Chapter 60: The Singing and Dancing Gun
"Grand Master Wen Zhong?"
"There is no such person in my court."
"Could it be that the historical materials about our Shang Dynasty that they have in their possession in later generations are wrong?"
"You wrote someone else as Wen Zhong by mistake?"
"But I have to say, my Great Shang army was really impressive on the sky just now!"
"That Master Wen, riding on a flaming beast, staring with his third eye, seems to be clearing away all the evil in the world!"
"And the four generals of the Demon Family who followed him were even more ridiculously large."
"I'm afraid I have the courage of ten thousand men!"
"If I were not in Da Shang at this moment, I would have really thought it was the real Da Shang army!"
"It seems that the scene just now is also a special kind of drama in later generations?"
"Why would future generations portray the army of our Shang Dynasty as so bizarre and supernatural?"
"Master Wen looks so serious. What is he doing here after returning from the North Sea?"
Emperor Xin was in a more relaxed state of mind.
It is believed that people in later generations admired the Shang Dynasty, so a TV movie was made about the Shang Dynasty.
At the same time, I also became curious and wanted to see the cause and effect of this clip.
Emperor Xin could make a vague judgment.
The video about Master Wen's return to the court that was made by Tianmu in later generations must have been more than just a few dozen seconds.
There is definitely more to come!
"Ah, it's so satisfying to see the army of our Great Shang so majestic!"
"It's a pity that the curtain just now was too short. It would be great if we had the chance to watch the whole thing in one go."
……
And in the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jiajing had just refined a batch of elixirs and was about to take them.
Looking at the Shang Dynasty army on the sky curtain, which obviously had extraordinary power, and then looking at the words on the sky curtain.
I feel like I understand.
No, I am sure that I understand!
Jiajing said happily to the followers beside him:
"Even the sky curtain shows the ancient Shang Dynasty, those mysterious powers of gods and ghosts. Doesn't this prove that there is actually a basis for refining elixirs to seek immortality?"
"It's just that these methods of ghosts and gods have been lost after thousands of years."
"Fortunately, after some exploration, I have finally found a way."
"Continue making alchemy!"
"I believe that one day, becoming a god through cultivation will be no problem."
"When the time comes, I will personally ask Master Wen to find out what his third eye is."
……
New canopy.
The picture slowly unfolds with melodious background music.
The pace is very soothing.
But when seeing the title on the sky curtain, ancient people of all generations could no longer remain calm.
[When the cavalry charge encounters Maxim! ]
【From then on, nomadic people became good at singing and dancing. 】
The title of Tianmu is very common, but it touches on a very important and crucial issue.
This problem began in the pre-Qin period.
It has been a problem that has troubled successive rulers of China.
That is, how to fight against nomads!
The vast grasslands in northern China are naturally suitable for nomadic people to survive.
The fierce nomadic people are the nightmare of countless dynasties!
Even at the peak of its power, a powerful dynasty could easily defeat nomadic peoples.
For example, when the Qin Dynasty was at its peak, it kept the Xiongnu at a distance of more than 700 miles, so that the Hu people did not dare to go south to graze their horses.
But because the area was not suitable for farming, the cost of ruling was huge.
The Great Wall Corps, the most elite main force of the Qin Dynasty, can only be stationed on the border for a long time.
It became an important factor in dragging down the Qin Dynasty.
Emperor Wu of Han controlled both sides of the empire and slaughtered the Huns in great numbers.
But in the end, the Han population was reduced by half.
This was an important factor in why Emperor Wu of Han was often regarded as a mediocre person in ancient times.
Even if this group of nomads is completely defeated, it will only make room for the next group of new nomads.
In the early years of his reign, Li Shimin destroyed the Turks and made Jie Li Khan the dance king of Chang'an.
But so what?
The Turks made a comeback a few years later.
The powerful dynasty suffered huge losses in years of war against nomadic peoples.
Even though the national finances are exhausted, the problem cannot be solved once and for all.
Only heavy troops can be maintained on the border.
And at the end of the dynasty?
The powerful nomadic cavalry is the nightmare of all the rulers of the Chinese dynasties!
It can be said that from Qin Shihuang to Emperor Wu of Han.
From Emperor Taizong of Tang to Emperor Chengzu of Ming.
Emperors of all dynasties have dreamed of solving the problem of nomadic peoples once and for all.
were able……
Let the nomadic people become good at singing and dancing.
Now Tianmu says that a weapon called Maxim can make nomadic peoples become good at singing and dancing?
The attraction of this kind of magical artifact to ancient emperors was naturally unprecedented.
Almost all emperors who have a little bit of ambition and want to do something.
They all stared at the sky screen with eyes wide open, afraid of missing anything.
The story officially begins.
[Today we are going to talk about the magic weapon for dealing with cavalry, which is the Maxim machine gun. 】
[First of all, it should be pointed out that the victory of agricultural civilization over nomadic civilization was a comprehensive development process. ]
[It's not true that just relying on a weapon can make someone become good at singing and dancing. ]
[And to be honest, nomadic peoples were also good at singing and dancing before the invention of the Maxim, weren't they?]
【But one thing must be admitted. 】
[War machines represented by the Maxim machine gun have greatly changed the situation of war. ]
[After Maxim's large-scale equipment, cavalry really became a fast-moving force. ]
[We can no longer charge and kill infantry at will like in the cold weapon era. ]
[Become the king who decides the outcome of the battlefield. 】
[Cavalry has been eliminated by the war of the new era! ]
[Before we formally begin to introduce Maxim, let us first watch a wonderful movie clip. ]
……
After a simple transition, the first thing that appears is a group of gathered soldiers.
They were marked on the sky curtain as British soldiers.
These soldiers were dressed in neat uniforms and looked in excellent spirits.
Each of them rode a very majestic warhorse that was well taken care of.
The soldiers' mental temperament, maintenance of weapons and equipment, and love for their mounts.
These things can't deceive people.
Just at first glance, you can tell that this is definitely a group of the most elite cavalry troops.
A smartly dressed officer, he gave an inspiring speech.
[Brothers of the Cavalry, we must make the Germans regret the war they started! ]
【Fight bravely and fearlessly, let us fight for our motherland! 】
【Fear God and glorify our King! 】
After a brief speech, the high-spirited cavalry soldiers set off.
The place where they set out was in a wheat field.
The footage at this time is very beautiful.
The elite cavalry assembled in the scenic fields, with cool breezes blowing and catkins flying.
It's like an oil painting!
Many ancient people were impressed that later generations were really good at finding scenes when shooting movies and TV shows.
……
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng looked at these cavalrymen and could not help but say with envy:
"What a group of elite cavalry!"
"I'm afraid that there is no weapon that can deal with such cavalry except tanks."
"Maxim, can the British cavalry who can really fight also sing and dance?"
