- Although Major Swede's regiment looks very different, Ding Yunyi knows that this is actually the future development direction of the army.
Sooner or later, guns will completely replace cold weapons like swords. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't keep up with the development of the times, you will inevitably be ruthlessly eliminated.
Although swords and muskets are not at a disadvantage on the battlefield now, in a few years, brave and fearless warriors holding swords will not even have any resistance in the face of muskets.
The only thing that dissatisfied Ding Yunyi was that the Chinese soldiers in the "Major Shiweide Regiment" wearing weird military uniforms looked too weird.
Moreover, Swede and Mansura seemed not to be satisfied with this. They actually created a drum band, all of which played Thai musical instruments. Once the war broke out and Major Swede's regiment went into battle, these drumming bands would play music while Fight with the enemy.
Ding Yunyi knew that this was also the habit of the Dutch, Spanish, and English people. He could tolerate such weird military uniforms, and let them do things like the drum band.
After listening to it for a while, I thought it was pretty good and could boost morale. Qin Yun was especially interested.
Hearing this kind of Thai and Western musical instrument, Ding Yunyi suddenly remembered something: "Fourth brother, how are you and that French woman Rachel Sha?"
Caught off guard, Qin Yun was a little embarrassed. After being coy for a long time, he quietly said: "Third brother, please stop making fun of me. Rachel Sha and I are just in love."
Ding Yunyi smiled, he didn't want to have to interfere with these matters of his subordinates.
Out of Shi Weide¡¯s military camp. Seeing Li Guo from a distance, he called him to his side and asked about the current situation of the Pirate Alliance. Li Guo told him that during the period when Ding Yunyi left, the Pirate Alliance's influence intensified and its power increased greatly with the end of the Battle of Golden Eagle City. There are now ninety-three pirate companies and more than two hundred ships. Among them were pirates from the Ming Dynasty, pirates from Luzon and other places, and even pirates from the Fusang Kingdom. Only a few pirates remained stubborn. Refuse to join the alliance.
"Those who are unwilling to join will be eliminated resolutely." Ding Yunyi did not ask them why they were unwilling to join.
Those who follow me will prosper, those who go against me will perish! This is Ding Yunyi's only idea at the moment.
He no longer cares much about how others view and evaluate himself. The only thing he thought about. That is how to expand one's power as quickly as possible to a point where it is strong enough to fight against any force.
And in Ding Yunyi¡¯s heart, he has already started planning for the second pirate conference. In the entire concept, pirates will be an important part of their military strength. At the first pirate conference, only six came. This new conference will show a completely different look.
"That's right." Li Guo suddenly said: "That time, a pirate from Fusang Kingdom came to surrender. He said that there was a pirate on an island in Fusang Kingdom, and he also got support from someone. He is quite powerful."
Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t pay too much attention: ¡°Did he join?¡±
"No." Li Guo shook his head.
"Destroy him!" Ding Yunyi's answer was very simple.
Li Guo was a little embarrassed: "He did not move within the sphere of influence we demarcated. It is said that this man always goes to sea quietly with a few boats. No one knows where he goes. He often leaves for more than a month and comes back. I always come home with a full load.¡±
Ding Yunyi nodded: "Li Guo, you tell me. Although the sea is boundless, ninety-three pirates have to fight for food on the sea. The merchant ships we protect cannot be robbed. They also have no power to rob the merchant ships protected by Zheng Zhilong. One pot of rice." That¡¯s all, what do you think they should do?¡±
Li Guo was startled. Ding Yunyi immediately said: "So you send out my alliance flag, and the second pirate conference will be held in Golden Eagle City in March next year, mainly to solve this problem. Our vision cannot be too short-sighted, we must take a longer view."
Li Guo nodded in agreement.
At this time, the sound of drills came from the cavalry barracks that had just been established not far away. Ding Yunyi became interested and walked over.
In addition to the 200 cavalry brought back from the Central Plains, Ding Yunyi temporarily carefully selected 100 soldiers to join the cavalry.
Most of these are Taiwanese locals who have lived by the sea since childhood and have never ridden a horse for a day, but Ding Yunyi wants to forge an elite cavalry here.
Hou Lu was explaining the essentials of riding to the recruits. Huangfu Yunjie was sitting on a chair with a straight face and said nothing.
Originally, Ding Yunyi¡¯s intention was to let him rest for a while before starting up the cavalry. Who would have thought that he couldn¡¯t wait any longer and started training the cavalry early.
Ding Yunyi did not interrupt and stood at the door of the military camp and watched carefully. OnlySeeing that Hou Lu had finished explaining, Huangfu Yunjie stood up: "What is cavalry? They are used to clash with the enemy's formations. They are the best of the best! Those infantry and navy troops are not worthy of being compared with us!"
"Damn it." Li Guo was unhappy when he heard this and cursed fiercely.
Ding Yunyi smiled, but no one was happy to hear Huangfu Yunjie's words.
Huangfu Yunjie's words came again over there: "Our cavalry's salary is higher than others, our weapons are better than others, and we also have war horses! The infantry has to rely on its own two legs, and the navy is nothing after getting off the ship .¡±
"If you have the fucking ability, come and try it in the sea!" Li Guoyin muttered again with a sullen face.
"We cavalry have the right to be arrogant. When you are here, it is your ancestors who burned incense." Huangfu Yunjie's voice became louder: "But when the cavalry arrives on the battlefield, they cannot be afraid of death and have to treat themselves as dead people! Chong, We have to rush wherever the mountain tells us, there is no room for hesitation or fear! We cavalry are the decisive force and are used to fight to the death!"
Are cavalry used to fight to the death? This was the first time Ding Yunyi heard this. Raising a cavalry is much more expensive than raising an infantry. Not counting those special armors and swords, just raising a war horse is a lot of work. Could it be that I took them to death on the battlefield?
That¡¯s a lot of money!
"But Ding Yunyi has a characteristic. Since he has entrusted you with such a thing, he has unconditional trust in you. You won't interfere in anything.
Over there, Huangfu Yunjie continued:
"It's not that easy for our cavalry to die. Two hundred of our brothers followed General Zhaowu in the Central Plains and killed the bandits in rivers of blood. In Xinyang, 300 cavalry defeated 50,000 bandits; in Yingzhou, 800 cavalry defeated 40,000 bandits. Thieves; Suzhou, two hundred cavalry defeated one hundred thousand thieves! Such a feat can only be achieved by our cavalry!"
As soon as these words came out. Qin Yun and Li Guo's eyes suddenly changed.
We only know that Shenrong fought a bloody battle in the Central Plains, but Shenrong never told the specific process. God, a few hundred cavalry fought against tens of thousands of people and they still won. Is this still a human being?
Ding Yunyi rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly. Huangfu Yunjie's words were a bit exaggerated.
The Three Hundred Cavalry of Xinyang made a sudden attack, while Yingzhou relied on the geographical advantages and struggled to hold on. As for Suzhou, the so-called "one hundred thousand thieves" are actually only a few hundred people who can fight at most.
But these things change after being passed around. Especially when it comes from the mouth of a general like Huangfu Yunjie who has personally participated in all battles, the taste is even different.
Sure enough, those newly added people showed shock, envy, and admiration on their faces.
Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t give a damn, and listened to Huangfu Yunjie continue:
"General Zhaowu personally set three rules for our cavalry. All our cavalry must remember them from the first day! Look at that flag!"
He pointed his hand, and Ding Yunyi and others couldn't help but look over.
That was the time of the bloody battle in the Central Plains. A battle flag that has always been flying on the battlefield, already dilapidated and full of blood:
The brave and loyal tiger guards!
Huangfu Yunjie said sternly: "The iron rule of the cavalry! If you see the flag and don't advance, kill! If you hear the enemy retreat, kill! Behead those who are less than the third level. Kill!"
"If you see the flag and refuse to advance, kill! If you hear the enemy retreat, kill! If you behead less than three levels, kill!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
This place is very different from the Major Shiweide Regiment that Ding Yunyi visited just now. Shi Weide's major group was orderly and calm, but here it was full of momentum.
"Practice!"
Huangfu Yunjie roared, and the new recruits quickly threw themselves into training. When he turned around, he saw Ding Yunyi looking there for a long time and hurriedly ran over: "General Zhaowu."
Li Guo snorted and Huangfu Yunjie felt a little strange. Was he dissatisfied with himself? I didn't offend him.
Ding Yunyi smiled: "Huangfu, are you satisfied with the soldiers you selected for you?"
"General." Huangfu Yunjie opened his mouth and said this: "If there was still room for choice, I would not choose them, but in these extraordinary times, we can only make up for it. If their quality is not the same as when they were in the Central Plains, Just like General Zhaowu¡¯s subordinates, I can help General Zhaowu train the most elite cavalry within half a year!¡±
Hearing him talk about the brothers who died in the bloody battle in the Central Plains, Ding Yunyi's face turned slightly gloomy, and then he calmed down: "Let's not talk about the past. Huangfu, if I give you a few years, I can drag you to the border and fight with Jin Lu. What are your chances of winning the cavalry battle?"
"I don't know." Huangfu Yunjie said honestly: "I have been working in China all year round under my post.In battles, most of the time it was cavalry against infantry. I had never fought against Jinlu. I just heard that Jinlu was good at riding and shooting, and he immediately galloped forward and fired his arrows without missing a beat"
"Nonsense, that was all made up by the Ming army general who suffered a defeat in order to cover up his incompetence." Ding Yunyi interrupted him: "You are a cavalry yourself. Just imagine shooting an arrow on a galloping horse. How can you be accurate? Yan? I think it is nothing more than stopping the horse to shoot arrows, dismounting to shoot arrows, and flying at once to shoot arrows. They are just deceiving themselves. In battle, the Ming army often has to wait until the Ming army is close to within ten steps, and then the Ming army shoots arrows. The armor is poor, and it falls in response to strings, which creates the illusion that Jinlu's cavalry and shooting are quite fierce."
There was a pause: "The characteristics of cavalry and archery are distinct, and the shortcomings are also distinct. They are highly dependent on terrain and are not good at attacking tough battles. During the Han Dynasty, the famous general Li Ling's five thousand infantry archers could fight against the Xiongnu's tens of thousands of cavalry archers. If not Even if they run out of arrows and food, they will not surrender. Mongolian cavalry and archery are almost invincible in the world, but all sieges have to rely on the mechanical power of other nations. In the few sieges in which cavalry and archery participated, the Mongols and the general There is no difference in the army, and the casualties are huge, so in my opinion, the power of the cavalry is exaggerated.¡±
"How can we use cavalry to attack a city?" Huangfu Yunjie muttered.
"Yes, I have to rely on you to fight in the wild." Ding Yunyi smiled and comforted: "Are there any difficulties now?"
"Yes!" Huangfu Yunjie said immediately; "General, there are too few war horses here right now. Where are the horses that the general promised me?"
"That's why I came to see you." Ding Yunyi said: "Fujian lacks good horses that can be used on the battlefield. I thought that it might not be easy to find suitable horses in other places where horses are abundant. War horses are needed everywhere right now, and I'm afraid we won't be able to share them. There is only one place where we can try our luckBorder."
"Border pass?" Huangfu Yunjie was startled after hearing this: "There they fight with the Jinlu all day long. Although the horses are excellent, I'm afraid they won't give them to us."
"If you don't want them to give it away, let's buy it and pay a big price for it." Ding Yunyi smiled: "Besides, I still have an old friend there, or he may be willing to help us. Huangfu, please prepare and select a few brothers and I'll go to the border together."
"Yes." Huangfu Yunjie said loudly.
"Third brother, you just came back and are going out again?" Qin Yun reminded carefully: "Your injuries haven't healed yet. Don't make everyone worry about you like last time."
Ding Yunyi said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The injury this time is not serious. It's almost the same as the good ones. It's just that the injury on the leg is still a little unfavorable. When I returned to Taiwan this time, I saw that everyone was doing everything in an orderly manner, but I Instead, I have become a redundant person. As for Fujian, Zheng Zhilong and I have already made an agreement. Although this agreement is not so reliable, there will be no big troubles in the near future. Besides, it won't be hard this time."
Seeing that Third Brother¡¯s attention has already been paid attention to, Qin Yun didn¡¯t say much. ¡°Third Brother, please be careful and go back early.¡±
"I will definitely come back before the second pirate conference." Ding Yunyi pursed his lips and said: "You must not relax and deal with things quickly. We don't have much time left for us."
Qin Yun and others were startled after hearing this. What does it mean that our time is running out?
Ding Yunyi did not elaborate with them.
It¡¯s just that there is indeed not much time left for yourself and Taiwan. The pace of collapse is getting closer and closer. By then, will Taiwan become a country outside the world, or will it become a strange army?
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!" As they were talking there, Ah Hu ran over panting, and in front of Ding Yunyi, he looked unhappy: "Brother-in-law, your wife has arrived in Taiwan."
Ding Yunyi was confused after hearing this. What do you mean my wife has arrived in Taiwan?
Ah Hu said angrily: "That's the wife you married in Suzhou!" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
