    "Muskets must be equipped with a large number of troops, and Shi Weide's Major Regiment is the starting point." Ding Yunyi turned the topic to Shi Weide: "How to maximize the power of muskets? When facing enemy cavalry attacks and artillery kills, how to obtain pikemen?  At the same time, I thought of maximizing the power of the musket."

    Ding Yunyi is not the kind of person who can remember everything accurately in his mind. His memory is relatively scattered, but he is always recalling the knowledge he gained in another era, and every time he remembers something, he can always remember it in time.  sorted it out: "Shi Weide, Mansoura, I think it is more appropriate to adopt line tactics during the battle."

    "Line tactics?" Shi Weide and Mansoura were a little curious.

    Ding Yunyi nodded: "Yes, the hit rate of muskets is too low. When a musketeer shoots at a humanoid target a hundred steps away, the hit rate is less than 10%, so the only way to improve the hit rate is through quantity.  If the skirmishing line tactics are adopted unchanged, the result of the encounter between the two groups of musketeers is that both sides fire randomly for a while, then throw away the muskets and rush to fight. My idea is to have the musketeers stand in ten rows in front.  After the soldiers in the platoon finish shooting, they use the half-kneeling method to reload ammunition. After the soldiers in the back row finish shooting, the soldiers in the front row stand up to shoot again. The entire musketeer square can form a dense and continuous firepower density.  "

    The linear tactic was an unheard-of novel tactic for Shi Weide and Mansoura. They heard Ding Yunyi say again: "Arrange into a square formation of musketeers to shoot. In comparison, the firepower of the scattered musketeers is too weak and the hit rate is too low.  , and cannot resist cavalry attacks. Compared with artillery, cavalry poses a greater threat to musketeers, so they must form a phalanx of musketeers. Although artillery is very powerful, the performance of our current artillery is limited.  Explosion in the phalanx. Unless the musketeer phalanx is directly in front of the artillery phalanx loaded with shotguns, the artillery cannot cause significant damage to the musketeer phalanx. On the contrary, our concentrated musketeers can inflict significant damage to the opponent.  ¡±

    He carefully explained the idea in his mind, this linear musketeer phalanx.  It would take another hundred years before it would be invented by Napoleon of France.

    And once Ding Yunyi's army is equipped with new muskets, this linear phalanx of musketeers will be able to play a very terrifying role on the battlefield.

    Shi Weide and Mansura couldn't fully digest Ding Yunyi's idea at once, so they thought about it carefully.  One moment he frowned, and the next moment there was a smile on his face.

    Ding Yunyi knew that it would take some time for them to digest it, but it was not urgent anyway, so let them savor it carefully.  Wait until they fully understand.  Maybe he thought he was a tactical genius again.

    One is a gun.  One is cannon, which Ding Yunyi attaches great importance to.  After explaining the artillery matters, Ding Yunyi asked about the manufacture of the artillery, and then turned to Li Dingguo: "Dingguo, what do you think of me?"

    "Many of them have never been heard of or seen before." Li Dingguo said honestly: "For example, this kind of musket. It is really terrible. If used together, it will be a nightmare for the enemy."

    Ding Yunyi's face looked a little solemn: "Yes, guns cannot yet become the force that determines victory or defeat on the battlefield. But with the further development of technology, swords, spears, bows and arrows will be completely eliminated sooner or later. The reason is actually very simple. When the enemy can  We can kill you with muskets and artillery a few hundred steps away, but you have to rush in front of the enemy to fight. This gap is irreparable. If we let the Ming army and the Taixi army fight now, the Taixi people are no match. We can.  Defeat them easily. But what about in a few decades? When the weapons of the Westerners become more and more advanced and terrifying, but we are still standing still, thinking that we can dominate the world with our bravery and guns.  There is only the fate of being massacred.¡±

    Li Dingguo listened very carefully, and he seemed to hear a kind of anxiety from Shenrong's mouth.

    "So now we have to have a sense of crisis." Ding Yunyi led Li Dingguo outside: "The focus of Taiwan is no longer to study how sophisticated swords are, nor to study the Dragon Soaring Formation, Tiger Wing Formation, but to study  Bigger and stronger warships, more terrifying guns and artillery, it will take thirty years, or more, to change my army. Firearms will become the main battle weapon, and swords can only play a supporting role.  However, this process will be very long. For a long time in the future, we will still rely on cold weapons. Ah, that is what I said about swords, guns, bows and arrows. But someone has to do it, but I cannot take care of it alone.  Thorough"

    He glanced at Li Dingguo meaningfully: "Although you are only fifteen years old this year, you have been in the army with Zhang Xianzhong for five full years. You are experienced and trustworthy in the army. You are young and have the ability to master new things."The speed is fast.  Shi Weide has formed a major regiment, all of which use firearms, but I think it is not possible to rely on these Folangji alone to fight the Lusi people.  They will always leave in the future. Who can I rely on when that time comes?  "

    Li Dingguo understood immediately: "If you join the army, Dingguo is not talented, but if you are willing to learn from scratch, you must master this firearm completely and arm yourself with a musketeer regiment!"

    "Not one, but many." Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. You first stay in the firearms bureau and study carefully to see how the muskets are made, what their advantages and disadvantages are, and how to use them. Then you can choose among the troops.  Soldiers, get a musketeer team first, lay the foundation, and then form ten or a hundred musketeers for me in the future!"

    "Yes, join the army!" Li Dingguo was in high spirits.

    Today he saw with his own eyes what a musket was, and the power of the musket. He also learned that Shen Rong attached great importance to the musket and had great ambitions.

    ¡°I am still young, only fifteen years old, and I can learn everything from scratch.  Three, five, or ten years later, what will it look like when a powerful musketeer team appears under its command?

    My name, like Shen Rong, may remain in the history books forever

    ?¡­

    "Beipiao."

    "Sir!" Xie Tian was not surprised when he saw Ding Yunyi suddenly arriving. He stood up and said respectfully.

    "Sit down." Ding Yunyi sat down first: "I recently returned to Taiwan. All my subordinates came to visit me. Why didn't I see you alone?"

    Xie Tian said calmly: "My lord, they are in charge of materials, they are in charge of supplies, they are in charge of shipyards, they are in charge of shipyards, they are in charge of soldiers, sir, when you come back, you should naturally report it. There is nothing particularly important here, so Xie Tian  There is no need to meet the Lord."

    The attitude was neither cold nor indifferent, and Ding Yunyi didn't care: "Nothing happened at all."

    "There are no big things, just a few small things." Xie Tian seemed very calm: "After the adults left, the Zheng family installed people in Taiwan. They instigated several troubles in an attempt to cooperate with Zheng Zhibao to seize Taiwan, but I discovered them all.  Zheng Zhibao saw that Taiwan was well guarded and evacuated without causing any big trouble."

    "Where are those people?" Ding Yunyi frowned and asked.

    "Kill. The body was put into a sack, tied with a big stone and thrown into the sea." Xie Tian looked indifferent, as if killing someone was like killing a chicken.

    Ding Yunyi frowned again.

    This man was originally a scholar and had been following Mr. Toshiki.  After his teacher died, the man was silent all day long and did whatever he was asked to do.  But I didn't expect that he, a scholar, would be so ruthless.  Could it be that Mr. Toshiki's death stimulated him too much?

    But since I sent him to do intelligence work.  It is people with this kind of character that are needed.  Not too talkative, not too busy.  Without asking why, the matter was taken care of quietly.

    "This time I have to leave Taiwan for a while"

    "Yes, sir, just feel free to go. If I need help, I will naturally go to Qin Yun and Cai Jiuzhou."

    "Ah, it's good that you know, you don't need to tell me, very good, very good." Facing such a person, Ding Yunyi didn't know what to say for a moment: "I mean, now our power is in Taiwan and Penghu  We have gained a foothold for the time being, but our main intelligence sources in Fujian rely on people like Ye Yuanxian and Cai Qizhen. Without our own strength, I always feel that it is a little unreliable. You see"

    "My subordinates are already making arrangements."

    Xie Tian's words were beyond Ding Yunyi's expectation. He only heard Xie Tian say: "I have sent a total of 138 people to Quanzhou, Fuzhou and other places. It is expected that this number will double next year. Among them, in Quanzhou, I have  I opened a restaurant as a contact point, a silk and satin shop in Fuzhou, and Nan'an"

    "Ah, okay, I got it." Ding Yunyi felt that he was superfluous today. Whatever he wanted, others had already done it for him.

    "Sir, I have a request."

    "Say it."

    ??

    Ding Yunyi knew that he was not intending to be an official, so he nodded: "It is indeed my negligence in this matter. Our Ming Dynasty has Jin Yiwei, Dongchang, Xichang, this one, this one you command  "

    He was thinking about the name, and somehow the little golden knife that Deng Muzhi gave him when he was in Suzhou popped up in his mind: "Let's call it Golden Knife Guard."The commander of the Golden Sword Guard, who is stationed in any position, is directly responsible to me.  You don¡¯t have to respond to anyone¡¯s words but mine, and you¡¯re not subject to anyone¡¯s control but mine.  As for the funding issue, I will ask Qin Yun to allocate a sum of money to you every three months, which you will personally control. You do not need to report the expenses to me.  As for the number of personnel in the Golden Blade Guard, there is no limit. You can develop as much as you think is possible.  "

    This is equivalent to giving Xie Tian great power.  To a certain extent, Xie Tian's power was only under that of Ding Yunyi.

    Xie Tian didn't even say "thank you", but simply said: "I will keep it in my heart. Your Excellency is busy with official duties, so I will stay here soon."

    "That's good. I gave him such great power, but he issued an eviction order."  Ding Yunyi left here with a bitter smile.

    But it was also from this day that the Golden Sword Guard, an independent organization, was officially established.

    Ding Yunyi was a little absent-minded and didn¡¯t know what he was thinking about when he went back. Duan Saner wanted to chat with him to relieve his boredom, but Ding Yunyi also didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him.

    Unknowingly, he walked over to Qin Yun's place again. He didn't want to go in at first, but he stood there and thought about it for a while, and then went in anyway.

    "Third brother, are you too idle?" As soon as he saw Ding Yunyi coming again, Qin Yun said: "You said you have been here a few times today? You will leave tomorrow and you won't go back.  Why do you keep hanging out with my sister-in-law? You don¡¯t see me having so much to do.¡±

    "***, thank God for blasting me, and you blast me too." Ding Yunyi cursed and sat down minding his own business.

    "Why, have you been to Xie Tian's place?" Qin Yun put down what he was doing: "That man is really weird. He doesn't like to interact with the brothers and always keeps to himself. Several times the brothers called  We went to drink with him, but he always made excuses to refuse. Later, the brothers simply stopped talking to him."

    Ding Yunyi said "yes" and told him about establishing the Golden Sword Guard and giving Xie Tian the responsibility.  Qin Yun was startled for a moment: "Third brother, this power is quite powerful. Do you trust him so much?"

    "It's not that I trust him, but this kind of people must hold a lot of power in their hands and must fully let them go." Ding Yunyi paused and said: "However, you may not say that I am completely reassured. Fourth child  , he comes to withdraw a sum of money every three months, is there any way you can help me find out where this money is?"

    Qin Yun blinked: "Third brother, do you want to find out what he did by investigating where his money went?"

    Ding Yunyi nodded silently, and Qin Yun was a little embarrassed: "Third brother, you are embarrassing someone. You are not letting him report the whereabouts of the money, and you have to let me investigate. This, this is not"

    "Cheer up, can you?" Ding Yunyi said a little impatiently.

    "Yes, yes." Qin Yun also replied simply: "Although he doesn't have to report it, the whereabouts of the money can still be traced. Third brother, he withdraws the money once every three months, so I will also report it to him every three months."  If you report it once, it will never delay your affairs."

    "Sure, then you get busy first, I'm leaving." Ding Yunyi stood up and walked out.

    Qin Yun's expression was a little complicated. Now, the third brother has learned to use people and guard against them. From a leader's point of view, the third brother is no longer the totally unscrupulous third brother in Penghu.  !  ~!
