    A trade blueprint appeared in front of Ding Yunyi.

    If you follow this blueprint normally, the wealth you will gain will be incredible.  This will also lead Taiwan to enter a comprehensive and healthy development track.

    The first person to benefit is the Taiwan Firearms Bureau.

    The Firearms Bureau, which has received a large amount of capital injection, is showing great vitality.

    The two departments managed by Kondruman and Al are both cooperative and competitive.  Although Ding Yunyi knew that the replacement of the old matchlock gun by the flintlock gun was an inevitable development in history, he did not want to get involved in the competition between the two. Which one was better and worse would soon be revealed naturally as time went by.  And an excellent gunmaker like Kondruman will soon understand the huge advantages of new weapons and make the right choice for himself.

    At the same time as the muskets, various types of artillery began to be developed, including the Qianjin Folang machine and the Hongyi cannon.

    These types of artillery have been strictly classified and divided into No. 1 to No. 5 guns. Among them, No. 1 to No. 3 guns are mainly used for ship and fortress defense. No. 4 guns are accompanying army guns, and No. 5 guns are siege guns.

    Ding Yunyi attaches great importance to firearms to the point where it even makes others look jealous.  A large amount of financial, material, and human resources have gone there. Apart from the shipyards, the conditions of the Firearms Bureau are unparalleled in Taiwan.

    Among these people, the one who is the most unknown but the one who deserves the most attention from Ding Yunyi is undoubtedly Li Dingguo.

    He does not need Li Dingguo to become an expert in firearms manufacturing. His only requirement for him is to be familiar with these firearms before he will be assigned to the army.

    Li Dingguo did not live up to Ding Yunyi's expectations.  From the first day he entered the Firearms Bureau, he stayed here day and night, almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

    "The one who is as diligent as Li Dingguo is the Al who was brought back from Jinzhou.

    ¡° Al is a person who is completely obsessed with firearms. He didn¡¯t get a chance in France or in the capital.  In Taiwan, Ding Yunyi chose to trust him unconditionally, no matter what he asked for.  Ding Yunyi will do his best to satisfy him.

    His teacher Mahan passed on all his knowledge to him, which made Al's development work a lot easier.

    The No. 3 flintlock gun has been developed, and the firing mechanism and safety mechanism have been improved.  This brings the flintlock gun suitable for equipping a large number of armies to a new level.  However, for Al, who pursues perfection, the No. 3 flintlock gun does not seem to satisfy him.

    While the No. 3 gun is being tested, the No. 4 gun has begun to be manufactured, and the blueprints for the No. 5 and No. 6 guns are also being designed.

    Although Ding Yunyi wanted to start formal production now, Al, who was strict and cautious, rejected his request. In his view, if a weapon cannot be perfect, it is undoubtedly irresponsible.

    Ding Yunyi was a little helpless.

    During the development project, Al easily produced more than a dozen rotating muskets.  This weapon, mainly used by the Thai and Western cavalry, also attracted Ding Yunyi's great attention.

    Ayer told Ding Yunyi that when Germany and France fought, the German cavalry was equipped with revolving muskets, while the French cavalry were still equipped with matchlock guns.  The battle is in progress.  Suddenly there was a heavy wind and rain, and the French troops equipped with matchlocks could hardly fire a single shot. However, the German cavalry, which used revolving muskets as their main weapons, became more and more courageous as they fought, beating the French soldiers to pieces.  Soon, the defeated French king also hired a considerable number of similar cavalry, these cavalry were also equipped with revolving muskets.

    It¡¯s just that this type of musket is not only complex in structure.  It is expensive to build, troublesome to use, and cannot reliably fire when there is contamination on the steel wheel, so it is not a priority development target in Al's eyes.

    Ding Yunyi asked for these dozen guns and gave them to Huangfu Yunjie as soon as he left the firearms bureau.

    "What's the use of this thing?" Huangfu Yunjie was dismissive: "Are you going to wait for the enemy cavalry to get close and use it to smash it?"

    "Get out!" Ding Yunyi couldn't laugh or cry. He cursed and called Li Dingguo who was following him over: "Dingguo, tell them how to use it."

    "Yes." Li Dingguo responded, and then said to Huangfu Yunjie: "Please lend me a horse, Mr. Huangfu."

    The war horse was brought over. Li Dingguo asked people to place a few targets in the distance, then took two guns, mounted the war horse, clamped the horse's body, and the war horse neighed and rushed forward.

    Li Dingguo immediately pulled out his gun and fired it with a "boom", then quickly changed to another gun and roared again.

    ??Immediately reined in the war horse, turned the horse's head back, dismounted and said: "Please go and take a look, Lord Huangfu."

    Once the gun was discharged, the gun was empty.After hitting the target, Huangfu Yunjie looked at it for a while and immediately said: "Please deputy mayor, please give me one for each of the cavalry."

    "Get out! Get out!" Ding Yunyi was angry and funny: "Damn it, do you think I am a rich man? This thing is very expensive and I can't bear to part with it. But I think in the future, each of our cavalry will be equipped with a short  Guns and muskets, the two armies are fighting. Hundreds of thousands of muskets will be fired first, killing half of the opponent's troops, and then killing as much as they want. What do you think of this? "

    "Okay, very good!" Huangfu Yunjie's eyes showed yearning.

    He is a cavalry general. He always believed that horseback skills and bravery were the most important thing for cavalry. However, when he arrived in Taiwan, this idea quietly changed.

    The Firearms Bureau is constantly experimenting with new firearms, and Huangfu Yunjie would go check them out when he had nothing to do. Who would have thought that he would be fascinated by them as soon as he saw them?

    Good guy, those firearms can blast the enemy to pieces before anyone can get close to them. Is that really a big deal?  The deputy town elder said that the future will definitely be dominated by firearms. This seems to be true at all.

    Although from the current point of view, firearms are not yet the most critical factor in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield, what about the future?  Once firearms make great progress, God knows what will happen on the battlefield.

    What Ding Yunyi wants is a change in the mentality of his subordinates. The era of cold weapons will gradually pass, and artillery and firearms will inevitably become the dominant force on the battlefield one day

    "Dingguo." Ding Yunyi called Li Dingguo to his side: "You have been in the Firearms Bureau for a long time, and the two of you don't know what's going on outside the window. I think you have almost mastered it, and I want to send you there.  How about going to the army?"

    Joy flashed through Li Dingguo¡¯s eyes.

    He knew from the beginning why the adults placed him in the Firearms Bureau, and he did not disappoint the adults' expectations.

    Ding Yunyi looked at him: "Dingguo, originally I wanted to arrange you to join Major Shiweide's regiment, but I think you may not be able to adapt to their training and combat methods, so I want you to choose three hundred soldiers by yourself.  , all armed with firearms. What do you think?"

    Li Dingguo was overjoyed. He never thought that the adults would let him command a team.

    "Let me give you a suggestion." Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment: "The people you choose may as well be younger. They can also grasp new things faster. You can choose the entire Taiwan and Penghu, what kind of weapons you want.  , you can choose it yourself. I give you this privilege"

    "My lord, Dingguo will definitely live up to your expectations"

    Ding Yunyi smiled: "Your team does not require you to have combat capabilities immediately, but you must be familiar with the use of firearms. Although the size of three hundred people is not large, it is your foundation, and it can still develop and grow in the future.  One day, you will command thousands of troops on the battlefield"

    "My lord" Li Dingguo took a deep breath: "Dingguo was a bandit and your prisoner, but your lord did not dislike Dingguo at all. Instead, he deliberately cultivated this kindness.  The country doesn¡¯t know when it will be able to repay.¡±

    "Don't say such things." Ding Yunyi patted him on the shoulder: "Actually, to be honest, as soon as I saw you on the battlefield, I felt that I was destined to be with you. Rogue bandits and prisoners. These are all things in the past. You have not  Brothers and sisters, I don¡¯t have a younger brother either. If you don¡¯t mind, just follow them and call me third brother"

    Li Dingguo was stunned.

    What is your identity?  Rebellious thieves and prisoners!  What is Master Ding¡¯s identity?  A powerful hero in the world, but now Master Ding allows himself to call him "Third Brother"?  But he wants to accept him as his younger brother?

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly: "Why. Not willing?"

    "Three Third brother" When these two words were spoken.  Li Dingguo's voice was trembling.

    Ding Yunyi smiled happily.

    Within his own group, Li Dingguo is young, an outsider, and has no gang influence. It is this type of person that he is deliberately cultivating now.

    He has no distracting thoughts, no cliques, no cliques, is loyal to himself, and is willing to risk his life for himself at critical moments.

    He did not doubt Li Dingguo's loyalty at all, even though he was a "rebel" before.  Once a person like Li Dingguo recognizes you, he will never betray you for the rest of his life.

    Everyone has faith, and Ding Yunyi will make himself Li Dingguo¡¯s only faith!

    "Go ahead and make your own decisions when things happen." Ding Yunyi encouraged him: "As for the name, I think it's called 'Hu Ben Qinjun'. My brother-in-law Ahu also returned to Taiwan from Penghu.  He was allowed to set up a 'Tiger and Ben's Army', also with a size of 300 people. The age difference between you and him isNot too big, just get closer and closer in the future.  "

    "Yes, eldestthird brother"

    "Okay, let's go and do your business." Ding Yunyi smiled and waved his hand.

    The Huben Pro-Army was also established on this day, and this year, Li Dingguo was seventeen years old.

    The Huben Army is controlled by Ding Yunyi's "brother" Li Dingguo, and the Huben Army is controlled by Ding Yunyi's brother-in-law Ahu. These two troops are also regarded as the two most trusted troops by Ding Yunyi.

    As soon as I returned to Golden Eagle City, I saw Ahu at first sight.

    Ah Hu is sixteen years old and has grown into a big boy. Ding Yunyi wanted to give him a name several times, but Ah Hu refused. He thought the word "A Hu" sounded good. Ding Yunyi  Reluctantly, I just let him go.

    "Brother-in-law." As soon as he saw Ding Yunyi, Ahu shouted excitedly.

    "What brother-in-law?" Ding Yunyi said with a straight face: "You are now the commander of the Tiger Guard Army and a soldier. You can only call me brother-in-law at home!"

    "Yes, Deputy Town!" Ah Hu shouted loudly and stuck out his tongue.

    Ding Yunyi had a smile on his face: "How about it? Have you selected all the members of the Tiger Guard Army?"

    "Back to the deputy town, we have selected three hundred people, all of whom are about the same age as me." A Hu said proudly: "Deputy town, from now on, A Hu will also be a general leading troops."

    "General? You? You're still early." Ding Yunyi poured cold water on him: "Although you have always been by my side, you have never fought in a war. It is not easy to be a general. My Tiger Guards  , Everyone is good at fighting, even if they fight, what do you have?"

    Ah Hu was a little unconvinced: "I am just as desperate for my life in a fight. Moreover, they are all outsiders, I am one of our own, and I am the most trustworthy person in the deputy town"

    "Fart!" Ding Yunyi's face darkened: "What kind of outsider is your own person? How old are you, and this is what you are thinking about in your head? Look at the people around me, which one did not fight with me in blood? Which one is not my own?  Brother? Ah Hu, I¡¯m warning you, you don¡¯t have to think about this again.¡±

    "Yes, Ah Hu knows he was wrong."

    Your own people?  outsider?  Ah Hu thinks so, but what about the others?  We are all in the same boat now, but what about the future?  What will happen when the power further develops in the future?

    A Hu¡¯s words reminded Ding Yunyi.

    "Brother, brother!" Xiaotu appeared out of nowhere and interrupted Ding Yunyi's train of thought: "Brother, I am already sixteen years old. Ahu can lead troops, so can I. Brother, so can you.  Give me a team. You promised me before that you would make me a female general."

    "Little girl, get out of here." Ah Hu said angrily.

    "Who is the little girl? You are not as old as me!" Xiaotu stared.

    The Xiaotu at this time is completely different from the Xiaotu who was starving to death.  Having good food and living well has nourished her into a beautiful young girl.

    Ding Yunyi touched his head and said with a "haha" smile: "I don't think you need to be a female general. It's true that I can help you find a good husband."

    "Brother!" Xiaotu's face suddenly turned red.

    "You're sixteen, almost seventeen. Don't you still want to find your husband's family?" Ding Yunyi pretended to have a straight face: "If you let your parents know about the swordsmanship all day long, it's my brother's fault for not taking care of you.  Take it with you!¡±

    Xiaotu grabbed Ding Yunyi's arm: "Brother, I won't marry. You promised me, but you don't keep your word. You have to let me lead the troops like A Hu!"

    Ding Yunyi's head was so big because of her. Her brother-in-law and sister were still in Taiwan. They saw how unbecoming they were and had no choice but to surrender: "It's done, it's done. You go and set up a tiger and benign female army. Don't do it."  Don¡¯t bother me again.¡±

    Xiaotu then let go: "Brother, you can't be dishonest in what you say!" (Your support is my biggest motivation.)
