- "shooting!"
At Li Dingguo¡¯s order, the muskets in the hands of the soldiers who were about his age rang out.
The target was hit completely, but Li Dingguo still seemed to be very dissatisfied, and kept shouting something loudly.
??The Tiger Guards and the Tiger Guards!
"Humph, what's so big about this?"
A Hu, the commander of the Huben army who was specially invited by Li Dingguo, was very disdainful: "It sounds very lively, but after one shot is fired, it is useless. If it really goes on the battlefield, it is no match for my Huben army."
Li Dingguo smiled and did not argue with him.
"Fart!" A curse suddenly came from behind.
Li Dingguo and Ah Hu looked back, and they both shouted out at the same time: "Third brotherBrother Ding"
Ding Yunyi is back!
"Hu Ben's pro-military army did a good job."
Looking at the soldiers holding muskets, Ding Yunyi seemed to be very satisfied: "Ah Hu, don't underestimate these musketeers. I think if this situation continues for two years, your Tiger and Ben troops will not be able to defeat Dingguo at all."
Ah Hu chuckled a few times, but his expression showed obvious disbelief.
Without saying much to him, Ding Yunyi pointed at Li Dingguo¡¯s subordinates: ¡°Can they be equipped with all muskets?¡±
"Not yet." Li Dingguo shook his head seriously: "We still have to rely on the cover of spearmen and others. Our Tiger and Ben troops have only been in force for a year, and they are still unable to form the most effective combat effectiveness. If you can give me another two or three years time, you can go to the battlefield.¡±
Ding Yunyi nodded appreciatively, what he wanted was the truth.
A force with strong combat effectiveness. A force completely armed with firearms cannot be formed into an army in a short period of time, and must have a longer training process.
He obviously did the right thing by choosing Li Dingguo to lead the firearms force, the Tiger and Ben troops.
"What about you?" Ding Yunyi turned to Ahu with a straight face and asked.
"Brotherah, Chief Town, please go and see my Tiger Guards!" Ah Hu puffed up his stomach. He said carelessly.
Ding Yunyi still had a straight face: "If you don't train well, I will withdraw you on the spot."
When Ding Yunyi arrived at the training ground of the Huben Guards, he saw a completely different scene.
Those great young guys of seventeen or eighteen years old. Everyone was shouting and yelling with great energy.
¡°These young guys are really fighting on the training ground. With their eyes wide open, they kept shouting, shouting "Hehe", and fought fiercely together.
Ding Yunyi saw with his own eyes that a soldier's eye socket was cracked, and his eyes were blurred by blood, but he roared, threw down the soldier who injured him, and raised his fists to "crack and bang". Easy to fight.
"Let those two people come over." Ding Yunyi pointed.
"Mao Fa, Mao Cai. Stop fighting, come here."
When they heard the name, Ding Yunyi and Li Dingguo both laughed. Are these two brothers in love? Their father must have gone crazy to get rich, so he gave his son such a name.
The two of them stood in front of Ding Yunyi, their faces covered with blood.
"Are you brothers?" Ding Yunyi asked curiously.
"Back to the main town. Yes! I am the elder brother and he is the younger brother!" Mao Fa, whose eye sockets were cracked, said loudly.
Ding Yunyi looked them up and down: "Brother, why are you so cruel?"
"Go back to the main town. Is this what Commander Ah Hu ordered us to do?"
"Oh why?"
"Back to the main town, Commander Ah Hu said. If you want to not be a coward on the battlefield, you must first not be a coward during training. Even brothers must practice like this to death, otherwise they will be wrong on the battlefield in the future. die."
Ding Yunyi said "Oh" and looked at Ahu again.
My brother-in-law has never received any military training. Everything he knows was what he saw with his own eyes when he was in Penghu.
When Ding Yunyi trained his troops, he also focused on the word "ruthless". Ah Hu has admired Ding Yunyi since he was a child. Now that he is leading the troops himself, he has completely adopted the same style.
¡°You have to be ruthless when training, but ruthlessness is not everything.¡±
Ding Yunyi thought for a while: "If one day, one of your brothers is injured on the battlefield, what will happen to the other one?"
"Help!" Mao Cai said without thinking: "Our father said that as brothers, we have to help each other. If anyone bullies one of us, we will beat him up!"
Ding Yunyi smiled: "That's right, you have to be ruthless when training, but on the battlefield, you have to help each other. If one is injured, the other has to risk his life to save it. But this is not only for you brothers, but also for other companions. in this way."
"Yes, I understand, Chief!"
Ding Yunyi waved his hand and asked them to continue training. He turned to Ahu and said, "Your troops will be put to use now that the war begins."
When Ah Hu heard this, he was very proud and looked at Li Dingguo as if he was demonstrating.
"But" Ding Yunyi smiled again: "In the future, when Dingguo's troops can be used on the battlefield, you will not be able to defeat him!"
This is the second time Ding Yunyi has said such words today. Ah Huda is not convinced, but he cannot show it in front of Ding Yunyi
Ding Yunyi knew that A Hu was unconvinced, but the future would soon prove all this.
What made him happy was that after he left Taiwan for more than a year, Li Dingguo and Ah Hu lived up to his expectations. The Huben pro-army and the Huben pro-army grew like small trees in spring. Soon, they would grow into adults. Giant trees
One of them is his adopted brother, and the other is his brother-in-law. There is no doubt about their loyalty to him. And adding young, fearless, daring and courageous young people like them to the Tiger Guard will become the most powerful fresh blood.
Soon, it¡¯s almost time for them to play their role
Coming out of the training ground, Ding Yunyi went straight to the firearms bureau. This is one of the places he cares most about, and he has never forgotten it when he was in the Central Plains.
We just arrived at the entrance of the Firearms Bureau. At first glance, Ding Yunyi saw more than a dozen artillery pieces that looked like they were newly manufactured, neatly stacked there, waiting to be transported away.
Ding Yunyi was very excited when he saw the Thousand Jin Folang Machine, Red Yi Cannon they were placed there one by one.
Cannons, these are all my own cannons! During his absence in Taiwan, the Firearms Bureau's production capacity has obviously reached a new level
Those are the No. 1, 2, and 3 ship guns and fortress guns, that is the No. 4 army cannon, and that is the No. 5 siege gun
Ding Yunyi let out a long breath. Once a war breaks out, these are the most powerful weapons that will determine the outcome of the war!
As soon as he entered the firearms bureau, he saw Kondruman, Al and Jiao Xu arguing fiercely about a musket. The three people spoke in Ming Dynasty Mandarin for a while. After a while, he said, "You don't understand what I'm talking about, and I don't understand what you're talking about." He was dancing around and spitting. It looked like they were about to start a fight.
And Simond, who was originally acting as a translator, stood aside in a daze and had no time to translate
"Calm down, calm down." Ding Yunyi hurried over, fearing that they would really have a conflict.
Seeing Ding Yunyi, who had been "missing" for more than a year, appear, Al pulled him over without saying hello: "Ding, look, I firmly believe that such a musket must be further improved to make it completely free of But my dear Mr. Kondruman is firmly opposed to this idea"
"No, it's completely ridiculous." Kondruman waved his arms: "If the musket loses the support of the bracket, the shooting accuracy will be further reduced. This is irrational. Any musket must be relied on. Brace! Al, I feel sorry for you. It's ridiculous that you still want to reduce the forty-three steps of musket firing, knowing that every step is strictly calculated and there is no one missing. It¡¯s become something very ridiculous!¡±
"He is the biggest difference between them," Ding Yunyi thought in his heart.
The reason why muskets are not yet dominant on the battlefield, or even a decisive factor. It's because of the various limitations of muskets.
Such as the bracket, such as the complicated and cumbersome launch steps. And I did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to hire these Thai people, not to ask them to produce muskets step by step, that is what the craftsmen do. What they want to do is to improve the muskets and invent more advanced muskets.
??In this sense, Ayer undoubtedly did a better job than Kondruman and had a longer-term vision.
"What do you think, Mr. Jiao?" Ding Yunyi did not answer immediately, but threw the question to Jiao Xu.
Jiao Xu behaved very calmly: "I agree with Mr. Al's opinion. Sooner or later, the bracket will be completely cancelled, and reducing the shooting steps will also allow the musket to function more perfectly."
He expressed his opinions carefully. Ding Yunyi listened very carefully. Then he thought for a moment and said to Jiao Xu: "Mr. Jiao, I want to keep you here. Do you have any opinions?"
Jiao XuyiOverjoyed, this was exactly what he wanted, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Ding Yunyi smiled with satisfaction. Although Jiao Xu had no contact with outside civilization, he was by no means inferior to any of the best Thai and Western gunsmiths. He is Ming Dynasty, Taiwan, and a pillar of his own firearms production!
With his joining, I don¡¯t have to put all my hopes on the Thai people.
Thinking of this, Ding Yunyi said slowly: "In fact, you don't have to argue so fiercely. Which method is best will be verified soon as time goes by. I will not take sides, you all have the same With ample funds, there are also enough manpower"
Although he said so in his mouth, in his heart, he had gradually shifted to Al and Jiao Xu's side.
Kondruman is an excellent craftsman, but he is only limited to this, while Al and Jiao Xu are master-level figures. Some of their seemingly "ridiculous" whimsical ideas will soon be all Realized one by one
Ding Yunyi saw what he wanted to see in the firearms bureau, and he did the same in the shipyard.
¡°At present, Cai Jiuzhou¡¯s father, Cai Qizhen, is fully responsible for the Taiwan Shipyard. Before Ding Yunyi left Taiwan, the "Tiger" warships and "Leopard" warships had all been put into production, and they had become the main warships of the Huben Navy.
"If we only look at quantity, it may take ten years for the Huben Guard Navy to reach the scale of the Zheng Family's fleet of more than 3,000 ships. However, in terms of quality, the Huben Guard Navy has far surpassed the Zheng Family Navy.
At the same time, the "Lion" class extra large warship also came out.
This warship named "Lion" is actually equipped with as many as ninety-eight artillery pieces of various types. It has a sturdy hull, good maneuverability, and powerful firepower. Its towering bow and castle-like hull will serve as a deterrent to the enemy in the event of a naval battle.
"Good, very good!" Ding Yunyi was full of praise when he saw the "Lion": "When this ship appears, it can scare the enemy half to death without fighting. I think we can get a few more ships like this." come out."
"How many more ships?" Cai Qizhen opened her eyes wide: "General Town, do you know how much money it costs to build such a ship? How much manpower does it cost? Being able to build one ship a year is already a great achievement."
"Ah, that's it." Ding Yunyi laughed a few times: "In those five years, we can build five ships. Mr. Cai, I think our Taiwan shipyard can be further expanded. You see, there are so many new ships coming from Taiwan. There are a lot of useful talents among the disaster victims, so just go and pick them out, and just go and get as much money as you need."
Cai Qizhen nodded: "But the shipyard is contrary to our original intention. At present, the shipyard invests a lot of money every year, and it is impossible to make money. My boss, I have been fooled by you. ¡±
Ding Yunyi laughed: "Mr. Cai, bear with me. Now everything will give priority to the military. If the military is weak, no matter how prosperous the trade is, it will be fleeting. We fought the Thais once, and I think there will be a second one." The third time. The Thais in Batavia and Malacca are still eyeing Taiwan and thinking about revenge Now they are trading with us, but it is profitable for both parties. , once an opportunity arises, they will never let it go"
Cai Qizhen nodded slowly.
Ding Yunyi suddenly sneered again: "Actually, they are staring at my Taiwan, why am I not staring at theirs?"
Cai Qizhen was surprised. Could it be that the main town had set its sights on the territories controlled by the Westerners such as Batavia and Malacca?
Ding Yunyi¡¯s idea is actually not complicated. Judging from the current development, Taiwan seems a little small for him. If you want to make a difference, you have to fight it out.
And where can we get a breakthrough? That's only in the territory controlled by these Taixi people! - Didn't finish reading?
