The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 109
Ding Yi thought, at present, their technical requirements for artillery are not high, in fact, they have no technology, and his battalion only has Franc machine guns and ordinary iron cannons, which are very low-tech.

After starting to cast field artillery and having qualified instructors, the technical content of artillery can be improved.

Even so, there is no problem for the artillerymen to spend an hour a day practicing bows.

Because most of the time, the training intensity of the artillery is far inferior to that of the infantry.

He doesn't have any special requirements for the archers, as long as they can draw the bow to the full, it is enough to shoot eight or nine.

He doesn't need archers to be as capable as himself.

Because many times, there are so many people in wartime that you can shoot with your eyes closed.

Moreover, once the bow and arrow is shot, it has the effect of threatening and bluffing.

At present, there are still few artillerymen. Ding Yi plans to allocate about 80 artillerymen for each round in the future. If there are field artillery, at least 80 people will be needed.

2 Division Chief Mao Xin, the next four bureaus, Mao Xin, He Liangwu, Zhou Yougen, Ma Yue.

The whole army has 360 spear shield soldiers, 400 blunderbuss soldiers, and 120 artillery soldiers, a total of 880 people.

In this way, on the surface, Mr. Qian of Division 1 and Division 2 is not like Ding Yi's cronies.

But in the next eight rounds, Xiao Yongqiu, Wang Weizhong, He Liangwu, and Ma Yue are all Ding Yi's cronies.

Xu Wei and Xu Bicheng are also half-confidants.

Both Mao Xin and Zhou Yougen were former Lushun soldiers.

Ding Yi was not worried that he would not be able to control the army. When everyone was training every day, the instructor reminded them that it was Mr. Ding who provided the salary and food.

Pay monthly, remind me again.

Everyone above the general banner has to go through the training department, and each of them talks to Ding Yi for 10 minutes alone.

Especially Xu Wei, Xu Bicheng, Mao Xin, and Zhou Yougen's four bureaus, above the general banner, are basically people from the original Xu Dabao.

These people regard Ding Yi as a figure like a god of war, and they all worship him extremely.

So although Ding Yi didn't personally lead the troops, he had a firm grasp of the army.

Another 200 were from Zhang Jing's cavalry battalion.

The cavalry battalion now has few soldiers and few horses. Ding Yilu has bought some horses over the past few months, and it is barely enough to get two hundred.

Zhao Dashan is still the captain of Ding Yi's army and the director of the intelligence department, and Song Fei is the deputy director.

Right now the two are working together, and Ding Yi plans to let Song Fei learn to be in charge of artillery in the future.

Yang Yong and Ding Shitou are both in this department, one with Song Fei and one with Zhao Dashan.

Wei Jiye is good at shooting guns, and now he is the deputy captain of Ding Yi's personal army. He is relatively timid and doesn't have to go to the battlefield, so he is naturally very happy.

The newly established Financial Department, the directors Ruan Wenlong, Yao Xinhan, and Chen Youfu followed Ruan Wenlong and were mainly responsible for making money and financial distribution.

In addition, the shipping department, construction department, and logistics department are still the same, but the internal departments are more refined.

In Yantian, the service center belongs to the logistics department, and the land storage belongs to the construction department. After the grain is collected in the future, it will be handed over to the logistics department for statistics and storage.

In this way, they are separated from each other.

For example, the logistics department will dry salt, and after production, it will be sold to the shipping department, and the money will be handed over to the financial department.

The land storage department farms, and the grain is handed over to the logistics department for storage and statistics.

Everyone works separately and does their job well.

The other Ming soldiers came by themselves to stockpile the fields, counted them by themselves, collected a thousand shi, and reported that they had collected [-] shi, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

The new medical department is composed of hospitals and colleges, with Zhao Li and Song Zhe in charge respectively.

In normal times, he is responsible for the injuries and illnesses of the whole battalion, and cultural studies. In wartime, the hospital sends five doctors to follow in each round.

But Ding Yi intends to postpone the matter of cultural studies, and it will probably not start until the end of Houjin's first entry into the customs.

After Ding Yi reorganized, there was a problem.

Right now, the Lumi guns in his hands are only in the early [-]s, and the number of his gun soldiers is set at [-], which is far from enough.

Fortunately, in the past few months, he has more and more manpower and more craftsmen. Currently, he can produce 50 Lumi guns per month.

But still can't meet Ding Yi's request.

After Ding Yi finished the meeting this time, he planned to go out and think of a solution.

After the meeting, the various ministries adjusted according to Ding Yi's request, and the staff had to be in place within a day.

Those who don't have guns take turns to fire guns and practice loading.

At the same time, strengthen learning Ding Yi's style of play.

After the meeting was over, Ding Yi went to Wang Weizhong's game and watched the three-stage attack of gunmen.

With fixed gunpowder and granular gunpowder, skilled musketeers can fire one round in a minute.

Those who are unskilled can basically fire a round within 1 minute and 20 seconds, which is the time for aiming.

The firing success rate is more than [-]%, which is relatively high, and it is mainly due to the granular gunpowder.

At the beginning of September, the 9 Craftsmanship Bureau started construction on the camp in Pig Island, and Ding Yi brought 3 tons of freshly dried salt and four boats, ready to go to sea again.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Ding Yi looked at the world, full of confidence.

In one month, Hou Jin will launch the first entry campaign.

This battle was fought for seven months from October to May of the following year. In history, Chongzhen was also excluded from Yuan Chonghuan.

Ding Yi didn't care whether Yuan Chonghuan died or not. He only cared about how much benefit he got in this battle.

According to his original strategy, instead of aiding the capital, he would attack Jinzhou, make military exploits, improve his official position, and gain a larger territory.

If possible, I hope to control the entire Lushun.

Controlling the entire Lushun will have more territory and can accommodate more people.

He can start to try the shipyard.

A century-old navy, the shipyard cannot be built in a day or two.

My mission is heavy and long way to go.

When he was thinking about his next step, suddenly someone beside him shouted: "Look, the tree is here."

Zhao Dashan, Wei Jiye, Ruan Wenyan, Ruan Siqing and others who followed on the boat looked sideways.

I saw a warship from Phi Island in the sea coming slowly in front, with a long rope dragging in the water behind, and 50 meters behind the boat, a large bundle of pine trees with a breast diameter of more than [-] centimeters drifted like logs. on the sea.

Then look back, tens of meters away, there is another large bundle of pine trees connected to the previous one. From a distance, there are all the way to Lixu.

Phi Dao can pull almost two hundred roots once in this way.

Zhao Dashan looked at it and twitched: "Vice Chief Chen is getting more and more excessive, is this tree getting smaller?"

Originally, Ding Yi had agreed with him to be [-] centimeters, but after Chen Jisheng sent people to the island, he found that there were many of them, whether they were [-] centimeters or one meter, but they were all in the deep mountains and old forests.

The ones along the coast are still relatively small. In order to facilitate felling and transportation, they were changed to [-] centimeters, but they were guaranteed to be at least one meter or more than ten at a time. Of course, Ding Yi also reduced the cost in terms of price.

It doesn't matter to Ding Yi, anyway, he can't build ships now, and a small part is used to build houses and burn charcoal.

Most of them were transported to Pig Island.

On the west side of Pig Island, warehouses will be built, stored, and air-dried. After ten or twenty years, they can be used to build ships.

Or there can be a shipyard in advance, which can be dried.

However, for shipbuilding wood, it is best to dry naturally, which is relatively average. If it is dried, it is afraid of uneven dryness and wetness.

Of course, Ding Yi lacks experience in this area, so he needs to find shipwrights to study hard.

In the past two months, they have accumulated nearly a thousand logs on Pig Island.

Many people don't know why Ding Yi hoards so much wood, let alone that Ding Yi is already planning a century-old navy.

In Ding Yi's words, if you don't stock up now, when you want to build a ship, how about so much wood?
Seeing the long stream of logs passing by his boat continuously, Ding Yi was full of vigor and excitement.

He waved his hand: "Let's go."

Ningyuan took the lead, and the four boats slowly set out to sea.
