The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

After Chapter 113, it will be the world of cannons and firearms
It is not a superior, but they can obey the words of the following.

Some leaders are right or wrong?Whatever I say, you can do whatever you want, so much nonsense.

It is precisely because Ding Yi in his previous life has experienced too many such things and met too many such leaders, so now he is willing to listen to the correct opinions of his subordinates.

Even if they are wrong, Ding Yi does not criticize, because he believes that most subordinates not only need the approval of the leaders, but also the respect of the leaders.

Zhao Dashan leaned forward at this moment: "We have one hundred blunderbusses in one round, and the Tartars have 300 men in one buffalo. My lord, I think this bumblebee is so powerful, we should get more? One bout against one buffalo, one buff I'm afraid it's not enough."

Ding Yi shook his head: "Almost enough."

"The battlefield of the game against Niulu is generally not too big. Let's divide into three rows, with more than 30 people in each row."

"There are only so many people in the front of the Tartars. It is impossible for 300 people to line up in a long snake formation and charge forward."

Zhao Dashan thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

"Limited by the speed and range of guns, it's not easy to fight cavalry, so we need pikemen."

"Pikeman, use it well, it can restrain cavalry."

"In the future, when the gun skills are perfected, you can gradually abandon the pikemen and use all the gunmen."

At the end, Ding Yi looked at everyone: "You all have to remember that this world will change."

"Thousands of years ago, our ancestors used bones and animal bones as weapons."

"Then learn to use stones to make stone axes, stone knives."

"Further, develop to use iron tools."

"Bronze."

"Steel knife."

"Now, there are even more firearms."

"We Han people are infinitely wise, and the development of science and technology is changing with each passing day."

"I conclude that the world will be dominated by cannons and firearms in the future."

Everyone looked solemn, listening carefully and remembering.

Ruan Wenyan looked adoring.

Soon everyone returned to the fort, closed the gate of the fort, dug out the Franco cannon, and carried it to the ship. The cannon was easy to dig out, but it was quite laborious to carry.

Everyone managed to get it up, and it was almost night.

At the moment, Ding Yi decided to spend the night on the boat on the shore, and then set sail the next day.

Now in September, the weather is hot. After eating, many people jump directly into the sea to swim and bathe.

Ding Yi stood at the bow of the boat, watching everyone play and laugh in the water, and also eager to try.

But he also quickly discovered that a small half of the people hadn't entered the water, and he didn't know until he asked.

"After returning to Lushun, arrange sea training for the whole army. Everyone must learn to swim." Ding Yi immediately said to Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan wrote it down immediately.

Wei Jiye had a black line on his face: "I want to learn too?"

"You don't have to learn, go to the bureau." Ding Yi said solemnly.

"No, I'll follow your lord." Wei Jiye immediately shook his head.

Zhao Dashan and others laughed.

Sudden.

Plop, there was a loud noise at the stern, and the Ming army at the bow suddenly booed.

'Wow hoo' everyone was very excited, some wanted to swim back.

When Zhao Dashan saw it, his face turned green, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone go over there, don't go there."

"Hey." Everyone laughed, but they didn't dare to come over.

Zhao Dashan turned his head and found that Ding Yi was smiling, not angry, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Ruan Wenyan, who jumped into the sea from the stern.

Although the soldiers knew that Ruan Wenyan might be the adult's woman, they couldn't help booing when they saw the beautiful woman jumping into the sea.

"My lord." Zhao Dashan said in a buzzing voice at this moment: "The weather is hot and muggy, you should take a bath too."

Wei Jiye nodded quickly.

The simple and honest Wang Weizhong has a dull expression on his face. My lord is taking a bath, what do you want me to do?

Ding Yi stood still and thought for a while, then said solemnly: "I'm sweating all over, I'm going to take a bath too."

"Okay." Zhao Dashan grinned.

He turned to the bow of the boat and pointed his head in the direction of Xu Dabao: "Brothers are all lined up, I will give the order."

"Whoever swims to Xu Dabao first will get two silver rewards—one tael."

"Wow!" Ming soldiers shouted excitedly and began to line up.

Wei Jiye turned around and greeted: "Come, come and see, who will win." He also called the people on the boat to the bow.

Wang Weizhong disturbed his head, what's there to see, I went back to the boat.

Ba, was grabbed by Wei Jiye: "Don't leave, Lao Wang, right here."

"..." Wang Weizhong.

That night Ruan Wenyan moved into Ding Yi's bedroom, Ruan Siqing knew and was overjoyed.

In the early morning of the second day, the fleet continued to set off for Dengzhou.

On the way, Ding Yi also asked the gunners to try firing a cannon, and found that the Fran cannon had no technical content, and it was not easy to hit the target at a long distance.

It is estimated that when the two ships meet, the hit rate will be higher.

At present, his firearms development has some basics, but artillery talents are still scarce.

He asked Li Zhongyi, and Li Zhongyi only cared about making guns, but he couldn't make cannons at all.

Others travel through time, just find a craftsman who can make guns and cast cannons, why is it so hard for me to find?

Think about it too, how many years did the Hou Jin and the Ming army fight, and finally it was four years in Chongzhen, that is, two years later, that the craftsman Liu Han captured in Shenyang was used to successfully imitate the Western cannon.

Later, they also invented the lost wax method, using cast steel instead of cast iron, making the craft of casting cannons surpass the Ming Dynasty.

After so many years of research, craftsmen all over the country in the late Jin Dynasty were able to cast cannons after two years.

Ding Yi really can't do anything in a short time.

Because Lushun Phi Island does not have such talents.

There will be one in Dengzhou in the future. It is the Portuguese recruited by Sun Yuanhua after he took office. This is why Ding Yi wants Lu Chao to stay in Dengzhou.

But Sun Yuanhua has not taken office yet.

Ding Yi thought, this trip has to go farther, Zhejiang and Songjiang have to go.

Also go to Fujian.

Because of the unfavorable wind, the fleet did not arrive in Dengzhou until around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Ding Yi's fleet now often comes to Dengzhou, and the local officials are relatively familiar, and they still have money, but no one cares about them.

Ding Yi disembarked first, took Ruan Wenyan, 4 soldiers (all in plain clothes), and the rest, led by Zhao Dashan, unloaded the cargo. Except for the salt, most of the cargo was sent to Qin Nan.

The salt affairs control of the Ming Dynasty followed the system of the Yuan Dynasty. In Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Shandong and other places, salt transfer divisions were set up, and in Sichuan, Guangdong and other places, salt department promotion divisions were set up.

There were originally two branches in Shandong, Jiaolai and Binle.

In the Age of Apocalypse, the Ming Empire suffered internal and external troubles, and its military supplies increased greatly, and the Dengwen Branch was added to Shandong.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, local agencies were in charge of the local salt affairs. Only after Yingzong, the salt law deteriorated day by day, and the court began to send senior officials such as Shilang and Du Yushi to supervise and rectify the salt affairs in various places. They were called Xunyan. Ministry.

However, the salt industry has huge profits, and the production and sales links are controlled by one organization. Soon, the national salt industry became more and more corrupt.

It is useless to go on patrolling the salt censor, and he was still bought. For example, Xu Jinfang, the Lianghuai salt censor in the Wanli period, embezzled more than 44000 taels of ink in a year.

Since the apocalypse, the imperial courts have concentrated in the Lianghuai and Liangzhe areas, because the salt departments in these places accounted for most of the Mingyan salt revenue. On the Shandong side, there are very few patrolling salt censors.
