Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

When talking about the traitors who colluded with Japanese people and the traitors who collaborated with foreign enemies, Shen Boyi became a little emotional.Seeing Gu Yunji looking at him, he realized that he had lost his composure, took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and put on a gentle expression again:
"I didn't hold back my emotions for a moment, did you scare Mr. Gu? Mainly, I was born on the southeast coast. When I was a child, I saw with my own eyes how the Japanese pirates killed my fellow villagers. I was so angry that I couldn't stand it. After that, I joined the army, participated in the military examination, and became a military attache. "

It turns out that this is the case. No wonder Shen Baiyi harbors such deep hatred for the Japanese pirates.

Gu Yunji was educated in history and nationality in his previous life, and he also felt deep hatred for the Japanese people in his heart. He felt the same for Shen Baiyi, so naturally he would not mind his "gaffe", but felt closer to him.

He said sincerely: "My lord feels the same way as I do. I only hate that I am a scholar and do not have the courage to write and join the army. I cannot go into battle to kill the enemy myself. Master Shen has had this ambition since he was a child, and I admire him."

Shen Baiyi felt relieved when he heard this, and he felt the joy of finding himself in his heart, and his smile became more genuine: "To be honest, I came to Zhejiang this time to completely eliminate the Japanese pirates and restore peace to the coast. This is what His Majesty has given me. The mission is Shen’s lifelong ambition.”

"The reason why I chose Shaoxing Prefecture to be stationed is not only based on geographical, military and other factors, but also because of Mr. Gu. I have known a little about Mr. Gu before, and I know that you are diligent in official duties and dedicated to the people. Good officer. I think if I cooperate with you, the Japanese pirates will be suppressed more smoothly."

When the two met for the first time, Shen Boyi said such half-hearted words, which was a bit premature.

If Gu Yunji is a hypocrite who does one thing in front of his face and another behind his back, smiling brightly at Shen Baiyi but stabbing him behind his back, then Shen Baiyi's move is tantamount to pushing himself into the abyss.

Gu Yunji wondered in his heart: Does Shen Boyi trust himself too much?Does he have an ulterior motive, or is he just out of his mind?
Thinking of Mei Feng's instructions not to get too involved with the military attache, Gu Yunji carefully considered his words and said with caution: "Sir Shen, you are serious. As a civil servant, although he is not involved in military affairs, he is still the prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture. Let's let him It is also my wish that the people live a good life."

"If Mr. Shen needs it in the future, I will do my best if it is within my ability."

This was Gu Yunji's polite words, but Shen Boyi seemed to take it seriously, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Just right, I have something I want to ask Mr. Gu for help in detail."

With that said, Shen Baiyi picked up a piece of paper from the table next to him and handed it to Gu Yunji.

Gu Yunji took it and took a look and found that it was a drawing with many little people holding weapons drawn on it, like soldiers training.However, the picture was a bit abstract. Gu Yunji looked confused and wondered: "What is this?"

Shen Boyi said: "This is the soldier formation I developed specifically to deal with Japanese pirates, called the Five Elements Formation. Japanese pirates usually move around in small groups, with teams of dozens of people invading everywhere. Often, as soon as troops are sent over, they have already fled to the next place. , the traces are hard to find and very random.”

"Moreover, they have strong individual combat capabilities. Not only have they been wandering at sea all year round, but they are also familiar with various complex terrains. Most of our garrison soldiers are from farmers, and their individual quality is not high. Even if we collide head-on, unless we have the advantage in numbers, Otherwise, there is no guarantee of victory.”

"And the formation I developed is specifically designed to control Japanese pirates and achieve the goal of defeating more with less."

With that said, Shen Baiyi pointed to the drawing and introduced it to Gu Yunji: "This formation consists of five people. The front is the shield soldier, which blocks the frontal attack of the Japanese pirates and also serves as a cover. The soldiers at the back hold Chang Ge to fight against the Japanese. A samurai short sword that is good at cutting." "The next two soldiers hold long spears, wait for the people in front to block or block the Japanese pirates, and then thrust forward to give the enemy a fatal blow. The last soldier holds a boring palladium, which plays a role of support and protection. , to prevent Japanese pirates from going around behind to attack."

"With these five people cooperating with each other, they can attack, defend, advance or retreat. What do you think, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yunji didn't know why when he first got the drawings. After Shen Boyi's explanation, he understood - wasn't this the key formation used to resist Japanese pirates in his previous life?

The two generations may have different people and events, and the situation may also have changed, but the general development of history is always the same.The successful defense against Japanese pirates in previous lives was indispensable to the efforts of various national generals, but the role played by the anti-Japanese formation was equally crucial.

Gu Yunji only roughly remembered such a formation and had no in-depth understanding of its specific arrangements.Shen Boyi's formation looked good, but Gu Yunji probably felt that something was missing after hearing it.

"In my opinion, this formation is very good. But if it is here..." He thought carefully and pointed to a certain position on the drawing, "that is, add an artillery soldier to the pikemen and boring soldiers, Wouldn’t it be better to shoot at the Japanese pirates from a distance?”

After saying that, Gu Yunji added: "Of course, it may not be at this position. It may be a little ahead or a little later. Anyway, we need to add an artillery soldier."

In this era, firearms manufacturing technology was already very advanced and began to be widely used in military applications. The imperial court's artillery manufacturing was at the forefront of the entire world.Gu Yunji only vaguely remembered the existence of artillery in the anti-Japanese formation, but he was not sure where it was located.

After hearing what he said, Shen Boyi's eyes lit up and he took the drawing and looked at it carefully: "...Hmm - yes, it is indeed better to add artillery troops! Artillery troops can fight from a distance, not only to eliminate some Japanese pirates in advance and reduce the pressure on the rear, but also It can disrupt the enemy's position and gain the initiative for us."

Seeing Shen Boyi's focused look immersed in thinking, Gu Yunji smiled and reminded: "Master Shen can also consider dismantling and merging the existing formations to adapt them to more and more complex battlefield situations."

"After all, although this formation is good, it is only suitable for small-group operations. If you encounter an open plain or face Japanese pirates on a large scale, this formation will have very little effect."

"What Mr. Gu said makes sense." The more Shen Baiyi listened, the more he felt that it was the right decision to find Gu Yunji today. His eyes flashed with excitement when he looked at him, "I didn't expect that Mr. Gu, a civil servant, was actually quite knowledgeable about military operations. Research."

How could Gu Yunji dare to take credit for the achievements of his predecessors? He nodded and said humbly: "I also made a mistake. If I hadn't seen Master Shen's formation diagram, I wouldn't have thought of this. This is all the inspiration you gave me. I'm just saying it casually, the real actual combat operations and drills still depend on you, sir."

Shen Boyi was full of confidence: "Yes, no matter how good the theory is, it must be applied in practice. This matter should be done sooner rather than later. In two days, I will go to the school field to find soldiers to experiment." (End of Chapter)
