Win the Ding 1617

"Shaoning is very careful in doing things!"

The next day, under the autumn sunshine, in the courtyard of Yuexiu Building, Zheng Zhilong, Shi Lang, Zheng Sen, Wu Liuqi, Chen Tianhua and others sat around Li Shouhan, sipping tea while staring intently at the group of people in the courtyard. clown.

With graceful lines, well-proportioned body, smooth skin, seductive light shining in the sun, if it wasn't in front of Li Shouhan, I'm afraid these guys would rush forward to grab a ride.

(The editor rushed out: "Stop! Stop! You bastard, you are always talking about it and slandering others. It's all about whether you have any actual basis and no key words. But you actually wrote With such a sensitive plot, I don’t know that we are now cracking down on pornography? Strictly crack down!? Are you planning to smash my job!?” Wrong! What I wrote is not a prohibited plot!)

With the sound of hooves, dozens of grooms were leading the carefully selected stallions and mares that were sent by merchants from all over the country as necessities for customs clearance, for the lord to look at.

These people present are all people who have fought on the battlefield and know the importance of horses to the army.In their eyes, these steeds are much more attractive than beauties of all skin colors from all over the world.

Those who came to Yuexiu Tower today were all the generals who led the troops of the Southern Cantonese Army's land and water armies.The highest official position is Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the Navy.However, his attention was also on the horses in the courtyard.

Li Shouhan was annoyed by everyone's actions and performances like this.He coughed and signaled everyone that it's okay!Stop staring at those horses!

"Look at this. This is the list of gifts that Ye Shaoning handed in. As for who gave it to him, don't inquire further."

Everyone abruptly pulled their eyes away from the horses and began to circulate the long list of gifts.

Everyone can probably guess Li Shouhan's purpose, and hit everyone.Don't think that I'm sick these days and my energy is a little low, so you will give me a little bit of complacency.Did you see that the spy chiefs promoted by Lao Tzu are so disciplined that they dare not take a piece of money or accept something without authorization.You all behave well to me!

"Look, what should we do with the property that Ye Shaoning handed over? In-laws. Tell me."

"My lord, this subordinate is a bit dull, but he was so moved by General Ye's loyalty and integrity that he didn't have any ideas at the moment. It's better to ask Shi Lang."

Zheng Zhilong kicked the ball with a beautiful long pass, and it reached the feet of the popular fried chicken Shi Lang.Who made you the son-in-law of the lord!Whatever you say at this time, he won't embarrass you.

With a smile in his eyes, Shi Lang cupped his fists towards Zheng Zhilong.It's a salute of thanks.But there is also a burst of pride in my heart.Thank you for giving me this opportunity to form a good relationship with Ye Qi.

"Father Commander. In Shi Lang's foolish opinion, if we follow the common people's way of dealing with such things, we will just reward General Ye with these properties. However, considering Father Commander's cleverness and Ye Qizhi's ancient style, this kind of behavior The method is a bit of a villain's heart."

"You sycophant!" Zheng Sen scolded his brother-in-law in his heart, but he seemed unable to say anything else.

"You kid. Sure enough, the knife-cut tofu has two sides." Li Shouhan also laughed and teased Shi Lang, which was a reply to his words. "Go on. If it were you, what should you do with it? It is worthy of our identities, characters, and methods."

"Simple. The subordinates will pick out a few of these belongings that are not important and give them to General Ye as a commemoration of this matter. It also allows General Ye to remind himself from time to time. For the rest, you may wish to use the name of General Ye . Donated to schools across Nanzhong.”

The so-called more than three generations are afraid of bad reputation.A scholar like Ye Qi has no shortage of money in his family, and his pursuit of fame surpasses others.

In a few words, they found a place for Ye Qi to hand over these belongings.Those schools in Nanzhong, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Siam, which are beginning to emigrate.University where Galileo et al. taught, Maple Ridge Laboratory.As well as several experimental factories in Hejing, they all have a huge amount of property.It is used to purchase stationery for students, improve living conditions, and conduct some scientific research. You can apply for funds from here.As long as you're not trying to figure out how to make gold out of water.

As for the Hanoverian horses from the German region, the British horses brought from their hometown by the English with great effort, and a dozen or so authentic Arabian horses, they were almost furious in the eyes of everyone. In the village, he was taken away by the head shepherd and was going to be sent to Tamna Island and Fulang Mountain for breeding and reproduction. He only left a big and round picture cake for everyone: "When these horses give birth to ponies, you There's something for everyone!"

"The matter of the Central Plains, I have thought about it carefully. It is temporarily out of reach. And after going north, I found that there are many difficulties. Simply use the rare leisure time after the war, our Southern Guangdong Army is good at training and training troops. The purpose of calling you people in Guangdong today is to find out the difficulties and problems found during the trip to the north, to find the crux of the problem, to solve these problems, and to contribute to the court in the future."

What Li Shouhan said was a start for today's high-level seminar.These leading generals glanced at each other, and immediately spoke with each other.

"There is a problem with our cavalry! Our horses are good, but they are too expensive, and the feed almost loses weight or looses up. Many horses died during the Shandong battle!"

"That's right! It's not just about the horses, the rider's riding skills are also a big problem! Fighting in formation will kill the crap, but once you're alone in the pursuit, you'll die so that there's not even a scum left."

"That's right! Our cavalry can fight, but they can't run, and they can't run for days and nights in a row! This time in Shandong and other places to deal with the Liao thief Abatai's thousands of miles away, if the young marshal hadn't made a decisive decision to recruit The courageous pursuit of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, I'm afraid our cavalry will make a big joke!"

"My lord. Our horse is tall and has fast legs. It can beat the Liao thief's war horse in a short sprint. However, this tall horse has far less stamina than the Liao thief's short Mongolian horse, and it is also extremely difficult to serve. Dragon Tiger The horses in the camp can just be given some food, but our horses must at least have corngrass and eggs, and a daily salt supply. Maybe we need to add some millet bone meal or something, otherwise the weight loss will be light. The same The feed was given to the war horses of the Longhu Camp, and the horses ran fast as if they had taken an aphrodisiac. But our war horses are weak and listless."

Cavalry training problems, horse problems.As far as the Southern Guangdong Army is concerned, it is a congenital weakness. However, due to the influence of geographical environment and other factors, the cavalry of the southern army has always been unable to fight head-on against the cavalry of the northern, especially nomadic, fishing and hunting peoples.After more than ten years of painstaking efforts, the cavalry of the Southern Guangdong Army has barely reached the point where they are strong on the outside and capable on the inside.If the enemy had discovered the key points, then the joke of the Nanyue Army would become a big joke.

After Li Huayu fought against Abatai in Shandong, the officers finished talking about the problems of the cavalry, and then it was the turn of the people led by Shi Lang, Mo Yu and others to follow Li Huamei to fight against Tashan.

Where their nightmares lie.It is how the infantry in the era of queuing up and shooting to deal with the enemy with strict field fortifications.

"Our soldiers fought bravely, but the Liao thieves had too many trenches, and the artillery positions were densely packed. We wanted to fight the Liao thieves one by one. Fortunately, it was only in the corner of Tashan, and it was winter, and the weather was cold. It is very cold, and it is not easy to dig the earth. Sure enough, it is summer and autumn to fight, I am afraid that we have not taken down one trench. The Liao thieves have already dug four or five trenches in the depth and flanks."

"Although our rockets burned powerfully, they couldn't wipe out all the Liao thieves. The Liao thieves hid in places where the rockets could not be shot. When our rockets and artillery were fired and the infantry brothers charged up, they would use firecrackers and strong bows The hard crossbow was fired in the trench! It took a huge advantage! After our firecracker was fired once, we had to retreat to reload, and let the brothers in the back row come up. One advance and one retreat. Naturally, the formation is prone to confusion. Moreover, when loading, you must stand in place to complete the entire set of ammunition loading actions. However, the firecrackers of the Liao bandits took a huge advantage. They hid in trenches and fired firecrackers behind the parapet, and were naturally exposed to artillery fire. The chances of the bullets falling are much smaller. And they are behind the trench fortifications, and someone can load them with ammunition. In this way, the firepower can be continuous. If it is the same in the field, it will not take two With a round of volleys, our team will be able to charge with bayonets and defeat this group of Tartars!"

Although the officers of the Guards Brigade and the Navy and Land Battalion were chattering and chattering, they all revealed one meaning, that is, the disconnection between weapons and tactics!

Fight with what weapons.This is not nonsense.

The southern Guangdong army used black and gunpowder as the main power and lethal front-mounted smoothbore weapons. When they met the Liao thieves who also had similar weapons and relied on solid field fortifications, they failed.This is undoubtedly a signal to the Southern Guangdong Army.Relying on these weapons, strict discipline, cruel training, and good material treatment in the past, the Southern Guangdong Army was invincible, but now it has hit a hard wall.

Although the Liao thieves were beaten terribly, but if the purpose of the battle was not achieved, it could only be ruled as a failure.What's more terrible is, who knows if the Liao thieves will quickly learn from this battle of Tashan, and use the same methods and tactics to deal with the attack of the Southern Guangdong Army in the future?

If this is the case, then for the Southern Guangdong Army, a major adjustment must be made from weapons to tactics!

Weapons determine tactics.In order to ensure the continuity and density of firepower, the army using front-mounted smoothbore weapons can only play in line and shoot.On the contrary, the army equipped with automatic firearms relied on trench fortifications with barbed wire and rapid-fire guns, but encountered tanks, the natural enemy of barbed wire, trenches and machine guns.

Now, how to crack the trench warfare of the Liao thieves on the future battlefield, and make corresponding changes in weapons and tactics, this historical responsibility quietly fell on the shoulders of everyone present.

"Our grenade is a good thing! It can be equipped in large quantities in the future!"

"Mortar! If the mortar can be lighter and easier, it can also rush up with the infantry brothers!"

"If our firecrackers can be reloaded quickly like the Frang machine, the brothers can lie on the ground to load and shoot, and the casualties will be much smaller! Whether it is the trenches or trenches of the Liao thieves, it will not be a problem!"

In the corner, an officer of the navy and land battalion weakly voiced his opinion.He was also an old man in the Hejing period, but the surname of the one who managed to survive was He, although he had no close relatives with He Fuqianhu.Everyone respects ghosts and gods and stays away.He is also aware of his own situation, so over the years, he is bound to take the lead in every battle, but he imitates Feng Yi and plays the role of General Dashu when he receives awards for his achievements.The generals in the army didn't pay much attention to him, after more than ten years.After all the hard work and qualifications and achievements, he can be regarded as promoted to the position of battalion officer in the navy and land battalion.

Unexpectedly, today, he came up with such a whimsical idea.

However, such an idea would undoubtedly be scoffed at by everyone.

"Old He, what are you kidding, making the firecracker like a Frangji? Brothers carrying a Frangji to fight? Can they still run?"

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, He Yingguan's face turned red and white, and finally turned red like blood.The whole person seemed to be drunk.

"Old He, come to me. I can't hear you clearly. Tell me about your plan." Li Shouhan's casual words made the whole courtyard quiet.

He Yingguan was also excited and a little at a loss. For many years, he had never been in close contact with this person who had the power to kill tens of millions of people, seize the rich and the poor, and could only look at him from a distance every time.Barely able to see the facial features of the lord, this tea party.If it wasn't for all the battalion and above officers in Guangzhou to participate, I'm afraid such an opportunity would be extremely rare for him.

"Tell me about your plan. If it works, then I will reward you heavily. If it doesn't work, then the speaker is innocent." First reassuring the battalion officer surnamed He in front of him, Li Shouhan planned to take this person's The value is all squeezed out.He knew very well that the best thing to do against trench warfare was a chariot.but.That is undoubtedly whimsical.At present, even the rear-mounted weapons have not been resolved, how to talk about tanks?

However, this idea of ​​He Yingguan just provided an idea for Li Shouhan who was struggling with how to change the front-loading gun into a rear-loading gun to complete the transformation of this historical stage.Moreover, it seems quite feasible.

In his impression, to deal with the enemy's field fortifications, all kinds of tactical actions that need to be made, such as crawling forward, leaping forward, using terrain and features to advance, etc., all require a breech-loading gun as the basis of the weapon.If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the changes in the basic tactical actions of the armies of various countries (of course, the armed forces of African black uncles are not included in this range.) since the single-shot bolt-action rifle was installed in the army.

However, after listening to He Yingguan stammering his thoughts with excitement, Li Shouhan had to admit that this guy's idea is really good!

but!So ahead of its time!

Inspired by Francier's sub-guns, he planned to change the loading method of the guns. The original fixed-loaded cartridges were loaded from the mouth of the guns, and they were made into metal gun barrels, which were loaded from the rear.

"My lord, you can think about it. The gunners of the Folang machine of our Southern Guangdong Army have a fast reloading speed. They can reload and shoot three rounds in about one minute. This is still taking into account the heating of the gun barrel. If you don't care about the heating of the gun body, My subordinates see, at least five rounds can be fired! Just imagine, if the gunfire soldiers have such a rate of fire, may I ask, is there any army in the world that can withstand such a blow?"

And this kind of firecracker has another advantage, that is, Li Shouhan can redesign a set of tactical actions for the Southern Guangdong Army.

However, the current technical level and processing technology are far from reaching it!

He Yingguan didn't know if he had read the Artifact Illustration compiled by Zhao Shizhen, but his idea coincided with Zhao Shizhen's.Moreover, Zhao Shizhen also made several sample guns.Although it is said that there are already electric guns, and, in the form of rear mounted sub-guns, there are 6 sub-guns.The main feature of this firecracker is that it has improved the ignition device, and changed the matchlock ignition method to flint ignition.Flint is clamped on the hammer, and the tap of the trigger is pressed down. Due to the action of the spring, it rubs against the flint and ignites.This not only overcomes the difficulties caused by wind and rain to shooting, but also does not need to press the faucet by hand, the shooting accuracy is more accurate, and it can be fired at any time under various circumstances.And a retaining ring is added below.The sub-guns are preloaded and loaded into the barrel in turn to fire, which can speed up the shooting speed.It is a percussion-type flintlock gun, and its structure and performance are not much different from the Lumi blunderbuss manufactured in large quantities by the Ming army.

Um?etc!Li Shouhan suddenly thought of this. Since Zhao Shizhen can make this thing, I might as well try to make a few of them, so that the army and the technicians from Fengshuling Laboratory and Hejing several factories can fight together. The problems that occurred during the actual operation of this firecracker were solved one by one.After it is completely solved, or it can be tolerated, a small amount of troops will be equipped, and after being tested in actual combat, the whole army will be deployed!

The springs, flints, hammers, faucets, retainers, etc. needed to make the breech guns are not new technologies and items in the production and use of the guns in the Nanyue Army. They just need to be reworked. Assemble and upgrade.

"Old He, what you said today, after you go back, take the time to write and post it, and hand it over to the office. I will arrange for you to handle this matter. If it is done well, you will be the whole army of the Southern Guangdong Army He is a great hero, even if it is difficult to do it as expected for a while, it’s okay, just try it out boldly!” (To be continued..)
