open sea

Chapter 821
In any matter, only those who are in direct contact with the problem can discover the problem, but the person who is in direct contact usually has no means to solve the problem. This is the case with the Nine Sides Problem in the Ming Dynasty.

Ding Hai, who has never been accepted for seven years, is very aware of the problem of the Nine Bian Dunjun, but he knows that he cannot solve it.

This matter has nothing to do with a person's status. Xu Jin, a hundred households in front of him, can't solve it, Lin Hu'er, a thousand households in front of him, can't solve it, commander-in-chief Shao Tingda can't solve it, and Beiyang commander-in-chief Chen Mu can't solve it either.

He doesn't know much, but in that environment, there will always be people who will complain and think properly. Why doesn't the court solve this problem?What is the trend of the court to solve the problem now?

The whole world knows that Ming Dynasty is undergoing changes, and this change is not just clearing up the land, a single whip, passing the examination, and rectifying the administration of officials. If the scope of this change is reduced to the Ministry of War, it will be the most interesting microcosm.

If the military is compared to the arm of the Ming Dynasty, then the fingers began to die after the Tumu Fortress, and it spread to the palm of the Jiajing Dynasty. Various famous doctors tried to treat it, but found that the root cause of the disease was not in the hands, and the necrosis was due to lack of blood circulation. heart.

But the heart can't move the knife, what should I do?
Everyone is trying, which one is better, which one is used.

There is a finger called Liaodong, and it uses a rehabilitation method, which is called Li Chengliang. The process is to train servants and pay generous rewards.

The other finger is called Xuan Da, which makes it a strange fairy art of resurrection from the dead.

The condition of the right hand named Southeast is not good, it is completely necrotic, and there is also a complication called Japanese pirate, so it has to be prosthetic.

Hu Zongxian led the prosthetic medical team and led the excellent doctor Tan Lun to install two prosthetic limbs named Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou was able to protect the southeast, and Qi Jiguang was taken to his left hand to replace the finger named Jizhen. The effect was very good and did not affect his activities, but the finger of Jizhen was still broken. It was only able to move because of the prosthetic Qi Jiguang.

Wearing prosthetic limbs is an expedient measure. People are still trying to find a way to recover. It is hard to get medicine with stable curative effect. No one knows whether Daming can afford the huge medical expenses. There happens to be a project called Kaihai, and the business manager is named Chen Mu, who researched and developed the manipulator, built two models of Nanyang and Beiyang successively, and went to work with all his teeth and claws with his friend's Shanzhai product Xiyang.

Ding Hai stayed in Jizhen for seven years on the nail of this necrotic finger.

"The general wants me to protect the people, but I can't. You see, I only have seven arrows. I'm afraid I'll die before I shoot all the arrows."

Xu Jin was not satisfied with this answer: "You are a border guard, and you know how to shoot arrows?"

This kind of dissatisfaction is actually due to Xu Jin's dissatisfaction with himself. The order given by the military government is that their troops are stationed at the border. fifty miles.

Beiyang junior officers are first-class in terms of training, organization and tactics. They take their banner troops with them and go into battle.

Can they be stationed to protect the people on the long border?To be honest, there is no such thing.

To win the battle, the Hundred Household Department was placed on the west side of the village. When the battle started, he would gather his troops and if he was lucky enough to meet two or three hundred enemy troops and show unparalleled courage, he might be able to defeat the enemy.

But when he gathered his troops to rush to the place where the enemy invaded, the local people would definitely not be able to escape.

If, on the other hand, one hundred households were dispersed to various villages to protect the people at the front line, it would be difficult to gather effectively in a short period of time. A small banner officer leading ten banner troops plus the common people would not be able to stop two or three hundred enemy troops. More than that.

That's why he valued Ding Hai's past nights. If he taught the local people his unique skills of living in northern Xinjiang for so long, he could save his life in the face of the enemy, and his Hundred Households would be able to gather.

Outpost battles are not enough to fight big battles, the army is assembled and the marching speed is slower, enough for the people to flee, and the fear is that small groups of troops will harass them.

When the western army gathers its army, the Ming army's army will be almost assembled.

"To be honest, I can not only shoot arrows, but also weave hair scarves for merchants, dig wild vegetables for my son, and raise horses for commanders."

"To be honest, don't be angry, General. I don't know what Xiyi is, but the method of Nine Sides won't work in Nine Sides, and it won't work anywhere."

Ding Hai calmly raised his hand and wiped it in front of his body: "Mr., can all the military funds allocated by the military government be sent to the village? If it is like Nine Sides, the imperial court will send all kinds of military jackets, bows, arrows, guns, and horses to the local area. Soldiers send silver to the officials in charge of the customs, and if we don’t buy it, we will be exploited, so we can’t keep it.”

"Tch! What do you think my Beiyang army is, a place where filth is hidden?" Xu Jin waved his hand and said, "This matter will definitely not happen in Asia. From the soldiers to the generals in Beiyang, all of them are rewarded with military merits. Look. If you don’t make that little profit, you will be shot dead if you are found out.”

"The defense over there, is it like a fortress that has been dismantled, each guarding a radius of ten miles, or is it like the Qi Clan's Southern Army is building a fortress to intimidate the surrounding hundred miles?"

Xu Jin from a hundred households felt that he was right. What Ding Hai said was a bit interesting. He shook his head and said, "It is my job to wait for the Banner Army to guard the hundred miles. You are naturally like the Dun Army. But tell me first." Tell me, how did Qi's southern army receive the fort?"

Hearing Xu Jin's words, Ding Hai didn't frown, but shook his head slightly and said: "The pier army can't hold it. The pier army in the past is like the people today, scattered everywhere. A small city pier, each defending a few miles or even a dozen miles. One pier and five armies, talking about building trenches outside the pier, is full of troops and only a dozen or so people are brought with them, and they have to be assigned odd jobs by the generals in the pass. There are very few weapons and armor, except that the enemy army is close to being able to light a fire. It is no longer useful, and sometimes the fire is pulled out before it is lit."

"Seven years ago, when I went to the mouth of the Sancha River, there was a small half-ditch. Seven years later, the piers were all demolished. I still haven't repaired the ditch, and dug a dozen pits."

"Qi's army abandoned the piers and built a new fort. Inside the fort, there are piers and watchtowers, and outside there are high walls and deep moats. There are all kinds of traps for horses and pits. The moats are built outside the fort, and the fort is stationed in Baizong. There is a pier two and a half miles away from the moat. , It is also well-built, stationed in the Sixth Army, equipped with five bowl-mouthed and straight-mouthed blunderbusses, one three-eyed blunderbuss, six bows and crossbows, six knives and guns, and fire tools, wood and stones."

Ding Hai didn't see it with his own eyes, he just heard people say that after they were abolished, the Qi's Dun army stationed in Ji Town had such weapons and security: "It's not hard to imagine how powerful it is just by listening to it. Where can the riders pull out the pier for six people? Five big guns can be sent from far and near, and the small pier is only enough for more than ten people to live in layers. There is no door, and the dogs have to climb the ladder along the inclined wall to go out. .”

"But there are cavalry besieging our fortress, and if there are few soldiers, the fortress will be attacked by a hundred troops, and the army will bombard the fortress in unison. What is the situation like?"

Xu Jin looked at Ding Hai softly. After all, there is no corruption in Beiyang. Apart from building barriers, what Ding Hai thinks is lacking is firearms?Who are you talking about firearms here?Do you know what my handsome guy does?
Will I be without your lighter in the future?

Straight mouth, bowl mouth?
Our Beiyang Army has never seen the model of that grandpa!
"We don't have the fortress of Qi Junbaizong, two general flags, behind you to hold the line, fifty miles, don't need 25 piers, ten villages, ten piers, we don't have three-eyed guns and bowl-mouthed big guns, As far as the ordnance you bring is at least a hundred blunderbusses and thirty bows and crossbows."

"You tie up the villages and stockades, and I will go to Qianhu to ask for firearms, small flag arrows? Palm thunder? Tiger crouching cannon?"

"If Master Qianhu gritted his teeth, he would probably be able to approve it!"

Xu Jin took a step forward: "Deputy Lieutenant, Fifty Li, Dun Jun, can you defend?"

Ding Hai was a little dazed by the blow. He didn't know what the weapons Xu Jin was talking about, and he had never heard of them, let alone met them. There are hundreds of blunderbusses, and he thought that only his village had a lot of blunderbusses.

He felt that if the young and strong among the common people practiced a bit, and the enemy was not a captive cavalry, what's the point of guarding it, let's fight it out!
