Chapter 479 Rewards
This morning, what happened was completely as expected.

Although the emperor set up a salt merchant and changed the salt class, it was expected. However, a memorial to the king of Shanxi to return the nest book caused a lot of sensation. Everyone did not expect that even though the dust had settled, the emperor would Still so comprehensive, without the slightest possibility of making people turn around, everything will be done "reasonably", everything will be done according to the trend, and everything will take up the reason.

"As expected, I am a descendant of the Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty. He is so angry at the shamelessness of the salt merchants, ashamed of sharing the salt quotations with the salt merchants, and ashamed of taking advantage of the salt quotations for profit. The loyalty of the king is really commendable!" Yang Reform said with emotion. road.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, whether it was the imperial party or the "Donglin Party" who had surrendered, they would immediately flatter him, and besides the emperor, he would also praise the king by the way.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Yang Reform suppressed his hand.The sycophancy activities of the ministers have just ended.

"Dai Wang is so aware of the general situation and understands the righteousness. He is ashamed to hold the salt and offer the salt. The king is at a disadvantage..." Yang Reform took advantage of the situation and accepted it, of course, there is something else to say.

"...how much salt did the king offer in total?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, on behalf of the king, a total of [-] salts were offered." The Minister of Rites said.

"Three thousand quotations!?" Yang Reform asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, yes." The Minister of Rites said.

"Oh..." Yang Reform let out a long sigh, and continued: "Let's do this, the Dai Wang understands the righteousness, and I can't let the Dai Wang suffer. In this way, in order to praise the Dai Wang, reward the Dai Wang Liulizhai stock, fifty share."

As soon as the emperor said this, he immediately made the courtiers fry.

Fifty shares?What kind of concept is this!Now the stock of Liulizhai is 2000 taels. Your reward is fifty shares. How much is it? 10 taels?My God, the emperor is indeed a generous person.

Faced with the comments of the ministers, Yang Reform smiled. This is a thousand dollars to buy horse bones. If others follow him to do things, if he doesn't give him any benefits, who will follow him? Well, the first person to eat crabs will always have unexpected gains. As for the later, that's another story.

Faced with the emperor's "majestic and majestic" reward, many officials felt that their legs were weak, and the emperor was too generous, so that stocks appeared in the court in a majestic way, and no one pursued them too much.

"Your Majesty, isn't it too much?" A minister said with limp hands and feet.That's 10 taels of silver!Don't just throw it away with a single word!How long will we have to be greedy for ink, and how much effort will we spend?

"Oh, not much. The Dai Wang understands the righteousness so well and supports me in running a salt merchant. I can't help but express it. Isn't it chilling the heart of the Dai Wang? Chilling the hearts of the people in the world?" Yang Reform said with a smile.

Today, the number of rewards from the emperor is too shocking, so that something that should not appear in the court - stocks, also appeared in a grand manner. Although some ministers feel strange, they are afraid of the authority of the emperor and are shocked by the number of rewards. And "forget".

"Your Majesty is wise." The officials couldn't hold back the emperor, so they could only allow the emperor to reward him with huge wealth.Looking at the officials, Yang Reform still smiled confidently. He had achieved quite a few goals today, not to mention running a salt merchant with Xu Guangqi's name, but it also paved the way for the salt class. Inadvertently put the word stock on the court and said, after the first time, it is not difficult to talk about stocks in the future. This stock is a great catalyst for historical changes...

……

It was like this in the early morning, and it was scattered amidst praises.

"Big companion, please come over, Master Sun." Yang Reform said to Wang Chengen.

"Obey, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed, and immediately ordered someone to chase after Sun Chengzong.

Not long after, Sun Chengzong arrived.

"I see Your Majesty." Sun Chengzong saluted.

"No need to be too polite, how are you preparing for the bayonet phalanx?" Yang Reform asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been practiced for some days." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Oh, what's the effect? ​​I plan to practice in front of several generals today, and it will be closed in recent years. This front line must have a chief officer." Yang Reform asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this formation has been practiced proficiently, and there will be no mistakes." Sun Chengzong agreed.

"Well, that's good... my companion, go and invite Liu Yanyuan, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Qin Liangyu, Zhao Lengjiao... let's go, Master Sun, let's go to the school too..." Yang Reform first agreed, and then Said to Wang Chengen, and finally told Sun Chengzong.

……

In the school grounds.

Yang Reform had already arrived, and not long after, all the people summoned by Yang Reform also arrived.

After everyone had seen the ceremony and sat down, Yang Reform said with a smile: "I've been busy for the past few days, and I'm free today. Let me show you the power of this bayonet phalanx. Master Sun, let's start..."

"I obey the order..." Sun Chengzong agreed.

"Master Sun will be responsible for explaining the drill process. If there is anything you don't understand, Master Sun will be responsible for explaining. If you have any questions, you must ask!" Yang Reform said with a smile, the hollow bayonet phalanx has been released , and there are relatively mature patients, coupled with reasonable tactics, weapons, and the day of a decisive battle with wild boar skins is not far away. To be honest, Yang Reform would rather kill all wild boar skins on the battlefield, which is more straightforward Instead of trying so hard to intrigue with the ministers internally, it is really tiring. Although he has won the glory, only he knows the suffering he can endure.

"I will obey the order." Several people replied one after another. They spent a lot of time thinking about the bayonet phalanx made by the emperor when they went back, but because they couldn't leak the news, they could only hide in the house and study it secretly. Therefore, There are still many doubts.

After a while, a group of infantry came out from the school grounds. They were wearing ordinary equipment, without armor, shields and the like, but there were some differences in the muskets. The muskets were all equipped with gleaming bayonets.

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor and began to explain himself.

"...This phalanx is different from the military formations of the former Song Dynasty. It is hollow. It is called a hollow bayonet phalanx. The number of people can be more or less, as few as one or two hundred, as many as one or two thousand. Yes, it depends on the situation and needs..." Sun Chengzong explained.

The people off the field began to form teams and gather.

"...to form the smallest hollow bayonet phalanx generally requires 120 soldiers, ten soldiers in each row, three rows on each side, a total of 120 soldiers, and a total of [-] soldiers on four sides. In addition, There are also team leaders, school captains, flag drummers, secretary offices, cooks, etc..." Sun Chengzong continued to explain.

With that said, Sun Chengzong signaled to the captain to raise the flag.

Following the flag waved by the school captain, changes began to appear on the school field.

The team infantry on the school field quickly lined up, and according to what Sun Chengzong said, they formed three rows, and the square formation on all sides was of course hollow.

In the distance of this phalanx, a group of cavalry also appeared.

"...Let's take a look at the effect of the cavalry's attack on this small phalanx." Sun Chengzong said.

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, the cavalry team was already ready and ready to charge.The team of infantry was already ready.

Suddenly, the cavalry began to charge.

The heavy horse's hooves stomped on the ground, making a dull sound.

"...The cavalry attacking this phalanx is nothing more than gathering at one point, continuing to attack, or encircling from all sides, constantly harassing, and attacking its flanks. Please see, now, there are more than a hundred infantry defending, and there are also a hundred cavalry. Yu Qi, the strength of the two sides is almost the same..." Sun Chengzong continued.

When Sun Chengzong said this, everyone was surprised. One hundred infantry against one hundred cavalry, if it is in the city or in the mountains, it is still possible in the woods, but if it is on the flat ground or grassland, it is basically impossible to win.

The pair of cavalry rushed towards the bayonet phalanx very quickly, and when they reached the bayonet phalanx, the infantry began to fire. Of course, no cavalry fell down as soon as there was smoke, but the few cavalry who ran in front left and opened fire. After that, the cavalry didn't hit the bayonet phalanx directly as in the actual battle, but turned around the phalanx instead.

"...If the Donglu cavalry is still the same as before, and likes to circle around the infantry's position in an encircling posture, shooting arrows to injure the infantry, hoping that the infantry's formation will show holes, or seek the infantry's flanks, then the Donglu cavalry is really There is a huge price to be paid. Although this phalanx is small, it has almost the same three rows on all sides. There are no obvious flanks, but there are more than a hundred muskets. If you fire at one time, even if only [-]% of the hits, the Donglu It's extremely hard to bear, after several shots, it's hard to say whether Donglu will have the courage to charge..." Sun Chengzong continued.

The crowd nodded.

"...If this happens, with the same strength, the infantry will win. Of course, it is quite difficult for the infantry to chase the cavalry, and the win is limited... Of course, if the eastern captives directly attack a little bit, the situation will be different. Different..." Sun Chengzong said.

Faced with this situation, everyone nodded, especially Qin Liangyu, who felt the most. His biggest weakness is that he does not have enough means of killing and can only defend passively. He does not have muskets to shoot, even if the enemy is tired. She couldn't fight anymore, and she didn't have any cavalry to pursue her. She was quite distressed when she started fighting, especially when dealing with Donglu, she often felt that she was weak and had no place to use it. The muskets were rationed, and just this one, she also felt that, with this, she dared to say that Donglu would not dare to come to her camp.

"...If the cavalry of the Eastern Cavalry directly charged into the phalanx, the phalanx would not be able to do much other than relying on strict discipline to resist. With the same force, especially with such a small-scale force, it is almost impossible Win..." Sun Chengzong was very frank, a small phalanx was used to deal with the same number of Eastern cavalry, and it was really difficult to win.

"...However, the phalanx is not without the ability to protect itself. If the enemy fires first, they can kill the Eastern cavalry first. This is an advantage. A single shot will also kill several Eastern cavalry. Basically The few cavalrymen rushing to the front will definitely die, which will be a considerable blow to morale..." Sun Chengzong explained.

Sun Chengzong explained the advantages and disadvantages of the phalanx to several generals, but Yang Reform was absent-minded, except for occasionally listening to a few of Sun Chengzong's explanations with his ears, more thoughts were still in the salt class, and more things after that , thoughts, already flying all over the sky.
