The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 67
Getting along with Ding Yi these days, everyone knows that Ding Yi is quite scary when he is majestic.

Especially a few confidantes, seeing Ding Yi respectful in front of Xu Yuan, felt even more fearful.

When he really wants to turn his face and cut off your head, Mr. Na Ding won't even blink his eyes.

Zhou Yong and others are examples.

"My lord." Finally, a young man raised his hand first and stood up.

"General Banner Wang Weizhong, haha, I remember you, so just sit down and talk."

It turned out that it was Wang Weizhong from the Firearms Battalion.

On the same day when the Houjin soldiers attacked the gunners on the pier, Wang Weizhong, the chief of the armor, designed to blow them up with gunpowder, and made a contribution to raise the general flag.

Wang Weizhong didn't expect Ding Yi to recognize him. He was excited and stammered: "My lord was on the city wall that day, and he ordered to fire a few shots before withdrawing."

"Those guns—all left on the walls."

"I was a little -- scared."

"If the Tartars have gunners, they just need to turn the muzzle on the city wall and shoot at our piers, and all our musketeers will be killed."

After he finished speaking, his face flushed, afraid that what he said would make Ding Yi dissatisfied.

The audience suddenly fell silent.

It was Ding Yi who said that most of the cannons were left in the city, and it was also Ding Yi who said that they left after the fight. What Wang Weizhong said meant that Ding Yi made a mistake in command?
Damn it, Wang Weizhong, you are looking for death, you dare to talk nonsense, Wei Jiye was furious, and was about to curse.

"Bah..." Ding Yi slapped his thigh heavily, imitating their tone: "Damn it, it's really dangerous, Wang Weizhong, you're right."

The audience was in an uproar, and no one expected that Ding Yi would admit that he was wrong.

Thinking about it now, Ding Yi found that Wang Weizhong was right. He was a little flustered at the time. The Tartars did not expect this. If the clever Tartars could not get down at the top of the city, they would immediately turn their cannons around. In the city.

He really didn't think of this question at the time.

After all, the Tartars came out on a small scale to fight the autumn wind, and they did not carry cannons, nor did they have gunners.

However, if there are smart people who force the surrendered soldiers and gunners to go up the city wall, they can also do this, because there were many Ming people and Ming troops outside the city at that time, and some of them would definitely fire.

"Wang Zongqi, you are right. I didn't think about this issue at the time. It almost caused a big mistake, and the victory or defeat may be reversed."

"Well said, well said, Zhao Dashan, on behalf of Wang Zongqi, remember that tomorrow you will be rewarded with two taels of silver."

"Thank you, sir." Wang Weizhong kowtowed excitedly.

"Get up, don't you know my lord won't let you kneel?" Zhao Dashan seized the opportunity and hurriedly said.

The pot was fried on the spot, is there money?

Everyone racked their brains to think about what was left unfinished at the scene that day.

Because if you don’t say you want a fart drum, you are right if you say it. Then everyone started to talk nonsense. Seinfeld and the brainless people can’t imagine why the spearman team is not lined up, and the sword and shield soldier Lime is not. Sprinkle it, it's all nonsense.

Ding Yi didn't scold them, but listened patiently.

At this time, a hundred households stood up. This man was Yan Xiong, who used to be the general banner, and won the hundred households after this battle.

"My lord, our brothers were in the third alley at the time."

At that time, Ding Yi numbered the four alleys as one, two, three, and four, and Yan Xiong led people to guard at number three.

"After the Tartars came in and rushed out of the alley, we won the first wave. Immediately, brothers rushed to cut off their heads, and the situation was chaotic. A few fierce Tartars immediately jumped into the deep pit, and we were defeated immediately. , Many brothers were killed and injured, almost collapsed."

"Fortunately, artillery was ready behind, and a heavy artillery shot down the Tartar's charge again."

When he mentioned it, everyone shouted, there are such things in many places, otherwise so many people would not have died in battle.

Ding Yi's face changed slightly, and he finally thought of this.

The Ming army judged meritorious deeds with their heads, and everyone likes to take the lead on the battlefield.

Back then in the Saarhu War, the Juniper Department of the West Route Army of the Ming Army fought pretty well at the beginning. At that time, the Houjin Army was retreating steadily. Change.

As a result, the Ming army began to snatch heads one after another, and stopped fighting, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

After Jin regained his breath, he continued to fight again, but the entire Ming army was gone.

"Yan Baihu said it in time, this is also a big matter, and we can't do it again next time." Ding Yi immediately said: "A reward of two taels of silver."

Yan Xiong was overjoyed.

Chen Youfu stood up abruptly, it was probably the first time he spoke in front of so many people, he was a little excited: "My lord, when brothers line up, they don't like to stand in the first row, but when it comes to grabbing the head, the ones behind have the upper hand. "

"It's easy to die in the first row, but the head is favored by the brothers in the back. Everyone feels it's unfair."

Everyone said yes again.

Many brothers at the scene were promoted during this war. Some of them were soldiers before and stood in the front row.

When lining up, everyone is of course unwilling to stand in the first row.

The first row faces the Tartars first and is the easiest to die in battle.

Once killed in battle, the head is the one in the back row.

In order to encourage everyone, Ding Yi immediately boasted: "This question is very important. Chen Youfu, you have a good question and have an idea. I will reward you with two taels of silver."

Chen Youfu was overjoyed.

Zhao Dashan and Zhang Jing looked at each other with blushing faces. They usually thought they were Wolong and Chufeng next to Ding Yi, but they didn't expect that today they didn't seem smarter than them, and they both asked questions, but these two farted. If you can't come out, I'm really in a hurry.

Then everyone chattered again and asked some questions on the battlefield. Of course, most of them were useless, but at last these people could say something.

After everyone finished speaking, Ding Yi coughed lightly, and the audience fell silent, because everyone knew that Mr. Ding was going to make a concluding speech.

"In wars since ancient times, the people below are used to obeying orders and acting according to military orders."

Everyone listened intently, Zhang Jing and Zhao Dashan listened most carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"Our soldiers are basically illiterate, let alone read military books. Even many senior military officers and generals have read military books. Fighting depends on experience."

"However, there is a saying in ancient books, only by knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy can one be victorious in all battles."

"What is knowing the enemy and knowing the enemy? I personally think that, to put it simply, fighting a war is about using your brain."

"What do we have such big heads for? To eat?"

"Aside from eating, the brain is useless?"

Everyone heard this, and many people laughed.

"The human brain is for us to think?"

"As soon as the battle broke out, there was chaos everywhere, and the situation changed a lot."

"Those who really know how to fight and want to win battles must use their brains, come up with countermeasures, and act flexibly according to the battlefield situation, terrain, and various changes."

"Don't fight deadly, fight blindly."

"Most officers and soldiers only know how to obey orders."

"For example, Shangguan asked you to lead a team to the east to attack the enemy's camp."

"I can assure you that the brothers present have the same reaction as most of the officers and soldiers of the Ming army."

"Don't say anything else, just charge forward with a team of people."

Everyone laughed again. In fact, when it comes to war, everyone is like this. They fight as the higher-ups tell them to fight.

"This kind of brainless fight will not only increase the number of casualties, but it may not be able to fight."

"But if you think about it, what's the terrain like on the other side? Are there any holes in the barracks? How many soldiers and horses are there? How should I fight? What soldiers and horses should I bring? What equipment should I use? The way to save trouble, the least cost, to win."

"Of course, there are so many military orders on the battlefield, sometimes you can't allow you to think too much."

"What I mean is, no matter how old we are, even if we are a small soldier, when fighting on the battlefield, we must not fight blindly, but be good at thinking and use our brains."

"Because, the purpose of our wars is the same, that is - to win the war and survive."

"Why do most smart people live long in this world? It's because they can use their brains."

Ding Yi couldn't tell them too much. After all, these people didn't know a single word, and they might not be able to understand them.

But he reminded them in the simplest way that if you want to survive, you must win more battles, and if you want to win battles, you must use your brains more.

He didn't know if these people understood or could listen, but after he finished speaking, everyone looked thoughtful.

I don't know how long it took.

Someone in the crowd whispered: "I knew Master Ding was smart, if Master Ding hadn't thought of so many ways for Xu Dabao's big victory, we would have won so easily."

"In war, you really need to use your brain and find a way. You can't fight hard."

Damn it, Zhang Jing and Zhao Dashan looked over at the same time, but it was Chief Banner Ding Shitou who robbed them both of their flattery.
