Win the Ding 1617

"sailor!"

The Jinghai Hou Shi Lang in a certain time and space, the current Shi Lang gently pushed Zheng Zhihu's hand away.

"No matter how fast the ship is, no matter how ruthless the cannon is, it still needs people to operate it! The worst thing in the Southern Guangdong Army today is people!"

Shi Lang's face glowed red with excitement, and he pointed out Jiangshan on the map.

(I'm afraid someone will use bricks to shoot the author again! "After so many years of development, why is there still a shortage of sailors? Or is this a shortcoming? The number of words is not so deceiving!" Slow down! As the saying goes, the army of ten years How can a [-]-year-old navy become a strong navy overnight without long-term accumulation? Before the reform of the military service system, the navy’s conscripts were one year longer than the army’s. Why? The navy’s professional training takes longer !A lot of ship and shore-related majors need to train for more than half a year before they can be on duty! They still need to have a high school education or above. Although compulsory education is universal in the Zhujiao area, it is not easy!)

"Most of the sailors in my Fujian Navy are children of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, and they even have relatives with each other. The people on the same boat are either uncles, nephews, fathers and sons, or brothers of the same clan. The language, habits, and temperament are all well understood."

Shi Lang picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"However, when my nephew was on board a trainee in the Nanyue Army's navy, he discovered that the source of sailors in the Nanyue Army's navy was chaotic and the difficulty of communicating with each other was far beyond my imagination."

"Huh? Eldest nephew, tell me!"

"The sailors included Fujianese, Cantonese, Guangxi, Qiongzhou, and even Javanese, Burmese, Luzon, Fusang, Siamese, Arakanese and Hongmaoyi!! Among the Fujianese, there are people from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Fuzhou. Among the Cantonese, there are mostly people from Leizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture. Recently, it has been reported that Zhang Xiaohu has blocked and harassed Wusongkou and Hangzhou Bay since he used Danluo Island as his nest. , Many Koreans have been recruited into the subordinate fleet!"

"People in many places have very different languages, diets, customs, and temperaments! My nephew also struggled to communicate with them when he first boarded the ship. It takes a lot of time to convey an order. Commander, we are at sea, life and death Just between words, the speed with which an order is carried out is often the life and death of a boatload of people!"

Hearing Shi Lang list out the opponent's many disadvantages one by one like a few treasures, he heard the four brothers, father and son grinning.

"It seems that we still have a good chance of winning! Our sailors have gone out to sea with their father and brother to seek a living since they were young. Which one is not a good hand?"

"This. Li Jueshuai is also aware of his shortcomings, so he has been doing one thing for so many years."

Zheng Sen was a little unhappy to hear that Shi Lang respected his father's opponent so much.But at this time, he didn't care about that.Just urge Shi Lang to tell what Li Shouhan's countermeasure is.

"Use land to control the sea! Land and sea are like the two wings of the Nanyue Army. They are mutual aid! And over the years, the Nanyue Army has never relaxed its training on the navy. When my nephew was in the Naval Academy, no matter how big the wind and waves are. As long as the ship does not If you are overturned, you have to go to sea for training! Ports are built everywhere, and troops are stationed in order to reduce other people's sea life. Not to mention, commander, look here."

Shi Lang attracted everyone's attention to Taiwan, the big island opposite Xiamen, "Here, many good ports can be built, and there are large tracts of good land that can provide millions of stones of grain. What's more, this black ditch is We went north to the south of the Yangtze River, and the gateway for the fleet to go in and out every day! Marshal, for this land, Master Li sent his eldest son to this smoky and wild place to be the so-called magistrate of Taiwan!"

Heishuigou is the name given to the Taiwan Strait by the Fujian immigrants of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.A large number of people from Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and other places have crossed the stormy and dangerous strait one after another to go to Taiwan for reclamation.

"Nephew, as you said, what should we do with the Nanyue Army?"

Zheng Zhilong was silent for a while, ordered someone to roll up the map and put it away, and continued to ask Shi Lang.

"Marshal, when my nephew has nothing to do these days, I found out the Water Margin of Loyalty and Justice to read. In it, Wu Yong, the star of Tianji, said a sentence that my nephew thinks is very good. 'If you want to recruit security, you must kill a lot. He was terrified of killing him, even in his dreams. Then we will talk about recruiting security!' Compared with the Nanyue Army, our Fujian navy is good for a long time, while our army is good for a fast battle. Slave, I'm afraid they can consume us with money, food, gunpowder, and at that time, they can only hand in the letter of surrender in desperation!"

I know about my own affairs. Over the years, Zheng’s Maritime Merchant Group’s grain, gunpowder, cloth, artillery, oil, salt and meat and other bulk materials and necessities have almost all been purchased from Nanzhong, and through this purchase and resale trade, they have obtained a large amount. In order to benefit, they even sold the grain to the southern Jiangxi area by land.

"What my nephew means is that we might as well gather all the soft sailing boats and Daqingtou, and find a place at the southern end of Heishuigou, and take advantage of the fact that it is close to Xiamen and our army's supplies can be easily transferred to the Nanyue Army navy going south. The last one was ruthless! Afterwards, I will sit down with the Southern Guangdong Army. Commander, don’t you want to discuss the anti-smuggling matter in the three provinces? At that time, you can openly propose to Li Jueshuai that the anti-smuggling in the three provinces should be shared by the two. The route to Fusang is like this, and the route to Fusang also needs to be shared! Of course, the commander-in-chief has to feel wronged and become Li Jueshuai's subordinate."

"Go! Xiong Wencan was our immediate boss back then! Have we raped him?" Zheng Zhihu swears, which is his approval of Shi Lang's strategic conception.

According to this idea, the war machine of Zheng's Maritime Merchant Group began to operate slowly.

"Brother, we beat this freshly baked Uncle Li, how will the court explain?"

After everyone dispersed, Zheng Zhibao was a little worried, and he followed his elder brother back to the signing room.

"Don't worry about this. I'm afraid there are a lot of people in the government and the opposition looking forward to our conflict with Li Shouhan!" Zhilong sneered and handed the pile of letters to Zhibao.

Today, there is no military town in the Southern Guangdong Army that dares to confront him. The reputation of being able to kill tens of thousands of Liaodong rebels in one battle is daunting.However, Zhilong is quite confident in himself and his subordinates in regards to the activities at sea.

"At best, just get more fireboats! Like burning Dutchman's boats!"

I imagined the scene where the fresh and sexy Uncle Ning Yuan had to knock out his teeth and swallow after being burned by his own naval fleet with a fireboat.Zhilong couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

"Will the big bosses in the DPRK and China accuse us of disobeying military orders and offending the chief?" Zhi Bao was still a little worried.

"Brother, go back and take a good look at these mansion newspapers. This group of mainland officers and soldiers are like this, what can the imperial court do to them?" Zheng Zhilong threw a pile of mansion newspapers into Zhibao's arms, which were covered with The news of the government and army's suppression of the rogue bandits, the conscientious staff members used red pens to highlight the main points of the article.

Coincidentally, when Zheng Zhilong was discussing major issues with Shi Lang, Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhihu, Zheng Sen and others in Xiamen, Li Shouhan in Guangzhou also called a meeting.

Unlike Zheng Zhilong's meeting agenda, Shou Han's meeting did not involve strategic trends at all.Instead, we are discussing a seemingly trivial problem.

"Our artillery. Can it fire faster?"

After Qin Wang's army returned to Guangdong and other places with 10,000+ refugees, in addition to arranging immigration and other matters, the biggest thing to do was to conduct tactical summary discussions.According to Shouhan's words, "If you don't talk about your achievements, you can't escape. If you don't talk about your problems, you can't escape!"

And before this tactical summary meeting begins.Shou Han had to meet someone.

Weather in October.Guangdong is also very cold.Outside the gate of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion today, Wu Liuqi was naked on his upper body, with a bundle of thorns on his back.He knelt down on the square outside the gate of Yuanmen with all his hair tied up.Even though the thorns of the thorns stabbed the body dripping with blood, he just knelt in front of the door and apologized.

"Brigade Commander Wu, Jue Shuai has an order, 'Let the iron beggar get out of here! Don't make these false scenes! He is him, Wu Biao is Wu Biao!'"

Wu Biao was poached by the imperial court, and the troops he led became the so-called model brigade of the Beijing camp. He himself became a general of the Beijing camp, took the rank of deputy general, was granted the title of general Zhaoyong, and a servant of the mansion.It provided a model for Chongzhen to rectify the internal exercises of the Beijing camp.Now he was seconded by Yang Sichang Shang Zuoben, who went south to supervise the army to suppress the thieves, and went south with the army to act as Master Yang's trump card to deter the troops.

All these incidents made Wu Liuqi, who was also the brigade commander, terrified.

If the uncle has a grudge in his heart, and he is not a direct descendant of the Southern Guangdong Army, how can he survive?

Thus, there was a scene of pleading guilty in front of the gate.

Looking at the bloody Wu Liuqi bound by the thick hemp rope, Shou Han smiled mockingly, "Isn't it cold?"

No one expected that Shou Han would ask such a question.

Everyone had imagined in their minds the scene when Shou Han met Wu Liuqi. It was nothing more than a routine subject of releasing the rope and undressing, but no one thought that Shou Han would raise such a seemingly innocuous question. .

"a little cold!"

Wu Liuqi also told the truth.

"Find a cotton coat for Brigadier Wu."

Putting on the cotton coat, Wu Liuqi's face looked much better, but the thorns on his body were still tightly tied to his back by the hemp rope.

"It's Liu Qi's fault that my younger brother betrayed the lord..."

"Wu Biao is a big living person, with his head growing on his own neck. No one can stop him from acting out his thoughts. You go back and get rid of those who escaped from the police brigade and don't want to stay in the capital from Liao Dongzhi and Lu Yunsheng. Take it there and add it to your army."

Shouhan pointed to the bundle of thorns inside Wu Liuqi's cotton coat: "You can untie this thing yourself when you go back. But the bundle of thorns in your heart, after you have made great achievements in battle, you will also untie it yourself!"

Shou Han dismissed Wu Liuqi's pleading in this way, the news spread in Guangzhou city, quite a few Buddhist disciples and lay Buddhists thought that although Uncle killed countless people, what he said was quite wise.

"It's easy to get rid of the thieves in the mountains, but it's hard to get rid of the thieves in your heart! It's easy to get rid of the thorns on Brigadier Wu's body, but it's hard to get rid of the thorns in his heart."

"The person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell. General Wu can only get rid of the fault of his clan brother after beheading the general and making meritorious service."

Sent away Wu Liuqi to accept the Chaozhou soldiers from the Guards Brigade and the [-]rd Brigade, Shou Han returned to the venue again.

At the meeting place, Ao Lei Yilan blinked her beautiful eyes and watched this group of strange people arguing fiercely there.For the first time, she discovered that the Raksha people with red hair and blue eyes would kneel down and prostrate themselves when they saw their husbands.

How to face the rapid impact of Jiannu or other cavalry, and implement effective artillery fire interception, to provide sufficient time and space for the infantry's firecrackers.is today's main topic.

For this reason, Galileo, Descartes and others were sent to Guangzhou by the guards to discuss the matter together.

The person who was speaking at this time was a senior gunner of the Guards Brigade Artillery Team, known as the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

This person is also a legendary figure. Back then, he was a slave child under the Chieftain named Long. After the South Central Army broke through the Chieftain’s official village, he became a civilian man who carried artillery shells with the army. Because he could eat enough in the artillery team, he did not work hard Be lazy.Gradually, from a civilian husband to a heavy soldier.Gradually became a gunner.Now he has become a very senior gunner in the Guards Brigade.It is a pity for Shou Han, he is very familiar with artillery business, and he is also good at leading soldiers, but he is not very literate.Unable to become an officer of the artillery.For this reason, he can only find a way for him in terms of his military salary.

His name was when he enlisted in the army to make a roster.The gentlemen asked what his name was.I couldn't think of what to call it for a while, but someone next to me was singing the song "Blowing the Wujiang River with the wind, like Yu Ji Farewell to the Overlord".He heard that the name Bawang was very powerful, so he told others that his name was Dragon Bawang!

"Although we now use the fuse tube and silk powder bag, it is much faster than using the drawstring, and the gun barrel will not heat up so fast, but it is still not so fast! It is like the difference between a matchlock and a flintlock. Similarly, if the firing time of the artillery can be shortened, like that of the firecracker, then we can complete five reloads in the time we used to fire four cannons! The artillery team can use the method of grouping and firing alternately to complete the interception of the designated area! To the infantry brothers Allow plenty of time!"

The words of Dragon Overlord are very representative, and they hit the nail on the head.Nowadays, the artillery of the Southern Guangdong Army, whether it is the army or the navy, uses the goose feather tube to fill the primer, connect the ignition to the cartridge, and fire the fuse by igniting the fuse and detonating the cartridge.

Although this method is much faster than the matchlock that has been used before, it still feels powerless to face Jiannu's heavy cavalry like a storm during the Battle of Changqing in Jinan.In addition, in the face of the counterattack of the enemy's artillery fire, there were several times when the enemy's artillery shells hit the brazier and died.The army is better, and the distance can be widened. If the artillery in the navy explodes, it will be in big trouble!These are all areas for improvement.

"This one is more difficult!"

From Descartes, Galileo, to a group of craftsmen from Hejing Heavy Industry, they were all very novel about the idea of ​​Tyrannosaurus rex, but they were very annoyed.

Today's artillery ignition method is already very fast, how can it be faster?

"How stupid! A small pot can cook, but a big pot can't stew meat?!"

Ao Lei Yilan, who had just learned Chinese at the side, taunted this group of guys who got into the horns with a crisp voice.

"Madam Seven, how should I say this?"

Galileo has been in the East for many years, and he never understood the marriage system here until he understood it and accepted it.Compared with the superficially loyal marriage but a lot of mistresses and lovers monogamy advocated by European Catholicism, he feels that this kind of monogamy and multiple concubine system is also very scientific. At least, the family lineage is very clear.

"Go outside and have a look. The firearms used by the brothers who carry the firecrackers, which one still uses matchlocks? Don't they all use flints? You smart people, you made these things, and a small pot can cook Why can’t the cauldron be used to stew meat? Enlarge the flintlock on the firecracker and put it on the cannon, wouldn’t that be enough?”

Ao Lei Yilan's Chinese words are still a bit blunt, but the meaning is very clear.Modify the flintlock device of the flintlock, enlarge the scale, and install it on the artillery!From then on, there is no need to have a brazier on the gun emplacement of the navy!

Galileo Descartes and others and the craftsmen of Hejing Heavy Industry secretly groaned in their hearts, and at the same time, they were quickly calculating the structure of the flintlock and how to modify it.

The fire sickle of the flintlock is integrated with the medicine pool cover. When the trigger is pulled, the spring mechanism drives the fire sickle to hit the flint, generating sparks to ignite the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and then ignite the main charge in the machine chamber to shoot out the projectile.

Seeing that everyone started to discuss technical details enthusiastically, Ao Lei Yilan also knew that her words had inspired them, so she blinked narrowly at her husband who was sitting on the tiger-skin chair, and with her slightly calloused pair of soft hands, Yi lightly stroked Shou Han's back.

"Go ahead, I'll go out and stay."

Shou Han was a little annoyed, he stood up and walked to the water pavilion outside the meeting hall, looking at the clear water.

Ao Lei Yilan's deed just now made his crotch leapfrog.

Among the wives and concubines, Yan Mei'er is in Nanzhong's hometown, and Li Muhua is in Guangzhou, but he just gave birth to a pair of twins and is confinement.The other concubines were either in Hue or Guangzhou.Several concubines and orchids in Guangzhou not only have to serve Li Muhua, they also have to take care of Shou Han's daily chores, so there is a lack of things between the curtains and the bed.

Now Shou Han only has this Ao Lei Yilan and two concubines in Shandong to serve him. Shou Han is in his prime of life, and now he is facing another war. The excessive secretion of hormones makes him look like a pack of gunpowder , It will explode at one point.

"Master, I helped you figure out a solution, are you slow to thank me?" Ao Lei Yilan talked with Shou Han in half-understandable Chinese.

"Tell me!" Among the few women guarding the Han, Yan Meier is a gentleman even when she is in bed, Li Muhua is also limited in style, and although the Tianzhu orchids are more than style, they always look like slaves seeing their masters It feels like only this Ao Lei Yilan, not only has a lot of flair when facing her own gun galloping, but also keeps fighting back, which makes him enjoy it.

"Second sister gave me a book with a lot of pictures on it, saying that it can be used for swallowing. I want you to try it with me."

Ao Lei Yilan's voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly by the people around her, which immediately made Shou Han feel a little guilty.

"Ahem!" An old voice came from behind. (To be continued..)
