General Ding Shen went out early in the morning, his pocket was as empty as cleaner than his face.

What kind of mahjong should I invent? What money should I have to bet on? I was killed by two beautiful wives and a prospective wife. Not only did I lose all the money in my pocket, but after the bet, I even mortgaged the sword like "Dragon Teeth" that never left my body for a moment.

Fortunately, the two Jiao and the expectant wife were finally "magnanimous" and knew that this "Dragon Teeth" was her husband's treasure, so it was all up to it to kill the enemy. Ding Yunyi asked them to write an IOU to each of them, and he temporarily lent the "Dragon Teeth" to Ding Yunyi.

This is really a big deal. The weapons brought by the dignified Taiwanese general, the commander of the light chariot, and General Zhaowu did not belong to him until he paid off his debts!

I borrowed it, that was asked by my wife...

Ding Yunyi knew that the father of XX was just saying that he invented such a thing, but he might not be a big expert who uses such things...

Qin Yun was still not conscious and excitedly found Ding Yunyi: "Third brother, I just learned that the fishermen caught a strange big fish in the sea. Why don't we buy it?"

Buy? Are you fucking me? I owe my wife a lot of debts! Ding Yunyi thought hatefully, but he couldn't show it on his face: "What's so strange about a fish? Don't look."

"Go and have a look." Qin Yun tried his best to persuade: "I heard that the fish has a mouthful of teeth."

Ding Yunyi then became curious. He walked out with Qin Yun, and indeed saw a large group of people gathering around to watch Xihan in the market.

Ding Yunyi separated everyone and walked in and saw a big fish that was about twenty pounds, and it really had teeth all over the mouth.

The locals were talking about it, and some fishermen who had been fighting fish for their whole lives had never seen such a strange fish. The superstitious old people were a little scared and said that suddenly such a strange fish was not a good sign.

"Mr. Ding is here." When the people saw Ding Yunyi, they made way.

"Mr. Ding, I've never seen such a strange fish before. I refused to rain and made such a strange thing happen again. Don't be that God wants to punish us?" Someone asked worriedly.

It was the first time Ding Yunyi saw such a strange fish.

The people are the most superstitious. When they see such a strange fish, they think of natural disasters, so they are naturally frightened. Ding Yunyi knew that once the people have such a mentality, they will fall into panic. He immediately turned his eyes and said seriously:

"When I was a child, I heard from my husband that there is a big fish called Kun in the North Sea, which is not many miles long and not many miles wide. It rushes into the sky in one day and turns into a big bird that can fly tens of thousands of miles. The back of Peng is thousands of miles wide. This kind of fish called Kun. Once it appears, there will be auspicious signs, which is a good sign of wealth and honor. Once I traveled to the North Sea, I saw this fish with my own eyes, which is exactly the same as what you caught..."

Ding Yunyi was full of nonsense, except in the story books of Kun and Peng. How did he see what this fish looks like?

But as soon as he said this, the people suddenly became excited. They were all asking if this was true.

Ding Yunyi simply said: "What I saw with my own eyes is there, so is there any fake? As soon as this fish comes out, although there will be drought in Taiwan in the beginning of spring, as long as everyone works together to survive this disaster, Taiwan will definitely have good weather and good harvests in the next few years."

A cheer sounded.

Qin Yun also knows the allusion of "There is a fish in Beiming, and its name is Kun" that only has the third brother really seen this kind of Kun?

"Mr. Ding, this fish is dead. What should I do?"

Ding Yunyi's expression was even more serious: "This fish is not really dead, but fake death, and will definitely be resurrected three days after death. You can send this fish to my official residence. I sincerely pray to heaven and pray for blessings for the Taiwan Strait, and wait until the fish is resurrected, and then release it to the sea."

Amid the cheers, everyone took action, carried the big fish and walked towards the official residence.

"Third Brother." Qin Yunda was suspicious: "Can this fish really be resurrected?"

Ding Yunyi looked at the side and whispered: "I don't know if it can be resurrected, but I think this fish will definitely be delicious if it is braised..."

Qin Yun was stunned when he heard this.

Ding Yunyi suddenly shook his head again and said, "No, no, what if it is poisonous? Xiaojin, I will treat you to dinner in the evening, and eat this fish. You eat it first, and I will eat it later..."

Amid the laughter, before Qin Yun could react, Ding Yunyi had already run away.

The bloody battle in the Central Plains was depressed, but once I returned to Taiwan, I returned to my home. I spoke and did things very easily, and I no longer had to worry about this and that...

......

"Stay at attention! Shoot in the front row!"

"Squat in the first row, shoot in the second row!"

The less standard Ming Dynasty Mandarin dialect kept ringing on the training ground.

The newly recruited recruits were being trained under the command of a group of Red Barbarian officers led by Major Svet and Lieutenant Mansula.

These Red Barbarians and the officers hired by Ding Yunyi in the Kingdom of Flangji were very responsible. After all, they were able to get double the salary here, and it would not be easy to find such a job.

When Ding Yunyi saw that the group of soldiers were trained by Folangji officers, his soldiers suddenly felt ridiculous and crying.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the dress of these soldiers is not like all the Ming officers and soldiers.

These soldiers were wearing a top, and Ding Yunyi recognized that it was a jacket style, with a shirt inside, a tie, and a pair of shorts and leggings below. The soldiers were all wearing leather shoes. They all wore a wide-edged soft hat on their heads, with a white decorative belt on the hats, and the officers inserted a colorful feather on the straps to show his identity. The soldiers' top sleeves were rolled up, with buttons on the flip side, and the sleeves were rolled up to the elbow joint to reveal the shirt inside.

This...if these soldiers were not all Chinese faces, what would be the difference between them and the Red Barbarians who were driven away from Taiwan?

"Is this the general's soldier?" Ding Yunyi was skeptical.

Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "Third brother. Before you left, you said that Shi Weide would give him whatever he needed. In order to make these clothes, I could go there for a lot of money. I also hired two red tailors. Although I don't know how to fight, I don't think this is the officers and soldiers of our Ming Dynasty. By the way, Shi Weide also gave them a name, "Major Shi Weide's Regiment."

"This is understandable." Ding Yunyi was not surprised by this: "These Red and Barbarian officers attach great importance to their honor. Therefore, it is often seen that they use their own names to name the troops. Major Swede's regiment? Damn, the troops I have armed, the Red and Barbarians are named after his name. Ah. Don't call them Hong Barbarians in front of them in the future. They will do their best to do their jobs for me, without any credit. There will always be hard work."

At this time, a new force appeared on the training ground.

I saw a large number of spearmen holding spears and began to practice with musketmen holding muskets.

Ding Yunyi took a look and saw five spearmen and one musketeer.

The main structure of this weapon held by a spearman is a wooden pole about twenty kilograms and six meters long. One end is equipped with a flat steel gun tip about half a meter long and with edges on both sides.

On the battlefield, spears are a simple weapon to operate. However, combat units composed of spearmen seem difficult and slow to operate.

At this time, the spear was still regarded as an assault to defend against enemy cavalry and protect the main force of infantry.

Ding Yunyi was also very clear that gradually, with the development of infantry firepower, Europe changed its original infantry tactics and caused a huge change in the ratio between spearmen and musketeers.

"Shi Weide!" Ding Yunyi suddenly shouted.

When Shi Weide saw that Ding Yunyi was back, he hurried over and saluted: "General, welcome you back to Taiwan. I am training your soldiers."

Ding Yunyi nodded: "I think you are five spearmen and one musketeer. Is that true?"

"Yes, General." Swede replied loudly.

"I'll give you a suggestion." Although Ding Yunyi was not very clear about European infantry tactics, he still knew about the general development: "Why can't the role of musketeers be fully utilized? I don't think it's better to have a spearman and five musketeers, so that the power of musketeers can be fully utilized."

This statement is quite new. In the Kingdom of Taixi, almost all five spearmen were used to cooperate with one musketeer. This is a fixed mindset. The advantage of the change in the ratio of spearmen and musketeers will take many years to be discovered by the Thais, but now Ding Yunyi has taken the lead in proposing it.

Swede thought about it for a long time: "General, I admit that your statement is very imaginative. Such arrangements can certainly further demonstrate the advantages of musket concentration, but the musketeers themselves lack the necessary self-defense ability."

"Isn't it enough to have a musket equipped with a bayonet?" Ding Yunyi said in a daze.

"Battle?" Shi Weide was stunned.

Ding Yunyi said patiently: "A bayonet, it looks like an extended short sword. It surrounds a hose at the grip and can be inserted into the muzzle of the musket when used. Wouldn't it become the best defensive weapon for musket soldiers? I think after this kind of equipment is popularized, spearmen can be gradually eliminated."

Swede was a very serious officer. He thought about it for a while: "This is indeed an invention full of imagination, but once this...bayonet is used, the musket will not be able to continue shooting, and it can only protect the musket himself..."

"Yes, this is a flaw, but we can find a way to study the normal use of bayonets without affecting the shooting of muskets. This is not too difficult to solve. We can call it a sleeve bayonet." Ding Yunyi thought carefully in his mind that hose bayonets can be made very well, and sleeve bayonets will be a little more troublesome, but it is not very difficult to solve:

"Before the sleeve-type bayonet was developed, this required the command officer of each assault unit to issue an order to uniformly mount the entire team when he thought it was impossible to continue to fire another musket. No, no, it would be safer to directly equip the army with the sleeve-type bayonet..."

"Why?" Shi Weide was completely attracted by Ding Yunyi's bold idea.

Ding Yunyi patiently explained: "When the assault formation collided with the enemy's front, the commander would risk how to judge whether it was the last moment of this order. You think that when the infantry in the charge had to put a bayonet into the muzzle at a distance of 60 steps, the enemy could arbitrarily shoot the target before the bayonet was fixed; once the bayonet was fixed, if the enemy sent a reserve team, the muskets of the assault queue could not be re-fired in a short time."

Shi Weide suddenly realized, and Ding Yunyi frowned: "The hose-type bayonet is not the most ideal solution. If you call the craftsmen, I will draw a drawing, even if you make a sleeve bayonet to equip the army."

"I am full of curiosity and expectation for this idea. General, it is no exaggeration to say that your idea may give the army a greatest breakthrough, and your name will be remembered forever in the history of war." There is no meaning of flattery in Swede's words.

Ding Yunyi smiled and said, "How is your team arranged? What is the tactical formation?"

Shi Weide immediately said: "My formation is different from the popular Spanish plaque. This is our unique formation. In our tactical plaque, we have reduced the number of people in each company, from 150 to 113, increasing the proportion of musketeers and slingers, and increasing the number of officers. At the same time, we have also reduced the number of plaques of plaques to ten rows to widen the line of battles facing the enemy. From a tactical point of view, this plaque basically forms four regiments of plaques composed of plaques and musketeers on the battlefield, each regiment is about 800 to 1,000. The arrangement method is to divide two battalions into two battalions, and each battalion plaque has a plaque in front and behind is a small plaque composed of musketeers. When fighting fire, musketeers will be scattered to both sides of the plaques and firing."

"Very good, you did a very good job." Ding Yunyi remembered this tactical phalanx: "But one thing needs to be noted that before the bayonet was developed and equipped with the troops, the key to this tactic is to familiarize musket shooters with their formation changes and the brave will of each spearman."

"Do you know so much about this tactical phalanx?" Swede said in surprise.

This unique tactic was invented by Folangji and was widely taught to various European armies at that time. Unexpectedly, he encountered a general who was so familiar with such tactics in Taiwan.

Ding Yunyi smiled. I know a lot.

He looked at the training team again and said, "Swede, you have done a good job during this period. Although I am not satisfied with my soldier outfit, since I have given you the power, everything is up to you. I hope my troops can become an elite army as soon as possible."
