Chapter 472: School-running Party

Yang Jing introduced the uses and benefits of bayonets to his generals. He wanted to talk more and discuss them carefully, but today is really not suitable for discussing tactical issues. He met in a hurry and was considered to be comforting, so he was ready to continue meeting the next group of people.

"I'm leaving..." Seeing that the emperor had something to do, the generals said they would leave and were about to withdraw. Today, a large number of ministers gathered outside the Taimiao, which was really not suitable to talk to them.

"Well, go ahead and bring this bayonet back, carefully study this bayonet, and think about all aspects, advantages and disadvantages of this bayonet against the enemy. In a few days, I will ask you again." Yang Jingwei said.

"I'm following the order!" Several generals said together.

"In addition, remember to keep it secret. This thing is the latest weapon of our dynasty, and it is a surprise weapon to defeat the enemy in the future. Don't let go of the news." Yang Jie reminded again.

"I understand, please understand." Several people agreed again.

A few people came out, but surrounded Sun Chengzong. The emperor was too busy and had no time to tell them in detail, but Sun Chengzong obviously knew the inside story, so how could he let him go? He surrounded Sun Chengzong one by one and was about to ask questions.

The one who expects the greatest expectations for this thing is Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War. If the emperor said, even infantry can fight against cavalry, and it is a field battle, wouldn’t this mean that it is just around the corner to pacify the Eastern Barbarians? Liu Yanyuan was not clear about how to fight with bayonets, and he didn’t understand it very much, and he didn’t want to figure it out. However, he understood the meaning behind the emperor’s words clearly. As soon as he went out, he hurriedly grabbed Sun Chengzong. It seems that the achievement of pacifying the Eastern Barbarians was really hopeful to achieve it in his post!

"Ge Master, is this true? With the bayonet, you can fight the Eastern Lu?" Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, asked impatiently.

When the other generals saw that the Minister of War pulled Sun Chengzong, they knew what the Minister of War had made. They followed up and stopped around Sun Chengzong, hoping that Sun Chengzong would give him a detailed reply.

Sun Chengzong was surrounded in the middle, looked at the look of anticipation around him and smiled, "Forget it, forgot, since you want to know this, then I will just talk."

"Please..." Many of these people are old subordinates of Sun Chengzong. The oldest Zhao Ruicang is only in his fifties and is still a generation younger than Sun Chengzong. Therefore, when he saw several "juniors" surrounding him and asked questions, Sun Chengzong was happy to explain.

"...This thing is made of stainless steel and very strong. It was made by Sun Yuanhua and was made recently..." Sun Chengzong took several generals to a slightly remote place and began to explain.

"Ge Lao, is Sun Yuanhua who casts cannons? I heard that he is a student of Xu Ge Lao? He is the cannons we use now. He is responsible for casting them?" Liu Yanyuan, the Minister of War, immediately asked. Sun Yuanhua was just a juren, and perhaps it was nothing in the eyes of these Jinshi. However, he had a good teacher, Xu Guangqi, which is different. In short, he was also a member of the imperial party, and he was highly valued by His Majesty. It is said that the silver for cast cannons assigned to him by the emperor was astronomical.

"...Yes, this person is this person. This person has to be given guidance from Xu Zi first. He is proficient in Western theories, calendar calculations, castings, and steel produced has its own uses. It is rare. The reason why the four-wheeled carriage in the capital is not so bumpy is that it uses the steel he casts..." Sun Chengzong explained with a smile.

"Um!..." Everyone applauded, this was always the achievement of the Imperial Party.

"...This bayonet was also made by him using special steelmaking methods according to His Majesty's request. It is much stronger than an ordinary short sword." Sun Chengzong continued to explain.

Everyone did not express any different opinions on this statement. Everyone is a warrior who has been fighting all year round. The quality of the weapons can be estimated by looking at them and weighing them. No one said there was any problem with the quality of the bayonet.

"Then, Master Ge, can this kind of thing really fight against the Donglu after being equipped with muskets?" the Minister of War asked impatiently.

"According to the deduction of the General Staff, how can it be said that the infantry had a way to fight against the cavalry in the wild, so that they would not massacre the cavalry in the wild. The specific victory or defeat depends on the specific situation of both sides at that time..." Sun Chengzong thought for a while and concluded relatively fairly.

Liu Yanyuan felt most of the time after receiving Sun Chengzong's accurate letter. Since Master Sun said it was OK, it was probably fine. As for the details and how to fight, he was very confused and he didn't care so much for the time being.

"I beg the elders to give advice. What Your Majesty said is that this formation has the miraculous effect of restraining cavalry. I wonder which ones it is?" Qin Liangyu heard the emperor say it a little, and with her deep understanding of spearmen, she already had a understanding of this tactic. However, she still wanted to know more. If she could command infantry and command her white-rod soldiers to defeat the Donglu in field battles, she would undoubtedly have the first achievements to pacify the Donglu in the future. For this new tactic, she would want to know his full picture immediately.

"I didn't expect that Zhensu, who has always been known for his steadiness and indifference, would have moments of anxiety. It seems that the secret of Your Majesty cannot be hidden. Let me tell you this. When Your Majesty asks you later, don't say it was me!" Sun Chengzong looked at Qin Liangyu, who had always been steadiness, and asked about this matter, and said with a smile.

"I beg for advice from the old master." Qin Liangyu smiled shyly. There was no way, this thing is too attractive, how can you keep calm?

"In fact, there are three special features of this tactic. First: the enemy can fire first. When the enemy cavalry, especially the Donglu, want to attack this camp, they must first bear a wave of attack. Don't underestimate this wave of attack. Many elite Donglu have to lie on the road of attack, so it is also a dangerous place for this formation; Second: This formation is not afraid of impact. This formation is generally composed of about four or five hundred official troops, and several squares form a depth. Even if the enemy cavalry risked their lives to break through the previous square formation, the front square formation can quickly retreat to other square formations.

The second special thing about this formation is that the front row was dispersed and followed by scattering is the second special thing of this formation; third: there is a gap between each square array, and each square array is empty. When the enemy cavalry attacks, the soldiers on the outside will place the muskets on the ground to form a gun array, and the soldiers in the middle will continue to shoot. In this way, they will always maintain the attack power of the gun array..." Sun Chengzong said here, smiling at the younger generation. Then he said: "...some people may not know the strength of the third point..."

Several people were really confused and looked at Sun Chengzong in confusion.

"The reason why the third point is amazing is very strange. You may not know that when this musket is put on a bayonet, it is six feet long and placed on the ground. As long as it is slightly tilted, the bayonet is shakingly in the position of the urethra. When a horse, like a beast, faces a bright bayonet in front of him, according to what His Majesty said, he will instinctively be afraid, either stop or run to both sides. This formation happens to have a gap between each square formation. When the horse sees the gap on both sides, it will instinctively run here without hitting the bayonet formation. Once the horse runs, it will run instinctively towards it without hitting the bayonet formation.

He walked towards the gap between the two formations, and I was afraid there would be no good results. Haha, this is also the strangeness of this formation..." Sun Chengzong explained with a narrow smile. Sun Chengzong did not believe this magical thing at first, but after the experiment, Sun Chengzong was shocked. As expected, the horse was still a livestock. A bright bayonet was so shaking that the horse was killed and he didn't dare to go forward. He ran towards the gap between the two bayonet formations. Isn't it a dead end? As many people with guns behind opened fire, they would definitely be sieve.

"Ah!..." Not only Qin Liangyu was shocked! Everyone present exclaimed, but also this thing? It's so amazing.

"Gei Master, is this really something?" Qin Liangyu asked in confusion. It was not that she didn't believe it, but that this matter was too lingering.

"I have seen this with my own eyes, otherwise I would never believe that this matter is true. Therefore, I am confident that this formation can resist the cavalry's charge, otherwise I would not let Your Majesty make a fuss." Sun Chengzong explained with a smile. Recently, Sun Chengzong smiled and more and more.

"Uh..." Everyone said incredible in their hearts, and they could not digest Sun Chengzong's words for a long time.

"In fact, it is not absolute. Some people who are powerful in controlling horses can still control horses and hit the gun array. However, there are not many such people even in the Donglu. There are not many people who can run to the gun array under the repeated attacks of muskets. Even if they rush to the gun array, it doesn't matter. The gun array is alive, and some soldiers who have died or injured can be repaired immediately. In this way, the gun array is still a complete gun array..." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Uh..." Everyone was still digesting Sun Chengzong's words and exclaimed without time.

"Then Master, what if the Donglu rushed to the formation with heavy armored cavalry or rushed to the formation in a dense manner? Although muskets can continue to shoot, they are always very slow to load..." Qin Liangyu thought for a while and thought of many questions. His understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of spearmen was much higher than that of others.

"It's okay, our dynasty has artillery and artillery support. How dare the Donglu attack my gun array with dense camps? Isn't this asking for death? What's more, you can also place artillery in each small phalanx. How can you allow the Donglu to rush into the formation in a dense manner?" Sun Chengzong said immediately.

"Uh..., amazing, amazing! After hearing what the elder said, I suddenly realized, I understood, I understood..." Qin Liangyu first understood the basic elements of this tactic, and had a preliminary understanding of this tactic.

While the other people were still thinking hard, Liu Yanyuan stopped talking and didn't understand at all. He only knew that the emperor was very powerful and this kind of tactic was very powerful. He smiled.

Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong were still pondering, as if they had gained something occasionally, but then they fell into greater contemplation.

Man Gui said with a bad look on his face and said sadly: "Gei Master, so will my cavalry become a supporting role in the future?" After hearing the words of Sun Chengzong and Qin Liangyu, Man Gui had not figured out the key yet, but he also understood that his role as a cavalry would not be as glorious as today in the future.

"Go..., what are you saying? Don't train your troops well, don't think about how to win, and think about cavalry and cavalry all day long. Without cavalry, you won't go to war? There are too many places where there are no horses. If you want to go to war, are you still leveling the land for you in advance? If you don't level it for you, don't you have to wait for death?" Sun Chengzong immediately raised his face and scolded Man Gui.

Man Gui quickly put away his despairy face and dared not reply without saying a word, standing there obediently.

Everyone was smiling. Man Gui, a carefree person, was as proud as Sun Chengzong, and he didn't dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty's tactic is actually a coordinated battle between infantry, cannon, and cavalry. How can cavalry be useless? At critical moments, cavalry will also go up to fight to gain time for infantry formations and prevent the formation from being defeated. How can it be useless? Chasing the enemy, it depends on cavalry. How can a person run a four-legged horse?" Sun Chengzong taught Man Gui a lesson and comforted him.

Man Gui was already depressed, what did Sun Chengzong say?

"I think this tactic is indeed exquisite. Although I don't know the whole picture of this formation, I also feel the power of this formation. I just hope to see the style of this formation as soon as possible!" Qin Liangyu smiled faintly, as if he had already understood this tactic.

"Okay, Zhensu can understand the best... Your Majesty has ordered you to think about this tactic. After a few days, your Majesty will invite you to see you again. Take advantage of these days to think about the advantages and disadvantages of this tactic..." Sun Chengzong praised Qin Liangyu. He had something to say later, but it was difficult to say it in front of so many people, and then preach others.

"Remember the teachings of the elders..." Everyone replied. Everyone could only listen carefully to Sun Chengzong's preaching.

...

In the Taimiao, Yang Jing had already met several groups of people. This fruitful thing was indeed a tiring thing. Even if an emperor faced countless ministers, he could not stand it.

Yang Jie touched his forehead and his head hurt a little.

"Your Majesty, do you still want to see you?" Wang Chengen asked with a little distress.

"Who should I meet now?" Yang Jie asked dizzyly.

"Back to Your Majesty, at this time, it's Lord Lin Zhenlin among the little nine ministers..." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, you're at Lin Qiong? See you, and we'll see Liu Zhouzong, the prefect of Shuntian." Yang Jie heard that it was time to see Lin Qiong, and immediately cheered up. Today, there was an important play to sing. Although the salt merchants were kicked over, the salt merchants, the salt merchants and the salt class were different. After the salt merchants turned over, the salt administration was a different matter. If they wanted to kick over the salt merchants and reset the salt administration, Liu Zhouzong was an indispensable person. Now this drama depends on him.

"I obey the order, let's go and pass the order!" Wang Chengen quickly agreed.

Liu Zongzhou was very confused. He was summoned with the Imperial College Priest Lin Qiong. Where he had an intersection with him was running a school. Could it be that the emperor would talk about running a school?

"I bow to your Majesty!" The two saluted.

"No gifts, sit down." Yang Jingai said with a smile, signaling the two of them to sit down.

Lin Qiong was confused for a moment, and without much hesitation, he sat down. When Liu Zongzhou saw Lin Qiong sitting down, he also sat down.

"You two, one is the minister of the school whom I ordered, and the other is a prestigious scholar. He has a strong supporter of the school and has made a lot of efforts. He is also an official in the court. I asked the two of you to come together today, just to ask you, what are the progress in running the school? What are the difficulties?" Yang Jing asked with a smile.

As soon as the emperor said this, Liu Zhouzong was stunned. Could it be that the emperor was about to pay the money? Could it be that the emperor killed the salt merchants and could also share some of them for them to run schools? Liu Zongzhou, who was frightened by today's incident, immediately regained his vitality. First, he could basically pick out the salt merchants' affairs. Second, the emperor was likely to pay the money to run the school. Liu Zongzhou, who was somewhat involved in the salt merchants, immediately returned to his former calmness.

"When you go back to Your Majesty, I am still planning the school work, and there are some progress. If you want to say it, it is a shortage of money and no money. This is always a castle in the air, and there is no way to talk about it..." Lin Qiong also stood firmly on the emperor's side today. He had nothing to do with the salt merchants, not to mention that he had a secret agreement with the emperor, so he was the first group of people to kneel down, and he was not afraid of the emperor.

"Oh, how much money does this cost?" Yang Jing asked in a pretentious manner.

"Return to your Majesty, I will plan to make a lot of money even if I first started the trial. In the first few years, even if the scale is small, I will have to cost one or two million taels of silver..." Lin Qiong said without hesitation. This matter was what the emperor asked him to do. What the emperor knew better than him, so he naturally said whatever he said without hesitation.

"Two million taels of silver!" Yang Jing said pretentiously, with a little exaggeration in his tone, as if the two million taels of silver would kill him.

Lin Qin glanced at the emperor and saw the emperor's heartache, and he kept it in his heart.

Liu Zhouzong stared at the emperor, his heart beating. If the emperor agreed to pay the money, their career would be mostly halfway. This matter was just a matter of the emperor! Logically speaking, the emperor should have earned a lot of money by slaughtering the salt merchants, and he would not refuse.

"Oh, I have difficulties too!" Yang Jing pretended to behave for a long time and then said this.

Lin Qin was not surprised at all. No matter how you say it or play it, it wasn't the emperor himself who was acting, so there was no need to hurry. However, Liu Zhouzong's face was filled with disappointment.

"Haha, Liu Aiqing, do you think the sting is stingy? Since you kicked the salt merchant over, why don't you share some out to run the school?" Yang Jing looked at Liu Zhouzong's disappointed face and smiled.

"I dare not, I dare not, I must not have such intentions!" Liu Zhouzong hurriedly cleared away. The grand showdown in the court today scared Liu Zhouzong, who had always been calm, was so shocking. The scene was really shocking! Until now, I still felt scared. If I hadn't hugged the emperor's thighs quickly, I would have been afraid of kneeling with those "dead people".

"Ah..., I have always supported the development of the saint's cause and spread the saint's concepts. I have always supported the running of the school, but I have difficulties!" Yang Jing sighed.

When Lin Qin saw the emperor and Liu Zhouzong acting, he kept laughing.

"What is the difficulty of Your Majesty? Can you tell me? Perhaps I can share your worries for Your Majesty." Liu Zhouzong asked boldly as he followed the emperor's words.
