Chapter 481 Reward

What happened this morning court was completely expected.

Although the emperor was expected to start a salt merchant and change the salt course, the memorial of the King of Dai of Shanxi to return the bank caused a lot of sensation. Everyone did not expect that even though the dust had settled, the emperor was still so comprehensive. Without restraining the possibility of a turnaround, everything would be done "reasonable". Everything would go with the flow and take up the truth.

"I am worthy of being a descendant of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty. What a shameless person who is angry at the salt merchant, ashamed to hold salt with the salt merchant, ashamed to make profits by borrowing salt. The loyalty of the King of Dai is really valuable!" Yang Jing said with emotion.

When the emperor spoke, whether it was the Emperor Party or the "Donglin Party" who surrendered, he immediately flattered him. In addition to the emperor, he also praised the King of Dian.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Yang Jie suppressed his hands. The flattery activities of the ministers ended.

"The King of Dai is so conscious of the general principles and understands the great power. He is ashamed to hold the salt guitar and offer it out. I don't want to miss the King of Dai's intentions, so I just take back the salt guitars, but I don't want to let the King of Dai suffer..." Yang Jing accepted it with the trend, of course, there are still some later things.

"…How much salt gulp did King Dai offer in total?" Yang Jie asked again.

"When you go back to your Majesty, you have presented a total of 3,000 salt entries on the King of the Ministry of Rites." said the Minister of Rites.

"Three thousand indices!" Yang Jie asked.

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

"Oh..." Yang Jing said a long time ago, and then said, "Let's do this, the King of Dai understands the righteousness, and I cannot let the King of Dai suffer losses. In this way, to praise the King of Dai, I will reward the King of Dai, Liulizhai's stocks, fifty shares."

As soon as the emperor said this, the courtiers immediately became furious.

Fifty shares? What does this mean? Now Liulizhai’s stock is 2,000 taels per piece. Your reward is fifty shares. How much does it cost? Hundreds of thousands of taels? Oh my God, the emperor is indeed a generous person.

Faced with the sensation of the ministers, Yang Jing smiled and said, "This is a huge sum of money to buy horse bones. If others follow him to do things, he will not give him any benefits. Who will follow him? The first one to try something unexpected will always have unexpected gains. As for this later, it will be different.

Faced with the emperor's "magnificent and grand" reward, many of the ministers felt that their legs were weak and the emperor was too generous, so that stocks appeared in the court openly, and no one pursued them too much.

"Your Majesty, isn't it a little too much?" A minister said with a sore hand and feet. That's 100,000 taels of silver! Don't throw it away with a word! How long do we have to be greedy for ink and greedy? How much effort do we spend?

"Oh, not many. King Dai is so wise and supports me in establishing a salt merchant. I can't say nothing without any expression. Wouldn't it be that King Dai's heart is cold? The hearts of the whole world?" Yang Jingai said with a smile.

Today, the number of rewards from the emperor was so shocking that stocks, which should not have appeared in the court, also appeared openly. Although some ministers felt that it was strange, they were afraid of the emperor's authority and were shocked by the number of rewards that they "forgot".

"Your Majesty is wise." The ministers could not resist the emperor and could only allow the emperor to reward huge wealth. Yang Jing looked at the ministers and smiled confidently. Today, he achieved a considerable goal. He would not say anything about the salt merchants who were justified in Xu Guangqi, but he even made a lot of foreplay for the salt class. He even inadvertently put the word stock in the court and said that with the first time, it would not be difficult to talk about stocks in the future. This stock is a huge catalyst for the huge historical change...

...

The morning court was like this and it dispersed amid the praises.

"Big partner, please come with Master Sun." Yang Jingai said to Wang Chengen.

"As for your order, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen agreed and immediately asked someone to pursue Sun Chengzong.

Soon, Sun Chengzong arrived.

"I will meet your Majesty." Sun Chengzong said politely.

"No need to be polite, how are you prepared for the bayonet phalanx?" Yang Jie asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, you have been practicing for some time." Sun Chengzong replied.

"Oh, how effective? I plan to practice in front of several generals today. It will be closed in the near future. There must be no chief officer on the front line." Yang Jingwei asked.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this formation has been practiced proficiently and will not make any mistakes." Sun Chengzong agreed.

"Well, that's good,... my partner, go and invite Liu Yanyuan, Mao Wenlong, Yuan Chonghuan, Man Gui, Qin Liangyu, Zhao Rujiao..., let's go to the schoolyard, Master Sun, let's go to the schoolyard, too..." Yang Jie agreed first, then said to Wang Chengen, and finally told Sun Chengzong.

...

Inside the school grounds.

Yang Jingjie had already arrived, and soon all the people Yang Jingjie summoned also arrived.

After everyone had seen the etiquette, Yang Jie smiled and said, "I've been busy these days. Today I have time. Let's take a look at the power of this bayonet array. Master Sun, let's start..."

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

"The drill process is explained by Master Sun. If you don't understand it during the process, Master Sun will also be explained by Master Sun. If you have any questions, you must ask!" Yang Jie said with a smile. The hollow bayonet formation has been released, and there are relatively mature patients. The day of a decisive battle with the wild boar skin is not far away. To be honest, Yang Jie is more willing to kill all the wild boar skins on the battlefield, so it is more straightforward and neat, rather than trying hard to compete with the ministers internally. It is really too tiring. Although he has won the glory and can withstand the torture, only he knows.

"I will obey the order." Several people answered one after another. They had spent a lot of effort to think about the bayonet formation made by the emperor when they went back, but because they could not leak the news, they could only hide in the house and study it secretly. Therefore, there were still many doubts.

After a while, a team of infantry came out of the school ground. They were just ordinary equipment, without armor, shields, etc., but there were some differences in muskets. The muskets were full of bright bayonets.

Sun Chengzong began his own explanation just like the emperor.

"...This square formation is different from the military formation of the former Song Dynasty. It is hollow and is called the hollow bayonet square formation. The number of people can be as large as one or two hundred, or as many as one or two thousand, depending on the situation and needs..." Sun Chengzong explained.

The people off the field began to form a team and gather.

"...To form a smallest hollow bayonet array, generally requires 120 soldiers, each row of ten soldiers, each side of three rows, a total of thirty soldiers, and on all four sides, a total of 120 soldiers are needed. In addition, there are also leaders, lieutenants, drummers, clerks, knights, etc...." Sun Chengzong continued to explain.

As he said that, Sun Chengzong signaled the lieutenant to raise the flag.

As the flag waved by the captain, changes began to occur on the school ground.

The infantrymen on the school field quickly lined up and formed three rows of square formations on four sides according to what Sun Chengzong said, of course, they were hollow.

A team of cavalry also appeared in the distance of this square formation.

"...You all first look at the effect of the cavalry attacking this small square formation." Sun Chengzong said.

After Sun Chengzong said that the cavalry was ready and ready to charge. The infantry team was ready.

In an instant, the cavalry began to charge.

The heavy horse's hooves trampled on the earth, making a dull sound.

"...The cavalry attacked this phalanx, which was nothing more than gathering a little, continuing to attack, or siege all sides, constantly harassing and attacking its flanks. Please see, now, there are more than 100 infantry guards, and there are more than 100 cavalry cavalry. The forces of the two sides are almost the same..." Sun Chengzong continued.

When Sun Chengzong said this, everyone was surprised that one hundred infantrymen would deal with one hundred cavalry. If they were in the city or in the mountains, the woods would be possible, and if they were on the plains or on the grassland, they would basically not be able to win.

The cavalry rushed towards the bayonet formation very quickly. When they rushed to the bayonet formation, the infantry began to fire. Of course, the smoke came out and no cavalry fell down. Instead, the cavalry ran in front of them left. After the fire started, the cavalry did not directly hit the bayonet formation as in actual combat, but instead turned around in circles.

"...If the Donglu cavalry was still like before, and liked to circumvent the infantry's formation in an encirclement posture, shoot arrows and injured in order to see the infantry's formation flaws, or seek the infantry's flanks, then the Donglu really had to pay a huge price. Although this square formation was small, it was almost the same as in all three rows. There were no obvious flanks, but there were more than 100 muskets. Even if there were only 10% of the hits, the Donglu would be extremely difficult to bear. After several shots, it was hard to say whether the Donglu still had the courage to rush into the formation..." Sun Chengzong continued.

Everyone nodded.

"...If this happens, the infantry will win with the same force. Of course, it is quite difficult for infantry to pursue the cavalry, and it is considered to be limited in winning... Of course, if the Donglu attacks a little directly, the situation will be different..." Sun Chengzong said.

Faced with this situation, everyone nodded, especially Qin Liangyu. She was most moved by the fact that his biggest weakness of the white pole soldier was that he did not have enough means of killing and could only defend passively and shoot without muskets. Even if the enemy was tired and could not defeat her, she did not pursue her. She was quite distressed when fighting, especially when dealing with the Donglu, she often felt that she had no place to use her strength. Now that she saw the Emperor's hollow bayonet formation, not to mention anything else, she was just giving it to muskets. With this, she also felt that with this point, she dared to say that the Donglu would not dare to come to her camp.

"...If the Donglu cavalry directly bumped into the square formation with a little bit, the square formation could not do much except relying on strict discipline to resist the death. With the same force, especially with such small-scale forces, it is almost impossible to win..." Sun Chengzong was very frank. It is indeed difficult to win a small square formation for the same number of Donglu cavalry.

"... However, the square formation does not have the ability to protect itself. By firing first, the enemy can take the lead in killing the Donglu cavalry. This is a favorable side. One shot will also cause the lives of several Donglu cavalrymen. Basically, the few cavalrymen who rushed in front of them will definitely die, which will be a considerable blow to morale..." Sun Chengzong explained.

Sun Chengzong explained the advantages and disadvantages of the square formation to several generals, but Yang Jingwei was absent-minded. In addition to occasionally listening to the contents of Sun Chengzong's explanations with his ears, he had more thoughts in salt classes and more things after this. His thoughts had already flown all over the sky.
