Chapter 482 Salt Introduction

Sun Chengzong explained, and everyone nodded again and again, but Man Gui couldn't hold it back, looking like he had something to say, Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor, the emperor was already looking too empty, obviously his mind was not here.

"Zhongming, you seem to have something to say." Sun Chengzong asked Man Gui with a smile. The word Mangui was given by the emperor.

"Elder Huige, yes, there will be something to say in the end." Man Gui saw that no one belittled the cavalry, and as a loyal supporter of the cavalry, as well as a practitioner and master, he felt pain in the hollow phalanx of this kind of foot soldier against the cavalry. In his opinion, there is no need for the emperor to engage in any infantry phalanx to deal with the Dongyu, as long as he has trained fifty or sixty thousand jīng sharp cavalry, he can level the Dongyu, and he still has to think so much? Although he was taught a lesson by Sun Chengzong, but, obviously, he was not very convinced, the bigger reason is that looking at the current posture, the emperor wants to use the infantry as the main force and the cavalry as the cooperation, then, in the future, the decisive battle with the Dongyu, the cavalry is at most a supporting role, so it has to fight, doesn't it mean that people fight for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a stick ......of incense?

"Say whatever you want." Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Back to the elder, the last general thinks, it's really hard to believe, relying on this more than 100 foot soldiers can fight more than 100 cavalry, if it is the last general to lead the team, just one charge, this foot soldier phalanx will collapse, once this square is broken, those foot soldiers must be scattered, the last general only needs to follow and kill......" Man Gui thought for a few days, and was sad for a few days, I really couldn't figure it out, why would the emperor be this infantry phalanx, why this infantry phalanx could restrain the cavalry? He also admitted that this phalanx of foot soldiers does have some advantages, but it is a little difficult for him to clear the advantages in it, the emperor does not let them leak secrets, he can't even find someone to discuss, a person has been pitifully tormented for several days, today, I really can't hold it back.

"......" Sun Chengzong looked at Man Gui with a distressed face, and could only smile.

"Everyone, please see, this musket and bayonet, six feet long, if the Eastern cavalry hit, it will definitely hit the musket, although it can open a gap, but it is also certain death, so, the Eastern cavalry to rush into battle, must have enough courage and courage, but also be prepared to rush in front of the person must die, this is a great test, once the people in front of them can not stand the pressure, turn instead, it will become a situation of besieging the bayonet formation, Zhongming, I ask you, you lead the team to rush into battle, Are you going to rush to the front or to the back......" Sun Chengzong asked.

"This ...... The last general led the team to rush into battle, and he has always taken the lead...... "Man Gui originally answered the latter sentence without hesitation, but thinking about what Sun Chengzong just said, the few who ran in the front would definitely die, Man Gui hesitated again, and then thought about the scene where he hit his head on the bayonet, and then chuckled in his heart, and then changed the words of the exit, no one wants to hang on the bayonet! Although you can kill one or two foot soldiers......

"How? Is Zhongming afraid? If you rush in front of you, you will die! Sun Chengzong said with a smile on his face.

"Then ......, then the general will go around the ......" Man Gui was indeed a little afraid, he wanted to say that he was going around in circles, but he felt that that circle was all muskets, and he would die faster when he hit horses and circled them. I didn't say any more, I thought about it, and said, "...... The last general sent people who dared to die to forcibly collide with the formation...... "Man Gui said that the road that Sun Chengzong said went up, and directly and continuously collided a little, which was the greatest damage to this phalanx.

"Yes, if Zhongming fights for some casualties and hits a little bit, this phalanx is indeed easy to break......" Sun Chengzong admitted the weakness of this phalanx.

At this time, Man Gui's head was full of paste, and he was only a little sober, no one explained to him, no one reasoned with him, and let him constantly sketch the military formation of the foot soldiers in his mind, which was quite torture.

Everyone also listened and nodded constantly, and many things were completely conceivable for those of them who had been fighting horses for many years.

“…… If the Dongyu cavalry is not afraid of the dead and wounded hard impact bayonet formation, the bayonet formation also has the means, this bayonet formation is hollow, even if it is knocked open by the Dongyu cavalry, as long as it is quickly closed, it is still a phalanx, and it can still guard against the impact of the Dongyu......" Sun Chengzong continued to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the hollow bayonet phalanx.

“…… Of course, the infantry used this hollow phalanx to defend against the Donglu cavalry, and it was necessary to rely on strict organization, strict discipline, and the determination to die, otherwise, it would not be enough to resist the Dongyu cavalry......" Sun Chengzong said the advantages and disadvantages, and also said the requirements for organizing the hollow phalanx. ,

Man Gui couldn't hold it back for a long time, and said: "Pavilion Elder, where are there such foot soldiers who are not afraid of death?" According to the general, in the flat land, or on the grassland, a group of foot soldiers saw a large force of cavalry rushing over, and their legs were frightened, where could they still guard against the impact of cavalry? Man Gui finally found a place to vent his anger, and in the past few days, he has been suffocated. I can't discuss with others, and I'm holding my breath by myself.

Sun Chengzong's recent smile has been more, and he has become much more cheerful, seeing Man Gui's distressed face, he already knows what Man Gui thinks, why do he say this, and said with a smile: "Zhensu, tell me, is there such a pawn in this world?" ”

Sun Chengzong did not explain how strict the training of the new army was, how strict the discipline was, and how strict it would be, and it would definitely be able to withstand the charge of the Eastern Cavalry, but directly asked Qin Liang This is a real battle, there are ready-made records, and there are actual battles, so it is naturally more convincing than anything.

"Back to the old pavilion, whether others can defend it, Su Zhen doesn't know, but Zhen Su is confident that he can do it, hehe, is it impossible for Mandu to believe Zhen Su?" Qin Liangyi first replied to Sun Chengzong's words, and then spoke to Man Gui with a faint smile.

Man Gui wanted to argue, but seeing that Qin Liang's words followed, he didn't know how to say it, there are really such soldiers in the world, and he has fought with Dongyu, and he has seen it with his own eyes.

“…… But, at that time, you used a white-pole spear, a full one zhang six, the gun was as dense as a hedgehog, it was really difficult to start, I Mangui also dared to say that he would be able to break your spear array, but now the musket is only six feet, so short, I can break ......it at once with a dead soldier and a man and a horse, and I can break it at once" Man Gui didn't dare to say big words in the face of Qin Liang, the spear formation of the white pole soldier, he had seen, the spear like a hedgehog was so dense that it was aimed at you, no matter how brave you are, you have to be frightened, even if you even rush up with people and horses, It's just the end of hanging on the gun, the cavalry can't even reach the white pole soldiers, thinking of this, Man Gui even spoke half a little, but there is also a new reason, the white pole soldiers are very long, even people and horses rush up, they will only hang on the gun, but now this musket is so short, desperately rushing up, it can break through the phalanx.

"Mandu Governor's words are bad, the weakness of the white pole soldier is that there is no sharp weapon for attack and counterattack, although this phalanx uses a musket, which seems to be shorter, and has less defensive power than the white pole, but the governor should not forget that the musket can hit, in fact, it is to extend the distance of the attack to a hundred steps, and within a hundred steps are within the range of my killing, the governor wants to rush into battle, I am afraid it will be more difficult......" On the scene, it suddenly became Qin Liang Y- and Man Gui played against each other. A natural cavalryman, a natural foot pawn, fighting against the table, is also easy to understand.

Seeing the two generals arguing with different opinions, Sun Chengzong smiled and said: "You don't have to argue, the old man will come to a conclusion." ”

When the two of them saw Sun Chengzong talking, they immediately stopped arguing. Wait for Sun Chengzong to speak.

"Zhongming is right, if it is a small-scale military formation, it is indeed difficult to guard against cavalry raids, and it cannot withstand the successive charges......" Sun Chengzong explained with a smile.

After hearing this, Man Gui felt that it was reasonable, if the foot soldiers could easily guard against the impact of the cavalry, then why did he need the cavalry? Man Gui, whose head has been blocked severely, is a little better.

“…… However, the decisive battle between him and Dongyu is by no means a small phalanx against Dongyu......" Sun Chengzong continued. When he said that he would fight a decisive battle with Dongyu, everyone cheered and listened carefully.

“…… Let's take a look at the changes in this phalanx......" Sun Chengzong said, and then motioned to the captain on the side, who got the news and waved the flag in his hand again and again.

There was an immediate change on the school field, and several teams of foot soldiers came out, and like the previous team of foot soldiers, they were also lined up in a hollow phalanx, three squares in a row, and three rows formed a larger one, with nine large squares composed of nine hollow squares, and between each small square, there were gaps, which were quite neat.

With such a change, the phalanx of foot soldiers, which had been slightly thin before, immediately became thick and imposing. Layers of bayonets, shining in the sun, a slaughter.

"Zhongming, if you are given the same number of cavalry at this time, how will you charge into battle?" Sun Chengzong did not explain, and asked Man Gui directly.

Man Gui was also stunned when he saw this thickened phalanx of foot soldiers, this phalanx, like the previous small phalanx, if you look for flaws around him and kill around him, it will definitely not work, the layers of muskets are not vegetarian, speaking of which, it is just a little rush, or a noodle. ,

"Back to the elder, at this time, the last general can still only rush a certain point, however, this phalanx is composed of several small phalanxes, the last general rushes to any of them, in fact, it is no different from rushing a certain side, it is bound to be hit by the other two sides, in this way, the casualties must be doubled, if you want to break the formation, you will inevitably have more casualties ......, this array is the same on all sides, and there are no flanks, except for constantly impacting a certain side, there is no good way......" Man Gui looked at it for a long time, and said with some solemnity, the original messy head, seeing the real thing, When I saw the actual situation, I became much more sober and told the truth.

"Yes, Zhongming is right, a single phalanx is too thin, it is very difficult to deal with the impact of cavalry, if there are several small phalanxes to form a large phalanx, then the power will be reflected, at this time, some special functions, can also be reflected......, please see ......" Sun Chengzong signaled again.

The captain who was in charge of waving the flag immediately waved the flag in his hand, and the school field changed again.

Hundreds of cavalry began to charge, and the same infantry phalanx fired, still withdrawing some cavalry......

“…… Do you see the problem? Tadaaki? Sun Chengzong asked, asked, and then asked Man Gui.

"Back to the elder, I see some problems, the cavalry is relatively scattered, the infantry phalanx is not very dense, each phalanx is twenty steps long, three phalanxes, a total of more than sixty steps, plus the gap in the middle, there are nearly seventy steps, ......seventy steps can pass twenty or thirty horses at the same time, but this, not much, only seven or eight horses...... Man Gui said suspiciously.

"Didn't Mandu want to rush in a dense formation? The Governor of Mandu has forgotten, but the elder of the Pavilion has said that this phalanx, but with the help of artillery, the Governor has become a live target in this dense formation? Qin Liangyi saw that Man Gui said that a row of twenty or thirty horsemen rushed into battle, and immediately retorted.

Man Gui listened to Qin Liangy-'s words, his face was also red, and his language was a stopper, he was indeed a bit of a layman when he said this, twenty or thirty cavalry in a row, such a dense cavalry, the musketeer could hit it even with his eyes closed, not to mention the blood groove ploughed out by the cannon fire, it was really a live target.

"Yes, there are only seven or eight horsemen on each side, in fact, it is not less, no more, as Su Zhen said, I am afraid that the Dongyu may not be willing to fill the ...... with human lives, Su Zhen said, the power of this formation, the artillery will not be said for the time being, and I will talk about it later...... Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Back to the elder, the lower officials think that this infantry phalanx is slightly sparse, and does not form a tight formation, if according to what the elder said, each small phalanx is composed of four hundred and twenty people, each side should have one hundred and twenty people, three rows, each row has forty people, forty people squeeze out, it can be squeezed down within twenty steps, in this way, a small phalanx has one hundred and twenty poles of large internal construction, three small phalanxes one side, there are three hundred and sixty large internal formations, so Qi power, Dongyu does not pay some price, don't want to get close to the phalanx! If you follow the training level of His Majesty's new army now, you can completely injure more than a hundred enemies......" Qin Liang said with a smile. The emperor trained the new army with a large amount of live ammunition, and Ouchi was a famous good gun, and Qin Liang Y- dared to say that one out of three or four shots.

Listening to Qin Liang Y-this, everyone is also suffocated, a fire will lose on the white jīng rui, if the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers, I'm afraid they should all be dispersed, the combat effectiveness of the Ming generals comes from the family, the family accounts for one or two percent, it is very common, all of a sudden went to half of the family, this battle will not have to fight, if it is to fight their own Ming internal officials, it is estimated that as long as they fire once, the battle should be over......

On one side of the seventy steps, in the face of more than 300 rods of Da Nei, Man Gui muttered, and those who rushed to the front were bound to die! This is really a test of will, Man Gui muttered for a long time before he said: "Go back to the old pavilion, in this way, the last general can only continue to assault with all his strength, and he will not give up without dying......" Man Gui thought for a long time, and he could only do this, of course, he didn't dare to say anything about twenty or thirty horsemen lining up in a row to assault, in that way, it would be a cannon again.

"Well, yes, if at this time, the Dongyu cavalry still ignores the impact of the dead and wounded, maybe there is still a chance, but, Zhongming, don't forget, Ouchi's damage on eighty steps is very powerful, at sixty steps, well-trained soldiers can do five in one, or four in one, or higher, how many centaurs have you gone at this time?" Sun Chengzong asked.

Man Gui was silent for a long time, rushing into battle, relying on the general to take the lead in rushing, in order to have combat power, but now, the leader to rush to the battle will undoubtedly die, he will be in trouble, if the people who take the lead are all dead, then it will be a fart battle! It's no wonder that the people in the back are not scattered. Of course, maybe Donglu is better than him, maybe he is not afraid of death, after Sun Chengzong reminded him again, Man Gui had to admit that Qin Liang Y-made sense. ,

“…… Let's not talk about this for the time being, let's see the miraculous effect of this phalanx once it is formed......" Sun Chengzong looked at Man Gui with a helpless expression, and then motioned to the captain.

The lieutenant had also been listening to Sun Chengzong's conversation with several officers leading the troops, and after Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he immediately waved his flag.

The cavalry on the school field began to charge. The infantry still set their muskets, but, strangely, when the cavalry rushed to the infantry phalanx, they dispersed and ran towards the gap between the two phalanxes.

“…… You may not believe it, but if there is a gap between the two phalanxes, the horse is not willing to hit the tip of the knife, and must run towards the gap, which is a very interesting thing......" Sun Chengzong explained strangely.

For this strange phenomenon, everyone has also tried, in front of the horse, with the bayonet dangling, sure enough, the horse is easily frightened, if you let the horse hit the tip of the knife, the horse will avoid, Sun Chengzong said, everyone is a strange expression, Man Gui is also a strange expression, even the horse's habits are taken into account, this battle is really racking brains.

Speaking of this, the school field is already billowing gunsmoke, the cavalry continues to assault the weak parts of the four corners, and there are constantly cavalry and foot soldiers retreating, with the cavalry regardless of the casualties, the infantry phalanx on the four corners, finally unable to resist and dispersed, but, unlike the ordinary rout, they broke up not to run around, but to drag everyone to the latter phalanx, in this phalanx to seek refuge, the back phalanx began to take over the battle, and the cavalry needed to start charging again, Facing a new phalanx of foot soldiers......

Seeing this, many people have already understood the power of this hollow bayonet array, as Sun Ge Lao said before, the biggest difference between this formation and the traditional military formation is that the rout is only one of the routs, not the previous kind of rout, all lost.

“…… You have also seen that another advantage of this small phalanx forming a large phalanx is that it is not afraid of rout, even if it is broken into and scattered by the enemy cavalry, it will not collapse on the whole line, it only needs to be organized and orderly transferred to the left, right, and rear phalanx, and the latter phalanx can continue to ......fight with a new attitude," Sun Chengzong explained.

Everyone saw something, and watched the nine small phalanxes become five phalanxes, although the four phalanxes were reduced, as if the strength had been greatly reduced, in fact, the loss was not much, and the remaining phalanxes, because of the addition of soldiers, became more solid.

On the contrary, the charging cavalry looked more and more tired, and the charge began to become less and less powerful, not as powerful as before.

"Look at it again, such a benefit is also the problem of the wounded, because the large military formation is still there, so the wounded can be withdrawn completely, which has a considerable effect on the morale and morale of the army, and this hollow interior is a good place to place the wounded...... everyone often says, no worries, the benefit of this array, that is, to take care of the worries......" Sun Chengzong introduced.

Everyone really felt what Sun Chengzong said, those small army formations that collapsed, in fact, more than half of the "casualties" were at most, and some were only one or two percent of the casualties, but they also dragged and dragged some people who might be "wounded" to the rear phalanx, and the people in the small army formation were not too panicked because they had a way to live and retreat, and they were not too panicked, and the orderly attack, the enemy, and the unhurried retreat were completely different from the previous situation of breaking up in front and fleeing from the wind.

“…… This is just a small means, the real power is still to come, once the decisive battle with the Dongyu, it must be dozens of phalanxes to form a large phalanx, a face is not three hundred rods of the inner building, but one or two thousand rods of the inner construction, according to the training level of the new army, within eighty steps, it is completely possible to achieve one of the four, that is to say, one photo, the eastern prisoner will lose hundreds of jīng sharp, the old man does not know how much determination the chief can make...... "Sun Chengzong said.

Everyone has seen a miniature version of the battle, and they also understand the advantages and disadvantages of this hollow phalanx. Quietly listened to Sun Chengzong's introduction.

"A large-scale decisive battle will definitely be supplemented by artillery and cavalry, and will not be completely infantry against cavalry, the position of the artillery, from left to right, the idea of the general staff, is arranged in the fourth phalanx, so that every side can be supported by artillery fire to prevent a large-scale dense attack of the eastern captives, as long as the eastern captives cannot rush to the death in a dense formation, there is no need to fear the eastern captiv......es at all," Sun Chengzong concluded. ,

"Elder Ge, what about the cavalry? Is there a location? "Man Gui has seen the miniature version of the infantry phalanx battle, and he has somewhat understood some of the fame, and he is no longer as m-paste as his head before, knowing that the emperor is really going to use the hollow phalanx of infantry against the enemy, this kind of hollow phalanx, the larger the scale, especially the battle of tens of thousands of people, supplemented by artillery, the cavalry wants to rush into battle, it is simply looking for death, and it will be dead at the moment, with the decisive battle of cavalry against cavalry, Man Gui does not dare to think about it, this matter, I still have to listen to the emperor, I immediately hung my head down, saw that Sun Chengzong did not mention the cavalry, and asked again, the supporting role is the supporting role, don't make it so that you can't even do the supporting role, then it's miserable.

“…… As Su Zhen said, the weakness of the foot soldiers is that they cannot pursue the cavalry who have been exhausted and scattered, and you have also seen the situation on the school field, although the cavalry is tired, but the foot soldiers are helpless against the cavalry, so what the cavalry has to do is to resist the Dongyu at the critical moment, give the foot soldiers a chance to line up, and then chase and kill the tired and scattered enemy...... "Sun Chengzong said.

Everyone nodded their heads, and although they didn't fully understand it, they were roughly clear.

"As I said before, the most critical thing in this formation is the coordinated combat ...... of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, so we must have the strictest training, the strictest discipline, and the will to turn a blind eye to death ......, and we must trust each other, coordinate with each other, and supplement each other, which is the key to winning the war." Sun Chengzong said.

Everyone nodded again, constantly digesting Sun Chengzong's words.

“…… Of course, there are also a lot of weaknesses in this formation, who can talk about the weaknesses of this formation? Sun Chengzong finished his lecture and began to test everyone again.

Everyone was still digesting Sun Chengzong's words, and they were still confused, and for a while, they didn't know what to say. Qin Liang Y-But it is different, this battle formation is completely tailored for her white pole soldiers, for understanding this formation, she already has a complete understanding, hearing Sun Chengzong's question, immediately said: "Hui Ge Lao, this battle formation is a battle formation of infantry against cavalry, dealing with cavalry, there is a miraculous effect of restraint, but such a dense formation, but it is extremely afraid of artillery bombardment, and if the other party has artillery, this formation will be dangerous......"

Qin Liang y-As soon as he said, everyone understood, indeed, such a dense crowd gathered together, although the firepower is strong, but they are also afraid that the enemy has a cannon, once the enemy's cannon fires, that cannon will come down to the ground and be a blood groove!

"Well, yes, it seems that Su Zhen understands this formation very thoroughly, this formation is set up specifically for cavalry, and the most afraid thing is that the enemy also has cannons, so this formation will be dangerous, but, fortunately, there is no artillery on the Donglu side now, and there were some last time, but they were all knocked out during the battle of Zhenjiang Fort, and now, there is no decent artillery in the Donglu, of course, the premise is that the Jin merchants and salt merchants of the Ming Dynasty did not smuggle the Donglu again......" Sun Chengzong said with some weird smiles.

Listening to Sun Chengzong said that the Jin merchants and salt merchants were captured, these people here all had different thoughts in their hearts, the salt merchants had been in the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years, how many generations of emperors had no way to take the salt merchants, and the salt merchants could not suck the blood of the Chinese people, but when they came to the current emperor, they were uprooted, which shows the ability and courage of the current emperor, and they secretly looked at the emperor, and saw that the emperor looked too empty, and turned their heads one after another. If you don't pull out the salt merchants, when it comes to the decisive battle with Dongyu, Donglu doesn't know where to get some artillery, it will be a big loss.

"Su Zhen knows, what are the weaknesses?" Sun Chengzong saw that everyone's faces were dark, and asked again.

"Back to the elder pavilion, this formation, I am still afraid of the same musket camp, if the same musket camp fights, it is really a queue to be shot! It's the courage and will of both sides that fight......" Qin Liang thought about it and said again.

"Yes, Su Zhen is right, once this phalanx meets the same phalanx, it will completely become a situation of queuing up to shoot, and it is just ...... the courage and will of both sides, so this phalanx is specially designed for the decisive battle with the Dongyu on the peaceful grassland, and the bullying is that the Donglu has no artillery, no foot soldiers, only ......cavalry, according to the deduction of the General Staff, next year the Donglu will definitely come to besiege the city, in anticipation of the encirclement point reinforcements, the idea of the General Staff is to use the city to resist to the death, the frontier cities, It is not a problem to make up for the food and grass to resist for half a year, and it can buy time for the training of the infantry phalanx,...... The key is how to save the soldiers, according to the wishes of the Donglu to save the besieged city, this is definitely not conducive to my Ming Dynasty, the consideration of the General Staff, open up the second battlefield, land on the Sancha River, attract the Donglu to fight, when the time comes, the Donglu will not only besiege the city, but also come to fight on the side of my Sancha River landing, the Donglu forces will definitely be dispersed, if you count the Dongjiang town marshal to contain it, the Dongyu old nest defends, the Sancha River, it is estimated that the strength will not be too high, at best only thirty or forty thousand people, jīng Rui should not exceed 10,000, when the time comes, put out this infantry phalanx against the enemy, then the eastern prisoner saw that it was a infantry phalanx, he must think that it was easy to bully, and he would definitely attack, and when the time came, he would give the eastern prisoner a surprise...... "Sun Chengzong affirmed Qin Liangy-'s statement, and also evaluated the strength and weakness of this phalanx, and combined it with the deduction of the staff department to explain the battle next year. ,

Everyone also took a breath and lined up to be shot? That's really a "good word", that's really a test of people's will! Everyone knows a little about the deduction of the General Staff, after listening to what Sun Chengzong said, and seeing this hollow foot soldier phalanx, I have a deeper impression of next year's war.

“…… The size of the infantry phalanx, the staff is estimated to be about 20,000 people, the core is Su Zhen's white pole soldiers mixed with the new army training, the artillery is also counted, the cavalry is also extra, the total strength is expected to be ......comparable to the strength of the second battlefield Dongyu," Sun Chengzong continued to explain.

Everyone nodded again, the total strength is comparable, according to the power of this infantry phalanx to resist the cavalry, but they are really not afraid of the enemy cavalry, many people secretly looked at Qin Liang and saw that the commander of the white pole soldiers was happy, and the odds in their hearts were greater, Qin Liang y-relying on the white pole soldiers alone can fight with the Dongyu, and now the emperor has strengthened the muskets, cannons, and cavalry, if he can't win, then there is really a ghost.

The drill on the school field is also coming to an end, the cavalry responsible for the attack is already exhausted, and the foot soldiers in the infantry phalanx are still five hollow phalanxes, still firing in an orderly manner, they are not afraid of cavalry at all, and the cavalry is becoming less and less courageous to impact the infantry phalanx, the continuous firepower, it is really impossible to get to the side, not ready to die, rushing up is a death, once the place rushes up, there is no way back, of course, in the face of the cavalry in the distance, the foot soldiers have no good way, can only stare dryly.

Sun Chengzong was explaining to everyone, everyone was still listening carefully, the emperor was still in the fugue, a eunuch hurriedly ran over, Wang Chengen hurried over and asked what was going on.

When he looked back, Wang Chengen was already smiling from ear to ear.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a happy event, a great happy event!" Wang Chengen reported the good news in front of the emperor.

“…… Oh, oh, what a happy event? Yang Gengai woke up from the fugue and saw that the drills on the school field were almost over, so he realized that he had been in a trance, and he had gone for a long time.

"Back to Your Majesty, the British Duke, the Chengguo Duke and other nobles all played together, all said that they were inspired by the acting king, and they were all ashamed to hold the salt with the salt merchants, and they were ashamed to profit with the salt, and felt that they were sorry for Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty, so they all volunteered to donate the salt in their hands to show their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and asked Your Majesty to decide." Wang Chengen said with a smile, and the eunuch next to him who came to report the news was holding a stack of notebooks and smirking at the emperor.

The generals listened to Wang Chengen's report, they were all shocked, the emperor's means were really step by step, dazzling first sent Qin to check the salt merchants, and then the vassal kings and nobles offered salt, then, next, it must be a legitimate salt change class, this step by step, it is really any omission to let go! Do not give the "enemy" any chance.

"Oh, and such a good thing? Hehe, it can't be that I have taken a fancy to the stocks I have rewarded, these nobles are really ......" Yang Reform said with a smile, this group of people is quite positive, the front foot is only down, and the back foot handed over the notebook, sure enough, this community of interests is different, there is motivation to do everything, and the action is so fast.

Liu Yanyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, has been pondering the matter of this hollow infantry phalanx, pondering how many chances he has to win against the Dongyu, he is the most unfamiliar with this infantry phalanx, neither knows how the cavalry fights, nor does he know how the infantry fights, listening to Sun Chengzong said, he only thinks it is very powerful, listening to Qin Liang Y- and Man Gui arguing, I also feel very powerful, listening to Sun Chengzong's conclusion, but also feels that the Ming Dynasty will win, and his heart is happy. This word shouted by Qiao Yunsheng is the most suitable to describe the emperor, but, thinking about it, Liu Yanyuan feels that it is not right, this is not an open fire battle, this should be about Yang Mou, so above board that you have to obey it, you have to do it, once this Yang Mou is launched, once it is successful, you can have thousands of yīn schemes, and it is not the opponent of Yang Mou, such as people today, that is not to shout and kill the salt merchants? The emperor will take back the salt introduction in such an open and honest way, and reform the salt class, which one in the world dares to stop it? Look at the generals around you, the general trend of the world is nothing more than this!

"Hehe, since the nobles are so loyal, I can't brush off their kindness, so let's accept them all, in addition, the decree is praised, as for the reward, hehe, let's talk about it in the future, first give a commendation, well, and then let the Di Bao publicize this matter well, so that the ministers of the world can learn from them......" Yang Reform accepted it very logically, these nobles are afraid that they have been waiting for their own order to change the salt class. ,

"Slave obeys the order...... Wang Chengen immediately replied with a smile, such a good thing, this is simply a joy!

When the generals saw that the emperor had finished his work lightly, they all stood up.

"What's the matter, Master Sun, the drill is over? The result? "Yang reformed Jiā to finish the matter of salt introduction, and began to deal with this matter again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the drill is over, and the effect is okay!" Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh, that's good, I will summon a few people to see this formation today, just so that you can understand my strategy, he will go your separate ways, and you can't contact each other in real time, so you can only rely on the understanding of this strategic arrangement to run in and cooperate with each other." Yang Gai said.

"Your Ministers understand." The crowd replied.
