Liu Pei continued: "There is one more thing that I almost forgot. It's that you have to find a way to let the samurai know that those Western plywood ships are our hired ships, and they are ships of Catholic Spaniards. ”

Liu Jiang asked curiously, "Why do you have to emphasize that you are Catholic Spaniards?" ”

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you can go and get busy." By the way, call them in for a meeting. ”

The reason why Liu Pei wants to throw the black pot on the heads of the Spaniards is that on the one hand, Spain has weakened and the Dutch are rising. Britain is also ready to move, so Liu Pei's next target is the Spaniards, so he planted the blame. On the other hand, within the Wakoku, the shogunate was very dissatisfied with Catholicism. And soon there will be an armed uprising of Catholics against the shogunate. Therefore, it was necessary to make the relationship between the shogunate and the Catholics deteriorate as much as possible.

Liu Jiang quickly called everyone else over for a meeting, and he left. He didn't attend the meeting because his identity was too sensitive to be there. Even if he did, he would only appear as an intelligence provider, and would not say a word.

Soon, the meeting began. Every post-war meeting has become a habit. Everyone sat down together to analyze the strengths and mistakes of this battle, and formed a document and distributed it to the commanders at all levels.

The first and most important element is the analysis of the dead and the wounded. Yesterday, officers at all levels were busy investigating. Each small flag will carefully interrogate every family member under him, and then draw a conclusion and summarize it to the general flag, and then report it to the level of the flag.

The person who read the report today is called Liu Ning, and he is a very good young man. The second group of people who were recruited into the family team. He was rigorous and serious in his work, so he was quickly promoted. This is how good a freshman team is, and talented people are hard to be suppressed.

“…… To sum up, it was the samurai of the Wajin who caused the most damage to our formation! They are extremely strong in melee combat, and have the ability to break through gun formations and shield walls, opening gaps in our formations. If we hadn't had this training, maybe we would have lost this time! So, I personally think that there must be more fighting classes. ”

Liu Pei said: "How did the family members react to this matter? Do they also think that the fighting class will be useful? ”

Liu Ning said: "Based on all the inquiries made by Xiao Qi, as well as some of the soldiers I personally asked, as long as a fighter can entangle a samurai for a moment, they have the ability to kill him. ”

At this time, other people also expressed their positions, reflecting that these samurai were the most destructive. Liu Pei rubbed his chin and said, "Guess what I remembered?" ”

Everyone shook their heads. Liu Pei said: "I think of the white baya of the Houjin Army! These soldiers have done a lot more damage than the samurai of the Japanese people! ”

Everyone asked what was Bai Bayala? Liu Pei popularized it for everyone, and finally said: "The Japanese warriors emphasize the fastness, lightness and accuracy of the attack, but their own defense is poor, like an assassin's short sword. Bai Baya, on the other hand, emphasizes heavy defense and heavy weapons. They were wrapped in two or three layers of heavy armor and armed with heavy weapons, like a warhammer. Now it seems that on the official battlefield, the destructive power of the Japanese warriors is definitely not as good as that of the Baibayala of the Houjin Army! ”

Liu Pei used to instill in his subordinates that Hanyi had other things. So everyone doesn't have a good impression of the Houjin Army, and subconsciously regards the Houjin Army as one of their future opponents.

Qi Qitao squinted his eyes and said, "If you say so, they are wearing several layers of armor, and ordinary weapons will not harm them at all. At the very least, bows and arrows are of little use to them, and heavy weapons must be used against them. The only ones we can do to them at the moment are the Musketeers and Lancers. ”

Wu Yizhou said: "The key is not to let them get close. But it is difficult for us to stop Bai Bayala with our current configuration, especially when they appear, there will definitely be someone to cover them. That's even harder to deal with. ”

Liu Ning said: "Therefore, we must also cultivate hand-to-hand combat soldiers like Bai Bayala. However, this kind of soldier is not very easy to cultivate. First of all, you have to be physically strong, otherwise you can't support heavy armor, and you can't carry heavy weapons and heavy shields. Secondly, they must have martial arts and be able to use various weapons flexibly. Such people are not easy to cultivate. ”

The crowd discussed for a long time, summing up a lot of the requirements of this new hand-to-hand combat soldier. And then conclude that it's too much money! But no matter how much money you spend, you have to cultivate! Liu Pei finally concluded: "If you are not in good health, then practice!" Eat more meat on a regular basis. Like hand-to-hand combatants, they will be provided with more meat in the future. When choosing people, you should choose those who have some martial arts before. Those who don't know martial arts follow the veterans to practice. As for the armor, I'll take it when I go back, and let the blacksmiths beat it when the time comes. Anyway, there shouldn't be too many of these hand-to-hand soldiers. ”

Liu Ning said: "This kind of soldier really doesn't need too much, because every time they are asked to dispatch, it is time to make a final decision!" ”

Liu Pei said: "Then do it!" Immediately discuss their usual supply standards and rules of operation. ”

After some discussion, the number of hand-to-hand combatants, the standard of attack, and the rules of operation were decided. Needless to say, a high-risk class like this has the highest salary and weekday supply. Let's talk about daily supplies. Other households use grain as the staple food, make sure to have vegetables, meat, and adequate fat intake. With hand-to-hand fighters, here they are reversed. They usually eat mainly meat, supplemented by a small amount of staple foods and vegetables. Because this class of troops is too hard, they have to keep boiling up their bodies and practicing martial arts every day. Once the nutrition can't keep up, the body will be dragged down.

After one thing passed, Liu Ning picked up the second report and began to read. Finally, he concluded: "According to statistics, the most lethal to the enemy in this operation was the firecracker. The casualties they inflicted were about sixty and a half percent of the total casualties. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the number of musketeers and reduce the number of sword-and-shield men and pikemen in some parts. ”

Everyone was happy when it came to it! Liu Pei's firecrackers are different from those of other countries. Because the firecrackers themselves are already very long, and with a very long bayonet, the firecrackers finally have the ability to fight in close combat. Just like in the last moments of this battle, the musketeers used their bayonets to independently destroy the reserves of Hisaka Kayama, and the casualties were not great. Although there is a problem of numerical superiority, it cannot hide the sharpness of the firecracker.

It would be miserable if someone from other countries approached! They have no melee defense, except for turning them upside down as sticks. On the battlefield of the Wa Kingdom, it only takes one samurai to bring a few ashigaru to disperse a large group of iron gunners, which is really not boasting!

So the resolution was adopted very quickly. However, the ratio of musketeers to most pikemen is tentatively set at a ratio of 2:1:1.

The meeting lasted longer than usual. Because this is the first time they have fought against a regular army, there are many problems exposed. For example, the pikemen wanted the spear to be about a foot longer because they had a shield in front of them to block them, which was tantamount to artificially shortening the spear. So it's hard to deal with the spear!

There are many questions like this, and everyone patiently discusses and deals with them one by one. But Liu's team also grows after each meeting. At the end of the meeting, Liu Pei also gave everyone a briefing. He said that after returning to Shandong this time, the army will be reorganized immediately. Everyone asked what was going on, but Liu Pei didn't say more.

Early the next morning, Liu Pei called someone to call Liu Dahai. As soon as Liu Dahai entered the door, he gave Liu Pei Shili and said, "Owner, you call me?" ”

When Liu Pei saw Liu Dahai coming, he put down his pen and said, "Sit down first." ”

After Liu Dahai sat down, Liu Pei also poured Liu Dahai a cup of tea with his own hands. Liu Dahai was flattered and said, "Boss, if there is anything you command!" ”

Liu Pei said: "There is really an important thing for you to do this time. Well, I'm going to send you to Shimazu's house, as an envoy. ”
