"The last will be convicted."

"The lower official is guilty."

"Ben Shuai doesn't want to see you two again today, get out!"

Zheng Chenggong was furious, Chen Kai and Shi Lang also had to withdraw from the study, the two looked at each other one after the other, and glared at each other, and then turned away.

However, at this moment, his head was still held high like a fighting, and when he returned to the room specially reserved for him in Xingyuan, Chen Kai closed the door, but immediately became depressed.

"It's because I overestimated myself too much, and I underestimated Shi Lang too much."

The core point of the dispute between Chen Kai and Shi Lang lies in the difference in tactics and principles. Chen Kai needless to say, if he wants to rely on the Spanish phalanx to modernize Zheng Chenggong's army, the process will be very long, but Chen Kai firmly believes that the modern army will definitely be able to crush the feudal army, because there are too many such examples in history.

However, Shi Lang's emphasis on personal martial arts has been universally accepted by civilian officials and generals for too many years at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true of the Eighth Banner Army, the strongest soldier on the East Asian continent, and at the same time, the battle formation of the Eight Banners Army is also strictly trained, and the ability to endure casualties is stronger, so it will show the superiority of its combat methods.

In fact, since the entry of the Eight Banners Army, the Huahua world immersed in the customs has always been declining, and its combat effectiveness has been weakening, and even decades later, the rebellion of the three feudatories has been reduced to relying on the green battalion to act as the main force and core.

Now, it has only been four years since it entered the customs, and the decline of its combat effectiveness has only just begun, so it does not need to be mentioned. But it is still a powerful proof of Shi Lang's rhetoric, not to mention between the Spanish phalanx and the traditional tactics, Zheng Chenggong is naturally more familiar with the latter, since it is impossible for him to let this army become Chen Kai's experimental field, and be ready to bear the consequences of experimental failure at any time, then as long as Chen Kai does not convince Zheng Chenggong in the first place, he has already failed.

"Those who can leave their names in history are really not good characters. This time I was too big to think that the Spanish phalanx would be competing with each other as soon as they came out, and now I know that this is not the case at all. ”

As Chen Kai expected, two days later, Zheng Chenggong's newly promulgated method of military training had many references to Shi Lang's methods. It is not only the training of the soldiers' personal martial arts, but also the method of building turrets, flags, and the separation of the formation. And Chen Kai only got a word of appeasement, that's all.

Originally, when Shi Lang first arrived, his subordinates were very numerous, which once aroused Zheng Chenggong's vigilance, and only then did there be a tacit understanding between Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong. However, when this newly attached army completed the split, Chen Kai recruited the Wanjia brothers prematurely, which did reduce the proportion of the Shi family's army in Zheng Chenggong's department, but as Shi Lang's threat to Zheng Chenggong decreased, his people also gained Zheng Chenggong's trust faster.

"Damn, this time I pushed too hard, but I lifted a stone and hit myself in the foot."

Chen Kai knew very well that the Spanish phalanx was no longer feasible for Zheng Chenggong, and even if there was a tactic that Zheng Chenggong could accept, he would never risk changing the order to readjust. This time, he really lost completely, and even the next stage of the Ordnance Bureau's production task was appropriately adjusted under Zheng Chenggong's "suggestion".

The production of waist knives and rattan cards should be increased, and the javelin also needs to be improved, and the army has returned to the original feudal army model, Chen Kai's first military modernization reform has failed, but for him, this is only the beginning.

According to his understanding, Qi Jiguang is very good at the use of rattan players, and it can even be said that an all-round military strategist like Qi Jiguang is an extremely rare existence. And Zheng Chenggong is another good at using rattan players after Qi Jiguang, since the Yongli five years Zheng Chenggong trained the shield array at the beginning, the Qing army's local green battalion basically ran into this army to send people to the head, after that, whenever Zheng Chenggong has a large-scale military action, the Qing army must mobilize the provinces to supervise the standard, raise the standard, raise the standard and even the Eight Banners Army to deal with it.

Chen Kai asked himself, he also knew very little about the details of Zheng Chenggong's rattan players' tactics, if he rashly exerted influence, in case Zheng Chenggong's ideas were deviated, it would be a lot of trouble. Originally, I didn't exert too much influence because of this, but looking back now, at least some things are still moving forward according to the original historical process, which may also be a good thing.

"This time, the biggest problem is to compete with an authoritative expert in a field that has no authority, which is really to attack the strengths of the other with one's own shortcomings. There is still a chance, wait, Shi Lang, next time I will definitely not be so lightly defeated. ”

Chen Kai returned to Nan'ao Island, where he spent his second New Year since coming to this era. Due to the fact that the output of the waist knife and the longer gun is much lower, the production task will inevitably increase, but the annual leave and ten-month vacation system, Chen Kai still has not changed, and even let Shi Lang say strange things in Chaozhou City, he is still the same.

In February, Zheng Chenggong suddenly ordered Zhang Li, a local tyrant in Dahaopu, Chaoyang County, to pay taxes according to the regulations, and after being refused, he raised a large army to attack Dahaopu.

Dahao Pu is located in the east of Chaoyang County on Dahao Island, the local tyrant Zhang Li, the junction of Dahao, Qinglin, Xiamei three villages, negative solid self-reliance, not subordinate to the territory, every year to intercept the sea and plunder, and in the process of Zheng Hongkui last year to seize Jieyang County also had a conflict. It can be said that Zheng Chenggong's use of troops this time was a long-planned strategy.

Zheng Chenggong descended from the capital city of Chaozhou, passed through Chenghai County, and arrived at Haozhai by floating sea. In the face of persuasion, Zhang Li refused to return, Zheng Chenggong stationed troops to wait and see, and quickly found out the truth of Zhang Li's department.

"Dahao, Qinglin, Xiamei three villages, each village of 1,000 people, each side is a horn, the road is connected, where it is subjected to the enemy, there must be a hook and ditch trap, must be calculated, so as not to hurt our soldiers."

As Zheng Chenggong said, the three villages are each other's horns, and if one of them is attacked, the other two will naturally rise up to contain them. What's more, in the direction of the attack, Zhang Li has already set a trap, and it is indeed not a fluke that his person can be ranked among the seven great masters of the tide sea.

"I heard that Zhang Li is guarding Qinglin Village, and if I want to capture his people, I must attack Dahao first. If Qinglin and Xiamei Erzhai are not attacked by our army, then Zhang Li will definitely go all out to save each other, so as not to break the momentum of the horns, and then it will be the best time for our army to win! ”

Early the next morning, Zheng Chenggong ordered troops to bombard Dahao Village. For a time, the artillery fell like rain, and the huge advantage of the Ming army's firearms in the firing range made the guards of the village completely in the point of being passively beaten, and at the same time of the artillery bombardment, the Ming army made a big noise, and the beacon tower of Dahao Village soon rose up with wolf smoke and went straight to the sky.

The three villages are horns of each other, and it is natural to rescue each other in order to maximize their defensive effectiveness. When Zhang Li heard the alarm, he hurriedly took his subordinates out of Qinglin Village and traveled all the way. Unexpectedly, just halfway through, Zhongchong Town and Youchong Town, which had already been prepared, slaughtered in a big way. Zhang Li rushed to meet the battle and returned defeated. At the same time, the reinforcements dispatched by Xiameizhai were also ambushed by the reinforcements of the right town and the left chong town, and they fled in rout.

The two reinforcements had been defeated, and Zheng Chenggong did not hesitate to dispatch the right pioneer town and Rongqi town to attack Dahao and Xiamei. The second village was broken, the army turned to attack Qinglin, Zhang Li saw that the situation was overwhelmed, and the city called for surrender. Zheng Chenggong ordered Chen Bin to summon him and allow him to return to his fate.

So far, after Xu Long, Yang Hu, Zhu Yao, and Huang Hairu, the fifth of the seven great Kou of Chaohai - Zhang Li, Dahaopu, Chaoyang County, Ping.
