Chapter 481: Queue Shooting Tactics

Du Dalei was immediately deflated: "Yanei, you really can't open any pot, Lao Tzu is just talking, don't take it seriously." ”

Tai Qin asked: "Xiao Zhao, just now Liang Daguan said that this arquebus is slow to fire, how can you solve this?" ”

Du Dalei said confidently: "How to solve it? There's no thing that can't be solved by standing in line to be shot. If it can't be solved, it is that there are not enough people, as long as we train a large number of musketeers and rely on the advantage of numbers to make up for the problem of slow arquebus firing, there will be no problem at all. ”

"What's the thing about queuing up to be shot? Lao Du, you can explain. Gao Yanei asked puzzled.

"The 'line-up tactic' is also known as the 'line-up tactic'. On the battlefield, the soldiers should follow the sound of the drums, line up in a horizontal line, and approach the enemy at a uniform pace, generally with the army evenly arranged along the front, spread out into two or three lines. The lines were 50 to 200 paces apart, and each line was divided into 3 to 6 columns, with the infantry in the center and the cavalry on the flanks.

The infantry marched in full order at a slow pace (75 steps per minute). Line tactics increased the effectiveness of firing weapons and the role of infantry fire. However, this kind of combat formation is rigid, inflexible in rotation, and can only adapt to open terrain, which is inconvenient for maneuvering.

Due to the low accuracy of the early arquebus, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of the firearm through line tactics, otherwise a battle may not be hit by one person. Du Dalei introduced the line tactics to everyone.

"Isn't this a very powerful queue to shoot, after all, the arquebus is too slow to fire." Gao Yanei was a little unimpressed.

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said, "Yanei, you still don't understand the power of the large-scale use of arquebuses." Think about it, if we had 5,000 soldiers armed with arquebuses marching into battle in a neat line.

If the soldiers were in five columns, and a thousand men were firing at a time, the soldiers would return to reload when they had finished firing. Then the other soldiers fired in turn, forming a continuous barrage.

If you think about it, if each soldier fires ten buckshots in battle, five thousand soldiers will fire fifty thousand buckshots. You say that the army in the world can withstand such a blow? Even the most powerful Khitan iron rider can't do it. ”

Everyone took a breath of cool air, if Zhao Zizhong said that the queue was shot so badly, then Seven Seas Company would be invincible in the world!

Wei ~ Hongye saw that everyone opened their mouths wide, happily dreaming of sweeping the world, so he persuaded: "Okay, I've seen the arquebus, it's getting dark, I guess you should be hungry." Let's go, it's rare for you to come once, today I'm in for a treat, go for a big meal. ”

Du Dalei asked: "Old Wei, don't be in a hurry to eat, I heard that you also got artillery, can you let us take a look?" ”

Wei ~ Hongye smiled: "You said well, the artillery was made, but only a few small cannons similar to the tiger squat cannon were made, which is not interesting, so I won't show it to everyone." ”

When Gao Yanei heard that there were still good things, he immediately felt itchy.

"Mr. Wei, you are hanging everyone's appetite. I guess what kind of artillery can I talk about, it must be a great killer, you can take us to see it? ”

Wei ~ Hongye nodded: "Yanei, it's no problem to see, but it's a little late today, and the craftsmen will finish work in a while, so let's go see it tomorrow." You're here today, and I finally have a chance to get off work early, so you just let me be lazy. ”

When everyone heard what Wei ~ Hongye said, their hearts were sour. Lao Wei usually doesn't like to talk, but he is indeed a practical talent. Seven Seas' industrial system was built by him. In addition to Haiyan, all the products of Seven Seas Company that make money are the fruits of the hard work of Wei ~ Hongye and the craftsmen. Therefore, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and the credit of Wei ~ Hongye is extremely significant.

Looking at the black and thin appearance of *industry, everyone is very distressed.

Du Dalei hugged his neck and smiled: "Okay, I'm really hungry, tell me, what is delicious in this begging?" ”

"Don't say it, there are really a lot of good things in Liuqiu, not to mention the seafood in the sea, wild boars in the mountains, and sika deer are very good. And the snake soup is also a rare delicacy......"

Everyone talked and laughed, under the leadership of the most Wei ~ Hongye, he crossed several mountains and came to an open mountain valley.

There are many houses here, and it has become a lively village and town.

Entering the main road of the town, everyone saw a forest of shops on both sides of the road, selling all kinds of goods. There are also many restaurants and taverns in the middle of it, and many people come and go very lively.

"Old Wei, you are really good, you have made a small town so quickly." Du Dalei sighed.

"It's not my credit, it's all done by Liu Shiyuan and Zheng Debao. I'm so busy all day long, how can I have time to take care of these little things. Wei ~ Hongye said.

Zhao Zizhong was very pleased: "Liu Shiyuan and Zheng Debao have done a good job, and they should be praised." ”

Wei ~ Hongye walked to the door of a tavern and stopped, "The food in this tavern is very good, the owner is an immigrant from Fuzhou, let's eat here." ”

Everyone looked at the sign of the tavern, which was engraved with the words "Tian Ji".

Walking into the tavern, there is not a lot of space inside, and there are six or seven square tables. The tavern was clean, and the smell of meat wafted from the back kitchen.

A young man in his twenties, dark-skinned, tall and thin, with a smile on his face:

"Mr. Wei, welcome to the shop, are these all your guests?"

"Xiao Tian, these are all distinguished guests from Qishan Island, if there is anything delicious, you can just serve it." * karma laughed.

Du Dalei asked again: "Boss, I smell a fragrance, what do you do delicious?" Can you give me a taste? ”

The young man replied, "Sir, today I bought a sika deer, and then stewed a pot of venison, and if you want to eat it, I will take it." ”

Zhao Zizhong asked: "Little boss, you said that the deer was bought, who hit this deer, can you tell me?" ”

The young man said: "It was made by the natives in the mountains, and it cost me the usual 0300 wen to buy it." ”

Wei ~ Hongye explained: "You may not know, now the natives in the mountains have caught their prey, and they will take it to the market and sell it. Then they bought grain, salt, cloth, ironware, tea and other necessities from the shops. Now the local people have a good relationship with us, and many of them still work in our workshops to earn money. ”

Everyone sat down, and the young man soon brought a large clay pot full of steaming chunks of venison.

Looking at the oily venison, everyone couldn't help but jump their fingers. Everyone picked up chopsticks, picked up the venison and ate it.

Boss Tian brought a few more side dishes, and then poured wine for everyone.

Du Dalei sniffed the liquor that was as clear as water and took a sip, "This is made from rice, right?" It's estimated to be about fifty degrees, which is good, very good. ”

Wei ~ Hongye quipped: "You kid is a dog, his nose is very smart, and his mouth is quite tricky." How many degrees of alcohol can you drink? ”

"That is, back then, I was a senior sake mengzi known as 'Sakai', and this must be rice wine, which should be about 50 degrees. Monk Taiqin, am I right? ”

Tai Qin took a sip and smashed it: "It's rice wine, but what do you mean by fifty degrees?" ”

Du Dalei began to grin: "Fifty degrees means that the degree of this wine is very high, the higher the degree means that the stronger the wine, and I have also drunk seventy degrees of liquor." When I drank the wine, it was like drinking a fire, and Lao Tzu's stomach almost burned out. ”

Zhao Zizhong didn't pay attention to the boastful Du Dalei, he asked Wei ~ Hongye:

"I heard that last year's Champa rice harvest was good? Is this liquor made from Champong rice? ”

"Yes, last year Champa rice was planted for two seasons, except for the seeds left, after we kept enough rations, we took the rest to make wine. Well, this wine tastes pretty good. ”

Du Dalei interjected: "That's pretty good, Old Wei, if this wine is sold in Bianliang City, it is estimated that it can be sold for more than ten pounds per catty." ”

Everyone was shocked, can this wine be sold for ten times? That's too much of an exaggeration, right?

Du Dalei squinted at Gao Yanei: "What, you foodie, you don't believe Lao Tzu's words?" ”

Gao Yanei swallowed the venison in his mouth with difficulty, and then said, "Lao Du, you are too good at blowing, right?" This wine is good, but it can't be sold for ten pounds? ”

"If you say you're stupid, you will have a runny nose, this wine is transported from Jiangnan to Bianliang City, and the freight alone is a lot of money. There are also various taxes to be paid along the way, which is another expense. After arriving in Bianliang City, he had to pay twenty percent of the liquor tax to the Song court. And the main store and foot shop that sell alcohol still have to make money. The yield of this wine is not high, and it is expensive to sell it for ten pounds, do you say that it is expensive to sell it for ten pounds? ”

Gao Yanei thought about it and said, "Listening to you say this, it's really not expensive." It seems that the local buns of the Great Song Dynasty really love to drink spirits, and they can accept no matter how expensive the price is. ”

"What is the soil bun of the Great Song Dynasty, you haven't seen the Khitan turtle yet. Those drunkards can't walk when they see the spirits, what good horses, precious furs, precious medicinal materials, as well as pearls, jade, etc., are all exchanged for wine and drunk, then it is called a lot of money. Du Dalei said with some envy.

Gao Yanei's eyes rolled: "Then Cui Daoshu their family has made a fortune, and their Cui family's caravan sells a large amount of spirits to the north every year." Lao Du, you said that if my family also runs a spirits business, do you think it will be successful? ”

Du Da Lei was happy: "What, you want to grab food from my brother Cui Daoshu's bowl?" I guess your kid must be no play. ”

Gao Yanei was a little anxious: "Don't, Lao Du, the world is so big, Cui Daoshu definitely can't take care of all the spirits business." My family can avoid Cui Daoshu's territory and sell wine elsewhere. For example, in places like Nanhan, Jinghu, and Shudi, his Cui family's business has not yet reached those places. ”
