The construction efficiency of the Qin army's siege camp was extremely terrifying, and after just a few days, the entire island had completely changed.

The shape of this island is basically a circular island, and the entire area is about four or five hundred acres.

The original hill was located in the middle of the island, and the surrounding ground was uneven, flat in the northwest and slightly higher in the southeast.

After several days of hard work by the engineering battalion, the originally uneven ground was bulldozed, and the wasteland became flat.

Moreover, the haphazard and unruly houses built by the Japanese on the hill have now been transformed into rows of neat and orderly fortifications and barracks that are conducive to defense.

On the top of the mountain, a tall flag platform was even erected, on which a huge Qin Army Black Tiger Army flag fluttered, and the flag hunted and hunted under the sea breeze.

The original simple and narrow dock has been completely transformed into a large dock that can dock ten heavy warships at the same time.

In the future, people and goods can directly disembark and disembark through the dock, and there is no need to transfer through small boats.

Moreover, on the entire island, a dense watchtower has also been built, and there is a huge lighthouse as high as five or six feet high.

A wooden fence was built around the island, and traps were dug outside the walls, and all the traps were arranged with wooden thorns and other things that had been sharpened.

And in each of the remaining four directions of the island there is a barracks, each of which can accommodate at least a thousand people.

Then, on the wasteland directly south of the island, a huge school field was leveled and used as a training place for the soldiers guarding the island.

Di Qing took Deng Shichang and Bai Jinxiu to inspect the entire construction of the project in the past few days, and put forward opinions at any time.

They all have the same purpose, which is to make the island a military base on the sea, but also a strong sea fortress, and if anyone wants to attack or occupy this fortress, it will definitely cost them dearly.

And Bai Jinxiu these days. In order to make the plan they agreed on more feasible and more likely to succeed, they are also dividing the captured Wang Zhi's cronies.

As long as these people can agree to submission, then even if Wang Zhi does not agree, there is no way in the end.

Finally, five days later, Wang Zhi was taken out of the prison and brought to Di Qing.

Di Qing looked at Wang Zhi, who was looking at him in front of him, looking haggard and embarrassed, and chuckled: "Sea Dragon King, how have you been these days?" ”

Wang Zhi was originally full of confidence in himself, but no one has paid attention to him in the past few days, and he has lost a lot of confidence in the plan he originally proposed.

Before being taken out of the prison this time, the guards also let him eat a good meal, which made him feel that he was about to become a ghost under the knife, so when he heard Di Qing's question, he smiled bitterly and said: "Since General Di wants to kill Wang, why do you need to ask more." It is useless to say more. I don't know when the general will do it.

Looking at Wang Zhi's expression of resignation, Di Qing laughed loudly, and Wang Zhi, who was laughing, was inexplicable, and he didn't know why.

Di Qing didn't say anything, let people take Wang Zhi, and took the lead to walk down the mountain

Wang Zhi followed Di Qing down the mountain while looking at the island that was unrecognizable at this time.

He couldn't have imagined that in just a few days, the island had undergone earth-shaking changes. There was constant astonishment in his expression, looking at Di Qing for a while, and constantly looking around for a while, his eyes full of incredulity.

However, Wang Zhizhi is also a hero who has been on the sea for more than ten years, although he is puzzled, but he does not ask.

He knew that Di Qing did not directly order him to be killed, indicating that he had a glimmer of life. Di Qing must have his own intentions in doing this, so he just watched it and didn't say it.

Di Qing also saw Wang Zhi's stunned look, and without saying much, he walked directly to the newly built school field.

Di Qing walked directly onto the stage, but Wang Zhi was guarded by two guards under the stage, looking at the situation on the school field solemnly.

At this time, there were two phalanxes neatly arranged on the field, one was an infantry phalanx, and the other was an artillery phalanx. All the soldiers were almost all of average height, all of them wore short red uniforms, flat-brimmed hats, and their expressions were solemn and did not squint.

Figures stood on the school field like javelins, waiting for Di Qing on the stage to give orders.

Although Wang Zhi was far away, he felt a temperament from these soldiers who looked down on the world and gave up on me.

Not to mention anything else, it was the neat and uniform queue, which was a straight line both horizontally and vertically, which surprised Wang Zhi's heart.

Wang Zhi has seen the army of the Ming Dynasty, the army of Fusang, and the soldiers who came to England with English merchants in Fusang.

But I had never seen such a temperament as the army in front of me.

Although they were only two small phalanxes, they exuded the spirit of thousands of troops, which made Wang Zhixin frightened.

Di Qing walked up to the platform, his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the soldiers in the two phalanxes, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and raised it high, and shouted: "The martial arts exercise begins!" ”

In front of the two formations, one commander from each drew his long knife at his waist and gave a loud order.

With the order, the exercise officially began, and the infantry phalanx conducted the exercise.

Although today's muskets have been upgraded to the most advanced revolving bolt rifles, which have greatly improved range, accuracy, and penetration, they still have not innovated in tactics, and the traditional three-stage shooting is still used.

The entire army formation was quickly lined up in three columns under the orders of the commander.

The first column squats down on one leg and raises the gun to aim ahead. The second column was aimed at the upright guns.

The third column sticks its guns out of the gap in the second column and aims ahead.

The target set in front of it has three different distances, which are 150 steps, 200 steps and 300 steps.

After the infantry formation was completed, as the commander gave an order, a sudden rain of gunfire suddenly rang out.

Their first shot was at a target at 150 paces, and after all three columns were fired, all targets at 150 paces were knocked to the ground.

The second shot was aimed at a target 200 paces away, and after another burst of gunfire, all targets 200 paces away were shot to the ground.

The third shot was aimed at a target 300 paces away, and this time, only one target was left unknocked out, and the rest of the boards were all knocked to the ground.

After the infantry phalanx finished firing, it quickly resumed the phalanx under the orders of the commander.

Wang Zhi, who was watching from the bottom of the platform, was a little unimpressed at first that all the musketeers had shot down the targets on the 150 paces, but when all the targets at the 200 paces away were shot down, he finally showed a shocked and solemn expression.

And when the target three hundred paces away was knocked down, his face became completely solemn and dumbfounded.

What shocked him was not only the ultra-long range and accurate shooting of the Qin army's musket, but also the extremely short interval between each shot.

He took a closer look, and the time spent on reloading between each round of fire by the musketeers was unusually high, almost between two or three breaths. After the shot was finished, the soldiers methodically and quickly took out a bullet from the small leather bag on their waists, stuffed it into the back of the musket quickly and accurately, and then pulled something on the gun to complete the preparation for firing, without the necessary steps of poking the ammunition into the chamber with an iron strip as he had thought before.

Although when he was fighting with the Qin army that day, Wang Zhi also learned the sharpness of the Qin army's muskets, but it was not as intuitive as it is today.

He originally thought that the breech-loading rifled gun he bought from the English merchant was already very sharp, but compared with the musket in Qin Jun's hand today, he felt that it was not much different from a burning stick.

If nothing else, the reload speed and range are far inferior.

Not only did he secretly think that if he could have such hundreds of sharp muskets under his command, then he would have no opponent above the sea.

For the other pirates, he definitely has the strength to sweep them away and dominate the seas.
