Bu Ning has surrendered, cleaned the battlefield, and collected prisoners, only to know that this battle is tragic.

Of the more than 100 cavalry of the Dashun army, more than half of the war horses were lost, less than 40 were intact, and more than half of the dead riders were burned.

The 200 infantry of the Dashun Army were also killed or wounded in 50 or 60, and less than 100 were recruited after the war.

However, there were only more than 30 Pengzhou soldiers killed in the battle, half of which were in Yang Weiqiang's crossbow division, and the casualties of other departments were not large.

In this battle, Yang Lin led the first division of musketeers to attack, although the Dashun army was defeated, but regardless of the arrows and lead bullets that were shot, he stood in the front from beginning to end, and after the battle, everyone was terrified, and everyone exhorted and hoped that next time they would not be in danger.

After the war, the attack essentials of Yang Linfang's musket team, in addition to the musket salvo, in addition to the three-stage shot, in addition to the spur, is to avoid the phenomenon of soldiers' wave shooting.

It can be said that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the musket team did not overcome the phenomenon of musketeers and crossbowmen, the Qi family army with strict military discipline did not overcome, and the Guanning soldiers and horses did not overcome it.

In order to overcome the phenomenon of soldiers firing waves, it is necessary for officers to stand at the forefront and lead the officers to approach the enemy, as in Western Europe, that is, to give all kinds of attack orders in a loud voice, rather than hiding in the rear to command, or taking the lead in rushing into the enemy line and fighting indiscriminately.

Otherwise, of course, the soldiers will fire their arrows from a distance, without considering the shooting distance at all

The news of the victory in this battle spread, and everyone rejoiced to tell each other, and everyone in Sichuan at the end of the war could at least think that the soldiers in Pengzhou could protect the local peace.

The biggest gain of this battle is that I have only now understood that the biggest weakness of the bird gun or the three-stage attack is that it takes a long time to reload, although the rabble can be defeated through the three-stage attack or the bird-gun tactics, and the ordinary soldiers and horses can be defeated, but if you face the opponent's elite soldiers and horses, you can only rely on fighting bayonets and relying on cruel white-knuckle combat.

Secondly, there is the importance of bayonet fighting. In the ancient battlefield, the personnel were dense, coupled with the short effective range, so there is a saying that the three arrows are in battle, that is, in the face of a desperate opponent, shoot the bow up to three times, and then the key to determining the victory or defeat of the two sides is hand-to-hand combat.

However, since the appearance of the bird, the Ming Dynasty army has relied heavily on the bird's gun shooting and slowly lost the courage to fight in close quarters, if an army loses the ability to fight in the field, its defeat is already doomed.

This may be the main reason why the Ming army, which used a mixture of hot and cold weapons, was defeated by the Qing army.

In the era of muskets, Russian generals said that bullets were stupid and bayonets were heroes, and the firepower became more and more powerful and terrifying in World War II, but the most enjoyable thing for the Japanese soldiers was the bayonet tactic, which was accurate shooting.

Now, on the basis of musket shooting, by installing a spur in front of the bird's gun, it is to regain the blood of the soldiers.

Although he has nearly 400 years of knowledge more than everyone else, he knows that he is not from the military, Yang Lin summarizes every battle, and then improves through training after the war, which is probably the most proud thing.

Hearing that Bu Ning surrendered to the Pengzhou soldiers, Chen Yingrui was worried about being ambushed and withdrew from Pengzhou overnight, and Yang Lin was also worried for several days, afraid of the retaliation of the Dashun army.

In the days that followed, news continued to pour in.

First of all, the Dashun army of the Great Western Army was merged in Mianzhou, and Zhang Xianzhong was furious when he heard that Li Zicheng's Dashun army entered Sichuan to compete with him for the four skus, and sent messengers to Zhao'an in various places on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent Zhang Nengqi, the general of Dingbei, to lead his troops to meet the enemy.

In early September, the two armies met in Mianzhou, and Zhang Nengqi led his troops to kill, but there were more than 10,000 Liaodong soldiers and horses under Ma Ke's command, and the horses were strong and strong, and the Great Western Army was defeated and defeated.

Then Ma Yuanli, the left governor of the Great Western Army, led his troops to occupy Guang'an Prefecture in late September, threatening Shunqing and Pengzhou.

There are also local tyrants in northern Sichuan, who are now ready to move, and according to everyone's inference, they will definitely attack Pengzhou after the busy farming, and seize the grain in the city and the countryside.

Whether it is the Dashun Army occupying Baoning Mansion, or the Daxi Army Ma Yuanli Department that controls the city of Guangzhou Prefecture in Shunqing Prefecture, or even the local tyrants Yao Tiandong and Huanglong in northern Sichuan, they may invade Pengzhou at any time and disturb the peace that everyone has won so hard.

On the one hand, Yang Wei, Yang Cheng, Long Zhijiao, Hu Qifang and others marched in arms every other to calm the people's hearts, and on the other hand, they were thinking about how to strengthen themselves.

The last time he rescued Qianqing, he knew that if he was to levy a husband in the local area, it would be like abolishing a family, so in order to stabilize the local order, Yang Lin decided to form a baggage force.

The ancients had the habit of building cities on the mountains, most of the cities were next to rivers, and many rivers in the south were intertwined with each other, so boats and boats were an important tool for logistics and transportation from ancient times to the present.

In the past, there were people building ships on the border of Pengzhou, but most of the small boats of no more than a few dozen quintals were fishing on the rivers or running boats, and the inland river army in Yang Lin's mind should be the main force of vehicles and boats, equipped with a large number of smaller sampan boats, and defeated the opponent on the battlefield by shelling, firing guns and arrows, or throwing earth-shattering thunder.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to expand the dock, build a 400-dan vehicle ship, which is known in history as the Flying Tiger warship, expand the dock, and cut down the old chestnut trees that are strong in the deep mountains and old forests.

Now it is a busy time to recruit craftsmen, now can only expand the dock first, first find the trees used in shipbuilding, today Yang Lin arrived at the dock early in the morning, in addition to inspecting the dock that has just been built, is to discuss the wood used in shipbuilding, as well as the construction of vehicles and ships.

The dock was built under Longjiao Mountain, and the water village was set up in the place during the occupation of Pengzhou by the local rioters last year, and it was gradually abandoned after the official army recovered, and now it is used as a military dock, covering an area of 2,000 square meters, and now it has begun to take shape.

Contemporary officials may go out on patrol to control the road, in ancient times it was even more earth-shattering, often the official holding a wooden sign to ask the people to avoid, quiet, too late to avoid then dodging on both sides, some arched their hands and clenched their fists, some knelt down and waited for the old man to open mightily.

As a modern person is very unaccustomed to this kind of meaningless ushering and sending, since being elected as the governor, every time I go out, I take a cavalry team to ride a horse, and there is no need for people to open the road in front, and there is no need for villagers to kneel on the side of the road, so light and simple, but also quite fast and safe.

As for the civil officials such as judges and magistrates, those who can be reached on a flat official road ride more donkeys, and those who have rugged mountain roads take sliding poles to try not to disturb the people.

Although the rules have been changed, most of the people are very unaccustomed to it, and Yang Lin has just arrived at the dock on this day, and a large area of Qi Brush and Brush in front of him has been on his knees, which is spectacular.

Turning over and dismounting, throwing the reins to the cavalry who came with him, Yang Lin looked quite atmospheric and said: "Fellow villagers, I told you a long time ago, except for kneeling on the ground in the world and kneeling on your parents in the middle, don't kneel anywhere else."

Let's think about it, winter will start in more than 20 days, the ground is damp, and everyone's kneeling will not only stain their pants, but the worst thing is that if the one is sick because of this, isn't it a sin? ”

Everyone kept explaining non-stop, Yang Lin helped up the two bearded old men, and the others let everyone get up by themselves, so it took a long time for everyone to stand up.

Accompanied by several masters, Yang Lin visited the dock, then left everyone behind, and asked: "Masters, of course I know that you are famous masters in the three counties of Pengzhou, and you have also built civilian ships many times, but this time it is a warship, so you have to be cautious."

I'm going to build 10 Flying Tiger warships and dozens of smaller ships this time. ”

These masters are close to the age of sixties, and the young ones are also thirty or forty years old, recruited from the local government one by one, and everyone has twelve reluctances in their hearts, and now they hear Yang Lin mention the battleship, and they give up their hands one after another, claiming that they have built civilian cargo ships in the past, but have not built battleships, let alone the legendary Flying Tiger battleships.

Seeing that everyone lowered their heads one by one and asked for a long time before answering, Yang Lin looked quite disappointed, and asked Fan Mingshan next to him: "Brother Fan, did you send the monthly salary to everyone last month?"

The craftsmen I want are not those who have been forcibly recruited and are unwilling to do things for the government, but the craftsmen I recruit need people of insight who sincerely work for the government and for themselves. ”

When Fan Mingshan heard this, he arched his hand and said: "My lord, craftsmen were only recruited last month, and the monthly salary has not yet been distributed, and there are still many people who think that the salary of this craftsman is too high." ”

Yang Lin pointed to a slightly chubby master in front of him and asked, "Master, you, tell me, how much money can you make a year outside?" ”

From ancient times to the present, the Chinese have paid attention to not revealing their wealth, especially now that the war is in chaos, and everyone is wailing and deliberately saying that it is not enough, that is, they are worried that the government will recruit money and grain.

Yang Lin smiled and expressed his understanding, and looked at everyone: "I am also from the mountains, of course I know that there is a saying in the society that people do not fight with officials, and honestly do not deal with people in the officialdom."

The reason why all the weapons in the past were shoddy, and why everyone was unwilling to work in the government workshop, was because of the low income, everyone suffered.

Ordnance is made by people, ordnance is too important, as long as the technology is qualified, sincere work, the income of craftsmen who help the government is of course higher than outside.

This battleship is indeed too important, so whoever can help the government build a sturdy and durable Flying Tiger warship and other small ships, as long as I have one day, I guarantee that its income will exceed that of the outside. ”

Yang Lin announced the new rules, as long as anyone can build the Flying Tiger warship and other small ships that meet the requirements, the government will contract this dock to the other party to operate, in addition to helping the government build ships, they can also take over private goods themselves.

To build and maintain ships for the government, the two sides determine a certain level of procurement, and apart from normal taxes and certain contracting costs, nothing else is asked.

This is equivalent to the government paying for its own shopkeeper, everyone has encountered such a good thing in the past? While some of the older ones are looking ahead, the younger ones are ready to move.

Some said that they had heard the master talk about cars and boats, and some said that their ancestors had made cars and boats, Yang Lin listened carefully, and asked questions and discussed from time to time, and sometimes even took out a brush to draw patterns to discuss with everyone.

As the carpenter Hu Bengui said, this warship is different from a merchant ship, the most important thing is to have a strong hull, and to do this, it is necessary to use high-quality wood, the most solid is pear blossom wood, followed by chestnut trees, and finally pine cypresses.

In addition, it is the water wheel, everyone thinks that the best is the rural water truck, but Yang Lin proposed a new concept, that is, to imitate the engine leaves of the previous life, to make a fan, although everyone has two poles, but Yang Lin is not very insistent, let everyone try, after the failure of all the cost of their own, if successful reward fifty taels of silver.

……..

After a day's effort, the carpenter Hu Bengui was selected as the general office of the dock, and Yang Lin left satisfied.
