"The Battle of Xigang is the largest battle and the most cruel test experienced by the Scouts after it was built, although we won this battle, but most of it depends on luck, Chen has carefully recalled the situation at that time, and remembers the deepest is about the scene when the spear team was scattered by the Qing army. (The text was first published in the reading room biquge.info "Before the adaptation officially began, Zheng Kezhang found an opportunity to gather some of the participants in the Battle of Xigang to summarize the battle, during which Lin Kang, who had just been promoted to the Left Tiger Guard Division and joined the army, reported to Zheng Kezhang with a stern face. "At that time, our spear array was only two columns, and it was almost crushed by several times the Qing army, and now although each regiment of the new division has six sentinels, the number of pikemen has not increased much, which is absolutely not good."

"I think that the lack of spears is a problem, but the more important thing is that the range of the deer guns is too close." Zhao Huang, the former chief staff officer of the first town of the Boy Scouts, and now the general staff of the Right Guards Division, has another opinion. "The minister compared the firing range of the bird guns and found that if it were not for the lack of sufficient artillery of the Qing army that rushed ashore, and the bird guns team was suppressed by our artillery army, our army would probably be sniped by the opponent's bird guns from a distance."

"Your Majesty thinks that if it weren't for the fact that the Qing army had too few war horses, otherwise the horse team would open the way, and the deer guns in front of them would have to exchange positions with the spear team after one round of shooting, otherwise they would not be able to resist their charge." Gu Kai, the former superintendent of the second town of the Boy Scouts and now the deputy commander of the second regiment of the Zuoyong Guards, synthesized the views of the previous two. "And if you change the bird gun, you can play at least two rounds, although it may not cause much damage to the heavily armored clear riders, but at least it can kill and injure some unarmored horses, and it can also leave enough time for the pikes to change guards."

"The minister tried to shoot various armors with deer guns and bird guns, the bird guns can kill and injure the green battalion without armor within 100 steps, inflict damage on people wearing leather armor within 80 steps, penetrate the single-layer cotton armor of the Eight Banners soldiers within 50 steps, cause casualties to officers and soldiers wearing the chain mail of the domain within 30 steps, and penetrate the armor of the domain within 10 steps." Hong Hui, the first sentry officer of the First Regiment of the Left Tiger Guard Division, also made a relevant report. "And the deer armor used by this clan now, whether it is cotton armor, leather armor, or chain mail, can be penetrated within fifty steps, and the deer armor and double cotton armor within thirty steps, and the latest and best plate armor of Taixi within twenty steps can also be penetrated, so the minister feels that the deer gun is far away and easy to miss, and the power is too great when it is close, maybe it is best to take a compromise between the deer gun and the bird gun."

"Very good," Zheng Kezhang nodded, he understood, the key to the following population punishment is the insufficient number of spears and the range of the firearms is too close, involving the problem of his own scattered use of troops and falling into a lonely battle, I am afraid that no one is willing to talk about it, which is a little disappointing, but these two issues are also very important, so he responded. "It seems that you all have the idea of improving the firearm to increase the gun team, so An Qing." Zheng Kezhang commanded An Long, who had just been transferred to the superintendent of the gun station. "I think that the bird gun is about four points, and the deer gun is seven points, or you can take the middle value to try, and the bird gun tube is longer, and the new fire gun may adopt one or two." Zheng Kezhang drew a sketch and handed it to An Long according to the style of the butt and the style of the spear in the future. "Qing and hand it over to the Gun Institute for testing."

An Long took Zheng Kezang's sample and folded it up in his sleeve: "Lord, the minister and the master of the gun station have also discussed one or two, and the master of the gun station said that if you are not afraid of the trouble of loading the gun and lead again, you can produce five thunder god machines, thunderbolt guns and a swarm of bees, although it may not be as convenient as the shotgun fired by the artillery, but it is also a large number of sharp weapons." ”

The so-called five thunder god machine and thunderbolt are multi-barreled firearms, a swarm of salvo arrows driven by gunpowder, are machine guns of this era, so Zheng Kezhang pondered for a while and replied: "What kind of weapon you want to try to make guns and cannons will not be multi-tube, but there are several requirements, first, it must be easy to carry before the army; Second, it should be easy to operate; Third, the power is appropriate. ”

As soon as Zheng Kezhang said this, Hu Kejian, the former battalion officer of the Luan Yiwei Cavalry Battalion and now a member of the Zuo Yongwei Division, also stood up: "Please build a batch of three-eyed guns to equip the cavalry." ”

Zheng Kezhang looked at him, and Hu Kejian explained: "Today's cavalry equipment can only use one shot, the effect is not as good as the three-eyed gun, and it is precious. ”

The biggest advantage of the three-eyed gun is that it can be used as a mace, and unlike the speculation of later generations, the current three-eyed gun can only be ignited through the guò fire rope and cannot be used to send it, but in this way, the cost is naturally low, and it is not distressing to lose it in the battlefield.

Therefore, Zheng Kezang nodded without hesitation: "The secretary submitted a letter to the Military Affairs Department, and the Military Affairs Department will arrange this matter." ”

"I request that all the two-inch guns of the regimental artillery posts be changed to three-inch guns." Yi Shilao, who brought the title of chief supervisor of the artillery corps, also made a strange request. "Judging from the effect of the shelling of the West Harbor and the inland sea to block the enemy, although the two-inch gun is light, its power is too small, and it is difficult to pose a strong threat to the enemy troops of the brigade, while the three-inch gun has a larger caliber and heavier projectile, the effect is much better, and the full weight of the artillery plus the gun vehicle has not increased much."

"That's fine." Although Zheng Jun obtained a lot of military horses from the Qing army this time, Taiwan's humid and hot environment is not conducive to the growth of horses, and there are many departments staring at each other, so Zheng Kezhang can only reassure. "But it's impossible to change it all at once, wait for a year or two, and wait for the development of the horse farm in Hongtouyu."

Zheng Kezhang said that the red head island will be renamed Orchid Island in the future because of the phalaenopsis all over the island, as a small island hanging alone in the Pacific Ocean, it is not on the main shipping route, and only a few hundred Tau people live in the community, so Zheng Kezhang at a glance as Zheng Jun's main horse farm at this stage, but this horse farm has just begun to build, and it really wants to develop, and it will not be a climate in two or three years.

It was with this realization that Yi Shilao continued to speak with a slumped face: "I hope that Your Majesty will not lose his words, and in addition, I hope that I must compile a few five-inch short-barreled mortar guns for future siege purposes." ”

"Siege mortars?" Zheng Kezang narrowed his eyes, although there is no plan to attack the mainland fortified city at this stage, but everything is foreseen and it will be wasted if it is not prepared, so it is also appropriate to produce a few doors first. "In this way, An Qing, you will arrange for the gun station to produce six five-inch guns first, so that a separate siege artillery sentry can be formed."

In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year of the thirty-eighth year of Yongli, this time the Great Chaoyi was valued very seriously by the Ming and Zheng officials because of the victory in the previous Dongning Defense War, but Zheng Kezhang was canceled again on the grounds that the domain was scarce, and the officials naturally complained, but at this moment Zheng Kezang's prestige is in full swing, so no one dares to force it.

Of course, Zheng Kezhang is not a miser who is hard to give up money, although he canceled the day's great ceremony, but before the time came, the Kunshen Avenue leading to the outside of Anping City was already crowded. It turned out that at noon today, Zheng Kezhang was going to give a banquet to the thousands of Zheng officers and soldiers and their families who were awarded medals in the Battle of Guihai.

When it was almost noon, Zheng Kezhang walked up to the head of Anping City, and the sound of the mountain went straight to the sky, Zheng Kezhang smiled and waved his hand, and under the pressure of the Zuo Yongwei soldiers on duty, the sound gradually quieted down, and Zheng Kezhang began to speak.

"Today's New Year, it is a good time to visit relatives and friends, you can give up the opportunity to reunite with the family to go to the lonely banquet, the lonely is very happy, so wait a minute, although let go of eating and drinking, if anyone does not eat and get drunk, it is the lonely hospitality is not good, you can go back to poke the backbone of the lonely!"

Zheng Kezang's straightforward words were spread by the guards one after another, and even the most attentive officers and soldiers agreed to it, so one dish after another was sent up, and the roasted seeds made with sugarcane wine, hundred fruits, and taro were also opened one by one, and the whole Anping City was filled with the aroma of food.

Zheng Kezhang quickly walked down from the upper floor of Anping City, under the escort of the guards, first walked to the outermost edge of the banquet table, several ordinary soldiers of Zheng Jun who had just started eating were stupid when they saw Zheng Kezang come to toast in person, but Zheng Kezang raised his glass with a smile: "Gu Ming, Liu Fang, Xie San, I have heard your name." ”

Several of the named sergeants stood up in fear, they didn't expect Zheng Kezhang to appear in front of them, their wives also lowered their faces, and they didn't dare to make a sound, only a few ignorant children were still lying on the long table staring at the rich food and drooling.

Zheng Kezang, who knew how many people were restrained, said with a smile: "Gu Ming is the winner of the bronze iron wall medal, Liu Fang has the bronze medal for defeating the enemy, and Xie San also has the C-class disability medal, you are all heroes of this domain, if there is no you, Lone may not be able to stand here, come, I salute you for a cup, I hope that the three of them can make meritorious contributions to this domain in the future." ”

Zheng Kezhang raised his neck and drank it first, although he only drank water mixed with wine, but the three ordinary soldiers were moved to tears, and when Zheng Kezhang showed the bottom of the cup to the three of them, the excited three people were drunk before drinking, trembling, and the wine in their hands drank half and spilled half.

When they also drank the vomit in the cup, Zheng Kezhang waved his hand and signaled: "It's not easy to come to Anping from home, I will try to eat and drink well, and I will not accompany you if I have to go to the other tables to pay respects, remember not to go home without getting drunk!" ”

Zheng Kezhang walked to the next table, but several soldiers and their wives were still like in a dream, until a long time before the sound of the child knocking over the dishes and chopsticks was called back to the world, among which Xie San's wife shouted: "My mother, alas, the Lord toasts our family, this, this is not a dream!" ”

"It's not a dream!" Xie San, who pinched his thigh, said painfully. "I really didn't expect that I would be able to drink the wine toasted by the Lord himself, not to mention anything else, the Tartar traitors are coming again, and we will also fight!"

"The third brother is right, let's fight!"

Gu Ming and Liu Fang immediately echoed, this is not only their voice, but also the voice of all Zheng officers and soldiers who have been saluted by Zheng Kezang, and it will also become the voice of all Zheng Jun after it spreads
