After three days of hard thinking, Shi Dayong's confidence was rekindled, and this time he no longer put the hope of defeating the Manchurian Eight Banners on the "introduction" of weapons for later generations, but decided to use the strong against the strong, the poison against the poison, and the cold weapon against the cold weapon.

Who the said that if the traverser wants to defeat the other party, he will inevitably open his golden finger, what kind of tactics are he engaged in with firearms lining up to shoot, is it possible that without firearms, we Han people can't defeat those barbarians!

If that's the case, how to explain the Han cavalry crisscrossing the desert north; How to explain the Tang Dynasty's prestige in the Western Regions; How to explain the Yuejia army vs. Tiefutu; How to explain the annihilation of the blue jade fishing sea and the Northern Yuan!

Weaponism is unacceptable!

The great man once said: It is always the man, not the weapon, that determines victory.

Cold weapons can also create history and change history!

What the ancestors can do, how can the descendants not be able to do it!

It is very simple to understand a thing, but it is very difficult, Shi Dayong's understanding is the realization after failure, and it is also a helpless understanding.

If he had smelted the steel and transformed the fire gun into a "gun", then he would never have understood the true meaning of the reason why the Han people have been able to last for thousands of years.

We can survive, we can be strong because we always believe that we cannot be truly conquered! As long as we remain bloody, what we have lost will be regained!

When we set a goal, we will fight for it until we die!

………

After facing the reality, Shi Dayong began to re-examine his own people, and he wanted to know where his strengths and weaknesses were.

The three hundred cavalry were assigned to him by Qiu Hejia from Zu Dashou, and the commander was a thousand generals, named Jiang Wanli. This person is a native of Liaodong, but he is not a member of the ancestral family, but a subordinate of the late Wu Jinglu and Young Master Man Gui, who was a soldier in Gaotaibao after the Great War of Guangning.

The change of Jisi, Man Gui was killed in the battle of Yongdingmen in Beijing, and the generals Heiyunlong and Ma Dengyun were captured alive, and Jiang Wanli was a thousand generals under Heiyunlong.

Because the commander Mangui was killed in battle, the main general Heiyunlong was captured, and Jiang Wanli and other Mangui people were forcibly absorbed by Zu Dashou. Because Zu Dashou adhered to Yuan Chonghuan's intention and did not agree with Mangui, Jiang Wanli and other Manchu generals were not allowed to be reused in Liaodong, and were squeezed out by the generals of Liaoxi everywhere.

Therefore, for Jiang Wanli, it is much better to allocate Shi Dayong's subordinates than to stay under Zu Dashou. He knew that Shi Dayong was a descendant general brought by Governor Qiu Hejia from the Guannei, and Governor Qiu had long been dissatisfied with Zu Dashou and others, and it was imperative to help the new army to counter Zu Dashou.

After all, Daming is noble and martial, no matter how horizontal Zu Dashou is, he is just a general, but Qiu Hejia is a member of the court who patrols Liaodong on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Besides, under Zu Dashou, he was suppressed and depressed, but under Governor Qiu, it was different, Governor Qiu was the main attacker, only because he could not command the ancestral people, so he could not free his hands, but once Qiu Hejia's people formed a force, the situation in Liaodong would be greatly improved, and he would also follow the rising tide.

Shi Dayong's precedent is alive in front of him, just because it is the person brought by Governor Qiu from the Guannei, in just a few months, he jumped from the thousand general to the guard, and now the opportunity falls on his head, as long as he performs well, he will be promoted sooner or later.

Jiang Wanli believed that he would definitely be promoted, because the 300 cavalry under his command were the elite left by General Mangui, and when Yuan Inspector was there, he was stronger than the Liaodong soldiers led by Zu Dashou. It was only because the coach died in battle that it didn't fall, but as long as there is a chance to play, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself again.

Regarding the Liaoxi Jiangmen composed of Zu Dashou and his gang of nephews and cronies, Jiang Wanli snorted, "Mouse eyes are light, just for self-preservation" is his evaluation of Zu Dashou. He is eager to attack, eager to take revenge, instead of avoiding war to preserve his so-called strength, watching Jiannu grow bigger and bigger!

Shenyang, Hetuara and even further north is the final destination of my Ming army!

We are the army of the Ming Dynasty, we are the army of the Han people, and we fight to the death against all barbaric enemies!

The outcome of the battle can only be two ways - either the enemy walks on our corpse, or we march on the corpse of the enemy!

What Jiang Wanli thought, Shi Dayong didn't know what to do, but he knew that the three hundred cavalry were much stronger than his six hundred Changping soldiers.

Six hundred Changping soldiers were promoted to the general manager of Qian by Shi Dayong in the second year of Chongzhen, and Ma Shilong ordered him to recruit in Changping by himself, except for more than 100 veterans, most of them were new recruits and had no actual combat experience. However, Jiang Wanli's 300 cavalry was left by Man Gui, who had competed with the cavalry of the old slave Nurhachi, and then competed with the main force of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji under the city of Beijing, and was regarded as a veteran of a hundred battles.

You can see at a glance which one is weaker and which is stronger.

Shi Dayong did not shy away from saying that his 600 soldiers were not as good as Jiang Wanli's 300 cavalry, even if his subordinates were 1,600 soldiers, he also thought that he was no match for these 300 cavalry.

But no matter how strong the cavalry is, it is only three hundred, which is not of great use, and there are 100,000 people in the Eight Banners and Mongolian cavalry under Huang Taiji.

Therefore, he decided to build his 600 Changping soldiers into a strong army that could be undefeated in the face of 300 cavalry.

For this reason, he first went to Jinzhou to meet with Governor Qiu Hejia, and asked Governor Qiu to give priority to his own batch of cotton armor and a special defense against bows and arrows.

…………

Qiu Hejia, as the governor of Liaodong, allocated a batch of cotton armor and cards for his subordinates, which is naturally not a difficult task, anyway, there are only 600 people, and this little thing will not be conspicuous wherever it is placed.

After getting the cotton armor and the card as he wished, Shi Dayong immediately distributed it. Jiang Wanli's 300 cavalry didn't need these, they themselves had some chain mail, and those who didn't have chain mail also had cotton armor, and they didn't need the cotton armor of these infantry.

The appearance of cotton armor is relatively thick cotton cloth, which is repeatedly patted into cotton sheets when wet, and multiple cotton sheets are made into cotton cloth. In the inner and outer two layers of cotton cloth, there are metal pieces of about seven centimeters in size and square are connected one by one without leaking a little gap, and the outside is fixed with copper nails, which also has a good cold protection effect in the cold Northeast region.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the infantry of the Ming army were equipped with armor, not this kind of cotton armor, because of the wide range of equipment of firearms, so the equipment of the armor of each army became less and less, and more of this cotton armor was equipped. And this kind of cotton armor is what the armies of Liaodong and Jiubian can equip, and other places are not even equipped.

The shield of the Ming army is divided into three types, one is the hand card, the second is the swallowtail card, and the third is the next card.

The hand is made of poplar or easy wood, five feet seven inches long and one foot wide, and is mainly used to block opponents' weapons during battlefield battles.

The swallowtail card is made of oak wood, which is about the same length as the hand card, but less than a foot wide, showing a tendency to be wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and is also used for self-protection in the event of a hand-to-hand encounter.

The card is made of poplar wood, five feet long, one foot five inches wide, and the thickness is twice that of the hand card and the swallowtail card.

Shi Dayong never expected that his hundreds of men and horses would be able to meet the Eight Banners in close combat, in that case, it must be more auspicious, and the purpose of his asking Qiu Hejia for cards was only to let the soldiers withstand the bows and arrows of the Eight Banners, not to let them hold their hands and swallowtail cards to fight with the Jin soldiers.

The strength is here, and passive defense is also a helpless strategy.

Before he could build an army that could stand on the defensive, Shi Dayong did not dare to attack
