"Your Excellency. As the captain of the Spanish Musket Team, he has a deep understanding of the Musketeers' tactics," Seeing that Masato hesitated slightly, Ander immediately promoted himself.

"Oh? What is a Musketeer tactic? "Masaliang from later generations has heard a lot of theories of tactics, but after all, the theory is not as good as the practice, and Masara now wants to hear Andre's musket warfare.

Andre knew that this was Zhengliang studying his strength, so he immediately straightened his body, and then said: "I call this method of warfare Dutch wheel shooting. It is to divide the soldiers into several groups and shoot from left to right in small groups. Trained soldiers can complete the first group when the last group is finished, ensuring a steady stream of shots and great lethality, and is the nemesis of cavalry. ”

"Oh?" Masahiro became interested, especially when he heard the other party say that this method of warfare was very lethal to the cavalry, and his interest increased even more. At this time, the powerful daimyo, the main combat power was mainly cavalry. If you master such a cavalry nemesis tactic, it can be said to be extremely advantageous.

"How is this different from volleyfire?" While being interested, Masarashi also remembered the three-stage attack created by the Demon King in the future, strictly speaking, the three-stage attack is also a type of volleyed shot, which is different from the round shot that Ander just said.

"Platoon firing is mainly the first platoon to kneel and load after shooting, and then the second platoon starts firing, and the third platoon is ready to take turns, but the fourth platoon will not release the gun after that. Round-robins are fired from the left to a few or even dozens of people, ensuring that the first five rows can fire. Platoon is a tactic. The Spanish Muskets have largely given up. Endel replied.

It seems that this kind of volley shooting in the West is different from the three-stage attack of the Demon Emperor, if there is time in the future, it is necessary for Andel to study it as well, and then combine the advantages of these tactics. In this way, once the Luo family's musket team joins the battlefield, it will definitely be able to play its role greatly.

By this time, Masato had actually decided to hire Andre. Of course, there are some things that need to be determined before hiring.

"Andre, what kind of musket are you using?" Masarashi continued to ask.

"My lord, the most advanced thing now is the arquebus," replied Andre.

Is that really the case? After hearing this, Zhengliang said silently in his heart. Arquebuses were made by Europeans in the 15th century. This arquebus is mainly equipped with a crosshair and a door on the barrel, and the arquebus is ignited and fired. It would be more than two years before Japan first came into contact with the arquebus. It was then improved and named the Iron Cannon.

At this time, Daming should have also captured the arquebuses brought by some Europeans, but unfortunately these arquebuses similar to the ones currently prepared by Daming did not attract their excessive attention. It was not until later that European pirates and Japanese pirates harassed the Ming Dynasty more and more, and they were once again given improved arquebuses. They only began to pay attention to this weapon, and as a result, they invented more advanced orniths, and even a series of other muskets.

Later, more advanced flintlock muskets appeared, marking the end of the era of mechanically ignited muskets.

It seems that a workshop for the production of muskets will be formed as soon as possible. At the same time, he can also provide them with some manufacturing ideas from later generations, as for whether they can be made by chance at that time, it is really not something he can consider.

"Andre, do you know how to make muskets?" Come to think of it. Masarashi said tentatively. Until there is a large musket team in the territory, it must not be left unused by Endel. From the perspective of making the best use of people, Masahiro is ready to use him as an instructor and a craftsman. …,

"Your Excellency. I know a little bit about the manufacture of muskets, but I first need to provide you with a complete set of tools for making muskets in Europe, so that you can make muskets," said Andrew. He was indeed proficient in firearms, especially muskets, but it was a bit difficult to ask him to make them, at least in the absence of professional tools. Even if he has professional tools, he can only provide some manufacturing methods and experience, and he himself does not have any experience in the production of the whole process. Of course, in order to increase the confidence of Zhengliang to hire him, he still stubbornly said that he would make it.

"That's it!" Hearing this, Zhengliang nodded and said. It seems that the time will only have to ask him to give some advice to the craftsmen, and in the meantime, in the absence of a real musket team, he will be in charge of the soon-to-be-formed fire team. Anyway, as long as the formation is trained, once it is equipped with muskets, it can be used in battle.

"Your Excellency Masa, I am also very familiar with the use of artillery, but I only know the production process of the cannon in the road, and I don't know how to make the artillery" Since Masara will ask him about the production of muskets, then he should also ask about artillery, after all, the power of artillery is much greater than that of muskets.

"Okay, I know," Masarashi said, nodding. Compared with the technique of starting a musket, the technique of artillery is more profound. At least until real craftsmen are obtained, the idea of making artillery in-house can be put on hold for the time being. As for the future, Masahiro plans to take the method of temporarily finding a way to buy a few cannons from the Nanban as a weapon for attacking the city in the future.

"Andre, you have been officially hired by me, and the salary is 30 stone per year" Masashi later decided to hire the former captain of the Spanish Musket Team. After all, muskets will gradually become the main force in the Warring States period, although the foundation of the Luo family is still very thin, but it is still necessary to make some preparations in advance.

"30 stones?" Ander looked at Masayo suspiciously. He had no idea how many gold coins the 30 represented.

"Oh!" Masarashi patted his head and forgot that these Europeans measure things differently from those in Japan.

"In this way, for the time being, you will be given 10 taels of gold every year as a reward, and if you have other outstanding military exploits or contributions, you will be rewarded with some additional gold, what do you think?" Masara said. According to the current conversion rate in Japan, one tael of gold is equivalent to four copper coins, and if these gold are brought to Europe, it will appreciate by three to four times, which is already a very good treatment for Andrew.

"Gold?" As soon as he heard these two words, Andre's eyes instantly turned golden, and his saliva almost flowed out.

These guys are really gold worshippers, and now they haven't even seen the shadow of gold, just knowing the way, they are already like this. Seeing Andrew's expression, Masahiro couldn't help but think. (To be continued......)
