Chapter Fifty-Four: A Hundred Households Move to the Western Phalanx

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and immediately someone ran to the target in the distance, shouting loudly whether it was neutral or not.

"Master Yu is good at archery!" Yu Feng threw the firearm in his hand to the guards beside him, but he wiped his hands with a handkerchief handed over by the guards, and said to the middle-aged man next to him with a smile: "I smiled, I haven't practiced for many days, but I'm rusty!" ”

The middle-aged man's surname is Bu, he is a steward of the Jining Bu family, he has been coming to Xuejia Island for almost half a month, and he has met Yu Feng a few times, Yu Feng went to Xuejia Island this time, one is to inspect the salt field, and the other is that Zhao Zongqi mysteriously said that he arrived on the island, and wanted to give him some surprises, remembering that there was such a steward from the Bu family living in his Zhuangzi, so he brought him with him.

It has been more than half a month since Yu Feng last put on a posture in Zhuangzi like a great enemy. On the same day, Zhao Lai brought back the letterhead of the cloth ruler, and the cloth ruler said in the letter that the cloth family had a great interest in Yu Feng's proposal, and as for some small troubles that could not be put on the table, naturally there was no need to take it to heart. That is to say, Yu Feng's headache has been taken over by the Bu family, but Rao is so, and Yu Feng does not dare to be careless.

It wasn't until a few days later, the butler of the Bu family, named Burun, hurried from Jining and talked with Yu Feng for a long time in the inner room, that the tense atmosphere in Zhuangzi gradually disappeared. This time, Bu Qi not only brought a handwritten letter from the local head of the Bu family, but also told him personally that Zhang Qinan, a hundred households tried by Shandong Jinyi Wei Qianhu, had been recommended by Shandong Jinyi Wei Qianhu to serve in Nanzhen Fusi because he abided by his duty and was loyal to his ministry.

I don't know what means the Bu family used, whether it was a bright rise and a secret descent, or an idle exile? Yu Feng thought secretly. No matter what the means, anyway, Yu Feng doesn't have to worry about this brocade guard coming to trouble him again for the time being. However, because the Bu family has done such a thing, Shandong Jinyiwei Thousand Households, since the thousands of households, all know that the Yu Feng Yu patrol of this Lingshan is the relationship between his own adults, and from then on, even if Yu Feng tosses here no matter how bad, there is no Jinyi Wei to join in the fun. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

The strategy of the Bu family is actually very simple, but it is just not the right thing for people. Yes, that is to be the enemy of the entire Jinyi system, but to people, it is a personal grudge. The Bu family is not a big fool, so it is very decisive to choose the latter road, a family that can have a little energy in the court and the opposition, it is really not difficult to try a hundred households, operate it in Beijing, change the position of a trial hundred households, transfer out of Shandong, and even spend much money.

After promising to let Zhang Baihu have a place to go, he stuffed some silver money into the thousands of households in this thousand households, and this Jinyi Wei Qianhu has all the face, and he also explained the past in front of his subordinates, and what he spent was just a few good words on the paperwork, and recommended talents to Shangfeng, and this matter was very simple.

This is easy for the cloth family to do, but if you let Yu Feng do it, it will be extremely difficult. Yu Feng was anxious to think of using the strategy of harming people's lives, and in order to achieve the same goal, the Bu family only thought of moving the other party to the place, and the method was light. The two are in different positions, and they naturally look at things from different angles.

Burun came, of course, not simply to report a message and reassure Yu Feng. At this time, he still shouldered to check the specific situation of the private port that Yu Feng said, and then reported what he saw to Mrs. Bu, and then Mrs. Bu decided how to use this private port to make some profits in maritime trade. Of course, if nothing else, this Burun should be the Bu family's steward in this port in the future.

This time to Zhaojia Village, I saw the private port that was beginning to take shape, there were Western ships parked in the port, and several sea ships were coming in and out. The Bu family can send him, naturally not a strong man caught casually, it must be a targeted professional talent, what is the situation of the Zheng family now, he is also clear, the port of this Yu Feng has a relationship with the Zheng family, then, naturally, he will not worry about any trouble at sea, the two most headache problems in sea trade, the port and transportation can be solved, if you can't make money, it can only prove that it is not the Bu family is not the material for doing business.

reported what he saw and heard one by one, and soon, the Bu family reacted, and wrote back to him asking him to have a good relationship, at least, the relationship between the two families should maintain the current good and harmonious state. While negotiating around the purchase of sea vessels, we strive to start this profitable business as soon as possible.

In this case, Yu Feng invited him to Xuejia Island for a walk, how could he not be willing?

"My lord's salt is not necessarily worse than the official soldiers of the imperial court!" Bu Run praised sincerely: "When Young Master Qi did the inspection at the beginning, I also came here, and those salt dices, compared with the subordinates of adults, it is simply blind!" ”

"Practice more, practice more and you will eventually come out!" Yu Feng said with a smile, except for some of the new training carried out by Velasco, these salts can't be seen by Burun, and he doesn't particularly avoid Burun, and now he relies on the Bu family, he knows it himself, instead of hiding it, it is better to be open and honest, one to let the Bu family see his own value, and the other is to dispel some unrealistic ideas of the Bu family, so as not to hurt the harmony when he gets it.

For this idea, he also deliberately let Zhao Deng and Zhao Gui's Yanding Brigade change their defenses once, which almost showed all their strength in front of Burun, I believe that if there is no shortage of smart people in the Bu family, they will definitely consider the two options of friendly cooperation with themselves, or risk losses to seize their own port, choose which one is beneficial to them.

The most shocking thing about this change of defense was not the cloth ruler, but Velasco, who had just been promoted to the small flag under Yu Feng. Originally, he was very shocked that Yu Feng had gathered six or seven hundred people to stick to the manor, but when he saw that Yu Feng's warrant came out, hundreds of people drove over, and his heart was more than shocked, but more surprised.

What era is this, this is the era when Spain can conquer the Americas with two hundred soldiers, with thousands of soldiers at its disposal, and these soldiers' weapons, discipline, morale. It doesn't look much worse than the regular Spanish soldiers in his eyes, although this army has some small flaws, but he believes that if this army, if he trains, not to mention completely compared with the invincible Spanish army, but with the level of the Spanish army, it is still possible.

Of course, these thoughts of his are to occasionally talk to those old subordinates who have a deep relationship with him, if he knows that in this eastern continent, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people fighting at every turn, and these thousands of people thrown into such a battlefield, I am afraid that they will not even be able to afford a bubble and will be gone, I am afraid that they will not have such ambitions.

What he is now assisting Yu Feng in training is a salt brigade, although it is a bit different from the army he imagined to train Yu Feng, he still puts great enthusiasm into it, and he works with the soldiers every day. Although the soldiers were a little resistant to this strange-looking ghost, they had more contact, and found that this ghost also ate white rice and spoke the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and the adults seemed to value this ghost very much, so they slowly became acquainted, and finally, they actually followed Zhao Deng, Wei Yangren Wei Yangren shouted.

Wislak's training was carried out in strict accordance with the drill of the Spanish infantry phalanx.

The Spanish infantry phalanx had two different companies: the company of spearmen and the company of musketeers. This point coincides with Yu Feng's weapon preparation, although Yu Feng's salt and musketeers are a little less, in the Spanish phalanx or later the Spanish improved phalanx, the number of musketeers can reach up to 75%. However, the blacksmith's workshop, which could not stand the wind, was still making muskets, and it was entirely possible to reach this ratio over time.

So, at present, Velasco's training is still dominated by the company of spearmen, which is not known, but he was startled at a glance, and after Yu Feng saw Velasco's professional training, he realized how superficial the things of the future that he understood at the beginning were in front of professionals. In addition to emphasizing discipline, of course, discipline has always been the foundation of the army, basically, his previous training can be said to be full of mistakes.

For example, the distance between spearmen is not static, and there are different intervals for different enemies. For infantry, the distance is about an arm's arm, and for cavalry, a punch is enough. As for the change of formation, it is necessary to issue orders to change at any time after the officer on the left side of the team determines the form of the battlefield.

Also, the spears in the hands of the spearmen have a specified angle, what enemy, what angle to use, and then change it with different passwords, and it is also up to the officer to improvise.

And all these orders must be clearly written into the drill code, so that there will be no orders with confusing meanings, and these drill codes are the first courses to become soldiers for the later recruit training, which must be memorized by rote.

In the face of phalanx tactics, the personal martial arts in the era of cold weapons are basically useless, even if you are a martial arts master, facing dozens of spears that have stabbed you, the result is also a dead word, not to mention the musket that covers all your space dozens of steps away. Therefore, this phalanx tactics has very strict requirements for discipline, when you can't advance, when you don't retreat, you can make a phalanx of chaos, and in wartime, there is only one way to deal with the source of this chaos, kill it immediately!

Yu Feng also set an iron law for this reason, and resolutely eliminated all factors that threatened the phalanx, and when training, the way to deal with it was to punish the military stick, and even to make it clear that when fighting, it was to lose his head.

After Velasco's rectification, these salts also seem to have been sublimated, and their actions are more iron-blooded, more like an army with a modern style, Yu Feng seems that in addition to the different weapons and equipment, these salts are already a bit like his comrades in the recruit company back then.

It is worth mentioning that because there are musicians and drummers responsible for passing military orders in the Spanish phalanx, the battlefield relies on the bell flag to transmit orders, which is consistent in the East and the West, but Yu Feng will go where to find so many drummers for a while and a half, and the maintenance and replacement of this drum is also a little troublesome. Although it is a bit nondescript, it has solved a lot of problems. The only flaw is that in addition to the rumbling muskets from time to time in this Zhaojia Village, there are also bursts of piercing suona sounds, and the musical instrument store in Lingshan City has also made a small fortune--- Yu Feng bought the suona in the four towns and eight miles at a high price, so that when these people want to do red and white ceremonies, they find that the suona hand they found is actually not suona.
