When Zhu Di heard this, he said to Zhang Yifan: "My father said that no matter how good the formation training is, it can't compare to the confrontation, and no matter how good the confrontation is, it can't compare to the actual battle!" Now I have only completed the queue training, and I plan to divide the team against ...... in the next month" Speaking of this, he paused, looked at Zhang Yifan, showed a little smile, and then said: "If you win the competition, you will be rewarded with that reward, then I will give some more." Every time you fight, you will be rewarded if you win, and you will be punished if you lose. Guaranteed intensity of confrontation training! Hearing this, Zhang Yifan nodded, a little happy.

King Yan trained his troops, so he didn't have to worry about logistics and materials. It will be easier for him to give money to reward him than others.

This kind of training will definitely be effective. In addition, Zhang Yifan has also seen a saying in later generations.

It is said that Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array is actually relatively easy to practice. Even if it's a new recruit, it's no problem, just care about a few of your own actions, and it's no problem to become a stronger army with good cooperation.

However, there is a problem, since the Jiajing period, no one has trained such a powerful army as the Qi family's army, even if Qi Jiguang's military book is placed there, and there is no reappearance of the Qi family's army according to the practice.

The reason why this is so is because no one can guarantee the full supply of materials, grain and grass, and there is no guarantee of the full amount of military salaries and rewards.

An army with iron discipline is not only punished by punishment, but also rewarded and given to the sergeants motivation and expectations.

If you look at it from this point of view, you can know that Qi Jiguang will not only be a military talent, but also how to behave in the world and know how to hug his thighs, otherwise, there would be no achievements in history.

And now, whether Zhu Di is training or leading troops, he will not have material problems, and the conditions are much better than Qi Jiguang.

Zhang Yifan thought about this, and hoped that through Zhu Di's efforts, he could really win that blue jade! He was thinking about this, but Zhu Di thought he was worried, so he stretched out his hand to collect his strength, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely win that blue jade and fight for the two of us!" After finishing speaking, he left Zhang Yifan here and went to train again.

Looking at Zhu Di's enthusiasm, Zhang Yifan remembered. In this competition, Zhu Di really had to let go, and if he failed in the end, it would really be a bit of a blow.

Even if it has been said before, if you fail, you will sum up your experience and make progress. After all, who doesn't love success anyway?

In this Ming Dynasty, in addition to Jing Jing, Zhu Di is the best for himself. Even if he is so good to himself because of Jing Jing's relationship.

And that blue jade, arrogant, looks down on himself. Although, let him continue to die, let his character develop, sooner or later someone will clean him up.

It can be said that the crown princess is also kind to herself. The crown princess is going to be the queen in the future, and there is not much demand, and it is not easy to repay her.

But she definitely doesn't want her uncle to have an accident, and hopes that her uncle will be safe, right? In this case, it is guaranteed to defeat Lan Yu in this competition, which can not only make Zhu Di and himself raise their eyebrows, but also hit Lan Yu and let him restrain his character, which is also a good thing for him, and can be regarded as a return to the crown princess?

Thinking of these in his heart, Zhang Yifan made a decision to add another layer of insurance to this competition. So, he shouted again: "Fourth brother, come here!" Zhu Di returned to Zhang Yifan after a while, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" I'm training! ”

"The Mandarin Duck Array is currently equipped with no firearms, aren't you going to use them?" Zhang Yifan immediately asked him. Qi Jiguang's army had firearms, and the long-range archers who suppressed the Japanese invaders.

According to the record in the "New Book of Ji Xiao", the musket used by Qi Jiguang at that time was longer than the effective range of bow and arrow training.

In fact, Qi Jiguang attaches great importance to the projection of long-range firepower. After he was transferred to the north to lead the troops, the car battalion he formed, from artillery to muskets to bows and arrows, was multi-level, different distances, very complete, and the firepower was very fierce.

At this time, Zhu Di heard Zhang Yifan's words, so he replied to him and said: "With this mandarin duck array, there is no need for firearms, the range is short, it is not accurate, and it is not easy to use without bows and arrows." It can only be used on specific occasions, and it is only useful for a limited time! "At this time, the firearms were still very rudimentary firearms, commonly known as firearms.

It was not until the first year of Jiajing that the Ming army obtained Western arquebuses from two captured Portuguese ships in the Battle of Xicaowan in Xinhui, Guangdong, and began to imitate arquebuses.

Zhang Yifan listened, remained silent, and just asked: "Then take me to see the firearms, I haven't seen it yet, maybe I can come up with something?" As soon as he heard this, Zhu Di was immediately happy.

This brother-in-law, nothing else, is just a smart brain, and there are often good things under the whims.

Maybe after looking at the firearms, you can really come up with a good thing like a mandarin duck array. So, he immediately took Zhang Yifan to visit the firearms.

Zhu Di was very enthusiastic, and after getting the firecracker, he gave Zhang Yifan a careful introduction, and also conducted a drill.

Zhang Yifan, pretending to see it for the first time, asked a few questions. Of course, if I really want to say it, it is indeed the first time I have actually seen this kind of antique, two-person musket.

At the end, after Zhu Di finished introducing and practicing firearms, he asked with a little expectation: "Yifan, how do you feel?" ”

"I want to think about it!" Zhang Yifan listened to it and pretended to think about it, but in fact he was just thinking about the words. As for what he was going to say, he had already planned it.

When Zhu Di heard this, he was not in a hurry, but waited patiently. He knew that if Zhang Yifan could come up with something good, it would definitely be of great help to him.

If nothing else, let's talk about the mandarin duck array. Originally, he was going to challenge Lan Yu, but in fact, he was just relying on one breath.

However, when Zhang Yifan came up with the Mandarin Duck Array, the more he practiced, the more confident he became. Otherwise, he is not stupid, and he can't still work so hard for a game without a little hope!

Not to mention, this time, he waited for a surprise again. Seeing Zhang Yifan raise his head, he no longer pondered, and said to him: "Look, if we fight the Japanese Invaders, we must be mobile, but what about dealing with the Japanese Invaders who like close combat, if we fight purely physically, I am afraid that we will not be able to kill too much." Therefore, I think it is necessary to increase the number of firearms, so that we can give the maximum possible damage to the Japanese pirates! "One of the major advantages of firearms over bows and arrows is that a soldier wearing armor may be able to continue fighting with a lot of arrows hanging on his body, but once he is shot, he will definitely lose his combat effectiveness.

And afterwards, often do not survive. When Zhu Di heard this, he was a little disappointed, and immediately shook his head and replied: "I have already said just now, there are too many shortcomings of this firearm, such as ......" When he wanted to say it again, he was stopped by Zhang Yifan.

I only heard Zhang Yifan say to him: "I know this, you don't need to say it again." Let me ask you, is it possible to make this firearm bigger, but because it is easy to carry, it can't be at the level of a cannon, it's too cumbersome......" Seeing that Zhu Di was still a little puzzled, he continued to explain: "Look, the Japanese like to fight at close range, so let's increase the ...... of the gun" Speaking of this, he asked Zhu Di for his waist knife again, and then drew it on the ground, and he drew it as a tiger squat cannon invented by Qi Jiguang.

It's a bit like the Chinese pastoral dog sitting on the ground with its front feet straight. Compared with other guns, the Tiger Squat Cannon is very small and can be carried by individual soldiers.

Scatter projectile spray, killing a large area, the disadvantage is the short distance. It is certainly not possible to deal with the cavalry, but it is just right to deal with the Japanese pirates.

In fact, Qi Jiguang invented this tiger squat cannon according to the characteristics of the Japanese Kou. Zhang Yifan explained according to what he drawn, and finally said to Zhu Di: "This kind of small artillery, loaded with gunpowder and gravel in advance, can be fired as soon as possible even if it is ambushed, it can kill and injure the brave people among the Japanese who lead the charge, and at the same time can give yourself time to set up the formation." What do you think? ”

"Yes, yes!" When Zhu Di heard this, he was very excited, grabbed Zhang Yifan's shoulder and said,

"Even if it's a rainy day, as long as it's wrapped in an oilcloth in advance, it can still be used, anyway, it's just a cannon, and it's enough to shoot the brave people of the Japanese Invaders!"

"Ahhh......h

"Fourth brother, you have too much strength, it hurts me!"

"Ahhh When Zhu Di heard this, he laughed heartlessly, and he didn't mean to apologize at all.

Zhang Yifan didn't want to pay attention to him, but he still had an idea to say, so he stepped aside, squatted on the edge of a powder keg, reached in, pretended to fish a few times, and then said: "Fourth brother, why is this gunpowder so powerful?" This is a bit against the will of later generations, but in this era, it is true.

When Zhu Di heard this, he also walked over, still explaining with a smile: "You don't know, this gunpowder is made of three raw materials according to a certain ratio, if this ratio is not right, then it will not be so powerful." ”

"Is that so?" Zhang Yifan pretended to be curious, looked at the handful of gunpowder in his hand, and then asked, "Then the gunpowder I grabbed was also matched according to the proportion you said?" ”

"Of course!" Zhu Di listened and said without thinking. Zhang Yifan listened, pretended to look at the gunpowder in his hand carefully, and then said to Zhu Di: "Then I don't think it's right!" ”

"What's wrong?" When Zhu Di heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, and he asked with doubts. Even he squatted down, right next to the powder keg, scooped up a handful of gunpowder, looked at it carefully, and asked, "What's wrong?" When Zhang Yifan heard this, he looked at him and asked, "Can you guarantee that the ratio of this gunpowder in my hand must be the ratio you said?" ”

"......" Zhu Di was a little speechless when he heard it, so he could only explain to Zhang Yifan,

"Not necessarily, but it's pretty much fine." When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately asked: "What if it's much worse?" Will it become more powerful or less powerful? ”
