Chapter 187 Strange goods can live like a fish in the throat

Yu Feng is very confident, confident that he can perform wantonly on this stage in North Korea, from a dead runner to a supporting role, and then, or can also become the protagonist.

His confidence comes from the hard-trained soldiers in his Fengzi battalion, and from the muskets and firearms that are constantly produced every day in his artisan battalion. He didn't know if his superiority in weapons was beyond this era, but judging from the feedback he received from his training camp, it was estimated that even if it did not surpass, it was still ahead of the times, and a large part of the former professional soldiers in the training camp obviously preferred the muskets that could be fired without any arquebuses made by his craftsman battalion, and abandoned the old-fashioned arquebuses they were used to.

The old arquebus, firing one pellet per minute, was already the limit of what a skilled musketeer could do, but with this new musket, firing two pellets a minute, two or even five rounds per minute was no longer a dream. Moreover, the old-fashioned arquebus was too affected by weather factors, and on a rainy day, the combat power was greatly damaged, while the new-style musket did not have this concern.

Yu Feng's battle array, its main strategic construction idea, was still born from the "Spanish phalanx", which he had no choice. The limitations of the times made him only use his brains in this regard, after all, in this era when muskets began to show their hideousness, this tactical battle formation was undoubtedly the most advanced and combative.

In order to maintain uninterrupted firepower, the Spanish phalanx had a unique tactic called backward reloading, that is, after the arquebus or smoothbore gunners fired a volley, the soldiers retreated to the rear row in a row to load ammunition between platoons. When using a smoothbore gun, if there are more than 10 horizontal columns, it can ensure uninterrupted fire. This non-stop firing allowed the army to maximize the use of musketeers and spearmen in battle.

Obviously, the biggest benefit that Yu Feng's crossing brought him was to realize the benefits of flint muskets, and quickly use this new technology to equip the troops with new muskets. The efficiency of the new musket firing directly affects the combat effectiveness of the phalanx, thus bringing the tactics of the Spaniards' backward reloading technology to the extreme, that is to say, even in the face of the real Spanish phalanx, Yu Feng will not be able to defeat them, and in terms of firepower output, he will not fall behind at all, even if the opponent is a veteran who is skilled in a hundred battles.

In addition, he has an important measure in the Fengzi Camp, which he may not even be aware of. In addition to the hook gunner, there is a certain degree of protection on the body, that is, the "armor" that the Ming said, his musketeers basically have no protection except for the short-edged musket and the bracket for firing, at this point, as the main branch of his army, the musketeers who have lost the load have basically completely given up close combat, so that the mobility of the musketeers has been greatly enhanced, and even the fire output in the march of the team is no longer difficult. And the real formation of this tactic was in the late seventeenth century, and in Europe today, there are even some phalanxes in which musketeers carry spears on their backs!

Yu Feng was forced to use the hookspear with a greater chance of equipping melee combat only because of his economic predicament, but he didn't expect to hit it by mistake, but it was secretly in line with this advanced concept in the future.

Tactics ahead of the times, efficient and reliable weapons, with long-term training, a group of professional soldiers who have been formed, this is his Fengzi battalion, the source of his confidence, and the two contacts and battles with the Tartars also made him realize that the Manchu cavalry, which was almost demonized by the people of this era, was actually not so terrible. Although the same number of cavalry and infantry fought, in this era, the defeat of the infantry, that was a doubtful thing, however, he believed that when his Fengzi battalion faced the same number of cavalry, victory would definitely belong to him. As long as the hookgunners he protected the musketeers weren't dead, and the musketeers were carrying enough ammunition to keep them alive.

He knows this, but it seems that Cui Yanghao also knows this, and Yu Feng has always been in the game, this Cui Yanghao is a complete outsider! Yu Feng suddenly had a great interest in this Cui Yanghao, and at first, he thought that the other party was just a representative of a corrupt official of the Li Dynasty, a nobleman who coveted enjoyment and occasionally wanted to serve the country, but the other party was able to look so highly at the combat effectiveness of the Fengzi Battalion, which made him feel that this Cui Yanghao might not be simple.

In order to maintain the feudal ruling order in Korea, the Yi dynasty implemented a strict hierarchy. The highest rank – two classes is the dominant privileged hierarchy. There are two levels under it: "Zhongren" and "Xu Official".

Officials in finance, medicine, and translation were mainly held by Chinese officials, while lower-level officials at the central and local levels were held by Xu officials. They all belong to different strata of the ruling class. The good people, the good servants, and the untouchables are all the ruled class. A good man is a civilian in general. Neither a good man nor a good servant can serve as a government official, and he is a slave and maid, which is equivalent to a serf. At the bottom of society are the untouchables.

Cui Yanghao undoubtedly belongs to the privileged class, and from this point of view, he is somewhat similar to some officials in the "Westernization Movement" after the Celestial Empire, perhaps in terms of their own conduct and pleasure, they are no different from other officials, but when they face the crisis of the country, they see farther than others and do more than others.

"Don't rush to promise him, but don't refuse him either!" Yu Feng said to Velasco and Yun Qingshan, a smile on his face: "Do you know what it means?" ”

Can Yun Qingshan not know? He smiled knowingly and replied, "My subordinates understand what the adults mean, so I'll reply to him tomorrow and have a good talk with him!" ”

At the same time, Cui Yanghao, who was in Changyuan City, after sending away Velasco and Yun Qingshan, also returned to his back house, took off the wide big-brimmed hat on his head, and took a cup of tea from Daming brought by the maid, and slowly sipped it.

The strength of this person's "Velasco Business Group" was so huge that he couldn't accept it for a while, and even felt a little panicked. Although he signed a series of agreements with this merchant group, and even "leased" a small fishing port for them to go ashore to rest and recuperate, he single-handedly arranged it, which can be regarded as his political achievements, but he always thought that the situation was under his control, even if it was their previous record, he didn't take it too seriously, annihilated hundreds of Tartar cavalry, what are you kidding, such a number, you just coax yourself, can you really deceive everyone? In his opinion, this record is not necessarily very reliable.

But unreliable is unreliable, they did defeat those robbers, compared with the entire Korean army and those robbers who were about to collapse, they are also considered a strong army, at least in his opinion, the combat power of these people is much stronger than those soldiers of the three military governments, although he is very reluctant to admit this.

It was also because he saw this that he wrote to His Majesty, proposing to conclude an agreement with them, and if it was useful to them, he might as well use them. Fan people are the most important goods, this point, when he was dealing with them, he has deeply felt it, he believes that as long as they are given enough compensation, these people can still be driven.

However, today's scene made him a little uneasy, and he didn't know how such a small place in Mengjinpu could afford to raise so many soldiers, and according to the report of the spies he sent to deliver military rations and grass, these people were indeed composed of Fanren and Mingren, and besides, they were all soldiers, not even a single woman or child.

With such a strong army, he would not worry that the cities where he was in the abyss would be ravaged by robbers, but he would be worried about these people outside the city, with his understanding of the so-called "maritime merchants", that is, when there are people, they are well-behaved merchants, and when there is no one, they will not mind making a cameo appearance as a "pirate". Is the "Velasco Merchant Group" a well-behaved maritime merchant? Don't talk nonsense, what do you want so many armed soldiers to do, these soldiers are more than enough to occupy a small island.

In the past, he hoped that those Tartar robbers would not come, but now, he is now a little hopeful that those Tartar robbers will come sooner, drive tigers and wolves, and snipe and clam will fight. As a fisherman, he only needs to pay a little money and food, and even these money and food can be written off by the government, how can he do such a thing.

All, when he feasted Sir Velasco today, he revealed this meaning in and out of his words, and I don't know if this Sir understood his words, it shouldn't be, this person's Daming official words seem to be very good, why do you always don't understand the meaning.

He also discovered that in this Velasco business group, it seems that the status of this Yunqing Mountain Yunjun is not much lower than that of Sir Velasco, and even he feels a little higher, at least, when he says these seemingly sensitive topics, Sir Velasco is gulping down wine, but that Yunqing Mountain Yunjun can play haha with himself, and talk about it.

"Where's Zhenli?" He asked the maid who had been waiting on all sides. He suddenly remembered that when he was at the banquet just now, that Yun Qingshan had been staring at him, a beautiful dancing girl, and seemed to be a little tempted, if he had some misunderstanding of Yun Qingshan's status before, he could express his sincerity by doing what he liked and sending this dancing girl to.

"After taking a bath, she went back to her room!"

"Ask Park Wenqiang to send her to the residence of Yun Qingshan Yun Commander outside the city, and tell her that as long as I serve Yun Commander well, I will promote his family as a good person and get rid of my cheap status."

.... Very bloody book, newcomer works, the standard is good, friends who have spare time can go and see!
