The 815th Gift-giving

Zu Zepei held a pot that he had never seen before and walked over.

"Everyone else gives you weapons, armor and whatever, and they're worried that something will happen to you."

Zu Zepei said: "I'm different, I believe you will be safe." So, a pot has been prepared for you. ”

"What is the origin of this pot, why have I never seen it."

Wang Fuchen looked left and right.

"Of course you haven't." Zu Zepei said, "This is a new pot that the king has just developed recently, and it is very complicated. But it is said not to rust and is easy to wipe clean. ”

Specifically, Zu Zepei couldn't say.

It's an aluminum pot.

Yang Chengying mixed bauxite, charcoal, and salt, and then heated it with nitrogen, and then shaved off the salt and excess sodium to obtain metal aluminum.

The whole process is done in the laboratory, so the amount is very small and very valuable.

After casting, Yang Cheng used it to stew vegetables.

Aluminum pans have the advantages of being lightweight, durable, fast heating and rust-free.

Zu Zepei asked Yang Chengying to give him this aluminum pot because Li Dingguo was about to go away.

As a gift, he gave it to Li Dingguo.

However, due to the immaturity of the supporting technology of aluminum making, this pot is white and yellow, and the texture is a little rough.

"I am grateful for the general's love for me."

Li Dingguo knew a little about the origin of this pot, and immediately accepted it gratefully.

"Although Daming has a Penghu Inspection Division, Jilong Island has always been the same as Heilongjiang, it is a very dangerous place, you should be more careful in doing things."

Zu Zepei admonished.

"I've written it down."

Li Dingguo nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, I heard someone say, "The king is coming."

Li Dingguo followed the prestige, but saw that the guards retreated one after another, and made way for a way.

Zu Zepei also stepped aside.

Let Yang Chengying walk in front of Li Dingguo.

"King!"

Li Dingguo saluted with everyone.

"Here's for you." Yang Chengying unwrapped the cloth and showed a delicate short sword.

The hilt of the dagger is inlaid with a crystal clear diamond, which was a birthday gift from a Portuguese merchant to Yang Chengying.

Although the blade of the sword is made of pure iron, it is carved with fine patterns.

At a glance, you can tell that it is from the hand of the famous swordsmith Ouyang Hai.

Li Dingguo took the short sword and had some thoughts in his heart.

Probably because the king wanted me to fall into a siege, so that I could kill myself.

As the king's guard, how can he be caught by the natives.

Thinking of this, Li Dingguo's mood was a little complicated.

Yang Chengying patted him on the shoulder and said, "This sword is not for you to commit suicide, but to be surrounded and taken out for the natives to see."

Tell them that you are a great officer under my command, and that they may ransom you back with money if they do not kill you.

In this way, I can arrange for someone to ransom you, after all, it is easy to get a thousand troops, and it is difficult to find one. ”

"The king......!"

Li Dingguo's eyes were foggy, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.

"Don't say anything superfluous, when you get to the army, you have to look at yourself as a commander, and you have to think a little more about everything."

Yang Chengying said with his fists clenched.

This is the highest courtesy he has to his subordinates.

Li Dingguo returned the salute with his fists and said, "With General Shang here, the minister will not disappoint the king." ”

Yang Chengying nodded, turned to Wang Fuchen and Cao Bianjiao and said, "After seeing you off, come to the racecourse to see me." ”

"Yes."

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen responded to the order.

Although he has not yet gone to sea, when Li Dingguo takes a step out of the guard, he is no longer a guard.

Rather, he was a general who was subordinate to the new army sequence in Liaodong.

The relationship between the guard and the general is very delicate.

It will never be possible to get along like before, unless both of them become generals.

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen hurriedly bid farewell to Li Dingguo, and rode to the horse farm on the outskirts of Shenyang.

Flags are hunting on the horse farm, and horses are galloping.

This is a newly built horse farm for training cavalry after Yang Chengying recovered Shenyang.

It was mainly experimental, that is, the application of new weapons to cavalry.

A qualified cavalryman undergoes fifty-five different training programs, twenty-two for cavalry, eighteen for infantry, and fifteen for basic training.

Yang Chengying stood on the point platform and watched the various training of the cavalry with a telescope.

"The King's ......"

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen appeared on the side behind him, clasping their fists and saluting.

"Do you know the difference between the traditional cavalry and the cavalry I trained?"

Yang Chengying looked at them: "What are the advantages and disadvantages of training cavalry in this way?" ”

"The cavalry trained by the king is like a flying wall when it moves, and the stragglers are brave in front of it, and they are vulnerable."

Cao Bianjiao replied, "Even the Eight Banners were defeated by the king's saber. ”

"The disadvantage is that if you encounter a cavalry shooting like in the era of Genghis Khan, I'm afraid it will be enough to choke."

Wang Fuchen's words changed, "It's a pity that Genghis Khan has been dead for many years, and even the tomb can no longer be found." ”

Clearly depreciating and boasting!

Yang Chengying glanced at him and said, "You can speak." Then let me ask you again, why did you want to shoot in the time of Genghis Khan? ”

"One is a war horse, and the other is a man." Wang Fuchen replied.

Seeing Yang Chengying waiting, he hurriedly continued: "Mongolian horses have good endurance and are easy to feed, but the relationship between breeding and cultivation and war horses is not as good as before.

Second, the Mongol cavalry, with the exception of a very few, had a few who could eat well. If you don't have enough to eat for a long time, you can shoot arrows with a bow. ”

Yang Chengying was noncommittal.

"Houjin's cavalry is not small, but there are not many cavalry shooters. In the final analysis, it is still the question of materials, as well as the cost of training cavalry. ”

Cao Bianjiao took over the conversation.

"Both men and horses are important, and so are the weapons used."

Yang Chengying said: "I have prepared people, horses and new weapons for you. ”

Cao Bianjiao and Wang Fuchen looked at each other.

Historically, Mr. Zhang often said to the children of the Eight Banners, "The Qing Dynasty won the world with bow horses", and taught the children of the Eight Banners to train bow horses.

The world really thought that he was relying on a bow horse, but he was not.

The Eight Banners in history, under the hard work of Huang Taiji for more than ten years, have developed from the original heavy infantry and heavy cavalry (the Bayala Protector Army is divided into infantry cavalry) into a mixed army of infantry, cavalry and firearms.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the great battle in the first year of Dashun Yongchang, Li Zicheng faced the most elite troops in the East in the seventeenth century.

Fortunately, Yang Chengying was born out of thin air and interrupted the process in advance.

Otherwise, if you really have to face such an army, it will be fruitless if you don't fight for one or two decades.

In order to adapt to group operations, Yang Chengying cultivated modern cavalry.

However, after a trip to the northeast region, I found that not only was it not suitable for group operations in places with high mountains and dense forests, but even people and war horses were very inappropriate.

In order to fight against Tsarist Russia in the future, Yang Chengying decided to train a new army.

"Solanga, Deleb!"

Yang Cheng gave an order.

Two men dressed very distinctively stepped onto the podium.

"In the future, they will be the head of the Sauron Department, stationed in Qiqihartun."

Yang Chengying said: "The people you want will be provided by them and the Daur Ministry. ”
