The revolver is easier to use than the smooth-bore gun, but not everyone can understand it. It is because it can produce what kind of bullets and then develop a gun to use it. If there is no way to produce a bottom fire copper shell bullet, what's the use even if the revolver is developed? Unfortunately, not everyone understands this.

"A general is incompetent and exhausts the three armies. A good general naturally plays a decisive role in the battle situation." Hu Shan looked at Ding Junyue, who was a little confused and explained to her patiently, "But before this, there must be any kind of soldiers to use what kind of military strategy. Without the Yue family army, Yue Wumu could not achieve such great military achievements even if he had three heads and six arms."

Ding Junyue always has a big gap in understanding the old-style army. After all, she is only fifteen years old and has never experienced these things. Compared to Hu Shan, who had experienced leading troops before joining Ding Yi's sect, or Du Ziteng, who was born and raised in the garrison since childhood; Zhu Yong, who was originally a general, it was difficult for her to have the feeling of these three people - the essential difference between the old-style army and the new army trained according to Ding Yi's outline.

After Hu Shan spent a lot of time explaining to her, Ding Junyue stood up and bowed to Hu Shan: "Senior Brother, Junyue underestimated you before, you understand everything!" Hu Shan reached out to help her up, patted her on her shoulder and walked away, his back was a little silent.

Yes, he knew everything, and no one had been following Ding Yi for longer than him; not to mention that he was the general flag, and above the military strategy, he naturally had a great advantage over other people. There were many things that Hu Shan understood at once. But he knew very well his problem, that is, decisiveness, just like today. If it weren't for the words and deeds of Ding Junyue and Du Ziteng, who had encouraged him, he knew that he would probably not have stood up.

Decision for the vendor selling soup cakes may be just sprinkling more chopped green onions or cutting more meat; but for Hu Shan, it is human life. If his decision is wrong, he will bear the burden of many lives that should not have disappeared for it, even his family.

"I might have to study hard, and then go and take the Jinshi exam like Shichang. I will give the gentleman a face." Hu Shan walked into the lobby and stopped, spread his hands and said to Ding Yi, "Ci is not in charge of soldiers. My father has been teaching me since he was a child. Unfortunately, I can't do this. There are always many people and things that hinder..."

Ding Yi smiled and just said to Hu Shan: "You can do it."

"But, sir, I..." Hu Shan smiled bitterly. Although Ding Yi gave him affirmation, he was not an unfamiliar child. He knew his problem very well. He also knew that this problem was not so easy to solve. It was caused by different personalities and talents.

Ding Yi interrupted him: "You can do it."

"But I really..."

Ding Yi put down the teacup in his hand: "You can do it. Don't question yourself. Never do this."

"Yes, sir." Although Hu Shan did not cheer up immediately or found a solution to his problem, his waist straightened up, at least his back was no longer so quiet and powerless. Ding Yi could not give an answer to the problem immediately, and Hu Shan knew this very well, but he could understand what Ding Yi meant.

That is: face it.

He has to face his own problems.

Just as Ding Yi had to face the arrival of Shi Pu Shi Zhongyu, the Minister of Works, the Governor of Guangxi, and Guangdong, who also handled food and pay. Shi Pu got much more than Ding Yi. Whether it was the title of Prince Taibao or the appointment of Minister of Works, Ding Yi could not defeat him. Even if his actual power was far stronger than Ding Yi, Ding Yi was just the Governor of Guangxi military affairs, while Shi Pu directly governed the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, and also handled food and pay.

Of course, Ding Yi would not want to meet Shi Pu, what to say to him? He said that I finally opened up the situation and welcomed to pick peaches? Or was he waiting to see how Shi Man ended? He didn't mind Shi Pu's competing for merit because Hou Dagou was definitely not Yi's fellow. Ding Yi's anger was still extremely strong. Ding Yi didn't care about Shi Pu's replacement for his position, but it was not the same as his saint's nature.

If Shi Pu summoned him, Ding could use the imperial edict to not allow him to leave Huaiji without permission, but Shi Pu would come to see him, so he would not be able to avoid it. Moreover, there was another reason Shi Pu came to Huaiji, which was to be ordered by the saint to send the wife of Liu in the deputy chief censor's mansion to reunite, which was to follow the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager.

With Shi Pu's qualifications and official positions, Ding Yi was furious, and had to leave the county town to greet him.

Of course, Ding Yi is not an unknown person. With his personality, it is absolutely impossible to ask him to wait on the side of the official road. He was along the river in a sandbank called Qiu Feng. Ding Yi taught people to build a shed and wait in the shed. On the official road, Liu Tie and a team of students were sent to wait.

Hu Shan sat in the awning with Ding Yi, quite uneasy, and finally couldn't help asking: "Sir, Shi Taibao is the censor of Yonglenian..." This person is not only a high-ranking official, but also a veteran who has been through several dynasties. Hu Shan felt that Ding Yi seemed not good. He has a kind nature, so he was a little nervous, "... He is so old again, why not as good as a student to wait on the official road?"

Ding Yi rubbed his temples and nodded. He knew that Hu Shan's proposal was very appropriate, so he taught him to get on the boat and go to the official road to the east, and accompanied Liu Tie to wait for the arrival of Shipu Shi Taibao. Dozens of river boats were swam around the sandbank, and the sides of the ships were reinforced with wooden boards, leaving a gap where the muzzle could be extended. When passing the hull sideways, twelve muskets could be extended at the same time. A spring twisting cannon was also installed at the bow of the ship. The fuse grenade could be thrown out in the wind, and there was still a rough accurate head within seventy steps. Of course, this accurate head was not a precisely fired bow or the concept of an original sniper rifle like Ding Junyue. However, after estimating the distance, the explosion time was changed by shearing the fuse to form a flowering effect in the air, which still had good lethality for the river boat.

However, the boat troops led by Xing Dahe prefer to use this metal spring twisting cannon to fire another type of shell: chain shell.

A chain bullet with a range of about 100 meters and a kilogram weighing a few kilograms, and a super slow speed caused by mechanical torque launch. If used in naval battles, it would be really funny. Even if the chain bullet fired by gunpowder did not hit the sail rod, the chain bullet hit the sail, but it would only penetrate a hole.

The super pocket chain bullet used by Xing Dahe is afraid that it can't even be punched out of a hole, so it will be bounced away by the soft sails; but when used on rivers, many hard sails on traditional Chinese ships are made of sails, and the rotating and flying chain bullets are enough to tear the opponent's hard sails into the big hole.

As long as you get a few shots, the sail will be torn to pieces and cannot borrow the wind. After being approached, the musket soldiers with the ship's side boards as cover began to fire volleys. Of course, this can only be regarded as suppressing firepower. Twelve smoothbore guns are basically difficult to accurately hit targets of humanoid size at this distance. It is also possible to hit the ship as a deterrent. If you do not surrender, when you reach about thirty meters, the grenades will fly over and only one or two thrown onto the ship. How big can the river ship be? It's basically over.

It was with such tactics that Hou Dagou's navy almost did not dare to appear in the Xijiang River Basin of Huaiji County and Zhaoqing Prefecture.

The rain in early summer came as soon as possible. Liu Tie picked a few banana leaves and covered it with Hu Shan and others. Fortunately, the rain came quickly and fell quickly. Soon after, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the east road. Twenty or thirty war horses rushed over. Liu Tie smiled and wanted to go forward to answer, but was pulled by Hu Shan. The twenty or thirty war horses did not slow down and rushed past them. The official road in this county was not a highway in later generations. It was not wide, and it could only barely accommodate two or three horses. If he ran so fast, he had to pass one by one to be safer. After a while, the twenty or thirty horses were all kicked by hundreds of flying horse hooves and their heads and faces, and they were all like a row of clay men.

The horse team ran over and it took a long time to turn around and ran over again. The knight in front of him stopped the horse and laughed, "Haha, don't be surprised, this horse is a bad guy, I'm sorry for you!" He didn't even mean to dismount, so he immediately said, "Taibao is still two miles away from here, where is Ding Rujin? You can ask him to come and wait! Everyone, it's still time to borrow his clothes! Hahaha!" After saying that, the horse galloped away again, and twenty or thirty cavalry behind him followed one after another, so Tie Liu, Hu Shan and others poured mud and water from head to toe.

"Damn it!" Liu Tie was so angry that he was a terrible person. He was bullying by his power. But he didn't know that he had someone bullied him today. "Senior Brother, what did you do just now? Bad! Let's go, let's go, everyone will change into a dry dress..."

Hu Shan still pressed Liu Tie without letting go, and said to the group of students behind him in a deep voice: "Don't move, just stand like that."

Shi Pu arrived here after about half an hour. He was about seventy-five years old. He was not as good as Wang Ji. He could ride a fierce horse and use a big sword. He led his troops from the capital to Guangdong. Although he was sitting in a sedan chair, he could see that he was quite thin due to fatigue. However, Zhao Fu, the commander-in-chief who came with him, was majestic and upright, riding on the high-headed horse and looking out to show his might.

He looked at the twenty or thirty people including Hu Shan on the side of the road, and the mud and water were dry. He stood there straight, like a stone sculpture, and his eyes were cold. He knew the soldiers, and he was as stupid as a wooden chicken, but that was it! The twenty or thirty mud monkeys were welcomed, but he couldn't help but subconsciously put away the contempt in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
