The theory of late-mover advantage is Li Yangong's summary of the battlefield and has not been practiced on the battlefield.

But this time as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion of the Sixth Brigade Ding'an Regiment gave Li Yangong an opportunity to practice his ideas.

While leading his battalion to Xuzhou, Li Yangong was also constantly communicating with the company's front-line commanders.

Regarding Li Yangong's theory of shooting backwards, several company commanders gave their own experiences.

When fighting in Annan, they initially faced the Northern Mo army. Although the Northern Mo army was supported by the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan and had some firearms, there was still a generational gap with the artillery in the southeast, so there was no artillery fire at all. link.

When fighting Hou Li's army, Li Yangong said that a situation did arise.

In the later stages of the war, Houli purchased a large number of naval guns and artillery pieces from Westerners, and also built bastions and defense lines for defense. At this time, the artillerymen of both sides were trying their best to ensure that they did not expose themselves, and strived to flatten the enemy with a single bombardment. artillery positions.

When they arrived at the front line, their officers and soldiers basically agreed with Li Yangong's covert combat theory and believed that the artillery position should remain as silent as possible and cover the position of the position before the enemy's artillery launched an attack.

Once the enemy's artillery position starts to attack, immediately bomb the enemy's artillery position and eliminate the opponent's artillery.

Li Yangong had solved the theoretical problem, but there was a problem before him.

That is how to quickly determine the location of the enemy's position after the enemy fires artillery.

And ensure that one's own artillery can accurately hit the enemy's artillery position after determining the location of the enemy's position.

As a last resort, Li Yangong could only submit this problem to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War also attaches great importance to Li Yangong's theory.

For a long time, artillery and muskets have been the key to the Southeast's ability to defeat the Ming army.

Southeast is not only advanced in weapons, but military theory is equally important.

Grand Governor Su Ze's theory of musket shooting turned the musketeers, who were originally archers' replacements, from a long-range auxiliary combat unit into the main force of the infantry.

Xiong Kuang's cavalry combat theory rediscovered the cavalry that was about to disappear on the battlefield, and began to play a greater role on the battlefield.

However, artillery theory alone is not developing rapidly in the Southeast Army, and there is even a vague possibility that it will be surpassed by the Navy.

Army Minister Lin Liangjun saw the theory summarized by Li Yangong and immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss the issue.

Everyone discussed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

Professional problems require professional people to solve them. This is obviously not just a military problem, but an arithmetic problem.

So a group of fortune tellers from Tiangong Academy were respectfully invited to the Ministry of War by Lin Liangjun.

Lin Liangjun had a headache. He was most afraid of dealing with scholars in his life.

This was mainly due to the psychological shadow left behind when he was a student of Grand Governor Su Ze, so most of the time he would rather fight outside than return to Nanjing.

However, the War Department had accumulated too many things, and now that the small-scale battles between all parties had gradually subsided, it was time to prepare for the decisive battle against the Ming court in Nanjing, so Su Ze recalled Lin Liangjun from abroad to Nanjing.

After assigning the topic to the professors and students of the Department of Mathematics of Tiangong Academy, Lin Liangjun immediately left here as if he were running away.

The adjutant asked in confusion: "Minister, don't you listen to the discussion of these masters?"

Lin Liangjun immediately said: "Listen? Can you understand?"

Lin Liangjun remembered the fear of being dominated by arithmetic when he was a child. The last time he visited Su Ze, Su Ze came up with a set of arithmetic questions to test him, which almost made Lin Liangjun faint.

"Fighting with the Governor, you will know the gap between ordinary generals and famous generals in the world."

The adjutant nodded. Among the front-line generals in Southeast now, Qi Jiguang is the one with the deepest command and combat ability and military literacy. However, Qi Jiguang was also amazed by Su Ze's military genius. He praised Governor Su as an eternal famous general who could rival Han Xin Baiqi.

"If you follow the Governor and do arithmetic problems, you will know the difference between humans and pigs!"

"These masters can talk and laugh with the governor about arithmetic problems. When they discuss it, let alone understand the content of the discussion, you can't even understand the questions!"

Seeing that the adjutant still didn't believe it, Lin Liangjun immediately said:

"Don't believe it? Then Lin Sanbao!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Adjutant Lin Sanbao immediately stood at attention and performed a military salute.

"I order you to sit in on the discussion of those arithmetic masters and write a summary report to me later!"

After saying this, Lin Liangjun fled in a hurry, leaving the adjutant messy in the wind.

Isn't it just to listen? After all, Lin Sanbao was also an outstanding graduate of the military academy, and he also got high marks in the arithmetic subjects of the military academy.

Lin Sanbao stepped into the room and immediately heard the heated discussion.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Lin Sanbao already wanted to vomit.

Damn, are you speaking Chinese?

Why can I understand every word but not what it means?

Why can he understand every number on the blackboard, but can't understand what it means when connected together?

professor! Why can this be proved? I didn’t understand the previous step!

What is this formula? Is it really an arithmetic formula and not a Taoist talisman?

Lin Sanbao already wanted to run away, but with the military order in hand, he could only bite the bullet and listen to the two-hour discussion.

By the time Lin Sanbao returned to Lin Liangjun, he was completely stupid.

"What did they discuss?"

Lin Sanbao shook his head and said, "Minister, I don't understand this at all."

"Hahahaha! It's okay if you don't understand. If you understand, I will send you to the Department of Mathematics of Tiangong Academy!"

Lin Sanbao immediately begged for mercy and said, "Minister, please spare my life!"

After Lin Liangjun finished teasing the adjutant, he finally remembered the business:

"Have they reached a conclusion?"

Lin Sanbao nodded and said: "The last arithmetic freshman named Xu Jin gave a plan that satisfied most of the teachers, but."

"but what?"

"But the masters believe that this calculation method needs to be verified on the battlefield."

"Then let Xu Jin go to Xuzhou!"

"But there is a problem with Xu Jin's identity. He is the eldest son of the Xu family in Huating, Songjiang Prefecture."

"The Xu family? You said it's the Xu family of the elder Xu Ge of the Ming Dynasty?"

The adjutant nodded quickly.

Lin Liangjun thought for a moment and said, "Then what is Xu Jin's attitude?"

"That Xu Jin is just as crazy as other math professors. Oh no, he pursues the truth just like them. He took the initiative to go to the front line to verify his algorithm."

Lin Liangjun immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? I will immediately send a recruitment order to the Xu family and recruit Xu Jin to the front line!"
