"Although this is only twenty steps, how long will it take to make such a powerful crossbow to create a pair, and you see this gun, although there are more steps to operate than a bow and crossbow, but it is much simpler in terms of skills.

From a farmer who can only farm to a qualified archer, not to mention, you have to ask for a year or two, right? If it's an elite archer, you won't be able to get out in three years, but this musket, you just tried it, you can become an army in a month! ”

Ma Qiang said the biggest advantage of the musketeers, that is, the speed of forming an army. A musketeer who has spent a month training can easily defeat a samurai who has been training for more than five years.

"Brother Xiaoma, why don't you use such a good weapon when you are courting Dong?" Guo Jin asked strangely.

"It's very simple, the husband is not guilty, but Huaibi is guilty! Not to mention that this musket is still being improved, let's just say that as soon as this musketeer comes out, it will inevitably shake the world, if I used it when I was asking Dong, it would not have been Kong Ling who attacked Sun Jian and Liu Dai who killed Qiao Mao that night, but the princes of the Fourteenth Route jointly attacked me! ”

Ma Qiang held the steel gun, smiled and said, "I will give you six hundred sergeants, these six hundred people are all the old men of our Red Star Battalion, and they are our most loyal brothers, you give me these six hundred people to train as musketeers, and then you will go to Youzhou to defend the Red Star Battalion."

Now that Gongsun Chan has arrived in Changping, although he may not invade the Red Star Battalion in a short time, as long as the time is long, he will definitely come to commit it, and when the time comes, you will take the musketeers to teach him a good lesson!

By the way, your battalion, I have already named you, it will be called the Shenji Battalion! ”

"Divine Machine Battalion?" Guo Jin muttered and repeated, nodded and smiled, "Good name!" ”

"Divine Machine Battalion? Brother Pony, are you complimenting me on my ingenuity? Yue Yangtian on the side asked shamelessly.

"I think you're trying to do it! It's also a clever machine, wait until you make me a machine gun that can be loaded with a hundred rounds at a time, and then talk about this clever machine! ”

"A hundred rounds? Still going to shoot in a row? Yue Yang stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

"A month, 300 guns for Guo Jin, Guo Jin, when you go to work in pairs, take turns to learn to shoot, willing to wait for guns, don't ask for guns and wait for people!"

Guo Jin nodded and said, "Brother Ma, don't worry, I understand!" ”

Ma Qiang also said in detail some of the main points of the formation of the musketeers, of course, he said some things that he hearsay, and I don't know if it was right or wrong, but even so, in this era of the second century AD, it can be regarded as scorpion - the only one!

"By the way, how's the artillery?" Ma Qiang looked at Yue Yang.

"Slipped!!" Yue Yang ran out without looking back, and Ma Qiang and Guo Jin, who were watching, couldn't help laughing.

——

"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper!! Look at Dong Mi's affairs, and know the world's major events!! ”

"I've read the newspaper! I've read the newspaper!! Come and read the newspaper! The first-hand information brought by the reporter with the army, I want to know why Dong Thief moved west to see the newspaper!! ”

"Scorched Thorn Shi has been defeated in a row and retreated to Licheng! Prime Minister Ma ordered Zhao Zilong to lead the cavalry to the rescue!! ”

In today's plain city, the shouts of countless children suddenly sounded, and passers-by found that today's streets were particularly lively, and the children in uniform carried schoolbags full of newspapers, waved a newspaper in their hands, and sold them along the road.

"How much? Give me a copy! ”

"I want it too! Give me a copy!! ”

The Plain Monthly has been spread all over the Plains for a long time, and many people know that the students of the Plains Academy are tinkering with this thing.

In the tavern, there was no one talking or laughing, and they were all listening to the invited gentleman reading the "Plains Monthly"

"That night, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling was dissatisfied with Sun Jian's seizure of Yuzhou City, and joined Zhang Yang to attack his village..."

The gentleman above was reading the newspaper, and the people below were whispering, including the students of Yuan Taixue and Hongdu College who were brought to the plain by Ma Qiang this time.

"No wonder Kong Thorn Shi wants to attack Wuchenghou at night, it turns out that this is the case."

"If it weren't for this newspaper, everyone wouldn't have understood the secrets!"

"These princes said that they were going to save Your Majesty, but I heard that it was basically our prime minister who was fighting! They're all watching the excitement in the back! ”

"Hey! It's a pity that the princes of Luoyang fought chaotically that night, otherwise they might have rescued His Majesty! ”

There was a lot of discussion in the tavern, and the three people sitting in the corner all had newspapers in their hands, and one of them put the newspaper down and said with a smile, "With this thing, Ma Pingyuan can be regarded as mastering half of the world's tongue!" ”

One person on the other side shook his head and said, "The tongue of the world is among the scholars, Ma Pingyuan despises the scholars too much, and it will be difficult for a long time..."

The third person's mind seems to be on the wine, and he keeps reminiscing with his eyes closed.

All three were young, the oldest being less than thirty, and the youngest hadn't even grown a beard.

"Wen Ruo, you went to Yingchuan to persuade us to come out and walk with you, this way is the most stable and novel in this plain, I am very interested in the horse plain!" The first person to speak asked with a smile.

"Zhicai, Fengxiao, I saw that Yingchuan was about to become a place of war, so I persuaded you to leave, why don't you know my kindness?"

These three people are Xun Yu, Xi Zhong and Guo Jia, Xun Yu abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown after Dong Zhuo ordered him to move west, and after arriving in Yingchuan, he found Xi Zhong and Guo Jia and invited them to leave Yingchuan together to find the Ming Lord.

At this time, Xun Yu was only twenty-eight years old, and Guo Jia was not yet twenty.

The three of them are all teenagers, and they are all heroes!

"Wen Ruo thinks that Ma Pingyuan despises the scholar clan too much and is difficult to last, could it be that he values Yuan Benchu, who is the third prince of the fourth world?" Guo Jia took another sip of wine and asked with a drunken expression.

Xun Yu nodded and said, "My brother Xun Chen is serving as a minister in Yuan Bohai, the fourth and third dukes of the Yuan family, his protégés are all over the world, and he is the leader of the alliance, so he is naturally the best candidate to help the world!" ”

"But it's fun here~" Guo Jia looked at the gentleman standing on the stage reading the newspaper and said, "Yuan Shaona, is it interesting here?" It's just that this woman is a little less, but it's a pity~"

Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xi Zhong and Xun Yu both looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

This Guo Jia is talented, but he loves to play games in the world, and he drinks constantly every day, and he is not afraid of losing his life.

"Fun is second, Qingzhou is probably going to be obtained by Ma Pingyuan, if Ma Pingyuan gets Qingzhou, and then captures the Bohai Sea, it can be connected to Youzhou, and its momentum will not be small!" Xi Zhong smiled and said, "In the future, this Hebei will probably be a contest between the Yuan family and the Ma family." ”

"I heard that these two have fought before, but Ma Qiang has won!" Guo Jia looked at Xun Yu and said that he was more optimistic about Ma Qiang.

Xi Zhong was stuck between the two, but he was a little in a dilemma.
