Guo Wendong said: "If the musketeers equipped with self-generated firearms can ensure uninterrupted shooting, it will definitely make it difficult for the Eight Banners cavalry to rush into our army's formation. ”

The four of them felt that this is the reason, but it takes time to reload the projectile after the fire gun is fired, how can it be possible to shoot non-stop?

Looking at the puzzled looks of the four people, Guo Wendong felt that they thought it was impossible to do it.

He continued: "The musketeers can be arranged in three rows, or four rows, to carry out three shots, four shots, when the first row shoots, quickly retreat to reload the projectile, the second row to go forward to shoot, and then retreat to reload the projectile, the third row to shoot, when the third row fires, has retreated to the first row behind has been loaded, and then re-step to shoot, and so on, it is a three-stage shot." If a three-stage shot is not enough, you can equip a four-stage shot with four rows of musketeers. ”

Wonderful! It's wonderful!

The four of them were amazed by this shooting.

Yan Yingyuan said: "If you can really do this, why not be afraid of the Eight Banners!" ”

Zhang Huang said: "If you do this, you will definitely be able to make the Eight Banners soldiers come and go." ”

Liu Jifang said: "Young master, this method is really wonderful!" ”

Chen Zilong said: "It is possible to defeat the Eight Banners!" ”

After a period of excitement, the four of them thought about the real problem again.

Yan Yingyuan said: "My lord, Xuan Zhu has just said that in order to build such an elite army, sufficient military salaries are needed, and the imperial court may not be able to have such financial resources. I heard that in the past, the salaries of the Liaodong Frontier Army often could not be paid on time. ”

This is indeed a big problem, Guo Wendong looked solemn, stood up from his seat, walked to the middle of the four, showed a resolute look, and said: "We have no way out, if we fail, we and our families will definitely die." I still have silver in my house, and I still make a profit every month, and I will make up for the lack of food, even if I go bankrupt, I must build elite soldiers, protect my family and defend the country, and expel Jiannu. ”

This half-truth and half-truth, this is what he thinks in his heart, and it has an acting element. If the household military salary is insufficient, this is exactly what he wants to see, so that the officers and men will know that they are paying them military salaries and giving them good equipment, and they will be more loyal to him.

This generous statement made the four of them enthusiastic, and it was their honor to have such a good boss.

The four of them followed and stood up, and Zhang Huangyan said first: "The ambition of the adults is full of admiration!" ”

immediately bowed to Guo Wendong.

The other three also expressed admiration.

"Zhang Xuan, you are a person and understand military affairs, I will recommend you to the imperial court and appoint you as the general manager of Congqipin."

Let Liu Jifang serve as the deputy general manager, which was also recommended by Guo Wendong and approved by the Ministry of War.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Huang said and thanked the army.

The door of the main hall opened, the sun was shining outside, Guo Wendong stood at the door, his heart was comfortable, he had been preparing for this for more than a year, accumulated a lot of manpower and financial resources, and had his favorite subordinates, and there was hope for the victory of the resistance against the Qing Dynasty.

He turned around again and said to the four of them, "The barracks are under construction, everyone come with me and see how it is built!" ”

With a few people, he walked north for more than ten minutes and came to the military camp under construction.

In order to build the barracks as soon as possible, Guo Wendong mobilized a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, and there were only several hundred construction workers, who rushed to work day and night in three shifts.

The person in charge of the construction of the barracks, named Yang Tinggang, is proficient in civil engineering, but he is a person sent by the Ministry of Industry, an official and staff member Wailang, Zheng Qipin, and the Ministry of Engineering asked him to obey Guo Wendong's arrangement.

Knowing that Guo Wendong was coming, Yang Tinggang came to him.

Yang Tinggang looked a little tired, and rushed to work every morning, not only to supervise the construction, but also to supervise the quality of the project, and only got off work very late.

Yang Tinggang said: "Master Guo, in five days, it will be completed." ”

Guo Wendong said: "Lord Yang, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Yang Tinggang said: "Lord Guo, it's okay for the lower officials to work hard, but they don't even stop working late at night, and people who live nearby often come over, and they are very dissatisfied with this." Rush to work late at night and disturb the people! The nearby people questioned the lower official, and the lower official was speechless. ”

He looked helpless.

If it is placed in the modern world, the construction site in the city center will definitely not be able to be carried out after 10 o'clock in the evening, and noise is prohibited to disturb the people.

Guo Wendong said: "If there are still people who come to protest, you directly relay the words of this official: building a military camp and training the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp are related to the safety of the Ming Dynasty and the safety of the people. ”

Yang Tinggang was very helpless, and the waiter of the Ministry of Works pointed out that he should obey Guo Wendong's arrangement, and the other party was still the son-in-law of Shoufu, so he couldn't afford to offend, so he had to obey the orders.

"How long do you have to disturb the people!"

A loud voice came from behind, and Guo Wendong turned around to see that it was a young man in his twenties.

The boy stepped forward, and the guards immediately blocked him.

He looked at Guo Wendong, saw that this was the leader, and said: "You don't stop working late every night, this is a serious disturbance to the people, if this is still the case, I will let my uncle impeach you." ”

Yang Tinggang said to Guo Wendong: "My lord, he is the nephew of the right hand of the Inspectorate, named Zhou Kai. ”

It turned out to be a relative of the official.

Guo Wendong asked in a low voice: "Is the Imperial History of the Right Servant the Donglin Party?" ”

Yang Tinggang nodded.

The Donglin Party, in the Nanming will soon play, Ruan Dacheng will take revenge on the Donglin Party, and all the members of the Donglin Party in the Nanming Imperial Court, except for Qian Qianyi, will be dismissed.

Zhou Kai showed a look of pride and said: "It's good that you know, if you don't change it, I will let my uncle impeach you and dismiss your officials." ”

Guo Wendong said: "This official is Guo Wendong, who was ordered by the imperial court to set up the Shenji Battalion, and the time was urgent, so he had to do so." If you have an opinion, just let your uncle impeach. ”

Knowing that he was the son-in-law of the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Kai suddenly lost his confidence, but he couldn't lose his momentum, and said: "So what, no one can disturb the people, if this is still the case tonight, the uncle will impeach you." ”

Guo Wendong leaned in slightly and sneered in a low voice: "Tell your uncle, be careful of the black gauze hat on his head." ”

"You ......"

Zhou Kai was a little scared, didn't dare to speak anymore, and left stupidly.

Guo Wendong looked at his watch, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Said to the four people: "Don't let what you just do ruin the fun, come and come, come and go back to the house for dinner together." ”

————————

The gate of Guofu.

A man of about twenty years old arrived.

"This is Guo's Mansion, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

The courtyard guarding the gate immediately stopped.

The man stopped and said, "I am Zheng Sen, the general soldier of Fujian and the son of Annanbo, and I want to see the guerrilla general Guo. ”

The nurse said: "Lord Guo is not in the house. ”

Zheng Sen asked, "I wonder when Lord Guo will come back?" ”

The nurse said: "Master Guo goes out, when will he come back, how can he tell me a little guard!" ”

Zheng Sen said: "Then I'll wait for him to come back." ”

He then walked over to the side of the gate and stood.

"Whatever you want!"

The nursing home no longer listened.
