Chapter 8 of the Flying Dragon Chapter 8 Nanyang Song Turns East (9)
Looking at the more than two hundred young people in front of him, standing crookedly in the center of the newly built camp, there was no shade in the field, which made the anxious eyes of these teenagers more and more visible.
Half of the juveniles came from the exterminated Haoqiang and tribes, most of them were orphans, and some were slaves, and Zhu Dazhao selected nearly 100 of them, all of whom were in good health, around the age of fourteen or fifteen, and many of them could not even understand Chinese.
These people stood among the two hundred people, but they were more energetic than the rest.
The other half were sent by the families who had promised to apply, saying that they were children of the family, but in fact, most of them were paid to ask for money from other places, or they were simply domestic slaves, but there was a benefit, most of them had Han blood within several generations, and it was not a problem to understand some Chinese.
Of the three issues of rejuvenating the country, enriching the country and strengthening the army, and civilizing and civilizing, it is precisely the middle one that is the most difficult to do.
When it comes to the development of the industry, whether it is the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city, or the gentry and chieftains outside the city, it does not take much trouble to let them hand over their land to participate in the New Rural Cooperative Medical System, or to pay money and goods to invest in HSBC.
After all, business and trade are the strengths of the Song people, and now they have to clean up people's hearts, and people naturally believe that it is indeed the Song people who want to get together with themselves to put forward such a charter, otherwise they will make money by themselves.
As for what new agricultural cooperative system, the Song people want to farm the land, which is naturally unforeseen in the past, but here in Brunei, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is in the South Seas under the wind, the land is fertile, the sunshine is good, and there is no risk of wind disasters, and the grain for two or three seasons a year is not a problem, and the field has never been a valuable thing.
And this civilization and enlightenment, the Song people only mentioned one article, so that the children of each family who are not yet adults should go to the Song people's academy to study, and they don't know what they have learned, but it is not a bad thing to read and break words, and this book also has the meaning of proton, and it will not cost their lives, only to say that food and accommodation are provided by the Song people, and the cost is borne by each family. Speaking of which, the conditions are acceptable, and there are examples of other families in the box at the door, and no one will faint out to oppose it.
However, there is only the article of enriching the country and strengthening the army, saying that it is to pacify the bandits and reds in the country, and to recruit troops from all over the country and be uniformly trained by the court of the Song people.
This one did not ask each family to pay for food, compared with the previous conscription in the country is much better, Nanyang countries, conscription military service has always been to prepare their own armor, so this time the Song people did not act according to the rules, surprised but also all families feel lucky.
But since it is to be used to see the battle, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and the chiefs are now winning successive battles, not only have they not been defeated, but they have never even been injured. But things are inevitable, if you can drive the generals, why bother to go into battle in person, this kind of thing is also clear when you think about it.
But since the chiefs only set the requirements for age and size, there is no need to use their own children to work hard, as long as they are willing to spend money, they can't find anyone who works hard, and after scraping together, they will also put together the number of more than 100 people.
But after all, there are good people recruited from other places, especially the Han people, although the family collects money, but I may not be willing, or it is not for nothing that the children who followed the uncles and uncles in the clan to Nanyang to work hard were sold by their own parents.
When they brought people in, they were mostly tied with ropes, and they were beaten along the way. Compared with Han'er, the local natives don't care about this, ordinary hired laborers, and the natives are lazy and unwilling to do it, but they are all enthusiastic about fighting, and they probably still want to be able to plunder.
The meeting was held last week, and on the third day, before the sun set, the Jiading people of each family escorted the teenagers from all over the ethnic group to the newly built camp.
Another three days of getting along with each other was not enough for the teenagers to be reborn.
At the strong request of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, all the newcomers were organized to shave their hair and sterilize, and they were standing on the scene and waiting for the exercise with their bald heads and pocket-like 'training uniforms'.
There was a circle of big men in black vests around, all of them fierce and vicious, and it really didn't look like there was anything good.
Thinking of the so-called 'disinfection' before, all the private places have been seen once, does this chief want to be a rabbit himself? Looking at the size of those big men, I can't help but shiver.
"Mao Eighteen, Zhang Zongke, Zhu Daizhen, Migada, Chen Qiansheng, Ma Donggu, Lin Qixiang, Liao Si, Cai Zeying, ............"
Finally remembered the routine roll call, after getting used to the chief's accent for two days, the teenagers were finally able to follow their names to answer, in fact, it was also a formality, the boys on the local side, the roll call was not good, including the two teenagers in the central part of Gota that day, but no matter how good or bad the order, the morning's homework was calculated.
Compared with the boring exercises, the greatest pleasure in the camp is that there is a gentleman teaching reading and literacy every afternoon, since it is to train qualified military personnel, it is really useless to just be able to dance with knives and guns.
What's more, as for this reading, Mr. is also interesting, not at all like the rumored Mr. Sour on the mainland, everything can be proven, and those big men who are privately called as the head of the sect are even more powerful, and they dare not say that they want to let go of the group of teenagers in front of them, five are only used as practitioners, and ten are just right. Young people worship the strong and fear authority, and the leaders are both strong and authoritative, and there is no reason not to listen.
Listening to the whistle urging them to eat, the teenagers were all enthusiastic, and the original listless appearance was no longer there, and they all rushed towards the cafeteria.
At the beginning, a few children of the Tu tribe couldn't get used to eating the meat and vegetables made by the Song people, and refused to move, and after being hungry for a day, they honestly devoured it, and no longer cared about any filth or filth.
Two hundred mermaids rushed in, a large bucket of rice and a large pot of meat and vegetables, a pile of four dishes and one soup were divided into three places and placed in the right room of the canteen hall, and before the whistle was urging again, everyone rushed forward, with the experience of the previous two days, no one would choose the latter between eating and starving, even the most lazy natives.
In the crowd of people, two figures supported each other and walked out, but they both fell into the eyes of Yang Chengwu, who was watching from the side.
"Xiao Yi, you haven't eaten it again."
"I have inconvenient legs and feet, Dalang, you didn't have to worry about me."
The boy named Xiao Yi was squeezed and injured his leg during dinner two days ago, and Wu Da, a fellow villager, took the initiative to take care of the meal on these two days.
"I just grabbed another loaf today, so I'll give it to you."
Wu Da was quite happy, handed the bread to Ren Xiaoyi, originally in order to educate the cadets of the 'military academy' to eat hygienically, in the canteen was provided with dishes and chopsticks, but the locals are used to using banana leaves to take the food, but they did not prepare in advance, so many people on the first day were directly grabbed by hand. The rice is not easy to grab with your hands, and the instructor even made the whip to smoke, and after a few more draws, everyone also learned to be obedient, not to learn to eat with chopsticks, but to find that there is a bread that can be held and eaten, and it just so happened that Wuda grabbed one more today, and it was just right to give it to the injured Ren Xiaoyi.
"Dalang, you haven't eaten much, besides, the head of the sect will be punished if he sees it."
"It's okay, you hurt your foot, how can you do without eating."
It's just that this time, Yang Chengwu didn't pierce this layer, but just watched silently. In fact, it's only three days to come here, and it's only three days to eat three meals a day, but I'm used to eating more, and then it's difficult to change it back, not to mention the most sumptuous lunch of the day.
Seeing that the backs of the two teenagers had already gone towards the classroom, Yang Chengwu asked the person next to him.
"This kid is quite righteous, who is it?"
Deng Bin on the side said: "Both of them were brought back by Li Xiao, and I heard that the home is in Chinatown at the mouth of the Broken Hand River." β
Li Xiao is the captain of the eastward advance team, and it was this team that sent back the information of the Spanish sailing ship before, but they did not return to help, and five or six people were not considered any 'reinforcements', but continued to go east according to the order of the headquarters, bypassing Bunge Island and going south to the mouth of the Broken Hand River. There is a Chinese town, called the Tang Bank of China in the local language, and the river is rich in sand gold, because it is surrounded by Ming people who came from Chaoshan and Fujian to dig for gold, and a river mouth bay in the northeast is the planned Xianna Port, which is the future eastern gateway of Borneo.
"But this is not good, there is no hard work, it is not enough to just engage in unity and friendship among your own people, you will have to let it out and bite people in the future." Yang Chengwu stayed in the reservoir area, failed to catch up with the direct confrontation with the enemy in the defense of Labuan, and failed to practice in the next few 'sweeps', and he was holding a fire in his heart.
Deng Bin didn't answer, "The two of them have learned well in cultural classes, I heard that there are more than 200 people who know how to read and write at Wuhan University, and this batch is considered to be the top-notch, it's only been a few days, there will be gains and losses." β
"I heard that the boss decided to put this group of people into battle in only two months? I've seen enough. "Deng Bin is the training envoy of the Brunei delegation, Yang Chengwu is only the deputy envoy, and Yang Chengwu may not be able to go to the meeting that Deng Bin is capable of attending, so he has to ask Deng Bin for a lot of news.
"How can there be so many mysteries, and it's not to practice bows, arrows, knives and guns, and musketeers can make a little success in a month, you still think too much."
Ordinary training of a shooter who can shoot a hard bow, not two or three years can not be successful, pikemen is easier, but it is not to want to practice can be practiced, only the musket is the simplest, as long as you practice the pace of the queue every day, it is to practice with a wooden stick for a month or two, and it is enough to deal with ordinary bandits and pirates.
"Isn't that up to Fat Su."
Yang Cheng's five mouths of the sentence of the military weapons supervisor Su Yaosu fat, fully responsible for the design of the new rifle, said to be the design, in fact, is the process restoration, the Privy Council selected the stereotyped is the Migne rifle, originally by the inventor of the MingΓ© bullet, the French Orleans Chasseur Captain Claude Edirne Migne and Captain Henri Gustave de Vicine around 1849 developed a front-loading rapid-fire gun.
At that time, in order to deal with the opponents of Algeria, the French army created a new and powerful rifle cartridge, the so-called Minne. In order to cooperate with this bullet, Migne and others developed a new rifled gun after repeated designs, that is, this Migne rifle.
During the American Civil War, this gun was widely equipped because of its long range and strong power, and later the Springfield rifle of the American Army and the Enfield rifle of the British Army were all designed based on it.
It's just that the firearm is restored, and the drawings and process information are available, but after all, it is better to do it, and the guns that require large-scale production cannot be used for 3D printing at will, after all, the resources are limited, and the machine can't bear it. The work that has been done since the landing does not seem to have made much progress.
It's just that Deng Bin immediately answered Yang Chengwu's question, "It's progressing well, the first batch of samples was made the day before yesterday." β
