However, while comforting them, Lin Xiao did not forget Qu Shiyun's advice.

They are all leading troops, he does not intend to beat around the bush, and appoints Xia Bomin as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy on the spot, Wang and Chen temporarily accept the control of Commander Xia, and their troops still need to undergo training after the war.

Simple and brutal, straight to the point!

Whether they want to or not, Lin Xiao felt that he had to say ugly things in front, his troops did need to be expanded, but it was not a simple recruitment, let alone a partnership.

If you want to become a member of the captive army, from ideology to discipline, strict new training is essential, otherwise he would rather lack than abuse, no matter how many people there are, what is the use.

"The boss capsized the boat, in front of the generals, Lin Mouming didn't say secret words, my captive army, the commander can only have one ......"

Lin Xiao's face was kind, but his words were murderous,

"Gu Yun's 'mercy is not in charge of the army, righteousness is not financial management', Lin's military orders are like a mountain, if there are those who disobey the military orders, or those who are captivated by the army, Lin will never be merciful, dare to ask the two generals, can you do it?"

"The Metropolitan Governor...... Hou Ye rest assured! The last general should obey the orders of the Hou Ye, and if he violates it, he will be willing to obey the law! ”

"The ministry will abide by the orders of the Hou Ye and never slack off!"

Wang and Chen were refreshed, and they agreed without hesitation......

Okay, the stick is over, and Lin Xiao's sweet dates are on the field.

Among these two people, Lin Xiao is even rarer than Chen Qice, after all, what he lacks most at the moment is a sailor, not only a lack of boats, but also a shortage of sailors.

"General Chen, on the Xijiang River, there must be a lot of Tartar warships, how about adding some firepower to your warships this time?"

"Master Hou...... Is it not trustworthy to the Ministry of Employment? ”

Chen Qice was stunned when he heard this, and said urgently, "The Tartar land cavalry is indeed good at fighting, but the sailor may not be able to defeat Chen. ”

"Eh, the general misunderstood, I heard from Commander Xia that the Tartars have built a fort on the riverside outside Zhaoqing City, and I am afraid that your naval guns will not be strong enough, and the unnecessary casualties will be too large."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, sailors are precious, he doesn't want them to fight with the Qing army as soon as they join the gang and give their lives in vain.

Chen Qice was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Xiao is telling the truth, although he has a lot of ships, there are only a dozen big ships that are really threatening, and the naval guns on the ships, whether in terms of range or power, are indeed inferior to the red-coated cannons set up on the fixed batteries on the river bank.

However, those who have just joined the gang have to accept a vote, if they don't fire their heads, how can they hold their heads up in front of friendly forces in the future?

Thinking of this, Chen Qice's face turned red, gritted his teeth and said: "Hou Ye, rest assured, the ministry will not disgrace its mission!" The water division is not a vegetarian either...... Even if it is attacked, it will definitely intercept the back road of the Tartars! ”

After Chen Qice finished speaking, Lin Xiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "General Chen is a little safe, let's look at Lin's cannon?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Qice to react, Lin Xiao turned his head and said lightly to Duan Zhenghong, who was standing behind him, "Gather your machine gun company and let Chen Dudu see what you rely on to abuse those Tartars." ”

"Yes!"

Duan Zhenghong replied loudly, and after a standard military salute, he turned around and hurried out of the conference hall.

With the identities of Zhang Chenfeng and Duan Zhenghong, they were originally qualified to sit together, but they were not ready to show off their views and deal with the ancients, and they felt that there was only one word - annoying!

Since Duan Zhenghong regarded himself as Lin Xiao's big guard, he would follow Lin Xiao closely as long as he had the opportunity, while Zhang Chenfeng commanded the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion to camp outside, and simply did not enter the conference hall.

Not long after, after a rush of passwords, neat footsteps, and a low number of announcements, Duan Zhenghong's third company of machine guns lined up on the playground in front of the conference hall.

"General Chen, let's go, go see my cannon?"

……

Wang Xing and Chen Qice had already known that Lin Xiao's military exploits were impressive, but when they really saw such a strict array, they were still secretly frightened.

There were not many more than 100 heavily armed soldiers, but the neat queue and the standing posture of holding their heads high and not moving at all needless were needless to say, Wang and Chen asked themselves, their own subordinates, no matter what, could not stand up like that.

What really frightened them was their weapons, especially the black holes of the more than a dozen machine guns in front of the queue.

Lin Xiao looked at Duan Zhenghong and waved his hand, Duan Zhenghong understood and ordered loudly: "All of them, stand up!" ”

"Brush!"

"The first and second mortar groups, out of line!"

"Yes!"

"Cannon!"

"Target, sea area ahead, two kilometers to the right of the 'Qinzhou', single-shot test launch!"

"Yes!"

……

"Boom!" "Boom!"

With the muffled sound of two mortars, two black shells arced and flew quickly to the surface of the sea miles away......

"Boom!" "Boom! ”

With two loud bangs, two columns of water burst out on the sea!

"Blossom bombs?"

Screams came out of the mouths of Wang Xing and Chen Qice.

This time, I was really surprised!

Because they could see clearly, the strange shape of the two flowering shells, which did not look very large, was also unprecedented.

More critically, what kind of cannon is this? I didn't see an ignition, and the shell flew out?

Can it be so easy to fight?

Lin Xiao stood quietly with his hands down, and after the artillery crew soldiers quickly returned to the lineup, he turned his head to Chen Qice and said lightly: "General Chen, if you can do it easily, there is no need to ask the brothers to work hard, right?" ”

Human life is precious, and it can be abused, so why bother with it!

"Master Hou...... That's right! I didn't expect that there would be such an artifact under the command of Master Hou......"

Only then did Chen Qice come back to his senses from the stunned face.

"Brothers, all of them!"

"Brush!"

"Take a break!"

"Smack!"

"Tomorrow, you will get on Chen Dudu's warship, go out with them, go north along the Xijiang River, go to make dumplings in Zhaoqing City, and don't let a Tartar run away from the waterway, do you have confidence?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”

The roar of more than 100 people resounded over the playground and echoed for a long time!

……

After the lively departure ceremony, the sky was already dark, and Lin Xiao's stomach was also hungry, and the next thing was naturally to eat.

Unexpectedly, at the dinner table, Lin Xiao unexpectedly got another surprise!

In order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, Chen Qice naturally prepared quite sumptuous dishes.

Those ordinary chickens, ducks and fish, Lin Xiao was not surprised, unexpectedly, there were potatoes and sweet potatoes in the dishes served.

Lin Xiao's heart moved, and he immediately asked for details, and sure enough, he got good news.

It turned out that at this time, the naval division of the Qing army was still very weak, and there was not enough attack power on the island, Chen Qice, who had lived on the island for a long time, and Du Yonghe, who had retreated to Qiongzhou, could still communicate very freely, and the material transportation between the two sides was extremely frequent, and they often communicated with each other by sea.

Due to the fact that there were many mountains and few fields on Shangxiachuan Island and there was a shortage of food, Du Yonghe often sent some military rations to Chen Qice, including a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes (called sweet potatoes at that time).

Since the transplantation in Fujian, many places in Qiongzhou have begun to promote planting in a large area, especially sweet potatoes, which are edible both raw and cooked, have high yields, and are widely planted and barren, and have even become the staple food of local people in some places.

At the recommendation of Du Yonghe, Chen Qice decided to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes on the island, and as soon as spring began, the first batch of seeds had been planted, and the rest was stored in the warehouse as grain storage.

(Guangning Bo Wang Xing, although brave but careful, what is the nickname?) ）

Thank you for the reward from the alliance leader "Descendant Fang Ze"!
