Lijiazhuang. War Department. The new situation quickly came to Shangwu's side.

"According to your orders. Last night, we didn't do anything, just let them pass without a hitch, but this guy seemed to be in a hurry, according to the report of our scouts. They seem to be even faster than they were yesterday. I'm afraid I've walked thirty miles now, and there is no sign of rest. Jia Xu marked Shangwu on the map.

"This Jian Shuo, can't he really rescue Handan, right?" Shang Wu said as he looked at the map.

"I don't know if this Jian Shuo is a layman or a good player, he really can't understand his tricks, logically speaking, he should understand the situation. This Handan City is obviously the bait for us to fish, and as soon as the big fish of the Xiyuan New Army came out, it quickly pounced on it. There's something obviously wrong with that. Jia Xu looked at the map and said.

"You say, isn't it, that they are not afraid of our surrounding, or that they are right. What won't we do to them? Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"No, unlikely." Jia Xu shook his head and said.

"I think there is only one possibility, and that is that Jian Shuo is disobeying military orders. Jian Shuo is a person next to the emperor, and a person like him, in order to please the emperor, will inevitably be in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, so that when he is in a hurry, the more he can explain why he did this. Jia Xu gave Shangwu an analysis. Sangwu touched his chin and pondered the possibility of such a question.

"How sure do you think the other side will do this?" Shang Wu asked Jia Xu.

"I think that's a very big possibility at the moment." Jia Xu thought about it and said affirmatively.

"Eunuchs are a special group, according to the psychology you said before, they are inferior, but it is such an inferiority group, they will control their own destiny, in such a situation, they will inevitably seek a kind of self-realization." Jia Xu said. After Shang Wu listened, he felt that he was dealing with a modern psychologist, because Shang Wu had never studied these contents at all, he just took some information and discussed these things with Jia Xu according to the script, because he found that Jia Xu was good at these things, but after he mastered it, he could quickly answer with himself, which was something Shang Wu had never thought of.

"Okay, but it's just a psychological judgment, and we need some more evidence to prove it." Shang Wu would not base everything on psychoanalysis, in that case, it would be too boring. This is a feeling of Shangwu himself. So, in order to avoid such a situation, he needs to do other things, for example, he needs some intelligence evidence to prove that Jia Xu's point of view is correct.

"How do you prove it?" Jia Xu asked.

"It's very simple, capture the captives, as long as you catch their captives, you can know what they want to do, if it is really Jian Shuo who is advancing privately, Huangfu Song will definitely give three orders, I think I should know my opponent, he should be very annoyed. Then he kept sending people to send some letters and orders to come out. Then we intercepted the letters halfway through. Shang Wu said.

"It's a good idea, and I agree with it. But we have to do it as soon as possible, perhaps, Huang Fu Song will not send some letters, he will revise their plans. Jia Xu said.

Report. Sir. A staff officer was embarrassed to interrupt.

"Alright. I'll arrange this. Jia Xu said. And then he left.

"What's the matter?" Shangwu asked.

"Report to the chief, Chief Kuroko is outside, he said he has an urgent matter for you." The staff officer said.

"Look for me. Hehe, he's in a hurry. I'll check it out. Shang Wu said to the staff officer. Then he went out. Kuroko has been teaching the team to train veterans and train recruits. In this way, his temperament may be restrained. At the same time, through the training of recruits, they know the importance of obeying orders. This is one of Sangmu's ideas. In fact, Kuroko is not a very qualified officer, because he is sometimes impulsive, and this impulsiveness can have serious consequences for his subordinates, and they are impulsive. The point is that his mind is not bright enough. It is unlikely that such a person will rise to the rank of a senior general, because once he rises to a senior general, the thinking questions will become different, and the sunspot lacks too much in this regard, in the final analysis, the sunspot can only work to the level of the regiment commander, and if it is too high, there will be problems.

"Sir, me." When Kuroko saw Shangwu come out, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say. After all, he's a stupid man.

"Want to go to war?" Shangwu asked.

"Yes, sir, don't let me train those recruits. I'm dying of annoyance. Sir, if you give me a regiment, even if you give me a battalion, I can take it with me. Kuroko patted his chest and said.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go." Shang Wu said.

"Yes, sir." Kuroko followed Shang Wu, and Shang Wu brought the sunspot behind him to a row.

"Kuroko, to be honest, how many brothers did you remember when you came out with me?" Shangwu asked.

"This." Kuroko looked at Shangwu and said puzzled.

"I don't know, I don't know." Kuroko replied.

"Well, let me tell you, actually, there aren't many of them anymore. It's just a few of you. Many people have become battalion and company officers, but unfortunately, in that position, they have too many responsibilities and sacrifices. When I went to Valhalla the other day, I didn't know a few of them by name. However, see some of their stories. resume, I realized that they were the first people to follow us. Shang Wu said. Kuroko looked at his chief in confusion.

"Sir. What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, sir, we would have starved to death or been beaten to death by the officers and soldiers. I can't do something so big. Kuroko said.

"So, you have to live, I don't want your name to be in Valhalla." Shang Wu said solemnly.

"Sir. You are mistaken. We're not afraid of death, really. My old black life is all yours, sir. Sir, let me go to war. I'm not afraid. Kuroko said excitedly.

"Nope." Shang Wu said solemnly.

"Why, sir?" When Lao Hei heard such an answer, he almost jumped up. He knew that what Shang Wu said at the beginning was for his good, but he was not that kind of person.

"No, you're not too small. After starting a family and having a son, I will let you go to war. Also, don't underestimate the training of recruits, tell you that Lao Tzu still has big things to do on that. Don't delay big things for Lao Tzu. Shang Wu said.

"Sir, this. This kind of thing. Lao Hei was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He was originally a stupid person, and at this time, he was even more stupid.

"Well, I'll tell you a little secret." Shang Wu said.

"You are not allowed to tell anyone, even if the military advisor asks you, you can't say it. You know? Shang Wu said.

"Yes. Sir. I don't tell anyone. If I did. I just. I just. "I don't know what to say.

"I'll be killed." Lao Hei said.

"you. Say something unlucky. Shang Wu said.

"What do you think, our musketeers?" Shangwu asked Kuroko.

"Okay. Sir, the power is huge, and I think it's the champion's cavalry rushing over, and we can all win each other. Really sir. Kuroko said excitedly.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with our musketeers?" Shangwu asked.

"This. No problem. Sir, it's good, I think, this musket is a powerful weapon, if you give me a regiment, I will definitely give you a frontal defeat of that old boy from Huangfu Song. Kuroko said excitedly.

"Alright. Come on. I'll tell you directly, your head just doesn't open up. Lao Tzu asked you to train soldiers in fact, in the future, to take the lead. Shang Wu said.

"Our musketeers are good, but the problem is that the firepower of this musket, the rate of fire is still very defective, for example, when we march forward, we can't let the arquebus go out, which requires you to pay attention to this at all times, in an environment like the battlefield, do you think the soldiers can do this?" Shangwu asked.

"No, not really." Lao Hei said.

"Yes, since they can't do this, the weapons need to be upgraded, they need to be modified, and in the future, we will be equipped with a new type of musket, a flintlock pistol, with this rifle. We have to change our tactics, I need to keep the soldiers disciplined, even if a large number of bullets fly in, kill a lot of people, they can also carry a flintlock pistol with a bayonet on it, and move forward, only within thirty paces of the enemy, shoot, after three shots, solve all the battles with bayonets, can you do this tactic for me? Shang Wu told Kuroko about the gun platoon tactics in advance, maybe this gun platoon tactics is not very clever, but it is very effective. Because flintlock pistols are a trend of development, it can be foreseen in the future that Shangwu will export a large number of arquebuses to the official army, because he needs a large amount of foreign exchange, and he needs a lot of trade to increase the amount of his own trade, which is determined by the economy. And when the officers and soldiers of the same era were equipped with muskets, there would be a huge pressure, and this pressure was the sharpness of firearms, and if the officers and soldiers used the weapons they sold them to beat themselves, it would be a great pleasure.

So, in order to gain an overwhelming advantage, Shangwu must also upgrade his arsenal, and after the arquebus, the flintlock pistol. Shang Wu let Lao Hei train in advance, and it was to deal with such a situation.

"Sir, listen, listen to this tactic, it feels like sending you to death." Lao Hei said reluctantly. In fact, he didn't have any good ways to train recruits, and he had some disgust.

But now after hearing Shang Wu talk about such a new weapon and tactics, he suddenly felt that he should do something.

"What to send to death, this tactic is very powerful. Well, this kind of thing, that's it. Don't think about anything else in the future. Shang Wu said.

"Think about this tactic of your own, if you think it through. Or be able to show enough combat power to come. I'll let you go to war. Do you understand? Shang Wu said.

"Yes. Sir. Kuroko said. Sangmu then left the place, he still had a lot of things to deal with. Kuroko, although he is stupid, but a stupid person should have the energy to study, if he can use such energy correctly, Shangwu believes that he can still do something big. Shangwu believes this.

Kuroko touched his head, he felt that this thing was very unreliable, or rather, he felt that it was unlikely that he would be able to do this. Because he thinks his head is stupid.

And Shang Wu doesn't care about this, what he wants is this kind of energy, if Kuroko really gives full play to the gun tactics, then Shang Wu Ke has a lot of things left. But things are far from that simple, and Shangwu needs experimental muskets. Flintlock pistols, which were not originally intended for infantry, but were intended for use by scouts and special combat infantry, such as snipers. Snipers will play a greater role in guerrilla warfare, and if a sniper fights with an arquebus, it will be too threatening. However, Shangwu doesn't need much, even if the flintlock pistol can only produce a few. The problem can still be solved.

Inside the Arsenal.

"How? What about flintlock development? "Shang Wu came to the arsenal. This is the place that Sangmu cares about the most.

"Sir, look at this." As he spoke, Zhang Qing took over a small component of a flintlock pistol, in fact, this is an important part of the flintlock firing device.

"Smack. Syllable. Smack, smack. Zhang Qing pulled it three times in a row before lighting the fire. If he had been on the battlefield, the soldier would have missed his chance.

"Not yet." Shang Wu shook his head and said.

"No, sir, we can produce some, and we can fire them several times in a row." Zhang Qing said.

"You kid, when did you learn to be so cunning. If you can make a fire, why let me watch this. Shang Wu said dissatisfiedly.

"Nope. No, sir, I mean, that level. It can only be a few individuals, and I only have two masters here who can do this, and the output is only a few a day, so the flintlock pistol is not good. Zhang Qing explained.

"Let them teach. If the apprentices taught can make one, even if they are half. The land of the Church, or that can be improved, counts as a patent. Tell them that the scale of production will be expanded in the future, and let them solve this problem as soon as possible. Shang Wu said.
