"Hehe, is the little girl quite knowledgeable?"

After listening to Zhao Shan's words, Xu Shiyang glanced at Zhao Lingao.

Of course, Zhao Lin's image in Xu Shiyang's eyes has always been good, after all, this is a girl who dares to stab the tartar in the back, which is quite heroic.

"Okay, lady, you didn't care about these things before, let's say, what does Zhao Lin want you to do?"

Unlike Zhao Lin, the introverted Zhao Shan's biggest wish in life is to marry a good man, have a few children, marry and teach children, and spend her life in peace.

is really a typical traditional feudal woman, and people can't help but have the idea of bullying her.

Now Zhao Shan has become Xu Shiyang's concubine, her husband is his wife, Xu Shiyang put her in charge of the women's work of 153, although she doesn't like to show her head, but she should also accept it (and the management is not bad).

Xu Shiyang asked her to follow her to participate in the spring ploughing, and Zhao Shan also had no complaints, and in addition to morning glory, she also had to go back and forth, directing the women to deliver food and water to the people working in the fields, and the workload was actually quite large.

Zhao Shan's character is like this, no matter what Xu Shiyang arranges her to do, even if she doesn't know at first, she must try to learn and adapt in the shortest possible time.

But if her husband doesn't arrange it, she will definitely not take the initiative to reach out (except for taking care of Xu Shiyang's daily life).

Today, Zhao Shan did not receive Xu Shiyang's arrangement, so she took the initiative to signal that she wanted to look at the notebook ......, there is no doubt that this kind of strange thing will happen, it must be that Zhao Lin wants to make some requests to Xu Shiyang through this sister.

As expected.

"Linlin said that you once promised her that if there was a spare musket, you would give her one." Zhao Shan lowered her head and said a little embarrassedly: "She also said that you have extra muskets now, and it is difficult for a gentleman to chase ...... horse." ”

The little girl observed very carefully, Xu Shiyang did have extra muskets now.

No, to be exact, he had some extra muskets in his hand.

The 15 muskets fired only a dozen times during the attack on Fulai Mountain have been fired only a dozen times so far, and they are all in good condition, after which Xu Shisong completed the tail list of the Tartar slave trade and sent another batch to Xu Shiyang, plus there was some production before the production of arquebuses began, Xu Shiyang now has a total of 32 muskets in his hands.

For the time being, the new army only needs 20 muskets, and the remaining 12 are also being considered by Xu Shiyang who should be equipped.

To tell the truth, giving muskets to anyone except the new army would make Xu Shiyang feel uneasy—not because there was any technology that needed to be kept secret, but because he was not worried about the quality of these peasant soldiers.

Arquebuses, and of course muskets, are much less secure than flintlock pistols.

A flintlock pistol is ready to fire when the hammer is wrenched, while an arquebus must keep the arquebus burning. As long as the battlefield is entered, even if the soldier is not yet engaged in battle, but just standing still, the arquebus must be lit, and if the arquebus is extinguished due to accidents or quality problems, it must be lit or replaced in time.

Throughout the process, open flames appear repeatedly in places where gunpowder is everywhere, and can even be described as "playing with fire next to gunpowder", and if you are not careful, the tragedy of the musketeer lighting himself will occur.

In fact, now Xu Shiyang does not even dare to replace the arquebuses of the spearmen in the new army, and can only rely on the members of the original pro-army - they are young, their learning spirit and growth speed are trustworthy, and they can accept new things faster.

As for the other militia ...... who had not participated in the winter training, Xu Shiyang felt that the trouble of giving them muskets might be higher than the convenience brought by muskets.

Therefore, the remaining 12 muskets are now in warehouses and are not distributed at all.

And Zhao Lin is eyeing these weapons.

"Lady, I remember, what I told Zhao Lin at the time was that if you have extra muskets, you can consider equipping female soldiers."

Xu Shiyang thought for a while, smiled and said:

"It's not about giving her a gun, and it's not necessarily about equipping female soldiers. And now I don't think it's realistic to equip female soldiers. ”

"Why?"

"First, I asked them to join the army at that time, but only Zhao Lin signed up alone, of course, I know you also signed up, but you were brought by Zhao Lin, not your own true thoughts, right?"

Zhao Shan wanted to say something, but didn't say it, just nodded slightly.

"Second, the musket requires a lot of training to exert its power, and Zhao Lin has not experienced this kind of training, so it is very dangerous for her to use this weapon."

"Linlin has trained." Zhao Shan muttered quietly.

"Huh? Has she trained? What do you mean? ”

"Linlin made a 'musket' out of a bamboo tube, used fine sand as gunpowder, and trained herself according to the process you used to train new musketeers."

Zhao Shan replied:

"By now, it's estimated that she's practiced thousands of reloads, but she's never really shot."

“……。”

This news is really amazing, Xu Shiyang is a little speechless.

If all the militia were so diligent and studious, now he could try to unify the entire Qi Province first.

"Moreover, Linlin called all the girls from the medical team to train together." Zhao Shan continued: "It's just that the others don't train as much as Linlin. ”

This is even more amazing.

"How did she do it?" Xu Shiyang asked in surprise.

The girls of this era, showing up to join the medical team, dealing with the blood flowing everywhere and the miserable white bones is already amazing, last time Xu Shiyang asked them to choose whether they are soldiers, except for Zhao Shan and Zhao Lin, the girls chose not to count, Xu Shiyang was not angry, but expressed understanding.

Unexpectedly, in the past half a year, Zhao Lin was able to pull them together to conduct additional military training in addition to their busy work!

"Actually, it's very simple."

Zhao Shan blushed, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito:

"Linlin took them to see the training ...... the pro-soldier team."

It's really simple, young Muai, and vice versa.

The young men of the Central Plains Pro-Soldier Brigade of the New Army were the objects of unmarried women in the dock fort - because they were highly subsidized, promising, and after a winter of polishing, they were tall and full of confidence, and they were indeed quite different from the other bunker citizens.

Zhao Lin knew this, so she voted for the little sisters of the medical team, saying that only by going through the same training as the young soldiers could she understand what these little brothers were thinking, and she could stand out among so many girls in Wubao and successfully find Ruyi Langjun.

That's the general meaning, of course, what Zhao Lin said specifically, Zhao Shan was reluctant to tell Xu Shiyang, because it was too embarrassing.

It's just that judging from the results, Zhao Lin did achieve his goal, and the girls in the medical team who refused to join the army quietly carried out military training for a long time.

Moreover, they have no training, physical fitness, etc., but only training to load muskets, coupled with the attention of the girls, I am afraid that if only this item is counted, the level of the medical team is no less than that of the new army musketeers.

What a surprise.

"So be it." Xu Shiyang said seriously: "I'll find a time to let the female soldiers of the medical team shoot live ammunition once to see how good their level is." ”

"If they can do well, I will not only equip them, but also improve their treatment!"
