In the following decades, which company was the fourth infantry company established during the Hongjun period, which company was the fourth infantry company established during the Hongjun period, has always been a hot topic of dispute between the two systems.

The old man of the original Jintang Company firmly believed that after the Battle of Panshizhai, Jintang Sentinel had made all preparations for the official establishment, but it was not publicly announced, and Liu Inspection Point had also publicly announced that the reserve team would be reorganized into Jintang Sentinel, so the establishment of Jintang Sentinel was before Niudao Sentinel.

However, the old man of the Niudao Company system firmly believed that the Niudao Company was established on the seventh day of the second month of the fifth year of Xianfeng, and when the remnants of the rebel army of the Shanghai Xiaodao Society came to Panshi Village, Zhou Xiuying and Lu Ziyun impressed Liu Jian with their outstanding performance, so the Niudao Whistle was immediately established on the same day, and the formation of the Jintang Whistle was the next day.

Although this is only a one-day time gap, the old men of the two major systems have written hundreds of articles to argue about this major line issue of the Rainbow Army period, and this controversy has continued, so that the official war history such as "The Development History of the Rainbow Army in Southern Zhejiang" is also vaguely stated as: "At the beginning of February, Liu Jiandian made an extremely wise decision, and at the same time formed infantry companies such as Niudao Sentinel and Jintang Sentinel, which laid a firm foundation for the development and growth of our army. ”

In fact, this was just Liu Chang's temporary suddenness, when the firecrackers set up by the Ox Knife Whistle kept ringing, Liu Chang had already found that he had made a small mistake: "Jintang Whistle is also going to prepare to shoot such a string of firecrackers, don't forget them!" ”

Jintang Whistle, naturally taken from the meaning of Jincheng Tangchi, the reserve team in the Panshi Village garrison battle showed extraordinarily tenacity, so Liu Chang deliberately named this sentry Jintang Whistle.

But Yun Tianzong next to him reminded: "Check, most of the reserve team went out to protect salt today, and they will come back tomorrow!" ”

Liu Chang nodded: "When they come back tomorrow, let them also set off firecrackers, the Jintang whistle has been established, and also, give them a platoon of flintlock pistols!" ”

It turned out that Liu Chang was preparing to realize the basic foreign guns of the three sentry posts of Dragon Lance, Nanxi and Panshi, but after the episode of Lu Ziyun, there were only six platoons of foreign guns that could be used by these three infantry companies: "The Dragon Lance Sentry is the crown of the whole army, and it is necessary to realize all of them into foreign guns, two firing gun platoons, one flintlock pistol, and Nanxi Sentinel has two flintlock pistol platoons!" ”

The rock sentry used to have two flintlock pistol platoons, but now it has been reduced to the same treatment as the two newly established sentry posts: "Send all foreign guns to each sentry and regularize the troops as soon as possible!" ”

It's not enough to just have foreign guns, you have to carry out regular training, a drop of sweat in peacetime, a drop of blood in wartime, fortunately, Liu Chang's training of these sentries is very solid in peacetime, and it only takes half a week to basically complete the training of changing weapons.

Duncan added: "Although I am an engineer, I am also willing to provide assistance in military training!" ”

"That's great! Thank you, Lord Duncan! Liu Chang expressed his gratitude to Duncan: "If you show outstanding ability in this regard, I will give a second salary!" ”

"There is no problem!"

At this time, Yun Tianzong said more: "Check, I just came from Ye Niangzi, Ye Niangzi has an urgent matter to see the check!" ”

"If you still want granular gunpowder, then give her a few more barrels, right?" Liu Chang had already thought about it: "We bought a hundred barrels of black powder in one go this time, and giving Ge Wu a few barrels will not cause a big problem!" ”

"It's not!" Yun Tianzong told Liu Chang: "Fifth Master Ge sent a fast boat over, I don't know what important news Ye Niangzi has gotten, and then I will see the inspection immediately!" ”

"Looks like something big has happened!" Liu Chang told Yun Tianzong: "Invite Mrs. Ye over!" ”

Taking advantage of the moment when Ye Niangzi came over, Liu Chang chatted with the cadres of Niu Dao Whistle again.

Among the 100 people in Niu Dao Whistle, the old department of the Little Knife Club brought by Zhou Xiuying from Shanghai is certainly the backbone, but the thirty Dongxiang veterans that Liu Chang mixed in can also play the role of the mainstay, Zhou Xiuying made it clear to Liu Chang: "Of the three platoon commanders, I only use one of Lu Ziyun, nine squad leaders, and I only use four, and the rest of the people use to check the people on your side!" ”

As for the 50 Qing army prisoners who were added to the Niudao Whistle, after more than half a month of training, they were also refreshed, and although they still had the habits of some veterans, they all had the same vigor as before.

Of course, Zhou Xiuying also played a little trick, although she only used Lu Ziyun as one of the three platoon commanders, but Lu Ziyun's platoon was equipped with only thirty flintlock pistols in the whole outpost, which was the best equipped platoon with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Liu Chang did not pursue Zhou Xiuying's little trick, he talked with the cadres about the issue of going north: "As long as we train well, we must do everything we can to go north!" We only have the opportunity to go north! ”

In fact, he also said the same thing at other sentry posts, everyone expressed support for the development of Taizhou, even the dragon spear post with the heaviest color of the Red Turban Army, was willing to go north - there is another meaning to the north, that is, Liu Chang's army will be separated from the Red Turban Army and will be unique.

Of course, everyone avoids talking about the subtext behind this, and there are some things that can only be done, not said.

Next to him, Zhu Dun beat a side drum to Liu Chang: "Yes, except for going north to Ningbo, Taizhou, there is no other way to go!" When the time comes, the brothers will work harder, and we will be able to check everyone, as soon as the brothers of the Little Knife Club come over, the soldiers will be there, the position will be there, and the foreign guns will be there! I also hope that the brothers of the Little Knife Club can help us check it out! ”

"No problem, no problem!" Zhou Xiuying has already agreed: "Aren't we a knife whistle?" Check which chicken you want to kill, and with a hello, Xiuying's knife is absolutely unambiguous. ”

Saying that, Zhou Xiuying waved a horse chopping knife more than one meter long, and this sharp blade that drank countless Qing army blood was wielded by Zhou Xiuying very beautifully: "Since the inspection point has been said, I Zhou Xiuying has no second sentence, go north, and I can go back to Shanghai all the way north!" ”

As he was talking, Yun Tianzong over there had already brought Ye Niangzi over, Ye Niangzi heard this sentence from a distance, and immediately clapped her hands and said: "It's really a good ambition to check, but I don't think you may be able to go north as you wish." ”

"Ye Niangzi, I'm a little sorry at first, but now that Count Deemmons is gone, we can also have a good talk!" Liu Chang did not avoid Zhou Xiuying and them: "We are old friends, how about I give you ten barrels of granular gunpowder at the original price this time, and I won't earn a penny!" ”

"My news is worth more than ten barrels of black powder." Ye Niangzi glanced at Zhou Xiuying with great interest: "This sister with a big knife is so Peugeot!" ”

Zhou Xiuying is ten years old this year, and she looks two or three years older than Ye Niangzi: "This girl, let's check and give you ten barrels of black powder at the original price, in this situation, it is worth more than anything else!" ”

Ye Niangzi did not hurry to pull out the flintlock pistol she was carrying: "But the problem is that as soon as this news comes, the inspection point will not be able to go north as expected!" ”

"Why?" Liu Chang then closed the door to cooperation: "Then Mrs. Ye, please go back, my determination to go north has been decided." ”

Ye Niangzi was finally willing to tell the truth: "Forget it, this news will be sent to the inspection point, presumably in a few hours, the inspection point can also get this news, and then it will definitely be with our fifth master by land and water and attack to fight Ruian." ”

"What's going on?" Liu Chang didn't think any news would change his determination to go north to Taizhou.

Ye Niangzi exhaled like an orchid, and a pair of half-exposed snow peaks shook in front of Liu Chang's eyes: "My Red Turban Army has taken Pingyang County!" The fifth master and I want to cooperate with the inspection point for a good time. ”

Pingyang County? Liu Chang had already shown a map of the entire Wenzhou Mansion in his mind, and then he said incredulously: "How is it possible? How is it possible to take Pingyang County? ”

The butterfly flapped its wings again, and it will be a big storm that will sweep the entire Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Fujian!
