To be able to receive the Baoding army peacefully, the tentacles of the starting point city extended more than 100 miles south to reach Baoding.

Dong Yongwen's concerns, Wang Yue understood that once the imperial court listed the Baoding army as a rebel, the Baoding army could not resist the attack of the Ming army from other directions. What's more, the Baoding Army is a regular army of the imperial court, how many people will sincerely rebel against the imperial court, and there is a question mark, in such a situation, its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Wang Yue said: "General Dong, if you sincerely belong to my starting point city, I plan to re-equip the Baoding army, so that the combat power of the Baoding army will be greatly improved." ”

Dong Yongwen became excited when he heard this, and his voice trembled a little: "Do you have to arm the Baoding Army with the weapons of the Tiance Army?" ”

If this is really the case, what is the Baoding army afraid of? In the future, the world will dare to go sideways, and he will dare to say no to the court.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "The weapons are different from the Tiance Army, but they can guarantee that your troops can defeat an army several times your size." However, before that, the Baoding Army must be vigorously rectified, and a stable military spirit is the guarantee of combat effectiveness. ”

The foreign trade version of the weapon has already been put into production, and the production of flintlock pistols is not complicated. Wang Yue got a large number of seamless steel pipes, and the barrels did not need to be made separately, saving a lot of processes. The same goes for solid steel cannons, and the barrels are also readily available. The primer is also a modern material used for firing, which is not comparable to the firearms of this era.

Through experiments, flintlock pistols in the starting city had four to five times the rate of fire of the arquebuses of this era, firing eight to ten projectiles per minute. The effective range can reach almost four hundred meters, and at a distance of six hundred meters it is still lethal. Coupled with the bayonets produced in the starting point city, it can be described as a sharp weapon for long-range and melee combat in this era.

The flintlock pistol is a smoothbore gun that uses a paper fixed charge projectile, and it is necessary to clean up the paper scraps with a strip before firing once. Because of the high rate of fire, even without the use of three-stage strikes, the density of fire is considerable.

The foreign trade version of the artillery was a steel cannon, which was lighter than the bronze cannons of this era, firing solid and scattered bullets.

In addition to this, the Baoding army will be equipped with grenades and stamped plate armor produced by the starting point city.

The Baoding army belongs to the starting point city, even if it is an army attached to the starting point city, so it is stronger than the servant army in the future.

What Wang Yue said about vigorously rectifying the Baoding Army is also what Dong Yongwen thinks, the Baoding Army is attached to the starting point city, and the bend is too big, and some people can't turn the bend is certain.

Dong Yongwen fell to the starting point city, and the 6,000 troops of the Baoding army also entered the starting point city. The area between the starting point city and Shijingshan Industrial Zone is currently the core area of the starting point city. As Wang Yue is about to recover, the bus between Qidiancheng and Shijingshan has also resumed its normal frequency.

The Baoding Army set up camp three kilometers north of the starting point, and the logistics office of the Tiance Army sent a large number of tents, food and other materials, in addition to military uniforms prepared for the whole army to change clothes.

Although the Baoding Army belonged to the regular army of the imperial court, in fact, the clothing of ordinary soldiers was still shabby. In order to distinguish it from other Ming troops and avoid accidental injury, it was imperative for the Baoding army to change its uniforms.

The military uniform prepared by the starting point city for the Baoding Army is the armed police uniform of another time and space, which is also green camouflage. After seeing the military uniforms of the powerful Tiance Army, the soldiers of the Baoding Army now don't feel weird, after all, this new military uniform is much stronger than their original ones.

It's just that the sudden change of clothes made these Baoding soldiers talk a lot.

"Captain, why did we suddenly change our uniforms?" A young soldier asked his captain suspiciously.

"His grandmother's, let you change it, where did you get so much nonsense? Isn't this uniform good, I think it's much stronger than what we wear. "Captain Wu is a pragmatist.

A veteran next to him smiled and said, "Look at this situation, eighty percent of our Baoding Army has taken refuge in the starting point city." ”

"Lao He, are you saying that we are going to become a celestial army?" Another soldier asked, "Look how similar this uniform is theirs!" ”

Lao He took two puffs of dry tobacco, and then said: "We are in response to the military order of the imperial court to make it difficult for the army." Now that you have the supply of the starting point city, and you have to change your outfit again, can't you see it? ”

"It's best not to fight with the Tiance Army, it can frighten me these days, when you are in North Korea, can't you see it? Fighting with the Tiance Army is a dead end. Wu Chang said with palpitations.

Another soldier's eyes widened and said, "Then aren't we also rebels?" ”

Wu Chang snorted and said to him, "If you want to be a righteous man, you can leave now." Lao Tzu thinks that the Tiance Army is very good, and compared with others, we are called Huazi. ”

"Wu, Wu Chang, I didn't mean that, it's just that our family members are all in Baoding." Another soldier said.

Lao He and the old god said in the tunnel: "The families of the chief soldier and others are all in Baoding, they have their own arrangements, so you don't need to worry about it." ”

Wu Chang also said: "Most of the families of our Baoding army are in Baoding, and the chief soldier will definitely make proper arrangements, so you can rest assured."

The Baoding Army has been dealing with the Starting Point City for a long time, and the wealth of the Starting Point City and the strength and generous treatment of the Tiance Army have always made them envious, so the obstacles to attaching to the Starting Point City are very small.

The Baoding army still has left-behind troops in Baoding Prefecture, and there is no problem in doing city defense, and it is more than enough to deal with the county soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Baoding prefect, and the army will also send troops to assist in the defense.

"What? Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, went to see Wang Yue privately, and the Baoding army drove into the starting point city? Didn't they fight? After Yang Sichang received the news, he immediately entered the palace to report the matter to Chongzhen.

Wang Yue's injuries are no longer serious, although the starting point city has cleaned up the hidden stakes of Jinyiwei, but hundreds of thousands of people in the starting point city have been notified, and it is not difficult for Jinyiwei to find out such news.

Now the changes in the Baoding army have puzzled Chongzhen, with the style of the military leaders in these years, the behavior of the Baoding General Soldier Dong Yongwen is not like a hot-blooded young man.

Yang Sichang's face was very ugly and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the Baoding Army was invited by the Tiance Army and in a friendly manner. ”

Chongzhen said sharply: "Yang Aiqing, do you mean that the Baoding Army has also become a traitor?" Why are they like this? ”

"The minister doesn't know, but I heard that Dong Yongwen has been very close to that king since the rebellion in Beijing last year!" Yang Sichang only took office in the first month, which is tantamount to shirking half of the responsibility.

Chongzhen asked: "Then Aiqing's plan to divide and disintegrate the Tiance army is now effective?" ”

Yang Sichang sighed and said: "Wang He, the head of the Sixth Regiment of the Tiance Army, who came to the family, already has the heart to serve the imperial court, but who knows that there is no news suddenly, it seems that there is more luck and less luck." ”
