Chapter 125 Expansion of the Army and the Idea of New Arms
The cold autumn wind whistling, blowing through the wild grass on the training ground, making a whooshing sound, was covered by the shouts of the soldiers, the autumn wind became colder and colder, it was already October 10 of the ninth year of Chongzhen, gradually entering the late autumn, it has been five days since the last time in the Qianhu pretend, and the Baihu Institute has also been expanded during this time, in addition to the needs of farming, other people, such as the blacksmith family, are all involved in Shunchang Fort, no way, the system base is here, there is no way to change the territory.
"Lord, those hundred households can't be so laissez-faire, if you want me to say, kill them directly" Huang Chunsheng said viciously on the side, his vicious appearance, under the backdrop of the yellow coat, is still very powerful, and this old man also slowly has something called aura.
The hundred households he was talking about were the eight hundred household officers, as well as the general banner, their fields, and their families were all absorbed by Xiaochuan, so this Huang Chunsheng was worried that they would hold a grudge, so he proposed to kill them all, and this old man has become very ruthless now.
"Kill?" Xiao Chuan was stunned for a moment, he also thought about killing him to regret it, but in the first place, this group of people had no hatred for himself except for encroaching on the military field, and he couldn't kill them. After the second killing, it can't be said that they are all thieves with Zhou Zheng, Zhou Zheng himself is a distant relative of the Zhou family, and there are some clues to be found, this group of people killed and caused a commotion, of course, the most important point, they themselves are hereditary officers, their ancestors have been soldiers for generations, professional soldiers who have practiced martial arts since childhood, have strong combat effectiveness, and are stronger than the nine-star troops, and they also have experience in leading soldiers, and the idea in their hearts is naturally recruitment.
"What about the information I asked you to find?" Xiao Chuan said that the information is the information of the nine hundred households, the personal files of them, to see if they have any bad habits, and what black history they have.
"Nine hundred households are innocent, and there are twenty general flags that have only encroached on fertile land for so many years" Huang Chunsheng said, just encroaching on the fields, as for embezzling military salaries or something, it is impossible, the Ming Dynasty guards are self-sufficient, and there is nothing for you to embezzle.
"Of these 29 people, who has any vices," Ogawa said.
"Could it be that you really want to recruit them, my lord" Huang Chunsheng's face changed, and he was a little worried: "No, what about their loyalty, how do you know their loyalty?"
"Don't worry about this, they eat and live together with our sergeants, naturally they have comradeship, don't you have this loyalty" casually found a reason to dispel Huang Chunsheng's worries, of course, this is not the main reason, the main thing is that the system barracks, after entering for a month, 50 loyalty will be automatically added, otherwise how could Xiaochuan rest assured that such a group of people would come.
With such loyalty, these twenty-nine professional soldiers trained since childhood, and many years of combat experience, are simply the best candidates for low-level officers, and among them, those who can ride horses are simply good seedlings who do not harvest at night.
Huang Chunsheng sighed and did not speak. Xiao Chuan said: "What about the transfer of thousands of households" This is the most important thing, that is, the transfer, the original situation of the thousand households is that Zhou Zheng's thousand households are the center of gravity, and the nearby ten fortresses are surrounded by him, and the troops are scattered in the ten fortresses, but now it is not the case, all of them are concentrated, concentrated in their own Shunchang Fort, and the transfer work is even more important.
"The transfer of the various forts is also underway, and it is estimated that there will be about 300 merchants, more than 600 military households, plus their families, about 1,600 people, and 400 tenants, in addition to the tenants, there are also people responsible for cultivating the fields, and it is expected that about 1,000 military households will be transferred, and there will be merchants to come to our Shunchang Fort," Huang Chunsheng said.
After listening to his data, Xiao Chuan was happy in his heart, the biggest harvest is the land, originally all the land owned by thousands of households was evenly distributed to the farmers, and after the harvest of these lands in April and May next year, all the grain obtained was used for consumption, and he could insist on saying that in July, when sowing wheat, there is no need to worry about the problem of food.
There was a sparse roar of war horses, and two cavalrymen of about fifty men marched on the school field for training.
One was dressed in chain mail, with a three-eyed handcuff pinned to his waist, several rockets behind his back, and a bright scimitar in his hand, which shimmered in the sun.
The other one is a spear in each hand, some are Ma Shuo, wearing a suit of iron leaf armor, this is the cavalry team of Cao Chong and Wang Haozi, and now they have recruited sixty family members who can occupy it, and the family members are the elite carefully cultivated by this group of officers, and their riding and archery skills are strong.
Loyalty is a hard wound, in order to increase loyalty, they trained here, a month later, these family loyalty increased by fifty, and they went out to sentry.
Wang Haozi rode on the horse, glanced back, pouted, and said: "The kung fu of riding a horse is okay, but the ability to ride and shoot is really weak" He looked at Cao Chong again, and found that his new cavalry was not good, and he felt a lot of comfort, in fact, he really didn't want these families to be weak, they were carefully trained by those generals, and their combat effectiveness could be used as a general military formation, but compared with this group of system nine-star troops, they were immediately compared.
Those family members are all happy, and it is nothing for them to change the new master, the most important thing is that the money they earn every month has increased a lot, and this armor and rocket, it makes them feel that their original equipment is a turtle, and compared with them, they are officers and soldiers who are more rogue.
Wang Haozi looked at them, and his heart was even more annoyed, and said: "Damn, how happy it is to be outside the sentry, and I have to take these guys to train for a month, hey, it's really annoying."
"It's only a month" The bench on the side said with a smile, he was still very happy with the expansion of his team, and he was also very attentive to training, which directly led to the group of family members complaining a lot.
"Hey, yes, it's only a month, and Han Gang's guys are miserable," Wang Haozi smiled mockingly.
On the side, Han Gang and the others also recruited new soldiers, and they all rose to 100 households, recruited the military households of the original guards, and some tenants, and the people they recruited had no combat effectiveness, all of them were a group of outright recruits, and compared with that group of family members, it was simply a heaven and a place.
This is also the most important embodiment of the army in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the family is not strong, and the barracks are unbelievably weak.
Han Gang, Han Tie, Wang Youcai, Lantian, Li Ergou, Huang Shan, Li Hai, all of them have risen to 100 households, and the number of people is also full of 112 people.
A burst of iron armor clanging sound, red military uniform, the outside is a silver-like shiny iron armor, alternating red and white, always giving people a different kind of beauty, to say that the armor of each dynasty is the best, Xiaochuan thinks it is the Ming Dynasty, not only the armor, even the shield for you to make a pattern out, and the eight mixed iron hat helmet, not only with the lightning rod, but also around the round hat edge, it looks very beautiful, and the round brim can effectively prevent the projectile arrow cluster.
The recruits had just arrived, and they couldn't adapt to this kind of training, and if they didn't move correctly, they were punished to do push-ups and sit-ups next to them, and they complained one by one.
In the entire training ground, there was still no bloody shouting in the morning, only the screams of corporal punishment remained.
Especially that Lehi, this guy is simple-minded, he likes corporal punishment the most, and when he sees someone who is not moving correctly, he not only punishes him, but also kicks him twice.
Huangshan on the side is much simpler, the action is incorrect, deduct the military salary, of course, just fool them, he does not dare to really deduct the military salary, but this trick is extremely effective, those recruits would rather sigh military sticks than anyone wants to be fined, resulting in his training efficiency is very high.
Huang Chunsheng looked at Huang Shan's training, and his heart was full of joy, yes, yes, this time he finally compared the old man Li, hehe.
Bang bangββββ a loud sound like fried beans sounded, it was the team of Wang Youcai, his hundred households were all fire guns, divided into five rows, a row of twenty people, the sound of fire guns suddenly sounded in the school field.
In six seconds, there was a row of guns, and the endless firearms looked at the new soldiers and families on the side, all of whom were shocked. His face was pale, and he was frightened by the power of the fire gun that suddenly appeared on his back.
Wang Youcai is very satisfied, looking at the fire that has been expanded, he is proud in his heart, and he is even more happy when he looks at the fire gun in his hand, this is the Lu Mi gun that he has only recently made, and some of the new blacksmiths will make it, and he is tempted by the money of the patent, and he handed over the technology, and he began to build it, and he can build thirty in a month.
In the "Wubei Zhi", it is said: "Bird gun: Weilu Mi gun is the farthest and most poisonous, this Lu Mi gun is not only more powerful than the fire gun, but also the dragon head part and the ignition part behind have been transformed, making it more convenient for the fire rope to hit."
The only drawback of the new firebolt is its manufacturing speed, and now it is only possible to dig a blacksmith around.
Looking at this team, I always feel that there is still something missing, rockets, where has this thing just been sent to Old Man Li, it has not been tested yet, I don't know if it can be mass-produced, there will be a rocket army in the future, and there will be a grenadier team.
The grenadiers have never appeared in the East as a formed force, and the formed grenadiers in the West have proved the strong combat effectiveness of this branch of the army.
No matter how powerful the bird gun is, it can only hit the soldiers in the first one or two rows of the line, while the grenadier's grenade can directly kill the entire column of the enemy's soldiers, thereby disrupting the enemy's formation, and at the same time causing panic and even collapse of the whole line among the soldiers in the back row of the enemy.
There are also rocket soldiers, this thing is a bug, it is equivalent to a strong archer who does not consume physical strength, just wait for where the old man Li will be mass-produced, it is equipped for Wang Youcai, let him try the power of this thing.
There was also artillery, and artillery was also lacking, the main reason was that there were no craftsmen in the fortress who could cast artillery, and without artillery, it was naturally impossible to train artillery.
Seeing that this training was happy, there was a burst of electronic synthesis sound in my head, it was the sound of the tavern building being built, and I couldn't wait to see it.
Huang Chunsheng on the side heard that he was going to the tavern, and his face was a little angry, and he said: "My lord, such a good location, isn't it a waste of resources to go out and build a tavern for people you don't know?"
This tavern is the place where Xiao Chuan went out by himself, he smiled and said, "Hehe, old man, it's okay, it's just a tavern, this is what a friend of mine wanted, hehe"
