The three artillery pieces promised by Hechun had to wait for a month, but Guo Xing'a still drew out his manpower first and set up the artillery unit. The infantry company and the guard squad each drew some men, and selected several artillery pioneers from the miscellaneous service team last time to form a new artillery platoon. The platoon commander is Kong Zhen from the guard squad, and loyalty is definitely no problem, and Kong Zhen also participated in the artillery death squad last time, and he has practical experience in operating guns without conscience. Because of the people who have been buried alive in the bombing, their understanding of artillery drills is estimated to be higher than that of Goxinga. And the young man is also smart, he knows a little carpenter, he is not bad at arithmetic, and he must be a good gunner if he studies hard.

When Guo Xing'a wanted to choose someone, the first thing Fuquan recommended was Kong Zhen, the reason was that he knew carpenters. It took a lot of effort for Guo Xing'a to understand the advantages of understanding carpenters. Probably because carpenters need to calculate data to make furniture, and they have a certain understanding of angles and something. Anyway, after chatting with Kong Zhen once, Guo Xing'a found that this guy has some knowledge of geometry, at least he can understand the Pythagorean theorem.

I don't know the model of the cannon sent by Hechun, Guo Xing'a didn't dare to open the golden finger to build a gun truck in advance. We can only use the unconscionable cannon first, and let the artillery platoon practice some basic training such as loading and clearing. Five people had one cannon, and Kazuharu only gave three cannons, but the artillery platoon also had twenty-eight people. Goxinga's manpower was not rich enough to set aside thirteen men to transport the shells, and the extra ones were prepared for Goxinga's new weapons.

In view of the fact that the cannon without conscience is easy to explode, and Hechun's three foreign cannons are not good at what virtue they are, Goxinga has developed a new weapon-Hall rocket. Five of the thirteen were indeed part of the reserve transporting shells, and the other eight were two rocket groups. The Hall rocket is not a high-tech product, it can be said that there is almost no scientific and technological content, it is just a king-sized iron monkey. The Hall rocket was invented in the 1840s, but the current mainstream in Europe is the Congreve rocket, and the Hall rocket was not used on a large scale until the Civil War.

Congreve rockets are veritable oversized monkeys, and both are identical in appearance. Rocket-shaped arrowhead with a long wooden guide stick on the back. The design of the Hall rocket and the Congreve rocket is basically the same, but with the addition of spin. Small holes were added to the base to allow the exhaust gas to spin the rocket, allowing it to fly straight. The version of Goxinga is even more in place, adding a stable tail to the rocket to ensure that the rocket hits accurately and steadily. The biggest advantage of rockets is safety, and the most unlucky thing about this thing is dumb fire, and it will definitely not explode.

Goxinga also asked the carpenter to build several launchers, which were used for aiming rockets and salvos. However, Guoxing's mathematics is so bad that he can't teach Kong Zhen and others how to calculate ballistics. In the end, Guo Xing'a was angry, and simply threw it to Kong Zhen and they groped for themselves.

The assault battalion and the infantry battalion have become large, and Goxinga is ready to take the initiative next. There is no way to do it if you don't attack, and the Jiangnan battalion didn't count the food of the four hundred recruits in Guoxing'a. If they don't attack again, the recruits can eat Guo Xing'a to death with three meals a day. But thinking of attacking, Guo Xing'a seems to have lost his goal again. Everyone probably knows where the Taiping army is, even if the Taiping army moves, the cavalry will go out to reconnoiter and find it, Guo Xing'a is hesitating who to start a war with. It's not that Guo Xing'a hasn't fought the Taiping Army, but it's all a helpless move to be chased and killed. From the bottom of his heart, Guo Xing'a would rather fight bandits than provoke the Taiping army. Guo Xinga did not want to be an enemy of the Taiping Army, because the Taiping Army was once a hero in his mind.

When I was a child, the Taiping Army in the textbooks were all heroes who resisted*, and they were all heroes who rose up, and Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the father of the nation, called himself Hong Xiuquan second, and Guo Xinga naturally regarded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a hero. After crossing over, he can't fight side by side with the heroes due to the limitations of his identity, but let him drive the golden finger to fight the heroes, how much can't he do it!

Guo Xing'a, who was wandering blindly with his heart, met Fengsheng'a, who was also wandering blindly in the back of the village. After a simple etiquette, Guoxing sat down under the tree at the back of the village with Fengsheng, and people needed to talk when they were confused.

"It's rare that you are free, why did you come out for a walk?" Guo Xing'a and Fengsheng'a, the team left by their cheap fathers, don't communicate much. Although he has been entrusted with important tasks many times, he has never talked about it alone.

"My lord, the military training is almost over, let Acton and a few of them go to the village entrance to practice. Xia Guan had some worries and came out for a walk. Feng Sheng'a deliberately mentioned his own thoughts.

"Tell me about it!" Guo Xinga was very cooperative.

"The training is complete, what should the leader do next!" Feng Sheng'a didn't know whether to question or sigh.

"Take the initiative! Training is for the sake of fighting, and the brothers cannot be allowed to go back empty-handed! Guo Xing'a replied casually.

"Where do you want to fight?" Feng Sheng'a asked.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let Mu Daxia take people out in a few days to see if there are any bandits nearby." Goxinga is also struggling.

"You can send the bandits! With the current combat strength of the leader, the bandit is by no means our opponent! Only the real thing in the hands of the bandits is worth the loss! "Feng Sheng's heart is whether to fight the Taiping Army, how to fight the Taiping Army.

"Is it appropriate?" Goxinga still doesn't want to fight the hero in his mind.

"Bandits are not easy to find, and they work far away, and the gains outweigh the losses. The last time the method was successful, and a few more times, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to the Jiangnan camp. Feng Sheng'a thought that Guo Xing'a still had the idea of using bandits to pretend to be the Taiping Army and go to the Jiangnan camp to cheat the military merits.

"It's not! I don't think the Taipings are necessarily bad guys. Guoxing Ashun pouted with such a sentence.

"My lord, why do you think so?" Fengsheng'a really didn't expect that Guoxing'a would actually think that the Taiping Army was not a bad person.

"Before you found me last time, I heard from the Taiping soldiers who were chasing me." Guo Xing'a naturally couldn't tell Feng Sheng'a that his thoughts were taught by the teacher, so he could only rely on the farm tool corps casually. Although the Farm Tool Corps said something, Guo Xing'a didn't understand a word.

"How can adults believe the ridiculous words of the bandits!" Feng Sheng'a once wondered if Guo Xing'a had a bad brain, and a group of bad people who chased and killed you said that they were not bad people, so you believed it! Isn't that crazy!

"No, how can I kill them if I believe it, I just think what they said may have some truth!" Some of the distracted Guo Xing'a actually talked about the uprising with the real Eight Banners disciple Fengsheng'a.

"They're thieves!" Fengsheng'a really didn't understand what Guoxing's meant.

"They used to be good people, but because of natural disasters, the government was too exploited, and they rebelled when they had no way to live! Some of them are uneven, some are trying to survive, and they are all hard-working people! Liangshan heroes are not also heroes, I always think that I don't necessarily have to......" Guo Xing'a couldn't think of how to say it, in fact, he didn't succeed in his own heart. If you don't take the initiative to fight the Taiping Army, you have to wait for the Taiping Army to fight you. The rebellion is such a big thing, and neither of the two sides can go through their own ways, so forget it.

"My lord, do you think the bandit is a hero of Liangshan?" Fengsheng Ah is also a person who often makes teahouses, and Shuibo Liangshan is naturally familiar.

"Almost! A little sympathetic to them, we can try to recruit them, kill more harmful bandits, the Taiping army sees that we are powerful, and it will be fine if we surrender. After Guo Xing'a finished speaking, he felt naïve.

"My lord, do you know what to do after we catch the bandits?" Feng Sheng'a mentioned something else.

"Incorporate or dismiss! What else? "Guo Xing'a didn't understand what Fengsheng'a meant.

"Ling Chi is executed, and no one is left!" Fengsheng said viciously.

"What? And the prisoners we sent to the Jiangnan camp? Guo Xing'a was still repenting of the last time he rode a horse and killed people, and when he heard that the Qing army would slaughter prisoners, he immediately remembered the more than 300 prisoners he had sent to the Jiangnan camp.

"Don't worry, my lord, if they are fine, they should be incorporated by the group training." Fengsheng replied.

"You didn't mean ......," Goxing Ah worried about Feng Sheng'a, comforting himself.

"The chief soldier Zhang Guoliang was also a rebel in Zhao'an, and he was short of people at the moment. Our submission reported that the prisoners were all taken by the bandits, and that General Zhang would inevitably take them for his own use. Feng Shenga explained.

"That's good!" Guo Xing'a was shocked into a cold sweat, if these hundreds of people were really executed, it was equivalent to him killing hundreds of people at one time.

"Do you know why our army wants to execute all the prisoners of the bandits?" Feng Sheng'a hasn't put down the topic of killing prisoners.

"Why? Kill or not surrender! If we surrender like this, who will dare to surrender us in the future! "Guo Xing'a didn't understand why the Qing army wanted to kill and surrender.

"They won't fall, and those who are caught are stubborn to the end, what can they do if they don't kill?" Feng Sheng's expression was a little dull when he spoke.

"So the Taiping Army is so bloody! They're all tough guys! Guo Xinga exclaimed.

"It's not a man, it's a madman!" Fengsheng Ah Lian refuted Guo Xing Ah again and again.

"Crazy?" Goxinga remembered his men, and there was a group of people who looked a little manic at the moment.

"The bandits are not ordinary rebels, they all believe in the Hongyang cult, and they are extremely crazy!" Feng Sheng'a recalled the Taiping army he had seen.

"If you have different beliefs, you don't have to kill them all!" Guo Xinga thinks it's a matter of religious belief, like I believe in Buddhism, and you believe in Taoism. We can't just because they believe in Jesus, so we can kill them!

"Supposed, what will happen to us if the bandits are caught?" Feng Sheng'a asked.

"What will happen?" Guo Xing'a knew that the Taiping army was also a bit powerful in killing the Qing army.

"Light the sky lantern!" Fengsheng replied.

"Do you have to kill all of them to stop?" Goxinga still couldn't understand.

"My lord, I've really seen the cities that bandits have captured! Wherever the bandits passed, officials, banner men, scholars, monks, nuns, Taoists, merchants, men, women, young and old, even babies in swaddling clothes were all killed. In the places where the bandits passed, all young men and women were to accompany the army, and all those who refused to obey the thieves were to be put to death. And all those who follow the thief will join the religion, and those who believe in the cult will have a murderous nature. What if you don't kill! Feng Sheng'a said, and looked at Guo Xing'a quietly.
