In order to quickly finish the salary, Li Qingyuan and his party used ten scales of silver to make the sound, and when the sound was made, it was also a class by class, so by the afternoon, half of the troops had already received the salary, and the rest of the people continued to pay the next day.

The next day, it took another morning, and finally the part of the soldiers was distributed, and the rest were distributed by the logistics personnel one after another, so there was no need for Li Qingyuan to be present to supervise, and many people were no longer here.

Just as Li Qingyuan was rubbing his neck and resting, Sanniang hurriedly walked over with a crow: "Qingyuan, then Wu Duyan issued a Jianghu order asking everyone to come to his cottage for a meeting, if anyone doesn't go, he will bring someone to beat him after the New Year." ”

When Li Qingyuan heard this, his eyes lit up, he touched his chin and said, "It seems that this Wu Duyan is going to do something big!" For me, I've always wondered if this Wu One-Eyed and Wu Scar are relatives? ”

The crow shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, shouldn't it?" There are many people with the surname Wu. ”

Li Qingyuan nodded and asked curiously: "Since this is a Jianghu recruitment order, it will definitely not be issued only to your family, it is estimated that I will also send someone to send it to the Wu Scar territory in the south, and if their relatives know that we killed Wu Scar, will they come to beat us directly?" ”

The crow thought for a moment and said, "Probably not, right?" In fact, this Jianghu recruitment order is very good, but it is sent to a few mountains close to him, and others may not pay attention to him if they want to send others, but my territory will be received if it is close to him, right? ”

Li Qingyuan thought about it, his thoughts may not be able to find it, these bandits are generally very careful about their lair, that is, those who are close know a little, how can they touch it if they are far away. If they had this ability, the Qing army would only need to catch a bandit, and the entire Taihang Mountain would be all in one pot.

"When are you going?" Li Qingyuan was still thinking about how to deal with it, and asked casually.

"Oh, the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve." The crow frowned and said, thought about it and asked: "This is the New Year and heavy snow, if you are afraid that you will have to leave two days in advance, it is estimated that it will be twenty-seven or eighteen when you come back?" Why don't we go too? ”

Li Qingyuan shook his head: "We not only have to go, but also to cheer for him, so let's do it, you have recently picked a dozen female soldiers to practice the short guns, I let the sharpshooter battalion also start to practice the shorts, and I will take the sharpshooter battalion with you on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, and let's see what he wants to do then?" ”

Wu Sanniang was anxious, waiting and gritting her teeth: "No, it's too dangerous over there, I'll just go with the crow, you can't go!" ”

"You can all go, why can't I?" Li Qingyuan was also unhappy: "Could it be that in your eyes, I can only stay in the house, and I can't go?" ”

"I didn't mean that, it's a den of thieves, if the enemy has bad intentions, we can escape, and you don't know how to ......do martial arts." Sanniang hurriedly explained.

Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time Wu Duyan himself is still precarious, and he will not easily do anything to the passage, it is estimated that this time he wants to contact more bandits, everyone fights against the Qing court together, and we will not only have no trouble when we go, but also greet us with good wine and food." ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the two of them and said: "Although I don't know martial arts, I have a sharpshooter battalion, and a pair of masters like the two of you, if he dares to mess around at that time, it will not be a matter of us running and running, but whether his ass can sit firmly or not." ”

Wu Sanniang asked worriedly: "Then we also have a spear, the range of the short gun is too close......." ”

Li Qingyuan rolled his eyes: "With a spear, isn't that clearly telling the other party that we are framing him?" Don't worry, although we only have a short gun, it will be more than enough to deal with him. ”

Wu Sanniang shook her head and felt that it was still unreliable, Li Qingyuan said patiently: "I went to encourage Wu One-eyed to rebel, you also know that next year is very critical for us, as long as Wu One-eyed rebels, then the attention of the Qing court will not be attracted by him, won't we be safe?" ”

"Then it's good to encourage him to rebel and I'll go, I don't need you to ......go," Wu Sanniang said that she had no confidence.

Li Qingyuan shook his head, to say that tempting people to commit crimes Wu Sanniang and crows must be better than himself, but the matter of inciting rebellion really requires Li Qingyuan to come in person, Wu Sanniang saw Li Qingyuan shaking her head and said helplessly: "Then I'll pick more good hands...... ”

After the action plan was determined, Li Qingyuan was busy getting the sharpshooter battalion familiar with the short guns, Wu Sanniang and the crows also went back to select people, and the selected people were also sent here to train the short guns, but what he didn't expect was that these twenty girls did attract a large group of wolves.

After the soldiers of the other battalions heard that a group of female soldiers had come to the sharpshooter battalion, they all found all kinds of excuses to run here after training, pointing at other girls, making the girls blush one by one, and they couldn't concentrate on training.

Li Qingyuan had no choice but to order the other battalions not to jump around at will to stop this craze for visits, but this also gave Li Qingyuan a wake-up call, these young men with strong blood and strength are afraid that something will go wrong if they hold back for a long time, and it seems that they need to give them early fun after training.

Of course, this fun is not that kind of fun, but refers to engaging in some games and confrontational games for these people's entertainment, and then Li Qingyuan successively invented football, tug-of-war, stone-throwing competitions and other activities.

This stone-throwing competition was prepared for the future equipment of grenades, and now Li Qingyuan's gunpowder inventory is not large, and the power of black powder grenades is limited, so Li Qingyuan did not start producing grenades.

But if it is not produced now, it will still be produced in the future, and this weapon is still good even if it is limited in power to defend the city wall, besides, sooner or later new gunpowder will be invented, and Regon will develop it sooner or later, and it is always good to practice more.

After more than 10 days of training, a new round of selection for the musket battalion began, and this time these soldiers were ready to do a great job, and they were only looking forward to using better weapons before, but now they are even more looking forward to getting more military salaries, and they are more motivated than before.

This time, three battalions will be equipped at one time, and a thousand soldiers will be selected to become musketeers, and after this batch is completed, the remaining half will be converted into musketeers next month, and the number of battalions will increase from the current twelve to twenty, two of which are in Shandong, and the remaining eighteen battalions will be produced here.

And this selection will also select eight reserve battalion commanders, and the selection method is to see whose subordinates have passed the musketeer assessment with more people, so not only the soldiers are very nervous, but even the officers are constantly cheering everyone on.

The selection of the musket battalion is not only better than whose marksmanship, in addition to marksmanship, there are also requirements for the queue, by standing in a military posture to walk the right step, walking in line, etc., will be assessed, only the best can enter.
