Chapter 30: The Justice Expected by Blacksmith Liu

Blacksmith Liu was completely moved when he heard this, he had hated the Wang family for a long time, but what could he do as a grass citizen, even if he was forced to die, he just cursed a few words in secret.

But now that there was a glimmer of hope for revenge, how could he not be ecstatic in his heart, not to mention that the price paid was only a hundred yuan, so under the encouragement of the middle-aged man, Blacksmith Liu quietly joined the Freemasonry with his son.

Li Qingyuan really didn't think so about Blacksmith Liu's question, so when Wu Sanniang asked the same question, Li Qingyuan said with a smile: "How much does it cost for an ordinary person to survive?" It's just one or two pieces of silver a year, and spending this money is certainly equivalent to giving it away for nothing, but aren't there more of us? ”

Although Li Qingyuan's family is only two or three hundred thousand taels now, he is really not worried at all, Li Qingyuan feels that this is the same as those software spending money to win members, as long as there are more people, it can naturally become money.

Think about it now, if Li Qingyuan holds a huge organization of two or three hundred thousand people, can he only earn two or three hundred thousand taels a year? This is obviously insulting Li Qingyuan's IQ!

Even if he can't earn it, isn't Li Qingyuan still able to grab it! In fact, the real natural disasters of these people are still relatively rare, most of the causes of poverty are man-made disasters, these landlords also have good fortune, but there are also many bad people, for the wealth accumulated by the evil people for several generations or even dozens of generations, robbing a family can benefit thousands of people.

Now Li Qingyuan is discussing with Wu Sanniang how to deal with the Wang family, and helping Blacksmith Liu find his daughter, looking for his daughter is to give an explanation to the Liu family, after all, this life is not to see people to die or to see corpses.

As for dealing with the Wang family, that is the question of how many people to dispatch and how to fight, after all, the Wang family is in the town, and this town is not small, and there are fewer people who go In case they are trapped in the town, it will be troublesome if they can't get out.

But there are too many people to go, it will inevitably cause large-scale panic, and it will be troublesome to expose the rebels when the time comes, so Wu Sanniang is worried, and she can't think of a way, so she comes to ask Li Qingyuan.

Li Qingyuan thought for a long time before saying: "Forget it, safety first, so let's do it, you send thirty or fifty capable people to enter the town the night before, and they are working in the early morning, and after killing the main personnel of the Wang family, they will only take some valuable things, and don't ask about the rest." ”

Wu Sanniang looked at the intelligence and muttered: "There are still more than 1,000 stone of grain in this Wang family's grain depot, as well as two grain stores, a pawnshop, and five blacksmith shops, it's a pity that you don't want them, didn't you say that there was a shortage of iron a few days ago?" There is also an iron-smelting furnace in this Wangjia mine! ”

Li Qingyuan shook his head with a smile, feeling that Wu Sanniang, who was biting her fingers and calculating, was quite cute: "Okay, the days are still long!" Sooner or later, it's all ours, and now it's just for them to save it for us! ”

Wu Sanniang also knew that she couldn't be in a hurry, after a month of uprising life, she also knew that this peace was not easy to come by, everyone finally had a stable nest, don't recruit a large number of officers and soldiers because of their greed.

Wu Sanniang nodded and left, Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said, "Don't panic, bring an explosive bag when you leave, and blow up the city wall in case of an accident." ”

"Your explosives bag is too heavy......." Wu Sanniang complained that people like her hate this kind of thing that gets in the way the most.

Li Qingyuan shook his head: "You can run away at any time, but not all of your subordinates can climb the wall, prepare one, in case you use it, isn't it just to bring more people!" ”

Wu Sanniang agreed, looking at her distant back, Li Qingyuan was a little pity, if this is a town, I am afraid that the harvest will be greater than that of the ordinary county, but Li Qingyuan thought of his group of soldiers and sighed, if this is defeated, it will be exterminated in minutes.

After more than half a month of training, most of these soldiers can finally distinguish between left and right, and for some of them who really have no sense of direction, Li Qingyuan can only let them serve as cooking soldiers or baggage soldiers.

Li Qingyuan doesn't have such a lot of patience to teach slowly, every minute of his time is precious, and today is the day when the second gun is made, and today Li Qingyuan is going to start formal training for these soldiers.

So before training, let them watch a shooting show, at least let them know what kind of weapons they will use, why they want to train such a queue, this is much more efficient than blindly letting them practice to death.

In later generations, some people argued that it was unnecessary for the troops to stand in a military posture, and it was useless to practice the queue, because later generations fought wars with skirmishers or armored charges, but for this era, there would be no controversy, the queue is the soul of the troops, and the neatness of the queue and the intensity of training are the embodiment of a unit's combat effectiveness.

The musket tactic is to line up and shoot, to see who shoots fast, to see who holds on for a long time, to see who can have more willpower, who is the winner, before the rear-loading rifle comes out, the musketeer must stand or half-kneel to load gunpowder, so even if Li Qingyuan knows more advanced tactics, but no weapon is useless.

After Li Qingyuan got the second gun, he was also very happy, he could finally start the demonstration, why not demonstrate it after the first gun came out? That's because there are no qualified shooters, and the performance of the gun still needs to be experimented, so Li Qingyuan has been practicing the gun for the past few days while recording various data.

When the musket is loaded with rapid bullets, the effective range is between 230 and 280 steps, which is about one meter, and when loaded with clamped lead bullets, the range of the musket can reach 420 to 500 steps.

Li Qingyuan was very satisfied with the superior performance, but after more than 50 shots, the rifling was basically scrapped and needed to be rebuilt.

So the life of fifty bullets is enough to fight three battles, but the originally planned gun training plan can only be replaced by a bird gun, and in the past few days, Li Qingyuan has tested the bird gun of the Qing Dynasty by the way, so that he can know himself and his opponent.

The quality of the thin barrel of the bird gun is not good, so the charge is not much, and the general quality of the gun can shoot about 100 to 120 steps, while the average quality of the soldier does not dare to load so much gunpowder, can only achieve a range of more than 80 steps.

So after watching the bird gun, Li Qingyuan was more confident in his firecracker, and all the soldiers were concentrated on a slope, which was a design training ground specially leveled by Li Qingyuan.

More than 3,000 people sat on the slope except for the guard, watching Li Qingyuan perform shooting for everyone, and the black and oppressive people, wearing messy clothes, Li Qingyuan felt like a sports meeting.
