In Yanzhou, the intersection near Laiwujian

Sanshiro, who was driving the ox cart, nodded at the departing figure. Only then did he smile and pull out a strip from the car, and the newly pulled it still had a big green root (white radish), and gnawed it with taste.

This thing is their favorite snack, not only full of moisture and taste, but also a light spicy taste can also satisfy hunger and greasy, but they are not afraid of eating bad stomach.

Moreover, it is simple and convenient to plant, and the cycle is short and the yield is high, even the rough and barren sandy soil can grow, so after training and labor, the kates rattling with each hand have become a unique scenery for their camp.

As the auxiliary service of the Tibetan people who were recruited by the Southern Dynasty to participate in the Northern Expedition, nearly 10,000 Japanese people from the princes of the Fusang Domain, after losing most of them in the death of illness, exhaustion and death, were finally able to get out of the way.

Not only does he have his own military family number, but he also has a special labor camp and resettlement place, and he lives in a decent house with a kang and a board bed, so he no longer has to worry about not being able to eat enough.

The evaluation of a two-legged animal, but more obedient and obedient than ordinary animals, makes them a benchmark and model of some kind of diligence and submissiveness.

Therefore, with the melon and potato paste of crushed salted fish and soy beans, you can eat enough roasted yams, and there are canned meat substitutes every three or five times, and you can also gnaw a few big roots to make snacks every time, not to mention how comfortable and enjoyable. Even the days when those small feudal lords led the head of the village and the landlord were just like that.

Looking at it, he suddenly stood up, but he finally waited for the crowd of people winding through the road, wrapped in dust, they were all refugees from other states who had come back from searching or fleeing.

After the poison and ferocity of the Saiwai Huma, these survivors had long been free of the confrontation and distancing of the so-called Southern Army, and only had the last hope of having a stable place to survive, and were escorted here.

It's just that things come first, and those who come early will naturally give priority to resettlement of good land close to the city and the main road, and the later they flee, the more remote and barren the resettlement place can be.

When the ready-made cooked land and sloping fields are gone, they can only go to the mountains and fields to reopen the land, or switch to logging and mining in the mountains and forests.

He remembered his duty, opened the lid of the wooden water tank on the ox cart, and greeted the poor men in a loud voice in half-baked Chinese, scooped them with a gourd scoop to replenish them one by one, and then each of them was given a large root, which was considered the rest of the journey.

Others, strung together by ropes, were the Humal captured in battle, and they were not treated like this, and after drinking on the side of the ox-cart, they would go their separate ways, covered with fishy and unkempt hair.

In the pits and deep shafts that belong to Laiwujian, they will be the best supply of coolies.

If you have not been crushed to death by the heavy labor that does not see the light of day within five years, you may be given the opportunity to see the light of day again and go to other places, such as the dangerous and heavy work of digging rocks in the mountains, or digging sand and rocks in the rivers, or going to the salt works by the sea to repair embankments and dig tidal flats...... Until it is squeezed out of the last trace of use......

As soon as Sanshiro thought of this, he couldn't help but have a certain natural sense of superiority and a sense of small luck.

And hundreds of miles away,

In the midst of the wild grass, Fang Bao, wearing a lock-up curtain and a leather vest, and a round-edged helmet on his head, walked at the forefront of the team with fire guns on his hands.

It seems that the original location of the road is no longer clear because it has been abandoned for too long, and it is necessary to retrace a path in the waist-high grass.

Under the spur of the spur, from time to time there were patches of grasshoppers and the like flying all over the sky, and there were startled small animals, in the sound of the rope, busy thinking about both sides to escape.

Although his face was covered in sweat, and the bare parts of his hands and feet were itchy from the countless blood marks scraped by the blades of grass, Fang Bao was still meticulous and concentrated, vigilant around him.

Thanks to the expansion of the main battle order, he also became the second largest army under the command of Liuzhou Zhenfu - the right guard of the camp, and a regular commander under the second battalion, three regiments and one team.

Although he was only one of the most basic nearly 10,000 men in the army, he still had a long way to go from the rank of gunmen, gunners, grenadiers, and old grenadiers, but he got what he wanted.

For example, this long gun that he regarded as a treasure in his arms, although it was said to be an old thing that was replaced by others after changing clothes, it was not as good as the Thunder (fire cap) gun that was rationed by those directly subordinate tooth soldiers and Yu Hou Army, or the Lianzhu (runner) fast gun, which was fast and dense to fight, but it was also a standard flintlock gun, and it was also a breech-loading gun that was easy to play.

You must know that in his uncle Fang La's team, he is still using those front-loading flintlock guns as treasures, and many people still use variegated old-fashioned firecrackers that have been changed to flintlocks, and even some continue to use thick and stupid fireworks.

Therefore, whether it is the inner chamber, the front sight or the door, he cleans and polishes it with small pieces of leather from time to time, and the gauntlets are also engraved with exclusive ornaments. Because, if there are no accidents, this long gun will stay with him for the rest of his military career.

It is equivalent to their lifeline, or the extra siblings, whether it is a warrior in heavy armor or a sturdy cow and horse on a rampage, before this projectile, it is an indiscriminate blow.

Therefore, as long as a sufficient number can be gathered, even the most powerful enemy will not dare to defeat its front.

In Fang Bao's standard Shiri, there are eleven members of the main and auxiliary groups, the chief of the double-haired short gun, the small chess player with a horn in his waist, and the remaining nine people, five gunners are responsible for carrying the hand card and double sub-medicine, which can be used as a cover or stretcher when necessary, and the other four gunners each carry two fire oil bombs or fire thunder bullets, and a short shovel for operation.

As a treatment for the main battle order, in addition to the mounts under each person's name, there are also two additional pack horses or large mules loaded with miscellaneous items. However, in order to conserve horsepower, they would dismount after a while, and so on in alternating rotations to ensure the explosiveness and sprinting speed of their mounts.

Fang Bao, who was the temporary leader of the team, suddenly stopped, and then gestured.

The place where he was, within a few breaths, quickly completed the steps of taking the medicine bag, stuffing the bullets, compacting the chamber, and preparing the trigger, and in the direction that Fang Bao was pointing, he raised the table tennis ball and shot it out.

Suddenly there was a scream from the grass, and the figures who had already rushed to the wrong place in a panic, and then there was a shouting one after another, and many people in ragged clothes with grass branches on their heads as cover jumped out of the grass. Almost quickly outflanked from the left and right.

Fang Bao and the others breathed a sigh of relief in this regard, the so-called head-on confrontation and encounter, they really didn't fear anyone.

And these are untamed people, it is said that they are the remnants of Dengzhou Town, but after Dengzhou Town was broken and destroyed, they were scattered in the four wilds, and in just a few years, they have already degenerated, such a barbarian appearance.

They swarmed in groups, entrenched in the ruins of large and small cities, towns and villages, almost instinctively attacking and plundering, a qiē outsider.

Originally, the army still had the intention of negotiating to accept it, but after suffering several losses for no reason, it was only left with the means of subduing it by force.

As a regular combat order, each fire is also equipped with an additional two-person half-catty cannon, or a small cannon, as a means of strengthening firearms. The cannons were also lowered from the horseback carriage to the ground and began to be loaded.

With the rumbling of cannons, blood flowers and stumps of flesh bloomed in patches in the grass, and large swaths of grass were blown down and bulldozed by the air waves, and trampled and crushed into the dirt by the fleeing footsteps.

In just two faces, these robbers didn't even hit the side, they were beaten and fell to the ground, and they had almost no ability to fight back, and unilaterally released the ducks.

In the sound of whistles and horns, Fang Bao trotted hard, barely keeping his left and right companions, covering the distance and formation, chasing these wolf-rushing thugs in groups of three or five, stabbing them from behind, one by one, they who had become frightened birds and did not dare to turn back, gradually assassinated or pulled them to the ground.

They chased a little far after them in one go, so that the gongs of the closing team were left far behind.

It wasn't until the new obstacles blocked the way that he cautiously stopped to regroup and count the number of people, only to find that in front of him was actually a city wall foundation that could not be seen left and right.

This is Dengju City? , Fang Bao looked at the huge ruins in front of him with some shock, buried in the crazy vines and weeds, it was hard to imagine that this was the heart and soul of the Beihai and Huangshuiyang many years ago, known as the first-class sea and land port in the Northland, the city that never sleeps in the East China Sea, and the Beihai and Huangshuiyang.

Before the Northern Army abandoned Dengzhou, in order to prevent it from being used by the follow-up enemy, it directly drove the local people to hollow out and push the two city walls surrounded by the inside and outside, and set a fire to burn the buildings that could be used as shelter in the city.

However, the huge foundation site left behind, and the outline of the water city exposed on the sea, can still make anyone who first arrives here breathtaking.

And when they crossed the site, they discovered a new situation, a few remnants of the enemy had already fled without a trace, leaving only a few women and children of all kinds, hiding in the straw confectionery, looking in horror at these heavily armed outsiders.

After a day and a night, Yao Pingzhong, the commander of the Laizhou regiment, arrived at the old site of Dengzhou City with a large group of soldiers and horses, together with the population and baggage collected along the way, and erected wooden fences and sentry towers to resist wild beasts and rogues on the ruins.

Haizhou, Yuzhou Dagang,

Kong Jiji, who is already the chief military director and material officer of Zhenfu Mansion, is also taking over and inspecting a batch of ordnance that Xin has arrived.

The wind, frost, rain and snow in the north made this young man from the ocean-going continent quickly complete a certain transformation from youth to adulthood, and became stable and more urban.

"The production of fire cap guns is only 400 per month...... There are 1,100 and 39,000 fire caps......"

"The number of corresponding revolver guns is even smaller, and the monthly output is less than hundred......

"This time, there are actually 300, and there are 1,800 five-turn and seven-turn bullet wheels each...... 500 sets of reloading equipment"

Hearing this, Kong Jiji couldn't help but shake his head.

This is also no way, limited by the process proficiency and yield rate in production, many complicated precision parts of the mechanism cannot be produced in large quantities.

However, it requires experienced and skilled craftsmen to polish and correct the process by hand, so it is impossible to make obvious breakthroughs in production efficiency and cost.

On the contrary, the old model of the original structure was much simpler, but the production has increased significantly. On the one hand, it is mainly because of the accumulation of the number of self-produced products in the rear, the improvement of the corresponding yield after the refinement of various process proficiency and standards.

On the other hand, it was the imperial court headed by Jiang Ningxing that also began to allocate a number of quotas for official management to the army free of charge.

Although the quality of these official products is somewhat rough and rough, and they need to be reprocessed and corrected after being re-forged and forged before they can be used as equipment standards, they at least save the most time-consuming and troublesome process of forging and drilling in the early stage for pre-military production.

In this case, they only need to concentrate their energy and resources on the production of supporting components such as the starting gun, and then transport them to the north to assemble them on the spot.

Then some minor components that do not require high materials, such as hoops and kits, bolts and rivets, can be made locally in the local smelters and iron works in Qingzhou, and even the wood used in the gun body can be taken locally.

The workshop on Prison Gate Island alone is fully equipped with sufficient materials and can provide about 5,000 units of key components for assembly every quarter.

In this way, in the second half of the year, in addition to the front-line units that give priority to supply, the rear units will not be equipped with enough firearms, so that they can only use primary firearms such as three-eyed guns and rockets, and the situation of making do with them first will be alleviated.
