Section 247 Recruiting private soldiers

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"My lord, the quality of this batch of barrels has never been seen before by the villain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If an arquebus is made from this barrel, the charge of the musket can be increased by at least three percent, and the firing range will be increased accordingly, and there is no need to worry about exploding the chamber ......"

"My lord is really a god!"

"Now the villain is finally relieved, and there will be no more explosions."

……

Wang Dali and the other craftsmen repeatedly stroked the seamless steel pipe, and their eyes swelled with irrepressible joy.

At the same time, I am full of confidence in my future life in the south.

"According to this method, 100 steel pipes are produced, all of which are used to build self-generated firearms, and with the use of artefacts by craftsman Liu's customized gunpowder to test performance and data, what is the problem?"

Qin Haoming suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to everyone.

The self-made fire gun is also called the flintlock pistol, which is improved to flint fire, and Chongzhen was successfully made by Bi Maokang in eight years.

Its construction and performance are not much different from those of the Bird, mainly due to the improved ignition mechanism and increased power.

Its benefits are obviously easier to see than arquebus, because there are many disadvantages to using arquebus.

In stormy weather, the gunpowder in the fire gate was either blown away by the wind or wet by the rain, so that it could not be fired. Sometimes it is misplaced prematurely before it is aimed well.

The impact flintlock pistol, the tap of the buckle machine is pressed down, and the fire is ignited by the friction with the flint due to the action of the spring.

In this way, not only did they overcome the difficulties caused by wind and rain in shooting, but they also did not need to press the faucet with their hands, so that the aiming was more accurate and they could be fired at any time.

The flintlock pistol is equipped with a flint automatic lighter device, which is not afraid of wind and rain and does not need to be ignited by the fire rope in advance, and the firing speed and accuracy are greatly improved.

However, before the advent of seamless steel pipes, flintlock pistols had a fatal flaw, because of their high power and large amount of gunpowder, they were very easy to explode.

This is also the reason why everyone knows the advantages of flintlock pistols, but the Ming soldiers abandon them.

"My lord, no problem."

All the craftsmen of the War Bureau have been carefully selected and skillful, so there is naturally no problem in making flintlock pistols.

Leaving Xu Jie in charge of managing the War Bureau, and waiting until the day of success to congratulate them, Qin Haoming left with his personal guards.

On a wide field in the west of Xuanfu City, hundreds of border people are enclosing each other, and the two corners are playing together.

The figure was stretched very long, Qin Haoming rode a high-headed horse and stepped on the figure of the remnant sun, and Sima Yinyu in the army, Qianhu Nianzi, and a group of personal guards accompanied him.

Xuanfu is a place of long-term war, the people are fierce, brave and ruthless, and it is the best source of soldiers.

Since Qin Haoming entered the Xuanfu, he has been recruiting troops and selecting generals for a long time, and has made announcements everywhere, and he wants to select Wu Chang, Xiaoqi, and those who are brave and strong from the ordinary people to serve as test hundreds.

The border passes of the Nine Lands moved when they heard the wind, and those who had the courage wanted to win a military position.

Ordinary people want to get ahead, and the military is a shortcut. If you can establish meritorious service on the battlefield and be awarded the rank of officer, wouldn't it be a matter of glory to your ancestors?

What's more, Qin Du's troops are very generous in terms of military salaries!

Qin Haoming rode his horse all the way and walked slowly, the people on the field gave way one after another, bowed down, Qin Haoming saw Ding Zhuangjiao arrive and stopped on the horse to watch, or nodded, or smiled, and continued to urge the horse forward.

The south has been peaceful for too long, the Ming soldiers are all wasted, and the people in the countryside are unbearable, so he plans to recruit 10,000 strong and bring them back to Fujian for training.

"Governor Qin, there are few people in the border town of Xuanfu, and some of the elites are selected by the cavalry, and the requirements of Governor Qin are high, so there are not many suitable candidates for the rest, unless those dock forts release people."

Seeing Qin Haoming, the mill was noncommittal, many people at the scene were strong and strong, but they were too old, and many people did not meet the requirements for being under the age of thirty.

"Oh, there's a dock fort close to it, let's see."

Qin Haoming suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

In the era of bandits and bandits, it is difficult to maintain stability and protect the people, especially in the border areas.

As a result, many families have built docks to protect themselves from thieves and rebels.

"Governor Qin, Pangjiabao is more than twenty miles away from Xuanfu, and it can be half an hour to ride quickly."

"Let's go!"

Pangjiabao is a famous dock fort in the Xuanfu area, with a population of 5,000 and 800 private soldiers.

Pang was originally a big landlord of the clan in Liaodong, during the Apocalypse, Jiannu often invaded, and the Pang clan patriarch led the clansmen and villagers from Liaodong to settle near Xuanfu.

In the past few years, they have recruited homeless people, half-plundered and half-cultivated, and gathered more than 3,000 homeless people, and more than 1,000 people can fight.

Its dock fort is composed of three square dock forts, which assist each other, and the scale is large, and it is one of the largest dock forts and great clans in Xuanfu.

The current suzerain, Pang Dehai, is over thirty years old, shrewd and capable, and his father was the head of the Xuanfu Yamen, and has a good relationship with the border town of Xuanfu.

Pang Dehai's father died early, and he did not take over his father's position and led the Pang family alone.

In the border of Xuanfu, the conquest is continuous, and it needs the support of a big family like Pang Zi, and Pang Zi also needs the help of the Xuanda army when he encounters the army of Jiannu to come to plunder.

After getting the news of the scouts one step ahead, Qin Haoming, the governor of Xuanda, wanted to visit and inspect the private soldiers of the Pang family.

Pang Dehai did not dare to slack off, and personally led 800 elite private soldiers to greet him outside the dock fort, and the army was cleaned up.

These private soldiers who have been in battle for a long time are much stronger than the county soldiers and guard soldiers who can only be robbed in Jiangnan, and the kind of soldiers who have experienced brutal battles have a fierce murderous aura.

Although it is silent, it has a compelling momentum.

Qin Haoming was overjoyed when he saw that the three dock forts of the Pang Clan were huge and strong, and their private soldiers were brave and brave.

These private soldiers are well-trained, with weapons and armor, and a slight supplement is sufficient. Once the army is formed, it has combat power. How many times less than recruiting a new army?

The only thing to worry about is that I am afraid that people will not agree, after all, I am defending my homeland.

Pang Dehai welcomed Qin Haoming, Yin Yuang, and Nianzi into the fort, and sat down in the main hall, Qin Haoming was the main seat, bringing tea and pastries, Pang Dehai lowered his head and said:

"I have heard the reputation of Qin Governor for a long time, and the small people are very admired. Today, Qin Governor Gui is insulted, I don't know what the small people can do? ”

Qin Haoming said: "This governor is here to recruit the private soldiers of the Pang patriarch and expand the Tianxiong army.

I have heard that the patriarch Pang is loyal, please let the children of the clan contribute to the country and establish meritorious deeds. ”

"Why did Governor Qin say this? Jiannu Koubian, Pangjiabao contributed people, and there was no shirk. In this troubled world, in the land of four wars, if there is no clan to protect the fort, it will be difficult for the Pang family to survive, please have mercy on Qin Du! ”

After listening to Qin Haoming's words, Pang Dehai's soul flew away, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded.

It's really a disaster, and this incident happens for no reason, how is it good?

"Patriarch Pang must not be like this, and how about listening to the words of this governor?"

Qin Haoming stood up and helped Pang Dehai up, smiled at him and said.
