Chapter 25 Passing on the Widow's Will
"What Da Sima said is extremely true, for such rebellious ministers and thieves, they must be suppressed by thunderous means!"
King Qin didn't seem to know the filth in Qin Sen's heart, and followed Da Sima's words to close the coffin.
"Spread the widow's will, the former marquis Du Sheng killed the court officials, privately set up a public court to disregard people's lives, and privately cast swords and soldiers to plot rebellion...... Now abolish his hereditary marquis position, and order Lingnan County Warden Chen Zicong to immediately arrest him and a group of family members, and if there is resistance, kill him! ”
King Qin announced in a loud voice with a sinking face.
"No!"
The clerk, who was kneeling on the left side of the main hall, respectfully agreed, and immediately wrote the decree.
The ministers below bowed down and praised at the same time: "The king is wise! ”
Du Sheng, who was far away in Ninghai, didn't know that the imperial court had made a decision, and even the news that he secretly bought grain and pig iron in Jubaolou had already leaked out.
At this time, he was carrying a thunder gun and personally training a hundred Suzaku guards.
"You should treat the gun as an extension of your own body, and use your heart to sense its existence. When shooting, you must have steady hands, accurate eyes, and ruthless hearts, and you must not hesitate in the slightest! ”
Du Sheng carried the gun and explained loudly, and walked in front of the Suzaku guards who were practicing one by one, correcting their standing posture from time to time.
"Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! You've all seen the power of the Thunder Gun, and in ten days half of you will have your own Thunder Gun. The ten people with the worst training results, Ben Hou will kick you out without hesitation, and Suzaku Wei will not raise waste! ”
Du Sheng's eyes swept over everyone's face like a knife, and everyone he saw subconsciously straightened his waist and held the wooden stick used to imitate a spear in his hand harder.
The thunder spear is still being cast day and night, and Suzaku Wei's drill is naturally replaced by wooden sticks.
The biggest difference from the previous days is that a ten-pound water bag is hung at the end of the wooden stick in each person's hand.
These former elites of the Dragon Flame Army were all clenching their teeth at this time, their eyes looking straight ahead, trying not to let their hands tremble.
After persisting like this for a full hour, Du Sheng shouted: "Assemble!" ”
As soon as he gave the order, everyone immediately put away their water bags and stood in four rows with guns in their hands, with twenty-five people in each row, and the time before and after added up to no more than ten seconds.
Du Sheng bowed his head slightly in satisfaction, after a few days of practice, these people had completely memorized and adapted to some of his basic instructions.
"Volley!"
At the command, one hundred Suzaku guards quickly stood in disposition, and at the same time raised their wooden sticks and simulated shooting according to each step of the actual shooting.
"Toothless old women move much faster than you! After practicing for so long, have you refined it to a dog! ”
Du Sheng silently calculated the time in his heart, from the time his order was given to the completion of the shooting action, there were about five breaths.
If you count it by the number of seconds he is used to, it is about ten seconds.
"Come again!"
"Stand upright!"
Du Sheng shouted in an expressionless voice.
Everyone quickly put away their guns and stood upright, and a few people moved a little slower, and Du Sheng rushed over with a kick.
Once he arrived at the drill ground, he was no longer the Marquis of Zhenguo, but the naval major who had not been kicked out of the army in his previous life.
In his previous life, when Du Sheng led the troops, he was known for his strictness, and the thorn head could not stay under his hands for three days, and the custody became more obedient than anyone else.
"Reload!"
"Volley!"
"Stand upright!"
"Reload!"
"Volley!"
Du Sheng repeated the instructions over and over again, and once someone slowed down by half a beat or made a mistake, they were greeted by either Du Sheng's punches and kicks or loud roars.
Of course, he was very measured, just to make these rough-skinned guys grin in pain, and he would never really hurt them.
As you get acquainted, adjusted, and run in over and over again, the action of the salvo becomes more and more neat, and the time is getting shorter and shorter.
During the break, Du Sheng sat among them without half a minute, explaining to them the precautions of being a musketeer, the emergencies that may be encountered, and the countermeasures.
In the next few days, in addition to personally supervising the progress of the thunder gun and bullets, Du Sheng basically spent the rest of the time on the training ground, until Suzaku Wei was familiar with the most commonly used shooting formations, and he asked Xu Fan, a hundred households selected in the drill, to preside over the drill.
Of course, Du Sheng didn't put all his thoughts on Suzaku Wei. Qinglongwei also put a lot of thought into it, and the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei that he knew was basically handed over to them.
At the same time, Du Sheng also taught Qinglongwei to count with Arabic numerals, as well as to use some simple ciphers.
These guys used to be the thorns of the Dragon Flame Army, and Du Sheng didn't need to worry about his killing skills and temperament.
"Fauber, how is that going?"
In the study, Du Sheng rubbed his temples slightly tiredly, looked at Fu Bo and asked.
"The old slave has secretly contacted several big tooth shops in the county town, natural disasters and man-made disasters have occurred from time to time this year, and the tooth shops are very good at business, and those few have said that there are a lot of goods in hand."
Fauber replied truthfully.
"Well, find a time to visit the county town. The other counties were to be secretly liaison, with twelve of the best ages and of no disabled and intelligent children, half male and half female, and the first batch of five hundred. ”
Du Sheng nodded clearly, paused and continued.
"No!"
Fu Bo agreed, took the five thousand taels of silver tickets handed over by Du Sheng, and respectfully withdrew.
"The lineage that I have personally cultivated will be more assured when I use it in the future."
Du Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and whispered to himself thoughtfully.
Whether it was the Vermilion Bird Guard or the Green Dragon Guard, they were all directly selected from the Dragon Flame Army, and although these people were loyal to him, Du Sheng also believed that they would not betray him.
But most of these people have wives and children, and they all have their own bonds. And whether it is their personality or way of thinking, they have been completely stereotyped.
Buy a new batch of orphans who have no father and mother, and have good qualifications, and come back to train them personally, and he can train those orphans into the most loyal elites according to his needs.
Many of Du Sheng's follow-up plans must be completed with a group of henchmen who can keep up with his ideas and are absolutely loyal.
Although the current Suzaku Guard is not weak, what if their wives and children are controlled by the enemy?
Orphans secretly bought from all over the Qin State would never have such a hidden danger.
"Imperial court! King Qin! Hehe......"
Du Sheng looked at the dark night sky outside the window and smiled silently, with a faint disdain and coldness in his eyes.
As long as he was given enough time, Du Sheng would definitely let the high king know that in his eyes, the so-called king of a country was nothing more than that.
