Chapter 564: The Musket is Born
Next, including Pan Long, the three of them drank in the dark and unconscious.
The appointment of the officials arrived half a month later, and Qin sent here to hand over the Great Seal of Guan Fang to Pan Song.
After Luo Yi learned about the snowy region, he was extremely relieved of Pan Song, and allowed on the spot that the Pan clan could recruit soldiers to suppress the small gangsters in various places, and the number was set at 20,000, and as for the supply of grain and grass, it was all supplied by Longxi.
In a place like the Snowy Domain, there are 20,000 Snowy Iron Horsemen, which is very powerful, enough to suppress everything.
Because Pan Song's iron cavalry is supported by Longxi, weapons, grain and grass are supplied by Longxi, and if other tribes want to rebel, without weapons, grain and grass, everything is in vain.
After a few days in the snowy region, 5,000 people set off again, preparing to return to Longxi.
Pan Long said goodbye to his people one by one and set foot on the way back.
Five thousand people left the snowy region and ran fast ...
From the snowy region to Longxi, the road is still very long, more than 1,600 miles, even if the iron horse is fast, it will take four or five days to stop halfway.
But in order to train the iron horse, along the way, Luo Yi created many obstacles for 5,000 people, such as more than a dozen giant trees, stones, etc., for everyone to cross.
While walking, while training, after such a while, I knew that after half a month, I arrived in Longxi.
Calculating the time, it has been more than two months from leaving Longxi to the snowy region and then coming back from the snowy region.
At this point, it's autumn. It's the harvest season again, but Luo Yi never pays attention to internal affairs, and all of them are lost to the officials of the six ministries, including Zhang Wancheng, Wang Youcheng, etc., and these trivial matters can be handled cleanly.
His mission is to train this special army!
On this day, Luo Yi called Zhao Wenyong to the study.
Zhao Wenyong knew that Luo Yi called him here, it must be for the matter of muskets, he had promised to make 5,000 muskets within three months, and now that the three-month period has arrived, it is time to have an explanation.
"Wen Yong, three months ago, you promised to make five thousand muskets, and now it's three months, but it's done?" In the study, Luo Yi sat in his seat, took a sip of tea, and asked.
Zhao Wenyong stood in front of him and arched his hand: "Lord, in the past three months, my subordinates have been in a hurry, using a lot of resources and manpower in Longxi, but now... Still couldn't make it in time. ”
"How many are there now?"
"There's... Only four thousand. But don't worry, give me another half a month, and I will definitely make up the remaining 1,000. ”
Hearing that there were four thousand muskets, Luo Yi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Wen Yong, you have been fortunate during this time. ”
"Four thousand, that's enough!"
According to the new army structure, only four regiments needed muskets, and the remaining one regiment mainly trained iron cavalry. Of course, guns will be used in the future, but not now.
e
"Huh? That's enough? Didn't you say five thousand? Zhao Wenyong was first happy, and then puzzled.
Luo Yi said: "Muskets, naturally the more the better, but now the new army doesn't need so many, four thousand is enough, after you go back, let the people of the Academy of Science and Technology have a good rest, and then work after a while." ”
"Oh yes, wait and go to the household department, receive 5,000 taels of silver, and distribute it, it is a reward, so that the officials and workers below can have a good meal and celebrate their efforts."
"Thank you, Lord." Zhao Wenyong looked overjoyed. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief, just for the sake of the four thousand muskets, he just didn't get a good night's sleep, let alone a good meal.
"Well, you go down, early tomorrow morning, remember to transport all the muskets, along with gunpowder, to the South School Yard."
Luo Yi waved his hand.
Zhao Wenyong was puzzled: "Lord, shouldn't it be in the North School Field?" ”
Luo Yi said: "From tomorrow, our new army will be stationed in the south campus. ”
"After the muskets and gunpowder are delivered to the school grounds, they can be put in the warehouse."
"No."
*********
In the early morning, the golden sunlight rises from the sky and shines through the cracks in the windows.
Luo Yi woke up from her sleep, and as soon as she moved, she saw Wang Yan lying on her chest.
"Yan'er?"
"Husband, are you awake?" Wang Yan opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
Luo Yi hugged Wang Yan and said with a smile: "I remember, I was drinking with Pan Long last night, why did I end here?" You captured me, didn't you? Did you miss me? ”
Among several wives, Luo Yi's favorite is Wang Yan, although he is busy with official business, as long as there is a gap, he will go to Wang Yan's residence.
"What's the matter, Pan Long sent you here, so I don't want you." As she spoke, her cheeks turned red, like a ripe apple.
Luo Yi laughed: "It's all old husbands and wives, what else is there to be embarrassed about." ”
After speaking, Luo Yi got up, Wang Yan dressed him and combed his hair, and took the jade crown with him.
After cleaning up, Luo Yi said: "Yan'er, I'll go and get busy first, and I'll come back in the evening." ”
"Hmm."
Watching Luo Yi leave the yard, Wang Yan returned to the house.
After Luo Yi left the courtyard, he took Pan Long directly to the south campus.
As early as yesterday evening, he had ordered 5,000 members of the new army to be stationed in the south school field.
The south school field, compared with the north school field, is of course much smaller, it is said that it used to be just a theater garden, but later expanded, can accommodate more than 10,000 people.
When I came to the gate of the South Campus, I looked up and saw that the plaques on the South Campus were rotten, and Luo Yi said: "Pan Long, when you have time, tell the Ministry of Engineering to repair the South Campus." ”
"Yes."
Entering the camp, 5,000 people had already gathered, standing under the shuai platform, waiting for Luo Yi's lecture.
Wu Qing, Dong Fan, Cao Su, Lin Feng, Zang Ba, the five regiment commanders stood at the front, and behind them were 5,000 new troops, standing solemnly.
After more than 1,000 miles of training, they seem to have grown up, and after standing in line training before, they are now standing on the school ground, which really looks like a modern army.
It's all camouflage uniforms, and I'm almost carrying a gun.
After Luo Yi came in, he directly asked the accompanying guards to go to the warehouse to fetch the muskets and stack them in front of the handsome platform.
Everyone was very curious about this new species, and they had never seen it before.
As soon as Luo Yi walked to the handsome platform, Wu Qing, the commander of the first regiment, asked, "Lord, what is this?" Why is it so strange? ”
Luo Yi smiled and said, "This is your weapon." From today onwards, you must familiarize yourself with your weapons, practice your skills, and rely on this to kill the enemy in the future. ”
However, when several regiment commanders saw that the musket did not even have a blade, how could they kill the enemy?
In their impression, whether it is killing pigs or cows, they have to use knives, and only sharp weapons can hurt people.
Dong Fan, the commander of the second regiment, asked: "General, these weapons don't even have a blade, how can they hit the enemy?" ”
Cao Su, the commander of the third regiment, also said: "Yes, then this broken stick is beaten with other people's long knives, then aren't we dead?" ”
Lin Feng didn't speak, waiting for Luo Yi to explain.
Luo Yi laughed, held a musket in his hand, filled it with some granule gunpowder, then raised the gun, aimed it at a tree in the distance, and pulled the trigger: "Smack!" ”
I heard a loud bang, and the branches in the distance were broken off on the spot, and a large number of leaves fell from the book. [.]
