Such a trivial matter as dividing the silver naturally does not need Wu Song, the county lieutenant, to come forward in person. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Thinking that Wu Kai had said that he would discuss the establishment of the militia today, he left Lin Dengwan and others here and took Luan Tingyu back to Wufu first.

It's just that the two of them go, but the scene is inevitably a little out of control, although the officials don't dare to rush up to grab the silver, but you are fighting for it, and you want to occupy a front position.

Cao Yang and Song Xiong stepped forward and scolded a few words, but how could anyone pay attention?

Shi Qian on the side saw so many officials competing for me, but he was happy to watch the drama - although he became the leader of the fast shift, he obviously did not have the consciousness of being an official at all times.

Bang~

There was a muffled sound, but Lin Dengwan stepped forward and buckled the lid of the box heavily, and then slapped the single knife on his waist on the box, and said angrily: "Be honest with me!" Since this silver has not been divided, it is the Buddha's thing, whoever dares to move it, I will cut him for the Buddha! ”

Although the officials didn't take him seriously, they saw him standing in the middle with his eyebrows crossed, and he was wearing a royal blue official uniform [in fact, this is not an official uniform, but a style customized by the local officials to distinguish their identities from those of the common people], and the officials retreated a little.

Cao Yang and Song Xiong also took the opportunity to step forward and scold repeatedly, and finally let them line up in two long lines in a regular manner, and then took the scissors and scales used to divide the silver, and began to distribute the silver one by one.

At this time, Lin Dengwan jumped out again, and when he forced all the officials to receive money, they must first thank the 'Buddha's grace'.

This was specially explained by Yu Xiu'er, telling him that if he got any benefits in the county government, he must remember to thank Wu Kai first, so that he would not be 'confused' and go out of business.

And Lin Dengwan pushed himself and others, thinking that these servants had gained the benefits of Wu Kai in vain, how could they do it without kowtowing and thanking him?

They don't say anything about how they divide the money here.

But it was said that Wu Song took Luan Tingyu back to the mansion, Luan Tingyu thanked Wu Kai for the reward first, and the three of them sat down separately.

First and foremost, of course, is the current Sangha Corps, or rather the Grenadier Corps.

Wu Kai is ready to break up all the monks and soldiers who have seen blood, leaving some of them as the core, and re-establish a firearms battalion tentatively of 50 people, and the other part as the backbone, and set up a new infantry battalion with a tentative number of 150 people.

Wu Song continued to command the firearms battalion, while Luan Tingyu was responsible for the formation and training of the regimental battalion, while Monk Huineng was separated and tentatively appointed as the logistics supervisor.

The number of large lifting rods that the firearms battalion has on hand should be increased to about 20 poles, so that the large lifting rods can be used for suppression in the medium and long distances, and the detonators should be used to provide continuous fire at close range.

In addition, Wu Kai was also going to try to make some Tiger Zun cannons, which were similar to the kind of artillery bombardment that Qi Jiguang used when he resisted the Japanese invaders.

This thing weighs about 20 kilograms, has a range of 500-1000 meters, and the size of the ammunition can be adjusted according to demand, and even the use of polished stones is not a problem, which belongs to the more mature artillery weapons in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that when Wu Kai used to make TV series, he didn't use this kind of Tiger Zun cannon - but the Eighth Route Army's unconscionable cannon used more.

However, in the case of a shortage of gunpowder, the practice of using explosives bags as shells for the unconscionable cannon is too extravagant, and the firing range and the large lifting rod overlap somewhat, so it is more suitable for the Huzun cannon.

In short, Wu Kai decided to wait for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival and start to study the production of the Huzun cannon - since it is a thing of the Ming Dynasty, the scientific and technological content will not be too high.

As for the infantry battalion, it was mainly composed of sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, the former was mainly used to cover the firearms battalion, and the latter was the main force of charging and sweeping.

The ratio between the two, as well as the training methods and combat methods, are all determined by Luan Tingyu, and Wu Kai is not ready to interfere, after all, he is familiar with the battles of the era of hot weapons, and he is a layman for fighting with cold weapons.

In addition to these two battalion leaders, Wu Kai originally planned to build a reconnaissance company.

However, after discussing with Wu Song and Luan Tingyu, it was decided to merge this reconnaissance company into the government service, patrolling and arresting bandits in peacetime, and being responsible for listening to the enemy in wartime.

Then it was divided into two types: scout and sentry cavalry, the former was temporarily led by Luan Tingyu, and the latter was handed over to Shi Qian - mainly because Shi Qian's riding skills were not good, and it was really reluctant for him to command the scout.

Because horses are a scarce resource, the number of scouts is tentatively set at 10-15, and the number of sentinels is tentatively set at 30-40.

As for the rest of the servants, on the basis of the original 30 people, Wu Kai is also ready to expand to 100 people, and they are usually divided into two groups, one group maintains law and order inside and outside the city, and the other group follows the infantry battalion for training and daily rotation, so that once it is necessary to replenish the soldiers, these officers are the best choice.

And these servants are temporarily led by Wu Song, if Lin Dengwan can show the ability to take charge of himself, he will be officially handed over to take over, if not, he will wait to find a suitable candidate, and then make plans.

In short, when the entire army expansion plan is completed, the number of men and horses that Wu Kai can use will suddenly increase from more than a dozen or twenty to about 350 people, so that even if the Liangshan thieves attack on a large scale, relying on the advantages of the city and firearms, they will definitely be able to win the battle.

However, this is only the initial stage of Wu Kai's plan.

His real goal is to expand the team to thousands of people, and then capture Shuibo Liangshan, where to build a sub-base, and move all the secrets that he can't see and don't want to expose to it!

Although in modern times, there is only a small puddle left near Naliang Mountain, but in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, there are really hundreds of miles of water, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention, there are still large paddy fields on several islands in the middle that can be developed, and it is not a problem to place thousands of people.

Of course, these are all later words, and the most important thing at the moment is to form a militia and lay a good foundation.

The structure, the selection of commanders, daily training, etc., were all discussed, but in the end, the three had some disagreements on the salaries of the militia group.

Wu Song and Luan Tingyu both felt that the salary and treatment given by Wu Kai were too high, and if they followed this amount, they were afraid that they would not be able to make ends meet in the future.

And Wu Kai felt that although he was whitewashed now, maybe he would have to go to the grass to become a coward, if he didn't feed his soldiers and horses at ordinary times, how many people would be willing to follow to be bandits and rogues?

Of course, in the face of Luan Tingyu, he would not say it so explicitly, but changed to another way: "Don't forget, what we want is elite soldiers!" People who practice once a day, or even several times a day, get the same salary and treatment as ordinary officers and soldiers, and over time, do you think they will be willing? As for the question of money, I don't need you to think about it, I have my own countermeasures! ”

So in the end, Wu Kaili overrode public opinion and insisted on setting a salary of three yuan per person per month for ordinary militiamen.

And plan to gradually improve the quality of the diet in the future, and eventually achieve meat for three meals a day - of course, this will have to wait for Wu Kai's pig farm plan to be formalized, otherwise Yanggu City will not be able to produce so much meat.
