"My lord, this is not cruel."

When the cannon was assembled and filled, Bai Wenlu spent a lot of time watching the results with a clairvoyant mirror.

The results of the battle were very brilliant, and the pipe and band of this car and artillery battalion were very satisfied. It's just training, and I haven't really been on the battlefield, and the effect of continuous firing is very obvious.

The artillery crew not only hit the first shot, but also clearly calculated the time of the opponent's reaction and the speed of the horse's escape, and the landing point of the second shot was also very accurate, hitting some clever ghosts who fled very quickly.

As a pure martial artist, Bai Wenlu does not have the compassion of Gong Dingyu, the scene on the opposite side makes him feel extremely happy, and he inadvertently indulges, he unceremoniously retorted Gong Dingyu and said: "These beasts are all sentry scouts in the Tartars, every time they attack, they take the lead, killing people and robbing women, which one of them owes us a blood debt to the Han people, whether they are in Liaodong or in Gyeonggi, or Shandong, anyway, we ask for all the Han compatriots together!" ”

The education of the New Army was very successful, China was one, all Han people were compatriots, and the hatred of the country and family was not only the imperial court, but also the belief of every Han person himself had been instilled in the hearts of every officer and soldier of the New Army.

This is not like before, when Shandong people heard that Jifu was robbed, they felt that it was another world, and it was none of their business.

Ordinary peasants have no good impression of the imperial court and are full of fear of the government, how can such a person have the idea of family and country, how can he hate foreign races thousands of miles away?

Only by educating them to know that any finger wounded by the Han people in Liaodong is like cutting off the arm of the Han people in Huai'an, which can inspire faith and hatred for the enemy.

This education is not only in ordinary soldiers, but also in all officers, of course, even scribes like Gong Dingyu are also greatly affected.

At least, half a year ago, Gong Dingyu didn't even feel anything.

In the hearts of the scholars, there is no immortal country, and there is no dynasty that will not be replaced, so there is no need to hold on to the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Gong Dingyu also knew very well that if he died in the Qing Dynasty, he would die in the world.

Huaxia already has the pain of cliffs and mountains, and there must not be a second time.

Because he also had this understanding, Gong Dingyu nodded silently, not caring about this middle-level military attaché's offense to him.

However, Bai Wenlu realized his gaffe, and quickly turned his head and secretly stuck out his tongue.

At this time, several artillery crews had already finished loading the third shell, and the muzzle of the cannon had been fine-tuned again, and this time it was raised a lot.

The Qing army that was beaten with a dog's blood has turned around, there are two or three hundred scouts on the entire front, and the largest two strands that have just gathered together have been wiped out by more than half of the two rounds of shells, and the battlefield is full of dead people and dead horses, such casualties even the eight banners that have been in the war for a long time can't help it, many Qing soldiers discarded the weapons in their hands, and the whole person lay on the horse, desperately whipping, just to escape faster.

"Release, release!" Zhao Jiyuan half-closed his eyes, waved his hand again and again, and ordered the artillery crew to fire immediately.

The last round of artillery was also fired, and this time it was the fleeing enemy who was running quickly, and although the shells landed well, the damage was very limited.

Even so, the results were quite impressive.

The officers and men of the entire artillery battalion and the baggage battalion were boiling. The soldiers of the vehicle artillery battalion and the auxiliary soldiers of the baggage battalion all ran over and gathered around the artillery group, sometimes looking at the smoke-emitting cannons, sometimes at the busy artillery crew, and finally at the situation on the battlefield...... Either side is so brilliant that they can't even see it.

A group of Franc gunners are spitting fire in their eyes!

"Look at them, look at them, look at them!"

A young soldier who didn't seem to be even twenty years old, with only a shallow layer of fluff on his lips, was full of grievances: "Our cannon is only the size of a fist, look at other people's muzzles, look at other people's shells, can explode by themselves in mid-air, how many people must be killed!" Our cannon, hmph, let's also call it a cannon! ”

Speaking of which, the car artillery battalion was indeed established before the cannon casting, and it was an expedient measure at that time, in order to take into account that the Pingyu army might be forced to fight, or to meet the unknown enemy, so Zhu Cihong first formed this battalion under the material conditions at that time.

"Three babies, don't worry."

A veteran with the marks of sergeant major and shed captain on his cuffs said with a smile: "After this battle, do you think we still use these guys?" After returning to Qingjiang, they were all reequipped as soon as possible, and all the large vehicles and small artillery of the car and artillery battalion belonged to the local garrison battalion. ”

"Really?"

"Of course really, can I still talk nonsense?" The veteran was very displeased and reprimanded: "Don't just look at other people's cannons, but also look at the hard work of other people's food?" Look at the shabu chamber, on such a cold day, the forehead is already hot after three shots, and the gown is off, if dozens of rounds are fired, what do you think they look like? The small soldiers of the artillery crew are paid the same as us, it used to be five taels a month, but now it has been changed to twelve silver dollars a month, and this salary is not a loss, we have to think about the right salary of the prince, and we will have to make a good example for a while. ”

"That's it!" Someone agreed: "Killing so many with a small cannon, this is the right thing to call His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

"That's right!"

"We'll see you later!"

"With such a high salary, if you don't fight well, you will be ashamed to die, and you will have no face to go down to see your ancestors when you die!"

The so-called layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the trouble, the training method of the car artillery battalion is the same as that of the serious artillery battalion, and the salary is also about the same, although the weapons are admitted that they are inferior to others, but many veterans in this battalion are not convinced.

It's a mule or a horse, and you have to pull it out for a while.

I want to ask someone to see if the man in the car artillery battalion is worth it with a salary of 12 yuan a month!

These sincere men, the gratitude to Zhu Cihong in their hearts, the recognition of the Pingyu Army and the strong sense of honor are stirring in their hearts, and at this time, they can't wait to drive out of the camp immediately, and only after shelling all the enemies in front of them to death, can they be happy!

After the official introduction of the silver dollar, the new army's salary was changed again, and the ordinary infantry soldiers were eight yuan, and the artillery battalion was twelve yuan a month, and as for the cavalry, because of the successive bloody battles and great meritorious service, all of them have been changed to fourteen yuan a month.

Of course, this is a regular item when I was stationed in the camp in peacetime, and I received a battle, as well as battlefield allowances, meritorious service, a reward for silver, and an injury, and of course the medical treatment was an official bag, and if I was disabled, I still received my salary as usual every month.

These spirits were also transmitted from Qingjiang on the eve of the war, and all the battalions under the Pinglu Army were greatly boosted, and although Xuzhen and Shandong Town also had rewards, they could not always be high, and the entire local military town was also breathing fire in its eyes, and it was bent on making an appearance, and it was said that it would be returned to the establishment of the field army.

The prince governs the army, and the rewards and punishments have always been clear, so no matter which military town does not doubt that there will be merit or not, and the army is divided into several levels, but the road of continuous advancement, and the fight is good, it will be transferred from the local to the Pingyu army system, and this layer of meaning is also clearly conveyed.

Therefore, all the towns and cities are willing to fight better, so the morale is getting higher and higher.

However, many of the civilian officials in the battalion felt that the salaries were too high, and there were more than 100,000 regular officers and soldiers in the battalion and in various towns, and the salaries and silver received by the auxiliary soldiers were not much less than those of the officers and soldiers in Liaodong.

But these people naturally don't know that at this time in the late Ming Dynasty, silver poured in, prices skyrocketed, and inflation could not be compared with before. Zhu Cihong made a large amount of military salaries, and wanted to eliminate the broken silver on the market with silver dollars, put an end to fire consumption and waste, and promote circulation.

Moreover, the salary level at this time was the same as that of the Hunan army in later generations, and Zhu Cihong did not think it was high at all.

He thinks so, but ordinary officers and soldiers, who have worked hard for the past year, can leave a few dimes of broken silver and a few strings of copper coins is an eye-opener, the wind and rain are smooth, and the family members are not sick or have major weddings and funerals.

At this time, the monthly salary was enough to cover the income of the whole family in the field for a year, and at the end of the year, even the former small landlords and rich peasants were far inferior.

Ordinary officials and servants do not have such a high annual income.

And that's just a serious salary, not counting all kinds of other income! In this way, how can the morale not be high!

………… The rumbling sound of the cannon also alarmed the Chinese army, and looking at the direction of the cannon with a clairvoyant mirror from a high place, Sun Chuanting nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied. The use of artillery fire to drive away the rangers was a better thing to do yesterday, and it seems that the effect is excellent at this time.

The more Sun Chuanting encountered major events, he was calm in his heart. Today is the period of the Great War, and he made careful arrangements, issuing nearly 100 military orders in one day, and arranging everything that he could think of and arranged.

In the evening, he summoned a few of the guests, and according to the old custom, wrote the fighting recipe, drank wine, and waited for the shift before they dispersed. In this way, there is naturally a calming thought, and the big war is imminent, and all the battalions are quiet and safe, which is the effect of their own commander.

In the morning, the battalions were preparing to attack, such a large battlefield, so many battalion heads, it would take a long time to prepare for the work, and at this time, many battalion leaders were still in chaos, and many soldiers were still standing in place, waiting for the auxiliary soldiers behind to come up and help tie their armor.

At this time, the commander will be able to see which general can lead the troops, restrain his subordinates, and do better than usual in an emergency.

A real celebrity is not necessarily good, just like a person who usually talks about it, if he really asks him, he may be speechless. A person who usually coaxes cowhides, before going to the battlefield, he is in chaos.

And Sun Chuanting can still stand on a high place at this time, observing the surroundings in an orderly manner, at this moment, he can be a qualified commander.
