Chapter 30 Expansion of the Security Corps
The two of them were overjoyed to hear that the team leader's salary was three taels a month, twice as high as that of ordinary team members, and it was thirty-six taels a year, saving a little, enough for the whole family of five to eat for two years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Captain, look at us! ......" said the two of them happily. After explaining some matters to the two of them, the two went out on a mission.
After arranging this, everyone began to discuss the expansion of the security team and the re-delivery to Ji'an Province.
In the city of Ji'an, Zhang Shigui, the owner of "Washle", and Qian Wancai, the owner of "Yongxiangzhai" in Yongxin County, were talking about the goods in Mingfeng Village being blocked and robbed halfway.
"Cousin, you can rest assured that Captain Zhao is a person, although your last goods were robbed, but I think he will have a way to deal with this matter, if you are worried that the goods are tight, afraid that there will be no goods to sell, you can go to me to pull some to sell, I will sell less......"
Hearing this, Zhang Shigui frowned slightly, and he said: "Cousin, it's not that my cousin doesn't have confidence, but that it is the middle section of Yongxin and Ji'an Mansion, the location is remote, there are many thieves, and they are masked to commit crimes, and the arrests in the two places can pass the buck to each other, this case is difficult to solve......"
Qian Wancai said: "Captain Zhao is a person who has seen the world, I think he will have a way......
"Alas, I hope Captain Zhao can find the thief soon, otherwise I will ...... my goods when they are sold out," Zhang Shigui said worriedly.
The news that Mingfeng Village was going to recruit security guards again spread happily, and the opportunity came again, and many people who didn't become security guards last time were excited, and the nearby villages began to talk about it again.
"Brother, the security team is recruiting again, I want to be a security guard!"
"Alas, go ahead, I heard that the treatment of the security team is very good, much better than farming, work hard, save some money, and marry a daughter-in-law......" A brother in Yangjia Village said.
"This big brother, how do you get to Mingfeng Village?" A few sweaty young men asked for directions.
"Oh...... You're here to work as a security guard too?? ā
"Yes...... The eldest brother also went to work as a security guard......"
"Of course...... Come with me......"
When the news of the expansion of the security team came out, many young people who loved to dance with guns and sticks poured into Mingfeng Village, and after some assessment, many strong young people entered the security team as they wished.
The expanded security team was organized into a squadron directly under the organization, two spear squadrons, a bow and crossbow squadron, a scout squadron, and a baggage squadron. There were 80 men in the squadron directly under it, equipped with Lu Mi guns, two spear squadrons of 120 men each, a bow and crossbow squadron of 100 people, a scout squad of 30 people, and a baggage squad of 50 people. The captain of the squadron directly under him is Zhao Guohua, the deputy captain Zhang Shun, the captain of the first squadron of the spear Sun You, the deputy captain Hu Dahai, Hu Dahai is from Niujia Village, 25 years old this year, he turned out to be a squad leader, and he dared to fight in the last battle to protect the goods, and this time he was promoted to the deputy squadron leader of the first squadron of the spear, the captain of the second squadron was Zhang Chong, and the deputy squadron leader was Li Ming, Li Ming is a child of a military family, and he is also twenty-five years old this year, the leader of the bow and crossbow squadron is Liu Zhongzheng, and the deputy captain is undecided.
After the team was reorganized, the new team members took a shower, changed into the blue and black uniforms of the security team, and stood neatly under the platform set up by the wooden planks under the leadership of the old team members.
Looking at the more players standing in the audience than last time, Zhao Guohua was very excited, he said loudly: "Brothers, ......" shouted out, and many poor children in the audience who were excited to put on beautiful security uniforms for the first time "buzzed" The voice disappeared under the reminder of the old team members, and everyone looked up at Zhao Guohua on the stage together.
"Today is a good day for our security team, from today onwards, there are many new brothers who have joined the security team, some time ago, although our security team suffered some setbacks, but today we stand up again, and become more powerful than before, our security team is not a soft persimmon, will not be bullied, we will not let go of the sneak attack on our people, I ask you to train hard, improve your skills as soon as possible, once you find out who is behind the scenes, eliminate them. If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend, but if anyone offends me, I will offend. Zhao Guohua said, shouting.
"If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, if people offend me, I will offend people......" The new and old team members at the bottom also chanted.
After speaking, Zhao Guohua called the squadron leaders and deputy captains of several squadrons to the stage, met with everyone, and made a brief self-introduction, each said a few words, and then began training with their respective teams.
Seeing that the team members began training, Zhao Guohua walked through several squadrons, then returned to the team headquarters on the side of the playground, took out a Lu Mi gun and looked at it carefully, Lu Mi Gong is a kind of arquebus invented by Zhao Shizhen, a firearms developer in the Ming Dynasty, and the prototype is an arquebus paid tribute by the Turkish Rumi State (Ottoman Empire). In 1598 (the twenty-sixth year of Wanli), Zhao Shizhen asked the envoy of Lumi Guo Duo Sima for advice on the structure and production method of Lumi musket, which was improved and made into "Lumi gun".
After reading Lu Miquan, he took out Bi Maokang's handwritten operation method and looked at it. The more you look at it, the more cumbersome it feels: first of all, pour out a part of the gunpowder from the gunpowder canister and put it in the middle and back of the barrel, hold down the gunpowder with your index finger to prevent it from dispersing, fill it with enough gunpowder, then tamp it with a small wooden stick, and then buckle the gunpowder cover, and then turn the gun slightly sideways with your left hand to make the fire eye upward, and gently knock it with your right hand to make the fuse enter the eye and connect with the gunpowder in the barrel. Then take the lead bullet from the muzzle of the gun, use a little cotton paper, and send it into the medicine prescription with a cane, and the lead bullet must be hard stuffed in, and the hard stuff is accurate to hit. If buckshot slides in the barrel, it is useless. After loading the gunpowder and lead bullet, hold the gun on the top of the support hand, put the tail on the leg, take the fire rope with the right hand, blow off the ashes first, and clamp it into the faucet.
Place the fire rope properly, stand on the front foot, kneel on the back foot, raise the gun, hold the hand in the left hand, knees on the knuckle of the arm, clamp the armpit tightly at the back tail, close the left eye, look at the door behind with the right eye, shine at the star, close the breath, aim at the enemy, and then pinch the machine.
The shooting process of the above-mentioned Lu Mi gun was too cumbersome, and Zhao Guohua was dizzy when he saw it, and decided to transform it in his heart, such as using fixed gunpowder, such as using granular gunpowder, and making lead bullets into bullets and loading them in the barrel, which can be done after experiments.
"Alas, it's so hard to adapt to the guns of later generations, and then to use the firearms of more than 300 years ago, just like getting used to taking the high-speed train to ride the ox cart......" Zhao Guohua said to himself. He intended to make granular gunpowder himself.
Gunpowder, also known as black powder, is made by mechanically mixing potassium nitrate, charcoal, and sulfur. It is a substance that can burn rapidly and regularly under the action of appropriate external energy, and at the same time generate a large amount of high-temperature gas. In the military, it is mainly used as the ****** of guns and shells, and the propellant and other driving devices of rockets and missiles, and is an important part of ammunition. Gunpowder is one of the four great inventions of China, and it also changed the history of human warfare.
Gunpowder was invented by ancient Chinese alchemists, who refined elixir in order to achieve immortality, which eventually led to the invention of gunpowder. After the invention of gunpowder, it was used as medicine. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is mentioned that gunpowder can cure sores and ringworms, kill insects, and dispel dampness and plague. Although they mastered certain chemical methods, their direction was to seek the elixir of immortality, so the invention of gunpowder had a certain degree of chance.
Gunpowder could not solve the problem of immortality, and it was easy to catch fire, so the alchemists were not interested in him. The formula of gunpowder was transferred from the alchemist to the military strategist, and it became one of the four great inventions of ancient China, black gunpowder.
Besides, after the three leaders Lu Qing went down the mountain, they went to Ji'an Mansion and Yongxin County respectively to learn about the sales prices of soap and shampoo, and then opened a room in the Sihai Restaurant in Yongxin County, and then sent a little minion to Yang Mansion to find Master Yang.
Coming to the gate of the Yang Mansion, the little minion said to the two housekeepers in black clothes and servant hats standing at the door; "Go in and tell your master, just say that my old friend Zhang San is waiting for him on the third floor of Sihai Restaurant to talk about a business." After that, he left.
The two housekeepers originally wanted to knock on some small money to spend, but after they finished speaking, they left, looking indifferent, seeing this, they looked at each other, and one of the poor housekeepers ran in to report.
"Zhang San? Why hasn't this person heard of it? Yang Rui Yang Yang Young Master muttered, and Steward Yang stood in front of the eldest young master and was also thinking about who this person was. Thinking about it, Steward Yang's heart lit up, ah! It turned out that he had arrived.
Seeing Steward Yang's happy look, Yang Rui said, "Butler, do you know who he is?" Steward Yang leaned in and muttered in Yang Rui's ear......
"Oh, he's coming...... Let's go and see him......" As he spoke, the master and servant headed towards the Four Seas Restaurant.
In a window room in the Four Seas Restaurant, the three leaders Lu Qing negotiated with Yang Rui on behalf of Qinglongzhai the price of the goods that were robbed by Qinglongzhai, Yang Rui invested 15,000 taels of silver to buy the goods, and Qinglongzhai was responsible for transporting the goods to Yang Rui's shop in batches.
After talking about things, and drinking another meal of wine to celebrate the victory, Yang Rui and Steward Yang left, Lu Qing arranged for the two little minions to live in the restaurant, and then went to the Qinglou under the pretext of collecting intelligence.
After dawn, he returned to the restaurant, and Lu Qing took the two little minions back to the mountain.
At noon that day, Wang Zhutou went to find Chen Dafa, the owner of the tailor shop in Yongxin County, to drink, and the tailor shop guy saw that he was coming, and hurriedly and enthusiastically led him to the reception room behind the store. "Brother, you haven't been here for a few days, come on, sit down and have a cup of tea, and when I'm done with this little bit of work, let's go out and have two cups."
"These clothes seem to be the clothes of the security team of Mingfeng Village." Wang Zhutou looked at the clothes and said that he had seen the clothes of the security team.
"Brother is right, this is the training uniform of the security team." Boss Chen Dafa said with a smile.
Wang Zhutou listened, walked over and took a closer look, and said with a smile: "Why are there so many clothes, it seems that there are four or five hundred pieces of clothes, and there are more than 100 people in the security team, and they are wearing so many clothes?" ā
