"Sui... Flintlock pistols? ”

Zhou Laohuo obviously didn't understand what the flintlock pistol in Pei Yan's mouth was, so he stuttered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This flintlock pistol was made by the old court craftsman of the small pavilion, and it can be regarded as an upgraded version of the firecracker."

Pei Yan explained unhurriedly: "Compared with the firecracker, the flintlock pistol is more convenient to use, and it is easy to achieve a salvo in formation. As for the power, you just saw it. ”

Zhou Laohuo even claimed that those widows were extremely vicious masters, and they had no power to fight back in the face of the volley of flintlock pistols, this thing was really powerful.

As for the new army, he had only heard of it, and it seemed that it was also the idea of this red-red little Xie Ge Lao.

Now it seems that the purpose of forming a new army is to learn to use this flintlock pistol, right?

"Pei Qianhu, there is a sentence that I don't know if to say or not......"

Pei Yan waved his hand and said: "Our generals don't have so many rules, if there is anything to talk about or not, you can just ask." ”

"Yes."

Zhou Laohuo swallowed and spitted at the mouth: "After the imperial court forms a new army, will we, the officers and soldiers of the guard, have to be abolished?" ”

Pei Yan laughed. He also thought that Zhou Laohuo was going to ask some question, but it turned out to be this......

It's not hard to understand that people always think about themselves. In fact, Pei Yan is also a professional soldier, and he doesn't want to see the officers and soldiers of the guard station abolished, but he really doesn't know what Xiao Ge Lao thinks in his heart, he can't be a guarantee.

"This old brother and relax. There are so many health centers in the country, how can they all be abolished overnight. Besides, even if the imperial court really wants to dismiss the officers and soldiers of the guard, it will definitely give the brothers an explanation, and it is impossible to ignore the brothers. ”

Zhou Laohuo was a little settled in his heart. The guard system of the Ming Dynasty imitated the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the military households farmed their own land to support themselves on weekdays. The Ming Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time, and the military households have naturally not gone into battle to kill the enemy for a long time. In addition to fighting and killing, the old fire of all kinds of land and Zhou couldn't think of anything else that the brothers could do.

If the imperial court really eliminated the guards and soldiers, perhaps the brothers would have starved to death. After all, the land is not owned by the officers and soldiers of the guard, they only have the right to use it, and if they leave the guard, what reason do they have to continue to use the land?

"Pei Qianhu knows that the Japanese are coming to Nanqiao Wharf, right?"

Zhou Laohuo's words changed, and then turned to the attack of the Japanese invaders.

"This... The same can be said. ”

Pei Yan sighed and said: "Lord Futai released the news that there is a batch of Gongbu in Songjiang to be escorted into Beijing as scheduled. It's just to seduce the Japanese to go out. We had already laid an ambush near the Nanqiao Pier, and we were waiting for the Japanese to throw themselves into the net. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Laohuo's heart was slightly unhappy.

Did the newly arrived Futai Lord use them as bait? Although there are heavy troops in ambush near the Nanqiao Pier, the swords are not long-sighted, and who can guarantee their safety if they really fight.

Fang is just one line away from the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides, and if Pei Yan's new army appears a moment later, I am afraid that many brothers will have to see blood.

Of course, he knew that Lord Futai had done everything he could, but the feeling of being used as bait still made Zhou Lao angry in his throat.

Pei Yan seemed to see what Zhou Laohuo was thinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Zhou, we soldiers have to be a little responsible, and it is inevitable to make some sacrifices in order to exterminate the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhou Laohuo's expression darkened, he knew that some things were inevitable. A person of his status can't ask for too much, as long as the court doesn't completely abandon them, it's acceptable.

......

When the news of the new army led by Pei Yan beheading more than 100 Japanese invaders reached Songjiang Mansion, the people of the whole city cheered. In their impression, the officers and soldiers have always been beaten by the Japanese and the pirates, but today they actually changed their declining situation and killed more than 100 of them.

The people on the southeast coast don't know the ferocity of the pirates, but if the government is not tough, they can't be tough.

Now, His Majesty the Emperor ordered Wang Shouren, the governor of Nanzhili, to preside over the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war, and it seems that he is going to fight against the Japanese to the end.

As long as the court has determination and the government has ambition, it will not be able to extinguish the Japanese invaders.

After all, the size of the Ming Dynasty is there, and it is not comparable to a few thousand widows.

Wang Shouren met Pei Yan at Yamen. He had met Pei Yan several times when he was in Shaoxing, and the two also had some personal friendship because of Xie Shen.

Therefore, when the new army was mobilized to come to Songjiang Mansion, Wang Shouren did not hesitate to choose Pei Yan, the former Shaoxing Thousand Households.

This Qianhu has been promoted to the new army instructor, and no one is more suitable than him when it comes to commanding the new army.

Xie Shen also instructed Wang Shouren, hoping that he would make good use of Pei Yan, and Wang Shouren naturally would not fail to take what Xie Shen said to heart.

"The last general is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he has beheaded more than 100 levels of Japanese robbers, and he is hereby reinstated."

In the Songjiang Mansion, Pei Yan saluted Wang Shouren with his fists and said respectfully.

"General Pei has worked hard."

In terms of official position, Pei Yan's official position is really a little embarrassing, he is now mainly responsible for training the new army, but the training is not a military attache official position, which means that Pei Yan is still a thousand households.

Wang Shouren called Pei Yan a general, obviously a little elevated.

"Lord Futai praised it falsely. The last general only acted in accordance with the orders of Lord Futai, and the credit naturally belonged to Lord Futai. ”

Pei Yan has been a thousand households for so many years, and it is naturally clear what to say and what not to say. Although he knew that Wang Shouren's personality would not care about these words, he still had to say it.

"Haha, how can this official compete with you for credit. General Pei rest assured that this official will definitely write a note and ask for credit for General Pei and the other soldiers. ”

Wang Shouren said while rubbing his beard.

"Thank you, Lord Futai."

"Hmm."

Wang Shouren pondered for a moment and said: "This is only the first battle of the official Pingwai, if you want to eradicate the Japanese trouble, the most important thing is to break the connection between the local rich merchants and the Japanese robbers. ”

Pei Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

In his opinion, the reason why the Japanese invaded the southeast was because of collusion with the local wealthy merchants. In order to smuggle money, the local wealthy businessmen raised a vote of widows. They formed a fleet to go to sea to smuggle, burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil.

In fact, the local government also turns a blind eye and closes one eye. Because these wealthy chambers of commerce donated a large sum of silver to the government, that is, protection money.

Naturally, it is not easy for the government to do things absolutely when they take money, which also fuels the arrogance of the Japanese coquents.

Now Lord Futai bluntly pointed out that the reason why the Japanese pirates were raging was because of the local rich merchants, and it seemed that he was going to sharpen his knife and cut down these rich businessmen who provided shelter for the Japanese pirates.
