Just when Chu Fan was deserted and fled, next to the Liu family's mansion on Jeju Island, the Zhao family's father and son had just gone out and were each stepping on their horses, while Xiaozhu's mother and daughter were leaning on the door and looking at the three of them - the father and son were about to return to their respective teams.

"Child, mother," Zhao Songjie said as he looked at his wife with the reins, "Taking advantage of the fact that the livestock are worth a few days after the horse class, we quickly sold all the big animals of our family...... Facing the No. 4 settlement on Niudao in the east, I have already begged Zhu Dujian to help us get a homestead, just wait for you to sell your livestock to build a house!" …… Our family will all eat food in the future, how can we have the energy to take care of these animals...... Hurry up, do you hear? ”

After speaking, without waiting for his wife to reply, he turned to Zhao Bainian and Zhao Baisui brothers, "You two rabbit cubs, learn from the official...... You are a serious Fuliao army, not to mention the side, just Yulu is higher than the team of my regiment training camp...... Especially the Chinese dialect, that's the words of our ancestors, I tried to learn from Zhu Dujian in Jingyi County, you two rabbit cubs and Mr. teach, if you don't learn it again, be careful of Lao Tzu's big ear scraper next time! ”

"Yes, Dad!" The brothers replied in unison, they all used Chinese - Zhao Songjie was personally ordered by Chu Fan to go to the Jingyi County Regiment Joint Camp to help lead the troops because of his reputation among the herdsmen, although the team was in charge of the hundred and ten people, but there was no opportunity to learn Chinese, and the Zhao brothers, the descendants of the Song people who participated in the Fuliao Army, had a special hour every night to teach them to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters, so that the brothers were now able to have a simple conversation in Chinese.

Hearing the Chinese "Dad", Zhao Songjie's face looked better, and he whipped the horse's buttocks lightly, heading towards the southwest.

After looking at his father's back and disappearing out of view, Zhao Bonian pulled his restless mount and said to his mother, "Mother! This sentence is still in Chinese. Since he joined the Fuliao Army on the day of the fight, he has never called his father and mother "Abbaji" and "Amani" - "My father is right, you better sell your livestock and go to the beach quickly...... I'm afraid that this piece will not be peaceful after the New Year! ”

"How can it not be peaceful? Isn't this your Liao Army, as well as your father's regimental training camp? His wife asked in surprise, "Could it be that the bandits from Halla Mountain are coming?" ”

Zhao Bonian shook his head and said, "Mother, don't guess. It was said that the Koreans on the other side of the sea were going to send troops to conscript us...... This area will probably be a battlefield by then! ”

"Oh my God!" His mother turned pale with fright, covered her mouth and stared at her eyes, "The army of the imperial court? That...... So what should I do? ”

"Do what you have to do!" Before Zhao Bainian could speak, Zhao Baisui pouted disdainfully and said, "What's wrong with the imperial army?" Call him back when he comes! …… Our Captain Shen said that as many Koreans as he comes, as long as we form a group, we will definitely be able to beat him to obedience...... Han family son, never be a slave! We were finally freed from slavery. has been a Han man in a dignified manner, where is there any reason to go back to being a slave! ”

Zhao Bainian nodded involuntarily - although he was older than Zhao Bai, he was still a passionate age, and these words were also said by Captain Xiao of the three major teams, which had already been deeply rooted in his heart.

After telling the old lady a few more words, the brothers walked together and came towards the Liu family's mansion.

Zhao Bainian was assigned to the third team, and he should enter riding training tomorrow. So on the way, he asked Zhao Baisui, who had already completed his riding training, if his training was hard - the one-month recruit training was quite cruel, which made the recruit who was the first to take refuge in the Liao Army feel palpitations.

"Brother. You don't have to worry," Zhao Baisui said with a smile, "Riding training is pediatric for us...... That's all to train those rookies who haven't ridden a horse, what are you worried about? …… At the beginning, after our first team practiced, I was the second in the overall score, and that kid from the Lu family pressed me. ”

At this he paused. After hesitating for a moment, he turned his head to look at Zhao Bonian and said, "Brother, there is something I didn't dare to say when I was at home...... I don't want to be a cavalryman, I want to follow Captain Shen to the second battalion, and I have already obtained Captain Shen's consent. ”

Zhao Bonian was taken aback. He reined in his horse, looked at his brother and said, "Are you crazy?" Not to mention anything else in the cavalry battalion, the light and the infantry battalion are all high...... That's 5 denarii a month! Let Dad know and still pick your skin? ”

Zhao Baisui lowered his head and pouted, "It's all decided, and he can't lose his temper...... I just love the lighter! I'm going to be an infantryman! …… Anyway, I will also be a horse infantry in the future, and I will still have a lot of leads! ”

"You ......" Zhao Bonian saw that he was obsessed, pointed at him with a horse whip and didn't know what to say, and finally whipped it on the horse's buttocks, and slipped away in the direction of the three major teams' stations, leaving a sentence floating in the wind, "When Dad beats you, I won't intercede for you...... Deserve! ”

Zhao Baisui stuck out his tongue, also whipped his horse, and went straight into the station of a large team.

As soon as he bolted his mount, he saw the kid named Lu Han of the Lu family hurriedly walking over and saying to him in stumbling Chinese, "What are you doing...... Why don't you go back to the camp to eat? …… Shen Brigade ...... The captain is looking for ...... Looking for you! "He is a descendant of Lu Xiufu's clan, and his family has been quietly teaching Chinese, so now Lu Han's Chinese is much better than Zhao Baisui.

"Home...... Eaten. Zhao Baisui hurriedly replied, of course, in Chinese-this has become an unwritten rule for the descendants of the Song people, even if the Chinese language is stumbling, Korean will never be spoken in the barracks.

Following Lu Han, Zhao Baisui asked again, "Looking for me...... Why? ”

"Shoot the gun!" After Lu Han responded simply, he said, "I knew I could...... Can be equipped with a new gun...... I also...... No more cavalrymen...... Alas! Now available for ...... It's too late! ”

Zhao Bai was very happy, and wanted to laugh at him, but because the Chinese language was too bad, he couldn't find the right words for a while, and he held back for a long time before he could hold back a word, "Yes!" ”

While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the school field of a large team, and more than 300 people in the entire team stood neatly, Zhao Baisui and Lu Han hurriedly returned to their squad queue, and the third drum that had just stood up sounded - a total of three drums, and they waited for the military stick to arrive after the drum sounded.

After the drumming subsided, Shen Teng, the captain of the first team, steadily walked up to the earthen platform in front of the queue and began to lecture, to the effect that he summarized the training situation of the first team in the previous month, and at the same time made everyone tense their nerves, and the next month will have more training subjects, heavier tasks, and so on.

After the training, he named twenty people, all of whom had performed well in the previous training but could not enter the cavalry battalion due to riding skills - except for Zhao Baisui, of course—these people became the private goods booked in advance by the second battalion.

After the twenty people came out, the gun awarding ceremony officially began, and the gun leaders went up to the earth platform one by one, received a long wooden box from Shen Teng's hand, and listened to Shen Teng's admonition and encouragement at the same time.

After Zhao Baisui took the gun down, he couldn't wait to open the wooden box, only to see that in the middle of the box, a new gun shorter than Lu Mi was lying quietly, the barrel was black, only the blade of the 25-centimeter-long three-edged bayonet on the muzzle flashed with a cold light.

Unbeknownst to him, these 20 guns were the first batch of mass-produced new guns in the weapon group, named "Ushijima Type 1", which condensed many advanced technologies of the weapon group: flint, fixed mini bullets, three-edged bayonets, and simple lookouts......

In particular, this inconspicuous wooden box is specially customized to prevent moisture - the wooden box has double wooden teeth on the top and bottom, and the two iron buttons on the outside of the box can make the box bite tightly; The inside of the box is lined with a thick layer of oiled paper, and there is also a yarn sac filled with quicklime, which is changed regularly.

In order to solve the problem of fighting in rainy days, Chu Fan can be said to have used all the things he could think of, including a small umbrella-like hat, which has been gradually distributed to each battalion as a standard configuration.

Looking at the recruits fiddling with their new guns, Shen Teng on the earth platform was both excited and regretful.

Excitedly, the new gun will raise the combat power of the Fuliao Army again; And unfortunately, the new gun is expensive - a gun costs 32 taels of silver! ——The output is not high, only about 50 pieces a month.

For the next batch of new guns, it will be the turn of the third battalion to equip them, and the second battalion can only make do with the flint and Lu Mi guns first! (To be continued.) )
