After listening to Zhu Daolin's introduction, everyone was in an uproar, and they couldn't believe that the soldiers who were just operating the artillery needed to learn more things than the test show.

Zhu Daolin didn't have the heart to care so much, and looked at Zhang Gongwei, who was listening attentively: "Actually, the artillery requirements are far more than I said......

"Artillery first requires good eyesight, followed by strong body, strong arm strength, and flexible turning, and can basically become an artillery soldier with these conditions, but it must be gradually eliminated in training, and those who do not listen to commands, those who are not good at braining, and those who are cheating and playing tricks cannot be wanted."

"Because, artillery is a very dangerous branch of the army, and every action has strict requirements, otherwise it is possible to blow yourself up first if you don't hit the enemy, but once you become an army, a battalion of 500 officers and soldiers can operate 36 large and small artillery, and a salvo can destroy the enemy within a radius of one mile."

"Add to that the volleys of more than 2,500 musketeers from three battalions, and a 500-strong baggage battalion with a constant supply of ammunition, and even twice as many cavalry rushing in, it would have been an easy victory...... With another 1,000 to 2,000 light cavalry armed with short-barreled muskets and improved sabers, you can even wipe out the enemy! ”

"Boom" exclaimed, and everyone looked at Zhu Daolin like a ghost, some excited, some puzzled, and more incredible.

Zhu Daolin didn't care whether you believe it or not, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Gongwei, walked to the edge of the high platform together, and whispered in his ear: "Uncle Zhang, send me dozens of cavalry instructors...... I am going to form two battalions of cavalry, and an army fully armed with firearms cannot be without the protection of cavalry, at least the scout cavalry is indispensable. ”

Zhang Gongwei readily agreed: "Okay, when I go back, I will pick 50 veterans who have been on the battlefield for you from among the family, these people are all cavalry seeds from generation to generation, and they are also personal companions who have been practicing equestrianism with me since childhood...... You can use it first. Wait until you've trained the cavalry and then give it back to me. ”

"Ah...... What if someone wants to stay with me? Zhu Daolin didn't quite understand.

Zhang Gongwei was amused when she heard it: "Hehe, as long as you can keep it, I have no opinion...... These people are basically born in the family, their grandparents are the personal soldiers of my Zhang grandfather, and the wife and children all live in my compound, do you think you can keep them if you eat and drink well and have silver? ”

Zhu Daolin suddenly realized: "I'm sorry." Uncle Zhang, I don't mean anything else, I just heard about it, I haven't seen it, so I can't remember it for a while. ”

Zhang Gongwei smiled generously, patted Zhu Daolin's arm, and whispered: "Let it go!" Whether or not others believe in the power of an all-firearms army, I believe it and let it go. Uncle fully supports you! Is there anything that needs to be done by my uncle, do you just say, remember? ”

Zhu Daolin comforted: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang, in half a year, I will definitely send you an all-firearms army with 5,000 officers and soldiers, strict military discipline and well-trained!" If all goes well with the upcoming sea trip, I can send you a batch of Mongolian horses. ”

"Great! There are many soldiers, and I am satisfied with a few battalions of firearms soldiers! You don't have to worry about the selection of soldiers. I will command you to go down and pick out 12,000 people for you. Save too many times to eliminate too many and recruit, and I will let my subordinates bring the school back to enrich the guards, and Xin Chengbo will also have a few thousand people. ”

Zhang Gongwei, who was in high spirits, said that she would do it, and loudly called a group of generals under her command to jump off the high platform and personally enter the more than 30,000 recruits to preside over everything.

Zhu Daolin returned to Xu Hongji and sat down, and whispered to him about the whole process of driving away more than 100 veteran sailors.

Xu Hongji was annoyed when he heard this. He immediately ordered the two calmers to rush back and severely punish the more than 100 people who had disgraced him, but Zhu Daolin was persuaded by his bad words.

After Xu Hongji's anger was gone, he sighed weakly: "After so many years, I don't want to waste my time anymore!" Now is such a great opportunity to regroup. Those bastards don't even know how to cherish, what is the use of such people? ”

"Virtuous nephew, don't persuade me, this time I have to rectify military discipline, otherwise how will the expansion order the three armies? How can we launch a vital anti-bandit operation at the end of September and the beginning of October? ”

"To tell you the truth, after I plan to receive your two new ships of 300 tons, I will immediately send 4 warships of Longjiangwei and 8 400 clippers that can be used, together with the newly recruited 2,000 recruits, to Jiujiangwei, and squat in Jiujiang for a month to train them personally."

Zhu Daolin's mind turned, and he thought about it: "Is training in Jiujiangwei too exciting?" I think that if it is feasible, it is better to transfer the officers and men who can fight Jiujiangwei and train in the waters from Longjiangwei to Jiangyin, and after the training is completed, then quietly gather forces and suddenly kill Jiujiang, and it is estimated that the effect will be better...... In this way, the younger generation can also help to do something. ”

Xu Hongji immediately understood, laughed and immediately made a decision: "Good strategy!" It's a lot, it's decided, haha! ”

When more than 30,000 recruits gathered at the foot of the Lion Rock in Beicheng to select and divert, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from the guards in the city and the soldiers and horses of the five cities still had not lifted martial law.

Nearly 100 large and small warships of the 3,000 Naval Division were still stationed at Shuiguan and Xinhekou outside the Sanshan Gate, and carried out a close search of passing ships.

The tranquility and tranquility of the entire Jinling area were broken in one fell swoop, people in and outside the city were panicked, gangs and hooligans who were originally rampant in the streets and alleys disappeared, and market prices rose rapidly.

The sailor and the Jinyi guard yamen took the opportunity to throw the seized boatloads of smuggled salt into the market, causing 300,000 households in and outside Jinling City to buy back ten catties and eight catties to store at home, regardless of whether they were short of salt or not.

When Nanjing officialdom was in a panic, more than 10 people, including Wu Jingxian, the eunuch of Nanjing, Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, Zhang Gongwei, the Marquis of Longping, Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng, and Chang Yanling, the commander of Nanjing Jinyiwei, had been sent to the capital to describe in detail the whole process of the assassination of Zhu Daolin, the commander of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies appointed by the emperor.

Wu Jingxian and Chang Yanling also attached the interrogation confessions of the assassins and the Cao Gang for committing numerous crimes over the years, preemptively occupying the moral high ground.

Emperor Chongzhen received the report of Xu Hongji and others and the secret report of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and was furious, and loudly reprimanded Zhou Yanru and others the next morning, and ordered the Criminal Department to immediately send people to Nanjing to investigate and deal with the case of the assassination of Zhu Daolin, the general of the Qin Dynasty, and rectify the Nanjing Criminal Department.
