The second update, please recommend!

Next to the ten-mile long street in Yangzhou, the large camp plate that originally belonged to the Wurui Army has been divided into two since today. The camp of the original Wu Rui Right Army in the east, including a sizable school yard, was all owned by the freshly baked artillery army. It was originally a large camp that could accommodate two or three thousand people, but now it is used by six hundred or dozens of people under Chen Dexing. As for the remaining 1,300-odd troops, it will take some time before they can be raised. Although there are only more than 600 people, they are also the shelf of a dignified army, and generals at all levels are indispensable. On that day, the twenty-one people who married Jinlan with Chen Dexing upstairs in Qionghua all changed into military attache robes and swords hung on their waists, and sat in the lobby under the command of the artillery army according to the case, waiting for Chen Dexing, who had just received the official general order from the Fusi Yamen and became the lord of the first army, to arrange a dispatch for them.

On Chen Dexing's side, there is also a civil official with a black veil and a soft hat and a webbed head, not a white-faced scholar, but a black-faced man with muscles like iron, who is looking at these righteous brothers of Chen Dexing with sharp eyes.

Chen Dexing raised his right hand, pointed at the black-faced man, and said to his brothers: "This is Lu Muban, who is the manager of our artillery army, and the official worships Lu Muban, who is a politician, and is also a fellow villager of the An Fengjun of a certain family. ”

The surname is Lu, a person from Anfeng Army, and Chen Dexing, who was born in Jiangmen, is a world friend - the hearts of several military men who have been in the army for many years have emerged from the hearts of several military men surnamed Lu, Lu Wende, the leader of Anfeng Jiangmen!

This Lu Muban is Lu Wende's subordinate (nephew), the famous teacher Tiger, Muban is his word, and he admires Ban Chao who throws a pen from Rong. However, there are not many sons and nephews of the Anfeng Lu family who have devoted their pen to Rong, but there are many who have abandoned martial arts and followed literature. It's a pity that most of them are frustrated in the field, and Lu Shihu is no exception. It's just that at present, it is difficult for civil officials who rely solely on cuteness to make up for their background, if they do not have special opportunities, it is difficult to climb to a high position, even if there is an uncle named Lu Wende, it is useless - who can make up for the master who is an official, who does not have a good father, good grandfather and good uncle? If they can all soar, it will not be the Song Dynasty with only high reading, but the Jin Dynasty with no cold family and no family in the lower grade.

Therefore, even the civil officials who are sprouting to make up for the official will not give up the right path of the article and the imperial examination. Now Jia Rudao, who opened the two Huai mansions, is the first to make up for the Shi, and then the Jinshi. However, this Jinshi is extremely difficult to obtain, and the number of students in the entire Great Song Dynasty is in the millions, and those who can be named on the gold list are only five or six hundred per subject. Not to mention that there is not much article background, it is a well-dressed family of poetry heirlooms, and it is a very great joy to be a jinshi.

Therefore, after being disappointed in the field a few times, Lu Shihu, who did not look like a literati, had no choice but to climb up from the road of military merit. Now that it is a troubled era, the Song Dynasty has implemented the national policy of using literature to control the military, and the opportunities for civil officials to achieve military merits will naturally not be too few. For example, Jia Shi, the father of Jia Yidao, was Meng Bu after entering the office, and relied on military merits to rise all the way to Huaidong as an envoy and know Chuzhou. Although the civil officials who have risen through the military career are always not as noble as the civil officials who were born in the imperial examination, it is better than turning the civil service into a military rank to lead the troops......

"It's time to see you somewhere."

The brothers of the "Chen family" under the hall did not dare to snub Lu Shihu, who was born in the Lu family of Anfeng, and all stood up respectfully and saluted. Chen Dexing was also full of smiles, and introduced himself to Lu Shihu one by one because he was these brothers. In the end, he smiled and said: "Lu Shibo, you can bend to come to the grass platform team of the junior brother, which really makes the junior brother overjoyed!" In the future, this artillery army will be in the same hands as the little nephew and the uncle. ”

Chen Dexing's words were polite, and he also called Lu Shihu the uncle according to the seniority within the Anfeng General's Gate. But Lu Shihu would not be so confused as to get involved in the team pulled out of the sea of blood in the mountains of corpses, and this was not the purpose of his coming to the artillery army. He also laughed at the moment, and said with his hands crossed: "Qingzhi, where did you come from, a scholar from a certain family, who only understands the words and sentences of articles, and knows nothing about military affairs. And you and I are the same age, I don't do it, I'm about to call me old, let's be brothers. ”

Chen Dexing just smiled, pressed his hands again and again, and motioned for his group of brothers to sit down, "...... Brother Lu Shi's knowledge, a certain family in Lin'an heard the family respect talk about it, and also took care of the family to often ask the world brother for advice after arriving in Yangzhou. ”

Lu Shihu just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What knowledge do I have?" It's just some useless articles and scriptures, not practical learning. For example, the stone machine offered by Qingzhi, not only can I not make it, I can't even understand the sample drawing, but I also hope that Qingzhi can give advice. ”

Hearing this, it seems that he has come to learn to build a stone machine.

Chen Dexing can be regarded as touching the opponent's hole card - he can meet this requirement, Anfeng Lu's family is also the gate of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also beneficial for the Great Song Dynasty to learn to build and use a torsion stone machine. As for whether he will meet with the Anfeng Lu family on the battlefield in the future, Chen Dexing does not care about this at all. If there really is such a day, their own artillery will already be artillerymen!

And this torsion stone machine really has to be used well, and it is not easy!

Thinking of this, Chen Dexing smiled, no longer talking nonsense with Lu Shihu, but swept his eyes under the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Are there any brothers in the hall who can do carpentry and ironworking?" ”

When he asked, the more than 20 people in the hall were stunned, and then six people stood up. Chen Dexing swept his eyes and recognized those people as Qi Ta, Chen Shuo, Xie Qianyi, Lu Liu, Yu Bao, and Yan Jimin.

"Let's talk about what kind of crafts you know." Chen Dexing asked with a smile.

"Younger brother Zita, before joining the army, was a blacksmith and can make all kinds of weapons." The one who spoke was a tall and burly young man, and his face was quite rough, and he had a lot of strength, and he could make a hard bow with one stone, which was originally practiced by striking iron.

"Junior brother Chen Shuo, he was a carpenter before joining the army." Chen Shuo is a tall and thin young man, very dark, and a pair of slightly protruding fish eyes, most of which are short-sighted, and he always squints when he looks at people.

"Junior brother Xie Qianyi is an apprentice in a blacksmith shop." This is a stout boy, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, also with big shoulders and a round waist, but he is a little short, less than five feet.

"The younger brother Lu Liu is a boatwright, and he can also do some carpentry." Lu Liu is a middle-aged man, his face is full of vicissitudes and misery, he was originally a craftsman who built a fishing boat in Zhenzhou (Yizheng), and his family lived outside the city of Zhenzhou, and yesterday came the news that Zhenzhou was attacked by the Tartars......

"The younger brother Yu Bao is also a shipwright, and he has also run a boat." Yangzhou is located in a water town, fishery and water transportation are developed, naturally there are many people who have done shipbuilding for a living, and now the young man who is talking in the dark does not slip in autumn knows at a glance that he is a draught who relies on water.

"The younger brother Yan Jimin worked as a carpenter before joining the army." This is a faithful young man, born with big hands and thick knuckles, and you can tell at a glance that he has done work.

Chen Dexing smiled, "Very good, there are six brotherhoods of ironwood craftsmanship, it seems that the shelves of the right army can be erected...... The meaning of this officer, under the artillery army, it should be divided into two armies, the left army operates artillery, and the right army makes artillery. The left army is all warriors, and the right army is craftsmen. As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Monk Liu, "Monk, the commander of the right army is temporarily up to you, and there are four generals under the right army, including carpentry generals, iron generals, combination generals, and gunpowder generals." Qi Ta, Chen Shuo, Xie Qianyi, Lu Liu, Yu Bao, Yan Jimin and other brothers are all in the right army as generals, and the specific dispatch will be discussed later. This afternoon, you will first go to the capital courtyard and shipyard with this official and Lu Jiyi to pick people. This morning, this officer will first tell you the tricks of artillery field warfare. ”

These tricks are actually worked out by Chen Dexing behind closed doors, and whether they are good or not has to be explored slowly.

"Something you do."

Monk Liu and the six brothers who were named all bowed and saluted, and gave another order. Lu Shihu on the side looked at these six people with burning eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking in his heart?

Chen Dexing looked at the brothers in his hall, and just smiled, "Brothers, do you know how the artillery army fights, do you know what the secret of the artillery army is to kill the enemy?" ”

The officers below, you look at me, I look at you, all of them are at a loss. Lu Shihu on the side also looked at Chen Dexing with some curiosity.

Chen Dexing's tone was plain, he just smiled and said: "The artillery army does not rely on courage and martial arts, but on learning!" Throwing a cannon on the head of the North Captives two or three hundred paces away is a university question! Therefore, from today onwards, in addition to practicing martial arts and doing things, you also have to study with me! ”

Study? Is there anything to do with gunnery and reading? Lu Shihu was dumbfounded when he heard this, and looked at Chen Dexing, who was in charge of the first army at the age of a weak crown.
