164 Sense of Honor
Hu Guang smiled and said: "A cannon that makes the enemy frightened, a cannon that is cursed by the enemy to have no conscience and is mad." ”
Hu Kuan's eyes widened all of a sudden, he knew that Hu Guang would not deceive people, so he said that this cannon was so exaggerated, and immediately asked in surprise: "Second brother, is this cannon more powerful than the Hongyi cannon?" ”
At the moment, the most powerful cannon in the imperial court is the Hongyi cannon, but they have not seen it, they have only heard of it. It is said that even Liaodong Jianyu is so powerful that he is afraid of this Hongyi cannon, but it has not reached the point where he is frightened and makes them curse without conscience and madness.
Hu Guang shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not a type of cannon." The No Conscience Cannon has many drawbacks and can only be effective for specific occasions. After I let Uncle Liu successfully test it, you can understand it by looking at it, big brother. ”
With the best conscience cannon, of course, it can't be compared with the ** bag of later generations, otherwise there is such a simple weapon, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not a sweep of thousands of armies, and it was where to fight.
Looking at Hu Guang's confident demeanor, Hu Kuan and the three of them were very curious, and they couldn't wait to see the real thing right away, to see what this so-called conscienceless cannon was like, and how powerful it was?
"Artillery is a technical job, and there is a lot of knowledge to be mastered. Big brother, I will explain the use and principles of various types of artillery to the artillery company in advance, you can listen to it, so that it will be convenient for you to command the artillery in the future! ”
Hu Kuan and the others naturally couldn't refuse, their enthusiasm was still very high, and at dawn the next morning, they had already dispatched the most clever young men under their command to gather in the courtyard.
Although these young men stood in line as required, their spirits were a little low. One by one, their faces drooped, looking reluctant. In particular, the young men who were drawn from Liu Daneng's cavalry company were the most obvious.
Hu Wan ignored Hu Hansan and Liu Daneng, turned around to meet Hu Guang, who had just come out of the room, and said with a smile: "Second brother, people ......."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly remembered what Hu Guang said last night, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute, his demeanor was very natural, and he said after putting it down: "Second brother, we have prepared the people of the artillery company you wanted." ”
As soon as Hu Hansan and Liu Daneng saw Hu Kuan saluting, they immediately remembered it and saluted.
Hu Guang was a little grateful in his heart, the eldest brother didn't care about his face at all, and was completely supporting himself. He immediately returned the military salute, and then replied: "Big brother has worked hard, leave it to me next!" ”
Hu Kuan just smiled, didn't speak, and stood behind him. Liu Daneng and Hu Hansan naturally didn't want to mention, and they stood behind Hu Kuan again.
Hu Guang walked quickly to the front of the queue, looking at the mental outlook of these people, and couldn't help frowning. Although these people showed a trace of spirit when they saw him coming, the words "I am reluctant" were still engraved on the door of their heads.
When Hu Kuan saw it, he also frowned, his face sank, and he took a step forward to prepare to train people.
Hu Guang saw it sideways, and immediately spoke first: "Why, you don't want to be an artilleryman?" If you have any questions, you can ask them now, after this village, there will be no more this shop! ”
As soon as Hu Kuan heard his younger brother speak, he retreated quietly.
It's also that Hu Guang is usually not strict, and he is amiable in the eyes of these young men. Therefore, as soon as his voice fell, someone in the back row immediately said in the ranks: "Childe, when this artilleryman, it is better to go into battle and fight than to be killed by the bombing!" ”
Seeing the way the others nodded slightly, Hu Guang immediately knew that the crux of the problem was there, he immediately smiled and said loudly: "Don't worry, I won't let you use substandard artillery." I'll teach you how to aim, how to fire, how far to shoot......"
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention these ordinary soldiers or peasants in northern Shaanxi, even in the Liaodong Army, which often fought, there was also the most noble Beijing camp, all of whom did not know how to fire artillery. The Ming government also hired Portuguese soldiers to train and explain how to fire artillery.
Therefore, when they heard Hu Guang say that the quality of the artillery was guaranteed, these people were relieved first. I heard Hu Guang say that he would teach them to shoot artillery, and he was interested. This thing is very mysterious to them, and if Childe can teach them, it will naturally be attractive.
Hu Guang did not give up, and continued to tempt them: "I tell you, artillery is the god of war in the army, and it is the enemy's nightmare, which can make the enemy fearful!" Don't believe it, because that's what I said! ”
These people really eat Hu Guang's set, especially the last sentence, for them, it is equivalent to having an authoritative guarantee. Their faces finally showed an expression of interest, and their chests unconsciously straightened.
And the reason why Hu Guang is so verbose is because he wants to build a completely new army. Not only in terms of concept, but also in terms of practical work.
The old army, or most of the armies at the end of the Ming Dynasty, were all paid as soldiers and ate with a mouthful of food. There is no sense of honor and no sense of belonging.
Hu Guang explained the role of artillery clearly, so that these people like artillery, this can be different, and doing things can have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Hu Kuan on the side was also surprised when he heard it, the second brother didn't say this last night, the artillery is really so godly? Thinking like this, he was even more curious in his heart about how powerful this artillery company would be after it was established.
Hu Guang saw that the soldiers in front of him were all interested, so he announced loudly: "Your company, for the time being, will not select squad leaders, platoon commanders, and company commanders. It's all in the process of learning and accepting artillery technology, and whoever learns the best will be in charge. ”
"I won't say much nonsense, you guys will be taken by me for the time being, but I won't have much time, so you have to work hard to learn. Truth be told, you will be our trump card for the Heavenly Army, don't let me down! ”
After Hu Guang finished speaking, he took this group of young men who were in high spirits to the city, struck while the iron was hot, and first explained some basics to the guns at the city.
At the same time, Li Dingguo was also called, and Hu Guang was ready to let him record, but he only said it once, and he didn't have time to say it a second time. If you really want to be able to get ahead, literacy is a must.
However, Hu Guang didn't expect that he had just started his speech when he was interrupted by a brother who came in a hurry: "Bao Gongzi, those refugees wanted to make trouble yesterday, and the commander of the Ulan battalion came to ask how to deal with it?" ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he was very surprised, what kind of moth is this.
Hu Hansan on the side was even more angry, and said loudly: "If you take them in, you dare to make trouble, it's really a rebellion!" The platoon I sent out was doing something, a bunch of rubbish! ”
Hu Guang asked the eldest brother to continue to take the artillery company, and turned around and left.
