The person who spoke was Liu Jingting, who had been holding back for a long time, and finally waited for this opportunity.

"My lord, I think you're taking one less person with you. If you bring this person to the battlefield, the morale of the Jinyi Guard will inevitably be like a rainbow, and the battle will be easier. ”

"Oh, who?"

Liu Jingting pointed to his nose triumphantly: "I." When I heard that the adults ordered the execution of the bandits who burned and looted in Wu Zhuangzi Village, didn't many soldiers fail to do it? If you take me with you, I will expose the cruelty of the bandits to them, and the soldiers will have the same hatred for the enemy, and will there be any kindness for women? ”

Xiong Tingbi tugged at Liu Jingting's shirt and signaled him not to talk nonsense.

Who knew that Zhu Youcheng actually nodded and said, "Yes, I did take you less." At that time, I recruited you into the Jinyi Guard to boost your morale, but I forgot about you when I was about to fight. However, you have only one person, and we have thirty-one thousand households, and more than thirty thousand horses, so we can't divide you into hundreds. In this way, Mr. Liu, I will promote you to a thousand households. Tomorrow, I will submit the promotion documents to the emperor, and the emperor trusts me very much, and he should not send it back. From now on, you are responsible for training people who do the ideological work of soldiers. Each deputy hundred households need to come to you for training, and they will be allowed to work only after they are qualified. There are 62o deputy hundred households out of 31 thousand households, Mr. Liu, the responsibility is very heavy, the workload is very large, can you complete the task? ”

Liu Jingting gave a military salute and replied loudly: "Guarantee to complete the task!" ”

All the thousands of households looked at Liu Jingting with envy, this guy didn't fight a battle, and he went up one level directly. Good luck. However, the thousands of households are not jealous, Liu Jingting is indeed capable. Every time he went to a thousand houses, the morale of the soldiers there exploded. The determination to fight rises once. Other troops are afraid of war and avoid war, but Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division wants to fight and ask for war.

All the thousands of households were about to ask to fight again, Zhu Youcheng seemed to see their thoughts, his hands were pressed, and then his right hand snapped his fingers, and a guard stepped forward and took down the hanging map of Beizhili. Replaced with a map of the Ming Dynasty. In the late Ming Dynasty, the scope of control shrank sharply. Just a little bit on the map. Every time Zhu Youcheng saw the map, he felt that there was a surge of pride, wasn't the territory incomplete? It doesn't matter, you're in your lifetime. I will definitely get all the land belonging to Daming back.

Zhu Youcheng pointed to the map and began to assign tasks. He took the Yangtze River as the boundary and divided the Xizhen Fusi into two parts, with 15 thousand households suppressing bandits north of the Yangtze River and 15 thousand households suppressing bandits south of the Yangtze River. The commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits north of the Yangtze River is himself, and the commander-in-chief of the suppression of bandits south of the Yangtze River is Wang Ye Xin. On average, each province has two thousand troops, but two provinces have been missed. One is Guizhou Province and the other is Sichuan Province. Just kidding, at this time, Luxury Chongming and An Bangyan were making a fuss there. Sending troops there to suppress bandits, isn't it to deliver food to traitors?

Hearing about the suppression of bandits, the thousands of households who are eager for a big war can't help but be a little discouraged, what kind of ability is it to bully bandits, Jinyi Weixi Zhenfu Division's combat power is amazing, wouldn't it be a cannon to fight mosquitoes when Jinyi Wei was sent to suppress bandits. What a waste.

Zhu Youcheng smiled and told the thousands of households about the harvest of the battle of Cangzhou, and the thousands of households widened their eyes. The bandits are so rich, and this battle is fought vigorously. It seems that it's okay to be idle, and it's still a bit interesting to bully and bully bandits. Zhu Youcheng told them again, it is okay to bully bandits, but it is absolutely not okay to bully the common people, once the existing Jinyi guards have violated military discipline, from thousands of households to soldiers, they will not be tolerated. After listening to Zhu Youcheng's arrangement, the thousands of households knew that Jinyiwei was divided into a team of 100 people to attack this time, and at the same time attacked the bandit strongholds everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Thousands of households came forward to receive the holy decree of troop transfer. As the Emperor of the Apocalypse guessed, the eunuch Wang Tiqian's arms were swollen with the seal of the eunuch Wang Tiqian. However, with Wei Zhongxian, a powerful traitor, staring at him, Wang Tiqian has to endure no matter how aggrieved he is. After the incident, Wang Tiqian took two days off, and it is said that ten subordinates rubbed his arm for two days at home.

Ke Qingqing also has a holy decree to transfer troops, but her thousand households are not fighting collectively, but are divided into thirty medical Liao groups and follow the thirty thousand households to act together. Moreover, these medical teams will not go deep into the mountains to suppress bandits, but will sit in towns with thousands of households and rescue the wounded there.

Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, and Xu Ning were the last to be named, and they rushed forward to get the holy decree of transferring troops, but they didn't expect Zhu Youcheng to say: "Jiang Qianhu, Feng Qianhu, Xu Qianhu, you three will not send troops for the time being." Take my order, go to the Xizhen Mansion Division to get the musket, 200 bullets for each soldier, and ask you to use up these bullets within a month, and quickly train me a pure firearms army. You are the old guys of the 100-man team of the West Town Fusi, and you have learned the three-stage shooting, so use it well. Don't worry, practice the firecrackers, we may have a tough fight. ”

The three thousand households went out with the general order in confusion, but the military order was like a mountain, and they did not dare to object. When they arrived at Xizhen Fusi, the number of firearms they had now was not enough, and there were only 16o7 firearms left in the arsenal, deducting the pure firearms they had each equipped before, and there were still more than 1,000 firearms. They came back to report to Zhu Youcheng, Zhu Youcheng scratched his head, and there was no way.

Go to the military headquarters and borrow a thousand firearms? If you talk about whether the military department will borrow it, even if it does, the range is not uniform, the shooting accuracy is inconsistent, and the doping team is not adding to the chaos? If the firecrackers from other thousand households are gathered into these three teams, first, each thousand households already love the hundred-person firecracker team like a treasure, and they are reluctant to borrow it; Second, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of King Xin.

Zhu Youcheng had a premonition that Gao Di's withdrawal plan would be opposed by the military generals of Liaoxi, and at a critical moment, he was likely to rush to the aid of Liaodong. This operation was very dangerous, facing the first-class Jiannu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, in case King Xin was injured, even if the Emperor of the Apocalypse let him go, he himself would be condemned by his conscience for the rest of his life.

So he planned to put King Xin in Jiangnan and take charge of the bandit suppression operation in the south. On the surface, he stayed in the north and supervised the suppression of bandits in the north, but in fact he took 5,000 people on an expedition to Liaodong. In this way, even if King Shin learned that Xizhen Fusi had sent troops to Liaodong and wanted to rush back to participate in the operation, it would be dozens of days later. When the Emperor of the Apocalypse stops him again, King Xin can't go even if he wants to. If Zhu Youcheng does this, King Xin may complain about him for a while, but it is better than being scared along the way.

Zhu Youcheng pondered for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Just take the 16o7 fire guns and divide them, the other soldiers train shields and spears, block bows and arrows for the fire guns when shooting, and when the opposing cavalry charges, swing the spear array to block the enemy's horse charge." ”

The three thousand households turned around and were about to go back, when Zhu Youcheng suddenly called out to them and said, "Wait, let the remaining soldiers train to throw wooden sticks." They are the first batch of bombardiers of Jinyiwei! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youcheng took out a piece of paper, brushed a little bit with a brush, drew a schematic diagram of the structure of the grenade, and wrote the method of making it next to it, dried the ink, folded it, handed it to Jiang Ting, and asked him to hand it over to Li Datie, and ordered Li Datie to suspend the manufacture of firearms, make every effort to make grenades, and be sure to make 4,000 grenades within a month. Later generations have researched that this is the first batch of grenades used in marching attacks in the Ming Dynasty, and the research time is zero, purely forced out by the low production of firearms.

There are two styles of grenades, one is a spherical melon-shaped grenade and the other is a cylindrical grenade with a wooden handle at the lower end. When Zhu Youcheng besieged Dingguo Gongzhuang Courtyard before, he once threw stones, and knew that it was more difficult to throw round stones far away, but it was much easier to throw wooden sticks. So Zhu Youcheng designed a wooden-handled grenade. Of course, Zhu Youcheng does not have high-grade explosives in his hands, only black explosives, so the amount of explosives contained in it cannot be too small, at least one catty, and the explosion range can probably have a look of one or two steps, and the fragments of shrapnel can still hurt people within more than 20 steps, and the power is not small.

Zhu Youcheng asked the three thousand households to choose a strong man as a bombardier, and thirty steps is a passing grade, and it is best to throw fifty or sixty steps, so that the grenades thrown will not hurt themselves.

The three thousand households worked non-stop, turning back to the West Town Fusi, while arranging the daily training of the firecracker team, while selecting strong men. There are a lot of strong men in the army, and they usually wrestle their wrists to compete their strength when they have nothing to do, so 12oo strong men were quickly selected.

The Hercules were overjoyed that it was finally their turn to show their might, as the Thousand Households informed them that they would be the "first" bombardiers. The first group of Xizhenfu is Zhu Youcheng's henchmen, the first batch of 100 people recruited during the Wanli period, and now they are either 1,000 households or deputy 1,000 households, and the most inferior is also 100 households; The first batch of firecrackers were the most favored, the first to fight, the first to grab the merits, and now each of them has four or five exploits in their hands, for sure. So what kind of treatment will you have in this first batch?

However, when they saw the wooden sticks, they were all Zhangji King Kong - they were confused, and they could kill the enemy by throwing this stick, could the enemy be made of tofu?

However, when the thousands of households blew up the grenade on the spot, they were all stunned. Sure enough, it was Zhu Daming's vicious weapon, and the place where the explosion was exploded left a large hole more than a foot deep and more than two feet wide, and a few pieces of broken shrapnel deeply embedded in the tree were found on a big tree twenty-five steps away.

Of course, such a grenade and a modern grenade are not at all comparable. In order to achieve the same explosive power, this grenade is loaded with a lot of gunpowder, which is much heavier than modern grenades. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were strong enough to throw such a heavy grenade fifty paces away. To make matters worse, because there was no automatic fire device, the grenade was still dragging a long lead, and the fire rope that the musketeer could not use was finally put around the grenadier's neck. Zhu Youcheng did not calculate the length of the lead, but fortunately, Li Datie noticed the problem and left a long enough lead to ensure that the grenade would not explode before hitting the ground.

The grenadier's troubles were solved, but Zhu Youcheng's troubles were not helped, he was thinking, what excuse should be used to transfer King Xin to Jiangnan? (To be continued)
