In addition to purchasing 600 French dog-lock flintlock muskets, Zhang Chi also had five base ammunition, that is, bullets and gunpowder that could be fired a hundred times.

At the same time, because Deng Haonan taught the martial arts students to implement militarized management according to their academic performance and tables, the military rank of the eighth class and the twenty-sixth rank corresponded to the officer system.

Therefore, the trainees are usually brothers and sisters, and when they work, they are superiors and subordinates, and everyone has their own responsibilities and division of labor. Therefore, Qian Shun's task is to purchase auxiliary supplies for officers and soldiers of all ranks. These included command knives for officers, handguns with intricately carved hilts, and epaulettes and collar badges that showed different ranks. Due to limited conditions, Deng Haonan could not afford metal epaulettes made of real money, so he could only use traditional hand-embroidery methods to make zuò.

At present, Deng Haonan only has a navy, so he tightly ordered Qian Shun to supervise the navy badge. It was a shield-like badge embroidered with an anchor sword, the anchor symbolizing the navy and the sword symbolizing force. The bolt is very long, and the bars are added to it according to the rank of the officer. The horizontal bar forms an inverted triangle, and the direction is the same as that of the anchor head. From a distance, it looks like a fish with only a skeleton left, the anchor head wants to be a fish head, and the rank level is equivalent to a fish bone, and the more fish bones, the higher the rank.

Deng Haonan didn't expect this kind of design at first, but doesn't the fish represent the navy? The more fish bones, the bigger the fish, symbolizing this world of the jungle, which is just right.

In addition to these, Qian Shun also sent a letter to Captain John, who was repairing the ship in Macau.

After Deng Haonan remembered, he suddenly asked, "Did you send the letter to Captain John?" ”

Qian Shun immediately replied, "According to the principal's instructions, the student sent the letter to Captain John!" He also brought a letter for the students to hand over to the principal! ”

As he spoke, Qian Shun took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Deng Haonan with both hands.

Deng Haonan took the letter and opened it to see that John said in the letter that the warship had been repaired and was not as strict as he imagined, so he still had half of the 10,000 taels of silver that Deng Haonan gave him. Since Deng Haonan dismantled the twenty eighteen-pounder guns on their ship, Captain John used the remaining five thousand taels of silver to purchase twenty twelve-pounder guns from Dutch merchants to supplement the needs of the warship.

In this way, with the addition of the original 20 twelve-pounder guns, the warship had a total of 50 guns, including 10 18-pounder guns and 40 twelve-pounder guns, and the combat power was very considerable.

Looking down, it's John's complaint. He demanded that Deng Haonan give them all the gunpowder and cannonballs they needed, plus supplies at sea, and allowed them to go to sea to hunt, because they could not wait to return to piracy.

Finally, John's signature, with some sketches of sailors on it, expresses their urgency at the moment.

After reading it, Deng Haonan smiled, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like pirates, a group of living treasures.

Seeing that Deng Haonan read the letter, Qian Shun said: "Principal! Our warship is also short of a lot of artillery and ammunition now, should I go back to Macao and let John buy some more? After all, the price of things John and the Dutch buy is much lower than if we bought them directly, which is very cost-effective! ”

Deng Haonan thought about it, at present, Britain and the Netherlands are still in the honeymoon period, and John can buy a 12-pounder gun for two hundred and fifty taels of silver, which is really cheap.

Deng Haonan pulled his fingers, thinking of the sixty thousand taels of silver in his hand and spending seventy-seven eighty-eight in a blink of an eye. Sixty thousand taels of silver is a huge amount of money for an individual, but using it to support an army of several hundred people will cost more than half of the equipment alone.

But after thinking about it, isn't Yan Siqi poor and has money left? Looks like I'm going to have to trick him again.

Thinking of this, Deng Haonan smiled in his heart, because he thought of a way to make money again.

What could be more lucrative than the resale of arms?

※※※

On the school grounds, the autumn breeze is gusting and a little cool. However, the three hundred disciples of the Martial Arts Hall were in good spirits and gathered on the school grounds.

"To the right - on par!"

"Look ahead!"

"Take a break!"

As a series of military equipment was distributed to everyone, every student was very excited, and they followed the example of their brothers and equipped themselves with military uniforms and weapons and equipment one by one.

At three o'clock, Deng Haonan, accompanied by Lin Feng, Huzi and Da Niu, came to the school field.

I saw Deng Haonan wearing a snow-white woolen worsted navy dress, which was exceptionally bright under the sun, giving people a refreshing feeling.

On the large-brimmed hat, a naval insignia shimmers in the sun. Although Quartermaster Lieutenant Yu Minglu was unable to equip everyone with metal badges due to financial constraints, it was still necessary for Principal Deng Haonan.

Under the big-brimmed hat, a pair of piercing eyes watched everyone standing on the school field closely. His expression was very excited, and at that moment, he felt as if he had returned to modern times.

"Stand up!"

With a long shout, Deng Haonan was pulled back from his fantasy.

Deng Haonan calmed down, came to the queue, and looked at the heads held high and energetic one by one, and the long-lost military might came spontaneously.

"Please take a break!"

Deng Haonan smiled and said, "How do you feel!" Tell me about it! ”

"Good!"

"True spirit!"

"There's a panache!"

"Bullish!"

"It's the first time I've worn such a nice outfit!"

Da Niu's simple laughter immediately made everyone laugh. But it really speaks the hearts of many people. Because most of them were farmers and craftsmen, they naturally did not wear such good clothes and received such generous treatment. And there are some people who are from military households, but the armaments of the Ming Dynasty are slack, and the military households in various health centers are ten rooms and nine empty, and they all run away. And the vast majority of them in order to avoid the court's investigation, or occupy the mountains as kings, or go to sea as thieves. Although they wore the Daming military uniform, compared to the naval uniform at the moment, it was really a world of difference.

The military uniform designed by Deng Haonan gave them a sense of incomparable pride, and no one wanted to take it off anymore when they wore this military uniform. It is no exaggeration to say that even for this dress, they have to follow Deng Haonan to do things with all their hearts.

Just as Deng Haonan was communicating with everyone, the camp gate was suddenly opened, and a group of people walked straight in.
