The Governor of Nanzhili was the former Governor of Fengyang.

However, now the four prefectures in Jiangbei are still occupied by the Qing court, and Zong Mao can only manage a few prefectures around Taihu Lake, which are the richest prefectures in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhai Zhe was anxious to push Zongmao to the throne because of the war of the Northern Expedition next year.

Zhejiang's money, grain, and firearms are all concentrated in Suzhou Prefecture, and Nanzhili will take on the logistics of the Northern Expedition. Zong Mao once served as the head of the general's mansion, and he was familiar with the supply of the army.

Once the son of heaven and a courtier, the chief official of Nanzhili has been changing in recent years, and after Zong Mao took the throne, he changed the governor's residence from Songjiang Mansion to Suzhou Mansion, and no one dared to raise objections.

The residence of the governor of Nanzhili should have been Fengyang Mansion, Chen Zilong established the rules first, and Zong Mao showed the difference from his predecessor as soon as he took office.

Suzhou is a very lively place.

There are academies here, and there are two generals of the Ming army in Jiangnan.

Zong Mao and Feng Qin reconnected after a year.

The governor's mansion of Suzhou Prefecture is still in simple renovation, and the prefects and soldiers of several prefectures in Nanzhili will take the lead to visit Shangguan.

As the Spring Festival approached, there was not much to do, and everyone returned to their respective places after meeting the new governor.

When the Suzhou Mansion was a little quieter, Feng Qin and Li Zhi'an led the generals to congratulate.

Zong Mao was wearing a scarlet robe, his beard was shaved and clean, his cheeks were iron and blue, and he was extremely energetic.

The generals in the army wore civilian clothes and saluted one by one.

Seeing Feng Qin, Zong Mao was really happy. Because he knew that if someone else was appointed governor of Nanzhili, Feng Qin would definitely not gather all the future to congratulate. Because after the general separated the military and the government, the generals of the regular army had no intersection with the local government.

But he didn't know that Feng Qin was dragged over by Li Zhi'an.

Feng Qin stood at the front, only bowed his hand and said "Master Zong" and stepped aside, and Li Zhian and other generals talked to Zong Mao.

Zong Mao's most civil official has always been very strict and affectionate to military generals.

Everyone was chatting very lively, and Zong Mao waved his right arm and promised: "You are stationed in Nanzhili, if you have any difficulties, just come to me." I used to be the head of the Great General's Mansion, but now I am not, but the King of Jin has instructed me to ensure that Nanzhili must do everything to ensure the needs of the army."

Yuan Qizhou echoed: "That's right, when Master Zong was the head of the army, the military salary would go to the barracks every month from the third day of the junior high school, where is it like now, Changdao only saw the silver at the end of the month."

In the past, the silver was directly released by the General's Mansion, but now the silver has to go through two more procedures, the household department and the military department, and it is actually normal for ten or twenty days at night.

Most of the generals complained about civilian officials, and civilian officials blamed the whole world.

Feng Qin just listens and occasionally takes a sip of tea.

An hour later, Zong Mao was about to arrange a luncheon, Feng Qin stepped forward first, picked up the tea bowl and said, "Brother Zong, the sergeant of the army is practicing urgently, I can't stay for a long time." I know that my brother will congratulate me with tea instead of wine, and I will say goodbye."

The seats were quiet, and the generals did not dare to stay.

Li Zhi'an remembered his trip to the Fuyang Weapons Workshop a month ago, and knew that the pressure on Feng Qin's shoulders was not small.

"You also have to eat when you go back, it's not half an hour" Zong Mao stretched out his hand to stay, and said: "General Feng, you and I haven't drunk together for a long time"

Feng Qin said lightly: "The vigilance of the river defense is not solved, and it is not allowed to drink alcohol in the army."

Zong Mao was embarrassed and speechless.

"Brother Zong, don't leave it at that" Feng Qin showed a very slight smile.

The generals departed with Fengqin.

Zong Mao stood at the gate and squinted until the figures of those people disappeared around the corner of the street.

He has also been by Zhai Zhe's side since he was a child, so he knows the status of him, Feng Qin and Ji Hong in the heart of King Jin. They are the real right-hand men of King Jin, but the relationship between the three of them has always been lukewarm. Ji Hong and he are brothers-in-law, and they don't see each other a few times a year, and this Fengqin is like a piece of ice that does not melt for thousands of years.

Military affairs are indeed urgent.

Before Chinese New Year's Eve, there were a total of 7,000 flint guns from Suzhou Mansion in Fuyang Weapons Workshop, and Zhao Pu sent a prediction to the official document of the Great General's Mansion through the weapons superintendent. According to the current level, by March next year, the three arms workshops will be able to send 12,000 flint guns to the army.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people close their doors and celebrate at home.

The sound of guns and cannons in the barracks outside Suzhou City is continuous, echoing with the sound of firecrackers hundreds of miles away.

Many of the soldiers had frostbite on their hands, and they used pure muscle memory to reload their flint guns. There were many complaints in the army, but after the general's palace promised an extra month's military salary, the complaints were reported.

Of course, it is very important to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and to cherish their comrades, what they value more is the silver in their hands.

Feng Qin stayed in the barracks, and the power of the flint gun and field artillery made him indescribably excited.

After two months of training the sergeants, he had the crazy idea of abolishing the armourers and pikemen in the army and replacing them with an all-firearms unit.

The fact that the flint gun can be used in the rain is a prerequisite for his idea to be realized.

Field artillery was provided for the convenience of movement on carts drawn by mules and horses, and with these weapons, the Qing captives could not use the firing distance of the infantry archers to threaten the guns.

If he changes the flint's fixed five-stage shooting method to a marching seven-stage shooting method, he will reduce the flint's attack rate, but will train a fleet of firearms that maintain oppressive force.

When fighting on the plains, he needed to equip some chariots to maintain the battle line and resist the onslaught of cavalry. When fighting in the mountains, he needs to have some melee soldiers.

However, if you are prepared to equip melee armor, too few of them will not be decisive, and too many of them will severely weaken the power of firearms.

The best thing to do is to take on the role of a melee pawn at the same time.

Equipping the gun with a Qi knife is the most effective solution, but there is another way, Feng Qin has been looking at the flint gun that is more than half a zhang long for the past few days.

If the flint can be used as a spear at the same time, who else in the world can stop him?

It's a crazy idea, a spear that shoots lead continuously.

However, flint guns are designed to be delicate, and they are always filled with gunpowder and lead when firing, and if a blade or a long tip is left in the front section, it will affect the reload of the gunner.

Ideally, then, would be to design a snap like a spear with a spear head, which the non-commissioned officers could place on top of the flint when close combat was required.

This requires craftsmen to further design the flint, and next year's war is afraid that it will be too late.

Now, then, he can only use the swords equipped with Qi knives as a necessary melee army.

The Tiger Squat Cannon can also swing a lot of damage in close combat.

As for the armor, on a battlefield full of flint, all the iron armor used is a burden. Unless the soldiers tied a thick iron plate to their chests.

Therefore, in the barracks of Fengqin, the pikemen were completely excluded from the ranks, and the armor soldiers took off their iron armor to participate in the flintlock shooting drill.

Horse-drawn carts carrying gunpowder and baggage were scattered in the queue, and wooden carts with iron cannons were piled with iron balls.

The Jianghuai was dominated by hills, and he could easily find terrain where he could resist cavalry.
