"Master! But it's time to fire a musket? Those puppies in Xishan are always dangling in front of me, saying that the guns are good, so let's get a batch too! And the foreign knife, although it is not very strong, but the knife is fast!

Father! You want to match me with these, Yunnan's green battalion soldiers, Lao Wei has done a good job for you. ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to make a compilation, Wei Huozi started a small abacus again, and these people under his command practiced hard for more than four months, but there were a few cubs from Xishan who came to help, and they were called a prickly person.

"Hmmm! That's right. This time, there are not only foreign guns, foreign knives, but also foreign artillery, things are given to you, you have to carefully practice for Lao Tzu.

This gun! You can hit it when you lift it, and you have to hit it accurately. What a cannon! If you put it up, it has to be able to put it, and it has to be loud.

How to train the soldiers, Lao Tzu is not clear, Lao Tzu's foreign master will come over to help, let the cubs shut their mouths to Lao Tzu, which one dares to go out and talk nonsense, the guillotine knife is not merciful. ”

The three ships of munitions transported from Guangzhou were still pressed in the Grange in Yiliang, and the technicians who made gunpowder and shells were given to the academy. Because of the matter in western Yunnan, Yang Meng ignored this matter.

Firearms are no better than other things, Yang Meng doesn't come back, no one dares to arrange them randomly, and the things have been kept in the barn of the grange!

"Master's foreign master, what should I call it? Is it called Grandpa Yang? ”

When he heard that there was still a foreign master, Wei Huozi didn't know what to do.

"Fuck off, Grandpa Yang! I haven't heard you call grandpa yet! I didn't see it! Your camel's backbone is still soft! ”

For foreigners, Yang Meng has more bad feelings than good feelings, Wei Huozi called so. Can't you get into trouble?

"Master! I was wrong. This matter is revealed. How do you tell the cubs when the foreign devil comes? ”

"Bullshit foreign devils, if you want to call Master Ge, that's Lao Tzu's person, just like the steward in Zhuangzi! For the following, it is the Uyghurs hired from Ili.

Take my brothers to Zhuangzi tonight, you have worked hard in the past few months, Lao Tzu, please invite you. The guard on this side of the camp can't be relaxed, and make something delicious to eat and drink for the cubs. ”

When I heard that the third master was going to have a treat. Wei Huozi's eyes also lit up, although the food and meat and vegetables have been enough in the past few months, but there is not a drop of this wine, and it is time to drink it happily today.

That night, Yang Meng took Wei Huozi, Ge Shiyang and his own group of uncles and brothers back to Yiliang Manor, and after a big feast, Ge Shiyang, a foreign master, was also familiar with Wei Huozi and others.

In the past few days, I haven't drunk too much wine, three glasses per person, and there is no more. After the banquet, the group went to the barn where the munitions were stored.

"Go up to a few people. Open the sacks and wooden boxes and let Master Ge take a look. The merchants in Milicon sold me all the stuff. ”

This batch of munitions is on the path of Millican, and eighty percent of the things are still obsolete, but you have to listen to Ge Shiyang's opinion on whether to use them or not.

For nearly half an hour, Ge Shiyang had seen most of the munitions, and the foreign master's face became cold.

"My lord, most of these guns have been used for decades or even hundreds of years, and although they can be used, they are definitely not good things.

Most of the muskets are English brown beth, this flintlock smoothbore gun, has been used for more than a hundred years, the performance is okay, but compared with the most advanced firing guns, brown beth's rate of fire is a little slow, and the accuracy is also a lot worse, although most of these brown besses are made in England, but many of them are simple products made by the East India Company.

The artillery was Millican's three-pounder gun, and although it was light, the range was too short and the operation was complicated, and it was of little use in field combat. The only two six-pounder guns, too heavy! Yunnan is a mountainous place, and transportation is very inconvenient. ”

Ge Shiyang's explanation was not much different from Yang Meng's guess, the six-pounder cannon was still good, and this Milican was still somewhat honest.

"Master Ge, the operation of this artillery is roughly the same! I use these three-pounder guns, can I train artillerymen? ”

This is what Yang Meng is most concerned about, it is not important that the weapons are backward, the most important thing is to use the old weapons, learn the use of the new weapons, and make them yourself if they can't do it.

"Of course you can, whether it's a brown beth or a three-pounder cannon, the usage is not much different from the most advanced weapons, as long as you can use these weapons, those advanced weapons can also be used."

Yang Meng's question also made Ge Shiyang's heart lively, although he was not very old, his vision was extremely sharp, and he could see through the essence of things at once.

"Master Ge, as you said, if I buy the skills to manufacture these backward weapons, is there any hope?"

"There should be hope, as long as you buy some patents, it's fine, the barriers to manufacturing these backward weapons are not particularly large, and the technology of European countries is almost the same, and one patent for one country can be used together."

Ge Shiyang's words made Yang Meng's eyes light up, and he had also instructed Guangzhou before to pay attention to the introduction of some techniques, if this patent can be purchased, then his steps can be even bigger.

"Buying a patent...... Not bad! Master Ge, look at these muskets and artillery, this is the list. How should we organize the army, how should the guns be distributed, in three days, you and Mr. Wei will come up with a plan. ”

Skipping the issue of patents, Yang Meng handed Ge Shiyang the list of munitions sent from Guangzhou, how to compile the remaining 5,000 people in his hands, Yang Meng didn't count, what a single-shot musket looked like on the battlefield, he hadn't really seen it, and now he could only rely on Ge Shiyang, a halfway foreign revolutionary party.

"My lord, these rifles are messy, you have to choose, and the artillery cart also needs to be assembled, I can help with these."

Ge Shiyang is not a professional soldier after all, and he doesn't pay attention to big things, but pays attention to these small things.

"It doesn't matter! Naturally, someone will do it. Master Ge, do you understand the configuration of gunpowder? ”

Seeing these munitions, Yang Meng remembered the gunpowder workshop that Pan Shicheng got over there, and this gunpowder was an important thing. Techniques cannot be held in the hands of foreigners. I have to train a group of my own technicians.

"Learn a little. But not proficient. ”

Ge Shiyang is stronger than Wei Wu in this point, yes or no, no, there is no ambiguous statement.

"There is a small gunpowder workshop near Minghu Academy, you pay attention, when you go back to discuss the establishment with Mr. Wei, let Mr. Wei select some talents, and you can set the selection criteria. It must be within three to five months. Let them be proficient in the process of making gunpowder. ”

Sent Wei Huozi and Ge Shiyang away, Yang Meng returned to his small courtyard, Lian'er was very well-behaved, and served Yang Meng with Tang Meiyi to wash up, and was about to drive people away with a red face.

"Master, you will stay in Sister Meiyi's room tonight!"

"What's the matter? I've been busy for a few months, and you're still alive? ”

I haven't seen her for a few months, Lian'er's fair face has taken on a healthy color, and her spirit is much better than when she first came to Yunnan. It seems that there are still benefits to practicing some fists and kicks.

"It's inconvenient for people to come here. Don't ask, shame on you! ”

Lian'er ran to the back room with a sigh of disgust, Xiao Nizi still has a tender face, this even shy and disgusted look, this coke spoiled Yang Meng.

"It's not early, Mei Yi, you should stay here too!"

Yang Meng, who has experienced a lot of things recently, and has never felt tired, also feels a little tired, there are still big things to be busy in the past few days, and some things still need to be controlled.

"Master, you've grown a beard!"

I didn't see it clearly when I was washing last night, but when I got up this morning, I saw the fine black beard on my husband's lips through the morning light.

"Hey! Say what? Ye is not a person around the emperor, how can he not grow a beard? Hurry up and get dressed, let's go out and box. ”

patted Lian'er, and the energetic Yang Meng also got up, and in a few months, the inner door of Yangzu was also intermittent, and he lived up to the kindness of his uncle.

With Lian'er and Tang Meiyi, Yang Meng also took a look at the actions of the two, Lian'er can be regarded as having a momentum, Tang Meiyi has already entered the door, it seems that the old man has spent a lot of effort.

"Not bad! Lian'er, Meiyi, the two of you will stick to it in the future, and it will be good for you to fight the inner boxing often. ”

"Master, are you going to be home again? I've just come back! ”

Lian'er's little girl is a quirky girl, and as soon as she heard her husband's words, she knew that she was going to leave again.

"You girl, you've been staying in Yiliang recently. No way! The rise and fall of the Yang family and the Pan family are all carried on my bitter Ha Luha, I don't go out to work, let's wait to drink the wind? ”

patting the little girl's head, Yang Meng took his subordinates and went straight to Minghu Academy.

In the past, there was no conclusion, Yang Meng didn't often haunt the academy, but now that he has a goal, this academy needs to come often.

When I arrived at the academy, the students had just finished their morning class and were getting ready for dinner!

"Third Master!"

Seeing Yang Meng's arrival, these students had some courtesy this time, and stood on the side of the road one by one to salute Yang Meng.

"How have you been doing at the academy lately? Can you have enough food? Can the family be stable? Let's talk while eating! ”

Yang Meng also calculated the time, and he was happy and bitter! This is the best way to enhance the relationship. Speaking of food, clothing and family, the faces of the surrounding students showed gratitude, and this time it was not in vain.

White porridge, side dishes, simply ate a breakfast, Yang Meng heard all gratitude, it seems that Wei Wu has done a good job in the past few months.

After breakfast, Yang Meng was stopped by the red-eyed Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang, and now this Ge Shiyang also has a new identity, he is a Uyghur gentleman invited by the academy in Yili.

"Third master, the compilation has come out, can you come and take a look?"

"So fast? I said that you are not too young to do this, and you must not die of exhaustion after doing this? ”

Looking at this situation, the two of them were not idle last night, and this matter was done by Ge Shiyang.

"Hey! ……”

glanced at Ge Shiyang angrily, Wei Wu was also helpless, he was so old at this age, he would run out of oil in three or five years, Ge Shiyang, a devil, was obviously taking the opportunity to take revenge.

"The army is a major matter, and we dare not slack off."

Ge Shiyang bowed his head, but he had the appearance of a deputy courtier.

"There are a lot of things going on in Yunnan, let's take our time step by step! You can't become a fat man by eating in one bite, and there are a lot of miscellaneous things! Do less of this kind of work in the future. ”

Yunnan is a mess, most of the imperial court, the government, the mountain people, and the merchants have to be settled, Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang's position is pivotal for a period of time, and it is their own loss if they are tired.

"Xie Sanye is compassionate!"

"My lord, this is what we should do."

Wei Ge and the others also didn't get on it, which was not a bad thing for Yang Meng, so he let it go.

When they arrived at a lecture hall, Wei Wu spread out a piece of paper and began to explain to Yang Meng that the two of them had come up with the new army formation overnight.

"Third master, this new army is under the name of the epidemic prevention battalion, so this specific establishment is still based on the green battalion, with a flood under the battalion, a sentry under the flood, and a squad under the sentry.

A battalion of 5,000 men and horses is divided into five floods with 1,000 people per flood, 3,000 infantry soldiers in three floods, 1,000 people in the horse army, and 1,000 artillery troops in one flood. Each flood is divided into ten squads, and each sentry has ten squads of 100 people, and each squad has ten people.

The third master is a general and battalion officer, and recently donated a garrison to Wei Huozi, and the other personnel have no official positions. I don't know what the third master thinks of such a compilation method? ”

The private army of the Yang family has always been built according to the establishment of the green battalion and according to Ge Shiyang's Laoshzi regimental battalion, but I am afraid that the soldiers will not know what is going on and leak the foundation of the Yang family.
