The militia training in Wuzhou Fucheng and Huaiji County suddenly became stricter, and the residents in both the workshop and the city found that the instructors in charge of the training no longer had the same harmony as before, and everyone did not resist much, because the news that leaked out of the instructor's mouth inadvertently made everyone honestly step up their training.

"Hou Yi is about to fight, you fucking grinding, don't blame Lao Tzu for not doing his best to train you when you die!" The instructors spitted on Xingzi's foul mouth, and there were many disguised corporal punishments, and in the two days of training every ten years, they had completely regarded them as regular military requirements. Sometimes the number of training days reaches three days every ten years, that is, one-third of a month, and the young and strong people of Wuzhou are conducting military training.

In fact, the young men in the workshop who had deserted from the army were surprised when they heard the local workers talk about the training, because in their memory, the regular army of the guard station did not have such a terrible amount of training. In fact, they are not mistaken, the elite soldiers in 100 years will only be a small exercise in three days and a major exercise in five days, which is almost the training amount of the militia in Wuzhou now.

"If you don't practice, you can't do it, the instructor talked to someone in Huaiji at night, and talked about how Hou Yi killed people in Huaiji, it wasn't a lie, it was really going to break the city...... In fact, people who don't need to be Huaiji, Fucheng has not tried to break the city before, and after entering, it's not like people can grab whatever they want? The local worker, moving his numb limbs, whispered to the worker, "At that time, everyone hid, and if they couldn't hide, they could only accept their fate. Naturally, I practiced it well, alas, this damn Hou Rebellion. Why do you have to come to plague Wuzhou? Finally, Uncle came, and life was a little better......"

The militia did not lazy anymore, except for Ding Yi's heart-to-heart talk, more importantly, they have some savings in the past six months, and they have begun to cherish their current life and are unwilling to be destroyed. And whether it's such a private workshop or Ding Yi's workshop. All of them have invisibly given birth to a class, the workers. On the whole, the obedience and discipline of the workers were better than those of the peasants. This is already a fact that has been proven in the history of mankind.

Immediately afterwards, the Wuzhou government began a new measure, that is, household registration, which was aimed at the hundreds of thousands of young people who flocked to Wuzhou. If nothing is done within half a year, the defendant will go to the yamen. Then as long as you find a guarantor of the original local household registration, you can get a temporary household registration.

Of course, having this temporary hukou means that you have to participate in militia training. And this is what these foreign young people who poured into Wuzhou are willing to do, without him, the original militia training is the privilege of the locals, but all privileges, whether good or bad, everyone wants to try to have it to see if it is cool.

Ding Yi has been prepared for this. Those who used to go to the countryside were a propaganda team composed of storytellers. All of them were recalled, and their work was carried out by the militia teams in each village, and in fact, the members of the Heaven and Earth Society and the Zhongyi Society in each village were responsible for such work. And these propaganda teams, after the militia joined the training, began to carry out brainwashing work.

The only thing that is unhappy is probably the gentry behind the workshop, but after Du Ziteng talked to them collectively, they all gritted their teeth and endured it, because Du Ziteng said very clearly: The workshop outside the city, Hou Reverse killed, if there is no militia, then your industry will be all over.

Interests, the only thing that can bring capital to its knees, is interests.

"Three months, at least three months, sir!" Li Jiangtou calculated for a long time, and when he reported to Ding Yi, he said, "60,000 rounds of ammunition, which can't be contracted to an outside workshop!" There are also a thousand breech-loading rifled rifle barrels, fifty a day, and twenty days to the left; The bolt got ...... again Plus you have to get out of the bullet groove......" He talked back and forth about the various processes involved in making a rifle, listening to Ding's head hurt.

It was Du Mu on the side, listening and remembering, and after Craftsman Li finished speaking, he saw Ding Yi looking at him, so he smiled and straightened up and said: "Uncle, if it is handed over to the disciple to do it, it should be completed in two months, according to the principle of the assembly line, there are many things that can be carried out synchronously, such as the butt, small grip, handguard and other things that Master Li said, which are all wooden, and it should not be a problem to outsource to the workshop for processing." ”

Ding nodded, but said to Craftsman Li: "Remove the guide rails on the upper and lower sides of the rifle handguard to reduce the processing process." "Because there are basically no tactical accessories to install now, and you can't even get a scope, the guide rails that Ding Yi habitually adds to the design drawings are simply decorations - tactical flashlights? I don't have any light bulbs!

"Before November, all of them must be delivered to the troops, and you must ensure that the quality is good." Ding Yi gave Du Mu a mission, not only a rifle, but also a grenade. Of course, these rifles are still black firing * drugs, because there is still no perfect solution to the rifling problem of the barrel steel and steel barrel; And the bullet is made of copper-clad low-carbon steel, "Li Jiangtou, I still don't feel at ease with this copper-clad steel, you try to test hundreds of bullets, if you are not sure, use brass." ”

Craftsman Li responded, but said again: "If copper is used, Mr. must let them get the bullet casings back, 60,000 rounds of ammunition, almost all the copper ingots we have stored will be cleared...... Alas, this is a loser, sir, you are letting the soldiers smash people with money......"

Ding Yi omitted Li Craftsman's habitual complaints, and said directly to Ding Junyue: "You have to train well in the guard battalion, mainly shooting practice and mountain climbing, Li Craftsman will give you ten rifles first, and you first familiarize them with aiming and shooting...... When I come back at the end of November, if there is still a problem with the guard battalion, you should be ready to go to the trench. ”

"Yes, sir." Ding Junyue can't find the appearance of a homeless child from two or three years ago, the war she has experienced has eliminated the superfluous things on her body little by little, in addition to her age, her behavior, she is an excellent soldier.

So Ding Yi set off, to fight Hou Dagou, it is impossible to say that he will fight, he also needs a special force of this era: Yao wolf soldiers.

Whether it is from Ding Yi's knowledge of the history of Lu Dao, the key to defeating Hou Dagou is that King Yao's wolf soldiers played the role of special forces; Or from the wolf soldiers brought back by Wen Fatzi, the skill of climbing mountain rocks is like walking on flat ground, Ding Yi can't let go of such strength.

And he was not arrogant enough to think that if he gave an order, King Yao would send troops over, he did not have more than 100,000 troops in his hands like Zhao Fu more than ten years later in history, and he also had the confidence to quell the rebellion in Yunnan. The threat formed by an army of more than 100,000 is absolutely undeniable and will make many things convenient. So Ding Yi decided to bring gifts and go to the Mengshan and Lianshan areas by himself to visit King Yao and see if he could persuade the other party to send troops.

Du Ziteng took a company, together with Wen Fatzi, who rushed back from Xiangshan County, as the escort of Ding Yi's trip, in the early morning of the third day when the scalper left Wuzhou, in the middle of late autumn, he hugged Ding Yi and left Wuzhou.

And in the Emperor's Palace in Datengxia, the scalper has not yet returned, but Hou Dagou has said to Zheng Ang meaningfully: "Ding Rongcheng will definitely not agree, Yi is not a person who can back down, I heard that the 100,000 Tartar Iron Cavalry did not frighten him, and he also achieved the name of an Apong Rakshasa, how can such people back down?" ”

Zheng Ang played with the white jade wine glass that he didn't know which state capital Lu Dao snatched from, and only after a while did he speak: "If that's the case, why did Brother Ah Gou send Ah Niu to Wuzhou?" Isn't this to teach Ding Rongcheng to know the Tao, I am going to fight him, and the stall outside the city will be prepared, wouldn't it be ...... for me to wait?"

"You underestimate the heroes of the world." Hou Dagou shook his head, hugged the women beside him, and after some ravage, slapped their buttocks vigorously and taught them to go down first, but only then did he say to Zheng Ang, "If he dares to put that stall outside the city, he has his charter, which is clear, and tempts me to wait to fight...... Listening to the report of the spies, in the shacks of those workshops, many half-cut towers were built, and someone in Thou Dangding built it for nothing? Those hexagonal, three- or four-storey half-section towers should have a special use, maybe it is the altar where he performs the Five Thunder Righteous Method, in short, it is by no means built for nothing, if I really bite that piece, I am afraid that I will break my teeth! ”

He hadn't seen it, and he didn't know that it was a miniature version of the fortress group and bunker group, nor did he know that there were secret passages under the various forts in the tunnel, and he didn't know how to rely on those fortress groups and bunker groups, even if there were no machine guns, the three-stage fire of the crossfire platoon gun was enough for the rebels to throw many corpses in that area.

But at least strategically, Hou Dagou has enough acumen that he carefully avoids possible pitfalls.

"Ding Rongcheng is a good man, there is absolutely no doubt about it, and the reputation on the rivers and lakes has never been in vain." Hou Dagou beckoned Zheng Ang to come over, but pulled him and said, "But, hehe, there are many ants who will bite the elephant to death!" Let me tell you, Ding Rongcheng will definitely go to Mengshan or Lianshan! He will definitely go to those Yao leaders and soldiers! was in Duqiao Mountain before, and later some people said, how many Mengshan Yao people were there before the war? Hey, that's probably the reinforcements that Ding Rongcheng got from the Yao leader! ”

Zheng Ang became excited when he heard it, although it was just Hou Dagou's speculation, but just like Ding Junyue superstitious about Ding, Zheng Ang was also superstitious about Hou Dagou's judgment, very simple, because he had never made a mistake, at least so far, over the years, Hou Dagou has been right: "Brother Gou! I will go to Mengshan to ambush, if Ding Rongcheng really goes to move troops, I will kill Yi! ”

"How many people do you want?" Hou Dagou let go of Zheng Ang and drank half a glass of wine before asking with a smile.

Zheng Ang thought for a while, and said to Hou Dagou: "Five hundred people are enough, he is going to move troops, it is impossible to bring many people, otherwise those Yao leaders still think that he is going to attack the cottage, at most dozens of relatives!" ”

"It's too little, you take 3,000 people!" (To be continued......)
