It is not enough to have muskets, but also artillery and artillery, as well as transport and livestock attached to them.

Because of the different performance and equipment ratio of the new firearms, the new army trained by Qin Rongshuai did not use the same tactics as the Qi family's army, and needed to start over.

Do you want to equip spearmen and sword and shield soldiers?

How much is appropriate?

Do musketeers need to carry knives?

These are all problems faced by the instructor corps, and a little attempt will have to test how much effect it will have through actual combat.

Now Qin Rongshuai needs time the most, and he also needs a piece of land to farm, which can be used to solve the problems of military salaries and firearms manufacturing.

Tongzhou is definitely not good, it is too close to the capital, there is something moving here, and the capital will know the next day.

Originally, he wanted to go to Jin Province, there is an iron mine near Lingqiu, and he can train his troops while practicing steel.

But the blue sky that Jin Province was taken care of by him was three feet high, and Ma Chengen was severely pitted by him again, and Jin Province couldn't go.

Liaodong is the most suitable, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there are a large number of mineral deposits, iron ore, coal mines, timber, gold mines, and land are very rich.

Unfortunately, it is still the territory of Jianyu.

It was not until May that the atmosphere in Tongzhou began to become tense, and soldiers and horses mobilized from all over the country arrived and assembled one after another.

The first to arrive was the 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers led by Qi Jiguang's nephew Qi Jin, which was the last remnant of the Qi family's army, and it was also a semi-firearms army. The most obvious difference between the Zhejiang soldiers is that the marching army carried countless carts in the columns.

These carts can be loaded with grain, grass, ordnance, and munitions when marching, and can be enclosed as a camp when stationed. When encountering the enemy, the vehicle forms a circular defensive position, and the artillery is mounted on the vehicle, and the soldiers use the vehicle as a cover to release the artillery gun, which is the famous vehicle formation tactic.

After the Zhejiang soldiers were stationed, several old men of the Qi family army also went to visit Qi Jin, talked to each other, and gave Qin Rongshuai some gifts, so the relationship between the two sides became closer.

A few days later, another group of soldiers and horses came to Tongzhou, and these soldiers and horses were dressed differently from other Ming troops, wearing iron armor and a layer of thick cotton.

He carried a white-rod hook sickle on his shoulder, an iron ring at the tail of the gun, and a variety of secondary weapons with swords, axes, and sticks at his waist.

When marching, the army was neat and high-spirited, with a fierce atmosphere.

This is the white pole soldier under the command of General Qin Liangyu of the Sichuan Army, but Qin Liangyu did not come, it was her brother Qin Bangping and Qin Banghan who arrived earlier, and her younger brother Qin Minping led the team

Qin Bangping, the leader, is a general who is nearly fifty years old, short and stout, and his mouth is Sichuan-Chongqing dialect, "Engage in shoveling, Ge is Tongzhou?" ”

The soldier in charge of the reception, Wailang, was responsible for receiving the Sichuan soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers, but as a result, the northern staff couldn't understand the dialects on both sides at all.

When facing Qi Jin, he could still communicate in official dialect, but when he got to the people below, it was completely like a chicken and a duck, and the language was not understood, so there was no way to communicate.

Here, Qin Rongshuai was about to swing the dragon gate array with Qin Bangping, when he suddenly heard a burst of cannons, and he was immediately startled.

Just when he was about to order the whole army to be on alert, someone from outside came to report that there was friction between the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies because of the station, and then a fight broke out.

Qin Rongshuai's face suddenly darkened, and he immediately ordered to gather the new army and bring the guys to persuade him.

Before I got to the place, I heard a shout of killing and the roar of gunfire.

The sound of dense fire continued continuously, and every now and then a shell flew over and crashed directly into the nearby house.

This scene shocked Qin Rongshuai and thought that he had arrived at the battlefield, and saw that the surroundings were in a mess.

Most of the houses that were hit were damaged or collapsed on the spot, and from time to time people were injured by mistake, and their flesh and blood fell to the ground in a blur, and the wails rang out.

The two armies of Sichuan and Zhejiang fought hotly, and the two sides fought more and more vigorously, without any regard for the lives of innocent people.

Qin Rong gritted his teeth handsomely and roared, "Second battalion commander, pull your Italian cannon up!" Fuck me, these bastards! ”

The well-trained new army immediately withdrew several cannons and aimed them in the middle of the two armies, and when they were ready, there was a salvo.

The two sides were fighting lively, and they were taken aback by the sudden appearance of dense artillery.

Then I heard a thunderous cry, "Hit! Hit ™! ”

"Keep fighting! Take me one! ”

"New Army Artillery, aim at the car formation!"

"Qi Jin! Qin Bangping! I'll give you a quarter of an hour, if you don't stop, I'll smash you two to pieces!" ”

Then, the new army surrounded both sides, and there was a posture of encirclement and beating if they did not agree with each other.

Seeing that the new army was well-organized, numerous, and had countless muskets and artillery, the two sides knew that it was not easy to provoke, so the two sides gradually ceased fire.

Xu Guangqi hurried over when he heard the movement, and when he saw the fire and the death and injury of both sides at the scene, and countless houses were blown up, he was immediately furious in the face of such a tragic situation.

Call the generals of both sides together, and without saying a word, each play fifty boards, and then go to the court to ask for instructions on how to send it.

Both sides were very unconvinced, thinking that Xu Guangqi was biased towards the other party, and then quarreled again.

Qin Rongshuai came to listen with a hundred new army musketeers with a gloomy face, Qi Jin and Qin Bangping suddenly shook hands and made peace, and just now they were red-faced, and in the blink of an eye, they smiled and hated.

After teaching the two of them a lesson, Xu Guangqi coaxed them away.

Qin Rongshuai frowned, "Lord Xu, there is a quarrel on both sides, which is not conducive to the future combat cooperation, do you want them to stay in the pass, how about I take the new army to Liaodong?" ”

Xu Guangqi shook his head, "It is impossible for the two armies of Sichuan and Zhejiang to go back when they arrive, you must know that this battle of Liaodong has a reward for silver, if you don't let them go, it will cut off their financial route, and it will be even more ugly when the trouble comes." ”

As soon as Qin Rongshuai heard this, he no longer mentioned the matter of driving away the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies, and talked about some trivial matters of official business, as well as the regulations for the resettlement of the affected victims.

After the discussion, as soon as Qin Rongshuai returned to the barracks, someone came to report that Qi Jin was here.

As soon as Qi Jin came in, his face was full of spring breeze, and he and Qin Rongshuai had a long relationship, and it took a while to explain his intentions.

This guy is also poisonous, and when he found that Qin Rongshuai's new musket was different, he came to ask if he wanted to buy some.

Qin Rongshuai immediately refused, of course he couldn't sell something like a flintlock pistol to others, Qi Jin left with some displeasure.

Who knew that in the evening, they came to report that some people in the New Army had lost muskets one after another, and there were quite a few of them, more than a dozen of them.

Qin Rongshuai was immediately furious, he lost the musket at this juncture, he was not a fool, of course he understood the trick.

The soldiers who had lost their muskets were arrested, and after a period of torture, the soldiers confessed that they were greedy for money and sold their muskets to the officers of the Zhejiang soldiers for twenty taels each.

Qin Rongshuai immediately ordered the soldiers who sold muskets to be beheaded for public display, and then counted the firearms in the camp, and found that there were cases of missing muskets, and the number was not much, only four or five.

But the most serious was the munitions depot, and after the inventory, it was found that more than 30 muskets were missing, and then Lu Wenzhao's instructors were involved in the investigation.

Qin Rongshuai held back his anger and whipped these people, and kicked them all back to the capital to be dealt with by Lu Wenzhao.

At this point, Qin Rongshuai made up his mind, strictly disciplined the military, and stayed as far away from the Zhejiang soldiers as he could.

At the end of May, the imperial court issued an official letter to the Tongzhou soldiers, pleaded with the generals of both sides, and fined them for one year without pain, and then urged them to rush to Liaodong.

Qin Rongshuai was already impatient to wait, so he pulled out the camp first and rushed to Liaodong seven days earlier than the other two armies.

At this time, the Liaodong Economic Strategy was Xiong Tingbi, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and when he was actively rectifying the defense of Liaodong, he had to deal with the impeachment in the imperial court, and he was very busy, obviously five years younger than Xu Guangqi, and looked older than Xu Guangqi.

Qin Rongshuai forwarded the official documents of the imperial court and Xu Guangqi's letters, and then went to find the arranged station and set up camp by himself.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai found that the soldiers and horses of Liaozhen nearby treated them very coldly, which made him a little confused.

In the following days, he was mainly engaged in the training of the new army, and he had to raise all kinds of military baggage, and he was so busy that it was dark, and then he felt more and more that he needed a staff think tank.

It's a pity that there are no useful talents under his command except for a group of system soldiers who cut people, and he suddenly felt anxious.

At this time, the night did not bring another news to himself.

The Zhejiang soldiers led by Qi Jin arrived, and they fought with the Jiliao soldiers stationed in the local area.

Qin Rongshuai was speechless, this is endless, right?
