More than 100 Dongjiang soldiers and their commanders on the wharf wore the best armor and lined up in a neat formation to wait for Sun Chengzong's ride.

The clothes of the military households on the island are all worn and old, but every piece of them is cleanly washed; the wooden hairpins and small clothes on the women's heads have also been removed, but Huang Shi ordered them to bring flowers to each of them, so the wildflowers on Changsheng Island are considered unlucky this time; no matter how old the livestock are, they are all groomed and shiny, no matter how poor Changsheng Island is, it cannot appear demoralized, and no matter how difficult the military households are, they must be optimistic.

Huang Shi's injuries were not yet healed, standing at the forefront of the team with one arm hanging, Wu Mu stood nervously on the side, waiting for Sun Chengzong, who was dressed in military uniform, to get off the boat, and the two of them led the whole army to salute: "Lord Sun," "Mr. Sun." ”

"Gonggong Wu, General Huang Shen, no courtesy. Sun Chengzong smiled and walked in front of him, while motioning for Huang Shi to follow him.

The officials accompanying Sun Chengzong also gave up their positions, and Huang Shi said "offended" and followed, and Wu Mu could only stay at the end of the line.

Huang Shi grabbed the reins of the horse diligently, Sun Chengzong got on the horse himself, and his guards had no intention of coming to help, obviously they were all used to it, but Huang Shi, who was injured in the arm, took a lot of effort to climb onto his horse.

Sun Chengzong waited quietly until Huangshi sat down before he said lightly: "You don't have to rest, go directly to the martial arts arena." ”

The drill ground had already gathered 1,500 soldiers, and Huang Shi asked the 800 veterans to line up in formation, and then reported to Sun Chengzong: "Lord Sun, these are the last general's soldiers who dare to fight, and the remaining hundreds are still new recruits, and they have not been trained yet. ”

"Let's look at that first. Sun Chengzong nodded magnanimously and began to issue various orders, and Huang Shi translated these orders into the passwords and flags of various fire battalions, and passed them layer by layer for the soldiers to carry out.

Several formation changes were easily completed, followed by repeated advances and retreats, Sun Chengzong had no expression on his face, but the more he looked at it in his heart, the more strange it became, and it was deliberately dragged on for a long time. It was repeated dozens of times before and after, and the Ming army on the training ground was still waving its flags, and not a single spear in Rulin was scattered.

“...... The whole army rushed forward to kill the enemy...... Kill the enemy cavalry on the left side...... Kill the enemy infantry on the right side...... The two wings were outflanked at the same time...... "Sun Chengzong finally changed to a simulated battle situation, Huangshi calmly followed the corresponding orders, and the various teams and units of the fire battalion responded like an arm and a finger under the command of the officer......

This kind of simulated drill continued for a while, and Huang Shi felt that Sun Chengzong was gradually taking on some troublesome meaning, and he used the three modern armies to complete the simple but absolutely invincible and fancy queue transformation for the feudal army: the whole army turned forward and backward and left and right; the team officer raised his arm to guide the whole team of 400 people to rotate neatly with him as the axis; and the last one was two infantry teams jumping forward quickly and alternately, and the soldiers with guns advanced with a jogging degree, and in the sound of waist drums, their left and right steps were not disorderly, and they always maintained a dense phalanx formation.

After finishing the battle, Huang Shi turned around and bowed calmly, he believed that Sun Chengzong understood what this queue change meant on the battlefield, Sun Chengzong pondered for a long time before letting Huang Shi calm down: "General Huang Shen is a good soldier! Very good, let the soldiers rest." ”

"Kill. Eight hundred soldiers roared angrily in the direction of Sun Chengzong and Huangshi, and then were led down by the officers who led the team.

The other accompanying officials were startled by the last thunderous shout, Sun Chengzong's face was already full of approval, and after a slight pause, he casually pointed to a soldier and called: "Let him come." ”

The soldier stood straight in front of Sun Chengzong and turned around a few more times according to the order.

"Most of General Huang's soldiers have helmets?"

"Lord Huisun, the last general has captured a lot in a few battles, so he has thousands of iron helmets and more than a thousand pairs of armor. ”

"Well, bring him his gun. ”

The soldier's nine-foot spear was looked at again and again by Sun Chengzong: "This spear is very good, was it built by General Huang Shen?"

"Hui Sun's words were created by the last general to restrain the Jiannu charge. ”

"How many have been built?"

"There are 1,500 of them, and we can build 200 more per month in the future. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and returned the gun to the little soldier, and when the little soldier returned to the team, he said in a deep voice: "Then, let's go and see the Bird Gun Team again." ”

When shooting, Sun Chengzong immediately saw that this was not a standard bird gun, but a fire gun built by Changsheng Island itself. After Huang Shi asked the soldiers to reload the medicine and ammunition, he planned to hold the stick for him, but Sun Chengzong waved his hand away, and he played a lot in one breath to get used to the recoil of the firebolt, and finally began to check the power of the firebolt after hitting the target.

After looking at the smashed target card for a long time, Sun Chengzong asked: "If it hits, don't say that the person is killed, the horse is also killed, right?"

"Master Sun Mingjian, even the cow was killed. "The shooting and penetration of the breech gun cannot be compared with the breech gun, and if the torso is hit, it generally cannot penetrate, so all the energy of the projectile will be transferred to the human body, like a sledgehammer to smash the internal organs.

Sun Chengzong gently put the firecracker on the ground, pondered for a while, and then asked, "How many blacksmiths are there on Immortal Island, and how did you produce so many firecrackers and spears so quickly?"

"Returning to Lord Sun's words, the Ministry of Industry allocated ten blacksmiths to the last general, and each craftsman could make one pipe or two spear blades every day. ”

This efficiency made Sun Chengzong gasp: "Is it 600 spears or 300 firecrackers a month?" The slave craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry always work without effort, and they can produce a few bird guns in a month, and ninety percent of them are waste.

Huang Shi smiled and said, "Of course not, because you still have to repair the armor and build a helmet." As he spoke, a soldier handed over a new variety of helmet from Changsheng Island, which had holes in the ears and could be put on a mask with two iron bolts. This mask is a curved iron ring that protects the cheeks and nose.

When Sun Chengzong was playing with the new helmet, Huang Shi briefly introduced the white-armored soldiers he encountered in the previous battle: "Jiannu is vicious, and the arrow always shoots directly at the door of our sergeant's face, and the middle one will die, so the last general designed this iron ring to protect the soldier's face." ”

"General Huang Shen really loves soldiers like a son. Sun Chengzong sighed.

"The last general's subordinates and Jiannu have a deep enmity like the sea, even if they hold wooden sticks, they will ask Jiannu to repay the blood debt, but the last general hopes that these children can return to their homeland in Liaodong alive, so they always try their best to let their subordinates achieve the advantages of the army. ”

Sun Chengzong chucked slightly: "General Huang probably doesn't know, Tang Taizong once said: 'I can use one to ten, without him, a strong soldier is sharp'." General Huang's words are secretly in line with the ancient law and win my heart. Before he knew it, his name for Yellowstone had changed.

"Lord Sun has won the award, the last general has already cast two cannons, do you want to take a look?"

"And cannons?" Sun Chengzong was even more surprised: "How much military salary did General Huang receive?"

"Lord Huisun, the last general will be 15,000 taels, and there will be 10,000 imperial rewards. ”

"Twenty-five thousand taels...... You didn't go down, did you?"

"No, the last general just let the soldiers eat well, the last general's subordinates are all Liaodong children, they are in the army to regain their homeland, not just for military salaries, besides, what is the use of silver on this island?"

"Children of Liaodong, take back your homeland, it's good......" The other departments of the Dongjiang Army are also children of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong traveled all the way, and the rest of the departments are like called Huazi, "...... Where did the tens of thousands of military salaries and imperial rewards of Lushun and Guanglu go?" Sun Chengzong seemed to be talking to himself.

Huang Shi, who was standing on the side, was secretly proud in his heart, Zhao Slow Xiong's strategy was to do the opposite, the imperial court only gave Huang Shi more than 20,000 taels, and he got such a strong army, wouldn't the efficiency of giving silver to Changsheng Island ten times that of others?

Sun Chengzong raised his head sharply and shouted: "Let's go, take this scripture to see the cannon." ”

After seeing the cannon, Huang Shi led Sun Chengzong to inspect the craftsmen and the water camp, and finally took him to see the sea ships on Heidao.

The general's subordinates also collected deer skins, sea cucumbers, and medicinal herbs, all of which were transported to Japan by this sea ship and sold, and could be exchanged for thousands of taels of silver every two months. ”

Sun Chengzong casually asked while visiting the sea vessels with great interest: "Oh, why don't you sell them to Dengzhou? ”

"Master Sun Mingjian, a piece of deer skin can only be sold for five taels of silver, and it can be sold for fifteen taels in Japan. ”

Sun Chengzong nodded: "It's just a little harder." ”

"Lord Sun is wise. Huang Shi took the opportunity to introduce the difficulties of some seafarers, and he casually picked up a fish that was resting in the bucket: "Lord Sun, please see, these fish were deliberately placed in this bucket, waiting for them to stink." ”

Sun Chengzong smiled slightly, signaling Huang Shi to continue.

"When the ship goes out to sea, soon the stored meat will stink, and after the maggots grow, you will have to use the fish in this bucket to get rid of maggots," Huang Shi said that when Sun Chengzong's entourage said this, Sun Chengzong's entourage had already changed color, but Sun Chengzong's smile still did not change, and Huang Shi, who was encouraged, continued: "Put a stinky fish in the meat bucket, and soon it will be crawling with maggots. ”

This is one of the navigation tips of the Age of Discovery, and the officials accompanying Sun Chengzong turned pale one by one, and one of the officials couldn't help but vomit on the boat. Sun Chengzong's smile gradually faded, he walked to the barrel and looked at it, and shook his head: "General Huang, you said that you can exchange it for 1,000 taels of silver every two months?"

"Yes, Master Sun. ”

Sun Chengzong laughed twice, and suddenly shouted: "Where are those sailors of General Huang? ”
