There are not many houses in the village, Zhu Jun alone occupies seven, except for a small number of ministers at the level of Shangshu, most of them do not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, fortunately, the climate in Myanmar is hot, and now it is the turn of spring and summer, and the night is not cold, but it is not a way to go on like this, under the overall planning of Mu Tianbo, all the remnants began to build simple houses.

There are only Zhu Jun and an older official who have nothing to do, Zhu Jun is the dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, although he has a bad reputation, but this kind of rough work is definitely not his turn, and those older officials can't pick up their shoulders or hands, and they can't go there to add chaos, maybe they will be in trouble if they sprain their muscles and bones.

Zhu Jun began to think about the army, whether he could save his life or even recover the Ming Dynasty The most important link is the army, Zhang Youde's 2,000-person guard army Zhu Jun has reviewed, in his eyes, these people are better than the peasants carrying wooden sticks, the biggest drawback is that these people are all military households inherited from generation to generation, the older ones are old men in their fifties, and the younger ones are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, so that these people go to fight with the Manchurians who have been skilled in bows and horses since they were children are basically no different from sending them to death.

Zhu Jun resolutely drew out middle-aged people over 30 years old and teenagers under 16 years old in his plan, he wanted a vigorous elite soldier, and he never needed to be indiscriminately old and weak.

In this way, Zhu Jun estimated that the 2,000-strong guard army could only have a thousand people left at most, although the number was small, but under the high-intensity training, the combat power might be able to increase several times, and those old and weak would become a burden if they participated in high-intensity training, so Zhu Jun cleared it very thoroughly.

The next is to set military regulations, the original military regulations are obviously not usable, there are many disadvantages of the military system of the Ming Guard, almost every guard is the commander of one person, it is even more than the emperor of the soil, if the commander is not pleasing to you, you will be punished with twenty military sticks if you spit casually, if he looks up to you, even if you go out to rob, the commander can also protect you from the magistrate, so Zhu Jun intends to set up a military rule that everyone must abide by, this military regulation must not only be easy to understand, And it can clean up discipline.

Zhu Jun was quite neat in this regard, and after pondering for a while, he pinched the brush and wrote dozens of pieces on the rice paper, and before he could put down the pen, a voice came from outside the door.

"Little Guizi, is the emperor in the house?"

"Yo, it turned out to be Mu Xiaogong, do you want to see the emperor? I'm going to report it. ”

This is not comparable to the Forbidden City of Beijing, the voice outside the door has already reached Zhu Jun's ears through the thatch that does not shelter from the wind and rain, he straightened his clothes, coughed and said in a deep voice: "Is it Mu Jianming?" Come on in. ”

Mu Jianming is the young man who greeted Zhu Jun last time, Zhu Jun later learned that he was Mu Tianbo's grandson, the heir of the Yunnan Qianguo family, dancing with guns and sticks all day long, but he has the image of an idle swinger, but I don't know what he came to find him, Zhu Jun is still generous to the Mu family, he gently threw the brush on the side of the case, and looked at the white young man who entered the house with a pleasant face.

"Weichen Mu Jianming see Your Majesty." Mu Jianming saluted, and before Zhu Jun could let him get up, he kowtowed heavily and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is here to ask for an order." ”

"Get up and talk first." Zhu Jun was still not used to the fact that there were always people kneeling in front of him, and his expression was quite embarrassed.

"Weichen wanted to join the camp and join the army, but Commander Zhang didn't agree." Mu Jianming stood up and said.

After talking for a while, Zhu Jun knew the cause and effect, although the Longjiang Right Guard led by Zhang Youde was the only army in the remnants of the army, but because the commander of the guard was only a military attache of the third grade, his status was low, and Mu Jianming was the prince of Qianguo, even if he met the chief military officer of the first grade, he did not need to salute, but Mu Jianming was good at martial arts, and always wanted to enter the camp to fight on the battlefield, that Zhang Youde was just a small military attache of the third grade, how could he dare to recruit him into the camp, so whenever Mu Jianming made this request, Zhang Youde was always yang and yin, and he was polite on the surface, but he didn't let go, so Mu Jianming thought of finding Zhu Jun to make a personal decree in a fit of anger.

Zhu Jun smiled, he knew that the reason why Zhang Youde didn't dare to recruit Mu Jianming into the camp was actually a little bit of a concern, for fear that Mu Jianming would rob him of the position of commander in the future, after all, Mu Jianming was the son of the country, such a power, as long as he made a small contribution, someone would naturally secretly carry it.

"It seems that this military system is also going to be changed." Zhu Jun thought in his heart, and said to Mu Jianming: "It's easy for you to enter the camp, tell me what skills you have." ”

"Ministers know guns and sticks, and they have been familiar with the military since childhood." Mu Jianming's face was slightly flushed, and he replied with a little excitement.

Zhu Jun smiled: "This is nothing, General Zhang Youde's fashionable generals and soldiers can be everyone, what use do I want you to go?" ”

"The retainer will use the musket." Mu Jianming said again.

Zhu Jun was stunned, and then he remembered that the difference between the musket and the modern musket that Mu Jianming said was 108,000 miles, although the musket was still an advanced weapon in this era, but for Zhu Jun, it was not of much use, he smiled and shook his head and said: "It is not unusual to make a musket, I am not rare." ”

Mu Jianming was anxious: "Your Majesty, the musket is powerful, the Mu family used the musket to subdue the natives when they were in Yunnan, and even the war elephants of the natives fled under the three-stage blow, isn't this still a good thing?" ”

Zhu Jun was stunned when he heard the three-stage strike, and it took a long time to return to normal, and he asked casually: "What is the three-stage strike, you and I will talk about it." ”

Mu Jianming saw that the emperor was interested, and hurriedly said: "When dealing with the war elephants of the natives, the soldiers can be divided into three groups, one group shoots, and the other two groups are loaded and ignited. By firing in this way, and then protecting the wings with swordsmen, the natives' war elephants could collapse before they could rush to the front of the formation. ”

Zhu Jun almost fainted with excitement, he didn't expect that there was a long-range tactic of three-stage shooting in the Ming Dynasty, what he didn't know was that as early as the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Jianming's ancestor Mu Ying invented three-stage shooting to deal with the war elephants of the natives, hundreds of years earlier than the West.

A hundred years later, this shooting tactic has been greatly promoted in the West, and it can be seen in the history of modern warfare in the West.

The appearance of muskets and three-stage shooting tactics made this set of tactics of the Mongolian cavalry history, but this tactic of cross-era significance was casually said by a prodigal like Mu Jianming, which shocked Zhu Jun a lot.

Although it can't be applied to the musket for the time being, it should also be able to use this tactic after the crossbow is equipped, Zhu Jun's heart is surging, but he pretends to be casual and says to Mu Jianming: "I don't see any good in this, but you are the son of the Duke of Qianguo, I will let you enter the camp to be a centurion first, and in a few days you will enter the camp with me, and I will intercede with Commander Zhang for you." ”

The most effective way to deal with this kind of stubborn prodigal is to provoke the general. Sure enough, as Zhu Jun expected, Mu Jianming was very angry when he heard that he was in the face of Qianguo Gong, but he thought that he was about to open and join the army, so he tried his best to hold back.

"We must let the emperor see the power of our Mu family's three-stage combined attack, and we can't be underestimated by him." Mu Jianming thought in his heart, so he said: "If the emperor is fine, the minister will retire." ”

On the beach of the earthen tile boundary, the rolling waves constantly beat the willow side of the ship, the sky was terrible, and the dark sea water was restless rippling on the sea, which was a precursor to the coming storm.

"Bald, quickly put down the anchor, what about Liu Er at the helm, I'll poke his mother, where did the person die, melon scoop, you come to the top first, Lao Tzu has to chop Liu Er's seed." A one-eyed man with a single knife was firmly held to the mast in the waves, and cursed loudly, at this time, anyone on the ship who dropped the chain would be doomed.

"The big boss, the land in front of it, is Dawei City, I see Dawei City." Someone yelled excitedly in the wind and rain.

"Okay, don't break anchor, Sanwazi, you go and throw the ballast stone out, let's go ashore at full speed to avoid the wind and rain, survive this while, everyone has a reward, if anyone is playing tricks behind his back and misunderstands Lao Tzu's business, don't blame Lao Tzu for not being emotional." One-eyed is wearing a short coat, and his face is full of anger.

Abandoning the ballast stone at this time is a very risky action, in large waves, the ballast stone can maintain the stability of the hull, once abandoned, this medium-sized armed ship will not last long before capsizing. But abandoning the ballast would speed up the ship, and One-Eye, an experienced pirate, decided to take a gamble almost reflexively, and if he could get ashore before the storm came, the lives of the entire ship would be saved.

The whistling sea breeze blew the bronze skin on One-Eye's face, and the waves rushed to the deck one after another, faintly intensifying, under his command, the big ship rushed towards the coastline quickly, but One-Eye did not stop, he saw Liu Er, the helmsman who had escaped from the battle, huddled in the corner of the cabin and shivered.

"Poke your mother, I was finally caught by Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu picked your skin." The one-eyed grinning smiled and walked towards Liu Er with a single knife.

"The great boss spares my life, I have a cold attack, and my whole body has lost my strength when the sea breeze blows, so I have come here to rest for the time being, and I have no intention of dragging down the brothers."

Without waiting for Liu Er to explain, One-Eye's hand had already taken up and fell, and the heavy single knife cut a half-arc in mid-air, but it slashed into the air with a bang, because One-Eye's force was too strong, the single knife didn't have time to regain momentum, and slashed heavily into the cabin wood. Liu Er rolled to the deck on the spot, and took advantage of this gap to jump into the dark ocean at once.

"Phew! If you dodge Lao Tzu's knife, can you survive this big wave? Go into the water and feed the king. One-Eyed spat out thick phlegm viciously.

With this play, the other sailors were much more nimble, and no one dared to be idle anymore.
