CHAPTER XXXI
Li Xiao regretted that he had summoned so many people at once, and there would always be all kinds of people when there were too many people. It's too late to get rid of those scourges. When they are really connected and have generated forces, it will be difficult to clear them.
The brothers of Ma Ying were hung from a tree, and their cries, curses, and howls could be heard all night long. However, in Li Xiao's ears, there was no misery of the wounded soldiers on the banks of the Hunhe River.
The next morning, they were all frozen into ice sculptures. The wind was blowing and swaying, and the strange thing was that they all had smiles on their faces. Disposing of corpses on the island is very simple, and throwing them into the sea solves all the problems. Those creatures in the sea will quickly turn a relatively large person into a relatively clean skeleton.
Since then, the guys who came from the shore have a psychological shadow. As long as the killers asked if they wanted to go ashore, they all shook their heads like rattles.
Li Xiao picked out the people, and the most honest ones picked out two hundred and twenty-five people. These people do not form gangs, and their families are either captured or killed by the Tartars. Two hundred and twenty-five men were organized into three companies, each with seventy-five men. The company commander and platoon commander are not yet equipped, and Li Xiao is ready to find out the promotion of outstanding performance from among the soldiers.
Man Gui's subordinates were contaminated with too many bad habits of the Ming army, and they were only suitable for cavalry and not infantry.
Of course, these are all reasons to say it. As for the reason why you can't say it, it's that honest people are obedient.
The rest of the people were organized into a battalion of craftsmen, and those who knew how to work as carpenters were dry carpenters. A dry mason who knows how to be a mason, and a blacksmith who knows how to be a blacksmith is naturally a blacksmith. If you don't know how to do any work, at least you can do some hard work. An army that can fight must have a reliable support team behind it.
The blast furnace was quickly erected, and Inatomi, Japan's most famous gunsmith, did have two brushes.
The molten iron is sprinkled with mineral powder and stirred constantly, and the flame on the molten iron stops when it turns blue. So a pot of molten steel is a success!
However, the manufacturing process of the barrel surprised Li Xiao.
The rolling one was actually used while the molten steel had not yet melted. Use a cast iron mill to make the molten steel into a steel plate, put a round steel bar in the middle, turn and beat it repeatedly in a steel semicircular groove, knock the wrought iron sheet into the shape of a barrel, and then weld the gap with iron powder and borax, and beat it repeatedly until the weld is firm.
After the barrel was roughened, Inatomi put the barrel on a drilling device to drill holes, the drill bit was oiled, and little by little it was replaced with a larger drill bit, and little by little the unevenness inside the barrel was scraped until a smooth bore was drilled into the barrel.
I didn't believe that Li Xiao could do this. The inner wall of the barrel is not smooth enough, and the inner diameter is difficult to tightly control.
In this case, the projectile will bounce inside the barrel. This can have a serious impact on accuracy!
It's no wonder that these days, you have to line up to shoot. Shooting in a dense formation turned out to be an attempt to compensate for the lack of accuracy in this way.
However, Li Xiao also knows that even in this primitive way. In these days, it was also a high-tech product, and there was still a certain gap between Japanese-made muskets and Western muskets. However, in East Asia, Japanese-made muskets still have a certain technological advantage.
During the war of aggression against Korea, the Ming army did not suffer less from the Japanese muskets. However, the Ming army made up for the disadvantage with artillery.
After watching it for a while, Li Xiao lost interest in this kind of firearm. Instructed Zhao Tiezhu to take the apprentices to study hard. took Li Xiu and left!
Ao Canghai is very good now, because he has more than 200 musketeers under his command. A wide beach by the sea became his training ground.
"Left left, left and right! Damn, raise your left foot first. You idiot! Ao Canghai went up in a rage and kicked the recruit.
Listening to Ao Canghai's angry roar, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. These honest farmers couldn't even tell the difference between left and right before. Let them go in the queue, and it is even more foreign. Now it is much better, at least only one-third of the people who are on crutches, which proves that Ao Ye's training is very hard.
When I was a soldier in the past, I hated queue training very much. This thing has a lot to do with fighting, but queue training is indispensable in this era. It is absolutely irresponsible to let this kind of soldier who can't turn left and right to fight with a musket and line up against a human wall.
"Turn right!" Ao Canghai gave an order, and almost half of the recruits in the team became the opposite face!
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, wanting to let these soldiers go out to fight. I'm afraid it's going to take a while! Now he doesn't have time to care about these things, he is going to Sister Jiang now. Teach the girls first aid knowledge hand in hand, and he wants to teach his first aid knowledge to the girls as much as possible.
These first-aid knowledge are the lessons accumulated from previous wars and the use of human lives. Let the girls learn, it is likely to save many lives. Maybe it's the recruits on the beach, who can't tell the difference between left and right.
The veterans who survived on the battlefield were all treasures, especially those who were wounded and returned to the battlefield.
The girls were clearly interested in the bandagers, and they were all selected from the girls. They are all gentle, clever, and intelligent.
Some of the remaining girls worked as cooks, and some went into the quilt factory. If two more acres of land are opened, the island will completely enter the state of male ploughing and female weaving!
The triangular scarf is a good thing, no matter where you are injured, you can wrap it in a triangular scarf.
found a girl to demonstrate, and asked her to make a target for Li Xiaobao. was almost wrapped in a mummy by Li Xiao, but by the end of class, the big-eyed girl already had the meaning of making a promise.
Ignoring the resentful eyes of the big-eyed girl, Li Xiao hurriedly left after announcing the end of class. Just now, Li Xiu whispered to him that the fifth master is back!
"Fuck you, shitty bastard!" Far away, I heard Man Gui's voice scolding his mother.
Entering the house, the fifth master bowed his hand to Li Xiao.
"It's back! What's wrong with this? Li Xiao glanced at Mao Wenlong, who was vigilantly looking at Man Gui who was ready to flee at any time.
Tong Yangzhen's head was sent to Governor Wang, and Governor Wang praised Master Mao. Then he rewarded me with a thousand taels of silver. Let me go back to the island and take you to Shanhaiguan. The fifth master glanced at Master Mao with disdain.
In the past, it was too late for him to stammer, but now he can see the faces of these officials clearly. Disgusting! It's fucking disgusting!
"Back to Shanhaiguan? He's sick, will you go back? Li Xiao asked Man Gui with a smile.
"Fuck it, a thousand heads that Lao Tzu cut off for nothing. There is not a single silver or two of the bounty! These officials are all black-hearted, and Lao Tzu went back to suffer from their pickles? ”
Man Gui glared at Mao Wenlong like a wolf, and Lord Dusi was so frightened that he almost didn't sit on the ground.
