Before you know it, it is already spring, and in late March, it is even more beautiful and bright.

In the early morning, the silence of the barracks was broken by the sound of a shrill whistle, and with the shouts of the instructors, the soldiers who had already prepared rushed out of the barracks and gathered on the teaching ground.

As the trumpet sounded, the soldiers were divided into battalions and carried out a 20-mile long-distance running and cross-country weight-bearing exercise.

"One-two-one, one-two-one, one-two-three-four!"

The officers shouted slogans, and the non-commissioned officers followed suit, and began their routine daily drills.

The 4,000 men and horses of the "Wangzi Battalion" have now made up the difference, and the newly recruited more than 1,000 green battalion soldiers have also been trained for more than two months at the latest, and they have participated in large and small battles in the city, and they are also veterans who have been on the battlefield.

"Lao Liu, why did the production of "Ten Thousand Enemies" stop? ”

In the camp of the Chinese army, Wang Heyao asked softly to Lao Liu, a craftsman who was smiling in the hall.

"My lord, this is all what Shangguan meant, and the villain knows it."

Lao Liu bowed his head and bowed his waist, respectful.

"This is crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey!"

Wang Heyao shook his head and sighed softly.

Since the beginning of spring, the Geng army has withdrawn to the south of Quzhou, and there is no war in Jinhua City, so the supply of these burdens has naturally faded.

He also knew that with the financial resources of Jinhua Mansion, it was good to be able to support the supply of "10,000 enemies" and firearms and ammunition to the present.

"My lord, in fact, there is not much gunpowder and iron ingots in the treasury. If you still want to make iron lumps, you have to ask for it from the Yamen of the Zhejiang Political Division. ”

The "Wangzi Battalion" garrison Jinhua City, the heavy grain and grass required are all provided by the Yamen of the Zhejiang Political Division. Since the Green Battalion was deployed, the military camp outside Hangzhou has become useless.

"Lao Liu, are you interested in serving in the army?"

Wang Heyao looked at Lao Liu Tou and suddenly became interested.

To tell the truth, a few blacksmiths in the army were decent, repairing the head of the spear and hitting two broadswords, but when it came to building firearms, they were at a loss.

Although this Lao Liu is a little older, he is skilled and can repair guns, which is a good choice.

"Thank you, sir! The villain is on an errand in the mansion, and his family is here, so he can't leave! ”

Lao Liu hurriedly excused himself. Follow this and go south and north, wouldn't you want to leave your hometown?

"That's a shame!"

Wang Heyao shook his head.

He waved his hand, and Chen Zigou brought the plate up, and there were two silver ingots of ten taels in it.

"Lao Liu, the army is embarrassed, and I can only give you this bit of silver. I hope you don't mind. ”

This bit of silver is still Li Zhifang's reward. Some were rewarded to meritorious soldiers, and the rest was left with that.

Twenty taels of silver can be exchanged for the life and death of hundreds of soldiers, and the silver is worth it.

"Thank you, sir! The villain says goodbye! ”

The wrinkles on Lao Liu's face bloomed, like peonies blooming in the afternoon. He was about to turn away, and stopped.

"My lord, when Prince Kang was stationed in Jinhua City, there was a young man by his side, who was his subordinate and could make firecrackers and artillery. His ability is much better than that of a villain! ”

Lao Liu's words made Wang Heyao stunned.

"More than your craft?"

"My lord, to be honest, compared to him, the villain is not worth mentioning."

Lao Liu was full of smiles and clear words, obviously not talking nonsense.

"My lord, that person's name is Dai Zi, he is from Hangzhou, and he has a set of firearms. He can build spontaneous guns and short-barreled guns, he is really a great talent, and Prince Kang values it very much. ”

"And such a genius!"

Wang Heyao's eyes lit up.

"Of course! Prince Kang's talent is fancy, how can it be bad! Not only do you make guns, but you also have a good mouth! ”

When the silver arrived, Lao Liu was full of interest, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and threw them all out.

"And then there's the two missionaries in Lanxi, Leonardo and Zapatiri, both of whom also make firearms. When Prince Kang was in Jinhua, they also came to help the army cast firearms. Especially that red-haired Leonardo, he himself said that he would make spontaneous firecrackers! ”

Lanxi is in the west of Jinhua Mansion, and I can't imagine that there are many of these Taixi missionaries in Zhejiang.

"Lao Liu, thank you!"

Wang Heyao nodded, and Lao Liu Xizi left.

"It's a bag again, it's a lot again, the name of the Taixi people is hard to call, what's called a bag, is it used to hold grain?"

Chen Zigou shook his head and laughed.

Bag!

Wang Heyao also smiled, but soon, the smile on his face disappeared.

Bag, Dai Zi, from Hangzhou......

Could it be that this young man is the gun expert in the Kangxi period in history?

Unexpectedly, this person is already Jieshu's military staff.

Leonardo, Zapatiri, it seems to be Spanish when you hear the name. But to find them, their current identity, except for kidnapping, seems to be unconvincing.

The coming day is long, or one day, goodbye to the rivers and lakes.

In the baggage warehouse, looking at the basket of "10,000 enemies" in front of him, Zheng Siming's eyes were straight.

"So many guys! Liu Wenshi, how many are there in total? ”

As the "general manager" of logistics, that is, Liu Wenshi, who was also a quartermaster, turned out to be an old man from the Dalanshan Inspection Division, and when he heard Zheng Siming's question, he opened the booklet and checked it carefully before he replied respectfully.

"Back to Lord Zheng, a total of 2,230."

He can be this quartermaster, naturally because he has read books and is his own person.

Among the old men in the Dalanshan Inspection Division, only his fellow villager Huzi is honest and has a lower position, but he is also in charge of engineers.

"2230, why are there so few?"

Zheng Siming frowned, and what he said was inconsistent.

"My lord, there were originally more than 4,000 of them, and nearly 2,000 of them were used on the city wall. The rest of these have almost used up the iron ingots in the Jinhua Mansion Treasury. ”

"It's still less! If only there were five or six thousand! ”

Zheng Siming shook his head, and his tone was full of regret.

"Five or six thousand! So much! ”

Liu Wenshi was taken aback, he looked around and asked in a low voice.

"Why, my lord, do you want ...... Hands-on? ”

"What to do, it's not time yet!"

Zheng Siming glanced at his little brother and said solemnly in a low voice.

"Hide all the "10,000 enemies" and not let others see them. There is a big use in the back! ”

As for when it will be useful, he doesn't know.

"Don't worry, I know how to do it!"

Liu Wenshi's heart shook and he swore and said.

"What an adult, call me big brother when no one is around!"

"Yes, big brother! I'll be very careful about this! ”

Zheng Siming nodded, and suddenly asked:

"Brother, is there any extra gunpowder in the baggage warehouse of Jinhua Mansion?"

"Big brother, what do you want so much gunpowder for?"

Liu Wenshi was ignorant.

"You, all of them are losers!"

Zheng Siming raised his face and reprimanded his little brother.

"If you have one, get it. With gunpowder, "10,000 enemies", explosives packs, firearm primers, you name it! ”

He looked at Liu Wenshi and hated that iron could not become steel.

"The grenadier drill can be filled with two or three percent of gunpowder, so it's the same as actual combat. Just throwing an iron lump is not the same as igniting an explosion. ”

Liu Wenshi nodded again and again, convinced.

"Don't worry, big brother, I'll arrange it immediately!"

As long as Wang Ziying wants it, the various yamen in Jinhua Mansion will basically not refuse. Anyway, it's all from the imperial court, and it's from the Yamen of the Zhejiang Political Division.

In the barracks, Wang Heyao was teaching a room of officers face to face.

"Zhang Hei, the grenadiers are the elite of the army, you have to take them well, train hard, and don't go wrong!"

Wang Heyao solemnly instructed Zhang Hei.

Grenadier is a new branch of the army, and it is also the biggest gain of this siege battle. The 300 people selected were all elites in the army and were organized into grenadier battalions.

"Don't worry, sir! The villain must bring out a tiger and wolf army and live up to the high expectations of adults! ”

Zhang Hei knelt down on one knee and saluted with his fists clenched.

"Zhang Hei, let me ask for Lord Wang, you have to tell the truth!"

Zheng Siming came in, his eyes blazing.

"Lord Zheng, please speak!"

Knowing that Zheng Siming is Wang Heyao's sworn brother, Zhang Hei is respectful.

"If the Lord orders the bomb to be dropped, and the emperor of the court is in front of him, do you dare too?"

Zheng Siming's words were like thunder, and he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"My lord, the villain has a rotten life, Lord Wang looks down on him, and makes Zhang Hei live like a human. As long as Lord Wang gives an order, don't say it's the emperor, it's the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, and Zhang Hei will be able to blow it up! If there is half a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky! ”

Zhang Hei knelt on the ground, impassioned.

"What about you?"

Zheng Siming's gaze turned to the officers in the room full of Wednesday, Tian Er, and others.

"Needless to say! The villain is only the king's head! There is a fake word, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

"It's all up to Lord Wang's military orders! Go to the soup and fight the fire, and never give up! ”

"It's all at the disposal of adults!"

All the officers knelt down on one knee and saluted, and the crowd was excited.

Zheng Siming nodded and stepped aside.

"Brothers, get up!"

Wang Heyao waved his hand and said softly.

"Thank you, sir!"

Zhang Hei and the others stood up together.

"Brothers, I don't want you to die for me. I want you to live for me. ”

Wang Heyao's face was calm and he said something.

"There are 4,000 brothers in the army, if everyone is of one mind and travels all over the world, we are not afraid of being bullied. Since I am taking you with me, I want you all to live well, so that your families can live a good life, this is what I say in my heart. Most of our brothers are poor people, and we are used to being bullied, so if we don't twist into a rope and be half-hearted, we can only continue to be bullied. You say, "Isn't that the truth?" ”

"My lord, you are the backbone of your brothers, everyone listens to you!"

"Adults don't need to say much, adults are good to us, we know it in our hearts!"

"My lord, we all listen to you! Whoever has bad intentions for you, we will kill him!" What prince governor can't do, and neither can the emperor."

The armies spoke one after another, and Wang Heyao nodded and stood up.

"Brothers, officers are the soul of the army! When you arrive on the battlefield, the life and death of the soldiers, the survival of the army, the future of the brothers, and the glory and wealth of the rest of your life are all in your hands. Brothers, let's work together! ”

"Obey the teachings of your lords!"

Everyone knelt down together to listen to the order, and their heads banged "dongdong".

"Brothers, go get busy!"

Wang Heyao waved his hand, and everyone said goodbye and went out.

"These guys will be warriors on the battlefield in the future!"

Zheng Siming looked at the back of the generals leaving, his eyes full of anticipation.

With these grenadiers and these "10,000 enemies", his heart is much more stable.

"Big brother, you're right!" "Ten thousand enemies" is just a firearm, and people's hearts are the foundation. ”

Wang Heyao was about to speak, and Zhao Guohao had already strode in.

"Old Five, the envoy from Quzhou City has arrived, and Li Fu asked you to go to his barracks to discuss matters, saying that it was going to be opened!"

"Pulled out?"

Zheng Siming stood up suddenly.

"Listening to their conversation, Prince Kang Jieshu has arrived in Quzhou and wants to transfer our army to Quzhou to assemble!"

Wang Heyao's heart trembled, and he finally waited for this day.
