Shi Yiyi had already been loaded into a prisoner car, escorted back to the capital, asked about many major crimes such as defeat and defeat, and went to the market to behead him; Du Qing successfully took over the post of governor of Xuanhua and assisted Ye Yongjia in handling the affairs of the new army.

Cai Xianqing sat in the big tent with the two of them to discuss, and heard Ye Yongjia ask first: "I don't know where the barracks of this new army are?" I should go for a walk. ”

Du Qing replied: "It's not far from here." It's better to call them all over and ask them one by one, it's convenient for you. ”

"Why bother with soldiers? I went there myself, just in time for them to set up a formation in the open space and test whether they were proficient in using the guns on the spot. ”

Du Qing pondered for a moment before nodding: "Then I'll wait and rest for a while, and then I'll go again." Director Cai, you are ...... Are you together, too? ”

Cai Xianqing seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly heard Du Dudu calling him, so he woke up suddenly and answered: "Ah...... Let me think about it. ”

"If Cai Lao has anything to say, just say it!" Ye Yongjia saw his thoughts and hurriedly said.

"Two adults, the old man thinks, first understand the basic situation such as the materials and smelting of the firecracker, don't be in a hurry, lest you see the soldiers of the new army, and you can't answer half a sentence, not only will you be looked down upon, but you are also afraid of being deceived by the villain."

Du Qing smiled: "There is some truth in this. But when I look at those new troops, they are not very skilled in skills, so how can I talk about being deceived? It's better to understand the existing situation first, and then take a step-by-step plan, it's not too late. ”

Ye Yongjia looked at Cai Xianqing and was not very happy, so he took the initiative to reconcile: "In this way, Du Dudu and I will go to the New Army camp, and you will go to the gunpowder factory to investigate, how about it?" ”

"Director Cai is at this age...... Is it okay to be alone? Du Qing turned his head to look at Cai Xianqing.

Cai Xianqing straightened his legs and slapped his knees twice: "Don't worry!" My body is so good! ”

"That's good." Du Qing immediately walked to the front of the case, tore out a piece of paper, took a pen and quickly wrote a line of words, stamped it, and handed it to Cai Xianqing: "You carry this thing and hand it to the people in the factory, they will let you in; In addition, the account room is responsible for the purchase of artillery, and he also knows a little about this, if Cai Lao is interested, he should ask there. ”

Cai Xianqing stuffed the note, hugged his fists and thanked: "Xia Guan understands." Thanks a lot! Then he turned and walked out of the tent.

"All out! It's all out! Du Qing pulled the soldiers from the barracks to the school field one by one, and commanded loudly on the side, "Yes, you lean there, take another step...... Come on! ”

Ye Yongjia was standing behind Du Qing, and under his gaze, the soldiers finally stood in line and held the fire gun steady.

Du Qingnai ordered people to go to a place eighty steps ahead and set up a wooden sign, and shouted to everyone: "Each person will put ten bullets, and those who can shoot ten shots and ten hits will be rewarded!" If you don't hit once, you will be hit with a back stick five times! ”

The soldiers neglected the drill, and when they heard this, they became more and more panicked, and their voices were weaker in replying: "Yes......"

Ye Yongjia pursed his mouth slightly: "Let's start." ”

The soldiers went to the barrels and took lead, filled them with gunpowder, and lit them on the strings. Before they could take aim, they saw a flash of fire, and many people closed their eyes tightly, and the bullet actually shot at the stone pillar in the distance, and it missed the target at all.

Ye Yongjia watched them shoot three more shots, but only a few shots hit the wooden cards, which made him very disappointed, and immediately interrupted the drill: "Okay, let's stop." Dudu, I have something to say to you. ”

Du Qing nodded, accompanied him to a corner, and seeing that there was no one around, he called Ye Yongjia to stop: "Ye Shilang, you can talk." ”

"Do you have standards for this new army?" Ye Yongjia asked angrily.

"These subordinates were all recruited by Shi Yiyi temporarily, and even the quality of firearms is uneven, some are old and some are old, what rules can be established...... Du Qing sighed.

Ye Yongjia frowned and shook his head several times: "Then what is Shi Yiyi doing with this new army?" I won't even give out the money to raise soldiers! You have done something under him, do you know what is going on? ”

"To tell the truth, at that time, when the enemy was on the verge of the situation, Shi Yiyi was afraid that he would lose power, so he often spent his military expenses on that group of descendants, and never refused to take care of such a new army; After that, more than a dozen people died, and many guns and artillery fell into the hands of the enemy, and these have survived......"

"What a bastard!" Ye Yongjia gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Nowadays, if we want to replace firearms and use new ones, the use of one border province is not enough, and it is a really arduous task to affect the whole body." Du Qing just told the truth.

"Why now?" Ye Yongjia's eyes widened.

"I'm afraid adults won't believe these words." Du Qing said with a sullen head.

"Alas, Du Dudu, am I such a dumb official? If you don't open your heart, how can you carry out a policy of innovation? Ye Yongjia patted his forehead, puzzled.

"It's the fault of the lower officials, I spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain...... said Du Qing suddenly knelt down, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked directly at him, "If you know that the adults have such enthusiasm for reform, you don't dare to hide the truth like this!" I am willing to be punished for this in the school field! ”

Ye Yongjia hurriedly held on: "Du Dudu, you can help me to level Shi Yiyi, you have already made a great contribution, how can you talk about being punished?" When Cai Lao comes back, we will think carefully about the use of degrees. ”

Du Qing knelt straight on the spot, helped him not to move, and refused to get up: "Although so, the soldiers are negligent in training, and they can't be shocked, and the responsibility is still mine." The subordinate can't bear to be blamed by his subordinates, and he is willing to be punished on behalf of everyone! ”

Ye Yongjia saw that he was sincere, and he couldn't persuade him, so he sighed: "Okay." ”

Du Qing returned to the school field again. With a grim look, he strode onto the stage and glanced at everyone on the field; Some soldiers only raised their eyes slightly, and saw that terrifying face, and immediately felt a chill, which made people's hair stand on end.

He glanced at Ye Yongjia, but the latter didn't move, so he had to go to the shelf and get a military stick, coil it in his hand, and say to everyone: "I have already said that if you don't hit once, you will be beaten with five sticks." Three shots were fired, and most of them missed, so they should be fired fifteen times! Who comes! ”

The soldiers were all clenched and silent.

"Well, in that case, I, the governor, will not escape the blame!" After saying that, he turned his face to look at Ye Yongjia, "Lord Ye, the lower officials are incompetent, and they are willing to suffer for everyone!" ”

When the sergeants heard this, they were talking to themselves, and they saw Du Qing coming over, throwing the general's stick to a soldier, and then lying on the ground, saying, "Just fight, don't show mercy!" ”

The soldier was shaking with his stick.

"Hit!" He roared.

The soldier had no choice but to close his eyes and hit the stick hard.
