……

The waves are swept up, the waves are splashed in all directions, the huge river is monstrous, and the waves split the river.

Yue Shaomu looked at the deep sea, but what he was thinking about was the overseas Chinese who had suffered thousands of nautical miles away.

In order to personally check the living conditions of the expatriates in South Australia, Yue Shaomu disguised himself as a Nanyang business traveler and followed the Intelligence Department into South Australia, but found that the lives of overseas Chinese in South Australia were not as good as pigs and dogs.

Especially some children, all skinny, looking at themselves with eyes full of fear and longing, all of which made Yue Shaomu's heart tingle.

He couldn't wait to immediately lead his army into South Australia and break the arrogant indigenous emperor into pieces.

"General Yue!"

A shout interrupted Yue Shaomu's contemplation, but he saw a burly young general not far away holding an improved fire cap gun, and rushed to him.

The young general's name is Xu Sheng, a native of Danyang in the south, and he has become one of the four generals under Yue Shaomu, and is deeply valued by Yue Shaomu.

Xu Sheng handed the fire cap gun in his hand to Yue Shaomu and said, "General Yue, according to your orders, the fire cap gun and fixed ammunition have been improved.

After experiments, the problem of rearloading sealing has been completely solved, and the rate of fire of the projectile is not much different from that of the fire cap gun itself,

And because it is a rear-loading ammunition, it greatly saves the loading time, which is enough to ensure that the soldiers can continuously output firepower. ”

Yue Shaomu took the fire cap gun, and then pressed it lightly with his thumb in the place where the needle pulling device was originally installed, and a reloading hole suddenly appeared.

Then Yue Shaomu took the changed metal fixed Mini bullet and stuffed it inside, covered it with a fire cap and aimed at the sea.

"Bang~"

A gunshot echoed, and a flash of fire emitted a faint white smoke from the muzzle.

Seeing that the effect of the fire gun had reached the expectations in his heart, Yue Shaomu's originally gloomy face stretched out slightly.

I have to say that Yue Shaomu is really a genius, and soon after the advent of the fire cap gun, he began to work on further improvements, and improved the original firing style of the musket into a firing pin type.

This improvement meant that the Han army's traditional platoon shooting tactics was about to usher in a huge reform, and the group skirmishing tactics he envisioned were about to land on the battlefield of war.

Because with the rear-loading musket, the tactics can become more flexible, and they are no longer limited to relying on large-scale formations.

"How much can such a musket be modified in three months?" Yue Shaomu asked.

Xu Sheng was taken aback: "General Yue, do you really want to change?" Shouldn't you talk to the court first? ”

Yue Shaomu shook his head: "It's too late, I have a hunch that within three or four months, the imperial court will definitely take action against Nanao.

Before that, General Ben had to make sure that the first batch of these muskets was available to our army. ”

Xu Sheng said: "General Yue, it is a violation of military law to transform the clan's ordnance without permission!" ”

Yue Shaomu said: "Regarding the transformation, I will write to the imperial court, and you will inform General Zhang that within three months, I will need to modify at least 3,000 rear-firing muskets, and as for the cost of modification, I will bear it alone." ”

At that time, he provided cotton technology for the imperial court, and obtained 500,000 silver dollars from Liu Ce, as well as 100,000 patent fees allocated by the imperial court, plus silver dollars exchanged for military exploits, all of which were stored in the bank to raise interest rates, so that they could one day be used to improve ordnance.

Now Yue Shaomu has more than 700,000 silver dollars, and he plans to take them all out to transform the fire cap gun, and after careful calculation, this money is almost enough to modify 3,000 fire cap guns.

Xu Sheng sighed at this, and didn't persuade anything anymore, he knew that as long as Yue Shaomu decided, even if Zhang Lie came forward, he couldn't stop it.

After solving the gun problem, Yue Shaomu walked to the training ground inside the military port.

On the school ground, thousands of officers and men in short clothes practiced landing tactics under the command of instructors.

As soon as he saw Yue Shaomu coming, the instructor shouted to the people around him: "Continue to practice." ”

Then he stepped to Yue Shaomu and respectfully gave a military salute: "The last general has seen General Yue!" ”

The instructor's name is Zhu Huan, a native of Yangzhou, Jiangnan, nicknamed Mad Dog, and one of the four subordinates under Yue Shaomu.

Once he killed the red eye in the battle, he almost didn't care, once in the Far Eastern steppe rebellion, he led 600 people to defeat the Hu people who were ten times his size, and pursued them all the way for 800 miles.

Yue Shaomu nodded: "How is the practice?" ”

Zhu Huan: "Everything is in order, please review it by the general." ”

Yue Shaomu nodded, and followed Zhu Huan to review the army in front of him, which was composed of all southern soldiers.

Looking at the sweaty but stubborn expressions of the soldiers, Yue Shaomu couldn't help but nodded: "Very good, the elite is to have the appearance of the elite, continue to practice like this, it won't be long before you will follow this general to fulfill your obligations." ”

Zhu Huan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "General Yue, what do you mean?" ”

Yue Shaomu's face was calm: "If it is not bad as expected, it will not be long before the will of the imperial court to expedition to Nanao will be issued.

As the only elite army in my ocean-going fleet, you naturally want to go to the battlefield with me. ”

Zhu Huan immediately licked his dry lips: "Okay, I really can't wait to go to the battlefield immediately, I'm about to suffocate birds here." ”

Yue Shaomu didn't say a word, then walked up to the review stand, and said to a veteran who bowed to him: "Let everyone stop, General Ben has something to announce." ”

"Whoa!"

The veteran's name is Quan Zong, who is also a subordinate of Yue Shaomu, and is in charge of military law every day, and there is no trace of emotion on his resolute face, but only a sense of vicissitudes of a hundred battles and a body.

Yue Shaomu walked to the review stand, and with a burst of applause, the soldiers who had been trained immediately stood up in a military posture in a very short time.

A full 4,000 officers and soldiers looked at the top of the review stand at the first time.

After Yue Shaomu looked around, he took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, let me ask you, do you know what you are suffering today, what is it for!?" ”

"Defend the country! Expelled the captives! ”

The sonorous and powerful answer represents the hearts of those young soldiers.

Yue Shaomu: "Okay, I'm here today, I just want to inform you that the imperial court has set up a new number for you!"

From now on, you will officially become the officers and soldiers of the independent battalion of the Han Far East Group Army, called the Beiwei Army! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone puffed up their chests, and the pride on their faces was not concealed.

This is an honor that belongs to a soldier, and what kind of respect is that?

Chen Qing's White Robe Army, Huo Qing's Yu Lingwei, Bai Qi's Northwest Iron Army, Meng Hui's Danyang Tiger Bu, etc., they are all recognized elites of the Han Dynasty.

And now, his battalion finally has its own name.

Back to the Army!

This is the number written by Liu Ce for this army, what a glory it is.

Yue Shaomu continued: "However, having a number does not mean that you can be superior, compared to other elites, our performance is far from enough.

I hope you will remember your responsibility as a sergeant, protect your family and defend the country, save your compatriots and the concept of fire and water, and always maintain this original intention! ”

"Ten thousand years of the Han Emperor! Ten thousand years of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Ten thousand years of the Han Emperor! Ten thousand years of the Han Dynasty! ”
