Liu Yan carefully looked at the sample of the flintlock bird gun in his hand, and saw that although this bird gun was only a sample created by the Firearms Supervision Department, it combined with all the efforts of Tan Xiaoda and other craftsmen of the Firearms Supervision Department, and the workmanship was very excellent, and it could even be called a work of art, far better than the various firearms equipped by the official army at this time!

So, Liu Yan said: "Just take the size of this sample bird gun as the standard!" ”

Tan Xiaoda took the sample bird gun, nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, I will unify all the measurement tools of the Firearms Supervision Department as soon as possible, and start to build flintlock bird guns in batches as soon as possible, so as to replace the arquebus bird guns that are now equipped in the army." ”

At this time, Yue Ming next to him said: "My lord, my subordinates think that it is completely possible to sort out all the affairs and processes of the Firearms Supervision Department and form a set of systems, so that the craftsmen can have rules to follow, so that they can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort." ”

Liu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Very good! This matter is the responsibility of Director Tan. In addition, I think the Armor Supervision Office can also do the same! ”

Liu Yan discussed with several people, and then set the tone, from now on, all the 100 households in Wangjiazhuang must establish rules and regulations, and everyone must act in accordance with the rules and regulations, so as to establish a "law" belonging to Liu Yan.

After the discussion was completed, Liu Yan sorted out the proposals put forward by everyone, and prepared to let Zhao Min write a formal order after he went back, and then issue it together.

At this time, Tan Xiaoda came to Liu Yan's side and asked, "My lord, there is something unclear about my subordinates, please solve your doubts." ”

"Tell me?"

Tan Xiaoda said: "My lord, my subordinates think that the current production of bird guns in the Firearms Supervision Department can meet the needs of all sentinels, even if the existing arquebus guns are replaced, it will not delay too long." What the subordinates don't understand is why do adults do everything possible to increase the production of birds? ”

Liu Yan said: "At present, the production of bird guns is indeed enough, but what about the future? As the saying goes, be prepared. Perhaps, in the near future, this flintlock will replace other blades and become the only equipment in the whole army, and our army will also be greatly expanded, and no one can say for sure. ”

When everyone heard Liu Yan's words, they all showed shocked looks, are these things something that a hundred households in a health center should think about? Apparently not!

But Liu Yan not only thought about it, but also put it into action, whether it was Miao Shao, Xu Ming, or Yue Ming and Tan Xiaoda, while being shocked, he was also full of hope for the future.

"What kind of prospects will it be if you follow the captain all the way?"

Everyone is thinking about this.

On this day, after Liu Yan returned to the Hundred Households Official Hall from the Firearms Supervision Office, he began to set up soldiers and horses.

And this group of people who are going to be formed must be mainly the chief flag officer Shen Tuobu.

After an inspection by the Firearms Supervision Department, Liu Yan is very confident in Wangjiazhuang's armament production capacity, and a talent like Shen Tuo must also be in Liu Yan's hands, so it is very necessary to build a new sentry horse alone this time.

Not only that, Liu Yan also planned to reorganize the existing sentry soldiers and horses in Wangjiazhuang after the formation of Shen Tuo, and add a new level of formation on top of the sentry level units to facilitate command and operation.

So Liu Yan rested for a day in the official hall of 100 households, and early the next morning, under the escort of Miao Shao's troops, he came to Huangshandun.

Shen Tuo hurriedly came out to greet him when he heard the news, Liu Yan looked at Shen Tuo, and the more than 100 dun soldiers behind Shen Tuo, and said with a smile: "Yes, it can be seen that Shen Zongqi has worked hard during this time, and these dun troops have some appearance." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yan turned over and dismounted, striding towards Shen Tuo.

Seeing this, Shen Tuo wanted to come over to salute, but was pulled by Liu Yan: "Hehe, it's okay to get your mind, let's go in and talk." ”

"Yes."

Shen Tuo looked at Liu Yan, who was so approachable, and his heart was also warm. Although Liu Yan was the same as himself before, he was just a chief flag officer, but now Liu Yan is already an official of a hundred households and a team officer in Wangjiazhuang, but he is still so close to him, although Shen Tuo is silent, he is not ignorant.

So Shen Tuo smiled and said, "Your Excellency came over today, but there is an order to convey?" ”

While speaking, Liu Yan, Shen Tuo, and Miao Shao had already come to the General Flag Official Hall, and the three of them sat down, and Liu Yan said: "There is something to do today, it is about the reorganization of your department. ”

Shen Tuo was slightly stunned, and then Miao Shao on the side said with a smile: "My lord wants to build a new sentry and be led by Shen Zongqi." ”

After hearing this, Shen Tuo's heart suddenly burst into joy, and he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Subordinate Lord Xie's kindness!" ”

After speaking, Shen Tuo bowed.

Liu Yan pulled it up with a smile and said, "Hehe, it's just that I am in command of more than a hundred people, so I don't need to be so excited." As long as Shen Zongqi follows me well, you and Miao Zongqi will be counted in the future, even if you are the commander of thousands of troops, it is possible! ”

Shen Tuo said loudly: "The subordinates understand that they will definitely be able to get ahead with the adults, and from now on, the lives of the subordinates will be the adults', but if there is a need, it is just a matter of the adults' words!" ”

"I want your life useless, but I want you to lead the troops."

As he spoke, Liu Yan beckoned Shen Tuo and Miao Shao to sit down and said, "Okay, let's talk about the reorganization." ”

After the two of them sat down, Liu Yan asked, "Mr. Shen, do you have any available talents here?" ”

"Yes."

Shen Tuo said: "There are three small flag officials here, namely Guo Rong, Teng Jianghe, and Yu Qian. ”

"Yu Qian?"

"It's Yu ~ Qian."

Shen Tuo said, and wrote a few strokes on the table, and Liu Yan smiled and nodded, it turned out to be this transfer word.

Liu Yan then asked Shen Tuo to call the three little flag officers, and after a while, all three of them rushed to the general flag official hall.

Liu Yan looked at the three of them, and saw that Guo Rong was very tall, Liu Yan estimated that this Guo Rong was one meter nine tall, this person was about thirty years old, his arms were very long, and he stood there like a hill. After inquiry, this Guo Rong had just defected to Huangshandun not long ago, and was originally a fugitive military household, but was left behind by Shen Tuo.

The other Teng Jianghe was a man in his forties who looked very ordinary, but Liu Yan noticed that his hands were full of calluses. Shen Tuo on the side introduced that this Teng Jianghe is good at sticks, fights and rampages, and is a good player.

The last Yu Qian, who was in his thirties, looked like a teenager, with a figure that was not too high, just like a teenager from someone's family.

However, according to Shen Tuo, this Yu Qian is also a good fighter, and his shots are very fierce, and three or five ordinary men are not opponents.

Liu Yan smiled and said to the three of them: "I really didn't expect that there are so many good men in Huangshan Dun!" ”

Then Liu Yan looked at Shen Tuo and said, "I remember that the three of them are only temporarily holding the position of small flag officer, and they have not been officially appointed yet, right?" ”

Shen Tuo clenched his fists and said: "That's true, the three of them are newly promoted by their subordinates, and the small flag officials of Huangshandun before were not successful, and when the old and weak were dismissed last time, their subordinates sent them away together." The three of them, their subordinates haven't had time to report to the adults, so naturally they don't have official status. ”

Liu Yan said: "In this case, after I go back today, I will handle it for the three of them, and they will be your little flag officer in the future." ”

Shen Tuo and the others were overjoyed, and Shen Tuo said loudly to the three of them: "You haven't thanked the adults quickly!" ”

Guo Rong, Yu Qian, and Teng Jianghe hurriedly bowed to the ground: "My subordinates have thanked you!" ”

Next, Liu Yan discussed specific matters with Shen Tuo and others.

"The number of sentries led by Shen Zongqi is the same as the rest of the sentry, with three flags, four teams under each banner, and a total of one hundred and eighty-seven people, including Shen Zongqi. How many people are there in the pier of Huangshan now? ”

"Lord Qiyu, the current number of dun troops in Huangshan Dun, including his subordinates and others, is one hundred and fifty-two."

"It's a little bit worse."

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said: "There are still thirty-five people left, I will deploy some from Wangjiazhuang, if there are still shortcomings, you have to rely on Shen Zongqi to recruit them yourself." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Liu Yan continued: "Shen Zongqi will complete the recruitment and training of personnel within one month. At the same time, I will send people to send the military equipment, money, food, and salaries, and Shen Zongqi must be distributed as soon as possible, without the slightest deduction. ”

Shen Tuo clenched his fists and said, "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

"Hmm."

Liu Yan immediately took out a list and handed it to Shen Tuo, and then said with a smile: "This is a list of military supplies needed by a sentry, Shen Zongqi take a look, if there are other needs, put it forward now, I will go out of this door, but I will not admit it." ”

Shen Tuo took it with both hands and looked at it carefully, only to see that the list was written with spears, bird guns, swords and shields, back flags, drums and trumpets, armor and other equipment, and even shoes and socks, underwear and other clothing, Shen Tuo also saw a horsetail toothbrush for brushing teeth, as well as good green salt!

Looking at Shen Tuo's surprised look, Liu Yan said with a smile: "Now that our Wangjiazhuang is just on the right track, in the future, I am also going to open up a separate new barracks to train recruits for various departments." Now the supplies on this list are what every recruit has to equip. ”

Shen Tuo sighed: "How much silver does this cost!" ”

"Silver?"

Liu Yan said: "If these materials are evenly distributed to a soldier, it will be almost more than 20 taels of silver per person." ”

Shen Tuo said with some distress: "More than twenty taels? ”

"Yes, and it's only a one-time payment, and in the future, more than eight taels of silver will be invested in each soldier every month."

Liu Yan patted Shen Tuo's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, don't feel sorry for the silver, having money is equal to being blind if you don't spend it, as long as the silver is spent in key places and you can train an elite soldier, it's worth it!" ”

"What the adults teach is that their subordinates have been taught!"

Then Liu Yan talked about the number: "I am going to change the central post led by Miao Zongqi to a personal guard post, and the newly formed post on Shen Zongqi's side will be used as the middle post." Do you have any comments? ”

Miao Shao and Shen Tuo naturally had no opinion, and immediately hugged their fists to take their lives.

Liu Yan patted his thigh and said: "Okay, the matter is done, Shen Zongqi has to hurry up, when your outpost is completed, our Wangjiazhuang posts will have some adjustments, and I won't be waiting for me!" ”

Shen Tuo looked at Liu Yan, and only felt that Liu Yan seemed to have a divine power, pushing himself and thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire Wangjiazhuang to move forward, bringing everyone together, forming a huge force that could almost change the world, and his heart suddenly stirred.

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will be within a month, no! Twenty days, the subordinates must complete the formation of the new outpost within twenty days! ”

Some people died, but not completely......
