Chapter 57 Discussion on the Establishment of the Army
It turned out that since the fire exercise, the young people of the Moyan people were also very interested in these brand-new weapons, so they found Zhang Feng, the current head of the Moyan people, and asked to join the mine protection team.
But although Zhang Feng can communicate with Lin Qiang, arrange work for the young people of Moyan, and ask for supplies, how can he open his mouth about such a thing as the army. They can only be rejected one by one.
However, after all, it is not a trivial matter for the young people with black eyes to find Zhang Feng one after another, so naturally they can't hide it from Lin Qiang. So soon, Lin Qiang invited Zhang Feng to his office.
"Lao Zhang, discuss. I agree with you ink-eyed youths joining the army. Lin Qiang said after pouring Zhang Feng a cup of tea.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Feng's eyes. He is not afraid of the bloodshed and sacrifice of the black-eyed young people after joining the army, what he is afraid of is not treating them as his own. When Lin Qiang said this, it made him feel comfortable.
"That's it." Lin Qiang said after a deep sigh.
Zhang Feng's expression became nervous, and many thoughts flashed through him in an instant, and he hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry about who leads these young people, you can rest assured, our tribe will not mix." ”
Lin Qiang glanced at Zhang Feng, and said with a smile on his face: "Old Zhang, where do you want to go." I think that if the young people of Moyan are involved, it is not appropriate for the army to be called the mine protection team. We'll have to negotiate and come up with a new name. ”
Zhang Feng was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's the name?" ”
Lin Qiang thought about it and said: "Actually, when it comes to the name, it seems very simple, but it is also related to the positioning of our team. In this way, the matter is big, you had better communicate with Zhang Luoyang's boss and discuss. ”
Zhang Feng suddenly realized, he smiled and said: "What are you discussing about this matter, my eldest brother has already told me when I came out, and I am fully responsible for everything." ”
Lin Qiang's eyes became serious, and he said solemnly to Zhang Feng: "No, Lao Zhang." It's better to talk about it. Not only is it related to this group of black-eyed youths, but my vision is not only limited to the mine. You tell your eldest brother what I mean, and let's discuss it. ”
When Zhang Feng saw Lin Qiang say this, he also secretly sighed in his heart that Lin Qiang's present was not what it used to be, so he nodded and agreed. On the same day, he sent people to release pigeons and sent a message back to the tribe. Since Han Xu trained the flying pigeon to pass the book, in order to strengthen the contact with the tribe, a station for the flying pigeon to pass the book was set up in the tribe. Before the invention of the telephone, the Flying Pigeon Transmission greatly strengthened the connection between the mine and the tribe.
After Zhang Luoyang received the letter, he saw Lin Qiang's purpose and ambition from Zhang Feng's words. also thinks that this matter is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, so naturally I dare not slack off. Overnight, he left the tribe with a few retinues.
Five days later, Zhang Luoyang led a small elite army, all equipped with brand-new composite bows and crossbows, into the mine to discuss the establishment of the army.
Lin Qiang really didn't expect Zhang Luoyang to come here in person, he didn't dare to slack off, and concentrated all aspects of the management of the mine, after receiving Zhang Luoyang and others for a meal, everyone moved to the living room of the small courtyard in the mountains, and sent heavy troops to guard it.
Yan Xiaohuan and Zhang Feng reported in detail to Zhang Luoyang about the life of the Moyan people in the mine, as well as the details of all aspects of work, and Zhang Luoyang, who listened, nodded again and again. After hearing this, Zhang Luoyang waved his hand at Lin Qiang, opened his mouth and said, "Thank you very much, Mine Chief Lin." ”
Lin Qiang smiled exaggeratedly and said, "If the big boss is from, why is it polite." ”
Zhang Luoyang also smiled and said, "Seriously, thank you indeed." The tribe has not eaten a full meal for so many years, I didn't expect you to be so capable, not only to solve the problem of the tribe to eat, but also to establish a long-term supply channel. You're really capable. ”
Lin Qiang waved his hand and pointed at Liang Shuopeng, Han Xu and the others: "Then you can't just thank me." I didn't do it, I made it happen. For example, if you buy medicine and weapons for food, this is what Liang Shuopeng made. There is also the current trade trafficking, except for the first time I also participated, and now it is all done by Han Xu. ”
Zhang Luoyang nodded and said, "You are all very good." By the way, what you said about the building of the army, let's hear it. ”
After Lin Qiang and Chang Shi and the others glanced at each other, they nodded and said, "Speaking of building an army, in fact, we have to set up a team to fight against the current aristocracy, and finally overthrow the criminal system that oppresses people who can't do magic. ”
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Luoyang and Zhang Feng glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Zhang Luoyang pondered for a while and said: "It's easy to occupy the mountain as the king, but it's difficult to fight against the nobles." As for the overthrow of the current system, which you are talking about, it is even more difficult. ”
Lin Qiang was about to speak, but Zhang Luoyang waved his hand and interrupted: "It seems that it's time to tell you about the old things that happened twenty years ago." ”
Twenty years ago, Lin Qiang heard Zhang Feng mention this by chance. Many of the ink-eyed youths had also heard from their elders about this.
Twenty years ago, because they couldn't stand the oppression of the Holy Volga Magic Kingdom, the five brothers of the Zhang family led the Moyan people from many villages in the southern part of Hussein Province and raised a rebellious team.
This team was quickly wiped out by the Hussein family, and until now, the Moyan tribe can only hide in Tibet, and finally retreat into the mountains, living in seclusion.
Zhang Luoyang told this past story with an expressionless face, and then said slowly: "The result of this uprising is as you can see. If it weren't for Rhodes, as well as the efforts of your two generations of mines, the people of the tribe would not even be able to drink gruel now. There are five brothers in my Zhang family, and now there are only two of us left. ”
Although Zhang Luoyang's face was expressionless, his words could reveal deep sadness. After listening to him talk about the previous rebellion, everyone present, especially the people in the mines, fell silent.
Lin Qiang is not surprised, if you want to say that such a big tribe hides in the mountains and does not come out, there must be some unknown past. Lin Qiang just sighed that this world is not bloodless, but in the face of absolute power, bravery is the most worthless thing.
Lin Qiang sighed and said, "Great Master, now we don't have to be afraid of those magicians anymore. Xiao Liangzi has come up with a weapon that can fight them. ”
Zhang Luoyang stared into Lin Qiang's eyes and said slowly, "Are you sure it's really okay?" ”
Zhang Feng also felt sad when he heard Zhang Luoyang's account of twenty years ago just now. But what makes him different from Zhang Luoyang is that he is actually thinking about revenge on the kingdom and the damned nobles all the time, but he has never had a chance.
Now, he wants to grasp it. So he opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, it's very powerful, and you will definitely be able to defeat those damn magicians." ”
The brothers naturally understood each other, Zhang Luoyang glanced at Zhang Feng deeply, and then sighed: "Third brother, those weapons are not good, you didn't say it." It's about really being useful to the magician's troops. At least the compound bow and crossbow are not enough. ”
Yan Xiaohuan, who didn't open his mouth much during the meeting, spoke at this time, and Yan Xiaohuan said: "Big boss, I've seen weapons." I use a compound bow, and I might win one-on-one. But even ten old men, with that weapon, I must have nowhere to escape. When there is a large-scale battle formation, there is also something called artillery, which is even sharper. A dense crowd, comparable to the full force of a high-level magician, and several cannonballs can be fired at the same time. ”
Zhang Luoyang was taken aback and asked, "How many cannons can be built by this cannon?" Liang Shuopeng said: "Endless, as long as there are enough materials and time, a hundred doors, a thousand doors, it is not a problem." And with the improvement of technology, guns and cannons can be stronger. ”
Lin Qiang naturally didn't interrupt their conversation, just observed the expressions of everyone present. There is no need to talk about crossing a few people, let alone the arquebus, what three or eight big covers, crooked handles, Makqin, if anything can be made in this world, the power is not something that people in this world can imagine.
And the cannons, cannons, howitzers, mortars, even if you make a grenadier, it's enough for a magician who needs to recite a spell with a wooden stick to drink a pot.
It's just that the people of this world have a much more exaggerated expression.
Cheng Shaowei and Robin and Hou Pai are the technical talents of this world, listening to what Liang Shuopeng said, the fanaticism on his face showed that he was technological. And a tribe like Zhang Luoyang has an incredible face, as if Liang Shuopeng is talking about a fantasy.
Lin Qiang coughed and said, "Okay, I can't say clearly, it's better to go and have a look." Big boss, are you interested in going to the barracks of the mine protection team? ”
Zhang Luoyang actually wanted to mention it just now, but he couldn't open his mouth because of etiquette. This Lin Qiang didn't know if he had roundworms in his stomach or what, but he actually saw what he was thinking. So Zhang Luoyang also coughed as a cover-up, then stood up and said, "Then I'll bother you." ”
It is also true that hearing is false and seeing is believing, and when everyone took Zhang Luoyang to a training ground in the back mountain, Zhang Luoyang sighed that what they said might be true.
The training ground in the back mountain was different from the battlefield of the fire drill that day. Around the mine village, the army could not make a big show. But in the back mountain, facing the empty mountain wall, the guns and cannons were really a good greeting.
Otherwise, the youth of the Moyan tribe are clamoring to join the mine protection team. Firepower is a man's romance, watching today's gun "bang bang" in the back mountain all day long, and tomorrow's cannon "boom boom", anyone is itching in their hearts.
But the prison inmates, including Huey, were more unlucky. Hearing this thunderous roar every day, his pants were peeed and never dried.
Zhang Luoyang looked at the mountain range with small eyes in the big hole that was bombarded, and also sighed in his heart: "What a powerful weapon this is, it can make the mountain this virtue." ”
