The rise of the poor

Chapter 1760
Zhu Ping'an gave an order to the Zhejiang Army that everyone should practice equestrianism, riding, shooting and chopping from now on. At present, equestrianism is the main method, and riding and shooting and chopping are supplemented. But everyone can ride a horse.

Of course, the riding shot here refers to the fire gun, not the bow and arrow.

Easy to order, hard to practice.

First of all, the newly bought horses and mules were not used to the sound of firearms. As soon as the firearms were set, the horses and mules were frightened, neighing and running around, and it took a lot of effort to calm them down.

In order to let them get used to firearms as soon as possible, Zhu Ping'an ordered the soldiers to practice firearms near the horses, so that they could get used to the movement of firearms as soon as possible.

This is how the horses in the previous army were adapted.

In addition, it is not easy to set firearms on horseback. First, the existing firearms of the Zhejiang Army are too long and not suitable for immediate shooting, which is not very convenient; secondly, it is too difficult to load firearms on horseback, which is much more difficult than on the ground. .

In fact, Zhu Ping'an knew that the fire gun suitable for shooting immediately was not an arquebus, but a flintlock gun.However, the technology is limited.

Zhu Ping'an could only tell the equipment battalion the limited knowledge of flintlock guns he knew, and develop their ideas, so that they could avoid detours and develop flintlock guns as soon as possible, but it would be out of action in a short time.

The trigger alone is an insurmountable ditch, not to mention the hammer, spring, and flint.

However, with the right path, they can definitely greatly speed up their research and development.

The future is expected.

When the Zhe Military Academy was dusty and the soldiers were sweating like rain in the cold winter, the uncle Zhu Shouren, Hu Wei and Xia Qiang were a little proud.

At noon, when they reluctantly left the camp and were about to hold their noses and wait in line to get food, a soldier came from a distance with a food box.

At first, the uncle Zhu Shouren and the others thought they were delivering meals to Zhu Ping'an. After all, Zhu Ping'an was the top commander of the Zhejiang Army, and it was his right to enjoy this privilege. As for the end of the line, it was unnecessary.

"Hehe, Brother Zhu, look at what we said, it still has an impact on Lord Zhu. Look, this is not a small kitchen."

Hu Wei smiled slightly and whispered to his uncle Zhu Shouren.

"This is a good start." Xia Qiang also smiled, "In the future, Lord Zhu will accept more of our opinions."

"It would be great if we also had this treatment." Uncle Zhu Shouren said with some regret, "It's really cheap to queue up for dinner with those big bosses. Even if you don't know the characters, you can even be in front of them."

"Yeah, it would be nice if we had this treatment." Xia Qiang couldn't help but nodded, his eyes full of yearning.

He is not longing for a meal, but for the power and status behind the meal.

"There will be such a day." Hu Wei patted Xia Qiang on the shoulder and said slowly with confidence.

"Let's go quickly, my nephew has a small stove, and I definitely won't go to the queue. I don't want to eat leftovers and soup."

The uncle shook his head and urged.

"Let's go." Xia Qiang and Hu Wei nodded and walked forward quickly. They didn't want to eat the leftover soup from the big head soldiers.

They walked forward quickly, and when they were about to meet the soldiers on the opposite side carrying the food boxes, the soldiers reached out to them to say hello, took two quick steps with the food boxes, "Secretary Zhu, Secretary Hu, Secretary Xia."

Secretary, um, yes, this is a good name, at least there is an official word, after listening to the uncle, he felt as if he had drank fine wine and brewed in his heart.

The same goes for Hu Wei and Xia Qiang.

After nodding their heads, the three continued to move forward without stopping. They had to rush to line up. The morning experience had just passed, so it would be hard for them to jump in line.

Seeing that they didn't want to stop, the soldiers carrying the food boxes couldn't help but shouted to stop them, "Secretary Zhu, Secretary Hu, Secretary Xia, what are you doing? Are you not eating?"

That said, we don't eat, we eat air? !We don't have the treatment of nephew/Master Zhu.

"Go to the kitchen to line up for food." The uncle and the three of them felt that the soldier's words were a little inexplicable.

"Secretary Zhu, Secretary Hu, and Secretary Xia, why are you lining up? Your lord asked me to deliver meals to you. Your lord said that you are different from us. The situation is special. You need to prepare for the exam, so let us deliver the three meals a day to you in the future."

Soldier explained.

"Ah?! This is the meal for us?" Uncle and the three of them couldn't help opening their mouths in surprise.

"Yeah. In the future, the three secretaries will not have to queue for three meals a day. We will deliver them to you on time."

The soldier repeated it.

"Did you hear that? This is the meal for us." Uncle Zhu Shouren and the three of them looked at each other and couldn't help but look surprised.

They were still thinking just now, when will they get this treatment, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Thank you, thank you, I will trouble you in the future." Hu Wei was the first to react, nodding his head to thank the soldiers.

"Cough cough, then mention it in the tent." The uncle coughed, and Fan Er got up in an instant.

The three returned to the tent again, and after the soldier who delivered the meal left, the three couldn't help but look at each other and laughed.

"Master Zhu specially asked people to deliver meals to us. He must have recognized our skills and gave us this treatment." Xia Qiang opened the food box and looked at the food in the box, and couldn't help saying excitedly.

"It's natural. The so-called gold always shines. The three of us are real gold that is not afraid of fire. It is the righteousness to be discovered by our nephew." Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded without modesty and agreed.

"It must be our answer last time, which made Lord Zhu look up to him, and that gave us attention and treatment."

Hu Wei analyzed.

"Definitely." Xia Qiang followed, and then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, the book that Lord Zhu read just now, and the military attache who explained our affairs, failed to inspire us. Otherwise, Lord Zhu would still be impressed."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we have no problem with our thinking, there will be many opportunities. Let me tell you, my nephew likes to read books. When I was a child, when my nephew went to the thatched hut, he read it with a book in his hand. My nephew returned the account at noon, Of course, it is also hard to put it down, and when we go to the handsome nephew’s tent in the afternoon, we will definitely gain something.”

Uncle Zhu Shouren said indifferently.

In the afternoon, before they could go to Zhu Ping's handsome tent, another good thing came.

This afternoon, the Zhejiang army paid out salaries, and they also received one or two and a half taels of silver, and they also received five taels of silver for settling in.

This made them even more excited, and it was more certain that Zhu Ping'an recognized their talents and values ​​and treated them with such courtesy.

More and more happy.
