Chapter 521 Leaving the system is just an ordinary person
"Brother, how many guns do you have?"

Huang Ban knew that what they lacked most now was weapons. They didn't have strong interpersonal relationships, so it was difficult to get guns.

Lian Jieguang, the younger brother of Jiabidan Lian Fuguang in the city, did get a few, but his brother didn't come forward, and he really couldn't get more.

Huang Ban didn't trust those famous people in the city either, and this emotional distrust was right.The massacre in history was that Lian Fuguang's order was to call the door of the Chinese from door to door, telling them not to come out and not to participate in the riots of the rebels, and to confiscate the weapons at the door, which led to the group of Chinese in the city during the massacre. People have no ability to fight back.

There is no way to contact the rich and powerful, lack of weapons, if there is a fight, I really have no idea.

"Guns... There are dozens of them. The brothers under my command are all good means. You know, there are not many soldiers. Brother Ban will also find some trustworthy players first, let's get together. If there are too many people There are many, but it is easy to mess up."

The people sent by the Privy Council knew that the Dutch were very wary of the Chinese. They were not allowed to serve in the army, nor were they allowed to touch guns to participate in military training. They would rather use Javanese.

The main reason is that the Javanese are too poor, while the Chinese are too rich.Those with money and those with guns cannot be the same group of people. This is a colonial rule of divide and rule.

There's a bunch of guns hidden in the sugar mill, and they're all good British stuff, Brown Bass.It was bought with real money, and there is no gun from Dashun Arsenal.

Because of Dashun’s musket lineage, the arquebus is from Safi Persia, and the flintlock is from France. If you hold a Dashun’s gun, you can tell by looking at the lineage.

The Privy Council also wanted to disgust the Anglo-Dutch relationship, spent money to get brown bass, and even forged some letters in English and put them in the sugar factory.

There are not many people in the Boyer Army and the Privy Council, but they can all be officers.There are also some people in the sugar factory who have received simple military training, but they have never touched a gun, for fear of leaking the news.

Although Huang Ban didn't know where these people came from, he heard that there were guns, and there were dozens of them, and that his brothers knew how to play with guns, so he knew in his heart that these people were not ordinary people.

But which side it is from, Huang Ban doesn't know.

There are mixed fish and dragons in this place. They may be pirates, sea thieves, the group of gold diggers in Borneo, or those from other Western countries who serve as mercenaries for the regimes in various places. It is possible.

But it doesn't matter which side they are on, if you can stand with people like yourself at this time, you are friends.Let's talk about the future.

"Since that's the case, let's call together the brothers who can fight together and form a team of 300 people. Those who can use firecrackers form a team, and those who can't use machetes and spearheads. It's not too late. Let's fight in the evening. See you at the sugar factory."

"Row!"

The people from several parties have made an agreement, and each left to prepare.

The members of the Privy Council returned to the sugar factory, took out dozens of brand-new brown basses from the hidden wooden boxes, and took out the lead bullets wrapped in paper, and distributed them.

In the battle at the northern foot of the Altai Mountains, Zhang Sanbiao, who made meritorious service by killing Cering Dunduobu and was incorporated into the children's army with the status of a good family son, is no longer the half-old drummer in that army.

After being incorporated into the children's army and becoming the emperor's personal army, he was sent to Nanyang to hibernate. After a few years, his shoulders became wider and his face darkened. He is no longer the one who wears a military cap and has to push it up with his hands from time to time to avoid blocking his eyes. child.

Touching the familiar but somewhat different musket, touching the brass trigger, he couldn't help laughing: "If you have a gun in your hand, don't panic. Damn, this British gun is really good. Back then when we were training with the military trainers, we used sticks at first."

The people in the sugar factory included both the Privy Council and the Emperor's Pro-Army Boyer Army, but most of the [-] or [-] people were brought out by Liu Yu.

Some are called military training envoys, some are called Xuegong Supervisors, some are called Jiedu envoys, and some are called Ying Sabo. Just by listening to the names, you can roughly know when you went to Weihai, and you can probably guess where it is. Those who were incorporated into the emperor's pro-army because of their meritorious service were those who came from the official school of Jinghai Palace and followed the route of staff such as the Privy Council.

Those who can be transferred to dormant in Nanyang are not ordinary people.But Zhang Sanbiao's meritorious service in killing Xiao Celing Dunduobu through shit luck on the battlefield is not comparable to anyone.He is the youngest, and everyone here knows that his name was given by Liu Yu, and everyone takes good care of him on weekdays.

The leader sent by the Privy Council laughed and said: "It's a pity, Sanbiao, you are playing the drums. It's useless for this group of people to play the drums. They haven't practiced, and they don't understand the drums. This Wars are not easy to fight."

Zhang Sanbiao also nodded, knowing that the most important thing in military training in Weihai is queue and discipline, and shooting back is second.The revised tactical system of the Dashun Army requires rapid formation changes and high maneuverability of the columns, and the requirements for the speed of alignment fire are not too high.

These people were either of professional background, or veterans who survived the battlefield and were transferred to the emperor's army. Don't look at the ease and ambush they said before, but in fact, they all have no idea.

It is difficult for these untrained Chinese to form an army in the short term.

"Isn't my second brother the gunner on the warship? He said that everyone on the warship is very brave and ruthless, but everyone knows that they are nothing without their partners. It depends on the entire system. As a gunner, he can't sail the ship, and the captain may not be able to shoot."

"It's the same with us in the army. Now there is no such thing as an enemy like Zhang Zhang. Even an officer can't do anything if he doesn't have a group of trained soldiers. The Dutch often train here. We There is no artillery, so it is really difficult to fight. During the chaos of the Ministry of Pingzhun, we also relied on artillery. To be honest, I have never fought without artillery."

Zhang Sanbiao said that these people can only rely on the existing system, and that they have never fought without artillery, and he said every word in the hearts of everyone.

Only a dozen or so of them could really fight. If they were supplemented by soldiers from Dashun's new barracks, these people could be company commanders.

But without recruits, and relying on those Nanyang Chinese who have never fought or even touched guns, it is difficult for them to use their methods.I am familiar with the drills and read the military books thoroughly, but without well-trained soldiers and a supporting system, it seems that it is difficult to do anything.

The people at the Privy Council couldn't help sighing: "I can't complain that since ancient times, there has been no military force better than that of Huaiyin. I think so, if I have this ability, wouldn't I have the ability of the Marquis of Huaiyin?"

"The matter has come to this point, there is no other way, just go ahead. The people from the imperial court should come soon. Before they come, they must win at least one battle, so that the Dutch do not dare to do anything. In Bacheng. If the people from the imperial court come, our affairs will be considered as finished."

After relaxing everyone's hearts, everyone also knew to do their best and obey the destiny, and they all became quiet.Or carefully check the action on your musket, or rub the flint to try for sparks.

In the evening, Huang Ban, Lian Huaiguan and others led the capable people also arrived.

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Ban felt that these people were definitely from the army. They didn't have the so-called brave spirit of these gangsters, but a kind of dullness.

Knowing that there was going to be a battle with the Dutch, Huang Ban's confidant brothers were all gearing up and eager to try, and their excitement was beyond words.

As for the dozen or so people in the sugar factory, it seemed that there was no difference between a big battle and eating, shitting and sleeping.After Huang Ban and others came in, they still wiped their guns there calmly, neither scared nor excited.

Seeing this posture, Huang Ban asked Lian Huaiguan in a low voice: "What are the origins of these brothers?"

Lian Huaiguan knew it well, but only said: "I don't know the specific origin. But they are all capable, and they are also gentlemen, so they made friends with each other."

Huang Ban was skeptical, knowing that he would not say anything, so he stopped asking, but said to the leader sent by the Privy Council: "Brother, I have already brought over all those who are brave and have practiced for several years. . How do you see it?"

Zhang Sanbiao, who was silently using clips to melt lead to clip bullets, looked up a few times, thinking that these people can't do it.

When training soldiers in Weihai back then, the adults only said that the best soldiers should be trained to the point of being stupefied.

What is dumbfounded?Shoulder to shoulder line of flintlock guns, lead bullets shattered the head of his comrade, blood and brains splashed all over his face, he listened to the drums and walked forward without even looking at him. A brother who stirs rice in a ladle, this is the strong army at this time.

These people are far from stupefied, they are about the same as the group of government soldiers, and they are okay to fight with the wind, but if you really expect them to fight against the line, they will definitely not work.

That group of government soldiers is, howling before the battle, they can't hold the line of resistance and run away, grab the loot, one is the top three, chasing the fleeing enemy army, the head can be chopped off by one person, and the horse's back is full, and the attack is not going well, who can run faster than anyone else All fast.

The person in the Privy Council was from a professional background, and Zhang Sanbiao could see things, he could see them at a glance.It's just that it's not easy to dampen everyone's enthusiasm at this time, so he said: "It's good if you come. Those who touched the gun will find it and take it away."

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked someone to bring up the gun.

Huang Ban looked at the brand-new musket, and then looked at the English letters engraved on the musket that he couldn't recognize.
But it is definitely not from the Netherlands. The Dutch have no reason to make such trouble.To arrest people, we only need to promulgate a decree: arrest all Chinese.It can still be said that Batavia is law-abiding.

Huang Ban touched the gun himself, and went to get one himself, and the rest of the people also picked out some who had touched the gun.

"Do you know how to use it? In the past few days, let's learn how to use a gun in the sugar factory. It's quiet here, and people can watch it outside, and no one will notice."

After all, he gave a wink to the few people behind, and a few former scouts went out to guard with their guns, and they acted smoothly, as if they had been in the army.

Although people with guns have touched guns, they may not have touched flintlocks. Many of them have used matchlocks, birdcups, etc. This flintlock was only used by Dutch soldiers. It really won't work.

Fortunately, the sugar factory that was selected at the beginning, including the sugar cane garden, was located in a remote place in the suburbs, and there was a large area of ​​woods outside, which could just block the gunshots.

Take out the means of training recruits in the past, save the queue and discipline exercises, just teach these people how to load, fire and aim.

…………

in the city.

The governor of Batavia is listening to the suggestions of Lian Fuguang and William Claes, to capture the thief first, capture the king first, and first arrest and torture the prestigious leaders among the several Chinese slave laborers who took the lead in making trouble.

"My lord governor, as long as the leaders are arrested, the rest will be a flock of sheep and nothing will go wrong."

"People in our city are very supportive of the governor's move to clean up the U-shirt party and the no-pants party. This is the correct way to maintain the law and order in Batavia."

Lian Fuguang made a serious suggestion to the governor, hoping that his suggestion could let the governor know that although they and those people outside the city are all Chinese, they will never be the same people.
