Chapter 523 The Japanese Suppression Operation Begins!
In fact, Shen Yi doesn't know exactly what era this era corresponds to in the other world, but he has also read many history books of this era and knows that it has been more than 100 years since the artillery appeared at this moment.

As for the history of the militarization of gunpowder, it has been hundreds of years.

If we simply calculate based on the history of the development of gunpowder, then the foreigners of this era may indeed be ahead of the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of firearms.

And what made Shen Yi envious the most was naturally the matchlock gun.

You must know that the effective killing distance of the firecrackers produced by the Dachen Bingzhan Bureau is probably only a dozen or twenty steps, which is very limited, while the matchlock gun can already achieve a range of more than 80 meters and a killing distance of about [-] meters.

However, the matchlock guns appeared in another world, the European continent. It is not an easy task to contact them and then abduct their people, let alone a matter that can be accomplished overnight in a short period of time.

The first thing Shen Yi had to do was to find a foreigner from the West and determine how advanced their technology was.

This matter, Shen Yi ordered Jiang Sheng to go down and inform the Di Baosi, and let the Di Baosi handle it for him.

But these are all for the future. For now, the combat power and equipment of the anti-Japanese army are more than enough to deal with the Japanese pirates. As for things like matchlock guns, there is a high probability that they will face stronger enemies in the future.

After visiting the barracks, the dock and the firearms workshop, Master Shen got a general understanding of the situation, and soon got into a working state, and began to take charge of the training of the anti-Japanese army and deal with the harassment of Japanese pirates.

Soon, half a month passed.

Now because of the stationing of the anti-Japanese army, there are basically no Japanese pirates in eastern Zhejiang, but there are still many bandits along the coast of Guangdong. Therefore, while maintaining the basic training of the anti-Japanese army, Shen Yi sent a thousand anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers , led by Ling Su, went to Guangdong to suppress the Japanese.

Once Ling Su left, it meant that Xue Weilai was in charge of the daily training of the anti-Japanese army in Yueqing.

Compared with Ling Su, Xue Wei was undoubtedly stricter when training soldiers. Because of this, Xue Wei's popularity among the anti-Japanese army was not as good as Ling Su's overall, but this was relatively Said.

After all, the people under Xue Wei's hands are more fierce in fighting, and they are more likely to make meritorious deeds.

Among the more than 20 hundred households, seven or eight were brought out by Xue Wei.

As time passed, Yueqing also quickly entered spring, and the weather gradually became warmer. On this day, Mr. Shen was basking in the sun in the yard of his residence in Yueqing City. Jiang Sheng, who had already changed into thick clothes, , stepped into the yard, came to Shen Yi's side, bowed his head slightly and said: "Master, Xue Qianhu is here."

Jiang Sheng paused, then continued: "Xue Qianhu even brought someone here."

Shen Yi stretched his waist, and said lazily: "Just let them in."

Jiang Sheng bowed his head and answered yes, then turned his head and quickly brought Xue Wei in. Behind Xue Wei, he brought a young man similar to his age. After seeing Shen Yi, Xue Wei knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Subordinate Xue Wei, pay homage to Master Shen!"

The man behind him also half-kneeled down.

"I have met Master Shen."

Only then did Shen Yi stand up from the reclining chair. He first asked the two of them to get up to answer, and then looked at the young man behind Xue Wei. He felt quite familiar. After frowning for a while, Shen Yi vaguely remembered What, he patted his forehead and said, "This...is that the young man who killed a Japanese pirate last year when he was fighting Japanese pirates in Linhai?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that the surname is Wan..."

Hearing Shen Yi's words, the young man was a little excited, and once again bowed his head to Shen Yi and said: "Master Shen, the villain Wan Zhong, I am sorry for Mr. Shen..."

"Wan Zhong..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "Remember, at that time Linhaiwei killed three Japanese pirates in total, Ling Qianhu killed one, Xue Wei killed one, and you killed one, but you were also hacked by Japanese pirates."

"Heal now?"

Xue Wei grinned, stretched out his hand and patted Wan Zhong's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "How about it, let me just say that Mr. Shen still remembers you!"

Wan Zhong looked excited, bowed his head to Shen Yi and said: "Yes, the villain's injury has been completely healed..."

Shen Yi withdrew his gaze, looked at Xue Wei, and smiled lightly: "How do you say it?"

Xue Wei bowed his head respectfully and said: "Master Shen, Brother Wan is also a rare and brave person. After he recovered from his injuries, he came to find his subordinates, and wanted to join the Anti-Japanese Army to serve the country..."

Shen Yi smiled: "You are now a thousand households of the Anti-Japanese Army, leading someone into the Anti-Japanese Army is not a matter of your words?"

"It's not about entering the Anti-Japanese Army..."

Xue Wei scratched his head: "Your subordinate told Wan Zhong, Mr. Shen, you are a man of your word. Whatever rewards you gave to your subordinates, you will also be rewarded. Wan Zhong didn't believe it. That's why your subordinates dragged him here. See you."

"Reward..."

Shen Yi frowned and thought for a while before he remembered what happened last year.

Last year when the anti-Japanese army was first established, there were really no useful people under his command. Therefore, Xue Wei, who "buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars" and killed two Japanese pirates, was directly promoted to the general banner, and was promoted to the trial hundred soon after. households, then a hundred households, and now a thousand households.

The reward for killing the pirates must have been given to Wan Zhong, and what Xue Wei is talking about now is probably the reward for an official position.

Shen Yi frowned unobtrusively, looked at Xue Wei, lowered his eyebrows and said: "Back then you killed a pirate, and the official position given to you was the general banner, as for Brother Wan..."

Master Shen thought for a while, and then said: "Half a year has passed, so it's another matter, but you brought it over yourself and gave him a position as the general banner, but..."

He glanced at Xue Wei, and said in a deep voice: "But this position cannot be given directly. Brother Wan has been recuperating for more than half a year, and a lot of training has fallen behind. He will train with the anti-Japanese army for three months. After three months , Find a vacancy in the general banner to supply him."

The reason why Master Shen is so generous is that on the one hand, he wants to give Xue Wei some face, and more importantly, the anti-Japanese army as a whole is very short of grassroots officers, and the small flags and general flags are all lacking. If they can be given out, they will be given away.

When Wan Zhong heard this, an ecstatic expression immediately appeared on his face. He immediately knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow to Shen Yi. In the middle of the war, you must train well, first of all, you must be able to use the wolf dog, and more importantly, some training on the ship will be more important in the future."

"If you have practiced well, if you are the general banner, others will not be unconvinced."

Wan Zhong nodded quickly, with a respectful expression.

"And you."

Shen Yi turned his head to look at Xue Wei, and said lightly: "If you don't come today, I will go to find you in the afternoon."

Xue Wei scratched his head and smiled innocently: "What do you want from me?"

Shen Yi looked at Jiang Sheng who was on the side.

"Go and get Xue Qianhu the map on the desk in my study."

Jiang Sheng responded, and quickly fetched a map and handed it to Xue Wei.

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "This is a map of an island along the coast of Taizhou Prefecture, named Wusha Island."

"It's the lair of the Japanese pirate Wang Xian."

Master Shen said slowly: "I'll give you five days to thoroughly understand this picture. After five days, we will go out to sea and destroy Wang Xian."

Xue Wei was taken aback.

"Master Shen, the ship...hasn't been built yet?"

"Use small boats first, and I will ask people to requisition a batch of boats."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows silently: "Before Ling Qianhu comes back, clean up this gang of Japanese pirates."

He looked up at Xue Wei and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Xue Wei immediately bowed his head and slowly cupped his fists.

"Subordinates obey!"

　Today is the author's birthday, so the update is late... In a blink of an eye, I am already 29 years old, and I am already [-] years old, and I am in my thirties... I feel a lot of emotion!
