Iron blood Suiming

() (I just found out that the worms in the lazy house have rewarded 100 starting coins, thank you for your support, this is a great encouragement to me.)

Hearing the killing sounds of these dragons and tigers, most of Li Jianguo's worries disappeared immediately. The morale of his own soldiers was so high that he dared to fight against the celestial phenomena in the storm, so what was he afraid of.

At that moment, he sent someone to call the cooking team to come, and ordered him to find a way to boil some hot water. After the soldiers finished their training, they would take a hot bath and cook some ginger soup. It was necessary to ensure that every soldier could get a bowl of it. , to drive away the cold.

The cooking team is leaving with a sad face. Although this order is difficult to complete, the general's order must be completed no matter how difficult it is.

Unable to think of a way to use firearms in rainy days, Li Jianguo simply put it aside and stopped thinking about it, but rushed into the rain to train with the soldiers.When the soldiers saw that the commanders would brave the wind and rain to train with them, it was as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Everyone was full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit. In this boundless rain, every soldier's head unexpectedly had The mist rose up, showing the vigor of the soldiers' vigor and vigor, which had reached the extreme of the human body.

But after all, man is invincible, and man is determined to conquer nature. It’s just nonsense. Don’t say that if God is serious, no one can resist it. Even if God is not serious, no one can resist it.

The storm lasted for three hours at once. Feng Guoyong was afraid that the soldiers would be crippled, so he stopped training after only one and a half hours.

Sure enough, the cooking team lived up to Li Jianguo's entrustment, and each soldier was given a bowl of pungent ginger soup.What's even more rare is that he actually made every soldier take a hot bath.

Ginger soup is easy to make, but hot baths are difficult. The difficulty lies in making more than [-] people soak in hot water in a short period of time.Don't say that there are not so many wooden barrels, there are enough wooden barrels, and hot water does not just burn out.

But it has to be said that the wisdom of the people is infinite.The captain of the cooking soldiers actually braved the rain and brought his men to set up a big tent on the hillside that was ten feet long and ten feet wide. He dug a big pit in the tent that was half a person high and ten feet long and wide. Lay it with sewn oil paper, seal the seams with tung oil to slow down the loss of water, and then pour the hot water into the big pit to make an indoor bathhouse. He built three such indoor bathhouses. , At the same time, 300 people can take a bath.

It only took an hour for more than [-] people, and everyone took a hot bath.After washing and drinking a bowl of ginger soup, everyone is completely refreshed, without a trace of decadence.

This team is really talented, Li Jianguo was overjoyed, and immediately rewarded him with 100 taels of silver, and every cook soldier also rewarded him with a tael of silver.Since then, the tradition of digging pits and taking hot baths has been passed down in Li Kai's family until a long time later.

This good method directly improved the combat effectiveness of the army, reduced the spread of epidemics in the barracks, and strengthened the soldiers' bodies. The military strategists of later generations were amazed, but they were unable to verify the name of this soldier, because Li Jianguo did not ask, so No one remembers his name.

The reason why Li Jianguo didn't bother to ask was because he suddenly got a hint from it and found a good way for the Lumi blunderbuss to operate in the rain, that is to build a chariot. The air vent, whether it is sunny or rainy, prevents both arrow rain and heavy rain when shooting the gun.

Just after he called Feng Guoyong to discuss the matter of building a chariot, Feng Guoyong immediately took out the "Actual Records of Military Training". In the book, not only the method of building a chariot, but also "The Solution to the Coordinated Battalion of Chariots, Infantry, and Cavalry" .Only then did he know that General Qi had already thought of how to solve the musket's fear of rain.

Moreover, his military thinking is no worse than the so-called Butan coordination theory of later generations, on the contrary it is more advanced.This made Li Jianguo horrified. If Qi Jiguang was still alive and could gain the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, there would still be Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, Huang Taiji, Dorgon and his own way of life. The big guys would have committed suicide early in a row. thing.

The rain didn't stop until dark. During this period, the soldiers were not idle in the camp, but were listening to the soldiers who were familiar with muskets explaining the operation method of the Lumi gun, and they all saw the operation of the Lumi gun with their own eyes. kind.

Fortunately, the weather finally cleared up on the second day, and the Jianghu camp sent another seventy Lumi guns. Li Jianguo immediately began to train the soldiers according to the requirements in the military book.

In this way, after ten days of training, the craftsman camp has made a total of 640 Lumi guns, and the number of Lumi guns available in the camp has reached 100.The rest were sent back to Jianghu Village for repairs because their precision dropped after firing more than [-] shots in a row.

This is also helpless, the strength of the steel can support more than 100 guns before reducing the precision, which is already the limit.Li Jianguo also knew about these situations, and instead of embarrassing the craftsmen, he gave a lot of rewards instead.

This made Iron Cannon breathe a sigh of relief.In addition to being grateful, he strictly controlled the quality and ensured that an unqualified Lumi gun would not leave the village.

In addition to muskets, a Franc machine gun with a range of two hundred feet was also built.According to Tie DaPao, such a cannon craftsman, Hucun, can manufacture three cannons a month, which is already the limit, and if the speed is increased, the quality of the cannon will not be guaranteed.

Li Jianguo personally tried a round, and to his surprise, the craftsman camp could actually make explosive bombs, and the power was not weak enough to cover all enemies within ten meters of the bullet point.It's just that it is difficult to manufacture this kind of flower bombs, and only [-] can be manufactured in a month.

Even so, Li Jianguo was very satisfied. The war weapons in the late Ming Dynasty were very advanced, and they often gave him a lot of surprises. Regarding the approaching war, he couldn't wait to let his soldiers see blood. Soldiers who have fought in war can be called real elite soldiers.

During these ten days, Ma Ying's scouts kept sending news.Gaomi had been easily captured by two thousand soldiers from Laizhou Prefecture, led by General Hou Zongwu.

Moreover, Laizhou Prefecture is still recruiting troops. It is reported that 5000 people will be recruited.

There is also news from the Jiaozhou prefecture that the prefect of Jiaozhou has newly recruited 300 young and strong people, and more than [-] soldiers from various counties have formed an army of more than [-].

Qingzhou Mansion is the most ruthless. All the young and strong soldiers in the territory have assembled an army of [-]. Rumor has it that within seven days, they can march.

At this time, Li Jianguo had only summoned [-] soldiers. Although his total number of soldiers was still increasing every day, it was gradually decreasing compared to three days ago. Only three qualified soldiers were recruited yesterday. More than a dozen soldiers were recruited.

The influence of the three prefectures of Qinghai, Lai, and Jiaozhou finally arrived. Unlike Li Jianguo, they recruited soldiers regardless of whether you can lift heavy objects, whether you have diseases, and so on.As long as you have healthy limbs and can walk and run, even an eighty-year-old man or a seven-year-old child needs it.

Even in Wei Chuping's dreams, he would never have imagined that it was Wen Tiren, who had just been promoted to the chief assistant, who caused his misjudgment.Zhou Yanru finally resigned and returned to his hometown, but it was not Wen Tiren who drove him away, but his own resignation.
