Traveler Major League

Chapter 71 The period of great development

Two soldiers carried a stretcher into the back hall, and the person on the stretcher was covered with wounds and was dying. Liu Ze saw the shiny bald head on the stretcher at a glance, and felt a sense of familiarity. When he took a closer look, he found that It turned out to be Brother Heigou who set off with him, but now his leg seems to have been severely injured and fractured. When he saw Liu Ze, his eyes regained the brilliance, and he opened his mouth and barked .

Liu Ze hurriedly stopped in front of Heigou, leaned over and held his hand and said, "Brother Heigou, who is this?"

The black dog on the stretcher was still barking "Woooooooo", but it was more sad and angry than before. His eyes were filled with tears, but he opened them wide, but he refused to let the tears flow out. He persisted for a long time. After a while, the black dog couldn't hold back anymore, and tears still flowed down his face.

Liu Ze felt that his hand holding the black dog was getting wet, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Wang Shanbao quickly explained: "I took people to the county prison to find the brother Wang's fellow countryman. His leg was broken and his tongue was pulled out by the dog officer! I can't hear anymore!"

"Ah, this is it?" The black dog was extremely brave. Liu Ze had been wondering where the black dog was before, why such a big disturbance in the county town hadn't alerted his group of people, and he didn't expect to find him in the county prison .

Seeing Liu Ze's question, the master stepped forward tremblingly: "Commander, this person was tortured under the order of the dead dog officer. During that time, the people in the city were summoned to Zhuang Xiangyong, so I didn't want to alarm this person. Maybe it was because the officers and soldiers arrested them. , These dozens of people are also heroes, they even went straight out of the city and ran towards the mountainous area to the west. Before they ran halfway, they were chased by Mr. Liang with his cavalry. They were all slaughtered."

"Step to ride, it's really not easy, just a few dozen?"

"Exactly. Vice President Liang said he had 38 heads chopped off and returned."

"Hey, wasn't it two hundred when you came? Why are there only a few dozen?" Liu Ze asked strangely.

Wang Shanbao on the side speculated, "Maybe they have divided their troops?"

"Maybe." Liu Ze knelt down and said to the black dog, "Brother Dog, don't worry, I have already killed the county magistrate dog officer to avenge you, and the Qianhu surnamed Liang and his soldiers and servants have also been killed. Let's kill it! As for the future, you don't have to worry about it, I will send someone to take care of you, if you two brothers, I will definitely not abandon you!"

Liu Ze remembered that the black dog gave a speech to the captives in the square of Majiazhai when he first crossed. At that time, he always laughed and liked to touch his own shiny bald head. Later, he attacked Chengcheng. Liu Ze wanted to lead troops to collect food. Although the black dog didn't give Liu Ze recruits directly, it also made it easier for Liu Ze. No matter how much time passed, Liu Ze always remembered this feeling in his heart. He thought that the black dog was a hard stone. A kind-hearted, iron-blooded man who only cares about his second brother, but who knows that he also has a soft side that day, and he will take the initiative to help others, and he will also be embarrassed.

Liu Ze looked at the black dog on the stretcher that was still whining and weeping, and sighed helplessly. It has only been a short month since he traveled here, but so many things have happened. Liu Ze never thought about it. I wish that I, who stayed in the Ming Dynasty, would take the initiative to build an army for the common people of the world, and made some achievements, but the black dog who wanted to live and do great things, but now he can no longer speak or stand up.

The world is impermanent, if you can live a day, you have to live a good day.

Liu Ze pursed his lips, shook his head to pull himself back from his sad mood, and waved his hand, asking the soldiers to send the black dog to the field hospital for better care.

I just said a few words to the subordinate who was reporting, and the breakfast was delivered. The guards watched the food cooked by the cook in the county office one by one. The portion was enough for dozens of people. Liu Ze picked it up and ate it. When he was full, he took people and food to inspect and distribute in various places in the county.

Successive victories have brought Liu Ze's prestige to the highest point in this army. Who would have thought that Liu Ze, who was almost turned into bacon and angry with a book last month, captured a county by himself in just one month , and even beheaded a deputy Qianhu to take down the Weisuo City.

But Liu Ze is not proud, because he knows that there is still a long way to go.

The first thing to do to capture the county this time is to open warehouses and release food, and at the same time recruit and reorganize the troops. Now the four companies that are simply reorganized are not enough. On this basis, we have compiled a main battalion and a militia battalion. The main battalion is divided into The four combat companies, the battalion headquarters, and several platoons directly under the battalion, all captured horses were distributed to the reconnaissance and communication platoons of the battalion headquarters.

Each platoon is assigned a tiger squat gun, and each squad is reinforced with explosive packs to increase firepower.

The matchlock guns were assigned to the firepower platoon of the battalion headquarters, and the archers were unified into a bow and arrow platoon, plus the artillery platoon formed by the tiger squatting guns and Franco machine guns captured in the guards, plus a squad of gendarmerie squads dedicated to enforcing military law and discipline , together forming a main camp of more than 600 people.

All weapons and equipment can be used by the main battalion, and the corresponding militia battalion only uses the remaining equipment as a defensive force.

In addition, there is another great event, that is, Liu Ze has been promoted, and he is a self-proclaimed commander, part-time battalion commander and principal of the military academy.

A few new establishments are worth one point, and the few veterans who have participated in several battles have also been promoted.

The next step is to gather all the craftsmen in the city to set up an equipment department, which is responsible for the development and manufacture of weapons and civilian equipment, and turns all the simple technologies in Liu Ze's mind into reality.

The seized cloth cannot be left idle, and women from all over the city are organized to make daily necessities such as shoes, leggings, clothing, backpacks, etc. for the soldiers. Because time is tight, everything is carried out day and night. In order to increase enthusiasm, Liu Ze Adopt the strategy of paid labor, receive materials for free, and pay wages according to the piece. The wages can be either silver or grain.

This inspired the unprecedented enthusiasm of the poor women, and in just two days and one night, they drove out [-] sets of clothing and equipment.

Taking into account the wearing habits of the new military uniform, it still uses the military uniform of the Ming Dynasty as a template, and only changes the color to gray-black, which is easy to print and dye.

The backpack belts are also the same easy-to-dye gray-black color, but the backpack here is a new style, designed and made by Liu Ze himself, similar to a modern hiking backpack.

Lined with rattan to increase the bearing capacity, the outermost layer is ordinary thick linen, and under the linen is an oilcloth. The oilcloth here is a fabric coated with dry vegetable oil, which has good water resistance and is often used as a rainproof material. It was invented in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the coating technology continued to develop in the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, with rich varieties, and even produced oiled silk and oiled silk, which are still in use today.

This kind of multi-functional backpack is very popular among soldiers. It can hold clothes and sundries inside, and fix small quilts on the outside. There are also pockets for water bottles on both sides, which has many functions.

Moreover, each person is equipped with two standard water bottles, both of which are made of bamboo tubes and sealed with cork stoppers.

This finally looks like a modern army!
