Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 265 Water Margin Courier
The speed of drawing the gun must be fast, and the posture must be handsome. After all, it is not a war, it is just a demonstration, and it is necessary to be handsome.

With the revolving wheel in hand, there was no need to aim, and there were five bang bang bang bangs without a pause in between. Looking at the five wooden figures, they were all smashed to pieces.

If this is true, it will be five lives. This speed and accuracy are second to none.

Ma Ling, Xu Jin, and Wu Neng were all stunned. This weapon is too powerful, much stronger than themselves.

Ma Ling is a very arrogant person, he can hit gold bricks, the so-called gold bricks are a hidden weapon, a long strip of brass, two by two, although it may not look big, but it hurts a lot on the forehead, his method is not the same as No Feather Arrow is very similar to Zhang Qing, and it can be regarded as a trick that is popular all over the world. When the generals are facing the battle, a gold brick is hit on the forehead, and the pain is howling. .

But at this moment, Ma Ling gave up the idea of ​​hitting gold bricks. Compared with Chai Zhuangzhu's firecrackers, his own skills are insignificant.

Chai Meng said to the twenty scouts: "Brothers, let's try our hand."

Twenty scouts were shooting small human-shaped targets 50 meters away. Each of them stood and held their guns, bang bang bang bang bang. Each of them fired five bullets. The smoke is billowing, quite choking.

Ma Ling was so surprised that he couldn't speak. This is popularized by others, and everyone has a hand.

Ma Ling said to Shi Xiu: "Brother Shi Xiu, I thought you were bragging when you said it, but now it seems that you deliberately kept it conservative."

Chai Lin said: "Since the Ma Ling brothers want to start a career, Chaijiazhuang is the best choice, let's take a look at our artillery."

Since you are showing your muscles, you have to show them convincingly and take away your admiration.

Chai Meng also put down his capital, and even brought in two [-]-caliber General Cannons.

Chai Meng tore off the cannon coat, and four artillerymen went up to start loading. They had already wrapped the dose in paper, loaded it quickly, and put in the solid iron eggs.

Ma Ling looked at the huge cannon barrel, the dark cannon body was speechless, not knowing what kind of firearm it was.

"Stand back and plug your ears," Chai Meng said.

Everyone blocked their ears and watched from behind. Not to mention Ma Ling, even Shi Xiu was seeing this thing for the first time. This thing probably weighs several hundred catties, and such a big pipe is scary to look at.

Chai Meng lit the fuze with a torch, the fuze was very short, there were two loud bangs, flames and thick smoke spewed out from the muzzle, and the solid iron egg had already disappeared.

Ma Ling was shocked. Before he came, he thought that Chai Lin was just an old rich man in the country, with a nursing home of three hundred and two hundred, and a Zhuang Ding of three thousand and five thousand, what could he do.I even thought that Tianhu was stronger, but when I came, I realized that I was wrong, and it was outrageously wrong.

Ma Ling asked: "Master, how far can this big general's cannon hit, how far can the revolver gun go?"

Chai Lin said: "The solid bullets of the general cannon cannon fire more than three miles away, and the distance of the revolver cannon is very short. The range is similar to that of a bow and arrow, but it can fire five bullets at a time, and can penetrate armor within [-] feet. But it is a pity that it is expensive. They are more expensive and cannot be equipped on a large scale, currently there are only a few hundred.”

Ma Ling almost didn't vomit blood, such a powerful thing, something that can kill at once, a few hundred is not enough, if it is used to steal camps and rob villages, hundreds of people can take the head of a general out of ten thousand troops.

Ma Ling sighed: "Once the wheel fire gun comes out, the pattern of wars in the future will change, and there will no longer be any front-line fighters. Why don't you make more money and equip your men with wheel fire?" What about guns?"

"It's not all because of the money, but the short range and poor accuracy of the revolving gun. I'm designing a new one. Besides, isn't this artillery stronger? If there are hundreds of such artillery, what kind of city is there?" I can resist it." Chailin said with a smile.

Ma Ling turned to the two brothers and said, "I plan to officially join Chaijiazhuang, Xu Jin and Wu Neng, what are your plans?"

Xu Jin said: "You are my two masters, we listen to you."

The three worshiped: "Joining brother, I am willing to do my best for my brother's great cause."

Chai Lin supported him with both hands, and said, "Whether it is a great cause or not, that is a matter of the future. The first thing to do is to develop Chaijiazhuang, dig deep holes, accumulate more grain, and make more money. The right way."

Ma Ling said: "What my brother said is that we all listen to my brother's arrangement."

Chai Lin smiled and said: "Our Chaijiazhuang has acquired three rare talents, let's go, let's go back to the inn and talk about it in detail."

Back at Chaijiazhuang Inn, everyone else was busy.

Chai Lin and Ma Ling were still in the guest room, and Chai Lin said: "I am very happy that Brother Ma Ling can come. I just don't know where Brother Ma Ling wants to develop. We are divided into cavalry, infantry, and sailors." Army and military information transmission office. Cavalry is divided into light cavalry and heavy cavalry. Infantry is divided into light infantry, heavy infantry, and new-style firearms."

Ma Ling said: "I am willing to make money for my brother like Brother Shixiu. My brother's wheel guns and general guns are very powerful. If there are [-] gunners, hundreds of artillery are enough to sweep the world, but this The cost of the two weapons is too high, so I decided to make money for my brother first, and when I have accumulated enough, my brother will transfer me to the barracks."

What Ma Ling said is quite surprising. Most warriors don't like business, and they don't like new weapons. Ma Ling has a very unique vision, starting with making money.

"Brother Ma Ling thinks so, it is commendable, but running a business is very hard." Chailin said.

So Ma Ling settled down and became the Second Intelligence Division, which is responsible for inquiring and distributing various commercial and military intelligence.Of course, without so much military intelligence, Ma Ling was mostly a courier delivering letters and samples in the early days, contributing to the expansion of business routes.Of course, at the same time, he has to be responsible for inquiring about the goods, products, and recruiting talents that Chaijiazhuang needs.The scope does not need to be too wide, mainly in Shandong, Hebei, and Henan.

Although Ma Ling has become the Second Intelligence Division, he can't go to work directly. First, he has to train from the reconnaissance camp for a month to learn some disciplines and regulations of Chaijiazhuang, the sign language used by spies, secret codes, and the use of various weapons.

At the morning meeting this morning, the three-way drum sounded, and the generals lined up on both sides.

Chai Lin said: "I said some time ago that I found a small island in the sea to grow grass and raise horses. But this island is between the Koreans and the Dongying people. It is a place where four wars were fought. We need someone who is used to fighting." The general passed."

"Someone is willing to go." Lin Chong said.

Lu Da said, "Let's go home."

Chai Lin thought for a while and said, "All the other battalions have participated in the battle, but Battalion Commander Lu's Sword and Shield Battalion has only sent out one mission. This time, we will send the Sword and Shield Battalion."

Lu Da was overjoyed and said, "That's great, the Sa family hasn't been out to sea yet."

"Battalion Commander Lu immediately led the Sword and Shield Battalion to the port, and conducted a boating exercise with the navy to send back the soldiers who were severely seasick," said Chai Lin.

"Yes." Ruda said and walked out.

Li Kui was in Daodun camp, so he followed him out.

"Li Kui has other arrangements to stay." Chai Lin called to stop Li Kui.

Li Kui came back again and asked, "Brother, what is the arrangement for Tieniu?"

"There were more than a thousand captive bandits and pirates in the iron mine. At that time, I promised them that I would release them after three months of working, but most of them were homeless and unwilling to leave. They stayed in the iron mine. Mines work for money, but this group of people is not easy to manage and they often fight and cause trouble. You go there, select the strongest 300 people, and build a new battalion of light infantry under your command." Chailin said.

Li Kui was overjoyed and said, "Okay. Brother, give me some veterans and equipment, so I can make up these thorns."

Chai Lin said: "Tieniu has made rapid progress, and he knows that veterans are needed to train recruits. I will transfer you ten veterans from the personal barracks. For the time being, you can use wooden sticks for the equipment. When you have rectified the discipline, I will send you the Equipment and armor military pay, otherwise nothing."

"Okay, brother, let's take a look at it, make sure you practice well." Li Kui took the order and left.

Wu Song was a little worried, and said: "Brother, Brother Tieniu is not experienced enough, I am afraid it will not be easy to practice well."

Chai Lin said: "It's a pity to kill this group of prisoners, but management is very troublesome. Tieniu has a reckless and fierce personality. He just came to use fierceness to control the evil and improve discipline. This group of people can be regarded as good soldiers. If you abide by the military law, you have no choice but to behead it."

All the generals nodded in agreement, kindness does not command soldiers, and those who lead soldiers must not only be ruthless to the enemy, but also ruthless to themselves. Soldiers who do not obey military orders are naturally not allowed to stay.

Inside the barbed wire fence where the captives worked in the iron mine, there were Li Kui, bison, and ten heavily armed soldiers.Bison had just recovered and hadn't arranged any tasks yet, so Li Kui came here to fool him.

Li Kui was wearing cowhide armor, with a pair of big axes pinned to his waist, and his eyes were staring.

Looking at the thousands of captives in front of him, the origin of this group of people is quite complicated. There are mountain bandits and pirates.

"Today I tell you a very good news. I, Tieniu, was ordered to recruit soldiers. 300 people from your group were selected as infantry. The remaining 700 people, those who want to go home, go home, and those who want to continue working will be reorganized as miners. , I won’t shut you up anymore.” Li Kui said.

"Okay, okay, great." The prisoners shouted loudly. Although they hadn't been abused during this period, they only had to eat and work, and they weren't allowed to go out. It wasn't an easy day.

"Being a soldier eats food, and eats food to be a soldier. The monthly military salary is 20 yuan, food and drink, fish and meat, and rewards for military exploits. If you die in battle, you will receive 35 taels of silver as a pension, and you will be buried in the cemetery for worship." Incense. Those aged over [-] and under [-] who want to serve in the army and are not afraid of death will stay for selection, while the others will go to the mines in the south,” Li Kui said.

"Okay." This group of people are basically homeless people. During this period of time, they worked in the mines, and the mountain camps that guarded them were very greedy.The captives ate sorghum porridge, pancakes, pickles, and green vegetable leaves every day.But in the mountain camp, there must be meat or fish and shrimp once a day, and occasionally fruit to eat. The yellow fruit that has never been seen before, not only the flesh can be eaten, but the skin can also be soaked in water.300 people who did not meet the age requirements went to the south mine, and the remaining 700 people were selected.

Line up in seven teams and lift the stone locks one by one.The emaciated, weak, and chicken thieves were all removed, leaving only 500 people.

"Then run for ten miles, along the small road. There is a red line set at the ten-mile mark. The first 300 people to arrive will be selected, and the rest will come back to work." Li Kui said.

Li Kui rode a black panther to the finish line first and waited. The soldiers had prepared [-] chopsticks, and whoever went there first would give one until they ran out.

When Li Kui started to train his troops, his formation and military posture were just superficial. He couldn't stand well, and he couldn't walk well.However, individual combat training is very strong. When fighting, I often get injured in training. Individual combat effectiveness is strong, but there is one thing, discipline is slightly weaker.

A few days later, two news came from Dinghai Port Wharf.

First, Meng Kang led a dozen craftsmen to Hailong Island and began to set up the second shipbuilding workshop.The second news is that the two 60-meter Dafu boats bought at a high price from Dengzhou have been rebuilt. Although the speed is not as fast as that of the centipede boat, they can run more than 80 miles in one hour with only a steam engine. It doesn't take much effort to run more than 100 miles.

After reading the news, Chai Lin was very happy, smiling from ear to ear.

Xie Bao asked, "Brother, what makes you smile so happily."

　Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
