Chapter 119 The Victory Army is Different
After a sound sleep all night, the physical strength of the soldiers of the Shengjie Army basically recovered.

After a comfortable breakfast, the soldiers were refreshed and full of vigor on their faces.

The joy of victory drove them to a more elite and adept path, and also prompted them to begin a glorious tradition of victory.

Completely different from those female real soldiers and officials.

Now that the rest is almost over, while Su Yonglin arranged for the work of cleaning the river to continue, he arranged for the army to return in an orderly manner, and brought all the prisoners of war back in batches, continued to do ideological work, and mobilized them to join the Shengjie Army.

Su Yonglin planned to eat at least 1% of the more than [-] strong men, and if he really didn't want to, he would not force him to pay the travel expenses and allow him to go home, showing his benevolence and righteousness.

Even if such an army does not join, they will firmly remember that there was such an army that did not rob or kill good civilians.

Such an army is unique in this era, and Su Yonglin can guarantee this.

At the moment when the Yue family army has ceased to exist, there is no military existence that can surpass his army in terms of getting along with the people.

Because the military regulations of this era are very different.

Su Dingguang has collected a lot of military books, so Su Yonglin read a lot of military books in the Southern Song Dynasty, but he found that none of the military books mentioned the content that the army should protect the people.

The only thing that is relevant is the slogan of the Yue Family Army that no longer exists.

In fact, almost all ancient armies, even with strict military discipline and prohibitions, would have large-scale looting, killing and other acts of kindness in wartime and non-wartime.

What's even more tragic is that the plundering behavior of the dynasty's army is mostly regarded as a potential benefit of the dynasty's army, and the dynasty does not actually prevent such behavior.

Because the so-called strict military discipline in ancient times, its standard is obedience to superiors and laws, and does not include affinity for ordinary people.

Few dynasties and generals demanded that their armies be friendly to the people.

Throughout Chinese history, greedy and brutal troops with strict military discipline are not uncommon.

Brutal animal nature and strict military discipline are like two sides of a coin, and it is normal for them to exist in an ancient army at the same time.

Whether in the chaotic times of changing dynasties, or in times of peace that will never stop bandit suppression and local wars, the public will become the natural prey of the participating armies.

Whether domestic or foreign.

The local resources and the wealth of the local people have become the focus of competition between the two armies. In this case, the victor naturally has the right to enjoy the fruits of his victory.

Not to mention that under the strict system of layers of oppression, for the superior, it is also a way of governing the army to properly let the grassroots soldiers vent their dissatisfaction.

Of course, you can't donate what you have, so you have to let the people near the battlefield "contribute" it.

The commander-in-chief of the army will not restrain the army, and the administrative bureaucrats certainly do not have the courage to do so.

Therefore, no matter whether the war is won or lost, for the civilians on the battlefield, the armies of both sides are beasts that eat people, regardless of the country of the two armies, and the civilians never have the consciousness of their own people or "child soldiers".

For Yue Fei, who realized the power of the people for the first time, he added in the military regulations and discipline that no plundering of local people was allowed. Perhaps there was a reason for his death at this level.

The Shengjie Army has added relevant content to the military regulations and disciplines since its founding.

The so-called strict military discipline of the Shengjie Army and the so-called strict military discipline of the other armies of this era are not the same thing.

Because of this, Su Yonglin is confident that he can make those prisoners of war join him willingly, instead of being forced to join him.

The military affairs were properly arranged, and Su Yonglin decided to stay here to continue to stabilize the order, do the finishing touches, and be the queen of the entire army.

Of course, even at this time, there is no rest, there is still a lot of work to do.

Su Yonglin's rules.

After each battle, regardless of victory or defeat, as long as everyone is not dead, as long as they can fight again, they should hold a meeting to discuss the gains and losses of this battle, and record them as the victorious army along the way. witness.

If it can really become a major event in the future, this record must be kept intact and passed on, so that future generations will know how difficult it is for Shengjie Army to create a new world along the way.

Now is the time for the meeting.

The income of the war has almost been counted before, so the next step is to reflect on what is not in place in this war and needs to be improved.

The lack of cavalry, lack of training, etc., are already commonplace, and everyone knows things, and these things cannot be solved in a short time, and they must be invested for a long time, so it is emphasized again and again.

And some things seem a little special.

"Soldiers have raised a lot of objections to flying muskets. They think that flying muskets are not such a useful weapon. Sometimes they are quite annoying. Therefore, many soldiers do not like to use flying muskets. "

Lin Jingchun submitted his suggestions and opinions about the soldiers' flying muskets.

Su Yonglin attaches great importance to this.

"Tell me."

"It's mainly a matter of gunpowder."

Lin Jingchun rubbed his temples and sighed: "Many soldiers have responded. When using a flying gun, it is not difficult to ignite, but whether it can emit enough flame after igniting depends on luck. Smoke, not fire.

Sometimes it ignites and bursts into flames, but just like that, it starts to emit smoke, and there is no fire, and sometimes the eruption is not strong enough, which is far from the one in the hands of comrades-in-arms.

And after the musket erupted, there was a lot of smoke, and there was smoke in front of the army formation, which greatly interfered with the sight of the soldiers, and the smell was still very pungent. Alang, I think what they said was reasonable. The two battles were not a big problem due to the terrain, but change the place. Again, it may not be so simple. "

Su Yonglin nodded.

These are indeed the problems of early gunpowder weapons. The pursuit of the powerful power of gunpowder will naturally be constrained by side effects. Only by continuous updating and improvement can we move forward, at least in the general direction.

"Have you got all the muskets in question?"

"It's all there."

"Take a look."

"Here."

Lin Jingchun quickly had people pull two carts of used muskets.

"This car did not spit fire after it was ignited. The amount of fire from this car was too small and the duration was too short."

Lin Jingchun wisely placed the two kinds of flying guns with different problems separately, which was praised by Su Yonglin.

Then everyone started to study where the problems with these two kinds of flying muskets were.

Su Yonglin picked up a flying gun that failed to breathe fire and looked at it, but saw no problem, then removed the powder cartridge, poured out the powder inside, and found the problem at a glance.

"It's naturally inflammable."

Su Yonglin looked at this pile of "gunpowder" with a stern expression.

Gunpowder is a mixture of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal in a certain proportion, and the so-called mixing is reflected in the current specific product, which is simply stirring, and after stirring, gunpowder is formed.

Such conventional gunpowder is unstable both physically and chemically.

After such gunpowder is loaded into the barrel, after the bumps on the transportation road, because the weights and densities of the ingredients are not the same, they will even separate by themselves, and the materials are separated.
The pile of gunpowder in front of Su Yonglin was just like that.

It seems that this pile of gunpowder has already produced a relatively serious separation, and even if it is mixed together, it will not be able to play the role of gunpowder.

Su Yonglin wondered if the gunpowder craftsmen had thought about how to solve this problem, but since this problem is still occurring now, it means that at least Jin Guo has not taken this problem seriously and tried to solve it.

In addition, Su Yonglin also found in other failed powder cartridges that the charge was too large to ignite, and the charge was too small to cause the eruption time to be too short.

In this way, the three major problems of flying muskets are powder separation, too much charge, and too little charge.

The problem is not simple.
