Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 305 Haven't seen it before, this is called a flintlock gun
"Master Lu, please, this is Lord Wang Jiayao, the lord of Guihua City. If you want to see the treasury of Guihua City, you need to obtain the approval of the city lord."

Gu Zi led Lu Xianglin to the City Lord's Mansion of Guihua City, and said to Wang Jiayao who was processing the documents: "City Lord Wang, this is the younger brother of Lu Xiangsheng, Governor of Xuanda, Lu Xianglin, Master Lu."

Wang Jiayao was taken aback, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu."

Lu Xianglin was polite, and at this time Gu Zi said: "The county lord has an order. Please ask the city lord to approve a pass. I want to show Mr. Lu a tour of our treasury in Guihua City."

"Store?!"

Wang Jiayao frowned, the treasury in Guihua City is not so beautiful, you must know that the treasury in Guihua City is an important secret of this city, not everyone who comes can take a double look.

At this moment, Wang Jiayao looked at Gu Zi calmly, and Gu Zi took out a jade pendant from his bosom, which was given to Gu Zi by Li Chaosheng when he assigned the task, and it was regarded as a token, indicating that this matter was approved by Li Chaosheng.

Looking at the jade pendant that Gu Zi handed over, Wang Jiayao frowned a little, then looked at Gu Zi to confirm again: "The county lord knows about this?"

Gu Zi replied: "It was approved by the county lord."

Hearing this, Wang Jiayao picked up the approval letter on the table and wrote an approval letter, saying: "Take it."

Gu Zi nodded, followed by holding the approval document and heading towards the storage place. When he arrived at the storage place, Gu Zi took Lu Xianglin to see the grain inventory in Lantian and some ordnance. Lu Xianglin's face became serious. The grain stockpiled here It was really as Li Chaosheng said, enough for everyone in Guihua City to feed for a year. Lu Xianglin carefully looked at the 28 large granaries in Guihua City, and finally confirmed that Li Chaosheng was not lying, and was even a little conservative.

These granaries are semi-underground structures, a large part of which are placed underground, so that they do not occupy the space of the city, and the granary buildings are all near the center of the city, so there is no fear of the enemy digging in and burning the grain.

If the enemy can find the grain depot by digging the soil outside the city, they might as well just come out, enter the city lord's mansion, and kill the officials.

Lu Xianglin looked at the grain reserves in Guihua City, and he had confidence in the guarding ability of Guihua City. With the backing of the strong city and sufficient food, it was too difficult for the enemy to break in, and the Tartars were not good at attacking the city. It is even more difficult to take down this city.

Looking at the grain depot, Lu Xianglin had a deeper understanding of Li Chaosheng. This is definitely a man with far-reaching plans. How can he tell?

Don't look at anything else, just look at the granaries in Guihua City. Lu Xianglin is [-]% sure that Li Chaosheng's plan for Guihua City is definitely not a day or two. It did it, at this moment Lu Xianglin's evaluation of Li Chaosheng is that the old Yin ratio of the grass snake gray line.

The Tartars who built Guihua City must have been fooled by this old bastard, otherwise such a strong city would not be lost, let alone the 28 warehouses of grain.

"Lord Lu, have you seen enough?"

Gu Zi asked Lu Xianglin, Lu Xianglin nodded and said, "Enough seeing, now go and see your army."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng looked at Lu Xianglin and said, "Should we look at the regular army or the militia."

Lu Xianglin was taken aback and said, "Do you have two kinds of soldiers here?"

Gu Zi said: "Yes, the regular army is the Lantian regiment training, and the militia is a military force formed by the people of Lantian spontaneously to arm themselves and defend themselves."

After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said: "Then let's look at the militia first."

After hearing this, Gu Zi thought for a while and said, "Today happens to be the militia training day, let's go, I'll take you to the third school ground."

As Gu Zi said, he took Lu Xianglin to the third school yard. On the way, Lu Xianglin saw farmers leaving the city with hoes and said, "They?"

Gu Zi said: "There are 17 Han Chinese in Guihua City. They are all self-sufficient. There is farmland outside the city. They should go to take care of the farmland."

Lu Xianglin said: "Self-sufficient, you don't need Lantian to provide you with food?"

Guzi said: "No need, it's thousands of miles away from Lantian. If we transport grain to Guihua City, it will consume a lot of money. Even if Lantian is rich, we can't afford it. So we opened up wasteland on the frontier, planted wheat, and planted rice." Corn, it turns out that this land is unexpectedly fertile, especially the wheat. The wheat grown in this place is exceptionally good. Now the wheat in Guihua City is being transported back to Guanzhong. One catty of wheat can exchange them for one catty of two taels of Guanzhong wheat. Woolen cloth."

Guzi introduced, of course, Guzi said that the place where a catty of wheat can be exchanged for a catty of two taels of Guanzhong wheat is Lantian, and the food in other places is not good. Who would want to eat more delicious wheat?That is to say, the people in Lantian are living better now, and dare to buy some more delicious food with a little spare money. "

As Gu Zi said, the two of them have come to the third school ground. The third school ground is an open space. It is usually a square where common people can do activities and children can also play here, but there are three days a week. Time must be poured out for militia training.

"Attention, rest, today's training program, spear assassination, all stand at attention."

At this time, as soon as I approached the square, I saw a group of soldiers standing straight. In terms of military posture, all the military camps in Lantian, including the militia, are very good. Military posture is the basis for training troops in Lantian. It does not mean that standing in a military posture can increase the combat effectiveness of the troops. , but to say that practicing from the military posture can increase the obedience and collectiveness of soldiers, which is of great benefit to future training.

"prick!"

"kill!"

With a shout, all the soldiers stabbed their spears in front of them. The Lantian militia's assassination project only has one move, which is stabbing. There are no extra moves, and it is useless. Life and death in a battle can be decided in an instant, so you are not allowed to do it Making too many fancy moves, usually a simple one-stroke assassination is enough to decide the outcome.

Militia fighters have not yet popularized muskets, so their training is still based on cold weapons and long guns. At this time, there was a shout on the playground, and the next moment the instructor continued to shout: "Drop cloth, stab again!"

"kill!"

A killing cry made Lu Xianglin's heart tremble. Such a majestic soldier is comparable to the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army. At this time, the soldiers in the third school yard, although they were wearing farm uniforms, looked horizontally, vertically, or sideways. They were all in a straight line, and when they were assassinated at the same time, everyone worked hard.

At this moment, the killing spirit of Junwu was vividly displayed. In addition, the food in Lantian was always good, and the soldiers became stronger when they were full, and they looked fierce and abnormal.

Lu Xianglin watched the training of these soldiers, and the entire school field was densely packed. There should be three to four thousand people here. Lu Xianglin said: "Is this the militia you are talking about? Your second battle order in Lantian?"

Gu Zi nodded and said, "Yes."

"They are so majestic, even those who are so murderous can't enter the main battle force?"

Lu Xianglin asked again, and Gu Zi smiled and said, "They are still far behind."

After hearing this, Lu Xianglin looked at the army in front of him and murmured: "It's far behind, don't be kidding, these soldiers are worse than the bloody smell on their bodies, they are almost comparable to the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army. You said that the soldiers here are yours. The second-line troops, how strong is your first-line army, stronger than the Tianxiong Army? ?

Lu Xianglin didn't believe it, the Tianxiong Army was the hard work of him and his elder brother Lu Xiangsheng. For this army, he knew how much effort he and his elder brother Lu Xiangsheng had put in. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army was weaker than that of the Tartars, just a little bit worse Bar.

Lu Xianglin is very conceited in this regard, but looking at the militiamen in front of him, Lu Xianglin is a little unconfident again. Is this really their second-line army?

Lu Xianglin looked at Gu Zi and said, "How many people do you have in Guihua City?"

Gu Zi said: "There should be less than 2 people. I am not in charge of this, and I don't know the exact number, but today these should be the Dongcheng Militia, with a total of 5000 members. There are also Xicheng, Nancheng, and Beicheng militias like this. Three."

Lu Xianglin's eyes widened after hearing this: "2 people!"

Gu Zi said, "That's right."

Lu Xianglin gasped, the total number of Tianxiong's army was only [-], which was more than half of the Tianxiong's army.

Lu Xianglin looked at Gu Zi and said, "How is this troop equipped?"

Gu Zi shook his head and said: "No, the militiamen use all the equipment retired from the regular army. Most of them use cold weapons, and a few use old firearms that have been retired. Among them, there are about [-] elites who are equipped with have armor, and the rest have no armor."

After hearing this, Lu Xianglin said, "They still have firearms?"

Gu Zi said: "Yes, but they are all old-fashioned bird guns, or three-eyed guns."

"Can you show me?"

Lu Xianglin asked, followed Gu Zi and said, "This is fine."

Gu Zi brought Lu Xianglin to the militia, and then told Zhang Tengfei. Zhang Tengfei agreed and called the militia to show Lu Xianglin the firearms on his body.

Zhang Tengfei said: "This is the firearm used by our militia. Don't laugh at it. It's all eliminated by the main force. There's nothing good about it."

And Lu Xianglin's eyes widened at this time, this bird gun, this three-eyed gun, the quality is better than that of the Tianxiong Army's equipment, so it is still the equipment that has been eliminated?
Then what do our Tianxiong Army use, is it broken?
"Here, is this bird gun eliminated by your main force?"

Lu Xianglin looked at the probably new blunderbuss in front of him in disbelief, and Zhang Tengfei said, "Yes."

"You all eliminate such good equipment, prodigal!"

Lu Xianglin caressed the bird gun and couldn't put it down. The quality of this bird gun is better than the one he is using now, especially the steel used for the barrel, which feels better in quality.

Zhang Tengfei saw that Lu Xianglin had never seen the world and said: "What is this gun? You have never seen the equipment of the main division. Hey, why am I telling you these things? If you like this gun, you take it away and give it to you."

Zhang Tengfei said angrily, Lu Xianglin was very moved after hearing this, but as an official of Ming Dynasty, he still needs to have his own little dignity. At this time, he must not lose face, and only one, if there are ten, Lu Xianglin will not Save face.

However, Zhang Tengfei had no intention of bribing Lu Xianglin, the third-rank commander, and naturally put the gun back. Lu Xianglin was still reluctant to part, but his expression was still indifferent.

Lu Xianglin left the No. [-] school ground, looked at Gu Zi and said, "Can I see your main force?"

Gu Zi said: "Okay, let's go to the No. [-] school yard."

Campus No. [-] is dedicated to Master Li Chaohu, and Campus No. [-] is dedicated to Teacher Shi Dalei. This Lu Xianglin has already greeted Li Chaohu, so I will take this to see Master Li Chaohu and save the trouble of explaining it. .

Gu Zi took Lu Xianglin to Nancheng, where Li Chaohu's division was stationed.

"Stop, military important place, no entry!"

Gu Zi and his party came to the door, when the guards stopped them, Gu Zi took out the jade pendant and said: "The county lord ordered the guests to visit the barracks."

The soldier looked at the jade pendant and saluted. He knew Gu Zi. As the captain of Li Chaosheng's bodyguard, Gu Zi was well-known, especially in the army, who knew more about Gu Zi.

But the army is important, it doesn't mean that I will open the back door for you if I know you, everything will be done according to the rules and regulations.

Gu Zi took Lu Xianglin into Li Chaohu's barracks, and Lu Xianglin found something different when he came in, it didn't look like a barracks at all, on the contrary, it looked like a place for decoration, it was too clean, everything was too clean.

It doesn't feel as messy and messy as Lu Xianglin imagined, and everything here is too clean. Looking at it, I'm thinking about the appearance of my barracks. My place is like a pig's nest.

Gu Zi brought Lu Xianglin to the school field at this time, and the school field was undergoing target shooting training at this time. Here, Lu Xianglin found that his world view was subverted. He saw a group of soldiers holding bird guns in their hands, facing the target in the distance, bird guns There is also a vertical pole (aiming) on ​​the front target and the trigger is pulled.

clap clap clap...

The targets tens of meters away were all hit.

"Next team, aim."

"shoot!"

clap clap clap...

There was another row of gunshots, and at this moment Lu Xianglin blinked and said, "They, the firecrackers in their hands?"

Gu Zi said, "What's wrong?"

"Why, why can you shoot without lighting the fire?"

Lu Xianglin stared at Guzi and asked, Guzi heard this and said: "Oh, this, this firecracker is called a self-fire by the county lord, and its scientific name is a flintlock gun. It is a musket that can shoot without ignition. It is very powerful, and it is precisely because our regular army is fully equipped with this weapon that we eliminated the original bird guns and three-eyed guns!"

"Flintlocks! There is such equipment. Has the main force of your Lantian Army been fully equipped with such weapons?"

Gu Zi nodded: "It's fully staffed."

Lu Xianglin swallowed and said, "How many such main forces do you have?"

Gu Zi said: "There are 2 people in Guihua City."

"Hiss~ 2 people!"

Lu Xianglin gasped. Such 2 people are definitely stronger than the 5000 Tianxiong Army. Is the strength of Lantian so terrible?It seems that my brother and I have underestimated Lan Tian, ​​they probably have the power to destroy the Tartars themselves!The greatest possibility for them to let themselves participate in the battle to eliminate the Tartars is to hope that their brother can prop up the title of defeating the Tartars, so that they can continue to hide under the ice and develop wretchedly. This scheming is so terrifying!
