Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 163

When Huang Xiong came to the headquarters office, besides Li Yunxing, there were three other people, one of whom he recognized was an officer of the battalion, "Shou Zhang Wei", and another "Shou Zhang Ma", who also often appeared on the training ground, seemed to be a big shot.

The person he didn't recognize was Ran Yao.Li Yunxing made a phone call to the security team in the headquarters office.The knowledge of this yellow bear is obviously not what ordinary people have, and he is probably an officer of the Ming army.He had to make sure it wasn't a spy.

Finally, there is Dongmen Chuiyu, who came to watch the excitement. He doesn’t have much to do now, and the order in Dongmen City is also on the right track. He often goes to Ma Qianju’s place to fool around. It's a joke, I got a nominal staff officer.

"Sit down." Ran Yao said seemingly casually.

"Thank you, Chief." "Thank you, Chief, for giving me the seat!" Huang Xiong stood at attention again - he seemed to like this very much.

Everyone saw that his gestures were different from ordinary recruits.

"Have you ever been an officer?" Ran Yao asked directly.

"Yes! The villain used to be the general manager of Jizhou Town." He looked calm.

Still a Ming army officer.This was a bit beyond Li Yunxing's expectation.This recruitment brought many local fugitive military households.But the generals in Jizhou Town and the military households in the Weisuo in Hainan are completely different things. The former are real soldiers, while the latter are just serfs of military landlords.The difference is simply too great.

"Since you are an officer of the imperial court, why did you come all the way to Qiongzhou?"

Huang Xiong hesitated for a moment: "Because of the quarrel with Shangfeng, the villain accidentally killed him."

Still a murderer.No wonder he absconded so far.

"Why was there a conflict?"

"It's not for some money and food." Huang Xiong smiled wryly, "The imperial court has been in arrears, and the soldiers are almost starved to death. The money and food allocated by the higher authorities are not for us. I will ask for it, and I will get up." conflict."

The reason is straightforward.But Ran Yao knew that if they were spies, the reasons for coming here would naturally be fabricated. They were in Hainan, and they were unable to go to Jizhou to investigate the truth of the matter.

"Why did you vote for us as a soldier?"

Huang Xiong said: "The chiefs are from overseas and have nothing to do with the Ming government, so they naturally want to vote here."

There is nothing wrong with this statement.Several people looked at each other, and Ma Qianju suddenly asked:

"How do you think our regiments are training?"

"Adults—the methods of military training of the chiefs, I have never heard of it, and I dare not comment on it." Huang Xiong said respectfully, "However, within ten months, the foolish people in the countryside have been trained to know how to advance and retreat, and understand how to advance and retreat. The formation technique is already extremely clever. It is more than enough to deal with country bandits."

Ma Qianzhu nodded, asked some random questions, and then told him to go.

"Do you want to keep him?" Ran Yao asked in a low voice.

To be on the safe side, this person is not only unusable, but it's better to just click away - he has received a full set of military training for traversers, and if he is really a spy, he will leak a lot of details to the government after he escapes.

Wei Aiwen said: "I suggest keeping it. There will be more and more people like this in the future, and everything has a beginning. I don't believe this, I don't believe that, who else can we use?"

"What if it's a spy?" Li Yunxing hesitated.

"If he was a spy, he wouldn't have exposed his identity so easily." Ran Yao said, "I personally think he's telling the truth."

"What you said is not materialistic." Dongmen Chuiyu criticized.

"What is materialism? You really have to be vigilant. We have so many workers and people now, can you say that all of them are reliable?"

"Xiao Wei is right, we can't always shrink in our own small circle." Ma Qianzhu made up his mind, and said to Ran Yao: "Indicate 'control use' on his file, and find two soldiers to cross monitor he."

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

"Hey, hey," Wei Aiwen called out, "You planted spies in the teaching camp, why didn't I know?"

"This is managed vertically by the executive committee. Just look at our report." Ran Yao knocked on the table, and there was a document on this week's soldiers' movements on it, "Xiao Wei, your sense of secrecy It's not good, this thing has a secret level, so you just throw it on the table?"

"Soldiers can't come in here, and we are responsible for even standing guard, so we can't lose them. Besides, the doors are all locked." Wei Aiwen said carelessly, "President Ma, how about going to see our shooting training?"

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Up to now, the new army has conducted a total of 100 shots, including 40 rounds of live ammunition and 60 shots without projectiles. This number has exceeded the number of shots fired by recruits of the British army who paid the most attention to shooting in the 19th century. Starting a family can be regarded as not hesitating.

When a group of people walked to the second company, they found that the soldiers of the second company were gathering together.A long, black and strong soldier is holding a rifle and aiming at a stone in the distance.A crowd of people surrounded him.

There was a sound of "pong".The stone was blown away.It seems they practiced well.This soldier Wei Aiwen recognized, it was Yang Zeng, the top shooter discovered by Li Yunxing.

Just when Wei Aiwen wanted to go over and say something to Yang, Dongmen Chuiyu rushed over in front of him.

He said to the soldier who shot, "You did a good job."

The soldier chuckled.

"Now, call me again." Dongmen Chuiyu said unhurriedly.

The soldier fired again.On target.

Dongmen nodded and stood beside the soldier.Then he drew a Gerrind from his belt, loaded the blank, and said, "Again."

Soldiers began to clean the barrel, and it was here that the East Gate fired a shot into the sky.The soldier's hands shook, and some gunpowder was scattered outside.

The only staff officer in this staff department began to urge: "Hurry up."

The fire medicine finally went in.During the cleanup, Dongmen fired two more shots.

Soldiers began to reload.

"Quick. Faster."

The gun in Dongmen's hand rang again.The soldier's bullet fell to the ground.

"What are you doing. Reload. Quickly reload!" Dongmen shouted in the soldier's ear.

The soldier hurriedly took out another bullet from the ammunition bag.

The gun went off again.What followed was his urging: "Quick! Move faster!"

The soldier shivered and loaded the bullet into the barrel.

Another shot.You can see that the hands of the soldiers are shaking when they put on the flash caps.

"Shoot, shoot!" he continued.

Soldiers finally finished the process of reloading.

"Quick. Aim. Shoot!" he ordered over the sound of pistols.

The soldier's gun went off.

The stone in front did not respond.The bullet missed.

Dongmen Chuiyu put away his pistol and said, "Continue to practice."

Everyone shook their heads. The gun was very accurate, but he was not a soldier.

After leaving the crowd, Wei Aiwen caught up with him and said angrily:

"Dongmen Chuiyu, don't you think you are going too far?"

"Where is the excess?"

"That Yang Zeng, since he joined the hunting platoon, he has worked hard to practice shooting. Do you know how much work he has put in? He is now the most accurate soldier in the whole battalion."

"That has nothing to do with me. Captain Wei, please remember. What we need are soldiers, not shooters." He glanced at Li Yunxing as he spoke, "Wars are not in a quiet shooting gallery."

Before Wei Aiwen could reply, he walked away.

Wei Aiwen and Li Yunxing began to hate this guy who was not nearsighted but wore glasses.

What made Wei Aiwen even more distressed was that half of his magnificent artillery, including the cannon and gunner, was given to the navy!Only nine 9-pound mountain howitzers and a few 12-pound light cannons were left for them. The 6-pound cannon and 8mm breech-loading guns were all given to the navy.This result also made Zhang Bolin, the self-appointed artillery director, turn his nose in anger - he had spent a lot of effort on artillery.And Li Haiping's use of despicable material seduction methods such as being able to open up to eat fish in the navy to lure away the best gunners made him even more angry.

"President Ma, don't bring such a thing!" Zhang Bolin said aggressively, "Our army is the main force in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. You gave all the cannons to the navy. How can you fight this battle?"

"Yes, yes, and there are four infantry companies in the teaching battalion. Why should the navy divide one company into a 'sea force'? The executive committee and the navy are recognized by us, the army, the navy, and the ocean. But This is so bullying!"

Ma Qianju stood up and said, "You all know you want a cannon! The 8-pound cannon is for you. Do you have a horse?"

"There are—"

"You are still the director of artillery. Do you know how many horses are needed for the 8-pound gun?"

Zhang Bolin was dumb. He really didn't know how many horses it took to pull his beloved weapon.

"At least 6! They must be medium-sized horses." Ma Qianju knocked on the table, "How many horses are there in Wu Nanhai's farm?"

"It's okay to use a donkey—" Zhang Bolin continued his weak resistance.

"You can only pull a 12-pound mountain grenade with a donkey. A mountain howitzer with a cannon and an ammunition cart, you have to have 30 donkeys alone. Wu Nanhai's family is not enough to give you enough! If you are not in charge, you don't know how expensive it is!"

Zhang Bolin completely turned off the fire, and Wei Aiwen was still obsessed with the issue of the naval company.

"The navy company is the future navy sailors. The training camp was originally just training. Now that the month is over, the navy wants them to go on board for training."

The two of them had a meal at Ma Qianju's place and said that they came out in despair.

"The navy really bullies people!" Wei Aiwen was still furious.

"They bought the senior officials of the Executive Committee by relying on the Fengcheng Hotel. It's too corrupt!"

"Let's talk to Battalion Commander Xi."

"Fatty Xi?" Zhang Bolin simply called out disrespectfully, "He and Ma Qianzhu are wearing the same pair of pants."

"Where are the others? Bai Yu, it should be said that they—"

"I don't think it's reliable. Those old soldiers have been 'listening to the party' all their lives, but now they've become 'listening to the executive committee'."

"If this goes on, our army will suffer." Wei Aiwen was heartbroken about the future of the army.

"Hmph, I think we should organize a group to protect the rights and interests of our army—is this also for the sake of all the people who are traveling through! Letting them mess around is not good for the cause of crossing—the navy is useful now, and the anti-siege is not up to us The executive committee is putting the cart before the horse. I heard that many officers in the battalion are dissatisfied with the decision of the executive committee—”

"Keep your voice down, tell me, what should I do?"
