Chapter 361 The Supervisory Council secretly trains musket soldiers

The two soldiers in front of him were a reinforced battalion brought back by Shi Xiu. The number was close to 600, and they were in the special outfit of grenadiers, which was familiar to Sun Xin.

The other is a strange armed force with thousands of people.

This armed force is equipped with smoothbore guns, and the formation is very similar to that of the protective army, except that the colors of the clothes are different.

If you look closely, Sun Xin will also find that one of the characteristics of this army is that its personnel are particularly tall, and it seems that it is a team of hot weapons selected by using the thinking of cold weapons.

Official Zeng, who was standing aside, said to Sun Xin: "This is Zhuang Ding from Zengtou City, who is here specifically to help the court encircle and fight Liangshan."

Sun Xin turned around and saw Zeng Suo looking at the team with a proud look.

Sun Xin instantly guessed that this must be Zeng Suo's idea. This guy was not convinced by him and actually wanted to make his reputation by helping the court.

Zeng Suo was so excited that after organizing the team, he went to the city. He also took a military post with a small flag on his own. The Zhuang Ding team brought him was also responsible for his own food and salary. At that time, he would only pursue military merits. Hu Yanzhuo was almost certain.

Will accept it.

President Zeng watched his third son pull the army into the city and asked Sun Xin in a low voice with some concern: "Do you see if the imperial court can successfully encircle Liangshan this time?"

Sun Xin honestly replied to Mr. Zeng: "Liangshan is powerful. I have seen the strength of the imperial court's soldiers these days. It is unlikely that it will be possible to rely on these 20,000 people to conquer Liangshan."

Upon hearing this, General Zeng's brows frowned even tighter.

Sun Xin also sighed in his heart. Zeng Suo was able to imitate his own protective army to train such a soldier and horse. He must have received a lot of resources from Zengtou City, although he did not dig up his officers.

Come to train, but there are protective troops in Zengtou City.

Zeng Suo found some sergeants from the bottom to do some basic military training.

Like three points, this team is equipped with smoothbore guns, and judging from their organizational appearance, they can build the most basic firearm war. Maybe the combat effectiveness can be close to the earliest agricultural soldiers... probably can surpass Liangshan

Army and official army.

But even so, these thousand people were committed to the battlefield where tens of thousands of people strangled, and there was almost no possibility of reversing the situation.

Through Wu Song's channel, the Supervisory Council knew that Liangshan had also carried out some firearm reforms and organized musketeers. It is said that they used very inferior imitation versions of smoothbore guns.

The outflow of the smoothbore gun is inevitable, and Sun Xin had long guessed this. At this time, he could only be glad that he was equipped with the Minni rifle fast enough, and he could still maintain the technical difference with Liangshan.

It is reported that there are not many musket equipment in Liangshan, and the bandits in Liangshan are not familiar with fighting with firearms, but Sun Xin had a premonition that this battle would definitely not be easy to fight.

What's more, modern military forces are a system, and they cannot be organized enough combat effectiveness by just a few foreign gun teams.

Zeng Suo only trained a thousand musketeers. Without the cooperation of cavalry and artillery, or even insufficient industrial ability to produce barbed wire on a large scale, the limitations of musketeers on the battlefield alone were very great.

As for the fact that he wanted to rely on the official army to cover his flanks after going to the battlefield, it was almost certainly impossible to rely on the style of the imperial guards and the elite wing soldiers from other places that Sun Xin saw in Qingzhou City these days.

The greater probability is that the government army will want to spend human lives to make cannon fodder for the government army to advance.

"You know, it's hard for the government troops to get along with." Sun Xin honestly said to Mr. Zeng.

Mr. Zeng had a little embarrassed. His third son had always wanted to resist Sun Xin. He was in a neutral position.

He could feel that Sun Xin's vision and strength were far above them, and that the family business he had finally created might be controlled by this son-in-law. Of course, Zeng Daguan was unwilling to accept it, but he did not dare to make trouble with Sun Xin.

If the relationship is broken, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to the relationship between a father-in-law and son-in-law with Sun Xin.

At the same time, he also silently supported Zeng Suo's behavior. He watched Zeng Suo, who was extremely dissatisfied that day, gradually tapped talents from the supervision committee of Zengtou City, and used the shopkeeper who had served as a protective army to train this.

In the team, Mr. Zeng was also very proud of his capable son.

This time, Zeng Suo was determined to take advantage of the opportunity of the war to make Zengtou City famous. On the one hand, Zeng Daguan was worried about the safety of his third son, but on the other hand, he also felt that it was unbearable and valuable that his third son could have such ambition.

Sun Xin did not look too angry, but directly said that the plan was not feasible. Official Zeng hesitated for a while and asked, "Is there really no chance?"

Sun Xin did not answer directly and said to Mr. Zeng: "If I do it, the first step should be to suppress bandits around Zengtou City, unite all the surrounding villages before slowly planning them. You can't be too hasty..."

When Mr. Zeng heard Sun Xin say this, he was surprised at first, and then he remained silent.

Sun Xin was really unexpected that Zeng Suo had such ambition and could build such an imitation protection army without his hands.

However, if we exchange our status with Zeng Suo, Sun Xin's first step would definitely not be to attack Liangshan directly, but to suppress bandits around Zengtou City, relying on a series of victories against the bandits to establish himself around Zengtou City.

The reputation of the company can then control greater productivity step by step through supervision.

Military is based on economic foundation. If Zeng Suo had a chance to let Zengtou City break away from the control of the Supervisory Council.

However, Zeng Suo chose to go to the battle against Liangshan with great success. The possibility of failure was too great.

Listening to Sun Xin's suggestion, Zeng Suo thought for a long time and looked into the distance. Zeng Suo was riding a horse from Qingzhou City. He saw his father's desire to speak but stopped talking, and simply stopped talking, whipped the horse and turned around.

Leaving again.

Official Zeng sighed.

"You third brother is too stubborn. I really advised him not to come, just hope you don't care."

Sun Xin shook his head: "It's okay."

He had no good feelings for Zeng Suo. He wanted to die and he could persuade him, but if the other party didn't accept him, he wouldn't stop him.

As for whether Zengtou City can grasp the constraints of the Supervisory Council, to be honest, the Supervisory Council has no expansion plan for Lingzhou, where Zengtou City is located.

The Supervisory Council is step by step in managing Dengzhou for the camp. Next, after the Battle of Liangshan, the power will expand to Yunzhou and Jeju, and slowly grasp the three eastern prefectures. As for Lingzhou, where Zengtou City is located, it will take several steps.

It's a matter of this.

Moreover, Lingzhou already has a place like Zengtou City. A nail from the Supervision Commission has been knocked in. In the future, it will be much easier to swallow it up than other prefectures and counties.

The expansion of the Supervisory Council has encountered quite a lot of resistance in various places. Zeng Suo is considered stubborn, but not too big an opposition. If you want to rebel in the future, I don’t know how many Zeng Suo will be there in Shandong.

If you take all these people seriously, Sun Xin will not do anything.
