Chapter 252 Everyone has a gun and everyone is equal

Lan Fang.

East Borneo, east of Ji Feng County, Lan Dong Prefecture, Lan Fang Province, Daming Dynasty.

The last territories of several sultanates in Borneo are also the most advanced battlefield of the Lanfang Governor-General in the Ming Dynasty.

Because the forest is too dense, it is difficult to completely eliminate the local indigenous people, no matter how ferocious the Japanese samurai legions under the command of the Emperor of Heaven are.

"Zhixian Chen, is our intelligence accurate? Why do I feel something is not right?"

At the edge of the forest, behind a mound, a slightly stiff Chinese voice sounded. The accent was a bit strange, but he could hear it clearly.

"Lao Tian, ​​don't worry. The intelligence provided above shows that a group of remnants of the Bandel Sultanate are trying to raid Jifeng County today. We can just stay here and lie down!"

The speaker was a young man with dark skin, short stature, wearing a black gauze on his head, wearing a short jacket, carrying a musket, and wearing canvas trousers with a pair of cowhide boots.

If Emperor Zhu were here, he would definitely recognize him as Chen Zhongliang and Chen Xiucai, who were responsible for decapitating people to Lanfang in Panyu County.

Chen Xiucai, who was elegant and graceful at the time, now looks similar to Tian Shanyue, the captain of the squadron of the Japanese Armed Forces Corps stationed in Jifeng County, who is shorter, darker, and skinnier next to him.

It seems that the water and soil of Borneo can transform people.

Tian Shanyue was also holding a musket, lying behind the mound, with a leaf hammer and several grenades hanging on his waist, and a rattan woven with old vines on his back.

Chen Xiucai had long suspected that Tian Shanyue was a "fake warrior".

Otherwise, why would a good Japanese samurai use a hammer and shield instead of a katana?

No matter how poor a ronin is, he should at least have a samurai sword with him.

However, Chen Xiucai did not meddle in exposing Tian Shanyue - even the surname "Tian" may have been chosen by Tian Shanyue himself.

Because Chen Xiucai heard that in Japan, only the upper-class Chinese have surnames, and ordinary people do not have surnames.

But in fact, among the more than 40,000 Japanese warriors under Emperor Zhu's command, some were simply fake samurai - farmers who could not survive in Japan. After hearing that the Ming Emperor recruited samurai as

After joining the army, he came to apply for the draft.

Fortunately, when the Ming Emperor recruited warriors, they did not test their swordsmanship, but only their physical condition.

That's why "fake samurai" like Tian Shanyue can successfully join the army.

But after becoming a member of the Japanese Armed Forces of the Great Tomorrow.

If Tian Shanyue returns to Japan, no one will dare to say that he is not a samurai - he is a samurai loyal to the emperor of tomorrow. If you dare to humiliate the samurai of the emperor of tomorrow, don't you dare to challenge the majesty of the emperor?

Therefore, becoming the soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Emperor of Heaven has actually become a rare channel for advancement for those lower-class Japanese people who have no hope of success.

In addition, the degree of acceptance or fanaticism of the warrior class towards the "Yellow and White Race Competition Theory" promoted by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of the Confucian scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty!

Coupled with the opportunities brought by foreign expeditions, it also has a fatal attraction for those samurai who can kill with one sword.

Now the great emperor has become the collective idol of the samurai class, lower class businessmen, and peasant class in Japan.

Warriors dreamed of fighting and making achievements.

Some of the lower class elites who did not have the status of warriors saw the hope of advancement in the warrior corps of the Emperor of Heaven.

The Tokugawa shogunate was also very cooperative with the Ming court. After all, for the Tokugawa shogunate, the biggest threat to the shogunate's rule was the hundreds of thousands of samurai!

Everyone from top to bottom can benefit from the recruitment of the Emperor of Heaven.

If Emperor Zhu is willing, he can even expand the size of the Japanese Armed Forces at any time.

At this time, the fake samurai Tanaka Yue suddenly raised his head.

"Attention all!!"

He suddenly ordered loudly.

There was a squadron of Japanese warriors under his command, that is, two hundred people.

Under the command of Chen Zhongliang, the magistrate of Jifeng County, there were one hundred guardsmen recruited from Jifeng County.

Now lying behind this small hill are three hundred musketeers equipped only with muskets, and they have no heavy firepower - this is because artillery is really inconvenient to transport in the dense forest, and Chen Zhongliang and Tian Shanyue actually have them on hand.

There were a few bottles of small-caliber mortars, but all the shells were consumed in the battles in the previous two days.

So now everyone can only rely on the muskets in their hands to fight.

In terms of equipment, some people had Guangfu 2-year-old rifles, while others had muskets.

Since the large-scale production of the Guangfu 2-year-old rifle developed by the Lantau Ordnance Factory, this firearm uses a large amount of cheap materials such as steel and wood, has rifling, and uses paper-cased fixed-expansion bullets (mini bullets).

The low cost brought by industrialized production began to completely replace the muskets in the Ming army.

However, rifled guns are now restricted weapons for export, so anyone who wants to purchase a rifled gun must go through "real-name registration" and apply for a gun license.

The advantages of rifled guns in range, accuracy, and even shooting speed naturally prevented the Ming court from allowing the "large-scale proliferation" of such weapons.

So now the people can buy the Guangfu 2nd Year Type Rifle.

But the price is very expensive.

Among the 300 people in the team, there were almost 200 people equipped with rifles of the Second Year of Liberation.

Only some fussy Japanese samurai still carried the old muskets issued by the Ming Dynasty. The more generous Japanese samurai had to pay for their own rifled muskets.

In fact, these three hundred people are not poor people.

Everyone has at least thirty or forty acres of paddy fields.

Once the land here in Borneo is developed, it is extremely suitable for growing rice. Moreover, the river network here is dense, and the climate is warm, humid and rainy all year round.

Three crops of rice can be grown in a year.

Just buying rice these years has made these Japanese samurai and the guardsmen who migrated from Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Fujian into rich men.

Of course, some people look down on the three melons and two dates of farming.

Instead, they were interested in the reward from the Ming court - if they could successfully ambush the local indigenous troops who attempted to plunder Jifeng County and complete the combat mission assigned by the staff of the Governor's Mansion, they would be able to gain a small collective merit.

Each soldier was given at least a dozen Ming Yuan.

This is the way to make money.

"Coming!" Chen Zhongliang also pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the forest, holding a musket and staring at the forest ahead.

Who would have imagined that Chen Xiucai, the genius in Panyu County back then, was actually a scholar with no ability to bind a chicken.

Now it looks like an veteran.

And if the Mainland is really in the Mainland, who dares to imagine.

Master Grandpa, Zhixian County, will actually be this dress, and the official uniform is not worn. Wearing military uniforms similar to the soldiers of ordinary guards. If it is not the black yarn on the head, no one will think that the young people in front of them will be orchids.

Master Zhixian, Jifeng County, Dongfu.

To say it, Chen Zhongliang also regrets it.

Why did I get this difference?

This is good.

After sending a group of people to Lan Fang, Governor Lan Fang Ye Daqi couldn't leave.

However, it is not just Chen Zhongliang alone.

Most officials from the Mainland were "borrowed" by the Governor of Lan Fang.

The reason is also simple.

Lan Fang had few people.

However, with the war in Jiangxi, a large number of refugees have caused hundreds of thousands of people to pour in, Lan Fang lacks officials who can work here, so Governor Lan Fang issued a lot of applications for borrowing.

All the talents from Lan Fang's foreign talents were deducted.

Chen Zhongliang stayed in Lanfang very unlucky.

Now it is even sent to the county official of Jifeng County, which is sent to the front line.

In the Mainland.

The master of the master of Zhixian is very large.

After all, the Daming Dynasty is a semi -semi -built -up, semi -funded principal empire.

Although it is said that the court has abolished kneeling now, and the master of Zhixian did not have the power to hit the buttocks casually.

But for thousands of years, the parents of the parents are the thoughts and traditions of the heavenly herders, can it be changed in just a few years?

Therefore, the master of Dangzhi County in the Mainland, although it is not as refreshing as the Qianqing, too many rules, too much management, and the pressure of performance (tax collection).

But at least the common people are still difficult to speak to the master of Zhixian County, and they dare not care about being able to speak.

But it is different in Lanfang.

Here is the people everywhere!
