ps: Watch the exclusive story behind "Han'er Not a Slave", listen to your more suggestions for the novel, follow the Qidian Chinese website official account (add friends on WeChat - add official account - enter qdread), and tell me quietly! The musket of the Han army flag can definitely kill people, and Zhou Shixiang doesn't know anything anymore. After Qin Zhisheng took the gun and shot it, he also knew that the musket was powerful. If this thing is closer, it is not as simple as punching the face into pockmarks or scalding in later rumors, but it will really kill people.

Although Zhou Shixiang was a soldier in his previous life, he did not know much about it. However, since the Shenji Camp of the Ming Dynasty was able to traverse the north of the desert with its muskets, and for more than two hundred years, muskets have always been the formal equipment of the Ming army and have never been eliminated. In this case, there is no reason to say that the muskets of the times are fire sticks. If this is the case, it is afraid that the muskets would have been eliminated two hundred years ago. What a heroic figure in Ming Chengzu back then, how could the soldiers be equipped with weapons that cannot be killed? It should be noted that this person had fought all his life and was still on the road to war until his death. Such a person had a vision that was not comparable to later generations.

The reason why the Ming army is afraid of guns is the problem of civil and nobles and low-cost and silver. The former suppressed the political rights of military generals, leaving the army without any say in the court. Military generals were controlled by civil officials, but civil officials were mostly unaware of military affairs, so naturally they would not pay attention to the production and renewal of military weapons. The latter directly cut off the roots of military production. Just like the Weishu system, the generational craftsman model also made craftsmen who were good at making military weapons worse than the previous generation, and the things they made were naturally worse than the previous generation. No matter how good the things were, they would not be able to make them well without enough money. History has proved that the Ming army muskets in the late Ming Dynasty were completely a product of cutting corners and shoddy production.

One is good and one is bad, one is heavy and one is light, the final result is the most direct reflection of the war in the past few decades. In the Guangdong province, it is directly reflected in the strength of the Han army flag. Li Dingguo's two attacks on Guangdong suffered a lot of losses from the Han army flag. On that day, in Xinhui City, Zhou Shixiang could hear the roar of muskets on the top of the city day and night.

The musket cannot be useless, on the contrary. This is a powerful weapon. Even without Qin Zhisheng's demonstration, more than a hundred soldiers who suffered gun casualties in Taiping Camp also told Zhou Shixiang with bloody facts that the musket was useful.

.........

The gun and his experience in serving in the army in his previous life made Zhou Shi very fond of the muskets seized. He repeatedly looked at the muskets of the Han army flag and then put them down. He ordered Qin Zhisheng to concentrate all the captured muskets to keep, and all the gunpowder bags on the flag soldiers must be picked up and must not be leaked.

The structure of the musket is too complicated, and firing the musket is also a science. Although Qin Zhisheng, Jiang He and others repeatedly emphasized that the muskets are useless, Zhou Shixiang still decided to establish the firearms and weapons of the Taiping Camp, and in the future, they must improve these muskets that still rely on fuse ignition.

The best way to improve muskets is to learn from the Europeans who were already slightly ahead of the manufacturing of big open firearms in this era. The closest white stronghold to the Ming Dynasty is not far from Xiangshan County - Macau, a later gambling city, now gathers many missionaries and scientific and technological talents from Europe, and is also a city of arms. The Ming Dynasty was able to purchase a large number of cannons and muskets from Macau, and Zhou Shixiang could do it, as long as he had enough silver. In the face of real money and silver, those white-skinned pigs who came to the East to make a fortune and take risks have no reason not to sell them.

After the fire gun matter was arranged, Zhou Shixiang ordered the entire battalion to enter the city to rest. Since the purpose of the Han army in the Inlaid Blue Banner to Gaoyao was not to target the Taiping Camp, and there were no other flag soldiers near Gaoyao. Then he no longer had to tighten his nerves. After several days of running around, the entire battalion reached its limit. People were not attacked by iron, and if they did not rest, they would be defeated without fighting.

According to the previous assignment, Tieyi and Song Erniu each led people to take over the counties and warehouses. With the fearful "help" of the officials of the county corps, the money and grain were quickly counted, with 3,200 taels of silver and more than 14,000 copper pieces, and 100 pieces of cloth and silk. In addition, the magistrate Qin Ming, who had already committed suicide, personally "sponsored" 700 taels of silver and 30 taels of gold for Taipingying Camp. His wife and two concubines also "sponsored" gold and silver hand jewelry worth nearly 1,000 taels of gold and silver.

The harvest of grain is not small. Last year, Gaoyao did not suffer any disaster, which was considered a good weather, so the autumn grain was harvested more. Apart from the ones transported to the Fucheng and handed over to the provincial capital, the county government resold them privately, there are more than 300 stones left in the warehouse. Guangdong is located in the south, and the people have a variety of rice, so the grain is mainly rice. When the white rice was moved out of the warehouse, most of the soldiers in Taipingying breathed a sigh of relief. With this rice, they don’t have to worry about their wives and children who stayed in the back camp being hungry.

In Taipingying without faith support, the safety of relatives is the greatest motivation to support everyone. The Han people value family affection the most, especially male men. Their biggest concern is not their own safety, but their wives, children, and their parents. As long as their wives and children can have a bite, they will work hard regardless of everything.

So far, Taiping Camp has been composed of a group of men who care about whether their relatives are hungry, whether they are full, whether they have clothes and whether they have to sleep in the ground. Their purpose of their desperate efforts is not to be the national righteousness and the defense of the Chinese and foreigners, but to be simple family affection. It is true that such an army is not a good team in strict terms because he is too concerned about too much, but at present, this army can make Zhou Shixiang move towards his goal step by step. He needs these men to fight to the death, or he is using these men to fight to the death. In Zhou Shixiang's view, national justice and whether their wives and children can eat to the fullest are equal. There is no conflict between the two. Whether it is to achieve the former or the latter, the purpose of anti-Qing will be achieved.

Since its inception, Shao Jiugong's team has basically undertaken the maintenance of military discipline after entering the city. No matter how reluctant the officers from the Jiangxi Green Camp were, they consciously assumed the task of maintaining military discipline and realized the importance of military discipline. The bandit-style expansion method of Taiping Camp did not affect Zhou Shixiang's emphasis on the importance of military discipline every time he went to.

The method of fighting in a bandit style. The method of fighting in a bandit style and strengthening the military discipline seems to be a conflict, but it is not a conflict. The method of making the two exist at the same time is very simple, that is, whether to fight.

The residents of Gaoyao City were not on Zhou Shixiang's list of enemies, because it was too close to Zhaoqing Prefecture City, and the purpose of the front camp to enter Zhaoqing was to confuse, disturb and restrain the Zhaoqing Green Camp, so that the Zhaoqing Green Camp could not pose a threat to the rear camp that was moving towards Xinhui. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang must maintain the combat effectiveness and mobility of the front camp. In this way, the front camp was not the purpose of fighting the front camp, and he would not be stupid enough to do this.
