Regarding Wei Li's plan to practice fire blunderbuss, it caused quite a stir in Nanhai Wei.
Nowadays, there are two main sources of soldiers of Nanhai Guard. One is the former Jinyi Guards and their remnant children of the Jinyi Guards, and the other is Gao Jin's Qianhu, who are mostly civilians.
On the surface, the difference between the two is that one is a military household and the other is a civilian household, but when they both joined Nanhaiwei, this difference no longer exists. It is more about the origins, habits, and circles of the soldiers from these two sources.
, are all different, it can even be exaggerated to say that they can't mix together at all.
However, the soldiers from this source all have an inexplicable sense of superiority regarding their origins.
The children of the remnants of the military believe that serving as soldiers and providing food is their bounden duty from generation to generation, and they are naturally much better than the civilian children who know nothing. The civilian children, on the other hand, feel that as a civilian family, they
They came to serve as soldiers, but Wei Li did not say that they were forced to become military households. That means that even if they could not eat this bowl of rice, they still had a way out, and they were naturally much better than military households who only knew how to serve as soldiers.
Just this time, the guards issued an order to select people from each thousand households to practice firearms. For the children of military households, they would not object to practicing fighting as soldiers, but if they wanted to practice firearms or something like that,
Then thank you very much.
Practicing with swords, guns, swords and halberds may not necessarily lead to death. However, if you practice with firearms, you can't say that you may actually die.
Therefore, among the two thousand households of Xu Jian and Feng Wanli, there were very few people who took the initiative to sign up. In the end, the two thousand households had to give the orders directly, and then they selected from the reluctant soldiers.
Enough manpower is available.
However, there is no need to go into the Qianhu household. In terms of military skills and physical fitness, there is a certain gap between the civilian children and the military children. However, if they hold firearms, this gap can be immediately eliminated.
Ignore it, after all, no matter how good you are or how courageous you are, it will still be useless when facing an indestructible firearm.
Gao Jin, a thousand-year-old family, had so many applicants for the firearms team that in the end, in order to show fairness, Gao Jin had to draw lots from the applicants to decide who would join the firearms team.
Liu Xing is Gao Jin's old brother who has followed Gao Jin for many years. He was also the first person to join Tingyu Tower with Gao Jin. After Tingyu Tower was changed to Nanhaiwei, Gao Jin became his own Qianhu, and he also got his wish and became Gao Jin.
A hundred households under the eldest brother.
To be honest, he may not really value these hundreds of households. At least, he didn't have any expectations before joining Tingyulou with Brother Gao.
Anyway, his life was given to him by Brother Gao. He just followed what Brother Gao told him to do.
However, after he actually became an official, he realized that the feeling of being an official was really great.
Because he had committed a crime and left his hometown of Tianjin incognito, he did not dare to give news to his family for many years, and his family basically treated him as a non-existent person. However, when he returned to Tianjin wearing a military attache's attire, he suddenly
Suddenly, I saw the ecstatic smiling faces of my family, the woman I had not remarried for many years, and even the pride and arrogance on the face of my son who had just learned to walk when he left Tianjin and is now a half-grown man.
It seemed that he suddenly felt that he was on the right path.
The family still had some doubts about his identity, but when the people from Qingjun Road in Tianjin came to the door, he directly took out his identity card. The people from Qingjun Road didn't say anything, but they were arrogant and respectful, but
It also gave him enough dignity and respect.
As for the things he had committed in the past, let alone that. With the Holy Emperor’s personal amnesty decree that “the superiors and subordinates of the Nanhai Guards will not be held accountable for their past deeds,” the Qing Army just asked a few words and turned around.
His case was immediately dismissed.
At this moment, he, Liu Xing, was an upright military attache of the imperial court. He was no longer a criminal who was hiding in Tibet. It was not an exaggeration to describe him as "Guangzong Yaozu" at this moment.
There is indeed a future in being an official!
Especially following Brother Gao and Mr. Jiang, he felt that it was a promising thing. This was the conclusion he came to after returning to the capital from Tianjin. Although Mr. Jiang should be called the Commander now, being able to call him Jiang
Sir, doesn’t it prove that he is not an outsider?
Mr. Jiang is a scholar, so he naturally has his own opinions on the subject of wielding swords and guns. He said that he wants to practice firecrackers, so of course there is a reason for practicing firecrackers.
Liu Xing is a person who accepts death, so if he fights for this with his position of a hundred households, he will naturally gain the right to command the fire gun soldiers of this thousand households without any effort.
After everyone arrived, they went directly to Master Qianshi to report for duty. Master Qianhu said that the new Master Qianshi was responsible for the training of the Fire Gun Soldiers. When the training was completed, he
Then you can bring people back.
Several other thousands of households were probably in the same situation as his. Within three days, they were all gathered together and then taken to a separate barracks on one side. What was interesting was that he was actually in this barracks.
I saw some familiar figures. If nothing unexpected happened, these familiar figures were all the guards around Mr. Jiang, and they were all old people from Tingyulou.
This further strengthened his confidence. Sure enough, Mr. Jiang did not attach great importance to this firearms team. Even the guards around him were sent to learn and practice, which was enough to prove his attitude.
In addition, there are some Ban people. It is said that they are all firearms instructors hired by Mr. Jiang for spending a lot of money from outside. Liu Xing does not find this strange. Mr. Jiang used to often bring a Fan girl around.
As for running, he likes this tone, but having said that, it doesn’t matter what a foreign woman is. Regardless of her appearance, her body is always bulging in the places that should be bulging and concave in the places that should be concave. Finally, it makes sense. Mr. Jiang is very human and has strange preferences.
Not surprising at all.
However, these Banren instructors were a bit hard to look at. They were all hairy and crooked in appearance. If he hadn't seen them speaking politely, he wouldn't have wanted to talk to them.
However, there is one person who never dares to ignore the other person, no matter whether he is polite or not.
The person in charge of the Firearms Team is Mr. Xu, the new commander. Even though this guy looks like a woman, he speaks politely, but just because Mr. Jiang can talk to him with a smile, he doesn't dare to ignore him.
, even if some of the other party's methods of training soldiers seemed to him to be very nonsense, he still fulfilled his duties strictly and carried out Lord Qianshi's orders absolutely and thoroughly.
