Chapter 72: Military Situation
Zhang Luo divided the money in the money bag into two parts.
He handed part of it to Zhang Liansheng and said:
"This is for training soldiers at the garrison."
Then he handed another copy to Grandpa Zhang:
"These are for the ancestral hall."
The third master looked at Zhang Luo with a complicated expression.
Now, whether it is Grandpa Zhang or Zhang Liansheng, they are from hundreds of households.
Or the soldiers and civilians of Zhenhai Guard.
Everyone will adopt the ideas proposed by Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo has become one of the most important people in Zhenhai Guard.
Who would have thought that Zhang Luo would be sitting upright in the ancestral hall now.
I have only been in Zhenhaiwei for four months.
At this moment Zhang Luo suddenly said to Zhang Liansheng:
"Master Baihu, I plan to select fifteen people from the army."
"Training an army of cannons."
"Guns team?"
Bird guns are not a rare thing on the southeast coast.
Some Japanese pirates also use blunderbuss and blunderbuss-type firearms.
When the military guard station suppresses bandits, some firearms will also be removed.
But today's health centers.
There are very few people who have access to bows, arrows and firearms.
The reason is just one word: poverty.
According to the military system.
There are two hundred soldiers of Zhenhai Guard.
There should be a group of archers.
But because there is no money, the weapons and equipment cannot keep up.
Long-range soldiers had been canceled when Zhang Lian gave birth to his grandfather.
Archers in the feudal era.
It's considered a special unit.
It takes a long time to train.
Only then can a military unit be equipped with combat capabilities.
When training archers.
It takes more than just a bow.
Countless arrow feathers are also needed.
Things like arrows.
In ancient times, it was a military consumable.
Arrows in the feudal era were easily deformed.
You can practice just one arrow several times.
If you shoot too much, the arrow will lose its accuracy.
Such an exercise is meaningless.
On the battlefield, arrows are disposable items.
There is no situation where you shoot the arrow out and pick it back up again.
To train a qualified archer.
At least it will take more than half a year.
The military help provided by archers is also considerable.
Now the entire Zhenhai Guard can shoot arrows.
There is only one Zhang Liansheng from a hundred households.
The Zhenhai Guard infantry can hardly survive.
Forget about the archers.
Although the price of blunderbuss is a little cheaper than bows and arrows.
But fifteen musketeers have been practicing for many months.
The amount of ammunition alone is quite large.
It’s not like Zhang Liansheng never thought of forming a cannon unit.
In fact, there is no food left in the guardhouse.
It can't be raised at all.
Zhang Luo smiled and said:
"Grandpa Zhang, I want to practice such a firearm."
"To protect the newly reclaimed land in Weili."
"I will pay for the training of the soldiers myself."
"As long as there are people at the ancestral hall, it will be fine."
"After the folks practice the Yuanyang Formation every time."
"Add another hour to practice shooting."
"I also paid for the meals for that day's training."
Grandpa Zhang also knows that the southeast is currently in turmoil.
The surrounding villages are practicing Xiangyong.
Grandpa Zhang thought for a moment.
He quickly agreed:
"Okay, you can choose who you want, and the ancestral hall will be responsible for the food."
Just after confirming the formation of the gun team.
A soldier hurriedly ran into the ancestral hall.
He said to Zhang Liansheng:
"There is an urgent military situation among hundreds of households!"
I heard it was a military emergency.
Zhang Liansheng stood up immediately.
Received the military report from the soldier.
It was sent by the Chief Executive of Japan.
Zhang Liansheng hurriedly opened the outer seal.
After reading it quickly, he sighed heavily.
Grandpa Zhang also walked to the side and asked:
"Baihu, what's going on?"
Zhang Liansheng said:
"The Luo Yao people from neighboring Jiangxi Province gathered in crowds to rebel."
"The Chief of the Japanese Army gave it to the garrison to strengthen defense."
"Suppress the Japanese pirates at sea with all our strength."
Zhang Luo took a few steps forward.
Take the military intelligence report from Zhang Liansheng.
Zhang Liansheng glanced at Zhang Luo.
He didn't rebuke him out loud.
After reading the content.
Zhang Luo said puzzledly:
"There is a turmoil in Linzhou. Why did the General Secretary send troops to Quanzhou to report?"
"We also need to strengthen maritime defense and suppress bandits."
"I saw that the Luo Yao people were causing trouble inland, weren't they?"
Zhang Liansheng said:
"The Fujian-Guangzhou rebellion a few years ago."
"Colluded with Japanese pirates."
"There have been every civil unrest in the southeast in the past few years."
"Japanese pirates will take advantage of the situation to rob."
Zhang Luo asked again:
"Baihu, do you know the background of this Luo Yaoren?"
Zhang Liansheng said:
"He was mentioned in the military report of the Japanese General Administration last year."
"This Luo Yaoren surrendered and rebelled again."
"It wasn't until this year that it calmed down a little bit."
Zhang Luo sighed.
Civil rebellion was a common occurrence in the feudal dynasty.
Zhang Liansheng said to Zhang Luo again:
"The Luo Yao calls himself Milo Buddha."
"There are nearly 10,000 believers in Jiangxi Province."
It turns out that this Luo Yaoren also founded a cult.
Zhang Luo understood now.
Why do you call him Luo Yaoren?
In the official documents of the imperial court, they were called demons.
It often refers to those people who rebel with cults.
The imperial court's suppression of religion has always been severe.
Even today's emperor is keen on practicing Taoism.
To these messy sects.
He also tried his best to suppress it.
Emperor Jiajing himself was already the Taoist Lord.
What are you doing with other schools of thought?
Luo Yaoren is a generational cult leader in Jiangxi.
The scale of this rebellion is certainly not small.
In addition, there were also imperial censors and provincial Qing troops.
Zhang Baihu is always calm.
I'm also a little unsure.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang.
A thunderbolt flashed.
A heavy downpour fell from the sky.
Zhang Luo walked to the window.
Watching the rain hitting the eaves.
A thunderstorm descended on Zhenhaiwei.
"It's raining."
Zhang Luo looked at the rain and said to himself.
In the days to come.
Zhang Luo seizes the time to gain experience.
Not reading in school.
I just went to the school grounds to talk to Zhang Liansheng about the art of war.
Sometimes I go to the fields again.
Give lessons to the Death Row Gang and Zhu Xiaoer.
The craftsmanship skill is close to level ten.
Zhang Luo focused almost all his attention on his work.
Zhang Luo discovered what he was doing.
The fastest carpentry job is making chopsticks.
The fastest masonry job is to make stone cups.
Although I don’t have much experience in doing one of these two.
But thanks to doing it quickly.
You can also gain five experience points for the Artisan skill in one day.
The little fools Zhang Wangsheng and Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't figure it out.
Why does Zhang Luo always make these things that cannot be sold for money?
I just thought it was Zhang Luo's hobby.
The day came when I agreed with Pifa San to send the cannon.
Zhang Luo after finishing making a pair of chopsticks.
System sounds popped up.
[Complete the work task, the Craftsman LV is increased to 10, the experience is 0/100, and it can be advanced]
"Proceed to advance."
Zhang Luo couldn't wait to see what advanced options there were for the Craftsmanship skill.
Two boxes popped up.
Showed in front of Zhang Luo.
[Decompressed Craftsman: The physical strength consumed when engaged in craftsmanship is reduced by 10%]
[Enhanced Craftsmanship: When making advanced things, Craftsmanship skills are temporarily increased by one level]
Look at these two advanced branches.
Zhang Luo didn't have to hesitate at all to choose.
The Craftsmanship skill has reached level 10.
Zhang Luo has been given the ability to make waterwheels and wooden wheels.
These are relatively advanced techniques.
If you choose the Enhanced Craftsman, you can temporarily increase your level by one level.
This temporary extra level of knowledge.
It is also a considerable amount of wealth.
"Choose the Augmented Craftsman!"
