After Zhu Pingan left Master Zhang, he visited the other craftsmen and all the apprentices one by one, asking questions and chatting about home affairs. He missed nothing, making everyone feel valued. Although they were not moved to tears by gratitude, they were all moved.
Light, my sense of belonging to the Zhejiang Army skyrocketed, and my body and mind also stabilized.
Without him, the status of blacksmiths in this era is too low. In the feudal era with strict hierarchy, it is hard to imagine that a fourth-grade official would greet them and chat with them. This kind of thing is only relatively common in modern society.
common.
Among these craftsmen, there was also a craftsman named Liu Jin who also came from the military field. Later, he also participated in making artillery. However, he was not a professional firearms craftsman. He only participated in the casting of cannon bodies a few times, and he was still a cold weapon.
Craftsmen are good at making armors and forging swords and other cold weapons.
However, in this age of cold weapons, Zhu Ping'an was content with getting two outstanding firearms craftsmen at once.
"I plant a seed, and sooner or later it will bear fruit, and after a while it will be a great day."
Zhu Pingan walked to the school grounds humming a little song.
After all, Zhu Ping'an came from a liberal arts background, and he only knew a few general directions about firearms, but knew nothing about how to do it specifically. However, he believed that with these directions, he could ensure that Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and the others could embark on the right path, and also be on the right path.
It can save a lot of time, energy, and costs. Just like the saying "Success is 99% sweat plus 1% inspiration. In many cases, this 1% inspiration is more important than 99% sweat." The direction you give them is inspiration.
inspiration in.
I am looking forward to the day when Ou Zhige, Zhang Hong and the others surprise me. I believe this day won't be too long.
Zhu Ping'an hummed a little song all the way to the school grounds. When he arrived at the school grounds, he found that the selection of corps commanders had come to an end. Only the last seven corps commanders were still in fierce competition, and the other corps commanders had already been announced.
Zhu Pingan asked Liu Mu for the newly released list of corps commanders, and was surprised to find that most of them were recruits from Yiwu.
To be precise, in addition to the 55 corps commanders who were directly appointed as corps commanders based on superior discipline performance assessment, the remaining 65 corps commanders, there are currently seven corps commanders competing, and they have already competed for the succession.
Among the fifty-eight corps commanders who came, Yiwu recruits actually won 35 corps commander places in one fell swoop, while veterans only won 23 places.
As the competition for the last seven team captains ended, the final quota was determined.
Yiwu people are indeed a natural-born military force. Their experience in fighting on the front line for many years, coupled with their talent, has allowed them to shine in these corps commander competitions. Yiwu recruits have won a total of thirty-eight corps commanders.
In the end, the veterans only obtained twenty-seven corps commander quotas.
In fact, veterans are not easy to save fuel. They were bandits and bandits, and they licked blood from their swords. After joining the Zhejiang Army, they took a few months off work to train exclusively, and even competed with Japanese pirates once. In fact, they are not weak anymore.
However, the new recruits from Yiwu are too fierce.
"Dadao, you have recruited an incredible group of new soldiers this time."
Ruofeng and other battalion commanders witnessed the fierceness of the Yiwu recruits during the competition for corps commander, and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

They originally thought that in this competition for corps commanders, the veterans must have taken advantage and could probably take away most of the corps commander positions. However, they never expected that the Yiwu recruits looked honest and honest, but their physical fitness and agility were a mess. , he was able to fight each other, was able to resist each other, and was so powerful that he actually snatched most of the corps commander positions from the veterans.
These new recruits are really fierce.
However, both the new and old soldiers are their soldiers. They are the commander-in-chief and battalion commander. The more powerful the soldiers under their command, the better.
"Haha, of course, you haven't seen the scene of Yiwu people fighting with weapons at that time. It was really a response to a hundred people. They went forward one after another without fear of life and death. My father fought to death, and my brother stepped on me. My brother fought to death. My younger brother stepped on it, and the man fought to death. , women, go ahead and wait until we fight the Japanese pirates in the future. You will admire me even more when you lead us to recruit Yiwu soldiers. In addition, when you lead us to recruit soldiers, you specially selected those who are honest, obedient, hard-working, and you will know this when you practice. What a group of soldiers."
Liu Dadao said with a proud look on his face.
"Dadao, you have done a good job! The soldiers you have recruited this time are incredible. I am really speechless. Your Excellency said that our Zhejiang Army still has thousands of vacancies. Next time our Zhejiang Army recruits troops, we should go to Yiwu. "
Ruofeng and others were full of praise for the new recruits. Thinking that there were still vacancies in the Zhejiang Army, they would have to go to Yiwu to recruit more soldiers.
"Of course we are going to Yiwu. Let me tell you, we are going to recruit soldiers this time because the number of recruits is limited. We select the best among the best and then select the best among the best. There are still many strong and honest young men who have failed to be selected because there are no quotas. Not to mention that there are I feel so distressed. If the recruitment is liberalized, at least 12,300 strong and honest young men who meet the requirements can be recruited. This is just one county in Yiwu County. In addition to Yiwu County, the people in Yongkang next door are not bad either. The people in Yiwu are mainly After fighting with the Yongkang people for so many years, the Yiwu people did not take much advantage. It can be seen that the quality of the Yongkang people is not much different from that of the Yiwu people. These two places can provide at least 30,000 excellent soldiers."
Liu Dadao said swornly.
"I really look forward to the further expansion of our Zhejiang Army." Xia Laoqi and others couldn't help but think about it when they heard that Xiao Sanwan had excellent soldiers.
"Haha, if you want to expand the army, you'd better train the new soldiers as soon as possible, and then fight with the Japanese pirates with real swords and guns a few times, and make achievements that are convincing enough. Raising an army requires money, especially for us The Zhejiang army is treated so well, so it needs more money. Our army expansion this time is because we performed well at Yingtian City last time, expelled the Japanese pirates, and wiped them all out at night. The higher-ups were satisfied, so we have this time Expand the army.”
Ruofeng rolled up his sleeves, looked very excited, glanced at the new recruits in the field, and said to Xia Laoqi and others.
"With the wise leadership of our Lord, our battalion commanders are all ruthless characters who lick blood with their swords. The veterans under us have all seen blood, the recruits are so fierce, and the armor is so complete. The most important thing is,
The Japanese pirates outside are getting more and more violent and causing more trouble. Are you afraid that there will be no chance to make meritorious deeds?!"
Xia Laoqi and others looked at the new recruits in the field and said with confidence.
"Hmph, don't think of war as simple. Last time we fought against Japanese pirates, our Zhejiang Army produced a lot of weaklings. If not for your careful planning, the outcome would have been hard to predict." Ruofeng snorted and said.
"Don't worry, those weaklings have been cleared by us. Although we didn't name them in public, we dealt with them privately. They have also changed their ways. These days of training have completely transformed them.
In future wars, with the law of joint sitting, if they dare to be coward again, they will not be spared!"
When Xia Laoqi and others heard this, they couldn't help but blush slightly. Most of those weaklings appeared in several of their camps.
"Yes, that's right." Ruofeng nodded. With the Lianzu Law, he was not afraid that they would not fight bravely to kill the enemy.
