I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven

"Yes, yes. As a special combat unit entrusted with important tasks by the leader, how can we not have strict requirements?"

"Does Li Yu feel that he can't do it?"

"No way, no way"

"Hmm~? Who said I can't do it? I will complete the task!"

Li Yu thrust out his chest and punched his left chest with his right fist.

This is the military salute designed by the dynasty after comprehensive consideration.

If it was the Ming Dynasty, it would probably be two kneelings and one bow.

In the section "Defining Military Salutes" in Qi Jiguang's "Records of Military Training", it is stipulated that the lower-level soldiers in the military camp must "kneel twice and bow once" when meeting the commander;

If they are not direct subordinates, they should "kneel once and bow twice";

When the superior issues a military order, the subordinate must kneel to receive it;

If you meet the superior on the road, it is convenient to do things and you don't have to kneel;

If you meet the commander of your own camp on horseback, you need to dismount and stand;

If you are not the commander of your own camp, you only need to give way and wait for him to pass immediately;

Etiquette must be followed, and violators will be dealt with by military law.

Nowadays, Wang Chao is not only Li Yu's direct superior, but also the commander of the Wang Chao army.

If it is described in "Records of Military Training", it will require two kneelings and one bow.

But Wang Chao felt that this was inconvenient after all, and he was not used to it, so he changed it a little.

Originally, Wang Chao thought about modern military salutes.

However, he felt that it was strange to perform a modern military salute while wearing a helmet and armor, so he designed it to be a right fist on the chest, which was convenient and regular.

Looking at Li Yu who saluted solemnly, Wang Chao smiled with satisfaction and praised loudly.

"Good! I knew that Li Yu would not let me down.

Then I will wait for the training results of Li Yu."

"Yes! I promise to complete the task!"

Li Yu saluted again and promised, and then returned to the training ground with Wang Dahu and others to select the right candidates.

Wang Chao returned to the meeting room and began to think about the next plan.

Now, there is no shortage of money.

But there is a shortage of food. It is not a problem to hold on for ten days and half a month.

But after that, there will be a shortage.

Wang Chao can't wait until the end to consider it.

He should consider now where to borrow food from the foot of the mountain.

Dawangzhuang? Majiaji? Shilipu? Balipo?

With so many, he was having difficulty making choices.

On July 30, the weather was still sunny and hot. Chen Ying, a rank 600-man centurion in Weiyuan County, had led his soldiers to recruit more than 500 people and began a more "strict" training.

Although Chen Ying had more than 600 people under his command, far more than the number of people a centurion should be in charge of.

However, both the county magistrate Li Wenshu and the county magistrate Wuchang, who was in charge of money and grain, turned a blind eye.

In any case, Chen Ying was also a centurion in the imperial guards, and the others were just unnamed civilians.

He was still qualified to lead them.

And after the bandits were wiped out, they would be disbanded again, not a regular soldier.

After a period of "enhanced" training, everyone now looked a bit better, and Chen Ying's originally thin figure had become a little stronger.

Well, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the guards of the Ming Dynasty who were not in the Nine Frontier Guards were almost the same as the servants and tenants of those generals.

However, this is not the case for all generals.

At least, Chen Ying, a small sixth-rank trial centurion, really has no big benefits to gain.

Although he should be in charge of a group of more than 200 people.

But in fact, even if the old and weak are included, there are only more than 100 people in the centurion under his jurisdiction.

If only the middle-aged military households are counted, there are only more than 30 people, and they are all pale and thin.

From this, we can imagine the situation of his centurion.

Therefore, Chen Ying, a sixth-rank trial centurion, is only slightly better than the life of ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, when he heard that they were asked to go into the mountains to suppress bandits, he agreed without much hesitation.

First, he could take this opportunity to ask for military pay.

Second, perhaps he could use the merits of suppressing bandits to remove the word "trial" from his trial centurion and become a formal centurion.

As for whether he could defeat and eliminate the bandits, Chen Ying really didn't worry much.

After all, in his opinion, how much fighting power can a group of hungry people who have just settled down have?

In addition, they are timid when facing the officers and soldiers. I am afraid that the moment the two armies meet, those so-called bandits will be defeated in one blow.

As for Wu Ping before, as a centurion in the army, he doesn't think much of him.

In his opinion, he is just a playboy who relies on his brother to get in through the back door. What ability does he have to lead troops in battle?

He has learned a general situation from the escaped civilians.

He was extremely disdainful of Wu Ping camping at the foot of the enemy's mountain.

What's more, according to the meaning of the county magistrate, he only asked them to guard at the foot of the mountain and wait until the bandits came down the mountain to rob before attacking.

As for them, if they stay here, the bandits will flow to other counties.

What does that have to do with them?

Maybe then, the county magistrate will be able to claim that he has successfully suppressed the bandits and that the bandits have fled.

On August 2, the people sent by the dynasty to find the blacksmith finally returned to the mountains.

However, things were somewhat beyond his expectations.

Originally, the dynasty just wanted to have people build weapons.

After all, the Dynasty also knew that with their current situation, basically no one would be willing to join them.

Therefore, he just wanted to have people build or buy some weapons.

It may be a bit taken for granted, but it should be feasible.

However, the people who came down the mountain directly invited all eight members of the blacksmith's family up the mountain.

Well, it’s a family.

The old blacksmith's surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Yan. He was famous for his exquisite craftsmanship and was famous in villages all over the country.

Of course, he is fifty-six years old this year and rarely takes action.

Zhou Yan has a wife named Liu and has two sons.

The eldest son Zhou Tie, 38 years old this year, inherited Zhou Yan's craftsmanship and is now the head of the blacksmith shop.

The second son Zhou Wen, who is 30 years old this year, did not inherit Zhou Yan's craftsmanship, but relied on connections to embark on the path of studying for the imperial examination.

In the early Ming Dynasty, it was basically impossible for craftsmen's families like Zhou Yan and others to participate in the imperial examination.

However, with the passage of time, now, although the household registration still exists, as long as you spend money, you can always open the door.

It's a pity that Zhou Wen's road to the imperial examination was not smooth, and he is still just a boy now.

In addition, there are Zhou Yan’s two daughters-in-law.

And an eleven-year-old grandson Zhou Jie, the son of Zhou Tie; and a granddaughter Zhou Nuanying, the daughter of Zhou Wen, who is ten years old this year.

The whole family was neatly carried up the mountain without leaving any trace.

Of course, they must not be very willing.

However, facing the threat of more than a dozen big men, they could only give in.

Looking at the trembling and frightened family of eight, Wang Chao couldn't help but be speechless.

Good guy, I asked you to find someone to make weapons, but you directly found me the manufacturer.

However, since the people have been brought, the dynasty naturally has no reason to put them down the mountain again.

In fact, the group of people who came down the mountain originally wanted to make weapons.

Originally, Zhou Tie had already agreed.

However, the old blacksmith Zhou Yan heard the number of weapons made.

You need as much as you want, no matter how much money you have.

Without saying a word, he turned down the business without hesitation.

Who would want so many weapons?

In addition to the army, even the county government does not need that much.

And the army's weapons don't need him as a private blacksmith.

Without much thought, Zhou Yan knew the identities of everyone. They were either bandits or rebels.

Regardless of the identity, if the government knows it, they will provide the weapons.

Then their whole family, young and old, would go to the Caishikou for a visit.

In this case, he would naturally not help build weapons no matter what.

In the end, the dozen or so people who came down the mountain were so angry that they kidnapped all eight members of their family up the mountain.

Looking at the dozen or so people on the side who were all smiling and eager to praise me, Wang Chao waved his hand helplessly.

“You guys did a great job.

Go down and each of you go to the warehouse to collect two taels of silver."

What else can be done?

His subordinates were so capable, so he could only reward them.

A dozen people couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this. This was two months' military pay, and they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Thank you, chief!"

After a group of people went down, Wang Chao turned his attention to the old blacksmith and his family.

"uncle."

As soon as Wang Chao finished speaking, Zhou Yan shook his head and bowed.

"No, no, no, I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Looking at the frightened Zhou Yan family, Chao Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"After all, I am an elder and can afford it.

Well, that’s it! "

Seeing Zhou Yan who was about to kneel down, Wang Chao looked solemn and made a final decision.

"."

Looking at the serious-looking Wang Chao, Zhou Yan stood there at a loss, not knowing what to say.

"Well~, since you guys have already gone up the mountain, don't go back. I will arrange a job for you in the mountain.

I will never treat you badly. "

"This this"

Zhou Yan was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only stand there.

"Well, doesn't the imperial court have an arms bureau? Then we will set up a weapons manufacturing bureau."

Hearing this, Zhou Yan's family froze.

Listen, listen, this is a corresponding institution set up after the imperial court. Isn't this a rebellion?

They have really fallen into a den of rebels, and their future is really worrying.

Involuntarily, Zhou Yan's family was secretly complaining.

Zhou Yan even had thoughts in his mind.

To escape, you must find an opportunity to escape.

Otherwise, when the imperial army encircles and suppresses them, all eight members of their family will be buried in this Bird and Mouse Mountain.

It’s on the shelves, thank you all for your support! .:*
