Chapter 883
Ye Chunsheng was taken to the prison of the county government by an Jinyiwei, where the father and daughter met each other, and the father and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly. "This, Ling Ai is a maid from the Ye Mansion. All the people in the Ye Mansion are involved in the case. We have to investigate and make sure that they have not done bad things, they will naturally be let go. As soon as tomorrow, at least three days later, the investigation results will be released." An Jinyiwei, who served as a prison guard, told Ye Chunsheng.
The factory guards' case handling efficiency is still very high. The next day, Ye Chunsheng's daughter was released. Not only did she come out of prison, but she also gained her freedom. Her slave family was gone and she became a good citizen. In order to prevent her from thinking about it, the Jinyiwei also arranged a blind date for her. In the end, a veteran engineer from a refugee married her as his wife.
Although the feudal ethics of the Ming Dynasty were not as good as the Qing Dynasty, it was already very serious compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties. If we had not found a husband for Ye Chunsheng's daughter, this poor woman would definitely not be able to survive.
However, as a poor military man who is almost thirty years old and has no wife, it is already a blessing in his previous life to marry a beautiful wife. Ye Chunsheng's daughter is only fifteen years old. The older man loves the young wife and not only treats her as a wife, but also spoils her like a daughter. In fact, this ending is the best ending for Ye Chunsheng's daughter.
The so-called engineer soldiers of Li Guodong were actually auxiliary soldiers in other armies back then. In any army back then, the status of auxiliary soldiers was very low, only slightly higher than that of temporary recruitment of civilians and traitors.
However, among the Huai Army, the status of engineers is much higher than that of other armies. Li Guodong believes that every soldier is a brother, and he treats soldiers equally, so that soldiers can fight better. Moreover, in the near future, when flintlock rifles are popularized, some engineers will be transformed into line-array infantry, with bayonets on flintlock rifles and lined up to kill them. Soldiers can withstand more than 30% of casualties without collapsing.
As long as those flintlock gunmen are veterans who have been fighting for many years, they will be converted into straitors in the future.
Then, the scale of scattered soldiers will reach a scale of more than 10,000 people. Are there many scattered soldiers with a total of more than 10,000 people? In fact, not many. The current scattered soldiers are organized into the night and do not collect them at night. It is the most elite cavalry and infantry, but it is actually a special force, so the number will not be too large. In the future, scattered soldiers will also belong to the Dragoon organization, and the number of scattered soldiers can be very large.
When the flintlock rifle becomes popular, the spearmen and archers will be abandoned. The team is almost the same. They set up hollow square formations, play queues and kills and bayonets to charge. Only a small number of iron armored soldiers are left in the infantry, which are used to conquer cities and ground, and the rest are musketeers.
The armored soldiers also serve as grenades, carrying grenades. When approaching the enemy formation, they throw several rounds of grenades in succession. In fact, they replace the original javelin with grenades.
The original iron armored soldiers and sword players, under normal circumstances, each soldier carried two javelins. Those who could carry ten javelins were the most elite veterans. If they were replaced with grenades, each ordinary iron armored soldier could carry six grenades, and elite veterans could carry ten grenades. The power of grenades is naturally much greater than that of javelins.
Skies were organized into the dragon cavalry to enhance their mobility. Before queuing up and shooting, they used skies to approach the enemy, and took advantage of the long range and high accuracy of the rifled rifle to eliminate long-range troops such as gunners and archers. As for the opponent's musketeers, they were ignored because the accuracy of the smoothbore rifle is negligible. The infantry in the line-array can approach the enemy's projectiles, and then take a row of volleys, and then launch a bayonet charge.
The reform of the new army has not yet begun because it will cost a lot of money to build a flintlock rifle. To form a new army of 200,000 people, at least more than 100,000 flintlock rifles are needed. So many flintlock rifles naturally cannot be purchased from abroad with silver, but they must be built by themselves.
Making flintlock rifles by yourself is also a waste of money. The key to the quality of flintlock rifles is the spring steel sheets. Currently, only the expensive Su-steel can meet the requirements of flintlock rifles spring steel sheets, and even the steel factory in Foshan cannot meet this requirement.
The reason why Li Guodong wanted to pacify Guangdong was actually for steel.
Foshan's ironmaking technology was undoubtedly the highest and largest in the Ming Dynasty. Although they could not create high-quality steel like Sugang, it was huge. In addition to Foshan's steel industry, Guangdong has extremely large steel factories, Huizhou, Jieyang and other places.
On the basis of Guangdong steel smelting, it is not a problem to increase the level and mass production of high-quality spring steel plates.
Only by solving the problem of spring steel plates can one produce flintlock rifles in large quantities. It is estimated that 150,000 flintlock rifles and 20,000 rifled rifles are needed. Such an army is enough to sweep the world. This world not only refers to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, but also includes the distant Western Regions, which can be fought all the way until it encounters European civilization.
But those are all things that happened in the future. At this time, Li Guodong was fighting against local tyrants and sharing the land near Longchuan.
"Boom" a village wall collapsed in the smoke of gunpowder, and the Huai Army and the Jinyiwei rushed into the village.
Seeing that the local genius who usually rides on his head as a mighty person is trapped on the pillars by a bunch of flowers, the tenants and slaves who have been bullied are most numb and their expressions are dumbfounded.
In the eyes of the people, what is the Jinyiwei? It is a court hawk who frames loyalty and good people and harms the people. It can stop children from crying at night. Although the people have never seen the Jinyiwei's various tortures. However, they often hear the local geniuses and gentry. When they hear it, they feel so painful. It's so terrible.
Now the Jinyiwei, who is like a monster in the minds of the people, is right in front of them. The people are a little unbelievable: the legendary factory guards are said to have green faces and fangs, and are described as ferocious, ten times more terrifying than the cow heads and horse faces, black and white impermanence.
However, in addition to being more fierce to fellow villagers and scholars, the Jinyiwei in front of them looked at the common people with charity. The leader of the Jinyiwei, who was wearing a jogging, a wingless black gauze hat, and a spring knife embroidered with a black hairpin on his waist, had a black face and a breath of uneven power on his body, and was also no different from ordinary people. There was also a Jinyiwei official wearing a crimson flying fish suit and a black hairpin on his head. He was fat and smiling, looking like a smiling Maitreya.
"Is this a smiley tiger?" The people were still upset.
The black-faced man who was not angry and powerful came out. Needless to say, this person knew, was Zhang Shuheng. He walked to the stage and looked around with a smile: "Dear fellow villagers, I am the legendary commander of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Shuheng, known as the Living King of Hell. But who are the nicknames of me? They are officials and gentry who surrendered to the enemy and treason, criminal officials and gentry who plotted against rebellion, and local tyrants who oppressed the people! In fact, like you, I was also an ordinary person who farmed for generations! When I was young, both my parents died and wandered around the world. Fortunately, the Jinyiwei saved me, so I joined the Jinyiwei!"
Zhang Shuheng paused for a moment and continued, "My Ming Dynasty is the world of the Zhu family. Everyone knows that Taizu was originally a commoner. Taizu raised an army to attack Baoyuan and seized the world. He was a good emperor for the people! Unfortunately, after the Tumubao Incident, the court was gradually controlled by corrupt officials. When the son came to power, the civil servants and local gentry were in vain, deceived Dazu, cruelly oppressed the people, and forced the people in the northwest to rebel. Today, when the capital was about to be destroyed, his Majesty suddenly realized that his Majesty swore to slander the people and acted on the way for heaven. All the people in the world were safe and warm, and to eliminate all the local tyrants and evil gentry! It is precisely because of the good deeds of the emperor to the people that they violated the vested interests that they would launch the pseudo-emperor with the intention of rebellion!"
It’s a pity that Zhang Shuheng talked for a long time, but the people just didn’t understand. The people in the north rebelled? Didn’t it mean that the people in the northwest of the north did not accept the king’s life and became bandits? As for why Emperor Chongzhen was captured by the capital, was it because he was a fool?
