Chapter 27

Liu Bu is reading all kinds of data and materials in his duty room. Liu Bu, a modern man, reads ancient materials and writes vertically, from left to right, without punctuation, and numbers are written in traditional characters, which makes him dyslexic. Therefore, every time he reads, he is very careful and can understand it. When he hears Liu Zhongyong's report, he puts down the materials in his hand, Then he said, "all passed?"

Liu Zhongyong said, "yes! All 808 passed, and the remaining 192 failed. All of them were reviewed by the end general in person, and none of them passed through“

Liu Bu said: "more than 300 people than expected."

Liu Zhongyong said, "yes! But these are really good seedlings and rare talents."

Liu preached, "our problem now is to recruit people first, then train them, and then see the effect. It's not a good idea to collect too much at once."

Liu Zhongyong said, "yes! The end will go back and let them draw lots in batches to secure their destiny."

Liu preached, "since you are here, you certainly won't want this result. I want to ask you, are you really very satisfied with these people?"

Liu Zhongyong said: "I'm very satisfied. Now the world is in chaos, the world is restless, and life is extremely difficult. These are good soldiers who came here for the way out of the whole family“

Liu Bu didn't discuss this issue any more and said, "boss Liu, what do you think of the young master's work?"

Liu Zhongyong said, "young master, you are a man who can achieve great things."

Liu preached, "boss Liu, I know you're not a flatterer. You always say one thing. Now I want to ask you, where can you see that I can succeed?"

Liu Zhongyong said, "my old Liu was a soldier at the age of 14. He has been a soldier for 40 years. He has been to all the nine important towns on the nine sides and followed countless generals and marshals. Young master, although you were not born in the imperial examination or martial arts, you have the style of these generals and marshals."

Liu Bu said, "I have the style of a famous general? Where can I start? I don't think so. Moreover, I can't even ride a horse well, and I can't shoot arrows and swords."

Liu Zhongyong said: "he is a good general who can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers and love soldiers like a son. As long as he is lucky, he will become famous sooner or later and finally achieve great things."

Liu Bu said: "good luck, what is called good luck."

Liu Zhongyong said, "luck is the most difficult thing to say. It means God wants you to be rich and prosperous. You can't be poor if you want to be poor. God wants you not to be rich. I'm afraid you inherited your family property from Deng Tong and Zhao Gongming, but it can't be passed down."

Liu Bu said, "you are an excellent officer. Why don't you continue to work for the imperial court and for my Liu family? How did my father accept you in those years?"

Liu Zhongyong said: "being a soldier is to eat food, and ultimately to live. There are families to support. It is impossible to live only by loyalty."

Liu Bu knows that you can't send electricity with love. The imperial court is like this. When people need money, you tell them your feelings, as if your feelings can be used as food.

Liu Bu said, "if these soldiers don't train well, they can't keep the Liu family. In the end, we will all be finished, so there is little difference between hundreds more and hundreds less. Now I want to know whether we can succeed? Just make an analogy. Can I deal with Liu Zeqing with more than 1000 troops?"

Liu Zhongyong was stunned and said, "young master wants to compete with Liu Zeqing."

Liu Bu smiled and said, "it's just a metaphor to measure the combat effectiveness of the army."

In fact, Liu Bu's ambition is extremely great. He says he is competing with Liu Zeqing. In fact, he means that he is competing with Shandong Province. He really wants to ask what kind of quality his army is in Shandong territory. If he can win Liu Zeqing's team, he will naturally be first-class. There is no problem in both vertical and horizontal sides.

Liu Zhongyong is a veteran. Of course, he can hear what Liu said. He said: "Liu Zeqing's ability to be the commander-in-chief of Shandong army is nothing special, but he is good at flattering the horse and embracing the thick legs of dignitaries. More importantly, he is a little lucky. He made contributions several times when suppressing the Wuqiao mutiny, so he became the commander-in-chief. When he entered the state, he asked the master for money and food, but the master refused, so he has always been loyal to him The master has a grudge. Now that he has become the chief soldier, he will certainly embarrass the master. But except for 800 soldiers under Liu Zeqing, others are a mob. They claim to be as many as 20000. In fact, they are similar to the soldiers in our Fushan Institute. They can't fight at all. "

Liu Bu said, "that's what I understand. It means you can have a dozen."

Liu Zhongyong said: "as long as you give me three months of training, I am sure to compete with Liu Zeqing's troops."

Liu Bo said, "since you are so confident, I must fully support you. Anyway, for the money and food of the Liu family, raising 800 is raising, and raising 1000 is also raising. Stay?"

Liu Zhongyong said, "more than 1000 people stayed, but only more than 800 people passed the examination."

Liu Bu said: "I now find that more than 800 soldiers are enough, but we lack the support of long-range firepower, that is, archers. I am ready to form the remaining 200 people into a bow and arrow team to cover them, and then our troops will have a certain Tactical Strike ability."

Liu Zhongyong said: "Liu Zeqing is not easy to deal with. He is the regular army of the imperial court. They have Buddha Lang machine gun, tiger squatting gun, bird gun, three eye gun and thunder gun. This kind of firepower is not easy to deal with. The most pity is that during the Wuqiao mutiny, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Tizhong defected to Huang Taiji with firearms. Now JianNu also has the dream big red clothes It's gone. "

Liu bu also felt quite a pity.

In those years, Nurhachi attacked Ningyuan and was injured by the Hong Yi cannon. Since then, JianNu has always wanted to have the red cannon, but there has been no way to obtain it, because the red cannon technology is extremely advanced, which can not be manufactured even in the Ming Dynasty. They bought it from the Portuguese from the far away Guangdong and Macao. JianNu has no way to buy it, and the Portuguese don't know it Dare to sell it to JianNu.

Since Sun Yuanhua, Xu Guangqi's apprentice, became governor of Denglai (East governor) Since then, he has been committed to buying red cannons from the Portuguese and copying them by himself. He has red cannons and his own imitation red cannons in his base in Dengzhou, as well as a large number of technicians and craftsmen who can imitate red cannons and Portuguese technicians. These people followed Kong Youde's surrender and built slaves outside the pass.

JianNu Dahan Huang Taiji was very surprised. He personally welcomed Shili and awarded Kong Youde as the king of Sanshun. Since then, JianNu has owned the red cannon. It is said that they are trying their best to imitate. After they have these weapons, Daming has no advantage in dealing with JianNu firearms.

Liu Bu and his men are now forming their own army. First of all, they want to train a servant as an experimental army. If they succeed, they will smash the pot and sell iron, but they should also expand it. However, at present, they are still in the training stage, so they should not support too many soldiers, so as not to lose control and end up.

As for the cannon, he would like to have it, but with their current strength and financial resources, it is not a good thing to have these things.

Artillery is the God of war, but in the current series of battles, the role of these firearms is far less than cold weapons.

Even if JianNu had cannons and red cannons, their riding and shooting were the key to winning the world.

Looking at the current world, firearms have achieved revolutionary development, but in the East, cold weapons still dominate the battlefield, and firearms are still auxiliary.

Liu Bu will certainly make his troops develop into firearms and hot weapons, but at this stage, they do not have the technology or talents in this field.

Liu Zhongyong is not an officer who is good at using firearms. At present, few of Liu Bu's officers are good at using artillery. They are all good at fighting with cold weapons.

Although Liu Bu knows that hot weapons are the trend of future development, at present, they still have to set their feet first, and then find a way to get firerope guns to make their troops firearm.

At present, there are also firearm troops in Daming's troops, such as the famous Shenji camp. In those days, Emperor Chengzu marched on Mobei and attacked Vietnam from afar. These firearm troops such as Shenji camp played the greatest role in every war, as well as the car camp founded by Qi Jiguang, which is also a famous strong army in the world. They are good at using firearms, but now Daming firearm is getting worse and worse.

This is not the problem of firearms. After 200 years of development in the Ming Dynasty, the technology of firearms itself has also made great progress, but their manufacturing technology has not made any progress because of the extreme corruption of the leadership. On the contrary, the manufacturing technology is even more backward. The firearms they produce are rough and indiscriminate, and the quality is so poor that the army is unwilling to use them now.

So that in recent decades, no army has mainly used firearms, and slowly when the West has been completely firearms, the army of Daming has gradually become cold weapons. Firearms have become an auxiliary thing in the army, and they are very weak.

Liu Bu will certainly develop his own firearms army, but he doesn't want to get it from Daming. Since the Liu family is so rich, can they get firearms from Portugal in Macao through trade?

The Portuguese in Macao recognize money but not people. They are willing to sell even red cannon, not to mention firerope guns and Fran machine guns. It is estimated that they will sell gold and silver. Therefore, Liu Bu plans to send someone to Macao to see if the Portuguese are willing to sell firerope guns. It is best to provide firerope gun technology.
