Chapter 6

After returning the little girl to his room, Qin Huan did not care any more. He and Li Dingguo came outside the city and began to recruit people.

Thanks to the attack of the county, the old and weak women and children outside the city also had a few full meals, and their faces were full of hope for the future.

In the righteous army, only when they become the personal guards of the leaders can they go to live in the city. Similarly, only the personal guards can eat dry food at once and enjoy the happiness of their families. The rest are cannon fodder.

If you want to be a pro guard, you should not only be tall and strong, but also dare to fight and fight. Only then can you be favored by the leaders. Of course, if you can master martial arts and horse riding, it must be the object of contention among the leaders.

Zhang Xianzhong has ten leaders. Those with strong strength have two or three hundred confidants, while those with weak strength only have dozens of people. Even the eighth king himself is only more than 500 personal guards.

In total, the number will not exceed 2000. Only these people will have real knives and guns. A few people even have cotton armor and war horses.

The families of these people will be under unified management, which is called the back camp. In addition, Qin Huan's firearms camp and the eight kings' personal guard camp have a total of 13 camps.

Qin Huan planned to choose all the 14-year-old boys, and they were orphans.

My Lord, he is afraid that he can't be brought down and easy to manage. He can't support those with family members, so orphans are suitable.

After beating gongs and drums, the teenagers who came to sign up almost lined up by the Han River.

Qin Huan chose it himself, tossed it over and over, and finally decided on a hundred places. The largest one was no more than sixteen and the smallest one was fourteen.

These 100 people, not too smart, not too stupid, and those who have eaten human flesh stand aside.

"Brother Qin, is it wrong for you to recruit all these orphans?" Li Dingguo frowned at the skinny teenagers.

Casting guns and operating firearms are all manual work. Are these guys really competent?

"Brother Dingguo, although they are thin now, as long as they eat two full meals, they will be lively immediately. Moreover, it is too dangerous to configure gunpowder to cast guns. They are younger, more obedient and easier to manage."

Qin Huan explained, my heart said, I'll make a fart gun.

Of course, if there were enough copper and skilled craftsmen, he might not be able to do it. He just made a mold out of mud and poured an iron pipe?

When Li Dingguo saw him say that, he didn't say anything. He was no more than two years older than Qin Huan. He had often suffered losses before, so he understood his difficulties.

After returning to the city with his people, Qin Huan wanted to find a separate yard as a residence, but he found that all the more suitable ones were occupied by the other battalions.

Finally, he had to partner with Li Dingguo temporarily, and then find an open space outside the city to build a camp.

Otherwise, he will always be crowded with Li Dingguo's people, which will inevitably not become his vassal in the future, and will also affect the loyalty of those teenagers to him.

Li Dingguo had two hundred confidants and guards stationed in two courtyards. The last courtyard was given to Qin Huan, the one where he rested last night.

This time, a large number of iron, weapons and grain were seized, and all battalions were expanding their confidants. Li Dingguo also recruited 2000 young people, but these people were stationed outside the city.

Qin Huan's yard is not big. In addition to a bedroom in the front, there are four wing rooms on the left and right sides.

One room is used to prepare gunpowder and stack firearms. The other three rooms can still sleep when a hundred teenagers are crowded.

In the hospital.

A hundred shabby and dirty teenagers stood together, looking a little crowded, and everyone was excited.

"From today on, you are the people of my firearm camp. Let me introduce myself. My name is Qin Huan. I am your commander, your food and clothing parents, and a great benefactor who rescued you from the edge of death,

A man can do everything to survive, but he must not be ungrateful. Otherwise, what is the difference between him and animals? I hope you remember that. "

Qin Huan stood on a table, glanced at the young people and said in awe of righteousness, completely forgetting the word shame.

The teenagers were all looking at Qin Huan.

"Mom, my little brother is so powerful. What he said is reasonable."

"My mother knew he was the one who wanted to repay his kindness. Wan'er, you should remember that he rescued our mother and daughter. We must never forget our kindness in the future, otherwise it will be an animal."

"But are they bad guys? Father and Grandpa were killed by them... "

"Ah! It was the other anti thieves who killed your father and grandpa. It was the eight kings. My mother believed that he had to join the anti thief. You must distinguish between the enemy and the benefactor, you know? "

"Yes!"

The mother and daughter lie behind the door and look at the scene in the yard. The beautiful woman begins to teach her daughter.

Qin Huan's speech outside was coming to an end. Seeing that 100 teenagers were no longer as confused as before, he nodded with satisfaction.

"After dinner later, go to the water well in the front yard to wash your body and your clothes. Then come back and clean up the three rooms. Who dares to disobey my order and drive out of the firearm camp in the future? Do you hear clearly?"

"Yes, chief!"

A hundred people answered loudly.

At this time, the rice in the big pot on the side was almost cooked. A hundred people lined up and each ate two bowls before taking a bath.

Qin Huan then returned to the room. The mother and daughter knelt down immediately.

"Thank you for saving Wan'er. Wan'er, come on, kowtow to en Gong..."

"Thank you for saving my life!"

"Well, you don't have to call me Grandpa. It's even. Mrs. Li, I can only shelter you temporarily. I hope you have a number in mind." Qin Huan waved his hand.

"I understand that as long as you can protect Wan'er, I will die." The beautiful woman nodded as if she had been prepared.

"Niang, Wan'er, don't leave you." However, Li Waner threw herself into her mother's arms and began to cry.

"Mrs. Li, wait a minute. I'll get you a suit of men's clothes and wrap it there. It's too eye-catching. Don't go out of the yard in the future. You also have to change men's clothes. You'll make a floor shop in the house at night."

"Yes!"

The beautiful woman nodded awkwardly.

After the instructions, Qin Huan went to the side room to check the firearms sent by Li Dingguo.

More than a dozen bird guns can only be returned to the furnace, otherwise they are a sharp weapon for suicide and self mutilation. On the contrary, the cannon on the side is rusty, but it should still be able to be used after beating the drum.

It's a cannon. In fact, it's a bowl mouth gun. The gun tube is almost as thick as the bowl mouth. It's about a meter long and weighs three or four hundred kilograms. I don't know what year it is.

However, the earlier the casting, the better the quality. The market of the Ming Dynasty is there.

More than 50 kilograms of sulfur, because it was used by the medicine shop, the purity is already very high and can be used directly.

The formula of gunpowder is basically known in previous lives.

So the more than 50 kilograms can be matched with at least two or three thousand kilograms of gunpowder.
