The end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 67 Artillery

Liu Xia is very satisfied with the results obtained after seeing the craftsmen this time. Unexpectedly, she found that there are dozens of talents who can build muskets, which is very important for the development of firearms in the future. Other craftsmen may not need it, but these dozens of people must be kept, but now they have no time to build muskets, so they can only seize the time to build weapons.

On the way back, Liu Xia suddenly remembered that he still had artillery, plus the two captured and the previous one, and now he has three artillery. There can't be no artillery in Shangqiu City, right? Thinking of this, Liu Xia said to Chen Liu beside him, "by the way, what's the name of the person I used to ask to manage the tiger squat gun?"

Chen Liu said, "Your Majesty, that man is called Wang Xiaotong and is under the jurisdiction of the Guard Camp. The general can ask General Wang.

As soon as Chen Liu's voice fell, Wang Shitou smiled and said, "General, Wang Xiaotong is indeed a subordinate of the last general. That day, the general gave him a captain, with ten people and a cannon. Now Wang Xiaotong is staying with the logistics camp in the city.

Liu Xia said indifferently, "Let's go back quickly. Stone will let Wang Xiaotong come to see the general."

"Drive! Drive!"

......

In the courtyard where the logistics camp is located, dozens of people were doing nothing in the courtyard at this time. One of them, a man in bright silver armor carefully wiped the door in the room with a towel. It looked small and some of the damaged tiger squat gun. There were two tiger squat guns next to the tiger squat gun, but there were many new ones.

A soldier in the courtyard held a piece of grass in his mouth and muttered, "I've been idle these days. Since I was integrated into the artillery team by the general, I haven't fought again, which makes my hands itchy."

Another soldier was also full of bitter water and said, "Which of us is afraid of death? Who doesn't want to rush into battle and make contributions? Alas, how many battles the generals have fought now are all those Hu Ben Battalion, Wolf Roar Battalion and Lion Battalion on the battlefield, which has nothing to do with our artillery.

"Yes, yes, it seems that the general doesn't pay attention to our artillery at all. Otherwise, we would have been allowed to go to war long ago. If the cannon is fired, it can blow up a lot of people, which is much faster than they riding horses and killing the enemy with big knives."

The man who wiped the tiger squatted on the cannon also listened to these soldiers all the time. After hearing this, he felt a little uncomfortable. The artillery team has not participated in the battle for so long. This is still because the general does not trust the artillery that the artillery can fight.

"I heard that our general has now become a lord. Our army is also known as the Pingbei Army, and we have to change into a new military uniform. I heard from the brothers of other battalions that we need to put two pieces of cloth on the new military uniform. What is the rank?"

Another soldier said, "I've heard about this. It's spread in other battalions. Our artillery doesn't know. Although our artillery is under the jurisdiction of the Guards, the Guards are always around the general. They will go wherever the general goes, and they will have any time to take care of us? Now we are thrown into the logistics battalion, but we have no direct relationship with the logistics battalion, and the officers of the logistics battalion don't treat us as their own. Alas, this is really grandma who doesn't love her uncle.

At this time, a soldier suddenly turned his head and said to the man who was wiping the tiger squat gun and said, "Captain, we can't go on like this. There is no war, and no one cares. If there is any news from other battalions, life is really hard. Captain, you'd better go to the general and see if the general can let Let's go to another camp."

The man is Wang Xiaotong, the captain of the artillery. He is also very uncomfortable in his heart, but there is nothing he can do. After all, he is just a captain and doesn't have much voice at all. It is very difficult to see Liu Xia.

Wang Xiaotong can only say, "Brothers, we have three cannons now. We will defeat the enemy well in the next war. The general will definitely pay attention to us. At that time, the general will realize the importance of the artillery, and our identity will naturally improve."

"Alas, captain, I don't know how many times you have said this. It's not that the brothers don't believe you, but now all the battalions know that our artillery battalion is dispensable. The general doesn't pay attention to it, and others look down on it."

"Squeak~~"

The door of the yard was pushed open, and the people in the yard looked away one after another. Generally, no one came to their small yard at all.

I saw three burly soldiers coming in from the outside, one of whom walked in front and the other two followed. They strode in and said, "Which of you is Captain Wang Xiaotong?"

Although dozens of soldiers in this artillery team are puzzled and don't know who these people are, they are still a little happy. It must be a good thing to see that the other party is so polite and naturally not come to find faults.

Wang Xiaotong did not dare to neglect. He quickly put down the cloth in his hand and came over and said, "I'm Wang Xiaotong. I don't know who you are?"

The big man smiled and said, "Don't look outside, don't look outside. We are all soldiers of the Qinwei camp, a family. I'm a small captain of the SS, and my name is Fang Tong. Just call me Lao Fang. This time the general wants you to go there. Get ready and go with me.

"What! General, get over there!" As soon as the copper voice fell, dozens of artillerymen in the yard exclaimed. The general thought of them, and they might be developed this time.

Fang Tong was not surprised by the exclamation of these people. He was not surprised by this kind of thing. After all, as a member of the pro-guard camp, he often sent orders to Liu Xia by Liu Xia's side. Many people who heard Liu Xia or the camp leader called the roll call, and many of them were not surprised.

Wang Xiaotong was very excited. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He must state the power of the artillery to the general, so that he could come out. Although he was very excited, Wang Xiaotong was very calm on the surface, which made Fang Tong surprised.

Wang Xiaotong tried his best to calm himself down and said with excitement in his heart, "Captain Fang, I'll go with you. Let's go now. I have nothing to prepare." Then Wang Xiaotong said to the soldiers of the artillery team behind him, "I haven't wiped the three cannons just now. You can continue to wipe them."

The soldiers nodded quickly and said yes.

Fang Tong said with a smile, "Congratulations to Captain Wang first. Don't forget your little brother when you get promoted. Let's go first."

"Captain Wang, please go"

At that time, Liu Xia tasted slowly with a cup of tea, and Chen Liu sat next to him and swayed with a fan.

At this time, a personal soldier came in from the outside and said, "General, Wang Xiaotong of the artillery has arrived."

Liu Xia said lightly, "Let him in."

Wang Xiaotong slowly came in with some restraint. When he saw Liu Xia, he quickly kowtowed and said, "The general doesn't know how to find a small..."

Liu Xia put down the cup of tea and said in a man's voice, "Get up. I'm looking for you here for the artillery."

Wang Xiaotong was very excited after hearing this. It was really a matter of artillery. It seems that the general still knows the importance of artillery. He doesn't have to have nothing to do in the future. He suppressed the joy in his heart. Wang Xiaotong said, "The general's small hands now has three tigers squatting cannons, and there are also many shells. It's completely ready to fight. It can be defeated by those thieves.

Liu Xia'en said, "I know the power of the artillery, but I'm not here today to discuss the war, but to reorganization of your artillery."

"Reorganization?" Wang Xiaotong looked at Liu Xia with some doubts and said, "How will the general change the system?"

Liu Xia said indifferently, "Now you have three tiger squat guns in your hand. I found three tiger squat guns and a cannon in red from the city, and let you control them. You will be given some people to form an artillery brigade, and the personnel will be selected from the new barracks. I don't know if you can use the red cannon?

After listening to Liu Xia's words, Wang Xiaotong's heart turned upside down. He changed from a small captain in charge of ten people to a captain in charge of 200 people. This speed was so fast that he was a little uncomfortable. After a while, Wang Xiaotong quickly bowed to Liu Xia and said, "General Xie, General Xie. The cannon in red will be used.

Liu Xia waved her hand and said, "If you can manage the artillery well, I will continue to promote the army at that time. In the future, your artillery will be independent from the Guards and directly accept the jurisdiction of the general. Liu Xia's words are not empty words. In the future, the artillery will be a very important arms, and the head level of the artillery will certainly not be low.

"Go back and pull the three tiger squat guns and the red cannons into your camp and take good care of them."

Wang Xiaotong immediately said excitedly, "Yes, the last general will definitely carry forward the artillery, attack the enemy with the momentum of thunder, and fight for the general."

Liu Xia nodded and smiled, "You go down first."

"The last will leave"

............

Before Wang Xiaotong entered the courtyard, a soldier found Wang Xiaotong's figure and shouted, "The captain is back, the captain is back."

The other soldiers in the yard immediately put down their work and ran out of the door. Wang Xiaotong had slept in their hope, not to mention what an honor to be summoned by the general alone. You should know that Wang Xiaotong is just a small captain.

Since the general has been summoned, he will definitely not give anything. Maybe he will reward Wang Xiaotong with some benefits. How can these soldiers not be excited? Can they reward Wang Xiaotong with benefits?

When Wang Xiaotong saw these brothers in his hand, his face suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know what the general asked me to do?"

One of the soldiers said, "The general will definitely give the general a reward. Otherwise, how can the general have time to summon us on that day?"

Wang Xiaotong nodded and shook his head with a smile, which made other brothers a little confused. What does Wang Xiaotong mean?
