Chapter 77 Gain Again
In general, there is not much business on the Lianhuazhai side. The main thing is to repair the wall. Several more bunkers will be built at the existing wall to strengthen the guarding force of the wall and the gate. The project is far less than that of Shuangfengzhai, and this is also the main station of the Xingtian Army. The war barracks are basically stationed here. It is the first project after the year. It is to set up a heroic shrine in the cottage. Jin Fuzi is responsible for this matter. Xiao Tianjian has nothing to care about, so he handed over all the affairs here to Yan Chongxi.
On the morning of the second day of the Chinese New Year, he took the new barracks and pulled up a batch of supplies sent to Shuangfengzhai and Dongye Town. In addition, several large cars of various copper ware were also sent to Shuangfengzhai for later casting cannons.
Gao Su also waited for Xiao Tianjian's departure on the school grounds early. He changed into a clean Xing Tianjun military uniform and wore his Western-style sword around his waist. It was somewhat out of the same. It was a little ridiculous after watching it, but Gao Su didn't think so. He felt that his new dress was very good, and The new pair of boots sent to him were also spotless. He stood on the side of the school yard with his chest folded and his belly, watching the soldiers of Xing Tianjun practicing the formation.
When Xiao Tianjian was ready to leave, he passed by the campus and saw Gao Su staring at Xing Tianjun's queue training on the campus, so he waved someone to bring him over.
"What do you think of the military appearance of our Xing Tianjun?" Xiao Tianjian is happy to listen to the opinions of this Western mercenary on his army. After all, he came up with this formation because of hearsay, and he doesn't know whether it is really the same as the formation commonly used in the Western army now.
Gao Su said to Xiao Tianjian with some surprise, "In the general's army, are there any of us who help the general train soldiers?"
After Xiao Tianjian was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood what he meant and smiled, "No, you are the first foreign devil I have ever seen!" Ha ha!"
Gao Su scratched his head with a surprised face and said, "That's strange. Does it coincide? If so, the general must be a military genius. The formations practiced by the general's soldiers are very similar to the formations we use. They are all based on long spearmen and with musketeers as an important means of attack. They are only equipped with some shields, which exceed the number of shield soldiers, without our army. The long halberd in the team is different from the array we use, but in terms of team layout and queue conversion, it is very similar to the methods commonly used by our national army! It's strange! That's strange! I still saw the first army to use this kind of team here! So just now I thought that under the general, people from our Western countries provided guidance to the general!"
"Oh? Do you think the kind of array used by my army is basically the same as yours? Xiao Tianjian immediately asked Gao Su.
"Yes! Very similar! Moreover, the discipline of the soldiers under the general is very good, and the generals are very obedient to orders. This is the best of all the troops I have seen in your country. If the general faces other armies in your country with the same strength, the general's current army can be invincible!
But the general's array is also different from our army. The number of muskets in the general's army is too small. In our army, the number of muskets has basically reached about half of the troops, while among the general's soldiers, there are less than 20% of the muskets. This In this case, it can't match the strength of our army!
In addition, the general's use of the musketeer is not correct. The correct thing is to concentrate the musketeer on the four corners of the team. In this way, it will not affect the change of formation. The enemy will be shot by the musketeer no matter from any direction, and the general's soldiers's current practice will obviously be delayed. Between! Once attacked by the enemy from the side, it is too late to change the formation, and the flanks will be scattered by the enemy. In that case, the general's phalanx will collapse quickly!" Gao Su pointed to the soldiers who were practicing in the queue in the school yard and said to Xiao Tianjian.
Xiao Tianjian is happy. He has been training the soldiers of the Xingtian Army based on his previous memory. Although he has learned some knowledge of the Western infantry phalanx, he is not very clear about how the Western infantry phalanx is arranged in details, so for a long time, he is basically He touched the stone to cross the river and won a lot of battles, so he thought that it should be the Western and modern infantry phalanx, but today he met an pedian, and he saw the problem of the infantry phalanx he is currently using.
Xiao Tianjian nodded with a smile on his face and replied, "That's right, that's right!" The problem of the musketeers is not that I don't want to have more, but because we have just gained a foothold. Most of these birds are captured, so there are only so many. If you want more, you can only rely on us to build it ourselves in the future! Come on, come on! Get on the horse, let's talk as we walk on the road! Come on, bring a horse for Gao Su!"
Gao Su was a little proud. Finally, he had a chance to show off in front of Xiao Tianjian. This time, even the horse was mixed up. It can be seen that Xiao Tianjian paid more attention to him.
Looking at a carriage coming from the village and two healthy women following the carriage, Xiao Tianjian said to Gao Su, "Gao Su, Miss Fan is sitting in the car. If you meet Miss Fan, you can go and say hello!"
Gao Su was a little strange, so he asked Xiao Tianjian, "Didn't the general kidnap Miss Fan to ask for a ransom? Why haven't you exchanged the ransom and put Miss Fan back? And do you have to take care of Miss Fan with you when you go out? Gao Su has been raising horses these days. Of course, he doesn't know the confrontation between Xiao Tianjian and the Fan family and the transaction between them.
Xiao Tianjian's face darkened and said, "These things are not something you can ask about. I should tell you, and I will tell you!" Let's go!"
de! Gao Su didn't dare to ask more questions. After asking Xiao Tianjian, he didn't let him go to see Miss Fan. So he obediently took a war horse sent to him, turned over and rode on horseback, followed Xiao Tianjian honestly, and then followed the team out of Lianhua Village and walked in the direction of Shuangfeng Village.
After leaving Lianhua Village, Gao Su has been thinking about Fan Yutong. After thinking about it, he can't figure it out why. According to reason, Xiao Tianjian is a robber, and Fan Yutong was kidnapped by him. Xiao Tianjian should have extorted ransom from the Fan family and then let Fan Yutong go. But for so long, Fan Yutong has been here. In this, Xiao Tianjian went on a tour and actually took her with him. Will it be...
Gao Su looked at Xiao Tianjian and didn't dare to say anything, but he also began to have some reverie between Xiao Tianjian and Fan Yutong.
After leaving Lianhuazhai, Gao Su was finally allowed to see Fan Yutong when he walked on the road. After walking to the carriage, he quickly got off the horse and bowed to Fan Yutong sitting on the car and said, "Dear Miss Fan! I can't escort Miss Fan to Nanjing City safely. It's my dereliction of duty. Please forgive me, Miss Fan!"
Fan Yutong looked at Gao Su, a foreign devil, with great interest in the car window and said with a smile, "I can't blame you for this. You have tried your best!" I want to thank you so much! Don't mention this again! It seems that you are also going to work for General Xiao?"
"Yes, Miss Fan, I came to your country. There is really no way to make a living. Now that General Xiao wants to use me, I promised the general to stay here to work for him. I am very grateful to Miss Fan and the care of me. I hope I can work for Miss Fan one day!" Gao Su replied politely to Fan Yutong.
Fan Yutong smiled and said, "I don't need to mention it anymore. It's just because I was curious about you at the beginning. You are a very serious person. You have already done what you should do. Don't worry about it anymore. By the way, what is that guy going to do for him?"
Gao Su didn't know what the relationship between Fan Yutong and Xiao Tianjian was now, so he hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to say anything. Xiao Tianjian came to the carriage at this time and smiled, "Gao Su, you can tell Miss Fan that I have nothing to hide from Miss Fan!"
After listening to it, Gao Su began to believe that Xiao Tianjian must have an inexplicable relationship with Miss Fan at present. Otherwise, he would not hide it from Fan Yutong about things like private casting cannons. Maybe the two of them must have a 'untuous relationship'. Otherwise, why doesn't this Miss Fan look at all now? The look of fear seems to be flirting with this Xiao Tianjian?
So Gao Su did not dare to be disrespectful to Fan Yutong. He quickly bowed to Fan Yutong and said, "The general hired me to be his guncasting division, and in the future, I will cast cannons for the general's army!"
After hearing this, Fan Yutong was slightly shocked. She didn't expect that this red-haired man who was as long as a monster could cast cannons, and Xiao Tianjian would actually use him to cast cannons for the Xing Tianjun. If Xiao Tianjian could even cast cannons, wouldn't Xing Tianjun really be unlimited in the future?
"Can you make cannons?" Fan Yutong looked at Gao Su suspiciously.
Gao Su straightened up with dissatisfaction and replied, "Miss Fan, don't look down on me as a foreigner. The Hongyi cannon used by your court is cast by us Westerners, and I am not only an excellent mercenary, but also a cannon casting family, so I am also a smart gunner!"
Fan Yutong glanced at Xiao Tianjian, who was riding on the horse. Xiao Tianjian smiled and said, "I, Xiao, use people regardless of China and foreign. This is also called demotion of talents in an eclectic style! Ha ha!"
Fan Yutong still remembered Xiao Tianjian's New Year's Eve, left her running away, gave Xiao Tianjian a white look, and then said to Gao Su, "Then I also congratulate you on finding a good master!" After saying that, he closed the curtains and didn't say anything to them.
And Gao Su immediately explained, "The general can't be called my master!" Only if I am his slave can he be my master. We are the mercenary relationship, and it is the general who hired me to work for him!"
Xiao Tianjian was uninteresting in Fan Yutong, so he said to Gao Su angrily, "Let's go! I know you are not my slave, and I am not in the mood to accept you as my slave! Get on the horse, we still have to hurry!"
Fan Yutong sat in the warm car. Listening to Xiao Tianjian's angry voice outside the car, he couldn't help laughing.
