Strictly speaking, the Southern Dynasty Army was not a rebel army. This was later confirmed. This army was taken by Fang Chi to recruit new troops for the imperial court.

He is worthy of being a loyal and brave man, and worthy of the word loyalty and bravery.

Only after the rebellion was put down, he asked to go to the northwest, willing to stay for the sake of revival.

The northwest used to be a place where criminals were exiled, but not all of them are now. His Majesty once said that criminals should not be exiled because it would be an advantage to them and they should be forced to work, so these criminals were arranged to work in the mines and coal fields...

Many people in the Jianghuai and Jianghuai areas were convicted of rebellion. They were not exiled, but were sent to the Southern Barbarians. Their task was to transport red soil.

Your Majesty's methods of punishing people are becoming more and more sophisticated, but they don't know that that kind of red soil actually contains extremely high iron content and is a natural iron ore...

Even so, Fang Jie's trip to the northwest is still considered a kind of exile.

Why are two people with the same merit treated so differently?

In their view, this was all because of Fang Chi's son, who was too deeply involved in the Food Collection Administration.

Later, Lu Zhengyuan also submitted a formal inventory document to the court. Officials in the Grain Recruitment Administration took advantage of the war to forcibly collect private treasures to make huge profits... Later, some were recovered, but the portion belonging to "Fang Jie" was

But it was not recovered.

He supplied them all to the Southern Dynasty Army.

This is an army composed of young men and women.

Fang Jie also took great pains in recruiting, and now they still bear the name of the Sin Army...

At that time, they were given a choice. If they did not want to join the army, they could simply quit. In the end, no one was willing to quit.

This is joining the army. How can there be such a good thing?

It is now the eighteenth year since the founding of the new dynasty, but the number of military conscriptions by the imperial court is only a handful, while the treatment of soldiers has been improving year by year.

His Majesty takes care of everything before and after his life and death. He is focused on fighting for the country and does not need to think about anything else.

Maybe in the future, if you go to the battlefield and get military exploits, you can become a noble and get a fiefdom...

Once you come, you won’t leave.

Whoever leaves is a fool.

They were already prepared for rigorous training. After all, the military training in the Southern Dynasty was not compromised. It was completely based on the regular army of the imperial court, so there was nothing to fear...

What makes them strange is that they did not experience the rigorous training expected when they came here, but instead went through a "special" selection first.

For example, write a lot of mountain characters with a black pen on a piece of cardboard, but the mouth faces in different directions and the sizes are different. Then, take the cardboard to a certain distance and ask them to point out the mouth according to the mountain character pointed by the instructor.

Direction...it is said to be a test of eyesight.

There is also a test of accuracy.

You can use anything, a pebble, a slingshot, a bow and arrow... whatever you can use, to hit the placed objects in the distance.

There are also some who don’t know how to take tests at all.

After layers of selection, only 10,000 people were left out of 100,000 people...

Everyone was confused and didn't know what to do.

And today, they were told that His Majesty would be coming to issue weapons to them!

arms?

What kind of weapons should be issued by His Majesty himself?

Everyone lined up, and the wait did not take long before His Majesty arrived.

They have not seen His Majesty.

They were originally brought to Huaizhou by Fang Chi, and then they were told that they had been sold, the King of Huai'an had surrendered, and they were waiting for the imperial army to take over.

They were just newbies who came to Shangjing and accepted the adaptation.

His Majesty is more majestic than they imagined. He is wearing a black crown robe with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered on it, carrying an unparalleled aura...

Everyone was excited, including those who were not selected into the queue. They were also present, but they were not the protagonists because His Majesty was before them.

"Today will definitely be an unforgettable day for you. From today on, you will become a musketeer!"

Guan Ning spread the word loudly, but what he got in return was a look of confusion. The musketeers had heard of it, but what were these musketeers?

"You must have heard of the Firearms Camp. You must know that there is a weapon in the Firearms Camp called a Fire Gun... and the Fire Gun is an improvement from the Fire Gun!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became excited and the entire team began to commotion.

So far, the Firearms Camp is no secret. Even ordinary people have heard its legend. It is said that Your Majesty is a god who descended to earth and accidentally obtained a secret book, which contains various magical manufacturing techniques, among which firearms are one of them.

one……

Later, His Majesty had this guard of honor and fought in all directions.

This also shows people's reverence for firearms. This is an extremely powerful weapon, and firecrackers can kill people invisible.

Are they... going to become such soldiers?

Is this true?

"Come here, fire the gun!"

Guan Ning shouted loudly.

He always felt that on such an occasion, wearing such clothes and saying such words was a bit inappropriate, and it felt like watching a divine drama...

No, it’s like being in a divine drama.

Under his order, burly soldiers came over carrying large boxes. After opening them, they saw dark and bright muskets.

Strictly speaking, it should be called a tunnel gun!

Over a long period of time, Daning evolved from the crude tubular firearms it first used, to the muskets that used giant bamboo barrels to fire zithers, to the muskets with steel barrels, to the matchlock guns... and then gradually improved.

Finally arrived at the current tunnel gun.

The match rope ignition was changed to flint ignition, which was improved on the basis of the musket. The spring steel wheel was removed, and a flint was clamped on the jaw of the hammer. There was an anvil next to the fire hole. When shooting, the buckle

Pull the trigger, and under the action of the spring, hit the flint hard against the fire door, causing sparks to ignite the gunpowder and fire.

This tunnel gun greatly simplifies the shooting process, improves the firing rate and shooting accuracy, is easy to use, has low cost, and is convenient for mass production.

Guan Ning's goal is to make it become Daning's mainstream equipment. Of course, this also requires an improvement in productivity, and more importantly, some "elite soldiers" who can use it.

A musket is not a long gun that can be used to stab people. When productivity is insufficient, every bullet cannot be wasted...

Therefore, Guan Ning decided to select among these people and tentatively selected more than 10,000 people.

He took out all his inventory and built an army of muskets from scratch!

Thinking about the scene of so many people shooting volleys... Well, it seems like being immersed in a divine drama again.

Guan Ning got rid of the distracting thoughts.

Looking at the soldiers in front of them, their eyes were already shining, and they couldn't move their eyes away from those dark tunnel guns.

Is this true?

Why is it like a dream?

Originally, they just rebelled with the King of Huai'an, but they never expected to become a regular army from a rebel army, let alone become a musketeer and a member of the firearms battalion!

At this moment, Guan Ning's shout brought them back from their thoughts.

"This tunnel gun doesn't completely belong to you yet. Whether it can truly become your weapon depends on you!"
