Things in Guangzhou have already emerged, which is not a good sign. The problems of the new army have become the top priority again. Dozens of artillery, 5,000 new army, and tens of thousands of reserves must be integrated into combat power as soon as possible.

The muskets and sabers purchased several times were only enough to equip half of the personnel. The gunpowder projectiles had just been tested. The blacksmith shop that had previously ignored the weapons was now included in Yang Meng's sight.

One thousand five hundred hidden horses were taken away, and more than thirty three-pound cannons, two six-pound cannons purchased by father-in-law Pan Shicheng, and dozens of green camp cannons in western Yunnan, another thousand five hundred people were taken away and became artillery soldiers.

Infantry became the shortcomings of the new army. The two thousand infantrymen had to be left over from the cavalry and artillery. All the people brought from the elder brother were used as infantry, so they could barely gather 3,000 people. As for the guards on the caravan, they could only let the old man and the elder brother find a way.

If the troops in western Yunnan want to exert their true combat power, it is impossible to train without three to five months of training. It will take a lot of time for the new army to officially become an army. If the new army is trained, it is still a question whether it can fight.

As soon as there was a problem with the Guangzhou trade route, the entire Yang family was implicated. Now it is impossible to abandon the Guangzhou trade route. Yunnan's foundation is far from being self-sufficiency. It seems that I have thought things too simple before.

The greed of the great powers and the weakness of the Qing Dynasty were about to put the Yang family in a quagmire. The idea of ​​fighting for exclusive sales in Guangzhou seemed to be a failure of his own. If he wanted to calm down this matter, he could only rely on the grievances between the great powers and his five thousand new troops.

After recruiting Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang to Yiliang Manor, Yang Meng said his thoughts and these two people knew that the busy days of work were wasted again.

"San Master, I have also checked some classics these days. Regarding the practice of cavalry, I negotiated with Master Ge. When the King of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, practiced a cavalry, called Yiding Tuqi, which was constructed by the mountain people in Yunnan. He was brave and good at fighting no less than the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners of the past.

Our cavalry tactics are different from those in the West. What I mean is the combination of Chinese and Western styles. The brigade uses the Western style to train military tactics when fighting. When fighting, the Yi Ding cavalry uses the method of scattering cavalry to train troops.

As for infantry, swords and guns, we use our methods, muskets and cannons, and we have made arrangements for military and logistics camps. I wonder what instructions the Third Master has to give?"

In the past few days, Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang have also worked hard, compared and confirmed each other, and then came up with methods of training and organization.

"Well! Let's do it! In the past few months, I may have to use this group of new troops. Is this method easy to use and you will know if it's easy to try. A few mercenaries from the missionary who came last time? Master Ge took them to train the new troops. Mr. Wei, your task is to dig some suitable personnel from the green camp and add them to the military station. We will organize the new troops tomorrow."

Wei Wu could understand what Yang Meng said. Is the Yang family in trouble again? As far as he knows, the relationship between the Yang family and the court was when the oil was mixed in Mili. Sichuan copper entered Yunnan. The Yang family relieved the court of four million kilograms of fine copper. The court would not attack the Yang family at this time.

Thinking of foreign guns and the origin of artillery, Wei Wu's heartstrings suddenly became tense. Could it be that there was a rift between the Yang family and the foreign devils and the war was about to start?

"Lord, it should be a step forward for artillery casting. If a war is to be launched, the power and range of the three-pound cannon are not enough for field battles. The most basic type of artillery should be positioned in the range of more than six pounds to twenty pounds, so that the power of the artillery can be fully demonstrated.

I looked up some books and referred to the raw materials provided by Mr. Wei Wu, bronze, brass, and white copper. These are the best raw materials for casting cannons. As long as the Lord hires some European technicians, I think the production of cannons will be easy."

Wei Wu did not speak, but his foreign master made suggestions. It seemed that his temptation to start a war also determined the difference between the two. Wei Wu still needs to be wary of this. If Ge Shiyang's family arrives in Yunnan, his foreign master will be more trustworthy than Wei Wu.

"Yeah! OK! Master Ge's suggestion is good, but the artillery matter will be put on hold for the time being. Let's focus on the new army!"

Looking at the gloomy Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang with an anxious look, Yang Meng also made a conclusion. Now the new army is the key point. No matter how useful other things are, they have to wait until the Yang family is stable before they can talk about it.

Yang Meng set the tone, Ge Shiyang also suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and the three of them formed the new army together.

"Mr. Wei, after the Ming Dynasty, you should hurry up and work on the opening matter, and add military personnel to the important position. Governor He's order to strengthen education should also be promoted to Guizhou. We still have too few talents.

Master Ge, I will give you twenty elite swordsmen tonight. You will take them to control the mercenaries. During the training, who dares not do their best and kill them directly. After all, I have paid a lot of money. They cannot produce qualified goods and can only pay off their debts with their lives."

Wei Wu is difficult to use for great use, and his intentions are different! Compared with Wei Ge, the foreign devil, Ge Shiyang, was more concerned about his own rise and fall. Wei Wu was too scheming and could not figure it out by himself, so he should be careful when using it.

The next day, in Yiliang's Hulukou Camp, Wei Tuozi led 5,000 New Army and more than 1,000 Yang's swordsmen, standing in the camp in Hougu. Compared with the Yang's swordsmen, the new army's spirit was obviously higher.

"You are not bad! After half a year of training, you have endured hardships, but you have also achieved results! Today is the day of becoming a military army. I gave you swords, guns, artillery, and I gave you fewer people! I can win! It's my request!

Wei Tuozi, build a new army!"

Yang Meng, standing on the high platform, first praised him, and then read out the compilation.

As the commander of the new army, Wei Tuozi brought a gold-inlaid foreign knife, a long spear, a short spear, and a banner embroidered with the words "Epidemic Prevention Camp". After taking these, Wei Tuozi knelt down and bowed to Yang Meng, and then started to call the name.

With the whispering reminder of the clerk behind him, Wei Tuozi began to name one by one. The people who were named knelt in front of Yang Meng and took the sword and gun.

First, the officers from the five thousand men of Xun received a gold-inlaid sword, long and short gun from Yang Meng, then fifty sentry officers, and finally five hundred team leaders.

The choice of these personnel depends on the quality of training, and then the relationship with the Yang family. Wei Tuozi is the old man of the Yang family. The five major flood officials are Yang Meng's uncles and brothers, fifty sentry officials, half of them are the old swordsmen in the Yang family's Wuzhuang and Yiliang Manor, and the remaining half are the talents selected among the novices. Most of the five hundred team leaders are also old swordsmen. Yang Meng can easily hold these five thousand people and will not betray them at all.

After arranging the positions of each flood officer, General Yang Meng chose cavalry and handed the standard of artillery to Wei Tuozi.

"Selected soldiers!"

At the command of Yang Meng, the two flood officials in charge of artillery and cavalry began to choose their sentry officers.

"San Master! Are you biased? Look at the two of them, one is 1,000 subordinates, and there are horses and cannons. The three of us only have 1,000 people, and we still have to be mixed with more than 300 new students. Is it so popular for them to ride horses and play cannons?"

Two flood officials rode and cannon to select people. The three flood officials who looked at him made a statement. Not only did they have enough people, but they still chose the remaining ones. This is unfair!

"Well! I'm biased! But this time I'm just a rough choice. How many people can I bring in the future? Whether I can bring in the crowd depends on your own ability. I have great skills! I have people here. I don't have the ability! I can stay wherever I get cool.

I will give you my hands, so I will lead my troops. Whoever can fight will be a talent. If you lead the troops well, I will be rewarded! I will train my soldiers into cowardly and I can't spare you!

If you are not upset, you will spread your anger to me in training. You dare to make trouble in the barracks. My decapitated knife does not recognize your relatives and distantness!"

These five major flood officials are all their uncles and brothers, and Wei Tuozi was extremely afraid of them. In order to help Wei Tuozi lead the soldiers and generals, Yang Meng also hit them.

After the cavalry and artillery selection was completed, it was already noon. Yang Meng did not order the new army to start dinner, but ordered the continued selection of soldiers. He and a group of generals from the epidemic prevention battalion were also standing tall under Lieyue.

After the election, the flood officials took over Wei Tuozi's mission and began to name one by one. Each person, a musket, and the reward of five taels of silver were all given by Yang Meng himself. The new Thousand Knife Hands did not have this benefit, so they could only watch them enviously.

More than thirty cannons were the highlight. Yang Meng also spoke up with the people in the firefighting fire to the red cloth artillery.

"Brothers of Cannon, these cannons are expensive, hundreds of kilograms of cannons, 1,500 taels of silver per, so be careful when using them!

Artillery is a powerful weapon for war, and your artillery is also the most elite. Practice your skills well. Proficient skills are your means to repay me. If you do it well, you will get rewarded. If you don’t do it well, get out of here!”

The artillery worth a thousand gold aroused the interest of the soldiers, and with the generous salary, Yang Meng's words suddenly came to the hearts of these people.

After the artillery was placed, it was the horses' turn to walk down one after another. In the middle of the afternoon, the entire new army was completed.

Looking at the new army marching in a mess under the scolding of their respective generals, Yang Meng frowned slightly and slowly stretched out. His requirements were high. It was good that these people could do this without serious queue training.

Wei Tuozi's eyes did not leave his third master from the moment Yang Meng entered the camp, and he frowned. However, the third master's first time today, looking at the messy new army, Wei Tuozi was also gritting his teeth secretly.

Looking at the somewhat messy new army, Yang Meng felt more hope than dissatisfaction. Although the new army was much worse than he expected, it was countless times stronger than the green camp in Yunnan.

"Okay! I have spent countless money to build your new army! I have spent countless efforts! Today, the epidemic prevention camp has officially entered the army!

Win the fight! Few die! You must be engraved in your heart!

Kill all the enemies in front of you! You must engrave them in my bones!

Remember! You are not ordinary people, but the Yang family army, the serious soldiers, the soldiers who eat Yang family’s food and salary. You have only one purpose, that is: kill people!"

After saying this, Yang Meng waved his hand and asked Wei Tuozi to go to the high platform. His task was completed, and it will be up to Wei Tuozi next.

"I will write down all the words of the Third Master. Haven't you taught you to read? Later, gentlemen will hand over the words of the Third Master to you. I will listen to them all. If I can't remember these words, there will be no seats for you in the epidemic prevention camp.

The third master is kind and righteous, he doesn’t want to say some things, and he doesn’t want to do some things, but I, Wei Tuozi, want to do them for the third master. Let me listen to them all!

Those who are disloyal to the Yang family will kill the whole family!

Those who do not obey orders will be killed!

Those who leak military aircraft, kill!

Those who are not good at training will kill!

Those who roar and make trouble in the military camp, kill!

Those who disrespect their superiors will be killed!

Those who are lazy in military discipline will be killed!

Those who are privately held, kill them!

Annihilate, silver, plunder, kill!

Those who destroy military weapons privately, kill them!

Those who leave their posts without permission will be killed!

Those who are afraid of fighting and are afraid of fighting, kill!

The escapee at the battle, kill!

All of these are in my mind. Our military rules are simple and the punishment is even simpler. If you violate the military rules, there is no punishment, but you only have this broken knife!"

The military rules for Thirteen Killing were decided by Yang Meng arranged for Wei Wu. These things were read out on the spot by Wei Tuozi. Yang Meng's strategy of governing the army was simple, and he did things according to the rules. If he violated the rules, he would have to die.

His own army must not be like the Green Camp, wherever he goes, so Yang Meng directly changed the punishment for violating military rules to kill him if he touched him! (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
