A black double-breasted arrow-sleeved short top, black trousers underneath, leather boots on her feet, a flat-top round military cap on her head, a yellow cowhide belt on her waist, a short sheathed knife on the right, a sheep-skin ammunition bag on the left, and a long musket with a side-sided back behind her.

The expression was firm, the eyes were calm, and the pine-like. Sixty musketeers with similar heights and dignified appearances were lined up in three neat rows, standing motionlessly in the small square in front of the gate of the town center, like sixty sculptures.

Li Xu stood on the steps on the first floor of the town center, looking at the solemn and fully armed small army in front of him, and was unable to tell anyone about the excitement. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he only shouted: "The soldiers are mighty!"

"The lord is mighty! The lord is mighty! The lord is mighty!"

Sixty musketeers responded in unison, and the sound shook the sky. Li Xu felt a sense of blood rushing, and he wanted to let out a long whistle to relieve the excitement in his heart.

Li Xu walked to the first row of left-handed musketeers and signaled him to hand over the musket on his back.

After getting the musket, Li Xu carefully checked it and breathed a sigh of relief, because this musket is almost the same as the musket given to him by the system. Except for the one he did not have was the fine workmanship of his own, the others were almost exactly the same, and they were all real flintlock rifles.

This made his heart that had been hanging all the time suddenly relieved.

Although I had been hoping that the system would be upgraded to the colonial era as soon as possible and then summoned musketeers, I was always worried about what to do if the musketeers equipped with musketeers were more primitive.

Although the convex gun is also a musket, its lethality and practicality are completely incomparable to that of the flintlock gun.

Although the flintlock rifle is just an old antique that is a little stronger than a fire stick in Li Xu's eyes, it is still possible to use it.

When I saw the real thing, I finally didn't have to worry anymore.

Although there is no bayonet, at least there is a short knife as a weapon for tight melee combat. After the system is upgraded again, the arsenal should be able to produce muskets with bayonets.

The road has to be walked step by step, and the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time.

With these sixty musketeers, I finally have a certain ability to protect myself. Anyone who wants to covet my farm must let him know what social beatings are.

Of course, the soldiers had to live in the military camp, but the construction of the military camp has not started yet, so these sixty people can only live in newly built houses for the time being.

Li Xu temporarily divided the 60 people into three teams, each team assigned a captain to be responsible for the defense warning of the road ahead of Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi itself and the back mountain.

Several mail towers have been built on the back mountain, and the scope of surveillance has increased a lot. In addition to the garrison of twenty musketeers, I believe no one can easily slip through the back mountain.

With these sixty musketeers, Li Xu could adjust the personnel of the originally set up patrol team to production. Whether it is land reclamation and land harvesting or logging, the daily workload will be greatly increased.

The captains of the three musket teams were randomly assigned by Li Xu. After receiving the order, they took their own team to their respective mission areas.

After the arrangements were made, Li Xu returned to the study and drew all the drawings of the barracks, stables, arsenals and Taoist temples according to the drawings given by the system.

Then he asked his secretary Xiao Ailin to call Li Zhiyuan and several in charge, and gave them the drawings, asking them to find suitable land to prepare materials and start building.

Other civil buildings can be temporarily slowed down.

According to Li Xu's idea, the outside of the village was to be built by the military camp, but the distance should not be too far. It is best to build two to protect the village in a corner.

The size of the military camp does not need to be too large, and it is enough to be able to station one thousand people. After all, no matter how big it is, there is no suitable land.

Although there is a lot of wasteland near the Zhuangzi, there is not much flat land that can be used to build houses.

The stables and arsenal are built near two military camps, one for convenience and the other for safety.

Several managers accepted the order in unison, while Li Xu asked if there were any other sufferings to be solved.

Li Zhiyuan proposed that because the new construction task is too urgent, the project is large, and the existing manpower is insufficient, he hopes to increase manpower.

Li Xu thought about it and agreed.

He promised to add at least thirty more people to them within two days.

Although the trees in the back mountain are not very valuable in individual amounts, they are better than the number. Li Xu’s current idea is to use the trees cut down from the back mountain to sell them to the system for money, then use the money to buy grain, and then use the grain to summon more farmers.

With more farmers, the speed of cutting down trees will be much faster.

Then save some money, summon some soldiers, and make up for all the troops.

In this way, you will be able to deal with various situations in the future.

After these managers left, Li Xu began to lie on the table and write some ideas about military organization.

Now the system is in the colonial era, with a population limit of 5,000 people.

Li Xu planned to temporarily set the number of troops to 1,000. According to his vision, the troops should be at least three types of infantry, cavalry and artillery, plus a certain number of auxiliary soldiers.

Archers, pikemen and musketeers are all infantry; there are only light cavalry among the cavalry; and there are only grenadiers for the artillery.

As the name suggests, a soldier throws out small bombs that can then explode to kill enemies or destroy buildings. Those who can serve as grenades are tall, burly, strong, and brave men who can throw far away.

At the beginning, grenadiers did belong to the sequence of artillery and were also a kind of light artillery.

However, with the progress of society and the progress of military technology and equipment, grenadiers were included in the infantry sequence and gradually became the title of some elite troops.

According to Li Xu's vision, the number of troops of this thousand people, whether it is due to current needs or summoning costs, is the majority of infantry, followed by cavalry and artillery.

The infantry occupied the quota of 500 people and was divided into two musketeers brigades, each with one hundred and fifty people; the archers set up an archer team, a total of one hundred people; the pikes are also one hundred people, and a pikes brigade is set up.

Infantry is the main force in combat, whether it is attack or defense, infantry is the absolute main force.

Then the cavalry only set up one light cavalry brigade, with a total of two hundred people, which are divided into two cavalry squadrons. Each squadron is divided into two cavalry squadrons.

The cavalry team is organized with fifty people and is the most basic combat unit in the cavalry brigade.

The cavalry is responsible for daily patrols, commands, cover the main flanks, harassment and pursuit tasks.

Then there is a squadron of 100 people, divided into two squads according to fifty people and one squad, mainly responsible for attacking the tough situation and will not be easily touched.

In addition to the above eight hundred soldiers, Li Xu also planned to select 200 people from the peasants as auxiliary soldiers.

Although the auxiliary soldiers do not participate in direct combat, they are also very important. They are responsible for the army's logistics support in daily life, and are responsible for food and grass transportation, equipment storage and repair, treatment of wounded people, battlefield cleaning and other tasks during wartime. They are also very important units.

Li Xu straightened up, looked at the army he planned on paper, breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction, stretched his waist and leaned on the back of the chair.

Although there are only sixty soldiers at present, he seemed to have seen thousands of elite soldiers lined up in front of him and straightened their chests waiting for inspection.

It really makes people yearn for thinking about it.
