Chapter 279 Competition

At the beginning of the new year, the ice and snow have not melted yet. Outside Wucheng, Beizhou, dozens of men were practicing in a manor. Everyone had a red belt tied with their right arm and a musket in their hands. Under the supervision of the instructors, they loaded the ammunition.

The use of muskets is of particular importance, and a complete shooting has a set of strictly specified action procedures. Now, the instructors are going to teach these heroes what is the correct step.

The heroes are like children who are just beginning to learn how to walk, and they are clumsy when operating muskets. They either have wrong steps or become nervous and don’t even distinguish left and right. When operating firearms, the left and right hands are strictly divided.

Of course, the exception of left-handed people is to do the opposite.

But everyone is adult, but he is as clumsy as a child. Even though the coaches are not surprised, they are so anxious that they become rough when they speak, and they almost yell in the ears of the students: "Do you have any brains?"

A hero who has always been avenging his grudges was scolded like a teacher who was scolded by a child. He should have swung his fists long ago, but now he is all sad, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and repeating the "standard" movements.

On the side, the burly Gao Shida looked at the scene and his face was not good-looking. A short-haired man next to him shook his head and patted his shoulder: "Old Gao, the person you chose is brave, and his mind seems to be not very good. Why don't you choose a few smart ones?"

"Oh, don't mention it. People with good brains want to rely on Yongji Canal to make money, so they are not willing to go to Liaodong." Gao Shida complained, looking at his clumsy subordinates, extremely helpless.

The short-haired man hummed: "I don't care. If you have time, you can urge me more. If this continues, you won't keep up with the progress. Lao Gao, in more than a month, the port will be opened in Yanjin. At that time, your people will not learn to use muskets. Could it be that they should use arrows to shoot beasts?"

"I know, I know! These bastards, I will be here with a whip tomorrow!"

Gao Shida cursed. The people he chose were skilled in bowing and horses, but when he got the musket, he was not aware of them. If he hadn't really chosen anything else, he really wanted these birds to go back to his hometown to recruit people, rather than embarrassing them here.

The short-haired man sighed. His surname was Lu and his name was Youfu. His short hair that he had deliberately left showed his identity: Hair Bing.

As an armed employee of Beiyang Trading Company, Lu Youfu is now training members of various pioneering groups (immigrant groups) in Beizhou, and teaches these people how to use muskets with his subordinates.

The students brought by Gao Shida, the master, are almost the same as those brought by other masters. They are all idiots. One or two stupid people can be used. It is difficult to learn to use muskets and spend a month.

After the two talked for a while, Lu Youfu turned the topic to Liaodong: "I'll remind you first. The company has very strict requirements for performance. When you go there, don't just hunt, you have to be diligent. Don't find that there is not enough fur by the end of the year. Who should I find that I'm going to make up for it?"

"That ghost place is so cold that it's not good in winter. Don't think hunting in winter is fun. You have to take advantage of the good weather and prepare the quota fur as soon as possible, settle the account, and then get the fur, which is your input."

"Don't think that money is resistant to spending money. You have to spend the winter in Liaodong so that you don't have to go back and forth. It's cold and there are dozens of men who are staying in the city to pass the time and don't spend money to entertain you. How do you let them live?"

"You are the boss and you have to take everyone to live a good life. Otherwise, in winter, other teams will spend time in the city, and your people will eat cakes and drink boiled water. How can you lead the team?"

"The company has so many fur hunting teams, and the competition is quite good. You have to work harder..."

Lu Youfu was talking, and Gao Shida nodded while listening, which means that he and Lu Youfu had a friendship, and the other party mentioned this.

Gao Shida is a native of Jizhou (county) and a raider who is in the world. He once started a team and became the powerful man who cuts the path.

After the Yongji Canal was opened, Gao Shida felt that the opportunity to make a fortune was coming and planned to intercept passing ships. This was much more income than robbing small caravans. However, the official army was closely linked to the Yongji Canal, which was difficult to do.

In addition, there are many "bodyguards" in the fleet on the canal, and they are all born outlaws. They are no worse than him in their lives, and they dare to take action, so the risk of robbery is getting greater and greater.

Seeing that this business was impossible, Gao Shida could not support his heroes, so he wanted to find a backer.

There is a big lake in Beizhou called Gaojipo, and there is Gao Bida, a famous "Gao Manor" who is far and wide. Gao Shida felt that he and the other party might be relatives, so he took his men to surrender.

See the opportunity and take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the magpie's nest. Based on the high chicken pole, recruit people and hoard weapons. When the situation changes, take advantage of the situation.

As a result, after staying in Gaojipo for a while, Gao Shida found that the owner of Gao's manor was very good. All his subordinates were talents, and it seemed difficult to shake them. However, his subordinates might be "dig" by the other party.

Now Gao Shida couldn't sit still. The team he had finally joined up was to do something big with this, so how could he let others snatch it?

It happened that the court recaptured Liaodong and encouraged the people to "go to Liaodong". The owner of Gaozhuang proposed to send people to Liaodong to make a breakthrough. Gao Shida took the opportunity to ask for a lesson, so he contacted the shopkeeper of "Beiyang" based on the other party's recommendation.

In the name of organizing young and strong men to "enter Liaodong", Gao Shida went to the "Beiyang" semicolon in Wucheng, Beizhou to do various registrations, and then asked his subordinates to receive "training". One of the contents of "training" was actually learning how to use muskets as rumored.

The leaders of the team who teaches muskets are Lu Youfu.

Lu Youfu was also from Jizhou. He was also a hero back then. He met Gao Shida. Later, he worked as a "hair soldier" for the "Beiyang". Everyone thought that this fool must have died somewhere overseas, but unexpectedly he became famous.

Gao Shida asked about many things with his fellow villagers and felt that he had a chance to go to Liaodong, but he had no capital and could only cut people. He was not good at doing business and was not happy to open up land. Therefore, his team became the "signed" fur hunting team of "Bei Sheep", and went to Liaodong to specialize in fur.

I heard that there are many beasts in the ghostly places in Liaodong and there are many human-eating Martial tribes, so the imperial court allowed people who opened up wasteland in Liaodong to hold muskets. Gao Shida felt that he had to go to Liaodong for this just to do.

He thought it through clearly that when he arrived in Liaodong, he had to expand his team and buy Duoduo's muskets, and when the situation changed, he would rebel... and cause trouble.

In recent years, the imperial court has been building a lot of construction year after year, and the grain prices are outrageously low. Many farmers cannot survive. They rented the land to a trading company and went to "work" to support their families. Gao Shida felt that this was a sign of chaos in the world, so he started to think about it.

He wanted to take advantage of the "entering in Liaodong" to stock up on more muskets. When the world is in chaos, he would raise the flag and make a move and become a master.

"Would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister?" Gao Shida thought this was a good thing. Why did someone be born with wealth and wealth? He Gao Shida had to live his family for a lifetime?

At this moment, Gao Shida, who was imagining his future prosperity, was awakened by Lu Youfu: "Old Gao, what are you thinking so enchanting? Your subordinate is so angry, don't care?"
