It's not that Li Tianyang doesn't want to develop hot weapons, but now he doesn't even dare to buy iron weapons on a large scale, let alone controlled weapons like firearms. He also wanted to find some blacksmith masters and quietly develop them in secret, but after seeing his father's experience, he resolutely decided to postpone the development of thermal weapons.

When Li De recruited two blacksmiths who were said to be able to make cannons from among the homeless people, he was as happy as something. Offering these two blacksmiths as treasures, I hope they can help their fleet build a few suitable cannons. In the past ten years, the masters did not deceive people, and really helped Li De and them to make several cannons. It is said that with such a sharp weapon, Li De and the others should be happy, but who knew that when the first time the cannon was tested, there was a bombing, and the two sailors who lit the cannon at that time were almost sent to the west.

In the end, although the two sailors did not die, they also lay on the hospital bed for half a year before they could go to the ground, and now, as long as the two of them heard the sound of cannons, they would reflexively find a cover to hide, and the whole person was useless. The reason for this is not because the two masters are halfway monks, and when they first learned to make artillery, they were only working on the side, and they couldn't get in touch with the real artillery-making technology at all.

Even in the past ten years, with the help of Li De, they wasted tons of iron tools and finally mastered some cannon-making techniques. They are only a few sure of making a superficial tiger squat cannon, like a Fran cannon, a general cannon or something, that is not to even think about it. In the end, Li De, who was desperate, gave up his plan to cast cannons, and instead made deals with foreigners in Macao and bought cast cannons from them, which solved the situation of no cannons.

Therefore, Li Tianyang decided that when he did not have enough capital, he could not waste resources and put limited resources into such a bottomless pit.

Of course, although Li Tianyang will not consider equipping himself with muskets, which is an inevitable weapon for future development, it does not mean that their team cannot understand and learn about this knowledge. Just like when he didn't even have a cannon, he hired a gunnery to teach everyone how to use a cannon. At the same time, according to the oral description of this master, a book about artillery knowledge was summarized and taught to every teenager who joined their team later.

It would be impossible to equip all of them with muskets, but it would be okay to find a way to get a few suitable muskets from their father's team. Fire guns, bird guns, three-eyed guns, all kinds of miscellaneous firearms were collected by Li Tianyang, and they also found a veteran with skilled gun skills to teach everyone how to use these guys.

And this veteran was Chen Shuli, who was disliked by Gan Dabiao and his party at the beginning, thinking that he was a lazy and scoundrel. At the beginning, Chen Shuli always liked to get drunk alone, and after being drunk by the sea, there was no one in the whole village who liked to be close to him, except for Li Tianyang. Although Li Tianyang approached him at the beginning, he was completely sympathetic to him, and never thought of needing his return. But he still responded to the old saying, good deeds are rewarded, and a thought of kindness brought him a veteran with superb marksmanship.

Chen Shuli is a member of the Li nationality, and when it comes to the Li nationality, it is a living history of resistance in this Qiongzhou capital. From the beginning of the original Li leader Fu Nan Snake raised the banner of rebellion and rose up, the Li people opened the curtain of tireless resistance to the Ming Dynasty. For more than 100 years, there have been no less than 100 uprisings of the Li people, large and small, although they were finally suppressed by the Ming Dynasty army, but they never knew what defeat was, and they still disregarded their own bodies, picked up the sickle again and again, and met the army armed to the teeth shirtless.

In the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, Chen Shuli was just thirty at the time, and Ma Ya, the leader of their stable Li tribe, could not bear the oppression of the corrupt officials and cool officials at that time, and still followed the ancestors and slashed the sickle in his hand to the head of the county official. As a member of the Anding Li tribe at that time, he followed the leader's left and right with great ambition, fighting everywhere for him, shedding blood for his life. But an ethnic minority, where is the opponent of a great dynasty, Chen Shuli's team has not been jumping for a few years, and it was strongly suppressed by the army transferred by the Ming Dynasty.

When Chen Shuli dragged his disabled sick leg from the battlefield and ran back to his hometown, he could no longer see his relatives. The old, weak, women and children in the entire village were regarded as military merits by the unscrupulous Ming army and wiped out. Pity his elderly grandfather and grandmother, his kind parents, his wife, and his young children, who were thus piled up with white bones, abandoned on the old land of their village.

Chen Shuli, who was devastated, was in a slump from then on, wandering around, and finally settled down in Tanmen. That's why Tan Men has such a waste who is addicted to alcohol and doesn't like to communicate with people.

People say that time is the best medicine, and after more than ten years, no matter how big the hatred and sorrow are, there will always be a day when it will be put down. In addition, Li Tianyang talked and communicated with him from time to time, watching Li Tianyang take a group of teenagers to exercise and train the team in style, and finally one day, Chen Shuli opened his mouth to talk to him. Maybe it was Li Tianyang's care of Chen Shuli that played a role in the past, or maybe it was because after he wanted to open it, Chen Shuli had nothing to do and wanted to find something to do, in short, in the end, Chen Shuli became the spearmanship teacher in Li Tianyang's team.

Years of military career have made Chen Shuli no stranger to weapons such as knives and guns, and compared to a group of raw melons and eggs that have never even seen the battlefield, Chen Shuli obviously has more right to speak. Although Chen Shuli was best at muskets back then, he was no stranger to other weapons, especially the hunting bows that the Li people were good at using, and they were not under his marksmanship! With the guidance of Chen Shuli, a veteran who has fought on the battlefield for many years, Li Tianyang's training movements have also changed.

Now the basic movements of the sword and shield in their morning training, in fact, most of them have followed Chen Shuli's teachings, and basically even Li Tianyang and their combat aspects have a lot to do with Chen Shuli. It's just that at the beginning on the battlefield, Chen Shuli suffered a very serious external injury, coupled with so many years of self-destruction, and now he is half disabled, and he can only teach everyone verbally.

"Good! Collect the troops! Next, three people will fight each other, and everyone will train freely! Guan Juxiong looked at the group of teenagers with muscles flying underneath, thinking of the thoughts that Li Tianyang revealed last night, he was a little emotional, and he didn't know how many of these familiar faces under this group would disappear in front of everyone a few years later!
