6 A sharp sword hanging over the head

(Continue to ask for favorites and subscription support, thank you!! ）

Many times, some things are just thought of by people, and often as long as they are thought of, some things are very simple and thorough.

Tie Pingliang immediately nodded and said, "The big boss really has ideas, I have never thought of this kind of thing before.

However, although the idea is good, the subordinates still need to actually test it, after all, if the front end of the bird gun wants to press a short sword steadily, it needs to make a lot of changes.

The subordinates will do it as soon as they go back, and strive to be able to transform one or two of them tomorrow and give them to the brothers of the firecrackers to try. ”

Li Zixiao nodded and asked Tie Pingliang to immediately start arranging people to do this.

But don't let him delay the transformation of the old bird gun and the creation of a new bird gun, this kind of thing can be done by ordinary craftsmen, Tie Pingliang immediately nodded and agreed.

After Li Zixiao sent Tie Pingliang away, he immediately asked someone to call a carpenter with good skills and handed him the bird gun he was carrying.

Then he explained to the carpenter, who nodded again and again, took the bird and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, big boss."

This kind of thing can definitely be done by the small ones, we now also have ready-made good wood purchased from Xuzhou, it is just right to do this, if you don't paint it, it doesn't take much effort, and the small ones will go back to do it. ”

I have to say that these craftsmen of White Snake Village especially cherish the opportunity for them to work in White Snake Village, and they are very dedicated and diligent.

No, the carpenter who got Li Zixiao's instructions understood and started working on it as soon as he went back.

Early the next morning, a brand-new bird gun with a changed butt was handed over to Li Zixiao.

Two days later, a newly built short sword specially equipped with bird guns on the side of the iron shop was also created by them and sent to Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao was immediately full of interest, and with these two things, he came to the special training venue for firecrackers.

He summoned all the firecrackers and asked the guards to help him give him the newly modified bird, which reloaded the ammunition, lit the arquebus, and snapped it into the dragon's head.

Li Zixiao firmly put the butt of the gun against his shoulder and aimed at a wooden target.

Immediately, he directly pulled the trigger, the dragon head fell, and after a gunshot, he saw a wooden target forty paces away, and a bullet hole immediately appeared.

"The big boss has good marksmanship, and he hits really accurately!" A group of subordinates around him immediately patted Li Zixiao on the back.

"This butt is very well made."

Li Zixiao shot in person, felt the new butt made by the carpenter, and found that it was much more comfortable and convenient to shoot, so he nodded with satisfaction and praised.

However, Li Zixiao was not very satisfied with the bayonet that the blacksmith went back to build that could be mounted on the barrel at the front end of the bird's gun.

Because the blacksmiths' idea was too simple, they just added an iron rod about the thickness of the barrel to the back of a short knife, and inserted it directly into the barrel when they used it.

However, the disadvantage of this is that the bird gun can no longer be reloaded and fired, and the other is too loose to fall off, and it is difficult to pull it out if it is too tightly plugged.

This kind of bayonet is impossible to be practical, and Li Zixiao is naturally very dissatisfied.

So he asked the blacksmith to take it back and rethink it, requiring that it should be firmly loaded, but it should not affect the loading and firing of the musket, and it should not affect the aiming.

Li Zixiao didn't bother to take care of this kind of thing, so he let the blacksmiths figure it out by themselves, at this time he had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible to do everything himself.

In that case, he would have to die of exhaustion, he didn't want to die like Zhuge Liang in history.

To be the boss, you must have a way to be the boss, you must know how to delegate power, he only needs to grasp the overall direction, and let his subordinates do the work themselves.

At this time, Li Zixiao took out a small notebook of his, looked at some of the matters that he had recorded on it and needed to be dealt with immediately, and then found Old Master Wei to discuss new things.

"Old Master, how is the cotton armor made for the brothers now?"

"We still don't have enough manpower, we need a lot of women to do it together, although we have recruited 300 people from the outcast women, but it is still not enough.

Now they can make about 30 pieces of cotton armor a day, not including the shoes, hanging bags, etc. that we ask them to make. ”

As soon as Old Master Wei heard Li Zixiao's words, he immediately showed a bitter face, and said to Li Zixiao in embarrassment.

After Li Zixiao heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "No, it's too slow, at this rate, in a month, I can't save a thousand sets of cotton armor, which is not enough at all."

At present, we have copied back a large number of cotton cloth and cotton from the homes of those big landlords, and it is useless to keep so many good things, so we will make a cotton armor for the brothers.

Our days of peace will not be long, and after this time, we will not have the opportunity to prepare these things for the brothers.

These cotton armors are on the battlefield, they are all used to save the lives of brothers, and they must be manufactured at any cost.

There are still many displaced people outside, and we continue to recruit women to make cotton armor and shoes for us.

It's really not good, the women of the surrounding villages can also take advantage of it, don't be afraid to spend money and food, let's grab those to spend.

If you can't pull out this matter, arrange for someone else to do it, the faster the better, I don't care what method you use in a month, I must see three thousand sets of cotton armor, no less. ”

Li Zixiao's command was unquestionable, and Old Master Wei sighed and agreed.

However, the old master was a little reluctant in his heart, although they are still relatively sufficient in food, but the old master, who has lived a hard life, still wants to save it.

He is now in charge of the White Dragon Army's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice.

Now Li Zixiao's stall is getting bigger and bigger, and even if the old master has a lot of silver and grain in his hand, he is still careful in his calculations.

But since Li Zixiao was resolute, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to agree.

Li Zixiao was as busy as an axle, using all the power that could be used in the White Snake Village, and was busy with various affairs.

Almost every day, he has to be busy until late at night, before he can return to the residence to rest, every day after he returns to the room, he simply washes up, and falls asleep, and he has no energy to take care of the mood of Lin Yuluo, who is responsible for serving him in the room.

Li Zixiao was very anxious, he learned from the messages that Wei Hong and Zhang Ergouzi kept sending him in Kaifeng, and learned that Yin Tianxing, the prefect of Kaifeng, was preparing for the second encirclement and suppression of them.

It is estimated that in a month at most, the government's encirclement and suppression army will arrive, and the scale of the official army this time must be much larger than the first time.

At this time, Li Zixiao's subordinates seemed to have a lot, and they had enough money and food in their hands, but Li Zixiao still clearly recognized the shortcomings of their White Dragon Army.

That is, their army has been formed for too short a time, their foundation is unstable, the number of veterans is small, and the number of recruits is large, so in fact, the combat power of their White Dragon Army has been weakened.

Otherwise, Li Zixiao would not be able to train recruits day and night now, he is really urgent.

Smashing the second encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers is too important for Li Zixiao's plan, and once it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Therefore, in order to win the next battle, he will do everything to use the capital in his hand at this time to expand the advantage in his hand.

The second encirclement and suppression that the officers and soldiers will soon come will be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of Li Zixiao and the White Dragon Army, which will soon fall, and if he wants to survive, Li Zixiao can only prepare for war with all his might.

………………………………………………………………………

Lin Yuluo had to wait until Li Zixiao came back every night, and waited for Li Zixiao to finish washing before he could go back to the room to rest.

Seeing Li Zixiao ignore himself, in addition to self-pity, he is really helpless.

When she saw Li Zixiao lying on the bed, she quickly snored loudly, and Lin Yuluo cautiously exited Li Zixiao's bedroom.

He closed the door with his backhand, stood at the door and was stunned for a while, and then slowly walked back to his bedroom.

Lin Yuluo returned to his room and sat by the oil lamp, but he didn't feel sleepy, and looked at the jumping flames in a daze.

Although Li Zixiao doesn't pay much attention to her on weekdays, Lin Yuluo still feels that Li Zixiao still relies on her.

This can be seen from the fact that Li Zixiao comes back every night to eat her cooking and let her wait to sleep.

And Lin Yuluo also felt that Li Zixiao's vigilance against her was getting weaker and weaker, and other people in the cottage were also very polite to her, because she was Li Zixiao's only maid.

This makes Lin Yuluo's life in the cottage not bad, she has something to do every day, and her life is very fulfilling.

Recently, she knew that Li Zixiao was busy recruiting women and making cotton armor for her soldiers, so she mustered up the courage to ask Li Zixiao to help as well yesterday.

After Li Zixiao glanced at her, he still nodded and agreed, and asked her to be responsible for assisting Old Master Wei in managing those women, after all, Lin Yuluo's identity as a woman was more suitable for dealing with that group of women.

For Li Zixiao to bring a maid by his side, like the cottage, other people don't feel anything, but they feel that Li Zixiao is a boss who can follow.

If you don't believe it, look at the other cottage leaders, there are a few three or five hundred pole leaders under their hands, which one doesn't harm a bunch of girls!

Compared with those bandit leaders, Li Zixiao has a maid by his side, which is nothing at all.

Lin Yuluo has not forgotten the fact that Li Zixiao is her enemy, but she can't avenge her family.

She is a weak woman who wants to survive in troubled times, what else can she do except rely on a man like Li Zixiao?

What if Li Zixiao was killed, in addition to being buried with her in the end, her relatives couldn't survive.

Because after such a long period of contact, she found that Li Zixiao was indeed not a wicked person who killed people without blinking.

Although he looked very majestic in front of people, when he returned to his residence, he seemed very easy-going, without a domineering attitude, but more often, he seemed more like a gentleman.

Girls have dreams, and although they can't do their own marriage, it doesn't mean that they don't have dreams.

Since he became sensible, Lin Yuluo began to secretly dream that one day he could marry a personable gentleman who knew how to be considerate of her and take care of her.

But that day, when their Lin Jiabao was broken by Li Zixiao's army, she felt that her dream had been completely shattered.

But for some reason, after serving Li Zixiao for a while, her heart began to gradually recall her original dream.

Lin Yuluo had to admit that a man like Li Zixiao could be said to be very lethal to a girl.

Li Zixiao is tall and majestic, not to mention, his appearance is also angular, which makes him look very heroic.

In addition to these, Li Zixiao is also a decisive and capable man, who is stunned to run his White Dragon Army to such a scale in such a short period of time, and is so respected by his subordinates.

Lin Yuluo got up on the night when Li Zixiao took her from the first night, she knew that she could only rely on this man in the future, and now she seems to be gradually falling in love with this man in her heart.

However, Lin Yuluo didn't know if Li Zixiao liked her or not, but in any case, it was impossible for Li Zixiao to marry her.

Because of her identity, she doesn't have that fate, and even if Li Zixiao agrees to marry her, the generals under him will never agree to her being the mother of these people.

If Li Zixiao really marries a wife one day, then even if she stays, she can only be a concubine, and she may even be just a maid.

For this understanding, Lin Yuluo still thinks that she will not be wrong, but even so, she has no intention of leaving Li Zixiao.

Because Lin Yuluo always felt that only by staying by Li Zixiao's side could she feel safe, his solid arms and the smell of men on his body all made her intoxicated.

The oil lamp snapped a few times, but Lin Yuluo still looked at the oil lamp stupidly, thinking about these things in his heart, as if in a dream.

The oil lamp crackled softly, then went out immediately.

Lin Yuluo's body shook suddenly, his forehead slipped from the hand holding his cheeks, planted it suddenly, and opened his eyes.

Lin Yuluo, who came back to her senses, sighed, went back to her bed and went to sleep, she still has a lot of things to do tomorrow, and she is also happy to share some pressure for Li Zixiao.

Li Zixiao's forces swelled dramatically at this time, in addition to the base camp of White Snake Village, he also rebuilt White Tiger Village dozens of miles away, plus the Zhouzhuang stronghold that they built into a fort.

At the same time, the number of Li Zixiao's subordinates also swelled sharply to more than 5,000 people, but most of them were new soldiers, and there were no more than 1,000 veterans who had really seen blood.

In order to keep the combat power of those veterans from being affected by the addition of new recruits, Li Zixiao did not expand these recruits into the original four veteran teams.

Instead, a new battalion was set up for each team, and the recruits of this new battalion were trained with each team.

The recruits in these new barracks will also be the alternate soldiers of each team in the future, so that they can familiarize themselves with the fighting style of each team.

The fierceness of Zhou Dazhu's first team, the delicacy of Wei Hong's second team, the calmness of Liu Chongsan's team, and the good defense of Luo Chao's fourth team, and the courage of the scout team.
