Wenshan Port is different from Champa Port, Wenshan Port is a city with a relatively developed shipbuilding industry, because it was looted by Nanban a few years ago, Nanban's blockade of the city and cut off the water source method also successfully led to the death of many people in Wenshan Port because of hunger and thirst, resulting in a serious attrition of the city's population, so it has not resumed production until now. www.biquge.info Most of the shipbuilding workshops outside the city have been burned down, and the shipbuilding materials have basically been burned, and the shipbuilding workshops outside the city are basically in a state of abandonment.

Many of the fields outside the city have already been planted, and the Nanban plundered and slaughtered the people outside the city who did not have time to flee into the city, and the burning of the villages outside the city also caused a benefit, that is, the fields outside were ownerless, and anyone who wanted to cultivate them. As a result, a few displaced people from the nearby state capital, who had not been affected by the disaster, quickly dragged their families to this area, found their own pleasing plots and began planting. As far as we can see, the crops are growing well, and this year's famine should not be repeated.

But now there is still a huge Medeno fleet roaming the sea of Wenshan Harbor, this fleet is crisscrossed by ships with masts, and transport ships go back and forth between the fleet and the port from time to time, some of which are loaded with supplies and weapons, but more often they are loaded with all kinds of expensive commodities transported from Vostochny - this is a very funny situation, the Medeno and Vostochny are in a hot fight, and every day they use a large amount of silver to purchase goods from Vostochny Port, and transport a large amount of industrial raw materials to Vostochny Port, At the same time, they are training their troops and are always ready to attack the port of Vostok.

It didn't take long for Nguyen Minh Phuong to be sent to the barracks with the forbidden soldiers. This barracks is located in the west of Wenshan Port ten miles, and you can even see the Shili Pavilion of Wenshan Port in the distance, the whole barracks covers an extremely wide area, there are thousands of acres, and there are many tents neatly arranged in it, and a large number of troops who have already arrived live. The main tent in the camp is empty, and there is no handsome flag, it seems that the candidate for the commander has not yet been decided, Ruan Mingfang was thinking, and was pushed hard by the people behind him, and fell into a piece of mud. Before he could get up, a Medeno soldier stood there with a leather whip in his hand, and whipped at him. The whip was whipped hard and accurately, just hitting Ruan Mingfang's back, and with a "snap" accompanied by a scream, Ruan Mingfang jumped up suddenly, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the soldier pointing to the distance and saying in a stumbling Annan dialect, "You! Go! There! Command! ”

The current Ruan Mingfang is a phoenix that has lost its hair is not as good as a chicken, where has he suffered this kind of suffering when he used to live a pampered life, he can't help but be angry, and he is about to rush over. Suddenly, a person rushed out of the oblique stab, held him down, nodded at the soldier and said, "My lord, I'll take him over." The soldier didn't say much, turned his head to look at the others, and went to give orders again.

Before Ruan Mingfang came to his senses, he was half-pulled aside by the man, "Lord Ruan, why did you fall into such a field?" Don't be strong, people don't recognize your fame, and our fame is gone, let's live here honestly first, and make a comeback. ”

Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head to look, and realized that the person who pulled himself apart turned out to be the city guard Li Falcon when he was the lord of Zhanchenggang. Li Falcon is a military general, he was a scholar in his early years, and he also won the reputation of Xiucai, but later found that it was no fun to get out in the Annan court, so he simply put pen to paper and joined the army. Because he had read books, he climbed up quite quickly in the army, and the last time he sent the officials of Champa Port, he sent the boss a sum of money to the military department Shangshu, and then he was appointed as the city guard of Champa Port. As a result, as soon as he arrived at Champa Port, he was blasted out by Qian Longzhou, and later after Qian Longzhou led the troops away, he also wanted to make a good profit, who knew that the smuggling was too ruthless, and he was reported to the Criminal Department by his colleagues and arrested. The arrest warrant was still handled by Ruan Mingfang, but it was obvious that Li Falcon didn't know that Ruan Mingfang also had a part in this matter, and when he saw the city lord in trouble, he hurriedly came up to help.

"How did you get here?" Ruan Mingfang felt a loss in his heart, and couldn't help blurting out a question, "Weren't you arrested by the Criminal Department?" ”

"Yes, God knows which bastard reported me and arrested me back to Hue," Li Falcon scolded angrily, "Hue is not at all what it used to be now, the six Shangshu have basically fallen, and those who have not fallen have also lost their momentum, and even Lord Zuo Xiang is now empty." Originally, I was sentenced to exile in the Nanban territory, but later said that since I am a military general, it is better to be sentenced to be a soldier, so I was sent here. ”

"Hue is like this?" Ruan Mingfang's heart tightened, his uncle who was the secretary of the household department must have fallen, and hurriedly asked, "What about the secretary of the military department?" ”

"Alas......" Li Falcon lamented, "If Lord Shangshu of the Military Department was still here, how could I have ended up in such a field?" Now only the Ministry of Rites is still in power, and now the whole Hue has been appointed by the new emperor three or four times a day since the new emperor ascended the throne, and the entire Hue officialdom has been replaced. Now let's not talk about anything else, live well, this army is going to fight the Chinese, we know better than anyone that there is no match for the Chinese in these years, and we must not do this thing to death. ”

"Shall we run away then?" Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but look left and right, although this military camp was large, it was full of Marine Legionnaires from Maideno, holding a fine Yaning Fire Gun in their hands, or a Yaning Elite Bow. The Maidno soldier who had just smoked himself saw him looking left and right, and pointed with his right hand, which made Ruan Mingfang tremble, and he hurriedly didn't dare to look anymore, and followed Li Ying to the registration office step by step.

"Run?" Li Falcon smiled, "It's impossible, you must know that this place has long been managed by the Medeno people, and every morning and evening they have to be called, from the military camp to the forest, there are guards from the Medeno people everywhere, if you escape, you will be hanged if you are caught." As he spoke, Li Falcon pointed to a big tree not far away, there were more than a dozen people hanging from the tree, all with their heads crooked, already dead, and crows were pecking at the corpses. I said, let's not be like this," he whispered in Ruan Mingfang's ear.

Ruan Mingfang's face became very exciting, from disbelief to remorse, from remorse to a wry smile. It turned out that Li Falcon's idea was to mix in the army first, live well, and when the war with the Chinese started, he would find an opportunity to surrender to the Chinese.

"The Chinese kill like hemp and have sharp firearms, if they fight with them, won't they die immediately?" Ruan Mingfang's face was full of despair, "It's better to find a chance to escape." ”

"If you escape, you will die faster, it is better to surrender, you must know that now the new army is directly organized into a foreign army by the Chinese," Li Falcon said, interrupted by Ruan Mingfang, "Everyone can surrender, but I, Ruan Mingfang, cannot surrender, I wanted to put the new army to death from the beginning, and then surrender at this time, I am afraid that I will be stripped of the skin and grass to die." ”

"Let's talk about it later, let's live well now, if people die, there will really be nothing." Li said and brought him to the check-in desk.

There were many tables at the registration desk, and there were many Medeno people sitting behind the tables, all holding paper and pens in their hands to record the information of the recruits, and Ruan Mingfang only glanced at it and knew that these pencils and paper came from Dongfang Port, and no one except the Chinese could make such good paper and convenient pencils at the moment.

"Name!" "Nguyen Thi Ming Fang." Then Ruan Mingfang saw that the Medeno man wrote "Ran is a private house" on the paper, and he quickly corrected, "Ruan Mingfang." ”

The Medeno man gave him a blank look, "Can you write?" Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but nodded a little proudly, but immediately slapped the Medeno man standing up, "If you can write, you don't have to write yourself, but Lao Tzu has to write." ”

Ruan Mingfang knew that he had no power or power, and if he quarreled in front of the Maidno people, he would lose his life here, so he took a breath, took a pen and paper and wrote his name on it.

"What weapons will you use?" The Maidno man asked again, Ruan Mingfang was stunned for a moment, and shook his head unconsciously, "Then give you a firecracker, and put you in the third-step gunning camp." As he spoke, he scribbled a few strokes on the paper.

Li Falcon was secretly happy on the side, and whispered to Ruan Mingfang, "It's my battalion, just follow me." ”

When he arrived at the quartermaster, the quartermaster glanced at the slip that had been opened, looked at Ruan Mingfang suspiciously, and chose a firearm in the treasury and handed it to him.

Ruan Mingfang looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is a three-eyed gun...... "This is the elite Yaning fire gun?" He couldn't help but ask, this quartermaster was an Annanite, but he was not as arrogant as those Maidno people, and asked curiously, "How do you know about Yaning's firecracker?" ”

"I used to be from Champa Port, and I heard that I came here in exchange for Yaning Huoji." Ruan Mingfang didn't dare to say that he was the lord of Zhancheng Port, so he lied, turned his head to look at the registration office, and the group of forbidden soldiers scolded and walked to other places with the note, it seemed that they would not be assigned to a battalion with him, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. "That's it, brother, it's convenient to make a good payment, right?" Li Falcon on the side also made a gesture at the quartermaster.

The quartermaster smiled, took the heavy three-eyed gun back, and handed over a musket that was obviously finely made. The musket was obviously much smaller than the three-eyed gun, with a barrel two feet long, a butt one foot long, and a snake carved on the barrel. There is a fire wheel behind the barrel, and next to the fire wheel is a flint, and a hammer is on the side, which can hit the flint when it is raised, causing the spark to fall into the cauldron and ignite the propellant. "It's so much better! Thank you so much! ”

The quartermaster smiled, "This is a good gun, it can shoot at a target ten feet away." Ruan Mingfang put the gun up and looked at the muzzle, there was a strip inserted under the muzzle, but there was a lot of residue in the muzzle, and he curiously buckled it with his fingers, and it all fell down.

"Weapons are your first life!" The Medeno instructor was in the middle of the crowd, holding a musket in his hand. At this time, it was already the third day, and in these three days, Nguyen Minh Fang had begun to quietly adapt to this life as a big soldier, and under the care of Li Falcon, he became a musketeer of the musket team, and Li Falcon was the spearman of this musket team. "If you can't protect your weapons well, you can't kill the enemy, and if you can't kill the enemy, you can't protect yourself. Treat your weapons well, and they will save your life! ”

As he spoke, the instructor walked up to Ruan Ming and stretched out his hand to him. Ruan Mingfang hurriedly looked down, and then handed the musket over. "Ruan Mingfang, why are you looking down?"

"Report to the instructor! To make sure that there is no bullet in it, it is necessary to avoid accidentally causing a firing accident! "Nguyen Minh Fang was a little nervous, there was no such thing in the infantry drill code of the Medeno people. But to his surprise, the instructor happily patted him on the shoulder, turned around and shouted to everyone, "This is the best soldier, who knows how to protect himself and his comrades!" That's what we all need to learn. ”

Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but be happy for a while, but he was a perennial official, and he knew the world very well, and his face didn't show it at all. The instructor took the musket, checked the barrel, then looked at the light, was surprised again, and asked, "Who cleaned the barrel?" So clean? ”

Ruan Mingfang was stunned for a moment, "I cleaned it up, and I saw that there were too many residues, so I stabbed it with that iron bar." ”

"Very good!" The instructor praised again, "If you clean the chamber, you will be able to shoot safely, according to the code, the musket must be cleared every three times, what about yours?" As he spoke, he walked up to a musketeer and took his musket, and before he could look at it, he kicked the soldier to the ground, "Are you an idiot?" Actually loaded? And the barrel is blocked with gunpowder residue, you can give me a shot and see? I might be able to blow you up! So saying, he ordered the soldier to take his musket and shoot at a distance.

The soldier trembled and walked off with his musket in his hand and pulled the trigger on the target. With a "boom", the barrel of the gun exploded, and the flying debris flew in all directions, knocking the soldier to the ground, rolling on the ground and wailing covering the wounds caused by the debris.

"From now on!" The instructor was not moved at all, walked straight to Ruan Ming, and pointed at him, "Which squad are you from?" Who is the squad leader? ”

"Mr. Instructor, I'm from the Second Gun Team of the Third Infantry Battalion." Halfway through speaking, Ruan Mingfang couldn't help but look left and right, only to find that the team leader turned out to be the person who was shot just now, so he had to stubbornly point to the person who was still screaming in the distance, "He is the team leader." ”

"From now on, you're the squad leader!" The instructor glanced at the wounded man who was still rolling and yelled at a few Medeno soldiers beside him, "Drag that fool to the ambulance team!" Don't let him scream anymore! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ruan Mingfang again, "Don't let me down!" Ruan Mingfang hurriedly stood up and raised his head according to the training of the past few days and shouted, "Yes! Mr. Instructor! ”
