Chapter 81: Training

After returning to Lingao, the convoy resumed training. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although the arsenal continues to deliver rifles to the troops, the daily training is still based on queues and assassinations, with the aim of helping the soldiers adapt to the way the guards fight.

Platoon training can improve soldiers' discipline and willpower, and assassination training can exercise soldiers' courage, boost morale, and strengthen discipline.

Although rifles and artillery played a huge role in several skirmishes, Summer Nan did not want to let his troops rely too much on firearms. After all, this is still an era dominated by cold weapons, and the existing firearms are not enough to completely suppress the cold weapons troops, especially in the face of cavalry, strict queues and the courage to dare to fight hand-to-hand are the most important.

At first, Huang Mengjia and the native soldiers did not agree with the seemingly dull queue training, a large group of people lined up in an upright or horizontal column, one station was an hour or two, and they had to divide their left foot and right foot when they walked in unison, which seemed silly and naïve to them. Even if it's assassination training, in their opinion, it's very chicken, isn't hand-to-hand combat just showing the guy rushing up and slashing indiscriminately? This is how they used to defeat one opponent after another before they met the escorts. Although they were reluctantly trained due to the strength of the escort team, the perfunctory meaning was obvious.

Xia Nan used the simplest and most effective method to solve the problem of the inactive training of the native soldiers -- combat training. The guards used sticks of the same length as their spears, the soldiers used wooden knives, and their weapons were dipped in dye.

Originally, Huang Mengjia and the native soldiers were very confident, and the opponent's firearms were naturally sharp, but hand-to-hand combat was difficult to say. Although they lost to each other at the door of Chengmai and the door, but in the battle of Tinantong, the escort team won very thrillingly, and if there was no Yang Youji, which was similar to the existence of a BUG, the result might be rewritten.

The outcome of the battle was unexpected. If the escort team that entered the battle for the first time in Tinan Tong was still nervous, and the combat skills were a little rusty, after several actual combat training, coupled with the large-scale exercise training that had not stopped, the strength of the escort team had obviously risen to a higher level.

In the face of the opponent's "spear" like a forest, and the seemingly simple but tricky and vicious stab, the length of the weapon is not enough, and the basic uncoordinated native soldiers have been "casualties" nearly half of them in a few rounds, if it was a real knife and a real gun, the team would have collapsed long ago.

Although Huang Mengjia relied on his natural divine power, rushed left and right, and "killed" many people, his two fists were difficult to defeat with four hands, and he still "died" in front of the opponent's cooperation and numerical advantage.

Facts speak louder than words, and Huang Mengjia had to admit that he was not unjustly defeated by the escort team. Whether it is with firearms or hand-to-hand combat, he is not an opponent. The leader was convinced, and the native soldiers were even more convinced, and obediently accepted the boring training.

The training ground here is in full swing, but Xia Nan did not hide the fact that Huang Mengjia was recruited, and he did not bother to deliberately conceal it. The news that the local soldiers were incorporated was soon learned by the Lingao County Ya.

When he learned the news, the county commander Wu Mingjin was very uneasy. Defeating the Li people besieging Chengmai County can only show that Xia Nan's subordinates are very strong and fearful, but the nature of taking in these Li people and using them for their own use is completely different.

"What is the difference between this and rebellion! The thieves who committed the rebellion did not tie up the official yamen, but hid in the camp in an attempt to collect it for their own use! Wu Mingjin complained indignantly.

Master Qian is calmer than him, and he cares more about whether this behavior really threatens the county government than metaphysical things such as loyalty and patriotism, and even affects him.

Recently, after investigation, it can be seen that Xia Nan smelted iron in Bairentan, even made bird guns, and trained troops in the Mayuan Salt Field, these behaviors did not deliberately conceal the government, and it took some effort to find out.

Although it is forbidden by the imperial court, as long as there is silver to offer, you can turn a blind eye, but the bird gun, plus private training soldiers, as long as the evidence is conclusive, it is enough to raid the house and destroy the door. The problem is that Xia Nanping is very shrewd and thoughtful, and if he doesn't care about whether the government knows about these things, then this is a very dangerous signal. Could it be that the previous inference was wrong? I thought that he would be reluctant to let go of these pots and jars when his business became bigger, but he didn't expect to go astray in the end? Master Qian was puzzled.

Wu Mingjin is a traditional civil official after all, and he can't sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing, so his only choice is to report to Fucheng. As for sending someone to arrest Xia Nan, he has not lost his mind, he has three hundred young and strong, and he can defeat six or seven hundred local soldiers, and a dozen servants are not enough to stuff his teeth.

When the county magistrate personally drafted the submission to the city, Master Qian was thinking about the possible consequences. Once this submission is issued, it is equivalent to tearing up Xia Nan's face, whether Fucheng can send troops to arrest him, when the officers and soldiers will arrive, and whether Xia Nan will be arrested with his hands tied, are all unknown.

In Master Qian's view, Xia Nan will definitely resist, in case he doesn't take Xia Nan by then, he will definitely be angry with the county government, the county can be loyal to the court, he is just a little master, and there are old wives and children at home, so he can't accompany him to death. So, what should you do to protect yourself?

A short submission was soon issued, and Wu Daxian ordered the ink to be blown dry, carefully rolled up, and summoned his cronies and officials, and ordered him to leave early tomorrow morning and send it to Fucheng. Master Qian rolled his eyes and looked for an opportunity to go out.

After laying down the chopping mountain, the biggest threat in front of him was eliminated, and during the time of the training of the native soldiers, Xia Nanzheng was busy with Maria, Chunlan and others to have in-depth exchanges and discuss life and ideals.

After the crossing, it is the greatest pleasure of Xia Nan to flirt with the beauties around him, touching the little hands, kissing the little face or something, and Maria does not prohibit him from rubbing the oil of Chunlan and other maids, so hugging left and right, all the women are in harmony and happy, in the old time and space, only dreams can happen.

Xia Nan also has a dream, he plans to expand on the original site of Hujiazhuang, build two adjacent gardens, he and Lin Weiye one and a half, using the Jiangnan garden design, rockeries, gardens and everything, but also to dig an artificial lake, for the future hostesses to take advantage of the cool, feed the fish or something - note, it is the hostesses, Xia Nan's ambition is not one or two sisters can be satisfied.

When he was obsessed with the future harem, Liu Quan came to report, and the county government master Qian came to visit.
