In addition to the 1,000 people originally allocated by Qin Mu, with Qin Mu's consent, Huang Lianshan successively recruited nearly 600 third-rate and nine-sect figures, and the development of the scout camp was already very amazing. Now after changing its name to Singles' House, Qin Mu vigorously supported it, and did not hesitate to invest a lot of money to let Huang Lianshan recruit the dead.

It can be that Yujian's Singles' House will soon become an extremely terrifying secret organization, such an organization is in the hands of Huang Lianshan, it is impossible for Qin Mu not to arrange some secret chess, lest this organization get out of his control.

In order to show his loyalty, Huang Lianshan also took the initiative to bring his wife, children and mother to Changsha and put them under the control of Qin Mu to dissect his heart.

With the temporary end of the Huguang War, the role of the Singles' House in military intelligence reprimand gradually faded, followed by several major tasks assigned to Huang Lianshan by Qin Mu, each of which made Huang Lianshan's heart feel heavy.

Before Huang Lianshan left, Qin Mu suddenly remembered something, so he instructed Huang Lianshan: "You immediately contact the people in the capital, no matter what means you use, even if it is kidnapping, you must bring the missionary of John Tang to Changsha to this official, this matter should be fast." ”

"Yes, sir." Huang Lianshan also remembered that there was something that had not been reported, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my subordinates have just received news that He Tengjiao has passed Pingxiang, and it will not take ten days to arrive in Changsha." ”

"Got it, go about your business." Qin Mu didn't care too much about this, the governor of the four provinces, Lu Daqi, was pinched by him, and He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, had nothing to worry about.

As soon as Huang Lianshan withdrew, Shao Hua walked in with a stack of cases, "My lord, this is the case reported by the observation envoys sent to various places, and a total of 28 cases of abusing power to engage in malpractice and enriching personal pockets in the land reform have been ascertained, and there are 127 officials involved in the case. ”

"Have you reviewed it? Is there an obvious unjust case? ”

"Your Excellency. The subordinates have all tried it carefully, but the stakes are very high, and the adult needs to personally hear and decide the case. ”

"No need, in troubled times, in order to let the land reform work go smoothly, this official would rather kill ten by mistake than let one go." Qin Mu took the case, wrote down the word "chop" in thick ink, threw it back to Shao Hua and said, "One hundred and twenty-seven." On the next day, all of them will be beheaded, and the official will see who else dares to stretch out his dirty hands. ”

"My lord, most of them do not sin unto death"

"Shao Hua, do you want to disobey?"

"The subordinates don't dare, and the subordinates will carry it out."

At the beginning of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang killed the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to pieces, and most of them did not deserve death, but Zhu Yuanzhang still killed them. Do you say that Zhu Yuanzhang killed people just for fun?

And Qin Mu is now all the grass, just the military aspect will take most of his energy, how can he have time to entangle with these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if he kills one or two people without pain. It simply does not have the effect of deterrence. At this time, whoever stretches out his dirty hands, then he can only consider himself unlucky.

Qin Mu hurriedly reviewed some documents that needed to be dealt with urgently, and when he was done, he took Li Shi, Niu Wanshan and other guards out of the city. Xu Yongshun was waiting outside the yamen early in the morning, Qin Mu had to go to the army to train with the soldiers almost every day, and he would definitely follow.

Qin Mu had already found some clues. Behind this guy is by no means only the Dingguo Gong family and Han Zanzhou, as for how many powerful people are involved, Qin Mu can't be sure now.

And Xu Yongshun doesn't seem to be in a hurry, it's not surprising, he may just come to Changsha to explore the way, after all, Qin Mu has risen not long ago, and those powerful people will definitely have to observe again before deciding whether to really bet.

Xu Yongshun chased after Qin Mu on his horse, and said with a grimace: "Big brother, the younger brother has two buddies who also want to come over after hearing that the younger brother has joined the eldest brother's hands, big brother, look"

"Changsha City is not mine, your buddy can come if he wants, what does it have to do with me?"

"No, big brother, my two buddies also want to vote for big brother."

"Xiao Shunzi, are you annoyed? I'm busy enough, you can find me something to do, be careful that I kick you back to Nanjing. ”

"Okay, don't be angry, big brother, it's okay if you don't talk about it."

Xu Yongshun has been tempted more than once, and Qin Mu is too lazy to answer him.

In addition to the basic riding skills, the cavalry outside the city continued to repeat the chopping action day after day, accumulating day by day, and countless wooden stakes had been cut down, and the nearby trees were cut down, and they had to send someone to cut down the trees in the distance.

The school field was trampled back and forth by the war horses, not an inch of grass grows, and the upper layer is full of thick floating dust, and the war horses gallop past, bringing up smoke and dust to cover the sky and the sun, very much like a battlefield filled with gunpowder.

Stationed on the left side of this cavalry is a six-man army of 1,000 firearms, Qin Mu has found a lot of craftsmen to develop firearms in Huichang, but so far, there has not been much breakthrough in Jishu.

However, a lot of firearms were seized in previous wars, and Qin Mu asked people to select some haode and assemble 6,000 people in advance.

In addition to one firearm and six delivery grenades, there was one carriage for every 10 people, which was equipped with heavy weapons such as tiger squat cannons, Fran cannons, and arrows running from a hundred tigers.

This firearms unit also has several modes of operation, and if the enemy is infantry, 6,000 men and horses will be in a three-stage firing formation.

If it encounters cavalry, it will quickly form a corresponding formation with chariots according to the terrain and actual combat needs to resist the impact of cavalry. At the same time, artillery and guns were used to return fire.

The cavalry and firearms units are adjacent to each other in order to facilitate the training of this unit in coordinated operations, especially how to cooperate when encountering enemy cavalry;

Qin Mu knew very well that there was not much time left for him, and no matter how much he trained in such a short period of time, his cavalry might not be able to compare to the nomadic cavalry who grew up on horseback.

Therefore, if the cavalry fights head-on, the cavalry needs the cooperation of the infantry, and once it encounters the opponent's cavalry, the firearms unit must quickly link up the chariot formation, resist the enemy's cavalry with the chariot formation, and then dispatch the cavalry to give the enemy a heavy blow depending on the battle situation.

In the event of a sudden attack by enemy cavalry, your own cavalry is also responsible for delaying the enemy so that the firearms unit has enough time to link up the chariots. After the chariot formation was connected, the cavalry could retreat.

Today, the two teams are each hostile side, and the cavalry plays the role of enemy cavalry and suddenly attacked, but seeing the sound of iron hooves shaking the ground and shaking the mountains, thousands of cavalry in the mountains and fields rushed with rolling yellow dust, and the momentum was earth-shattering;

The firearms unit suddenly encountered the enemy, and had to set up a circular cart formation between the whiskers, and the 6,000 men were busy with the shouts of the generals, unloading the horses and pushing the carts, while another 3,000 men rushed to the direction of the enemy's attack, and discharged a three-stage firing array to block the enemy, so as to gain as much precious time as possible for the cart formation behind them.

The enemy's cavalry rushed to the chariot with three volleys, and then quickly retreated into the chariot formation, and the hundreds of tigers on the chariot fired heavy weapons such as arrows to buy time for the musketeers to reload, and the enemy's cavalry rode around the chariot formation, and the musketeers hid behind the chariots, and the distant ones returned fire with firearms, and the close ones smashed with grenades.

In order to make the training as close to actual combat as possible, all firearms were to be charged, but not loaded, and fired in paper balls, grenades were replaced by large firecrackers, and the arrows of the cavalry were only wrapped with arrows.

As far as the eye can see, it is like a battlefield of actual combat, with continuous gunfire and thunder, explosions roaring like thunder, the smoke of gunpowder choking people coughing, the sound of war drums, iron hooves, and shouts, like a storm crashing on the shore, and a rain of arrows rising into the air, covering the sky and the sun

Xu Yongshun, who came to watch the battle, was enthusiastic, but he couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother, you are really willing to spend money, I'm afraid except for you, no one in the world is willing to play like this." After this training, the gunpowder consumed alone and the bereavement of the wounded soldiers are probably not less than a thousand taels, if you do this every day, it is not difficult to train elite soldiers, but how long can you last? If you don't wait for the enemy to come, I'm afraid you'll go bankrupt first, big brother. ”

Qin Mu replied calmly: "It's another thing to break or not to go bankrupt, I only know that if you don't practice like this, when the enemy kills, no matter how much silver you keep, you won't be able to spend it." ”

"That's not the case, the eldest brother may have another way to make money, and the younger brother doesn't know, who dares to raise and train soldiers like this? If others do the same, they will starve to death before the enemy comes. ”

As Xu Yongshun said, ordinary people really can't afford to play a few such simulated combat drills, and this is one of the main reasons why Qin Mu is in a hurry to go to Jiangnan to make money.

Because Qin Mu knows the direction of history, he knows that time is more precious than anything else, and in order to train an elite army as soon as possible, now he can be said to invest regardless of the cost. If the silver is gone, we can earn it again, but if the world is gone, you will have nothing.
