During the training process, Zhu Yicheng was also observing the nature of these people and selecting some people with good execution skills from them. Through the battle of wits and courage in training, Zhu Yicheng realized that smart people are not necessarily good soldiers, but strong execution skills are truly available. Picking these people out of more than 300 people and giving them certain preferential treatment can further motivate them to train, and at the same time, it is also a comparison of those old people who are lip service.

Is this method effective? The effect must be, but it is not as good as expected. However, for the current situation, we can only do this temporarily. In addition, these people can also be trained as grassroots backbones. Zhu Yicheng did not forget to give them literacy classes and provide material care.

In the past half a month, this group of mobs finally became a little bit good, and both the queue and some basic tactics were barely decent. In addition to training, Zhu Yicheng did not forget another step of two steps, that is equipment.

From the beginning, Zhu Yicheng wanted to make firearms, but after asking the blacksmiths who came from Chenjia Town, he realized that this firearm was not that easy to do. To make a firearm, you must first have good iron, and then you also need good skills. The blacksmiths in Chenjia Town usually make a hoe and make a few iron pots, and it is really embarrassing to let them get the firearms.

The firearm made from the black pig iron is simply unbearable. Whether it is shaped or practical, it is simply unqualified. At most, it can be used as a firework, not to mention that it has any lethality. What's more, Zhu Yicheng doesn't understand the design of the firearm! After half a month of tossing, he can be said to have nothing except wasting time.

The road to firearms is temporarily unavailable. No matter how Zhu Yicheng knows the development of hot weapons, he is helpless without a foundation and professionals. The disappointed Zhu Yicheng can only give up this matter temporarily and wait until he has the chance in the future.

However, the equipment problem still needs to be solved, and the long-range attack method without the firearms must be solved. For this, Zhu Yicheng could only subdue and turned his attention to the bows and arrows that his ancestors had been using.

When it comes to bows and arrows, this is not easy to make. The time and energy spent on a traditional bow from production to completion is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Moreover, the production of bows also requires professionals, and ordinary craftsmen cannot handle it at all.

But compared with firearms, the principle of bows and arrows is relatively simple, and the materials are much more convenient. After asking carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen, Zhu Yicheng decided to make a batch of bamboo bows in the form of a long bow to equip it. Although it seems a bit funny, it is still useful.

Although a real English longbow is simpler than the traditional Chinese bow production method, the materials used are special. First of all, its bow body needs to be made of some solid and durable wood, such as elm, hazel and basil wood, etc., and then its bow body length is also an important aspect of determining the range. However, there are wood in Jiangnan, but this kind of wood is relatively small, and most of them grow in the north. In addition, it also requires a relatively high process flow after taking materials. Zhu Yicheng did not consider this for the time being, and his attention was turned to the most common material in Jiangnan - bamboo.

The bamboos that can be seen everywhere in Jiangnan are of course not as good as the material used for real longbows in terms of material, and the bow body made of bamboo is easy to become brittle and damaged. However, from the perspective of material, the material of bamboo is much more convenient and it is not difficult to process. Cut a suitable bamboo, dry it, cut it, and bake it, and then wrap it in linen on the bow body, then hang a bow string twisted by beef tendon and silk thread, and a simple longbow can be completed.

Arrows can also be made of bamboo. Just install iron arrows on the top of the arrow, and the arrow feathers will be simpler. Just make some goose feathers, duck feathers, or chicken feathers. After a test shot, the completed bow can be shot up to more than 200 meters, and the effective range is about 80 meters, which is not bad compared to ordinary bows.

If there is a disadvantage, it is that the service life of this kind of bow is not long. It will not work if it shoots a bow dozens of times. If it reaches seventy or eighty times, the bow will be almost useless. But even so, compared with Zhu Yicheng, who does not have any long-range equipment, the appearance of this bow can temporarily meet his needs, not to mention that he can also train his archers by equipting this kind of bow.

Anyway, the materials are cheap and simple to make, and the new bow is not bad. Soon this kind of bow was promoted in Zhu Yicheng's team. Everyone who used it was praised, and some even became obsessed with this weapon. Each of them made two or three spares, and in the end, there were more than five hundred such bows among Zhu Yicheng's more than 300 people.

Just as Zhu Yicheng was leaning against the mountain to "train troops", the situation in the north changed unexpectedly. With the help of Hunan reinforcements, Zhang Yunyi finally blocked Yuan Qi's defeated soldiers in the Langxi area. At this time, Yuan Qi's remaining soldiers were less than 6,000, and the green camp commanded by Zhang Yunyi reached 12,000. Whether in terms of the number of people or morale and equipment, Yuan Qi was bound to be defeated.

If there were no accidents, Lang Xi was the place where Yuan Qi was eventually defeated, but who would have thought that something happened to Zhang Yunyi just blocked Yuan Qi's troops. Zhang Yunyi went to war at an old age. In the past month, he first led his troops south to lift the siege of Hangzhou, and then defeated most of the hundreds of thousands of rebels. Then he continued to encircle and suppress the fleeing Yuan Qi and other rebels. The war almost stopped for a day. Zhang Yunyi even went to the front line to command in the army. He was overworked and finally fell ill.

The illness suddenly came. Zhang Yunyi suddenly fainted during the meeting to arrange the encirclement plan. He was then carried to the tent by panicked generals. Before he could invite a good doctor to treat Zhang Yunyi, he would have died. In fact, if it weren't for Yuan Qi's rebellion, Zhang Yunyi would have died in the 49th year of Kangxi, two years later. The emergence of Yuan Qi's rebel army led to Zhang Yunyi's death in the army two years in advance.

As soon as Zhang Yunyi died, the officers and soldiers immediately lost unified command. In addition, Zhang Yunyi died suddenly and did not assign a replacement. The generals of each unit were originally drawn from various places to be commanded by Zhang Yunyi, especially the reinforcements in Hunan. Now that Zhang Yunyi is dead, no one of these people is convinced, resulting in problems with the command and coordination of various units of the officers and soldiers.

Yuan Qi, who was almost at a loss, keenly noticed the abnormal movements of the officers and soldiers. When he found that the officers and soldiers who were pressing forward step by step had poor coordination, although Yuan Qi was puzzled, he immediately seized this opportunity and decisively commanded his subordinates to break through.

After a great war, although Yuan Qi lost thousands of troops, he made a hole in the encirclement. Most of his troops broke through the encirclement and headed west. The officers and soldiers were caught off guard and had no time to react. After he came back to his senses, Yuan Qi's troops had already jumped out of the encirclement and ran without a trace.

Zhang Yunyi spent more than a month on the encirclement and suppression, and it was a failure. When the news reached the capital, Ma Qi, who was left behind in the capital, was shocked and hurriedly summoned the ministers and princes in Beijing to discuss countermeasures. At the same time, he quickly sent an urgent memorial to Kangxi to the north.

In the north, near Buerhasutai from Mongolia to Beijing, there is more than 100 miles of grassland left by the palace, and Kangxi's camp is stationed here. According to the itinerary, Emperor Kangxi should still be patrolling outside the game at this time, but due to the changes in the situation in Jiangnan, Kangxi set off for Beijing more than two months earlier than in history.

The golden tent is the tent of Kangxi. His main business is the tent of the princes and princes of various Manchus and Mongolian flags, and of course, it also includes the tents of the Crown Prince Yinreng, the eldest prince Yinti, the thirteenth prince Yinxiang, the fourth prince Yinzhi, the fifteenth prince Yinzhen, the sixteenth prince Yinlu, the seventeenth prince Yinli, the eighteenth prince Yinlu and others.

The display in the tent was no worse than that in the Forbidden City. On this day, Kangxi first met with princes and princes from various tribes as usual, and then discussed the affairs with the ministers. After the matter was completed, Kangxi relaxed a little and was about to have a sip of tea when a hurry was delivered.

He accidentally opened the memorial and looked at it for a few seconds. Kangxi's thin face suddenly flashed with anger, and he stood up.

The eunuch serving on the side was so scared that he didn't dare to take a breath. Kangxi was angry. Who made the emperor so angry?

After walking a few steps in the tent, Kangxi, who was clenching his fists, gradually calmed down.

"Transfer to the prince, eldest prince, thirteenth prince, fourteenth prince!" Kangxi's cold voice sounded in the tent, and the eunuch responded quickly and hurriedly went out to pass the order.
Chapter completed!
