Chapter 59 Tang Long 1
Having Xu Shisong is equivalent to having other Fortress owners of the Xu family.
All the long and three bedrooms can be implemented according to unified standards. The supply of gunpowder is only 20 kilograms. How can they distribute it to the uncle and uncle and the others themselves to get a headache.
As for the second wife, Xu Muhe will not put additional pressure on him since the last time the father and son were open-minded.
As for Luan Tingyu, Sun Li and the second-bedroom fortress owners can recommend their father as a shield.
Of course, the production of gunpowder still needs to be increased. New firearms, more firearms, and simple explosive devices (such as ten thousand enemies) that have not found any opportunity to use, but have no technical thresholds, all require a large amount of gunpowder to support them. If it is still thirty kilograms a month, even training will not be guaranteed.
"I have to add a burden to Gongsun Sheng. I should be able to obtain relevant materials from the whole family now. If I increase the number of apprentices, the output should be increased."
With Xu Shiyang's insistence, after the last meeting in the fort, the gunpowder workshop under Gongsun Sheng began to decompose the gunpowder manufacturing process.
Moreover, even if there are not so many raw materials, each process must be equipped with double apprentices.
At that time, Gongsun Sheng complained about this, and now he should praise Xu Shiyang's "foresight".
"Oh..., there is still a shortage of people!" Xu Shiyang sighed, "If there were double the skilled workers, instead of the apprentice who was worried, the output could double again."
The facts will not change because of complaints. There are only two ways to lack people. One is to calm down and train yourself, and the other is to try to search for existing talents that can be used.
So this time, Xu Shiyang was not polite at all. He took advantage of his chance to challenge the spoils first and packaged all the craftsmen and family members of the Fulaishan prisoners, leaving none of them for others.
Even Xu Shiyang suppressed his inner likes and dislikes and retained several skilled elderly bandits.
for example:
"This person's name is Tang Long, the nickname of Jin Qian Leopard, he played well and built military weapons in Liu Gaoshan Village Technical College..."
The night before the execution of the bandit leader and the old bandit, Gongsun Sheng quietly came to Xu Shiyang and recommended him a "talent".
"blacksmith?"
"Yes, I heard that he was from the former Western Army Military Arts Supervisor."
"Bring to see me."
More than a decade ago, when the Great Zhou Dynasty could maintain its rule in Jiangbei, the Western Army was the strongest combat-capable army among the Great Surrounding Army. Among them, the excellent equipment provided by the military weapon surveillance played a great role in the second only to the imperial guards in the capital. In fact, after the Western Army collapsed, many weapons and armor fell outside the pass and were still regarded as valuable assets by the Tartars.
A craftsman who came from the Western Army Military Weapons, if it is true, it would be a surprise.
After a while, Gongsun Sheng brought Tang Long, who was tied up by many flowers. Xu Shiyang looked carefully. This guy was shorter than his height, but his muscles were tangled. Looking horizontally, he looked almost two wider than Xu Shiyang, and he looked very strong.
His face was dark and had a beard, and he looked like Zhang Fei in the TV series. He looked like a temper, at least he was very stinky, and he was caught, but he still looked at Xu Shiyang with his head in a bad way.
"I heard you are from the Western Army?" Xu Shiyang asked curiously.
"Hmph!" Ignore people.
"I don't think it looks like it." Xu Shiyang shook his head and said to Gongsun Sheng who was standing aside: "The Western Army is the strongest border army in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is said to be stronger than the imperial guards. There must be real heroes inside. How could he fall into Fulai Mountain to attack the bandits?"
"It must be a bragging."
"You thief!" Tang Long couldn't help but curse: "Grandpa is from the Western Army! Grandpa is a hero!"
"Haha, the Western Army was defeated by a group of militias under my command? I still have the face to say something good..."
The facts were in front of him, and Tang Long could not refute it. The boy stared at Xu Shiyang with a pair of bull eyes, but couldn't say a word.
"No wonder I can't beat the Tartars. The so-called strongest border troops are all cowards like you. It would be strange if you can beat the Tartars." Xu Shiyang looked disdainful.
"Nonsense!" Tang Long suddenly bumped into Xu Shiyang. As soon as he got closer, he was kicked back by Gongsun Sheng.
This Taoist can walk from Laoshan to Juzhou by himself, and his skills are really good.
"We are not afraid of the Tartars! Our Western Army has no cowards!"
I couldn't compete with Xu Shiyang, the strong man with black face rolled on the ground like a child, turning around and crying:
"If it weren't for the blind instructor of the Niao Civil Service, how could our Western Army be defeated? We are almost destroying the Dangxiang Manzi! We are not cowards!"
Xu Shiyang was deliberately annoying him. Ten years ago, the Western Army was indeed a bit unfair.
At that time, Liaodong was in the process of alternating two powerful powers - one was the semi-nova, semi-farming Khitan, and the other was the semi-nova, semi-nova, semi-fishing and hunting Jurchen. Two groups of Tartars were competing for dominance in Liaodong, and the grassland Tatars were on the eve of the decisive battle of the War of Unification, and no one could free up his hands to rob the Great Zhou for the time being.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Great Zhou sent elite Western Army to launch an attack on the Northwest Dangxiang, intending to recover the Yin and Xia areas, which is an important horse-producing land. If it can be successful, it will have a good promotion effect on enhancing the combat effectiveness of the Zhou army.
The attack was very smooth at the beginning. The Western Army was worthy of being the most powerful army in the Great Zhou Dynasty. They even fought near the capital of the Dangxiang people for a time.
But then, the situation changed suddenly, and the Liaodong War decided the victory and defeat at an astonishing speed. The Jurchens destroyed the Khitan regime and controlled the entire Liaodong. Then they entered the pass in a large number and started a journey of robbing the Central Plains.
The other Zhou army, including the imperial guards, faced the complete defeat of the Jurchens, at this time, the emperor sent a high-powered civil servant (the prime minister and leader of the dynasty) to the northwest to mobilize the Western army that was preparing to fight the Dangxiang people, and prepared to transfer this most combative unit to the battlefield of Yanzhao to resist the Jurchens' offensive.
That fulfilled his mission well for the civil servants - all the voices against the withdrawal of troops were suppressed (it was said that many generals who were unwilling to withdraw were killed at that time).
But civil servants have no military experience and are not clear about what retreat before the enemy means to a feudal army.
Under the constant entanglement and pursuit of the Dangxiang people, the retreat eventually turned into a defeat, and the troops that the Great Zhou Dynasty could fight were wasted...
In the end, the Jurchens swept across the entire area north of the Yangtze River, millions of Han people were killed, and almost the same number of people were looted as slaves.
What is slightly different from the shame of Jingkang is that the Emperor of Great Zhou is very good at long-distance running and his sense of smell is quite sensitive. Before the Jurchens arrived in the capital, he took his royal relatives to Jiangnan to enjoy their happiness.
Another difference is that the civil war on the grassland also ended at this time, and the unified Tatars launched an offensive against the Jurchens.
The newly established Jurchen Jin regime had no choice but to spit out most of the spoils. The main force of the Jin army returned to Liaodong to defend their hometown and fought fiercely with the Tatars at the place where the Jin Tartars were handed over.
