Chapter 106: 1 Going Forward
After speaking, Shang Yun seemed not to notice the commotion of the soldiers below, and said goodbye to Fang Xing and Dong Pi with a smile, and left on his own.
After Shang Yun left, Dong Pi hesitantly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Fang, do you want to dismiss the soldiers?"
Fang Xing glanced at the red sun that just appeared in the sky, and said with a smile, "No need."
Holding the trumpet in hand, Fang Xing said to the following again: "I'll say it again, those who feel that they can't stand my rules can stand up now. Master Shang is not far away, hurry up and follow."
"It's half a stick of incense time, hurry up if you want to leave, don't leave? Then don't blame me for practicing ruthlessly!"
Xin Laoqi immediately lit a broken half stick of incense beside him, and then guarded Fang Xing with his saber.
The sergeants below were silent at first, but with the burning of the half stick of incense, the first quitter appeared.
"Boom!"
Throwing the spear on the ground, the sergeant cupped his fists and said to Fang Xing: "I'm sorry, we came here for His Royal Highness, but now it seems that this place is worse than the big camp, and the villain is willing to go back."
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Fang Xing nervously, worried that he would use him for surgery.
But Fang Xing just squinted his eyes, then nodded, and a servant behind him immediately went down to record the person's name, and then stood there, waiting for the next one.
Seeing that this person walked out of the barracks smoothly, the second and third followed immediately...
When half a stick of incense was burned, forty-seven people left.
Fang Xing turned his head and said to Dong Pi: "Let the Ministry of War fill up the gap later, and why are there no muskets?"
Dong Pi smiled wryly and said, "The Ministry of War said that it is not easy to build muskets, so we have to wait. As for how long it will take, I think it will be difficult for the lower officials."
Fang Xing snorted coldly, "Grandfather wrote to me, saying that the prepared silver, grain, grass and iron materials have been sent to the Ministry of War. It seems that someone is tripping me up!"
When you arrive at the barracks, you must be rude, otherwise the people below will not obey you.
Dong Pi nodded and said, "The lower officials think the same way, but the military department..."
Fang Xing laughed, and said with a smile: "I'll go there later, I want to see who swallowed up the money for Guochao's military training!"
Dong Pi shrunk his neck, thinking that this man had been accused of corruption from the very beginning, and it seemed that the Ministry of War was going to be lively today.
The people below saw that there was no movement for a long time, and some sergeants began to sit down.
"Master."
After Xin Laoqi saw it, he leaned over and pointed down.
Fang Xing also saw it, and he handed the trumpet to Lao Qi Xin, "Qi Lao, it's up to you from now on, let me get rid of their bad habits."
After getting the order, Xin Laoqi rushed down with his servants, brandishing a big stick, and pulled the sergeants who were sitting on the ground to stand up.
"Get up, look at your appearance, how is it different from the green skin on the street? Get up quickly!"
After a while of whipping with sticks, the people below stood up straighter, but the atmosphere was a bit wrong, as if they were giving birth to rebellious emotions.
Fang Xing sneered, and greeted Xin Lao Qi: "Lao Qi, take our people and let them open their eyes."
"Yes, master!"
Xin Laoqi knew that this was a deterrent, so he immediately asked the servants to stand in a long row, and ordered: "Straight ahead, let's go!"
"Boom!"
The sound of neat footsteps resounded on the training ground, as if a heavy hammer was hitting everyone's hearts.
It turns out that walking can be so beautiful!
But then Fang Xing let them see the cruel side.
After walking more than a hundred meters, there is a row of shrubs with thorns hanging in front of them. This is transplanted by Fang Xing specially, and the height is about the waist of an adult.
"They'll turn right away!"
A sergeant who looked cunning said firmly.
"It's hard to hang people on that thorn,
Scratched all over. "
But the servants disappointed the sergeants, they walked into the bushes like stone men.
"hiss!"
All the sergeants were stunned when they saw that the clothes of the servants from the waist down were scratched by spikes and their bodies were dripping with blood.
When ten servants appeared at the front of the queue with blood on their bodies, everyone was silent.
That is the human body! They didn't even tremble a bit, they just stood there expressionless.
After a while of silence, Fang Xing said coldly and left.
"According to a group of 100 people, practice the array first!"
Seeing that Fang Xing was about to run away, Dong Pi panicked, hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Mr. Fang, is this just a practice formation?"
After Fang Xing went down the steps, he turned around and said, "This thousand headquarters will be full of musketeers, and what do musketeers rely on? They rely on an indestructible array and courage to move forward!"
The current firearms are only auxiliary, even in Europe, in those large-scale wars, muskets are not yet the mainstream.
The so-called queuing and shooting tactics have to wait for more than two hundred years. The grand occasion where both sides come within range of each other and fire at each other is not even brewing.
That's why Fang Xing has such high requirements for the array.
If the array is incomplete, the output of firepower will be compromised.
If the soldiers are not brave enough, under the flying arrows and the sound of horseshoes approaching by the cavalry, the array will panic or even collapse.
"Discipline and courage."
Fang Xing patted Dong Pi's shoulder, pointed at Seventh Xin and said, "I'll listen to him for everything. All I want is discipline and courage. As for muskets, trust me, everything will be there."
Fang Xing left, and Dong Pi returned to the stage in a daze, feeling that he had been abandoned.
As a general manager in a fringe area, Dong Pi was a little happy to get this position at first, but with the change of the attitude of the Ministry of War, Dong Pi panicked.
And when he knew that Fang Xing was the emperor's grandson's teacher and that he had a close relationship with the prince's family, hope was rekindled in his heart.
But you can't be a hands-off shopkeeper like this!
"A group of 100 people, a row of 20 people form an array!"
"All the hundreds of households come out to form a team, and the slow ones have no lunch today!"
Xin Laoqi's loud voice woke Dong Pi up, and he felt that he should do something.
So a strange scene soon appeared on the training ground: row after row of queues began to drill under the shouts of Xin Laoqi and his servants. And on the side, Dong Pi, who kept his standing posture, has been eating ashes.
Fang Xing didn't slack off, he just went home and said hello, saying that he was not busy at all, and then went to the military department.
The yamen of the Ministry of War looks quite interesting, but the two gatekeepers actually want to ask Fang Xing, who is in plain clothes, to respect him.
Fang Xing took two steps back, looked at the people coming in and out, and said loudly: "No wonder you dare to drink soldiers' blood, so the root is here!"
The people who came in and out were stunned for a moment. Looking at Fang Xing who was dressed in ordinary clothes, he thought to himself that this person must be crazy, right? How dare you say they are corrupt at the gate of the Ministry of War.
And those two doormen also yelled through gritted teeth: "Where is the monster! Take it down and talk about it."
