Chapter 50 Military Salute, the Blacksmith Invited to the Mountain

"We use them, we use them. As a special operations unit entrusted with an important task by the leader, how can we not be strict with them?"

"Could it be that Officer Li Yu feels that he can't do it?"

"No way, no way"

"Hmm~? Who said we can't do it? I promise to complete the task!"

Li Yu thrust out his chest and punched his left chest with his right fist.

This is a military salute designed by the dynasty after comprehensive considerations.

If it were the Ming Dynasty, it would probably be two kneelings and one bow.

"Good! I knew Officer Li Yu would not let me down.

Therefore, he just wanted to have someone make or buy some weapons.

He was extremely disdainful of Wu Ping's camping at the foot of the enemy's mountain.

However, things were a little beyond his expectations.

Without much thought, Zhou Yan knew the identities of all the people. They were either bandits or rebels.

I take as much as I can. I have no shortage of money.

Secondly, perhaps he could use his merits in suppressing bandits to remove the word "trial" from his title of trial centurion and become an official centurion official.

Then I will wait for the results of Li Yu's training."

In this case, he would naturally not help to forge weapons no matter what.

Li Yu bowed and made his assurance again, then returned to the training ground with Wang Dahu and others to select suitable candidates.

At least, Chen Ying was just a small trial centurion of the sixth rank, so there really wasn't much to gain.

But after that, there will be shortages.

Regardless of their identity, if the government knew about it, they would provide the weapons.

"."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's family all froze.

After the group went down, Wang Chao turned his attention to the old blacksmith's family.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of money.

Today, Wang Chao is not only Li Yu's direct superior, but also the commander-in-chief of the Wang Chao army.

What does that have to do with them?

Perhaps by then, the magistrate could even be commended for his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, making the bandits flee in fear.

Then all the family, young and old, would go to the vegetable market.

Go down, and each of you go to the storehouse to collect two taels of silver."

"uncle."

Escape, you must find a chance to escape.

In his opinion, he was just a playboy who relied on his brother's connections to get into the army. How could he have the ability to lead troops in battle?

He had already learned a general idea of the situation from the people who had escaped back.

However, as time goes by, even though the household registration system still exists, one can always buy one's way in as long as one spends money.

In the early Ming Dynasty, it was basically impossible for artisan families like Zhou Yan to take part in the imperial examinations.

If you meet the commander of your camp on horseback, you must dismount and bow.

However, the old blacksmith Zhou Yan heard the number of weapons to be made.

Originally, Zhou Tie had already agreed.

If we only count the middle-aged military soldiers, there are barely more than 30 of them, and they are all pale and thin.

Etiquette must be followed and violators will be dealt with by military law.

Dawangzhuang? Majiaji? Shilipu? Balipo?

There are so many options that he is having difficulty making choices.

On July 30th, the weather was still sunny and hot. Chen Ying, a sixth-rank centurion of Weiyuan County, had led his soldiers and recruited more than 500 people to start a more "strict" training.

After all, Wang Chao also knew that given their current situation, basically no one would be willing to join them.

"No, no, no, I can't afford it. I can't afford it."

However, he felt it was strange to perform the modern military salute while wearing a helmet and armor, so he designed it to be a right fist pressed against the chest, which was both convenient and fairly regular.

He should now consider where to borrow food from at the foot of the mountain.

If you are not the commander of the battalion, you only need to give way and wait for him to pass immediately;

Looking at Wang Chao's serious expression, Zhou Yan stood there at a loss, completely not knowing how to start the conversation.

Moreover, according to what the county magistrate said, he only wanted them to guard at the foot of the mountain and wait until the bandits came down to rob before attacking.

Listen, listen, this is setting up corresponding institutions modeled after the imperial court, if this is not rebellion, what is it?

They have really fallen into a den of traitors, and their future is truly worrying.

After a period of "enhanced" training, everyone has started to look better. Captain Chen Ying's originally thin figure has become a little stronger.

As for the previous Wu Ping, as a centurion in the army, he did not think highly of him.

Zhou Yan's family couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.

Therefore, the life of Chen Ying, a trial centurion of the sixth rank, was only slightly better than that of an ordinary soldier.

Apart from the army, even the county government wouldn't need that much.

But in fact, even if the old and the weak were included, there were only more than a hundred people in the hundred households under his jurisdiction.

Wang Chao returned to the meeting room and began to think about the next plan.

On August 2, the people Wang Chao sent down the mountain to look for the blacksmith finally returned to the mountain.

Yes, it’s a family.

Looking at Li Yu who saluted solemnly, Wang Chao smiled with satisfaction and praised loudly.

Dozens of people were overjoyed when they heard this. This was two months' military pay, so they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wen’s path to the imperial examination was not smooth, and he is still just a student today.

However, since the people have already been brought here, Wang Chao naturally has no reason to let them go down the mountain.

If you are not the commander of the battalion, you only need to give way and wait for him to pass immediately;

Without saying a word, he turned down the deal without hesitation.

However, faced with the threat from more than a dozen big men, they had no choice but to surrender.

In the end, the dozen or so people who came down the mountain were so angry that they directly kidnapped the entire family of eight and brought them all up the mountain.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

He also has an eleven-year-old grandson, Zhou Jie, who is Zhou Tie's son; and a granddaughter, Zhou Lanying, who is Zhou Wen's daughter and is ten years old this year.

The army did not need weapons from a folk blacksmith like him.

He is still qualified to lead them.

If you meet the commander of your camp on horseback, you must dismount and bow.

It's now available. Thank you for your support! ().:*

"After all, you are an elder, and you can afford it.

Well, that's it! "

"This this"

So, when he heard that they were asked to go into the mountains to suppress the bandits, he agreed without much hesitation.

What else can I do?

Since his subordinates were so capable, he had no choice but to reward them.

The old blacksmith’s surname is Zhou, and his name is Zhou Yan. He has superb craftsmanship and is famous in the surrounding villages.

"Well, since you have already gone up the mountain, don't go back. I will arrange a job for you in the mountain.

I will never treat you unfairly."

The whole family was brought up the mountain in an orderly manner, without a single one left behind.

Maybe it's a bit taken for granted, but it should be feasible.

However, the person who came down the mountain directly invited the blacksmith's family of eight to go up the mountain.

As soon as Wang Chao finished speaking, Zhou Yan shook his head and bowed repeatedly.

Well, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty’s garrisons other than the Nine Frontier Garrisons were almost the same as the generals’ servants and tenants.

The dynasty cannot wait until the last minute to consider it.

Although, he should be in charge of a group of more than 200 people.

But the food is a little insufficient. It should be enough to last for ten days or half a month.

No matter what, Chen Ying was also a registered centurion of the imperial guards, and the others were just anonymous militiamen.

Zhou Yan had a wife named Liu, and they had two sons.

Otherwise, when the imperial army surrounded and suppressed them, all eight members of their family would be buried in Niaoshu Mountain.

However, both the magistrate Li Wenshu and the county assistant Wuchang who was in charge of money and grain, turned a blind eye.

Looking at the dozen people standing beside him with smiles on their faces, ready to praise me, Wang Chao waved his hands helplessly.

From this we can imagine the situation of his centurion.

Etiquette must be followed and violators will be dealt with by military law.

Moreover, after wiping out the bandits, they will be disbanded again and will no longer be regular soldiers.

As for if they stayed here, those bandits would flee to other counties.

However, this is not the case for all generals.

Zhou Yan was unwilling, but he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only stand there hesitantly.

Coupled with their cowardice when facing government soldiers, I am afraid that the moment the two armies come into contact, those so-called bandits will be defeated in one blow.

After all, he thought, how much fighting power could a group of hungry people who had just settled down have?

But Wang Chao felt that this was inconvenient after all, and he was not used to it, so he made some slight changes.

Looking at the family of eight who were trembling with fear and trepidation, Wang Chao was speechless.

If it is according to the description in "Records of Military Training", then two kneelings and one bow are required.

:.ヽ(*`).:

In the section "Military Ceremony" of Qi Jiguang's "Treatise on Military Training", it is stipulated that lower-ranking officers and soldiers in the military camp must "kneel twice and bow once" when meeting their commander.

If a non-direct subordinate comes to see the emperor, he/she should kneel once and bow twice.

When a superior issues a military order, the subordinate must kneel to receive it;

If you meet a superior on the road, you can do what is convenient for you and you don’t have to kneel down;

In addition, there are Zhou Yan’s two daughters-in-law.

Zhou Yan was even more thinking about this.

The second son, Zhou Wen, who is 30 years old this year, did not inherit Zhou Yan's craft, but instead used his connections to study literature and take the imperial examinations.

Seeing Zhou Yan about to kneel down, Wang Chao's expression became serious and he made the final decision.

Looking at Zhou Yan's family who were extremely terrified, Wang Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The eldest son, Zhou Tie, 38 years old this year, inherited Zhou Yan’s craft and is now the head of the blacksmith shop.

“You guys did a great job.

Good man, I asked you to find someone to make weapons, but you directly brought the manufacturer to me.

"Thank you, chief!"

As for whether he could defeat and wipe out the bandits, Chen Ying really didn't have much worries.

Originally, the dynasty just wanted people to make weapons.

Originally, Wang Chao had thought about modern military salutes.

Of course, they are definitely not willing to do so.

In fact, the group of people who came down the mountain originally wanted to make weapons.

"How about this, doesn't the imperial court have a weapons bureau? Then we can set up a weapons manufacturing bureau."

Even so, all together, Chen Ying had more than 600 people under his command, far exceeding the number of people a centurion should be in charge of.

Of course, he is already 56 years old this year and rarely takes action.

Who would need so many weapons?

In the section "Military Ceremony" of Qi Jiguang's "Treatise on Military Training", it is stipulated that lower-ranking officers and soldiers in the military camp must "kneel twice and bow once" when meeting their commander.

If a non-direct subordinate comes to see the emperor, he/she should kneel once and bow twice.

When a superior issues a military order, the subordinate must kneel to receive it;

If you meet a superior on the road, you can do what is convenient for you and you don’t have to kneel down;

First of all, they can take this opportunity to demand military pay.
