The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

After glancing at Li Tianguang, the village chief said.

"Tian Guang, get ready. There's news from Guangzhou that the main force of the army has left Guangzhou. It's time for us to start too!"

"Remember to change into the new clothes and shoes issued by the court!"

"Since the imperial court issued new clothes, it is asking us civilian husbands to also dress uniformly."

Li Tianguang nodded vigorously.

When the imperial court recruited civilian husbands, they not only gave money, but also gave them a suit of clothes.

Coats, tops, trousers, gloves, hats, shoes, etc.

They are all made of fine-textured, high-quality machine cloth.

Li Tianguang has never worn such brand new clothes since he was so old.

Back in his own room, he put on a brand-new clothes, hat, brand-new black cloth shoes, and put on leggings.

It looks like he has so much energy!
Although the shape of the clothes issued by the Ming court is a bit ugly, and the color is gray, but no matter how ugly they are, they are brand new clothes.

When worn on a person, it naturally looks spiritual.

Li Tianguang's daughter-in-law had never seen such a husband before, her eyes brightened, she stepped forward and hugged her husband's waist.

The voice said softly.

"Master, you don't know when you will come back after you go, let's work hard now, let's get another one..."

Li Tianguang's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Then, he pressed his daughter-in-law onto the bed, and jumped on it himself.

The smell of heather filled the house.

……

A group of people gathered at the entrance of the village, wearing neat red clothes, hats, black cloth shoes, and leggings.

Under the leadership of the village chief, head towards Xinhui!

The imperial army will pass by Xinhui, and will be repaired in Xinhui at that time, and these civilians will join the team at this time.

The village chief handed them over to the people in charge of logistics in the army, and then returned to Yangshupo Village.

They were then placed in a camp.

The people in the camp are basically civilian husbands recruited by the imperial court from various places in Xinhui.

After staying in the camp for half a day, Li Tianguang and the others were told that the army was about to arrive at Xinhui, and they were told to be ready to move out at any time.

The next day, at dawn, everyone was awakened from their sleep by a burst of bugles.

Cai arrived at Xinhui's Ming army yesterday evening. After a brief night of repairs, they set off again.

Countless soldiers of the Ming army wore scarlet uniforms, carried muskets and bags, and walked in neat formations according to different organizational systems.

Except for the sound of bugles and military songs, very few people whispered to each other, causing noise.

Even during the march, the formation of the Ming army was quite organized.

The discipline of the army is implemented from the beginning to the end!
Even the newly reorganized Guiyi Army performed well.

The soldiers of the Guiyi Army were basically from the Green Battalion.

They are all veterans of the Green Battalion, and they have basically seen blood on the battlefield, so they have a certain foundation.

As long as they have a little training, make up the food and pay, and strictly enforce military discipline, their combat effectiveness will not be bad.

Li Tianguang and the others looked at the neatly marching Ming army, which formed a stark contrast with these peasants.

Pushing the heavy gun carriage, feeling the icy temperature from the gun barrel, for some reason, Li Guangtian and the others felt a little excited.

cannon!

This is a cannon!

He had no idea that there would be a day in his life when he could touch a cannon.

An experienced old artilleryman marched with the civilian husbands, watching the fiery eyes of several civilian husbands looking at the artillery.

The old artilleryman patted the barrel and said.

"What's wrong?"

"Curious?"

A silly smile appeared on Li Tianguang's face, and he asked curiously.

"Master, I heard that the cannon fired louder than thunder. Is it true?"

The old artilleryman grinned and said proudly.

"Where is it so exaggerated, it is just louder than the firecrackers set off during the New Year."

"Actually, it's nothing much, you'll get used to it after listening to it too much!"

"The cannons you mentioned are louder than thunder, they must be naval guns, or heavy artillery for siege."

"Here, that's what it is!"

"The length of the cannon is one foot and five, and the thickest part of the barrel is thicker than a human waist. The shells alone weigh dozens of catties."

The old artilleryman pointed to a heavy cannon that could barely be dragged by several strong bulls not far away.

Another civilian husband also asked curiously.

"Master, these cannons are all made of copper!"

"How much does it cost to cast a cannon!"

Touching the bronze barrel, they seemed to see a large pile of copper coins piled up in front of them.

The old artilleryman just said with a smile.

"Where is this going!"

"Bronze cannons are not a luxury, the court also has steel cannons!"

"That's the real value!"

Iron in this era is worthless, and steel is the most valuable.

Before the invention of converter steelmaking, the steel frying method was the most important steelmaking method.

And the steelmaking efficiency of the fried steel method...

I can only say that I can't say it!

High-quality steel materials are even more expensive than copper of the same weight.

Using steel to cast cannons is simply unthinkable for people in this era.

The army continued to move forward, and from time to time, messengers rushed past the marching team on horseback.

A cavalry sentry cavalry was scattered out!
Cover the battlefield for the army and explore the front.

Looking at the willow flag of the Chinese army flying high, Li Tianguang wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.

"Master Jun, which general is leading the imperial army this time?"

The old artilleryman spoke.

"It's General Liushan Tailiu, who served as the commander of the [-]rd Infantry Division in the Restoration Army of the Ming Dynasty. He holds the rank of major general and was named Nan'an Bo."

"This one is the old man Yuan Cong of His Highness Jian Guo!"

"When His Royal Highness Jian Guo raised troops in Lu Song, this Lord was with him."

"It is estimated that after the battle in Guangxi is over, this Lord should be named a Marquis, and the military rank may be raised again."

When Li Tianguang heard about the Guangxi war, he subconsciously asked with some concern.

"Master Jun, can our Daming win this battle in Guangxi?"

"My little one heard that the Qing had tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers in Guangxi, and they were all like wolves, very fierce!"

The common people don't have much knowledge, they think Guangxi soldiers are really wolves!

The old artilleryman waved his hand indifferently, and said very confidently.

"of course?"

"I am invincible tomorrow!"

"Since His Royal Highness Jian Guo raised his troops, no matter whether it is against Yang Yi or against Qing captives, he has never lost!"

"The soldiers of the Eight Banners, who were blown to be invincible by the Qing court, were annihilated by tens of thousands before and after the Ming Dynasty, and countless green battalion soldiers were counted."

"The fart is invincible, that's all!"

"If you put a knife in the bucket, you will still die. If you are next to a gun, you will die."

"lose?"

"How could I lose!"

"My Daming will never lose!"

The kind of self-confidence that is taken for granted came to my face.

Li Tianguang and others were shocked!

Looking at the old artillery soldier who was not too tall, but was very strong and burly, Li Tianguang and others couldn't help feeling awed.

The figure of the old artilleryman suddenly became taller!
……

"Report to General, Wuzhou Mansion is not far ahead!"

"The vanguard of our army came into contact with the sentry cavalry of the Qing army. The Qing army retreated after the first battle, and has now retreated into Wuzhou City. It seems that we must defend the city!"

Liu Shantai was riding on horseback, holding a telescope in his hand and looking into the distance.

In front of him, a sentry cavalry of the Ming army reported.

Looking away, Liu Shantai nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"Pass down the order and prepare to attack the city!"

……

ps: First of all, I would like to wish the book friend Liren Aisi a happy birthday.

I'm sorry, Gagen didn't do what I promised today.

There are still only three more!
But it will be added tomorrow.

All kinds of begging for support.
