Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 37
This year, Honglian Mountain is bustling like never before. One is that the number of people has increased, and another important reason is that the living conditions have been greatly improved.

In the past two years, it was already a luxury to have some meat during the Chinese New Year. This year, meat can be eaten freely.

Alcohol, because General Tang does not want everyone to develop the habit of excessive drinking, so there is a limit, but there are a lot of fruits, candies, etc. to eat and drink.

Because of this, apart from adults, the happiest people are not a group of children.

At night, there are firecrackers and beautiful fireworks, which is really a luxury.

More than a dozen girls, headed by Second Miss Song, looked up at the fireworks blooming in the night sky, chirping and excited.

This year has been very fulfilling, so I feel that time passes quickly.

Once the year is over, the intense and busy training continues. Except for those who were unable to persevere in the early stage and became deserters, those who have persisted until now have basically adapted to the current rhythm, and no longer have the thought of running away.

After all, apart from the hard training, the new army is really good in other aspects. Just living a life with meat every day is something I didn't even dare to think about before.

And there is still a full amount of salary paid every month, although it has been less than a month since the beginning of the training.

But even so, on New Year's Eve, General Tang gave everyone a tael of silver.

So in the first year of training, not only did everyone not complain at all, but they worked harder.

The women and old people in the village also got busy, because General Tang gave them a very important task: making clothes and buying shoes.

Uniform clothes, uniform shoes, for those hard-trained men, General Tang called them military uniforms.

Regarding the style of the military uniform, Tangning had considered it carefully, mainly referring to the military uniforms of later generations, and divided them into combat uniforms and training uniforms.

The combat uniform is mainly camouflage, while the training uniform is mainly pine green, and the main materials are satin and cotton armor.

The satin cloth was imported from the county, and the workshop was specially dyed the color Tangning wanted. For this reason, Tangning personally corrected it a few times.

Cotton armor is the product of the elimination of traditional heavy armor after the emergence of firearms. The material of cotton armor is relatively light and soft, and it is more automatic than traditional armor. It can also resist the shooting of primary firearms after being wet.

At this time, in order to resist firearms, the cotton armor began to be lined with iron sheets and fixed with copper nails on the outside.

Cotton armor is easy to make, and the price is relatively low, and it does not need to be tailored like traditional armor, which is convenient for mass production.

The weight is also relatively light, and it also has good protection against the current firearms. Even if it is shot, the injury is generally not serious.

The reason why later generations no longer use cotton armor is because the development of firearms is too fast, and even the best cotton armor can't stop a bullet, so it is naturally eliminated by the times.

But right now, it's more appropriate.

As for the military boots, Tangning did not borrow from later generations, so she used the brown hemp shoes that are more popular in the south of the Yangtze River to make short boots.

It can also be seen from this that although Tang Ning is a modern person, he will not copy everything from later generations, and will still combine the current situation to learn from each other's strengths.

During this peaceful training, the capital of Chaozhou, including the counties under its jurisdiction, was suddenly turned upside down by a nursery rhyme that was sung.

What kind of nursery rhyme has such power?As long as the officials in Chaozhou heard it, it seemed as if their heads were about to burst.

General Tang on Honglian Mountain, the chosen one has magic soldiers.The Ming Dynasty was exhausted, and it was decided in March this year.

It is sad and deplorable that Emperor Chongzhen lost his life in a white silk.Just wait for the future to hold Mingjun and reproduce the good times of Ming Dynasty.

These four short sentences seem to be full of deep malice towards the Ming Dynasty.

Claiming to be the chosen one, he cursed that the dynasty would perish and the emperor committed suicide.

Just waiting for the Mingjun to be embraced in the future, doesn't it mean that the current emperor is not a Mingjun?This is a great treason, a crime of ransacking one's family and exterminating one's family.

If this is spread to the capital, and His Majesty the Emperor, who is still alive and well, knows, how can they, officials big and small in Chaozhou Prefecture, have any good fruit to eat?

Liu Gong, the magistrate of Chenghai County, knew who wrote this nursery rhyme when he heard it for the first time.

"Tangning, Tangning, I really mistrusted you." Liu Zhixian slapped the table angrily.

The man surnamed Yang looked anxious, and asked quickly: "My lord, sooner or later the higher-ups will know that it was the new army who made the trouble. What should we do now?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhixian's anger suddenly disappeared by half, what should I do?so what?Can you still hit Red Lotus Mountain?

The man surnamed Yang seemed to know the difficulties of Liuzhi County, so he said: "Red Lotus Mountain now cooperates with several shops and workshops in the city, and will send people into the city to buy some things every now and then. Do we want it?"

The meaning of the man surnamed Yang is very clear. Since we can't get to Honglian Mountain, then I don't want to associate with you and cut off your connection with the county.

However, if he did this, he would definitely turn his back on him. If Tangning became angry and attacked the county seat, how long would the county seat be able to resist with the current strength?

Liu Zhixian was very entangled, so he hesitated to issue orders, but this entanglement did not last long.

Because the next day, something more important happened.

Fujian Jiang Shiying openly rebelled, claiming to be [-], crossing Raoping from Zhao'an, and began to attack the counties of Chaozhou Prefecture in a mighty manner, and Chenghai County was also under their troops.

Hearing this news, Liu Gong was shocked. He no longer cared about the new army that hadn't fought over yet, and it was only reasonable to deal with the threat he was facing right now.

However, Liu Zhixian always had the illusion that this Tangning didn't cause trouble sooner or later, but she played up the nursery rhyme before Jiang Shiying's rebellion. Could it be that she had expected it?
Liu Zhixian himself felt that this kind of thinking was a bit ridiculous, but wasn't Tangning exaggerating what happened in the nursery rhyme in anticipation of what would happen in the future?

And it's not too far away, we'll see the outcome in March, if by then it's all nonsense, hasn't Tangning made herself the biggest joke in the world?
This kind of thankless move can only be done by a lunatic or a fool.

Obviously, Tangning was not that kind of person. Instead, she had deep thoughts and foresight.

Because of this, Liu Zhixian had this unreasonable illusion. He was both looking forward to and fearing the arrival of March.

Compared with Liu Zhixian's delusion, everyone in Honglian Mountain was already shocked beyond measure.

Because Tangning had told them publicly years ago that there would be a rebel named Jiang Shiying in the first month of the month.

From Zhao'an County in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, cross Raoping County in Chaozhou Prefecture, and march towards the counties of Chaozhou Prefecture.

Honglian Mountain is located in Chenghai County, so more precautions should be taken.

At that time, there was no warning at all. Who would have thought that it would really happen in less than ten days, and it was not bad at all.

At this time, everyone's doubts about what was said in the nursery rhyme had dissipated a lot, and they believed that Tang Ning was the chosen one, chosen by His Majesty Cheng Zu.

Naturally, Tangning's prestige in Honglian Mountain was further elevated, and gradually became deified.
