In the early morning of the next day, a cavalry guard under the command of Man Gui found Lin Yuhao who lived in Sun Yuanhua's house, and said that it was the order of the governor to summon Lin Yuhao alone in the side hall of Ningyuan government office.

Hearing this order, Lin Yuhao knew that the business was coming.Yesterday at the Ningyuan shooting range, Lin Yuhao knew that Sun Chengzong was near the shooting range, and he saw Sun Yuanhua try to shoot the Thunder Rifle he bought.Moreover, Superintendent Sun must have inquired about the source of the Thunder Rifle long ago, so he summoned him alone early in the morning.

Lin Yuhao had the habit of waking up early to exercise, so as soon as he heard the orderer's words, Lin Yuhao immediately changed into his official robe and went to the Ningyuan government office with the orderer to meet Sun Chengzong.

When I came to the side hall of the Ningyuan government office, there was no one except Sun Chengzong.When Sun Chengzong saw Lin Yuhao coming, he also said with a smile on his face: "Lord Lin, come and sit down quickly. This time, the supervisor came to you because I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Yuhao took three steps forward and bowed to Sun Chengzong to salute, "I've seen Lord Superintendent."

Sun Chengzong waved his hand to signal that he didn't want these red tapes, and then he shouted to the outside of the hall: "Come here, serve tea."

Lin Yuhao had no choice but to sit down on the chair on the right, and soon a servant from the government office brought a cup of brewed tea.

Sun Chengzong asked Lin Yuhao with a smile after taking a sip of the tea in the cup: "Master Lin, I heard that you have skilled craftsmen who can make new firearms. Is it true?"

Lin Yuhao replied solemnly: "Returning to Master Supervisor, there is indeed such a thing. Master Sun Yuanhua, who is in charge of Ningyuan's city defense arrangement, has already bought four new firearms from Xiaguan."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong nodded in satisfaction and continued: "Master Lin, if my supervisor buys from you, is there any stock in stock?"

When Lin Yuhao heard this, he immediately filled his profiteering value and said, "Of course this is not a problem, but it's just a big matter. The supervisor may have to go to the court."

When Sun Chengzong heard that Lin Yuhao had the stock in hand, he was overjoyed: "Well, I have already inquired about it. The new firearm is called the Thunder Rifle. One is 60 taels of silver, and one hundred rounds of bullets is a total of one tael of silver. If I want to Buying in bulk, I don’t know how long it will take to deliver.”

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Lin Yuhao also thought about it carefully and said: "Anyone who needs a strong army and fine martial arts must first sharpen his weapons if he wants to do a good job. I can deliver four thousand thunderbolts to your lord within nine months." Rifles, each thunder rifle is equipped with [-] rounds of ammunition, the training of the new army must be consumed, and I can also give each gun an additional [-] bullets for test shooting. Adults can use this batch of thunder rifles to train new soldiers Army, the new army can achieve success after five or six months of training at most, so the situation in Liaodong will definitely improve."

Hearing that Lin Yuhao said that he could deliver [-] Thunderbolt rifles and a large amount of ammunition within nine months, he was very happy, and asked, "How does Lord Lin think the new army should be formed?"

Hearing that Sun Chengzong asked himself about the formation and training of the new army, he didn't expect it. After a little thought, he tried to say: "Your Excellency, you can choose 7000 soldiers who have used firearms or have fair archery skills in the army. One is Let them learn how to use the Thunder Rifle in advance, and then assess whether they are proficient in using the Thunder Rifle. Give them ten rounds of bullets and let them shoot targets. Those who have nine out of ten rounds and reach 85 are excellent, and those who have seven out of ten rounds and have reached 65 Those with rings are medium, and those who have five out of ten shots and reach 45 rings are auxiliary soldiers in the army. The rest can be eliminated and returned to the original army. In this way, each of the 1 Thunder Riflemen selected from the best will be matched with two auxiliary soldiers , a new army of [-] people can be quickly formed."

Hearing Lin Yuhao say so much, Sun Chengzong thought for a while and asked: "The new army needs experienced people for training, and the auxiliary soldiers also need defensive equipment. How to solve this."

Lin Yuhao said without hesitation: "Master Mao Yuanyi and Mr. Sun Yuanhua, who are proficient in using Thunder Rifle, can be responsible for the training of the new army. I plan to equip them with fine steel pulley bows for the auxiliary soldiers. The auxiliary soldiers are mainly to help the rifles If a soldier carries spare bullets and drinking water and food, if he is equipped with a steel pulley bow, it is enough for self-defense."

As soon as Lin Yuhao mentioned the fine steel pulley bow, Sun Chengzong said again: "I know the fine steel pulley bow. Didn't you give it as a gift to Deputy Commander Man? With such a sharp weapon to equip the auxiliary soldiers, great things can be expected for Liaodong .”

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was happy, Lin Yuhao timely proposed a plan to attack the food storage point for slaves in winter: "Master Supervisor, I still have something to report."

Hearing Lin Yuhao's report, Sun Chengzong, who was in a good mood, also raised his hand to signal Lin Yuhao to speak quickly.

Lin Yuhao took a sip of tea and said, "Master Supervisor, I plan to attack Jiannu again when winter comes, and attack their food storage points. This time I will go to Shanhaiguan to select refugees, and only look for those who have blood feuds with Jiannu." , and brave refugees who dared to fight Jiannu to the death, and bring them back to Dalian Village where I am.”

When Sun Chengzong heard about Lin Yuhao's plan, he knew that he would not talk nonsense, so he asked calmly, "Is the information reliable? How sure?"

Lin Yuhao said seriously: "The information is absolutely reliable, and I have a [-]% certainty that this matter will be done at present."

Hearing that Lin Yuhao was [-]% sure of accomplishing this, Sun Chengzong immediately nodded and said: "Okay, I will implement according to your plan. My supervisor is waiting for your good news in Shanhaiguan."

Hearing that Sun Chengzong agreed to this matter, Lin Yuhao immediately stood up and bowed to salute: "I would like to obey the order of the supervisor."

Afterwards, Sun Chengzong talked with Lin Yuhao about the purchase of the Thunder Rifle, and then asked Lin Yuhao to return to Dalian Village to organize people to come to Shanhaiguan to receive refugees.

Two days later, Lin Yuhao, who had negotiated the first arms deal, returned to Dalian Village with Wang Huaibao and Zhang Tianhua.And on the third day after returning to Dalian Village, he took Zhang Tianhua, Yang Dayou, Yang Shihu and Wei Dabao together and set off to Shanhaiguan to select and receive refugees.

About ten days later, Lin Yuhao came to Shanhaiguan, and met Sun Chengzong again in the side hall of Liaodong Jinglue's mansion.As soon as he saw Sun Chengzong, Lin Yuhao leaned over and saluted: "I have seen Lord Supervisor, Lord Supervisor. This time, I came to Shanhaiguan and brought a batch of Thunder rifles and weapons to Lord Supervisor. Bullet. Please take a look at it, Master Supervisor."

When Sun Chengzong heard that Lin Yuhao had brought a batch of Thunderbolt rifles and bullets when he came to Shanhaiguan, he was also very happy and said: "Quickly ask someone to bring them, I want to take a good look at them."

So Lin Yuhao immediately called Wang Huaibao and asked him to ask Wei Dabao to bring in the three boxes containing the Thunder rifle and a box full of bullets with the whole team.

Lin Yuhao accompanied Sun Chengzong to the boxes containing Thunderbolt rifles and bullets. Lin Yuhao reached out and used the key to unlock the copper lock on the box, and then stepped aside for Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong stepped forward to look inside the box, and sure enough, there were six Thunder rifles in the box, and there were three boxes here, a total of eighteen Thunder rifles.Then look at the opened bullet box next to it. There are six boxes of bullets in it, and each box has ten bullet clips for a total of [-] rounds of bullets.

After seeing so many guns and bullets, Sun Chengzong asked happily: "Master Lin, is this the first batch of guns delivered? You are building guns quite fast."

Originally, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, privately manufacturing guns was a capital offense and would be punished by the nine clans.But now the situation in Liaodong is corrupt and wars are raging. If you care about such things at this time, no one will dare to serve the court in the future.

Lin Yuhao shook his head and said: "Returning to Master Supervisor, these are not the first batch of guns to be delivered. These guns were donated by the officials. The main reason is that more people under the command of Master Supervisor will learn how to use them first. The Thunder Rifle, so that more people will join in to help the Master Supervisor when the new army is rehearsing in the future."

Hearing Lin Yuhao's words, Sun Chengzong liked this subordinate who was very capable of dealing with affairs from the bottom of his heart: "Master Lin is very righteous, alright, then I will accept it."

Then Sun Chengzong said again: "Lord Lin, the head reward and the starting silver for your attack on the slaves have been allocated in place this time. As for the matter of training the new army, the governor has also reported to the court to ask the court to allocate funds. The governor also returned A new banner was given to the new army, called Shanhaiguan Volunteer Guard. The staffing is the same as what we discussed before, and I also reported to the court that I hope that the new army can be selected from the entire Liaodong area. I estimate that it will be a month at most. Got a reply."

Hearing Sun Chengzong's words, Lin Yuhao didn't quite agree with them in his heart. All kinds of party struggles are still going on fiercely in the entire Ming court, and people from the Donglin Party and the Imperial Party are arguing with each other more often.How could it be possible to get a reply within a month, at least until the Chinese New Year is approaching.What's more, the establishment of the new army, the people in the capital have to try their best to insert their own descendants, how can they make money if they don't do this.The corruption of the Ming Dynasty is rotten to the root. If the preparation and training of the new army requires 68 taels of silver, 68 taels will be paid out, and 48 taels will be shipped out of the capital. It is estimated that only 30 taels will be able to reach Liaodong.This is the terrible level of corruption in the Ming court, plucking the feathers of geese and sucking the bones of the people, so the formation of a new army is still a matter of nonsense.The final facts also proved that Lin Yuhao still overestimated the horror of the party struggle within the Ming Dynasty, and agreed to form a new army. Arriving in Liaodong, Tianqi did not send the last final payment to Liaodong in February of the fourth year. The total amount was 56 taels of silver. However, Lin Yuhao learned later that the imperial court actually allocated a total of 86 taels of silver to form a new army. The 20 taels of silver were taken into their pockets by officials at all levels in Ming Dynasty.In May of the fourth year of Tianqi, Lin Yuhao delivered to Sun Chengzong all the thunder rifles and bullets needed to form a new army.But fortunately, after the establishment of the new army, most of the officers at all levels in the army were newcomers who were promoted by Sun Chengzong under all kinds of pressure and countless memorials to impeach him in the court.Of course, Lin Yuhao also played a great role in helping him. Why, the Ming court was arguing endlessly, but this matter did not affect Lin Yuhao, a small general who was from the eighth grade Zanhua.He used all available time to continuously expand his strength, and he also looked for opportunities to do things on Jiannu's territory everywhere. Therefore, it is very strange that from the third year of Tianqi to October of the fourth year of Tianqi, Jiannu in Liaodong did not come back. Come to Liaodong to do things.

Lin Yuhao didn't express his thoughts, but continued to say respectfully: "Master Supervisor, can I start selecting refugees and bring them back to Dalian Village this afternoon?"

Sun Chengzong knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he nodded immediately and said: "Of course, Master Lin can choose the Liaodong refugees who are interesting to take away. The thing you said last time must be done well, so that the supervisor will also have a smile on his face." Light!"

Of course, Lin Yuhao knew what that matter was referring to, and immediately bent over and cupped his hands and said, "I would like to follow the orders of my lord supervisor. If the matter fails to be completed, I would like to come and see you."

When Sun Chengzong heard Lin Yuhao's guarantee, he encouraged him: "I don't want Mr. Lin to come to see you. Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs, and my supervisor will not blame you."

Of course, Sun Chengzong would not blame Lin Yuhao. He only had so many people under his command, and the courage to take the initiative to attack and build slaves was not comparable to the generals in Liaodong with heavy troops in their hands.If anyone dares to talk more, that's fine, you are capable, and you can take the initiative to lead an attack on Jian Nu and make some gains and come back to the supervisor to see.

At noon, Lin Yuhao took his team to take a good rest at the Shanhaiguan post. After lunch, he went to Shanhaiguan where the Liaodong refugees gathered to pick out the refugees he liked.
