The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 536 Graduation Exam of the New First Army
"Your Highness, Commander Bai Mu has arrived."

Seeing the end of Jiang Chuan's gun test, Guan Bao, who was waiting straight at the edge of the martial arts field, stepped forward and reported.

Looking at this now heroic leopard boy, Jiang Chuan nodded and said, "Go get some more bullets and two hundred guns."

Guan Bao turned around to get the gun and bullets. Jiang Chuan waved to Bai Mu who was standing aside: "Come and try this new gun."

Bai Mu's meeting this time was a bit darker than the last time, and he looked leaner.However, the temperament has changed a lot.

In the past, his demeanor gave people the feeling of being cold and stern, but now because of the change of responsibilities, he has added a sense of majesty and certainty.

Bai Mu took the revolver in Jiang Chuan's hand, took a box of ammunition from Guan Bao's hand, opened it, and threw the revolver to the left to start reloading.

This pistol has a single barrel and holds six rounds.

Of course, there are also those with double barrels, or even triple barrels, but Jiang Chuan didn't choose that kind, because it consumes too many bullets and is not conducive to long-term combat.

The biggest disadvantage of the revolver is that the rate of fire is too fast, which is not conducive to long-term combat.If you choose a multi-barrel, it will increase the problem.

"Bang bang bang..."

Bai Mu fired three full rounds of bullets before stopping, touching the gun in his hand, with a look of unfinished thought.

"Your Highness, what a great gun." Bai Mu exclaimed.

"Of course it's a good gun. Let's talk about the problem." Jiang Chuan picked up another revolving wheel and practiced aiming at a distant target.

"The rate of fire is too fast. In addition, the actual lethality cannot be seen in the target shooting, so it is not easy to evaluate. But it is indeed much better than the ones that are issued now, especially in terms of ammunition load." Bai Mu seriously evaluation said.

"Basically pertinent. But the biggest advantage of this kind of gun is that it is reliable and won't jam." Jiang Chuan picked up the gun again and explained.

After listening to Jiang Chuan's words, Bai Mu became visibly excited, staring at the gun in his hand, as if he couldn't put it down.

"Don't look, that's why I called you here. It's to equip a batch for your new army. But let's say it first, it's partly distributed, and you will be tested first." Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Mu, and said Knowing what he was thinking, he smiled.

Jiang Chuan knew the generals under him very well now.One movement and one look can tell what they are thinking.

Especially Shanjia and Bai Mu, both commanders of the new army, and they are both near the capital, so they often come to the palace to find Jiang Chuan for equipment, and they are both thinking about the new equipment.

"Thank you, Your Highness, it's just right for our new army to test this gun. Who doesn't know that our new army's shooting training is the best." Bai Mu smiled and patted his chest.

"Don't be complacent. Shanjia said the same thing about their 38th Army when they came yesterday." Jiang Chuan handed the pistol to Guan Bao, turned around and walked towards the office, and Bai Mu hurriedly followed.

As for the pistol that he slipped into his belt, Jiang Chuan also pretended not to see it.

When they came to the office, Qi Xuan served Jiang Chuan and Bai Mu as a secretary, and then quietly stayed aside to sort out the documents.

"Give me the battle report of the Second Army." Jiang Chuan ordered Qi Xuan.

Soon, Qi Xuan quickly found the second army's battle report from a stack of documents on the table and handed it to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan took it and handed it to Bai Mu.

"Look. The Second Army has done a great job this time."

After Bai Mu took the battle report with both hands and quickly read it, his expression was complicated.

"What? Are you not convinced?" Jiang Chuan looked at Bai Mu and said with a smile.

Bai Mu didn't speak, but his expression clearly explained the problem.

"Don't be unconvinced. The Second Army is the earliest new army unit to form an army. Although your new first army is the earliest in terms of organization, but in terms of its combat experience, the Second Army is the veteran of all the new troops. Master, they wiped out Japanese pirates all the way from the sea, and followed Di Qing to the south of the Yangtze River. This time, they severely destroyed the prestige of the Zheng family father and son. This is their ability. It’s okay to be arrogant, but you also need to have corresponding skills. You can’t just If you have arrogance, but your ability is ordinary, then it becomes a joke."

Jiang Chuan took a sip from his teacup and said calmly.

Bai Mu could understand that it was Jiang Chuan who was reminding himself. Immediately he raised his chest, touched his heels, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, Bai Mu will never embarrass the new army. The second army is very strong. But it does not mean that we will always be strong. As long as we give the new army a chance, we will definitely become the best army and the sharpest knife in the hands of His Highness."

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction. What he wanted was to stimulate Bai Mu's competitive spirit, and it seemed to work well.

"Very good, I know you won't let me down. In a few days, you will set off to join forces with the Second Army to attack the southeast and completely solve the Zheng family's father and son. How is the training going now? What stage has it progressed? gone?"

Jiang Chuan asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, the third stage of training has been basically completed, and the infantry coordination of various troops and the cooperation of various units have basically been able to cooperate tacitly. If they are pulled out, they can immediately form combat effectiveness." Bai Mu said in a deep voice.

Jiang Chuan nodded, went to the back of the table and found another document and handed it to Bai Mudao: "Okay, no matter how good the training is, there are many problems that cannot be found. The best training ground for a soldier is still on the battlefield. Look at this, when you lead your troops Before going south, this should be the graduation assessment for you and your new army."

Bai Mu took the document and read it quickly. It was a list of banditry reports from newspapers in some prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi and North Zhili.

In troubled times, bandits and bandits are often rampant.Many of these bandits and thieves were formed by those mountain people who had lost their homes and were displaced, and some were professional.

And many of them are composed of defeated soldiers who have suffered defeats and fled.

Among them were the original Ming army and Li Zicheng's Dashun army.These people roared together in the mountains and forests, and at the beginning they robbed the passing merchants and pedestrians.

However, due to the current lack of government control and military strength, these people gradually became bolder and began to raid and loot some villages, and even massacred them.

The local governments have just recovered, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. They have no way or ability to exterminate these bandits, so they can only keep asking the court for help.

Jiang Chuan is also very troubled by these bandits. He doesn't have too many troops to appease the place.Finally, after much deliberation, I thought of the new army who was training, and planned to use these bandits as a graduation exam for the new army training.

"It's just a group of thieves. The New First Army will definitely wipe them out and relieve His Highness' worries." Bai Mu assured with confidence.

"Okay, but there are so many bandit troubles that you can't solve it alone. The 38th Army will also go together this time. Let's treat it as a competition." Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

Bai Mu's face, which didn't care much at first, suddenly became exciting after being stunned for a moment.
