Sun Wukong practiced for an entire afternoon before teaching them all the postures. They all learned very well. Sun Wukong believed that they would be able to become masters tomorrow.

About three months later, in Sun Wukong's barracks, a large group of soldiers wearing black clothes and red belts stood in an orderly manner on the playground.

The military camps are now different. There are many modern training equipment on the playground. These are what Sun Wukong learned from watching TV.

Now Sun Wukong equipped each soldier with a special dagger, a long sword and a red tassel spear. When the recruits had been in training for one month, Sun Wukong began to teach them how to fight.

The first thing Sun Wukong taught them was the military boxing, but Sun Wukong mixed some Turtle-style martial arts into the military boxing, which made it look smoother. Then they taught them how to use the sword and the red tassel spear.

In addition to repeatedly training basic movements every day, they would practice against each other. There was also a large piece of land behind them. Sun Wukong asked them to plant some drought-resistant crops and also specially planted windbreaks.

Today is the end of the three-month recruit period. Sun Wukong will select nearly one hundred people from these people to go to the yamen. The constables in the yamen are all serving as platoon leaders here. They are not used to the barracks, so they want to go back to the yamen to do their work and prepare to retire.

This requires selecting new platoon leaders and squad leaders from among the recruits to take up the vacant positions.

There were only five old men in the yamen, so Sun Wukong planned to take twenty-five of them to be constables and fifteen to be jailers. Three months ago, Sun Wukong had arrested a large number of people, and there were only five jailers in the prison, so they were unable to take care of them all.

Now the yamen doesn't even have a constable. Fortunately, nothing has happened in the past three months. Slowly the yamen will start to operate. Yangping is not very peaceful. If it weren't for my big action three months ago that scared off some people who slipped through the net, there might be some petty thefts in Yangping from time to time.

There are also sixty people divided into three shifts, who take turns in three shifts. Ten people patrol the county town each time, and ten people patrol outside the county town and the city gate to observe whether there are any abnormalities, and strictly check outsiders entering and leaving.

Sun Wukong transferred one of the two squads of clerks and took him to the county government office to serve as clerks and accountants.

Now, apart from the logistics department, the only people in the barracks are Sun Wukong's elite troops. They will have to rely on them in the future. Sun Wukong started recruiting troops again a few days ago. This time, nearly three thousand people signed up, so Sun Wukong can form an independent regiment.

It was directly divided into 300 classes, 100 platoons, 25 companies, five battalions, and one regiment. Together with the previous veterans, there were six battalions in total.

These people had heard that new recruits could get one tael of silver, and after three months they could get three taels of silver, and could get more after completing their service. They also heard that there were bonuses every year, so they directly reported three thousand people this time. Now Sun Wukong was not going to recruit any more people because he thought that Yangping could not afford to support them.

Sun Wukong had been searching for mineral resources near Yangping for three months. His hard work paid off. After three months of searching, Sun Wukong finally found what he wanted. Saltpeter, nitre, potassium saltpeter and sodium nitrate were the main ingredients. These were the main ingredients for gunpowder. Sun Wukong wanted to make gunpowder. With gunpowder, he could make powerful cannons and bombs.

He wanted to build a modern and powerful team to crush the cold weapon teams in the world with hot weapons. The other two ingredients of gunpowder are sulfur and charcoal. Charcoal is easy to get, and sulfur is also available in Yangping, so Sun Wukong can study gunpowder.

Sun Wukong also planned to specially train archers and artillerymen, and once he successfully made a musket, he would make sure to equip everyone with one.

In an open space in the military camp, which was an undeveloped area, Sun Wukong had people set up a simple research laboratory in the tent.

Sun Wukong recruited scholars and people who liked isolated islands from the new recruits to form a research department. Usually they only need to go for morning runs together, and at other times they only need to conduct research here.

“Let me explain these ingredients to you.”

Sun Wukong pointed at the colorless crystals and said, "This is called saltpeter, this yellow one is called sulfur, and everyone should know this charcoal!"

"Um"

"Captain, I don't know what the use of these is."

Sun Wukong is now the leader of their Yangping First Independent Regiment, so everyone calls him that now.

"Building weapons that can change the world"

"Using these, it's impossible," someone asked in disbelief.

“Let me show you a demonstration first.”

Sun Wukong picked up the bamboo tube he had prepared long ago, crushed the charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter, mixed them thoroughly and added them into the bamboo tube.

"Come with me and see the power of this thing."

Sun Wukong stuffed the bamboo tube with something, leaving a small gap, and stuffed a cotton thread soaked in gunpowder into the small gap. Then Sun Wukong led the research department to the open space outside.

Sun Wukong put the bamboo tube on the ground, then took out a fire starter and lit the cotton fuse. The fuse burned quickly, making a sizzling sound.

"Stay away!"

Sun Wukong led everyone to push the fire more than ten meters away. The fuse he made was a bit long and it has only just burned out.

boom!

There was a loud bang, and the place where the bamboo tube was just placed suddenly rose up, stirring up a lot of dust and accompanied by a large number of black shadows.

After the explosion was over, Sun Wukong led the stunned researchers over. The bamboo tube had disappeared and there was a big hole on the ground.

"How about it"

Sun Wukong looked at the people in the research department.

"Captain, you must be a god to be able to invent such an amazing thing."

"This is just science. My ratio is not very good yet, so I need you to help me do experiments to see which ratio can maximize the power. Then replace the bamboo tube with a pottery jar and the iron pipe, and add other stones inside. The fragments will be ejected at the moment of explosion. Even the Huns will be taught a lesson."

Sun Wukong also asked someone to build a new house with bricks. This house was located at the experimental site and could be used for experiments. Its special windows were used specifically for observation. The walls of the small house were very thick because Sun Wukong was worried that the power would be too great during the experiment and someone might get hurt.

Sun Wukong planned to build a kiln factory nearby to burn kilns. He would definitely use the kiln pots to make explosives in the future. After all, iron was so expensive that it was impossible to use only iron. Anyway, they had plenty of loess here.

When making a musket, you can first use that kind of bamboo and learn the musket of the Song Dynasty.
