In a camp outside Shanying City, soldiers were undergoing training. Most of them were locals. Under the command of the commander, they uniformly raised their muskets and aimed and fired at the target in front of them.
After a burst of shooting, green smoke filled the air, and clouds of gunfire surrounded the venue.
"Nine!"
"three!"
"six!"
The recording soldier inspects the targets one by one, records each person's shooting results, and then reports them to the superior.
Since the arrival of craftsmen and technicians supported by Carites, a musket production line was finally completed two months later.
In the tall red brick house, workers and women skillfully assemble these steel equipment. Then in the factory on the other side, the gunpowder produced by the new salt-making method is made into granules, and then pressed with the assistance of machinery.
into bullets.
Lorraine Hill was wearing a dress with a white background and blue edges, standing on a high platform in the factory, overlooking the entire workshop, and then recording data in the book in his hand from time to time.
With her extraordinary gift of perception, she can clearly understand the movements of almost every worker and staff member, and can even be keenly aware of which position they are more suitable for...
With the assistance of this special talent, the operating efficiency of these factories has almost reached the highest level. All personnel, from top to bottom, work together as one, and can devote all their energy to production without worrying about interruptions from other things.
After the harvest, the people's morale in the territory has been greatly stabilized.
They may not understand any big principles or have a very high consciousness, but at least they have a simple philosophy of life. If you provide me with what I need and allow me to live and work in peace and contentment without being famined or oppressed, then I will obey and protect you.
everything.
As a result, the first group of people who were loyal to the organization began to take shape, and with generous incomes and food guarantees, these people were gradually willing to join the army and join the ranks of protecting the fruits of labor.
When people have nothing, they naturally don't care about resistance and struggle, because they have nothing to lose. But after they have tangible wealth, they can't bear to have it taken away by others.
Under the propaganda and education of the "Drywood" organization, these people gradually understood the source of their misfortune and the source of everything they have gained today.
"If the imperial rule is allowed to continue, everything will return to the past. Hunger, poverty, humiliation, oppression... will all drown us again!"
In the large open space, the farmers who had finished their busy work were sitting on the dry grass, listening to the white-robed personnel on the high platform shouting loudly.
The language is not complicated, the principles are simple, and the cause-and-effect relationships gradually become clear.
"Are we still going to live in those humble days?"
"Are you willing to hunker down and kneel under their horses' hooves forever and ever, praying for a little mercy?"
“Are you willing to go hungry, endure frostbite, and search for meager firewood in the cold and snowy mountains?”
"Stop dreaming and fantasizing. They can't defeat their greed. As long as such a system and rules exist, those people will never take the initiative to give up their interests."
"The world is like this. If you want to get something, you should stand up and fight for it instead of sitting in a corner and crying."
"Who can be moved by your tears? Are they the naive and ignorant children, or do you still believe that those people are innocent children who can be moved by your cheap tears?"
"Only the surging violence and life-killing bullets can make them truly realize their mistakes and create a new world in which you and I can live safely."
The autumn wind swept through the golden fields, and some wheat ears in the fields rolled up, and then flew into the distant sky.
In the season after the harvest, the nobles of Longjiao Province discovered that they had been placed under house arrest for some time.
The guards at the door and the people around them seemed to have changed overnight. These familiar and unfamiliar faces took over everything in the territory.
They were forced to board a carriage and go to the Viscounty of Wenlani, where there would be a unified place to house them. However, compared with the past, I am afraid there would be no one to serve them and provide daily living.
The members of the 'Drywood' organization gradually expanded, and many of them came from the local area. After they took over the territory, they understood the people's demands and needs, as well as the current situations better than the nobles.
In this way, even though Ryukaku Province still belongs to the empire on the surface, the actual controllers have changed.
"Such a situation can be concealed for about 1-3 weeks, and then sooner or later the empire will discover it."
In the meeting hall, members wearing white robes were sitting in the meeting hall, discussing the next action together.
"The primary goal now is to capture the capital of the lower province, Gunuo City, where thousands of imperial soldiers are stationed."
"If we take it, there will be more than ten cannons in the city that can be used by us."
"Is it a surprise attack from inside or outside, or is it to defeat them on the battlefield?" A scholar in white robe asked several core members in front.
Lu Bin pushed up his glasses and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned over the pages in his hand and began to analyze.
"We currently have a total of 4,000 trained personnel, of which about 1,600 are qualified soldiers. The other 2,400 are currently only considered reserve personnel. Their psychological and military literacy preparations for facing war are not enough."
"If you want to defeat the enemy on the frontal battlefield, you need sufficient firepower or combat effectiveness, but we currently don't have either."
"But if other foreign aid is used to intervene strongly, it may be possible to barely win, but it will also leave hidden dangers and make people doubt whether the organization is strong enough to face various tests. At the same time, it will also bias the views of the organization members, Shen Mian
It is based on personal heroism and runs counter to the original intention of the establishment of the organization."
"Compared with other rough and reckless resistance forces, the remnants of the Baskar family, our distinctive and advanced organizational concepts are what make us unique."
"In the future, we are destined to expand to the entire southern border and even the entire empire. During this period, we need to conquer a large number of swaying middle forces and let more people at the bottom believe in us. Only in this way can we grow rapidly like a snowball."
"In order to achieve a complete victory, we cannot delay the battle for too long, which means it needs to end within 3-5 years, because the enemy will also learn to improve. Most people are weak, and when life goes by, they will quickly lose
A sense of struggle.”
"To sum up, we need to fight a 'tough battle' to prove our strength, which can greatly inspire the people of surrounding counties and provinces. However, such a battle needs to be arranged perfectly under favorable conditions, so as to achieve positive results.
"
"A tragic victory is not a victory, it is just another lose-lose situation, but the empire can lose countless times, and as long as we lose once, there will be no retreat. If we want to win a minimum degree of independence, we must at least unify the southern border. In this way
Only then can we have enough depth and resources to develop to resist the huge pressure brought by the four major dukes and the royal family."
"The task is very difficult, but I believe that with the joint efforts of the entire organization, it will be successfully accomplished."
"Now, let's get up and sing together!"
"The door to the new world will be opened by all the people. It will abandon nobility, blood, oppression, plunder, and even all injustices, and create an enlightened and just world!"
