Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Therefore, after six months of guidance, I made rapid progress."

"Most of the new recruits didn't have the same foundation as Shi Jin,"

"Plus, I don't have time to teach them individually,"

"Therefore, it is difficult for a master like Shi Jin to emerge from among the new recruits."

"Even if it were, it certainly wouldn't have been taught by me."

"Moreover, Shi Jin has already gone to the battlefield,"

"He's probably improving faster, so it's hard to say."

"If it were Shi Jin now,"

"I'm a new recruit who's been training for six months,"

"Ten of them should be able to stop Shi Jin."

Zhao Yuan had also witnessed Shi Jin's martial arts skills.

Ordinary people, even a few dozen, probably couldn't get close to Shi Jin.

Ten new recruits could stop Shi Jin.

That's pretty good too.

Zhao Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, are there many people dropping out of recruit camp?"

Within ten days of enlisting, new recruits

Those who cannot withstand the training

You can exit.

Once ten days have passed

Everyone was a soldier of the Great Liang Dynasty.

If there is escape,

They were treated as deserters.

This was a system established by Zhao Yuan to address the issue of desertion.

The problem of desertion among soldiers was very serious in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This is why the Northern Song Dynasty was forced to tattoo characters on the faces of its soldiers.

To prevent soldiers from deserting.

The Liang dynasty abolished the practice of tattooing characters on tattoos.

Soldiers should not be treated like exiled prisoners.

This is very popular.

However, it also makes it easier for soldiers to escape.

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song,

Treacherous officials seize power.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities

This resulted in a large number of displaced people in various places.

In addition, given the current chaotic situation,

Many state government operations have been affected.

Many soldiers did not have household registration certificates.

It's difficult to even find out a soldier's real name.

Not to mention being wanted.

Therefore, while Zhao Yuan improved the treatment of his soldiers,

On the one hand, it also gives a chance to those who are not determined.

Those who quit within ten days

That is, the one with the weakest will.

The rest will mostly follow the crowd.

Grit your teeth and persevere.

Until you get used to it.

Wang Jin shook his head and said, "Very few."

"The food in the military camp alone attracted 80% of the people,"

"In addition to the generous pay,"

"Except for a few lazy, good-for-nothing idlers,"

"Most people think this is a good job."

The people of the Central Plains have always been able to endure hardship.

They are also easy to satisfy.

Training was no more tiring than working for a rich man.

And the salary was more than the wages paid by the landlord.

Even if there are injuries or fatalities, there is still protection.

This was undoubtedly the best job they had ever heard of.

Zhao Yuan did not go to the military camp for the next few days.

Now he is the God of War of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Myths passed down orally

His occasional appearances make those fortunate enough to see him feel incredibly lucky.

Then just brag about it to others.

There's no need to make yourself look like something from a street stall.

You can see it anytime.

He only needs to maintain his myth of invincibility.

Through the veterans' recounting,

He is a god in the army.

A god worshipped by all.

Although the veteran's story wasn't as eloquent as a storyteller's.

But its strength lies in its authenticity.

It also makes it easier for people to believe.

That day, Zhao Yuan was compiling his Great Liang dictionary when...

News came from the Crafts Institute.

The problem of transporting gunpowder has been solved.

Zhao Yuan immediately led a troop of personal guards to the workshop.

I don't need personal guards to protect me.

Instead, he would have his own troops clear the way.

After the Liang dynasty took control of Tokyo,

No one dared to run rampant in the street.

All those who injured civilians were punished according to the law.

Anyone who kills someone in a traffic accident will be executed.

Chapter 1810 Gunpowder Has Improved?

After a month,

The people in the city no longer avoid carriages and horses as they used to.

Instead, they went their own way.

When the people behind call out,

They slowly made way.

If Zhao Yuan travels alone...

Even though he was riding a horse

They can't walk fast either.

He can only bring one squad of personal guards.

The simple, honest people still know where this kind of life comes from.

People will give way to anyone wearing a military uniform.

With guards clearing the way,

They soon arrived at the gunpowder workshop of the craftsmen's workshop.

Gunpowder bureaus existed as early as the Song Dynasty.

However, the gunpowder used in the Song Dynasty was not very powerful.

Firearms were not widely used.

Therefore, the gunpowder bureau did not hold a high position.

However, the gunpowder bureau of Daliang was the most important department of the Craftsmen's Institute.

Ling Zhen was appointed as the superior officer.

His subordinates are all carefully selected and reliable people.

even so,

Most people are just doing the purification work.

Only a few people can prepare gunpowder.

Soldiers guarded the gunpowder depot from ten paces away.

Without the Emperor's or Prince Liang's token,

Even a commander of ten thousand men could not enter the gunpowder depot.

After Ling Zhen sent out the message,

They waited in the courtyard.

Upon seeing Zhao Yuan arrive,

He greeted them with a loud laugh.

Open your palm.

"solved."

Zhao Yuan noticed that Ling Zhen was holding some granular gunpowder.

"Has it been tested?"

Ling Zhen nodded and said, "I just tried it outside the city this morning."

"The explosive power has not diminished at all."
