"Hahaha!"
The men around him were stunned for a moment, and then they all raised their heads and laughed.
Just because although this child is not short in stature, he looks childish, so he can be called a teenager at most.
Look at the men around him who are all tall and strong. Among the crowd, this child does not stand out in the slightest.
The official in charge of recruiting people couldn't help but taunted him: "You're just a baby. You can have a few mouthfuls of milk when you get home. Isn't fighting against Japanese pirates a joke?"
But the child was not afraid at all. He raised his head and said arrogantly: "If you have ambitions, you will not grow old. If you have no ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain!"
"Young Master, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. You may not be my opponent!"
It would have been better not to say this, but as soon as he said this, the men around him immediately laughed and pointed.
But the child suddenly swung his spear, not afraid at all in the face of the ridicule around him.
When Li Yi saw this, he also admired the child very much and said lightly: "He is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He is a character."
Upon hearing this, Wu Songjiang immediately asked: "Your Majesty, would you like me to go over and talk to you."
"No, let's take another look." Li Yi stood up and walked over. He wanted to see if this young man was really capable, or was he just a big talker?
Among the big men around, there were also masters of martial arts, and they immediately shouted: "Okay, I am a bit thin-faced even in this hundred-mile radius. Why don't you practice with me? If you can resist one of my moves, I will recruit you into the army."
The young man didn't say much. He flicked the big gun in his hand and raised the gun head suddenly with a deafening sound.
Seeing this, the big man's face also became fierce, and he was so strong with his gun.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, someone immediately threw a red tassel gun, and he immediately started playing.
"Your Majesty, who do you think will win?" Wu Songjiang asked.
Li Yi smiled softly, "This big man's marksmanship looks like he's dancing like a tiger, but in fact it's just a useless showmanship. It's actually a young man's big gun, full of murderous intent."
Wu Songjiang shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you were wrong this time. That man is not an ordinary person. I have seen his marksmanship and it is very powerful."
"Really?" Li Yi nodded and smiled, already having the result in his mind.
"Please!" The man flicked the gun and said contemptuously: "I give you three moves."
But instead the young man curled his lips and opened his mouth and said: "You'd better not use this gun to fight the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are good at using long knives, and the long knives are extremely sharp. Your gun will break with just one cut?"
Hearing this, the big man was immediately angry, "Xio's nonsense, what you say is unfounded, but you can see the truth behind your hands!"
The young man swung his big gun and pulled a spear into his arm. The gun shot out like a dragon, powerful and sharp.
Just this pistol technique immediately attracted cheers from the surroundings.
Even the big man just now was stunned. A layman looked at the excitement, and an expert looked at the door. He also realized that the big gun in the young man's hand was very powerful, and the fire was not weak.
He immediately stopped holding back and shouted, "Look at the gun!"
The red tassel gun instantly rose into the air, and the gun was not weak, whistling and stabbing at the young man.
The young man swung his gun to take advantage of the situation, raised the gun, and took advantage of the situation, forcing the big man to hold back his red-tasseled gun.
"Bang bang bang!"
After a few rounds, the red tassel gun in the big man's hand became chaotic, and he could only resist but was unable to parry.
The young man shot out, instantly knocking back the big man. The big man retreated dozens of steps and stopped.
He boasted that his marksmanship was not bad, but when he was defeated by a young man, he immediately lost his composure.
The young man nodded and saluted with clasped fists, "Qi Hu from Jiangnan Province, I accept the concession!"
Well-founded, young hero.
The people around him all applauded and praised him repeatedly.
The big man was also sincerely convinced, "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, and I admire them. I admire them."
Li Yi couldn't help but nod, and immediately said: "I want this young man."
When Cao Qingyan heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and couldn't help but look at the young man one more time.
The people who are valued today are not the best among people.
For example, Cao Fengyang, Suoyi, Guo Polu and Guo Pofeng are all young people.
But His Majesty has entrusted them with important responsibilities. They are young and occupy high positions.
I'm afraid that this young man will also leap forward and become a powerful figure in the Gale Dynasty.
That’s right!
Li Yi planned to recruit troops in Jiangnan Province, so he naturally needed generals to lead them. Veterans from Jiangnan Province were by no means Li Yi's first choice, and these young men with grassroots backgrounds were definitely the most suitable candidates.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and there was constant abuse.
"Boy, what do you mean, do you want to jump in line?"
"So what if I jump in line?"
"..."
Hearing the noise, Li Yi followed the sound and saw a big man and a young man facing each other.
Although the young man was young and even had snot on his face, he was not afraid and his eyes were blazing. The big man raised his hand and grabbed the young man's arm and pressed down, but the young man did not move at all.
The young man raised his hand, flicked it effortlessly, and took the big man out two or three steps.
The big man immediately knew that the man in front of him was a master, and immediately became scared and turned around and left.
"What a great strength!" Li Yi couldn't help but praise.
Even though this young man looks thin, he is surprisingly strong.
He just pushed through the crowd, walked to the front, and said, "Wei Ya from Jiangnan Province, I am the one who kills the Japanese pirates."
There was another uproar all around.
Fortunately, the young man named Qi Hu just now was not short and his marksmanship was outstanding, so he was pretty good.
Then this young man is outrageous. He is thin and has a runny nose. No matter how strong he is, it is useless. On the battlefield, strong strength is not enough.
This young man also followed Qi Hu's example, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "I, Wei Ya, am also a young hero. I must be counted in the plan to fight against Japan."
"I want to go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese pirates!"
He deliberately pronunciated the last sentence.
Li Yi felt happy when he saw it. He liked these young men, and only young men were the future of the Gale Dynasty.
"It's a bit interesting. It's getting more and more interesting."
When Wu Songjiang and Cao Qingyan heard this, they couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When His Majesty said it was interesting, he meant he was very happy.
Especially Wu Songjiang, there are so many talents under his rule. Isn't it because of his reputation as a parent official?
Qi Hu looked at Wei Ya and snorted, "This kid is really crazy. I don't know if he is really capable or just bragging."
He immediately retorted: "Going to the battlefield is not a fight. If you use your bare hands, you will die miserably."
The official in charge of recruiting also nodded and said: "Yes, you know how to use weapons. The battlefield is not a child's play, it is not a joke."
Wei Ya snorted coldly, "Dancing with swords and guns is already outdated."
"Today's new army of 100,000 people is being trained, and most of them are firearms. Strong bows and crossbows have taken a back seat. The era of cold weapons has passed."
As soon as this statement came out, the arrogant words immediately aroused great dissatisfaction among the people around him.
Almost everyone present was dominated by Leng Weapon. Wei Ya immediately rejected Leng Weapon, which meant he rejected them.
Qi Hu showed no emotion and anger, and immediately retorted: "Nonsense, today's training of the new army is indeed mainly based on firearms, but it does not mean to abandon cold weapons, but to make use of strong points to compensate for weak points. There is no priority. That is Dang Tianzi is also a martial arts master who is good at using long swords. Do you think Dang Tianzi is not good at it either?"
"Nonsense, when did I say that Your Majesty can't do it anymore!"
Wei Ya's expression changed. He couldn't bear the crime of insulting the emperor, so he immediately shouted: "Bring me my weapons, so you can see what I have done."
Several children of similar age ran over quickly holding a strange firecracker and handed it to Wei Ya.
"Fire gun?" Li Yi was surprised. There were not many such things among the people. Firearms were not prohibited in the Gale Dynasty, but firearms were not of much use among the people. On the contrary, they were not as useful as bows and crossbows.
The people around him also talked a lot, but most of them were contemptuous and contemptuous.
Among the city patrol troops in Jiangnan Province, firearms account for a very small proportion, and most soldiers still use bows and crossbows.
On the other hand, the usage rate of firearms by Japanese pirates is frighteningly high.
Almost everyone has one.
Li Yi also noticed that the fire gun in Wei Ya's hand had a strange shape, with a disc-like belly on the back, which seemed to have been modified.
"Let me show you what a fire gun is!" Wei Ya suddenly raised his gun and fired.
A willow tree as thick as a person in the distance snapped, and with a bang, the upper body was snapped in half.
"Wow!"
So powerful.
Before anyone could react, the firearm in Wei Ya's hand made an explosive sound again.
"Bang bang bang!"
Five times in a row.
Four more trees were blocked.
Now everyone was shocked.
Ordinary fire blunderbuss are fired once and then reinstalled with gunpowder. What happened to the fire blunderbuss in this kid's hand? Can it shoot continuously?
Li Yi's expression changed. He was not from this era, and he could see at a glance what was unusual about the gun in Wei Ya's hand.
That's a five-shot burst!
This is the originator of later revolvers.
The problem that even the Mohist giant Shang Wanning could not overcome was actually overcome by this kid.
Talent!
Others present were also shocked and looked at the firecracker in Wei Ya's hand.
Naturally, Li Yi didn't try to give in. He pushed away the crowd and observed carefully.
The barrel of this fire blunderbuss is very long, but the aperture is very small. It is much smaller than the fire blunderbuss currently equipped by dragoons. It also has a front sight and a rear sight.
Wei Ya looked proud, "You haven't seen it before, I modified it. I'm not bragging, even the firecrackers prepared by His Majesty's new army are not as good as mine!"
Hearing this, Cao Qingyan and Suo Yi were immediately displeased, but Li Yi nodded in agreement, "That's right, the firecrackers equipped by His Majesty are not as good as yours."
"Let's do this. I'll buy your fire gun for how much money you have."
"Who are you?"
"Why should I sell it to you!" Wei Ya didn't buy it at all and was extremely arrogant.
Li Yi had already guessed it, and immediately said: "I want to make friends with you two young heroes. Do you agree?"
