The Liao camp was revived and expanded. This matter was taken for granted.

With muskets and cannons as a backing, middle and lower-level officers such as Yang Tai were full of confidence and were increasingly eager for war and were indirectly supportive of the expansion of the army. The people under Guanglu Island did not object, and fighting against the Jin soldiers was a good thing, and their stability also required the protection of the Liao camp.

There were still three brigades in Fuliao Camp, and the captain did not replace them, but each brigade expanded from one or two hundred people to three hundred people per brigade. In addition, the infantry squad of the battalion was expanded to the infantry squadron of the battalion, with a number of 100 people.

The new battalion belongs to the artillery squadron, including internal service transport personnel, with a number of 200 people. Ten howitzers are temporarily set up and two are spare.

A new logistics squadron was established with a number of 200 people, responsible for the logistics work of the infantry brigade.

In total, there were 1,300 people. In addition, Chu Yun also formed a reserve force system. The people under his rule could become reserve force, conduct military training in their daily production and in their spare time, and receive some subsidies from Chu Yun.

The expenditure on expanding the army mainly comes from the income of textile factories. The current textile factories are booming. With the help of the businessman Wang Changyuan's connections, the yarn from the Hirokashima Textile Factory was transported to Houjin, Nanyang, and the Ming Dynasty, and even sold to the Tokugawa Shogunate, which is comparable to a money printing machine.

This is still the case without a steam engine, which shows what unimaginable great benefits the Industrial Revolution brought to the Sun-Down Empire. These benefits will be obtained by Chu Yun in this era.

"You will be the captain of the artillery squadron in the future. Please be sure to train an artillery army that can win and defeat the battle!" Chu Yun promoted a confidant named David Dong to the squadron of the artillery squadron.

"David Dong must do it!" An officer with a tiger back and a bear-waist saluted Chu Yun.

This new type of military ritual was also invented by Chu Yun. At first, Chu Yun was not used to it, but gradually he felt that the new type of military ritual made people look more energetic and always felt that there was something different.

Looking at the army with a new appearance, Chu Yun thought of the Beiyang recruits in later generations. But unlike the recruits at that time, this army was more advanced in its thoughts under the leadership of Chu Yun.

Although there are only two howitzers now, there will be twelve one month later, what about a year later? Chu Yun couldn't help but have hope for the future.

"Sir, I don't want to be this team leader anymore!" Yang Tai next to him suddenly said.

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Yun frowned.

"I am willing to use the infantry captain to replace the squadron leader of the artillery squadron!" Yang Tai's eyes glowed green.

"Go to you! You want anything good!" Chu Yun wanted to kick Yang Tai.

I have to say that Yang Tai’s vision is fierce. Although the six-pound howitzer in Great Britain has not yet shown its power, he will definitely be the main force among the main forces in the future large-scale battles.

Chu Yun's career is booming. Merchant ships transport raw materials to Guanglu Island, and then ships out of Guanglu Island with finished products.

This time, not only yarns in the textile industry, but also iron metals!

In order to cast artillery, Chu Yun ignited the smelting technology of the 17th century and had enough technical support to smelting metals. Chu Yun even began to sell firearms.

For more silver, Chu Yun sold batches of flintlock rifles to Goryeo and Nanyang! In addition to the Later Jin Dynasty, which opposed the Ming Dynasty, Chu Yun refused to accept everyone! Moreover, Chu Yun sold flintlock rifles at five or even ten times the cost!

A month ago, Chu Yun sold 200 flintlock guns and 50,000 bullets to Goryeo and collected 3,000 taels of silver! Some of the silver was paid for with precious grain! Anyway, his production capacity was abundant, and there was still surplus after the army was equipped, so some of them had to be sold. Of course, the ones sold were all inferior goods. Only in this way can the accumulation of capital be completed, the production capacity continued to expand, the development of more advanced science and technology, and a good cycle was formed.

"Sir, the envoy from the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan asked for a visit outside our military camp. It is said that he wanted to finalize a batch of firearm trading business with us." A soldier trotted over to report to Chu Yun.

"Tokugawa Shogunate? Why are there people in this group? Are they from the Tokugawa family?"

Chu Yun never expected that his own firearms transactions would be the Tokugawa shogunate. At first, Chu Yun did not expect to do arms business, but sometimes Chu Yun would send a small army to protect merchant ships. In this way, Chu Yun's reputation for equipping the troops' flintlock guns spread in the nearby waters. Everyone knows that on an island in the Ming Dynasty, there were new Western firearms, which were several times more powerful than old firearms. As long as you have money, you can buy them!

"Although they are from the Tokugawa shogunate, they are not from the Tokugawa family, but a family that seems to be called Shimazu. There are many families in that place, and no one knows whether they are big or small families." The messenger scratched his head in confusion.

"Shimazu family..." Chu Yun had heard of it. This was a lord of the Satsuma vassal state in southwestern Japan, with some troops in his hands.

"Let's go, we will meet this messenger." Chu Yun said.

He took dozens of men from the smelter.

There were more than a dozen messengers from Shimazu family. The leader shaved his head, samurai uniform, and a sword on his waist. He was clean and neat. He looked like he was a child of a big family."

"Shimazu Konoha has seen the lord of the Celestial Empire." The warrior saw Chu Yun coming over under the support of a group of people, and knew that Chu Yun was the boss here, so he respectfully bowed to Chu Yun.

More than 30 years ago, Toyota Hideyoshi used the whole country to attack Goryeo and was defeated by the Ming Dynasty and Goryeo. Decades later, Japan recognized the Ming Dynasty as the supreme country of the Celestial Empire.

Sure enough, fists are everything. As long as you have strength, others will respect you and be afraid of you. Without strength, no matter how big the territory is, others will bully you and steal your territory and food.

However, what surprised Chu Yun was that Shimazu Kokuha could speak some Chinese. Although it was not standard, it was already very rare.

"Shimazu Kokusa? Have you ever heard of it?" Chu Yun turned his head and asked the school official beside him.

"I haven't heard of it before," a cadre replied.

As the previous messenger said, there are many names in Japan, and the nicknames are even more wandering around the ground. The Ming Dynasty did not care about the matters there.

"Zhishi is the second son of the head of the Shimazu family. It is normal for the first time that I heard that Ishishi is normal. This time, Ishishi brought 2,000 silver and wanted to buy 150 new Western muskets and two new Western guns from you." Shimazu Kokusa was not angry and said slowly.

"I also want to buy 150 Western muskets and two Western cannons for two thousand taels of silver? Go to Goryeo to find out, when did we sell so cheaply? At most, 100 Western muskets and 10,000 rounds of ammunition, but there are no artillery." Chu Yun said domineeringly.
