Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 34: Morning Exercise
Early morning camp.

Many refugees who were awakened by the slogans outside the tent saw a strange scene as soon as they got out of the tent.

On the outside of the "iron basket wall" of the camp, more than a dozen people were running around the camp.While chanting, these people ran panting and panting, forming a long team.

"Pay attention to breathing, keep up the speed, and keep up." Wang Yuanfang stopped in the team, trotting in place, and shouted to the people in front and behind.

"Squad, monitor, just run five laps today. Du, I haven't practiced for several years, and my physical strength is exhausted." After running four laps, Deng Fei was out of breath.

"Zhao Xin, keep breathing rhythm!" Wang Yuanfang shouted at Zhao Xin.

"I shouldn't have opened the door in the morning!" Zhao Xin followed Deng Fei far away, cursing secretly while adjusting his breathing rate.

Just before dawn, Zhao Xin, who was sleeping in the RV, was woken up by a hasty knock on the door.He thought something happened in the camp, so he got up quickly.When they opened the door, it was Wang Yuanfang and the six of them who asked Zhao Xin to run and exercise together.

Zhao Xin was too embarrassed to refuse, so he put on his clothes and started running.

The current refugee camp is surrounded by an explosion-proof wall into a square, each side is more than 200 meters long.In this way, it is more than 800 meters to run around the outer wall of the camp.

Wang Yuanfang came up and said to run ten laps, but Zhao Xin refused to agree.Up to five laps!
After running two laps, Zhao Xin wanted to slap his own mouth, why did he say five laps, three laps would be fine.

Early in the morning, I came up to 4000 meters first.As far as Zhao Xin's physique, which has not been exercised for a long time, is really fatal.

In fact, Liu Sheng and the other five were also very tired, after all, they had been discharged from the army for several years.At the beginning, I could still insist on going out to exercise every morning, but then I didn't have that kind of thought.

Only Wang Yuanfang was better. He used to be a five-kilometer cross-country pacesetter in the army.After retiring from the army, I have been doing odd jobs and doing physical labor all these years.However, it is a bit difficult to come up to 4000 meters suddenly.

The most troublesome are Liji and Sheng Haizhou, the seven of them.

When Zhao Xin and the others started shouting "one two one", Li Ji woke up.He didn't know what happened, so he hurried out of the tent to check.In the end, I saw the lord, Mr. Liu, and the five newcomers from yesterday, chanting and running around the outer wall of the camp.

"What kind of trouble is this?" Li Ji was puzzled, and hurriedly ran over to stop Zhao Xin, wanting to ask the lord what are you doing?
Zhao Xinzheng was not in a good mood, and when he saw another one coming, he just waved his hand.

Li Ji saw that the lord was calling him, so let's follow.

Then came Katsu Kaishu, Heita, Kuzo, Manzo, and Tiger Suke who were going to practice swordsmanship in the morning, and they all came one after another.

So the team of fourteen gradually dragged on longer and longer. At first Liji and the others could still follow Zhao Xin closely, but then they dragged into a long line.Liu Sheng ran past a corner of the camp, and Wan Zao, who was running at the end, hadn't come to the corner yet.

There is no way to do it, the congenital deficiency, the legs of the "seven samurai" are too short to move.

Sheng Haizhou has good physical strength, but he has never run like this before; Jiu Cang and Hu have the most stable run-up, because they both grew up in the mountains and have long been used to running.

After everyone finished running five laps, they stopped at the "gate" on the west side of the camp (now it is a fence gate built with wood). Except for Wang Yuanfang, everyone else was exhausted.

Wan Zuo sat down on the ground, panting non-stop while cursing: "My lord, this is a good time and I don't plan to live it..."

Tiger Suke came over and said, "I think adults think we don't practice enough every morning."

Li Ji now has 1 regrets.The lord is so unpredictable, why should I go up and ask, just look at it honestly.

Sheng Haizhou was too tired to speak, he thought to himself: "I guess I did something wrong again, the lord is punishing us."

Although Pingtai and Jiuzang were sweating profusely, they felt very relaxed, which is not a big deal at all!Two more laps are no problem.

"Get up, don't sit down!" Wang Yuanfang walked up to the crowd and kicked a few who were sitting and panting.

"Stand up and walk slowly, you can't sit down." Zhao Xin said hoarsely to Sheng Haizhou and the others, then turned to A Miao who was standing in the gate of the camp and said, "Water."

A Miao immediately bowed: "Hayi~~" hurried over, and handed the water glass in her arms to Zhao Xin.

other people……

Ding Guofeng looked up to the sky and sighed: "Lolita has three good things~~"

After breakfast, Zhao Xin asked Sheng Haizhou to continue to arrange work according to the usual plan, and then call everyone for a meeting after noon.

Liu Sheng took tools to find the place where the wood was piled up. He found a two-meter-long piece of wood with the thickness of an arm, trimmed it with an axe, and then chopped the wood into sharp ends.

Then he went to find Li Ji with the wood on his back, and found an empty cardboard box from the supplies pile.Spread the carton out and cut out the largest pieces.Then Liu Sheng used a pen and a ruler to carefully draw a large cross on the carton target, and drew many layers of circles on the cross, one ring after another.When all the drawings are finished, nail the paper target to the wooden bar.

Wait till it's all done.Liu Sheng called everyone into the RV and began to explain the characteristics and use of the guns in everyone's hands.

It is said that the 416 assault rifles that Zhao Xin bought for the first time were all HK[-] rifles produced by Heckler & Koch, which are the famous "chicken eating" game artifacts.

What Zhao Xin purchased from Dannie was the military version of HK416 A7.The length of the barrel is 14.5 inches, and the weight of the whole gun is 3.69 kg. It uses 5.56 mm x 45 NATO bullets, and each gun is equipped with two magazines.

When Wang Yuanfang and the other five looked at the gun, they were full of praise for its exquisite workmanship.But when Liu Sheng was asked the price of this gun, their jaws dropped to the ground in shock, and they immediately became very light-footed, for fear of bumping it.

Market price, $43800, double the black market price, not counting the holographic sight and triple sight magnifier.

And what is the price of the 95 rifles used by the six of them before? Hey, the purchase price is about 4000 yuan; and the 97 rifles sold overseas are only 5000 yuan.

"My mother!" Ding Guofeng couldn't help but exclaimed as he looked at the gun in his hand.

"This gun is much heavier than the 95." Wang Yuanfang weighed it.

"That's not it. Last time I recited it for a whole day, my neck was sore." Zhao Xin explained.

"I asked him to buy AK or M4, but he insisted on buying this, 20 of them! A full set of configurations." Liu Sheng said dissatisfied.

"You know a P, this configuration is higher than that of the Marine Corps on the other side of the ocean. Please be content." Zhao Xin cursed casually.

"Okay. I decided to sleep with my arms around it at night. Bah, bah~~" Deng Fei kissed the body of the gun, and finally kissed a mouthful of anti-rust oil.

When everyone saw it, they began to wipe off the anti-rust oil with a cloth, and then re-applied the gun oil.And the two guns used by Zhao Xin and Liu Sheng have not been cleaned before, so let's come together this time.

After the gun oil was wiped off, the seven men went to the beach with bullets and magazines and targets on their shoulders.

Before leaving, Zhao Xin told Liji not to let the refugees go to the beach, but to watch the children.Zhao Xin especially named Wan Zao's snotty son.

Li Ji hurried out to convey the master's order.Now Wan Zao's snotty son was miserable, he was dragged to the kitchen by his mother and locked up for a whole day.

On this day, the bursts of gunfire from the sea made the refugees working in and outside the camp startled.Some refugees were so frightened that they pissed and ran into the woods.These people thought that the shogunate had sent troops, and went to the island to fire iron cannons and start fighting directly, leaving no one alive.

Besides, when Zhao Xin and the others arrived at the coast in the south of the camp, they first found a shelter from the wind, dug a hole with a shovel, and buried the target deeply in the soil.

In one morning, more than 200 bullets were fired intermittently.Everyone shoots very slowly. Basically, after three rounds, you have to stop for a while, and then check the impact point on the target.

The purpose of doing this is to adjust the scope.

First of all, when everyone installed the scope, Zhao Xin first explained it with the instruction manual. When installing, make sure that the scope and the barrel are coaxial, and pay attention to clamping the upper gland of the scope. uniform.Only after this is done can the gun be calibrated.

In the second step, because the scales on the scope are all inches, first aim at the center of the cross on the target from a distance of ten meters and shoot a shot, and then use a ruler to measure the deviation between the bullseye and the impact point.

The third step is to calculate mathematically. If the impact point of the first shot and the position of the bull's eye are offset by 21mm, and each click on the scope is equivalent to an offset of 91mm at 6.35 meters (100 yards in the British system) offset by 1/4 inch).Then the actual movement amount of one tick at a position 10 meters away from the target is to divide 6.35 by 9, and finally it is about 0.7 mm.It has been measured before, the impact point deviation is 20 mm, then divide 20 by 0.7, then the scope needs to be adjusted by turning 28 to 29 steps.

The fourth step is to shoot again after adjustment.If the error is basically gone, continue to shoot a few shots, check the impact point of the walk, if not, continue to fine-tune, adjust the vertical height after horizontal adjustment, until the gun hits the bullseye.

The fifth step is to continue testing at 30 meters, 50 meters, 80 meters and even 200 meters according to the calculation logic above.

The whole process is tedious and requires skill, mathematical knowledge and patience.

Zhao Xin didn't have time to do this in the afternoon.This morning, he first took the instruction manual of the scope, and told everyone how to install it according to the English instructions; then he ran around with a ruler to measure the deviation, and then calculated.By the time they were busy until noon, basically the other six people understood.

So Zhao Xin simply asked Liu Sheng to calibrate his gun in the afternoon, and he also had a meeting with Sheng Haizhou and the others.

The Seven Samurai sat nervously in the RV, not knowing where to put their hands and feet. This was their first time entering, and the decorations in the RV dazzled them.

The tabby cat was lying on the driver's platform in front of the car, lazily basking in the sun.

Sheng Haizhou first reported the consumption of food.After all, it is impossible to farm this winter, so everyone can only consume the stored food in this way, and wait for the spring to talk about it.Then he reported the use and damage of the materials; then the progress of various projects such as logging and filling; finally, he talked about the progress of the other six people's recent martial arts training.

After everything was reported, Sheng Haizhou finally said what he was worried about.

"My lord, if that Kurkazi man comes again, what shall I do?"

"We can't change it casually, we have to make a rule." Zhao Xin mused.

"Please tell the Lord."

"Remember, you two, five mink furs are exchanged for a coat, and two mink furs are exchanged for a pair of shoes. As for the pot...three mink furs are enough."

Pingtai said in embarrassment: "My lord, there is no mink in the fur goods that Yariha brought."

Zhao Xin slapped his forehead, how can there be mink fur now, all the mink fur of the Kurkaqi people went to Ninggu Pagoda to pay tribute to the Manchus.

"Otter skins and fox skins are fine too. Five pieces of otter skins are exchanged for a coat, and two pieces of otter skins are exchanged for a pair of shoes. The pot will cost ten pieces. Pingtai, you have to remember that the fur color of fur goods is based on solid color. The variegated value is halved."

Pingtai hurriedly bowed and agreed.

"It seems that we need to prepare a batch of iron pots." Zhao Xin tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about it.

"In addition, there are two things that need you to convey my order to the people in the camp. The first is that everyone must learn to speak Chinese."

"Learn Chinese?" The seven people looked at Zhao Xin in surprise.Sheng Haizhou has no problem writing Chinese characters, but he really can't speak Chinese.

"Yes, I will teach this." Zhao Xin's mind flashed the scene of the camp in the future, where a group of refugees would recite tongue twisters every morning.It's exciting to think about it~~~
"The second thing is that we will cross the strait and head north before the ice melts in the spring of next year."

"Go north?" Several people were taken aback.

"Yes, now there is only a large piece of idle fertile land in the north. To save more people and feed them, we must go north." Zhao Xin said firmly.
