Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 92 The Commander Has His Eyes on You
While Chang Yanling and other instructors were teaching the operation of firearms, Sun Yuanhua, the Westerner Tang Ruowang and their apprentices were also patiently explaining the performance and operation mode of the new Ming cannon and how to use the blunderbuss to these Imperial Guard officers and soldiers. Adjust shooting accuracy.

"The ancients once said that there is a Pythagorean, and this aiming is also related to this. If the flagpole in front is the target, then this line is the hook, and this is the stock."

Tang Ruowang, who is honored as a Western Confucian, can be regarded as knowledgeable about ancient and modern times. At this time, he is selling his own set of trigonometric functions on the ground with tree branches, but he is tireless in teaching.

Most of these officers and soldiers were from the Shenji Battalion, even if they were not in the Ming Dynasty, they had all touched the old-style artillery, plus the night class training, so they could barely understand it, not to mention that they just listened to it. The most important thing is to master how Tang Ruowang operates. Although the basic principle and aiming method are core technologies, they are the business of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

"Mr. Sun, can I try it?" Fu Dahai obviously has a stronger interest in this new artillery, and he even can't wait to try it.

Sun Yuanhua taught the night classes of these Imperial Guard officers and soldiers, so he was also called Mr. Sun. Seeing Fu Haihai's hot eyes, he nodded.

Fu Dahai rushed over, and Tang Ruowang took the initiative to serve as Fu Dahai's deputy gunner.

The other officers and soldiers on the side couldn't help discussing in a low voice: "Tell me, can this thing work? To be honest, I have worked in the Shenji Battalion before, and the position of the flagpole is too far away, so the red cannon on the city wall can do it." It can be hit, and it is estimated that it will not be able to hit it in one shot."

"It depends on whether the method taught by this Westerner will work, but I think it's just a cannonball, and I don't pay so much attention to it. I don't need him to teach me, I can do it!"

The first team from the Shenji Battalion also answered, but at this moment, Fu Dahai had adjusted the position under Tang Ruowang's guidance, and then lit the fire, and soon there was a loud bang.

The flagpole in front fell down.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help opening their mouths. Judging from the effect of the explosion, it seemed that the artillery was more powerful than the previous artillery, but what they didn't expect was that Fu Haihai fired a second round soon.

"Grandma, it's no wonder Your Majesty said that the future war will be dominated by artillery," a commander who was born as an officer couldn't help but admire.

But Tang Ruowang gave Fu Dahai a thumbs up at this time, and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Old Sun, I strongly request Your Majesty to let this general be in charge of the artillery battalion, because he has extraordinary talents."

……

"The first team of the third battalion has finished shooting, please give instructions!"

A team came over with the Apocalypse Type [-] flintlock guns, put the guns neatly on their shoulders, and walked towards Qin Botong, the commander of the third battalion, in a goose step.

"Rest in place, the second team is in place!"

The second team and the first team, which had already been prepared, responded at the same time, and at this time, soldiers in front reported the shooting results of the first team: "The first team missed 29 targets, [-] below the eighth ring, and the rest All are above the eighth ring!"

"Yo!"

The first team, which had already rested on the ground, sitting cross-legged on the ground, couldn't help shouting. According to the discipline of the army, they could cheer loudly during the break, especially this kind of applause for collective honor.

Although according to the results of the previous few training sessions, it is a good result for a team to have more than half of the fighters hitting the eighth ring or above, but the second team did not take it seriously. go to the field.

"Remember, our goal is to have zero misses, and keep the number below the eighth ring to [-]. If it can't be achieved, the whole team will run [-] laps together tonight!"

"Yes!"

The second team has always been competitive, and Qin Botong didn't stop him. He still had a cold face: "The second team, are you ready?"

"Report, ready!"

"shooting!"

As soon as Qin Botong gave the order, he heard a neat firing sound, crackling sound like fried beans, and then saw a puff of white smoke diffuse along an arc.

"The second team of the third battalion has finished shooting, please give instructions!"

"Rest in place, the third team is in place!"

"For the second team, one misses the target, seventeen are below the eighth ring, and the rest are above the eighth ring!"

"Team Zheng, are you running laps tonight?"

"Run! Ge Laozi, who missed the target! Stand up for Laozi!"

This team used to be soldiers from Shu who followed Qin Liangyu, and was later left in the Beijing camp by coincidence, but even so, they still spoke a Sichuan accent.

The soldier who missed the target stood up with his head drooping: "Report, it's me!"

……

The firearms comprehensive operation training began in full swing. The entire Imperial Guard camp used to be the sound of passwords from morning to five, but now there are various bombing sounds, and sometimes the ground trembles a few times.

Fortunately, it is far away from the residents here, otherwise it will definitely scare people to death.

However, there are also censors who say that this will shake the dragon veins, but Zhu Youxiao is not Cixi, and he would not be so stupid as to stop training because of some dragon veins. On the contrary, the censor was dismissed from office because of alarmism.

However, officers and soldiers have not reduced their current theoretical study, and now they have to spare time to study in addition to evenings and afternoons.

This is also impossible, as operating firearms and using firearms to fight involves a lot of professional knowledge, and these officers and soldiers must be popularized. Fortunately, these officers and soldiers are not as ignorant as the soldiers recruited from the common people.

At the very least, those who can read and write, especially the officers, still account for a large part, and even the soldiers are not starting from scratch.

After the comprehensive firearms operation training was over, Zhu Youxiao began to reorganize the Imperial Guards to prepare for the next special training.

The first is the Artillery Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion, because these two battalions have certain special requirements for soldiers, and the soldiers who are talented in handling artillery and those who are good at riding horses must be selected first.

The operation of the artillery is directly assessed by Tang Ruowang, while the cavalry is directly selected by Aobai. Aobai has a different selection method than others, because he often patrols the battalions, and from time to time he runs to other people's crotch Take a pat or even touch it.

Everyone was puzzled why he made such a choice instead of first asking if he could ride a horse, but His Majesty and Lu Shilang both supported him.

But being touched by a big vulgar guy is really unpleasant, and you can't lose your temper.

Zhu Youjian was touched by Ao Bai, and he turned around immediately in fright: "What are you doing!"

"The Commander has his eyes on you, Private Zhu Youjian. From today on you will join the Cavalry Battalion of the Imperial Guard. Secretary, write down his list and report it to Chang Yanluo, Commander of the First Battalion!"

According to the order from above, as long as the person selected by Oboi, no one can stop or refuse, so Chang Yanluo and Zhu Youjian had no choice but to admit defeat.

After selecting [-] cavalry, [-] artillery and corresponding auxiliary troops to form the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion, the next step is to conduct shooting training for the whole battalion. Anyone who still misses the target or fails to reach an average of more than seven rings in three shots will be eliminated. , Also missed the infantry battalion.

However, the eliminated soldiers are not useless. There are many soldiers who have specialties in other fields, such as first-class surveying and mapping within a few days of learning, and some even have extremely accurate judgments on climate and groundwater locations.

Zhu Youxiao simply organized them as engineers. Soldiers who really have no special skills or talents can still stay in the supply camp to manage and protect the supplies of the entire army.

　Thank you book friends Happy*angel, etjojo, and Zhuang Buping for your rewards. This is an update to make up for what I owed yesterday.
