Chapter 10: Training the New Army (2)


For the army, soldiers still need to have a certain amount of cultural knowledge, especially officers.

Otherwise, if they cannot read maps and understand orders from their superiors, big problems will arise.

But now the literate people in the army All less.

He sighed again and said to Wang Tigan: "Find me two hundred literate eunuchs in the inner study hall, and then assign them to the capital camp to teach the soldiers how to read.

Don't learn those complicated articles or anything like that.

All you need to do is simply know some commonly used words.

Within three months, you must recognize at least a hundred words.

Is this difficult?"

Wang Tigan thought, recognizing a hundred characters in three months is roughly equivalent to recognizing one character a day.

Only a stupid pig can't learn it.

So he said with confidence: "Your Majesty, there is absolutely no difficulty."

A few days later, Jin Yiwei's information changed again.

Zhang Yan seemed to be in a calmer mood.

She often whispered to Xiaoqian, and Zhu Youxiao instructed to strengthen surveillance.

There was nothing to do today, so he asked people to go to the War Bureau to get some new flintlock guns, and asked Wei Zhongxian to call Wang Tiqian and come to the capital camp together.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Yang Guangkui led others to kneel in front of the door to greet him.

After they got up, Zhu Youxiao said: "I have had an idea for a long time.

Kneeling is not allowed in the army.

We will try it out in the Beijing camp first, and then implement it nationwide.

What do you think?"

Everyone is a military general, even if they see low-level civil servants, they must kneel down and bow.

The emperor said so, and of course they are willing.

Lu Qin and Zhou Yuji had heard him say it before, and now that it could finally come true, they were extremely excited.

When everyone came to the lobby, Zhu Youxiao demonstrated the hand-turning ceremony.

In his previous life, he liked watching Hong Kong dramas and liked the hand-turning ceremony very much.

"That's how it is.

This is how subordinates behave when they meet their superiors.

It's the same for equals.

Zhou Yuji, you first make a military salute regulation and then issue it to the entire army.

Next time I come, everyone will perform military salutes and no kneeling is allowed."

Everyone knelt down together again: "I respectfully obey the emperor's decree."

"Look, look, as I just said, you are not allowed to kneel down.

If you violate it next time, you will be punished by military law.

Now let's go and see how my Beijing soldiers are practicing."

So we walked out of the lobby together.

A group of soldiers led by Yang Guangkui demonstrated the spear stabbing technique.

Looking closely, the short spear was completely different from the ordinary short spear.

It was similar to a flintlock gun, but with a one-foot-long spear in front.

Just the tip of the gun.

In my heart, I secretly praised Sun Yuanhua and Li Chaoqin.

They knew what these short guns were used for, so they tried to make the short guns like flintlock guns with bayonets, so that the soldiers would not feel too much when changing weapons. difference.

The soldiers were neatly dressed, but their guns were unevenly drawn.

Some people were whispering in the team.

Yang Guangkui looked ashamed.

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is none of your business.

It's only been three days.

It's normal.

You don't expect it."

You will become a fat man in one bite, but the military discipline is too bad, so pull out those who talk and give them fifty lashes."

Yang Guangkui had a look of intolerance on his face, but he could only let his soldiers pull out the four soldiers who were talking nonsense.

Each of them was whipped with fifty whips until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

Then the other soldiers started to drill again.

The shots he fired just now were much more orderly, and his steps were much more powerful.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him: "You can't control soldiers with kindness.

Your current mentality is actually harming them.

If you don't practice your skills well now, their lives will be lost on the battlefield."

Yang Guangkui bowed his head and said yes.

Then there was a demonstration by a team led by Zhou Yuji.

The soldiers were full of energy, with strong steps and neatly drawing out their guns.

When they thrust out, they shouted "kill".

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but applaud.

Everyone looked at the emperor.

Somehow, he noticed it and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

He said: "Clap your hands to express your appreciation.

This group of soldiers performed well.

I want to praise them, so I clap my hands to praise them."

When everyone heard this, they clapped their hands together, which confused the soldiers.

After reviewing two more groups of soldiers, everyone returned to the lobby.

Yang Guangkui asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you practice all kinds of weapons according to Qi Shuai's method, and only practice short spears?

Moreover, this kind of short spear has a strange shape, and the soldiers are not used to it."

"The Bureau of War has installed a bayonet on the musket, so that the musketeers no longer need the protection of the pikemen.

I want to train the Beijing camp into a pure firearms army.

In this way, the offensive capability will be much stronger, but the defensive capability will be reduced.

If Using a bayonet will make up for this shortcoming. " At this time, the eunuch brought several flintlock guns with bayonets from the War Bureau, and Sun Yuanhua also followed.

Zhu Youxiao showed the gun to the generals: "Because of the current quality problem of steel, there are not enough flintlock guns with bayonets, so we can only use short guns instead.

You see, the length of the short guns is exactly the same as the flintlock guns with bayonets."

It looks the same.

Dr.

Sun, you came at the right time.

You participated in the entire production process and can help them formulate the musketeer drill code."

Sun Yuanhua has been named a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, but he has been in the War and War Bureau, so he probably doesn't know which way the door of the Ministry of Industry opens.

He replied: "Your Majesty, the problem of steel quality is almost solved now.

It was solved by Your Majesty reminding me to use coke for smelting.

Now the main reason is that the new furnace has just started production and the output is insufficient.

We should be able to make 5,000 bayonets before the year." , it can produce two thousand handles per month after the year.

Wei Chen wrote a production and maintenance method in the Military War Bureau, which should be useful in formulating operating regulations. " "Very good.

The artillery I want Xu Qing to buy from Macau should arrive soon.

Doctor Sun, please take a look.

How to cast it, how to improve it, how to use it, there must be regulations to follow.

The regulations for use and repair can be made to the artillery operation manual when the time comes. refer to."

Collector Zhu You said to Hui Ming: "Master, you are the chief instructor and are responsible for short gun training.

How good should the short gun training be?

You use wooden figures or straw figures as targets.

You want the soldiers to stab where they shout without any deviation.

This is what counts."

Barely qualified.”

Yang Guanggao asked curiously: "Aren't we supposed to be the ones who mainly practice firearms?

Do we need to practice assassination to this level?

We can only barely pass the test when we call for assassination."

Zhu Youxiao was surprised that Yang Guanggao, an ancient man, was more superstitious about the power of firearms than modern people like himself.

He smiled and said: "The meaning of this question is that my cousin thinks that firearms should have an advantage over knives and guns.

I don't think so.

The accuracy of fire blunderbuss is not high in the first place, and this problem will have to be improved slowly.

And in the case of fusiliers, The gun does not significantly increase the rate of fire At present, firearms have great limitations.

On the battlefield, close combat is the decisive factor, so you must practice short guns well.

I will come to see you practice when I have time.

I want to create a steel army with my own hands. , I hope you can help me practice it."

All the generals saluted together: "Dare you die serving your Majesty":
