I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 73 Field Training
In the grass field, the cold wind is biting and the war flags are flying.

Zhu Youzheng is training in the hurdles with more than 30 people. He doesn't know much about military training, which is limited to military training in later generations. But he doesn't understand. There are people in this era who understand.

He trained strictly in accordance with Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Ji Xiao" and "Records of Military Training", which are also the best contemporary military training manuals.

Fortunately, Wang Boyu selected strong, smart and capable people from the Four Guards Warrior Battalion this time.They also knew that this was a good opportunity to show their faces in front of the emperor, so they naturally followed Zhu Youxiao's words.

Zhu Youxiao first personally led them to run in the fenced area to warm up, and then asked them to stand in line, turn left and right, and then run in unison.

After this, some people began to be unable to bear it, and the team began to sway as they ran. If Zhu Youxiao had not gritted his teeth and persisted, everyone might have fallen to the ground to rest.

However, there were also three people who were in excellent physical condition and performed well. They did not complain after a while, but instead helped the people around them to move forward.

Zhu Youxiao looked at these three people with great interest, and then asked them to report their names.

"Your Majesty, the small warrior battalion is getting great success", "the commander of the small warrior battalion Zhou Yuji" and "the deputy sentry of the small four-guard battalion Sun Yingyuan".

Oh, he knew these three people. They were rare brave generals in the capital camp in the late Ming Dynasty. Especially Huang Degong, who also had outstanding military exploits. He was also in charge of one of the four towns in Jiangbei in Nanming, and he was the only one among the four towns. Be loyal and brave to obey the orders of the court.

"Wang Boyu has a good eye. He was able to select the three of you from the Beijing camp at once. I see that you didn't feel tired after all the troubles just now, and you didn't complain, and you even helped the people around you. I'm deeply pleased. In the future, you will The group of more than 30 people will be divided into three teams, and the three of you will be in charge. You will only listen to my orders, and ignore the rest."

The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this and quickly knelt down to thank them. Zhu Youxiao also waved his hand and asked them to organize their team, rest for a while, and continue training.

In the next few days, Zhu Youxiao rushed to the field early every morning after approving the memorials and trained with them. In the afternoon, if there was nothing important, he would come over after the lecture to see their progress.

Slowly you can see the leadership style of the three people.

Huang Degong was rough, brave, and uneducated. He would directly serve those in the team who were disobedient and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. At first, some people in the team were dissatisfied, but after Huang Degong gave him a severe beating, they became honest in an instant. His team's training has also kept up, and no one is complaining.

Zhou Yuji is a serious person, unsmiling, but conscientious in his work. He will repeatedly explain the essentials to those in the team who can't keep up, and help the team members improve, which makes the team members convinced by him.

Sun Yingyuan, on the other hand, has a better personality. He is neither arrogant nor impetuous. He does not beat or scold the team members, but gets along well with them. On weekdays, he will try his best to help the team members if they need any help. Except for mistakes or failure to keep up with the progress, he will always patiently give guidance to the team members. Make mistakes and correct them one by one.

After a few days, although the training methods were different, the three teams were all in order. They lined up, turned left and right, walked in unison, and trotted in unison while shouting slogans. Zhu Youxiao was very pleased.

According to his preconceived idea, he not only wanted to train troops, but also wanted to select capable generals, train them well, and send them to lead troops in the Beijing camp and even the border army. This would make it easier for him to master the reform of the Beijing camp.

Therefore, during training, you must go through guns, artillery, bows, arrows, swords and guns, especially the first two.

Now seeing that the results have been good in the past few days, I thought about letting him use the bird gun. According to the equipment standards approved by Qi Jiguang when he was training in Jibei, the bird gun player needs a lot of materials and equipment.Each person has a helmet, a pair of armor, a belt, a long knife, a gun, thirty medicine tubes, a lead bag, a gun holster, a spear, a tin turtle, medicine Thirty pipes, one lead bag, and one gun holster.

Prepare gunpowder for every three coins, and prepare three hundred coins.In addition, prepare six liang of empty medicine, totaling six kilograms, three hundred lead pieces, five match ropes, one lead mold for each round, and one coconut scoop.

After this, it is not convenient to move. Normally, the training of the border troops takes a lot of deductions, so the size is not that heavy.Zhu Youxiao certainly didn't skimp on his military training now. He had already prepared these equipment according to the standard and didn't dare to have any shortages.Of course, the first training does not require them to equip all the equipment. The extra gunpowder, match ropes, etc. do not need to be specially loaded.

But even so, it was a bit troublesome to equip them. Fortunately, Huang Degong and the other three were training diligently in the Beijing camp. Of course, they also knew how to use the blunderbuss. After understanding the equipment, they helped their team members get it. After some preparation, , all dressed up and waiting in line.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but asked three people to come out and randomly selected Sun Yingyuan for a test shot. Sun Yingyuan immediately responded. Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji also asked people to prepare the target.

I saw Sun Yingyuan skillfully taking out the medicine tube and opening it. The medicine tube was made of wood and contained gunpowder for one-time firing of the gun.Soldiers use powder tubes to pack gunpowder in advance before fighting, which can greatly improve efficiency during combat.

Sun Yingyuan took out the gunpowder from the tube, and then skillfully and quickly put the gunpowder into the gun. He then compacted it with a stick (long wooden stick), took out a lead shot, and sent it in with the stick.

Open the fire door again, pour the wire powder in the tin turtle into the tin turtle, shake it to make the wire powder enter the wire door (the hole connecting the fire door and the gun chamber), and close the fire door.Light the match rope and install it into the faucet (the trigger can control the match rope to be sent to the clip of the fire door).

When he was ready, Sun Yingyuan opened the fire door again, put the blunderbuss on his waist with the elbow of his front hand, opened the door with his back hand, then held the blunderbuss in his back hand, aimed with one eye, and aligned the rear star with the front star at the target. Pull the trigger with your right index finger, and then send the match rope to the fire door with the faucet.

Then he put the gun on his shoulder, aimed the muzzle at the target, and lit the match with a calm expression. After a while, he heard the word "Peng" and rolled his eyes, knowing that the target had been hit.

"Good marksmanship!"

Zhu Youxiao watched Sun Yingyuan's final high school goal and was filled with admiration. Everyone also applauded.

At this time, someone also brought the target over. Zhu Youxiao took it over and took a look. The target had a small opening, which showed that the gun was very powerful. The most important thing was that its accuracy was much higher than that of a fast gun.

Sun Yingyuan also looked at the target and said:

"Your Majesty, although this blunderbuss is fast and accurate, it is indeed useful against the Mongolian Tatars. However, I heard that the Jianlu captives had elite white-armored Bagaras, all wearing double armor. The blunderbuss cannot be broken. It must be cannoned. Xiao The Ordnance Bureau’s suggestion is that the Ordnance Bureau develop heavy bird muskets, so that bird muskets can also break armor.”

Zhu Youxiao heard that this suggestion was natural. After thinking about it, he asked He Ning to write it down and asked Xu Guangqi to try to develop it.

After seeing Sun Yingyuan's gun shooting skills, the three of them were asked to guide the third team to continue training. Now they only have to wait for the bird gun to become somewhat proficient, and then they will try the "three-stage strike" invented by Mu Ying in the early Ming Dynasty.

　My wife and the old man are also infected. I may update it today and make up for it later. I’m really sorry.
