Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 773
Zhu Yousong took the lead in applauding, and the imperial concubine Huimei also clapped her little hands and applauded. One emperor and one concubine, she is now the chief officer of the Thousand Musketeers Battalion.

Therefore, the thousand soldiers applauded thunderously, all because Batens's marksmanship was better.In fact, these 1000 people are not following others' opinions. Batens's skill is really good. Judging from this shot alone, it is more than enough to be their musket foreign teacher.

Seeing so many people applauding for him, including His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Emperor and the Imperial Concubine, Batensi felt a sense of pride in his heart.

But this sense of complacency only rose halfway, and then it became cold again. Thinking of their repeated defeats on the sea and on the island, he felt aggrieved again.

However, he was sincerely convinced of the Ming Emperor Zhu Yousong, so he waved his hand and said angrily: "No matter how good your marksmanship is, it can't compare to your majesty's miraculous skill."

This is true, Zhu Yousong sounds very useful, if everyone has his two skills, then these muskets will become superfluous.Because when fighting, Zhu Yousong's body skills, although not as fast as bullets, are definitely not slow. The only thing in martial arts in the world is speed. up.

But Zhu Yousong couldn't say that, he just smiled slightly and asked him to continue, while Zhu Yousong was watching from the side.

Batens continued where Zhu Yousong had interrupted him just now, and continued to talk about the posture of holding a gun. He gestured, and Huimei and a thousand other soldiers followed suit.

Then Batens put his gun down and corrected his posture one by one after a while.

Zhu Yousong saw that he was teaching seriously, so many people corrected them one by one, soon sweat appeared on his face, and his face under the red hair became even redder.

Zhu Yousong was quite satisfied, it seemed that he was right that he didn't kill him, this red-haired boy was quite useful!

At this time, Zhu Yousong went to the place where Batens had set the musket, and picked up the long gun, weighing it heavily. It was more than one meter long, and the bayonet at the end of the gun was half a foot long, shining brightly.

Holding the gun, Zhu Yousong remembered the devil's [-] cover in the film and television footage before crossing. This was the first time he touched a gun.

Following the example of Batens just now, he took aim at the target in the distance, and then pulled the trigger, and there was only a slight sound, which was not at all the clear and crisp sound just now.

Zhu Yousong took a closer look, and then realized that there was no bullet, and he was really an amateur. How could this kind of musket fire continuously now?
At this time, Batens noticed Zhu Yousong's action, ran over from the crowd, loaded Zhu Yousong with a bullet, and then smiled and indicated that Zhu Yousong could aim and shoot.

After Zhu Yousong felt that he had aimed well, Batens corrected him a little bit from behind, and then Zhu Yousong buckled the mechanism, and there was a bang, like a cannon being fired, which shocked his hands. A puff of white smoke drifted out from the barrel of the gun.

The target-reporting soldiers in the distance waved small triangular flags, stepped forward to look, and then shouted to this side: "Your Majesty's shot also hit the bull's-eye."

"Your Majesty is really amazing. One shot hits the target, and the concubine is far behind." Huimei said with a smile on her face.

Then Li Quan, Liu Zhaoji, the chief eunuch Li Guofu and others all complimented him and were full of praise.

Batens also gave a thumbs up with a smile, followed by compliments: "Your Majesty is a genius."

At this time, the thousand soldiers applauded and jumped for joy, the movement was much louder than before, warm and lasting.

"Your Majesty is good at marksmanship!"

"Simply a sharpshooter!"...

Everyone likes to listen to good words. Zhu Yousongming knew that they were flattering, but he didn't feel disgusted. It was the first time he shot a gun, and it felt really good. He waved to them, and the noisy crowd quieted down.

Zhu Yousong asked them to continue practicing, and brought Liu Zhaoji, Li Quan, Li Guofu and others to another training ground.

This is the training ground for the imperial cavalry. The commander He Xuanjiao and the chief officer Gao Guiying are there. The 3000 imperial cavalry soldiers are lined up in three horizontal lines and are practicing strategies and tactics such as offensive and defensive battles.

This team can be called a veteran army with a long history of battles. Since Liu Zhaoji trained into the army three years ago, the first battle was Zuo Liangyu and his son who went west to conquer Wuchang.

Since then, these 3000 iron cavalry have repeatedly made military exploits.Later, they complemented each other with the white soldiers of the Zhongzhen Camp and became the two trump cards in the imperial camp.

But now, 3000 people is already an imaginary number. If the real number is counted, there are at least three or four hundred vacancies.

But fortunately, for this type of military, it doesn't matter if there are more or less, because they line up to advance and retreat together.

According to the terrain and needs, sometimes line up in two lines, sometimes line up in three lines, and sometimes line up in one line.They are all dual weapons, with bows and arrows and spears.

Like iron-clad horses, they are not connected by iron chains, so they have the power of a common charge and are relatively flexible.In case of casualties, make up front and back, or make up left and right.

The training of this kind of army is mainly to improve their ability to fight flexibly, to change formations, and to advance and retreat together.

Gao Guiying, who was dressed in military uniform, commanded in person, replaced the military order with the embroidered broadsword in his hand, and pointed forward to represent the charge.The three pairs of cavalry lined up and charged forward, pushing forward as a whole like three big walls.

"Take the bow and arrow!" Gao Guiying shouted coquettishly.

The three teams of iron cavalry moved in unison, hung up the spears in their hands deftly, took out the bow and arrows on the back with their probes, confirmed the buckle and reloaded the strings, drew the bows and arrows at the same time, and aimed at the front and upward.

The wind of arrows roared, covering the sky densely, covering the sky and the sun.

Then the second arrow was shot, and the third arrow was shot. The team shot three arrows together in a uniform march, which looked majestic and majestic, and shocked people's vision.

"stop!"

Hearing the order, the three teams of iron cavalry stopped in unison.

"The first team did the best, the second team had a few untidy ones, and the third team did the worst. The first team practiced spear sprinting, the second team and the third team continued to bow and arrow!"

Zhu Yousong was watching with gusto when a fast horse ran in. How far away, the man on the horse got off the saddle and ran with a document in his hand, shouting: "Urgent military situation! Urgent report from the sea and the border!"

Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the Ming army made way for him one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the reporter came to Zhu Yousong and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty Qizuo, urgent military situation, urgent report from the sea and the border!"

"Read." Zhu Yousong dismissed it.

"According to the order. Hongmaozi was not reconciled to failure, and has already sent a large number of warships to southern Xinjiang, pushing towards Xiamen and Penghu in Taiwan. Hongmaozi was extremely arrogant and unreasonable. He proposed 12 items to His Majesty and issued an ultimatum. If any one does not satisfy them , will bombard Xiamen and Penghu. Governor Zheng Chenggong of Taiwan and Governor Yao Qisheng of Fujian, the two adults asked for an order."
