Chapter XXXVIII
That night, Liu Ru pushed Zhu Hao into Chen Xiyao's room with great interest, Zhu Hao couldn't hold back if he hadn't made love to Chen Xiyao for a long time, so he picked up his gun and got on the horse, tried all kinds of teasing things, and used all kinds of means of action movies in the island country in the later generations, until Chen Xiyao was killed and begged for mercy, and the only unhappiness disappeared.
Early the next morning, Zhu Hao didn't care about anything else, and led Tuorea to the barracks to visit. Looking at the neat queues on the playground, the full spirit of the soldiers, the powerful bodies, and the excellent equipment, Trerea was amazed, these soldiers were no less than the most elite royal guards in the Kingdom of Spain.
Seeing all kinds of artillery at one door, Torrea was not so surprised, after all, Spain has these artillery, and some of them are more advanced than these, and after watching a few rounds of gunners' drills, he rolled his eyes.
"With all due respect, Your Excellency, your infantry is indeed very elite, but the artillery is so poor that these gunners can only be regarded as operable, and they are far from excellent gunners." Trerea unceremoniously criticized Zhu Hao's artillery.
"Yes, I am short of good gunners, so this is the opportunity to show your talent, if under your leadership, my army can form an invincible artillery team, then when the time is ripe, I will award you the honor of the father of Chinese artillery." Zhu Hao knew that Westerners attached great importance to honor, so he boasted about Haikou, and he didn't want money anyway.
Sure enough, Tuorea was dizzy by this big painting cake, and her face was excited: "Oh God, is this true? I confess that I was persuaded by you, Your Excellency General, yes, I will obey your orders and train this artilleryman. ”
"Great, Li Dong, gather all the generals immediately." Seeing this kid join the gang, Zhu Hao was also very excited.
"Brothers, this person next to me is Torea, from the Wax Country, a top student of the Royal Military Academy of that country, he loves us China and is willing to join us. Let us welcome and thank him for joining us. ”
The crowd cheered and applauded enthusiastically.
"Torea is an excellent artillery talent with extremely high talent, so I decided to appoint him as the commander of the artillery battalion and the chief instructor, responsible for training and commanding the artillery unit, with immediate effect." After speaking, Zhu Hao took the lead in applauding, and everyone also hurriedly applauded warmly.
Next, under the instruction of Zhu Hao, Tuo Leia found a Franc machine to practice, I can't help but say that the Spanish artillery technology is much ahead of China, the operation is very professional, calibrating the distance, aiming, filling the elixir, launching, etc., Tuo Leia skillfully operated, a total of five guns, all hit the target, and everyone was calmed on the spot, everyone was also deeply admired by this foreign commander, and a group of artillery took him as a god.
Tuo Leia also gave Zhu Hao a lot of suggestions, such as installing sighting equipment on the gun body and changing the filling method. In fact, Zhu Hao has long started this matter, first developing a new type of Franc machine, imitating the principle of a new type of musket, using paper shell shells to fill to achieve the purpose of speeding up the loading speed, and increasing the production of flowering shells.
Aerodynamics has begun to sprout in the West, and many of Zhu Hao's ideas are based on it, and these Torea also understand some, but the materials used to make the gun body and the composition of gunpowder are the two key points that limit firearms, and these two aspects are difficult to solve for the time being, so we can only work on the structure of the firearm itself.
After discussing with Toreia, he gradually eliminated the Hongyi cannons that were too heavy, and mainly used small and medium-sized artillery in field battles to enhance the mobility of the troops. Small and medium-sized artillery pieces weigh no more than a few hundred pounds, and the heaviest Franc machine is less than a thousand pounds, which fully meets the needs of the troops.
Julia has no opinion on her brother's choice to join Zhu Haojun's army, which also makes Zhu Hao feel relieved, and the adventurous spirit and respect for others in Westerners should really be learned.
Military production was carried out in an orderly manner with the cooperation of the armory room and the scientific research room, and the military training was presided over by Luo Yunqu, Li Tongwu and others.
This time, Chen Xiyao brought most of the new industries, there are more than 1,000 workers alone, and all kinds of machinery and equipment have moved most of Yangzhou's family foundation, but fortunately, Yangzhou's industry has been fully managed by Zhu Ying and his wife, and there is nothing to worry about. Zhu Hao found several plots of land through Wang Yinzu and prepared to build a factory after the year.
The sound of firecrackers said goodbye to the old year, Chongzhen spent ten years in the noisy New Year's firecrackers, and on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the general's mansion came out of the news that the general and his generals were married. Chen Xiyao made a comprehensive arrangement to let Zhu Hao marry Liu Ru is door, and at the same time held a wedding for Luo Yunqu monk Cailian, Seaman and Julia, Zhu Shouyi and his wife also rushed to preside over the overall situation, and the two elders also loved the very talented and gentle and well-behaved Liu Ru is very much.
Although the wedding of Zhu Hao and Liu Ruye was not as grand as Chen Xiyao, the three weddings were held at the same time, which was more lively. The wealthy families in Xuzhou City also sent gifts when they heard that the generals were married.
The toast in the wedding is naturally the most wonderful item, and the result is self-evident, Zhu Hao, Luo Yunqu, and Ximango were poured out of appearance under the bombardment in turns, and even the three young men who accompanied the wine, Li Dong, Liu Maozong, and Tuorea, were also staggering.
The whole New Year came to an end in such a lively atmosphere, and Zhu Hao threw himself into intense work again.
In terms of business, Chen Xiyao is in charge, and with the huge strength in the Xuzhou General's Mansion, Zhu Hao is not worried, he is a strong man with an army in his hands in troubled times.
Zhu Hao couldn't rest assured that Hu Jianye's sailor, so he asked Julia's sister and brother to send a letter to their family to help on their behalf, and Julia agreed that she was in the honeymoon period and was in a good mood.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the Xuzhou Military Academy officially opened, and Zhu Hao himself served as the principal and chief instructor. The first batch of 108 cadets has all been put in place, and most of them are captains and deputy captains at all levels of the original units, and there are also some outstanding talents selected from peacetime training and exercises, all of whom were personally selected by Zhu Hao after a long period of observation, and they have a lively mind, a firm will, have read books, and have a strong sense of honor as a soldier.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Zhu Hao originally shortened the course of preparing for one year to eight months, so the first batch of students had to study and train for more than ten hours a day, including evenings. After he introduced Western clocks into the army, most people were accustomed to the 24-hour system, and a tall chiming bell was erected in the barracks, which was a dowry given by Julia to He-Man, which was "borrowed" by Zhu Hao to use, and the senior captains in the army had a pocket watch and a monocular, and spent a high price to equip each person with a Tang knife and a new handcuff, Zhu Hao was very satisfied with such equipment.
