Li Ya held the 1705 Chinese Empire's 1705 Chinese rifle with a 1705 striker pin that rotated and pulled the bolt bridge to load the 5-round 1705 Chinese rifle, and took a nap with his eyes closed.

Before that, he performed well, from the boot camp to the end of the training, he stayed for three months, the recruit was supposed to be stationed in the recruit camp, continue to receive cultural classes, but the garrison instructor was very satisfied with him, recommended him to the local garrison as a soldier, this time let him less than a year of struggle, from a private directly to a private.

If it is step-by-step, after his recruit training is over, he needs to continue other training while learning cultural classes, such as tactical training, weapon training, assembly training, and ideological education, and wait until the end of one year, he can be promoted to a fourth-class soldier, and at the end of two years of recruits, he can be promoted to a third-class soldier, and then retire, or be accepted as a soldier in the garrison, and then stay in the garrison for a full year, and be promoted to a second-class soldier, or because the recruit performs well, he is directly promoted to a second-class soldier, skipping the third-class soldier in just a few months, Most of the recruits who can stay are in this process, but the instructor's recommendation makes him only need to go through a few months of garrison training and running-in before he can become a private, directly skipping the two processes of third-class and fourth-class soldiers.

He trained hard, and in three months in the garrison, he was recognized by everyone, and he was directly transferred to a private, and in the remaining months, he made up for those courses that the recruit battalion did not train, and then stayed in the garrison for another year, and the garrison was transferred to other places twice, and he was directly promoted from a private to a private of the first class, and became a deputy squad leader.

After the third redeployment, they were stationed in Central Asia, at this time he was thousands of miles away from his new barracks, in Central Asia he learned to ride horses, patrol on horseback, shoot immediately, learn to doze on horseback on the steppe, march on horseback, spend the night, learn how to fight the wild beasts of the steppe, learn how to survive in the desert, and also during a patrol, the only unit with his squad to escape from the harsh desert climate, his platoon was swallowed up by quicksand and storms.

After coming back, he was successfully promoted to squad leader, corporal rank, and then he trained once, transferred from the garrison army to the cavalry corps, and served as a corporal soldier in the cavalry corps, yes, his ability in the cavalry army is only worthy of serving as a soldier, and there are also privates and first-class soldiers in the cavalry corps, all of which are newly transferred and have excellent performance in other armies, and his corporal rank is just enough to serve as their seniors, but the deputy squad leader is still a sergeant, and the sergeant is raised from the cavalry army, At the beginning, he was promoted in the recruit barracks of the cavalry corps.

Compared with fighting on horseback, those who have risen from the garrison and garrison are not as good as the soldiers of the recruit battalion directly under the cavalry army, especially the excellent soldiers who can be promoted from the new barracks.

This is his boss deputy squad leader, from the new barracks to the cavalry corps and his about the same age, a little more than three years, the Chinese Empire only the cavalry army is more special, no need or no need for all soldiers from the empire's new barracks, recruit barracks around the country to select and promote soldiers, because of their special troops, most of those cavalry recruits are the Mongolian governorate who grew up on horseback, or the people of the Western Regions Governorate, they can directly be promoted to the cavalry army in the new barracks set up by the cavalry army, Of course, the process of promotion is similar to that of other armies.

This is also why the cavalry army still has soldiers of the third class, which ensures that the cavalry army also has low-level soldiers, otherwise the soldiers who are promoted from the garrison, although they are infantry, must be excellent soldiers, and their military ranks must be high, how can they be arranged as soldiers?

Not to mention that the garrison army was originally of low rank, low level of training, or low combat effectiveness, and little knowledge, but the garrison was originally strictly trained, and the cavalry was also trained, and the people who could be selected by the cavalry army at random were all corporal and sergeant ranks, and a small number of excellent first-class soldiers, these entered the cavalry army, and the military rank was very high, should they be arranged as soldiers, and the cavalry army with low rank was trained by themselves, and the cavalry army with better horseback riding was arranged as officers?

It can only be said that to a certain extent, it can be reconciled, so that most of the excellent soldiers of the garrison have become soldiers, and some have become officers, and the cavalry army tries to pick their own excellent officers to lead them, as for the garrison, there are also some who serve as officers as soon as they come, but most of them still serve as soldiers, but they are relatively high in rank, so they can be subject to them when the officers are no longer in the war, and in the wars of later generations, the leaders with high military ranks and low ranks, everyone is a soldier, and when making decisions, even if you are very good, Even if you were a regimental commander and were demoted to a soldier, you still have to listen to the corporal or sergeant.

In a war with the Russian patrol cavalry invading the Turkish train and railway line, Li Ya led two soldiers of the first class, who were also promoted from the garrison, and successfully killed three Russian soldiers, rescuing the cavalry soldiers and deputy squad leader of their squad.

Then in the provocative battle with the Turks, he rode around alone, crushed the attack of the Turkish cavalry from the flank, and then became the squad leader, his squad leader escaped in the frontal battle, so he was removed from his post and investigated, and in the next few months, he won the praise of the cavalry officers for his excellent performance, and was sent to the training team for training, and three months later, he was promoted to sergeant, becoming the well-deserved sergeant squad leader of the cavalry army.

A month later, he was transferred to the first section of the Central Asian garrison and became the leader of the sergeant squad, and the garrison was equipped with a cavalry battalion when it was on the border, and he was a cavalry squad leader in the cavalry battalion.

When blocking a group of defeated Russian troops fleeing from the Arshav dynasty to Russia, his company traveled thousands of miles, pursued a battalion of the enemy, and pursued it all the way to the border of the Central Asian satrapy, where it met with the cavalry of other nearby cavalry corps, and annihilated all the enemy.

However, he was not satisfied, and while training others, he himself was studying, artillery, and taught himself some military courses, and after a year, he successfully passed the exam and became a student of the artillery academy from a sergeant.

At this time, he only joined the army for five years, three years of study in the artillery academy, he successfully obtained the rank of second lieutenant of artillery, and was assigned to a camp of the garrison in Yunnan Guizhou Province, as the deputy platoon commander of the artillery.

When he got there, he continued to serve as the deputy platoon commander of the artillery, but it was useless, the garrison here only assisted in guarding, and the general garrison did not go out of the core area at all, he was idle for another year, and then when he left, he was selected to be transferred to the local field army artillery squad leader, commanding an eighteen-pounder old artillery, because of disarmament reasons, in fact, many weapons and equipment of the field army and other armies of the Chinese Empire have not been replaced for a long time, disarmament has made military spending fall, and the field army is in the overall operation, It is really inferior to the cavalry corps and garrison army guarding here, as well as the Guards, so the weapons and equipment of the field army are very old.

A field army changed its guard and arrived at the seaside, which is a small dock 200 kilometers away from the small town of Vorkuta in the mountains of the Ural Line, which is often harassed and attacked by North Sea pirates, Swedish pirates, and the remnants of the original rebels of the Qing Dynasty in Western Siberia, and is garrisoned here by a garrison camp composed of local immigrants, all of whom have lived here for nearly 20 years.

There is also a cavalry company transferred from Central Asia, and an infantry platoon of the Guards, in fact, this infantry platoon is the highest officer who defends here, a lieutenant colonel of the Guards, and their field army artillery is only deployed one platoon, the total strength here is only about 500 people, and the battalion of the garrison army is not full at all, because it is a time of peace, the garrison policy of disarmament at the beginning of the Chinese Empire is still being implemented, one-third of the people are engaged in agriculture, one-third of the people are stationed in the local area, one-third of them become militia, and they are half-engaged in agriculture in the local villages. Half-prepared to replace the soldiers in the garrison camp.

The garrison here has been localized, and the main garrison task is actually to garrison about 200 people, and at most the militia who are engaged in agriculture will assemble in the camp for training, at this time there are almost 400 people, which may not be enough, plus a company of the real cavalry army to change the defense force, the number is only about 500 people, plus the guard platoon of the officers who garrison the local area, it is not more than 600 people, and the artillery platoon of their field army is playing soy sauce. The entire 200 kilometers is only an artillery company of the field army here, and this is also arranged in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the field army, and generally the field army is on the defensive line, or in the interior, because the field army will not expand and attack when it is not a large-scale campaign, so there is no need to maintain so many troops, just leave only the backbone and officers.

Originally, there was nothing, some pirate attacks, the local garrison can repel them, some rebel attacks, a company of cavalry troops, can drive them to escape thousands of miles, but who knows, recently due to the battle between the Swedes and the Russians in Poland, the relationship between Russia and Sweden has been tense, a wave of Swedish soldiers supporting Poland After a storm blew all night, about two hundred warships suddenly appeared outside the port, they wanted to land, of course not, so the Swedes stormed the dock.

Don't look at Sweden doing business with the Chinese Empire, but in fact, they have not restored normal relations with the Chinese Empire for a long, long time, because the Chinese Empire supports Russia, and they are actually still enemies of the Chinese Empire, of course, they can't let the enemy land on them, and then make a detour to attack Russia, this is not just a matter of convenience, no matter the problem, this is their invasion of the territory of the Chinese Empire, because the Ural defense line is a hundred kilometers deep into the Ural Mountains is the territory of the Chinese Empire, which has long been with the Great Qing Dynasty, Russia agreed, signed a treaty, and now this is the territory of the Chinese Empire, and these lost Swedes want to land, not to mention their relationship with the Chinese Empire, just say that their army wants to rest and recuperate here, which is also not recognized, and to help the enemies of the allies, which will not be relieved by any country, so they have to fight back.
