ps: Thanks for the re-tipping of "The Snow Has Withered on a Winter Night"!

After the armament of the Ordnance Bureau was delivered, Li Xiuwen simply moved to the barracks and instructed the soldiers to train every day.

Li Xiuwen's main thing for them to practice was more accurate point shooting. There's nothing to say about the pistol's target, just practice more.

For the infantry, Li Xiuwen re-taught them three-stage shooting.

The soldiers in the first row immediately retreated after firing, and the soldiers in the second row followed closely to fill in, replacing the soldiers in the third row after firing again.

In this way, when the third row of soldiers finished firing, the original first row of soldiers had already reloaded their ammunition and made up their positions.

This way of firing makes up for the defect that the firing interval is too slow.

This kind of coordination method is much better than the original swarm of swarms and then reload ammunition en masse. Many of the generals present were amazed by this.

And that's just the beginning. Li Xiuwen's plan was to wait for them to become proficient in the operation of the bird guns, and then conduct training in three-column shooting.

The three-column type is a more detailed division of labor, one person holds a gun, one person loads ammunition and loads, and one person is responsible for igniting the charge.

In this way, the interval between shots will be reduced again, the gun will be fired faster, and it will be able to fire the enemy with the tightest possible shots, inflicting maximum damage on them.

One bite can't make a big fat man, Li Xiuwen is not in a hurry. Most of these people were new recruits, and few of the old soldiers were really proficient in guns.

It was also because of these three columns that Li Xiuwen decided to expand the number of soldiers. The three of them are equipped with a bird gun, which is not much different from the original number of infantry equipment.

The cost of the bird gun is very high, and if the whole battalion is equipped with infantry, it is not impossible, but it is not necessary.

One hand, the effect is not as good as three people, who will spend this unjust money?

Anyway, it's just the initial training now, and the battalion by battalion is pulled to train, and the bird guns are still enough. After the division of labor in the future, there is no need to worry about this problem.

In addition to the infantry standing and shooting, Li Xiuwen also demanded that the cavalry should be able to sit on horseback and shoot accurately when the horses were running and bumping.

This can toss the cavalry enough, this kind of training is too difficult, the first day of training, some people began to complain.

In this regard, Li Xiuwen only has one sentence: "What I want is a trump card!" ”

He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't conduct such training now, he would really go to the battlefield in the future, and it would not play much role.

The treatment of the Shenji Battalion is good, and the military discipline of the Shenji Battalion is also very strict. Anyone who is unwilling to train, who runs to be lazy, and who walks and rumors interferes with training will be arrested and beaten with 30 military sticks, and those who refuse to change their ways will be directly dismissed from the army.

What the Shenji Battalion wants is the elite, the tiger wolf, and the trump card. Be deliberate and treat this as a job, sorry, this is not for you!

The most important thing in the army is that there are clear rewards and punishments, and if there is only strict military discipline, the soldiers will definitely resist under the high-pressure training.

Li Xiuwen also formulated a reward system, and soldiers with outstanding performance in training could be promoted exceptionally.

You must know that the Shenji Battalion rarely has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and serious training can get promotion, who wouldn't want to?

Everyone is working hard to improve. They understand very well that only by performing well in front of their bosses can they have a chance to stand out.

The armors of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are all brand new. Li Xiuwen, a big salt merchant, put all the money he earned from selling smuggled salt into military expenses.

At his request, the iron armor weighing dozens of catties specially made by Jingying was changed to iron only to protect important parts, and the other parts were light leather armor.

As a result, the weight is greatly reduced, and the soldiers are able to fight flexibly while minimizing serious injuries.

At this time, it was summer, and Li Xiuwen took the Shenji Camp to train every day, and he had tanned a lot for more than a month, but he was a little more heroic between his eyebrows.

Li Xiuwen knew that one of the enemies he would face in the future was the Manchu Iron Cavalry, so he had arranged for Li Dong to be a cavalryman.

Although he can't show favoritism, as long as he takes special care of himself during training, Li Dong will naturally have more opportunities to get support.

These days, Li Dong's performance has been really good, and Li Xiuwen took advantage of the situation to promote him to the position of leader.

On this day, Li Xiuwen received news that Fang Ning had returned to Beijing.

He instructed Zhang Luoyan and He Kuan, and after continuing to train with the soldiers, he left the Shenji Battalion alone.

Fang Ning's errand in Jiangnan was ordered to arrest a person, this person was named Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party and Wen Tiren's opponent. was once returned to his hometown by Wen Tiren, and now he has been at home for eight years.

Li Xiuwen still has some impressions of him from the history of his previous life. One of the reasons is that he was dozens of years old and married Liu Rushi in the Eight Yan of the Qinhuai River; Another reason is the allusion to "the water is too cold".

It is said that when the Qing soldiers broke through the Southern Ming Dynasty, his wife Liu Ru persuaded him to throw himself into the lake and die for the country, he said, "The water is too cold, let's come back tomorrow." ”

Among the first assistants in Chongzhen's time, Wen Tiren worked for the longest time, and the most people fell, but Li Xiuwen was really not afraid of him. He knew very well in his heart that Wen Tiren had been in Chongzhen for ten years and was planted in the hands of Qian Qianyi. As long as you hold on, you can wait until the time when this old fox kills himself.

He really can't help it, he has been letting people monitor Wen Tiren before, but he always can't get the other party's black materials. Many people have impeached Wen Tiren, but nothing has come to a good end.

Li Xiuwen knew that if he didn't have enough evidence, he wouldn't be able to move this first assistant. Wen Tiren did not fall, and he did not dare to implement the plan of Wang Sanwei of Fuzhou at will.

Only when Wen Tiren falls, let Xue Guoguan go up, and he wants to coerce him to support this matter, can he be more sure of success.

Previously, Li Xiuwen had said hello and asked the people of Jinyiwei to pay attention to see when Wen Tiren would deal with Qian Qianyi.

Although history goes like this, Li Xiuwen doesn't dare to be careless, his appearance is a variable, if something changes, wouldn't it be in vain?

It was also because of this that after listening to the news brought by Fang Ning, he seemed a little hesitant.

In the end, Li Xiuwen decided to push this matter and hasten Wen Tiren's demise.

The key to this matter is Fang Ning's body.

On the way to escort Qian Qianyi back to Beijing, Fang Ning kept boasting about how Li Xiuwen was favored by the Holy Grace, that is, he was instructed by him.

In fact, Qian Qianyi was thinking about how to save himself all the way. After listening to Li Xiuwen's name and deeds, he decided to ask him for help. For this reason, it is a bribe from the other party.

This is really Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

How could he have thought that he was just a pawn of Li Xiuwen? (To be continued.) )
