The rifled gunners of the Sunit Mongol generals, who had arranged to shoot at the city defenses, used a few real rifled guns, arquebuses, that had been captured from the Dutch that night.

The eight arquebuses were more complicated to operate than the Portuguese arquebuses that Zhang Qiang and his simplified ones had simplified, with at least four or five steps missing.

After continuous research, François has simplified the Portuguese arquebus, which required forty or fifty procedures to fire, to more than thirty, while the 1.0 version of the arquebus firing program has only more than twenty, which is seven or eight fewer than the previous arquebus program.

The Dutch, on the other hand, had even fewer arquebus rifled guns, with only a dozen firing procedures.

The Dutch's rifled guns only have seven or eight firing procedures, but the shortcomings are significant, the steel wheel fires, it takes a lot of force to pull the trigger, and the firing rate is not high, that is, after pulling the trigger, it may not produce sparks, and it may not ignite the gunpowder in the powder pool, although the rifled guns have a long range, fast speed, and the bullet can fly to the intended target according to your ideas, but if it can't be fired, it will be in vain, so after receiving the news from the spies in the city, Wei Wuji will bring more than a dozen captured Dutch rifled guns to pick out, Let them use arquebus-rifled guns.

Arquebus rifled guns, as the name suggests, are arquebuses that are fired with a rifled gunpowder that ignites the gunpowder with a rifle to ensure that the bullet accurately hits the enemy.

As long as it doesn't rain, as long as the fire rope and gunpowder are not damp and not blown away by the wind, then the fire rate of eighty percent is almost a sure thing.

It is said that this arquebus should become the standard equipment of Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army, which is more than half of the arquebus still used by the Qing army, the Ming army, the Dutch, and the Portuguese, and Zhang Qiang asked François to improve the arquebus technology, and did not add rifled guns, this is because Zhang Qiang did not want the enemy to enter the arquebus era faster.

The area occupied by the Qing army is much larger than that of the Ming army in the Southern Ming Dynasty, most of China is occupied by them, many places are rich in resources, large agricultural areas, and large populations, and the enemy is not the Japanese in the drama of the War of Resistance against Japan, they don't know how to learn, the Jurchens in the Qing army, there is no lack of wise people in the ruling class, there is no lack of people with strategic foresight, they will quickly learn the tactics, methods, and even science and technology of the Jinhua Righteous Army.

What's more, there are more outstanding Chinese Han talents to help, with the current strength of Zhang Qiang, if he is forced to go north, he can defeat the Qing army with advanced technology and advanced weapons, how can he govern the people in such a large area of land, how can he say to those people who are already familiar with the rule of the Qing army, I will rule you, they will definitely not be willing.

What's more, there is also the legal and orthodox court of the Southern Ming Dynasty fighting against the Qing army, when the time comes, Zhang Qiang will give them territory, give them officials, and then put an emperor on his head, and then like the protagonists in all historical crossings, he will face them with a ridiculous display, and my Great Heavenly Dynasty will face them with such an attitude, and then have a palace fight with them like Zhen Huan's legend?

Zhang Qiang doesn't have that kind of patience, either kill them all, or you all obey me, a mere worker, an otaku, that can fight every day in the blink of an eye is a Ming scholar who plays conspiracy and tricks, what about the Ming court?

Therefore, the measures taken by Zhang Qiang are to fight steadily, step by step, consume a territory and then digest a territory, the main purpose at present is to recover the entire territory of Zhejiang, and then create contradictions for the Qing army and the Ming army, all the forces, just like the Great Soviet and the Great United States, export contradictions and ideas, and let them fight.

So at the moment, Zhang Qiang is still just improving the advanced nature of the arquebus, taking the rhythm into his own hands, the arquebus has no way, even the Ming army and the Qing army are equipped with muskets, bird guns, are also a kind of arquebus, and the Western Tessians, Dutch, Spaniards, Portuguese, now the main equipment is still arquebus.

Now the main standard equipment of the Jinhua Righteous Army is the improved version 1.0 of the imitation Portuguese arquebus made by the Jinhua Righteous Army.

Lighter gun body, suitable length, fixed bullets, gunpowder, granular gunpowder, longer range, more accurate hit rate, greater power, less smoke, bayonets, sights, rapid change of tactical formation, reduce the cover of traditional arms, increase the addition of artillery arms, in this way, Zhang Qiang's Jinhua Righteous Army still maintains a level above the enemy's combat effectiveness, but will not be too surpassed.

Zhang Qiang named the 1.0 version of the arquebus manufactured by the Jinhua Yijun Jingai 1 arquebus, and the 2.0 is the Jingai 2 arquebus.

At present, Zhang Qiang's direct musketeer unit is in full swing, originally there were 13,000 people, but with the two battles against the pirates, it has been continuously sent out, and there are still 6,000 people in Jinhua Mansion under his direct command.

Zhang Qiang retrained them for half a month, and eliminated the lowest skilled infantry, and the lowest soldiers in his direct troops were now senior musketeer soldiers, making his direct troops more elite, leaving 4,000 people.

The eliminated infantry and musketeers were incorporated into the new troops, which included infantry, archers, crossbowmen, pikemen, cavalry, baggage troops, and engineering troops, which were organized into the field brigade of the Jinhua Righteous Army.

The main job is to go out to fight and leave it to the generals under his command.

The 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade of the Field Brigade are Jinhuafu troops.

The 3rd Brigade and the 4th Brigade of the Field Brigade are the troops of Taizhou Prefecture.

The 5th Brigade of the Field Brigade and the 6th Brigade of the State Government were assigned to the troops.

The 7th Brigade of the Field Brigade was sent to Wenzhou, the 8th Brigade was sent to Xinghuafu, the 9th Brigade was sent to Ningbo, the 10th Brigade was sent to Shaoxingfu, the 11th Brigade was sent to Hangzhou, the 12th Brigade was sent to Jianningfu, the 13th Brigade was sent to Quzhoufu, and the 14th Brigade was sent to Guangzhou.

Of course, there are not so many elite troops now, and there are not so many weapons and equipment, and they are currently only organized into 3 brigades.

1 to 3 brigades.

If you want to enter these brigades, you must be skilled soldiers, the general soldiers of the Jinhua Volunteer Army can only serve as soldiers in the garrison troops, and some of the eliminated skilled soldiers can only serve as squad leaders in the garrison troops, some senior soldiers serve as platoon commanders in the garrison units, elite soldiers serve as company commanders, and battalion commanders are served by elite soldiers.

This is the composition of the soldiers of the garrison after the adjustment.

In the field brigade, skilled soldiers are just ordinary soldiers, senior soldiers are only squad leaders, elite soldiers are only platoon commanders, elite soldiers are only company commanders, and professional soldiers are battalion commanders.

A field brigade consisted of 4,000 troops, plus a cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, a baggage battalion, an engineering battalion, and a brigade headquarters guard cavalry battalion.

The four thousand households are the 1,000-household battalion of musketeers, the 1,000-household battalion of infantry, the 1,000-household battalion of spearmen, and the 1,000-household battalion of cavalry.

The baggage barracks consisted of 100 households of archers and 100 households of infantry. The engineering battalion consisted of 100 households of infantry and 100 households of crossbowmen.

The cavalry battalion consisted of one scout hundred, one lancer hundred.

The cavalry battalion directly under the brigade headquarters consists of two general flags: the general flag of the herald, the general flag of the sentinel, and the general banner of the chasers, which form a hundred households, plus a hundred households of lancers.

A total of 7,800 troops.

It can be said that this establishment is quite large, but this can ensure that when facing the Qing army at present, a field brigade can directly fight the enemy, and even fight an enemy several times its own.

Such a complete and powerful establishment reminded Zhang Qiang of the field brigade of the Japanese army invading China in later generations, which was similar to the field brigade in later generations, and Zhang Qiang didn't know why he used this name and establishment in a ghostly way.

These field brigades still use gold-modified 1 arquebuses.

Because the Jinhua Rebels produced too many arquebuses, after defeating their biggest customers, the Portuguese and the Dutch, although the sales of his arquebuses were taken over by the Spaniards who were fighting with the Dutch, they would never buy his arquebuses every day, and the Spaniards themselves could also produce arquebuses, so Zhang Qiang would not equip the field brigades with the Jinkai 1 arquebuses that were still in the warehouse of the Jinhua Rebels.

He thought about it for a while, and it was better to equip his own Guards Brigade with the most advanced Jingai Type 2.

The Jingai Type 2 had just been finalized, and the output was not too much, and he didn't want his future enemies to use the most advanced weapons, so he created a reorganized army, releasing the arquebusiers under his direct jurisdiction and handing them over to his henchmen and favorite generals.

In the Guards Brigade, the squad leader is an elite soldier, the company commander is an elite soldier, the battalion commander is a professional soldier, and Chiho is a professional officer with outstanding contributions.

Zhang Qiang's coaching skills have reached the full level, and he can only train professional soldiers, which is equivalent to non-commissioned officers, and the officers to be promoted in the later stage can only be promoted from those professional soldiers.

And many of these professional soldiers have served as deputy squad leaders, squad leaders, company commanders, battalion commanders, thousands of households, and meritorious service awards, in the previous battles, in the bandits, outstanding performance, especially in command outstanding officers, and a multi-skilled, that is, cavalry experience, and infantry hand-to-hand combat experience, and archers, hiding behind the experience of shooting the enemy, and even have the experience of participating in naval battles, so Zhang Qiang set up a professional officer rank above the non-commissioned officer, so that these soldiers can get the rank of promotion, Now they have been promoted to full-fledged officer posts.

Even the soldiers are elite soldiers, this is the real elite troops, and only such troops are worthy of serving as his guards soldiers.

The Guards Brigade is organized into six 1,000 units of musketeers equipped with Jingai-2 arquebuses, two artillery units of 1,000 households equipped with horse-drawn artillery, two cavalry units of 1,000 households, 1 baggage unit of 1,000 households, 1 engineering unit of 1,000 households, 1 pikemen unit of 1,000 households, 1 crossbow unit of 1,000 households, and 1 brigade headquarters of 1,000 households, with a herald cavalry battalion, a chaser cavalry battalion, and a scout cavalry battalion.

The entire Guards Brigade was twenty-one thousand people.

This, this is not a brigade, this is a division.

However, Zhang Qiang feels that it is not easy to command the current large establishment, and these new concepts are not easy for people to accept at once, and he is ready to slowly instill these things into the people of this era.
