In order to quell the Yao Huang Rebellion in northern Sichuan, the general Wang Chaoyang was recruiting soldiers and horses here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The military camp was built at the foot of Phoenix Mountain, ten miles north of the city, with an area of one mile wide, and there were tents everywhere inside, unlike the permanent houses built in the military camp in the previous life.

Just like the factory recruiting employees in the previous life, there was a rectangular table outside the camp, and several soldiers were sitting listlessly, shouting desperately every time they saw the men passing by, just like the black factory pulling employees in the previous life.

Seeing Yang Xuan carrying a book basket on his back, looking like a scholar, he kept saying that he wanted to be recruited into the army, and Wang Gui, the general in charge of recruitment, felt quite strange, and pointed at Yang Xuan and said: "You, you look like a scholar, you can't help but be weak, how can you be a lowly soldier like us?" ”

Yang Xuan was embarrassed, just like knowing that the other party was a black factory, but he had no choice but to enter the black factory, he explained again and again: "This big brother, he is a talent for the exam, you know that this township test is really a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and he was unlucky, and this time he fell into the mountains."

Now there is nowhere else to go, so I have to abandon my pen and follow Rong, hoping that my eldest brother can be contained. ”

After thinking about it again, this Yang Xuan has a strong taste of being a scholar, and he can't deny his identity as a scholar no matter what.

Like entering a black factory in his previous life, if he said that he was a doctor or master, how could a black factory on the other side dare to accept him?

In this case, he resolutely cannot admit that he has won the deputy list, only that he is a showman.

There are also a few scholars in the army, mainly registering their names, writing letters, and taking care of money and food, some of them are still children, and Xiucai is very rare.

Hearing that Yang Xuanxiu was born, Wang Gui immediately changed his smiling face, if there is really real material, he must stay, if the other party is a master under the general or something, he will not be able to benefit himself.

Pointing to the rice paper on the table, let me write my name on it, and write my place of origin.

Yang Xuan was frightened, he rarely used a brush in his previous life, and although his brain was Ah Xuan's memory, his behavior was the same as that of this poor scholar.

If the brush is written crookedly, it is not too faceless.

Everything went well, the name and place of origin were neatly written on the rice paper, and the font was very small, probably equivalent to the number four characters typed out, which made people admire the calligraphy attainments.

Looking at these neat small letters, the scribe registered next to him nodded again and again, full of praise, Xiucai is worthy of being Xiucai, and the font written is very beautiful.

This can make Ah Xuan secretly happy, it seems that although the body deity has only won the deputy list, it is still a young talent who is rich and rich in ancient times.

Wang Gui decided to officially recruit Yang Xuan, but instead of being a small soldier, he recommended him to become a secretary in the army.

Since the Song Dynasty, China has prevailed in the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force, and it has been rumored among the people that good men are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed.

In the Ming Dynasty, due to the trouble of the Tartars in the north and the trouble of the Japanese slaves in the south, although the scholars were good at talking about the army, they hoped that Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hong Chengchou would sit in the big tent of the Chinese army, strategize the curtain, and win the decisive victory over the commander thousands of miles away, and there were very few scholars in the army.

Yang Xuan was initially overjoyed, and then shook his head again and again to refuse.

Just like entering the factory in the previous life, many talents have been working at the grassroots level for a few years, and they have been rapidly promoted, and many of them have enjoyed the development prospects of the functional departments at the beginning are far inferior to those at the grassroots level.

I joined the army and enlisted in the army, not to enjoy Qingfu, but to escape the ruthless fate, if I can't change my fate, at least I can pull out a vote of people to go to Southeast Asia to claim the king.

The master didn't want to be the most grassroots soldier, everyone seemed quite puzzled, Wang Gui even thought that Yang Xuan was trying to play tricks on himself, and after the persuasion was ineffective, he asked for a competition on the spot.

Since ancient times, good men are not soldiers, and good iron is not nailed, but now it is recruitment, the treatment is good, and it is still attractive to countrymen, and it needs to be examined.

First it was running, then it was a stone lock, and finally it was an archery test.

A stick of incense, running around the barracks, more than two miles before and after, Yang Xuan is strong, Ah Xuan had also participated in running in his previous life, he ran quite easily, and soon ran back to the same place.

Easily completed the test, the results were no worse than many rural villagers, and everyone felt quite surprised, and everyone looked admiring.

Then the stone lock of more than 100 catties was lifted forward for more than 100 steps, Yang Xuan was a young scholar, although he was tall, but he rarely did hard work in the past, although he used all his strength, he only mentioned more than 50 steps, and he had to stop panting.

This can make everyone happy, this young reader is always inferior to his own, and it is very difficult to pick up the more than 100 catties of stone locks, which can make people find a reason for self-confidence.

The last is archery, which makes Yang Xuan seem quite difficult, he has never shot an arrow in his previous life, and he doesn't know the essentials of archery at all, so he is confused.

Picking up the longbow, Yang Xuan slowly put it down again, looked at everyone, and bluntly said that he couldn't shoot arrows.

This can make Wang Gui find a reason, the military camp stipulates that two unqualified ones are eliminated from the camp, and Yang Xuan is now just two unqualified, just to be a master.

Yang Xuan was in a dilemma, and suddenly saw a crossbow and a bird gun outside the barracks, and bluntly said that he was good at shooting crossbows and releasing guns.

Shooting crossbows is not unusual, bows and crossbows are the most important weapons of weapons, now I hear that Yang Xuan can shoot crossbows, everyone also has the heart to test, a crossbowman handed a crossbow arrow to Yang Xuan.

Slightly different from the bow and arrow, the crossbow is equipped with a wooden arm on the bow, which is equipped with a bracket that controls the bowstring to fire.

Yang Xuan sat on the ground, a pair of big hands with gloves grabbed the bowstring, kicked the back of the bow desperately with both feet, and used all his strength to complete the bow, buckle the bowstring on the teeth, and then stood up and flattened the crossbow, aimed at the distant target through Wangshan, and pulled the trigger.

There were six shots in a row, four of which were launched, and two were targeted, and the results were okay.

(About 100 meters, in ancient times, each step refers to the left and right feet of adults to take a step is a step, that is, two steps in our modern sense, an adult step is about 0.7 meters, considering that the ancients were shorter, the distance between the two steps is slightly shorter than today's.)

In addition, the "Nine Chapters of Calculation" stipulates that 240 square steps are one acre, and one acre is 666 square meters, so if one step is converted to 1.2 meters).

Everyone saw that Yang Xuan's crossbow shooting results were acceptable, and then I heard that he was good at firing guns, one by one was quite novel, because he was born with a fear of firearms, coupled with abnormal explosions, there were not many people in the army who were really good at firing guns.

Since the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Chinese began to use firearms, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the firearms in the army should not be less than one percent, Ming Yongle Emperor Zhu Di formed a Shenji battalion, and a large number of bird guns were introduced in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but due to the civilization of manufacturing technology, this bird guns are often blown up, plus firearms are not as easy to control as bows and crossbows, and there is a lack of good shooters in the army.

Taking the bird gun handed over by the soldiers, Yang Xuan frowned, if it was said that the old-fashioned shotgun he used in the past was quite simple, this bird gun was not only much simpler, but also rusty, tattered, and not wiped at all every day.

This bird gun is much shorter than the old shotgun, Yang Xuan used to use a full two meters long, but this bird gun is only about 120 centimeters.

This is the most primitive bird gun, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, many people wore iron armor outside, cotton in the middle, and chain mail inside, and it was difficult for ordinary bird guns to effectively shoot each other.

Xu Guangqi, a firearms expert in the late Ming Dynasty, designed a large bird gun with a barrel length of about 150 centimeters and a total length of nearly two meters.

This primitive bird gun weighs about 6 catties and 5 taels, has a total length of 120 centimeters, a barrel of 90 centimeters, a caliber of about 13 centimeters, and can fire three coins (about 12 grams) of lead.

The bird gun accessory includes a squeeze.

A tin turtle, shaped like a closed container of a soft-shelled turtle, is used to hold gunpowder.

A lead bag can hold 300 rounds of lead.

In addition to these large pieces, there are also five arquebuses, hammers, scissors, refining stones, medicine spoons, and ignition powder.

These are not unusual, but what is surprising is that there are actually thirty bamboo pipes on the waist of the bird's hand, and the bamboo pipes are actually wrapped in crude gunpowder (firing gunpowder) with oil paper strips, which is just the amount of one bullet. (This is based on Qi Jiguang's "Records of Military Training", which shows that the rudiments of paper bullets were already used in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in China.) ）

Although he was surprised by the ancients' behavior of wrapping gunpowder in oil strips of paper and then sealing them in bamboo tubes, Yang Xuan didn't have time to think about this now, and it was time to show everyone how good he was shooting.

And the soldiers have already moved the target to a hundred paces (120 meters) away, which is the standard of a marksman. (Col. George Hanger of the British Army wrote in 1814 that a soldier's rifle could hit a humanoid target 80 yards (73 m) or even 100 yards (91 m) away, if the chamber was not badly made; But if a soldier is targeted and wounded by an enemy with an ordinary gun from 150 yards (137 meters) away, then he is really very unlucky. If you want to shoot someone 200 yards away with a normal gun, you might as well shoot the moon instead, as the chances of hitting the target are the same.

If the 120m is around 130 yards, the probability of being hit is very low. ）

Yang Xuan is also making preparations for shooting, Qi Jiguang once summed up the trick of releasing the gun, and there are more than ten actions for the gun, while some people in the West even conclude that it takes more than 20 processes.

Just crossed, of course Yang Xuan didn't remember to put the gun, but basically the movements were still very familiar.

First, put the muzzle of the bird gun on the ground to remove the dirt from the medicine room, that is, wash the gun. In the era of black powder, gunpowder burned and left a residue that would accumulate more and more if it was not cleaned, making it difficult to contain lead and threatening to explode.

After the gun was washed, the handle of the gun was placed on the ground and loaded with gunpowder and lead.

First take out the bamboo tube, laboriously take out the strip of paper, bite the strip of paper with your teeth, pour the coarse gunpowder into the barrel, then take out a lead from the lead bag, put it in the muzzle of the gun with your fingers, and then take out the stick and squeeze it back and forth to build it solid.

Just firing, there is no dirt in the barrel and it is good to load, if you continue to not clean the dirt in the gun, by the fifth shot can only be loaded with lead with a smaller diameter.

Qi Jiguang asked to clean the dirt in the medicine room before each release, which could slow down this phenomenon a little.

Then he picked up the bird's gun, poured the ignition powder into the medicine room, and with the assistance of others, he lit the fire with flint, simply aimed at the target in front of him, held his breath, pulled the trigger, and the smoke rose, and the lead shot out of the barrel of the gun, passing through the bull's-eye a hundred paces away.

Wang Gui was shocked, the whole person stood up from the table, Qi Jiguang believed in "Records of Military Training" that as long as he could hit the target 100 steps (120 meters) away, he was considered a good shooter in the army.

Yang Xuan's entire action was done in one go, and he directly hit the bull's-eye a hundred steps away, and his marksmanship was far above him.
