The matter of Yang Xuan's abandonment of the pen from Rong has long been spread, and Xiucai joined the army and started from Xiaoqi, which made everyone feel incredible. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ancients often said that Xiucai met soldiers, but it was unreasonable, and the most learned master in the army was only from Xiucai, not to mention other general books, many of them were just children who had studied private schools for a few years.

Now there is a talented calligrapher who does not do it, but is willing to start from the big soldier, which is too unusual.

Holding on to the strangeness, many people stand far away, just like Ah Q, although Xiucai is good at reading, but leading troops to fight is not like us mud legs.

After watching it for a day, some people didn't think so, how could this show teach students like Mr. Teaching, far from being as vigorous and straightforward as everyone usually comes.

In his hand, this talented little flag leader, the total Wang Gui is like holding a porcelain bowl, although he has opinions, he is not like shouting at other small flag chiefs, general flags, and Bai Zong, but vaguely tells everyone's opinions.

In his previous life, Yang Xuan lived at the grassroots level, and he already knew what the world was cold and cold, and he already knew what Wang Gui meant, but now he sees that the other party has brought it up, and his attitude is sincere, but he will not repent and will not make the chief angry.

The armory workshop is arranged at the foot of the mountain, more than 30 craftsmen listlessly repair all kinds of weapons, the Ming Dynasty pays attention to the agriculture and industry, and the local craftsmen are directly under the management of the Ministry of Industry and the local workshop, just like the merchants and farmers, and they are not allowed to change their identities at will.

By the middle of the Ming Dynasty, this rigid management system had existed in name only, and the shift system and shift system were implemented in various places, and the shift craftsmen still needed to work on a monthly basis, and the shift craftsmen needed to go to the yamen regularly on errands.

But if other people's businesses are doing well, and you let them go on errands, don't you completely abolish the business of these artisans?

In this case, many craftsmen are not willing to go at all, and there are many who flee and hide, and the Ming Dynasty stipulates that each shift craftsman pays four coins and five cents of "class craftsman silver" every year during the Jiajing period, thus abolishing the shift system, but the shift system is still not abolished.

Most of the thirty craftsmen recruited were sitting masters, and everyone was conscripted into labor to repair weapons in the army, and they were full of complaints, and suddenly saw the head of the craftsman walking in with a general, and everyone immediately accelerated the work in their hands, so as not to be scolded by the head of the craftsman.

Pointing to the man who was covered with patches, pockmarked faces, and strong body, the craftsman smiled and said: "Yang Xiaoqi, Gou Fugui's ancestors have been experts in building bird guns for three generations, what do you need to know, can you ask Master Gou?"

Lao Gou, don't underestimate this military master, but he was born in a serious show and joined the army, although he is only a small flag now, but the future is definitely limitless. ”

Gou Fugui was shocked, trembling and moving out of the bench and asking Yang Xuan to sit down.

Although the ground is quite messy, but he did it in the factory in his previous life, and now he wants to steal the real kung fu, how can Yang Xuan put on an official stand, pointing to the weapon that is being repaired, and shook his head again and again: "Master Gou, the work is important, let's talk while we do, I'll pull the bellows, and you strike the iron." ”

Gou Fugui was at a loss when he heard this, but seeing that Yang Xuan was so persistent, it was not easy to say anything, everyone took turns pulling the bellows, taking turns striking iron, and slowly chatting about the casting of this bird.

After that, Yang Xuan practiced during the day, worked as a helper in the armory workshop at night, and in the dead of night, he lit a kerosene lamp and read books such as "Records of Military Training", "Excellent Documentary Results", "Heavenly Creations", "Principles of Geometry", and "Illustrations of Military Flags" to pass the time.

Although I used to read ten lines at a glance, it was too laborious to read ancient books, and although I often dabbled in various ancient classical Chinese in my previous life, it was another thing to actually pick up ancient books.

Not to mention that all of them are traditional characters, they are different from simplified characters, and it is very headache to say this sentence alone.

If you want to figure out the meaning, you need to read it roughly, then try to break the sentence, then re-understand the meaning, and then break the sentence again.

An article often needs to be read back and forth several times, and finally the author's original intention is completely misunderstood because of a sentence break.

Yang Xuan felt that life was like a year, just like suddenly entering a new company in his previous life, everything was new, what he saw and heard was not very reasonable, and he needed a lot of improvement, while the people around him did not realize it at all and were indifferent.

Sometimes Yang Xuan also felt helpless and full of frustration.

In addition to teaching everyone how to maintain guns, explaining the structure of weapons, and the principle of shooting, in addition to reciting the mantra of releasing guns, Yang Xuan incorporated some physical training in his previous life into his training.

In his previous life, he was well-informed, and the training method was of course very innovative, constantly training, constantly summarizing, and encouraging everyone to keep speaking, not at all as lifeless as other small flags.

However, the soldiers' ability to accept is very limited, and many of them do not distinguish between their left and right feet, and their left and right hands are messy, and they can't get out of any momentum at all.

Also, this loading ammunition is only more than a dozen actions, although cumbersome, but as long as you practice diligently, you should also remember, but what is quite frustrating is that there are many people who can't remember, and the actions are often messy, causing people to complain.

In addition, the health of people in this era is quite poor, everyone eats half full at every meal, and they are skinny and skinny, and they have no strength at all.

Training is annoying, but in the weapons workshop, it is like a fish in water, often eye-opening, only more than ten days of hard work, Yang Xuan has mastered the various essentials of bird gun building, and understands the problem.

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen is very low, but also exploited, take this bird gun as an example, the imperial court stipulates that a bird gun is only 4 taels of silver, a hundred years ago the price of silver was stable, the craftsman still had a little money to earn, but these decades the silver is becoming less and less valuable, and the craftsman who builds the bird gun does not earn much.

Ten catties of pig iron can create more than one catty of fine iron, and one bird gun needs sixty or seventy catties of pig iron, and it takes three or four people to build a month's work.

Yang Xuan didn't understand at first, this bird gun only has a few accessories, no matter how to build it, it won't take a month, right? But if you try it in the workshop, there is really no way to change it at present.

In order to ensure that the inner wall of the barrel is smooth and avoid exploding, the craftsman needs to sharpen the inner wall of the barrel with a file, and people can only sharpen it 1 inch (3 cm long) a day, so as not to leave any ammunition embers, so as not to affect the airtightness of the gun.

It takes a month to grind a bird's gun, and that's even longer if you rely entirely on manual work.

It takes a month for the craftsman to fix the barrel and then push the stone mill to polish the inner wall of the barrel with a file fixed to the stone mill.

In addition, there is also a problem with the design of the bird gun itself, just like the guns in the previous life, the chamber should be thicker, and the muzzle can be thinner, but the bird gun is not like this, there is no change from the chamber to the muzzle, so after continuous shooting, there will be an explosion.

Yang Xuan was on the front line at three o'clock every day, running between the school, the weapons workshop, and the camp, and he didn't notice that he had become a hot topic in the army.

Some people think that Yang Xuan is too lenient in leading the troops, and the soldiers who make mistakes are only punished for training, and rarely whip and teach lessons, and some are like teachers in private schools, but Ci is not in charge of the troops, although the surface of such training is infinite, but when he goes to the battlefield, he pees his pants.

But half a month later, in the company's internal drill (equivalent to a battalion-level competition), among the 12 firearms flags of the whole division, Yang Xuan overwhelmed the crowd and won the first place, so that those opponents lost convincingly.

Although a large number of firearms were assembled in the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period, more than 3 percent after the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the soldiers' fear of exploding the chamber and insufficient shooting training, the newly recruited soldiers and horses like Wang Chaoyang were especially bad.

First of all, loading ammunition, before and after 145 actions, because everyone usually rarely trained, either less gunpowder, or less lead, some did not use the bark to compact, directly loaded with gunpowder, a round of competition, only two or three small flags did not go wrong.

The other flags are worried about the fire rope igniting the ignition of the gunpowder, and they are worried about exploding, not only the action is not standardized, but also often misses the target.

But Yang Xuan's firearms squad is different, ten days ago, he searched for the book of soldiers and found the trick of releasing the gun, and now everyone has memorized it by heart, and every soldier can memorize it backwards, namely:

One wash, two medicine, three medicine, four lead, five lead, six paper, seven paper, eight open doors, nine medicine, ten press the fire rope, eleven listen to the order to open the fire door, press the fire rope is seven words, not conducive to memory.

In the past, the formula was often mixed with different words, such as three words for one wash and two medicines, and four words for the four leads, five for lead, etc., and ten still open the fire door, and press the fire rope is seven words, which is not conducive to memory.

Yang Xuan is from modern times, of course he knows some memory skills, and all of them have been changed to three words, which are simple and clear, and everyone can memorize them in one breath.

In addition, in the past half a month, Yang Xuan has not only continued to explain the principle of shooting, continue to do experiments and verification, and overcome everyone's fears, but more importantly, he has continued to demonstrate and train every day.

The most important method of modern military training is to constantly practice in practice, and the most basic ability of a person is to constantly imitate.

In this way, although it is only half a month, its results are far from being comparable to other small flags.
