For a few days in a row, Li Zicheng stayed in the school all day, and he wanted to use the time before the winter vacation to impart as much knowledge as possible, especially the science part that had just been compiled.

Xining Girls' School is considered a test field for him, he has been teaching for more than a year, with the expansion of Xining Wei and the increase in the population of the Li family, his affairs are more complicated, but as long as he stays in Xining, he will find a certain amount of time to teach in the school.

It wasn't until the 25th day of the lunar month that the students took the carriage in Weili and went home in the snow, and Li Zicheng was idle.

Actually, I'm not really idle, it's just a different way of being busy.

Almost at the same time that the students' carriage left Xining, Li Zicheng came to the craftsman's workshop with his own soldiers.

Although the number of people has increased and the speed of casting guns has accelerated, these strong men recruited are all novices, and the speed has not increased for the time being, and the rifles and parts they create need to be tested by skilled hands, and the efficiency has not reached the maximum.

However, the second hundred rifles have been built and have just been delivered to the 500th household, and the next batch is now being built, which is still slightly faster than Li Zicheng's original expectations.

As the new hands mature, the speed of building rifles will increase even faster.

Li Zicheng's minimum target, at least before planting in the spring of next year, must all distribute Xining rifles to all the five hundred households in Zhou Bin's department.

At that time, even if these strong men who were temporarily recruited wanted to go home to farm, they would not delay the training of the 500th household, and the rifles built next would be delivered to the 700th household of Song Wen, if the speed was a little slower, it would not hurt.

Coming out of the craftsman's workshop, Li Zicheng turned directly to the training ground.

The ground was covered with thick snow, and the cold wind blew so cold that people's nostrils could barely send air, but the training ground in Xining was still overcrowded, and the sound of shouting and killing, mixed with the loud orders of the officers, could still be heard far away.

The whole training ground is divided into two halves, the hot and cold arms are completely different situations, on the east side of the training ground, the gunners of the two hundred households of the Zhou Bin Department are making tactical contacts, and there are only more than 200 soldiers, almost occupying half of the training ground, but except for the "bang, bang" sound of the rifle from time to time, all the soldiers are silent, and even the shooting order is given by the silent command of the standard-bearer.

In Li Zicheng's eyes, the traditional soldiers with knives and guns on the west side of the training ground are more majestic, and the number of soldiers is much larger, with the remaining five hundred households in the Zhou Bin Department, the five hundred households in the Song Wen Department, and the six infantry without war horses in the Ma Youshui Department.

Nearly 2,000 soldiers, crammed into such a small space, still have to carry out group confrontation and actual combat exercises, which seems to be very crowded, and if it were not for the consistently well-trained Xining Army, it would almost be chaotic.

Li Zicheng came to the east side of the training ground, Zhou Bin immediately handed over the task of training to his deputy, and trotted over to greet him, "Subordinate Zhou Bin, knock to meet your lord!" ”

"No need to be polite, get up!" Li Zicheng looked at the gunners who were training, even in the cold wind, even in the snow, the soldiers were immovable.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that Zhou Bin's weekday training is quite strict.

Most of these gunmen were new recruits, recruited by Zhou Bin after he returned to Xining, and the training lasted only a few months.

In the battle of Triangle City, the mortality rate of Zhou Bin's subordinates reached forty percent, plus those who were disabled and could not continue to be in the army, should have more than sixty percent of the battle losses, however, the soldiers who continued to stay were basically promoted to officers at all levels, and these veterans set up skeletons, and the main general Zhou Bin was still there, and the combat effectiveness of the 500 households would definitely not be too bad, which was why Li Zicheng stepped up to arm the 500 households with rifles.

Even if the time is shorter, the soldiers are also well trained, but I don't know what the actual effect is.

"How's the training going, brothers? When will I be able to go to war? ”

Zhou Bin was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had another combat mission, but Li Zicheng looked light-hearted, maybe he just asked casually, and said: "The training time of the brothers is too short, if you want to go to the battlefield, at least ...... At least another month! ”

If you can go to the battlefield in a month, it is indeed a god speed, among which there is a soldier from a hundred households, who has just gotten a rifle, Li Zicheng nodded, "The training ground is too small, does it affect the training effect?" ”

Zhou Bin was also helpless, and said: "Now there are only two hundred households, if you add rifles, I am afraid that the training ground will ...... It's not enough, the range of the rifle is too long, now it's a drill, try to increase the range ......"

Li Zicheng remembered that Ma Youshui trained the gunners last time, it was to bring the soldiers outside the city to practice the method of dealing with cavalry, once the 500th household became an army, the first enemy was the Mongolian Maili cadre, who was the nomadic cavalry, "Zhou Bin, the training ground is indeed too small, and it will not be able to requisition land to expand the barracks for a while and a half, you will take the soldiers outside the city for training, and adapt to the terrain in the field!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Bin had long felt that the training ground in the city was too small, and he was worried that the training outside the city would reveal the secrets of the Xining Army, since the adults asked them to go outside the city, there was nothing to worry about, "My lord, I will go to the outside of the city for training in the afternoon." ”

Li Zicheng wrapped Ma Youshui around a straw man on the horseback, trained the method of dealing with cavalry, and said in detail, "Cavalry will always be the most powerful enemy in Xining. ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates understand!" Zhou Bin doesn't have to worry about horses, Liu Yunshui is in Xining, at this critical moment of training, I believe that he will lend war horses, if not, you can also let the adults coordinate it.

But he had never heard of such a method of training gunners, and he didn't know how the adults came up with it, and when Ma Youshui trained gunners, he was still stationed in Sanchuan Mansion, and he didn't know the situation in Xining at all.

"In addition, let the soldiers of the five hundred households take turns to conduct training, with a limit of three to five days, and rotate at the end of the period, so that the soldiers of the five hundred households can receive effective training."

"Yes, my lord's subordinates will definitely formulate a plan and adopt the strategy of rotation training, and strive to make the soldiers of the five hundred households go hand in hand."

"During the bye period of training, the brothers will not be idle," Li Zicheng pointed to his head, "Let them think about how to improve the combat efficiency of the rifle and how to kill and injure the enemy more effectively!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Bin didn't know why Li Zicheng was so anxious to train the soldiers, so he said tentatively: "My lord, is there a new combat mission?" ”

"As a soldier, you must always be ready to go to the battlefield," Li Zi
