Li Dingguo used to be a thief, and later saw grassland warfare by Hong Chengchou's side, these battles are characterized by high mobility, and the play of the cavalry is very important, which is indeed different from what is taught here in the Jingshi Junior Military Preparation Hall.
Of course, the south and the north are rich and vast, and there are all kinds of terrains, such as the plains in the north, the jungles in the south, the mountains in the west, the water towns in the east, and so on.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to select a few more places after the model of the primary military hall of the Beijing division matured, and also set up other primary military halls according to regional characteristics, so as to teach the distinctive combat methods and methods of each place.
Of course, some of the characteristics of regional operations that he knew were mainly those that he learned from all sources of information such as films, television, and networks in later generations, and he would write them out for reference in these military units, but more importantly, he still had to summarize the local military that was familiar with the local combat mode.
When there are more primary martial arts halls and mature, Emperor Chongzhen will establish intermediate martial arts halls. The focus of this intermediate martial arts hall is the region, which is to teach the combat of two or more terrains, after all, the terrain in some places is complex, and there is more than one type. Cadets will be selected from the junior military hall, and only those with excellent grades or outstanding combat achievements in the army will be eligible for further study.
After these are ripe, a high-level martial arts hall will be established in Jingshi. This high-level martial arts hall, Emperor Chongzhen and Zu Dashou had a conversation, but in the future, the principal of this high-level martial arts hall was personally served by Emperor Chongzhen himself, which is equivalent to the jinshi among the scholars, and they have to take the palace test, claiming to be the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven.
At this time, after Emperor Chongzhen listened to Li Dingguo's words, he encouraged him a few words, and then said to Mao Yuanyi: "Bi Qing, director of the Ordnance Bureau, will bring something good later, it is an improved model of this flintlock pistol, and it needs to be delayed for a little time." Let's tell me about the training of the flintlock pistols! β
Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard it. An improved model of a flintlock pistol, what is it? Could it be that a more powerful musket has been invented?
Thinking so, they were a little curious about what kind of flintlock pistol the head of the Ordnance Bureau would bring when the time came. Mao Yuanyi was curious, so he took a flintlock pistol from the guard, and gave Emperor Chongzhen his training while demonstrating.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen reviewed the standard training process for flintlock pistols, and even put forward some suggestions for improvement, so that this standard process can ensure that it is the best process for flintlock pistols, including fixed loading with paper shells, three-stage shooting, and so on. As for the ratio and granularity of gunpowder, at this time, they have actually been mastered, and they are strictly proportioned by the Ordnance Bureau according to the optimal effect.
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, the minister conducted experiments on this three-stage round shot according to three different sets of patterns. It is better to rotate the flintlock pistol, or to rotate the flintlock pistol with the soldier, judging from the results of preliminary tests, it is better to achieve the best results. Mao Yuanyi talked eloquently in front of Emperor Chongzhen.
"This is mainly our Ming flintlock pistol, and there are subtle differences between each one. If only the flintlock pistol is rotated, the amount of gunpowder and the size of the lead bullet will have an impact on the final shooting effect, and if the flintlock pistol is rotated with the soldier, the soldier is familiar with his flintlock pistol and has prepared the most suitable charge and lead bullet in advance, so it can be guaranteed from the details......
Emperor Chongzhen often said in front of his ministers, especially in places such as the New Army, the Ordnance Bureau, and the War Bureau, that practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Mao Yuanyi, as the chief teacher of the new army, can be said to be one of the ministers who has contact with Emperor Chongzhen, and he naturally does it according to the holy will.
It's not a sycophant! For people who do practical things, they can naturally understand that this sentence does indeed tell the true meaning of doing things. With the support of leaders, they are naturally willing to practice.
After saying this, Mao Yuanyi changed his words and said: "However, the requirements in the "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" are different, and it is necessary to select the musket with the same specifications as possible in advance and organize it into a team, so that the front row is full-time shooting, and the back row is full-time loading, familiar with the door, practice makes perfect, in actual combat or better than the current minister's training method!" β
Emperor Chongzhen listened, looked at the three rows of soldiers standing in front of him, and asked thoughtfully: "What does Qing mean is that the flintlock pistols currently purchased are not enough for Qing to select the flintlock pistols that meet the requirements, and such a training summary has been carried out on the basis of the currently available ones?" β
"Your Majesty Mingjian!" Mao Yuanyi knew that he didn't have to worry, the emperor was a master of this way.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard the reply, he frowned slightly and nodded. The flintlock pistol was manufactured for much longer than the arquebus. At present, the Ordnance Bureau is trying to assemble the line operation, but it has not yet completed the improvement of the entire process, so it cannot provide enough flintlock pistols for Mao Yuanyi to choose.
However, this is not a problem, the new army will be officially equipped with flintlock pistol units, which will be relatively sufficient after the end of the war in Gaizhou next year. There is also a big difference between hand-made flintlock pistols made by different craftsmen, and Bi Maokang must try to solve it in the future.
Mao Yuanyi then continued to explain some of the conclusions he had drawn during the training, and after he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "These are valuable experiences, and Qing should record them." β
"Wechen understands!" Mao Yuanyi himself is a person who has written military books, so how can he not bother to record what he has practiced. But the emperor explained, so he naturally had to respond immediately.
At this time, the director of the Ordnance Bureau, Bi Maokang, hurriedly arrived with a family member. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, especially the generals such as Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, and their eyes were even brighter, as if they wanted to see the flowers from Bi Maokang.
I saw that Bi Maokang was following behind him, holding a long wooden box in his hand, judging from the appearance, it should be a flintlock pistol inside. It's just that the box is covered, and I don't know what it looks like, and what is the power of the improved model that the emperor said?
As for Emperor Chongzhen, he naturally knew what Bi Maokang brought. After he waited for Bi Maokang to finish the ceremony, he instructed Zu Dashou behind him and said: "Bring the arquebusiers selected by Qing over and compete with Mao Qing's flintlock pissingers!" β
If it's possible, Zu Dashou really doesn't want to do this, isn't this a foil for Mao Yuanyi! However, the emperor ordered, and he had no choice but to turn around and order a general behind him.
