Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel his spirit, and immediately ordered: "All the new army is assembled, and I want to review the army!" ”

"Yes!" Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua responded loudly at the same time, their faces were full of confidence, and they took a few steps back before turning around and getting on their horses.

Watching them leave, the military array that was training in the distance began to assemble, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and turned his head to Rong Zu Dashou, the head of the Beijing camp: "Zu Qing also take a good look for me, and bring up any deficiencies!" ”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but show a bitter smile of envy on his face. This new army, not to mention the treatment, just in terms of literacy, I have never seen such a high literacy rate in the new army, and the grassroots officers above the captain level are all trained from the junior military hall of the Beijing Division. Although the time is short, their knowledge of battle formations and their ability to adapt to unexpected situations on the battlefield are far from being comparable to those of other armies.

In addition, the number of overseers in this new army is not comparable to that of other armies. The most important thing is that these overseers are not like the overseers in other armies, they have to be provided like a big man, and if they don't make trouble, thank God. From the perspective of Zu Dashou, a bystander, these prison guards can see that they are the glue of the new army and the guarantee for the morale of the new army to remain high.

Such a new army, how to let himself, the person who led the ordinary army of the Ming Dynasty, find faults, if you insist on finding faults, that is, this new army still needs to prove itself with a big victory!

Thinking so, Zu Da Shou looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face and looked at the young emperor, and was very surprised in his heart. To tell the truth, he couldn't figure out where the emperor's experience came from to train such a different army!

Since last year, the emperor has really been reborn, and he is no longer the immature child who can be fooled before! The emperor promised to pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, maybe it can really appear in the hands of the emperor and there will be a miracle!

When Zu Dashou was thinking about it, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming quickly, and when he came back to his senses, it was Cao Bianjiao and other generals of the new army who came over, obviously to ask the emperor to review, so he restrained his mind and paid attention to accompanying the emperor.

Sure enough, when Cao Bianjiao came closer, he loudly announced that the new army had been assembled and asked the emperor to review it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded immediately, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and drove the war horse forward slowly. Zu Dashou immediately followed, and behind him, Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua were them.

The officers and men of the new army gathered on the school field, standing straight one by one, holding their heads high, and their spirits were magnificent, which made the first impression of Emperor Chongzhen when he saw it, and he remembered a sentence from later generations: majestic, high-spirited!

"Salute to Your Majesty!" Seeing the emperor approaching on horseback, the soldiers of the nearby New Army raised their hands in salute amid the shouts of their leaders, and their movements were neat and unanimous, without dragging mud and water in the slightest.

These new army officers and soldiers, who were also wearing iron armor and holding weapons during training, stood there like that, which belonged to the unique heroic spirit of the soldiers, which made those who watched feel that their hearts were full of pride and enthusiasm. Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied in his heart, and he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to return a salute.

A phalanx, then a phalanx, walked over, and soon came to the side of the cavalry phalanx. The horsemen were all in front of the horses, and with the reins in their hands, they controlled the horses and stood motionless with them. It's just that there are war horses that will snort from time to time.

Emperor Chongzhen could see that these horsemen were very familiar with horse nature, and they had a very tacit understanding with the war horses, which was very good. When he walked to the side of the heavy cavalry, he stood for a while, looking at the cavalry here who was obviously tall and long-armed, powerful and powerful, and the war horses were all selected high-headed horses, which would be the vanguard of the enemy, the sharpest spearhead of the Ming army!

After passing through the heavy cavalry formation, it was the artillery battalion of the new army. Looking at the Franc cannon mounted on the gun carriage, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately stopped for a while. These cannons, mostly Furlong machine guns, are divided into a mother cannon and several sub-cannons. After entering the battlefield, the sub-cannon is reloaded in advance, and the purpose of firing the cannon at the fastest speed can be achieved when the battle is about to be completed.

There are many models of Furlong cannons, which are suitable for firing at different distances. In the past, there was a sealing problem with the Furlong machine gun, and when the cannon was fired, the air tightness was poor, which not only easily injured the gunner, but also the cannon could not shoot far. However, under the attention of Emperor Chongzhen, these artillery pieces no longer have this problem, and the artillery produced in the War Bureau are all manufactured in strict accordance with the specifications.

Emperor Chongzhen swept over these cannons, and he could see that these were still iron mold cast cannon products, and most of them were white-mouthed cannons. He pointed to the guns and asked, "How often do these guns change?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, after two rounds of artillery fire, you have to change!" Cao Bianjiao immediately drove two steps forward and said loudly, "And the quality of the artillery limits the speed of the soldiers' firing. ”

After many trainings, the officers and men of the artillery battalion have become very proficient in loading. The structure of the Franco's sub-cannon makes the reloading speed much faster than that of other guns. Therefore, the bottleneck of the firing speed is now in the quality of the artillery, and if the gun is fired too quickly, it may cause the barrel to burst. At this time, the disadvantages of iron mold casting cannons are reflected.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "The War Bureau is already dealing with it, and there will be gray artillery for you when you turn around." ”

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look forward to the moment when the cannon was fired on the battlefield. According to the teachings of the Kyoshi Junior Martial Arts Hall, this artillery can cover a large area in front of the formation by firing in a concentrated manner. As long as it is covered by artillery fire, even if it is live, the casualties will be considerable. When you get closer, if you use the Blossom Bullet, there will be almost no enemies left standing.

After Emperor Chongzhen inspected a circle, he finally boarded the platform. He walked directly to the front of the general's platform, glanced at the soldiers of the new army below, his face was serious, and he suddenly said loudly: "The Dongjiang army has won a big victory, and the Qin-Jin border army has also won a big victory, I am very pleased!" ”

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen noticed that many of the soldiers of the new army below showed a trace of unconvinced, and they were eager to open their mouths to speak. So, he raised his voice and asked in a loud voice, "You are the army I have set up with my own hands, and you are the army on which I have high hopes. I have left the strongest enemy of the Ming Dynasty to you, and I ask you, will you let me down? ”

For Emperor Chongzhen's questioning, the soldiers of the new army have long been accustomed to it. They immediately shouted in unison: "No! ”

The voice is loud and powerful, echoing over the school grounds!

"Good!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Soon, I will soon give you a chance to prove it." Use your best performance to show me, to everyone in the Ming Dynasty, and to the enemies of the Ming Dynasty! ”
