Chapter 120: Teaching Camp

Standing on the stage, seeing that everyone's pace was a little messy and the queue was not neat, Yang Lin asked Cao Zhang, Wang Shuji, Yang Bingyi and others to come up and take a look, readjust, and after regrouping, Yang Lin's face was full of iron, looked at everyone, and began to speak.

Yang Lin was the first to show very sadness, two years ago when he started training, it was also a brigade, many people were farmers, but after more than ten days of training, everyone lined up neatly, and acted in a decent manner, now everyone's worst is also the squad leader, and some are even the captain, managing more than 100 people, why don't you pay attention to the formation so much?

Yang Lin immediately called out the names of the team members and asked why they were doing queue training?

It was only at this time that everyone remembered what had been said in the past, that the queue is a reaction to the morale of an army and a sign of the unity of an army.

Then talk about the past history, in the past, everyone was a farmer, and some people were terrified when they heard that the local rioters were terrified, but in the past few years, they have won consecutive battles, mainly because everyone is united, mainly because of concerted efforts.

After that, the significance of the new costume was discussed, the new costume was mainly aimed at musketeers, and now the bird gun can easily shoot through cotton armor at about thirty paces, but this iron armor can prevent the bird gun from attacking at close range. And a true warrior has no defense on his back and arms on the battlefield.

Finally, Yang Lin introduced the training arrangement, which is based on Qi Jiguang's "Record of Military Training", including military heart education (political education), human structure education, ordnance education, tactical drills, terrain education, troop training, logistics weight training, riding artillery and other aspects of training.

Physical training is carried out every morning, ordnance and tactical training is carried out in the morning, training in other aspects is carried out in the afternoon, and training is summarized in the evening.

The duration of the training is three months, and upon completion of the training, all qualified trainees will receive a specially crafted sword of loyalty and righteousness with the student's name engraved on the hilt.

When everyone heard this, they applauded and cheered.

After that, Yang Lin explained the construction principle of the bird gun and the basic shooting essentials.

When explaining each weapon, Yang Lin asked everyone to take the model and actually operate it, and then summarize the shortcomings to see what improvements.

Let's talk about the principle of bird firing first, Yang Lin first started with firecrackers, first set off one or two firecrackers on the spot, and then talked about the reason.

Then talk about the fire door gun, that is, put gunpowder in the bamboo pipe, and then fire prevention.

Then there is the old-fashioned fire gun, made of copper, which, when lit, fires the iron pellet.

Finally, there is the bird gun, which overcomes the problems of the fire gun, and has some conveniences and some shortcomings in the launch process.

Especially when talking about the bird, Yang Lin intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that the launch speed was too slow, the problem of launching on rainy days and windy days, and when everyone heard about the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army could not launch the bird's gun because of heavy rain, which caused many problems.

For these deficiencies, Yang Lin asked everyone to put forward suggestions for improvement, and for some of the opinions that were more pertinent, he suggested that the other party should conduct experiments, and if they succeeded, they could be popularized throughout the army.

In the past, everyone thought that the bird was the bird, but they didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous development process.

In the following days, according to the schedule, Yang Lin explained the structure of the bird's gun, took out the bird's gun parts from the ordnance station, assembled it himself, and then asked everyone to assemble it, and finally released the gun.

Through experiments, it is proved that the factors related to the firing distance of the bird gun, such as the amount of gunpowder, the moisture of the gunpowder, the size of the projectile, the fit of the projectile with the barrel, the length of the barrel, and so on.

Every time he lectures, in addition to theoretical explanations, Yang Lin also verifies through a large number of experiments, allowing each student in each group to practice, which can benefit these big men a lot, and many of them even take models back to imitate.

This empirical teaching method once led the trend, and other instructors saw that the generals were still like this, and everyone copied them, and some even came to Yang Lin to discuss, and Yang Lin was also happy to discuss with everyone, and tried to let the other party think about the unreasonable places when they saw them, and find new ways to exemplify.

This is not all smooth sailing, for example, when assembling the bird gun, the 3rd Brigade Yang Xiongniu is like this, Yang Xiongniu was born as a local tyrant and returned to the Volunteer Army during the Battle of Pengzhou.

Since I didn't go to a private school in the past, although I had a lot of strength and fought bravely, it was quite troublesome to equip a bird gun.

Seeing that the rest of the team would pretend, and the bird gun they installed was not qualified no matter what, they couldn't take it to try, the air tightness was not good, and the flames that choked out burned others.

Everyone looked at it and laughed, and it happened to be seen by Yang Lin, and immediately explained the truth of grouping, which is to let everyone unite sincerely, help each other, and let everyone help.

The whole team was punished and ran around the mountain twice, so it took two pillars of incense kung fu, and everyone returned to the same place out of breath.

Everyone reviewed one by one, and then Yang Lin stood aside and asked everyone in the team to take Yang Xiongniu to assemble the fire gun and test it, and the effect was quite good.

The officer training camp was underway, but it was not at all calm on the outside.

News came from Hanzhong, saying that the Qing army had already occupied Shaanxi, and He Zhen, the Hanzhong guard general of the Dashun army, led Luo Dai, Dang Meng'an, and Guo Dengxian to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the land of Hanzhong, and was awarded the post of Hanzhong General Army by Azigeza, the prince of the barbarian Qing Dynasty.

It turned out that the barbarian Qing occupied the city of Beijing, the dove occupied the magpie's nest, and actually moved the barbarian Qing court from outside the gate to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, first divided the troops to attack Shandong, the north Zhili, and then attacked Henan and Shanxi.

At the end of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, in order to completely eliminate the remnants of the Dashun army, the regent of the barbarian Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, led Wu Sangui and Shang Kexi troops out of Datong with the British prince Azige, passed through the Mongolian steppe, approached the evasive Yulin and Baoan (that is, the current Yan'an), and the other way was led by the barbarian Yu prince Duoduo to lead Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and other troops to attack Tongguan from Huaiqing, Henan.

Liu Zongmin, the general of the Dashun army, was unfavorable in the battle and retreated to Tongguan, Li Zicheng was forced to lead the main force of the Dashun army to fight, but Duoduo carried thirty red-clothed cannons to attack the city, and the two sides fought for thirteen days, Tongguan was lost, and the Qing army approached Xi'an City.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zicheng disregarded the safety of Gao Yigong and Li Jinbu in northern Shaanxi, and hastily led his troops to withdraw from Xi'an City, pass through Lantian and Shangzhou, go to Wuguan, and retreat into Xiangyang.

After Li Zicheng fled, the barbarian regent Dolgon ordered Azig to lead his troops to pursue Li Zicheng, and Ling Duoduo led the main force down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to attack Nanjing.

Seeing the defeat of the Dashun army, according to the general of the Dashun army in Hanzhong, He Zhen led his troops to surrender to the barbarian Qing in three months, and the volunteers and Hanzhong were still separated by a local tyrant, a merchant selling tea, after finding out the news in Hanzhong, he returned to Shunqing Mansion to tell everyone about the news, and the local officials could not believe it, and actually arrested him in the name of spreading rumors.

Yang Lin, of course, knew the authenticity of this news, on the one hand, he lamented that the ancient news was blocked, and gossip was prevalent, so it was like the news of the capture of Shaanxi by the Barbarian Qing Dynasty that only reached his ears after a few months, and on the other hand, he pondered how to quickly spread the news and ensure the smooth flow of information. (This is not an exaggeration, Jin Shenghuan was stationed in Jiangxi, as the governor of Jiangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Longwu died in Jiangxi for half a year, but he didn't know the news, and Emperor Zhu Youlang of Yongli didn't know the conclusive news when he ascended the throne in Guangdong for more than half a year).
