Speaking of rifles, the Senate has not stopped producing rifles in the military factory, and according to the agreement of the princess before the Champa Rebellion, the Senate will continue to deliver 1,000 rifles to the new army of Champang, and complete a line infantry combat battalion and two light infantry combat companies for Champang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info[燃^文^書園].. The C-line infantry is the standard method of shooting the party in a line, where the soldiers shoot at the enemy in a distance in three or four columns. Because of the three- or even four-stage shots, in most cases, the soldiers, who were carrying 30 rounds each, were able to fire for about four to five minutes. The only flaw is that they still use black gunpowder as the propellant, and when it is fired, the smoke fills the battlefield, and if you don't wait for the smoke to clear, you will definitely lose the hit rate.

At present, although the chemical industry has carried out the production trial production of nitrocellulose in the case of serious shortage of manpower and material resources, the trial production of nitrocellulose is difficult to obtain even if it is used in the old time and space, not to mention the raw materials of different purities in this time and space, and the vast majority of nitrocellulose produced is unqualified. Occasionally, it is difficult to make smokeless gunpowder because of the different purities of the raw materials, but it is difficult to replicate them because of the different purities of the raw materials, so it is difficult to make smokeless gunpowder until the chemical department itself has not established a raw material production plant and formulated product testing standards.

Therefore, the new army had no choice but to adopt a more complicated firing method, that is, after the first row fired, it would move into the last row, and then the second row would also move to the last row after firing, and the whole line would shoot backwards and retreat in a cycle. In this way, the distance between the enemy and the soldier needs to be shortened, and in this way, it is like flying a kite to drag the enemy, whether the enemy is attacking or retreating, and the enemy must be constantly shot.

As for the light infantry, this is another idea, the light infantry does not wear bright red uniforms like the line infantry, they are mainly issued green uniforms, so that they can lurk in the woods, bushes, ambushes from the flanks and rear, you must know that the most taboo of the army attack is to be attacked on the flanks. Especially in the case of firearms, flank fire strikes can counteract the dispersion of forces on the front of the scattered line, making it easy to hit these unsuspecting targets that are gathered together from the side.

Although the light infantry were also equipped with Senate rifles, they did not have bayonets and were equipped with less items than the line infantry. They do not shoot in a line when fighting, but rely on cover, hide on the enemy's flank, and then take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to launch a surprise attack. After the attack, their task was to retreat quickly. Because they had neither bayonets nor much ammunition, they carried thirty percent less weight than the line infantry, and thus moved quickly and were easy to conceal. In the event of enemy pursuit, the enemy can be drawn into the firing range of the line infantry, luring them to expose their flanks. Once the enemy has focused on the line infantry, the light infantry will be able to continue striking the enemy from the flanks. Make sure to bite off a piece of meat from the enemy with every bite, so that the enemy knows what it means to hurt.

According to the scale of about 500 people in a battalion and about 100 people in a company, the remaining troops are mainly to maintain logistics, including escorting food, grass and ammunition, transporting the wounded to the rear, and other tasks. These logistics units are mainly equipped with senate rifles with shortened barrels, and the range of these rifles is only about 40 to 50 meters, but even these 40 or 50 meters are very lethal. There was also a company of 100 men, armed with short-barreled senate rifles and grenades. These were the grenadier companies of the Forces nouvelles, and they were much luckier than their counterparts in Europe throughout history. The grenadiers of that era required tall stature, because bombs filled with black powder were large and heavy, and they needed to throw such bombs into the enemy dozens of meters away, which was quite an easy combat mission. But the grenadiers of the Forces nouvelles had a strong advantage, and the bombs they used were not filled with black powder, but with picric acid.

Since 1771, the Englishman Wolf treated phenol with concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid to obtain a yellow solid, trinitrophenol, which was soon used as a yellow dye. But since then, no one has ever realized that it could be a powerful explosive, and for the next hundred years, everyone has only used it as a dye. It wasn't until exactly 1871, a full hundred years later, when a fellow struck a rusted iron barrel of picric acid with a hammer, that the first sound of picric acid as an explosive was struck. At this time, the other uses of picric acid were really discovered, and it was soon widely used in the military. The reason why the Japanese army defeated the Beiyang Naval Division in the Battle of Dadonggou was this picric acid explosive, in addition to the new fast warships and rapid-fire guns. The shells of the Qing army that hit the Japanese were mainly loaded with black gunpowder, and the explosion power was small, and more than 30 large shells of the three cruisers hit the small gunboat "Chicheng", and they were also driven back by the Chicheng, but the troops of the Beiyang Naval Division suffered heavy losses after being hit by the shells loaded with picric acid.

Picric acid also has the property that it can not only produce shock waves and fragments when black powder shells explode when exploding, but also ignite a fire of thousands of degrees in the center of the explosion, which can ignite steel. What's even more terrifying is that such flames will flow around like a liquid, even in water, and can continue to burn for a period of time. In addition, picric acid has an excellent advantage, that is, before it reacts with the metal to form picrate, it is very mild, and can even be heated to more than 200 degrees to become liquid for filling, which is much safer than black powder, even if it is passivated maroon gunpowder. It took a lot of effort from the military factory to fill the grenade with these picrics and keep the grenade safe, and finally it was sealed in a bamboo cylinder and then covered with a prefabricated fragmentation shell. A layer of paraffin wax is also brushed between the bamboo tube and picric acid, so that it is difficult for picric acid to corrode the metal and maintain the stability of ammunition.

Compared to the bombs used by the European grenadiers, which were larger and heavier than the shot put, the grenades of the Forces nouvelles were two-thirds lighter, and even recruits could throw grenades of this size at a distance of about 50 meters, and trained veterans could throw them up to about 80 meters. The grenadiers of the Forces nouvelles were required to throw grenades at the enemy from behind the line infantry formation when they approached within 70 meters, so as to ensure that the enemy would not get too close and too fast before the smoke cleared.

At present, although the military factories have been producing rifles and grenades, a very embarrassing problem has arisen, that is, the question of the ownership of the new army. Now the new army is divided into two parts, some of them are willing to defect to the Senate, and in the rebellion of Champanggang some time ago, they have followed the special investigation team to protect the rich and went to Beiqiaotou Town, and now they are camped in the south of Beiqiaotou Town near the river, and they go out for training every day; The other part of the new army was expanded after the defense of Champa Port, and their sense of identity and belonging to the new army was not strong, so that at first they preferred to stay in the barracks of Champa Port rather than leave.

In principle, it is said that the new army is the princess's personal arm, and it obeys the princess's orders. But now at this time, the princess is no longer the master of Champa Port, as the spokesperson of the six ministries, Nguyen Minh Fang is now full of hatred for the new army, naturally he will not be the commander of the new army, the princess herself went to Hue, the capital of South Annan, it is impossible to come back in the short term, the new army is now a group of dragons without a leader, and now it is just relying on the old officers to carry self-discipline here. The Senate felt that this other people's army was as tricky as a hot potato, if they were to be incorporated into the army, it would definitely be someone else's army, what if one day the princess returned, and their loyalty heart broke out and ran back to the princess again? It's not even a deserter. In addition, it is extremely inappropriate to integrate them into the army and let this other people's army learn too advanced combat theories, and it is not a good thing for countries to know themselves too well because there are only eternal interests between countries and no eternal friendship. To put it mildly, if one day there is a sudden need to fight with the port of Champa or Annam, it is not a good choice to have such an enemy army that is familiar with him, and is still stationed by his side.

However, at the moment, the Senate does not have to worry about this issue so much, there is still an undercurrent in Hue City, and the status of the princess has not only not been restored because the truth has been revealed, but it has become more insecure because the scars of the six parts have been revealed. Now there are rumors in Hue City that the princess is promiscuous, and some people are spreading the news that the princess raised a group of male pets during the Champa port, and even the people in Dongfang Port were raised by her I don't know how much, otherwise why would people help Champa Port so much?

Even though the princess was obscure and hid in the deep palace compound every day, such rumors still entered the palace by relying on the eunuchs and maids in the palace. The princess was so angry that she trembled, she built such a city from scratch in more than ten years in Champa Port, and kept Champa Port in good order, she was busy with government affairs every day, and she didn't have the heart to think about this kind of male and female matter. Not to mention that in this time and space, although women are full of curiosity about this knowledge, they have no way of knowing it, and they dare not ask people, and only after marrying do they know how to become a woman. The male pet is purely rumor-mongering and slander, in order to destroy the princess's reputation. You must know that if the princess has a bad reputation, the emperor must marry the princess off quickly, so that the princess will definitely lose her influence on the emperor, and this trick is simply the same as saving the country with a curve.

Ruan Fuyuan naturally knew that his daughter would not do such a thing, but the rumors in front of him were intensifying, and some good people even took the initiative to process the matter of how the princess raised male pets, as if they had seen it with their own eyes. He also sent someone to check the source of this rumor, in fact, he didn't need to check it He knew that this must be the sixth department making trouble, otherwise, how could the time be so clever, the princess just entered the palace, and the rumors came out immediately? But because there is no evidence, there is no way to deal with these important ministers who are in charge of power.

He now had a letter in front of him, from the port of Champa, which did not mention the slightest tribute to Hue, but instead asked the emperor for a batch of aid, the need to dredge the waterways, and to compensate the Medeno for the war losses. How did Nguyen Phuc Nguyen not know the truth about the battle of Champa Port? The barbarians were routed under the city, and the Medeno only lost some merchant ships and sank them in the harbor. As for the losses of the Medeno navy, it was caused by their own attack on the port of Vostok, I heard that two ships were captured and four were sunk, what does it mean that this loss does not go to the port of the east, but what does it mean to come to Annam? Isn't it just picking soft persimmons and pinching?

Fishermen have reported that a number of Medeno Navy warships have recently been seen cruising nearby, and some have even directly rammed and sunk the boats of the fishermen in Annam. Based on the gradual decrease in the number of trade trips between Medeno merchant ships and the port of Wenshan, where the port facilities are still intact, during this period, it seems that the Medeno people may be attacking Annan in the near future. This Medeno fleet may have come to intimidate Annan, or it may have been directly preparing to attack Annan. The Wenshan Port Naval Division did not dare to leave the port at this time, and did not even carry out patrols. Seeing this, Ruan Phuc Yuan couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, he knew about the situation of the sailors, because the sea power of the Maidno people was too strong, they directly did not allow Annam and Wu Dynasty, countries with coastlines and seaports, to establish large naval armies, so as not to cause harm to them. The Medeno even infiltrated the territory of Annam and the Wu Dynasty under the guise of missionary work, using some outdated techniques to curry favor with local officials, so as to obtain information and spread intelligence. Today's Annan or Wu Dynasty is purely a big sieve, and even the concubine of the Admiral of Wenshan Port has to get up several times a night in the intelligence of the Maidno people.

Under such influence, the sailors of Wenshan Port only had more than a dozen sampans, and the largest was only three or four Fuchuan Guang boats, which did not have a single artillery gun on them, and they could only use arson boats to open the way when they fought, and the sampans were only covered in the back. Such a tactic was no different from sending to death in the face of thirty or forty cannons of the Medenor warships, and hundreds of years ago the Medeno had defeated even the fleet of Zheng He of the Wu Dynasty. You must know that the history books at that time recorded the grand occasion when Zheng He's fleet came to Annam, with more than 200 ships and tens of thousands of people. However, they fought with the Medeno people at sea for several days and nights, and when they finally fled back to Annam, there were only more than ten ships left, and they were also attacked by the Medeno navy when they were resupplying, and finally only five or six large ships forcibly broke through and fled in the direction of Wuchao. The strength of the navy of the Maidno people can be imagined, and now he has to sigh again, it is inevitably a little more difficult for the Wenshan Port Sailor to dispatch, after all, this is really no different from hitting a stone with an egg.
