Chapter 299: Xinjing Camp I
The next day, Chongzhen took several cabinet ministers to Jingying, looking at the familiar road outside, Chongzhen smiled and said: "This time flies really fast, the last time I came was three years ago, and now this state affairs are busy, I don't have time to visit these soldiers who visit me!" It really shouldn't be! โ
"Your Majesty is working for the country all the time, this is the blessing of all the people in the world! Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body! Cao Huachun said with a smile on the side, and several other ministers also nodded in agreement. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
Sun Chengzong said at this time: "Now, this Beijing camp is no longer the Beijing camp of three years ago!" I believe that Your Majesty will be impressed with them! โ
"Oh?!" Chongzhen sighed, and then said with interest: "I remember the first time I came to Jingying, the lazy, to be honest, I wanted to order someone to pull them all out and cut them down!" How can such an army protect my Daming country! After that, Governor Lu rectified this, and then won one battle after another, but gave me a satisfactory answer! โ
Chongzhen gradually came to the periphery of the Beijing camp with curiosity, and as soon as he arrived at the periphery, he was attracted by the loud military song, "The wolf smoke rises, the north of the country looks at the dragon and rolls, the horse neighses, the sword is like frost, the heart is like the Yellow River, twenty years of vertical and horizontal, who can fight, hate, long knife, how many siblings are loyal to the soul of the country, why not die to serve the countryใใใใใใ Thinking about the scene where tens of thousands of soldiers sang at the same time, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little enthusiastic when he listened to it.
"Your Majesty! Nowadays, the military song is sung every day before training! Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Excellent! Keep it up! Chongzhen gave important instructions on this, and then said with a smile: "The dignified Ming wants to let the Quartet come to congratulate!" I, Aiqing, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty all need to work hard! โ
Everyone couldn't help but nod after hearing this, and then Chongzhen and his party came to the gate of the Beijing camp, and the soldiers standing guard saw that the emperor was coming, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! โ
"Let's all be exempt!" Chongzhen nodded with a smile, and then said with a smile: "The soldiers have worked hard!" โ
Hearing the emperor's condolences, the soldiers were very excited, and the leading soldiers said: "Your Majesty, I will report if you are humble!" โ
"Not necessarily!" Chongzhen stopped the soldier who was about to report, and said with a smile: "It's good for me to go in by myself!" Stand yell! โ
"Obedience!" The soldier bowed.
Then Chongzhen beckoned everyone: "Okay! Love, Ladies and Gentlemen! Let's go! Then Chongzhen and his entourage entered the Beijing camp one after another, and when they entered, the morning meeting had already ended, and the soldiers began to train according to their own arrangements. Boom! Boom! The training began with the sound of drums, "Ha! "Hah!" "Hah!" The neat shouts were endless, and the voices of the guards who saluted Emperor Chongzhen were muffled, "Very good! I want to go up and fight for a while! Chongzhen said happily, usually Chongzhen is also in the palace to do boxing exercises when he is free to retreat from the dynasty, and he can't help but want to participate in the training of the soldiers.
"This punch seems to be a combination of offense and defense, and it is full of murderous spirit!" Chongzhen commented, because he usually practiced by himself, watching the soldiers train, he saw some ways.
"Your Majesty has good eyesight!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Why haven't I seen them practice this before? Didn't use such a good punch before? Chongzhen asked curiously.
"Your Majesty! This boxing method is a new set of boxing methods that Governor Lu changed according to his own boxing methods, combined with the boxing techniques of some masters in Zhongxingwei and their application on the battlefield! Sun Chengzong said.
"Good! I will let Governor Lu teach me another day! Chongzhen smiled, and then said, "Let's go from behind, don't affect the training of the soldiers!" โ
Everyone smiled and nodded, and then went around the training ground and went to the back, in order not to affect the training of the soldiers along the way, Cao Huachun obeyed Chongzhen's will and did not let the soldiers on guard go to report, so the soldiers of the entire Beijing camp were still training hard according to their daily life.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" Listening to the orderly gunshots, Chongzhen smiled and said, "This is a shooting range, right?" โ
Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "It should be a recruit training at this time here!" โ
"Oh?!" Chongzhen was a little puzzled.
"Those experienced soldiers are practicing on the other side at this time! We'll take Your Majesty over in a while! Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
Chongzhen nodded, looked at the shooting range, after this look, he did find that many soldiers were a little jerky in operation, while the instructor on the side was serious and patiently instructed, Chongzhen smiled and said: "These soldiers look good, they look like good seedlings!" โ
"Your Majesty! Now the soldiers in this Beijing battalion are basically recruited by Governor Lu from the disaster area, as well as the northwest, and Liaodong, and they are all ordinary people, willing to suffer losses, and willing to work hard! The performance on the battlefield is also very good, bloody, obey military orders! As long as you train properly, you are definitely an iron-blooded lion! Sun Chengzong said with a smile, and from the smile in his eyes, he could also see how satisfied he was with these soldiers.
"Oh?! Very good! Chongzhen nodded all over the place.
"Your Majesty! This way! Bypass this shooting range, and there is a war simulation field in front of you! Sun Chengzong pointed to a place.
"Is there a place like this in Jingying?" Chongzhen was very curious.
"This is also what Governor Lu proposed to change! There is no real battlefield, we can simulate training, so it is good for soldiers to feel the breath of the battlefield! lest you really go to the battlefield and mess up! Sun Chengzong said with a smile.
"Good! Take me to see it! At this time, Chongzhen was also attracted by the shouts and rumbling artillery from that direction, and soon, under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, everyone went to the war simulation field, under the careful protection of a column of guards, Chongzhen and others came to a high platform, and suddenly, some magnificent scenes below came into the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.
I saw that there were two phalanxes below at this time, and each of the two phalanxes had a row of artillery, and they were violently bombarding each other at this time, "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" The roar of the artillery was endless, but the miraculous thing was that there was no big explosion, just a small explosion everywhere with a little smoke, looking at Chongzhen, who was a little puzzled, at this time Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty! That's a cannonball that's specially made for drills! The main reason is to let the war horse get used to the artillery, and not to rush back when they hear the sound of cannons, causing their own formation to collapse! โ
"I see!" Chongzhen nodded.
"Kill!" At the same time as the artillery roared, the cavalry in the other formation began to charge, like a sharp sword whistling towards the other side, looking at their clothing, Chongzhen couldn't help frowning and said: "Tartar?!" โ
Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "This is the armor of the Tartar that we captured before, and now it comes in handy, my soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are very unwilling to wear this, but it is stipulated that the soldiers who lose in the usual training will wear the armor of the Tartar in the simulation for simulation, which is also a helpless thing, so they will work harder in the exercise, because they will have to wear it next time if they don't perform well!" โ
"That's fine!" Chongzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then Chongzhen looked at another formation, and couldn't help frowning again, at this time the arrangement of the other formation was a little different, the middle phalanx was an infantry phalanx, rows of soldiers were neatly arranged, holding a new type of flintlock pistol in their hands, and their eyes looked coldly at the direction of the opposite cavalry.
"Bayonet?!" Chongzhen let out a soft sigh.
"Yes! Your Majesty! This is an improvement proposed by the soldiers after fighting with the Tatar cavalry in the Liaodong battlefield many times, before it was a separate sabre, and then the soldiers found it inconvenient and felt that it was better to install it directly on the gun! Another bonus is that it can also be used as a spear when the enemy hits! In this way, the Tartar's horse will be stabbed to death and attack the Tartar soldiers above! Xu Guangqi said with a smile.
"Excellent! This is long overdue! Is there a reward for those soldiers? Chongzhen asked.
"Your Majesty, rest assured! It has already been rewarded! Xu Guangqi nodded.
Chongzhen nodded, and then continued to observe, on the two wings of this infantry phalanx were two cavalry phalanxes, columns of cavalry were neatly arranged, and they each had a musket in their hands, which was also a little different from the flintlock pistol of the infantry, at this time Xu Guangqi continued: "Your Majesty! It's a riding gun! It is the same as the flintlock pistol of the infantry, but the appearance has been slightly improved, which is more conducive to the carrying of cavalry! Then Xu Guangqi noticed that Chongzhen's eyes fell on the saber on the waist of the cavalry, and continued: "This is our improved cavalry sabre, the previous knife soldiers reflected that it was too heavy, which was not conducive to cooperating with the formation to kill the enemy, so this was improved, and now their sabers are unified sabers, the bayonet has a wide back and a thin blade, and the blade is relatively heavy, which is conducive to increasing the strength of the chopping, and we have also used high-quality steel for forging to ensure that there will be no broken blades on the battlefield. At the same time, we made the handle slightly bent in the direction of the blade, so that the curved handle is easier for the rider to control, and it is not easy to get rid of it! โ
"Aiqing is attentive!" Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the most critical question: "Why don't they wear armor?!" โ
