"Stand upright!" After nearly two months of training, the soldiers in the port of Champa finally experienced a painful period of indistinguishable left and right, and could not count one, two, three, four, at this time, they were able to quickly follow Qian Longzhou's instructions to practice. Standing on the playground and watching the non-commissioned officers shouting slogans to the soldiers, he couldn't help but recall how he was so angry with these non-commissioned officers on the training ground more than a month ago, and then how these non-commissioned officers distributed the sticks they received to each soldier equally in the past half a month.

According to Qian Longzhou's establishment plan, the soldiers of Zhanchenggang had a squad of ten people, a platoon for three squads, and a company for three platoons. A company formed a three-row phalanx, and when firing, it was arranged in three rows and fired alternately. Each platoon has a drummer and a standard-bearer, so that a company has 105 people, plus the company commander is 106 people. On this basis, the army of Champa Harbor formed a total of three companies with a total of 315 combat troops. In addition, a baggage company was formed, with about 200 baggage soldiers, who were responsible for carrying ammunition and camp facilities, and carrying out engineering construction such as trench excavation before camping and fighting.

At this time, there were three rows of more than 300 people standing on the playground, and they were doing shooting action training, because the "militaristic weapon of the Senate" brown bass fire cap rifle had not yet been delivered, according to Qian Longzhou's request, the workshop in Zhancheng Port rushed to produce a batch of wooden guns for them, this kind of wooden gun shape and brown bass rifle is basically the same, in order to increase the weight, the body of the gun is weighted with lead, and it is even about 200 grams heavier than the real gun itself. Using these weighted wooden guns to train soldiers to hold their guns and aim increases their familiarity with the rifles and their accuracy when firing. You must know that the range of the brown bass is only fifty meters, and even after being improved by the design department of the Senate, it is only an effective range of about seventy meters, and if there is no hit rate, it is too much.

Thinking of this, Qian Longzhou couldn't help but shake his head, carefully staring at the movement of the soldiers on this line raising their guns, and he walked triumphantly in front of the team with the sample brown bass sent over in his hand, correcting the soldiers' wrong movements from time to time. As the drumbeat of the firing command sounded, the soldiers lowered their rifles, poured the propellant with the barrel facing upwards, and then compacted the same non-existent propellant with a non-existent strip, then put in a non-existent projectile, and then placed the non-existent fire cap on the fire door...... Not to mention that these soldiers don't know what they are doing, even Qian Longzhou himself is not proficient in these movements, and can only do a complete operation process in front of these hundreds of soldiers again and again.

"It's really hard to train before the real guns are distributed." He couldn't help but talk to himself, completely forgetting that he used bamboo poles to train when he was at the Guangdong base. He looked down at the brown bass in his hand, which was 1.4 meters long and had a 30-centimeter-long spear stuck in it, which he had heard was interchangeable with a 1628-style lever rifle. Now the Senate system is focused on industrial standardization, and there are even three parts in this brown bass rifle that can be directly used with the 1628 rifle, the trigger stab and the throughbar. The wooden butt was coated with a light varnish to prevent decay. Under the hammer on the side of the barrel, there is a clear sign of a lion that looks like a Peugeot logo holding a rifle, and below it is a row of small letters "Senate rifle" and "1628". This lion has been complained about by several veterans who have accepted the inspection, and this pose does not look like a lion at all, but looks more like a monkey who has been played, and they directly call this rifle a monkey version of the rifle in private. At this time, the Vietnamese are not tall and not strong, but the height of one meter five does not have a unified military uniform, the head is wrapped in a turban and some wear a hat, one by one holding a rifle of one meter four, it looks like a group of people are very funny, at this time Qian Longzhou stood in front of this group of soldiers wearing a variety of clothes, feeling like the leader of the peasant rebel army in the villain book he saw in the old time and space when he was a child, and there was a group of ordinary people in tattered clothes standing behind him...... He shook his head and shook the ridiculous thought out, spun around in front of the array again, raised his hand again and gave the order, "Fire!" ”

"The princess has arrived!" The shouts of the sentinels could be heard outside the playground walls.

Previously, Qian Longzhou complained to Princess Ji about the problem of the army's uniform. At this time, not to mention Champa and Vietnam, even the army of the Ming Dynasty was just a mandarin duck jacket, and at this time, no matter which country had the concept of unified military uniforms. Hearing Qian Longzhou's suggestion, the princess was also moved, and a woman's beauty-loving nature immediately burst out, and she asked the designer in her house to design several sets of military uniforms that night, and brought them to Qian Longzhou today. As a result, Qian Longzhou almost didn't take his back when he saw the design drawing, and in the end it was still a robe and coat, no hat, and thick-soled cloth boots.

"Isn't that pretty?" Qian Longzhou pointed to the charcoal-drawn clothing patterns on the paper produced by the industrial system of the Senate. "What color are you going to use?"

"Naturally, it's dyed blue with indigo." The princess's eyes were full of curiosity, and she looked at the "army chief instructor" who had just shaved his head again.

"The robe is not good, maybe you think it looks good, but it is not suitable for combat." He said and pointed to the training uniform on his body, "The clothes must be two pieces of upper and lower clothes, what is the top called?" He thought about it for a moment, "The cardigan gown, the problem of buttoning is easy to solve, and you can tie it with a rope." Pants must be a little tighter. ”

He pointed to the monkey version of the rifle in his hand and said: "The Senate rifle uses a hammer to fire, if there are too many things on the body, there are too many decorations or stripes on the clothes, it is possible that when the rifle is lifted, it will be hung by the clothes and cause accidental fire." This rifle can only be loaded once and a half per minute, and if it is fired accidentally, it will not only delay the fighter, but may even cause unnecessary casualties to one's own people. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the phone again, and the princess was now accustomed to the phone he often pulled out, and she called it the "magic mirror". He skillfully opened the picture and showed it to the princess. The princess couldn't help but be stunned when she saw it, there were dozens of red-clothed musketeers in this picture, the people in the front row were on the ground with guns, the muzzles of the guns were stretched out diagonally, and the musketeers in the back row were shooting outward with flat-ended rifles. These infantrymen wore red shirts on their upper bodies, a certain tall barrel hat on their heads, a delicate cockade in the center of the hat, two white straps on their bodies, a fork on their chests, and a pair of gray pants on their lower bodies. Judging from the pictures, these pants should be relatively comfortable to wear, and standing and kneeling down will not affect the movement.

"These are your ** teams?" The princess looked at Qian Longzhou's green training uniform with some suspicion.

"No, of course not." This was the uniform worn by British infantry in the 19th century, and he had long admired this uniform, but from the outset, members of the Senate military team opposed the training of soldiers by lining up to shoot the party, and they were even more adamant about this kind of line-up shooting party uniform. He could only do that with this group of black, short, thin Vietnamese soldiers. "This is the attire of the early British infantry, and it is a perfect fit for our current tactics."

"But I, Annan, don't have a clothier who can make clothes for these hundreds of soldiers at once...... And boots. The princess said with some embarrassment.

"That's not a problem." Qian Longzhou is waiting for this sentence, with the princess's words, he can bring a batch of new orders to the garment factory. Some time ago, Gu Qingqian also issued instructions to him to carry out commercial activities, asking him to find sales channels for cloth and ready-to-wear clothing. If this can be made for so many soldiers at one time, it must be a large order, and there will be a change of clothes once every few years in the future, and the army will open up sales channels will inevitably be popular among the people to buy ready-to-wear directly, and at that time, this kind of garment of the senate industrial system will definitely be welcomed.

"This ......" The princess hesitated for a moment, although she did not buy any of the Senate's arms this time, but she exempted the Senate from transaction tax for nearly three years, judging from the transaction volume of goods shipped by trade ships in Dongfang Port in the past two months, this group of people must have made a lot of money, and she began to regret a little that the three-year tax exemption was not too long. There are at least 600 sets of uniforms for this unit, and how much will 600 sets cost? I don't have too much money in my own treasury. "It's not impossible to hand it over to your country for production, but the problem is that the price is ......."

"The price is secondary...... Qian Longzhou immediately began to show the kung fu of his tongue. The military uniform is good-looking, and the enemy can find it if it is conspicuous. In the future, when these barbarians talked about the soldiers of Annam, they would think of the group of brightly dressed soldiers, and they would flee as soon as they saw them. ”

The princess laughed, she was not a three-year-old, so she knew that the guy in front of her was looking for an opportunity to sell their ready-to-wear. However, as a woman, she is not particularly familiar with such things as fighting, so she can only listen to them. Then Qian Longzhou called the Ministry of Commerce again to ask for advice on the price of military uniforms, and the Ministry of Commerce asked him to wait three days later for a quotation when the military uniform was made and sent over.

"Chief Instructor Qian." The princess smiled happily at him, "I have only heard that your country's firearms are sharp, and last time I only looked at the appearance of this Senate rifle, I wonder if I can shoot it once to show this princess?" ”

Qian Longzhou smiled and nodded in agreement. He called a non-commissioned officer on the side, "Nguyen Van Ngoo! Come here, shoot target number two here, get ready! ”

Ruan Van Ngoc was a non-commissioned officer wearing a blue short shirt and a hat on his head, and without saying a word, he ran up and took the Senate rifle in Qian Longzhou's hand. In turn, after checking the chamber and the fire door, and confirming that there were no bullets in it, he took the propellant package handed over by Qian Longzhou, tore it open and poured it into the barrel, and then compacted it with a strip, then took the lead projectile in Qian Longzhou's hand, put it in from the muzzle, and then pressed it to the end with the strip again, and then installed a fire cap on the fire door, and then raised the muzzle of the gun up and shouted: "Mr. Chief Instructor, the shooting is ready, please instruct!" ”
