Chapter 67: Song Yingxing, who is not powerful

Since Qin Botong received the training of military officers, he has been different from the old man's style, and half of the maids in the house have been dismissed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And he gets up and runs every morning, and even bathes with cold water from his own well once a day, which makes his concubine very puzzled, how can his master not go home for just a month is like a different person.

He likes to gamble, and even gave away the agate dice that he had treasured for many years.

Like him, Chang Yanling is the son of Houmen, and he is also a person who stretches out his hand to eat and open his mouth.

But now he insisted on dressing himself, eating much faster than before, and once he had passed half an hour, he would definitely put down his chopsticks.

Fu Dahai simply used Zhu Youxiao's training of Lu Xiangsheng to his younger brothers, and took them to fight every day, asking them to win glory for Daming one day.

"Very good", Zhu Youxiao looked at the follow-up investigation of these thirty officers and students from Dongchang, and couldn't help affirming it, and immediately ordered someone to summon Lu Xiangsheng.

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng arrived, Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked him how he was preparing for the training of the Praetorian Guards, and according to the plan, the Praetorian Guards would train more than 10,000 people this time, and they would be temporarily organized into seven integrated battalions, each with about 1,500 people.

Because it was necessary to carry out overall platoon training and physical training first, each battalion was temporarily organized into a training battalion, and there was no distinction between which battalion was an infantry battalion and which battalion was a cavalry battalion.

Seven people, including Chang Yanling, Fu Dahai, Ao Bai, Qin Botong, and Lu Jiayu, respectively served as commanders of the seven integrated battalions.

The other 21 people served as commanders of the battalions, and like the commanders, they were all instructors for the training.

Lu Xiangsheng continued to serve as the chief instructor.

Liu Ruyu continues to be responsible for living and material management.

Xu Guangqi was appointed as the head of ordnance and equipment.

Tang Ruowang was Xu Guangqi's assistant before he was in charge of artillery training.

For the other two officers, because Tang Fusheng was stubborn and upright and extremely disciplined, he was awarded by Zhu Youxiao as the commander of the Jinyi Guard (false position) as the law enforcement officer of the Praetorian Guard.

And because Liu Bin used to be a prisoner, he had a good memory and some talent, so he was appointed as Lu Xiangsheng's adjutant to assist Lu Xiangsheng, but at the same time, he could also report directly to Zhu Youxiao.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the 10,000,434 Praetorian Guard soldiers, except for the 7th Battalion, which is 1,434, have been distributed according to about 1,500 per battalion.

Lu Xiangsheng said that he handed the two-inch booklet to Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the appointment quota on the booklet, and asked Liu Ruyu, who was also staying on the side:

"The uniforms and shoes of more than 10,000 officers and men have been prepared, in addition, whether the dormitory has been built, whether the ancillary living facilities of the dormitory such as the thatched pit have been dug, whether the drainage system has been arranged, where the officers and soldiers will wash and eat at that time, whether the daily food of the soldiers has been prepared, and how many doctors on duty in the garrison camp ......"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the military uniforms and shoes are jointly responsible for the Underwear Supervision and Needlework Bureau and the officials of the Ministry of Industry, and according to what Your Majesty said it is necessary to learn to introduce a competition mechanism, so they were handed over to the eight textile workshops in the capital to undertake, and the tasks have been completed;

The 2,000 houses on the original site of the Jingying campus have also been built, a total of 100 buildings, and the arrangement has been completed according to the number of people in each room.

Small thatched huts have been built between each building, and the washing place has also been built, and the water is drawn from the Hanji ditch not far away, and then discharged into the moat of the capital.

In addition, fifteen Xinglin masters have been recruited from the court and the people, and most of them are good at surgery or excellent medical skills, according to the arrangement, three doctors are on duty every day, and the rotation is once every five days. “

Liu Ruyu said and gave the drawings to Zhu Youxiao.

"Add two more washing places in the dining hall and the latrine, and according to the hygiene regulations, it is good to wash hands before eating, and set up two washstands in these two places to remind these officers and soldiers.

In addition, set up a few more basketball courts, as for what basketball is, I will tell you when I have time, you can build the field and equipment for me first, the principle is very simple."

Zhu Youxiao picked up the pen and drew on the booklet: "Similar to this wooden stake, with an iron ring on it, understand?" “

"Understood."

Liu Ruyu hurriedly received Zhu Youxiao's instructions to re-improve it overnight.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao asked Xu Guangqi again: "How much has the Apocalypse flintlock pistol been manufactured now, and what is the progress of the development of the bayonet stuck on it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, we have now urgently trained five hundred craftsmen who have been transferred back from Jinling and Border Towns, and under overtime, two thousand have now been completed, in addition, the bayonet that Your Majesty said, this thing needs good steel, and the flintlock pistol is also not hard and flexible enough, and there is still no big knife to fight for, so Wei Chen dared to suggest that before the Royal Academy of Engineering developed good steel and improved the material of the flintlock barrel, it was better to let the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard be equipped with both flintlock pistols and broadswords, and at the same time, flintlock pistols were insufficient, It is also possible to use spears instead of assassination training first. ”

Xu Guangqi bowed down and saluted Zhu Youxiao as he spoke.

The big knife is still useful even in the Anti-Japanese War era, no matter what, seeing Xu Guangqi's face full of sadness, Zhu Youxiao also knew that he might be in a hurry, so he said: "How many big blades and spears have been made?" ”

"The Ordnance Department and the War Bureau are all stepping up to catch up, and 10,000 have been completed so far."

"It's too slow, double the salary of the craftsmen, let them make it for me overnight, and in addition, the two thousand flintlock pistols that have been made will be tested immediately, and immediately distributed to a part of the officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, who are not familiar with the new guns, how to fight when the time comes."

As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he asked Tang Ruo again: "How has the artillery improved?" ”

"Your Majesty, like the flintlock pistol, the current steel cannot meet the requirements of large-scale cannon making, and the good steel made by a few skilled craftsmen alone is too slow, the material is not good, and it is easy to explode and deform if there is more gunpowder."

Tang Ruowang lowered his head as he spoke, afraid that Zhu Youxiao would be angry.

"Send a message to Song Yingxing, now the guns and artillery are waiting for him, first put aside the matter of making glass and soap, the technology of steel smelting must be improved immediately, in addition, ask me if the flowering bomb has been developed, I will not give him 100,000 taels of silver."

Zhu Youxiao got up and looked at the important ministers in front of him as he spoke:

"Whether it is limited in the development of firearms, or limited in the improvement of artillery, these can't stop the Praetorian Guard training in three days, Xu Shilang is right, you can replace it with other cold weapons first, but you can't relax at all, don't wait until next year to break through, then you don't want to take money from me next year."
