While Chang Yanling and other instructors were teaching firearms operation, Sun Yuanhua, Westerner John Tang and their apprentices were also patiently explaining to these Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers the performance and operation mode of the new Daming cannon, as well as how to use the gun moment to adjust the shooting accuracy.

"The ancients once said that the Pythagorean is also related to this, with the flagpole in front as the target, then this line is the hook, which is the stock."

John Tang, who is known as the Confucian of Taixi, is also considered to be erudite, and at this time he is peddling his own set of trigonometric functions on the ground with a tree branch, which is also tireless.

Most of these officers and soldiers were from the Shenji Battalion before, even if they were not soldiers in Daming, they had all touched the old-style artillery, plus the training of night classes, so they could barely understand, not to mention that they were just listening, the important thing was to master how to operate Tang Ruowang, although the basic principles and aiming methods were the core technology, but that was the business of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

"Mr. Sun, can I give it a try?" Tomami was clearly more interested in the new artillery, and he couldn't wait to give it a try.

Sun Yuanhua had taught these Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers night lessons, so he was also called Mr. Sun, and when he saw Fu Dahai's eyes burning, he nodded.

Fu Dahai hurriedly walked over, and Tang Ruowang took the initiative to serve as Fu Dahai's deputy gunner.

The other officers and soldiers on the side couldn't help but whisper: "You say, can this thing work, it's not a secret, I used to work in the Shenji Battalion, and the position of the flagpole was too far, so the red-coated cannon on the city wall could hit it, and it is estimated that it can't be hit in one shot." ”

"This has to see if the method taught by the Westerners works, but I think it's just a cannon, and it's not so exquisite, I don't need him to teach, I will too!."

A team from the Shenji Battalion also answered, but at this moment, Fu Dahai had already adjusted the position under the guidance of Tang Ruowang, and then ignited the fire, and soon there was a loud bang.

The flagpole in front of it fell.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but open their mouths wide, judging from the effect of this explosion, it seemed that it was more powerful than the previous artillery, but what they didn't expect was that Tomami quickly fired a second shot.

"Grandma, no wonder Your Majesty said that the future war will be the world of artillery," a commanding officer from a military officer could not help but admire.

At this time, Tang Ruowang gave Fu Dahai a thumbs up, and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Old Sun, I strongly ask Your Majesty to let this general be in charge of the artillery battalion, because he has extraordinary talents. ”

……

"The first team of the third battalion has finished shooting, please instruct!"

A team of flintlock pistols with the Apocalypse flintlock pistol came over, and the gun was neatly placed on their shoulders, and they walked towards Qin Botong, the commander of the third battalion.

"Rest in place, the second team is in place!"

The second team and the first team, which had already been prepared, responded at the same time, and at this time, the soldiers in front had already reported the shooting results of the first team: "The first team, thirteen missed the target, twenty-nine below the eighth ring, and the rest are above the eighth ring!" ”

"Yo he!"

The first team, who had already rested on the spot, that is, sat cross-legged on the ground, could not help shouting, and according to the discipline of the army, they could cheer loudly during the break, especially this kind of thing that was applauded for collective honor.

Although according to the results of the previous training, it is considered a good result for a team to have most of the soldiers hit the eighth ring or above, but the second team was a little disapproving, and walked towards the shooting range after looking at the first team with some disdain.

"Remember, our goal is to have zero misses, and the number of below the eight rings is 20, and if we can't do it, we will run 20 laps together with the whole team tonight!"

"Yes!"

The second team has always been competitive, and Qin Botong didn't stop it, still with a cold face: "Second team, are you ready?" ”

"Report, ready!"

"Shoot!"

As soon as Qin Botong gave the order, he heard a neat sound of crackling, crackling like fried beans, and then saw a puff of white smoke spread along an arc.

"The second team of the third battalion has finished shooting, please instruct!"

"Rest in place, the third team is in place!"

"The second team, one misses the target, seventeen below the eight rings, and the rest are above the eight rings!"

"Team up, do you want to run laps tonight?"

"Run! Ge Laozi, who is off target! Stand up for Lao Tzu! ”

This team used to be a Shu soldier who followed Qin Liangyu, and was later left in Beijing by coincidence, but despite this, he still spoke a Sichuan accent.

The soldier who missed the target stood up with his head drooped: "Report, it's me!" “

……

In this way, the comprehensive firearms operation training began in full swing, and the entire Praetorian Guard camp used to be the sound of passwords from morning to five, but now all kinds of bombardment sounds, and sometimes even the ground trembled a few times.

It's a good thing it's far away from the residents, otherwise it would have scared people to death.

However, there are also imperial histories that say that this will shake the dragon vein, but Zhu Youxiao is not Cixi, and he will not be stupid enough to stop training because of any dragon vein, but the imperial history was also dismissed and dismissed because of alarmism.

However, the officers and men have not reduced their study of theoretical classes, and now they have to spare time to study in the afternoon, in addition to evenings.

There is no way to do this, because operating firearms and using them in combat involves a lot of specialized knowledge, and it is necessary to popularize these officers and soldiers, who do not know anything like the soldiers who are recruited from the common people.

At the very least, the number of people who can read, especially the officers, still accounts for a large part, and even the soldiers are not starting from scratch.

After the comprehensive firearms operation training was completed, Zhu Youxiao began to reorganize the Praetorian Guards in preparation for the next special training.

First of all, the artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion, because these two battalions have certain special requirements for soldiers, and soldiers who are talented in handling artillery and soldiers who are good at riding horses must be selected first.

The operation of the artillery is directly assessed and checked by John Tong, while the cavalry is directly selected by Aobai, who has a different way of selection than others, because he often patrols the battalions, and from time to time runs to pat or even touch other people's crotches.

Everyone wondered why he chose this way instead of asking if he could ride a horse first, but His Majesty and Lu Shilang supported him.

But being touched by a vulgar guy is really unpleasant, and you can't lose your temper yet.

Zhu Youzhen was touched by Aobai, and he was so frightened that he immediately turned around: "What are you doing!" ”

"This commander has taken a fancy to you, Private Zhu Youzhen, from today you will join the cavalry battalion of the Praetorian Guard, paperwork, write down his list and report it to Chang Yanluo, the commander of the first battalion!"

According to the above order, as long as it is a person who is selected by Aobai, no one can stop or refuse, so Chang Yan Luo and Zhu Youzhen have no choice but to admit it.

After selecting 1,000 cavalry and 1,500 artillery and corresponding auxiliaries to form a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion, the following is to conduct shooting training for the whole battalion.

However, the eliminated soldiers are not useless, and there are many soldiers who have specialties in other areas, such as first-class surveying and mapping without a few days of study, and some even have particularly accurate judgments about the climate and the location of groundwater.

Zhu Youxiao simply organized them into engineers, and soldiers who really had no special skills or talents could still stay in the baggage camp and be responsible for managing and protecting the materials of the whole army.
