Fortunately, Chang Yanxiao spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to get more than 10,000 catties of gunpowder, more than 10,000 catties of lead, and more than 10,000 catties of nitrate and sulfur from the arsenal of the military department.

The practice of the Ming Dynasty is like this, the total value of these materials is about 30,000 taels, these officials dare to ask for half of the filial piety, you can't help but give, otherwise you can't think of a pound of gunpowder, Yang Tingjian thought very openly, as the saying goes:

"Life is like a strong rape, if you can't resist, open your legs and enjoy it!!"

The military uniforms are all made by Yang Tingjian himself at his own expense in Tongzhou, and the military uniform workshop of Nanzhen Fusi is very special, there are only a dozen people in charge, there are no workers, and the military uniform workshop needs to process something, just post a notice directly.

Those big girls and little daughters-in-law in Tongzhou will go to the military uniform workshop to collect the materials, and then take them home to do, and hand them over to the military uniform workshop after they are done, and then settle the wages.

This method is mainly because the women are reluctant to work in the workshop, and the men in their families are not at ease, so the military uniform workshop follows the trend and makes such a processing method. In fact, in the south, there are hundreds or thousands of female workers in many weaving workshops, and the north has not kept up with the times.

When Yang Tingjian went to check the gunpowder, Shen Lian and the others were already organizing people to wrap paper-shell lead bullets, but Yang Tingjian found two problems, one is that this is not right, and the other is that this gunpowder is not granulated, and it is transported in layers.

The packaged paper shell bullets were directly used for training, while the unpackaged gunpowder Yang Tingjian needed to readjust the formula. The ratio of modern ** is nitrate:sulfur:charcoal = 75:15:10.

So how do you know how many of these ** are, this is very simple, directly weigh two catties of gunpowder, and then in a large basin of water, charcoal to float to the surface of the water, nitrate to dissolve in water, and sulfur will not dissolve, and sink to the bottom of the water.

These three substances are separated, and after drying, the weight of charcoal and sulfur can be directly weighed, which can directly calculate their proportions, and then add the required materials according to his original proportion, so that these ** meet the standards of modern **.

Yang Tingjian only took two days to correct these ** ratios, and at the same time, all the weapons and equipment were also distributed to the hands of the soldiers, which is the real musket shooting training.

The queue, formation and discipline have been trained, and if you just train the musket, you can go to the battlefield in ten days, and this is the biggest difference between the musketeer and the archer. Raising an archer requires years of training, and it can only take ten arrows in a row before losing strength.

In principle, the musket can hit until the barrel is red, and the tungsten seamless steel tube purchased by Yang Tingjian from modern times has absolutely no danger of exploding, and it is necessary to stop and cool down after firing hundreds of rounds in a row, so it can be said that the Shenwei musket has an incomparable advantage over the archers at this time.

After all the complicated things were dealt with, Yang Tingjian also participated in training every day like other soldiers, and when he got up in the morning, he was running, Yang Tingjian led the team to train, and unconsciously brought some funny training slogans to the army in later generations, which soon became popular:

"Physical training

It's good for you and me

All right!

Wake up as the sun rises!

Train all day until you complete the mission!

Huang Taiji was raised by a son of a bitch!

He contracted the venereal disease pubic lice and suffered from itching for 7 years!

I love working for Daming!

Let me know who I really am!

1234 Daming brocade guard!

1234 I love this Da Ming brocade guard!

Yours!

It's mine!

Our Daming brocade guard! ……

My musket, my dictate.

For the purpose of war, for pleasure.

I don't know, but I've heard!

The Tartar woman's is cold,

Good! It felt very comfortable

I love the feeling......

This training song is simply a combination of noble and obscene, but being a soldier is a hobby, this training song is a song that everyone must sing when they go out every day, and the military song "Jing Loyal to the Country" of Nanzhen Fusi is also passionate, and the entire military camp Tongzhou school, the military song is called a loud, and the enthusiasm for training is high.

Of course, sufficient military pay and good food make these young men can only squander their excess energy on the school field, otherwise they can only masturbate themselves in the bed, which is a waste of energy, but it's a pity.

The training of musketeers is the simplest, reloading according to the steps, listening to the order to fire a volley, crouching to reload...... Continuous repetition, training directly until all movements are unconscious and natural, and quick and without the slightest mistake, is a blood reflex.

The training of heavy infantry is a little more complicated, because it needs to be trained in five moves, halberd stabs, halberd slashing, hooking horses' legs, defending against other stabs, and preventing lower stabs, the most important of which are the first three moves, which are also the focus of training.

The Gothic plate armor worn by these heavy infantry is not very heavy, only 35 catties, which is about ten catties lighter than the weight of a set of fish scale armor, but his defense power far exceeds the fish scale armor worn by the generals at this time.

The weapon of these hoplites was a long halberd with a wooden handle, but the wooden handle was wrapped with a layer of steel skin, which was two fingers wide and wide, and wrapped the wooden handle in a spiral, so that the wooden handle of the steel cover not only had the elasticity of wood, but also prevented from being cut by the enemy's sword. The halberd is one foot and two feet long, and it is the best weapon and equipment to deal with cavalry.

The cavalry is being trained, this kid is ruthless enough, and each soldier has twelve hours to stay on horseback. They are wearing Gothic plate armor all over their bodies, their weapons are a ten-pound five-eyed gun, an embroidered spring knife, and the weight of all weapons and equipment is only more than sixty pounds, which is not much different from the weight of the cavalry at this time, but the protection and attack power have to rise by several grades.

The cavalry wears full-body plate armor that Le Yichuan found out in the training of the division commander, and these recruits are really not good at riding, so they can only rely on plate armor to protect them. Besides, the elite cavalry at this time are all armored, such as the Guanning Iron Cavalry, the Ming Guangming Armor generally weighs more than 50 catties, and with their weapons, the weight of the war horse is more than 10 catties heavier than the Jinyi Guard cavalry.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is December of the third year of Chongzhen:

Yang Tingjian received the secret letter from Jin Zhuyu, and there was only one sentence on the letter, "Everything is ready", Yang Tingjian must have known that Jin Zhuyu had mastered the evidence of Shanxi's appreciation of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.

Not much to say, Emperor Chongzhen is already looking forward to the silver of those profiteers, and Yang Tingjian also promised Chongzhen that he must get these silver in order to alleviate the financial difficulties of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, it is really difficult to say whose pockets these silver will fall into.

Now Yang Tingjian's soldiers and horses in his hands are 3,872 people, including 1,120 cavalry, these people do not need to take a four-wheeled carriage, and other branches of the army need to take a four-wheeled carriage.

A four-wheeled carriage was pulled by three horses, with a carrying capacity of almost more than 3,000 catties, just enough to carry ten soldiers and 1,000 catties of materials, which were 500 catties of food, weapons and ammunition.

Yang Tingjian had already built more than 700 four-wheeled carriages, and in order to reduce his financial pressure, he sold 200 to merchants, and the surplus was just enough for Yang Tingjian to use.

Because the Red Lady likes to manage logistics, Yang Tingjian arranged for the Red Lady to prepare the materials for the expedition, of course, there were more than a dozen bookkeepers hired by Jinyiwei to help, and the army's preparations for the expedition were in charge of Lu Jianxing, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

But Yang Tingjian needs a reasonable excuse so as not to arouse any suspicion from the eight major profiteers and traitors......
