In the end, Zhang Zhun promulgated a more perfect "Military Merit Order" and made some revisions to the merit evaluation system. According to the new "Military Merit Order", the soldiers elected their respective combat heroes. Those fighters who have performed well and have outstanding combat achievements are of course the first choice of those who have made meritorious contributions. A number of other fighters with special talents, were also nominated. For example, Xiao Baboru was nominated for third-class merit. The reason is simple, because he saved the lives of several fighters, and the fighters felt that he should make meritorious contributions.

[Khan, Xiao Baboru's name is so special, I have always written you as Sun Scarlet Ru before......]

These lists, with the approval of Zhang Zhun, were publicly commended.

Xiao Baboru was obviously stunned when he heard the news of his meritorious service. Then it felt a little unbelievable. He personally went to the bulletin board of the convoy and found his name on it, only to be convinced that the news was true. He never imagined that he would actually make meritorious contributions. Originally, saving lives and helping the wounded was his job. Unexpectedly, he could get military merit just by doing his job well. This made him have a strong sense of belonging to the escort team, and when he got to work, he was naturally more active.

During this period, matters related to the establishment of a naval army were also in full swing.

In view of the good performance of the sailor detachment in the battle, Zhang Zhun decided to formally establish the Fushan Naval Army.

According to the battle sequence, the water army of the Fushan Institute is directly under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhun, and the escort team are two equal troops. The commander of the navy, of course, is Zhang Zhun concurrently. Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu served as deputy commanders respectively. Considering the special surname of the navy, Zhang Zhun paid one tael and five cents of silver per month, which was five cents more than the average of the guards.

After having three ships, the number of sailors should be expanded to one hundred. This does not include specialized combat units. In Shandong, there has always been a shortage of skilled sailors. The sailors of the Ming Dynasty were all in the Dengzhou area. To the south, there is almost no presence of a sailor. Therefore, the water army needs to train its own sailors. In this way, the cost can be huge. Zhang Zhun suddenly allocated 1,000 taels of silver to carry out various preparatory work, and soon disappeared.

I have to say that the water army is indeed a bottomless pit.

If it weren't for the fact that the profits of the glass would soon be realized, Zhang Zhun would not have such courage.

The combat team led by Zou Mingjia, with the cooperation of Ma Yi, Dugu Lie, Yang Weiguo, Liu Jixiang and others, fought a fairly good battle at sea and gained rich combat experience. This shows that the tiger is still very useful if it is used well on a sea ship. Especially the trick of attacking the enemy's sailor, no one else can learn it. Because, no one else has a tiger gun with such a long range, and it is useless to learn it.

And most of the gunboats, the most powerful, twenty or thirty guns on one ship, were still distributed on both sides of the ship's side. When fighting, only one side can be put into service. A dozen guns are already the enemy's main battleships. According to the information provided by Xue Zhidie, the large battleships of the red-haired ghosts, with thirty or forty guns on each side, were already their flagships. The rest of the warships, there was simply not so much artillery.

In other words, as long as it doesn't run into the enemy's main battleship, the Tiger Gun can play a role. Moreover, the rate of fire of the artillery is much slower and heavier than that of the Tiger Gun. Zhang Zhun can be pleased to see that for a long time in the future, the Tiger Ben Gun will be a big killer weapon for interrupted distance fighting in naval battles.

Dugu Hunt and the others, who had never been on the ship before, had only conducted less than three days of training for the upcoming battle, and the results were already quite good. If the gunners had been specially trained in naval warfare, the results might have been even more brilliant. After all, there is a complete difference between a professional background and a halfway monk.

After research, Zhang Zhun decided to transfer 50 soldiers from the escort team to form the team of the combat detachment of the navy. These fighters are required to be agile in their movements, not seasick, and able to withstand a long and boring life at sea. If you know the surname Shui, it's even better. It's a pity that these people under Zhang Zhun are basically landlubbers, and it's really not easy to find a few people who know the surname Shui.

Fang He and Liu Dong were also transferred to the sailor combat detachment. The reason is simple, the two of them know how to swim. Before joining the convoy, the two of them were descendants of fishermen. The fishermen of the Ming Dynasty were also hereditary, and as the descendants of the fishermen, of course they couldn't do if they didn't know the surname Shui. Zhang Zhun not only transferred the two to the sailor detachment, but also gave the two of them the task of catching strong men with ten people each, asking the two of them to mobilize other fishermen's disciples to join the sailor.

Zhang Zhun was about to transfer Zhang Lingyun over, but Zhang Lingyun was reluctant. This kid was naturally afraid of water, and he had a fear of the sea, and when he got on the boat, he vomited so much that he almost vomited out his internal organs. Zhang Zhun was not reluctant. On the side of the escort team, after the transfer of fifty main forces, it is necessary to replenish a considerable number of backbones. At the same time, in the face of the continuous production of tiger guns, the escort team is also going to expand the army, and there is a serious shortage of officers! Zhang Lingyun can just be a team vice-president.

The base of the water army, of course, is set in Partridge Bay.

The area of Partridge Bay is large enough to dock twenty large warships at the same time. At the same time, the open space on both sides of the port is also very wide, and there is enough space for logistics facilities. When there is money in the future, shipyards and repair yards will also be set up here. Brigadier Zhang wants to build Partridge Bay into a huge naval base.

As for the Black Dragon Bay to the south of Partridge Bay, it happened to be used as a civilian port. Merchant ships coming and going to Fushan City docked at Heilong Bay, where goods were turned. From Heilong Bay to Fushan City, it is only a dozen miles. Moreover, according to Zhang Zhun's plan, Fushan City will definitely expand at that time, and maybe, directly to the west, it will expand to the port of Heilongwan.

On the eighth day of August, Fushan City held a grand celebration.

Yang Junjie and other martyrs are naturally the biggest heroes. Each martyr sent their closest family members to come up and receive the reward. Yang Junjie's winner is Xie Xiuniang. Yang Hongwen and other wounded are also the object of everyone's attention. After being acupuncture by Ning Lingwei with silver needles for three days, Yang Hongwen finally woke up. Subsequently, his body recovered well. By the time the celebration party was held, he could already come to the stage to receive the award with the support of his comrades-in-arms.

Dugu Hunt and others also received good reviews. Ma Yi and others have confirmed that there are at least five of the two tartars who died on Dugu Hunter's hands, but unfortunately, the number of pure tartars is a little less, only two. However, this is already a very good result. In addition, the performance of new fighters such as Wen Yong and Fang He in the battle was also quite good. In the end, both were awarded third-class merit.

The total amount of military land obtained by Yang Junjie through various means has exceeded fifty acres, reaching eighty-five acres. According to the provisions of the "Military Merit Order", the actual amount of military land awarded is 50 mu, and the rest must be distributed in the form of honorary awards. Zhang Zhun then decided to allow Yang Junjie's family to build a heroic archway for him near the streets of Fushan City, which was engraved with Yang Junjie's battle deeds for people to admire and live forever.

There is no doubt that this decision, for others, is a great stimulus. While gaining benefits, it is also possible to leave a name in history, who wouldn't want to? Yang Junjie's family is even happier. This is the first archway that belongs to men, heroes, and warriors since the establishment of Fushan City. The rest of the arches are all arches of chastity. I believe that when the archway is completed, it will definitely attract countless admiring eyes.

After the celebration meeting, Zhang Zhun called on the escort team to carry out a large-scale military training campaign.

After the battle, the convoy was replenished with a considerable number of new fighters to make up for the gap between the martyrs and the wounded. These new fighters are all top-notch soldiers selected from the second-line guerrillas and martial arts teams, and they have already mastered a considerable degree of combat skills, and some of them have experience in fighting the enemy. After joining the escort team, he is naturally handy, and he will soon be able to adapt to the life of the escort team and integrate into this big family. Therefore, the loss of combat effectiveness of the convoy can be made up in a very short time.

After this battle, everyone has more insights into the use of tiger guns, and everyone has gradually accepted this kind of combat method that does not involve hand-to-hand combat. In previous battles, hand-to-hand combat was still the mainstream, and cannons and firecrackers were used as auxiliaries, even for the Guanning Iron Cavalry. But now, with the existence of the Tiger Ben, the possibility of hand-to-hand combat is not very large, unless it is exhausted. Fortunately, such a situation usually does not occur.

Therefore, everyone is digging as much as possible for the surname of Tiger Ben Gong. One is how to reload as quickly as possible, and the other is how to shoot as accurately as possible. The faster you reload and the more accurate you shoot, the more damage you will inflict on the enemy. The greater the damage to the enemy, the greater the likelihood of being defeated. Zhang Zhun's requirement for the escort team is to drop the maximum number of mini bullets in the shortest possible time. If every warrior can fire six Mini bullets in one minute, then even the cavalry of the Tartars will not be able to withstand such a rain of bullets.

The thinking of the soldiers is indeed infinite, and even a change in every detail may have a considerable impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops. As long as every soldier uses his or her brains and puts forward suggestions for improvement in all aspects, in the end, the combat effectiveness of the escort force will reach an unprecedented height. It is only a matter of time before the Tartars are defeated, and it is also a matter of time to take out the Western powers.

What's even more rare is that the fear of tartars is completely eliminated. In front of the tiger and the horse, there is no tartar that cannot be killed. No matter how brave the Tartar is, a small Minnie bullet is enough to send him to hell. The scene of the fall of Mgotta is still fresh in the memory of many soldiers. This Tartar must be the elite of the white-armored soldiers, and if he fights hand-to-hand with the other party, he may have to pay the price of several people to destroy the other party. However, with the tiger in his hand, a light shot can take his life.

Of course, it is not easy to be proficient in making a tiger and a gun. On the battlefield, the sound of gunfire, the smoke of gunpowder, the flying of arrows, the sound of screams, groans, and shouts are mixed with each other, and it is an extremely severe test for everyone's nerves. In order to achieve the collapse of Mount Tai in front of the face without changing the color, it is necessary to carry out repeated and rigorous training. In this battle, there were many people who performed bravely, but there were also people who did not perform very well. Some tiger guns are damaged by mistake due to the excessive nervousness of their owners.

In order to exercise their strong nerves, the coach would even put the snake into the clothes of the team members in order to exercise their strong nerves, and the team members demanded that even in such a situation, they could accurately hit the target. The results of the Korean women's archery team in every Olympic Games are very good, and it is not without reason. Behind every gold medal is the dedication of countless sweats.

Although Zhang Zhun will not use such training methods, he has stricter requirements for queues, internal affairs, military orders, etc. He also used a variety of methods to train the willpower of his warriors. Second, there is a continued emphasis on discipline. In a chaotic battlefield, orders are everything, and different voices are absolutely not allowed. Even if it is a wrong order, it must be carried out.

The previous Warrior skill level is still valid.

In order to stimulate the fighters to actively exercise their skills, on August 12, the escort team held a skills competition.

The rules of the game are very simple, shooting. The target is set at a distance of 30 zhang (about 90 meters). Whoever hits the target the most times in the same amount of time is the winner. To win, two conditions must be met: first, the fastest possible reload; The second, shoot as accurately as possible. No matter which condition is missing, it is difficult to have the last laugh.

Shooters with a speed stream, in terms of hit percentage, are often not very satisfactory. And those who pursue the hit rate excessively and do not launch the tiger for a long time will find it difficult to reach the ideal height. Only if both are relatively good and relatively balanced, can they defeat each other. The competition follows the rules of a knockout round, and the selection is carried out until the best fighters are selected.

In the end, two seventh-level warriors and four sixth-level warriors were selected in the skill competition, and it was surprising that Dugu Hunt, who had just joined the army, actually defeated many opponents and became one of the two giants. Another giant is Wen Yong, who is usually silent. Wen Yong's request after winning was actually quite literati, and he wanted Zhang Zhun to give him two words. Well, the current escort has a kind of ethos that I don't know how to describe, that is, I like to be vassal. Probably because everyone suffered the loss of no culture in the past, and now they want to make up for it.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said, "Then call it Howen!" ”

Wen Yong said happily: "Thank you, sir." ”

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly.

It seems that it is necessary to let the fighters of the convoy learn cultural knowledge.

To learn cultural knowledge, the first thing is to be literate. The soldiers of the escort team are all good at training weapons, but when it comes to literacy...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, so as not to hit everyone's positive surname. Zhang Zhun was interested in learning from the experience of others, and implemented the method of knowing one word a day in the escort team, and combined literacy with military regulations to conduct spot checks at any time. If you don't pass the spot check, you will have to accept a small punishment.
