Chapter XVIII Formation of Firearms Battalions

While the two of them were talking, the Qing army below carried over the captured rifles, boxes and boxes, and boxes of bullets, these are all treasures!

Guo Ye looked at the rifle in front of him, if he was not mistaken, this should be the Enfield rifle that the British Imperial Army is now commonly equipped with, using rifled technology, it can also be regarded as a first-class rifle in the world today, although it will be eliminated in the next few years, but it is still a good weapon.

Guo Ye picked up one casually and shouted, "Tell me, who of you here will use this rifle?" ”

Now in the Dagukou Fort, almost all the soldiers already know Guo Ye's name, this guy is really unseemly to rectify the group of soldiers in the North Fort, and even calls him Yama Luo in private!

Seeing Guo Ye asking, the Qing soldiers who were close to him shrank their necks, and replied boldly: "This, my lord, these are all things used by foreign devils, don't say whether they will be used, just see, the little ones haven't seen it either......"

The others also nodded, and Guo Ye felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, this is the current Qing army soldiers, it can be said that except for the Hunan army in the south, they are the most capable of fighting, so what, they have not even seen the rifled rifles that are already commonly equipped in the world, let alone use them! With such a quality, how can you compete with those British and French forces?

Guo Ye opened a bullet box, took out a few bullets from it, loaded them quickly, and shot them into the distance!

Bang bang bang!

Four gun holes appeared neatly on a mast in the distance, and the damaged mast was in the wind, it was difficult to bear the weight, and it fell down with a bang, startling the nearby Qing army!

Monk Lingqin and He Zhengqing on the side applauded repeatedly, such a marksmanship is absolutely unique in the Qing army.

Guo Ye handed the rifle to Seng Lingqin's hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, this rifle, called Enfield rifle, should be the common equipment of the British Army, the biggest advantage of this rifle is that the barrel has rifling, which can ensure the shooting accuracy of the bullet, and now the muskets equipped by our Qing army are all smoothbore guns, not only backward performance, but also no way to compare with rifled guns in terms of accuracy, the most important thing is that there is more rifling on the barrel, and the bullet is fired in a high-speed rotation way, not only has a long range, After hitting the enemy, it will bring more damage to the enemy, and we will suffer a big loss in the future war......"

Monk Greenqin was shocked, although he had heard Shi Rongchun say that he disassembled and assembled the Colt pistol, but this rifle is obviously different from the pistol, the pistol is used as an ornament, many heavy generals or dignitaries have treasures, he himself has two, but the rifle is different, especially the standard rifles in the army, which are almost rare in the Qing Dynasty, where did this Guo Ye learn such profound knowledge?

Monk Lingqin asked, "Guo Ye, are you very proficient in these guns?" Where did you learn so much from? ”

Forehead......

Guo Ye smiled and replied: "Lord Wang, these are all obtained from a lowly teacher from a stranger, this is not the point, the point is that these guns are too important to us, as long as we arm them all into our army, and then teach them well, an army armed with this kind of rifle will definitely more than double its combat power!" Now internal and external troubles, Lord Wang, it is time for us to change! ”

Monk Lingqin's eyes flickered, how could he not know that this rifle was extremely powerful? Although he didn't catch up with the battle of Shicai, he didn't look at the Tang newspaper in Guangzhou, and the Qing army suffered enough under this kind of rifle in the first battle of Guangzhou! If there is really such an army in hand, whether it is to deal with the current foreigners, or to eradicate the rebellion in the future, it will always be an extremely strong help!

But...... But!

How to teach? There is no one in the entire Qing army who understands it at all! If you don't know how to use it, then this rifle is not as good as a burning stick in the hands of the Qing army!

Monk Greenqin muttered: "Guo Ye, what you said is undoubtedly insightful, but it is not easy to teach the Qing army to practice this kind of musket, and there are only a handful of people in the entire Qing army who know how to use this gun......"

When Guo Ye heard this, he knelt down on one knee and replied: "Lord Wang, if the prince trusts the lowly position, then hand over this matter to the lowly position, and within half a year, you will find that you have another strong army in your hands that can dominate the world!" ”

Monk Greenqin raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Guo Ye, is this true?" There is no joke in the army, if you make a promise and can't fulfill it, even if you have great ability, you can't escape military law! ”

Guo Ye replied: "Don't worry, the prince has absolute confidence, now that we are fighting with foreigners, we must master such a sophisticated weapon as soon as possible, and in the future war, we will be able to have a slight chance of winning!" ”

Monk Lingqin nodded and replied, "Okay! Guo Ye, now you don't have a title, it's just that Yin Tang and I pity your talent, so we put you in the North Fort to train soldiers, and your title of Qianzong, I have already got it for you, this battle of Dagukou, also thanks to your help, the credit is the first, it is definitely you, the only problem is that your qualifications are too thin. If this king does his best to protect, even if the generals of the third rank can't get it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to give you a guerrilla from the third grade! ”

From the guerrilla general of the three products!

Guo Ye's heart was shocked, now he wants to show his ambitions, then he must have power, absolute power, without power, everything is in vain, although the guerrilla general from Sanpin is not very heavy, but it is already extraordinarily overpromoted!

Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Guo Ye, thank you for the prince's generous gift!" I will do my best to serve the court, not to disappoint the prince, and definitely not to disappoint the handsome under the nine springs! ”

Monk Greenqin said in a deep voice: "A guerrilla general, although the rank is not very high, but it is enough to command a battalion, however, this battalion will use this kind of incomparably sophisticated musket in the future, if the combat power really reaches what you said, Guo Ye, you should be plain, how important this position is!" It's not a Manmeng noble, I'm afraid it's difficult to master such an important position, now this kind of weapon is only proficient in you, and there is no way to do it, in order to be able to justifiably, I will hand over the most important commander under my command to you to work together, you two are one and one pair, everything is based on you, be sure to train me a battalion of elite soldiers! ”

"Wow!"

"Guo Ye, don't agree too quickly, I'll give you three days, you have to come up with a truly feasible charter for me!"
