Chapter 46: Everything is ready
At this time, it became a common practice for the Ming Dynasty to raise their own soldiers, and all the Ming generals were raising their own soldiers. In fact, the personal soldiers of these Ming generals have become their personal soldiers, and Yang Tingjian is just learning from them, but he has a little bit of personal soldiers.
When he had free time in the evening, Yang Tingjian would go to the firearms and armor workshop to inspect and casually guide some production or solve some technical problems.
The production speed of CNC machine tools is very fast, it only takes five minutes to process the rifling of a barrel, and it only takes thirty minutes to make all the parts of a Shenwei musket, and it only takes three shifts a day to process the musket, and in a month at most, Yang Tingjian can produce more than 4,000 high-quality Shenwei muskets.
As for the Fran cannon, it will not be produced until the musket is finished, and only two will be produced for training purposes in the early stage.
The soldiers recruited by Yang Tingjian were all reorganized, with a total of 3,000 units and an artillery detachment.
Among them, there are a total of 1,120 people in the Qianhu Household Office of Fusi Guangqumen in Nanzhen, stationed in the area of Guangqumen in Beijing, and the thousand households are Lu Jianxing, the main weapon is the Shenwei musket, wearing half-body Gothic plate armor (weighing 18 pounds), and the lower body is leather armor.
This is an all-firearms unit, and it is also the trump card in Yang Tingjian's hands, so Yang Tingjian handed him over to Lu Jianxing, who is the most loyal and faithful, Lu Jianxing himself is already a thousand-household rank, and it is just right to lead this unit.
Shen Lian is the captain of the auxiliary army of the Guangqumen Qianhu Institute of Fusi in Nanzhen, and the establishment is also 1120 people, this army is mainly equipped with Gothic plate armor and iron-clad halberds, which is the hoplite. (Gothic plate armor 35 pounds)
This halberd is to add a horizontal blade to the leading side of the spear, so that the function of the halberd is more, it can be stabbed, cut, hooked and so on. This halberd is an important weapon in battle, and it is even more effective against the enemy's cavalry, and can be used as a hook and sickle.
The heavy infantry was mainly to guard against the enemy's cavalry to attack the musket phalanx, and the cavalry units were the nemesis of the musket units for a long time, and only after the large-scale use of machine guns and tanks did the cavalry completely withdraw from the stage of history.
Even World War II had a large number of cavalry units, only to suffer heavy casualties under tanks and machine guns. Yang Tingjian didn't have tanks and machine guns, so Yang Tingjian definitely didn't dare to say that the enemy's cavalry couldn't break his three-stage musket and shoot continuously.
Le Yichuan is the captain of the baggage troops of the thousand households of the Guangqumen of Fusi in Nanzhen, he and Shen Lian are both in the rank of one hundred households, and it is completely reasonable for the hundred households to lead the baggage soldiers, and the establishment of this team is also 1120 people, they are mainly cavalry, mainly using Gothic plate armor, sabers and five-eyed guns.
Yang Tingjian also wanted his cavalry to use guns with more than seven eyes, but it was too heavy, and the Gothic plate armor weighed thirty-five catties, and the saber also weighed five or six catties. A five-eyed gun with a chamber half a meter long, plus a two-meter iron-clad wooden handle, this five-eyed gun that can be used as a heavy weapon weighs fifteen or sixteen pounds.
These weights add up to nearly 50 catties, which is just the weight of the equipment of a medium-sized cavalry, if the equipment reaches more than 100 catties, it is completely a heavy cavalry, and the heavy cavalry can not run fast, nor can it run far. (Heavy cavalry should not only be heavily armoured, but also horses.) )
Yang Tingjian's cavalry was mainly used to pursue the fleeing enemy, because his recruits were not as good at riding and shooting as the Manchu Tartars, so they could only be armed with armor, otherwise these cavalry could only deliver food to the Manchu and Mongol Tatars.
What's more, the Gothic plate armor made by Yang Tingjian can already reach the defensive strength of two or three layers of fish scale armor, even if it is a heavy cavalry with three layers of iron armor in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is nothing more than that. But Yang Tingjian's cavalry is equipped with five-eyed guns!
This kind of five-eyed gun is not a three-eyed gun made by Daming, but a seamless steel pipe brought back by Yang Tingjian from modern times, and its range has reached more than 200 meters, and it can break two layers of iron armor within 100 meters.
After the five-eyed gun is shot, it is a very good heavy blunt weapon, even if the person in armor is smashed, it is not dead or seriously injured, in addition, his wooden pole is also wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, the general knife is constantly chopping, this is really a very good cavalry weapon, a combination of cold and hot.
Shen Lian and the three of them were very satisfied with their new positions, and they also liked the types of troops they were assigned, such as Le Yichuan, because he was a Mongol, grew up on horseback, and had a unique affection for cavalry, of course, it was most reasonable for him to command the cavalry.
The artillery detachment consisted of 200 men, and was expected to be armed with 36 120-mm Furlong cannons, each with five men and ten guns. The commander of the artillery detachment is Zhang Ergou, who came with Wang Daniu, he has no book title, and it is also recorded in the military register of Nanzhen Fusi.
The remaining more than 300 people are really heavy soldiers, and it is estimated that there are 300 four-wheeled carriages for hunting, each four-wheeled carriage is drawn by three horses, and the carrying capacity is 3,000 catties.
The ranks of these recruits are very low, and many positions within 100 households are represented by people who are prominent in the training table, and they will only change from acting to real positions after they have made meritorious contributions, and if they are not competent, they can only go back to work as a big soldier.
Yang Tingjian's preparations are in full swing, and when all the weapons and equipment are fully in place, he can start actual combat training, which is not long in time.
……
In late November of the third year of Chongzhen, Yang Tingjian received all kinds of evidence sent by Chang Yanxiao, that is, evidence about Wang Hui's greed for ink, and evidence of more than a dozen murders of Wang Hui, so Yang Tingjian can start.
Wang Hui is Cheng Guogong's brother-in-law, and Cheng Guogong also admits to Jingying, but these have no meaning to Yang Tingjian, Yang Tingjian just wants to swatt flies on the tiger's head.
People's fame can be fought for, some time ago Yang Tingjian killed the chief of the river Jiayin in the army, and he has been commended by Emperor Chongzhen to the world.
But this can only show that Yang Tingjian has the courage of ten thousand people, but it does not mean that Yang Tingjian has the style of a literati, after all, Yang Tingjian is going to take the road of the imperial examination, and brushing up his reputation is very important for Yang Tingjian, which is a condition for future promotion.
Of course, at this time, Yang Tingjian did not have the ability to fight tigers as the Duke of Chengguo, but Yang Tingjian could swatt flies on the tiger's head, Wang Hui was just a fly, this person did a lot of evil, and he had a lot of blood debts, Yang Tingjian didn't shoot him who he swatted, this was simply tailored for Yang Tingjian's prestige.
The next day, Yang Tingjian set off from Tongzhou alone to the capital, Tongzhou to the capital is only more than 20 kilometers, and it takes half an hour to ride a horse, Yang Tingjian went directly to the "Dragon Gate Inn".
When Yang Tingjian entered, he felt very strange, those people in the rivers and lakes suddenly became very respectful after seeing Yang Tingjian dressed as a doctor and a scholar, this is not the attitude of those people in the rivers and lakes towards scholars.
But Yang Tingjian couldn't go up and ask others, "Why did you suddenly become respectful to me, say quickly, is there any plan?" Yang Tingjian was not arrogant enough to do this, so Yang Tingjian had no choice but to enter Zhegui Garden with questions.
The gate of Zheguiyuan has also changed, replaced with a vermilion copper hat gate, and there are two women dressed in rivers and lakes watching the door at the door, and their appearance is medium, but it can be seen from their palms and eyes that these two women are practicing families.
As soon as Yang Tingjian arrived at the door, the two women immediately knelt down on one knee, and at the same time clasped their fists with both hands, lowered their heads at Yang Tingjian, and said very respectfully:
"My subordinates have seen plum blossoms and peonies, please be safe."
