Chapter Ninety-One: Changing the Rules

"Now it's up to the salt regiment to start shooting and proofreading. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Suddenly, the loud shouting made Qin Chuan, who was agitated, suddenly excited, and only then did he notice that the gunfire of the shooting review had already stopped, and without thinking about it anymore, Qin Chuan hurriedly said goodbye to Nie Shicheng and Feng Guozhang, and ran back to his salt ball with his legs.

Because Qin Chuan didn't come back, the people of the salt group were still standing there neatly, and under the urging of the instructor in the martial arts academy, Qin Chuan counted out twenty-nine people, and he himself took his own rifle from one of the team members, and walked to the shooting position with the first wave of salt team members in the eyes of everyone.

Although Qin Chuan is still an alternate officer, his troops are not official troops of the Huai Army, but how can he also be an official! Qin Chuanken came on the field in person with a gun, and immediately aroused a look of surprise and disdain.

At this time, not to mention the Huai army, even among all the generals of the Qing army, there would be no military attache appointed by the imperial court who was willing to bow and shoot with a gun, let alone learn Western-style military command, Qin Chuan's actions were naturally regarded by many people as "willing to degenerate".

It's just that Qin Chuan doesn't care about this, what he cares about is the shooting results of this time, as long as he shoots five shots and fifty rings, he can almost improve the scores of these twenty-nine people by one ring on average. After several students in the Martial Arts Academy asked the names of the members of the salt team at each shooting position one by one and registered, Qin Chuan simply encouraged the first wave of team members, stood in the queue and raised his rifle, and pulled the bolt of the gun and pushed it into the chamber with a "bang".

At a distance of fifty meters, Qin Chuan almost didn't have to aim, he could raise his gun to fight, and he could guarantee that it would be ten rings, just to not make these team members nervous, he didn't shoot immediately, but after most of the team members had fired three shots, he hooked the trigger, and then pushed the bullet to load, the five shots were like flowing water, while the salt team members who shot in the first wave of shooting fired the last two shots, Qin Chuan also just shot five shots, Qin Chuan was extremely skilled in shooting, and the teacher who watched it was stunned.

With the hole designed by Qin Chuan, the people of the salt group already had some confidence in their hearts when shooting, and after the first wave of team members finished shooting, they felt that their results were good, and they couldn't help but show a happy look on their faces. With them as an example, the next few waves of players who went up to shoot also got better and better.

After the shooting, the instructor asked people to take the target paper of the salt group, and looked up and down the more than 100 people in the salt group for a while, and then hurriedly went to the school review table with the target paper.

After the three competitions, the results of each unit were statistically evaluated, but the results that should have come out soon dragged on for almost half an hour. During this period, officials who did not live in the Wubei Academy and the Yamen, the governor of Zhili and the minister of Beiyang Commerce, ran up and down on the viewing platform, and surrounded Li Hongzhang and Zhou Fu, and were very busy.

In the end, it was the general office of the Armed Forces Academy that Yin Yan took the microphone and announced that because the results of the school review of each team were very close, there were many ties, and the rankings could not be assessed. In the Rapid Gun Shooting Competition, each team can decide whether to participate in the competition or not.

Temporarily changing the rules of the game, it is obvious that there is a cat hidden in it, but this news did not cause dissatisfaction among the participating troops, on the contrary, the officers who led the team showed a smug look on their faces, although they were far away, Qin Chuan could not see the expressions of those civil and military officers on the stage, but Qin Chuan could clearly feel that this decision made those officers, especially the generals of various departments, much easier. Only Jia Qisheng looked quite disdainful, glanced at Qin Chuan and Yantuan's neat team, and shook his head unabashedly.

Qin Chuan knew in his heart that this temporary change of rules was aimed at him Qin Chuan and his salt group.

In this queue, no one will criticize the salt group for winning the first place. In terms of drawing, Qin Chuan is absolutely confident that no one can beat him. is shooting, his salt regiment should also be in the middle and upper, if the rules are not changed in this review, the first place will definitely not be able to run. But if you want to get the best score of ten people, Qinchuan's salt regiment will not be able to compare with these troops who have been prepared for a long time, and this alone is estimated to pull down the results of the salt regiment.

Each team takes the best score of 10 people, and there is no need to re-compare, as long as the 10 people with the best shooting results are selected from the various units that have been compared.

Qin Chuan forcibly suppressed the nameless anger that rose in his heart, and turned around and instructed Chu Yun to fly to the viewing platform to sign up for the rapid artillery shooting competition.

Qin Chuan heard that it was only when Li Hongzhang reviewed the Beiyang Naval Division that it was an assessment subject, and all units would not bring gunners to participate in the review, and it was said that only the cadets of the Armed Forces Academy and the Beiyang Naval Division had ready-made gunners.

However, even if there are gunners among the people who come to participate in the competition, they usually fiddle with the ship's cannons, and fiddling with this kind of smiling mountain cannon will naturally not be as skilled as the students of the Martial Arts Academy, that is to say, this project is purely set up for the students of the Armed Forces Academy, and the first place is for the students of the Martial Arts Academy.

It's just that what everyone never expected was that Qinchuan's salt group also went to the school review desk to sign up for the competition, which made Beiyang officials, including Li Hongzhang, look at each other.

Sure enough, only the Armed Forces Academy, the Beiyang Naval Division, and the Qinchuan Salt Regiment participated in the rapid artillery shooting competition, and the shooting target was the Armed Forces Academy, and several students rode fast horses to run two miles away, planting nine red flags on a dirt slope, and the three teams participating in the competition each tested two shots, and then fired three shells, and the one whose shell landed close to the red flag was preferred, and of course it was best to hit the red flag.

The students of the Armed Forces Academy brought a cannonball and put it next to the mountain cannon in front of the school review platform, the first group went up to naturally the people of the Armed Forces Academy, under the control of three students of the Armed Forces Academy, one gave the order, one person loaded the ammunition, and the other watched the cannon, with the three deafening cannon sounds, a red flag on the distant dirt slope was blown away by the explosion of the air wave, one side was directly shattered, and the first shell exploded far away on the top of the soil slope.

Originally, two rounds were supposed to be test-fired, but for some reason, the cadets of the Armament Academy did not conduct a test firing, and directly fired three shells and returned to the queue.

At first, Qin Chuan was still a little strange, but after thinking about it slowly, he understood that the students of the Martial Arts Academy were the landlords here, and they usually trained here, and they were already familiar with the surrounding reference scenes, and it didn't matter to them whether they tested or not. And most of them were embarrassed to win because of the temporary change of the rules of the game. I simply gave up the test launch and made some appearances.
