Seeing that the emotions of the crew were calmed, Li Tu intensified the intensity of the training. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info train arquebus shooting for an hour every day, line up to take turns to shoot targets, and each person shoots three shots. The rest of the time is spent on weight-running workouts, queue exercises, and combat training.

Physical training is an important guarantee to ensure that combat actions can be carried out reasonably, and only a crew with sufficient physical strength can calmly shoot and throw bombs. In this event, Li Tu asked the crew to do a five-kilometer cross-country run, a 100-meter sprint, a frog jump, and push-ups. Although the queue exercise seems useless, it is an important training to ensure combat efficiency in the era of hot weapons. In the era of hot weapons, only a team with strict discipline and an overall military posture can have combat effectiveness.

Combat training is the sword fight when the enemy rushes in front of you, which is the last means of defeating the enemy.

In order to motivate the crew's enthusiasm for training, Li Tu tested the crew's marksmanship and combat skills every day, and rewarded and punished them.

In this era, maritime trade was a lucrative business. With Xiao Xiangui's silver as the foundation, Li Tu had ample room when he formulated the reward and punishment system.

Li Tu stipulates that all members of the ship, including the owner, must participate in training.

In shooting training, if all three shots hit a wooden plank 80 paces away, it is considered superior and scored 10 points; Those who are shot twice are awarded six points; Those who get one shot are awarded two points; If you don't hit a single shot, you get zero points.

In combat training, everyone is ranked according to their martial arts level. Conduct a fighting competition once a day, and defeat a person who is stronger than your opponent in the fighting competition, and you will get ten points; Defeat an opponent who is within three of you in the ranking and get six points; If you beat the player who is within six places of your ranking, you will get two points; Those who are defeated by others get zero points.

The sum of the scores of the two sessions is the total score of a person's training for that day.

Li Tu gave different rewards and punishments for different training results: if he scored more than 15 points in training every day, he was superior, he was served with a large piece of beef and mutton and fruits, and he was rewarded with half a penny. Those who have received more than ten points in training are medium, with a small amount of beef and mutton and sufficient vegetables to serve, and there is no silver reward; Those who score more than five points in training are inferior, with a small amount of pork and plenty of vegetables; Those who score less than five points are considered to fail, and there is no meat to eat, only white rice and vegetables.

This kind of food supply, although divided into upper, middle and lower failures, basically ensures the supply of calories and protein for the vast majority of people, and helps the crew to grow stronger.

In order to motivate everyone to sum up the lessons of the training, Li Tu also made a rule that every day let those with high scores, or those who have improved their skills, preach their experience to other boatmen on the ship's terrace in the evening. The preacher not only has the scenery of showing his face, but also imparts the experience, according to the quality of the speech, there is also a reward of less than one or two pieces of silver. In addition, the preacher and several people in charge of the ship could go to live and rest in the samurai mansion loaned by the Satsuma Domain.

With a multi-pronged approach, the training results of the sailors of the Zaixing were gratifying. Whether it is the level of arquebus shooting, or the level of sword fighting, or even the level of physical fitness, it has steadily improved. And the queue training also makes the crew more and more like a combat force in the era of hot weapons, such as the arm makes the command forbidden.

Not everyone enjoys this kind of training, though. After practicing for a month, most of the others were able to hit two out of three, but Wang Jian's arquebus shooting level was always missed.

Li Tu sensed that there was a problem here, so he found Wang Jian and asked carefully.

At dinner that night, Li Tu found Wang Jian in the group of sailors who ate inferior food, and asked:

"Mr. Wang, I've been practicing for a month, and everyone else can hit the plank, why is your shooting level still missing?"

Seeing that Li Tu of the second shop came over to talk to Wang Jian about the training, the sailors around him looked at each other a few times, and they all took their jobs and avoided them.

Hearing Li Tu's words, Wang Jian looked at Li Tu, but did not speak.

Li Tu was helpless, so he could only ask again: "What is the secret of Mr. Wang's shop?" Everyone is in the same boat, in the same boat. Now that the enemy is present, if you don't work hard and train hard, you will be sorry for the other shipwrights and sailors. ”

Li Tu was polite when he said this, and directly accused Wang Jian of not training well and harming others. When Wang Jian heard Li Tu's words, he was forced to answer:

"Although I lost to you in the competition on the ship, I have always been a martial artist. Martial artists have the dignity of martial artists. The dignity of the warrior is in the bow, horse, sword and gun practiced day and night. Relying on fiddling with the arquebus, relying on kit and kat to take people's lives a hundred steps away, is not worthy of the dignity of a warrior. ”

Hearing this, Li Tu was stunned, not knowing what to say. I can't imagine that in this world, there are such elm-headed people who worship force. After a long time, Li Tu reacted and said:

"The so-called times are also the situation, and the arquebus eliminates the bow and sword on the battlefield, which is an irreversible trend of the times. The so-called those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die. Wang Zongpu, do you know that the times have changed, if you don't master this thing, you will have no place on the battlefield in the future. ”

Looking at Li Tu, Wang Jian replied: "Martial artists have been practicing martial arts for ten years, and they have only practiced a strong body when they smell the chickens and dance candles. With that arquebus, even a child can take your life if he pulls the trigger on you. ”

"Such things are the most wicked. If everyone on the battlefield were equipped, there would be no need for warriors like us in this world. Once this thing is popularized, the dignity of our warriors will be shattered. ”

"Other people practice this to save their lives, I can't control it. But I will not practice such evil things. Even if I have nowhere to stand, I will not let go of my martial dignity. ”

Hearing this, Li Tu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

After thinking about it, Li Tu said: "Mr. Wang, the times are different now, that is, the Ming official army is also equipped with a large number of firearms. It is only this trade ship that is privately operated and does not have the technical strength to equip firearms, so it still retains the tradition of gang-hopping battles. ”

Wang Jian closed his eyes and said resolutely: "Because of this, I will come to this boat to go to sea." ”

Touching his stomach, Li Tu said helplessly:

"Mr. Wang, I am also a martial artist, I have practiced martial arts for more than ten years, but I have to be ruthless to learn the operation of this arquebus. When the time comes, if you fight with Chen Shengning's people, it will be flesh and blood, and if one more person can use a musket, you will have a better chance of winning. This training is a matter of life and death for everyone, and there is no room for personal willfulness. ”

Seeing that Wang Jian was still frowning coldly to himself, Li Tu could only say:

"The owner Xiao Xiangui asked me to be in charge of training, and you deliberately didn't practice the arquebus, this is to resist the owner's order."

Hearing this, Wang Jian frowned and replied unhappily:

"Are you using the owner to crush me?"

At the mention of his voice, Wang Jian had already turned his face and said loudly:

"Even if the owner asks you to be in charge of training, you have to figure it out, I am the head shop, you are only the second shop, and you are just my second shop. Even if the owner puts you in charge of training, it won't be your turn to dictate my affairs! ”

Flicked his sleeves, Wang Jian looked unhappy and walked away.

Looking at Wang Jian who walked away helplessly, Li Tu shrugged his shoulders and secretly said that there was no way.
