Zhao stood on the school field expressionlessly, looking at the group of forbidden soldiers below with embarrassed expressions, with a helpless expression. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the same day, after Zhao Qing put forward his idea of establishing a musket team, he won the unanimous approval of the officer class of the right battalion of the forward, and began to plan very quickly, this hundred soldiers were personally selected by Meng Hui, most of them were born in Orion before joining the army, and had a good hand in archery, although Zhao Qing did not know what the connection between marksmanship and archery was, probably shooting accurately is really a talent. But the result disappointed Zhao Qingda.
Originally, Zhao Qing set the target twenty steps away, but a hundred soldiers didn't even have a target that could hit the target, Zhao Qing had no choice but to keep shortening the distance of the target, from fifteen to ten steps, these masters who wore Yang in a hundred steps were finally barely able to hit the target, and it had to be a static target.
In the later generations of hot wars, the proportion of bullets consumed to kill was also surprisingly high, during World War I, it took 25,000 bullets to destroy a target, and in World War II, it took 20,000 bullets to kill a person. Although the level of firearms is far from being comparable to the current roaring young generals, but in the period of World War I and World War II, the concept of thermal weapons warfare has been very mature, and the combat mode is to disperse individual soldiers to find cover for firepower strikes, and the steel helmet on the head is unreliable.
Originally, Zhao Qing planned to rely on the advanced thermal weapon combat concept to catch the opponent off guard, but after checking the level of these firearms that hit the good hands, Zhao Qing couldn't help but hide his face. Even a static target within ten paces can't be steady, so if they go to the battlefield and encounter nimble soldiers or even cavalry, how will they deal with it? It is true that relying on the firepower of a hundred people to suppress, there are always so many hits under the random guns, but the ammunition consumption brought by this hit rate is probably no less than the bullet consumption to kill ratio during the First World War, and the current reserves of Ningjiang Prefecture City cannot supply such a musket team.
Zhao Qing didn't shout to stop, the school field was still crackling, the unique roar of the roaring young generals came and went, and the faces of several right battalion officers except Zhao Qing were getting more and more ugly, their ideas were simple, thinking that the archery was accurate, and the crosshairs of the fire gun were not much worse, but these disappointing performances of the good shooters they slapped their chests to ensure made them unbearable.
Feeling the oppressive atmosphere in the school field, the faces of the soldiers who trained the firearms became more and more empty. In fact, it's no wonder that they, the ammunition of the Roaring Junior General is not a cabbage, the supply is pitiful, where are they usually willing to use it for training, and after they go to the battlefield, they only have one or two shooting opportunities, it can be said that many people have basically never used this high-end gadget except for the first time when the Roaring Junior General was issued with the people who followed the weapons supervisor to learn how to use it.
Moreover, the design of this roaring young general itself is very serious, although the barrel has been replaced with copper bamboo, which greatly improves the power, but the rifling as the soul of the barrel is not, and the inner wall is quite rough, such a barrel very much affects the trajectory of the bullet after it is fired, many soldiers are indeed aiming accurately, but they can't control the weird trajectory after the bullet is fired, which leads to the bottom of the hit, but the officers will not notice this, it is really bitter to say.
Finally, Zhao Qing couldn't stand it anymore and shouted loudly to stop, and all the musketeers put down the roaring young generals as if relieved, and each stood in line with their heads down.
Meng Hui's face was pale, and he was about to attack, but was stopped by Zhao Qing in advance.
Seeing that these forbidden soldiers who were still full of confidence in front of the colonel field now lowered their heads, Zhao sighed lightly and said: "You have done a good job today, and there is no opportunity to train before, it is not easy to do this with the craftsmanship of a roaring young general, I just want to say, sharpen the knife and cut wood, don't be reluctant to ammunition, without a good shooting foundation, not only will the ammunition be wasted on the battlefield, but a musket team without an accurate head will also drag down the friendly army, so the training must not be slack." As for ammunition, don't worry, this is our officer's business, you just have to go to training. That's it for today, scatter! ”
Hundreds of forbidden soldiers left the school with their heads down, Zhao Qing took a roaring young general, and said to Meng Heng: "You don't have to blame them, this fire gun is a new thing, and it is not the same thing as a bow and arrow, and there is a problem with the craftsmanship, it is not the problem of those soldiers to fight like this." I'll go find the ordnance supervisor now to make some improvements, and I'll be back to the barracks later. ”
Meng Heng forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and nodded, he has always been known for being strict in governing the army, and the soldiers under his command lost such a big face in front of the new captain, and he was the most annoyed. However, Zhao Qing's words were not easy to ignore, so naturally he would not teach those soldiers a lesson openly.
In the past few days, Zhao Qing has moved to the camp of the right camp of the forward, although he is very close to the people of the Xiong Ye family, but after joining the army, he is not so free, and it is naturally inconvenient to live in that courtyard again. However, Shirley Zhao Qing still stayed there, it may be nothing to raise such a beast in the army, but the children are really reluctant to let Shirley go, Zhao Qing, who can't stand the children's begging, has to give up, and repeatedly promised not to take Shirley away, so he escaped from under the watery eyes of those children. However, he still has to go back to check Chen Taoer's injuries from time to time, so he will not cut off contact with that side. In Zhao Qing's mind, it was like his home in this world.
With the roaring general, Zhao Qing rode into the city alley and walked towards the city lord's mansion, the guys in the weapons supervisor always hid their heads and tails, if Zhao Qing looked for Meng Heng to lead the way, I was afraid that he would not be able to see them with a small Zhiguo captain, Zhao Qing had to go to the city lord's mansion for help.
Since a large number of mercenaries have been stationed in Ningjiang Prefecture, the city has been much stricter, and martial law has been implemented all the time, but Zhao Qing is wearing a captain's military armor, so he can naturally ride a horse on the street in a dignified manner. This military armor is very similar to Meng Hui's body, the outside is inlaid with iron sheets, and the inside is sewn with cowhide, and it can't be split with a knife or two, it is very common, but it is a bit heavy, and Zhao Qing wore it for several days before he got used to it.
Since most of the guards and forbidden troops have withdrawn, there are not many school officers and lieutenants who are like cows, and there are definitely a lot of heads of heads like Zhao Qing who appear on the streets, but most of them are with strange eyes, which lieutenant colonel will not be entangled in military affairs, it is really rare to see someone like this leisurely riding a horse and walking. How did they know that this was because Zhao Qing couldn't ride a horse, so he could only ride a horse like this, kicking and tapping, but his cheeks had long been trained as thick as a city wall, ignoring all the way and pointing all the way, and went straight to the city lord's mansion.
The little guy at the gate of the city lord's mansion knew Zhao Qing, and naturally knew that this young man had an unusual relationship with the governor of the state, so he came up very enthusiastically to hold the reins for Zhao Qing, and Zhao Qing did not get carried away, he was now wearing a military uniform, and the rules could not be messed up, so he hugged his fists and said: "Zhao Qing, the captain of the right battalion in the lower forward, came to meet Yang Duwei." ”
The little servant laughed and went in to report, and soon, Yang Duwei appeared at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Seeing Zhao Qing in military armor, Captain Yang's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Zhao Gongzi really deserves to be the queen of the general, and this military uniform is not disgraceful to the general's demeanor." Today, I actually have time to come to the city lord's mansion, come, and I will lead you to see Lord Zhouzhi. As he spoke, he was going to lead Zhao Qing into the house.
Zhao smiled bitterly and refused, and said, "Duwei Yang, I'm not here to find Lord Zhouzhi, or I'm here to find you." ”
"Looking for me? Could it be that something didn't go well in the camp and was squeezed out by Meng Heng's gang? Come, Zhao Gongzi, I'll go get justice for you! Yang Duwei had a righteous face, rolled up his sleeves and was about to go out, he knew the most about things in the army, and the possibility of this kind of thing happening was very high.
Zhao Qing had no choice but to hurriedly grab the overly enthusiastic Yang Duwei and said, "What's the matter, Yang Duwei is wrong, I get along very well with all the officers and soldiers in the army." This time, I came mainly to ask Yang Duwei to lead me to find Lord Weilong, who was in charge of the ordnance prison. ”
"Armament Supervisor?" Yang Duwei raised his eyebrows, instantly thought of a lot, and said with a smile, "This is easy to do, I will lead you there." As a lieutenant, he has a very high status, and he naturally knows more things than the captains like Meng Heng and Cao Zilin, such as what happened to the frequent fireworks in Ningjiang Prefecture during this time, and Yang Zaixing's purpose of deliberately sending Zhao Qing to the forbidden army.
Zhao Qing's knowledge of firearms is urgently needed by the Border Forbidden Army, but the Ordnance Supervision is a system independent of the military affairs system, although it is also under the orders of the military high-level, but the military personnel can hardly reach into the Ordnance Prison. The rights and interests of the ordnance prison are too sensitive, and they are directly under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, so even if Chai Yi has the intention to arrange Zhao Qing in the ordnance superintendent, there is nothing he can do, Zhao Qing's origin is mysterious, but there are too many secret technologies in the ordnance superintendent, and they will not trust a person who is not clear. This is the reason why although the ordnance supervisor has asked Zhao Qing, he has always deliberately distanced himself. And Yang Zaixing pulled Zhao Qing into the forbidden army, hoping that through his hands, he could apply his advanced firearms knowledge to the forbidden army's weapons, and now Zhao Qing is going to visit the ordnance supervisor with a roaring young general, obviously Yang Zaixing's purpose has been partially achieved.
Soon, a small servant took out Yang Duwei's mount, which was a horse that was a head taller than Zhao Qing's mare, very majestic. After stepping on the horse, he seemed to realize that Zhao Qing's horseback riding skills were limited, and Yang Duwei always pressed the speed of the horse, and walked on the street with Zhao Qing.
Most of the mercenaries who came and went on the road knew Captain Yang, and when they saw Captain Yang talking and laughing with a young officer, they took a leisurely walk, and they all guessed the origin of the young officer.
After turning left and right in the city, making a big circle, passing through several camps and throwing off a few tails with hearts, Yang Duwei led Zhao Qing into a very remote and inconspicuous alley, through a courtyard gate covered with hemp vines, Yang Duwei signaled Zhao Qing to dismount, and handed the horse reins to a few soldiers who responded, and then pushed open a door casually and walked down the stairs with a black hole inside.
There was a sound of the door closing from behind, and the stairs instantly became dark, but soon, a candlelight appeared in front of him, illuminating the stairs, Zhao Qing couldn't help muttering in his heart pretending to be a ghost, looking down, obviously the front is still very deep, and this armory prison should be deep underground. If it was so deep underground, Zhao Qing really didn't know where those rumbling movements came from a few days ago.
After walking for a while, he finally reached the end of the stairs, Zhao Qing only felt that there were a few turns in the middle, and there were steps up, obviously this basement was not very deep. Pushing open the iron door at the end of the stairs, Zhao Qing actually had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, this was a rather large underground space, and there was even sunlight coming in from above, which was obviously transformed from a natural hole. There are a lot of facilities inside, and there are probably dozens of people busy, which is where the mysterious Liaodong Weapons Supervisor is located. Zhao Qing couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this huge basement, of course, this place is still too small as a military factory, at best it is just a research base, and this is indeed the case. The scientific research site of the Ordnance Supervisor is not necessarily in the rear of the security, and it is easier to ignore being on the front line like this.
The scale of the real large-scale military factory for the mass production of weapons is much larger than this, and it must be at least tens of thousands of people to operate, and the most famous military factory in the Great Zhou is the Daimyo's Mansion located on Hebei Road thousands of miles away.
The arrival of Yang Duwei and Zhao Qing quickly attracted people's attention, and after receiving the report, Wei Long, who had a big beard, appeared in front of the two of them expressionlessly, and said in a flat tone: "Zhao Gongzi, Yang Duwei, I don't know what you have to do here." ”
