Chapter XXVI Joining the Firearms Battalion

After listening to Ziren's words, Shen Yourong paused. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info said: "This kid is so strange, in the past few years, he has come to me to take leave from the expedition, and there are not a few people who delay people for some reason, and I have a big head." But this is a gift and a request to fight, you are a scorpion - the only one. I heard that you were recommended by the Duke of Wei in Jiangnan, and not long after you arrived, Zu Chengxun personally came to entrust you, asking me to take care of you. I thought you were a gentleman in a martial arts family, and you came to my Liaodong to get in touch with Li Dashuai's light, so that you would have the opportunity to be promoted in the future. So it seems that I despise you. After speaking, he had to look at this Ziren with a smile on his face.

Ziren replied at this time: "The adults guessed right, the small family is indeed from Wuxun." However, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, so that I can serve the court one day, open up territory for my Ming Dynasty, and go into battle to kill the enemy. There is another hidden reason for the matter that Lord Zu Chengxun entrusted people to take care of, and the villain will report to the adults later. By the way, Lord Shen, how is the enemy situation this time? When will the army set out? After speaking, he looked at Shen Yourong urgently.

Seeing this, Shen Yourong opened his mouth and laughed:

"Hahaha...... you kid can't wait to go into battle to kill the enemy, which is quite the charm of when I was first admitted to the martial arts examination. Lao Tzu likes your newborn calf's vigor that is not afraid of tigers. But Ziren, you relax, and there will be battles left under my command in the future.

This time, the Turkbarian Department united the local Mongolian Duoyan Sanwei in Liaodong, with no less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and it was menacing. Seeing that the enemy was about to be detained, Lord Li Chengliang, who was stationed in Quang Ninh, ordered all the passes to be on guard. Governor Gu rushed to Liaoyang a few days ago, mobilized all kinds of men and horses and sub-patrol troops*, and after the army was assembled, he would go out for reinforcements in a few days. By the way, how many families do you have under your boy's command to deploy? ”

(In the Ming Dynasty, the sub-department was set up under the Inspectorate, and its chief was responsible for supervising and inspecting the political and judicial situation of the prefecture, government, and county to which it belonged. There is no state capital in Liaodong Town, and each sub-patrol road garrison is mainly responsible for the military and political affairs and defense of each road. Due to the distance between the Shandong Governor and the inconvenient command during the war, all sub-patrols obeyed the transfer of the governor of Liaodong. )

Hearing that Shen Yourong was asking him a question, Ziren hurriedly replied: "There are not many family members who are traveling with villains, and there was a big battle with Mengnu's sentry a few days ago, and many people were injured. There are a total of four people who can play this time, plus me, but everyone has a first. There are a lot of firearms carried, and they are one person and two horses, I hope the adults will not dislike it. ”

After hearing this, Shen Yourong thought to himself in his heart. Although there are not many people under Ziren, they can achieve one person and two horses, and their weapons and armor will not be bad. His firearms battalion has been fighting fiercely this year, and its soldiers have suffered a lot of losses, and they have not been able to make up for it. He immediately decided to integrate Ziren and others into his cavalry team, and directly obeyed his deployment on the battlefield.

Ziren couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Shen Yourong had agreed to take him to battle, and the two talked. Shen Yourong and Ziren's hometown are in the same Jiangnan, and the customs of the two places are not much different. The two chatted about this topic quite closely, and inadvertently thought it was almost evening. Ziren saw that it was getting late and didn't want to bother more, so he got up and said goodbye. Before Shen Yourong set out for the expedition, there were many affairs in the camp that needed to be taken care of, and he did not keep them. Before leaving, Ziren also handed a silver ingot to Shen Wansan, who came out to see him off, Shen Wansan pretended to excuse himself, and then accepted it with a smile.

After that, Ziren returned to the inn where he stayed, and spent the next day making preparations for the expedition. Thinking that he has few people, he will inevitably lack firepower. Ziren took out all the three-eyed guns he had brought from home, a total of four, all of which were nailed. In addition to Wang Xuedao and Tang Yaoshun's hands, two guns with iron nails in their hands, a total of six. Three sturdy sticks were found, and a gun was attached to each end to form three three-eyed guns that could be fired at both ends.

The three-eyed gun only needs to be filled in advance, and then stuffed into the barrel with wood, rags and other fillings. It can avoid the immediate bump and loosening of gunpowder and lead bullets. Once encountering the enemy, it can be fired continuously to strengthen the firepower. The Wang brothers are powerful, and they can only be used as maces in close combat, which is quite effective.

See all to be ready. Early the next morning, Ziren took care of Youcai, and then took Shoutie and the Wang brothers to the firearms camp. rushed to meet Shen Yourong, and at the same time prepared to hurry up and run in with Shen Yourong's family.

Shen Yourong was already in the firearms battalion at this time, and he was directing his soldiers to sort out and load artillery, gunpowder, shells and other items one by one. So he asked Shen Wansan to entertain him and take him around to learn about the environment of the firearms camp. Shen Wansan got the benefits of Ziren a few days ago, and he didn't shirk at this time, and was quite enthusiastic to introduce the situation of the firearms camp to Ziren.

The firearms battalion of Liaodong Town has one chief general (Shen Yourong), and there are four generals in this establishment, each of which is led by a hundred presidents. However, now there is a serious shortage of personnel, and it has been reduced to three generals: A, B, and C. There are four teams under A and B, and each team has a total of one team. There are 12 fast gunners and 12 sharpshooters, each with a one-eye firearm. Each total is one hundred and one people, including one hundred, four in the team, and ninety-six soldiers.

Quick gun: long-handled musket, five points and five feet long, weighing five catties, the front is a sharp spear head, followed by a two-foot long gun barrel, there are four hoops, the inner wall is smooth, three or four coins of gunpowder and lead bullets are loaded from the mouth, and the back of the barrel is a long handle. When using it, first remove the gun head, insert a 5-inch fire line into the barrel, and then load the gun head after the fire, and fight with the enemy in close combat.

Divine gun: also known as flying gun, divine machine gun, divine machine gun, divine machine musket, is a tube-shaped firearm that fires arrows. The Ming Dynasty fought with Annam (present-day Vietnam) during the Yongle period. There is a wooden transmitter (Trojan horse) between the arrow and the propellant, which is used to prevent air leakage. After the Ming Dynasty handcuffs were influenced by the spear, they also began to use wooden senders.

The total number of artillery remains unchanged, and the total number of 100 is divided into four teams. The first and second teams each had 12 guns, three shared one artillery cart, and six people operated one artillery cart. The third and fourth teams each carried two general cannons, and twelve people operated one cannon. Both the exterminator cannon and the general's cannon were carried by artillery carts, and horses dragged them on weekdays.

Exterminator: A vehicle-mounted medium-sized artillery, made of pure iron, with a tube length of two feet, weighing ninety-five pounds, five hoops, and one pound of lead bullets. Use the exterminator car to travel, each car three doors.

General Cannon: The large artillery has a multi-bell model, the body is cast from pig iron, five feet long, weighs 500 catties, has multiple reinforcing hoops, fires three catties of lead bullets, and is carried by a car. The wheels are high in the front and low in the back, and can be fired directly from the car, which has great power. In October of the ninth year of Jiajing (1530), manufacturing began. In the battle of Wanli to aid the dynasty, when Li Rusong attacked the Qixing Gate, he used this kind of artillery to open the city gate. )

In addition, there are fifty people from Shen Yourong's family, and everyone has horses and is divided into two teams. A team of good melee combat is only used for charging on weekdays, led by Shen Yourong himself. There is also a team of cavalry, which was responsible for seizing the high ground in the past, dismounting and releasing birds and tiger squatting cannons to kill the enemy. Ziren was on this team, led by Shen Wansan.

In addition, the firearms battalion also has a sub-battalion. There were 150 miscellaneous servants, who were responsible for carrying gunpowder, shells, and shells on weekdays. In case of crisis, you can also go into battle to kill the enemy, but the combat power is not strong.

As soon as Shen Wansan finished his introduction, someone came to invite him. said that Lord Shen Yourong asked Shen Wansan and Ziren to go quickly, and they had important matters to discuss. The two did not dare to delay, and hurriedly dared to go.
