This is a typical three-stage shoot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The so-called three-stage shooting method is to divide the team members into 3 groups, start the first group to stand in front of the shooting, and then step back and fill the medicine; The 2nd group stepped forward and shot, and finished retreating and filling the medicine; The 3rd group stepped forward and shot, and when they were done, they stepped back and filled their medicines. When the 3rd group is finished, the gunpowder of the 1st group is generally ready, so you can go forward and shoot again.
In this way, continuous fire was formed, and before there were no automatic weapons, using muskets with relatively low firing efficiency, three-stage shooting was naturally the best and most advanced way of firing.
After a burst of gunfire, the first squad finished firing and then retreated, the second squad fired forward and then retreated, then the third squad stepped forward to shoot and then retreated, and the first squad had finished charging and fired forward.
The second lieutenant platoon commander in charge of the training couldn't help but nod his head with satisfaction when he saw that everyone's movements were more proficient than yesterday, and the speed was a little faster.
"Stop shooting, everyone go and see how well they shoot."
With that, the second lieutenant put the command knife back into its sheath and led everyone forward, to the large scarecrow, to check the effect of the shot.
The soldiers who shot just now also came over with muskets on their backs, and when everyone saw the situation of these scarecrows, many people looked incredulous.
"My good boy, these scarecrows are beaten to pieces."
"If this hits people, it will definitely be dead."
"Look at this, the bullet went through the scarecrow in front and punched the scarecrow in the back."
āā¦ā¦ā
Everyone was very surprised by the power of the musket, especially the three-stage shooting method, which was both shocked and admired.
"This three-stage shooting method is very good, and whoever came up with it is simply a genius."
"I heard that the chief soldier came up with it."
"Ahh It was the chief soldier who came up with it, and it's amazing. ā
"Not only was the three-stage shooting method come up with by the Chief Soldier, but our muskets, our military uniforms, and the command knife in the hands of Platoon Commander Wang were all designed by the Chief Soldier."
Someone broke the news, and after everyone knew that these were all designed by Zhang Feng, many people had subtle changes in their hearts, and Zhang Feng's image gradually grew up in everyone's hearts.
The three-stage shooting method was completely groundbreaking, and with this method of shooting, the musket came into play, especially in the era of cold weapons, and was completely leading.
Originally, Zhang Feng was going to come to see everyone's shooting training today, but as soon as he went out, he met a tolerance man at his doorstep.
Obviously, this man came to Zhang Feng on purpose, and when he saw Zhang Feng, he immediately chased after him, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, the prefect is invited." ā
Zhang Feng is the chief soldier of the regimental training of Songjiang Mansion, and the people who respect Zhang Feng politely shout "General Soldier Zhang", of course, more people still call Zhang Feng "Boss Zhang", after all, the general soldier of regimental training is not a real general soldier, nor does he have any rights, nor is he a formal official position, let alone a grade.
Zhang Feng stopped and said suspiciously: "The prefect is back?" ā
Tan Yixian, the prefect of Songjiang, went to Beijing to face the saint a few months ago, and he happened to come back a few days ago, before the prefect of Tan's mansion went to Beijing, he had never heard of Zhang Feng at all, and he had only been back for a few days, and Tan Yixian heard Zhang Feng and Zhang Feng's deeds the most.
As soon as he understood a little, Tan Yixian was so surprised that he didn't think that in just a few months after he left Songjiang Mansion, Zhang Feng made such a big move.
A few days ago, there was a large-scale recruitment, and a large military camp was established in Xiaoqingshan, which made Tan Yixian unable to sit still any longer.
When he was in the capital, Tan Yixian heard the most about the rebellion of the Liukou, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, etc., Tan Yixian thought in his heart, this Zhang Feng is recruiting soldiers and building a military camp, this is not trying to rebel.
With such concerns in his heart, Tan Yixian felt that he needed to summon Zhang Feng and give him a good beating, no, he sent a messenger to the door early in the morning and called Zhang Feng over.
The prefect's office, the back hall.
This tolerance took Zhang Feng here, and this tolerance was quite polite, "Zhang Zongbing, you sit down first, and I will go and inform the Lord Fu." ā
Zhang Feng sat down, touched his chin, and thought in his heart, yes, the other party is the prefect, the fourth rank official, and he is a regimental training commander, so he can only wait patiently.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhang Feng heard a movement, and thought in his heart, it should be the prefect who came over, sure enough, just now the man accompanied a middle-aged man in an official uniform, who was middle-aged and thin, and his face was relatively white, but there were a few pockmarks the size of sesame seeds on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the prefect."
Zhang Feng got up and saluted: "Lord Tan, hello, I am Zhang Feng, the chief soldier of Songjiang Mansion. ā
Tan Yixian motioned for Zhang Feng to sit down, and then waved away the tolerance just now, Tan Yixian also sat down, took a sip of hot tea gently, and then said slowly: "Boss Zhang, if we remember correctly, you are still the owner of the Oriental Textile Factory and the owner of the Oriental Soap Factory." ā
Zhang Feng's long-term plan is to establish an "Oriental Group Company", and the factories that will be opened in the future will be crowned with the word "Oriental", such as "Oriental XX Factory".
The soap factory has just been listed, and many factories are still under construction, but the gate of the soap factory has been built, and it has been listed, and the soap factory is the "Oriental Soap Factory", and it is estimated that it will be officially put into operation in another month.
Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Master Tan, you really know me, that's right, I am the boss of these two factories." ā
Tan Yixian said: "Boss Zhang, although your movement is a little big, it is not illegal, so I don't want to ask about the textile factory and the soap factory, but there is one thing, taxes and fees must be paid on time and truthfully." ā
Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Definitely, it must be handed in on time and truthfully." ā
The taxes of the Ming Dynasty were not heavy, and the taxes and fees in commerce were even more pitiful, one-thirtieth of the taxes and fees, so that Zhang Feng almost woke up with a smile.
The two chatted for a few minutes, Tan Yixian asked Zhang Feng some inconsequential information, and then, Tan Yixian's words changed.
Tan Yixian said with a straight face: "Boss Zhang, thanks to the grace of the saint, I went to Beijing to face the saint, and the saint praised Songjiang Mansion very much, praising the people of Songjiang Mansion for living and working in peace and contentment, unlike other places where the people are not living well." ā
Zhang Feng didn't make a sound, and thought in his heart, what are you talking to me for.
Tan Yixian said that these things naturally had a purpose, and sure enough, he immediately said: "Boss Zhang, I don't know if you have heard that Zhang Xianzhong's troops have surrendered, and Li Zicheng's troops have been surrounded and suppressed by the official army, and they have suffered heavy losses, and there are only eighteen people left, and their current whereabouts are unknown." ā
Zhang Feng said suspiciously: "Master Tan, I have heard of these things, but I don't know, what are you telling me about these things?" ā
Zhang Feng did not hear of these things, Zhang Feng knew the general direction of history, Chongzhen eleventh year (1638): Zhang Xianzhong's department accepted the surrender of the Ming army, and Li Zicheng's department was surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army, with heavy losses, and only eighteen people remained. The power of the peasant army was low for a while. In the same year, the Qing army invaded the border.
The fourteenth year of Chongzhen (1641): In the first month, Li Zicheng reinvigorated, conquered Luoyang, and killed Zhu Changxun, the king of fortune.
The fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642): New Year, bow to the cabinet ministers, and then try to revitalize. In February, Li Zicheng's troops defeated the Ming army at Xiangcheng and killed Wang Qiaonian, the governor of Shaanxi. In March and April, Songshan and other cities were broken one after another, and Hong Chengchou was captured and surrendered. In May, Li Zicheng was Kaifeng. In July, the imperial concubine Tian died of illness.
March 19, 17th year of Chongzhen (April 25, 1644): Jingshi fell, and Chongzhen was martyred.
Zhang Feng knows the general trend of history, the current peasant uprising is only temporarily at a low ebb, now, Tan Yixian said this, Zhang Feng naturally will not refute, naturally it is even more impossible to tell Tan Yixian that the peasant uprising is only temporarily at a low ebb, and the demise of the Ming Dynasty is inevitable.
Zhang Feng just nodded slightly, listening to Tan Yixian continue.
Tan Yixian said: "Boss Zhang, I want to tell you that in the current situation, there is no future for rebellion, whoever wants to rebel will be strangled in the cradle, even Zhang Xianzhong's department has already surrendered, and Li Zicheng's department is even more annihilated, Boss Zhang, you don't think you are stronger than Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and others." ā
This is Tan Yixian's beating, and it is also a warning, Tan Yixian did this because he was worried that Zhang Feng had such a thought in his heart, and he wanted to snuff out Zhang Feng's thoughts.
Tan Yixian just went to Beijing to face the saint and was praised, Tan Yixian didn't want to see a rebellion under his rule, even if this kind of rebellion Tan Yixian asked himself if he had the ability to quickly exterminate it.
Zhang Feng immediately understood what Tan Yixian meant, Zhang Feng immediately smiled, and Zhang Feng said: "Lord Tan, you are serious, how can I rebel, I am just a regimental training commander." ā
Zhang Feng thought for a while and continued: "I still donate the general soldiers of this regiment training, and I will not allocate a single soldier from above, all the weapons and equipment, and all the food and salary I must raise by myself, which will cost a lot of money and require strong financial resources, and I will not be able to pull up a team of tens of thousands." ā
If you want to think about things, in the eyes of ordinary people, you don't have to think about it without a team of tens of thousands of people, Tan Yixian also thinks so.
Zhang Feng added: "Lord Tan, in the entire Songjiang Mansion, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, who will rebel?" ā
