Chapter Ninety-Six: Training

There was a commotion on the beach of Renjiawan, where the crew of the "Exocet" was training intensively. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ren Siqi stipulated that combat drills would be conducted in the morning, and in the afternoon, he would go to sea to train his ship skills. Considering that everyone is not a soldier, the intensity of training should not be too large, and it is stipulated that the training will be three days and one day off.

There were a lot of weapons on the ship, but they were very miscellaneous, most of them were knives, axes, harpoons and other weapons. There were fifteen or sixteen muskets, all of which were captured from the Dutch.

Fifteen musketeers stood in a line, trained in the skill of loading ammunition, led by the Dutchman Shabila.

The sixteen-year-old hairy boy was hurriedly reloading the gunpowder, and when the barrel of the gun tilted inattentionally, the gunpowder suddenly spilled on the ground.

"Are you stupid, why can't you do anything?" Shabila stood in front of him with a fierce look, lifted the bamboo pole in his hand and twitched it against his buttocks.

The hairy boy grinned in pain, tears rolling in his eyes.

Ren Siqi has given a strict order that you must listen to the instructor during training, and the instructor is everyone's teacher. So although he was beaten and scolded, the hairy boy didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction. He is the second eldest in the family, his eldest brother has just courted his wife, and the family owes a lot of debts, and he can no longer afford to give him a daughter-in-law. So when Ren Siqi recruited the crew, he begged to come to Ren Siqi. At first, Ren Siqi didn't plan to accept the hairy child, because he was too thin, but after all, he was the younger brother of the same clan, the hairy child's parents, and Ren Siqi's cousins and aunts all came to beg and begged, so he accepted the hairy child.

Not all fishermen are willing to let their men go to sea, after all, there are endless risks at sea, and how many good men get on the sea boat and never return! Therefore, there are hundreds of households in Renjiawan, and Ren Siqi recruited more than 20 crew members. However, Ren Siqi believes that as long as he goes to sea once, after seeing the huge profits of going to sea, the remaining fishermen who are unwilling to get on the boat will cry and shout in front of him.

Shabila's demands were strict, and fifteen musketeers had been standing on the beach and practicing reloading for an hour. According to Shabila, a musketeer is a good musketeer if he can fire at least one shot per minute. And now these rookies can't fire a shot in three minutes, so they have to train harder.

Of all the musketeers, Tony the Javanese was the most skilled in his movements. This surrendered Javanese has been fully integrated into the "Flying Fish", the people here do not discriminate against him, no one will beat and scold him unreasonably, and the food and clothing are much better than before. So Tony is having a great time, he has now learned a lot of Chinese sentences and can communicate with everyone simply.

Tony used to be a musketeer and was already very skilled in handling muskets, so Ren Siqi appointed him as the deputy captain of the musketeers, responsible for assisting Shabila in training musketeers.

Ren Baoquan trained repeatedly without saying a word, Ren Siqi briefly appointed him as the vice captain of the musket team before going to Yin County, but this time because he was really not proficient in the musket, he was far from being able to convince the public, Ren Siqi no longer showed favoritism, so he did not get the position of vice captain. Ren Baoquan was holding back his strength in his heart, he must train well, at least catch up with the Nanyang native.

Sergeant Shabila of the musket team is very rigorously trained, but the stormtroopers are not as good as they can be.

The stormtrooper appointed by Ren Siqi is Chen Sheng, and his deputy is Jin Yufei, but although Chen Sheng is very strong and martial arts, he has also dealt with the Spaniards and the natives of Luzon in the jungle of Luzon for more than a year, and has rich experience in fighting. But he didn't know how to train, he would only take the stormtroopers to slash and kill together, and he didn't know how to cooperate without formation, so Ren Siqi shook his head.

It would be nice if Mao Eighteen was here, Ren Siqi thought to himself, Mao Eighteen and several pirates under him cooperated very closely in battle, if Mao Eighteen was here, it should not be a problem to train a few people to cooperate in battle. There is no need to arrange formations in the ship's broadside battle, but the cooperation between each other is very important, Ren Siqi clearly remembers that Mao 18 and more people easily killed the enemy in the battle, and killed several pirates in a row, but he did not suffer any damage.

"Ren! They can't train like that. Dutchman Olier stood beside Ren Siqi at some point, watching the training of Chen Sheng and others on the beach.

"The battle of cold weapons needs to be coordinated, and it needs to be arrayed, instead of relying entirely on personal force like this, and training like this can only train a vulnerable rabble!" Oliel's words were harsh, but they were telling the truth.

"What does Mr. Olier suggest?" Ren Siqi turned around and looked at Olier's azure eyes.

"I recommend one person to you, Monroe, who can train you infantry." Olier made a solemn suggestion.

Ren Siqi was surprised: "Monroe, isn't he an artillery gunner, and he also knows how to train?" ”

Oliel shook his head: "No, Monroe is not just an artilleryman, he comes from a military family, he served in the Spanish army for five years and rose to the rank of second lieutenant, and only returned to the Netherlands after retiring from the army. Due to the lack of gunners on the Shark, he acted as a gunner. ”

"And such a thing!" Ren Siqi was very surprised, and immediately asked Anthony to call Monroe on the "Exocet".

"Mr. Shipmaster, I am leading people for training, I have to say that you Ming people are very smart, under my strict supervision, they have mastered the skills of artillery loading and firing." Monroe took a small boat from the "Flying Fish" to the coast, and did not forget to show his merits in front of Ren Siqi.

Ren Siqi smiled and praised: "Mr. Monroe, you are very capable!" ”

Ren Siqi's praise made Monroe's face smile brightly, and he immediately hit the snake with the stick: "Since I have done such a good job, can you increase my remuneration?" "Not as serious as Olier, Monroe and Shabila are two Dutchmen who are very funny and usually like to joke about this and that.

"I'll talk about the remuneration later," Ren Siqi waved his hand and said, "Mr. Monroe, I heard that you served in the Spanish Army before, is it true?" ”

"Of course it's true, Mr. Lord, you don't know, I have served in the army for five years, and when I retired, I became a captain."

"But how did I hear you're just a second lieutenant?"

"Who said it, it's full of nonsense, it's jealousy!" Monroe shouted in dissatisfaction: "It must be this bastard Shabila who is talking nonsense!" Poor Shabila innocently lay down with a gun.

Ren Siqi had to interrupt him: "Okay, Mr. Monroe, whether it's a captain or a second lieutenant, I want to know if you know about the training of soldiers?" ”

"Of course I understand, when I was in the Spanish Army, I was a captain of the infantry, and our pikes were invincible! Oh, Mr. Lord, do you want me to train you infantry? Monroe reflected, pointing to Chen Sheng and the others on the beach and asked.

"That's it, Mr. Monroe, do you have the confidence to train them into qualified soldiers?" Ren Siqi asked.

Monroe immediately patted his chest: "Wrap it up on me, but will the pay go up again?" ”
