Chapter 54 Firearms Training
After coming out of Shen Xiaoshan's house, Feng Jian came to the Military Research Institute again to find Zhang Dalai.
Feng Jian took out the darts he was carrying and said, "Lao Zhang, look at how many of these darts can be made in one go?" ”
Zhang Dalai had seen the power of Feng Jian's darts in the Shuangfeng Canyon, and that time more than 400 of them, old and young, followed Hu Dadao to Huluyan, and when they reached the Shuangfeng Canyon, they were attacked by the Mocone Mountain bandits.
At the critical moment, it was Feng Jian who shot and injured the Great Commander of Mo Cone Mountain, Mo Cone Tiger, with a dart, and more than 400 old and young people were able to escape.
Zhang Dalai made a slight estimate and said: "Commander, this dart is not complicated from making and polishing to adding feathers after the tail, and his subordinates estimate that there is no problem in making at least 100 darts." ”
"Well, let's make five hundred of them first, and this commander will use them soon."
"Subordinates obey."
"After the darts are made, the commander will send someone to receive them, so I won't bother you."
After Feng Jian finished speaking, he didn't linger any longer, turned around and walked towards the training ground of the Zhenshan Camp, the morning formation drill of the Zhenshan Camp should be over.
Feng Jian was busy all morning, his dry mouth and stomach were growling, and he felt that he should choose a few personal guards to accompany him, such as running the military research institute to make darts, and going to the Zhenshan camp to convey orders and other errands that could be done by the personal guards.
Shen Xiaoshan is a good young man, and if he doesn't accept it at night, he can be transferred to his side to cultivate and use it. The other guards are to be determined, and they are generally selected from the soldiers who do not accept them at night.
When Huluyan established the headquarters, he promised all the small flag officers to automatically become the staff officers of the headquarters, and later Ma Shan, the small flag officer of his own post, was elected to the Zhenshan camp, and Ma Shan is now the second post of Huang Fuchun of the Zhenshan camp.
Now there are seven remaining small flag officers in the headquarters, and Feng Jian appointed these people as staff officers of the headquarters at that time was only an expedient measure, but now the Huluyan headquarters is just a name, and most of the actual responsibilities and powers are transferred to the Zhenshan battalion.
The remaining seven staff officers had to stay at the headquarters and do nothing because they could not meet the selection criteria of the Zhenshan Battalion, and the seven of them were all ordinary villagers, and they could not read a single big character, so that the seven people had nothing to do in the name of staff officers, which was obviously not in line with Feng Jian's intentions.
These people turned out to be small flag officers in their respective outposts, and among the seven people, Feng Jian had a good impression of Qin Huaibao and Pan Zhaoying.
Qin Huaibao is a good hand at farming, it stands to reason that such a person should go to the mutual aid association to serve, Feng Jian also asked Qin Huaibao if he was willing to serve in the mutual aid association, Qin Huaibao coveted the name of the staff officer of the Huluyan Command, and has been hesitant.
Pan Zhaoying's surname is relatively smooth, long-sleeved and good at dancing and good at handling interpersonal relationships, Feng Jian feels that Pan Zhaoying's surname is suitable for business, and Huluyan business can be handed over to him in the future.
Feng Jian thought about how to arrange these seven people at this stage, he couldn't let these people stay in the council hall all day and have nothing to do!
Thinking all the way to the training ground of the Zhenshan Camp, as soon as he entered the training ground, he found that the bird soldiers were practicing shooting under the guidance of Sun Fang.
According to the training plan, after the formation training in the morning, the three major arms of the Zhenshan Battalion will train separately, and Sun Fang was pulled by Feng Jian to serve as the training officer of the Bird Gun because he could use the Bird Gun.
There are currently three firearms seized from the Shijia in the Zhenshan Camp, one firearm and two bird guns.
The firearm required two people to work together to complete the shooting, and it was naturally given up by Feng Jian with great effort.
There are only two bird guns left, of course, it is far from meeting the needs of training, and there is no way for the bird guns to be explained by Sun Fang for the time being, and they take turns to take over the bird guns.
This situation is like learning to drive a motor vehicle in later generations, more than a dozen people are assigned to a coach, each person can only take turns to drive for a few minutes when learning to drive, and when the coach is in a bad mood, even driving for a few minutes has become a luxury!
The serious shortage of weapons and equipment has become the biggest obstacle to the development of the Zhenshan Battalion, but this kind of thing cannot be solved by talking, and it is useless to be in a hurry, so we have to find a way to solve it slowly step by step.
Zhang Dalai assured Feng Jian that as long as there was sufficient iron, the weapons research and development institute could ensure that the swords and guns of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and even the armor could be made, and even the bird guns could be imitated and tried, so the crux of the problem was whether the original materials were sufficient.
Feng Jian set that the conditions for the inspection would allow, and firearms would be used as the main combat weapons of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, so he formulated a standardized training method for the birds, which could greatly improve the speed of the formation of the firearms of the Bird Guns and accumulate experience for the construction of the firearms unit of the Zhenshan Battalion in the future.
At this stage, the Bird Gun soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion are mainly familiar with a set of standardized bird gun training methods.
This training method stipulates that the assessment standard of the bird gun hand is not how accurate it is, but the standard degree of movement and the speed of firing.
Feng Jian didn't expect that Sun Fang actually had a set of tricks for the bird soldiers, and in the past few days of training, the birds and soldiers were first ordered to memorize the firing formula, and then they were trained in accordance with the specifications.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the equipment of the bird guns was bird guns, which were very cumbersome to fire, and the weapons of the bird guns in Feng Jian's mind were flintlock pistols rather than bird guns.
After all, flintlock pistols represent the direction of development of thermal weapons, and flintlock ignition devices are the first reliable and relatively inexpensive firearms ignition system.
It first appeared in the middle of the XVI century and remained popular until the middle of the XIX century, before it was replaced by the percussive thundercap bolt, and it should be said that the flintlock pistol laid the foundation of all modern firearms.
Feng Jian was a small peasant in later generations, not to mention making flintlock pistols in this era, he couldn't even say what the structure of flintlock pistols was, and Zhang Dalai of the Military Research Institute and other craftsmen of this era couldn't count on it, he didn't even know how to make a flintlock pistol, and how could he know how to make a flintlock pistol!
However, Feng Jian knew that there was a firearm master in the Ming Dynasty at this time, and he made the first flintlock pistol in Chinese history in July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, which was called a self-generated firearm at the time.
Feng Jian generally knew that the inventor of the self-generated fire gun was named Bi Maokang, who was a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and now it was the third year of Chongzhen, and Bi Maokang was currently the right servant of the household department in Nanjing, which means that it would take five years for the self-generated fire gun to be invented and manufactured by Bi Maokang.
Of course, if Feng Jian's butterfly flapped its wings, maybe the self-generated fire gun would have come out a few years earlier, although Feng Jian knew that this inventor would invent and manufacture the self-made fire gun, and he also knew where he was, but with the current identity of the bandit, let alone contact Bi Maokang, it is impossible to even meet him!
Therefore, Feng Jian temporarily calmed down this unattainable idea, what he needed most now was that the Bird Gun Soldiers of the Earthquake Mountain Battalion could be equipped with a Bird Gun for training.
At this time, the bird guns on the training ground of the Zhenshan Camp were taking turns shooting training, and in the queue, they listened to Sun Fang constantly reciting the trick of releasing guns:
A wash of guns
Two drugs
3. Send medicine
Four lead strokes
Five send lead
Six sheets
7. Paper feeding
Eight open the fire door
Nine medicine lines
Ten still open the fire door and press the fire rope
11. Listen to the order to open the fire door and shoot at the thief
The three soldiers holding the bird guns listened intently to the release of the gun step by step, and the rest of the bird gun soldiers followed Sun Fang and repeated the release of the gun sentence by sentence.
"According to the requirements of the commander's bird gun, the bird gun soldier does not require accurate fire, but requires the speed of shooting to form a greater density of shooting, so each bird gun soldier must be proficient in the bird gun firing steps, and the fire is required to be completed within 30 breaths, and now no one can meet the requirements ......"
Sun Fang repeated the trick of releasing the guns, and after the three soldiers who had finished raising the guns returned to the queue, they explained the specifications and requirements of the bird guns, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Feng Jian standing aside and carefully watching the training of the birds, and Sun Fang immediately stopped explaining and saluted.
Feng Jian waved his hand to stop him, and saw all the birds and soldiers brushing together, their right hands clenched into fists, flat on their chests, looking at themselves, and shouting in unison: "Commander!" ”
Feng Zhen's face was solemn, he took a step forward, and also clenched his right hand into a fist flat on his chest, looked at the soldier and said, "Brothers are all hard. ”
After the exchange of military salutes, Feng Jian turned his gaze to Sun Fang and said kindly: "Old Sun, I have disturbed your training, you may not know, the "Training Outline" of the Zhenshan Battalion stipulates that the training of soldiers cannot be artificially interrupted during training. No one can violate the military rules and discipline of the Zhenshan Battalion, of course, you are here to train the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion, and you cannot use the standards of the Zhenshan Battalion to demand it. ”
Sun Fang's face turned red and said: "Hey, the villain really doesn't know the military regulations of the Zhenshan Battalion, please forgive the commander, I don't know if the villain is qualified to be selected into the Zhenshan Battalion." ”
Feng Jian said in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter what this commander said, you have to pass the test standards of the Zhenshan Battalion, hehe, you also want to join the Zhenshan Battalion?" ”
Sun Fang bowed and said: "Seeing that although the brothers have practiced hard, but the changes are also huge, these villains have a feeling of panting when they stand in front of them, and they are very envious, so the villain and several family brothers want to join the Zhenshan camp." ”
Feng Jian smiled and said: "These few days are going to be a test for a few of you alone, with the conditions of a few of you, it shouldn't be difficult to be selected into the Zhenshan Camp!" ”
Sun Fang thanked him with surprise on his face, and Feng Jian interrupted him: "How is the training situation in the past few days?" ”
Sun Fang bowed down and said: "The brothers have recited and memorized the trick, and the rest is to do it according to the trick, but now the earthquake camp lacks bird guns, and it will take a long time for the brothers to master and raise the fire guns." ”
Feng Jian said: "Yes, the lack of weapons and blades is the biggest shortcoming of our Zhenshan Battalion, let's find a way slowly!" However, Zhang Da of the Military Research Institute said that they may be able to imitate the bird gun, and maybe you bird gun soldiers will use the bird gun soon. ”
As he spoke, he patted Sun Fang on the shoulder and said, "You also have a lot of credit, in just a few days, the brothers have memorized the trick of releasing guns." ”
Although Sun Fang's surname is slippery, but he knows the current affairs, Feng Jian's statement in front of the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion made Sun Fang's heart warm, and the previous worry suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly bowed down and said: "It's all the result of the commander's teaching, the hard training of the brothers of the Zhenshan Battalion, the villain doesn't dare to take credit!" The villain, like the brothers in the Earthquake Mountain Camp, has been looking forward to being able to equip everyone with a bird gun! ”
Although Feng Jian was anxious about the source of the firearms in the camp, he couldn't bring out his worries on the surface, and said with a smile: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so let's do basic training first and lay a good foundation." ”
"Obedience"
Sun Fang also learned from the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion to give a military salute to Feng Jian.
Feng Jian returned a military salute and turned to the training ground for pikemen and waist sword and shield soldiers on the other side of the square.
