The cavalry division soldiers who arrived at Mawei in advance had a total of 2,000 men, but 3,000 horses were brought back. There were 5,000 horses here in Fuzhou, but less than 1,500 were kept for mobility, and on the whole, the horses were enough for the time being. In the Mawei Army, all the burdens were basically replaced by carriages, and all kinds of carriages were scattered throughout the military camps of the Mawei Army. Especially in the artillery division, each cannon is equipped with a special gun carriage, which needs to be pulled by war horses. The first artillery division alone occupied 2,000 war horses to pull the gun carriages and various ammunition, while the other Marine infantry divisions also had a total of 2,000 war horses.

"See the Grand Governor, his subordinates led the first and second vanguard battalions of the cavalry division to report! Please instruct! Bai Xianzhong saluted a standard military salute and said to Geng Jingzhong, who was standing at the door of the barracks.

Geng Jingzhong looked at the soldiers of the two thousand cavalry divisions behind him, and also returned a military salute, and then said with a smile on his face: "Okay! General Bai worked hard, and he trained an elite cavalry in a year, which is indispensable! I really can't wait to see the table of the cavalry division soldiers. But the soldiers have been drifting at sea for more than half a month, so let's go to the barracks to rest first, you are not a navy after all, first give me enough spirit, and I will send you to great use when I turn back! ”

"Thank you for your understanding! To tell the truth, more than half of the brothers in the back are still dizzy, the difference between the sea and the land is so great that the brothers have not been able to eat for many days, and many of them have fallen ill during this period. Bai Xianzhong scratched his head and said.

"I have expected this, so let the brothers go to rest. If you lack something, go to the quartermaster and ask for it. You can get all the supplies first. Quartermaster out or in the old place, you are very familiar with it! Geng Jingzhong looked at the straight soldiers standing behind, most of them had tiredness on their faces, it was obvious that this was caused by not eating and sleeping well for a long time, although the current sea ship looks not small, but it is not as long as the sea ship of more than 100 meters long and more than 100,000 tons in later generations, and it is still very challenging to ride.

After leading the soldiers of the 2,000 cavalry division into the barracks to rest, Bai Xianzhong came to Geng Jingzhong again. It's just that this time the place has been changed from the camp gate to the office hall. Other soldiers can rest, and he must also report to Geng Jingzhong about the situation of their cavalry division, which is specific to the scale and combat effectiveness. What Geng Jingzhong knew in the past was only a report on paper, and there was no way to know the details, and it was far from being straightforward and clear to Bai Xianzhong, the commander of the cavalry division, who said it himself.

"Sit down, this is home, General Bai has been homesick all year long in Luzon!" Geng Jingzhong asked with a smile.

"Yes, the Grand Governor, he later followed the Kunpeng fleet to Luzon, but the dog is still studying in the future school, and his subordinates do miss it a little. But. The Grand Governor once said that when did he train an elite cavalry comparable to the Guanning Iron Cavalry. When can I come back, so my subordinates pay close attention to training every day, and this year the cavalry division has made rapid progress, but my subordinates still feel that they are not in the heat yet, but most of the governors recruit each other, and their subordinates can only take them back first! Although Bai Xianzhong sat down, he still straightened his upper body and replied with a slight smile.

Geng Jingzhong nodded: "Well, it's really hard for you!" It's not easy to go overseas, so tell me about this year's training! ”

"Yes!" Bai Xianzhong stood up and replied. "Back to the Metropolitan Governor, in the past year, all the soldiers have trained very hard, and the 10,000 people recruited in advance have left ninety percent of the new army, and only less than 100 people have left because they can't stand the hardships of training. After two months of basic military training and theoretical study, the soldiers also met the basic requirements of our Mawei Army. And the equestrian training that began at the beginning of March continued until the Dadu Governor recruited him, not to mention anything else, in terms of one-wheeled riding, our brothers can be said to be completely inferior to any of Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry. ”

"Hehe, most of those recruits have never touched a horse, so it's not embarrassing for them to let them start learning to ride a horse directly!" Geng Jingzhong suddenly thought of one, so he asked with a smile. He had suffered a lot when he first learned to ride a horse, and he had not even fallen off his horse once or twice.

"Yes, Grand Duke. At the beginning, it was true that the instructors who passed from here were tired enough, which was more than ten times more tiring than taking new recruits for military training. There was no way, the instructors could only demonstrate and explain step by step, and they only taught for seven days after the initial getting on and off the horse. Seven days, all of which are spent practicing how to get on and off the horse! Then the instructors taught them how to ride on horseback steadily, and each instructor taught ten recruits, and they had to take care of the early steps, so the recruits were slow to learn. Bai Xianzhong said seriously.

"You know that if a rider is not in the right position on horseback, it will have a considerable impact on his horsemanship. The correct posture is to sit on the lowest part of the saddle with two sitting bones and a slit, the upper body must remain upright, the head must remain straight and look straight ahead, and the weight of the body must fall evenly on the two sitting bones. When riding on a horse, the body should be relaxed and not nervous when keeping upright, the thighs and knees are naturally relaxed and attached to the saddle, and the soles of the feet are on the stirrup iron pedals, so that the maximum pressure can be used to keep the stirrups, in the appropriate position, the soles of the feet should always be kept horizontal, the ankles are slightly bent, the heels are slightly below the toes, and from the side, the ears, shoulders, hips, and heels are in a straight line and perpendicular to the ground.

The arms should also hang naturally from the shoulders to the elbows, and from the side, from the rider's elbows forward through the reins to the horse's mouth, in a straight line. The movements of the hands should be done as much as possible through the movement of the shoulder and elbow joints, and the wrist joints should remain flexible but not bent. When the rider rides, the height of the hands changes with the upward and downward movement of the horse's head, so as to maintain the straight line formed by "elbow, one hand, one mouth". These key points were summarized in detail by the instructors during the exchange, and they were all memorized by the soldiers. Under such strict requirements, after the standards and specifications were set, the soldiers learned a lot faster. In the later period, the daily training continued, and the warriors' riding skills increased day by day, and now they are no different from those Mongols on the steppe! ”

"Very good, no hard work, no gain, this year's hard work is finally exchanged for harvest, this is the most important thing. This time, recruit your 6,000 cavalry division soldiers back, that is, to prepare to attack the north, at least in Jiangxi, the cavalry will play a great role. You've been training for a whole year, so you shouldn't have fallen behind in stabbing and shooting, right? Geng Jingzhong first praised it, and then asked as soon as he spoke.

"Rest assured, the warriors are not on horseback all day long, and no one can stand it. For the training of muskets, the soldiers have not stopped, although the new muskets are not as smooth as the old soldiers of the Mawei Army, but the speed is not slow, four rounds per minute can be reached, and the hit rate is not bad. Bai Xianzhong was obviously more confident in his soldiers, and replied with a smile on his face.

Geng Jingzhong listened, and then took out a short musket from the drawer next to him and said, "That's fine, these treasures of mine can also come in handy!" Look at this, this is a handcuff developed and put into production by the scientific research base a few months ago, although the power is not as strong as a spear, but the range is also a hundred steps, which is not inferior to the range of a bow and arrow. ”

The style of this handcuff looks very ancient, but it is also relative to Geng Jingzhong, because the style of this handcuff is no different from the Russian handcuff seen in the later TV series "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and the length is less than a foot, which is much smaller than the four-foot-long new flintlock musket! Although similar in style to the Russian musket, the power and range have been greatly improved, and at a distance of no more than 80 meters, this handcuff can beat the bow and arrow. Bullets are already much faster than bows and arrows, and with pre-loaded ammunition, they can shoot much faster than with bows and arrows.

"I have equipped each warrior with three of these muskets, and with ammunition in advance, the two cavalry armies should have a great advantage against each other. When the two armies meet each other in close combat, they still have to test their stabbing skills. As for loading ammunition on horseback, it depends on the constant training of the fighters. Thankfully, it's all packed ammunition now, and it's not too difficult to reload while riding a horse, but you still need to practice, and I guess it will take a lot of time. Geng Jingzhong rubbed the handcuff in his hand and said.

"Ah, that's great, in this case, the combat effectiveness of our cavalry division will be greatly improved. Originally, the subordinates thought that if we encountered the enemy cavalry, we would first dismount and line up with a musket formation to deal with them, and then get on the horse and pursue after the enemy cavalry was defeated. Well, now that you have this handcuff, you can give them three shots when you play against them, and the time for three shots will be almost decided! What's more, we can still reload ammunition and impact at the same time after training! Bai Xianzhong looked at the handcuff in Geng Jingzhong's hand and said with joy.

Geng Jingzhong saw his stunned look, so he threw the handcuff to him, and Bai Xianzhong hurriedly caught it with both hands. After catching it, I couldn't put it down and looked up and down and rubbed it, as if this was the body of a peerless beauty, and I couldn't touch it enough.

"Okay, you've been tired for more than half a month, it's hard to take a boat at sea, you better go back and rest, two days later, the soldiers are rested, I will check your training results this year, these two days, you can go back to your house to reunite!" Geng Jingzhong said that he had already walked to Bai Xianzhong's side, patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Thank you, Governor!" (To be continued......)
