Seeing that the 206th Squadron had begun to carry out live-fire training in an orderly manner, the captain of the Marine Corps, Seropen, instructed the squadron leader Zamin a few words, and then rode to the 207th Squadron stationed in Xiyuzhuang.

At present, there are only two Marine Corps units in the entire Naval Academy, two squadrons of 206 and 207, and a full-strength Marine Corps has an establishment of 550 men, with 350 guns and 16 marine guns, five six-pounder guns, five nine-pounder guns, and six 12-pounder guns, three of which are mountain howitzers.

It was not luck that Ceropen was able to win the position of captain of the Marine Corps, it was completely based on his scheming and down-to-earth performance. The party and the people of the Eighth Master Party came into contact, although the Fourteenth Master was still a member of the Eighth Master Party at that time, he realized at that time that the Fourteenth Master could stand on his own.

The Fourteenth Master has both money and the support of Kangxi, and he also has the heart to compete for the reserve, there is no reason not to set up his own door, how can he contribute money and efforts to cultivate power for the prince and the eighth master?

Sure enough, in less than a year, the Fourteenth Master began to clean up and rectify the navy, and set up his own party. Although the people of the Party and the Eight Masters Party have not been cleared out of the navy, they have basically stood aside, and at most they are a detachment leader, and those who are as neutral as him and take the lead in joining the 14th Party are now all squadron leaders.

In the end, Seropen was able to grab the position of the captain of the Marine Corps, one is to get close to the captain Wu Ge, and the other is to rely entirely on his own ability, the entire Naval Academy, if you want to say that he is familiar with the performance of various artillery, he can firmly rank in the top three.

Although he is only in charge of two squadrons, he is already very content, and the Marine Corps is exactly what he is looking forward to, he always believes that for the Qing Dynasty, the land battle is the most important, and now the two squadrons in his hands are full of 1,100 people, even if they are facing tens of thousands of steps. soldiers, he also has absolute confidence to defeat, or slaughter is more suitable, even in the face of three times his cavalry he is not afraid at all, the naval artillery is too strong.

For the assassination of Kangxi, Ceropen was not sure, he only vaguely felt that this Tianjin military exercise was a rare opportunity, his artillery range can reach 1,500 yards, and the 12-pounder cannon can reach more than 2,000 yards Two squadrons of six heavy guns, all with flowering shells, can cause extremely terrifying killing effects in an instant, and the flowering shells of the twelve-pound cannon, within the range of 30 yards, basically have no chance of survival.

If he has the opportunity, he doesn't mind Bo, in case of success, it is logical for the crown prince to ascend the throne, and with his credit, it is not too much to get an iron hat prince. Although the navy has a future, if you want to seal the prince, it is impossible at all, if you can seal a shell, you will burn high incense, wealth is bo, and you can't let go of the opportunity.

Therefore, as soon as he received the order to strengthen live-fire training, Seroben found an opportunity to send a letter to his younger brother in Beijing, asking him to contact Prince Yin, Yin had already had the intention of rebelling and usurping the throne, he was clear, but he didn't know whether Yin still had freedom of movement now, if he had been under house arrest and couldn't even pass on the news, then he could only die in the navy and slowly survive.

If Yin has not been placed under house arrest, then, according to the usual practice Kangxi came to Tianjin, he must bring the prince, the eighth master and other princes who have the heart to compete for the crown prince, if so, the opportunity is too great, once Kangxi is dead, the princes will not be any better, the fourteenth master is the first to bear the brunt, everyone will think that he intends to usurp the throne and rebel, Yin already has the identity of the crown prince, plus his own support, ascend to the heights, and the overall situation is determined.

Take 10,000 steps back, if there is no chance, he will not lose the slightest, the worst may be to make a move, Kangxi is not dead, however, he thinks that this possibility is too small, with his artillery level, if he personally commands, six twelve-pounder guns will be bombarded in a few rounds, which is enough to make no grass within 200 yards.

Seroben rushed to the stationing place of the 207th Squadron in Xiyuzhuang, only to find that Yinzhen was actually here, holding a telescope to watch the results of the shelling. He hurriedly dismounted and trotted forward, stood up and saluted: "Captain of the Marine Brigade of the Naval Academy, Seropon, welcomes the dean to come and inspect. ”

"Yes." Yinzhen replied lightly, put down the binoculars and turned around: "Come here, the 206th Squadron has already started live-fire training?" "...," reports the dean, ongoing. ”

"The military exercise is approaching, and we must seize the time to urge the troops to conduct live-fire training." Yinzhen nodded and said: "This military exercise is not only a performance, but also a confrontation, the Beijing Eight Banners Firearms Battalion and the Spanish Musket Phalanx will compete with us, but we are not allowed to lose face to the Navy." ”

"The dean can rest assured that the bid is guaranteed to win cleanly." Sero Ben replied solemnly, but he was shocked in his heart, and the Eight Banners Firearms Battalion and the Spanish Firearms Swallowing Array confrontation exercise? That's too much variable.

For this Ceropon, Yinzhen was not familiar with it before, since Dolgon's death was liquidated, Dolbo was deprived of the prince's title, he is obscure, and he also follows the rules on weekdays, for Ceropon, Yinzhen has no impression of the capital at all, but in the navy, he has a good impression of this person.

Although he doesn't talk much, he gets along very well with the Manchu and Han students, and he trains very weekdays, especially keen on artillery, and has a lot of strength, and is familiar with the changes in the artillery's firing angle, range, charge, shells, rifling and other related parameters, not only Wu Ge mentioned it many times in front of him, even Dai Zi once mentioned him.

Yes, when Wu Ge proposed that Seropen be the captain of the Marine Corps, Yinzhen didn't think much about it, and nodded happily in agreement, and he was also full of expectations for Seropon, artillery is the future king of land warfare, from Shanghai to Tianjin, all the way to sail, Yinzhen also mentioned his use of artillery many times.

At this time, seeing that Seropen was full of confidence, Yinzhen nodded slightly, and said: "The navy Penghu is victorious, the marines have not caught up, this military exercise, the emperor will come to watch it in person, it is a rare opportunity to show his face, and the reward of the marines depends on your performance this time." ”

"Dean Xie, please rest assured, the mark guarantees that it will not discredit the navy." Cerro replied loudly.

When the number of troops was seriously insufficient, he still transferred 500 cadets from the first class to form the Marine Corps, in order to explore ways to improve the establishment of the army, and the reason why he was biased towards artillery was because the advantages of artillery were too obvious, and the future land warfare must also give full play to the advantages of artillery.

In this military exercise, with the performance of the Marine Corps, Yinzhen believes that Kangxi can be completely impressed.
