Time flies, time is like an arrow, and in a blink of an eye, it has arrived in June of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

The Daming Administrative Academy and the Daming Military Academy have already been established and trained two batches of cadets. The first batch is the Jinshi of the third year of the Apocalypse, and the second group is the alternate officials or local officials who have heard that they have studied in the two academies and will have a relatively smooth career.

Since the uprooting of the Donglin Party, the Ming Dynasty has been very short of officials from the central to the localities, and these students have been replenished to various departments very smoothly. Their political achievements, whether it is the reflection of the officials or the report of the inspection of the imperial history, are very good.

At present, the two institutes are training the third batch of trainees, who are the civil and military jinshi of the fifth year of the Apocalypse. It stands to reason that the Apocalypse has only conducted the conference examination and the palace examination once in three years, and it will take another three years before the conference examination and the palace examination can be held again. However, all officials said that the third year of the Apocalypse was a special circumstance, and they could not make mistakes again and again, and postpone the scientific examination of the fifth year of the Apocalypse. Seeing that this matter was harmless, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not resolutely oppose it.

The training of the recruits has been going on for almost two years and is basically taking shape.

After the recruitment of soldiers was over, Zhu Youcheng felt that time was running out and intensified his training. All the soldiers, whether they were recruits or veterans, felt very struggling, and some naughty soldiers gave Zhu Youcheng the nickname "Devil General". But they don't know that the devil is yet to come.

Once, Zhu Youcheng asked all the soldiers to line up. Suddenly, a group of rampaging cavalry came from the opposite side and rushed straight towards the queue. All they rode were tall horses, and they didn't seem to stop at all. With this posture, don't say being trampled by a horse. Even if you are bumped into it and don't recuperate for ten days and half a month, you don't want to stand up.

The soldiers were terrified. Their eyes all looked at the supreme commander of this unit, Zhu Youcheng.

A year has passed, Zhu Youcheng has already passed the period of voice change safely, his voice has changed from a sharp and high-pitched childhood to a deep and low voice, and according to Ke Qingqing, his voice is still a little magnetic, very charming. Zhu Youcheng raised the tin horn and gave an order loudly: "The whole army is standing in place!" ”

Everyone was stunned. Zhu Youcheng seems to be different from usual. He usually pays great attention to the safety of his soldiers, and the army of Xizhen Fusi has a unique medical care of thousands of households in the Ming Dynasty. There are more than 300 doctors and more than 700 nurses. Not to mention minor injuries and illnesses, even if it is a serious illness, it is a good package. Thus. How much Zhu Youcheng attaches importance to the lives of soldiers. But now he is letting the soldiers use their flesh and blood to block the iron hooves of the cavalry, what is going on?

Half of the soldiers did not want to die for a madman and fled on their own. The rest of the soldiers saw Zhu Youcheng standing at the forefront of the team as steadily as Mount Tai, and a tragic feeling surged in their hearts, and they stood still in place.

The cavalry rushed to the position ten steps in front of Zhu Youcheng before reining in the horse's head, dismounted and saluted Zhu Youcheng, got on the horse, and returned the same way.

Originally. This group of cavalry was also from Xizhen Fusi, and Zhu Youcheng specially used this method to train the soldiers to have the courage to face the onslaught of cavalry.

Needless to say, those soldiers who left the ranks without permission were punished severely. And in the face of cavalry onslaught. Although the face is like the earth, the soldiers who do not leave or run away either receive spiritual encouragement, or get financial benefits, or get promotions, and each has its own happiness.

Such training was often produced for some time after this, and almost all the soldiers of the West Town Fuji. Both infantry and cavalry have experienced standing in place several times. In the face of the full charge of the cavalry, the training that does not dodge or dodge. Although they knew that the cavalry had been trained and the probability of stepping on them was very small, some soldiers couldn't overcome their inner fear and couldn't help but want to escape.

Zhu Youcheng's punishment became heavier and heavier each time, and in the end, the soldiers who escaped five times received their ultimate punishment - dismissal from Jinyiwei. They knelt on the ground and begged Zhu Youcheng to take back their lives.

Wu Huping also persuaded: "Lord Zhu, these Jinyi guards are all veterans who have been tempered for thousands of years, and some of them are even the old foundations of the hundred households. Expelling them like this, not only did Xizhen Fuji lose a lot of combat power, but it also seemed a little unfair to them. ”

"Huping, you've been with me for several years, do you think I'm not a person who doesn't miss my old love? This time, they were fired, firstly, it was good for Xizhen Fusi, and secondly, it was good for them. Do you know what the result of our Ming founding army against the Mongolian Tartars? It was to defeat and annihilate tens of thousands of Tartars at a very low cost. Why is that? It is because there are many such people among the Mongol Tatars, one person fled to ten, and ten people fled to a hundred, thus leading to the rout of the whole army. Moreover, there is a law on the battlefield that the brave live, and the cowardly die. You think, on the battlefield, flesh and blood are flying, and the soldiers on both sides meet each other. One side is thinking about how to kill the other and the other is thinking about how to escape, who do you think will live and who will die? ”

Wu Huping was speechless, turned around and went out, repeating Zhu Youcheng's words to the soldiers who pleaded.

The soldiers who pleaded for mercy suddenly felt greatly insulted, and they asked Zhu Youcheng to give them another chance.

Zhu Youcheng really regretted their skills, and when he heard the words, he called the commander of the cavalry to retest this group of timid soldiers. The test was quite brutal, and the cavalry charged towards them in dense formations, not to mention the tested people who were facing the cavalry, even the onlookers felt terrified when they heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves and felt the tremor of the ground.

What made Zhu Youcheng happy was that none of the soldiers who were swept down in this test flinched. After a few days, I tested again, and all of them were still qualified. So, Zhu Youcheng left all these soldiers behind.

What gave all the soldiers of Xizhen Fusi a headache was that Zhu Youcheng's madness obviously had no end.

Soon the soldiers received an order to dig trenches on the training ground. Then they would stand in front of the trench and face the cavalry charge. However, this time the cavalry charge will not stop, but will go all the way. Twenty paces before the trench, Zhu Youcheng ordered someone to draw a white coin with lime, and only when the front hooves of the cavalry stepped on the white line, they could hide in the trench.

The training seemed simple - because the soldiers were allowed to dodge, but the danger factor and thrill were far from the training. First. Twenty paces is too close for a cavalry, and a charge can reach the side. Secondly. The horses swept over their heads, and even hiding in the trenches was terrifying.

However, Zhu Youcheng thought very clearly, the distance of twenty steps was enough for the soldiers to hide in the trench smoothly, and besides, horses were very clever animals, and they would not be stupid enough to jump into the pit. Therefore, it is very safe in the trenches. In World War II, trenches were widely used on battlefields in various countries. It can be seen that trenches are very useful in modern warfare. Zhu Youcheng felt that he was equipped with a rear-loading rifled firearm and should also enter modern warfare. So in future wars, Zhu Youcheng may use a large number of trenches. Now let them train in the trenches, and it is precisely to prepare for the war in the future.

However, the effect of this training is not ideal. Many soldiers entered the trenches in advance. Zhu Youcheng is not in a hurry, anyway, there is time, practice slowly. Finally, at the cost of a few lives, the warriors all met the requirements.

Of these hits, two were infantry and one was cavalry. The legs of the two infantrymen were weakened, and the horses rushed over, but they did not have time to jump into the trench, and as a result, they were trampled to death by the horses. The death was horrific. The horseman, on the other hand, was a little unlucky, and the horse he rode did not dare to leap over the trench, and stopped the charge alive. The cavalry was caught off guard. Thrown off the horse, his neck was broken, and he died on the spot.

Because they were sacrificed during training, Zhu Youcheng designated them as martyrs, and then took the bronze name tags from their necks and enshrined them in the Daming Warrior Temple. And according to the standards of the West Town Fusi, the families of the three martyrs were given pensions.

The soldiers of the West Town Fuji were able to enter the temple and enjoy the incense of all the people after seeing the soldiers sacrificed. And the pension can also make the family worry about food and clothing, they are all excited, feel that their hard work is worth it, and train harder.

All the soldiers have made great progress in Zhu Youcheng's devilish training, and it can be said that against the cavalry of Shangjiannu now, Xizhen Fusi may suffer heavy casualties, but the balance of victory must be on the side of Xizhen Fusi. However, Zhu Youcheng is still very dissatisfied, because these soldiers have strong melee ability, but the long-range output ability is completely insufficient.

At present, in the entire Xizhen Fusi, except for the two thousand households led by Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi, which are all-firearm troops, the other troops are only equipped with less than half of the number of long-range weapons. Seeing the terrifying combat power of Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi's two troops, all the thousands of households strongly requested to be equipped with firearms, even if they could not be all matched, they could be equipped with one hundred households first.

Zhu Youcheng also has a hard time. It's not that he prefers Wu Huping and Chen Guoqi, these 30,000 people are his treasures, the main force to pacify the border in the future. He had long wanted to equip all 30,000 people with rear-loading rifling firearms, but the output of firecrackers had not been able to rise.

Li Datie led more than 40 blacksmiths to make firecrackers in the first year of the Apocalypse, and it has been five years now, and a total of 6,492 firecrackers have been made. There is no way, the fire gun is not cast, but the solid gun pipe is first punched out with a wrought iron hammer, and then the hollow gun pipe is drilled out with a drill bit. The most difficult of these steps is drilling, and a skilled blacksmith can only drill one pipe a month. Later, Zhu Youcheng and Li Datie studied drilling machine tools together, and the drilling degree improved, but they could only drill two or three pipes a month.

Zhu Youcheng had no choice but to meet the minimum requirements of the 1,000 households, and each 1,000 households was equipped with a full firearm for 100 households, and the rest were all equipped with crossbows -- that is, crossbows wound with their feet, and the effective range of this kind of crossbow could reach 300 paces.

Zhu Youcheng didn't want to equip the soldiers with bows and arrows, because no matter how the soldiers were trained, they were not as good as the Jiannu who grew up on horseback. The winding and shooting of the crossbow are separated, which is relatively easy to master, and in a few years, it is completely possible to train a hundred crossbowmen.

At present, Zhu Youcheng's 30,000 soldiers are equipped as follows: a musketeer, a rifled back-loading gun, a diagonal bullet bag, the bullet bag is divided into 200 compartments, containing 200 bullets, and a melee weapon, a spear. Zhu Youcheng also thought about saving the soldier's body and loading a knife on the fire. It's a pity that the gun tube of the fire gun is too thick, the whole fire gun is too heavy, and the weight is uneven and the wielding is not flexible. The other infantry were armed with two soldiers with a crossbow, each with forty arrows and a spear. Cavalry is also divided into firearms cavalry and non-firearms cavalry. The musket cavalry were not equipped with spears, as the tactics of these cavalry were to learn from the Mongol "mangus", that is, to deliver sustained long-range strikes to the enemy, rather than engaging them in close combat. Non-firearm cavalry, armed with a hand crossbow with a range of 100 paces, 4o crossbow arrows, and a saber.

It is clear that the attack power and endurance of the other soldiers are weaker than those of the firecrackers, and the reason for this is that the production of firecrackers is too low. (To be continued)
