Yang Meng allocated 200 revolvers to the superintendent is also a helpless move, from the second brother Yang Yi and Liu Cunren got the news, Lin Zexu has sent an order to Yongchang to arrest people, break the May Day, escort the prisoners to Kunming, this matter can no longer be changed.

But this thing is done, Yongchang will be chaotic, the Yang family just wants to solve this matter, and now they don't dare to start, although Lin Zexu is wasted, but he has not become stupid, in case the Yang family reluctantly makes a move, let Lin Zexu see that something is wrong, and then arouse his fighting spirit, then it will be the turn of the Yang family to be unlucky.

In line with the idea that friends of the dead Dao will not die and be poor, Yang Meng and his old man decided to sit and watch the matter of Yongchang, and now the Yang family avoids the gaze of the imperial court is the most important.

If Yongchang becomes chaotic, as many as 18,000 will die, and if the Yang family is against the imperial court, it will not be difficult to die 180,000, the lesser of two evils, this Yongchang matter can only be brought by Lin Zexu's temperament.

Yongchang is in chaos, it is time for the superintendent to contribute, and now these superintendents, for the last whistle drill, can definitely be beaten, but the number of casualties is not necessarily.

This time when he went to the West School Field, Yang Meng brought not only 200 revolvers, but also four 24-pounder mortars and 100 shells, which were to prevent Yongchang from training and barricade the river.

Yongchang this place, is also regarded as an important town in western Yunnan, Jinsha River is the natural barrier of Yongchang, when Huang Baba rebelled, the fire burned Ji Hongqiao to escape, Yongchang's sentry training, if you don't get it right, it will come again, as long as the bridge is removed, you want to fight with a sword, it is not easy.

And these 200 revolvers, Yang Meng was prepared for the commandos, otherwise he only relied on broadswords and spears. There will inevitably be many casualties in the attack on Yongchang. The overseer's men are not green battalion soldiers. If it was a green battalion soldier, Yang Meng could drive them to death. But when it was the turn of the Yang family's private army, Yang Meng didn't have that ruthlessness.

When I arrived at the West School Field, after more than ten days of rest, the spirit of the superintendent also went up a level, and the eyes of people were a bit like a vicious dog, but it was much worse than a vicious wolf, in Yang Meng's heart, a professional soldier was a weapon of killing. Their duty is to kill, and a wolf-like temperament is what a professional army needs.

And the superintendent is a professional army, if Yongchang has a mess, just exercise the murderous nature of this professional army.

Four mortar cannons, which have attracted most of the attention, the general cannon! This is a rare thing, Du Fuhu is like this, and he has only heard of it and has never seen a real general cannon.

"Next, select the troops. Four large general cannons, one cannon and fifty gunners. As long as the eyesight is good, the strength is great.

These 200 revolvers are also good objects, if you want to, you have to show your ability, Lao Tzu has a requirement here, and the strength is preferred! ”

After Yang Meng's words were finished, most people's eyes were focused on the four mortar guns, but the revolver on the table was ignored.

These people used to be either mountain people or ordinary people, and the standard for judging the power of things was the size of their bodies.

And the black scythe-like objects on the table are not a good thing at first glance, but they are still a big general's cannon.

And Yang Meng came this time mainly to choose gunners, gunners in western Yunnan have, it's really not good, just find a few suitable gunners, but this gunner wants to experiment.

"Du Fuhu, find a few cows and sheep to come over and eat stew at noon today."

In order to improve the food, the West School raised a batch of yaks and goats, and there was no way, in order to test the gun, they could only start with them.

Du Fuhu went to the kung fu of the cow and sheep, and Yang Meng loaded a revolver, the performance of this revolver is good, but it is very troublesome to load, it would be good if there were bullets!

But this Yang Meng can only think in his heart, bullets? The copper-shelled bullet with the lead head is good to say, the rifle bullet, there are many processes, a good rifle bullet, at least dozens of processes, Yang Meng's previous life, has never tried to produce rifle bullets, and the manufacturing threshold of bullets is much higher than that of firearms.

Du Fuhu brought two cows, more than a dozen sheep, just loaded two guns to test the power, the power of this Colt M1847, Yang Meng has not tried it on the body of a living animal, this time just try it.

After picking up two empty guns, familiarizing himself with the firing process, and feeling that he could shoot the bow left and right, Yang Meng asked Du Fuhu to scatter the cattle and sheep thirty meters away.

"It's all for Lao Tzu, the power of this thing is much stronger than a shotgun!"

Jumping off the platform, Yang Meng opened fire at a distance of more than 30 meters. With the sound of gunshots, the first to fall was the two yaks, followed by eight sheep, the fly in the ointment is that there are two shots missed, the recoil of the revolver is too large, left and right bows, Yang Meng, an expert in playing with guns, also lost his head.

"Go up to a few, put down the sheep that are scurrying around, and go over and see the ones that have been shot."

In order to kill the two yaks, Yang Meng also put a lot of effort, the lead bullet is too soft, he is afraid that he will not be able to hit the skull of the yak, Yang Meng's position is in the eyes of the two yaks, and the first two shots are the most accurate for the two yaks to hit.

And those sheep are also more miserable, thirty meters away, the power of lead bullets is not like words, which is rotten, more than 3,000 governors turned around and glanced at the ten beasts who fell to the ground, and the short spear on that table has become a treasure that everyone wants.

"Listen to me, one-handed dancing with big blades!"

Seeing the power of the revolver, the three thousand and eight governors were also red-eyed, but the wolves had more meat and less meat, and the short men kept coming out of the crowd.

Okay! There are really a lot of people who can play with knives with one hand, there are five or six hundred people, and this person does not have that condition yet, so Yang Meng has to raise the standard.

"The official is out!"

With Yang Meng's words, nearly 100 low-level officers retreated.

"Take out your big blades, practice the eight knives with one hand, and the two hundred that last the longest will stay."

More than 400 people set up a formation, pulled out large blades from behind, and stood in the school field one by one and began the drill.

With a cup of tea, more than 100 people withdrew, and about 200 remained. I danced for more than half an hour. Only then did the whole two hundred good players be selected.

"Good! You guys are good. From today to start practicing guns, shooting guns with the left hand, by the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, you must be able to hit the target within twenty steps, and if you can't hit, hand over the gun in your hand to Lao Tzu! ”

The right hand big knife and the left pistol, this is Yang Meng's method, hit with a gun at a long distance, and cut with a knife at close range. In hand-to-hand combat, it is the stage where the revolver shows its might.

If this method is easy to use, Yang Meng will promote it in the entire Yunnan New Army, one person has a revolver, one person has a big blade, not to mention anything else, first make the Yunnan army an invincible existence in close combat.

The supervision standard is a test site for Yang Meng, and the 8,000 new troops in Wei Huozi and the tens of thousands of recruits in western Yunnan all need to be reintegrated. The arrival of Li Xingyuan and Lin Zexu was delayed. The pace of reorganizing the new army in Yunnan, but Yang Meng also saw some benefits from it.

More than a year of full meals. and uninterrupted training, so that the physique of the new army is constantly recovering. I want to supervise these people who can dance more than eight pounds of blades with one hand, there would not have been so many people a year ago.

Just now, most of these people are recruits from western Yunnan, and although it has cost a lot of money for this period of delay, it has raised a group of soldiers with qualified physical fitness for the Yang family.

When the combination of swords and guns has been confirmed, it will be the time when the Yunnan New Army will truly become an army. Those who can fight will be infantry and cavalry, and those who can't be beaten will be artillery, and as soon as this comes and goes, the combat effectiveness of the new army in Yunnan will increase exponentially.

The rifle is also a melancholy in Yang Meng's heart, there is no fixed ammunition, even if he makes a rifle with a spiral rifling, the range and power are not necessarily much stronger than a flint gun like Brown Beth or the now popular firing pistol.

Rifling is undoubtedly a threshold for black powder and round lead bullets, and if you get rifling, it will greatly delay the speed of reloading, and if you don't get rifling, the effective range and accuracy of the musket will be affected, Yang Meng has secretly thought about it many times, he still thinks that the shooting speed is the most important, and the range of more than ten or twenty meters is nothing more than one or two shots on the battlefield, and with rifling, the speed of loading is much slower.

The two sides lined up to execute each other's executions, such a tactic, Yang Meng was still extremely disgusted, which was an insult to professional soldiers.

The formation of such a squad with a left gun and a right knife is also Yang Meng's exploration on the road of a professional soldier, and if there is an opportunity to put it into the battlefield, it will be the best way to test Yang Meng's vision of a professional soldier.

Training a qualified soldier, both now and in the future, is not a small cost, a young man in his twenties joined the army, five or six years mixed in the army, and retired at the age of twenty-five or sixteen, this is undoubtedly a waste of funds and resources.

A young man of 20 years old, after five or six years of vocational training, can only be regarded as just starting out in military quality, and after a few years of actual combat training, he can become a qualified professional soldier at the age of 30 or so.

From the age of thirty to forty-five, nearly fifteen years, is a period of peak and decline, and this period is the most lethal period for professional soldiers.

Yang Meng, who has been a professional mercenary, knows that the most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the young mercenaries, but the veterans who have come out of the blood.

Training professional soldiers, butchers and executioners on the battlefield is the most economical and most effective way to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, and only with a feared army can we protect our homeland.

Looking at the short and stout men wielding new guns, Yang Meng's heart was full of hope.

"Du Fuhu, let people put a target on the tree twenty steps away, and the third master will teach you how to fight."

The right hand big knife and the left pistol, Yang Meng is also the first time to try the hand, this method is easy to use, but the body must be coordinated, otherwise the knife is forgotten when the gun is shot, and the gun is forgotten when the knife is wielded.

Yang Meng's body coordination is very good, even so he is constantly trying to test this method, when the right hand swings the knife, the gun in the left hand must also be cooperated, in close combat, the butt, the barrel is also a weapon, after a trial, Yang Meng felt that it was time to create a set of methods to combine knives and guns.

In a short time, more than a dozen arrow targets were erected, Yang Meng began to move rapidly a hundred meters away, sideways Z-shaped tactical avoidance, to about thirty meters, began to fire, six shots Yang Meng also arrived in front of the arrow target, the combination of knives and guns put down more than a dozen targets in front of him, this drill is not bad.

"Have you read it all? Don't forget the knife when you practice guns, don't forget about guns when you practice knives, as long as the guys in your hands are all things for killing, where the gun should be hit, where the knife should be chopped, it was handed over to you before.

In the period before the Chinese New Year, you have to train Lao Tzu, this war is a matter anytime and anywhere, you can't practice well, look at the more than 3,000 people behind you!

The guy in your hands is not a bad street, a hundred taels of silver, if it is broken, Lao Tzu can't spare you! ”

Exaggerating the value of guns, one is to make the soldiers cherish the guns, and the other is to make them feel a sense of pride when they use guns.

This kind of superiority cannot improve the lethality of swords, guns, and artillery, but it can improve people's strength, and their mental state is different, and the combat power they exert is also very different.

The two hundred people who supervised the standard, after listening to Yang Meng's instructions, also added a lot of strength to the hand holding the gun, as if they were afraid that others would take it away, seeing this scene, Yang Meng knew that what he should have done had been done, and the rest depended on the outcome of the case between the superintendent and Yongchang.
