Chapter 69: Arrival (3rd Update)

With the hundreds of guns that originally belonged to the patrol battalion, the patrol team finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of being bare-handed.

After distributing more than 300 guns to the patrol team, Yan Shao selected three hundred and four people from them to form two teams. The team is the establishment of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty, which is equivalent to the company-level establishment in other countries.

In addition, Yan Shao also singled out forty-six people to form a platoon, which was responsible for the security of himself and the manor.

After all, with such a big home, it is not possible to recruit more people to watch. And Yan Shao has also offended a lot of people recently, not to mention far away, that Yamamoto Jotaro Yan Shao is sure that as long as he has the opportunity, he will never let himself go.

Get a guard of about 50 people out, and your own safety will be guaranteed.

With a team, it is natural to have training. Otherwise, there is only a gun and no training, so what's the difference between that and bandits?

Originally, according to Katerina's meaning, she personally came forward, after all, she was also from a military family, and she knew this aspect very well. However, in this era, whether it is China or other countries, it is not convenient for women to show their heads after allβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” of course, the most important thing is Yan Shao's jealousy.

So in the end, under Yan Shao's bitter plea (Caterina language) / dedication and teaching (Yan Shao), she finally gave up this idea.

But even if Carter is in bedtime, he still has to find someone to train in the end.

In the end, there was no way, Yan Shao could only invite a few officers from the nearby patrol battalion to come over and work part-time. Although the combat effectiveness of the patrol battalion is very scummy, it is still no problem for these officers to teach people to shoot and line up, in fact, Yan Shao only needs them to teach these...

With instructors, the maintenance of the patrol battalion has also entered the regularity.

Every day, pedestrians passing by outside the county can hear the gunshots in the patrol camp, and watch the patrol members' shooting results get better and better. The instructors invited from the patrol battalion were a little painful while being happy.

Yan Shao once promised that as long as the results of the patrol battalion satisfied him, he would pay more on the original commission as a reward. Now that the results of the team members are getting better and better, these instructors are naturally happy.

The problem is the results of shooting, unless the talent is really outstanding, otherwise it needs to be fed with bullets. And now the bullets used by the patrol members are almost always pulled from the patrol battalion. There are constant gunshots on the training ground every day, how can these instructors not feel distressed...

But even if it was distressing, it was only temporary, and a month later, more than 500 6.8mm caliber Mauser rifles ordered by Yan Shao from Lihe and foreign companies finally arrived.

"It's finally here..."Standing at the entrance of the camp, Yan Shao turned back to Huang Hao and the others. I don't have to listen to your complaints this time..."In the distance, horse-drawn carriages are slowly driving over with new rifles and ammunition that have crossed the sea from Germany...

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Huang Hao smiled and didn't say anything, but a young man named Fu Xiuming on the side said. "Boss, we can't be blamed for this, it's really too difficult to use those Hanyang Manufacturing..."

This Fu Xiuming was promoted from the more than 300 people some time ago, because he had gone to school, and he was considered a literate rare animal among the more than 300 people, so he served as the captain of the guard and was usually responsible for Yan Shao's safety.

Hearing Fu Xiuming's words, Yan Shao smiled bitterly. "Okay, okay, you're reasonable."

As he spoke, the convoy in the distance had already arrived at the camp.

After motioning for the workers to remove the boxes, Yan Shao opened one of the wooden boxes, revealing the brand-new Mauser rifle inside.

Seeing these new guns, whether it was Huang Hao or Fu Xiuming, they all looked eager to try.

Seeing them like this, Yan Shao also knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he had no choice but to say. "You guys just move the gun to the training ground and try the gun...", Yan Shao said and glanced at the Germans who brought the gun over. No problem, right? ”

"Of course, no problem," the German smiled. Mr. Ernst has already told me about guns, and it's a good time for you to try them..."

It is clear that this man has a lot of confidence in this batch of Mausers.

"That's good..."Yan Shao nodded, and with his permission, Huang Hao and Fu Xiuming happily moved a box of rifles to the training ground, and after a while, bursts of gunfire came from the training ground.

Listening to the crisp sound of gunshots, Yan Shao smiled and said. "Let's go over and have a look, too." As he spoke, he glanced at a few instructors from the patrol battalion who were envious on the side. "Would you like to try it too?"

Regarding this batch of new guns, when they first came from the patrol battalion, they had already heard about it from Huang Hao's mouth. So after seeing this batch of brand-new rifles, they were like wine worms hooked by fine wine, and they had long coveted this batch of rifles.

It's just that they were hired after all, and even if the gun arrived, it was hard to speak, so they could only stand on the side, watching Huang Hao and them carry the gun box to test the gun.

Now that Yan Shao's permission has been obtained, several people naturally happily carry a box of rifles to the training ground.

After a while, Yan Shao and the others heard the gunshots on the other side of the training ground, which was much denser than just now.

More than ten minutes later, Fu Xiuming and the others walked over from the training ground with their guns in their arms, and they all looked very comfortable, and even Huang Hao's voice could be heard from afar. "Boss, these guns are really good!!"

"It seems that there is no problem..."Doing business in China, the German naturally knew some Chinese, so after hearing Huang Hao's words, he looked at Yan Shao with a smile, as if all this had been expected for a long time.

Like many Germans of this era, he has a strong belief in his products.

After confirming that the goods were fine, Yan Shao nodded.

"In that case, let's go to the side and talk about the payment..."

"Good..."

Yan Shao didn't fail to see the instructors' love for it, but he had already paid them a high salary, so he didn't plan to give them a few more gunsβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” you must know that the price of these guns was higher than the salary paid to them.

If you send a few to them, Yan Shaoke will lose...

It was also because they knew this that they did not make this request.

However, upon returning to the camp, they highlighted to their superiors the excellent performance of the gun. They were impressed by their low weight, high precision, low recoil and not weak lethality, combined with their reliable construction.

The commander of the patrol battalion who had already arrived was also a little moved after listening to the description of his subordinates.

Later, after sending someone to borrow a rod from Yan Shao and try it out, he sent a telegram to Anqing, hoping to replace the new army and the patrol battalion with this new Mauser rifle.

Anqing's reply to this is also very efficient, two words.

"No money..."

After receiving a few rifles promised by Yan Shao, Seonghoon himself couldn't put it down, and he had the idea of changing the clothes of the new army and the patrol battalion. It's just that after asking the person who sent the gun about the price, Seong-hoon can only shake his head and give up this idea with a wry smile.

Because the price of this new rifle is more than three times more expensive than that of the domestic Hanyang, even if it is a hand, the price is not affordable by Anqing.

But even so, he still divided the rifle sent by Yan Shao into two shots, one to Beijing and the other to Zhang Zhidong, obviously Chengxun also knew very well that if he wanted to successfully imitate this rifle, Zhang Zhidong's Hanyang Arsenal was the most suitable place.

As a result, this new Mauser rifle, which is known as the 33rd year of Guangxu in history, entered the field of vision of the Chinese people several years earlier than in history, which can be regarded as one of the many changes in the historical trajectory...β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”
