Section 7 Firecrackers

The white-armored soldier in He Baodao's mouth is the Bayala guard, and the Bayala guard is the slave of each cow lu, and his status is equivalent to that of the Ming general. The white-armored soldiers who are skilled in archers and horses can be regarded as professional soldiers, and their interests are closely related to the head of the family, and they are the elite of the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin. During the Nurhachi period, there were 300 banners per ox, of which 100 were armored soldiers and 200 unarmored auxiliaries, but there were only 15 to 17 white-armored soldiers.

"Well, yes, I agree. Huang Shi noticed that He Baodao spit out a piece of cake crumbs into his bowl along with a fish bone, and he carefully took advantage of He Baodao's opportunity to bow his head to eat, and quickly picked it up unobtrusively, and threw out the thing that made him a little disgusting: "The fighting spirit of daring to fight is almost there, but when it comes to the people our army has killed and the battles they have fought, they are much worse than the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu." ”

This time, it was He Baodao's turn to respond in a low voice: "Well, yes, the last general also thinks so......" He Baodao was stunned for a while, and suddenly threw down the half of the cake that had not been eaten and was about to get up: "It's too bad, and you must practice strictly." ”

Huang Shi hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother He, I said that you should rest for half an hour after dinner, and you can't urge the soldiers." "Huangshi doesn't plan to come out with a whole batch of appendicitis, it's an incurable disease in this era.

"Don't worry, my lord, the last general is just going to discuss the afternoon drill with the officers, and there are drill regulations written by the adults himself, and the last general will not dare to come nonsense. ”

"If there are regulations, why rush for a while? Sit, sit, sit, and finish the meal first. ”

The firefighting battalion currently has one horse team and two infantry teams, and the specific establishment of the horse team is still under consideration in Huangshi, and it is now tentatively numbered with 270 soldiers. The establishment of the infantry team has basically been decided, each team has a theoretical establishment of 400 people, 250 pikemen and 150 musketeers, and there are nearly 900 infantry participating in the drill on Changsheng Island, and the two infantry teams are full and rich.

Because of the hastiness of the troops, there will be two military parades every month, and Huang Shi honestly and unceremoniously calls this a "martial arts meeting", and the problems exposed at the competition will be discussed immediately, and the outstanding detachments will be commended. Huangshi ordered all officers of the detachment who received the commendation to report on their training experience, and these things would be recorded to be used to refine and improve the drill regulations.

Huangshi dragged He Baodao to drink soup with peace of mind, alfalfa is really good, not to mention the large yield, raw can be eaten by horses, and cooked people can also be used to supplement vitamins. The alfalfa soup with sea salt is not unpleasant, and the highest commander also chews this thing together, even Wu Mu often eats this fish in public, so the soldiers have no complaints.

"Brother Yang sent three more firecrackers today, and now there are nearly ninety-five firecrackers in the camp, and in the afternoon, there are ninety-five people going to practice firecrackers, and the rest continue to train assassination, what do you think?"

Because Yellowstone insisted on putting manpower into the watermills, which were actually two blacksmiths and three carpenters, Duncan's firecracker production was relatively slow. The cast firebolt parts need to be drilled by manpower to drill the preset holes and polish the inner chamber, and a blacksmith can complete a barrel a day after being skilled, and occasionally scrapped and the blacksmith will be sick, so three or two can be produced every day.

"Well, I have no opinion, you are a guerrilla training on Changsheng Island, you have the final say. By September, we will have enough 300 firearms. ”

Except for the first month, the two months of fire guns did not explode, and it can be seen that the craftsmen's income is getting better and better. The reason why the fire gun is described as a "door" is because of the habit of the Ming Dynasty, even Huangshi also felt that the fire gun made by Duncan was not like a gun, but similar to a small cannon.

In the initial test, Yellowstone and Duncan immediately showed that the Bird Gun was not powerful enough, and it was difficult to penetrate the two layers of cotton armor, and if the opponent was a Houjin Teng Soldier, it was estimated that the lethality was very limited, that is, it was slightly stronger than a bow and arrow, similar to a broadsword.

Duncan insisted that the firecracker must have the ability to penetrate rattan and cotton armor, and he finally persuaded a hesitant Yellowstone to abandon his flexibility considerations. Now the fire gun produced on Changsheng Island has a heavy wooden butt, and the thick barrel on it is very burly and heavy, so it is necessary to make another wooden stick - you have to put the fire gun on the stick before you can shoot, otherwise the soldier will not be able to hold the gun steadily, and God knows where the recoil bullet will hit.

Nearly 100 soldiers practiced shooting at the sound of officers' whistles...... That's right, it's the whistle, the carpenter made several whistles for the officers to choose from, and now they use a wooden whistle that is both loud and sharp, and the officers use different whistles to direct the soldiers' technical movements, but also to remind them not to miss a link.

The firecracker holds the stick with his right hand, and after setting it up, he moves the motor buckle with his left hand to let the fire rope touch the fire door, and after the shooting, loosens the stick to let it lean on his waist, and at the same time completes a series of technical actions such as slag cleaning, filling, compaction, and loading.

"It's very slow, between two shots, an archer can shoot three or four arrows, so you have to train harder. ”

Yellowstone's shrill whistle sounded, and the firecrackers fired another volley, hitting several of the thick planks on the opposite side, and suddenly sawdust shattered into a large hole, and the firecrackers were still shaken back by the recoil despite the sticks.

"Fortunately, the power is not bad, it is not worse than the spear, well, it may be stronger. ”

While the soldiers were clearing the slag and charging the powder in the whistle, the auxiliaries who assisted in the training threw over the clods of earth, and the musketeers only lowered their hats slightly to prevent them from being smashed, and continued their movements meticulously in their hands. The supervising officer on the right side of the queue flicked his whip in satisfaction, and the officer also knew that Yellowstone was observing discipline, and if any of his soldiers were to get in the way, it would be his turn to eat the stick.

Of course, the whistle in his mouth still didn't dare to stop, this officer has been beaten several times for blowing the wrong whistle and can't get out of bed, in fact, there is no shame in this, you must know that the officers and drummers who filled the room in the first two months have changed to sleep on their stomachs. In the days when they were recuperating from their injuries every day, they either blew repeatedly with a whistle in their mouths, or endured the severe pain in their buttocks and desperately practiced beating the waist drum.

"Let the auxiliaries who threw the clods of earth exert their strength and round their arms and smash them at me!" Yellowstone pointed at the whip, and a herald ran over.

After a while, the nervousness on the faces of several officers accompanying the parade turned into triumph, and Huang Shi also looked very satisfied: "This army is available." ”

He Baodao suddenly sighed again: "The adults are just beating the military sticks, but the violent Qin is full of plants." The legendary master of tigers and wolves, the last general finally understood how to train it. ”
