While instructing the improvement of the protective gear, the Shen Shuren took off his deerskin gloves, wiped the black ash on his hands, and then added a lesson in a good time:

"Also, the basic training of these soldiers before is too incomplete, even if you don't aim and just estimate and fight, you won't be so far away. In the future, I will practice waist shooting by feeling!

Most of the musketeers in our army have been in the army for three years, and after three years and several large-scale actual battles, haven't you found a feeling? ”

Zuo Zixiong and Lu Datou and other officers, of course, can only accept this criticism in its entirety, but they also euphemistically said that they also have difficulties:

A large number of live-fire training is too expensive, and if you don't encounter actual combat, who can waste ammunition like this to find a gun? It's nice to be able to practice aiming and shooting today.

Shen Shuren thought about it and sighed. He also knew that this was a fact, and it was impossible for him to let the troops waste a large amount of silver and materials on target shooting, and would rather sharpen their skills in the actual battle of the big waves and sands, so that the ammunition they could shoot out could kill the enemy.

So he added: "Then from now on, first select soldiers in the army who are good at riding and archery and have a foundation in equestrianism, and then each person shoots three to five shots, and select the best of the best, and pick out the best of them with the best gun sense and waist shooting talent."

Later, form a separate army and organize a unit that can shoot from the waist in the charge. Fortunately, our army does not have many short-barreled backloading guns now, and if you only train a few hundred elite soldiers, you won't spend much ammunition -

Also, don't use wax shells during high-intensity training! Remember to use cartridges or bulk ammunition, anyway, training is not afraid of slow reloading, just use cheap bullets.

Let Song Yingxing make another batch of front-loading guns with the same length and length as double-barreled rear-loading guns, and the tail will not leak, which is specially used for training. In this way, there are no wax shell bullets, and there is no fear that the tail of the gun will leak and fire too badly and burn people. ”

After Zuo Zixiong and Lu Datou and the others heard this, they were also full of admiration, and immediately realized that Lord Futai's plan was well organized - the training cost is high, and it is possible to find a way! Specially build some low-cost training bullets, and then specially use them with training guns, you can practice shooting accuracy.

After Shen Shuren finished his order, he asked the various departments to continue the drill.

After the short-barreled rear-loading trolls rehearsed, they continued to let the revolver team come forward to demonstrate.

There was another roar of gunpowder, and the two hundred pistols each fired six rounds in quick succession. The Sinking Tree Man watched closely, and the pistolmen could make sure that they held the pistol flat with one hand, roughly aimed and fired.

The accuracy and hit rate within twenty or thirty steps are still very impressive, at least there will be no obvious errors in the general direction, and these pistols are also trolls, and there are also several marbles, covering the fire is very fierce.

Therefore, Shen Shuren did not make any criticism of the pistol drill, nor did he need to specifically select soldiers to form a pistol cavalry team, and his main opinions today were focused on the rear-loading double-barreled trolls.

After reading it, Shen Shuren clapped his hands and said: "Okay, the pistol cavalry will use these soldiers, first form two hundred horsemen, and strengthen their equestrian skills." As for the double-barreled lancers, it is still necessary to choose the best of the best, each battalion can recommend itself as an elite, and if they feel that they have good marksmanship, they can try, each person tries two bullets, and if they are not allowed to aim, they will shoot from the waist, and the best results will be trained. ”

Zuo Zixiong immediately began to carry it out, and ordered the battalions to recommend themselves and pick out the soldiers with the best marksmanship-

Of course, it can't be tried in vain, if the selected soldiers can't even reach the average level in the end, and the basic hit rate cannot be guaranteed, then they will have to deduct a few days' military pay and corporal punishment.

In the same way, those who perform well can be directly integrated into the new troops, and the military salary will also be increased, and the food standard will also be raised.

Otherwise, everyone is overconfident, this has to be selected until the Year of the Monkey, and there are not so many wax shell bullets to waste in a short period of time, and we have to wait for cheap training bullets and training guns to be in place in the future, and then we can open up the selection at low cost.

As soon as they heard this order, all the battalions were really very excited, and some soldiers who felt that they had good marksmanship, and even the junior officers of the musket team at the general and team leadership levels, all volunteered to try two shots.

Zuo Zixiong organized these people into a team of two hundred people, fired at their respective targets in front, and then counted the bullet holes on the target stacks, and the competition was carried out in an orderly manner, and he really selected some elites with a good sense of waist guns, which made Shen Shuren quite satisfied.

It seems that the troops with new weapons will soon be able to formally form combat effectiveness.

However, looking at it, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

With more than half of the drill, about three or four hundred candidates have been selected by the double-barreled musketeers, and with another team of musketeers playing, firing, and counting the results, the data has obviously increased a little, which makes Shen Shuren a little surprised.

"Whose subordinate is this? Which battalion? The waist shooting gun feels very good, so you have to summarize the practice method! Get me the officer in charge! "Shen Shuren attaches great importance to summarizing lessons and lessons, and as soon as they see something worth excavating and promoting, they immediately get to the bottom of it.

After a while, an officer in his twenties with a slightly strange appearance was hugged and saluted to the Shen Shuren.

"Are you...... Locals in Liaodong? "Shen Shuren has a lot of ups and downs, and I'm not sure.

The other party reported to his family: "The last general, Li Yu, who was temporarily served as the capital supervisor of the Korean Bird Gun Battalion, a month and a half ago, led the team to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light in the Battle of Beacon Mountain. The father of the family is the Korean soldier Cao and the judge Li Shibai. ”

Shen Shuren heard that he was the North Korean general, and nodded politely. Shen Shuren has also heard about the current situation at the top of North Korea, but now is not the time to talk about this, he is now eager to dig up the training methods of the bird's hand.

So he also asked unceremoniously and directly: "Then you should tell me, why don't these bird-gunners in your camp aim at the waist so accurately?" According to the statistics, on average, there are one or two more marbles on the target stack of each shot. How do you do it? ”

Li Yu was also a little embarrassed, he came to Daming for a month, and he still admired Daming's strength.

The Koreans at the end of the Ming Dynasty were not as arrogant as the Koreans of later generations, and they still felt that the Ming Dynasty was the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and everything was awesome.

So Li Yu explained very modestly: "In our North Korean army, we really attach importance to the bird hand, but there seems to be no secret method in practice...... It may be that we are more strict in the selection of soldiers, and we can select Orions to serve in the army as bird guns, and these Orions use bows and arrows and bird guns all year round, and their archery skills are excellent. ”

Shen Shuren listened to the first half of the sentence, and he didn't feel anything, when he was in Huangzhou, he also tried his best to select Orion to recruit soldiers as long-range troops, Orion has a bow and arrow base, and switching to muskets will be a little more accurate than farmers and miners.

But the second half of Li Yu's sentence made him discover a blind spot: "You mean that in North Korea, ordinary hunters can also come into contact with bird guns before they join the army?" Still have a long time to practice daily use? Is it for hunting? ”

Li Yu was stunned for a moment: "Orion uses bird guns, naturally they are hunting...... The last general did not understand what the adults meant. ”

Shen Shuren: "I mean, you Korean lords, don't prohibit the people from holding bird guns?" ”

Only then did Li Yu know the other party's focus, and hurriedly explained:

"Originally, there were few folk birds in North Korea, but since the Wanli War, for more than 40 years, my country has resisted the Japanese and the Tartars twice, and the officials and troops are unbearable. When the king of our country saw that the righteous army could drive out the Tartars, he was happy to see it succeed, and did not strictly control it anymore. ”

Shen Shuren: "The lord of North Korea is not afraid that there are too many people and some people are usurping and rebelling? ”

Li Yu was stunned for a while: "...... Since the Han and Northern Dynasties, there have been only three major dynasties and some sporadic divisions, and the former dynasty was either destroyed by foreign enemies or set things right by the feudal towns, and no common people have ever succeeded in rebellion-

What's more, our Korea was only a vassal of the Ming Dynasty before, if there was really a usurpation, there would naturally be a Ming Dynasty to help quell the rebellion, and we only need to deal with foreign enemies first. I am afraid that I will not be able to deal with the Japanese and the Tartars, so what is the use of beware of the common people?

Even if you want to beware of the inside, you are actually beware of the side branches of the clan...... And whether the side branch of the clan is 'on the side of the Qing monarch' and whether it can succeed has nothing to do with whether the common people have weapons or not. ”

Li Yu's words not only opened up a new perspective for Shen Shuren. A group of old and rough generals who don't know much about history next to him have refreshed their cognition.

If the history of the book is equivalent to the history of China at a speed of 0.2 times, then the history of the Korean Peninsula is also a history of China at a speed of 0.5 times.

Before the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, those Jizi Joseon and Weiman Korea did not go to say, during the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains unified Korea, and after the Han Dynasty died in the Wei and Jin dynasties, the Korean Peninsula was fully re-established, and since then there have been three dynasties of Goguryeo, Goryeo and Joseon.

Goguryeo is equal to the entire period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Central Plains plus the Sui and early Tang dynasties, Goryeo is equal to the five dynasties and ten kingdoms of the late Tang Dynasty plus the Song and Yuan dynasties, and Korea corresponds to the Ming and Qing dynasties.

There were three dynasties in total, and the dynasty was changed twice, and the average time of the two long-term unified dynasties in the Central Plains was only changed once on the corresponding peninsula, which led them to not worry about the peasant uprising at all.

There is no Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao, Li Zicheng, the peasants can't survive, at most they resist taxes, and cut themselves off, and in the end, they are replaced by someone and then Zhao'an.

However, in the more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the Koreans were very wary of the usurpation coup d'état within the Li family, and the clans always killed each other, because that was the biggest threat to the rule. Yi Sunsin was a distant relative of the royal family because of his surname Li, and he was greatly suspicious and deposed for several years after repelling the Japanese invaders.

"Alas, it seems that this is a matter of national conditions, and this trick is really not lawful. You can't let the Ming side also lift the ban on bird guns and allow people to use bird guns to hunt...... This Ming can't help bows and arrows, but iron armor, crossbows, and firearms can't be opened......"

Shen Shuren thought about it again and again, and felt that he still couldn't imitate it casually.

This is the land of China, if you relax in banning guns, it will be a big trouble, and how can you get it back in the future.

And now Chongzhen is not dead, there is still more than a year and a half of Yangshou, even if Chongzhen's control over the place has declined, if Shen Shuren dares to release the ban on firearms in Huguang, he will definitely be impeached by the people of the world to the point of no return. Maybe other local warlords will also think that he is a thief and directly crusade against him.

This problem still can't be tried in the Central Plains, which has a strong foundation of thieves.

However, the mind must be liberated, and just because Korea is a country of Dongyi, we should not feel that there is no place for reference. Even if other aspects are far inferior to the Ming Dynasty, there is something that can be used for reference at this point, and it is necessary to master the skills of the master to control the Ming.

In the end, Shen Shuren had no choice but to remove the chaff and selectively absorb it, and instructed Zuo Zixiong: "In the future, when producing training bullets, you can produce iron bullets, and you are not allowed to use lead bullets, and then organize the musket team to use iron sand bullets to cross the country and shoot hunting."

Lead bullet is fragile, the residue is also poisonous, and the prey has to cut off a lot of meat, and it is easy to harm the body if it is not clean. It doesn't matter if the iron sand shoots the prey, just take the iron sand clean.

Blindly relying on spending money on training in vain, there is not so much waste of guns and ammunition, and it is still necessary to educate and use, and find a sense of gun while hunting - of course, only for troops who need high-intensity hip-fire training. For the old-fashioned bird gunners who aim and shoot, off-road hunting training is not necessary. ”

Zuo Zixiong, Lu Datou and others pondered for a while, and they were all convinced, and felt that Lord Futai was thoughtful.

The musket drill of the day soon ended, and the follow-up competition was a repeated selection of 1,200 soldiers suitable for double-barreled rear-loading guns, and the training will continue in turn in the future.

After the re-selection, among the 1,200 people, many of them were veterans who had withdrawn from Liaodong, and the proportion of the original Huangzhou army had further decreased - in fact, it was normal, because Shen Shuren was preparing to use this unit as a cavalry army, and it was necessary to fire before charging, and equestrianism was also very important.

Many of the veterans who survived the great waves in Liaodong were born in cavalry units, and even a few were born in Guanning Iron Cavalry, and their riding foundation was naturally good.

Because the war may not be able to start within a month, according to the margin of one month, by the time the war begins, the Shen family army may still have another 600 of these new rear-loading guns. New equipment is expensive and difficult to purchase, so you can only wait for people to wait for equipment, not to equip people.

……

After completing the drill and review of the army, a full half a day passed, and Zheng Chenggong, who had been quietly following without interference, also came over to remind Shen Shuren whether to arrange lunch and look at something else in the afternoon after resting.

Shen Shuren was also very close to the people, sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, saying that they would eat in the barracks, and by the way, they would take advantage of the lunch time to visit the wounded who had withdrawn from Liaodong.

Now these troops have only been resting at the shore for half a month, and even if they have been adrift and sailing on the sea and the Yangtze River for more than 20 days, it has only been 40 days since the wounded and sick were injured in the Battle of Beacon Hill.

During that time at sea, the recovery efficiency was still relatively low, it was bumpy all the time, and the nutrition could not keep up, and many people's injuries were even aggravated. After staying on the shore, upgrading medical conditions, and keeping up with nutrition, he recovered quickly.

For those seriously injured with broken tendons and internal injuries, a third of the recovery will be at most in 40 days, and many people will not be able to get out of bed. The minor wounded recovered from the flesh wounds.

During today's parade on the school grounds, only those lightly wounded who had just recovered participated with normal soldiers, and all the seriously wounded were still in bed.

As a person of later generations, Shen Shuren must be much more equal in thought than the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also much more humane. In the future, the president of any country will have to make a show to visit the wounded when it comes to war.

Therefore, Shen Shuren's concern for the wounded soldiers is, of course, incomparable to other Ming Dynasty civil and military generals.

There is no need to disguise this, as long as you take out the experience of the chief's inspection on TV in later generations, you can directly crush it.
