When Apocalypse and his party arrived at the training school ground of the Shenji Battalion, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were also practicing hard, but Apocalypse frowned after only one glance, because they were wielding long knives and training melee slashing.

Tianqi groaned slightly, and asked Li Banghua on the side: "Li Qing, the sergeant of the Shenji Battalion, is already proficient in using flintlock pistols?" ”

Li Banghua hurriedly said: "Long live, the biggest difference between the flintlock pistol and the bird gun is that the way of firing is different, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion selected by Wechen can all be proficient in using the bird gun, and Wechen will then use the method told by the War Bureau, so that the soldiers can practice diligently for half a month, and they have mastered it." ”

Apocalypse asked again, "Then do you practice muskets every day now?" ”

Li Banghua was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Long live Hui, the army stipulates that drills are held every ten days. ”

In his mind, this kind of firearm can't be controlled accurately, as long as he can use it skillfully, how can he practice?

As soon as his words fell, Li Banghua himself felt that the apocalypse was a little displeased.

He instinctively thought that he didn't pay enough attention to the flintlock pistol invented by Banzai, especially when Banzai personally came to inspect it, he didn't practice it, and he lost Banzai's face, so it caused Banzai to be unhappy.

In fact, otherwise, the current Apocalypse is not so face-loving, he sighed that the Ming army has been using firearms for hundreds of years, and now it only uses musketeers as auxiliary troops, so as long as they can use it, most of his mind is still on melee combat.

Today's West is engaged in a thirty-year war, through Gustav's military reform, the proportion of musketeers in the Swedish army has increased significantly, has exceeded the number of spearmen, after the baptism of actual combat, it has also been recognized by the armies of other Western countries, and then began to learn to imitate.

This shows that the role of musketeers in warfare has become more prominent, surpassing that of cold weapons, and they are not yet equipped with more advanced flintlock muskets, otherwise this proportion will be further increased.

The Ming army's emphasis on firearms was still in the Qi Jiguang period, and the proportion of firearms soldiers was almost half, but I didn't expect that just a few decades later, the Ming army not only did not improve, but degenerated.

This may also have something to do with the corruption of the military and government and the increasingly shoddy manufacture of firearms, but this short-sightedness has a far-reaching impact on the whole of China.

Tianqi didn't speak for a while, and the other generals who accompanied him all looked at each other, wondering if the emperor would be furious.

In fact, the apocalypse doesn't know how to say it to change their concepts, and if they don't do it, they will despise it, even if they don't dare to say it, they may think in their hearts, you have never been on the battlefield as a carpenter, what do you know about musket tactics?

After thinking for a while, Tianqi said to Li Banghua: "Li Qing, I have a not very mature idea, and I am going to borrow six thousand soldiers from you to test it, and I will personally train them." ”

Li Banghua couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it: "Long live, I can't help it, if Long Live has any will, Wei Chen will do it." ”

"Yes, long live, the army is miserable, long live the dragon body is important, and the sergeant is vulgar, in case of collision, long live, the ministers can't afford to eat it."

"Yes, hooray, please take back your fate."

The other generals were also shocked, and they all admonished Apocalypse to dispel this crazy idea.

But the apocalypse is well thought out, and I will tell you what I think directly, and I am afraid that you will neither believe it nor take it too seriously.

Rather than this, it is better for me to do it myself and come up with the results first.

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if you are exhausted, there will only be 6,000 soldiers, and no matter how much you will be stronger than the previous Beijing soldiers.

So, Apocalypse chuckled and said, "Why, you all look down on me? Don't forget, I invented the flintlock pistol, and I know best how to use it. ”

Li Banghua hurriedly said: "Long live, the ministers don't mean this, it's just that Long Live has to deal with state affairs every day, how dare the ministers let Long Live distract the military again?" Wechen was terrified. ”

"The last will be terrified."

There was another reason for their exhortation, fearing that if this matter got out, it would make other Ming soldiers laugh at it, and even be criticized by the courtiers.

The slamming Jingying can't even practice, and it still needs to go into battle in person.

At that time, it will not only affect the image of Jingying, but also be directly related to the treatment of Jingying, and if you want to ask the court for money and food in the future, you will inevitably be used to talk about it.

Tianqi didn't think so much about it now, he just frowned, and said resolutely: "I don't need to come here every day, I will give the method of practice to others, you don't need to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind." ”

Everyone wanted to say, since this is the case, why bother to do more and just tell us the method of practice?

But the apocalypse has already said this, and they also know that they can't persuade it, and if they persuade it again, it will really provoke Banzai, and the consequences will be even more serious.

So, Li Banghua could only say helplessly: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Apocalypse nodded at this time, and said, "I still want to ask you for two generals." ”

Hearing this, all the generals present were moved, and even regretted a little, knowing that this was the case, they should have fully supported Banzai just now, once they won the favor of Banzai, it is likely that they will have prosperous official luck.

Some people hurriedly moved their bodies so that Banzai could see them.

Some of them have a straight face, showing a serious side, so that they can look like strict self-disciplined people, and can train soldiers well.

Li Banghua bowed and replied: "The Beijing camp belongs, and they all listen to the dispatch of Long Live Mission. ”

"Where are the two generals Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong?"

Li Banghua was stunned, and the generals looked around, a little inexplicable, who is Zhou Yuji? Who is Huang Degong? Only a few people were a little shocked, they didn't understand why these two little Qianzong attracted the attention of Banzai.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Apocalypse knew that these two were not among them.

Actually, Tianqi was going to ask for three people, and the other one seemed to be called Yuan, but he couldn't remember anything, but fortunately, he confirmed that Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong were already in the Beijing camp.

I had long planned to find an opportunity to appoint them, and now is the right time.

Li Banghua wondered if there was something wrong with Long Live but still asked the generals: "Which generals are Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong?" ”

A guerrilla and a staff general hurriedly stood up, and one of the guerrillas said: "Long live Hui, Zhou Yuji is the commander of the last general." ”

The general said: "Long live back, Huang Degong is the last general to command a thousand generals." ”

Tianqi hurriedly said: "Then quickly summon the two of them to come." ”

"Yes." The two responded in unison, but at the same time they were envious in their hearts, they were also quite jealous.

If a moment later, Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong hurriedly came, when they learned that they were going to see the two of them, even Huang Degong, who was known as Huang Chuangzi in later generations, was also apprehensive.

"Long live the lowly knock."

Carefully glancing at the apocalypse in military uniforms, the two of them quickly knelt down, and their hearts were shocked, because this was completely different from the image of the emperor they knew, just like the huge gap between the carpenter and the general.
