Chapter 106: The Emperor's Oversight

After Li Banghua compromised with the Apocalypse, he didn't think about being perfunctory, and directly selected 6,000 people from the most elite vanguard to the Apocalypse.

When these soldiers heard that Banzai had personally arranged the drill for themselves, they were very excited.

Because they have almost never been on the battlefield, they don't know the cruelty of the battlefield, and they don't care too much about whether these drills are really practical.

Speaking of this in the future, we are soldiers taught by Banzai, and it is definitely a major event to honor our ancestors.

In order to further deepen his impression in the minds of the soldiers, and to make them work harder, Apocalypse is also good at using his identity.

Without too much preparation, he gathered these six thousand people, and then personally stood on the high platform to make a appearance, and said a few loud words, which immediately caused thousands of seven-foot men below to be inexplicably excited.

In fact, most people didn't hear what Apocalypse said, and they couldn't see Apocalypse's face clearly, but they knew that the majestic figure on the stage was now Long Live today, which was enough to make them extremely proud, which was an absolute suppression of identity and rank.

Apocalypse also prepared to print a booklet of his own code of conduct and some words of encouragement, write his name, and then stamp it, and then distribute a copy to each soldier.

Many soldiers may not even know a single big character, but it doesn't matter, this pamphlet is a status symbol, so that they can feel that they are always with them, that they are the emperor's pro-army, and further enhance the sense of honor.

Immediately, Tianqi simply distributed 6,000 people, handing over the three thousand headquarters who were good at muskets to Zhou Yuji, and the other three to Huang Degong, with 3,000 people each.

The Apocalypse asked Huang Degong to use 2,000 of them as pikemen and another 1,000 as cavalry.

He didn't ask too much for the training of these 3,000 people, because he was not familiar with the training of cold weapons, so he just let them strengthen their training according to the original drill code.

The most important thing for him is to pay attention to the training of flintlock pistols, which is his strong point, and it is precisely the shortcomings of the Ming army, which is determined by the vision of the times.

He called Zhou Yuji over alone, asked someone to bring a flintlock pistol, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhou Yuji.

After Zhou Yuji unfolded it, he found that it was actually the operation of the flintlock pistol, which was subdivided into fifteen steps, and each step was also described in detail.

This is naturally the result of the apocalypse racking his brains in the past two days, although I am not sure if it is the same as the afterlife, but it must not be much different.

Tianqi pointed to the words on the paper and said, "Zhou Qing, the first few words in each column are the password, and when you practice in the future, every step of the soldier's loading must be according to the password." ”

Zhou Yuji was taken aback, and some couldn't understand why this was the case, doesn't this complicate a simple question?

After going to the battlefield, the musketeers all fired alternately, and immediately retreated to the back to reload after the shooting was complete, what do you need so many passwords for?

However, he didn't want to question Apocalypse anymore, and Apocalypse didn't take the initiative to explain to him, this move was naturally to standardize and standardize the essentials of the action, so that the soldiers could keep each procedure in mind when loading, and at the same time, they could be more unified.

With more practice in this standard procedure, the soldier will gradually develop instincts and increase the speed of reloading.

At that time, not only can you carry out three stage strikes, but also be able to fire three volleys, and the Ming army may have never tried the power of three volleys at close range.

"Zhou Qing, you come to shout the password, I will show you."

Zhou Yuji's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Long live, this is absolutely impossible, and the last general will never dare." ”

Tianqi understood Zhou Yuji's difficulty, and he no longer insisted on it, so he handed over the flintlock pistol and said, "Then you first remember the content of the password, and then I let others shout, and you will do it." ”

"Yes, hooray." Zhou Yuji responded, and then quickly memorized it according to the content of the password.

Because he already knows how to use the flintlock pistol, but it is not so specific in terms of operation, but it is basically the same, so he remembers it quickly.

When ready, a big Han general shouted with a password paper in both hands: "Equipment loading." ”

Zhou Yuji immediately held the flintlock pistol in front of him with both hands, his left hand above the barrel of the gun, and the butt of the gun with his right hand.

"Turn on the hammer."

Zhou Yuji immediately pulled the hammer head of the flintlock machine back.

"Open the medicine pool."

Open the lid of the medicine pool.

"Take out the ammunition."

Because he didn't prepare live ammunition, Zhou Yuji just made a move. However, on the password paper written by the apocalypse, the structure of the paper tube bullet was also deliberately explained.

The cartridge is wrapped in oiled paper, the red part is the projectile, and the lower part of the primary color is gunpowder, and there will be a thin rope between the projectile and the gunpowder, so that the projectile will not run in it.

There is also a red line in the middle of the primary color, which is where half of the ammunition is marked.

"Bite open the medicine bag."

Use your mouth to bite open the bottom of the primary color of the paper tube to reveal the gunpowder inside.

"Pour in the primer."

Hold the pouch where the red line is drawn, and pour half of the gunpowder into the pit pool.

"Turn off the medicine pool."

Close the lid of the medicine pool.

"Fill the gunpowder."

Half of the remaining gunpowder is poured from the muzzle into the chamber.

"Reload the projectile."

Directly stuff the red part of the cartridge into the muzzle, and cut off the excess primary color part and throw it away.

"Take out the strip."

Remove the through from the slot directly below the barrel.

"Projectile into the chamber."

Use the strip to quickly stab the projectile that has just been stuffed into the muzzle to the bottom of the chamber.

"Take back the pass."

Put the through strip back in place.

"Aim for the target."

Hold the flintlock pistol flat with the butt over your shoulder and aim at the target.

"Hit the hammer again."

Pull the hammer head back again, in fact, this is not a special design of the apocalypse, but when this flintlock pistol was invented using the invention system, the hammer has two gears.

At first, the apocalypse was a little confused, but after the fact, he figured out that this was supposed to prevent misfire.

Opening the first gear is convenient for the charge, even if the trigger is hit at this time and the misfire is missed, the force of the hammer is not enough to rub the spark on the anvil, and there will be no misfire.

So, in order to prevent accidental shooting, it is safer to open the second gear in one link before the actual shooting.

"Shoot."

Pull the trigger.

There are a total of fifteen steps, Zhou Yuji completed it very well, and Tianqi couldn't find anything wrong with it, so he said happily: "Okay, Zhou Qing, let every soldier practice like this, the faster the better." ”

"In the future, the army will organize a competition every month, and those who get the top 50 will be rewarded, and if they enter the top 50 more than five times a year, they will be rewarded again."

Seeing that Apocalypse was so fanatical in support of the flintlock pistol, Zhou Yuji didn't have much to say, and hurriedly responded to the order.

Since then, Tianqi has come to the Beijing camp from time to time to inspect it, which can not only supervise the training of these 6,000 soldiers, but also make the Beijing camp dare not slack off, forcing the Beijing camp to improve little by little.
