With the installation of muskets and artillery, the newly adapted new firearms army is also officially completed, Xue Rengui installed the training method provided by Li Yong, the tactical style of three-stage attack and dragoon, the shooting range of the Xishan battalion came from the sound of fried beans every day, and in the deep mountains and dense forests of the valley, the artillery continued to grope and then improve the rate of fire and accuracy, constantly improve the ability of the gunners, and divide capable people to serve in various positions, and the walls of Xishan and Xinhuating City began to be modified according to the mode of artillery and muskets. Li Yong chose the European-style fortress, because the European-style fortress is to change the fortress from a convex polygon to a concave polygon, such an improvement makes it so that no matter any point of attacking the castle, the attacking side will be exposed to more than one fortress surface, and a fortress surface has three firepower points, and the defender can use crossfire to carry out multiple strikes. In this era of cold weapons, it is impossible to break through this kind of castle defended by firearms, when Zheng Da hero attacked the fortress of the Dutch, in the case of the absolute superiority of firearms and numbers, it was also taken at a painful price, plus Li Yong has cement, those heavy siege weapons of what kind of stone throwing trucks and something, do not play any role in these modern reinforced concrete at all. What's more, the artillery on the fortress is not ready to install a small caliber, but the twelve-pound large-caliber heavy cannon can reach a range of two kilometers, and it has been bombed before you get close.

The Xishan Army was not equipped with such large-caliber artillery like a fortress, because it was impossible to run around the battlefield with such a heavy artillery, so they were equipped with eight-pound field guns and six-pound small steel cannons, but the navy's warships were equipped with sixteen-pounder guns, and any ship of that era was hit by such heavy artillery, and it was considered lucky not to sink directly. Liu Renliang rushed to Suzhou by merchant ship to meet Li Yong.

"Aren't you particularly unconvinced?"

"Nope."

Liu Renliang said no, but the liquor in the cup was dry, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was not convinced, Li Yong held back his glance, knowing the character of this product, he didn't bother to give him any comfort, and said to him bluntly.

"Don't you want to ask for any comfort from me, your order was personally issued by me, let you come here, you should be able to guess as a smart person, that's right, I'm going to let you be the commander of this navy, but I look very unhappy with you, forget it, I'll still find someone else, you Liu Renliang is a coward."

Liu Renliang slapped the dinner table and stood up angrily, he was called Liu Daring in the Xishan Army, and now he is said to be a coward, where can he bear it, Li Yong was also stunned by him, and then gave him a not very friendly face

"Yo he, I haven't seen you in the past few months, this guts is hairy, dare to slap the table in front of Lao Tzu, okay, okay."

Liu Renliang withered after hearing this, the cold sweat came down, in the entire Xishan, who dared to slap the table in front of him Li Yong, I don't want to live, not to mention that Li Yong is the leader, let alone be deceived by his appearance and age, Li Yong's force value is very high, he has personally experienced it, it can be said that he has no power to fight back, and then Li Yong beat him in his mind, and then this idea came true, Liu Renliang was pressed to the ground by Li Yong and rubbed again, Li Lizhen and Zheng Liwan heard the sound of broken dishes and someone screaming for mercy from the room, and immediately pushed open the door, and then saw Liu Renliang with a blue nose and swollen face squatting by the door with his head in his hands, Li Yong was eating with vegetables lightly, many dishes and wine glasses and dishes were broken on the ground, and they didn't need to guess to know what was going on, Li Lizhen and Zheng Liwan looked at Liu Renliang, who looked like a very prisoner, shook their heads and exited the room and closed the door.

"Comfortable, huh? Tell you, tomorrow I will roll Lao Tzu to the naval barracks, don't think that you are so majestic on land, the era of cavalry is already in the past, you are very wrong to underestimate the role of the navy, take these naval training manuals back and read them well, give me the navy in your hand to train me to become a strong army and then come to Lao Tzu to play prestige, get out~"

Liu Renliang took the big pile of books on the desk and rushed out of the room to leave the courtyard, Li Lizhen and Zheng Liwan saw the lightning Liu Renliang leaving, so they went back to the room together and sat on his left and right, and asked people to clean up the things on the ground.

"Why are you so angry, after all, he is your general, this is not good."

"You don't understand, those two goods are a donkey that is underwhelmed, and if you don't beat him, you won't leave."

"You're embarrassed to say that Liu Renliang, you don't have the same temperament, you and your subordinates are both virtuous."

That is, Li Lizhi dared to say this about Li Yong, Li Yong shrugged his shoulders and expressed his disapproval, as a close person to Li Yong, he still doesn't know his character. Liu Renliang left Li Yong's courtyard and rushed to the new Huohuating City, looking at the fortress and the brand-new city that were being rebuilt, the black army trained had changed its clothes, and the long horse lance had become a musket, although Liu Renliang had not seen it when he left, but he had already heard his adjutant introduce this new weapon on the way here, Liu Renliang was very puzzled when he heard it, and in his heart he was still stuck in the concept of cavalry and cold weapons, and the two hundred black troops that were originally temporarily transferred here had been assigned to the black army by Li Yong. Liu Renliang's adjutant is an experienced old sailor, named Zhao Dahai, who was a pirate back then, and finally because he really couldn't see what the pirates did, he secretly left when he went ashore to plunder, and finally joined Li Yong's black army by chance, after the veterans' recruit training and ideological education, he has regarded the navy as his career, plus he has rich sailor experience, he was promoted by Li Yong to the adjutant of the naval commander, responsible for all the training of the navy, After studying the new naval training written by Li Yong, he discovered the wisdom and wisdom of Li Yong, the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet.

"Commander, these are rebuilt fortresses, after they are built, each fort will have three twelve-pounder guns, plus musketeers, these are all the responsibility of our navy, according to the commander-in-chief's will, there will be no army here in the future, only the navy, the navy will not only have sailors on ships at sea, but also marines who can fight on land."

Liu Renliang continued to watch everything in the city, in addition to the completed residential areas and some workshops, there are many places that are under construction, Zhao Dahai took him to the Huating Port under construction, those piers said before.

"Commander, this is Huating Port, these wharves will be for those foreign trade fleets in the future, and the first phase of the wharf can dock about twelve ships at a time."

"And our warships are also parked here?"

Liu Renliang looked at the huge port and wharf and couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's just a civilian ship here, our warships are docked at our military port, wait a minute, my subordinates will take you there."

"And how many ships and people do we have now?"

"Due to the problem of materials, let's not talk about the ship now, there is not even a plank, the people from the shipyard have sent people to find it two months ago, as for the personnel, there are now five hundred, three hundred sailors, and two hundred marines, but the commander-in-chief is still recruiting, but there are relatively few experienced old sailors."

Liu Renliang was also angry when he heard it, let him be the commander of this bullshit navy, now there is no ship, even the personnel are only five hundred, he doesn't know, Li Yong was called his commander with three hundred people, he has five hundred people, yes, Liu Renliang came to the naval barracks under the leadership of Zhao Dahai, originally he wanted to go to the shipyard, but where is there except for Li Yong's warrant, otherwise the king of heaven and Lao Tzu will not let him in, Liu Renliang looked at the two ghosts at the door and knew that what he said was useless, so he gave up, There is no difference between the naval barracks and the Xishan battalion, but the training equipment on the playground is different, these are all made by Li Yong according to the equipment trained by the navy in later generations, Liu Renliang saw those soldiers staggering on those equipment, and walked over curiously, Zhao Dahai pointed to these equipment and explained to him.

"Commander, these are the balance of training sailors, because the sea is different from the land, even if you look calm on the sea, in fact, there is no wind and three feet of waves, if there is a big wave weather, the ship can jump several meters high, and the sailors can't even stand on the deck, then it's not to mention fighting."

Liu Renliang has never seen what the sea is like, he also just looked at the sea on the pier, as for not like Zhao Dahai said, he didn't really feel it, he also learned from those soldiers to stand on the equipment, and it shook off before taking two steps, Liu Renliang knew that it was really not easy to practice these well, and he began to put away his thoughts, after seeing the situation in the playground, Zhao Dahai led him to the shooting range again, and Liu Renliang heard the sound of fried beans from afar.

"Report, the first squad has finished shooting, and the second squad has finished shooting."

"Check the guns."

"Checked."

"Three shifts, four shifts prep."

Liu Renliang and Zhao Dahai walked in, and the instructor in charge of shooting training saw Zhao Dahai coming, and felt that he ran over to salute him, the navy's system is basically implemented in accordance with the system of the black army, so many things are the same.

"Report, the second platoon of the Marine Corps is in shooting training, please instruct."

"Second Platoon Commander, this is our new commander, Commander Liu, Commander This is the second platoon commander of the second platoon of the Marine Corps, it turned out to be your black army, and now it belongs to our navy."

"Oh? Or is it from the old troops? ”

"Commander Liu, no, commander, the platoon commander of the second platoon of the Marine Corps reports to you."

"You guys continue to train, I'm just here, just get familiar with the environment."

"Yes."

Liu Renliang and Zhao Dahai stood at the observation point, watching the soldiers do step-by-step actions according to the instructions, and then the sound of fried beans resounded throughout the shooting range, Liu Renliang saw that the wooden humanoid targets in the shooting range were hit with sawdust flying, Liu Renliang understood why Li Yong said that the cavalry withdrew from the historical stage, how could this cavalry have a chance to rush up, Zhao Dahai can also understand Liu Renliang's mood at the moment, because he knows that Liu Renliang used to be the commander of the heavy cavalry, and now look at the power of the musket, The kind of loss in my heart can be imagined.

"Commander, next we have to ride to the artillery training ground, the power of the artillery is too great, so it is far away, ten kilometers from here."

"Let's go, then."

Liu Renliang and Zhao Dahai rode on their horses and ran towards the artillery training ground under the protection of the guards.

"That's the sound of artillery fire, Commander, there's a training ground ahead."

When Liu Renliang and they arrived at the training ground, the training soldiers were resting, and only after the explanation of the on-site commander did they know that the artillery had just reached the limit of shooting and needed to stop shooting, Liu Renliang also popularized the knowledge of artillery, knowing that the largest caliber of the current artillery is the sixteen-pounder gun on his warship, although the power of the artillery is great, but the shortcomings of the artillery are many, that is, the loading speed is not fast, the barrel can not shoot more than 30 times in a row, and the cost is expensive, so people say, the cannon is 10,000 taels of gold when it soundsIf it weren't for Li Yong's improvement of the cannon casting technology, and his trade brought him a lot of wealth, where would he dare to play this thing, when Liu Renliang saw the scene of ten cannons firing at the same time, he was stunned, the shock was like thunder in front of him, none of the targets and woods hit by those solid bullets were intact, all of them were fragmented, and the places that were ploughed by the cannonballs left deep scars, Liu Renliang could imagine what it was like for this artillery to hit the other party's ship and crowd, After watching the artillery shooting, Liu Renliang completely abandoned the idea of cold weapons, and the black knife that had been with him for a long time on his waist was disgusted, and he also deeply felt that his navy would definitely become the main force on the battlefield in the future.
