Chapter 101: Practice

Chen Cao is going to marry Li Wan'er, the king of Tieling Township, in a few days, and he has stepped up the arrangement in the past few days, after all, Li Wan'er is the role of a flat wife after entering the door, and with the emperor's marriage, it is naturally sloppy.

Nanjing Xungui, who got the news, came to the door to give gifts in advance, Xu Hongji's identity was different, he knew that money was no longer important to Chen Cao, so the big housekeeper personally sent a box of pills.

"This is what Grandpa Guo asked him to get back from Longhu Mountain quickly, and he knew that Uncle Dingwu was good, so he hurriedly ordered me to send it."

Chen Cao was very happy, the last time the pill was given to Zhao Xin by himself, he thought that he had suffered a big loss, but now when he opened it, it was exactly the same as last time, and there were four more, Chen Cao couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.

Getting married in the first month is a joy and a joy, but you still have to pick a time, think about it carefully, this time I married Li Wan'er, and I don't need to make a big deal when I marry someone in the future, and then I come to the side room, and I only need to set the table to eat at night.

...

"You must be familiar with the training methods of the Nanjing Right Guard, Ben Bo will not personally train you, but you must remember that the words of General Song are the words of Ben Bo."

"Uncle's spirit is," Xu Kai hurriedly followed Chen Cao after his injury was healed, for fear of leaving himself behind.

Zhao Xin whispered on the side: "I only spent candles in the cave room last night, and I came to the barracks today, our uncle's health is very good." ”

The two whispered, and a group of recruits ate the 'reassuring pill' one after another under Chen Cao's public opinion offensive, the most important thing was because the benchmark of Nanjing's right guard stood in place.

Many of the recruits are fellow villagers or relatives and friends of the right guards of Nanjing, and everyone has a common identity: serving as a soldier under Dingwubo not only has enough food and clothing, but also takes a lot of money, and the key is that the family members of the army have serious things to do, and they still have money to take.

"I heard that the third child and his family are mixed up in Nanjing's right guard, and after the battle in Liaodong, they were promoted to 100 household officials, which is something that we people can't think of in our lives..."

"That's not it, the family is working in the workshop, and they have money every month, and the child of their family was in the village in the early years, not to mention how thin he was, you see now, Kong Wu is powerful, I heard that he also opened something in the uncle himself... What a school..."

"Nanjing Army Academy..."

"That's right, that's it, I don't even give money to go to school, I give priority to the children of my family to study, and I also set up a women's school, even women can go to study..."

"What? Can girls read too? ”

"That's not it, listen to my fellow countryman, what Uncle said should men and women be equal, you can't just let men fight, women can still go to war..."

"Forget it, my girl's thin appearance, how can she fight with the Tartar with a knife?"

"You don't know, the main weapon of the Nanjing right guard is a musket, and the enemy's white-knuckle battle has never happened, I heard the leader of the hundred households said, we will also use firearms in the future, as long as the gun is good, who will care if you will use a knife."

"Shut up..."The company commander who led the team (try 100 households) heard the whispers of the soldiers of his team and immediately reprimanded.

However, it didn't work, the patrol battalion commander (Baihu) saw this, and said coldly: "After your team is over, run five kilometers, don't fall behind, if you fall, the whole team will be expelled, and the Dingwu Army does not need undisciplined soldiers like you." ”

Chen Cao is measured by a modern ruler, five kilometers is ten miles away, and the recruits are basically tired and half dead when they run down.

The entire New Army had 50,000 people, and most of the officers at the level of 100 or 1,000 households led by the team were non-commissioned officers who survived the Nanjing Right Guard, and they had experience in training and fighting.

After Chen Cao's public opinion offensive was finished, he began the distribution of the new army: "In the early days of the dynasty, there were divisions and brigades, but now they have been abandoned for a long time, and I have set the whole army of more than 50,000 people, which has exceeded the number of soldiers under the jurisdiction of the general army, so it is necessary to distribute it carefully;

At present, the establishment of the guard post is based on 5,600 men, while the total number of border troops and provincial troops is 5,000;

Therefore, the Dingwu Army is divided into three divisions, each with a total of more than 16,200 people, and the code names are the 1st Division, the 2nd Division, and the 3rd Division.

There are brigades, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, squads and other levels below the division, and the non-commissioned officers should keep in mind that for soldiers and generals, they should focus on the people and the people, and it is your duty to protect the family and defend the country.

The court has no money, we have to pay the salary of the military army by Ben Bo himself, Ben Bo hopes that the soldiers raised by his money are not a lazy soldier, besides, Ben Bo is not a good man and a woman, you don't have to worry about taking Ben Bo's money, Ben Bo will not talk to you and do it;

The drill of our Dingwu Army is not as good as the previous guard drill, and the recruits are trained for three months, and there are only three subjects, namely running, standing in military posture and queue training," Chen Cao looked at the people in the school with a smile: "Hehe, don't think it's simple, it's the entire Nanjing Right Guard who is responsible for training, if anyone dares to steal chickens and play tricks, the military law will be merciless." ”

Nanjing Army Academy is located not far from Nanjing Youwei, close to Jubao Mountain, all cement building, because of Chen Cao's proposal, now Li Maocai has been able to use steel bars to join and build the house into a two-story building, which is also the biggest limit.

Because it has just begun, the construction of the academy is still in progress, but the classes are still in progress.

There are three classes in the first class, 30 people in each class, the teaching is mainly miscellaneous, supplemented by Confucianism, the reason why Confucianism is added is because Chen Cao wants to make these people literate, because Mr. Teaching is used to teaching from the Three Character Classic, and Chen Cao does not let them teach at all, so that these people can not adapt to it at the beginning.

In the first class, Chen Cao was standing on the podium to teach the use of muskets and the operation of cannons.

There was the only female student in the class, the oldest of all the students, fifteen years old, and she was also slim, Hu Yanjia, the daughter of Hu Yanqing, the deputy commander of the Third Division of the newly organized armed army.

Women can't come out and show their heads, that's the nature of this era, plus there are a lot of small feet, no one is willing to get their daughters to study in the school, if it weren't for Hu Yanqing, who was a hundred households in the right guard at the time, saw the opportunity and sent his eldest daughter to the school to set a precedent, otherwise he would not be able to mix with the position of deputy division commander when the new army was established.

"The new musket being developed in the military workshop must have all known a little, the first finished gun has been made, what we have to do now is to develop a new type of bullet, but there is a key point, the cartridge case of the new bullet needs to be made of copper, all students know that copper is used by the imperial court to make coins in my Ming Dynasty, if it is used for ****, the imperial court will definitely not allow it."

Chen Cao held the whip in his hand and pointed to the rough blackboard: "So, let's open up the road and pick up what we need from other places." ”

The age of the students is over twelve years old, and most of the students in the first class are between the ages of thirteen and fourteen, except for Hu Yanjia, at this time, some students asked: "Uncle, a few days ago, the teacher brought the musket you said, and gave us a detailed explanation of the principle of using the musket, but the students are a little unclear, and I want to ask the uncle to solve their doubts." ”

Chen Cao said with interest: "Say." ”

"The students of the Yin pattern carving feel that there is a problem."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Cao was even more interested, he was a gunmaker in his previous life, graduated from a university of technology, although he was not a high-achieving student, but he was exposed to national defense equipment, because of the equipment and technology of this era, he could only do this, but the wisdom of people in ancient times was high, and he could definitely create a new way to come out.

"Oh," Chen Cao looked at the kid with a smile: "Get up and speak, you explain to me how there is a problem." ”

"Boy is not talented, a few days ago, the master taught the method of Yin pattern carving, the student wanted to come and went to the workshop to ask the master of casting, plus the officers of the right guard who came to give a lecture, the student summed up a conclusion, that is, the current flintlock pistol will reach a peak in the barrel after thirty rounds, and it must be cooled to use, but time waits for no one on the battlefield."

Chen Cao couldn't imagine that this kid would still say the word 'peak', thinking that his teaching was definitely on the right track, or that there was such a smart person who could understand this meaning: "Well, you are very right, then according to your understanding, how should the Yin pattern be carved?" ”
