Chapter 676
Li Dingguo used to be a bandit, and later he saw grassland battles with Hong Chengchou. These battles are characterized by high mobility, and the performance of cavalry is very important.

Of course, the vast land is rich and vast, and there are various terrains, such as the plains in the north, jungles in the south, mountains in the west, water villages in the east, etc. It can be said that the combat methods and methods of each terrain are different.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's plan was to select a few places to establish other junior military halls according to regional characteristics after the model of the capital's primary military halls matured, and to teach the unique fighting methods and methods of each region.

Of course, some of the characteristics of regional combat that he knows are mainly those learned from all sources of information such as film and television networks in later generations. He will write them down for reference in these military preparation halls, but more is still necessary to be familiar with the local combat mode The local army is summarized.

When there are more primary military halls and they mature, Emperor Chongzhen will build an intermediate military hall.The focus of this intermediate military equipment hall is the large area, which is to teach combat on two or more types of terrain. After all, some places have complex terrain, not just one type.The trainees will be selected from the primary military equipment hall, and only those with excellent grades or outstanding military exploits in the army are eligible for further study.

After these are mature, a high-level military equipment hall will be established in the capital.Emperor Chongzhen and Zu Dashou talked about this high-level military equipment hall at the beginning, but the principal of this advanced military equipment hall will be held by Emperor Chongzhen himself, which is equivalent to a Jinshi among scholars. .

At this time, after listening to Li Dingguo's words, Emperor Chongzhen encouraged him a few words, and then said to Mao Yuanyi: "Bi Qing, the director of the Military Weapons Bureau, will bring some good things. It is an improved model of this flintlock, and we need to wait a little longer." Please tell me about the training of the fusiliers first!"

When Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou who accompanied him heard it, they couldn't help being surprised.An improved model of the flintlock, what is it?Has a more powerful musket been invented?

Thinking of this, they were a little curious about what kind of flintlock the director of the Ordnance Bureau would bring.Mao Yuanyi suppressed his curiosity, took a flintlock gun from the personal guard, and demonstrated his training to Emperor Chongzhen while demonstrating it.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had reviewed the standard training process for flintlock guns, and even put forward some suggestions for improvement, so that this standard process can be guaranteed to be the optimal process for the use of flintlock guns, including fixed-loaded ammunition with paper shells, Segmented shooting and more.As for the ratio of gunpowder, granulation, etc., at this time, they have already been mastered, and the ratio is strictly controlled by the Military Weapons Bureau according to the optimal effect. In the past, the quality control was not strict, but now this will be handled by the Military Weapons Bureau. Two inspections with the Xinjun side, and direct feedback to Yuqian, can guarantee the quality.

"...Your Majesty, I have tested this three-stage burst shooting according to three different modes. Is it better to rotate the flintlock gun, or to rotate the flintlock gun and the soldiers together? From the preliminary test results From the looks of it, to achieve the best effect, the latter is better." Mao Yuanyi talked eloquently in front of Emperor Chongzhen.

"This is mainly the flintlock guns of our Ming Dynasty, and there are subtle differences between each one. If it is just the rotation of the flintlock guns, the amount of gunpowder and the size of the lead bullet will all affect the final shooting effect, and the flintlock guns If the guns and soldiers are rotated together, since the soldiers are familiar with their flintlock guns and have prepared the most appropriate charge and lead bullets in advance, it can be guaranteed in detail..."

Emperor Chongzhen often said in front of his officials, especially in places like the New Army, Military Weapons Bureau, and Bingzhan Bureau, that practice is the only criterion for testing truth.As the Chief Instructor of the New Army, Mao Yuanyi can be said to be one of the ministers who had the most contact with Emperor Chongzhen, so he naturally acted in accordance with the holy will.

This is not flattery!For those who do practical things, they can naturally understand that this sentence really expresses the true meaning of doing things.With the support of leaders, it is natural to be willing to practice.

After saying this, Mao Yuanyi changed the subject again: "However, the requirements in "Ji Xiao's New Book" are different. It is necessary to select muskets with the same muzzle specifications as possible in advance to form a team. Shooting, and full-time loading in the back row, familiarity, practice makes perfect, in actual combat, it may be better than the current training method of the minister!"

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the three rows of soldiers standing in front of him, and asked thoughtfully: "You mean that the flintlock guns currently purchased are not enough for you to choose the flintlock guns that meet the requirements?" Gun, has such a training summary been conducted on the basis currently available?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!" Mao Yuanyi knew that she didn't need to worry, the emperor came from a master of this way.

Upon hearing the reply, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly and nodded.The manufacture of flintlock guns takes much longer than matchlock guns.At present, the Arms Bureau is trying assembly line operation, but has not completed the improvement of the whole process, so it cannot provide enough flintlock guns for Mao Yuanyi to choose.

However, this is not a problem. The new army will be formally equipped with flintlock troops. After the Gaizhou war ends next year, there will be plenty of time.There is also the matter of hand-made, the flintlock guns made by different craftsmen are quite different, and Bi Maokang should try to solve it later.

Mao Yuanyi continued to explain some of the conclusions he had obtained during the training, and after finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "These are valuable experiences, and you should record them down."

"Wei Chen understands!" Mao Yuanyi himself has written military books, so how could he not take care to record what he has practiced.But the emperor confessed, so naturally he had to respond immediately.

At this moment, Bi Maokang, director of the Armament Bureau, hurried over with a servant.Everyone turned their heads to look at him, especially generals like Mao Yuanyi and Zu Dashou, their eyes were wide open, as if they wanted to see flowers from Bi Maokang.

I saw the famous servant behind Bi Maokang, holding a long wooden box in his hand. Judging from the appearance, it should be a flintlock gun inside.It's just that the box is covered, and I don't know what it looks like. What is the power of the improved model that the emperor said?

As for Emperor Chongzhen, he naturally knew what Bi Maokang brought.After Bi Maokang finished seeing the ceremony, he ordered Zu Dashou behind him and said, "Bring the arquebus soldiers selected by Qing over here, and compete with Mao Qing's fusiliers!"

If it was possible, Zu Dashou really didn't want to do it, it's not clear that it was to serve as a foil for Mao Yuanyi!But the emperor gave the order, and he had no choice but to turn around and order a general behind him to go.

　Thanks for the reward from North Industries Corporation!
