"Prepare------release!"

As the command knife in the hand of the officer in front fell high, in an instant, "bang bang bang", a neat and crisp chirp of bird cannons sounded, the fire flashed, and the smoke filled the air.

In front of you, the scarecrow's wooden rake, about eight to ninety steps away, was instantly in a mess, broken and broken all over the ground.

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded.

Preliminary visual inspection shows that the score of this round of shooting is at least 70-80%, which is quite good.

At this time, the governor from the front had already stepped forward to check the results, and soon the results were reported.

"Zhang Ziqiang, excellent! Huang Liang, excellent! Li Tieshan, good! Ma Guoan, excellent..."

As the results from the front were quickly reported, some in this group of gun soldiers cheered, some raised their arms and shouted, but some were secretly sad that such a good opportunity had not been grasped.

The results are being announced in the front. Here, the governors sitting on both sides will quickly register the results. Although this is not a formal assessment, these results will be kept on file for future reference. During the subsequent promotions of the soldiers,

Play some auxiliary role.

"Boy, that's okay. You've improved a lot compared to before." Li Yuanqing glanced at Shunzi with a smile.

At this time, although the blunderbuss on Changsheng Island were already very sophisticated, they were limited by many reasons. The main reason was that the smelting technology was not developed enough and the strength of the blunderbuss tubes was not tough enough. In terms of accuracy, there would be a slight deviation.

If the accuracy of training shooting at this time can be 70 to 80%, then in wartime, especially in mobile warfare, the accuracy can be 30 to 40%, or even 20 to 30%, which is enough to cause a powerful impact on the enemy.

's killed.

The gun can be said to be the core weapon of the Changsheng Battalion. In this regard, Li Yuanqing also invested a lot of effort.

On the one hand, increase the intensity of soldiers' training so that people can become familiar with guns, and guns can also become familiar with people, so that people and guns become one and form instinct.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to continue to increase the funding and intensity of the weapons workshop in researching and creating bird guns.

In this era, the matchlock gun was actually a somewhat backward technology. As early as decades ago, in the middle and late 16th century, the French clockmaker Mahan had developed a qualified matchlock switch. Until now,

, in the French army, a large number of Suifa guns have begun to be equipped with troops.

Compared with the matchlock gun, the advantages of the suifa gun are extremely obvious, which can be said to be a leap of an era.

The Suifa device replaces the match rope, allowing the Suifa gun to adapt to more extreme climatic conditions. It is not only more accurate, but also frees the soldiers from the tedious operation process. When the soldiers perform segmental shooting, they no longer have to worry about themselves.

The match rope will still be the match rope of the companion next to it, which can make the team more compact, thus forming a greater intensive lethality.

However, due to various reasons, Li Yuanqing has not yet obtained this treasure. The key is that he does not have enough time at this time to go to Nanyang in person to fight with those white-haired ghosts. In this state, Li Yuanqing can only fight for the match rope.

The gun is made to the extreme, with thick accumulation and thin hair.

Times are developing and society is progressing.

If they want to go further and obtain more resources, Li Yuanqing and his sons in the Changsheng Camp will inevitably get entangled with the white forces in Nanyang sooner or later.

But before that, Li Yuanqing must take root deeply and firmly in southern Liaoning to create more space and accumulation for future plans.

At this time, hearing Li Yuanqing's praise, Shunzi's face was not too happy. Instead, he was a little annoyed. He said with great reluctance: "These bastards, they really don't give me any face. Listen.

He said that the accuracy rate of shooting at the small hole has reached 90%."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

Kong Youde is simply obsessed with firearms. Even after returning to the island, this guy would spend time in the military camp almost every day, eating with guns and sleeping with guns. In addition, this guy does have some talent in this area, even though he is just starting out.

It's later than Shunzi, but the training results are much better than Shunzi's.

Comparatively speaking, Shunzi can only be regarded as a middle-class talent in this regard.

There's nothing particularly outstanding, but there aren't too many shortcomings either, it's just average.

However, it is also a good thing to have the example of Kong Youde in front of you. At least, you can suppress this kid's tail and don't have to worry about his nostrils pointing upward.

"What's wrong? Are you not convinced?" Li Yuanqing laughed.

Shunzi glanced at Li Yuanqing, a little speechless, and after a while he said: "Brother, Xiao Kong started much later than me. Damn it, he was actually outclassed."

With that said, Shunzi yelled: "You bastards, you are really embarrassing me. Let's continue practicing in the afternoon. Who dares to be lazy? I don't have an eye for my military stick!!"

Looking at the somewhat furious Shunzi, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

There is no war now, so we have to find a way for these men to vent their anger.

After watching the cannon soldiers' drill here for nearly an hour, Li Yuanqing pulled Shunzi, who was still a little unwilling, to the training camp of the spearmen.

Shunzi had been promoted to a guerrilla general at this time. Although he was still under the rule of Xu Heizi of the 3000 Corps, Xu Heizi had been promoted to a staff general. His more tasks were the planning of Changsheng Island and the strengthening and improvement of engineering work.

The battle sequence of the Three Thousand Corps is basically under the direct command of Shunzi.

Although this boy has not yet been promoted to the rank of general of the First Army, he is actually in control of the battle order of the 3000th Corps. He can be regarded as young and promising.

At this time, with the Battle of Zhenjiang, more than 5,000 auxiliary troops were incorporated into the combat force, and the actual total number of combat troops under Li Yuanqing's command had approached 20,000.

If we divide them according to the Qian Corps, they are already a bit "small in clothes but big in body".

The Ming Dynasty's actual establishment of thousands of generals was equivalent to the "regiment" level establishment in later generations.

But at this time, the Thousand Corps of the Changsheng Battalion was already equivalent to a super-large "reinforcement regiment".

The smaller Thousand Corps has a size of less than 2,000 men. The larger one, like Duan Xiliang's Thousand Corps, has an actual strength of almost 3,000 men.

Li Yuanqing originally wanted to make major improvements to this, and even directly adopted the military organization of later generations. The Changsheng Battalion also had enough qualifications to change the name from "battalion" to "army".

But after careful consideration, Li Yuanqing gave up this idea.

As the saying goes, 'If the name is not correct, the words will not be correct'.

Although Li Yuanqing had already become the general of the country and the chief military officer of Changsheng Island at this time, at his core, he was just a warrior and a low-ranking bastard.

Although the establishment of the Qian Corps seems to be very small and cannot accommodate so many "big bodies", fundamentally, there will be no actual deviation in whether officers should be promoted or promoted, and the treatment corresponding to the corresponding level will not have any actual deviation. Although the name of the Qian Corps is

It's a bit small, but the internal planning of the Changsheng Camp is strict, so it won't affect the combat effectiveness at all.

The only flaw is that the name of the Thousand Corps, which is supposed to be a "battalion", sounds stingy.

But as the saying goes, 'Build walls high and store grain widely.'

Instead of being targeted by the big guys and 'mad dogs' just for the sake of mere fame, how can we be down-to-earth, step by step, and work steadily?

After all, Governor Yuan has not yet ascended to power. His majesty is comparable to the sword that destroyed the universe. He has not yet cut it off. The order of the Ming Dynasty is still stable and has not been destroyed. He is far from becoming the most popular figure just for the sake of mere fame.

It's the time to stand out.

On the other hand, in terms of government affairs, there is an urgent need for a more appropriate establishment specification.

While I was thinking about it, a row of one hundred and twenty spearmen in front was ready.

"Tiger!"

"Tiger tiger tiger!"

"kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Under the shouts of the officers, this row of spearmen was like rockets taking off, rushing toward the target dozens of steps in front of them.

Although they were not many in number, their uniform posture, firm steps, and persistent gazes made the earth tremble as if they were stepping on them.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, tapping the chair next to him with his fingers, following the rhythm of the spearmen with the rhythm of his fingers.

Compared with the continuous shooting of cannon soldiers, pike soldiers are undoubtedly more ornamental.

This kind of overwhelming momentum can easily make people's blood surge and their blood boil.

"Stab to the right-----stab!"

Following the officers' final shouts, the pikemen roared one after another and stabbed the bright spearheads in their hands fiercely into the target in front of them.

Suddenly, the scarecrow target, which was supported by a wooden frame, shattered into pieces and was a mess.

This is more intuitive than the long-distance shooting of the gun soldiers, and one can clearly feel the unparalleled pleasure of the spear tip piercing the armor, and then directly piercing the Tatar's body.

At this time, the results at the front also came out, and the governor shouted loudly, "Li Changbai, excellent. Zhang Daniu, excellent. Ma Dun, excellent. Zhao Ahuang, excellent..."

Shunzi accepted the performance of the pikemen much more easily than the gunmen. He couldn't hide the smile on his face and secretly looked at Li Yuanqing, waiting for Li Yuanqing's praise.

These spearmen like him are the elites from various ministries mobilized to guard the core area of ​​Nanxinkou.

In the Changsheng Camp, even Shunzi, a quasi-general, and soldiers like Duan Xiliang, the commander-in-chief of an army, are mobilized very frequently.

As short as half a year, as long as one year, or a little more than a year, officers and some soldiers of each department will be rotated.

With the experience of later generations, Li Yuanqing knew very well that the most important way to control the army was to control the most critical personnel and financial rights.

Even though the Changsheng Camp was built by him himself, these officers all followed him from the grassroots and were promoted by him.

But human life is not a machine. How is it possible that if we go on for years and months, we will not form a mountain?

Taizu once said, ‘Without factions within the party, there are all kinds of strange things’.

The most direct way to avoid the emergence of these mountains in the army is to use systems to form restrictions.

The irregular large-scale personnel transfers make everyone have a way forward, but they cannot accurately judge the next moment. As a result, their most loyal master can only be Li Yuanqing.

Of course, on a larger level, the formation of hills is also inevitable. Li Yuanqing also needs such hills to balance the interests of all parties and achieve absolute control over his Changsheng Island.
