Chapter 23 Volunteering
ps: Please collect it, please support o(╥﹏╥)o...
In the afternoon, a sharp sound of suona suddenly sounded in the camp on the west side of Zhifu Island, followed by a series of sharp military whistles and rapid footsteps.
About a thousand years old, Yi Yong, wearing a warm cotton coat, with a hat that is familiar to the future generations, and carrying swords and guns, rushed out of the dormitory one after another, and then quickly stood in a small snow. During the whole team, except for the sound of footsteps and the slight sound of swords and guns colliding, no soldier made a sound, standing with his guns in his arms, allowing the sea breeze to blow the fine snow on his face.
Zhang Kui, who has become a team official, stood at the top of the team with his head held high and his chest held high.
After Zheng Sen's return, his status was greatly impacted. The hundreds of wounded soldiers who followed Zheng Sen back to Zhifu Island were counted as one of them, and they were all his powerful competitors.
It’s just that Zheng Sen did not treat him badly when he was rectifying the troops in accordance with the new army given by Zheng Zhilong.
Now, there are only two thousand brave men in the entire Zhifu Island, divided into eight teams to train for 50,000 points, and a combat battalion and a reserve will be formed in the future. The former will follow Zheng Sen to the north, while the latter will suppress the entire Zhifu Island after the former leaves.
Zhang Kui is surrounded by his biggest competitor in Xiying - Wang Dalei, who has recovered. He was born in Jizhen. He never expected that he could still operate in time when he was middle-aged.
When he was thrown into a dark house in Tianjin, he thought he was going to die. He was desperate and followed his accomplices to join Master Zheng. However, he didn't want to make it right away. His life on Zhifu Island was more comfortable than Ji Town. No matter what he had eaten, drink, living, or even the money he had, it was better than Ji Town.
More importantly, with his extraordinary martial arts and ten years of experience in struggling on the battlefield, he actually became a team official. He was accompanied by 250 brothers.
Then everyone's treatment is higher than that of the servants of the officials and men, except for the military preparations.
In the Ming army, those who could support 250 servants under their command were even guerrillas with family foundation as support, and the gang generals were nothing more than that.
Of course, Master Zheng’s training is much better than that in Jizhen.
That is no longer a small fucking for three days and a big fucking for five days. It is a daily fucking for every day, practice performances every day, without any obstacles to wind and snow!
Looking at his team sideways, a few people in their clothes are strode over, and the middle one is Zheng Sen, the eldest son Zheng.
And where his sight could not reach, Zeng Ying and Shen Tingyang were staring at the four brave teams in front of him.
From the sound of the war horn to the gathering of thousands of brave men, the short time, the neat team, and the energy of brave men, the two were shocked by it.
"What a hero, a hero, I can't compare to the model soldiers!" Zeng Ying's face was full of smiles.
Shen Tingyang also clapped his hands and praised: "Performing orders and being energetic, it is indeed an elite soldier."
After praise, he said to Zeng Ying again: "When the young master of the Zheng family returned from Tianjin, he was determined to prepare his troops and horses. He wanted to work with his father to go north next year and make a decision to avenge his hatred. He thought it was a joke. Now he was shocked when he saw it. With the dozens of wounded soldiers he brought back, he trained a powerful team in several months, including genius genius and genius genius!"
The news that Zheng Zhilong was ordered to go north had long been spread to Denglai. Otherwise, there would be another strong soldier on Zhifu Island. Do you think Zeng Ying can still sit still?
It is one thing that the Zheng family has countless troops in Fujian, but it is another thing that has an elite force in Denglai, which is just a stone's throw away from Beijing and Tianjin.
Zheng Sen naturally knew that he was being watched by Zeng Ying and Chen Tingyang, but he also intended to show his skills to the two, and the command was loud:
"stand at attention!"
“Look right.”
"Look forward!"
...
The entire team ran around the university field for five laps to warm up. This is a scene on Zhifu Island and is also the most stringent requirement of the new army.
Physical strength and endurance must be practiced.
Then this afternoon's exercise, training military postures, training queues, training military exercises... The sound of footsteps, shouts of killing, commands, and even shouts filled the entire playground. Even the snow spots were swept in the cold wind, which would be melted by the heat on the school ground.
"Preparation!" Zhang Kui shouted loudly in the corner of the playground. Both of his two rows of bird gunmen stood at the right side with a 65-degree angle.
The Lumi gun weighing seven or eight pounds was held in the hands of the bird gunners as if nothing had happened. They ate well and dressed warmly, and they had been trained for several months. If they still couldn't hold a Lumi gun weighing seven or eight pounds, it would be a joke.
Zheng Zhilong, the righteous man in Denglai, did not fully equip them with turtledove-legged guns, but only one-third of them, and the rest were Lumi guns.
Compared with the large-caliber turtle dove-legged gun, the Lumi gun has a much smaller diameter and naturally lacks lethality. If it is combined with crude and inferior medicine powder, it may deliberately add less powder because of worrying about the blow-off, and the projectiles with a diameter that does not match the barrel wall, and they may not be able to wear the Tartars' armor if they are shot out.
It's like a joke.
But if it is granulated powder, quantitative charge, and qualified projectiles, what is the lethality of the Lumi gun?
Its predecessor was a tribute sent by the Ottomans to the Ming Dynasty. The Ottomans' enemies were Europeans. If the Rumi gun was really powerless against the iron monster, could it still be popular in the Ottoman army? The European Knight Plate Armor was much stronger than the Qing Dynasty cotton armor.
Now, the Lumi gun is equipped with fixed ammunition and characteristics bayonets, sleeve bayonets, and tenon-type ones that are more useful, but springs need to be used. High-quality and high-quality springs are said to have a lot of bayonets and imported from Belgium.
Therefore, the tenon-type bayonet is still too far away from Zheng Jun now.
The four-foot-five-inch Lumi gun, after adding a bayonet of more than one foot long, was nearly six feet long, not as long as a spear, but not shorter.
Therefore, the shotgun soldiers in the righteous do not need another waist knife.
"Note that you use force on your heel, move your center of gravity forward quickly, push your feet hard, and step to activate leg strength, waist strength, arm strength, lift the gun with your right hand two inches below the right chest, rotate outside your left arm and extend forward quickly, and prick!"
"Kill!" The voices of sixty people gathered into one sound, and sixty bayonets with cold light suddenly stabbed out, and the momentum was indeed terrifying.
Zeng Ying and Chen Tingyang were not mediocre people, and soon noticed the existence of bayonets.
"What is this?"
"Will placing the blade at the muzzle block the shooting?"
Zeng Ying asked one after another.
He and Chen Tingyang are naturally following him, and Zheng Zhipeng can be said to be inseparable from the inch. Hearing the sound, he replied: "It's so good for Zhongcheng to know that this thing was created by my eldest brother, called the sleeve bayonet. It can be installed on the bird gun, which is better than the waist knife and will not hinder the bird gun shooting."
Among the brave men of Zhifu Island, three-fifths were shotgun soldiers. In addition to the two teams holding Lumi guns, another team used the turtledove-legged guns.
The latter is heavy, and when shooting, you must use a fork stick as a stand, but you cannot use a bayonet. However, the turtledove-legged gun is powerful, and ordinary shield cars cannot be guarded against.
"Miscellaneous plan, wonderful plan. Zheng Jun's move is very wonderful."
Chen Tingyang praised loudly, with this thing in hand, the bird gun and the fire stick could no longer be connected.
"It's really wonderful." Zeng Ying was happy.
Although he had never led the army to fight, he had heard of the performance of the bird gun soldiers on the battlefield. He would shoot the gun first whenever he was lured by the enemy. This was certainly because of the inadequate training, but Zeng Ying seemed to be because the bird gun soldiers were afraid because they were unsure. It would take time to reload the bullets after the bird gun was shot, otherwise, after the enemy approached, the bird gun would be worse than a fire stick.
In this way, the combination of cold weapons and bird guns has not been done in the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Shizhen made a bold attempt when imitating the Lumi gun,... There is a steel knife at the end of the bed, and if the enemy approaches, it can be used as a sabre.
But this method is not practical and has ceased to exist until now.
Now Zheng Jun's move is a win-win situation.
At the end of the first lunar month, the climate in winter is still in the winter, dripping water turns into ice, and the air turns into frost. The rivers are still frozen. After all, this is the season when the Sutai Canal can freeze three feet. However, the volunteers in the school are practicing enthusiastically.
They have no reason not to work hard when they eat well and wear warmly, get high salary, and have high pensions.
"Push the gun hard towards the enemy with both arms. Use your left hand to grasp the direction. At the same time, use the pushing force of the right foot and the thrust force of the waist to make the body protrude forward..."
Whether it is the Zheng Group or the veterans on Zhifu Island, some of them are good at using guns. They hold the Lumi gun with a bayonet, and in a short while, they have summarized a set of assassination training.
If there is a bayonet on the bird gun, there is only one stab, which is much less varied than the big gun.
"The left calf drives the thigh forward and kicks a big step forward. When kicking, the soles of the foot should not be more than two punches from the ground. Don't lift them high. If they are high, they can't change their strength quickly. When they are stabbed, the left foot will hit the ground and slide forward naturally..."
"Naturally, be natural. Carry the whole process into your own bones. If you do this action on purpose, it will slow you down."
"Fast, ruthless, accurate. The thrust of both arms, the thrust of the waist and the thrust of the right foot combine to stab the enemy..."
While Zhang Kui said, he walked into the queue, checked the foot positions, legs shapes of the volunteers, and the angle of the gunshots after the assassination, and corrected them one by one until they were satisfied before leaving the queue.
His eyes floated to the front of the left and met Wang Dalei's eyes unexpectedly.
