Chapter Twenty-Eight

After appeaseing Ma Shiying, Wang Fu was in trouble for the recruitment of the new army again. Well, if he really couldn't, he could only wait until he got rid of Liu Liangzuo and others.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The shouts of thousands of people filled the entire schoolyard. Wang Fu arranged Yan Yingyuan's three thousand personal soldiers in the southeast corner not far from the palace. This place was originally a schoolyard, but it slowly became deserted. Wang Fu ordered people to level it up, and then demolished some of the palaces and built a military camp with their materials.

When the palace was first demolished, everyone thought that the emperor could not help but flip the palace, and no one paid much attention. Anyway, the emperor used the money from the inner treasury, so after the completion, Yan Yingyuan and three thousand people lived in. Only then did everyone realize that the military camp was built here.

The school ground, which was originally planned to be 10,000 people, seemed a little empty at this moment. Wang Fu and a group of guards stood quietly aside, watching Yan Yingyuan with his personal army training. Since the three thousand Yulin Guards moved in, Wang Fu has to take time to watch every day. When these Yulin Guards saw the emperor beside him, even the most unruly people trained to work hard.

At this time, the Yulin Guards were no longer in the image of disarraying clothes and chaotic weapons when they first entered the city. The Yulin Guards wore uniforms of the Ming Dynasty and stood on the school ground. They all saw red eyes, and white feathers on their heads trembled. In order to distinguish them from ordinary military forces, Wang Fu ordered each Yulin Guard to have a white feather on his head.

Due to his identity, Wang Fu could not have been able to work with these people to build relationships. He could only come over and see him for a while every day, and for the first time he gave everyone three months of military pay, with a minimum of fifteen taels of silver per person. When he paid the military pay, he even experienced it himself, striving to deliver the military pay to even the youngest soldier. When he paid the military pay, Wang Fu was so tired that his hands were sore.

When they were in the army, they were paid by the emperor's personal army. However, knowing that it was one thing, it was another thing to see the emperor paying the military salary to his hands. These men, who were originally just ordinary peasants, were flushed with excitement. This honor had exceeded the heavy silver in their hands. Many people wanted to take out their hearts to express their loyalty to the emperor.

The emperor easily gained the morale of the army. Yan Yingyuan secretly admired him. Thinking of the uproar that would soon arouse, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but feel uneasy. The emperor was so wise, but the country's power was so powerful that the emperor had to use thundering means. But can his three thousand people really protect the emperor's safety?

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After a burst of fire, smoke filled the entire school field, covering up the shouts of killing from everyone just now.

Although the quality of the Ming Dynasty's firearms was not satisfactory, it is undeniable that compared to cold weapons, the power is still very huge. When fighting with nomadic peoples, the key is that the soldiers' training is relaxed. Due to the low status of military households, the few military pay and rations are often detained. The soldiers are often ineffective in dying. They are deployed early when they see the enemy rushing over and before they enter the range. The powerful firearms hit the empty space, but they are afraid of death, and the faster they die. When the enemy gets closer, the muskets in their hands have become an empty stick and can only become the target of the enemy's massacre.

However, if you train a team of musketeers who are not to be empty and fenced plains, you will definitely hate the cavalry. In the battle to defend the city, musketeers can exert several times the power. There are many firearms in the Nanjing Ordnance Office, and one of Yan Yingyuan's original subordinates is proficient in firearms. After picking and picking up, Yan Yingyuan received a thousand good-quality firearms and twenty cannons, forming a firearm unit of 1,200 people. The ratio of firearms and cold weapons in this army reached four to six.

Although Wang Fu has hundreds of years of knowledge, he has no say in how to train cold weapons. Instead of making many mistakes, it is better to give Yan Yingyuan directly. What he really cares about is how to train this firearm unit and how to train the firearm team, which was confirmed by Wang Fu and Yan Yingyuan after discussing.

Yan Yingyuan didn't agree with the emperor when he heard that the emperor wanted to discuss firearm tactics with him, thinking that it was just the emperor's whim. He only became serious when he heard the emperor say that he was very informed and finally confirmed the training plan for the musketeers.

Except for twenty cannons, the firearm battalion used all the coercive guns, abandoning those bulky three-eyed fire system, Feitian Shenxie and other messy things. The loud noise just now was exactly twenty cannons. After the cannons, the drum sounded, and the 960 musket teams advanced neatly with the drum beats.

The square array that Yulin Guard trains now is a square array of six by sixteen. Each time he fires, one hundred and sixteen muskets will sound at the same time. The cotspells are loaded slowly, and six columns are needed to maintain the continuous output of firepower.

"Stand firm!" An officer who was stepping forward raised a sword and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Seeing the movements of the commander ahead, the sound of drums that had just been stirring stopped. The steps that were moving were paused and stopped moving forward.

“The first column is ready.”

“The first column is ready.”

“The first column is ready.”

The officers in the previous head were ordered to be the starting point and repeatedly reached the ears of each soldier in the first row of the entire square formation. A clamor sounded, and the soldiers in the first row were all holding muskets, shaking the fire stick to light the fuse on the musket.

"emission!"

"emission!"

"emission!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A firecracker-like sound rang out, and a burst of smoke filled the entire musketeers, covering the musketeers' figures in the smoke.

"The first column is squatted, the second column is ready."

"emission!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"The second column is squatted, the third column is ready."

...

After six rounds, most of the school ground was filled with smoke, and the nose and ears were filled with choking smells of fire burning. But the musketeers' shooting did not stop, and the continuous sound of muskets still came from the smoke.

While Wang Fu was watching the personal military exercise, a team of cavalry walked slowly dozens of miles outside Nanjing. The cavalry looked fierce. Although after a long marching, they were covered in dust and their eyes were still sharply staring at the surroundings. Among the cavalry was a middle-aged man riding a flowery horse with a proud look.

A teahouse appeared in front of him. The middle-aged man raised his hand, and the marching cavalry suddenly stopped: "Stay on the front."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

A small team of cavalry left the team and headed towards the teahouse. After a while, the teahouse was rushing, and all the teahouses were driven out. Some teahouses who were driven out were very angry, but after seeing hundreds of cavalry standing straight outside, they were shocked and wisely left in a hurry with the fiery sun.
