Chapter 16 Training

"This, this..." Yang Lin could hardly speak. Although the power of the mezzanine was great, it was extremely troublesome to shoot. Because he was afraid that the fuse would ignite the fire when loading the medicine. He had to extinguish the fuse every time he fired, and he could only blow the fuse again after loading the ammunition.

The musket in front of me has made at least three major improvements than the mesh gun. The biggest improvement is naturally that there is no fuse. When loading the mesh gun, only one hand can move, and a bracket must be given to the mesh gun. Now this flintlock gun does not need a bracket at all. These two places alone can save almost half of the time.

The second improvement is naturally the paper shell bullet, which can just complete the ignition and shooting, saving soldiers time to distribute medicine, and load the bullets and fire together, saving time to retake.

The third is the linen that is almost soaked in grease. When there is no linen, you have to bring a hammer when loading the medicine, use a poke bar to hammer the fire and hammer the bullet to the bottom of the barrel. Now there is an extra linen. Because the grease is smooth, just use a poke bar to slide to the bottom. Moreover, the linen has a sealing effect, which not only saves time to hammer the ammunition, but also saves the hammer and reduces the weight carried by soldiers.

"I'll try it." Yang Lin couldn't help but say.

"General Yang, please!" The middle-aged man handed the musket to Yang Lin.

Yang Lin took the musket and immediately followed the steps he had just taken the middle-aged man. Although he was unfamiliar, Yang Lin calculated silently after firing the bullet, at least twice as fast as when he used a medley.

Yang Lin was shocked. This was the first time he used it. If he had a little training, he believed that the speed would be faster. If he used this kind of musket, wouldn't one person be used as two or three people in the past? Then his five hundred subordinates could be replaced with this kind of musket, and the previous two hundred spearmen would not use it at all.

"What do you call this adult?"

The middle-aged man was wearing coarse cloth clothes and there were some stains on it. Yang Lin originally thought that the middle-aged man was just an ordinary craftsman, but the ordinary craftsman had no such great power and was responsible for handing over such advanced muskets to him. In his tone, it seemed that this was still the entire inventory of the Military Weapon Bureau.

"I am Chen Rui." The middle-aged man said lightly.

"Chen Rui, Yulin Guard Chen Rui General Chen." Yang Lin exclaimed. Before he joined Yulin Guard, he heard that Yulin Guard had a general Chen who liked to develop firearms and ran to the military weapon bureau every day without being in the barracks. After hearing this, Yang Lin was dissatisfied and thought that General Chen was not doing his job properly. However, if this gun was developed by General Chen, it could be said that he would add 100,000 troops to the court out of thin air. He quickly saluted: "I will meet Mr. Chen."

"General Yang doesn't have to be too polite. You can click these things. I heard that you will set off tomorrow. Unfortunately, there is no time to train, so you can only walk and train on the road."

"Don't worry, Lord Chen, there is enough time on the road. If such a good gun cannot show its power, the last general will be ashamed." He casually ordered a personal soldier beside him: "Hurry, pass my order, and everyone will come to the Military Weapon Bureau immediately."

"yes!"

The personal soldiers hurried down, and Yang Lin couldn't help asking: "Mr. Chen, I don't know how many guns can be produced by the Military Weapons Bureau every month?"

Chen Rui shook his head and smiled without saying a word. Yang Lin realized that the production quantity of this kind of gun must be a secret of the court and would not be easily disclosed.

"stand at attention."

With a "bang", the neat soldiers standing in three rows stood side by side, looking at Chen Rui in front of him without blinking an eye.

"The gun is on the shoulder!" Chen Rui roared and held the musket up, leaned against his shoulder, and the barrel was facing the sky straight.

"Crazy." The dozens of soldiers standing in front of Chen Rui also quickly followed, but they were a little busy, and only a few people yelled out in a low voice.

"What, it's dumb, I'll tell you to yell out? Come again." Chen Rui put down the musket angrily, and the rest of the faces were filled with embarrassment.

Yang Lin's subordinates had already arrived, and he heard Chen Rui say that this new type of musket training is completely different from a mesh gun. It is necessary to use another training method to exert the power of the new type of musket. However, they have no time left, so they can only choose dozens of people to teach them in a hurry several times, and they will have to rely on their own hard training in the future.

There are other training methods for this kind of musket. Yang Lin liked and was surprised. What was surprised was that there was a new training method even though the musket had just been invented. When asked about Chen Rui, Chen Rui refused to reveal that Yang Lin had to pick out twenty-nine people and he wanted to form a column of three columns, each with ten people, and while others were carrying things, he should practice it several times.

After explaining the components of the musket and the shooting steps in detail to these people, Chen Rui began to practice with them.

This flintlock gun is indeed very different from a flintlock gun. Just from the lineup, for the continuity of shooting, the flintlock gun requires six rows, the flintlock gun only needs three rows, and the flintlock gun requires one bracket, while the flintlock gun does not. In order to prevent accidents from being accidentally touched by a companion musket when the flintlock gun is ignited, the brackets must be spaced apart a certain distance, which causes sparse queues. Soldiers using flintlock guns can be able to stand shoulder to shoulder, and the shooting density is greatly increased, making it difficult for the enemy to rush over.

"Do it again, listen to me, gun on your shoulder!"

"The gun is on the shoulder!" This time, the thirty people finally yelled together and completed the whole movement at the same time.

Chen Rui nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, put down the gun, do it again, and put the gun on the shoulder!"

"The gun is on the shoulder!"

"Open the iron and half-open the fire!"

"Open the iron and half-open the fire!"

Everyone did a good job this time. After all, they had trained with a combroach for a while. Although the flintlock gun is very different from the combroach, the firing parts are basically the same, but one flint rope is missing, so everyone will not make mistakes.

"Take a bullet!"

"Digging bullets!" There was no problem with this step, and everyone quickly took out bullets from the bag around their waists.

"Bit the bullet open!"

"Bit the bullet open!"

"Boom, wow." A strange scream came, but it turned out that a small half of people bit the bullet shell back. They were going to bite the tail, but they bit the head. What they bite in their mouths was not the bullet, but the fire. The black fire fell into their mouths and was bitter and astringent. This bullet was a waste, of course, it was just a waste of fire.

"Let me reiterate, what you want to bite is the tip of the shell." Chen Rui's face was expressionless. This was only the first time. It was inevitable that someone would make mistakes. The key is that you should not make mistakes on the battlefield.

Those who bit the wrong person quickly spit out the bitter fire in their mouths and took out the bullets again.

"Bit the bullet open!"

"Bit the bullet open!"

This time, no one got the wrong order. In fact, the tail of the shell was specially made into a pointed shape, which could be identified without eyes. As long as it was not too nervous, it would not be wrong.

"Turn the fire!"

This time, no one could speak because everyone was holding a bullet in their mouths, and Chen Rui was the same, and an assistant next to him gave the order instead.

This time someone made a mistake. Someone nervously turned his fingers and poured all the fire. As a fire, it only needs a small part of it. Most of it must be used as a launching medicine. Chen Rui did not ask someone to do it again and continued the following movements.

"Close the ignition pool!"

"Popular fire yao into the barrel!"

“Take out the linen!”

"Package the bullets, pay attention to the tip facing up and the round facing down!"

"Recharge!"

Put the bullet into the barrel and everyone's mouths are freed again.

"Pull the bar and press down!"

"Pull the bar and press down!"

"Take out the poke bar!"

"Take out the poke bar!"

"aim!"

"aim!"

"shooting!"

"shooting!"

With a loud "bang." The whole yard was filled with smoke. Chen Rui had already avoided it, otherwise he would have been turned into a sieve all over his body. The targets dozens of meters away were full of dense holes.

"Cleaning the barrel!"

"Cleaning the barrel!"

OK, all the movements have been completed, now do the second time: "Gun on the shoulder!"

"The gun is on the shoulder!"

...

Yang Lin and others were almost hoarse in their throats, but they were very excited. After this set of actions, they really exerted the best power of this new type of musket. The density of personnel arrangement was twice as large as the firing speed was two to three times faster, and the range of bullets was twenty to thirty steps further.

After teaching them three times, Chen Rui had already left them and walked by himself. Yang Lin and others had not yet finished their work, and immediately sent the guns and ammunition. They were training at the Military Weapons Bureau until it was dark that everyone dragged their tired figures and returned to the barracks with their ammunition and guns.

More than a dozen large ships were sailing and struggling to sail on the Yangtze River. Yang Lin stood at the bow of the ship, beside him was a tall Portuguese. It was the leader of this mercenary army, Buga Road, which had some potential for Tang Monk. At this time, Buga Road did not brag in front of Yang Lin as before, but instead looked at Yang Lin with a flattering look. That kind of gaze was like a poor puppy asking his owner for food.

"The gun is on the shoulder!"

"The gun is on the shoulder!"

"Open the iron and half-open the fire!"

"Open the iron and half-open the fire!"

...

The Ming army stood on the side of the ship, repeating the actions they learned yesterday over and over again, while the Portuguese on the same boat looked at the Ming army's training with their eyes glowing. Their eyes were not concealed and they wanted to have such a gun, and their previous arrogance was completely gone.

"Mr. Yang, General Yang, please match the remaining muskets to my subordinates. I promise that as long as I have this musket, my subordinates will definitely work hard to kill the enemy. Even the leader of the barbarian can take down the head of the chopped ear stick. Oh my God, that's a whole thousand taels of silver."

Since seeing the flintlock rifle and understanding its power, Bugalu has been pestering Yang Lin, especially when he saw Yang Lin's subordinates already training with a new gun.

"Oh my God, the incredible Orientals, they were not the ancestors who invented Fire, so they invented such guns without fuses." Bugalu had already thought of his subordinates with a flintlock gun, standing on the top of the city to shoot at the barbarians. A barbarian costs ten taels of silver, and an ordinary officer doubles the number. If it is Baylor, the general would have hundreds of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels of taels

In Buga Road's view, these barbarians were no different from African black slaves, and even black slaves were stronger, but they were still shot by the flints everywhere. Killing ten people a day is a little bit of a matter of money. This money is simply easy to make. Of course, the first question is that his subordinates all replaced with this kind of flintlock rifle.

As mercenaries, their first firearm was built with their own. Of course, the Ming Dynasty was responsible for their ammunition and food supply. If the musket was broken, they would also be responsible for replacing them so that their ammunition would not be short of them. However, although their firearm was almost the best comb, compared with the power of the flintlock, it was simply slag. It was three times the firing rate. It was terrible to think about it. After changing to a pointed warhead, the range was even further than that of the combhead. Of course, if the same warhead was used, the firing distance between the two was almost the same.

This time, Yang Lin brought a thousand muskets, and there were still five hundred muskets left. However, there were many bullets, with a total of 500,000 rounds, and almost all the inventory of the Military Weapon Bureau was also used. The bullets were available. Duke Huang Degong of the Yasukuni had nearly 10,000 muskets under his command. After distribution, one person could only get fifty rounds, which was not a large number.

Yang Lin has not yet figured out how to deal with these 500 muskets. If they are just used for backup, they will not be used so much. They will hand them over to Duke Jingguo. Five hundred muskets are really a drop in the bucket compared to tens of thousands of people, and may cause disputes. Now Jinan City is likely to be a group of soldiers, and there is no time to familiarize themselves with the new guns. Instead, it is left to this mercenary to exert its maximum power. On this section of the waterway, we can train and familiarize ourselves with guns together. There are 380 mercenaries and more than 100 remaining guns. The remaining guns can be used as reserve.

But if he had not used all of his own guns, he would give them to the Franchise operators first. Yang Lin always felt a little reluctant. What if the Franchise operator stole the gun? However, Yang Lin was amused by his thoughts again. This was the Ming Dynasty. Without the permission of the government, these Franchise operators could not get out at all.

"Okay, I can give you weapons as the leader. It is not allowed to be damaged for no reason. After the war, it must be collected and suppressed. If there is any damage, each silver will be compensated at 100 taels." These Follers actually dared to sell more than 30 taels of convex guns. Yang Lin felt that such a flintlock gun could be priced at 100 taels.

However, thanks to the batch of firearms purchased from the Folang Ji people, the artillery battalion composed of more than 100 cannons was earth-shaking every time it fired. There were more than 3,000 people in the entire artillery battalion, 20,000 people in the 50,000 Yulin Guards, all equipped with muskets, and more than 26,000 were spearmen. Although such an army had just been integrated, its power had begun to show. A few days ago, the Yulin Guards conducted an exercise. After the 60,000 Jingbasses watched the exercise, they all looked like earth after the Yulin Guards exercise. If the Tartars were at the level of the Jingbass, a round of artillery bombardment could make them collapse.

"General, wise, you will be proud of the decision you made today." Bugalu almost jumped up happily.
