Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 518 The King's Anxiety

"Shoot in the first row!"

"Bang bang bang..."

"The second row stepped forward and fired!"

"The first row quickly reloads bullets!"

"The third row is ready!"

"Bang bang bang..."

Instructions from the commander of the Ming army and the sound of fusiliers firing continuously came from the Huangming Island shooting training ground.

This is not the regular military training of the Ming Dynasty, but the Overseer of the Dragon Banner Army stationed in the Ming Association Army, directing the Ming Association Army's shooting training.

None of the 5000 Mingxie troops had ever used firearms, and everyone was very excited with the flintlock in hand.

The flintlock is much easier to use than the Vulcan, as long as the gun is aimed and the trigger is pulled.

Although their marksmanship was terrible at the beginning, it was a mass shooting after all, and there was no need for a single kill.

As long as the marksmanship is similar, a group firing a flintlock can also cause heavy casualties to the opponent.

Li Qi, one hundred households of the Dragon Banner Army, is the commander-in-chief of these Ming Xie troops.

In addition, more than a dozen soldiers of the Dragon Banner Army and the Dragon Teng Army served as thousands of households in the Ming Xie Army.

At the end of the day's shooting training, Li Qi selected a thousand soldiers with slightly better marksmanship from among the 5000 soldiers.

Let them form the main force of the Ming Association for training alone, and the other soldiers are handed over to them to lead the training in thousands of households.

After these 1000 people are the cards of the Mingxie Army, other soldiers with poor marksmanship are basically cannon fodder in battle.

Two days of training can't make much progress in their marksmanship.

The main training is to set up the formation, train them not to panic in battle, and not to shoot indiscriminately without instructions.

Under normal circumstances, the commander has not ordered to shoot, and seeing the enemy rushing up aggressively, inexperienced soldiers will panic and shoot indiscriminately.

But when the enemy really approached them, they were still rushing to reload their bullets.

In that case, what awaits them will be death and rout, which is the taboo of musketeers.

Although these Mingxie troops were terrible at marksmanship, they were very obedient and trained very seriously, which made Li Qi very satisfied.

Li Qi believed that after several battles, some of the 5000 soldiers would gradually become stronger.

After two days of training, the formation of the Ming Association Army has become somewhat orderly. Although it cannot be compared with the regular army of the Ming Dynasty, at least it has changed a lot from two days ago.

Tomorrow they are going to attack Ma Da Lan King Capital. After the last day of training, Li Qi began to give instructions to the Ming Xie Army:
"From today onwards, you are considered to be members of the Ming Army, and your designation is called the Great Ming Ming Xiejun, and your main task is to cooperate with the Ming Army and officials to manage the land under your feet.

The two days of training have ended, and you will step onto the battlefield tomorrow. Whether you can survive or not depends entirely on your own performance.

You have all changed to flintlock guns now. Apart from the regular army of Ming Dynasty, it can be said that there are almost no opponents on this island.

However, there is a premise here, that is, you must strictly abide by military discipline, and you must remain calm when forming an array to meet the enemy, and you cannot shoot at will without command.

Now I am announcing the military discipline before the formation. When you are in formation to meet the enemy, you must obey the command. Without the command of the commander, no one can shoot at will.

Once someone disobeys orders or shoots at will in a panic, the Fa-rectification on the spot will show no mercy, have you heard that? "

After Li Qi finished speaking, he looked at the Ming Xiejun with cold eyes, and the Ming Xiejun did not disappoint him, shouting almost at the same time:
"Yes, we have all heard it, we must obey the command."

In order to boost morale, Li Qi repeated:
"Speak loudly, I don't hear!"

Under the leadership of a hundred households of the Ming army, the Ming Xiejun shouted again:

"Resolutely obey the command, never shoot indiscriminately, the Ming army is mighty, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

These native soldiers were very happy to hear that they had become part of the Ming army.

The thunderous tactics of the Ming army made them extremely fearful, and they felt that no army in the world could compete with Da Ming.

Now they are also honored to become the Great Ming Ming Alliance Army, and they no longer have to fight against such a terrifying army.

What's more, when they confront the enemy, with such a powerful army behind them, what are they afraid of.

If there were still a few soldiers among them who surrendered at the beginning, it was a stopgap measure, but now they have begun to integrate into the Ming Association Army.

In the palace of King Matalan, King Goulart is meeting with the elders.

When the Ming army and the Dutch were both wounded, it should not be difficult for the [-] Mataran army to attack Batavia.

But it had been two days, and they still hadn't heard from the battlefield, and none of the scouts they had sent had returned.

If it is said that only a few thousand soldiers in the Kingdom of Mataram fought and were wiped out by the Ming army and the Dutch, they would still believe it.

But none of the 7 people came back, which is so strange.

In their minds, neither the Ming army nor the Dutch were capable of wiping out [-] Matalan soldiers.

Goulart, the king of the Matalan Kingdom, was a little panicked. He was ambitious and wanted to unify the entire Java, but now he is doing badly.

King Goulart hastily summoned the Mataram Presbyterian Council to discuss countermeasures.

The leader of the Presbyterian Church is Prime Minister Suha, who is second only to King Goulart's minister in Mataram, and he is absolutely inferior to one person and above ten thousand.

The Presbyterian Church is probably equivalent to the Western Parliament. Kun Er, who led the army to attack Batavia this time, is also a member of the Matalan Presbyterian Church.

King Goulart is asking for news about the Mata Blues:
"Elders, is there any news that the Mata blue army is attacking Batavia?"

Su Ha and other five elders glanced at each other, they were speechless for a while, they didn't know how to answer the king.

Su Ha put on a smile and cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry. I'm going to beat the blue army and attack Batavia. If they fail, they should have retreated."

Goulart glared at Suha angrily:
"I hope so, but why is there no news from the scouts we sent out?"

Su Ha's face turned pale, but he still pretended to be calm and replied:

"This... Your Majesty, I think they must be delayed or lost in the tropical rainforest, and they will definitely appear after a while."

The other elders saw that Su Ha was a bit unable to cope with the king's questioning, so they hurriedly spoke for Su Ha.

"That's right, we also think so. In order to reassure His Majesty the King, we have sent out five scouts again, and I believe we will be back today."

Seeing this, some people may ask, what about the scouts sent by Mataram?You won't really get lost in the tropical rainforest!

Of course not, the scouts sent by the Presbyterian Council of the Matalan Kingdom had already moved their heads.

In order to successfully take down the Matalan King Capital, Zhu Youjian deliberately blocked the news that the entire Matalan army was wiped out.

Daming Jinyiwei and Xichang Fanzi, as well as some members of the Longqi Special Forces, immediately ambushed on the road that the Matalan army must pass after the battle.

As long as they saw someone coming from the direction of Ma Dalan, they immediately sent this person to meet the King of Hades.

King Mataram and members of the Presbyterian Church, of course, did not get any information about the war.
