Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 6 Firearms Prestige
After temporarily stabilizing a group of military masters, Chu Yun still felt a little uneasy.He needs so much time.To be precise, he really needs to be civilized.A lot of cheating technology was placed in front of him, and he could only look at the ocean and sigh, making his heart itch.

But there's no way, since I just came to this world, I'd better stay obediently on the island to develop wretchedly in the early stage, and wait until everything gets better.

Under Chu Yun's arrangement, his troops were reorganized into a battalion under the banner of "Fu Liao Battalion".Fuliao Camp has three brigades under its jurisdiction. The three brigade commanders are Yang Tai, Changyi, and Xu Ji, and there are 200 to [-] people under their command.

In addition, Chu Yun also established a team directly under the command of the Fuliao Battalion Headquarters, consisting of twelve French soldiers and 24 Chu Yun's personal soldiers.

After the reform of the military system, Chu Yun began to let the troops train using the latest French 1777 flintlock rifles. The instructor was of course the summoned French officer Chadley.At present, Chu Yun only has ten rifles, which cannot be used by all soldiers for practice.So Chu Yun decided to let the battalion team take the lead in training with rifles, and the soldiers in other brigades used wooden gun handles to simulate the drill.Since gunpowder has not yet been made, the training cannot actually use ammunition.

Nevertheless, these soldiers learned the basic steps of operating a flintlock rifle, and I believe that after getting a real flintlock rifle, they will get started quickly.In particular, some soldiers who used inferior bird guns had some experience in using firearms, so they got started faster.This is the advantage of firearms over cold weapons. It does not require too strict physical requirements, nor does it require long-term training like bows and crossbows, to quickly pull out an army capable of fighting.

Chu Yun understood in his heart, but these Ming soldiers were confused.Their boss always asked them to practice a piece of wood that looked like a bird's gun, but the steps to operate this wood were different from the bird's gun.Does their boss think that just a single piece of wood can improve their combat effectiveness?
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Three shots were fired, and with thick smoke rising, two large holes were punched out of a large water tank 100 meters away, and the water in the tank splashed out.Only one shot missed.

On the simple dirt field, all the soldiers of Ming Dynasty stared at the blond and blue-eyed Chadley in astonishment.

"It's about a hundred paces, right? Oh my god, can this bird gun be so accurate at such a distance? It's just a sharpshooter!"

"Did you see his operation? He fired three rounds in less than one minute! We used the bird gun to fire one round in one minute, which is not bad!"

"Not only that, he is not afraid of exploding the chamber at all, and he shot it out with a bang. The firecracker seems to be of good quality."

"What do you guys know? Have you seen that, he can launch without firing a fire, no wonder he shoots faster than us."

A group of sergeants talked a lot.The Ming Dynasty had a large number of firearms to equip the army, so these sergeants were not completely ignorant.Although this kind of rifle was also called "bird gun" in their eyes, they clearly noticed that the 1777 rifle in Chudley's hand was several times stronger than the fire gun they had used before.

"Master Qian has an order. This drill will last for one month. The brigade with the highest score in the drill will be equipped with [-] Western muskets, while the other two brigades will only have [-]!" Enough strength.

One hundred Western muskets!The eyes of the three captains showed hunger and thirst, like a big guy who hasn't seen a beautiful girl for a long time.Especially Mrs. Yang, whose eyes were as big as a cow's.

Many soldiers were also crazy about it.Because the Ming Dynasty collected money from top to bottom, the quality of firearms in the last years of the Ming Dynasty deteriorated year after year. Bird guns not only had a slow rate of fire, but were also prone to bombing, which was particularly weak against the post-Golden Cavalry.Now that there are more advanced western muskets, wouldn't it be easier to save lives on the battlefield in the future?
"Listen to me, from today onwards, you will learn how to use the new-style firecrackers from the foreign instructors! If anyone is found lazy by me, I will see if I don't use this iron whip to beat him to death!" The soldiers lectured, wishing to get the hundred rifles immediately.

"In other matters, I, Changyi, allow you to lag behind, but this time, you all have to give me the strength to feed me! If I lose to Yang Er, I, Changyi, will definitely take your skin off!"

Chang Yi, an officer of the second brigade, saw that Mrs. Yang of the first brigade was speaking harshly, so he also confronted his soldiers admonishing them.

"Changyi, do you want to have a fight? When I was in the bloody battle between Sarhu and Houjin, you were still playing with mud in your crotch!" Mrs. Yang refused to give in.

"It's ridiculous that you dare to show off such a defeated battle like Saerhu. I can respect you as a big brother because of your age, but I, Changyi, have to take these one hundred Western muskets!" Changyi said. Yi Yinyang taunted strangely.

"Fuck you, I want you to see my fist!" Mrs. Yang threw her fist at Chang Yi's face when she disagreed.

Originally, several bigwigs from Fuliao Camp were by Chu Yun's side, very close to each other. Changyi was caught off guard, and was really punched by Mrs. Yang.

"Damn it!" Changyi was able to get along in Dongjiang Town, so he was naturally young, and immediately wrestled with Mrs. Yang.

Xu Jile, the captain of the third brigade, was the happiest in watching the play: "Little ones, let's let Mrs. Yang Changyi have a good time. After one month, one hundred muskets will belong to our third brigade."

"You, Xu, don't even think about it!"

It's a pity that Xu Ji didn't have time to "gloat", he was also drawn into the battle by Mrs. Yang and Chang Yi, and the three wrestled into a ball.

Chu Yun also didn't expect that two of his three subordinates were older than him, and would fight in groups regardless of face.But from this point of view, the new firearms are still very attractive to them, at least they don't have to worry about being lazy.

The strategy of mastering skills from barbarians to control barbarians, which was put forward more than a hundred years later, has been implemented by Chu Yun at this moment, but no one realizes it.

While Chu Yun was practicing the new musketeers, he was anxiously waiting for the fleet of Wuhu businessman Wang Changyuan.

At Chu Yun's request, Wang Changyuan sent a letter to his nephew to bring a boatload of supplies to Guanglu Island. He was still on his way at the moment.
At the same time, many residents in the northern part of Guanglu Island began to be relocated to the area controlled by Chu Yun's troops and divided into villages and villages.Since they don't have to pay taxes for three years, they can still protect their own safety. The people of Daming who fled to Guanglu Island are happy to accept Chu Yun's management.The same is true for the fleet from the southeast coast of Ming Dynasty.

Because of the presence of residents and foreign caravans in the territory, Chu Yun's civilization points finally began to increase.

However, in Liaodong on the other side of the sea, Houjin's new master finally came to power, and a storm that swept across Liaodong quietly began to roll up...
