The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 252 Longnan New Army Academy
On the north side of the military academy is the shooting training ground, which can accommodate thousands of people practicing guns at the same time.

The core of the shooting training ground is a mound more than ten feet high, one side has been flattened and compacted, and densely packed wooden targets are placed in front of it, with four concentric circles drawn on it.

There is also a trench as deep as one person behind the wooden target, which is used for people who read the target to walk.Dozens of extremely long lime lines were painted on the ground for soldiers to estimate the distance between the queue and the target.

The most uninhabited open land in the west is the natural artillery training ground.

It is also surrounded by fences, and there are red warning signs of "no approaching".

The training field is five or six miles long, and at the end there is an earth barrier every ten feet to mark the distance.In the far distance, dozens of circles with a diameter of three to four feet were drawn with lime. With the current artillery's aiming ability, as long as they hit such a large circle, they would count as ten rings.

In addition, warehouses, kitchens, stables, bathhouses and other facilities are all available.In the dense forest farthest from the school building is the most mysterious "special forces" training place, but the specific purpose of this place is unknown except for Zhu Linmei.

Every time Macedo looks at the endless new army academy, he can't help feeling a burst of emotion in his heart.He has traveled to many countries, whether it is in luxurious Spain, Sweden, which trains soldiers best, or Britain, which is good at calculating, he has never seen such a professional military academy.

He knew that in addition to this "luxury" training ground, there was a whole set of detailed training procedures supporting the military academy.

And that genius Prince Daming, oh no, he should already be the assistant king.His training and combat methods are extremely advanced. As the nominal chief instructor of this military academy, Masseto knows very well how terrifying the combat effectiveness of the soldiers who walk out of here is.

Even the Swiss who fought the most valiant battles in Europe or the Swedes with the most advanced tactics have little hope of winning against these soldiers.

His Royal Highness the Counselor King also equipped his army with a large number of flintlock guns, which has an overwhelming advantage over the matchlock guns that are prevalent in Europe.

What shocked him the most was that even with such a powerful army, the auxiliary king of Ming Dynasty still seemed dissatisfied, and he had begun to implement new military reforms in this country.God, what else does he want to change? !
Soon, there was a noisy sound from a distance.Macedo looked up and saw nearly a thousand youths in chaotic clothes coming in from the north gate of the New Military Academy led by dozens of officers in dark green military uniforms.

Although the formation of these people is crooked and obviously not very disciplined, it can be seen that they are all strong, most of them are close to 4 cubits in height, and they are all full of energy.

These people are newly recruited recruits, who will be divided into infantry, hunting soldiers, cavalry and other arms in the new army academy, and will undergo systematic training.After half a year to a year, they will all become very good soldiers.

Macedo knew that these recruits were all part of the military reform plan of the auxiliary king of Ming Dynasty.In recent days, no less than 4000 recruits like this have come, and it is said that thousands more will come later.

"A frighteningly powerful country." Pastore walked up from behind him, looking at the densely packed recruits and said, "You can recruit tens of thousands of excellent soldiers at will. Fortunately, she is not close to Europe."

Macedo nodded and said: "It's more than tens of thousands. If necessary, they can mobilize an army of 50 million or more." He looked into the distance, "However, there is another more powerful barbarian in the north of them. wreak havoc on the land."

"It also gave us a good job." Pastore laughed.

Macedo frowned, and said in a dull tone, "Recently, I have fallen into anxiety many times. I don't know what the consequences will be if I help train the Eastern army here."

"Consequences? Anything else besides silver ingots?"

"Pastore, have you ever thought that once the Eastern Empire decides the outcome with the northern barbarians, it is likely to seek greater benefits." Massedo is obviously not so optimistic, "If the army in front of me one day A war with Spain, do you think we have a chance of winning?"

"Fifty percent?" Pastore glanced at him, "Okay, about thirty percent. But you have to know that even without us, the young co-king can still find suitable people to train his army.

"And we signed the contract, what's the use of thinking more? Just enjoy your reward."

Macedo sighed helplessly. Several of their mercenaries signed a five-year contract with Zhu Linming. If he quit before then, he might be thrown into prison.

He immediately remembered that an officer of Daming told him yesterday that the assistant king planned to increase his salary.He shook his head, as if he was talking to himself: "I hope God bless, don't let Spain and this big eastern country fight against each other."

Soon, the recruits were assembled, but Massedo was still watching from afar but did not step forward, and the officers who already had Ming began to give lectures to the recruits.

As the instructors trained in the Daming Royal Military Academy graduated one after another, he rarely intervened in the specific training work.

Maybe I won't be needed here tomorrow or the next year, he murmured to himself.

At the same time, in the outer suburbs of Jian'an, relying on the foundation of the original Jian'an guard camp, another military school is busy under construction.

The barracks and school grounds are ready-made, and the stone plaque of "Jian'an Infantry Academy" has been erected outside the camp. A large number of civilians are digging simulated trenches and building drainage facilities.

Recently, the recruits who came from all over Fujian can't wait to start training outside the camp, and the chief instructor here is temporarily held by Xia Fuxian.

According to Zhu Linming's plan, the best soldiers will be trained in Longnan, and they will mainly join the Dragon Guards in the future.The graduates of the military academy in Jian'an mainly joined the Polu camp.

Of course, the flow of the two military academies is not fixed, and Long Weijun, an excellent graduate from Jian'an, will not refuse.

In this way, the two military academies can also form a certain healthy competition, so that the level of training and teaching can always be maintained at a high level.

……

Yang Tinglin's face turned black, and the sheets of paper clutched in his hands were soaked with sweat, but he didn't realize it at all, and just kept urging the bearers to speed up.

When it was getting dark, he finally saw the stone lion outside the Fuzheng Palace, and he became more and more anxious.

Zhu Linmi had just eaten supper and was reading the construction progress report of the Jian'an Infantry Academy when she heard that the Minister of Household Affairs, Yang Ge, asked to see her.

Didn't Yang Tinglin go to southern Fujian?Yang Tinglin was puzzled, but still ordered: "Please come in."

When Yang Tinglin arrived in front of the palace study, he didn't come in. He just knelt down on the stone steps outside the door, his voice trembling slightly, "Your Majesty owes His Highness a heavy trust, please punish me..."
