Chapter 589 Review

Thinking like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but get energetic, and immediately ordered: "The entire new army must assemble. I want to review the army!"

"According to the order!" Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua responded loudly at the same time. With strong confidence on their faces, they took a few steps back before turning around and mounting their horses.

Watching them leave, the military formations that were training in the distance began to gather. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and turned to the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Zu Dashou, and said, "Qing Zu, please take a good look at it for me and point out any deficiencies." !”

When Zu Dashou heard this, he couldn't help but reveal a wry smile of envy on his face. This new army, not to mention the salary, the literacy rate in the new army has never been as high as that of any other army, and all the grassroots officers from the captain to above are trained from the junior military preparation hall of the capital. Passed. Although the time is short, their knowledge of battle formations and their ability to respond to emergencies on the battlefield are far beyond comparison with other armies.

Also, the number of supervisors in this new army is not comparable to other armies. The most important thing is that these supervisors are not like the supervisors in other armies. They should be served like great masters. If they don't cause trouble, they will be thanked. From the perspective of Zu Dashou, a bystander, these supervisors can see that they are the glue of the new army and the guarantee for keeping the morale of the new army high.

How could such a new army allow myself, the person who led the ordinary army of the Ming Dynasty, to find fault? If I insist on finding fault, it would be that this new army still needs a big victory to prove itself!

Thinking like this, Zu Dashou looked at Emperor Chongzhen's face and the young emperor, and was very surprised. To be honest, he couldn't figure out where the emperor's experience came from to train such a unique army!

Since last year, the Emperor has really been transformed. He is no longer the immature child who could be deceived before! Perhaps the equal emphasis on both civil and military affairs that the Emperor promised back then can actually happen in the hands of the Emperor!

When Zu Dashou was thinking about it, he heard the rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. When he came back to his senses, he saw that Cao Bianjiao and other generals of the new army were coming over. Apparently they came to invite the emperor for review. So he calmed down and paid attention to accompany him. The emperor is in love.

As expected, when Cao Bianjiao approached, he loudly announced that the new army had assembled and asked the emperor to review it.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded immediately, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and drove the horse forward slowly. Zu Dashou immediately followed, and behind him were Cao Bianjiao and Feng Dehua.

The officers and soldiers of the new army gathered on the school field. They all stood upright, heads held high and chests held high, and they were proud of themselves. The first impression Emperor Chongzhen saw reminded him of a saying from later generations: majestic and high-spirited!

"Salute to Your Majesty!" Seeing the emperor approaching on horseback, the nearby New Army soldiers freed up one hand and raised their hands in salute amidst the shouts of their leader. Their movements were uniform and without any sloppiness.

These new army officers and soldiers also wore iron armor and held weapons during training. They just stood there with a unique heroic spirit of soldiers, which made those who watched feel heroic and passionate. Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to return the gift.

They walked past one square formation after another, and soon arrived at the cavalry formation. The cavalrymen all stood in front of the horses' heads, holding the reins in one hand and controlling the horses to stand motionless with them. It's just that a war horse will snort from time to time.

Emperor Chongzhen could tell that these cavalrymen were very familiar with horses and had a tacit understanding with the horses, which was very good. When he reached the heavy cavalry side, he stood for a while and saw that the cavalry here were obviously tall, long-armed, and powerful, and the horses were all selected high-headed horses. They would be the vanguard of the enemy's formation. , the sharpest spearhead of the Ming army!

After passing through the heavy armored cavalry formation, there is the artillery battalion of the New Army. Looking at the Franco machine gun mounted on the gun carriage, Emperor Chongzhen deliberately reined in his horse and stopped for a while. Most of these cannons were Fran cannons, divided into a mother cannon and several sub-cannons. After entering the battlefield, the sub-cannon is loaded in advance, so that it can fire as quickly as possible before the battle.

There are many models of Fran cannons, suitable for firing at different distances. The previous Fran cannon had a sealing problem. When firing, the air tightness was poor. Not only was it easy to injure the gunner, but the gun also couldn't fire far. However, under the attention of Emperor Chongzhen, these artillery no longer had this problem. The artillery produced by the Bingzhan Bureau were all manufactured in strict accordance with the specifications.

When Emperor Chongzhen scanned these cannons, he could see that these were still products of iron-moulded cannons, and most of them were white-mouthed cannons. He pointed to the artillery pieces and asked, "How often do these artillery pieces need to be replaced?"

"Your Majesty, after two rounds of artillery fire, you have to replace it!" Cao Bianjiao immediately took two steps forward and loudly reported, "And the quality of the artillery limits the firing speed of the soldiers."

After many rounds of training, the soldiers of the artillery battalion have become very proficient in loading. The structure of the Folang machine's primary and secondary cannons makes the loading speed much faster than other types of cannons. Therefore, the current bottleneck in firing speed lies in the quality of the artillery. Firing too fast may cause the barrel to burst. At this time, the disadvantages of iron-cast cannons became apparent.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "The War Bureau is already handling it, and there will be gray-mouth artillery for you later."

Cao Bianjiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help but look forward to the moment when the cannon was fired on the battlefield. According to the teachings of the Junior Armed Forces of the Capital, this artillery fire is concentrated and can cover a large area in front of the formation. As long as it is covered by artillery fire, even with live ammunition, the casualties will be considerable. Once you get close, if you use explosive bullets, there will be almost no enemies left standing.

After reviewing a circle, Emperor Chongzhen finally stepped onto the general stage. He walked directly to the general stand, glanced at the New Army officers and soldiers below, with a serious face, and suddenly said loudly: "The Dongjiang Army won a great victory, and the Qin and Jin border troops also won a great victory. I am very happy!"

When he said this, Emperor Chongzhen noticed that many of the new army officers and soldiers below him showed a hint of dissatisfaction and were eager to speak. So, he raised his voice and asked loudly: "You were formed by me personally, and you are the army I have high hopes for. I have left Ming Dynasty's strongest enemy to you. I ask you, will you let me down?"

The New Army soldiers were already used to Emperor Chongzhen's questions. They immediately shouted in unison: "No!"

The voice was loud, sonorous and powerful, echoing over the school grounds!

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Soon, I will give you a chance to prove it soon. Use your best performance to show me, everyone in Ming Dynasty, and the enemies of Ming Dynasty! "
