Chapter 3 The Enclave (13)

The monarch and minister of the Forbidden City talked about Ding Rujin's time in mid-May. Emperor Jing had just deposed his queen because Empress Wang strongly opposed the deposed position of Zhu Jianshen, the eldest son of Emperor Yingzong, but Emperor Jing insisted on making Concubine Hang's son Zhu Jianji the crown prince. Empress Wang was obviously a conscientious woman and had always argued with Emperor Jing about this matter, so Emperor Jing finally couldn't stand it and deposed her, and together with her two daughters, he was sent to the cold palace together.

In fact, Yingzong and Emperor Jing, to put it bluntly, crows fell on the black pig. One actually puts an old man like Zhang Fu and doesn't ask for advice, but he can actually believe Wang Zhen, a military idiot; the other is completely shameless, and when he ascended the throne, he said that he didn't want to do this position, and he also made Yingzong's son the crown prince to succeed the throne. As a result, Yingzong was locked up in Nangong when he returned, and the chain holes were filled with lead, and Zhu Jianshen was also deposed Yi Chu.

But Empress Wang and these two brothers are different. This one is really moral. After Emperor Yingzong restored the throne, because Emperor Jing imprisoned Empress Wang, he was not implicated, so he taught her to take the palace property and the eunuchs and maids who served her to live. As a result, Emperor Yingzong remembered a royal weapon in the palace, but could not find it. Some people said that she was taken away by Empress Wang. Emperor Yingzong sent someone to ask for it. Empress Wang threw the jade artifact into the well and refused to hand it over. He also said to others: "The emperor for seven years is not worthy of the number of jade!" Emperor Jing appointed Zhu Jianshen as the throne, and wanted to be easy to sacrificial. She would rather fight for it by the deposed queen. Yingzong brought her own property out of the palace, and then remorsed and asked for it. She threw it into the well and did not return it, and she was not afraid of angering the emperor. The so-called husband in the middle of the girl was nothing more than this.

But from this we can see that this Empress Wang's temper is probably not necessarily soft, so Emperor Jing was also very bad by her. When people are in a bad mood, they are often easily guided. So when Xing'an compares Ding to Wen Tianxiang, he seemed to think something is reasonable!

So he walked a few steps in the hall and suddenly said, "He has no descendants. He is not afraid of death, and expands territory for the country... If he dies, wouldn't I beg the command of thousands of men to chase the twelve gold medals and recall Song Gaozong of Yue Wumu? This is inappropriate!" He said and asked Xing'an, "Old Dog, do you think Ru Jin led Zhang Rui to the north together with the two thousand cavalry who were originally guarding the Governor's headquarters?"

Xing'an quickly replied, "Yes, we took them north together. I think we can go 30% of the way..."

"You bastard!" Emperor Jing was in a bad mood. Wuming got angry and kicked Xing'an and pointed it at him and cursed, "Do you want to be Qin Hui? You old dog, do you want me to bear the infamy? What a vicious thought!" He said that, and kicked Xing'an in front of a human-shaped sandbag, then snorted coldly, "Those two thousand cavalrymen will return immediately and will still protect Ru Jin's safety, well, like those five thousand soldiers. Drag into the Grand Governor's Office of the Four Seas, what is the war on the other side of the Great Jinsha River? Don't do their business, but if Jin is in trouble, all these two thousand people will be confiscated! You will now go to the Ministry of War and get this done quickly!"

The rain was rustling, and it was rare for Mengyang's territory to be in this stuffy heat. With a little chill, Ding Yi didn't know that after walking 2,000-thirds of the 2,000-mile rush back, he said to the people sitting in the tent, "Try shooting, ten shots." Liu Tie took the order and immediately ran out to teach the commanders to blew the bronze trumpet.

So thousands of animals, including pigs, pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, pheasants and other animals purchased from the four towns and eight miles at high prices, were driven from outside the bastion, and many water splashed in the heavy rain. As many beasts were roaring, they rushed towards the bastion group at a chassis at high speed. When they entered the range of fifty meters, the shooting holes of each bastion burst out in the rain, and the deafening gunshots sounded in succession.

Beasts are not soldiers. They are more undisciplined and more chaotic than soldiers. They are killed and injured, and are frightened by gunfire. They are taught to flee from all directions, which cannot change their fate. After all, the effective range of gunfires is only fifty meters or seventy meters, but the effective range of killing is at least a hundred meters away, which is enough to end all this before getting them out of danger.

The last big goose is the only one that lives in this group of animals.

Unfortunately, the order received by the soldiers in the Borge was ten shots, and so far, they only shot seven shots.

No one stopped, whether it was turning the handle hard in the basin, so that the bamboo exhaust fan could draw out the soldiers who were smoking the smoke from the fort, or the soldiers who were loading bullets according to the steps of the charlatan. The officers of the battalion were shouting: "Hurry up! Get up! Don't say that the army commander asked us to kill cattle and sheep, even if he asked us to kill ants, he had to do it with all his heart!"

"Whoever dares to laugh, I will cut off the head! Think about it, my parents have never been so precious to me, so I will support us like sons and do whatever I ask! Whoever is not careful, more than a hundred bayonets will be stabbed into sieve in a while!" The barbaric, vulgar, and fierce similar speeches sounded in various castles. However, the platoon leaders who came from the teaching team observed every move of the soldiers silently, and whenever there was a mistake, they immediately went over and whispered to correct them.

Strictly speaking, the movements of these soldiers are less than the soldiers of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty, which have almost the same interval between every beat and the radiation of each body movement, and the mechanicity of the rhythm, or the mechanical feeling. But they have more things, they are bloodthirsty and calm, because they are elite bloodshots at the border. Not to mention killing some beasts, killing people, or even elephants, they dare to rush up. As long as they are taught to eat enough, they should not escape first! If the First Division of the Ming Dynasty already has a modern army, these five thousand new troops are different. They are more like five thousand elite servants, servants who work hard for Ding Yi.

The goose finally died and was beaten into a ball of meat paste. In addition to the two thousand people on duty on guard and combat readiness, more than 3,000 rounds of fuse guns were shot with three rounds. As long as nearly one percent of the lead bullets hit, it was enough to hit it to pieces. What's more, the French army in the 19th century could reach 60% of the hits. Even if these five thousand new troops were not inferior, the hit rate was thirty or forty.

The gunshot finally stopped. After the nervous statistics, Liu Tie ran into the tent to report to Ding Yi: "Mr. Report, 3,197 muskets fired ten rounds, and no one of them exploded; of the 31,970 shootings, 9,600 failed shootings, of which 720 loading errors were caused, the rest were caused by the extinguishing of the fuse and the damp gunpowder. There were no casualties, and the report was completed."

Ding Yi was obviously very satisfied with this number. The slut rate of 10% is amazing. Although it is not really facing the enemy's charge, and it is in the bastion, not in line to line up and shoot it. It can be said that it is a number obtained under an ideal condition, but the slut rate of less than 30% is definitely a great thing. You should know that the reason why Sui fires the gun instead of a combroach is that the slut rate of the slut is 25 to 17%, and four to six shootings have sluts, and the slut is as high as 50%!

So even in actual combat, due to the psychological pressure in the battle, the fire silence rate has been expanded to 50%, which is definitely an acceptable radiation. Ding Yi and Gong Ju smiled and said, "The old general is really unique in training troops!"

Gong Ju didn't have any sign of happiness, but just smiled and agreed. In the end, he couldn't help but speak: "If you want to build an army, you can't hide in the bastion. How can you fight this musket in a rainy day? Although the opponent is not easy to fight on rainy days, it's always easier to defend than to attack. Besides, there are only five thousand men at present..."

"I don't plan to start a war on a rainy day. Old Governor should not be anxious. These guns must be changed. This time, I just check the defense performance of the bastion and the dumbness rate of the new ammunition of the musket. The food and grass will be enough for next December. What should I be anxious?" Ding Yi comforted the old Governor. In fact, he really didn't plan to start a war in the rainy season. Although the comb-rope gun is not impossible to fight on rainy days, the Japanese knew to hold a big umbrella to cover it and call it a rainy gun. But Ding Yi didn't plan to do this. The five thousand new troops are now truly his. Let them carry the comb-rope gun to fight? Ding is really reluctant to let it go.

This time, in addition to the ammunition directly escorted from Guangxi, there are also a group of craftsmen in the workshop. Meng Yang does not have the conditions to start a mine and smelting farm, so the arrival of these craftsmen is to change their guns and change these front-loaded coercine guns to Manllyde rifles.

Ding Yi in Guangxi was unwilling to use the Manle Ride rifle in the First Division of the Ming Dynasty because he subconsciously felt that he was too backward. He had personnel there, workshops, workshops, mines, and even some wooden parts that could be outsourced... But in Mengyang, the Manle Ride rifle was undoubtedly the best choice. These dozen craftsmen have brought important components needed for modification from Guangxi: 6,000 sets of shell bolts, and the machine parts were originally a bullet rope gun produced by Dingjia Factory. There was no problem with standard parts, and consistency of the outer diameter and inner diameter was necessary. Therefore, after the bolts and machine parts were installed, the small changes in the guardrail were also debugged.
