The private visits on a covert manner were already accustomed to Emperor Chongzhen. However, this time, he did not play this trick anymore, but instead made the emperor rely on it.
The Jingying camp hasn't seen the emperor for almost half a year. When they heard the emperor coming, they were excited and immediately showed their spirits. Mao Yuanyi, the chief in charge of the new army, and Rong Zudashou, the temporary general in charge of the Jingying camp, hurried to the gate to welcome the gate.
Emperor Chongzhen went in and suddenly realized that the ordinary soldiers in the Beijing camp seemed to be more energetic than before, and Zu Dashou was well-trained. He thought about this and secretly kept his heart.
When he arrived at the new military academy, the second batch of new troops were already waiting for the priest. Emperor Chongzhen did not talk too much and immediately ordered the new army to start the drill.
This second batch of new troops was described in the military books written by Mao Yuanyi and Sun Chengzong. This car camp was actually improved based on the car camp organized by Qi Jiguang after he arrived in Jizhen. In other words, the training of the new army did not bypass the precious wealth left by Qi Jiguang.
This chariot camp is different from the past, with flintlock spearmen replacing the clamps and spearmen, and the number is much larger. The purpose of the side van is usually mainly used to transport artillery and food and supplies, and in wartime it is used to place it in front of or on both sides, and it is not a ring. Because it is a ring, it hinders attack. At least in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, it is impossible to win a battle with excellent military weapons and passive beatings.
At the beginning of the drill, more than 3,000 new troops began to skillfully change formations, imagining encounters, blocking, chasing and other battle situations. Emperor Chongzhen was a little excited that among these more than 3,000 new troops, there were 100 special gunmen, who were used to rogue flintlock rifles, specifically roaming behind the chariots, used to snipe the enemy's leader or the enemy who bravely charged.
"Your Majesty, these special flintlock rifles have selected the 100 best-achieved flintlock rifles from the two thousand flintlock rifles!" Mao Yuanyi noticed the emperor's expression and immediately replied, "It's just a pity that the Military Weapons Bureau can provide very few rifled flintlock rifles, only one hundred people are marshalling."
Emperor Chongzhen nodded after hearing this. He knew before that the rifled rifle was difficult to build, so he didn't say much, but just replied, "I'll go and have a look when I have time."
After saying that, he ordered a flintlock rifle to come and see. The flintlock rifle is equipped with a bayonet, but it cannot be removed. Usually folded at the muzzle, when it is about to be used, rotate the bayonet and turn it into a spear. At the base of the bayonet, there is also an inlay buckle for fixing the bayonet. One disadvantage is that it will be more troublesome to rotate the bayonet again. You have to forcefully remove the inlay buckle before rotating it. However, considering that this does not affect the wartime, this disadvantage is ignored.
Emperor Chongzhen tried a few times and felt it was OK, but he hoped that the Ming army would not use this bayonet much. After all, the flintlock rifle equipped with bayonets was used to fight with the cold weapon army. Obviously, the flintlock rifle is not very easy. It is not as long as the enemy's long spear, and it is not as convenient as the enemy's sword, which is many disadvantages. Otherwise, why did you use a big sword team during the Great Wall War in the future? It would be just an enemy who faces the bayonet!
