Chapter 174: Navy, Archway, Great Training

In the end, Zhang Zhun issued a more complete "Military Merit Order" and made some modifications to the merit evaluation system. According to the new "Military Merit Order", the soldiers selected their respective combat heroes. Those soldiers with excellent performance and outstanding achievements are certainly the first choice for those who have made meritorious contributions. Other soldiers with special talents were also nominated. For example, Xiao Fengru was nominated for third-class merit. The reason is very simple, because he saved the lives of several soldiers, and the soldiers all felt that he should make meritorious contributions.

These lists were approved by Zhang Zhun and publicly commended.

When Xiao Fengru learned about his meritorious service, he was obviously stunned. Then he felt a little unbelievable. He came to the guard's bulletin board and found his name on it to be sure that the news was true. But he never thought that he would make meritorious service. Originally, saving lives and healing the wounded was his inner work. Unexpectedly, he could obtain military merits by just doing his inner work. This made him feel a strong sense of belonging to the guard, and he was naturally more active when he did his own work.

During this period, matters related to the establishment of the navy were also underway.

In view of the good performance of the sailors in the battle, Zhang Zhun decided to formally establish the Fushansou Naval Army.

According to the battle sequence, the Fushan Institute's naval army was directly under the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhun, and they were two equal troops with the guards. Of course, Zhang Zhun served as the commander of the navy. Yang Guohua and Zhou Zhengyu served as deputy commanders respectively. Considering the particularity of the navy, Zhang Zhun offered food and wages for one tael and five cents a month, which was an average of five cents more than the guards.

After owning three ships, the number of naval troops had to be expanded to 100 people. This did not include special combat troops. Shandong has always lacked skilled sailors. The naval troops of the Ming Dynasty were all in the Dengzhou area. In the south, there were almost no naval troops. Therefore, the naval troops needed to cultivate their own sailors. In this way, the cost was too high. Zhang Zhun allocated 1,000 taels of silver at once and carried out various preparations, and soon disappeared.

I have to say that the navy is indeed a bottomless pit.

If the profits of glass were not going to be fulfilled soon, Zhang Zhun would not have such courage.

The combat team led by Zou Mingjia fought a very good sea battle with the cooperation of Ma Yi, Dugu Lie, Yang Weiguo, Liu Jixiang and others and gained rich combat experience. This shows that if the Hu Ben Gun is used well on the sea boat, it is still very useful. Especially the way to attack the enemy's sailing hand, no one can learn it. Because no one else does not have the Hu Ben Gun with such a long range, it is useless to learn it.

Most gunships are the most powerful, one ship has twenty or thirty cannons, which are distributed on both sides of the ship's side. During the battle, only one side can be put into use. More than a dozen cannons are already the enemy's main battleships. According to the information provided by Xue Zhidie, the large warships of the Red-haired Ghost, each side, are only thirty or forty cannons, which are already their flagships. The other warships do not have so many artillery at all.

In other words, as long as it is not encountered with the enemy's main battleship, the Hu Ben Gun can play a role. Moreover, the shooting speed of the cannon is much slower and much heavier than the Hu Ben Gun. Zhang Zhun can be glad to see that for a long time in the future, the Hu Ben Gun will be a killer weapon for the interruption of distance in naval battles.

Dugu Lie and others had never been on the boat before. They only conducted less than three days of training for the upcoming battle, and the results were already quite good. If the gunman had received special naval combat training, the results might be even more brilliant. After all, professional backgrounds are completely different from becoming a monk halfway.

After research, Zhang Zhun decided to draw fifty soldiers from the guard team to form the team of the naval combat team. These soldiers required to be flexible in movements, not seasick, and able to withstand a long and boring sea life. It would be even better if they knew the nature of water. Unfortunately, these people under Zhang Zhun were basically landslides, and it was really not easy to find a few people who knew the nature of water.

Fang He and Liu Dong were also transferred to the sailor combat team. The reason is very simple. They knew how to swim. Before joining the guards, they were descendants of fishermen. The fishermen of the Ming Dynasty were also hereditary. As the descendants of fishermen, they certainly did not know how to water. Zhang Zhun not only transferred the two to the sailors, but also gave two of them the task of catching men of ten of them, asking them to mobilize other fishermen to join the navy.

Zhang Zhun was originally planning to transfer Zhang Lingyun to the place, but Zhang Lingyun was not very willing. This kid was naturally afraid of water and had sea fear. He vomited a lot when he got on the ship, and almost vomited out his internal organs. Zhang Zhun did not force him. After the escort team transferred fifty main forces, they needed to replenish considerable backbones. At the same time, the escort team also needed to expand its troops against the continuous production of the Hu Ben gun, and there was a serious lack of officers! Zhang Lingyun could be a deputy.

The base of the navy is of course set up in Partridge Bay.

The area of ​​Partridge Bay is large, enough to dock twenty large warships at the same time. At the same time, the open space on both sides of the port is also very wide and there is enough space for logistics facilities. When you have money in the future, the shipyard and maintenance factory will also be set up here. Zhang Zhun wants to build Partridge Bay into a huge naval base.

As for Heilong Bay, which goes south to Queqiao Bay, it happens to be used as a civil port. Merchant ships traveling to Fushan City dock in Heilong Bay, and the goods are circulating there. It is only a dozen miles from Heilong Bay to Fushan City. Moreover, according to Zhang Zhun's plan, Fushan City will definitely expand by then. Maybe, it will expand directly to the Heilong Bay port.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, Fushan City held a grand celebration.

Martyrs such as Yang Junjie were naturally the greatest heroes. Each martyr sent his closest family members to come up to receive the reward. Yang Junjie's recipient was Xie Xiuniang. Yang Hongwen and other wounded people were also the targets of everyone's attention. After being acupunctured by Ning Lingwei with silver needles for three days, Yang Hongwen finally woke up. Then, his body recovered well. By the time the celebration meeting was held, he could already come to the stage to receive the award with the help of his comrades.

Dugu Lie and others also received good reviews. Ma Yi and others confirmed that there were at least five of the second Tartars who died on Dugu Hunter. Unfortunately, the number of pure Tartars was a little smaller, only two. However, this was a very good result. In addition, the performance of new warriors such as Wen Yong and Fang He was quite good in the battle. In the end, both were awarded the third-class merit.

The total military fields obtained by Yang Junjie through various channels have exceeded 50 acres, reaching 85 acres. According to the provisions of the Military Merit Order, the actual military fields awarded are 50 acres, and the others must be distributed in the form of honor and reward. Zhang Zhun decided to allow Yang Junjie's family to build a hero archway for him near the streets of Fushan City, with Yang Junjie's combat deeds engraved on them for people to admire and be remembered forever.

There is no doubt that this decision is a great stimulation for others. While gaining benefits, it is possible to leave a name in history. Who wouldn't want to? Yang Junjie's family is even more happy. This is the first archway that belongs to men, heroes and warriors since the establishment of Fushan City. The rest of the archways are archways. I believe that when the archway is completed, it will definitely attract countless admiring eyes.

After the celebration, Zhang Zhun called on the guards to carry out a large-scale training campaign.

After the battle, the escort added a considerable number of new soldiers to make up for the vacancies and wounded. These new soldiers were all top players selected from the second-line guerrillas and armed forces. They had mastered a considerable degree of combat skills, and some had the experience of fighting against the enemy. After joining the escort, they were naturally skilled and could quickly adapt to the life of the escort and integrate into this big family. Therefore, the combat effectiveness lost by the escort can be made up for in a very short time.

After this battle, everyone has more insights into the use of the Hu Ben Gun, and they have gradually accepted this kind of combat method that does not work closely together. In the past, hand-to-hand combat was still mainstream, with cannons and muskets being used auxiliaryly, even the Guanning Iron Cavalry. But now, with the existence of the Hu Ben Gun, the possibility of hand-to-hand combat is no longer great, unless the ammunition and food are exhausted. Fortunately, such a situation generally does not occur.

Therefore, everyone is digging as much as possible for the performance of the Hu Ben Gun. One is how to load the excavation as quickly as possible, and the other is how to shoot as accurately as possible. The faster the loading speed, the more accurate the shooting, the more damage it causes to the enemy. The greater the damage the enemy is, the greater the possibility of being defeated. Zhang Zhun's requirement for the guard is to drop the maximum Minnie bomb in the shortest time. If each soldier can fire six Minnie bombs in one minute, then even the Tatar cavalry cannot withstand such a rain of bullets.

The soldiers' thinking is indeed endless. Even changes in detail may have a considerable impact on the combat effectiveness of the troops. As long as each soldier uses his brain and puts forward suggestions for improvement in all aspects, the combat effectiveness of the guards will eventually reach an unprecedented level. Defeating the Tartars is only a matter of time, and even killing the Western powers is just around the corner.

What's even more rare is that the fear of the Tartars was completely eliminated. In front of the Hu Ben Gun, there was nothing that could not be killed. No matter how brave the Tartars were, just a small Minnie bullet was enough to send him to hell. Many soldiers still remembered the scene of Mukata falling. This Tartar must be the elite among the white-armored soldiers. If they fight with the other party, they may have to pay the price of several people to destroy the other party. However, with the Hu Ben Gun in his hand, he can take his life with just one light shot.

Of course, it is not easy to operate the Hu Ben Gun skillfully. On the battlefield, gunfire sounds, gunfires are filled with smoke, arrows fly around, screams, moans, shouts, and intersect each other, which is an extremely severe test for everyone's nerves. To achieve the collapse of Mount Tai before the face is not changed, repeated and rigorous training is required. In this battle, there are many people who perform bravely, but those who perform poorly also exist. Some Hu Ben Gun Guns are damaged by their owners' excessive tension and misoperation.

In order to exercise their strong nerves, the coach even puts snakes into the team members' clothes in a cold manner, and the team members require that they can accurately hit the target even in such a situation. The Korean women's archery team's performance is very excellent in every Olympic Games, which is not without reason. Behind every gold medal, countless sweat efforts are given.

Although Zhang Zhun did not use such training methods, he had stricter requirements for queues, internal affairs, military orders, etc. He also adopted a variety of methods to train the willpower of the soldiers. Secondly, he continued to emphasize discipline. On a chaotic battlefield, commands are everything, and different voices are absolutely not allowed to exist. Even wrong commands must be executed before it is said.

The warrior skill levels previously promoted are still effective.

In order to stimulate the soldiers to actively exercise their skills, the Guards held a skill competition on August 12th.

The rules of the competition are very simple, shooting. The target is set at 30 feet (about 90 meters). In the same time, whoever shoots the target the most times will be the winner. To win, two conditions must be met: the first one, the loading speed as fast as possible; the second one, the shooting as accurately as possible. No matter which condition is missing, it is difficult to laugh to the end.

Shooters with speed flow are often not very satisfactory in terms of hit rate. However, those who pursue hit rate too much and hold the Hu Ben gun and do not fire for a long time cannot reach the ideal height. Only when both are excellent and relatively balanced can they defeat the opponent. The game adopts the rules of knockout matches, and they are constantly screened layer by layer until the best warriors are selected.

In the end, two level 7 warriors and four level 6 warriors were selected in the skill competition.

Surprisingly, Dugu Lie, who had just joined the army, actually defeated many opponents and became one of the two giants. The other giant is Wen Yong, who is usually silent. Wen Yong's request after winning was quite literary. He wanted Zhang Zhun to give him two words. Well, the current guard team has a trend that doesn't know how to describe it, but likes art. Perhaps because everyone suffered from uneducated losses in the past, they now want to make up for it.

Zhang Zhun pondered for a moment and said, "Then call it Haowen!"

Wen Yong said happily: "Thank you sir."

Zhang Zhun smiled slightly.

It seems that it is necessary to let the soldiers of the guards learn cultural knowledge.
Chapter completed!
