Chapter 54 Firearms Training

After leaving Chen Xiaoshan's house, Feng Jian came to the Military Research Institute again to find Zhang Dalai.

Feng Jian took out the darts he carried with him and said, "Old Zhang, see how many darts can be made in a day?"

Zhang Dalai saw the power of Feng Jian’s dart in the Shuangfeng Canyon. That time, more than 400 of them, young and old, followed Hu Dadao to Huluyan. When they arrived at Shuangfeng Canyon, they were attacked by bandits of Moxishan.

At the critical moment, Feng Jian injured Mozhihu, the commander of Mozhihu, with a dart, and more than 400 young and old were able to escape.

Zhang Dalai estimated it briefly and said, "Commander, it is not complicated to add feathers from the production and polishing of this dart to the end. It is estimated that there will be no problem in making at least 100 pieces a day."

"Well, then I will make 500 of them in the past few days. This commander will use it soon."

"Subordinates obey the order."

"After the dart production, the commander will send someone to accept it, and I won't disturb you."

After saying that, Feng Jian stopped staying and turned to the Zhenshan Camp training ground. The formation drill in the morning of Zhenshan Camp should have ended.

Feng Jian worked all morning, and his stomach was chubby and roaring. He felt that he should choose a few personal guards to be with him, such as the Darts and Darts Institute to make darts and send orders to Zhenshan Camp to do errands.

The young man from Chen Xiaoshan is good. If Ye Bu Sue is established, you can be transferred to him to train and use. The other candidates for personal guards are to be decided, and they are generally selected from Ye Bu Sue soldiers.

When Huluyan was established, he promised that all small flag officials would automatically become the command center staff officers. Later, the small flag officials of Jishou Mashan and three others were selected to join Zhenshan Camp. Mashan is now the chief of the second bureau Huang Fuchun in Zhenshan Camp.

Now the remaining seven small flag officials in the command center were originally from each post. At that time, Feng Jian appointed these people as the command center staff. However, now the Huluyan Command Center is just a name for itself, and most of the actual responsibilities have been transferred to Zhenshan Camp.

Because the remaining seven staff members failed to meet the selection criteria of Zhenshan Camp, they had to stay in the command center and do nothing. The seven were ordinary village households, and they didn't know one of them. They made the seven staff members do nothing all day long by name, which obviously did not meet Feng Jian's wishes.

These people turned out to be small flag officials at their respective posts. Among the seven people, Feng Jian had a good impression of Qin Huaibao and Pan Zhaoying.

Qin Huaibao is a good farmer. Such people should work in the Mutual Aid Association. Feng Jian also asked Qin Huaibao if he was willing to work in the Mutual Aid Association. Qin Huaibao was greedy for the title of the Guluyan Command and was hesitant.

Pan Zhaoying is relatively slick in character, good at dancing and handling interpersonal relationships. Feng Jian thinks that Pan Zhaoying is suitable for business, and in the future, Huluyan business can be handed over to him.

Prosecutor Feng considered how to arrange these seven people at this stage, so he could not let these people stay in the meeting hall all day and do nothing!

I thought about it all the way to the Zhenshan Camp training ground. As soon as I entered the training ground, I found that the bird gun soldiers were practicing shooting under the guidance of Sun Fang.

According to the training plan, after the formation training in the morning, the three major troops of Zhenshan Camp were trained separately. Because Sun Fang was able to use bird guns, he was pulled by Feng Jian to serve as a bird gun soldiers training officer.

There are currently three firearms seized from the Shijia, one musket and two bird guns in Zhenshan Camp.

The musket requires two people to cooperate to complete the shooting, so it is natural that Feng Jian gave up.

There are only two bird guns left, which of course is far from meeting the training needs. There is no way for the bird gun soldiers to temporarily pass Sun Fang's explanation and take turns to operate the bird gun.

This situation is like learning about motor vehicle driving in later generations. More than a dozen people were assigned to a coach car. When learning to drive, each person could only take turns getting on the bus and driving for a few minutes. When encountering the coach, he was in a bad mood, and even driving for a few minutes became a luxury!

The serious shortage of weapons and equipment has become the biggest obstacle to the development of Zhenshan Camp, but this kind of thing cannot be solved by speaking. It is useless to do it in a hurry, so you have to find a way to solve it step by step.

Zhang Dalai assured Feng Jian that as long as there was sufficient iron material, the Weapon Development Institute could ensure that the swords and guns of the soldiers of Zhenshan Camp, and even the armor were made, and even bird guns could be imitated. Therefore, the key to the problem was whether the raw materials were sufficient.

Feng Jian set that the conditions for the inspection allow, and the firearms will be used as the main combat weapon of the soldiers in Zhenshan Camp. Therefore, a standardized bird gun training method can greatly increase the speed of the bird gun soldiers' formation and accumulate experience for the future construction of the Zhenshan Camp firearms troops.

At this stage, the bird gun soldiers in Zhenshan Camp are mainly familiar with a set of standardized bird gun training methods.

This training method stipulates that the assessment standards of bird gunners are not that they are very accurate in shooting, but that they are the standard of action and launch speed.

Sun Fang, who Feng Jian did not expect, actually had a set of bird gun soldiers' gun-firing techniques. During the training these days, he ordered bird gun soldiers to memorize the firing techniques, and then operate according to the specifications during training.

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the bird gun soldiers were equipped with bird guns, which was very complicated to fire. Feng Jian thought that the bird gun soldiers' weapons were flintlock guns rather than bird guns.

After all, flintlock rifles represent the direction of the development of thermal weapons, and flint fire device is the first firearm ignition system with reliable performance and relatively low price.

It first appeared in the mid-16th century and was popular until the mid-19th century before it was replaced by impact pulsator bolts. It should be said that the flintlock laid the foundation for all modern firearms.

Feng Jian was a small peasant in his later generations. In this era, not to mention making flintlock rifles, he couldn't even say what kind of structure the flintlock rifle was. Zhang Dalai, the Military Research Institute, and other craftsmen of this era should not count on him. He didn't even know how to make bird guns, so how could he know how to make flintlock rifles!

But Feng Jian knew that there was a great master of firearms in the Ming Dynasty at this time. He made the first flintlock rifle in Chinese history in July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, which was called a self-produced musket at that time.

Feng Jian generally knew that the inventor of the self-produced musket was named Bi Maokang, who was a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli. Now it is the third year of Chongzhen. Bi Maokang is currently the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. In other words, it will take another five years for the self-produced musket to be invented and manufactured by Bi Maokang.

Of course, if Feng Jian flapped his wings, the self-generated musket might have been released a few years earlier. Although Feng Jian knew that this invention would invent and manufacture the self-generated musket, and also knew where he was, as a bandit, not to mention contacting Bi Maokang, it would be impossible to meet him!

Therefore, Feng Jian's idea of ​​being unattainable for the time being was temporarily unattainable. What he needs most now is that the bird gun soldiers in Zhenshan Camp can be equipped with a bird gun for training.

At this time, the bird gun soldiers were taking turns shooting training on the Zhenshan Camp training ground. In the queue, Sun Fang kept reciting the gun-firing technique:

A wash gun

Second drug

Three medicines

Four lead

Five free lead

Six strokes

Seven paper delivery

Eight open fire door

Nine drug line

Ten still open the fire door and press the fire rope

He heard the eleventh, and ordered the fire door to be opened to check the thief.

The three soldiers holding bird guns were concentrating on listening to the gun-firing technique step by step, while the rest of the bird gun soldiers followed Sun Fang to repeat the gun-firing technique one by one.

"According to the operating specifications of command long bird guns, bird gun soldiers do not require accurate launches, but require increased shooting speed to form a greater shooting density. Therefore, each bird gun soldier must be proficient in the launch steps of bird guns and require completion of the launch within thirty breaths. Now no one can meet the requirements..."

Sun Fang repeated the gun-firing technique. After the three soldiers who had finished raising the gun returned to the queue, they explained the standards and requirements for the bird-firing. When he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw Feng Jian standing aside and watching the bird-firing soldiers training. Sun Fang immediately stopped explaining and saluting.

Feng Jian waved his hand to stop him, and saw all the bird gun soldiers clenched their fists in their right hand and placed them flat in front of their chests. He looked at him and shouted in unison: "Commander!"

Feng Jian's face turned solemn. He took a step forward and clenched his fist with his right hand and looked at the soldier in front of his chest and said, "Brothers, thank you all for your hard work."

After the mutual military salute, Feng Jian turned his eyes to Sun Fang and said kindly: "Old Sun, I have disturbed your training. You may not know that the "Training Outline" of Zhenshan Camp stipulates that soldiers cannot be interrupted artificially during training. No one can violate the military rules and regulations of Zhenshan Camp. Of course, you are here to train soldiers in Zhenshan Camp, and you cannot use the Zhenshan Camp standards to require them."

Sun Fang's face turned red and said, "Hey, the villain really doesn't know the military rules of Zhenshan Camp. Please forgive me. I don't know if the villain is qualified to be selected for Zhenshan Camp."

Feng Jian said in a gentle tone: "This commander doesn't matter. You have to pass the Zhenshan Camp test standards. Haha, do you also want to join Zhenshan Camp?"

Sun Fang bowed and said, "I saw that although my brothers have worked hard, the changes are huge. I felt a sense of panting when I stood in front of them these days, and I was so envious. Therefore, the villain and several brothers of the family wanted to join Zhenshan Camp."

Feng Jian smiled and said, "There are only a test for you guys these days. With the conditions of you guys, it should not be difficult to be selected into Zhenshan Camp!"

Sun Fang thanked him in surprise. Feng Jian interrupted him and said, "How is the training situation in the past few days?"

Sun Fang bowed and said, "The brothers have recited and memorized the gun technique, and the rest is to follow the techniques. However, the Zhenshan Camp now lacks bird guns. It will take a long time for brothers to master and launch the fire guns."

Feng Jian said, "Yes, the lack of weapons and weapons is our biggest weakness of Zhenshan Camp. Let's find a way! However, Zhang Da from the Military Research Institute said that they may imitate bird guns. Maybe your bird gun soldiers will use bird guns soon."

As he said that, he patted Sun Fang on the shoulder and said, "You have made great contributions, and in just a few days, my brothers have memorized the art of firing the gun."

Although Sun Fang was slick, he was aware of the current affairs. Feng Jian’s statement in front of the soldiers of Zhenshan Camp made Sun Fang feel warm. The previous worries disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly bowed and said, “It’s all the commander’s teachings. The brothers of Zhenshan Camp have been trained hard. The villain dare not take credit! Like the brothers of Zhenshan Camp, they have always hoped that they could be equipped with a bird gun!”

Although Feng Jian was anxious about the source of the chasm campfire, he could not bring any worries on the surface. He smiled and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. I will do basic training first and lay a solid foundation."
