The scale of enrollment expansion this time is very large. After the enrollment expansion, Zhao Yan's military strength will reach 15,000 people. The demand for equipment is huge, and the craftsmen in the Military Equipment Bureau have become extremely busy.

At the same time, it is expected that two thousand hydraulic forging machines and one thousand hydraulic turbines will be built along the Huangshui River. It is specialized in the production of plate armor, and the river next to Zhaojia Village is no longer enough.

The Huangshui River is not far from Huang County, just over 30 miles to the east.

...

The recruitment has been launched throughout Shandong. Zhao Yan offered a monthly salary of 2 taels of silver and guaranteed full payment every month. Once the election is selected, three taels of settlement fees will be immediately paid.

There is another type of military that is treated higher, that is, cultural soldiers. Anyone who can recognize literature and characters and whose physical fitness meets the standards will be given 4 taels of silver per month. These cultural soldiers are naturally used to be artillery soldiers.

Artillery must calculate the parabola plus air resistance, and also understand the distance measurement, which all need to be calculated.

There were many Catholics in the late Ming Dynasty, and many officials were also involved.

Faced with the decay of Liaodong's military, these Catholics often wrote books to attract the attention of the dynasty, with the focus on Western firearms.

The craftsmen in the artillery laboratory used to study "Western Magic Machine", "Western Firearm Method" and "Fire Attack" for more than half a month, but the things they found were wrong and were confused.

Although the marking of the gun ruler in the "Western Firearm Method" is much clearer than that in the "Fire Attack and Charge", it is still inaccurate. For example, in the scale of one of the figures, there should be a finer marking between two values ​​with a gap of 5, but it is mistakenly divided into six grids; the "Fifteenth" on the iron bullet ruler is engraved as "Five", and the gun rule diagram drawn in the same book should have divided one quadrant into twelve equal parts, and it is also mistakenly drawn into thirteen equal parts. In addition, the range tables of different elevation angles listed in the book (based on the range of the flat shooting as the base) also have many errors. The reasons for these errors may be intentional to avoid leakage of this secret science.

Strictly speaking, these works are just to attract the attention of the rulers, and the rulers are not experts, so naturally they cannot see the problems.

Moreover, those things are military secrets and cannot be made public.

Gun rules, gun rulers and meters are aiming methods used in contemporary China and the West. When Sun Yuanhua was training artillery in Denglai, he probably trained these things mainly, but after the Wuqiao mutiny, he was completely finished.

However, Zhao Yan had a more advanced aiming method, which was the theory that the trajectory of the shell in the vacuum proposed by Galileo in 1638 was parabola.

However, Galileo did not take into account the air resistance, and the manufacturing of artillery and gunpowder could not be standardized, so the error was still very large. However, the calculation method mastered by Zhao Yan cannons, ammunition and gunpowder in the Military Bureau adopted quantitative allocation method.

Galileo's parabola theory, combined with the method of calculating air resistance, is ballistics. Ballistics has high requirements for soldier culture and requires training.

With the Billy criterion used for distance measurement, the accuracy of artillery should be almost the same.

It is not that easy to form an artillery battalion!

There were also several majestic soldiers wearing plate armor standing in the place of the recruitment. The second place of Denglai was quite enthusiastic about the recruitment. Almost as soon as the recruitment notice was released, many young and strong men ran to the recruitment.

Zhao Yan's creditworthiness is still very high in Denglai.

The recruitment bureau is well known in Denglai. As long as you introduce a person you need to work in the Zhao family, you can get a reward.

Those who had a try-making attitude all got the money, which also gave birth to a new profession in Denglai, which specifically recruited people for Zhao Yan everywhere.

The suppression of bandits a few months ago also made the people of Denglai know this army, and the places where they passed were strictly disciplined and did not violate them. Everyone praised the people of Denglai.

Although Denglai was deserted, some were not affected by military disasters, and there were a large number of self-cultivated farmers. Due to the underdeveloped economy of the East Three Prefectures, most of them were in a state of self-sufficiency and did not implement division of agricultural production.

The people of Denglai Palace rarely doubted Zhao Yan's credit, and they would naturally give him two liang.

The recruitment in the second palace of Denglai was relatively smooth, while the recruitment in the third palace of the East was not so smooth. The people of the East were relatively far away from the concept of the guerrilla general of Denglai, and Pingyu had not heard much.

I only know that this time the guerrilla general of Denglai was coming to conquer the big head soldiers. Although the recruiting department said that he would give two taels of silver a month, many people were skeptical.

However, many people were still attracted by the Sanliang An family expenses and went to the recruiting place to recruit troops. After all, many people in the East Three Prefectures had a hard time having a day, so they went there with a try.

Overall, it was quite smooth. After a month of recruitment, the quota has been completed, but the recruitment of artillery is a bit unpleasant.

Those who can recognize texts and characters have recruited more than 400 people. Even the artillery in the infantry battalion is not enough, let alone the formation of the artillery battalion.

If there is no condition, I can only get tough. Zhao Yan immediately asked someone to recruit some smarter people, but I don’t know if their learning ability will be better.

The recruited soldiers were quickly assigned.

This expansion Zhao Yan promoted many veterans, promoted Li Ran, the company commander of the Second Battalion, to battalion commander of the Third Battalion, and Wu Yongliang, the company commander of the Cavalry Battalion, to battalion commander of the Second Battalion.

General Staff Su Buheng was promoted to battalion commander of the artillery battalion.

In addition, a large number of veterans were transferred to grassroots officers. Zhao Yan didn't have long established the army, and those veterans said they didn't have much experience, but they knew the training process and details of the army.

This large-scale promotion is based on the principle that those who have made meritorious operations will be promoted first and those who are educated will be given priority.

For example, Su Buheng, who was from the Artillery Battalion, had a high diploma and was a scholar. Because his whole family was killed by Kong Youde's soldiers, he decided to abandon his pen and join the army. When he expanded his enrollment for the second time, he was recruited into Zhao Yan's servants when he was in a hot mood.

Facts have proved that Su Buheng's choice was correct. Zhao Yanjun lacked high-level talents like him, and was selected to serve in the General Staff not long ago.

Now Zhao Yan has been appointed as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion.

"Entering the barracks?" Su Buheng didn't quite understand what kind of battalion this was. Should the soldiers have to set up a separate battalion? Su Buheng, who had been in the General Staff for a while, still had research on the current war system of the Zhao family army and knew the role of various troops, but he had never been involved in artillery.

After the expansion of enrollment, each battalion entered a training period, and each battalion commander began to work hard to train his own soldiers.

As the first infantry battalion and the second battalion, the two old battalions, there are basically no mistakes in the queue, and the training of each army is on the right track.

The cavalry of the first cavalry battalion can already achieve preliminary coordination when marching, and can maintain the speed between horses and speed to a certain extent.

The new camp has backbone transferred to the old camp, so Zhao Yan doesn’t need to worry about training.

Only in the artillery battalion, Zhao Yan needed to take action personally to serve as a cannon arts teacher. Zhao Yan first changed the word "cannon" to "cannon". After Su Buheng looked at it, he said that the word "cannon" was very vivid. I don't know if it was flattery or something, but Zhao Yan did not like the word "cannon".

"Sir, how should this artillery be trained? No one has touched that thing!" As the battalion commander, Su Buheng was concerned about the first issue of training.

The battalion commanders of other battalions have been trained enthusiastically since taking office, while the artillery battalion and the three infantry battalions are still quiet.

"Let's divide it into two parts! The more than 400 people who can read, as the main gunner, I will teach ballistics. Other gunners learn to control artillery during the day and learn to recognize words at night." Zhao Yan also had a headache.

The artillery was blank! He himself was half a bastard.

Yesterday, Zhao Yan summarized that artillery soldiers should have mobile surnames and accurate surnames. They also need to consider security surnames in normal times, and some infantry protection is needed.

The artillery needs careful maintenance, and the most important thing is to cooperate with the stairs, cavalry and cannons.

Practice according to these purposes.

You have to go up if you have the conditions, and you have to go up if you don’t have the conditions!
