"Correction of all elements, elevation angle 30 degrees, east 20, west 40... Launch!"

"Boom...boom..."

The continuous explosions sounded in the artillery training positions. Nearly two thousand artillery soldiers from the artillery battalion and three infantry battalions were doing training to familiarize themselves with artillery firing.

"It's difficult to win one of ten." Su Buheng looked at the results and shook his head. The training results at the beginning were not ideal, and the hit rate was very low.

Moreover, this is the hit rate of direct aiming. If the artillery observer commands the firing, the artillery below may make the degree wrong.

"Take it slowly!" Zhao Yan said expressionlessly. Then he asked the artillery battalion to practice aiming and shooting first. Aiming and shooting mainly depends on range measurement. The aiming experience can be practiced slowly.

Then, they gave these artillery classes every day, and Zhao Yan gave those artillery soldiers math classes, teaching them to recognize Arabic numerals and ballistics.

Other artillery soldiers, Zhao Yan's long-prepared education team was selected to teach them, first teaching them to recognize words and simple arithmetic.

Zhao Yan's Ministry of Education has been established since last year and has been compiling pinyin dictionaries and vernacular textbooks. Among these people, some local celebrities have naturally opposed Zhao Yan's education reform and kicked Zhao Yan out directly.

Anyway, if you like to do it or not, some people will do it if you don’t.

There were actually quite a lot of scholars in the Ming Dynasty. Many people failed to get into scholars, juren, and even more so, they were not reliable in the Jinshi. At the same time, their families were poor, but it did not mean that they failed to get into basic skills.

Zhao Yan gave him five taels of silver and one stone of rice and grain every month. There are literati in the world who are eager to do it, and there is no shortage of one, and no shortage of one.

Write with a pencil and a quill, teach you to recognize words in pinyin, teach students to vernacular Chinese, use Arabic numerals in mathematics, and multiplication tables. These are what Zhao Yan requires them, and first they must learn. As long as they pass, Zhao Yan will give them good treatment.

After more than half a year of study, a teaching staff of more than 300 people has been trained. Their level is no problem in teaching primary schools.

The Chinese Pinyin Dictionary was also written, and for this reason, Zhao Yan also established a paper mill and printing factory to seize the time to print the Pinyin Dictionary and Textbooks.

The content of the textbook is mostly historical subjects, and most of them are from Zhao Yan's hands. It has the glory of national heroes, the tragedy of the barbarians and the consequences and reflections of the implementation of various policies in the past dynasties. The main purpose is to cultivate a sense of honor, mission, crisis, and cultivate basic common sense for governing the world.

The most important thing is quality education. Zhao Yan does not intend to force the education methods of future generations. Education in later generations is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops only looking at the grades, not the quality, and also bringing some fools.

Without sufficient qualities, a strong nation will definitely not be created, and there is no need to discuss too much about this.

Except for the soldiers from the artillery battalion, the same is true for the soldiers from other battalions. Every night, teachers come to the barracks to teach them pinyin, writing, and arithmetic.

For a moment, it made the battalions complain, and it was okay to let them practice, but it was as uncomfortable as if they were caught by a cat.

Zhao Yan needs cultural soldiers very much. After all, the military system he adopted makes war more complicated and refined, and it will inevitably require more cultural soldiers.

For ordinary soldiers, maybe they only need to obey orders and kill enemies, not much culture, and even illiterate can be done.

But Zhao Yan still hopes that a group of cultural soldiers can emerge from them and become the backbone of the society after being discharged from the army.

In order to improve the soldiers' active attitude towards cultural learning, Zhao Yan adopted a two-pronged approach.

Anyone who can write 100 words will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver, and those who can write 500 words will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver, and those who can understand the dictionary will be rewarded with 1 tael of silver. Those who can write most commonly used characters, as well as soldiers who can add, subtract, multiply and divide, will be given a monthly salary of 2 taels.

Whenever you are promoted, the platoon leader needs to be able to write 100 words, the company commander needs to be able to write 500 words, and understand the dictionary. The battalion commander needs to be able to write most commonly used words, and can add, subtract, multiply and divide.

Each battalion will select 50 best progress awards every month, reward 2 taels of silver, and award a medal of progress.

After these policies, the soldiers' active surnames have indeed improved a lot. Every night, almost everyone is studying hard. Some soldiers who give up themselves have joined the ranks of learning with bitter face after being persuaded by the Education Commission.

If you learn well, you will receive rewards, but if you don’t learn well, you will not be promoted. The promotion is the fastest way to increase the salary. The platoon leader’s military salary reaches five taels per month, the company commander reaches seven taels, and the battalion commander’s fifteen taels per month.

"Everyone needs to study hard. Our general will recruit many more people in the future. At that time, you have to lead the new recruits. Whoever makes merit or knows what I can tell the word will lead them." Li Shenxing, the first battalion education committee, said in a constant stream: "If you don't learn, even if you make great contributions, you will only be a soldier in the future. What is our slogan?"

"Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers." The soldiers below answered in unison.

"Do you want to be a general?" Li Shenxing asked loudly.

"Think." The answer was very loud, without any hesitation. Everyone hoped to fight against the aliens like Huo Qubing and Yue Fei.

"Since you want to learn it well, you can learn something. If you don't understand it, gentlemen will teach it. In fact, it's not difficult, just follow it step by step. As long as you learn the pinyin and understand the dictionary. Even if you learn two words every day, you will be able to recognize two thousand words in three years. What's the difficulty of being promoted to battalion commander at that time?" Li Shenxing said loudly, and after being a member of the army for more than half a year, his voice has become louder.

Li Shenxing's words filled the soldiers below with confidence, and it seemed that this thing was not that difficult!

The words of the other battalions were almost the same, which boosted the morale of each battalion for learning literature. Every night, the soldiers of each battalion read at night, and even during the daytime training and rest, many soldiers also wrote and painted on the ground with branches.

...

The battalion commanders of each battalion are very stressed about literacy with soldiers. The literacy scores of each battalion are compared every month, and there are training competitions every month.

The training competition won, and the literacy competition was a little bit more cursed. The literacy scores improved, and the training was a little bit less cursed. Every month, Zhao Yong and Wang Wenyue were trained to the point of being dirty. Lin Yi's cavalry battalion lacked comparison, so it would be better. If the literacy progress of the Cavalry Battalion was compared, it would inevitably be cursed.

The weapons trained by the cavalry battalion have also changed, and bows and arrows have been eliminated, and a newly developed cavalry rifle is equipped. This cavalry rifle type is a reduced version of the flintlock rifle used by infantry. The effective range is 100 meters and can penetrate armor within 80 meters.

It is also equipped with a relatively convenient holster. After firing the bullet, you can insert the robber into the holster and then change the saber to fight in close combat.

Zhao Yan was constantly writing advanced mathematics textbooks, each teaching the main gunner ballistics of the artillery battalion.

As the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, Su Buheng was very concerned about ballistics. Su Buheng, who had served in the army, naturally knew that Zhao Yan valued ability.

If he can't show his superior ability, the position of battalion commander will probably have to be replaced.

Zhao Yan also focused on teaching Su Buheng. After all, if he trained someone who could get on track, he could get out of the training of the artillery battalion.

Artillery is being produced continuously. By September, more than 100 75mm field guns have been equipped. Although the effective range of this 75 field gun is only about 1,200 meters, it can shoot shells out of 2,000 meters, with a maximum elevation angle of 35 degrees.

Grenades only have the ability to attack within 1,200 meters, but the grenades fired within 2,000 meters have the ability to kill the enemy, which is a good field gun.

After more than a month of experiments, the artillery laboratory determined that a 260-pound 75mm howitzer was found, with a diameter of only 13 times, a tube length of 0.97 meters, and a charge volume of nearly half. The effective range of the fortifications was only 300 meters and a maximum range of 1,200 meters.

The main function of this 75mm field howitzer is to launch grenades to kill enemy troops within 1,200 meters. It has a maximum elevation angle of 65 degrees and is half lighter than that of the 75-meter field cannon.

First of all, the weight of the howitzer itself is lighter than that of the cannon, and then this type of howitzer sacrifices its range and reduces its weight to 260 kilograms.

With a weight of 260 kilograms, a horse can be pulled away.

This kind of howitzer is mainly equipped with infantry battalion artillery, while the artillery battalion's artillery is mainly equipped with 75mm field cannons, and it also needs to be equipped with some siege cannons with larger calibers.

Each artillery is equipped with horse pulling, and the requirement for mobile surnames is as fast as possible.

At the same time, this lightweight field howitzer can be equipped to the cavalry artillery battalion. Although the artillery battalion also has horses, the main task of the artillery battalion is ultra-long-range killing and attacking. The artillery is equipped with heavier artillery, so the mobile surname is lower.

The main function of the cavalry and artillery battalion is to provide fire support and kill the enemy. The mobile name will be stronger. The cavalry and artillery battalion has not been formed yet, and it is not so urgent.

The standard of field artillery was determined, and the main research and development direction of the artillery laboratory became grenade detonation fuses, as well as the research on medium and heavy siege cannons.

This 75mm cannon grenade has a killing diameter of about eight meters.

The key to the grenade is the explosion time. If it explodes at a height of hundreds of meters, it will definitely not explode. The grenade technology in later generations was a ground-to-ground explosion. There was not such a powerful technology in this era, so it could only explode regularly with fuses.

Therefore, it is necessary to design grenades with different explosion time corresponding to the artillery model and distance, and cooperate with the artillery's familiarity with these data to exert real lethality.

In the meantime, the functions of heavy siege cannons are mainly for city defense, siege, and naval use.

Artillery bombings often occur in artillery laboratories, but with safety fuses, people run far away in advance, and artillery research is very convenient.

The artillery experiment in this era was very difficult, mainly because there was no safety fuse, so the emergence of new artillery was not so fast.

Zhao Yan's artillery laboratory uses iron mold casting technology and safety fuses, and new artillery experiments are almost every day, and then various data are recorded to continue to study the new artillery...
