Chapter 25.22 The Ming Dynasty seaside where ignorance and enlightenment intertwine(2/2)

The Space-Time and Space Corps followed the principle of "localization" and began to tailor-made a technology tree for these craftsmen teams.

The steel pipe of the gun is forged by hydraulic iron and drilled out with a boring machine. Compared with modern rifles, the effective range (breaking a layer of mountain pattern armor) may be only fifty meters. As for the bullet, it is even more perfunctory, using paper shell bullets.

It is still in the 16th century, and the creation of transcendent technology should be used less. Even if it is necessary to create technologically, the "items" that transcend the times cannot be left behind for hundreds of years, allowing future generations to find a time-travel node.

At this time, on the school ground, recruits wearing linen clothes were training for straw sandals and cloth shoes.

Standing on the red brick building, Wei Keng: "I also want to make a single head of a copper shell, but now the iron barrel is worn and rifled very seriously. And China lacks copper."

These infantrymen have only 30% of their target rate at 50 meters.

Wei Keng was extremely suspicious whether they had the courage to fire the second round of guns when they encountered the current Ming Dynasty iron hoof.

Paper shell bullets have serious problems with difficulty in removing shells.

Imagine the scene after the firecrackers were stuffed into the cracks of the wall and exploded. I want to pick out the shredded paper? It’s all stuck inside the cracks of the wall.

On the eve of the Industrial Revolution, the paper was made of paper shells and bullets, and then it was pressed by a special press to become hard cardboard that was comparable to metal. Even so, if it was slightly damp in storage, the paper shell would be softer. If the protection was insufficient, it would be difficult to remove the shell after firing and then pulling it out with a small metal hook like an ear spoon.

Therefore, the experience when I was first used when I went to the Aurora plane was used. Wei Keng simply designed the rifle breeze into a rotor style, which is the revolver with a stock extension version. Because the firing parts are unreliable and the industrial accuracy is insufficient, the chemical preparation of the ceramic large cylinder is too rough. In order to prevent the deadly problem of spontaneous combustion of the base fire, flintlock is still used.

Su Qianheng gave a lecture against the first group of local fishermen, a group of 100 people.

Three months later, the savage instructors rolled up their sleeves to correct everyone's posture of holding guns: "The bullet is a fool, and the bayonet is a hero. The muskets in your hands are mainly used for assassination, and only your superiors can fire can they shoot."

The guns received by these new recruits were all the same as the sharp bayonets in front were shining with a quenched blue light, which gave people the first impression of a cold weapon.

The so-called "bullets are fools, bayonets are heroes" is what they shout at the recruits.

Later generations of weapons experts studied bayonet lethality and bullet damage, and believed that this was a foolish judgment.

Later weapons experts said that modern officers "do not understand guns and cannons", so now the local officers in the modern army are trained and said that you do not understand "army".

The most important thing for the army is discipline. Cold weapons have entered the era of hot weapons. Fire will bring huge psychological support to new recruits who have just started on the battlefield. New recruits who fire randomly waste ammunition is second, and what is even more fatal is that they are immersed in the fire and cannot accept other orders.

A soldier who cannot obey orders can no longer be considered a soldier.

You should know that on the battlefield, you should not only shoot, but also observe the enemy's targets, attack the enemy's positions, and compete for bunkers. Set up a flag to open fire for the artillery's guidance.

The first battlefield shooting of the recruits was basically unable to play the role of bullets. A round of volleys shots and collapsed when the cavalry rushed in front of them. They had no trump cards in their hearts, and the commander could not listen to the commander even if he had orders.

Therefore, in the early days of firearms, the commanders chose to use the lie "bayonet hero, bullet fool" to focus the recruits on their own bayonets first. Their hands subconsciously used their strength to "poke" the bayonet instead of pulling their fingers on the trigger.

And for all soldiers: "shooting bullets" together is a psychological trump card.

When everyone has a psychological trump card, the resistance of the troops will increase.

So Su Qianheng now began to emphasize to these new recruits under his command: "If a hero does not shoot first, the bayonet determines the outcome."

Wei Keng shook his head and did not stop it completely. He just added one to the infantry exercise script: "Tactic ambush as much as possible, use bunkers to charge, put close shots, and aim at the attack."

At the same time, Wei Keng strengthened the training of squad leaders. These squad leaders required the mathematics and Chinese culture of primary schools. At least the first-level class leader must be able to write battle report formats (various message posts in primary schools, formats for leave letters), and can use a ruler to measure the distance on the map.

In military entertainment, we use the Jianghu method to tell the classics of Chinese war culture. For example, in the debate between Cao Gui, the battle was reduced and exhausted again and again, which is the current combat significance.

As a general, Wei Keng knew that morale is a floating concept. The effectiveness of firepower is related to the combat courage of soldiers and how to maximize the projection of firepower. This is a skill that an officer must study.

…At this time, a brand new armed group began to rise on the sea in East Asia...

Regarding the army on Wu Island, the army is new in all aspects, and to some extent, it is newer than the new Beiyang army.

The Beiyang New Army was a combat force smashed with the silver from the whole country under the feudal order. The specific organization was only equivalent to the army of the Sha Dahu family in the 21st century, and it was not linked to the interests of economic industries and overseas trade. Once the treasury money is used up, the army will not find economic support and will scatter.

The monthly salary of the soldiers of the Beiyang Army was 5 taels of silver. Based on the salary that could be hired by the middle-level staff, at that time, one tael of silver was 2,000 yuan, and four to five taels were the monthly salary of nine thousand in the early 21st century.

Now, Wei Keng gives them quite generously in purchasing local military quotas, but the salary for ordinary soldiers to train is only half a tael of silver, and the officers only have one tael of silver monthly salary.

The key to raising an army is not about money, but about the treatment of military soldiers.

At present, in the new army of the Time and Space Administration, there is no need to worry about all daily necessities. The bedding used is linen for weaving workshops. You can study with pens and paper every day. Everyone has glass cans every week, and the best training team gets double portions.

It is more worth mentioning that "treatment" in the army is gradually rising with the "military position".

Overall, from the perspective of military supplies, the majority of military expenditure is supplied by local workshops, and some products are given to military use as "military tax". Of course, taxes are collected and the army will help them sell the supplies.

Military power is the most arrogant and powerful force that opens channels.

Compared with feudal forces in the industrial era, the biggest difference between the "maintenance of the army" is the loss. Since the feudal system has no industrial finance, it can only directly reward silver, while the industrial army relies on the "treatment" provided by industrial production to protect morale.

From this point of view, Beiyang is actually an "old army" in essence.

The old feudal army would eventually collapse due to the financial shortage of feudal groups. For example, Mr. Jiang's eight million army could only issue gold coupons in the end.

But for the industrial forces, as long as the local industrial potential is preserved, the military opens up commercial markets and raw material channels.

So how many troops to support depends entirely on the population! This is how the outbreak of Germany broke out in the two wars.

Although the "Social Party" is only a little bit in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Keng is also ready to have the margin to deal with the "big attack" of the Ming Dynasty Army.

Mr. Wei estimated the finances in the late Jiajing year, and it seemed that he was not as generous as his grandson.
