I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The next day, Wu Changqing and many senior generals came to the shooting range to test the sniper team in this new city.

"What kind of new gun is this?"

Liu Hansan couldn't help asking when he saw those people reloading slowly.

These senior officers have now gradually become accustomed to the name of guns, and they are rarely called fire guns. As the saying goes, what is good is good, and what is good is below.

Wu Changqing called the fire gun a gun every time. Although these subordinates felt strange, they were not stupid enough to correct Wu Changqing's mistakes.

On the contrary, in order to echo Wu Changqing, they all changed their tune. Guns are guns. Anyway, just a name, it's not a big deal.

They are all used to Wu Changqing, who likes to invent new words. For example, Gewu has to be changed to physics, and the head of thousands of households has to be changed to head of the regiment.

"This is called a rifled gun. It doesn't matter how slow it is to reload, but it shoots far and accurately."

Wu Changqing explained, and then the soldiers began to shoot at targets two hundred meters away.

Seeing the target, Liu Hansan and others were puzzled. They could also see the intentions of these soldiers, but they couldn't figure it out.

Whether it is an arquebus or a flintlock gun, the deepest impression on these generals is the lack of accuracy. Only by forming a dense formation and winning by quantity can they be powerful.

Now suddenly let a single soldier hit such a long target, they are a little bit incomprehensible.

Bang, the first soldier fired first.

Through the telescope, Liu Hansan and others were surprised to find that a small hole was punched out of the target near the center.

Then, the second, the third, they were not as accurate as the first, they missed the heart, but they all hit the target.

This hit rate is already more than ten times that of a flintlock gun.

What kind of magical gun is this, everyone is stunned.

"This is terrible. Will the enemy generals dare to take the lead in the future?"

Qian Sule said with emotion, seeing the precise hit, he immediately thought of the role of this gun.

"Yes, General, isn't this gun specially used to shoot enemy officers?"

Wang Dafu came back to his senses.

"General, give me fifty people, and I promise to capture a section of the city wall."

Liu Hansan immediately issued a military order, and he was already imagining that kind of battle scene. As long as these fifty people go to the next stop in the city and kill the commander of the Qing army with one shot, those soldiers will become headless flies, and he can take advantage of the chaos to attack the city wall.

Officers in this era are very important to an army, and soldiers without officers can only fight on instinct and without rules. Without officers to suppress, those soldiers would easily flee and surrender.

Of course, officers of any period are very important to an army.

"You Liu Yingsan, you want to occupy all the good things. You want 50 by yourself, so what are we left with?"

Wang Dayong scolded him, "Who doesn't want to focus on this kind of arms that can play a miraculous effect."

There are about ten high-ranking generals present, and there are only a hundred rifled guns in total. On average, one person can't even get ten. Liu Hansan is better. He needs 50 people when he opens his mouth, and it seems that he also needs 50 guns. branch.

This other general will not agree, but the weight of others is not heavy enough to directly refute. Wang Dayong is not without such scruples. He is also one of the three veterans who followed Wu Changqing in the uprising, and his status is no lower than Liu Hansan.

"Look at what you said, I didn't want to break the city, I wanted to share the general's worries."

Liu Hansan complained.

"Don't fight, the left army is 30, the right army is 30, and the rest is allocated to the middle army. The guns are shared by every two people, one master and one pair, the main shooter is killed, and the deputy is on top. There are so many, and there is no way to increase the number in a short period of time, you must use these snipers reasonably and maximize their role."

Wu Changqing stopped their argument.

Unlike flintlocks, which are used in a concentrated manner, this kind of sniper can only be maximized when it is divided into various units.

Wu Changqing said something, and many generals shut up and stopped fighting.

At least, not fighting in front of Wu Changqing.

Wu Changqing was only divided into various armies, not subdivided into various divisions and brigades. At that time, they would have to waste their words.

"This rifled gun is amazing, why can its bullets not change direction?"

Li Shaobin turned into a curious baby, looking at a rifled gun and comparing it with a flintlock gun, wanting to explore its mysteries.

"This is because the barrel is engraved with rifling, and the bullet will maintain high-speed rotation when it is shot out. And the high-speed rotating object can maintain its inertia. After winning Nanjing, you can visit the kiln less and go to the university for further studies. It's good for you to gain some knowledge."

Wu Changqing said that an officer is not enough to say that he can command, it is better to have a wider range of knowledge. Because in marching and fighting, there are thousands of situations that may be encountered, and the wider the knowledge, the easier it is to solve problems.

"Subordinates obey."

Li Shaobin could only hold back his restless heart and prepare to go to the university to study hard.

Some people saw that Li Shaobin was deprived of the right to visit the kiln and gloated, but there were also more self-motivated officers who planned to take the time to study in the university.

Since Wu Changqing admired the university so much, it would definitely be beneficial to go to it and learn something.

That's what Qian Sule planned to do, and he not only planned to go by himself, but also planned to use his relationship to take advantage of his family's friends.

A more clever junior also got to the university hall.

After following Wu Changqing for a period of time, he is now more and more aware of the huge role of those miscellaneous studies.

Those miscellaneous learned to create soap soap, profit countless. Those miscellaneous scholars created flintlock guns, rifled guns, and had a huge impact on warfare.

During the time they were chatting, two hundred people had already played a round, of which five people hit the red heart, 37 people hit the inner ring, and 132 people hit the middle and outer ring.

A total of 174 people hit the target, and the remaining 26 people failed.

This result is already very good, after all, they have only practiced for one day. Give them more time to train in the future, and they will definitely do better.

The five soldiers who hit the red heart were rewarded on the spot. In addition to double the military pay, there was an additional reward of silver taels.

In particular, Yan Chonglou, who ranked first, was praised by Wu Changqing himself. Four hundred paces away, he hit the target.

This distance surprised many generals, and felt that the way of fighting in the future would change greatly.

After rewarding the silver taels, Wu Changqing suddenly wondered if he should get his military rank out.

Otherwise, some soldiers who have made meritorious deeds are not well rewarded, and the rewards are always too expensive, and it is not good to reward officials, because the sniper's specialty is shooting, not commanding.

If there is a military rank system, it will be easy to do, and some honorary military ranks can be awarded. It can improve their status without spending too much money, and also allow them to continue to develop their expertise.

However, now that he has come up with a military rank system, the court may have other ideas after seeing it.
