As for the left and right wing adjutants of the Grenadier Corps, only one relatively suitable person was selected.

Because for the grenadiers, or grenadiers, no one except Yang Zhen knows what this grenadier team does.

It was Li Lu who had doubts about what role the Grenadier Corps could play, or how big a role it could play. It was only out of trust or "blind obedience" to Yang Zhen that he took up the task of forming the Grenadier Corps without hesitation.

The burden of the team.

Moreover, Yang Zhen's subordinate No. 200 was first selected by the musketry team and then selected by the artillery team. You can also imagine what the remaining people are like.

Either they are old, weak, sick or disabled, or they are not very popular, or they have no special skills.

All in all, the left and right wings of the musketry team are not needed, and the left and right wings of the artillery team cannot enter. Anyway, it is just a gunpowder bomb, and the arms and legs are complete.

However, no matter how lacking in technical content this team is, they can always choose a big guy from among them.

But the one who was elected this time was the sharp-headed soldier "Pan Xizi" who had been complaining loudly in the queue before.

This choice surprised Yang Zhen and made Zhang Degui dissatisfied, but overall, it was in line with the temperament of the Grenadier team envisioned by Yang Zhen.

Grenadiers are those who dare to charge, fight hard, and are not afraid of death. They really need some stupid, 250-year-old characters.

And Pan Xi, who has always been fearless, unruly and unyielding, fits the role of the adjutant of the Grenadier Corps.

However, Yang Zhen finally divided the 66-man Grenadier team into two, into the left and right wings, with thirty-three people each. Li Lu, the chief officer, directly led the left wing and held the team flag, and Pan Xi served as the adjutant of the right wing.

, obey Li Lu’s temperance command.

Yang Zhen led everyone to appoint the chief officers and adjutants of each team of the advance battalion in public at the primary school grounds, and then presented the team flags to them.

Finally, the team chiefs and adjutants themselves decided in public the following chiefs and corps commanders.

The basic organization of the temporary Ningyuan advance camp musketry team, artillery team and grenadier team has been established.

And that very morning, Yang Zhen, in front of everyone, personally distributed the forty Rumi guns that Zu Keyong brought from Zu Dashou's army to the precious and important people one after another.

All the soldiers of the Musketeers including Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan.

And based on what he learned that day, he personally demonstrated the use of the "Rumi Gun" to everyone in the Musketeers.

Yang Zhen also took this opportunity to urge Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan to figure out the maximum dosage and the most suitable projectile size of the "Lumi Gun", and reminded them to quantitatively pack the ammunition after they figured it out.

Of course, Yang Zhen did not forget to tell them that it would be better if the gunpowder could be quantitatively packed into cylindrical paper-shell bags according to the caliber of the "Lumi Gun".

When Yang Zhen was in later generations, he did not do much research on guns and ammunition. He just read too many historical novels on the Internet, followed others' opinions, and imitated others.

However, what he said about these three-legged cats made Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan, two experts who were familiar with all kinds of shotguns and muskets of the army, feel as if they had pierced a layer of window paper.

Even Pan Wenmao and Yang Shen, who were standing next to Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan, waiting for Yang Zhen's words, had some enlightenment after listening to it - since the dosage of "Lumi Gun" can be divided into quantitative packages to increase the loading speed, then Jiutou

Can the Bird, Tiger Crouching Cannon and Folang Machine also prepare quantitatively packed medicine packs or even paper shell ammunition at ordinary times?

The musket technology of the Ming Dynasty was actually not much behind that of the West at the same time.

In particular, the "Lumi Gun", the Folang Machine and the imitation "Hongyi Cannon" are at least on the same level as those in the West at the same time.

In this era, among the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, those who were proficient in firearms were working hard in this direction. With a little guidance, Yang Zhen could pierce the window paper and let the firearms be used without Yang Zhen being familiar with everything.

The utilization of it is a big step forward.

In addition to the idea of ​​cylindrical fixed-rate paper shell ammunition, Yang Zhen also simply told Zhang Chen and Zhang Guogan of all the flintlock ideas he could think of, asking them to think of ways to try them.

Yang Zhen took his "Rumi Gun" and directly suggested to them that they use the "Rumi Gun" as the prototype musket and find a way to fix a flint above the "Lumi Gun" fire door so that the "Leading Iron" can directly hit it.

Hit it on a flint and see if it can scrape off sparks and ignite the gunpowder in the fire door.

If this method is effective, then reform it as soon as possible, and it will be as much as possible.

Yang Zhen didn't know that after these wild ideas of his fell into Zhang Guogan's ears, Zhang Guogan, who originally thought he was proficient in muskets, felt as if his head had been struck by lightning, and a voice kept churning in his heart:

"So it can be like this! It can be like this! How could it be like this! Why have I never thought of this!"

Zhang Chen, who also wanted to continue to observe Yang Zhen to see if he was worthy of his service, heard Yang Zhen's understatement and seemed to say it without thinking, and then looked at Yang Zhen's eyes, and he began to feel a little a little...

Like Zhang Guogan, it is full of wonder and admiration.

Zhang Guogan was physically weak since he was a child. Other children from the Weisuo family liked to dance with swords, guns, and practice bow and horse riding, but he was not good at it.

He couldn't lift the most basic stone lock, nor could he draw the most popular strong bow. As a child of a hereditary family, this was simply a shame.

He couldn't do anything with cold weapons, so he had to force himself to practice shotguns and muskets. Even though the right side of his face was burned again and again by matchlocks, and even his face was almost disfigured by the "explosion" of muskets one after another.

I will never change my mind.

The fact that he was able to enjoy his current status in the Guangning Army, especially after his father and brother passed away, and that he could be hereditary to hundreds of households in the garrison all depended on his current ability.

However, for him, the ammunition loading and ignition method of the matchlock gun have always been a problem. Every time he was injured, he made up his mind to find a way to change this situation. However, he, who was ignorant and incompetent, never did it.

It turns out that you can use the "tap iron" to directly hit the flint to ignite the fire in the "flint" method.

That morning, Zhang Guogan seemed to have been struck by lightning. After leaving the primary school, he had been in a state of trance and madness.

By the afternoon of that day, after repeatedly trying to hit various flints collected from his subordinates with the "leading iron" of the "Rumi Gun", Zhang Guogan had an idea in his mind. Holding his precious "Rumi Gun", he

The streets of Ningyuan City were full of inquiries and searches for blacksmith shops.

That night, the news that Zhang Guogan tried to "sabotage" the "Lumi Gun" reached Yang Zhen.

Li Lu, who was reporting to Yang Zhen on the preparations of the grenadiers, reminded Yang Zhen: "There are only so many of these Rumi guns, and they are all borrowed from the army of the ancestral commander! If Zhang Guogan messes around, what will happen to him?"

If it’s broken, I’m afraid that when I return it to Zu Keyong, I won’t be able to explain it to Commander Zu! Zu Keyong is so generous and easy to talk to, but he’s caught in the middle and I’m afraid he won’t be a good person in the future!”

Seeing that Li Lu had put aside his urgent duties in the grenadiers, Yang Zhen laughed it off when he mentioned this matter.

He has no intention of returning these Rumi guns!

Therefore, he completely sneered at Li Lu's worries in his heart, but he was still in Ningyuan City now. If he jumped out of here in the future, the sea would be vast and the fish would jump, and the sky would be high enough for birds to fly.

.

If Zhang Guogan and Zhang Chen could really produce the rationed ammunition or even paper shell ammunition that he mentioned, they could transform the Lumi gun into a musket that can be fired.

Not to mention destroying one Rumi gun, he would have no objection even if he destroyed ten or twenty Rumi guns.

But facing Li Lu, who was a little worried, he couldn't speak directly, so he had to change the subject and said to Li Lu: "Don't worry about Zhang Guogan's affairs for now! I have already decided on the future fighting style and tasks of your grenadiers.

I’m telling you and Pan Xi! If the tens of thousands of enemies in Ningyuan City, the Dragon King Cannon, the Thunder Cannon, and the Thunder Cannon are not enough in number or too heavy to take advantage of, you must quickly think about improvements yourself! You can’t wait! You can’t.

Damn it! You can only rely on yourselves!

"I can only tell you here again that as long as there is enough gunpowder and the delay fuse made by twisting the powder is sufficient, grenades - yes, grenades - are not a problem at all!

"Don't just think about the tens of thousands of enemies in Ningyuan City, the Dragon King Cannon, the thundering sound! You can try to make grenades yourself! One or two kilograms is enough, and three or five kilograms is no problem!

"Wine jars can be used as containers, and pottery bottles can be filled with gunpowder. It would be even better if a blacksmith could make them, or simply cast them directly with molten iron!

"Remember! Go find Pan Wenmao first. Now Pan Wenmao is responsible for all the ready-made gunpowder I want to bring to the advance camp! The top priority is the preparation of gunpowder! As long as the power of the gunpowder is enough, even the iron thunder made of molten iron can be used.
Chapter completed!
