While instructors such as Chang Yanling taught firearm operation, Sun Yuanhua, Westerner Johnson Chan and their apprentices were patiently explaining to these imperial guards officers and soldiers the performance and operation mode of the new Ming cannon and how to use gun torque to adjust the shooting accuracy.

"The ancients once said that Pythagoreans were also related to this. The flagpole in front was the target object, so this line was hook, and this was a stock."

Johnson Chan, who was respected as a Confucian scholar in Thailand, is also knowledgeable in history. At this time, he was using branches to sell his own set of trigonometric functions on the ground, which was tireless.

Most of these officers and soldiers were from the Shenji Camp before, even if they were not from the Ming Dynasty, they had touched old artillery. In addition, they could barely understand it. What's more, they just listened to it. The important thing is to master how Johnson Chan operates. Although the basic principles and aiming methods are core technologies, that is the business of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

"Mr. Sun, can I give it a try?" Fu Dahai obviously had a stronger interest in this new artillery, and he couldn't wait to give it a try.

Sun Yuanhua taught these night classes for the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards, so he was also called Mr. Sun. Seeing Fu Dahai’s eyes were hot, he nodded.

Fu Dahai came over quickly, while Joshua Chan took the initiative to be a deputy gunner for Fu Dahai.

The other officers and soldiers on the side couldn't help but whisper: "You said, can this thing work? To be honest, I have worked in Shenji Camp before, and the flagpole is too far away, so that the red cannon on the city wall can be shot, and I guess it can't be hit in one shot."

"It depends on whether the Western teaching method is good or not. But I think it's just a shot, and there is not so much attention. If he doesn't need to teach me, I will do it too!"

The team from Shenji Camp also responded, but at this moment, Fu Dahai had already adjusted the position under the guidance of Johnson Chan, and then ignited the fire, and soon there was a loud bang.

The flagpole in front fell down in response to the sound.

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but open their mouths wide. From the effect of the explosion, it seemed that the explosion was more powerful than the previous artillery, but what they didn't expect was that Fu Dahai would soon launch the second shot.

"Grandma, no wonder Your Majesty said that future wars are the world of artillery," a commander-in-chief, who was born in an officer, couldn't help but exclaim.

But at this time, Tang Ruowang gave Fu Dahai a thumbs up and said to Sun Yuanhua: "Old Sun, I strongly ask Your Majesty to let this general manage the artillery battalion because he has extraordinary talent."

...

"The shooting of the first team of the Third Battalion has been completed, please instruct!"

A team of flintlock guns came over with apocalypse style, and placed them neatly on their shoulders. They walked towards the commander of the third battalion, Qin Botong.

"Resting on the spot, the second team is in place!"

The second team and the first team who had already prepared responded at the same time, and at this time, soldiers in front had reported the shooting results of the first team: "The first team, thirteen off-targets, twenty-nine below the eighth ring, and the rest were above the eighth ring!"

"Oh!"

The first team, who had already rested on the ground and sat cross-legged, couldn't help but shout. According to military discipline, they could cheer loudly during rest, especially such things that cheered for collective honor.

Although according to the results of the previous few training sessions, it is already a good result for a team to have most of the soldiers hitting the eighth ring or above, the second team disagreed and walked towards the shooting range after seeing the easily satisfied first team with contempt.

"Remember, our goal is to zero off-target, and control it to twenty of the eight rings below. If it cannot be done, the whole team will run twenty laps together tonight!"

"yes!"

The second team has always been competitive, but Qin Botong didn't stop him, and still looked cold: "Second Team, are you ready?"

"Report, preparation is complete!"

"shooting!"

Qin Botong heard the order, and he heard the neat sound of firing, crackling sounds like fried beans, and then a stream of white smoke spread along an arc.

"The shooting of the second team of the Third Battalion has been completed, please instruct!"

"Resting on the spot, the third team is in place!"

"The second team, one off-target, seventeen below the eighth ring, and the rest are above the eighth ring!"

"Squad, will you run the lap tonight?"

"Run! I'm Ge, who's off the target? Stand out of the target!"

This team was the Shu soldiers who followed Qin Liangyu, but later they were left in the Jing camp by chance, but despite this, they still spoke in a Sichuan voice.

The off-target soldier stood up with his head down: "Report, it's me!"

...

The comprehensive firearm operation training began in full swing. The entire Imperial Guard camp used to be from morning to five, but now it has various bombings, and sometimes the earth even trembled a few times.

Fortunately, I stay away from the residents here, otherwise I would definitely scare people to death.

However, some censors also reported that this would shake the dragon vein, but Zhu Youxiao was not Cixi, so he would not be so stupid that he stopped training because of the dragon vein. Instead, the censor was dismissed from office because of alarmist words.

However, the officers and soldiers have not learned less theoretical courses now. Now, except for the evening, they have to take time to study in the afternoon.

This is also impossible. Operating firearms and using firearms to fight involves a lot of professional knowledge, and these officers and soldiers must be popularized. Fortunately, these officers and soldiers do not know anything like soldiers recruited from the people.

At least the officers, especially those who can recognize words, account for a large proportion, and even soldiers did not start at zero.

After the comprehensive firearm operation training, Zhu Youxiao began to reorganize the Imperial Guards and prepare for the next special training.

First of all, the artillery battalion and the cavalry battalion. Because these two battalions have certain special requirements for soldiers, they must first select soldiers with talent for artillery and soldiers who are good at riding horses.

The cannons were operated directly to be assessed and checked by Joshua Chau, while the cavalry was directly selected by Oboi. Oboi had a unique selection method than others, because he would often patrol the battalions and would occasionally run to pat others’ crotch and even touch them.

Everyone was puzzled why he chose this instead of asking if he would ride a horse first, but both His Majesty and Mr. Lu supported him.

However, being touched by a vulgar man is really unpleasant, and you can't lose your temper.

Zhu Youjian was touched by Oboi, and he was so scared that he turned around and said, "What are you doing!"

"This commander has a crush on you. Private Zhu Youjian, from today on, you will join the cavalry battalion of the Imperial Guards, and write down his list and report it to Chang Yanluo, the commander of the First Battalion!"

According to the above order, no one can stop or refuse as long as the person Oboi chooses. Therefore, Chang Yanluo and Zhu Youjian had to admit defeat.

After selecting 1,000 cavalry, 1,500 artillery and corresponding auxiliary soldiers to form the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion, the following is to conduct shooting training for the entire battalion. Anyone who still off-target or fails to reach the average seventh ring or above will be eliminated and will not be able to obtain the infantry battalion.

However, the eliminated soldiers are not useless. There are many soldiers with specialties in other aspects. For example, those who have first-class surveying and mapping within a few days, some even have particularly accurate judgments on climate and groundwater locations.

Zhu Youxiao simply organized them into engineers. Soldiers who really had no special skills and no talent could still stay in the baggage battalion and be responsible for managing and protecting the entire army's supplies.
