After the old camp moved to Qiong, it was originally placed in the General's Mansion, but Zhao Bing ascended the throne and went to Teng's house. Of course, the palace was not suitable for these children to live in. In addition, many officials and people flocked to Qiong when they moved to Qiong, so they could not find a suitable place. Later, he discovered that a Fubo Temple was found near the palace city, where Ma Yuan, the general Fubo of the Han Dynasty, was worshipped. However, it had been abandoned for many years, and only the main hall was left, and other annexes had collapsed.

However, this place is not small. I think the world has many taboos about the place where the temple was once built, and no one occupied it, making it a little unbearable place in the city. So Zhao Bing asked someone to clean up the place, build houses, and place the women, children and children of the old camp here. However, Fubo Temple was preserved. In order to apologize to the Lord of God, the main hall was rebuilt and the golden body was reshaped, which made people sacrifice during festivals.

The entire courtyard is centered on the Fubo Temple. A square with more than 30 acres was built in front of the temple, surrounded by trees. Several halls were built on both sides as places for children to teach and learn. Behind the temple is the living area, where townhouses are built as dormitories, divided into several independent areas such as A, B, C, D, Shu, and Ji. Among them, canteens and medical facilities are built, which are like modern boarding schools.

However, there are more than the few people in the old camp now. The continuous war has created countless orphans and widows. All orphans brought back in previous battles have been adopted. There are now more than 3,000 people. However, due to the current etiquette and self-care ability, women and children under the age of six live alone in the same hospital. After the boys turn six, they have to live in collective dormitories to cultivate independent living ability and learning skills. When they are over fifteen, they will be "exposed" from the old camp and live independently, but most of them have entered the guard guard camp.

Because Zhao Bing's pity at the beginning found a "burden" for himself, he was responsible for all the expenses in Laoying since then. He really had to provide food, accommodation and education. Although it cost a lot, he still felt it was worth it. This place has become the only place where no one can interfere with, and it is also his own private land and experimental field. Now Laoying's education method is not completely different from other academies. In addition to the necessary classics and history, there are also textbooks compiled by Zhao Bing and other courses arranged by him.

As the initiator, Zhao Bing not only provides all expenses, but also often visits and inspects here. He sends condolences during festivals and holidays. Of course, this year is no exception. This time, he not only brought new clothes to everyone, but also a large amount of New Year's goods. When he led the guards, there were already mentors responsible for teaching these orphans to welcome them at the door.

"They look like soldiers!" Zhao Bing got off the car at the door. After seeing the ceremony, he walked towards the yard. He saw the children lined up to greet each other on both sides of the road standing straight, lined up in neat rows to strode their chests, shouting long live in unison, and he couldn't help but praise.

"Your Majesty, most of these children are orphans in the army, and have experienced family destruction. Therefore, all the children in the old camp are martial and are ready to join the army in the future to avenge their country and family hatred!" The teacher bent down and replied while walking.

"Well, you are better at teaching, but don't forget to learn literature when practicing martial arts!" Zhao Bing said while replying to the courtesy.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 600 children in the camp who have taken the exam for A and above in grades, and more than 70% of them have passed C and above in grades." The teacher reported.

"Yes, the children who enter the camp have morning and evening, and their studies are even more uneven. It is amazing to have such a score!" Because the children in the camp have different ages and different time to join the camp, they can only continue the initial method and divide them into four teams A, B, C, and D by age. Those under six years old join the D team, seven to ten years old join the C team, eleven to thirteen years old join the B team, and fourteen to fifteen years old join the A team, and the courses set by each team are also from shallow to deep. Those who advance can only work hard to catch up on their own, so Zhao Bing is still very satisfied with this score.

"Your Majesty has praised you. The teams have been assembled. Please review them!" The teacher was very helpful to your Majesty's praise, and he admired His Majesty's knowledge even more. The textbooks he compiled not only added punctuation for students to read, but also did not understand their meaning in vain. Especially in terms of mathematics, Your Majesty is a genius. He is not only proficient in various algorithms, but also can solve various graphics. He studied with His Majesty for a long time before he was able to enter the camp to give advice. You must know that although they are not geniuses, they have their own strengths, but what they have learned is similar to the children who are nurturing team members in front of him.

"Okay!" The year-end school reading is the rule of the old camp. In previous years, Zhao Bing was the host of it. This year, he still took the initiative and followed the teaching staff to the reading stand in front of the temple.

The sound of the assembly call of "Dududu..." sounded, and for a moment, the children of each team rushed out from all over the place, quickly formed a queue according to their respective classes, and then gathered in a group, forming a neat team in the square amid the slogans. Zhao Bing looked from the platform that although the three teams were not neatly cut and chopped with a knife and axe, they were also in rows horizontally and vertically, especially Team A had already looked like a military queue.

Next, the parade began with Zhao Bing's command sound. With the command sound of each team leader, each team immediately reorganized into a nine-horizontal and nine-month column, and the crowds were split into several columns. After the queue was completed, the three flag bearers were guided, and each team followed the command and moved according to the command, and changed from staggering steps to staggering steps during the reading stand. Of course, these were copied by Zhao Bing from his previous life, and were made by referring to the military parade movements in his previous life.

Seeing teams of children chanting slogans with children passing by, Zhao Bing felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to the scene when he participated in military training in his previous life, and flashed the scene of the Soviet Red Army striding across the Red Square, and the scene of two teams of soldiers queuing to death on the battlefield... This made him a little excited, as if the children in front of him had turned into musketeers and opened fire in the face of the enemy's cavalry's impact...

After Zhao Bing came to this world, he used the development of hot weapons as the only magic weapon to defeat the Mongolian army. The facts also show that his choice was correct. He also understood that although the current crossbows and rockets were put into use on a large scale, he still relied on a powerful navy. In this defense battle, the infantry army received support from firearms and paid more than 5,000 casualties to defend the defense line.

However, Zhao Bing knew that with the population and material supply base of Qiongzhou, it could only reach the point of self-retainment, and it was not a big problem to be an island owner. But if you want to develop into the mainland, you must build a powerful infantry army. After all, the ship cannot reach the shore, and the infantry still needs to solve the problem of seizing cities and plundering land. The lack of population limits that the size of this army cannot be too large. You can only rely on a more effective organizational structure, excellent weapons and well-trained elite soldiers than the enemy, so that you can win more with less and compete with the powerful Yuan army. The premise of these three elements is weapons.

Modern people know that muskets and cannons are the only choice, but it is easier said than done. You should know that since the Europeans applied gunpowder to war in the 14th century, it took more than 300 years to complete the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons. This is a difficult and slow process. Many things that are not a problem in modern times are difficult in this era, so that the muskets and cannons designed by Zhao Bing have been stuck on drawings and models for a long time.

The first thing he faced was the material problem. Zhao Bing first found the iron ore, refined iron, and made swords and guns, armor and farm tools, but not the firearms. However, after his efforts, he successfully refined coke and improved the method, and finally refined steel that could be used to build guns and cannons. But he immediately faced another problem. The most difficult part in building muskets was the barrel.

As Zhao Bing knows, in the absence of modern processing machinery, the way the ancients made gun barrels was to smash the iron block into iron plates, then rolled into a cylinder, and then brazed them into a brazing method to create the iron tubes, and then further processing. This method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, has a high scrap rate, high cost, and is difficult to withstand large chamber pressure, which is easy to cause a chamber explosion accident during launch.

Finally, Zhao Bing decided to make the barrel by forging solid blanks, but faced the problem of how to process it. He could only "invent" the drilling machinery driven by a waterwheel to shoot out the gun hole, and then build a boring machine, which greatly improved the processing accuracy of the barrel. Now he finally broke through various bottlenecks to make samples and conducted a test shot. Although some places still need to be improved, it finally succeeded. He felt that the whole process was like a joke about "the little monk borrowing an axe", but fortunately he did not forget to do anything.

The combustion gases and explosive power generated after the burning of gunpowder make hot weapons more lethal than any weapon in the past. In addition to its powerful advantages, muskets are relatively simple to use. Soldiers temporarily recruited from civilians can master the tricks of use after a short period of training, and can also use muskets to kill a knight who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, received careful training, and brought his own excellent weapons and armor. To train a qualified archer, it will take at least several months. To be truly proficient in bows and arrows, it must go through years of uninterrupted hard training. This is the mystery that hot weapons have been favored by the armies of various countries after they were invented.

However, the early muskets, whether they are clamping guns or more complete smoothbore guns and flintlock guns, although they can effectively tear open the thick armor of heavy cavalry and the strong shields of infantry, have poor accuracy, low range, slow firing speed, and extremely inconvenient use compared with the longbows and crossbows in the hands of skilled archers of the same era. Even at the end of the Battle of Waterloo, a British lieutenant general solemnly wrote a letter to recommend the restoration of equipment for longbows to replace the flintlock guns in infantry. The reason why the firearm was not replaced by cold weapons was because applicable tactics were invented.

The most well-known strategy in the use of musket tactics is linear tactics, which is what everyone laughs at. It seems that two groups of people are queuing, beating drums and walking opposite each other. After getting close, they open fire at the same time. They are killed and injured. The people behind immediately make up for another round of bombardment until one side fails. In fact, this is just an appearance. The requirements for formation and discipline in line are extremely high.

Generally speaking, people cannot walk too fast or too slowly. They have to listen to the drum beats and small songs step by step. This requires repeated training. Formation is combat effectiveness, and discipline is the guarantee of victory. The early British Army paid great attention to this aspect of training, and of course corporal punishment and beating and scolding are indispensable. Physical punishment is usually military sticks and whips. Repeated and endless training, and finally trained soldiers into robots that cannot be struck, loading, holding guns, and shooting almost became the second intuition.

When facing the rapid cavalry attack on the battlefield, the enemy soldiers who are so close are scared and nervous, and they will have the desire to escape. Even the muskets of those days were of poor accuracy, and they could not hit a few people a hundred meters away. In addition, the reliability of the guns is also poor. Many guns cannot be fired, and they will accumulate. More and more guns cannot be fired. In the end, when the distance is right to kill people, many guns have lost their function. Even if this situation still exists on the battlefield of the American Civil War a hundred years later, people have picked up many guns that have not fired when cleaning the battlefield.

Because when the trained soldiers seemed to be expressionless when they were queuing, they were already scared, their hands were shaking into a ball, and gunpowder was sprinkled everywhere, so how could they be fired? According to statistics, there were as few as two bullets in the guns picked up on the battlefield of the Benniuhe Battle, and there were four or five bullets. The most bizarre gun had twelve bullets. This guy probably didn't fire it once, but he was so nervous that he didn't know whether his gun was ringing or not, so he kept installing it until he couldn't fit it.

British soldiers who are strictly disciplined and have been brutally trained are much better. Not only will they not turn around and run away or pretend to be dead, they also have to actively fill in the blanks after the front row of soldiers falls to ensure the density of fire soldiers during shooting. In most cases, the officers of the British Army also advance and retreat with everyone in front, and the soldiers have nothing to complain about. From this, it can be inferred that the number and position of the officers and non-commissioned officers directly determine the strength of the control of modern troops and maintain the discipline and morale of the team.

After solving the problem of weapons, Zhao Bing also turned his attention to people. He knew that modern army could defeat the ancient army. In addition to the application of thermal weapons, it also benefited from modern military education and military practices. It also stabilized and efficiently cultivated a large number of qualified officers and non-commissioned officers, which made them distance themselves from the military leaders of the traditional army and the sergeant commander in terms of military quality.
