Chapter 274: Dress Up

The new army learned the methods of Westerners. When loading, they put the projectiles in their mouths in advance. However, if they were nervous, they would swallow the lead and swallow it halfway. For this reason, the emperor and Ma Cheng and Fengcheng Hou and his son had a fierce dispute.

The emperor thought it was too dangerous for soldiers to carry projectiles on their mouths, but Ma Cheng insisted on doing this. This is the usual practice of Spanish musketeers. The process of taking out the projectiles can be omitted. Don't underestimate this small step, this small small

The steps can greatly increase the rate of fire.

Fengcheng Hou and his son were also standing on the side of Macheng. The emperor accepted the argument without success. The generals who were used to the battle formation naturally ignored the pain of the soldiers. After all, the young emperor was young. He looked at the soldiers who accidentally swallowed the projectiles.

I felt quite unbearable, and there was nothing I could do about it. In addition, it was also a great invention of the Spaniards. After each firing of twenty to forty rows of musketeers, they all retreated and loaded, and it was extremely difficult to practice.

In addition, if the pot cover is not tight, it will cause fire. Even if you practice for a long time, you will inevitably have the accident of fire and injury. In the later years, the troops with fully automatic weapons will still suffer from casualties during training, not to mention that this team has no military foundation.

The new army, even more than a hundred Kaiyuan non-commissioned officers, have experienced many battles. To be proficient in using this heavy convex gun, still requires diligence in the practice of death and injury, and this is a cruel reality.

The new army is not useful for the time being, but the emperor is a little disappointed but quickly becomes excited. With such complicated and cruel training, you can imagine how terrifying the combat power of this new army will be when it debuts a year or two. 20,000 new army will be

Among them, there are twenty battalions of musketeers, ten battalions of heavy armored spearmen, ten battalions of swords, shields, axes, and heavy armored infantry are much easier to train. There are more than ten thousand heavy armored infantry, but not many, and they are not satisfied with the city walls of the capital.

This new army was the last strategic reserve team to guard the capital and escort the emperor to move the capital to Nanjing if necessary. The ministers in the court had already agreed to move the capital to Nanjing, but they were rejected by the young emperor. This half-grown boy was also a bit red.

The strong genetic gene of the family emperor. Despite this, the court made a perfect plan. Once the army of the Shanhaiguan was lost and the enemy army rushed in, the new army guarded the emperor went to sea from Tianjin and moved the capital to Nanjing through Shandong. The least it could be protected.

Ma Cheng highly agrees with this. From the perspective of the future, even if the north is lost, the Ming Dynasty, which retreated to Nanjing, still has great potential.

The reason is that Jianlu is not a production after all, and this is the biggest weakness. From the perspective of the future, war is about national strength and mobilization capabilities. Compared with the Ming Dynasty who retreated to Nanjing and Jianlu who occupied the north, regardless of national strength.

Still, the mobilization ability still has a great advantage, provided that the emperor can make up his mind to clean up the Shishang Group, which is entrenched in the prosperous areas of Jiangnan, to boost the power of the sky.

As for rebellion, Macheng is not afraid. The 20,000 new army is not strong enough to resist 200,000 Jianlu. It is enough to use it to sweep Jiangnan. Isn’t the scholar rebelling for three years? History has long proved the best way to deal with Jiangnan Shishang Group.

It is just killing. The study was bloody when Taizu killed, and the Jianlu went south and killed the people after they went south. The Jiangnan Shishang Group knelt down. This is something that has long been proven to be extremely correct in history.

If necessary, Taizu's torture of peeling and filling the grass can also be taken out and used. After staying in Miyun Camp for a few days, the emperor returned to the palace to recuperate with exhausted, but Ma Cheng was still very interested, and Li Kaiyuan and others.

Wandering in Miyun Camp for a few days. With guns but no cannons, it is the only weakness of Miyun New Army. With guns but no cannons, you can only rely on the city wall to fight. This is also the strategy formulated by Macheng for the new army and rely on the heavy guard on the city wall.

The city's heavy artillery made up for the huge lack of firepower.

You should know that the eight banners of the Han army in Jianlu also had cannons. The fierce prisoners of Jianlu would not wait for the new army to suppress and attack him. Jianlu could also fire artillery. In the later battle of Dalinghe, the well-equipped Zhejiang soldiers formation,

It was bombarded by the cannons of the Eight Banners of the Han army, and the cannons are the well-deserved king of war.

As the end of the year approaches, the emperor, Li Chengqi, the Marquis of Junfengcheng, reported that the military battle situation was moved from the inner city to the Miyun Camp. The military battle situation was to build artillery and test artillery, which was obviously not suitable in the inner city. Shenshu Camp escorted Xiajing Street to clear the field.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua's master and apprentice brought large bags of tools, cannon models, and a large number of craftsmen to Miyun Camp. It was a lot of fun before the end of the year. Xu Guangqi, who came out of the mountain, was in great spirits and had a group of church members assisting him.

Most of the church members are Westerners with blue eyes and big noses, and they are all devout Catholics. Among them, there are pastors and scholars. Half of them have had experience in serving in the Western army. Xu Guangqi attaches great importance to it. A small church is

The emperor specially ordered the Westerners to preach in Miyun, but was not allowed to promote Catholicism in the army. This made a group of Catholics ecstatic.

This is a great contribution to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Preaching in the capital of the Ming Dynasty is the dream of every missionary.

The ministers in the court opposed Qi Shishui the most fiercely, and led a group of disciples to persuade the emperor. The Shilin, Beizhili, was even more uproar and a quarrel.

Macheng just turned a blind eye. China will become a Catholic country, let’s talk about it. The Central Plains will not become a religious country. Buddhism was not good at that time, Islam was not good, and Catholicism was even worse. No one is better than him, the time traveler.

I understand the strong xenophobic instinct of the Central Plains, and Catholicism has no future in China. And with the development and growth of nationalism, the spread of Catholicism has become even more difficult.

A Renaissance, the era of the big explosion is coming, and it is not a bad thing for the Catholic Church to participate in it. If the missionaries really had this ability and turned the Ming Dynasty into a Catholic country, Ma Cheng would admit it with a smile.

There is absolutely nothing that can happen. A small church was built in Miyun, but the new army's military discipline was added, and new army soldiers were strictly prohibited from entering and leaving the church, and those who violated the orders were killed.

Therefore, although the new army soldiers were curious, they hid far away under the strict military orders, looking at the Westerners with big noses and blue eyes like snakes and scorpions.

After a few days of hard work, the New Year Festival was coming. The new army was resting and the Miyun camp became quiet.

Capital, Ma Mansion.

Heavy snow fell from the sky, and Ma Cheng, who had relaxed, closed the guests and brought his concubine around the fire to enjoy the snow in the back garden. The girls in the hearts of the concubines were particularly charming. Even the reserved Liu Zihua drank a few more glasses of water and wine, and his pretty face was

It's particularly tempting. After getting along with each other, Bai Qinghua and Yingxue have become accustomed to her existence, making this talented woman in Jiangnan faintly become the leader of all the girls. Ma Cheng sighed that this is the aura, the white fairy, Yingxue is definitely not her

opponent.

The New Year's Eve dinner in Ma's mansion was extremely sumptuous. With the sound of firecrackers, Liu Zihua sent the rewards, and the servants thanked them very much.

Ma Cheng joked: "It's like a housekeeper."
