Chapter 221 Circle Hong Kong Island(2/2)
There is no other way. The flintlock rifle that was confiscated from William's house requires a special training ground.
In the supervision yamen, Yuzhu, who shoots guns every day, must have the only armed force of the Humen Naval Battalion. Moreover, Shanghengdao Island is a military restricted area, and there are no idlers.
Neither the general of Guangzhou, nor the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, nor the admiral of Guangdong could intervene.
Yuzhu was not familiar with flintlock rifles, but William, who had been an officer in the Royal Navy, naturally became an instructor.
Objectively speaking, Yuzhu has always employed people based on merit and does not care about so-called loyalty.
As the old saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass, and the strong wind knows the loyal ministers. In normal times, everyone will behave very loyally. In fact, at the critical moment, how many of the truly loyal subordinates are there?
The so-called loyalty is too expensive, so it is better to just practice meritocracy with clear rewards and punishments!
William's character was very poor, but this former Royal Navy officer did not live in vain. He had some personal experience in improving the firing speed of flintlock muskets.
When the officers first arrived on the island, the firing rate was only one shot per minute and a half.
After half a month, the shooting speed increased to two rounds per minute.
