Chapter 790 The Musketeers Team has been formed! All generals are shocked! 4500
Of course, the reason why Elodie is able to get along so well in the "Tachibana Family Group" - that is, Qinjin Clan and the Shinsengumi - is not entirely due to her special relationship with Aomori.
The philosophy pursued by the "Jujia Group" has always been "regardless of origin" and "the capable are promoted, the mediocre are given way, the mediocre are demoted, and the inferior are eliminated."
To put it simply - in the "Orange Family Group", lack of ability is the original sin!
From ordinary soldiers to leadership, members come from all walks of life and from all walks of life.
There are farmers and rogues; there are men and there are women.
At first, when the Shinsengumi was founded, Seito promoted his cronies on a large scale, allowing the "Tsueikan faction" to control most of the senior positions in the Shinsengumi.
Although this is a normal thing, it still makes some thornheads, including Serizawa Duck, very unhappy.
It was not until later that the "Shiweiguan Sect" showed their undisputed strength that these "disharmonious voices" were gradually silenced.
If you only have a resounding name and a prominent background but no extraordinary ability to support it, you will ultimately be unable to convince the public.
Even if you appear to be submissive on the surface, you can't help but murmur in your heart, which is what the saying goes, "You don't believe what you say but don't believe what you say."
In fact, Elodie faced such a dilemma when he first took office.
The appraisers in the finance office - especially the old people who have been working for a long time - when they saw this delicate, tender, young girl from a Western country, their facial expressions were all smiles.
, the psychological activities are more "exciting" than the last!
At this time, not to mention the appraisers in the Finance Office, almost everyone in the Shinsengumi believed that Elodie was a "vase" that was of no use.
Niou-sama is really confused. If you want to "gild" this girl, you can just give her a casual job. Why should you give her such an important position? At that time, everyone had a tacit understanding of this
Thinking.
Elodie is not an idiot, and she naturally understands the challenges she faces.
Faced with everyone's doubts and their strange looks, although she felt frightened, she was still gearing up.
She knew very well - in this case, there was no need to waste words.
As long as she achieves some results, she will naturally be able to silence those who doubt her!
By then, all the contempt and disdain for her will disappear!
If Yataro Iwasaki is holding his breath and eager to prove himself, then Elodie is no less willing to give in.
From a certain perspective, Elodie, who has blond hair and blue eyes, is under far greater pressure than Yataro Iwasaki.
After all, Yataro Iwasaki is a Japanese with black hair and black hair, and there is no racial opposition.
There is a saying that "the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds."
The huge Shinsengumi not only brings together all walks of life, but also mixes all kinds of ideas.
There are those who respect the shogunate.
There are those who respect the imperial court.
There are also people who don't care about politics and don't have any political stance. They just want to have a job and make a living.
In a nutshell - within the Shinsengumi, there are by no means a small number of supporters of the idea of respect and opposition.
Although they are not as extreme as the madmen in Changzhou, they are disgusted and even hostile to Westerners from the bottom of their hearts.
However, no one can guarantee that one day, some madman will suddenly come and attack Elodie.
Therefore, in order to protect Elodie, Qingdeng mobilized more than ten highly skilled and trustworthy soldiers to form a "Protective Team".
Doubts, hostility, naked malice... In such an environment, one can imagine how great the pressure Elodie was under.
Fortunately, not only was she not crushed by the pressure, but she also quickly delivered fruitful results that amazed everyone and far exceeded Qingdeng's expectations!
Even people who know nothing about arithmetic can see how profound Elodie's mathematical skills are. She is simply a genius!
As soon as she took office, she showed her resolute efficiency.
She sorted out the chaotic "Ojin Account" at an astonishing speed, making it concise and concise, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent "Qinjin Domain Construction Plan".
When the transport convoys carrying huge amounts of supplies arrived at Qinjin Fan one after another, Elodie became almost the busiest person!
Counting the quantity of materials and recording them in accounts - to be honest, just listening to the text introduction to this task is enough to make people faint.
Nearly two hundred carriages!
Rice, millet, fodder, salt... dozens of materials in total!
The total weight is measured in "one hundred thousand stones"!
Organize and summarize them and accurately register them in the account books?
On the day when this task was issued, the Shinsengumi's finance office was suddenly enveloped in wails.
Some sexy people just throw their heads up to the sky and spew out all the curse words in Japanese.
As the boss of the finance office, Elodie stepped forward promptly at this critical moment when her subordinates were feeling negative emotions, and perfectly fulfilled her duties as a "leader".
She quickly gets into work mode and dares to be the first.
Sitting in charge of the accounting room, assigning work, and collecting statistics... She arranges the heavy tasks in an orderly manner.
During this period, she demonstrated another specialty of hers - excellent physical fitness.
Perhaps because she has practiced martial arts since she was a child and continued to exercise, her physical fitness is excellent.
Seito once evaluated: In terms of physical fitness alone, Elodie is stronger than most of the members of the Shinsengumi!
After the first convoy arrived, Elodie moved directly into the accounting room, where she ate, drank, and slept.
Her attitude of working diligently can be said to be the best annotation for idioms such as "working tirelessly" and "not knowing how to sleep or eat".
"Working for more than ten hours in a row", "not even bothering to eat"...all this is the norm.
Her hard-working attitude towards her duties has a strong meaning of "doing her best to die"... To put it bluntly, her subordinates felt scared when they saw her! They were afraid that she would die of exhaustion!
Fortunately, she is always in good spirits.
Her face was rosy, her eyes were clear, and her demeanor was relaxed, showing no sign of exhaustion.
The so-called "innate ox-horse holy body" is nothing more than that.
Even the boss went to the "front line" without fear of hardships. No matter how much the appraisers in the finance office complained, they did not dare to say anything more.
The "king" has moved, how can the "soldiers" remain still?
To a certain extent, Elodie's conscientiousness boosted the morale of the finance office.
In this way, under the leadership of Elodie, the finance room burst out with amazing energy!
Those mountains of money and food turned into a string of accurate numbers.
Those vast warehouses have turned into thick account books.
Anyone with any brains knows what these numbers and these account books mean.
To put it bluntly - they are Qin Jinfan's big data!
How much money, grain, and weapons are stored in the warehouse... As long as you have these data, you can have a "base" in your mind whether you are carrying out economic construction or launching a war.
Regarding the importance of this "base", you can refer to the famous "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu - know your enemy and yourself, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles!
After sorting out the "Ojin account", Elodie proved herself again.
After witnessing this overwhelming result, no matter how picky you are, you can't say a word.
Even extremists who hate Westerners and regard Westerners as savage beasts have to agree with this fact——
Elodie is truly an outstanding person!
She is fully qualified for the position of "Director of the Finance Office"!
Rather, it’s as if the position was tailor-made for her!
…
…
As money and food gradually arrived in the warehouse, the "ultimate weapons" Qingdeng longed for - the M1861 rifle and Parrott rifled cannon - finally arrived at Qinjin Fan!
Accompanying this batch of guns and artillery arrived at the domain, there were also two young instructors who were ordered by Kinoshita Rin to teach gunnery tactics.
After seeing these two instructors, Qingdeng couldn't help but show an expression of surprise.
…
…
Qinjin Fan, Dajin, a wasteland in the suburbs——
Genzaburo Inoue took a deep breath, gathered enough strength, and then shouted:
"go ahead!"
As soon as he finished his shout, the sound of footsteps as dull as thunder suddenly sounded on the scene.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The 100 soldiers lined up in two horizontal lines, marching forward in a steady and orderly manner.
They are very special.
The reason why I say this is not because they have weird looks or wear strange clothes.
It's because of the weapons in their hands.
What they are holding are not the common swords, guns, swords and halberds, but rifles!
Nearly 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, with a dark brown barrel and a "hunchback" shaped hammer - it is the Springfield M1861 rifle!
The soldiers' left hand is close to the side of the leg, and the right hand holds the butt of the rifle, so that the gun body naturally leans against the right shoulder.
Aoto, Hijikata Toshizo, Kondo Isamu, Souji, Nagakura Shinpachi, Serizawa Kamo... all the senior officials of the Shinsengumi were waiting on the sidelines.
Even Shannan Keisuke, Sanako and Toudo Heisuke, who have been busy "stocking supplies" in recent days, temporarily put aside their work and came to watch this unique "martial arts performance".
This "martial arts performance" was conducted by Genzaburo Inoue.
The members of this musketry team are all from the Sixth Division.
Therefore, it is a reasonable and reasonable arrangement to send the captain of the Sixth Division to serve as the commander.
At this moment, Genzaburo Inoue walked nervously beside the musketeers, keeping the same pace and moving forward together.
Directly in front of them, dozens of targets made of solid wood were arranged in a line, standing quietly.
Within a moment, there was only a dozen steps between the slowly advancing musketeers and the target group.
Seeing this, Genzaburo Inoue hurriedly shouted:
"stop!"
The footsteps stopped.
The musketeers stood upright, and the originally very neat array now became a little distorted.
Some people stand a little forward, some people stand a little back...the whole thing shows a crooked "streamline" shape.
Gensaburo Inoue did not order a reorganization of the formation.
He turned to look at Qingdeng not far away.
Qingden nodded.
The next moment after receiving the order, Inoue Genzaburo suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, raised the sword above his head, and pointed the tip of the sword to the sky:
"Raise the gun!
Click, click, click, click, click...
The gunmen raised their rifles in unison.
"Click", "click" the sound of metal colliding together.
"aim!"
The gunmen leveled their rifles, and the black muzzles pointed directly at the target group in front of them.
Genzaburo Inoue mixes the breath.
The next moment, he raised the blade above his head and slashed it down with all his strength——
"put!!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound like exploding beans startled the birds in the distance.
The bullets flying through the air left fleeting afterimages in mid-air.
Souji, Mai Kinoshita and others who were watching from the side subconsciously covered their ears.
After the gunshot, thick milky white smoke filled the entire place.
Even from a long distance away, Qingdeng and others could smell the pungent smell of gunpowder that made the roots of their tongues taste bitter.
"Reload!"
Genzaburo Inoue issued a new order.
The gunmen hurriedly lowered their rifles so that the butts were on the ground and the muzzles were pointed upwards. Then they took off the ammunition bags from their waists, stuffed gunpowder and bullets into the barrels, then took out the purge bars and pressed the bullets tightly.
Reality.
This is a very complicated loading process.
If there is a mistake in one link, the reloading speed will be slowed down, or even bullets will not be fired.
The gunmen's "shooting" was okay, but their "loading" performance was...
Even if you use the term "high emotional intelligence", it can only be said to be lackluster!
Someone accidentally dropped the bullet.
Some people poured out their hands full of gunpowder.
Some people cannot put it back on after taking it off.
All kinds of problems...
It took nearly 2 minutes before the gunmen were ready to shoot again.
Genzaburo Inoue once again raised the sword in his hand.
"Raise the gun!"
Click, click, click, click, click...
"put!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...
…
A total of three rounds of guns were fired, and this unique "martial arts performance" finally came to an end.
As soon as the "martial arts performance" was over, Aomori led the generals and strode towards Genzaburo Inoue.
"Uncle Yuan, everyone, thank you for your hard work!"
Faced with Aoto's condolences, Inoue Genzaburo was okay and just smiled reservedly.
In comparison, the reaction of the gunners was much more exciting, one after another getting excited.
They stared at Qingdeng closely, their eyes shining with admiration, admiration and envy.
To have close contact with the "Nioh"... this is already a great honor for them!
After giving a simple condolence, Qingdeng led everyone straight to the target group not far away.
Looking around, the target group is densely covered with bullet holes like a honeycomb. Roughly speaking, the number is about 3 or 40.
100 gunmen, 100 rifles, 3 volleys, a total of 300 bullets fired.
At a distance of about 10 meters, 300 bullets were fired, leaving only 3,40 bullet holes...
At first glance, this level of accuracy seems particularly poor.
However, after counting the number of bullet holes on the target group, all the generals looked horrified!
Shannan Keisuke's mouth opened and closed several times, and after a while he muttered to himself:
"Is this...the most advanced iron cannon in the West...?"
Isamu Kondo pursed his lips and said nothing, as if in deep thought.
Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi, Serizawa Kamo and others also looked thoughtful and solemn.
A few people - such as Harada Sanosuke and Toudo Heisuke - had extremely strange expressions on their faces, as if they were hesitant to speak.
At this moment, Hijikata Toshizo suddenly spoke up and expressed their feelings for them:
"Heh... Today is no longer... the era of swords."
"Although the level of the iron gunners is still very bad, the reloading speed is too slow, and the formation of the queue is also very irregular."
"But these are not big problems, just train more frequently."
"To be honest, I never thought that Western iron cannons could be so powerful."
"I finally understand why Tachibana is determined to form a firearms unit."
"When the 6th and 8th divisions are transformed into firearms units and further expand their strength, the total combat strength of our Shinsengumi will definitely be transformed!"
"By then... we swordsmen will really be useless!"
After saying that, he twitched the corners of his mouth and raised a self-deprecating smile, without caring about the mood of other people present.
