"What was your name just now, Jia Dalin? Is there such a person in the team?"
When leaving the village, Jia Liu called Zu Yingyuan. The name seemed familiar, as his cousin called him by this name.
Zu Yingyuan denied it flatly: "Brigade, you heard me wrong, when did I call Jia Dalin? We don't have such a person in our team."
"Um?"
Jia Liu thought that he might have heard wrongly, so he followed the team without thinking about it.
The place is about three or four miles away from Guanzhai, and it is a relatively open place far away from the road.
The scenery all around is really beautiful.
The people from the green camp first introduced the basic structure of the musket to the flag bearers and Su La, and then summarized the training methods of the musket.
They are roughly divided into horse shooting method, forward shooting method, continuous rotating shooting method, kneeling shooting method and supine shooting method.
These were summarized by Chang Tai, the Minister of Internal Affairs in charge of shotgun cavalry during the Kangxi period.
It was no different from the training method in Jia Liu's impression. The musket rate of the Qing army's equipment was also quite high and very advanced. It was completely different from the impression given by the Qing army in the previous life.
Liu De once said that the musket equipment in inland provinces is about 1,000 soldiers with 300 muskets. On the coast, such as their Green Camp in Fujian, there are 1,000 soldiers with 400 muskets.
As for the Eight Banners, muskets are the main equipment. The forward battalion soldiers are divided into two types, one is the basic forward soldiers and the other is the shotgun forward soldiers.
Whether in terms of number or treatment, shotgun forward soldiers are higher than basic forward soldiers.
The firearms equipment of the Jianrui camp that came to Jinchuan with Jia Liu and others also reached 60-70%, not to mention the firearms camp that was fully equipped with firearms.
Probably the penetration rate of muskets in the entire Eight Banners is as high as 80%, except for Solon outside Guanwai.
Most of the muskets used by the Qing army now are imitations of the Zanbalat gun used by the Junggar army after the pacification of Junggar. This kind of gun has a long range and high accuracy. Qianlong personally shot it and liked it very much. He ordered a large number of imitations, but the ignition method is still messy.
Match rope.
The new batch of bannermen like Jia Liu and others were not given weapons, probably because they knew that these bannermen's children did not know how to shoot, so they were allowed to adapt to the battlefield environment first.
In addition, it is related to the fact that Bai Tang'a is a reserve officer, not a flag soldier.
Jia Liu was the captain of the brigade, so it was definitely impossible for him to lead the team himself, so he asked Zu Yingyuan to organize it and let the green battalion soldiers serve as instructors and train freely.
He took Yang Yuchun and wandered around with his hands behind his back, which was like stealing half a day's leisure.
Of course, it’s also called doing nothing.
After a while, there was a sound of gunfire, and the "bang" sound frightened the birds all over the mountain. The little beasts were also frightened and flew into the distance like arrows.
There was a "bang bang" sound after another, and it was very lively, just like setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve.
It doesn't matter whether you hit or not, what's important is that everyone hears it.
This is called courage training.
Courage is the spirit of a soldier, and calmness can lead to peace of mind.
The medicine consumed can be repaid later.
After walking around for a while, Jia Liu took Yang Yuchun back to the training ground. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
Men, no one is good at shooting.
"Bring it here, I'll give it a shot,"
Jia Liu signaled Yang Zhi to hand him the shotgun that had just been loaded with medicine. Yang Zhi hesitated a little, not because he was worried that the young master would miss, but mainly because he was worried that the young master would be injured.
After taking the blunderbuss, Jia Liu felt that it was quite heavy. He lifted it up and down and started holding the gun like everyone else. When he saw that there was a crosshair on the blunderbuss barrel, he couldn't help but subconsciously closed one eye and moved the other one.
My eyes are still narrowed...
It seems that he is looking for the feeling of three points and one line. However, although there is a crosshair on the gun, it is still very different from the guns of later generations, so Jia Liu has never been able to find the feeling.
The hemp rope is burning, just waiting to pull the trigger to ignite the chamber.
Jia Liu thought that his posture was absolutely up to standard, and there was no point in thinking about killing things, so he took a musket and looked around to see if there were any sparrows.
sparrow?
There’s not even any mahua, it’s all gone damn long ago.
I randomly found a tree as a reference, and just when I was about to launch my shot and receive praise from everyone, a figure appeared on the avenue in front of me.
The person who came was none other than Liu De, the foreign affairs chief of Fujian Green Camp. He had just learned from the village that Master Jia was bringing his team out for training, so he hurriedly came all the way.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw Mr. Jia pointing a gun at him. He was startled and quickly waved his hands and shouted: "Sir, it's me, don't shoot, don't shoot!"
Jia Liu was also shocked and almost shot Liu De to death.
"Take it!"
Throwing the shotgun to Yang Zhi, Jia Liu quickly stepped forward to meet him.
There was a "bang" sound behind him, and when he looked back in shock, Yang Zhi saw that the muzzle of the birdgun in Yang Zhi's hand was smoking.
On the ground, there were seven or eight people lying on their backs, holding their heads and sticking their butts out.
Two more jumped directly into the woods.
Jia Liu shook his head, these men were too timid.
"Is anyone hurt?"
"No...no."
"No further."
.........
"Master Jia, I'm back!"
Liu De's heart was still pounding at this moment. Just now he was really afraid that Master Jia's marksmanship would kill him with one shot.
Jia Liu asked anxiously: "Has everything been done?"
"It's done!"
While talking, Liu De took out a bag sealed with brown paper. After opening it, he found a thick stack of banknotes.
I'm afraid there are more than hundreds of them.
The maximum face value is one thousand taels, and the minimum face value is fifty taels.
Jia Liu felt calm, suppressed his excitement and asked: "How much is the total?"
"There are seventy-four thousand one hundred taels in total. Seven thousand four hundred taels were deducted. On the way back, I happened to bump into Peng and Lu. I gave them four thousand taels each according to your instructions..."
In fact, there are fifty-eight thousand, seven hundred taels of silver notes here.
"Okay, okay!... Well done, I'll give you a credit."
Jia Liu nodded and without hesitation counted five silver notes worth one thousand taels and one hundred silver notes worth one hundred taels and handed them to Liu De.
Mr. Jia is a meticulous person and speaks with faith.
If you say you give me fifteen thousand taels, I will give you fifteen thousand. It’s not bad at all!
As for how Liu De is divided, that is his business, Mr. Jia does not ask.
What is this called?
trust.
"Thank you, sir!"
Liu De kept the banknotes in his arms, and with Mr. Jia, a disciple of the Eight Banners, carrying him, he was afraid that the money would not come rolling in in the future.
It's not much. I can do two or three jobs a year and then stop. Then I can just donate a lieutenant.
"Have you caught up with me over there?"
Personal safety is Jia Liu's top priority, just like making money.
Liu De hurriedly said: "Sir, this matter cannot be rushed. I have asked those people to find a solution, but I am afraid there will be no news for a while..."
"Okay...that,"
Jia Liu coughed lightly and glanced at the camp soldier who was teaching the flagman how to shoot.
"understand!"
Liu De knew in his heart that Master Jia wanted to give the flag bearer Su La some money so that the camp soldiers would not see it, so he stepped forward and called his men back to the camp.
"Brigade, why aren't you training?"
Zu Yingyuan was confused. He hadn't fired many shots.
Jia Liu did not answer, but climbed to a higher stone, raised his hands to the worshipers Atang and Su La, and shouted angrily: "Assemble, have a meeting, share the money!"
This is undoubtedly the most beautiful sound in the world.
