The queue training of the Qiongzhou battalion is basically the same set of the old space-time PLA, and it has to be said that this queue and military posture are the most suitable for the Chinese. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although the queue trained by the two laymen in Xia Nan and Lin Weiye cannot be compared with the military parade in the old time and space, in the eyes of the people in this time and space, such a unified dress, neat pace, and spears like a forest bring a visual impact that is extremely shocking.

"My Di Niang, this army is so neat that people are afraid, no wonder tens of thousands of troops in the imperial court have been defeated...... someone whispered.

"The general is really well-trained, and he trained such a strong army in Lingao, a place where birds don't......"

"This army does not wear the mandarin duck jackets of officers and soldiers, and does not use the name given by the government, so it is not to create a ......" has a bold mouth, and the person next to him reacts quickly, covers his mouth, and covers the word "anti" back.

Several people next to him whispered a lesson with a white face: "I'm afraid you're looking for death, but don't bother us, don't you know that the trouble comes from the mouth?" ”

After the man who almost got into trouble reacted, his face turned pale, and he closed his mouth tightly, not daring to say another word.

In addition to the necessary garrisons at the Bofu Wharf and the factories, and the artillery companies lacking horses, which did not take part in the parade, the infantry companies of the 1st and 2nd Battalions almost poured out, totaling 1,500 men. Under the gaze of the people on both sides, the long queue slowly passed through the West City, passed General Street, and went straight to the Mayuan military camp in the east.

After the team all passed, many people felt unsatisfied, and some people shouted: "Let's go, go to the barracks to see the drill of real swords and guns!" ”

The crowd responded and followed the army behind the butt to the horse barracks.

On the south side of the training ground of the Ma Yuan barracks, a viewing platform was temporarily erected. Xia Nan and the others accompanied Zhao Yue and the three magistrates to sit on it.

Zhao Yue knew that the so-called military parade was nothing more than a demonstration of strength to a few of them. Xia Nan's remarks at the banquet last night were by no means a whim, and today's military parade is the best proof of those words, which is to send a message to them: We are not those military generals who grovel in front of civilian officials, we have the strength, and we must control the right to speak in Qiongzhou Mansion.

Although Zhao Yue didn't believe that Xia Nan could fundamentally change the law of civility, nobility and martial inferiority, and he couldn't really interfere in the affairs of the whole government, at least at the moment, no one could control this domineering general. He sighed in his heart, turned his head to look at the three magistrates, and found that Liu Zezhong looked hungover, sitting in a chair and drowsy.

It's okay like this, lest this stunned young man speak and repeatedly offend Xia Nan. If he really provokes Xia Nan's anger, God knows what he will do.

Although the winter sun is not poisonous, Qiongzhou has always been hot, and it is still a little dizzy after a long time. Wei Bocheng was a little impatient, and looked at Zhao Yue, who was sitting in the middle, as if he was in deep thought, but he didn't have the slightest impatience. Look at Wu Mingjin next to him, sitting in a precarious position, more serious than waiting for the official to receive him, and shook his head slightly at the moment, this Wu Zhi County, there is such an arrogant military general in the jurisdiction, and it is really bad for eight lifetimes.

Wu Mingjin didn't know what Wei Bocheng was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. He is the closest person to the most knowledgeable of the strength of the Qiongzhou battalion, and understands the fate of offending the Qiongzhou battalion. Today, he just wants to witness with his own eyes how strong the team under Xia Nan has become in the past three years from "Xiangyong" to accepting the appeasement. With this in mind, he observed more carefully than Wei Bocheng and others, and from the moment he entered the training ground, he found that a large number of scarecrows were erected on the east side, which were fixed on the ground with wooden sticks, and he did not know what they were for.

I don't know how long I waited, but there was the sound of rumbling footsteps in the west. Zhao Yue and the others stretched their necks to look west, and the red flow of people appeared in the distance.

Zhao Yue cheered up, no matter what Xia Nan's purpose was, but today was the best time to observe the opponent's strength up close. The Qiongzhou battalion first defeated the Weisu army organized by the Qiongzhou government, and then defeated the elite battalion soldiers in Guangdong, and played a great reputation, although he knew the strength of the other party, but except for the attack on the wharf fleet in Qiongshan County, he had not directly contacted the other party.

After a while, the team entered the training ground with neat steps, and in an orderly manner, it changed from a long column to a large phalanx of several hundred-man columns.

Huang Hansheng, who was at the forefront, shouted angrily: "All of them, turn right!" ”

Fifteen hundred people turned to the right in unison, and the column turned into a horizontal formation, facing the viewing platform.

The neat movements of these thousands of people made Zhao Yue and the others secretly shocked in their hearts - this alone was enough to compare most of the Ming army.

Huang Hansheng ran out of the ranks, and after standing up, he saluted Xia Nan on the viewing platform, and said sonorously: "Report to the general, the participating troops of the first and second battalions of the Qiongzhou battalion have arrived, please give the general an order!" ”

Xia Nan returned a military salute: "The exercise begins!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Hansheng turned back and shouted to the team: "The drill begins!" ”

The phalanx quickly broke down into columns, left the viewing platform in batches, and reunited on both sides of the training ground. When the soldiers dispersed like a tidal wave, only the two companies in the center remained, leaving a large open space in between.

Two companies of 200 men were divided into four horizontal platoons, each with two platoons. The commander of the first company was a veteran from the Yanchang Guards, named Tan Li, and he was in charge of directing the exercises of the two companies. He pulled out a saber that could only be equipped by an officer at the rank of company commander or above, raised it above his head, and then slashed it down with great force, the tip of the knife pointed straight at the straw crowd to the east.

"Target, a hundred steps ahead, reload!"

Everyone took out the paper cartridge from the cloth bag on the side, bit it and sprinkled some gunpowder into the medicine pool, poured the rest of the gunpowder into the barrel, and then stuffed the projectile into the barrel together with the paper shell of the package, and tamped it with a strip. They have to practice these movements dozens or hundreds of times a day, and they are as proficient as eating.

"Raise your gun, shoot!"

The soldiers, with their rifles flat-ended, half-squatted in the first row and standing in the second, aimed at the scarecrows in front of them, pulled the trigger. From reloading to completing the shot, the whole process takes less than twenty seconds.

The gunfire was loud, the smoke was filled, and the scarecrow in front of him could be vaguely seen being torn apart by lead bullets.

"Reload!"

Tan Li gave the order again.

"Shoot!"

The crackling gunshots rang out again, and the smoke had obscured the view of the other side.

"Reload!"

"Shoot!"
