Two thousand Thunderbolt 1646 rifles and ammunition were quickly transferred to the barracks on the outskirts of Gwangju Prefecture via merchant ships. Only the transfer of the ten Napoleon cannons was a little more troublesome. After all, no matter how much the weight of these Napoleon cannons is reduced, their total weight is still about 560 kilograms.
Fortunately, after two full days of tedious transportation, and after paying the price of two coolies being accidentally crushed to death by an overturned artillery piece, ten artillery pieces and two thousand Thunderbolt 1646 rifles were neatly placed in the barracks. among.
Twenty Xinghai instructors wearing green camouflage uniforms stood with their legs straddled, their hands behind their backs, and two box guns stuck in their waists, which made them look even more powerful.
Next to them were the governor and a group of Nanming officers, and opposite them were a group of Nanming soldiers standing slightly neatly.
Some of these Nanming soldiers were elites selected from armies from various places under Emperor Zhaowu's personal order, and the other part were newly recruited soldiers.
In order to encourage this new army, Emperor Zhaowu gritted his teeth and gave 1.5 times the salary.
If this were not the case, given the current state of the Zhaowu regime, it would still be a bit difficult to recruit troops.
After all, the reputation of the Qing army is too loud in this category. Everyone knows that as a soldier, you have to fight the Qing army to the death. No one else would be willing to do it.
The governor stood up first and said something to the effect that he hoped everyone would be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, serve the country with public service, etc.
After that, those Nanming officers stepped forward and directed their companies to step forward to receive the firearms.
Well, that’s right, the company.
Probably due to too many defeats with the Qing army, Nanming was suffering from internal and external troubles, and seeing the Ming Dynasty in danger, Emperor Zhaowu became cruel this time, overthrowing the laws of his ancestors and insisting on promoting the Xinghai Kingdom's military system in the new army.
Therefore, as soon as these instructors arrived, the first thing they did was to count the rosters of officers and soldiers, and then organize them into two infantry regiments, totaling ten infantry companies.
Therefore, Emperor Zhaowu tried every means to get into his own camp and was appointed as the commander of the New Army. He took up a new part-time job as commander of the First Division of the New Army.
The command officer under him is the deputy division commander, the garrison is the regiment commander, and the deputy garrison is the deputy regiment commander.
General Manager Qian and Deputy General Manager Qian are respectively the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander.
The commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief are respectively the company commander and deputy company commander.
The general flag is the platoon leader, and the small flag is the squad leader.
All in all, in this order, it's not too much of a problem.
This is equivalent to the military ranks of Xiaoqi, Chief Banner, Commander-in-Chief, and Commander-in-Chief.
This is not surprising. The Ming Dynasty has always held the idea of going to heaven. All other people have always been barbarians in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
But the first emperor in Nanming, Emperor Hongguang, had not yet sent an envoy to ask the Franji people for help.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Emperor Zhaowu would make such a decision.
Precisely because they were only working part-time, those officers did not cause trouble. Instead, they were a little happy that they were in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor.
However, Emperor Zhaowu's imperial edict has stated that in the next two months of training, these twenty instructors from Xinghai Kingdom will be angels sent by His Majesty the Emperor. All training matters must obey the instructions of the instructors, and no officers are allowed to do so. Interference, otherwise dismissed and investigated.
With this sword of Shangfang, the instructor team can instill their own will. Otherwise, if the officers object even if they stand in a military posture, then the training will not continue.
Because the number of instructors was too small, after some discussion between the two time-travel instructors, they decided to send the instructors to the company level. Even the two time-travel instructors sent themselves down.
It must be said that the new army officers were not very fond of instructor Xinghai at first.
After all, in their perception, Xinghai Kingdom is a group of rebellious thieves, but His Majesty the Emperor is merciful and does not care about them.
But now these thieves actually wanted to be their instructors, which they couldn't accept.
Are these Kun thieves very good at swordsmanship, or are they capable of piercing the enemy with a hundred steps in their archery skills?
Due to His Majesty's imperial decree, they did not dare to cause trouble, but they still felt a little aggrieved.
Think about it, a group of officers and soldiers were trained by a group of thieves. This is simply a big joke.
But after the instructors discovered that these officers were resistant, they took them to the shooting range outside the military camp and demonstrated to them the shooting process of the Thunderbolt 1646 and Napoleon guns.
After this performance, which was called a demonstration and actually shocked, these officers looked at the pigs and sheep that had been beaten into sieves by lead bullets, and the brick walls that were shattered by the shells, and their hearts trembled.
They discovered that the news that the entire army of Governor Biao Camp had been destroyed might be true. When they thought that they would also have such powerful force, they looked at the instructors with fear and excitement in their eyes.
Because they discovered that if their new army could fight as well as the Kun thieves, then the Qing army would no longer seem to be a problem.
This also means that I will embark on a glorious road!
Being granted the title of marquis will not be a distant luxury.
After such operations, the officers suddenly became more honest and no longer acted in a secretive manner regarding training.
Fortunately, these officers were carefully selected by Emperor Zhaowu, and they were more or less passionate about making contributions. If they were replaced by those old oilmen, it would be difficult to say.
After all, there are too many people in Nanming's army who are just getting by.
As the new army of Nanming Zhaowu entered into formal training, the thousand-ton cargo ship also left Bailongtan.
After all, this thing is the only freighter that can move in Xinghai Kingdom. The other freighters are larger in tonnage. According to the existing technology of Xinghai Kingdom, it is too difficult to repair.
Especially the two giant container ships with a capacity of 200,000 tons, the main bearings were broken during the crossing.
The main bearing of such a giant wheel cannot be manufactured by ordinary manufacturers at all. It can't be helped, it is too thick.
Let's put it this way, if the main bearing is hollow, people can drive in it without any problem.
Therefore, the only use of these freighters now is to seal up the cables, computers and other precision instruments inside to prevent them from being corroded.
After all, these things, this batch of time-traveling sentient beings from Xinghai Kingdom may never see the day they are created.
Under such circumstances, these things must not be wasted.
For example, the power supply cables in the freighter can be used in future hydropower stations. They are definitely better than the cables made by Xinghai Kingdom.
The thousand-ton cargo ship has left, but it does not mean that Xinghai Kingdom will stop sending firearms to Nanming.
After the army changed its equipment, there were more than 4,000 Thunderbolt 1646s that were replaced. Although the barrels of the guns were seriously stained with lead, after cleaning, the rifling wear was not serious. After all, these rifles basically experienced a lot of wear and tear after being equipped. Just two battles.
In addition, there are 6,000 new guns in the warehouse of the Ministry of Military Affairs.
