In fact, although artillery is the most outstanding military force at present, its training itself is more difficult and boring than infantry. ⊙As an artillery, the biggest requirement is physical strength. Loading ammunition, cleaning the cannon chamber, resetting the cannon, and repairing the cannon vehicle are all skills that artillery must master. To engage in continuous artillery battles with the opponent during battle, good physical strength and organizational discipline are equally important.

In addition, although artillery is a special force, the training of shooting and stinging cannot be left behind. Although artillery should be protected by other military branches on the battlefield, Zhao Guanhou lacks trust in the current team combat cooperation level of the Jin army, and is more willing to believe in himself. Therefore, the shooting and stinging training of the artillery battalion is not much more idle than ordinary infantry.

In addition, engineers are also under training to build artillery positions, build chest walls, build bridges, bury landmines, etc. Soldiers are sweating and mud every day, which is commonplace.

As officers, they do not need to undergo heavy physical training, but their lives are even less easy because they all need math training like gunners.

The current Jin Dynasty artillery team is basically based on experience. The launch of artillery depends on the personal experience of the gunner. An experienced gunner is often a valuable resource. Systematic learning, theoretical knowledge mastery, and even on-site calculations are not their ability.

For example, Shang Quan, because he learned artillery in Prussia and understood some trigonometric functions, he was already considered a treasure in the new army. Although Zhao Guanhou was not very interested in mathematics in his previous life, he had learned a system at least. In this era, at least he had no problem as a mathematics professor in the territory of the Jin Dynasty. Teaching these officers was a piece of cake.

However, the military officers had limited cultural level, and the habits were difficult to change. Letting them calculate equations, consider the amount of artillery charge, the angle of artillery, etc. really made these people feel uncomfortable. Some of them tried to contact Shang Quan and fought with Zhao Guanhou, but they did not want Shang Quan to respond to them, but they were cold-faced and scolded. Shang Quan, who had learned artillery exercises in Prussia and met the face of the Thai army, was a die-hard supporter of Zhao Guanhou in this matter and firmly supported officers in math learning.

The leaders and leaders joined forces, and the people below had nothing to say, so they had to sit down and be a good student. The trigonometric functions and Lancaster equations were learned one by one, as if they had become candidates for the exam.

Zhao Guanhou's training method did rebound at the beginning, including the newly recruited soldiers fleeing and even attempting to assassinate him. However, the fugitive was caught back immediately and beheaded in front of everyone. The attempted assassination would harm his family. Since then, this resistance gradually decreased.

The military pay of the cannon camp soldiers is higher than that of ordinary infantry, which is also an important reason for maintaining the training of the troops. The monthly military pay for soldiers is 6 taels and 5 cents of deducting food expenses, and they can get 6 taels of silver home. The recruits recruited are all families and families fleeing. In their hometown, they are just ordinary farmers, and 6 taels of silver a month is simply astronomical to them. Now that they have so much money, their families can survive and suffer a little, they recognize them.

Furthermore, Zhao Guanhou did not intend to use torture, but also supplemented with rewards. For example, those with outstanding training results every month can get bounty. The New Army battalions purchased their own food, and soldiers in the artillery battalions could eat meat once every ten days. Although they only had enough, they were much stronger than infantry who ate meat once every half a month. Moreover, they introduced the policy of practicing hard work if they wanted to eat meat, and the enthusiasm of soldiers was also greatly improved.

After a month, this refugee army has become quite good.

On the playground, rows of straw men were erected. The new army held rifles in their hands and attacked the straw men. They stabbed the straw men with bayonets. It was already very well-organized. The sword was quickly and powerful, and the soldiers also cooperated. Zhao Guanhou said to Shang Quan: "I bet that half of them imagined the straw target as me."

After the past few months of running out, the two of them have been very accomplicated. The conflict or power struggle that they had originally expected did not occur. Although there was the factor that Shang Quan could be a human being, another point was that Zhao Guanhou let Shang Quan see hope.

With Shang Quan's qualifications and relationships, it's almost time to get the lead. Moreover, Duan Zhiquan didn't come back. As long as he returned from Fusang, Shang Quan had to let the seal be. At most, he would be a seal protector for a period of time, so the expectations were not too high.

Zhao Guanhou may not have much command ability, but when he was in the martial arts school, Qi Kaifen not only gave him a set of artillery tutorials, but also gave him all his artillery experiences. These experience summary can be considered as valuable wealth that is hard to buy at present. Zhao Guanhou's own ability to remember through his eyes has helped a lot.

There is no concept that is ahead of this era, but with the first-class textbooks of this era and the experience of a qualified instructor, the operation of the artillery camp is much more energetic and energetic than the Duan Zhiquan era.

Zhao Guanhou's training method made Shang Quan see that his army is likely to become a brand new artillery. Moreover, the army has many troops, one battalion tops and more than two battalions elsewhere, and it may be expanded into a bid. In that case, Zhao Guanhou becomes a bidding commander, and he can still serve as a guardian, or even serve as a gang commander. By then, when Duan Zhiquan returns, he doesn't have to hand over his authority.

After comparing the two times, he felt that Duan was not as good as Zhao, and began to cooperate wholeheartedly. He smiled and said, "You know, who told you yesterday that a mine was buried in the engineering camp could not be found, so that the recruits would walk back and forth on the playground to stomp the mine. It would be strange if they didn't hate you."

"Hate, I feel relieved when I see that they can execute orders. The soldiers who can take this risk to step on the mine can charge forward with guns and shells on the battlefield in the future, or raise a bayonet and fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. Without this kind of elegance, no matter how good the morale is, they are still golden bows and jade arrows, which are invincible."

"What this means is that those who serve in the army must obey orders and know that the military orders are like a mountain. Without the orders of the chief officer, they cannot be shaken and dispersed. This team will be trained like this for a year, but with the same firepower in the Jin Dynasty, I think no one is our opponent."

Zhao Guanhou pondered and said, "Mr. Shang, in your opinion, what is our cannon camp still missing now."

Shang Quan said: "I have already thought about this issue. Our artillery battalion now lacks two things. The first is the lack of cannons, and the second is the lack of horses. Our artillery is too small now, with only two twelve-pound cannons, and the others are two and three-pound cannons, and the other are few horses and pack horses. Of course, it is enough to pull small cannons, but if you want to form the flying cavalry artillery team, the animal is a bit insufficient. We still have to find a way to get more horses back at the moment."

According to the plan, his artillery battalion wanted to be equipped with six twelve-pound field guns, twelve six-pound guns, and eighteen two-pound guns. According to the demand, the horses should have three hundred horses. But in fact, there was not one six-pound gun, and only two twelve-pound guns. The horses had less than one hundred, and even if they added mules, they could not make up three hundred.

As a result, the mobility was greatly affected, making it impossible to bring all the artillery he owned to the battlefield to participate in the battle, and the mobility on the battlefield was also poor. In addition, another problem that trapped him was that he wanted too few landmines.

Zhao Guanhou and Duan Zhiquan had different ideas. The former focused on artillery and artillery training, and paid limited attention to other auxiliary soldiers. The battlefield idea was to concentrate artillery fire to attack the enemy. As for protecting artillery, it was left to the infantry to complete it.

The latter pays more attention to the construction of battalion engineering teams and baggage teams. In other words, they are actually thinking about how to save themselves. Although artillery combat effectiveness is strong, it is far inferior to infantry in terms of basic combat training intensity. It must be protected by infantry, otherwise it will be easy to be attacked by the enemy and take off the position.

Zhao Guanhou asked Yuan Weiting for a thunder and lightning team responsible for mine burying and demining to strengthen it. According to his vision, once the artillery needs to fight on the spot, a bunch of mines will be buried to prevent enemy attacks. In addition, it is to attach more horses to ensure that the troops are maneuverable and flexible. After the artillery fires, it will be transferred immediately and left after the attack, and try not to be attacked by the enemy. When encountering war, the horses pull ammunition trucks and artillery trucks, all officers will be on horseback, and some artillery soldiers will also be on horseback to ensure the speed of the troops' movement. This rapid response to accelerate the attack on artillery is named Flying Cavalry Artillery Team, referring to the current Thais' name.

Shang Quan naturally welcomed this kind of artillery team. In his opinion, once this kind of artillery team is successfully formed, one artillery battalion can exert the power of the current three artillery battalions. Yuan Weiting also supported this, but it is hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. If you want to achieve these, you must have a cannon and a horse to talk about other things.

With Mrs. Jane Sen, and Yuan Weiting is now a magistrate and a vassal officer, he can also make some money, but it is not impossible to buy it through foreigners. But there is a problem here, which is the procedures or status. Han Rong is the highest commander of this army. Buying cannons and horses on his back cannons and horses is easy to give him the impression of being supreme. It is very likely that after buying it, he will be ordered by him to use it for other troops. Now the front and rear troops of the Wuwei are asking for artillery and horses, and these things must be guarded against.

I heard that Han Rong had recently purchased a batch of foreign cannons and good horses, but he was going to leave them for his military military to use for his own use, so he didn't want to issue them. All the troops watched the cannons and horses as fat pieces. Even if Han Rong was eating big, he wanted to divide some soup and they were all thinking of ways.

Shang Quan mentioned this, and hoped that Zhao Guanhou could think of a way to help the artillery team get a batch of artillery and horses back. From the bottom of his heart, everyone has selfish intentions and small plans. I hope that his troops and equipment will be better than others, which is also a natural habit.

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "This matter is indeed something that must be done. I will go to see the adults now and ask him for an order to go to Baoding. As for the matter here, there will be a labour merchant."

He is Yuan Weiting's confidant. It is very easy to see Yuan. As soon as he informed, he could meet immediately. There were only two of them in the room. After meeting and sitting down, Yuan Weiting smiled and said, "Calculate the day, you will know that you should come. It's time to ask Han Rong for a new set of lattices?"

Zhao Guanhou also smiled, "What my brother-in-law said is very true. Every time this time comes, it should be time to get into the trap. I still have to take leave from you and go to Baoding once. By the way, I will help the artillery camp to get some belongings."

Since he has the identity of a spy, he has to write a letter to Han Rong every month. On the surface, their letters do not seem to be special, but if they use a special frame, they can read out completely different meanings. This frame is changed every three months, which is to prevent others from finding the rules.

But what Han Rong didn't know was that all the secret letters he had given him were drafted by Yuan Weiting, copied by Zhao Guanhou, and confirmed by Yuan Weiting. Han Rong thought he was in control of the situation, but in fact he was regarded as a puppet by others.

Yuan Weiting said: "This matter has to be done. In the current turmoil of the court, Zhong Shuai is probably even more worried about me. You can go at this time and it is very time to go. He will probably not refuse more guns and more horses. In short, our Wuwei Youjun must eat this mouthful and not fall into the mouths of other people. Mrs. Jiansen, you have to go to Baoding if you have something to do. You two can get a train."

Speaking of this, he laughed again, and Zhao Guanhou also smiled with him, and the word "the most difficult thing to absorb the kindness of beauty" echoed in his mind. Mrs. Jason was eccentric and knew the taste. These days, she came to make excuses to date with him every few days, but she was afraid that the news would leak to Han Zhi. She didn't know what would happen.

But if you have done something, you have to bear the consequences. Regret is useless, so you have to take one step at a time.

On the train heading to Baoding, Zhao Guanhou and Jane Sen were sitting in the private room, saying their own words. This time, they arrived in Baoding, mainly for the power plant. The land has been approved and the power plant has begun to be built, but there are always some work that requires the Jin Dynasty government to coordinate before continuing to promote. Therefore, Jane Sen was under the banner of negotiations this time, but in fact, he relived the dream with Zhao Guanhou.

"Guanhou, the emperor of your country has finally broken away from the constraints of the empress dowager and can fully control the rule. Judging from the news, he is going to carry out a comprehensive and thorough political change. I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity that is very beneficial to you. A young and promising general like you should be easily appreciated by the young emperor and thus be promoted."
