In fact, this group of non-commissioned officers who were considered "defective" by Marin is already very powerful. At least, they have mastered all the commonly used words and understand many military terms. In this era, they may not be able to compare with those geniuses, but they are definitely qualified to be called "talents".
These non-commissioned students may have average thinking skills, but they still have a good grasp of basic knowledge. In East Friesland, there were 10,000 primary school students in the first class. However, when they were promoted to the fourth grade, they took an exam and eliminated 4,000 people. Those 4,000 people were real poor students. Many people could not recognize words, and simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division were not clear. Even so, those 4,000 people were also snatched from many craftsmen to be apprentices. After all, they could write and calculate simply, which was much better than those who had no cultural foundation at all. Of course, only the first people who were eliminated had the value of training, and those who were the last... Well, it was better than those who were illiterate...
After that, after the remaining 6,000 people graduated from elementary school, only 2,000 people continued to go to school, and the remaining 4,000 people were eliminated. But strictly speaking, these 4,000 people are no longer considered poor students, but are middle-aged students of this era.
As mentioned above, Malin felt that they were not as good as those of the poor students in later generations. It was not that they were stupid, but because they were dragged down by unprofessional teachers. After all, many of the first batch of teachers in Beihai Country were very poor. In terms of talent, these non-commissioned officers were not very talented, but they were not low, and they were at the average level.
Each of them can write essays with fluent language. Although the words are not beautiful enough and the words are very immature, they can definitely express the meaning clearly. Those who do not express the meaning clearly in writing essays will be eliminated when they are promoted to the fourth grade.
Like the education that Malin received in his previous life, these Beihai primary school students also started writing diaries in the second grade and in the third grade. The diary requirements are very low, just a few sentences, just a record of the book. The composition requires a high level of writing, and you need to write articles that are fluent in language and can clearly express your meaning. There is no need to be literary, but only to be able to explain things clearly...
This is very important in the army and can be used when writing combat reports. This level can be used to be able to do the work of documents when you get it to the local area. As for literary talent, in this era, I am afraid that only civil officials of the Ming Dynasty would pursue those? The literacy rate in Europe is very low, and the requirements of officials are to be able to write documents and reports with smooth language and clear meanings. It just so happens that it is the minimum requirement for these non-commissioned officers...
In fact, other nobles in the Beihai Kingdom were very surprised that everyone in this group of non-commissioned officers could write articles with smooth language and clear meanings. Therefore, Schwartz and others felt that it was a waste to let Marin join the army.
Only Marin, a time traveler, who is used to college students in later generations, will be so nitpicking and have such high requirements. But this cannot be considered wrong, because Marin is confident that after a new batch of teachers is trained and replaced those unprofessional temporary rural teachers, it can improve Beihai Kingdom education a lot and cultivate talents that are satisfied with Marin, a time traveler.
Therefore, Ma Lin would rather wait for a few years than release these "defective" non-commissioned officers, so as not to lower the standards in vain and make it difficult to deal with it in the future.
...
After the successful formation of the new young guards, Malin was also very excited. Because none of these 1,000 people had poor understanding. After all, they were also people who had experienced an elimination. Despite the poor teaching staff, they could survive a high elimination rate of 40%, which proved that their qualifications were still OK. At least, they were better than the illiterate mountain people recruited by Malin from southern Germany. Because they valued these little guys, Malin personally took the initiative during training. To be honest, since becoming the Grand Duke of Beihai, Malin has never personally trained the army. But because of the special nature of this army, Malin made an exception and personally served as an instructor...
Sure enough, Marin felt very comfortable during training. Because these non-commissioned officers cooperated so much...
As long as Marin makes any instructions, there is no need to explain it a second or even several times, these non-commissioned officers can fulfill his request without fail.
Of course, they had a background of ten years of militarized education and were not unfamiliar with orders in the military. For example, in the shooting, few people escaped the targets within 50 yards.
Although the human-shaped target area is large, it is not easy to not off-target when shooting within 50 yards with a smoothbore gun. After all, the characteristics of the smoothbore gun are there, which is not conducive to aiming and shooting.
With this good foundation, the next thing will be easier...
Malin asked the Beihai Guojun factory to come up with a batch of best-quality firearms, all of which were thickened by the pipe wall. The reason why the pipe wall was thickened was mainly to prevent the blow-off. After all, if smokeless gunpowder is used, the chamber pressure during shooting is higher than that of black gunpowder. It is easy to cause problems without using a firm barrel.
As for the problem of the thickening of the pipe wall, it is nothing. Because these teenagers have been training to carry guns since childhood, not only can they be able to hold the musket, but their hands do not shake.
When they were in elementary school, they were still young and could not move real guns. Therefore, in elementary school military classes, children stood in military posture with wooden sticks imagining for muskets, and held wooden sticks motionlessly to aim and shoot. After several years of training, naturally few people trembled their hands, which was very conducive to accurate shooting.
When they are at the non-commissioned school stage (equivalent to junior high school stage), when they are practicing gun-holding, the instructors will tie a small brick to the front of their wooden sticks (adult soldiers tie a whole or even a few bricks directly at the muzzle), to exercise their arm strength, and not to shake their hands when shooting.
You should know that when shooting, as long as the muzzle moves a little, the deviation after shooting may be very large. 10 meters and 20 meters may not have a big impact. For shooting over 100 meters, if the muzzle shakes slightly, it is impossible to hit the target, even if it is a huge human-shaped target.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, in addition to exercising the arm strength of the gun, the main purpose is to exercise the ability to hold the gun. Only when the gun body is not moved as much as possible at the moment of shooting can the gun be hit more accurately.
After 10 years of training, even the talented soldiers were not much inferior in shooting. And the kind of person who was really shaking his hands was eliminated as early as when he graduated from elementary school.
At that time, 4,000 people were eliminated from 6,000 primary school graduates, and only 1,000 were sent to the NPC. At that time, they were eliminated. Those who were born to shake their hands when holding guns were not suitable for being musketeers, so they naturally had to be eliminated. But they also had a future because they were snatched from various factories in Beihai Country to be apprentices. After all, they were also considered "top students" of this era with education.
Therefore, the non-commissioned officers who stayed in the end all had good shooting skills. At least, after several years of training, they could reach a good level.
In this way, Marin arranged them to be the best of his skills.
After the firearm with a total weight of 5 kg (the standard flintlock rifle weighs 9 pounds, which is 4 kg), no one thought the gun was heavy. After all, they practiced muzzle hanging bricks every day in the non-commissioned officer school, and had already developed a pair of "kirin arms".
These boys were in the non-commissioned school, and Marin did not treat them badly. Especially in meat food, because they had a large amount of training, Marinte ordered them to eat meat every day. This treatment was not even the First Legion.
Of course, most of the meat here is fish. After all, fish is cheap. If you eat pork, beef, mutton, Marin cannot afford it. Nowadays, there is no competition from other countries for fishing boats. The Beihai country's medium-sized fishing boats cross the Beihai fishing grounds, and the supply of fish is very sufficient. Since Marin introduced the pickling technology of cabbage and sauerkraut from the Ming Dynasty, sauerkraut fish has become a standard dish commonly eaten by teenagers in non-commissioned officer schools. Because of eating sauerkraut fish every day, many non-commissioned officers now want to vomit when they see sauerkraut fish - they really eat too much...
