Chapter 52 Vanguard Teaching Team
The biggest reason why hot weapons can replace cold weapons is that the former has lower requirements for users than the latter.
Of course, it wasn't that the case at the beginning.
For example, in our world, although the term musket later became the general term for almost all pre-installed muskets, it was a surprising behemoth when it first appeared on the Italian battlefield in 1421.
The word mushroom first appeared in the list of Arsenals in Naples in 1499. According to the existing objects, the gun has a body length of 550 mm, a diameter of 30 mm, a total length of 1430 mm, and an octagonal barrel.
The term musket comes from the Latin musca, fly, and is also a Latin name for throwing arrows. In the 16th century, the Musket improved by the Spanish was a gun with a diameter of 23 mm, a total weight of 11 kilograms, a bullet weight of 50 grams, a maximum range of 250 meters, and an effective range of 100 meters. Although it has been greatly improved compared to the open musket, it is still too bulky and can only be mounted on the shoulders of another soldier, or supported by a short spear or a special y-shaped bracket.
Because it is too bulky, loading has become a tiring job; at that time, the loading of this kind of musket only took 10 seconds, but positioning, installation, aiming and shooting took more than 20 seconds. Needless to say, moving is also difficult, and the recoil during launch - the projectiles fired are about twice as heavy as open muskets - is also something that cannot be ignored.
The shooters of these mesh guns were selected. The powerful man received more military pay. On the battlefield, there were often followers to carry equipment. But in front of the projectiles fired by the musket, the scale armor and chain mail became weak and incompetent things for the first time.
As a result, people had to sacrifice their destructive power. By the end of the 16th century, muskets had become a weapon for light infantry and cavalry personnel. The caliber was reduced to less than 15 mm, and the size was almost the same as that of modern rifles.
Although its power is not as powerful as before, muskets became popular and completely reversed the proportion of musketeers and spearmen in the army throughout the 16th century. By the end of the 16th century, spearmen had completely become a presence for musketeers to provide cover for cavalry charges.
The crossbow and longbow finally withdrew from the army sequence in the 16th century; although early muskets were worse than crossbows in some performance, compared with crossbowmen, especially longbowmen, the training of muskets was quite quick.
In addition, muskets, especially projectiles, are also very convenient. It takes several months to make a longbow. It takes one week to make a crossbow, and one day is enough. It takes half an hour to make a crossbow, but the projectiles can be cast in large quantities. In "Les Miserables", the insurrectionists melt metal vessels to make projectiles, which is unimaginable in the era of using crossbows.
Simpler training, more convenient logistics and better armor-breaking ability have brought humans into the era of hot weapons.
If shooting is regarded as a kind of sport, it actually depends on physical control. This is why even Olympic-level shooting athletes have myopia. For example, Wang Yifu, a famous Chinese star, had the lowest vision at 0.1, which was almost half blind, but he could still win the Olympic champion.
There is no need to say more about the ability of these children to control their bodies. Even if they are only in their teens, they will be far superior to the top players in our world. They just don’t know how to use them.
With the two little teachers Li Zisheng and Hu Yunhong, these dozen children mastered the key points without much time.
In just one morning, the soldiers roared in the yard of Pioneer Newspaper, which had been familiar with more than a dozen targets, for a long time. By lunch time, these children were basically inseparable from the tenth. This was due to the craftsmanship problem. The parts inside these guns were not closed tightly.
Li Zisheng looked at the sky and ended the Young Pioneers' first military training.
When these children were about to hand over the guns reluctantly, the teenager announced again that they could bring the quick guns in their hands home, which won a burst of cheers from their subordinates.
After the members of the Young Pioneer Team left, Li Zisheng stayed and had some lunch with his younger brother in the newspaper.
When he finished his meal and sat down to digest food, he asked his younger brother, "Renyizi, is this shooting fun?"
Li Ziren said with a bitter face: "Brother, it's not fun at all. My ears are about to be deaf."
"Uh?" This big brother was a bit unexpected. Don't boys like to fight and kill?
His younger brother said to himself: "Brother, I still like to stay at home. Next time..."
He said coquettishly: "Can you keep me at home? OK?"
Li Zisheng asked in confusion: "What's so fun about this family? It's either a accountant who settles the accounts or comes to discuss business with his father."
"Brother, you don't know." Li Ziren immediately became happy when he heard this question. "Those businesses can make Yuanshi. My mother told me a long time ago that the Yuanshi we earn in the city shop in a year can buy the crops in the entire village of Lishan!"
"oh……"
Li Zisheng felt a little discouraged. He couldn't help but doubt the statement in the clan. His Li family really kept the bloodline of the ancient military god Chiyou. Is it really a descendant of the general of the previous dynasty? He also asked a question mark in his mind about the origin of the book "Five Elements Warcraft World".
Why does it seem that the genetic factor of this wealthy fan is stronger than that of a warrior?
For example, his father and his dead clan brother Li Zixu, as well as those elders in the clan who are so proud of him, now he has his younger brother.
At this time, he understood a little. No wonder the uncle of Li Zhaozhou clan valued him so much. It turned out that he had long seen that he was like him, and that the uncle and nephew were the real aliens among the Li clan.
No, I have to take advantage of my younger brother's age to transform him well. Even Shi Gandang, who has lived in Taipingdao since childhood, can transform him, so he doesn't believe that Ren Jizi will not do it.
He organized the language in his mind and was about to speak to his brother to do ideological work, Ye Ganzi walked in from outside the door and said respectfully: "President, Young Master Ren, the members have already had lunch and are waiting for you in the yard. Can we start?"
Li Zisheng had to stop for the time being and dragged his somewhat reluctant brother to the yard shining directly by the scorching sun in the early summer.
The military training we will do this afternoon is the real military training!
If the militia regiment of the Young Pioneer Army was held in the morning, then the teaching team of the Pioneer Army was held in the afternoon!
As mentioned in the previous document, the distribution specialist and young reporter of the Pioneer News Agency, including Ye Ganzi, are actually all Li Zisheng's slaves. Not to mention that the right to personal life and the right to life are also in the hands of Master Li. Whether it is life or death is just a matter of a young man.
This is completely different from Captain Li's Young Pioneers. The Young Pioneers are just a means to unite his peers. It can also be said that this is his political experiment.
The children standing in the yard are his real team. If he made up his mind to train these children into his own private army, even his father would have nothing to say.
Another point is that these children have not yet completed the cultivation of the acquired realm of concentration in the spiritual realm, which means that they are still mortals now.
As a soldier of the Liberator Legion, Li Zisheng certainly understood the hard truth of the need for power to come out of the gun.
But the masses he wants to mobilize must be mortals at the bottom, so the vast majority of the army he wants to form must be mortals.
Li Zisheng is not going to be a savior who relies solely on his personal combat power to save all people from water and fire, but to let all human beings exert their initiative and become their own masters!
But if the mortals in Dajiuzhou have undergone rigorous training and hold "advanced" weapons in their hands, they will still be unable to fight against the cultivators in the end...
Then his path will inevitably be more tortuous, more difficult, and more...that is, he must find another way.
The military training conducted in the afternoon was the teenager's military experiment.
That's why he spent a lot of effort to do the two training sessions with different contents in the afternoon and formed two teams with completely different training policies and establishment purposes.
Li Zisheng’s purpose is self-evident. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
