I want to ruin the country

The shipyard is currently under construction, and Zhang Xiang has not yet had time to reveal to them the technology for building warships.

Therefore, it is normal for Shen Baozhen and others to be surprised!

Gong Zhenlin said,

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that even the West doesn't have such technology now!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Don't be superstitious about Westerners. Our consultant Zhang and his research team have already mastered the key technology and are currently perfecting it.

I guess there will be good news soon.”

Yining said to Gong Zhenlin again,

"There's some progress to be made on the naval guns, I can tell you.

Future warships will all be equipped with large-caliber breech-loading guns, and will fire shrapnel and rockets."

Gong Zhenlin asked,

"What caliber?"

Yining Road,

"In inches, it's a little over 9 inches, and in millimeters, it's probably over 300 millimeters!"

The main guns on the Dreadnought-class battleships had a caliber of 12 inches, which is equivalent to 0.914 feet (304.8 mm) when converted into Chinese feet.

Several people opened their mouths in shock.

"Your Majesty, shrapnel, over 300mm? That's a lot of killing power!"

Yining Road,

"The caliber of guns will become larger and larger, and the range will become longer and longer. Survival of the fittest is the direction of development, and we must be at the forefront!"

People like Shen Baozhen are pillars of the country who have been tested by future generations. Yining has nothing to worry about!

After giving them some encouragement, he left Tianjin and returned to the capital.

When he left the city, he was still alone, but when he came back, he was accompanied by three beauties. Yining is so beautiful!

An imperial decree was issued, appointing Hongxiu as Mingfei, Qingxi as Duanfei, and Jintang as Huiwanyi.

The emperor suddenly had three beauties by his side, and the ministers were very happy.

Of course you can’t be happy for nothing, you also have to contribute!

Their contribution was just to say a few nice words to the emperor.

The emperor is not stingy and accepts his blessings. You all go home and he doesn’t even treat you to a banquet!

Cai Hemin and An Yiquan took 20,000 new troops on a boat heading north!

An Yiquan's five thousand men went to the central war zone to defend the capital, serving as seeds for expansion.

Of Cai Hemin's 15,000 men, 5,000 went to Shengjing to follow Senglinqin as a seed force to train the new army.

He led the remaining 10,000 people to the Korean Peninsula to protect the island and eliminate the Japanese pirates.

Cai Hemin led 10,000 wolf soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi, who were specially selected from soldiers who were familiar with the sea and could fight on ships.

They landed on Korea Island from Busan Port, which was the area most severely invaded by Japanese pirates.

All the fishermen within twenty miles of the coast have moved away.

There was no way out. The Japanese pirates came ashore to rob every few days like the wind. The fishermen were so scared that they turned pale at the mention of the Japanese pirates.

The North Korean officials were so shocked when they saw the soldiers in camouflage uniforms getting off the ship that their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

So this is the new army, not those soldiers with big hats and words "Soldier" and "Brave" written on their chests?

After the soldiers got off the ship, they lined up, assembled, and counted. Their neat military discipline and fierce spirit shocked everyone!

The general Park Ok-ju who was in charge of welcoming them thought to himself,

This team is full of murderous aura. Our country's sloppy army is simply not worth comparing with their new army!

I just don’t know how the war will go, but I hope they can completely wipe out the Japanese pirates!

Park Ok-ju delivered a welcome speech on behalf of King Lee Seung and distributed gifts such as chicken, duck, fish and meat.

Then he asked Cai Hemin about his plans.

"General Cai, our king really wants to see you!"

Cai Hemindao,

"General Park, I received an order from the commander to fight a few good battles to vent everyone's anger!

Some equipment will arrive in the next two days. After receiving the equipment, I will find an opportunity to fight the Japanese pirates.

Please tell the king that I will come to see him after we win the battle and the border is stabilized."

"Alright!"

Park Yuzhu went back to report!

Here, Cai Hemin hurriedly reported his situation to Senglin, and then wrote a memorial to the emperor to explain the situation.

A few days later, a ship carrying one thousand New China 1850-style semi-automatic rifles and one hundred mortars from the capital arrived at the shore.

Senglinqin was allocated 1,500 New China Type 1 rifles. He kept 500 for himself as training guns and gave the rest to Cai Hemin!

The soldiers were overjoyed when they saw the rifles and mortars.

As a soldier, who can not love such a powerful weapon?

Also coming with the ship were various types of mines.

Cai Hemin quickly arranged for people to teach how to use and maintain the new weapons.

The mortars here also started firing "bang bang bang".

After half a month of training, Cai Hemin selected the first batch of sharpshooters and artillerymen.

These people are the ones who learn the fastest and can achieve good results without much teaching!

As the saying goes, when there are more people, there will be all kinds of talents!

Some people can’t hit a ten-ring mark even after training their whole lives with guns, and the one they hit might be a lucky hit!

But some people are not like that. That's what they do when they pick up a gun.

For example, Zhang Taofang, the sniper god of the Volunteer Army, is such a person!

It is certainly true that he trains hard, but can one reach his level through training alone? Definitely not.

A true sharpshooter shoots with his heart. He just raises his hand and the target is in his hand. He doesn't need to aim at all. The crosshair is in his heart.

He said he would hit your left eye, but would never hit your right eye.

If that's not the case, don't call yourself a sharpshooter.

Most people take a long time to aim before they can fire a bullet. This is because they have undergone rigorous training to achieve perfect accuracy. If they were asked to just raise their hands and shoot, the accuracy probably would not be that great!

This is the difference between genius and hard work!

Speaking of the math genius Wei Dongyi, you said that no one can teach him now. Did he rely on a teacher to teach him?

Other people have their Ren and Du meridians opened when they are born; you can’t learn it from them!

Cai Hemin reorganized the troops. In addition to forming a new reinforced company for assault, the other 1850 guns were evenly distributed among the companies.

Basically each company can have ten new rifles.

In this era, this firepower is considered acceptable.

The key is that more will be shipped in the future. I heard that Zhang Zhidong has increased the production. It probably won’t be too long before every soldier will have a new rifle!

It’s exciting to think about it!

As for how to use those mines, Cai Hemin has not made up his mind yet!

He is preparing to fight a battle in the next few days.

It is now the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, five days after the beginning of winter, and there are obviously fewer merchant ships traveling on the sea than in summer.

In order to store supplies for the winter, the Japanese pirates had looted to a frenzied degree.

It has been such a long time since we landed on the island. It would be unreasonable if we haven't fought a battle yet.

Where will this battle be fought?

According to reports from scouts in recent days, the Japanese pirates already know that the Qing army has arrived at Busan Port.

They also knew their own character and did not dare to touch the tiger's whiskers easily, so they ran away to plunder elsewhere.

Just the day before yesterday, a town about two hundred miles north of Busan Port was robbed by Japanese pirates.
