Chapter 363 1. Chuyemon's heart

  Wait a few days later, the Netherlands came back in person, saying that it was the hiring of military instructors. They themselves could not directly agree, and they needed to report back to the country. But to return to the country, it is nothing more than Batavia’s East India Company headquarters.

  As far as Japan’s current situation is concerned, it is really possible that there will be conflicts with European and American powers at any time because of foreign transportation and other matters. At this time, sending officers to Japan to train a new army for the shogunate may lead to some unexpected diplomatic disputes.

  The main thing is that the Netherlands cannot do it now, not the "sea coachman" who had thousands of ships of all sizes and galloped across the five oceans back then. Since the Napoleonic Wars, the Netherlands has increasingly relied on the breath of the British. But these years, with the British Empire so strong, even Napoleon went to the ground. The filial son of the United States has just been beaten violently. Who can say no to the British?

  No way, if the Dutch instructors don’t come, the artillery won’t practice?

  Anyway, we have Jiang Chuan Yinglong, the big disciple of Takashima Qiufan, plus the other four disciples, this team will open first. You can't just raise soldiers without training them.

   "I think at the beginning, Lao Tzu's team just opened, a dozen people with seven or eight guns..."

  Tadaemon does not understand the military, but is willing to learn. As a general who actually leads the army, it is necessary to sit on the side of the playground every day and watch the soldiers in front of him be scolded by Hideryu Jiang. If we end up personally, I'm afraid Jiang Chuan Yinglong will be scolded in blood.

  There is one thing to say, because the eight princes and thousands of people are the same as the samurai, their taxes and labor are indeed lower than ordinary real farmers. This is also one of the reasons for the relative prosperity of the local raw silk industry in Hachioji. The people have more time to earn a living for themselves. With money, in addition to building a house and marrying a wife, it is normal to go to the temple house to recognize a word.

  So the literacy rate of the whole team is remarkable. Almost everyone writes their own names, as well as the names of their parents, family, villages, and many villagers in the village. But a little more, it may be more difficult. It’s okay to let them write a simple letter from home, but to write official documents or something, it’s a matter of force.

  But this kind of soldiers who have read books and have a certain degree of cultural literacy can distinguish between the troublesome and dying things of training the new army next door, and I will sort them out for a long time here.

  At least you don’t need straw shoes on the left and cloth shoes on the right, which is a benefit. The Western-style art of war that Jiang Chuan Yinglong and the others learned should still be lined up to be shot at that time. Now it can't be said to be eliminated. It is definitely still usable when used. There is no big problem.

  Soldiers were tall, short and thin, in order of height and appearance. They all stood in the front row, but all the short ones were left behind. Songping Qixuan emphasized the major events, and emphasized it again.

  Military capacity! Military capacity! Still military capacity!

  The tall soldiers lined up in front to be inspected by Tokugawa Ieki, and Matsudaira could not even open his face. The word is really a panacea according to local conditions.

   Once you get started, it’s definitely not even bayonet, artillery, or shooting skills. To put it bluntly, it is to set the rules and practice endurance. There is no need to say more about setting the rules. The other places are talking about the same routines, there is nothing new at all, and Chungemon is annoying to read it. When it comes to training endurance, it also adapts to local conditions, haha.

  According to the plan of Jiangchuan Yinglong, this army is the army that will be going to block the guns of Yingmi ghost animals in the future, and there can be no slack in the slightest.

  So after the initial queue, the daily work is to set the gun positions!

  Different from the artillery positions we saw in later generations, the artillery of this year did not have various equipment to assist in positioning, that is, the artillery was mounted on the artillery carriage. If you fire a cannon, the cannon will go back several meters all the way. On the battlefield, is it possible to measure the firing yuan every time you fire, so in addition to carrying artillery shells, the artillery of this year also needs to be able to dig pits.

  The wheels of the artillery carts are really very big right now. The larger-caliber army artillery has wheels taller than people. For a general three-pounder gun, the wheels can be as small as one meter high, just to facilitate pushing.

  The artillery needs to dig a hole above the preset gun position, and then push the artillery cart into this pit, and a buffer **** is built with the excavated soil behind the pit. Only in this way can it be ensured that the cannon will return to its original position quickly after firing, rather than retreating to several sides all at once.

  This work of digging pits and piling dirt alone is enough for soldiers to study for two months!

   Only now, Jiang Chuan Yinglong didn't teach them how to dig and pile up at all, just let them dig pits and pile up dirt. Fill the soil back the next day and compact it. Dig and pile up soil on the third day. Repeatedly, it is not only to familiarize them with the boring life in the military camp, but also to exercise their skills in digging and mounding soil.

  To tell you the truth, Chuemon cannot endure such suffering. He doesn't know how the other protagonists do it lightly, but we can't bear the hardship, but we have money and money.

  After all the soldiers finished their drills and returned to the barracks, Chungemon ran to take care of them. They were given Chinese traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional Chinese traditional medicine.

  Hot and ask the soldiers to warm up~lightnovelpub.net~Is there enough to eat? I have been training hard today, that is to defend our general in the future. Here, I will put a plaster on you and put on medicated wine.

  If anyone was injured, Chuemon immediately paid for them to hire a doctor. Which team did well during the day, and Chuemon invited them to eat supper.

  Summer is hot and the soldiers rarely take a day off, so let’s ask them to eat shaved ice. The Japanese workplace has such a habit. The boss invites his subordinates to drink and eat, which feels like drawing in favor and uniting the team. In fact, it has become a thing that young people in the workplace hate very much in later life. I don't want to eat the wine you invited, I just want to go home and lie down.

  Fortunately, these years are okay, and the soldiers are very happy to eat, and praise the kindness of the loyal guard. They only thought that the instructor named Jiang Chuan was a rigid little old man, and Chungemon was the talkative one. There was a difficult and anxious one, and all he thought of was Chuemon.

  Tadaemon, who simply doesn’t know how to train soldiers, this is the case. But in their eyes, that is Tadaoemon who is compassionate and caring for the soldiers. During the day, they were digging pits and piles of soil. At night, somehow there was a supper prepared by Chuemon, and they could have a snack from time to time. In these boring days, Chuemon was their white moonlight.

  As long as Chuemon comes, all you get is the smiling faces of the soldiers.
