"Yeah?"
Li Yi smiled half-heartedly, "Since you're not convinced, let's give it a try."
Suoyi scoffed and said: "Your Majesty, the best weapons to kill enemies on the battlefield are strong bows and powerful crossbows, followed by long spears and large spears, and firearms are the last."
Even though he had seen the power of new firearms last time, Suoyi was still not convinced. It was deeply ingrained in his mind that cold weapons were the strongest.
This can't be blamed on Suoyi, even Sun Tingzong, Cao Fengyang and others still sneer at firearms in their hearts.
Even Su Changyu was like this. He chose firearms out of necessity.
If he had a knight who was skilled in bow and horse, he would never know how to use firearms in his life.
Li Yi didn't bother to explain. Facts are good at eloquence. When this dragoon shines on the battlefield, they will understand it completely.
Nowadays, among the entire Gale Dynasty army, only the Beijing Camp has a firearms battalion, and even the Forbidden Army does not have one. Although the soldiers of the border army have firearms battalions, they have been reduced to auxiliaries.
The firearms battalion of Jingying made great achievements in defeating the Dongshan horse bandits last time, but now it is still used to intimidate the enemy, and there is almost no training in normal times.
These generals really cannot view firearms in a positive light like time travelers like Li Yi.
But Li Yi is the emperor, and he says firearms are good, who dares to say no?
Nowadays, he can directly skip the era of volley guns and kill him, and jump directly to volley guns to kill enemies.
"I know that seven of you are dissatisfied with firearms and eight are dissatisfied with them, but I tell you clearly that the future will be dominated by firearms. Even the armored cavalry will gradually be eliminated. Firearms are the king of millions of weapons."
"Watch it, I'll demonstrate it to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yi quickly loaded the projectiles, stuffed them into the paper shells, then aimed at the target in front of him and pulled the trigger.
"Bang" sound.
After the smoke filled the air, the archery target on the opposite side had been torn into pieces, and the pieces fell to the ground.
Li Yi put down the musket and continued to reload while saying, "You all have to remember this for me. I will use this musket to wipe out Yu Nei and rebuild the soul of the Gale Army!"
"promise!"
All the generals bowed.
Today he came to inspect the new army and see the training situation. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Su Changyu unexpectedly formed the strongest army in the future, the Dragoons.
Li Yi looked at the Gale Dynasty that was making continuous progress in his hands, and the haze in his heart was swept away. "It is my decree that no matter which battalion you have, no matter how powerful the bows and arrows are, you must form a firearms cavalry. This It’s a rule.”
Su Changyu, Suoyi and several other generals were stunned and responded helplessly.
"Your Majesty, this is just a conjecture and has not been put into practice. Isn't such a large-scale hunting firearm a bit..."
"No!" Li Yi waved his hand, pressed the paper cartridge case, and fired again, "This is a good suggestion. As for putting it into practice, it's too late. We'll put it into practice on the battlefield."
"But I can tell you clearly that this dragoon is beyond the times."
Seeing this, Su Changyu reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"The Manufacturing Supervision Office and the Ministry of Household Affairs will now put aside all activities at hand and go all out to produce this kind of firearm. Let's start with 50,000 firearms and complete them within ten days."
Li Yi frowned, "Tell Lu Mu, there is no reason, it must be completed. If you are short of iron, buy it. If you are short of workers, say, I am satisfied with everything. I only want the final result."
Su Changyu was completely helpless. He came up with this idea in his spare time. Unexpectedly, His Majesty directly adopted it, which made him a little overwhelmed.
And there are 50,000 pills in one breath, which is quite difficult.
Fortunately, previously produced firearms can be sawed off for use, which greatly shortens the contract period.
But it can be completed within ten days, which is too urgent.
He doesn't know yet that in ten days, Li Yi will do something big.
"I will ask the people from the Ministry of Revenue to carry the reward to your house later." Li Yi said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never give up." Su Changyu was overjoyed. Everyone disliked money, and so did military generals. Many times, the reward for the kindness of more representatives was face.
Li Yi narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "But there is one thing. Within ten days, you must let your subordinates be proficient in shooting for me immediately?"
"I will never disgrace my mission even if I die. If I can't do it within ten days, I will chop off my head and give it to you!" Su Changyu made the promise again, but little did he know that he had already done it.
If you know how to ride a horse and shoot, this is really not difficult.
Different from shooting an arrow, shooting an arrow requires pulling the bow. Even though this simple action is very labor-intensive, and when sitting on a horse, you need to clamp the horse's belly. If you are not careful, you will fall off the horse and get injured. This action is not something that can be done over a long period of time. Training is difficult to complete.
But shooting a gun is different. You can pull the trigger. Whether it is accurate or not is another matter. Just pull the trigger.
It is precisely because of this that Su Changyu dared to boast about Haikou.
One family was really happy and the other was sad. Suoyi touched the big bow on his back and felt a little sour in his heart.
Why is Your Majesty so interested in such a useless thing? He can hold 50,000 of them in one go. How can he stand up to such a strong bow and crossbow?
Suddenly, I felt like I had been left out and fell out of favor.
Li Yi naturally noticed Suo Yi's expression, and then asked: "Suo Yi."
Suoyi lowered his head and said, "I'm here."
"Look, what are the sons under General Su Changyu like?"
Suo Yi raised his head and looked at Li Yi, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being blunt, and Mr. Su, please forgive me."
"But it doesn't matter!" Li Yida said.
Su Changyu also nodded and smiled.
"Shrimp soldiers and crab generals are vulnerable to attack!"
As his words fell to the ground, Su Changyu's face turned livid.
Although Su Changyu comes from a Confucian background and is generous and uninhibited, after all, they are all people close to His Majesty. The key is that their personal relationship is not bad. What you said is too much!
What does it mean to be vulnerable? Isn’t this humiliating?
And your whole family is full of giant crabs.
Su Changyu only felt that Suoyi was deliberately embarrassing himself.
Li Yi saw the expressions of the two people and sneered secretly, "Oh, tell me a reason, why do you say you are vulnerable?"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to compete with General Su, and I will see the real results!"
Su Changyu was not a pushover. Although he knew that Suoyi was highly skilled in martial arts, he did not flinch. "Your Majesty, I also want to try my fists with General Suoyi."
Li Yi has already begun to enjoy himself secretly. Okay, great, this is what he wants!
The two armies competed with each other. No one was convinced by the other, and no one was afraid of the other!
The two sides battled wits and courage, and the more they fought, the more fierce they became, and the more they fought, the stronger they became!
However, Cao Qingyan was worried and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Both of you are the commanders of the Gale Dynasty. How could it be such a childish thing? If word spread, it would make people laugh."
"What a joke, military competitions have been around since ancient times!" Li Yi didn't care.
"Your Majesty, I want to compete with General Su!"
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to fight!"
Li Yi clapped his hands and said, "That's right!"
Cao Qingyan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, we are all brothers in the same robe. How can we fight bravely and fiercely? I'm afraid it will damage the harmony!"
"It doesn't matter, brothers in the same robe can learn from each other, no problem." Li Yi wished that the two of them would fight. They are brothers, so they have to fight. The harder they hit, the more fierce they are, the stronger their relationship becomes.
This is also the rule in the military.
However, Li Yi added: "You two are generals leading troops, so there is no point in taking action. You two don't have to charge into battle, so why not let your brothers compare with each other and tell the difference."
"But there is one thing. The loser will have no meat in these ten days. The winner will receive a bonus of a hundred taels of silver and a thousand catties of meat."
After hearing this, not only Suo Yi and Su Changyu were eager to try, but also the soldiers under their command began to get ready to take action.
Li Yi could no longer hide the smile on his face, "Okay, but there is one thing. We fight each other on weekdays. If anyone stumbles behind your back on the battlefield, don't blame me for being ruthless and ruthless."
"Promise, I obey your order!" All the soldiers bowed their heads.
Cao Qingyan stood aside, sweating profusely. How could your Majesty lead the troops like this?
It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!
But if His Majesty wants to play like this, who dares to say no?
The first round is a test array.
There were more than a dozen men from each side, arrayed against the enemy with wooden spears. The wooden spear heads were stained with white lime powder. In the end, whoever had the fewest white spots on his body would win.
In the first game, it was obvious that Li Yi favored Suo Yi. All the soldiers Suo Yi led today were highly skilled in martial arts. On the other hand, Su Changyu only had farm men who had just been recruited.
The two are not of the same weight at all.
Before it even started, Suo Yi looked confident of winning, clasped his fists at Su Changyu and said, "General Su, I accept the concession!"
Su Changyu said proudly: "The number of winners and losers is still between five and five."
"Then let's wait and see!" Suoyi smiled, confidently.
People from both sides appeared.
