Soon the British Dukes Zhang Fu and Zhu Di, who knew military matters, were shocked.
Not only did the troops march like a forest as required by Sun Tzu's Art of War, but the artillery fire could actually extend.
It continues to extend along the direction of the army's advance, which means that the artillery fire is very accurate to help the charging troops clear out the enemy.
The troops were following the artillery fire, which meant disaster for the enemy and even more accurate artillery fire.
how did you do that?
The shock source is far from over. I saw that the team that was slowly pressing against the enemy suddenly stopped.
"Three breaths, get ready..." the leader shouted. Then the whistle sounded.
I saw these people untying an iron knot from their waists and cutting off a section of the match rope on the iron knot. After lighting it, throw it as hard as you can.
Row after row, those iron lumps made a loud cracking sound after falling to the ground.
With the sound of explosions, the straw men were blown to pieces and scattered all over the ground. After successive throws, a violent explosion area was formed in front of the team.
"What is this? It's a bit like thunder, but it's thrown by hand." Zhu Di was shocked.
"Your Majesty, this is a cast-iron grenade. You can adjust the length of the match rope according to the distance of the enemy. After the explosion, the broken iron is like a powerful crossbow." Eunuch Wang Timur introduced to Zhu Di.
I took a physical object, slightly larger than my fist, with uneven surfaces.
"Artillery fire, muskets, and this thing, they rush forward, are there any enemies left?" Zhu Di asked.
He suddenly realized that the way war might be fought was about to change. Personal bravery is of no use in the face of such weapons.
"Destroy the enemy within range, Mr. Xu repeatedly emphasized this sentence. People are worth more than weapons."
The sedan was carried, and Wang Timur reciprocated Xu Qin's opportunity to show his face.
After three thousand people rushed into the set battlefield, there were no more targets, but they still conducted symbolic drills.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu originally designed a mandarin duck formation, but we didn't have time to practice it, so we can't practice it today."
Zheng He took out a code of conduct and showed it to Zhu Di. Naturally, Zhu Di also had a copy of this code of conduct. He looked at it pretendingly.
"These things are just a slap in the face to kill a chicken in a small Western country. The Yuanyang Formation is just right for you. Just train slowly by yourself."
Xu Qin yawned and spoke at this time.
Yuanyang Formation, Qi Jiguang's famous formation, is specially used to deal with Japanese pirates, but it can also be used to fight others.
"Liu Sheng, the firearms camp is also ready to start." Zhu Di said lightly.
Liu Sheng and the four Qianhu's expressions were all ugly, and an expert would know if there was one as soon as he stretched out his hand.
When the firearms camp encountered Zheng He's 3,000 men, they could only be beaten passively. Firearms and fighting styles are so different.
Zheng He's team has been training, but Liu Sheng's team has not trained and just performed normally. So it's a little unfair to him.
But the battlefield will not tell you whether it is fair or not, and the enemy will not give you a fair chance.
Liu Sheng had no choice but to give an order and start the drill according to the traditional method. It's not that my subordinates didn't work hard. On the contrary, everyone put in a lot of effort today, both above and below.
But Zheng He's team was in front, and their drill made Zhu Di yawn. In the end, he directly studied with Xu Qin how to adjust the shooting angle of the cannon.
In fact, it is very simple, just do the experiment and keep stuffing wedge-shaped wooden blocks under the cannon.
No matter how thick the wood is, how far it can hit, a skilled gunner will naturally make corrections based on the speed of his team and the enemy's position.
British Duke Zhang Fu looked at Liu Sheng and the others with a cold face as they continued to practice hard.
But His Majesty has completely lost interest.
He pulled Xu Qin's sleeve.
"What's going on? How can we treat them differently?" Zhang Fu asked.
"He won't let me touch the training. What can I do? I've already given him the training code. He blames me for not practicing." Xu Qin said helplessly.
"So, what about weapons? At least give them the same weapons." After Zhang Fu said this, he understood without Xu Qin having to say anything.
Practicing with unfamiliar weapons is courting death.
"Liu Sheng is incompetent." Zhang Fu stamped his feet angrily. Liu Sheng is good at everything, but he is proud and underestimates the enemy, and he will die sooner or later.
"He is not incompetent, he is too proud and looks down on everyone. Whether it is his enemies or his own people." Zhu Di said coldly.
Zhang Fu knew that it was over, and Liu Sheng's career of more than ten years was over. I have given His Majesty the impression that he is not worthy of his responsibilities. What will he do in the future?
Subconsciously asking Xu Qin for help, Xu Qin raised his eyes to the sky. I am not his father, and I have no interest in repaying kindness with kindness.
Soon Liu Sheng came back sweating profusely. His drill Zhu Di knew with closed eyes that it was nothing more than artillery blasting first, then firecrackers, and then cavalry charging.
"Liu Sheng, what do you think of your performance?" Zhu Di asked, putting down the gun with a bayonet in his hand.
Liu Sheng's throat moved.
"I don't have Master Zheng's firearms, so I can't practice the new tactics. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Liu Sheng whispered, and he found a reason for himself that he didn't even believe. By the way, Xu Qin was also blamed.
"Xu Qin, why don't you provide the Shenji Camp with the same firearms?" Zhu Di turned around and asked Xu Qin.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng's team used wooden sticks for training at the beginning, and firearms were only introduced in the past few days. If General Liu feels that there is a problem with the weapons, he can equip them and rehearse again."
Xu Qin was afraid that Liu Sheng would not die, so he immediately agreed to give him weapons.
If you want weapons, I can give them to you right now. Let Zheng He's team lend you these things. Do you dare to use them?
"Okay, Zheng He, ask your people to give the weapons to the Shenji Battalion. Liu Sheng, do you dare to do it again?"
Zhu Di asked.
Zheng He didn't move because he knew Liu Sheng wouldn't have any use for it.
"How dare you?" Zhu Di asked sharply.
"Chen...chen..." Liu Sheng didn't know how to answer.
"Why can Zheng He's team practice with wooden sticks, but the Shenji camp cannot? Answer me?" Zhu Di was angry.
He relied on him as an arm in the Shenji Camp, and the result was like this. Now he couldn't bear to let Zheng He and the others leave, and he planned to send the Shenji Battalion out.
Leave Zheng He's team behind, what an elite team they are.
Liu Sheng remembered what he said a few days ago when he laughed at Zheng He and mocked this team as monkey tricks.
He laughed at Xu Qin for not even having all his hair.
As a result, today all these humiliations have returned to me.
Facing Zhu Di's angry questions, he could not answer.
"I know that I am guilty, please give me two months, no, one month, your majesty..."
Liu Sheng said tremblingly.
"Hmph, I believed you. But you disappointed me so much. I dismissed you and went home to reflect. From now on, Xu Qin will temporarily act as the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion."
Zhu Di gave an order.
Xu Qin was yawning and almost choked to death.
"Your Majesty, you can't say this when you are angry. Mr. Liu has done a good job. Give him another chance. I am willing to cooperate fully."
Xu Qin quickly said, I'm damn ready to go home and sleep with the maid, so what's going on with you adding another trap to me?
Even if you let the donkey grind, you should take a breath.
"If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, believe it or not, I will stuff you into a cannon and shoot you out." Zhu Di said angrily.
Zheng He couldn't hold back his laughter and turned around to look at the scenery. When His Majesty meets the Young Master, he never behaves seriously.
Xu Qin looked at Liu Sheng pitifully and told him with his eyes, please try harder. When His Majesty is angry, just say soft words and let him go.
Liu Sheng looked at him as if he was the enemy who killed his father and was irreconcilable.
Liu Sheng was blind to what Zhu Di was really angry about. He naturally knew that Xu Qin gave him the code of conduct every time.
But this unsatisfactory one was actually burned. That was such an important thing, but it was burned.
It was a secret biography of the Xu family, and only Xu Qin, who didn't know the details, could show it. Otherwise, if it had been someone else, they could only tell it orally and would never be able to explain it so clearly.
Finally, Zhu Di ordered that Zheng He's 1,000 men be exchanged with 1,000 men from the Shenji Battalion. Xu Qin will strengthen the Shenji Camp training from now on.
This made Xu Qin relieved. With these thousand people in hand, he could finally relax.
Xu Qin looked sad, but little did he know that when the imperial edict arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion, the entire mansion fell into a sea of joy.
Duke Xu Huizu of Wei State was walking around the mansion and saw a maid pouring tea. The tea was so good, I rewarded him.
When I see a cook killing a chicken, I will be rewarded for his sharp knife skills.
I saw the groom sleeping lazily, and I admired his elegant posture.
In the end, he simply gave all the servants an extra two months' monthly allowance, and then he and Xu Miaojin sat in the garden to enjoy the snow.
It’s all melted away, but there’s still snow.
"Brother, I know you are happy, but there is no reward here." Xu Miaojin was busy selling women's underwear.
This item was said by Xu Qin to be a holy item in the boudoir and a treasure to be cherished.
The members and students of the Star Building alone kept her busy. Nowadays, there are more and more door-to-door customizations.
"My son is now the deputy general of the Shenji Battalion, which is one of the three major battalions and the most important in the capital." Xu Huizu said with emotion.
Even during the Jingnan Campaign, he never received such trust. He also had to admit that Zhu Di was much better than Zhu Yunwen.
"It's useless. I can't even hug my maid when I go home. But I'm exhausted, and you still have time to enjoy the snow here."
Xu Qin didn't know when he came back.
Xu Huizu was very happy looking at his son who had become much darker. He seems to have grown a little taller and stronger.
"My son is strong." Xu Huizu said with emotion.
"How can I not be strong? I swing a sledgehammer every day. Hurry up and ask the cook to prepare hot pot." Xu Qin said angrily.
"Vegetables are growing in your greenhouse. I've written a note to thank you. You can pick some vegetables and send them to the palace."
Xu Huizu said.
"You don't know how to poison vegetables, father, why are you so active?" Xu Qin seriously doubted Xu Huizu's intentions.
"Nonsense. Although you can't be said to be an important minister now, you are still very important. The way of a monarch and his ministers still needs to be taught."
Xu Huizu said. He thought of the relationship between his father, King Zhongshan, and Taizu Zhu Di.
Xu Qin was helpless. Instead of waiting for the chairman to snatch it, he scolded himself after finishing it. It's better to take the initiative yourself.
Do you have to give confession to robbers these days?
