When he came closer, Liu Haojia said loudly: "Your Majesty! Think about it, has anyone moved since they stood here?"
Emperor Wanli and everyone were surprised to find that they really didn't see any sign of anyone moving! It seems that these originally living people all turned into puppets when they came here! After discovering this, everyone couldn't help but marvel!
Then everyone came to the square formation, but Liu Haojia did not lead them in a straight line, but led everyone in a circle around the square formation! When they bypassed the first phalanx, no one felt anything. When they bypassed the second phalanx, Emperor Wanli, who was sitting high up, was the first to notice the clue!
He suddenly sat up straight and pointed at the phalanx and said loudly: "I understand! I understand what Aiqing wants me to see? These soldiers are in the same line regardless of whether they are horizontal or vertical, and even the angle at which the weapons are held seems to be the same. Same! No, everything on them is a line!
After hearing Emperor Wanli's words, everyone looked according to their own angles, and sure enough they found that the soldiers in every row and column of each square formation were as neat as a knife and an axe! Even the soldiers leaning sideways are in a straight line! You can see directly from the upper right corner of the square to the lower left corner!
At this time, not only Emperor Wanli was surprised, but the noise among the ministers became louder! But Zhang Juzheng and others' faces were as pale as water! This is because Zhang Juzheng and other elders confirmed that this army was very strong and capable of overturning the table, so they became depressed!
And Qi Jiguang was smiling! It's because he discovered that there is a powerful army in the world! In this way, the safety of Ming Dynasty is sufficiently guaranteed! Especially since he originally thought he was the top daimyo in the art of war, but he found a new person to learn from! The thought of discussing with Liu Haojia how to train troops made him feel itchy!
In this way, Liu Haojia led everyone to walk around all the square formations, very proud! Especially when he looked at the gloomy faces of Zhang Juzheng and others, he felt as comfortable as drinking a glass of ice water on a hot day! This is naturally because Zhang Juzheng put too much pressure on him! Now that I have the capital to trade with him, I naturally want to be more bold!
However, he did not forget about business. He said to the jubilant Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, I have built a high platform outside the camp. Then you and other ministers can go up to the high platform to enjoy the exercise! But before that, your Majesty, please watch it." Fire blunderbuss, artillery shooting, this is good for understanding the drill!"
When Emperor Wanli heard this, he said impatiently: "What's so interesting about shooting with a fire blunderbuss? It's not like I've never seen one before. I've even used a bird blunderbuss to hit a bird, but it's a pity that I missed!"
Liu Haojia explained: "Your Majesty, the fire cannons used by my subordinates are very different from the bird cannons! The fire cannons used by my soldiers have thick tubes, heavy lead bullets, and are much more lethal than the bird cannons!"
Emperor Wanli could only say: "Okay then, let me see how powerful your new fire gun is?"
Liu Haojia was relieved when he heard this answer! He has always wanted to promote new firearms in the Ming army, but everyone thought that his fire blunderbuss was no different from bird blunderbuss and did not use it! In the end, we can only promote it in our own army! He just wanted to use this opportunity to promote the Fire Gun!
Liu Haojia led everyone back to the general station again. They inspected the targets that were about to be used in the audience. They were a batch of wooden dummies! And half of these dummies are wearing iron armor, and the other half are wearing leather armor! Not to mention anything else, these two things alone are already worth a lot of money! Everyone felt that Liu Haojia had spent a lot of money for this exercise!
Although Qi Jiguang didn't say anything, he felt a little disdainful when he saw the dummy wearing iron armor! Because in his memory, he had never heard of this kind of standard armor being penetrated by a firecracker from a long distance! If a soldier in armor is hit by a cannon, he will be able to get up quickly and fight again!
After the soldiers sent the dummy to be fixed, after everyone came on stage, another soldier came up with a tray and brought a lot of copper pipes! Just when many people didn't know what the copper pipe was, Emperor Wanli had already said loudly: "It's a telescope! This is a good thing! I originally thought that the target was too far away from the general platform to see clearly, but now I have You can see clearly with a telescope!"
Then the curious Qi Jiguang Laser was also assigned a telescope! He didn't know what it was, so he didn't use it rashly! He saw Emperor Wanli put his thin end in front of his eyes and understood the reason. He also imitated Emperor Wanli and put the telescope in front of his eyes!
This moment made him tremble! The dummy more than two hundred steps away seemed to be right in front of me! He could even clearly see the appearance of the soldier who was fixing the dummy! This couldn't help but make him extremely excited!
At this time, he heard Liu Haojia whisper in his ear: "Master Qi, this telescope can also be adjusted by telescopically! And this thing may also be of great use on the side wall, right?"
Qi Jiguang responded in a low voice: "This is natural! The terrain outside the side wall is flat, and you can dig very far without a telescope. If you have a telescope, you can see more clearly, and you can anticipate the enemy! But I don't know... …”
Liu Haojia immediately whispered: "When I go back, someone will send a batch of items to you! It's just that the output of this item is still low, so I can't give you too much! In addition, we must not fall into the hands of the Tatars!"
Qi Jiguang was overjoyed when he heard this, and naturally agreed immediately! At this moment, he was full of affection for the young Marquis in front of him! If Zhang Juzheng hadn't been kind to him, he would have even thought of taking refuge in this young marquis for a moment!
Just when he was about to say a few words of gratitude, he heard a sharp whistle coming from below the high platform! Everyone looked down and found that three rows of gun soldiers had gathered below, about two hundred people!
They quickly stood up in three rows under the command of the officer, then began to check their equipment and muskets, and put their bayonets back into their scabbards! After everyone had finished checking, the soldiers stood with their firecrackers erect beside them! Then Liu Haojia waved to the officer to indicate that he could start shooting!
The officer immediately shouted: "Gun!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately picked up the muskets placed by their legs! Put the butt of the gun on your shoulder and aim forward! During this period, everyone's movements were almost the same, and there was a hint of elegance in the smoothness! It can be seen that this movement is too slow. I have done it countless times and I am very skilled!
The officer then yelled, "Shoot!"
