I heard Han Ziping say that Long Chen's archery skills were good. When he was in Qianjiang County, he could kill a pirate from a long distance with one arrow.
The veterans all know this, but the recruits have never seen it. They don't believe that an arrow can pierce the throat from such a long distance against the southeast wind.
The flight speed of bows and arrows is not fast, and people are always moving. Coupled with the influence of wind, it is almost impossible to accurately shoot through the enemy's throat from a long distance.
"Okay, let me show you the archery skills."
Long Chen got off the horse.
Han Ziping immediately asked the soldiers to set up a target in the distance and brought the hardest bow over.
"grown ups."
Long Chen took the bow and shot an arrow at the target.
Whoosh!
The arrow hit the bull's-eye.
The sergeant cheered and shouted: "General, a sharpshooter!"
Long Chen shook his head and smiled: "The target is dead, but the enemy is alive. On the battlefield, the enemy will not stand still and act as a target for you."
"When practicing archery, the most basic thing is to practice with a moving target. The target must be moving."
"The target should not be nailed to the pillar, but should be hung on the beam and shaken. Only in this way can it be useful after practicing."
A soldier asked: "But General, how do you shoot at a moving target?"
Another soldier also asked: "We can't calculate whether the moving target can be hit when the arrow falls."
Long Chen said: "Yes, you are right to ask. On the battlefield, the enemy is moving, and there is still wind on the battlefield, so how can we shoot?"
"We must be familiar with our bow, how far it can shoot and how fast it can shoot. Then we must calculate the impact of wind on the arrows and predict the enemy's trajectory. Only by understanding these things can we become a marksman."
The soldiers shook their heads when they heard this. This was too difficult for them.
Dugu Jiali also said: "General, this requirement is too high, even I have a hard time meeting it."
Long Chen said: "It's hard to come back. You must train according to this standard. If you succeed in learning, you will succeed in the middle. If you succeed in learning, you will succeed in the lower level. If you fail in learning, you will achieve nothing."
"We must train the army to the highest standards so that we can develop an elite army that can conquer the world."
"Remember, you will conquer the world with me in the future. Once you are done, you will become a general and a marquis!"
Long Chen's words made the soldiers' blood boil.
Dugu Jiali, Zhang Qian and the other generals were a little surprised. They originally thought that Long Chen just wanted to train an army to replace Jing Tianlie.
Unexpectedly, Long Chen's goal was to conquer the world.
Bai Tingting's eyes shone when she heard this, and her little expression was particularly rich.
Zhang Qian's face was a little complicated, and she heard something unusual from Long Chen's words.
She eats and sleeps with Long Chen every day, and can guess some of Long Chen's thoughts.
Logically speaking, as the bodyguard sent by Di Luoxi, she should report her concerns to Di Luoxi.
But she also liked Long Chen. If Long Chen wasn't a eunuch, the two would have been husband and wife long ago.
So Zhang Qian deliberately ignored some information. When Long Chen met Wu Jian and Feng He, she also deliberately avoided listening to it.
At this time, a soldier asked: "General, can you do it?"
After this question, the scene suddenly became quiet. Some people looked at him with the expression "This guy is really ignorant." Others looked at Long Chen with the same suspicion.
Han Ziping said quickly: "The general can definitely do it."
A gust of wind blew through the military camp, and everyone was quiet.
Suddenly, a soldier looked up and shouted: "Look! Peregrine Falcon!"
When everyone looked up, they saw an eagle hovering in the sky, and behind them, a peregrine falcon was swooping down at extremely fast speeds.
The sun was shining brightly, and the peregrine falcon and eagle were under the halo, making it difficult for most people to see clearly.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes, then picked up two feather arrows, looked at the sky and fired the two arrows.
Everyone was watching the peregrine falcon's sneak attack. The circling eagle suddenly realized the danger. It suddenly turned around in the air and grabbed the peregrine falcon with its sharp claws. The peregrine falcon did not dare to be aggressive and suddenly spread its wings to escape.
At this moment, two feather arrows flew and hit the peregrine falcon and the eagle.
"Good archery skills!"
The soldiers burst into cheers.
Peregrine falcons and eagles fell from the sky, and soldiers picked them up and brought them over.
"The general is good at archery!"
"The peregrine falcon flies the fastest, and the general can actually shoot it."
"Two arrows fired in succession, the general is good at archery!"
No one dared to question Long Chen's archery skills anymore.
Long Chen raised his stiff bow and said: "Remember my words, you are not big soldiers, you are heroes who want to follow me to conquer the world! You are heroes who want to be crowned as marquises and honor their ancestors!"
The soldiers' blood boiled when they heard this, and they shouted: "General, mighty! General, mighty! General, mighty!"
After leaving Gongnu Camp, Bai Tingting praised: "You are so good at deceiving people."
Long Chen said with disdain: "This is called inspiring people, not deceiving people. If you don't study, you have no culture."
Bai Tingting complained: "Isn't that just asking people to work for you?"
Long Chen did not continue this topic. Bai Tingting was right. Inspiring people and confusing people are actually about the same thing.
Long Chen then looked at Wu Chuchu sisters' infantry camp and Wu Jian's cavalry camp. Long Chen taught some techniques of infantry and horse fighting, and made another conversation, which made everyone's blood boil.
After leaving the military camp, Long Chen rode to the Ministry of Industry.
....
Fengming Palace.
Yingfeng entered the imperial study, and the empress was still reading the Art of War written by Long Chen.
"Your Majesty, Long Chen went to the military camp just now."
The empress put down the book of war and asked, "What next?"
Yingfeng said: "What Long Chen said... I'm afraid it has some deep meaning."
The empress asked with great interest: "What did you say?"
Yingfeng replied in a deep voice: "He said that the generals would follow him to conquer the world and worship the generals as marquises."
It's no problem to conquer the world. Only the emperor can say that he will become a general and a marquis.
What Long Chen said was obviously against the rules.
Yingfeng thought the empress would be angry, but the empress smiled and said, "It's good to be ambitious."
"I heard that Wu Jian is responsible for training the soldiers of the South Camp, and they use the military regulations of the Long Family Army."
Yingfeng replied: "Exactly."
The empress smiled and said: "Isn't this great? Rebuilding a Long family army for my use."
Yingfeng said worriedly: "Long Chen has rebuilt to the peak of the king in two years, and this time he killed Wu Ming. Wei Chen suspects that he may have broken through to the Martial Emperor realm long ago. If the Long family army is rebuilt, it may be uncontrollable."
Both Yingfeng and the Empress knew Long Chen's true identity, and Yingfeng knew that the Empress wanted to take advantage of Long Chen.
But the prerequisite for using a person is that the person can be firmly controlled. If he cannot be controlled, he will be counterattacked.
The empress smiled and said: "You are overthinking, everything is within my expectation."
Yingfeng saw that the empress was really not worried, so she didn't say anything more.
The Empress is the only one in the Emperor Realm, with a transcendent status. Even if Long Chen reaches the Martial Emperor Realm, he will not be able to make big waves.
"The food, wages and weapons he wants will be given to the best. I am looking forward to the Long Family Army he will rebuild."
Yingfeng bowed and said, "I obey your order."
....
When Long Chen arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu Xu Ming hurried out to greet him.
"Congratulations to Xu Shangshu."
Long Chen smiled and cupped his hands.
Xu Ming is a good person and a hard worker.
"Master Long, don't hurt me, please."
Xu Ming welcomed Long Chen into the back office. When officials from the Ministry of Industry heard that Long Chen was coming, they all came to pay their respects.
In the past, the Ministry of Works was just a construction site, but it was Long Chen who made the Ministry of Works the head of the six departments. The salary of the officials here is twice as much as that of other yamen.
Therefore, even if Long Chen removes his position as Minister, everyone still respects him.
"Sir, what are you doing here today?"
Xu Ming personally poured tea for Long Chen.
Long Chen smiled and said, "Can't I come and see you if you have nothing to do?"
