Chapter 1587 The two elders of the Buddhist system
As soon as the cannon fired, all the generals from Pei Zilie on down held their breath.
When they saw the target in the distance being torn into pieces, the brief silence on the observation deck turned into a carnival in an instant.
For these generals who were born in the army, they knew very well what an epoch-making weapon like artillery meant. After the Han army went to war, they would have this more powerful weapon to attack fortresses, whether it was the enemy's military formation or
The city walls as tall as Luoyang or Yecheng will be torn apart by the roaring artillery!
Of course, talking about the quantity of artillery produced without money is also a hoax.
The generals quickly turned their attention to Chen Shushen, who was also present.
Chen Shushen coughed in embarrassment. These guys looked at him like a group of gangsters on the street looking at a young lady. Of course, these guys had no interest in him, but they were extremely interested in the money in his hands.
big.
Without funding from the Ministry of Household Affairs, everything is in vain.
Wu Ping, the minister of the Ministry of Industry next to him, added calmly: "As long as the allocation from the Ministry of Household Affairs is sufficient, the workshop's technology is now fully mature, streamlined production, and the quantity can be guaranteed, and at least hundreds of artillery pieces can be delivered within this year.
Door, the extra for the navy is extra."
Chen Shushen's eyes widened immediately. You guys are fanning the flames!
At this time, he subconsciously glanced at the second-floor stage. Li Xingchen was smiling and talking to Xu Ling, the Duke of Xiaomu, who had also been invited to watch the ceremony. It seemed that he had no intention of caring about his brother-in-law's life or death.
Revenge, my brother-in-law must be taking revenge. He was retaliating against himself for acting like a rogue in the past two days. He immediately transferred half of his secretaries and supervisors away.
Before Chen Shushen had time to complain about Li Xinchen's unwillingness to save him, he was already surrounded by red-eyed military generals.
If he doesn't pay today, these guys will stuff him directly into the cannon and shoot him out!
Chen Shushen was besieged, and the officials who came with him from the Ministry of Household Affairs dared to look on and hurriedly stepped forward.
As ministers in the same palace, the two sides naturally could not directly interfere with each other, but everyone was clamoring for funds from the Ministry of Revenue, but Chen Shushen had a headache.
No money, no life, you might as well stuff me into a cannon and shoot me out!
"Your Majesty really doesn't care about Chen Shangshu?" Xu Ling stroked his beard and looked at the commotion of civil and military officials below with interest.
"Young man, you are energetic," Wu Mingche on the other side also looked like he was watching the fun and not taking it too seriously. "But I have to say, this artillery is indeed a deadly weapon. Your Majesty must control it properly."
Since taking charge of the Jinling Military Academy, Wu Mingche, whose physical fitness was not bad to begin with, has become more rosy. Obviously he also likes this kind of military life every day, because these big Han generals from all over the world can not only
It brought him fresh combat examples and each had unique insights based on their own experiences, which surprised Wu Mingche.
He has been busy compiling a new art of war recently, and maybe he can also write a "Wu Zi". If artillery was not an attractive thing, Wu Mingche would definitely be deducing and recalling the war in his study or beside the sand table instead of
will appear here.
It's not a bad thing to come out for some air.
This is especially true for Xu Ling, who has started giving lectures everywhere.
Therefore, these two former mainstays now look very Buddhist and completely aloof from the world.
"Of course I know this in my heart." Li Xingchen nodded slightly. This must be considered first. After the musket came out, the first people to be equipped were the elites who had been in the army for a long time, most of whom had served in the army.
He was a veteran who followed Li Xinchen when he entered Shu. Even the generals in the Musketeers were demoted from elsewhere in order to convince the public.
Artillery is more powerful than muskets, so Li Xingchen must be more careful.
According to the plan formulated by the Taiwei Mansion, the first to install artillery were Li Xinchen's bodyguards and Yu Linqi.
Needless to say, the Yulin Cavalry is Li Xingchen’s trump card. The current Yulin Cavalry has been fully equipped with muskets, and is equipped with a large number of new firearms that have not yet been mass-produced. For example, the "Zhentian Lei" similar to later grenades is of course in the previous
During the Northern Expedition, part of the Zhentian Lei was handed over to Han Qinhu for emergencies. After all, Han Qinhu faced Yang Jian directly, so Li Xingchen was naturally worried that something would go wrong with him. However, Yang Jian's attack was so fast that Han Qinhu didn't know.
How powerful is the Sky Thunder, but in the end I didn't dare to use it.
In addition, the Yulin Cavalry also has "blasting thunder" similar to landmines, etc. In peacetime, the Yulin Cavalry is not so much a special force of the Han Dynasty, but an equipment testing unit. After the firearms they have tried,
After safety is confirmed and defects are corrected, various units will be deployed on a large scale.
Therefore, it is reasonable for the Yulin Cavalry to prioritize the installation of artillery.
In addition to the Yulin Cavalry, bodyguards and soldiers are naturally the best choice.
The bodyguards come from all over the country. By allowing them to install artillery, the bodyguards who come for each shift can quickly become familiar with the performance of the artillery. When these backbones who are drawn from various places return to the army,
, it will naturally be able to help more people learn how to use artillery. In other words, it will treat the guards as a training class.
And whether it is the Yulin Cavalry or the personal bodyguard, being able to guard His Majesty, of course, requires loyalty and bravery, and can minimize any mistakes that may occur when the artillery is used.
Wu Mingche must also know that Li Xinchen will never make any omissions in this kind of matter, but as an old man, it is inevitable that he talks a lot, and Li Xinchen is not angry with him.
He prefers Wu Mingche and Xu Ling to speak to him in an elder tone.
As an elder, if you see something your juniors are not doing well, you will definitely tell them directly. However, if it is a relationship between monarch and minister, then considering the emperor's thoughts, the ministers may not have the courage, especially Xu Ling and Wu Mingche.
But they are not the kind of idiots who always speak out and give advice.
Moreover, the two of them are now more like idle clouds and wild cranes. Even if they really maintain this relationship with Li Xunchen as both teacher and friend, it will not cause any serious harm to the entire court.
"Just now, His Majesty said that he wanted the Queen to come forward and call on women from all over the world to participate in the birth." Although Li Xingchen was not angry because of Wu Mingche's casual thoughts, Xu Ling still changed the topic, "After thinking about it, I felt that there seemed to be some
inappropriate."
Of course Li Xingchen knew that Xu Ling would shake his head.
Let me ask you, I have been taught since childhood that women should stay close to home. Now, if we suddenly ask women to work, who can accept it?
Not to mention men in this era, machismo is ubiquitous.
