From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 817 What Did You Say Last Night?

The training of the new army is not so easy, it must start with the popularization of knowledge.

Gunpowder is a completely new thing to people in this world, and they have never been exposed to it.

For gunpowder guns and artillery, they don't know what kind of weapons they are and how powerful they are.

That's why Long Chen showed them the power of gunpowder on the first day of assembly.

In the subsequent training, the shooters from Linglong Pavilion explained the use of flintlock guns and explosives, especially safety issues.

The gunpowder must never see sparks, otherwise it will not kill others, but yourself.

Standing on the platform, Long Chen looked at the female soldiers surrounded by the audience, thinking about how to speed up the process.

"They're curious."

Dugu Linglong walked over, looked at the female soldier and said.

Long Chen smiled and said: "You were the same back then, you didn't understand anything, learning new weapons requires a process, there is no rush."

Long Chen thought about it carefully, haste makes waste, he cannot forcibly speed up the training speed.

The quality of soldiers trained in this way is not enough.

I would rather spend more time training my troops, and wait until all the training is done, so that I can become famous in the first battle.

"That's something that I didn't know you tinkered with before."

"The iron bullets fired from muskets are invisible and invisible, and the armor in the army is easily broken. The day you train such an army is the time when you are invincible."

Gongsun Linglong looked expectantly at the female soldiers who were surrounding the coach asking questions.

Long Chen shook his head and laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, the purity and power of gunpowder are limited, invincibility is impossible."

Long Chen improved the production process of gunpowder, and also carried out granulation treatment, but the power has reached the limit.

Long Chen thought about going one step further and creating bullets.

But this matter is too complicated, and the casting technology of this world is simply not up to it.

Of course, Long Chen can do it step by step, starting from basic things like lathes and milling machines, but this process will take more than ten years, or even decades, and Long Chen has no patience for this.

"Such a powerful weapon is invincible enough."

Gongsun Linglong continued confidently: "When guns and gunpowder appear, Xixia will definitely be startled."

"Don't forget that we still have something. With cannonballs, those city walls are like paper."

"Besides, I always feel that if you use a flintlock gun to focus fire, the Martial Emperor's master will die!"

The firing speed of iron bullets is very fast, much faster than that of crossbows.

The speed of the crossbow, the fastest is about 120 meters per second.

Iron bullets are different, much faster.

The most important thing is that the iron bullet is invisible. If it is set on fire, it will definitely be shot.

"How about we try it? You are a master of the Martial Emperor."

Gongsun Linglong looked at Long Chen with a smile.

Long Chen's face darkened, and he said unhappily: "You want to murder your husband! Take me as a target test, have you played enough? You don't want to at night anymore?"

Gongsun Linglong blushed and spat: "Shameless! Whenever I want to live, you forced me!"

Long Chen said with a smile: "You speak so heartlessly, your love is so deep, you can't wait to tie me to you."

"Like last night, I told you to let go, or you will bear the consequences."

"How are you, remember what you said?"

Gongsun Linglong recalled with a red face, but couldn't remember what she said.

At that time, the brain entered a state of confusion, and everything was done and spoken by instinct.

"What did I say?"

Gongsun Linglong asked tentatively.

Long Chen pressed close to Gongsun Linglong's ear and said: "You said..."

Gongsun Linglong's neck was red with embarrassment, and she cursed in a low voice: "I didn't say that, you wronged me!"

"What's inside is inside, how could I say such a thing!"

"If you dare to slander me in the future, my sister will kill you!"

Long Chen chuckled and said, "Killed me? Didn't you say bite me just now?"

Gongsun Linglong knew that she couldn't slander Long Chen, so she turned her head and walked into the training ground, explaining the use of weapons to the recruits in person.

Long Chen entered the Chinese army tent to rest.

It is said to be the big tent of the Chinese army, but it is actually a house. This house was originally the residence for logistics supplies.

The training slowly unfolded, and the recruits gradually became familiar with the use of the flintlock.

...

Fengming Palace.

Di Wan'er was holding a tray with the minister's memorials on it.

Steadily walking into the imperial study room, the empress was talking to Yingfeng.

"The things in the Linglong Pavilion must be well secured, and all should be handled by the shadow guards, and no information should be leaked."

The empress is instructing Yingfeng to do a good job of logistical support for Long Chen, and to supply all the people, property and property in full.

"Wei Chen knows that a batch of supplies was just sent there yesterday."

Yingfeng cares about Long Chen very much, she will send the best things to her even without the empress' orders.

The empress asked: "Have you checked the progress of the training? How is it?"

Yingfeng replied: "The progress is going well, Linglong said that the recruits have already started shooting live ammunition."

The empress nodded and said, "It's going to snow soon, so send another batch of supplies to keep out the cold."

"The Long family army at Jade Buddha Pass, have their cold clothes been delivered yet?"

Yingfeng replied: "It's delivered, it will be ready in late autumn."

Di Wan'er gently put down the memorial.

"Okay, it's all right."

The empress picked up the memorial and began to review it.

Yingfeng withdrew from the imperial study, leaving Di Wan'er to serve in the room.

...

Zhenguo Temple.

Monk Kong Ji was wearing thick monk clothes, leather boots on his feet, and a monk's hat on his head. He walked up to the top of the Zhenguo Temple and overlooked the Jade Buddha Pass in the east.

The cold wind howled overnight, and the first snow fell on Zhenguo Temple.

Yellow walls and red tiles are covered by heavy white snow.

The surrounding withered and yellow land was also covered with a layer of white, making it look less barren.

Kong Ji stood on the top of the snow-covered mountain, his red cassock swaying in the wind, looking extraordinarily bright.

Behind him, Deshan came up with one foot shallow and one foot shallow, and stood beside Kong Ji.

The snow did not reach the ankles.

"There is no movement in the Jade Buddha Pass, Long Chengen has been hiding in the capital and cannot come out."

"Brother, do you think this dead eunuch is talking nonsense on purpose?"

Deshan kept staring at the Jade Buddha Pass, fearing that Long Chen would make a sudden attack.

Just like last time, they didn't even know Long Chen arrived at Jade Buddha Pass.

Shi Ming, who rushed into the rear, was caught off guard by Long Chen, and was beheaded before the battle.

Therefore, Deshan sent people to keep an eye on him all the time, but he didn't find any trace of Long Chen.

"It's absolutely impossible to bluff. He said that he wanted to destroy my Great Xia, and openly said that he would use Great Xia as a betrothal gift. Long Chengen would absolutely attack Great Xia."

"The calm before the storm is the most frightening thing. Long Chengen hasn't made any movement, so he must be suffocating."

"Send someone to sneak into the Jade Buddha Pass to see if there is any movement."

"People from the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty spread out to see if Long Chengen is in the capital and what he is doing in the capital."

Kong Ji is very sure, Long Chen must want to destroy Xi Xia.

Long Chen didn't move, he must be plotting a trick.

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate again."

Deshan glanced at the Jade Buddha Pass, turned around and walked down the mountain, and went back to the temple to make arrangements.

Kong Ji stood on the top of the mountain and stared blankly for a long time.

The dark clouds in the sky were low, and the heavy snow began to fall again. The dark sky seemed to be falling down, the flying snowflakes covered the monk's hat, and the scarlet cassock was also covered with snowflakes.

Kong Ji looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed inwardly, and turned back to Zhenguo Temple.
