Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 359 Fiery Hope

In Shenji Camp, all the generals looked at the strange stick in Su Cheng's hand curiously. What is it for?

"As soon as the cannon came out, it was praised by His Majesty and the world. The cannon is indeed powerful, but it is too bulky, so what I value most is not the cannon, but this, the musket!" Su Cheng said with a smile.

Musket?This is the musket that the general has been talking about, and they looked at it curiously.

"General, there is no gun head!"

In their thinking, isn't a musket just a long gun with a burning flame at the tip?But can it do without the gun head?

Just like a fire stick, do you stab people with a stick when you go to the battlefield?

"This is a firearm! It's a miniature version of a cannon! It's similar to a bow and arrow, but it has a longer range than a bow and arrow. It has more than 100 steps and is much more powerful than a bow and arrow." Su Cheng explained with some amusement.

A smaller version of the cannon?With a range of more than 100 steps?

All the generals couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, more than 100 steps?

The shooting range of bows and arrows varies from person to person, mainly depending on the strength of the arm. A sharpshooter in the army can take [-] or even [-] steps.

But the range of most archers is only seventy or eighty steps.

The range of the musket can reach more than 100 steps?

"You mean that our Shenji Battalion just hides behind and fires a few shots? Then we will never make any great contribution on the battlefield! The musket is the killer weapon of our Shenji Battalion!" Su Cheng laughed.

All the generals nodded when they heard this. With muskets that can shoot farther than bows and arrows, coupled with cannons, the strength of their Shenji Battalion has been enhanced by more than one level!

Originally, they had doubts about the general's determination to build the world's most powerful soldier, but now they no longer doubt it.

With powerful cannons and muskets that can shoot farther than bows and arrows, if you don't want to become the best soldier in the world, then you are too ambitious!

"Did you think that the hard training queue was of little use before? That's why you complained very much." Su Cheng asked with a half-smile.

The generals were startled when they heard this, but they calmed down when they saw that the general didn't seem angry.

Lieutenant Xu Zhiyuan said with a silly smile: "I was really puzzled at the beginning, but after the training, the generals also discovered that although the general's military training method is strict, it can strengthen the obedience of the soldiers and enhance the cohesion. The general has a long-term vision. It is beyond our reach!"

All the generals nodded in unison. They were indeed a little skeptical at first, but they had to train seriously due to the majesty of the general.

But then they all felt the changes under their command, it was really a radical change.So they are full of admiration for the general.

"What you said is also correct. The most important thing is that the queue and muskets are the best match. You will understand how powerful it is to equip your queue with muskets next month!" Su Cheng laughed.

"The Firearms Superintendent's musket manufacturing capacity is limited, and it is estimated that only [-] muskets can be produced next month. I will give priority to equipping the best team in this assessment!"

Prioritize the assembly of muskets?

Everyone's mouth watered after hearing this. Although they are soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, they haven't even touched a firearm until now!

Who will believe it!

However, it is true that the fifty artillery pieces were in the camp, and they couldn't help drooling when they didn't see them, but they could only train the formation.

I was worried before that there were only dozens of cannons, but the Shenji Battalion had [-] soldiers, so many monks and few flesh!

But now, it turns out that there are muskets!

The news of the musket quickly spread throughout the army, and all the soldiers rejoiced. After so long of hard training, they finally had hope.

The weather has become hotter and hotter, but this day's Shenji camp is even more lively, the sun has just risen, and dozens of horses galloped over.

The gate of the camp was open, and the soldiers at the camp gate hurried up to greet them.

"Where's your general? We're invited to watch the ceremony." Li Zhen laughed.

"Please come inside, my lords, our general is waiting inside!" The soldier smiled and directed.

Everyone entered the camp curiously, but the camp was empty, and no one was seen.

"This is no different from other camps." Cheng Chumo wondered, looking around.

"How much difference can there be in the camp! It mainly depends on how well the soldiers are training." Qin Huaidao laughed.

"There is still a difference. Don't you think the camp of Shenji Camp is very tidy and clean?" Li Zhen laughed.

Fang Yi smiled and said: "Su Cheng invited His Majesty to come to watch the ceremony, how could the soldiers of Shenji Camp not clean up the camp?"

The soldier in charge of leading could not help but interjected: "My lord, our Shenji camp is usually like this, and we didn't clean it specially because of His Majesty's visit."

Everyone smiled and nodded when they heard this, but they didn't think so in their hearts. It's no wonder they didn't clean it specially!

Entering the big tent of the Chinese army, seeing Su Cheng, Cheng Chumo and the others shouted immediately: "Su Cheng, where is he? Why didn't you see anyone?"

They were very curious about Su Cheng's military training, but they didn't even see the soldiers when they entered the camp.

"They are all preparing, what are you in a hurry for?"

The soldiers rushed over: "General Qi, the emperor's royal driver has arrived."

"Let's go, go to meet the holy driver!" Su Cheng went to the gate of the camp first, Cheng Chumo and the others also put away their playful smiles, they were full of respect for the emperor, but they didn't dare to be as casual as Su Cheng.

When Su Cheng arrived at the gate of the camp, the emperor had already entered the camp, followed by a mighty group of people.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Wei Wang Li Tai, Jin Wang Li Zhi, Li Jing, Li Jicheng, the eldest grandson Fang Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng...

Almost half of the court came, which was beyond Su Cheng's expectation. He had already known the loud voices of Cheng Yaojin and Yu Chigong.

What surprised him was that Li Shimin and a group of ministers came so early, all of them were veterans over half a century old, and they were so anxious.

"This is the first time Erchen has seen such a neat and clean camp!" Li Tai looked around and couldn't help but admire.

On the one hand, Li Tai really sighed, on the other hand, he wanted to say a few more good words for Su Cheng and get closer to Su Cheng.

Cheng Yaojin and others looked at it with a smile on their faces, but they didn't follow suit, because there was nothing to praise.

The emperor is here in person, even a fool knows how to clean it up!

Li Shimin just nodded and said: "It's not bad."

This is purely for Su Cheng's sake.

"I respectfully welcome Your Majesty. Should Your Majesty enter the big tent to rest first, or..."

Li Shimin smiled and said: "Why do you need to rest, let's see how the soldiers of your Shenji Battalion are doing!"
