More children, more blessings, starting from marrying a wife to fight for world hegemony

Chapter 224 The Arrival of Zhuge Chongguang
When Lu Chen arrived at the Council Hall, except for the people responsible for patrolling, almost all the important military figures were present.

After seeing Lu Chen's arrival, everyone saluted and said, "Greetings to your lord, may your lord live a thousand years!"

After the salute, Mu Jingwu immediately said: "Your Majesty, the artillery battalion has been assembled."

Lu Chen nodded and his eyes fell on Mu Changtian. Mu Changtian said, "My lord, the thousand recruits you want are ready. They are all trained according to the training methods you gave."

Lu Chen said: "Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Then, under the leadership of the Jinyiwei soldiers, everyone went to the military area near the military factory.

Mu Changtian and the others have never been to this place before, they only know that this place is very mysterious, only the black cavalry are stationed here, ordinary soldiers are not allowed to enter this place, even Mu Changtian himself.

After the Artillery Battalion and the New Army arrived at the designated location, Lu Chen said to Mu Changtian and the others: "You should also know that the main reason for bringing you here today is because the army is going to install new weapons."

"These new weapons are similar to howitzers. Although they are not as powerful as howitzers, they have more shells than howitzers. Moreover, these are weapons that Northland has been able to mass-produce."

Hearing this, Mu Changtian and the others were startled.

Can it be manufactured in batches?
Doesn't that mean that the military strength of the Northern Kingdom will soon surpass other dynasties?

The howitzer last time had already left a deep impression on everyone. At that time, they thought that if this weapon could be mass-produced, it would not be difficult for Lu Chen to reach the top position in the future.

But at that time, people thought they were using immortal weapons, so there wouldn't be many of them, and they would be gone once they were used up.

The soldiers in the artillery battalion had not touched a howitzer for a long time. Mu Jingwu even doubted whether the artillery battalion was about to be disbanded. He did not expect that the North Country would be able to produce similar weapons so quickly. In the future, the artillery battalion would play a crucial role on the battlefield. important role.

Lu Chen said to Mo Xing at this time: "Let the Jinyi Guards soldiers pull out their weapons."

"Yes, my lord."

With the help of the black cavalry, three hundred cannons and thousands of mortars were soon delivered to the soldiers.

Seeing so many weapons, Mu Changtian and others were stunned for a moment. Lu Chen said to Mu Jingwu at this time: "Captain Mu, starting from today, the training of the artillery battalion will be conducted with live ammunition. I need you to be there." Become thoroughly familiar with these new cannons within two months.”

Mu Jingwu immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The soldiers of the Artillery Battalion have long wanted to touch the real thing. Since the shells of the howitzer were fired, they are basically learning theoretical knowledge. No matter how thorough the theoretical knowledge is, it is not as fast as learning it by hand.

At this moment, Li Feng noticed the stick-like weapons placed on the wooden boards, and the scene where Lu Chen used Barrett to kill the high-level warrior suddenly appeared in his mind.

Li Feng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that these stick-like weapons were the kind of killer weapons that Lu Chen had used?
Thinking of this, Li Feng immediately asked: "Your Majesty, is this stick-like weapon also a cannon?"

Before Lu Chen could answer, Mo Xing replied from the side: "General Li, this is not a cannon, this is a musket."

Lu Chen said: "In the future, the new army will gradually abandon bows and arrows and use muskets. Mo Xing, please show them how to use muskets first."

"Okay, my lord."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Xing picked up a musket and skillfully loaded the primer and a steel ball bullet.

Immediately afterwards, he pointed the gun at a tree in the distance and pulled the trigger. As a gunshot was heard, the steel ball in the gun flew out and hit the tree instantly.

Seeing this scene, Li Feng and others were startled. This weapon was indeed very similar to the mysterious black weapon used by their prince before.

But it seems that the mysterious weapon of powerful Lu Chen is powerful.

After Mo Xing demonstrated how to use the musket, he told everyone: "The bullets and primers of the musket are smaller and more convenient to carry than bows and arrows."

"If it goes to the battlefield, a soldier can at least carry hundreds of bullets."

"Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that an ordinary person can also use this musket, and the bullets of the musket can easily penetrate armor."

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned again.

If a bow and arrow is used, an untrained soldier may not even be able to draw the bow. Even if he can draw the bow, the arrow will not be powerful enough, let alone penetrate the enemy's armor.

But once equipped with muskets, it means that any ordinary person can join the army of the North Kingdom in the future, as long as they learn to use muskets.

An ordinary person who has learned how to use a musket has strength comparable to that of a second-grade warrior.

Mu Changtian sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, the era of warriors is coming to an end.

After Mo Xing finished speaking, Lu Chen reminded from the side: "This batch is a training gun. The bullet and primer are separated, which is not convenient enough to carry. I have asked the craftsmen to improve the gun and produce bullets that combine the primer and bullet. ”

"Such a musket would be more powerful, and even a ninth-grade warrior would not be able to withstand its bullets."

Having said that, Lu Chen looked at Mu Changtian.

"The new army will learn how to use muskets as soon as possible."

Mu Changtian came back to his senses and said, "Yes, my lord!"

Lu Chen continued: "In addition, I would like to say one more thing. After entering the age of firearms, some warriors may think that they are no different from ordinary people, but I still want to remind you that no matter how powerful the firearms are, there are still those who cannot be killed by them. people."

Having said this, Lu Chen immediately picked up a Mo Xing musket, loaded the bullets, and pointed it at his head.

Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, and their expressions changed greatly in fear.

"My lord!!!"

"Your Majesty, no!!!"

……

Before anyone could stop Lu Chen, Lu Chen shot himself.

As a result, when the steel ball bullet was about to contact Lu Chen's head, a strong pressure was released from Lu Chen's body, and the next moment, the steel ball bullet turned into powder.

This……

Everyone was stunned again.

The coercion released by Lu Chen made everyone present breathless. Even Mu Changtian, the grand master, felt like there was a mountain pressing on them.

Lu Chen never told them that he was already a grand master, but the pressure Lu Chen released at this time was obviously the power that only a grand master could possess.

The generals summoned by Lu Chen naturally knew that Lu Chen belonged to the Grand Master, but Mu Changtian and the others didn't know that, and neither did the ordinary soldiers.

Lu Chenlu's move not only demonstrated the importance of martial arts, but also demonstrated the strength of his great master.

The soldiers and others were in disbelief.

Grandmaster?
Is their prince a great master? A 17-year-old grandmaster?
Sure enough, their prince is the son of destiny who is favored by the immortal!
If their lords hadn't been favored by the immortals, how could they have taken out such a terrifying weapon, and how could they have broken through to the realm of a great master in such a short period of time!
According to the growth rate of their lords, their lords may be able to become strong in the heaven and man realm before they are 30 years old.

It is rumored that powerful people in the Heavenly Realm already possess the strength close to that of immortals, and can control the wind and rain!
Thinking of this, the soldiers all boiled.

At this time, Lu Chen continued: "You have also seen that as long as you have absolute strength, even a musket cannot hurt your body, so you don't have to be depressed. Martial arts is still very important, and practicing kung fu can make people alive." It will last longer, but don’t give up on the path of martial arts just because of the advent of firearms.”

Lu Chen had long seen that since the howitzers showed their power on the battlefield, the warriors in the army were a little confused. Some soldiers even had the idea that martial arts were useless. Even Mu Changtian also had such a thought. Thought.

The birth of firearms will indeed hit warriors. Warriors will definitely think that an ordinary person can easily kill a ninth-level warrior, so what's the point of their hard training for decades?
Although Lu Chen knew that firearms were very powerful, he would not say that martial arts were useless.

On the contrary, after the birth of firearms, martial arts will most likely become more important than before.

Because only those who have reached the Grand Master realm can easily block bullets. In order to not be threatened by firearms, people will definitely try their best to improve their realm so that they will not be shot dead by an ordinary person with a musket.

Lu Chen glanced at the soldiers, and then said: "Okay, let's take these weapons away with our own soldiers. Daxia will be in chaos, and we must be prepared."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Mu Changtian and others felt their hearts skip a beat.

Will Daxia be in chaos?

Why did King Bei say that? Could it be...

Is the Northern King planning to directly raise an army?
……

While Mu Changtian and others were thinking wildly, Lu Chen had already gone to the arsenal to inspect. Since he was here, he wanted to take a look at the development process of the new gun.

The development of the new gun is relatively smooth. The bullet and primer have been combined. It is no longer a steel ball bullet, and the front of the bullet has become a sharp cone.

The main reason why Mo Xing and the others were able to get the bullets so quickly was because Lu Chen gave Mo Xing and the others the Desert Eagle and Barrett bullets for reference.

However, their bullets had a big problem. In this era with a very weak industrial base, the bullets they made were too rough and could easily explode.

In order to prevent the explosion of the chamber from causing trouble to the user, Mo Xing thickens the gun body. Even if the bullet explodes in the chamber, the bullet will not blow up the gun and will not harm the user.

But in this case, there is a big problem. Thickening the gun body will increase the weight.

An ordinary rifle weighs as much as Lu Chen's Barrett.

However, this gun is indeed relatively heavy for ordinary people, but for warriors in this world, this weight is not a problem.

Lu Chen found that what he said before was absolutely correct. Warriors were indeed still very important in the Northern Kingdom.

For example, the new muskets they produce must be easy to use by at least a third-level warrior. In the future, these new firearms can be used by third-level warriors in advance.

Of course, this is all temporary. The current industrial base is poor and the materials are not good, so we can only use this method of thickening the gun body. When the Northland has a certain industrial base in the future, they will not be able to make firearms so easily. The chamber exploded, and by that time even ordinary people would be able to use the new musket easily.

After inspecting the arsenal for about half an hour, Lu Chen returned to the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the palace, a member of the Jinyi Guards hurriedly ran to Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

Seeing the panic of Jin Yiwei Qianhu, Lu Chen immediately asked: "What happened?"

Jinyiwei Qianhu replied: "A great master has come to the south gate of Yancheng. Now the caravans coming and going from Yancheng are all watching outside. It is said that the great master is the literary sage of the Daqian Dynasty."

Hearing this, Lu Chen froze for a moment.

Did he arrive in Yancheng so soon? He thought Zhuge Chongguang would stay in the Dayue Dynasty for a while and then come to Yancheng quietly to avoid being discovered.

Jinyiwei Qianhu continued: "The great master was recognized by people as soon as he arrived at the gate of Yancheng. Now the south gate of Yancheng has been completely blocked, and people want to see the great master."

Hearing this, Lu Chen frowned.

Did Zhuge Chongguang make too much noise?

But think about it, Zhuge Chongguang is known as the Literary Saint after all. He is the person most likely to break through the realm of heaven and man in recent decades. It is normal for him to be so popular.

Lu Chen said: "Take me to have a look."

Then Lu Chen rode his horse and headed directly to Nancheng.

Zhuge Chongguang was a literary sage and a great master. Even the emperors of major dynasties wanted to give him some respect. There was nothing wrong with him as a prince personally greeting him.

Not long after, Lu Chen arrived at the south gate.

At this time, people were crowded inside and outside the city gate, and people all wanted to see the legendary Grand Master Wen Sheng.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the palace shouted loudly: "The prince is here!!!"

After hearing this, the crazy people reluctantly parted ways to come out.

Seeing that King Bei came in person, the people became more at ease.

After a while, Lu Chen rode up to a carriage drawn by four horses.

The next moment, under the witness of everyone, a white-haired old man slowly got off the carriage.

Today's Yancheng is already a commercial center, and the caravans of the major dynasties will come to Yancheng to buy goods, especially the products of the Northern Prince's Mansion, which are their most important trading goods.

These businessmen are relatively knowledgeable, and many of them have met Zhuge Chongguang, especially the businessmen of the Daqian Dynasty.

"Look! He is really a literary saint!"

"Why did the Literary Saint appear in the North Kingdom?"

"What did he come to Yancheng for? Didn't he go to Dayue Dynasty and prepare to move Huanyu Academy to Dayue?"

"Is there anything in the North that attracts him?"

"Dayue and Beiguo are right next to each other. Maybe he just came to Beiguo for a visit."

……

While people were talking about it, Zhuge Chongguang walked towards Lu Chen.

Lu Chen also got off the horse at this time.

At this time, Zhuge Chongguang bent down and saluted and said: "Zhuge Chongguang, President of Huanyu Academy, pays homage to the prince!"

　I have a cold and my head hurts. I will update it today.
