I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Immediately, under the leadership of Yi Bin, everyone arrived at the testing site dedicated to testing weapons, and Zhang Juzheng was full of expectations for the upcoming test.

After all, Jiajing had said before that after the test is completed and it is confirmed that there are no major problems, it will be equipped with priority to the Shenji Battalion.

As one of the three main camps of the Imperial Guard that has been stationed in the capital for a long time and is directly commanded by the emperor, the Shenji Battalion has a very heavy responsibility. When there is no war, it is responsible for guarding the capital. If there is a war, the Shenji Battalion may be sent to the front line to participate in the war at any time!

The entire Shenji Battalion consists of 600 infantrymen carrying muskets, 1000 cavalry, and 400 artillerymen. Those who can enter the Shenji Battalion are all brave and skilled warriors selected from a hundred!
Because of this, the treatment provided by the Shenji Battalion is the best among all the armies of the Ming Dynasty. Any new weapons will be given priority to the Shenji Battalion for use!

And since Jiajing gave Zhang Juzheng the task of rebuilding Shenji Camp earlier, Zhang Juzheng has been working hard and not daring to relax at all!

Thanks to Zhang Juzheng's efforts, the current Shenji Battalion has barely reached the level of the Ming Dynasty's Nine Frontiers. It is a veritable elite division, and it is also the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand!
At this moment, Yi Bin's voice sounded, bringing Zhang Juzheng back to reality.

"Your Majesty, you will soon be able to see the difference between paper bullets and traditional loading methods!"

"Okay, let's start!"

After Yi Bin finished speaking, he saw two soldiers walking up. After bowing respectfully to everyone, they walked to the table not far away.

On the table not far away, there were two firecrackers. The two soldiers picked up the firecrackers on the table and started loading them almost at the same time. Judging from the speed of their loading, the two sides were very competitive with each other. The firecrackers on board are all very skilled.

However, one of them used paper-cased bullets for loading, while the other side still used the old method of loading.

One of the soldiers was seen biting open the paper shell bullet and pouring the gunpowder into the blunderbuss. Immediately afterwards, he saw the last metal warhead stuffed with a special small wooden stick. Into the barrel of the gun.

After doing all this, the soldier raised the blunderbuss, aimed at the target not far away, and then pulled the trigger.

There was just a 'bang' sound, a burst of white smoke flashed by, and the warhead accurately hit the target not far away. On the other side, the soldier who used the old method to load ammunition had just stuffed the warhead into his gun. In charge.

Soon after, there was just a "bang" sound, and the soldier who used the old method to load the gun also hit the target accurately.

After the test was completed, everyone present fell into silence, because anyone with a discerning eye could see how much the paper bullets improved the reloading speed and stability of the gun.

"If this kind of paper-cased bullets can be gradually installed on all the armies of our Ming Dynasty, it will have an extremely significant effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the army!"

Zhang Juzheng thought so, and immediately made a secret decision in his heart to install paper bullets on all the armies of the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible!

After everyone was stunned for a moment, Xu Jie was the first to react. He knelt down on the ground with a thump, turned his eyes to Jiajing, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

After Xu Jie, everyone also reacted and knelt on the ground one after another, saying in unison.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Seeing that the test was successfully completed, Yi Bin breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully raised his head, turned his eyes to Jiajing, and asked.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what do you think?"

When Jiajing heard Yi Bin's words, he nodded without any trace and immediately gave instructions.

"Well, not bad, not bad. When we get down later, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 500 million taels of silver to your weapons department to mass-produce paper-cased bullets, develop new weapons, and improve firecrackers to make them more powerful. For practicality!”

'Hiss~' When Yi Bin heard what Jiajing said, he couldn't help but take a breath, because what he didn't expect was that the emperor waved his hand and allocated 500 million taels of silver. This was an astronomical figure!
Immediately, Yi Bin came back to his senses and responded firmly.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's great trust!"

"Well, you all get up!"

Hearing this, Jiajing looked Yi Bin up and down, then quickly looked away, nodded, and gave instructions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After getting Jiajing's permission, everyone got up from the ground one after another. After that, Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie and confirmed to him.

"Xu Jie, did you hear what I just said?" When Xu Jie heard what Jiajing said, he didn't dare to show any slightness and responded quickly.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers have heard it. After they come down, the ministers will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate all the money that should be allocated!"

Hearing this, Jiajing nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhang Juzheng aside and gave instructions.

"Zhang Juzheng, you are the Minister of War, and you will be responsible for gradually installing these paper-cased bullets into all the armies of the Ming Dynasty!"

When Zhang Juzheng heard what Jiajing said, he immediately leaned down and responded in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After that, under the leadership of Yi Bin, everyone visited the Arms Department in detail and gained a more detailed understanding of its current progress.

……

On the other side, inside the Inspectorate.

Several days have passed since Zhao Zhenji announced in public that they would not deal with the memorials to impeach Yan Shifan for the time being.

In the past few days, Zhao Zhenji did not dare to relax at all. He used all his connections in the court to find out the reason behind this.

Even if Zhao Zhenji tried his best, he could find very few clues!
At this moment, Zhao Zhenji was sitting in the duty room, confused.

"What is going on? Judging from what we have found so far, those who were impeached by Shangshu all have unclear relationships with Mr. Xu Ge. Could it be said that the whole thing was caused by Mr. Xu Ge?" First-hand planning?"

"Or is it that Mr. Xu Ge already has the strength to compete head-on with Mr. Yan Ge?"

But soon, this idea was vetoed by Zhao Zhenji himself: "No, that's not right. Yan Shifan, the elder of the small pavilion, has just joined the cabinet not long ago. The Yan family has two elders, and it is the time when it is at its peak!"

"If that's the case, then why did Mr. Xu Ge choose this time to send someone to impeach Mr. Yan Shifan?"

"There is an obvious strength gap between the two sides. We shouldn't act like this at all. Or is it someone behind the scenes who instructed Mr. Xu Ge to do this?"

"And that person is not afraid of the power of the Yan Party!"

Zhao Zhenji thought of this and vaguely felt that he had grasped the key to the problem. Just when he was about to continue thinking along this line of thinking, he heard a knock on the door.

Seeing that his thoughts were interrupted, Zhao Zhenji suddenly became extremely angry. He quickly came back to his senses, slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

"Didn't I say that if there is nothing important, please don't disturb me?"

"Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?"

When Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, he heard the anxious voice of a subordinate from outside the door.

"Sir... Your Majesty, the eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch of the Li Supervisor, is waiting outside. He said he wanted to bring you a message!"

After Zhao Zhenji heard the subordinate's report, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, he stood up from his seat suddenly, and immediately lost his voice.

"What did you say, Feng Bao!"

As soon as Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, the anxious voice of a subordinate came from outside the door.

"Yes...yes, my lord, the eunuch Feng Bao, the eunuch of the ceremonial department, is waiting outside. Do you want to see if you need..."

Before the subordinate official finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Zhao Zhenji.

"In that case, why are you still standing there? Why don't you invite Eunuch Feng in right away!"

"Yes, it's my lord!" (End of chapter)
