I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 621
After sending Huang Yan away, Li Tian ordered someone to summon Zhu Yong, the Duke of Cheng, and Zhang Fu, the Duke of England.

It is planned to let them each take 1000 people, one to Nanjing and the other to Jiubian.

For this strange appointment, the two princes were very confused.

In their view, this is not only an overkill, but also a waste of the new army.

In the beginning, he tried his best to stop it.

Zhu Yong said directly,

"Your Majesty, there are only more than 2000 people in the new army who have completed the change of clothes, and they have only dared to train for a few months, and they have no combat experience at all. Isn't it too early to disperse them at this time?"

Zhang Fu also persuaded from the side,

"Yes, Your Majesty, Cheng Guogong is right, the new army is all armed with new firearms.

You also know that musketeers, a new type of army, can only exert a powerful attack if they form a certain number. If they are scattered, they will be like a plate of loose sand, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced! "

But Li Tian shook his head and said,

"You're just a little bit right, but not quite right."

"Although the new army is all composed of Musketeers, their training method is completely different from any army in Ming Dynasty at this time.

What they received was a training method far beyond this era, and their combat methods were completely different.

Even though they only have more than a thousand people, if the fade-in is properly arranged, it is no problem to fight one against ten. "

Zhang Fu was quite sensible, and he didn't continue to argue with Li Tian, ​​but he still argued,

"Your Majesty, I also know that the training method of the new army is different from the past, but they are still new recruits, and the number is too small to give full play to their strength. If they are accidentally damaged, wouldn't our half a year's hard work be in vain? gone."

Zhu Yong was more direct and said excitedly,

"Your Majesty, can you tell me what your purpose is for doing this? I have put all my thoughts on these little guys in recent months. Even if Your Majesty doesn't think about me, I just need to think about them. ah!"

Li Tian watched the two of them sing together, as if his beloved toy was ruthlessly taken away by an adult.

He burst out laughing,
"You guys really impress me, I never imagined that in just a few months, you have already invested so deeply in these little guys.

But you can rest assured that this training is not about asking them to perform any dangerous tasks, but just routine training. "

When it comes to the word training, the two princes are at a loss.

"Your Majesty, what is training!"

Li Tian smiled helplessly, and he also knew that if he didn't explain clearly to them, I'm afraid they wouldn't agree with what they said today.

So he explained to them,

"The so-called training is actually to let the troops leave the barracks and go to the field for training in subjects such as marching, camping, and live ammunition shooting."

Having said that, the two dukes immediately understood.

But they were still a little puzzled, and continued to ask,

"But Your Majesty, these trainings can be done in the barracks. Why do you have to go to places as far away as Nanjing and Jiubian!"

Li Tian muttered in his heart,

"These two guys are not very fuel-efficient. They have already guessed their true intentions, but they still ask questions knowingly."

He didn't intend to hide it anymore, so he directly said to the two of them,

"I won't hide it from you, you may have received some rumors recently, the north and the south are not quiet!

The new army's training is not the main purpose, the main purpose of this operation is to frighten those gangsters with evil intentions. "

The two of them looked at each other, as if they had expected this a long time ago, they exchanged a tacit understanding with each other, then Zhang Fu smiled and continued to discuss with Li Tian, ​​saying,
"But Your Majesty, only about two thousand people have completed their outfits, and they have been scattered in two places. It may not be enough to deter them!"

Li Tian probably expected that they would say this a long time ago, and he was not in a hurry to explain to them. Instead, he took them in the carriage he had prepared long ago, and went straight to Liu Baohe's arsenal outside the city.

"Go to a place with me first, and you will know why I have such confidence when we get there."

Along the way, the two dukes were muttering in their hearts. The two of them had come to this arsenal a lot before, and they didn't feel that there was any mystery here.

Li Tian brought the two of them so mysteriously and solemnly this time, for what reason, the two of them thought about it but didn't figure it out.

When he was about to reach the place, Zhu Yong still couldn't help asking,

"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want us to see? I have been to this arsenal no less than ten times before, and the old tricks have not changed every time!"

Li Tian smiled and shook his head,
"The so-called "Scholar's Farewell" should be treated with admiration for three days. You have only been here a while ago, so how do you know that they don't have anything new coming out here?"

Hearing what Li Tian said, the expressions of both of them changed slightly, and they thought to themselves,
"Could it be, this time I haven't come here for a few days, and I've researched something new here. I guess it's going to be embarrassing!"

In fact, this is not to blame that they are not careful and diligent enough.

What they want to see this time is a new order that Li Tian gave Liu Baohe after he visited this arsenal last time. Not too much.

The reason why he kept the two of them a secret, as the king of the dynasty, was not that Li Tian kept strict guard against the two of them and refused to disclose all the information.

Rather, since the establishment of this arsenal, even though Li Tian has repeatedly ordered that outsiders not be allowed to spy, there are still many guys like Zhang Fu and Zhu Yong who can't bear the loneliness and often come here to hang out.

These guys are not only brilliant in battle, but also occupy high positions. Liu Baohe can't afford to offend any of them. If good things are given to this side, there is no way to give them to that side.

In order not to let them embarrass himself, and to prevent them from looting and disrupting the order of the arsenal, Liu Baohe simply concealed many good things that are still in the experimental stage, using confidentiality as an excuse.

Li Tian gave Liu Baohe a total of five or six drawings this time.

These include arsenals for digging trenches, ammunition bags for convenient storage of ammunition, multi-functional military water bottles, new military uniforms and other things.

But there are only two most important ones, one is the flowering grenade, and the other is the new small-caliber flat-fire gun.

The latter two things can be described as sharp weapons among modern warfare weapons.

Back then, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, with only more than 1 miscellaneous troops, they defeated the 10,000+ elite Qing army, including Mongolian cavalry, and hundreds of thousands of Boxer militiamen.

In the case of only sacrificing a few people, an overall victory was achieved, relying on these two things.
