Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 314 Forming a New Army

With the support of Changsun Wuji and others, the policy of promoting business was implemented, mainly in the coastal areas and the Western Regions. The country still emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business.

In addition to doing business, these businessmen who left Datang to do business abroad still need to understand the customs and customs of various places.

To put it bluntly, it is to use these businessmen to spy on information, to inquire about news and customs of various places.

With the rise of the Entrepreneurship Movement, many businessmen organized groups to go to the Hexi Corridor, embarked on the Silk Road, and carried out international trade all the way west.

There are also some merchants, especially those in the south, who use the convenient water transportation of the canal to go south and north to the sea to sell the goods of the Tang Dynasty to the coastal countries.

With the development of international trade in Datang, the economic level of Datang has risen sharply, and the species have been continuously enriched.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods were continuously introduced from all over the world, while Datang exported silk, porcelain, tea, etc. overseas.

Datang is well-known by countries all over the world, and Rome, Dashi, Tianzhu and other countries have also successively sent people to establish diplomatic relations with Datang to jointly promote development.

For this reason, Li Chengqian also sent additional manpower to reclaim the fields again and plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and other foods.

"Report to everyone! The research institute came out with news that the first batch of self-generating firecrackers have been manufactured." Wang Quan reported to Li Chengqian.

"What is the effect of this self-generating firecracker?" Li Chengqian asked.

The appearance of the bird gun represents the arrival of the age of firearms, and Datang is about to transform from the era of cold weapons to the era of cold weapons as the main and hot weapons as the supplement.

Datang's combat power will rise in a straight line, and it will be no problem to beat the surrounding barbarians.

"The research institute has already experimented. It is more powerful than bows and arrows, but the shooting range is shorter than bows and arrows, but the shooting speed is faster." Wang Quan said.

"As long as it is powerful, it can make up for the short range and form a dense musketeer team, which will definitely scare the enemy and even become their nightmare." Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian couldn't wait to equip such an army with all firearms.

"Is there anything else besides these?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.

"The research institute also said that compared with the first-generation matchlock guns, self-igniting guns can be used in rainy days without worrying about getting wet in rainy days."

"Filling the medicine is much simpler than the matchlock gun, and it is much better than the matchlock gun in other aspects, which greatly improves the combat performance." Wang Quan said.

Self-igniting firecrackers are indeed much more convenient than arquebus guns.Especially not afraid of getting wet in the rain, and not afraid of being discovered by the enemy at night.

"Very good, how many of these self-generating guns have been produced now?" Li Chengqian asked.

"It is said that 6000 qualified self-generating firecrackers have been produced." Wang Quan said.

According to the number of government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, there are 200 people in the upper government, 1000 in the middle government, and 800 in the lower government.

It can be equipped with five upper mansions, six middle mansions, and seven and a half lower mansions.

This was different from what Li Chengqian had expected in his heart. He planned to form an army of musketeers with countless men.

"Notify the research institute to manufacture more self-generating firecrackers as soon as possible, and all of them must be qualified." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan answered the order.

"Inform Wang Fangyi to select suitable candidates from the army to join the newly formed army. I will give him a quota of 3 people." Li Chengqian said.

"No!" Wang Quan took the order and left.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and Wang Fangyi was ordered to select elite soldiers from Zhechong Mansions all over the country, and moved their families to Chang'an.

The weapon manufacturing workshop of the research institute rushed to work day and night, continuously producing self-igniting firecrackers.

"The [-] elite soldiers have been selected and placed in the barracks outside the city. Please give your Majesty a name for the new king." Wang Fangyi reported to Li Chengqianhui.

These [-] soldiers and horses were all carefully selected by him, all of them were at the first-line combat level, and they could immediately go into battle when they were pulled out.

"Go and have a look. Wang Quan notified the research institute to send the self-generated firecrackers to the barracks." Li Chengqian got up and told Wang Fangyi while ordering Wang Quan to do something.

"Promise!" Wang Fangyi and Wang Quan took the orders. Wang Quan went to inform the research institute to deliver the muskets to the barracks, and Wang Fangyi accompanied Li Chengqian to the barracks first.

"All assemble!" The emperor's car drove into the barracks, and the generals in the camp immediately assembled the soldiers.

Li Chengqian got off the carriage, and the generals of the battalion rushed forward to see Li Chengqian.

"Generals Xiang Jiang, Ma Long, Zhang Yang, and Wang Sicong of the Fourth Battalion will meet His Majesty!" The four generals clasped their fists in salute.

"Free from courtesy!" Li Chengqian said in a white dragon robe.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The four thanked En and got up, and said to Jiang, "Your Majesty! The soldiers have assembled, please Your Majesty to inspect and give lectures."

Li Chengqian nodded, and under the guidance of Xiang Jiang and the other four, he walked up to the general platform. The audience was full of [-] soldiers, all of them tall and straight, full of energy.

"See Your Majesty!" 3 soldiers knelt on one knee, and [-] people shouted in unison, the voice was loud and straight into the sky.

"Be flat!" Li Chengqian said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The 3 people thanked En and got up.

The next thing was Li Chengqian, who was the emperor, gave a speech, and it was necessary to say some words of encouragement. After some encouragement, the blood of the soldiers was boiling.

"Let them go back and continue practicing!" Li Chengqian turned to Jiang Dao.

"No!" He saluted Jiang with his fists in his arms, turned around and shouted at the soldiers in the audience: "Disband! Continue to practice."

Thirty thousand soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner, and rows of soldiers practiced in modern methods such as standing in a military posture and kicking forward.

Li Chengqian and others came to the camp of the Chinese army, and just sat down, Wang Quan came, and with him was a researcher from the research institute.

"See Your Majesty!" the researcher saluted.

"Excuse me! How many self-generating muskets did you bring this time?" Li Chengqian said.

"Report to Your Majesty! A total of [-] self-generating firecrackers have been brought in, and we have also brought a lesson to teach the soldiers how to use self-generating firecrackers." The researcher said.

Among them, [-] pieces are the original [-] pieces, and [-] pieces are the self-generating firecrackers that were processed day and night later.

In order to allow soldiers to use self-generating firecrackers, the research institute also specially equipped coaches to teach them how to use self-generating firecrackers correctly.

After the first batch of soldiers have learned and skillfully used self-generating firecrackers, these coaches will return to the academy.

As for the promotion, it will be taught by the first batch of soldiers.

"Okay! Put the self-generating blunderbuss into the arsenal. Fireworks are strictly prohibited, and take out a part of the self-generating blunderbuss to teach the soldiers how to shoot." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Xiang Jiang was ordered to retreat, and went to hand over to the people in the research institute. He took out [-] self-generated firecrackers for practice, and transported all the others to the armory.

Li Chengqian stayed in the barracks for a while, watched the researchers teach the soldiers to learn the knowledge and use of self-generated firecrackers, and gave the new army the title of Vulcan Army, and then returned to the palace.
