Chapter 1 Five years
In the fifteenth year of Fengtian, spring.
"Bang Bang Bang"
In the white smoke, the musketeers who crouched in the first row neatly collected their guns and retreated, continuing to reload.
The small Perak Camp shooting range in the Beijing Garrison Martial Arts Exercise Ground has often disturbed the people with more and more frequent thunderous noises recently, and the Beijing Garrison Battalion is preparing to move the shooting range to a farther place.
Of course, nowadays, although Daqi's flintlock pistol technology is becoming more and more mature, there has never been a problem of inaccurate aiming in real battlefield shooting, because there are no sharpshooters at all nowadays, but relying on intensive shooting, more than 50 meters, the error of the projectile is often unimaginable.
Range training, in fact, is about coordination, proficiency in loading and shooting, and so on.
Now, the four small Perak battalions with a total of 2,000 musketeers that have just been reorganized are about to go to the northwest and be incorporated into the Yumen Army.
Lu Ning looked back at the five beautiful girls and girls in the car, obviously, they were not very interested in the activities they had arranged today, and after looking through the car window for a while, they secretly chatted by themselves.
Lu Ning didn't expect that after coming back from Dongying, he would be able to spend five spring and autumn periods in Bianjing peacefully.
While the northwest supported the Khotanese and Western Uighurs in their resistance to the invasion of the Qarakhanids, Daqi was in a relatively stable period of rapid development.
In the past five years, he seems to be extremely diligent in his administration, and almost ten days in a month will go to the morning court, which surprises the cabinet members.
In fact, the rapid expansion period suddenly braked, and the new system was from the central government to the localities, which was often the most problematic period.
However, I feel that I am getting a little more and more irritable, and gradually I can't stay anymore, in the past five years, I have struck iron every night, but I have created a lot of magic weapons, armor, muskets, and so on.
But the muskets in the shooting range not far away were not within the range of the firearms they had built, otherwise, there would be nothing to be happy about.
In fact, in the past five years, the development of firearms in the Great Qi has been extremely fast, and it has its own theoretical guidance, flintlock guns, improvised Napoleonic cannons and other firearms, with thousands of craftsmen can polish them.
In fact, the palace guards have been mixed into three "palace guard regiments", and foreign envoys translate as "royal guard regiments".
The Great Guard Regiment had about 3,000 men in men, including spearmen, sword and shield men, musketeers, and cavalry.
is a bit similar to the Spanish phalanx in Lu Ning's cognition, but it meets the needs of today's warfare, and the number of people in each formation is more than doubled.
In addition, there is also a "Great Thunderbolt Regiment in front of the palace" of about 1,000 people, that is, an artillery unit.
In addition to the 5,000 baggage reserves, there were 15,000 brave soldiers in front of the palace.
This allows the pro-army in front of the palace to attack the city as an incomparably powerful force on its own, or it can be used separately and mobilely.
In the year before last, the pro-army in front of the palace attacked Liaobei and deposed Yeluxian, the king of Liaobei.
Lu Ning did not personally participate at all, but the invincible palace army had already made the grassland tribes completely frightened.
In later generations called "Lake Baikal", now called the Central Plains called Beihai, the Daqi royal circle is "Beihai Huangzhuang", Tuntian immigrants, the neighboring Helanger Department and the Merikyu Department, became the slave department of the Huangzhuang.
In the past few days, Lu Ning has also been considering whether to send the guards to the northwest to support the war between Khotan and Qarakhanid.
But in the end, Lu Ning still pressed this thought, the northwest is too far away, not like the northeast, and the Central Plains has a constant and chaotic bond, the Central Plains Dynasty is often fighting with the enemy from the north, which also has to be in the north, and the Central Plains seem to be one.
The situation in the Western Regions is much more complicated.
And the longer he sat on the Jinluan Palace, the more faintly suspicious Lu Ning became, indeed, the people of the world, especially the ministers of power who are often in contact with you, are really willing to think that you should sit in this seat? There will be no side thoughts?
I don't have God's perspective, I don't know if there is an undercurrent surging in the capital.
And now, it is impossible to exaggerate the importance of the land of Jingshi, once there is an accident in Jingshi, the situation of long-term peace and stability for more than ten years may come to naught in an instant.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to station a force in Beijing that is absolutely finally its own.
In particular, I have been holding back a lot lately, and I am about to go for a walk outside, otherwise, I am really afraid that something will go wrong with my suffocation.
And this makes it even more necessary for the guards in front of the palace to be stationed in Beijing to deter the group.
When Lu Ning was pondering, Nanping on the side suddenly laughed, and when he saw his father looking over, he was busy sitting down.
Nan'an, who was whispering in her ear, immediately looked innocent, and looked around with big eyes blinking.
The two little girls are eleven years old, and their birthdays will be ten years old in a few months.
Speaking of which, although they have become very good friends with Zizi and Jizi, their personalities are really unlearnable, and both guys are eccentric, but in front of themselves, the honest rat is just like a cat.
Lu Ning looked at Zizi and Jizi again, the two bald little nuns in plain kimonos, both of whom were fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were all extremely beautiful, and because of their bald heads, they looked very beautiful and refined.
The two of them are in Kanghua Garden, eating fasting Buddha every day, and the temperament of the two is really stable, but Nan'an and Nanping are eccentric, but they complement their temperament, and the four of them are simply close friends who talk about everything.
Speaking of which, sitting in a carriage now, Lu Ning felt a little strange in his heart, because last year, he couldn't help but pamper Jizi and Zizi, and now seeing the four little sisters happy together, he felt as if he was a little weird about Shu Xiao, and his daughter's friends didn't let it go.
Next to "Daddy ......", the timid little dot is Princess Dongyang, Huang Baoyi was born in Dongying, the little guy likes to eat fingers and can't change it, and now he doesn't dare in front of his father, he always wants to drink some juice or something, but there is no one in the car.
Lu Ning shook his head helplessly, his blood was weak, in the past five years, only last year, the Xigong Concubine You gave birth to the princess.
I don't even want to do this anymore, but Nanping, Nanning, and Dongyang came to see the military exercises, and they were also ready to start with the dolls to see if they could inherit the talent of the great unification.
However, speaking of which, my current physical strength is no different from when I first came to this world sixteen or seventeen years ago, not only does it not show a trace of decay, but I even feel more energetic.
Yes, I feel that in terms of probability, it is very possible to give birth to a prince in the future, but I don't know how long it will be in the future, and I don't know if Yongning and others can see this day, and if it goes on like this, he can't become an old monster.
Thinking about it, Lu Ning smiled slightly, "Okay, go back!" Look at you one by one, where is there any resemblance to me? ”
A few little girls carved in pink and jade didn't squeak, and Nanping and Nan'an secretly stuck out their tongues.
The words reprimanded by my father and the emperor can be heard in the ears.
Lu Ning looked at the two of them, and was also a little helpless, I was afraid that no one would have thought that he would become a loving father instead, Yongning and Gui'er, but it was a strict mother, especially, he still had some thoughts of his past life in his dream, and he didn't understand the great truth of educating his children than anyone?
But when I saw these little guys, I was reluctant to put on a straight face, I just wanted to spoil them, and I wanted the stars not to pick the moon.
Alas, easier said than done, the same is true of parenting.
Lu Ning could only sigh in his heart.
