Seeing that the sergeants had been shot one by one and "killed", Xue Shu scolded loudly, and his voice was hoarse. But before the emperor drove, he didn't dare to have the slightest displeasure, but his voice was hoarse, and his voice was not unavoidable, and he said: "The minister is afraid." ”

After two hours of war, can you not be afraid?

Zhu Qizhen comforted: "Xue Qing is really difficult to fight with one enemy and two. The gun is an artifact, and although Qing is defeated, he is still glorious, and I am not to blame. ”

The whole army was wiped out and it was very shameless, but since the emperor said that he would not pursue it, and gave himself enough face, Xue Shu had no choice but to salute and said: "Your Majesty Xie is magnanimous, and the ministers are grateful." ”

Zhu Qizhen turned his head to Song Ying, who was standing beside Xue Xu, with a look of ecstasy, and said, "Qing and Xue Qing will inspect the sergeant together to see how many casualties there are, and report it." ”

The white powder is specially made by the craftsmen who will make the craftsman, and the powder is different between the two camps. Zhu Qizhen asked them to present data so that they could distinguish the combat strength of each battalion.

Xue Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Army Battalion has the help of the Shenji Battalion, and it is impossible to see the true combat strength of the Minister's Battalion, which is unfair to the Minister." ”

"It's okay, I know it."

Song Ying also said: "Marquis Xue doesn't have to worry, Your Majesty has his own judgment." ”

You're the winner, of course you say so. Xue Xu's heart was full of resentment, and he was full of slander, and when he turned his head and saw Zhang Ning standing next to him with a calm face, he said: "Lord Zhang, you have seen it all, please say a word for the official." ”

Isn't it a joke to let the whole army be wiped out, check the casualties? In addition to showing his ugliness again, what consequences can there be? For the sake of face, Xue Shu resisted the emperor's order very much.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Ning's face. In this battle, they were all shocked by the "thunder", and they admired Zhang Ning so much. That's right, gunpowder is a sharp weapon, but since the appearance of the late Song Dynasty, no one can use it well, and if you are not careful, you will injure yourself, and sometimes the number of people who will be injured by yourself is more than the enemy. This is also the reason why Chengzu set up a Shenji camp and only used firearms in this camp.

Gunpowder can't replace weapons.

But today, just now, the "thunder" deeply shocked them, not only the power was huge, but what made them unbelievable was that none of the sergeants used were injured, and the "thunder" was in their hands, just like a weapon that had been used for many years, they could throw it wherever they wanted, and they could explode whenever they wanted it to explode.

That's how you can get the most out of gunpowder.

Compared with the visually strong "thunder", the fire pistol seems too bland. If one shot injures one enemy, how can it be as good as a large explosion?

Zhang Ning said: "Marquis Xue, Your Majesty knows in your heart that this battle is not your fault, but the power of the gun is huge. His Majesty wanted to test the firing pistol and the marksmanship of the sergeant of the Shenji Battalion. ”

Many people said, "I see. ”

Xue Xue suddenly came to his senses and saluted Zhu Qizhen: "If this is the case, the minister's edict is." Marquis Song, let's go. ”

Needless to say, the Shenji Battalion was unharmed, so he and Song Ying could only count the casualties together.

At the beginning of its establishment, there were only 3,000 people, and after the successive generations, the number has always remained at three or four thousand. Although the number of cavalry in the five military battalions was large, there were only a few tens of thousands on horseback, and most of them were infantry, and the number of cavalry dispatched this time was the same as that of the 3,000 battalions, so there was no question of superiority in numbers. However, it is sure that the best of the best is selected, and everyone is strong and heavy, and it is right to be a veteran of a hundred battles.

Song Ying said: "Marquis Xue, please." ”

The two of them went on their own.

Zhu Qizhen said to Gu Xingzu, who was full of red light and smiled from ear to ear: "Is it possible for Gu Qing to guarantee that the Shenji Camp is full of such combat power?" ”

In this exercise, the Shenji Battalion showed its face greatly, not to mention others, Gu Chun made a great contribution this time, and it must be much easier to invite the son of the world. Thinking that he had asked Gu Chun to be the son of the world many times, the emperor had been staying in the middle of the house, and several sons were not satisfied with the eldest grandson, and they frequently made small moves behind his back, which made him have a headache. Now it's okay, the sons don't dare to mess around anymore.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this time to accept the imperial review, the minister randomly ordered a team of sergeants, nothing special." He patted his chest and promised.

Zhang Ning glanced at Gu Chun, who was full of ambition not far away, and then looked in the direction of the entire battalion of the Shenji Battalion, which was too far away to see the facial features of Liu Nian, the leader of the team.

Zhu Qizhen bowed his head and said, "That's fine." ”

Soon, Song Ying and Xue Shu came side by side, bowed and saluted together, and Song Ying reported: "Your Majesty, the casualties of the five military camps are less than thirty percent, about 1,000 people, of which about 200 people are injured in key parts. That is, about 200 people were killed and about 800 were wounded. The 3,000 battalion sergeants were wounded by swords and guns, about 950, of whom about 180 were killed, and the rest were wounded. ”

The casualties of each battalion are recognizable and easy to count.

"So, if there was no help from the Shenji Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion would have been defeated?" Many civil servants who heard the mystery through this set of figures whispered.

Yang Rong and Yang Pu glanced at Yang Shiqi together, and their eyes showed admiration. They also have granddaughters in their house, only Yang Shiqi tied Zhang Ning to his family's chariot by marriage, with Zhang Ning here, even if Yang Shiqi went west, the Yang family didn't have to worry. However, Zhang Ning is too young to speak, and he can protect the Yang family for at least fifty years.

Yang Shiqi looked at Zhang Ning with approving eyes. Zhang Ning smiled at him.

Zhu Qizhen was very happy and said, "I have a reward." ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang's dedication to the gun and the 'thunder' meritorious, should be among the rewards." Yang Rong saluted.

As soon as he came to speak for Yang Shiqi, the two have been colleagues and friends for many years; The second is to repay the peach, since Zhang Ning opened the precedent of commercial taxation, silver has continued to flow into the treasury. He no longer has to worry about the lack of money.

"Zhang Qing, I want a heavy reward." Zhu Qizhen said.

The civil and military generals all pricked up their ears and listened to what the emperor wanted to reward Zhang Ning.

When the two sharp weapons came out, you rewarded them, can you reward them again? You won't take the opportunity to make me a marquis, will you? Zhang Ning knows very well that Zhu Qizhen is good friends with Youyou, and he wishes she would marry early. He listened intently as he muttered to himself.

Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen paused and said, "Zhu Qing has seen the power of 'Thundering' and Sui Gun, and with these two sharp weapons in my hands, I will definitely be able to kill the enemy and flee." Zhang Qing made great contributions and was named the Marquis of Xingchang. ”

"......" was silent.

The real marquis? Zhang Ning was unexpected, because he was sent to him, he was able to be named Xingchangbo, and in less than a month, he was made a marquis, fulfilling his promise to the empress dowager. The emperor is taking the opportunity to marry his sister, right?

There are not a few courtiers who have the same idea, everyone looks at Zhang Ning, and then at Yang Shiqi, with a different color in their eyes. Among them, Yang Rong and Yang Pu are the strongest, Yang Rong is happy, and Yang Pu has complicated eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Ning saluted.

The emperor is going to let the county lord and the young lady of the Yang family marry next, right? Many people feel that today's imperial parade is for Zhang Ning to marry the county lord.

Zhang Ning's holy family is also too long.
