Without waiting for everyone to ask questions, Cui Wenqing had already opened his mouth to explain: "This object contains gunpowder in a small mouth, the shell is wrapped in pig iron, and the fuse is on it, and the length of the lead is determined according to the distance of the target when used. ”

As soon as he heard Cui Wenqing's words, Li Daoxuan was like a disciple who saw a stunning beauty, revealing a look of concentration and obsession, his eyes were half loud, and he asked: "Dare to ask my uncle, how can this kind of earth-shattering thunder kill the enemy?" ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "The earth-shaking thunder can be designed into two kinds, one is slightly larger and ignited with fire, and when it is used, it is launched by a trebuchet and explodes in the distance; The other form is slightly smaller, and it is also ignited with fire and explodes on the spot, such as throwing it from the city wall to the bottom when defending the city, and it can also be thrown from a distance by soldiers with strong arm strength to achieve the purpose of killing the enemy. ”

Jiang Juan, the commander of the left army, listened carefully and asked: "Uncle Cui, I don't know how lethal this earth-shaking thunder is?" ”

Cui Wenqing thought for a while and said: "This thing is also like a rocket, it explodes violently first, and then kills and injures the enemy with the iron shell fragments wrapped outside, it is estimated that it should be similar to a rocket." ”

When the words fell, it provoked a buzzing discussion again, and the captains present were obviously very interested in the earth-shattering thunder proposed by Cui Wenqing.

Zhe Zhaoqiao's face was as heavy as autumn water, looking extremely dignified, and asked in a deep voice: "Captain Li, I wonder if this kind of earth-shattering thunder can be made?" How long does it take? ”

Li Daoxuan roughly estimated it, and said: "Governor Qiyu, the production of the Earthquake Thunder should be simpler than that of a rocket, I believe it is a little easier, as for the specific production time, my subordinates feel that the two craftsmen work together to make it, and it should not take more than half a day." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Juan said with satisfaction: "If that's the case, it's not bad, Captain Li, I would like to purchase a hundred rockets and five hundred sky-shaking thunders from you first, I don't know what you think?" ”

Before Li Daoxuan could answer, Mo Li next to him was already impatient to speak: "What?!" As soon as you kid open your mouth, you want so many rockets and earth-shattering thunder, don't you want to swallow it alone? After that, he turned his head to look at Li Daoxuan, and said solemnly, "Captain Li, don't listen to him, our right army also purchases the same number of sky-shaking thunder rockets from you, you can't favor one over the other." ”

Hearing the two of them say this, Bai Yifei was suddenly a little unhappy, and argued with reason: "When it comes to charging against the enemy, it should be our front army first, and this new rocket and earth-shaking thunder should also be rationed to the front army first, you two are making a fool of yourself here!" ”

Without waiting for Jiang Juan and Mo Li to refute, Huang Yao, the chief general of the Chinese army, also said quietly: "The front army is dominated by cavalry, and the left and right armies are responsible for the left and right flanks. ”

"Verma! You kid want to be beaten, don't you! Bai Yifei waved his fist at it, and the threat was clearly revealed.

"Yes, you make it clear, what is the most important Chinese army, isn't it important for us to leave and right the army?" Jiang Ju and Mo Li were obviously so angry by Huang Yao's words that they already hated the same enemy.

Although Huang Yao's personality is relatively dull, he is a master who refuses to suffer, and said with a sneer: "What's the matter, you just want to fight if you can't say it, right?" If you have the ability, let's compete in the military academy field and see who is powerful! ”

"Good!" Bai Yifei nodded and said, "Whoever wins, the first batch of Sky-Shaking Thunder Rockets will be used by whomever you want, what do you think?" ”

"No problem!" Jiang Juan and Mo Li also nodded.

"Wait!" Zhi Zhao's words suddenly made the four generals who were ready to hold the old fist stunned, and their voices were so cold that they made several people shudder: "In front of Ben Shuai, you dare to gather a crowd to fight, don't you regard military law as nothing?" ”

Seeing Zhe Zhaoqiao's cold face and serious expression, several generals looked at each other, and they all felt that their scalps were a little numb, and they all secretly wondered: Why was he so excited, he forgot that the Metropolitan Governor was still here.

Bai Yifei relied on the good relationship with Zhe Zhao in private, and sneered with a shy old face: "Governor, aren't we competing fairly to decide the ownership of new firearms?" How could it be a violation of military regulations? ”

Zhi Zhao was angry and funny, but Jiao Jing was tense: "This new weapon has its own arrangements, you don't have to think about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, several generals wailed in their hearts at the same time.

A few of them could still decide the ownership of the new firearms by force, but the governor could leave them speechless with just one word.

It seems that it is really a level of official and a big man who crushes people to death, black! It's not your average black.

Seeing the stupid appearance of a few people, the corners of Zhizhao's lips couldn't help but hook a trace of smile, although she already had a general plan in her heart, she still asked Cui Wenqing: "Husband, I don't know what you think about the use of these new firearms?" ”

Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Governor, who has always been very assertive, actually asked Aunt Cui, and the generals and captains present were more or less surprised, which shows the Metropolitan Governor's trust in Aunt Cui.

Cui Wenqing thought for a moment and said: "Governor, as the saying goes, there is a specialization, if the firearms are scattered in each battalion, I am afraid that the effect is not good, if a special firearms unit can be established, I believe that the power can be greater." ”

Zhi Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded with a smile: "It seems that you and I have the same idea, in my opinion, when a separate battalion should be set up in the Chinese army, the main equipment will use new firearms, and the commander will personally use it to command." ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "The lady's words are good, if you want me to come, this camp might as well be called the Shenji Battalion, how about it?" ”

"Divine Machine Battalion?" Zhi Zhao silently muttered the name for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's called the Divine Machine Camp." ”

Seeing that Zhi Zhao agreed, Cui Wenqing was indescribably happy.

In this way, it also shows that as the governor of the Zhenwu Army, she really began to pay attention to the research and development and use of firearms, which is a very good thing for today's Daqi and even for the future.

Moreover, with the influence of Zhezhao in the army, it will definitely be able to influence the imperial court's policy on firearms.

I believe that the Divine Craftsman Battalion and the newly established Divine Machine Battalion can lead to their own glory under the leadership of Zhi Zhao.

After the test of the new rocket was completed, Zhezhao set up a celebration banquet in the big tent of the Chinese army, and invited all the generals and lieutenants, as well as the craftsmen of the Shenji Battalion, to come together and gather together.

A golden buttery roast sheep was carried up, a jar of fragrant wine was patted with mud, a group of troops sang and danced slowly, and the whole tent was bustling and noisy.
