Pingxing County.

The successful bomb test explosion made Luo Yi excited, this is a high-end new technology, which can make Longxi quickly become stronger.

In this era of cold weapons, mastering this technology has undoubtedly moved towards the pinnacle of science and technology, and has mastered everything on the battlefield.

Luo Yi ordered that the Academy of Science and Technology be expanded, and a group was selected from among the outstanding talents after the imperial examination, a special research group was formed, and the Academy of Science and Technology was equipped with the best materials, as well as auxiliary soldiers to help back and forth.

In short, the current Academy of Science and Technology is really full of talents and strength, with more than 1,000 people inside and out.

With such a huge system, the efficiency of work is of course very fast.

On this day, Zhao Wenyong came to Luo Yi's study to report on the affairs of the Institute of Science and Technology.

He is now the head of the Academy of Science and Technology, and the previous head has been dismissed by Luo Yi. It's not that he made any mistakes, but that Luo Yi believes in Zhao Wenyong more.

If such an important place and important matter as the Science and Technology Institute are not handed over to trusted people, how can you rest assured?

Especially for the title of head of the academy, you can often go out of the science and technology institute and report various things to the county guard's office, and if you leak secrets, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Zhao Wenyong was also very moved by this reuse.

In the study, Zhao Wenyong reported: "Lord, since I took over the Academy of Science and Technology, I have begun to step up the supervision of the construction of clay pots15, so far, there are more than 600!" ”

"The lord once instructed to develop a small one, and after redeployment, we have developed one that is only the size of a fist, and the power is just as amazing, and if it explodes, it can blow up all the enemies within a kilometer. Currently, this... More than 100 have been made. Lord, what should be the name of this clay pot? ”

Luo Yi was overjoyed, got up and thought about it, and said, "Then call it a grenade; Grenade 15. ”

"Yes."

Zhao Wenyong continued: "In addition, I also set up a small weapons workshop in the Academy of Science and Technology... There is something I want the lord to consider. ”

"What?"

Zhao Wenyong said: "I heard that the lord asked Zhu Ru to make a firearm called Shenwei cannon and musket, such a confidential and important thing, why not let our science and technology institute complete it." ”

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "Some time ago, the Academy of Science and Technology was too busy, and there was no armory workshop of its own, so I asked Zhu Ru to do it, besides, no one has ever seen the power of Shenwei cannons and muskets nowadays, they only have guns, no bullets, no one will care, no one will discuss, it doesn't matter." ”

After speaking, Luo Yi thought about it, took out a piece of paper from the table behind him, and said with a smile: "If you are interested, or if the Academy of Science and Technology can be busy, you can also try to do it and see which of you can make it first." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Wenyong trembled and said with a smile: "Okay! Thank you. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I promise, our Science and Technology Institute is the first to make it!"

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news!"

Luo Yi smiled slightly.

*********

On the north school field, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and severe training was underway.

On this day, Luo Yi first went to the military department, and then took Sun Jian to the school field and entered Luo Tong's Chinese military tent.

Luo Tong hardly left the barracks, and rarely returned home, in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, busy before and after. Since he came back, he hasn't seen Luo Yi a few times, and only in this military camp can he have a long talk.

"Third brother, why are you here?"

"If I don't come here, I'm afraid I won't see you a few times a year."

Luo Yi sat down and said, "I heard that the army has been expanded a lot recently, and the cavalry in your hand has been expanded to 20,000, is there such a thing?" ”

"yes."

Luo Tong said happily: "Our Longxi County, although it is a small county, but since there are Xiqiang and Xueyu, it is equivalent to having a huge stable, and the war horses are inexhaustible, not to mention 20,000, even if it is 200,000, you can make it together." ”

"It was really the wisest move to attack Xiqiang in the first place!"

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yi, Luo Tong, Pan Long, Sun Jian, Sun Yu, and Zhao Yong were already sitting in the big tent.

Luo Yi calculated, frowned, and said: "Now, with the soldiers and horses in the hands of Wang Qing and Shan Fei, I already have an army of 90,000 in Longxi, and if you add the garrisons in various places, the number should exceed 120,000; I don't want to recruit any more soldiers in the future. ”

"All armies should strive for excellence; Keep the soldiers and horses within 150,000. ”

Sun Jian said: "Lord, I'm afraid it's more than 120,000, I forgot to tell the lord, a few days ago, Wang Qing built the cities of Xiqiang, and there was a lack of troops in his hands, so I specially allowed him to expand the soldiers and horses to 50,000, and now..." ”

"Why didn't you say something so important?"

"I want to tell my lord."

Seeing Luo Yi's displeased, Luo Tong smiled and said, "Lord, don't worry, Wang Qing can manage the 50,000 army well!" Moreover, I was just about to suggest to the lord that Wang Qing be appointed as the governor of Xiqiang to lead the troops and guard Xiqiang, what do you think? ”

"That's what you think too?" Luo Yi was slightly surprised. He also had this intention in his heart, and he was afraid that all the generals under his command were not convinced, especially Luo Tong, Sun Yu, etc., but he didn't expect Luo Tong to take the initiative.

"Yes."

Luo Tong sighed: "After the Xiqiang War, I saw Wang Qing's talent, he is indeed a general who is good at leading troops, with him, you can protect Xiqiang and the snowy region." ”

"You're finally convinced?"

"It's not a service, it's a value!"

"Hehe, it's all the same, it's all the same."

Luo Yi looked at Sun Yu and Zhao Yong and asked, "You two, do you have Wang Qing?" His martial arts are not as powerful as yours, but this expedition, he has made many military exploits, and he can pacify Xiqiang, and he also has most of his credit. ”

When the two of them heard this, they both crooked their mouths.

To be honest, the two are still not convinced. However, even Luo Tong said so, and they couldn't say anything. Sun Yu said: "Lord, the last general will serve." ”

"I'll take it too."

Luo Yi asked again: "Then do you know what is wrong with you?" ”

Wrong? Is there something wrong? After thinking about it, the two seemed to understand what Luo Yi meant, and immediately said: "We are too reckless, the lord can rest assured, we will march cautiously and no longer be reckless." ”

"That's good." Luo Yi said: "You also have 30,000 recruits in your hands, which are not weaker than Solo Fei, Luo Tong, and Wang Qing, and you should work harder in the future." ”

Speaking of the 30,000 recruits, Sun Yu bowed his hand and said gratefully: "Thank you to the lord, the two of us will definitely live up to the high expectations of the lord." ”

Since they returned to Pingxing to lead 30,000 recruits, the military department has been very supportive, giving a lot of equipment, armor, etc., and supplying all the equipment, so that the combat effectiveness of the army will improve with it, and the two of them are grateful for this.

After a while, Luo Yi said his intention and said, "I came today to announce something. ”

"Lord, what is the matter?" Sun Jian asked.

Luo Yi said with a smile: "I am going to form a special army, and the age of the soldiers is set at twelve to fifteen years old; The number was set at five thousand, and I myself commanded it. ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, and they didn't know what they were laughing at.

Maybe it's a decision, Luo Yi is idle and wants to find something to do, so he also learns to train soldiers. It's just 5,000 people, it's a small thing.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "I just said, this is not an ordinary army!" Don't underestimate it, I can use this army to defeat your army of 50,000! Believe it or not? ”
