"Master Peng came from afar, hard work...", as soon as Peng Yue entered the territory of Datong, he saw Zeng Mo and others lined up far away. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Lord Zeng rushed here to greet him, it really tormented me...", Peng Yue hurriedly jumped down from the carriage and saluted Zeng Miao, after all, he admired this general from the bottom of his heart.

And one of the purposes of his coming here is also to help Zeng Miao, so that he can avoid the disaster of killing that he will suffer in history.

"It should be so, Master Peng is worried about the country and the people, and he does what he does, which really makes us admire." , Zeng Mo did have a good impression of Peng Yue, because he knew that he could rise all the way like this, and many of them Peng Yue helped him.

And he also knows Peng Yue's personality, knows that he is a loyal minister and righteous man, although he is married to Yan Song, he has always despised him as a person, and there are many contradictions between the two...

Of course, all of this was something Zeng Miaoxin had heard about, but he always had a good impression of Peng Yue in his heart.

"It's just loyalty to the country, but the rest can't be talked about, haha...", Peng Yue said, and Zeng Mo looked at each other and smiled.

"Loyal to the country? That's what I intended, haha...", Zeng Mian let out a hearty laugh and walked forward side by side with Peng Yue.

While walking, Peng Yue secretly looked at Zeng Milling and found that Zeng Milling was not as powerful as he imagined. On the contrary, Zeng Mill is not very tall, but he is quite strong, but his face has no expression all the time, as if it has a layer of frost.

"Lord Zeng won more battles with less in the first few battles, which can be described as a surprising victory, which makes me deeply admire...". Peng Yue praised with a smile.

"I'm ashamed and ashamed, but it's just some fallacy." Zeng Mo said, his bronzed face also glowing with blood.

In fact, Zeng Mill was originally a Wenchen. But he is not good at words, and later he is good at military affairs, as if he has found his own home, and he seems to have fewer words, so he is really embarrassed in the face of Peng Yue's strong praise.

"Master Peng, I don't know what to do, I don't know if to talk about it?" , Zeng Mill said. His brow furrowed.

"Oh? What's the matter with Zeng? But is it okay to talk about it? ”

"Master Peng, you have no experience in local service before, and you have no experience in military affairs, why did you take the initiative to invite you this time and want to come to this northwest... What about this drudgery? ”

Zeng Mo is indeed a fast talker, staying with a bunch of generals all day long, and he doesn't have much scruples about talking, so he thought of something and asked.

"This... It's a long story. It's both initiative and helplessness...", Peng Yue laughed, "Forget it." We'll talk about it again when we have time. ”

"That's right, Lord Zeng. I'll introduce you to someone first...", Peng Yue said. He pointed back, "This man is a military wizard." Zeng can reuse it, and it will work wonders against the enemy. ”

"Oh? Then I'm going to have to ask this guy for advice. Zeng Milling took a closer look in the direction Peng Yue pointed, and saw that the man was riding on a tall horse, with shining armor on his body, and although he had some elegant temperament on his face, he was wearing a military uniform, but he had a bit of a heroic and sassy taste.

"Master Peng, this person's surname is Yang Mingbo, and the word is only about it?"

"Yes, it turns out that Lord Zeng and Weiyue are old acquaintances." , Peng Yue was still a little surprised by this, after all, Zeng Mill has always worked in the place, and Yang Bo has been in the capital for a long time.

"Weiyue and I are both Jiajing eight-year jinshi, so we naturally know each other." , Zeng milled his beard, "Weiyue is indeed a genius, although I have been in the place for a long time, but I also know that Weiyue is the head of the Arsenal Clearance Division of the Ministry of War, and the official of the Ministry of Clearing is an extraordinary political achievement, but it lacks local combat experience, this time is just right, I can have a good discussion with Weiyue." ”

"Oh... That's a coincidence... Haha..."

"Lord Zeng, I came here this time for another important purpose...", Peng Yue said, and pointed back, "The ordnance station under my supervision has made a lot of new firearms over the years, but... Few of them are shipped here, and most of them are equipped with the Praetorian Guards of the capital, and I have come here to present these things to Lord Zeng..."

"Oh? It turns out that this is the case, I have long heard that Master Peng has established an ordnance institute to research and invent new firearms, and some have been shipped to Datong and Xuanfu before, which is indeed very good. It's a privilege to see it all today. When Zeng Mill heard Peng Yue say this, his face was very happy.

Because Zeng Mill had seen some firearms invented by the weapons that were transported here, although most of them were defective products eliminated by the Janissaries in the capital, but the effect was wonderful, far higher than the old firearms used before.

"I heard that Lord Zeng is also a keen firearm, and he also invented slow cannons, Zeng's mines and other things, I admire it very much." , Peng Yue also touted Zeng Milling at this time, after all, he didn't bring Yang Bo over, so it was better to have a relationship with Zeng Milling.

"The carving insect skill is not worth mentioning...", Zeng said this, but he was still very happy in his heart.

In fact, Zeng Mo has always attached great importance to the use of firearms in combat, so he is also very proud of his invention, and if others praise his invention, his heart is even happier.

"Actually, I think there are three most important points in this firearm: one is range, one is power, and the other is accuracy...", Peng Yue rarely saw a high-ranking official who had studied firearms, so he couldn't help but talk about it.

"Yes, I couldn't agree more." , Zeng Mo nodded and said.

"The range of these guns I transported can already reach one or two miles, and some can even reach five miles." , Peng Yue said proudly, but he was not satisfied with this in his heart, but referring to the level of scientific and technological development in ancient times, it could only be so. After all, I can't make it myself, and I feel that it is great to be able to make it like this.

"So far?" , Zeng Mill couldn't hide his surprise.

"The walls of this kind of artillery are very thick, and they are all made of refined copper and iron, and the belly of the cannon is also very large, so the pressure resistance is very strong, and the impact of gunpowder that can withstand is large, and the firing range is naturally increased. And the use of multi-tube and sectional launch increases the launch speed, which is also conducive to increasing the range...", Peng Yue finally met a person who understood the situation, and couldn't help but think of showing off, and talked with a smile,

"And these guns are equipped with scopes, with a light door, a crosshair...", Peng Yue didn't pay attention to some of the terms he said, Zeng Mo didn't understand at all, "In short, the accuracy of the launch is greatly improved..."

Peng Yue's mouth was like a river, Zeng Mo could only nod his head in praise, he really didn't expect that the firearms made by the military weapons would reach this level.

In fact, Peng Yue didn't understand very well, he listened to the people who made it, and only learned a little about the principle of operation, and the other Peng Yue himself was not interested in listening, so Peng Yue himself did not tell many exquisite designs.

But Peng Yue also knew that these advances were not enough to praise. As a matter of fact, these newly researched weapons are only some technical modifications of traditional Chinese firearms, and there is still a substantial gap between them and modern weapons, and they are not at all the same.

But Peng Yue now also understands that these things cannot be achieved by granting funds and allocating people to research. In fact, during the Hongwu period, the military institute, the saddle bridle bureau, and the military war bureau were set up to vigorously support firearms research, but then they gradually fell into disuse, and now they are just continuing this task.

However, it is impossible to create real modern weapons only in this way, which requires modern physics, chemistry and other disciplines, long-term practical accumulation, and it is simply impossible to do it overnight. (To be continued.) )
