Chapter 291: A New Era Has Arrived

The cavalry led by Sun Dayong quietly waited for orders, and the entire martial arts arena was very large and covered an extremely wide area. Despite this, the six thousand cavalry galloping at the same time seemed to be a little uncontrollable, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them, hoping that Zhou Huchen would give an eclectic performance.

All the cavalry under the leadership of Sun Dayong were on the left side of the Dianjiangtai, and the far right side of the martial arts arena was now a shiyan place. On the far right side of the martial arts arena, a large number of clay pots have been placed against the root of the wall, and these clay pots are divided into many rows, and they are neatly stacked together, which is simply a clay pot array.

The dull beat of the drum sounded again, and Sun Dayong raised his sword.

The title Dragoon is full of royal flavor, and everyone is looking forward to it. This is a moment to whet your appetite, in fact, it is to test what kind of combat effectiveness these future royal dragoons have, how they fight, and how they deal with the enemy cavalry as Zhou Huchen said.

But the current situation is that the cavalry seems to be facing clay pots, and the strength of the cavalry depends on strong impact and brave fighting.

This seems to be a bit of a joke, of course this question needs to be explained by Zhou Huchen, in the face of everyone's puzzled eyes, Zhou Huchen looked calm, he looked at the cavalry on the martial arts field, and did not explain at all.

Sun Dayong moved, he rode away, and at this time, the cavalry behind Sun Dayong was ordered to move too.

Six thousand men could not be used, but these cavalry had a way, they formed three echelons, and the cavalry of the first echelon galloped to the clay pot. There were no shouts, no drums, but the cavalry of about 2,000 men galloping at the same time was still impressive, and the ranks were still neat, a kind of drill with no real opponents, and the target of these cavalry was clay pots, countless clay pots.

What is called well-trained. Being able to stay in line at a gallop and be able to stop and still stay undisturbed is definitely well-trained.

And that's not all, the stopped cavalry actually dismounted, and then the soldiers quickly lined up in several horizontal formations. The officials and the emperor finally saw that these soldiers were carrying a firearm in their hands, and the soldier at the front was in a kneeling position, and the whole movement of the soldiers could be described as in one go, orderly, and without the slightest confusion, apparently having undergone numerous such trainings.

The soldier was nearly a hundred paces away from the clay pot. In an instant, the sound of fire guns rang out

It can be clearly seen that the whole stack of clay pots began to crumble, and the pottery shards flew in all directions. It's nothing, clay pots are dead targets, they are easy to hit, but the problem is the distance, the resulting kills at this distance.

Everyone understood that this was the infantry on horseback. A firecracker with agility and mobility.

The exciting performance continued, the sound of firecrackers did not stop, and the firecrackers of the soldiers in the second row were fired, and then. The soldiers crouched down, and the firearms of the third platoon of soldiers fired again

In the huge smoke of gunpowder, the sound of fire guns barely stopped. No one cared about the clay pot anymore, and it was impossible to know how many hits it was. Because the smoke is too thick, the soldiers are in good order, and the non-stop and powerful firing of the fire is the highlight.

Just when everyone was enjoying this non-stop fire gun performance. The sound of the fire stopped, and all the soldiers turned around almost at the same time, followed by the horses, and then whipped away.

"It's really strong! First-class mobility, lethality is undoubted, it is not an exaggeration to call the dragoon, come and go like the wind, with such lethality, coupled with the speed of movement like the wind, it is invincible, the cavalry of Jianyu is also helpless against such cavalry, can keep moving to fight, with these powerful firearms, seize the opportunity will bring great damage to the enemy, can move quickly The firecracker will make the enemy frightened, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the nemesis of the cavalry! ”

It was Zhang Guowei who spoke, and the speech of the secretary of the military department undoubtedly hit the point, and all the ministers nodded in agreement, and Emperor Zhu Youxiang saw the strength of Zhou Huchen's fire hand for the first time, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"What else? Not again! I don't know who it was, but I suddenly shouted.

Sure enough, the cavalry of the second echelon started, still an emergency stop about a hundred paces away from the clay pot, and then the soldiers began to dismount.

This time there is a significant change from the first echelon of shooting, this time the use of progressive shooting, after the soldiers in the front row shoot the guns, the soldiers in the back row move forward, and then shoot their own guns The soldiers are like a rolling powerful line of guns constantly moving forward, the sound of guns is almost not paused, and the lethality is also not questionable.

The soldiers trained by Zhou Huchen are really extraordinary, and the repeated victories over Jiannu are really not blown, and in the sigh of everyone, the soldiers of the third echelon are on the field.

The performance was satisfying and intriguing. This time, unlike the previous two, the soldiers did not dismount, but set off in a single column, which was an unbelievable way of firing the fire in the gallop.

There are many more clay pots, and as the firecrackers are running, these soldiers have mastered the rhythm very well, and when they shoot the firecrackers in their hands, they can clearly see the scene of the clay pots being hit. This is not false at all, a class that can ignite the fire gun while moving, and the great lethality has appeared!

Except for Zhou Huchen and the soldiers who participated in the drill, everyone was stunned!

Times are about to change! Is the bow and arrow, which used to be regarded as a weapon of war, capable of fighting in the face of such firearms? Is the enemy's cavalry capable of fighting against such a class? Will the enemy infantry be able to resist such a fast-moving class?

Whether it is range or power, the bow and arrow are obviously difficult to match, plus the wind comes and goes, such a cavalry is deservedly called dragoons! Who can resist such an army? Jiannu? Obviously impossible, as long as it reaches a certain scale, as long as the supply keeps up, this shijie's war will be the world of the dragoons, as long as it cooperates with the powerful infantry corps, the dragoons will gallop on the land at will, the past was daunting, and the desert and grassland will also be the world of the Ming Dynasty, and no one will be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Ming dragoons in the future!

A new era has arrived!

Zhu Youxiang is not the emperor immediately, but he has been displaced for a long time, has some understanding of battles, and knows what this means, Zhu Youxiang squirmed his lips excitedly: "Dragoon Dragoon This is the power of the royal dragoon"

Shoufu Gao Hongtu, who had always been solemn, took a few steps forward, and he glared at Zhou Huchen and shouted: "This dragoon is too few, add another 10,000, not 20,000, 30,000!" How much steel and horses are missing. It doesn't matter if there are soldiers, the old man will make up the horses if he smashes the pot and sells iron, but if you want to give me the soldiers of the training department, this dragoon must be as many as possible! ”

Gao Hongtu's eyes had become a little red, and he bowed to Emperor Zhu Youxiang: "Please be gracious!" ”

Before Zhu Youxiang could react, the ministers behind him flocked to him: "Please bixia and be gracious, this royal dragoon must be increased, please bixia think about it"

This is the royal liliang, is it possible not to agree? Zhu Youxiang's answer was very happy and simple: "Accurate!" I'm right! ”

Zhou Huchen smiled, this is the effect he wants. The full support of the courtiers, the support of the emperor, what else can not be solved!

"Bixia, this is the latest type of firecracker, called the carbine, in the past, our army's firearm fire generally needed to use a bracket, this kind of carbunless shortened the barrel, reduced the weight, but the power is not weak at all! What does this mean? It shows that our craftsmen have surpassed all the craftsmen on shijie. They have achieved the lead of this era, the soldiers have made meritorious contributions, and the craftsmen have also made great contributions! Please increase the number of dragoons and improve the status and treatment of craftsmen. ”

Kill two birds with one stone. This moment is undoubtedly a great moment, Zhou Huchen wants to correct the name of craftsmen, to let knowledge and innovation slowly blossom and bear fruit, he wants to change some concepts of this era. He needs these talents to keep forging ahead and keep creating.

Zhu Youxiang has no reason to hesitate: "It comes and goes like the wind, and the lethality is huge." Training such a tiger can not be accurate! As for these craftsmen mentioned by Xiaohu, please draft the six cabinet votes, as long as the six cabinet votes are approved, I will be approved! "The more the merrier, this belongs to the royal family, and Zhu Youxiang is a fool if he doesn't agree.

As Zhu Youxiang nodded again, Zhou Huchen was not far from the ideal in his heart, and victory beckoned to him.

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Zhang Guowei hurriedly stood up.

"Ministers seconded and ministers seconded"

Gao Hongtu was very satisfied, his eyes scanned the ministers who echoed him: "The old man remembers that the horse had made a military order to drive Jiannu out of the pass for a year, since it is necessary to increase the dragoons, this military order can extend the time, of course, there is no problem for the horse to drive Jiannu out of the customs within a year, but for the sake of safety, the time of this military order must be extended, and this matter must be approved by Bixia." ”

Turning his head, Gao Hongtu saluted the emperor.

"There is no problem in stabilizing Shandong and Henan Xiaohu, and there is no problem in defeating Jiannu, is this time? I don't think there is a need to meet the deadline, Xiaohu can do it, I and all Aiqing will help each other, what do you think of Aiqing? ”

Zhu Youxiang is obviously more optimistic about Zhou Huchen than Gao Hongtu, this Zhou Huchen is his own person, even if he is highly meritorious, he can't get rid of the identity of the royal son-in-law, and he can use it with confidence.

"Bixia is wise! Weichen still has one thing to play, please bixia favorites. Gao Hongtu saluted again.

"Aiqing, please speak."

"Weichen thinks that King Yi can be the overseer of the dragoons, King Yi is highly respected, and it is the best choice, please think about it."

Everything was done to make Zhou Huchen very satisfied, but unfortunately, Gao Hongtu was still not at ease, in order to contain Zhou Huchen, he actually moved out Zhou Huchen's relatives.

This is a proposal of the great scenery, what is highly respected, Yiwang Zhu Youzhen has never led troops to fight, being an overseer is obviously a decoration, but this decoration undoubtedly played a great role in Zhou Huchen's control, Zhou Huchen can not be domineering to his father-in-law, Gao Hongtu's proposal is simply absolute.

Zhu Youxiang looked at Gao Hongtu, he didn't speak, and then looked at the courtiers, this one was bad.

The crowd was surging, and all the courtiers began to echo loudly, and this Yiwang Zhu Youzhen immediately became a great military strategist who had never been seen before or since, and his ability to lead troops into battle was unparalleled in the world, unrivaled, enough to kill all enemies

"Bixia, Weichen also thinks that Yiwang Chitose can take on this responsibility, Weichen is young, it is better to have Yiwang Chitose on the side!"

Zhou Huchen is used to these political things, and his father-in-law will follow him, anyway, he will not rebel, just go, anyway, it is a decoration, and it will not adversely affect himself.

Zhou Huchen was very good, and Zhu Youxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiaohu is loyal to the country, I will not be rewarded, on the day of the destruction of Jiannu, I will reopen the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Qin will entitle Xiaohu as the Metropolitan Governor of the world, and I will be crowned a prince in the future!" ”

"Bixia's favor to Weichen will not be forgotten, loyalty to the country is a matter of duty, and this metropolitan governor does not dare to accept it."

What are you kidding, reopening the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, this can't be taken seriously, and I won't ask for it, Zhou Huchen doesn't want to be roasted to death on the fire, and he doesn't want to become the public enemy of all civil officials. In the future, the old one can be given this honor when he retires, and he can be a duke, and this metropolitan governor is good, but now he must not agree.

Since he is very good, Gao Hongtu hurriedly relieved Zhou Huchen: "Bixia, this matter still has to go through the six cabinets, and it can be discussed later." ”

"Then we'll talk about it later."

Zhu Youxiang also felt a little excited, this matter is better to let go, the reopening of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion involves a lot of rights issues, the six cabinets can't pass it at all, and it is easy to empty the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the civilian officials have completely suppressed the military attachΓ©s, and it is easier to restore it to the original than before.
