Chapter 277: Hope

In front of the palace, Cheng Yanjin saw Li Yong very sharply, and immediately shouted.

"Li Yong, Li Yong, come here, I heard that you are going to hold some assessment in the Shenji Camp, and you can also go to watch the ceremony?"

Knowing that it was impossible for Yu Chi to hide, Li Yong nodded and said.

"It's true, it's been a month since the training was made, and I'm going to conduct an assessment of them."

Cheng Yanjin suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, nodded and said.

"You have a good idea, the assessment is good, it is a mule or a horse that comes out to slip away, Li Yong, it's not your Uncle Cheng who brags, your Uncle Cheng is the best at assessment."

Li Yong said with a smile.

"That's right, I've also been training blindly for a month, and I don't know what to do, so I want to see which uncle is free, go and help me take the assessment, and see how the military training of the Shenji Battalion is."

Cheng bit Jin's chest and slapped it.

"Don't worry, I'll leave it to your Uncle Cheng, when will I be assessed?"

"Just three days later."

As soon as Li Yong's words fell, Cheng Yanjin had already turned his head to see Hou Junji, and shouted,

"Hou Junji, Hou Junji, come here, there is a good thing."

Li Yong has already supported his forehead, and Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong are able to come out of the palace gate, he has completely forgotten that he once beat the Tubo minister in front of the palace gate, is there a good thing? What does it mean to have a good thing? Li Yong was speechless, and Hou Junji was also confused, what's the good thing? Before Li Yong could speak, Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice had already exploded.

"Three days later, Li Yong's Shenji Camp will be assessed, let's go have fun together?"

Li Yong smiled and said, "I've been practicing blindly for a month, and I don't know how to practice, so I want to invite my uncles to watch the ceremony and give me some advice." ”

Hou Junji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled, "Really? I was curious, and three days later, the old man was cheeky enough to see and see. ”

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Uncles, please."

Cheng Yanjin pulled Hou Junji away and said loudly.

"Let's go, go and tell everyone to go, everyone is curious, Li Yong has been hiding it, the ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws."

What does it mean that an ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws? What are these words! Is he ugly? Originally, Li Yong only planned to invite five or six acquaintances, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong, etc., but now he can't predict how many people will go to watch the ceremony, after all, many other forces also want to know what his Shenji Camp is like. Ganlu Palace, after Li Yong saw the ceremony, he asked tentatively.

"Saint, are you free the day after tomorrow?"

Li Er couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it was really rare for someone to ask him like this.

"It's hard to say if you're free, do you have something to do?"

Li Er put down the piece in his hand and asked.

"The minister has been training for a month, so I want to conduct an assessment of the armies of the Shenji Battalion, but the minister's training method is a bit special, so I don't know what the effect is."

As soon as he heard Li Yong's words, Li Er suddenly became interested, he was very curious about Li Yong's military training method, especially after hearing that Li Yong's soldier's duty is to obey orders, he looked forward to Li Yong's military training even more.

"So what?"

Li Er asked with great interest.

"The minister invited the saint to come and watch the ceremony, and by the way, I would like to give some guidance."

Li Yong finally said what he meant, and Li Er nodded and said.

"Watch the ceremony, okay, let's go and see how the soldiers you train, to be honest, I really have some expectations, you said a sentence on the school field of the Shenji Battalion before, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders, and I have been thinking about this sentence these days, and I am very insightful."

Nonsense, that word can spread so widely in the previous life, and even be regarded as a classic, there must be a reason for him, if the soldiers in an army can really do this, then this army is definitely a strong army, an iron army, and his Xishan battalion is a model.

"The saint's award is just a little shallow opinion of the minister."

Li Yong said humbly with a cheeky face.

"Do you just invite someone to the ceremony? Who else? ”

Li Er asked.

"I don't know."

Li Yong replied helplessly.

"What do you mean you don't know?"

Li Er asked in surprise.

"Originally, the minister had a plan, and then the minister met Lu Guogong at the palace gate, and he may have lost control."

Li Yong said a little helplessly, and when he met Cheng Biting Jin's loud voice, Li Er said with a smile.

"It is estimated that the kung fu has spread all over at this time, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are very concerned about the Shenji Battalion, and they are very curious about how you train the army, so, boy, do you have confidence?"

"There should still be a little bit of faith,"

Li Yong said with a playful smile, when the generals in the court competed for the general of the Shenji Battalion, but the emperor handpicked Li Yong, if Li Yong lost face, then the emperor would not have face, when he walked out of the Ganlu Palace, Li Yong's mood was still very relaxed, he did have confidence in the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, more than that, the firearms supervisor finally made a breakthrough in the musket, and made a musket, although it was only a smoothbore gun, a front-loading smoothbore gun, but it was also a musket, his plan was half completed, Li Yong sneered in his heart, It's up to you to respond.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law~"

Li Yong turned around and saw Li Zhi running wildly on his little short legs.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing in the palace?"

Li Zhixiao's face was full of flattering smiles.

"Three days later, the Shenji Camp will start the assessment, and I will enter the palace to invite the saint to watch the ceremony."

Li Yong smiled, Li Zhi's little eyes suddenly became bright, and he said excitedly.

"Brother-in-law, can I go? Can I go to the ceremony? ”

"You have to ask the saint about this, I don't count if I say it."

Li Yong shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, how could he miss such an opportunity to go out of the palace to play? I don't know if my father will agree, Li Zhi looked at Li Yong and rolled his eyes, and he didn't know what kind of ghost idea came out of his little head.

"Okay, I'll go and ask my father."

Li Zhi turned his head and ran, Li Yong felt a little inexplicable, what is this kid doing in a hurry? Just ask Li Er directly? Li Zhi ran into the Manna Hall with his little short legs.

"Pheasant slave, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Er asked with a smile.

"Father, the son-in-law just met his brother-in-law, and the brother-in-law said that three days later, the Shenji Battalion will conduct an assessment, and he will drag the son-in-law to watch the ceremony, and if he doesn't go, it's really difficult to be gracious, and it's not easy for the son-in-law to refuse."

Li Zhi's little face was full of serious looks, if Li Yong was here, he would definitely give Li Zhi a slap on the back of the head, and look at you? Li Er asked with some amusement.

"Do you want to go?"

Li Zhi nodded again and again.

"Well, well, Erchen wants to go, and it's not good to refuse my brother-in-law's kindness."

"Okay, then I'll take you to see it."

Li Er said with a smile, walking out of the Ganlu Palace, Li Zhi couldn't help but wave his little hand excitedly, it worked to move his brother-in-law out, the Shenji Battalion, and the generals looked curiously at the strange-looking stick in Li Yong's hand, what is this for?

"As soon as the artillery came out, it was praised by the saints and the world, the cannon is indeed powerful, but it is too bulky, so what General Ben values most is not artillery, what General Ben values most is this, musket." Li Yong said with a smile.

Muskets? This was the musket that the general had been talking about, and they looked at it curiously.

"General, there is no spear head here?"

In their minds, isn't the musket a spear with a flaming spear? But can it do without a gun head? It's like a burning stick, do you stab people with a stick when you go to the battlefield?

"This is a firearm, a miniature version of a cannon, similar to a bow and arrow, but with a longer range than a bow and arrow, more than a hundred paces, and much more powerful than a bow and arrow."

Li Yong explained with some amusement, a miniature version of the cannon? The range is more than a hundred steps? The generals couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, more than a hundred steps? The range of the bow and arrow varies from person to person, mainly depending on the arm strength, a sharpshooter in the army is possible with a hundred or even two hundred steps, but most archers have a range of only seventy or eighty steps, and the range of a musket can reach more than a hundred steps?

"Do you think our Shenji Battalion is just hiding behind and firing a few cannons? That will never make a big contribution on the battlefield, and the musket is the killer weapon of our Shenji Battalion! ”

Li Yong said with a smile, all the generals nodded when they heard this, with muskets that are farther than the range of bows and arrows, and with artillery, then the strength of their Shenji battalion has increased by more than one level, originally they still had doubts about the general's determination to build the strongest army in the world, but now they no longer doubt it, with powerful artillery, and then there are muskets with a range that is farther than bows and arrows, if you don't want to become the strongest soldier in the world, it will be too unambitious!

"Did you think the hard training queue was useless before? So I complained very much. ”

Li Yong asked with a smile, and the generals were startled when they heard it, but seeing that the general didn't seem to be angry, they calmed down a little, and the captain Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

"At first, I was indeed a little puzzled, but as the generals at the end of the training also discovered that although the general's training method is strict, it can strengthen the obedience of the soldiers, enhance cohesion, and the general's foresight, which is beyond our reach."

The generals nodded in unison, they did have some doubts at first, but they were forced to train seriously due to the majesty of the general, but then they all felt the change under their command, it was really a reborn change. So they were full of admiration for the general.

"What you said is also right, the most important thing is that the queue and the musket are the best match, and you will understand next month, how powerful it will be to equip your queue with muskets, the firearms superintendent's musket manufacturing capacity is limited, and it is estimated that only two hundred muskets will be produced next month, and I will give priority to equipping the best team in this assessment."

Li Yong said with a smile, give priority to the assembly of muskets? Everyone listened to it and was salivating, although they were soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, but until now, they had not even touched a firearm, who would believe it? But, it is indeed a fact, the fifty artillery pieces are in the big camp, they can't help drooling when they don't see it back, but they can only train the queue, and they were worried before, there are only a few dozen artillery, but the Shenji battalion has 5,000 soldiers, and there are more monks and less meat, but now it's okay, there are still muskets, the news of the muskets quickly spread throughout the whole army, and all the soldiers rejoiced, so long and hard training finally had hope, the weather has become hotter and hotter, but this day the Shenji battalion is even more enthusiastic, Not long after the sun rose, dozens of horsemen galloped forward, the gate of the camp was opened, and the soldiers at the gate of the camp hurriedly greeted them.

"What about your generals? We were invited to the ceremony. ”

Zhang Zhilong said with a smile.

"Little grandfathers, please, our general is waiting inside."

The soldier guided with a smile.

Everyone entered the camp curiously, but the camp was empty, and there was not even a single figure.

"I don't see any difference between this and other big battalions."

Li Chongyi probed his brain, looked around, and wondered.

"How much difference there can be in the camp depends mainly on how well the soldiers are trained."

Li Jingheng said with a smile.

"There's still a difference, don't you think the camp of the Shenji Camp is very neat and clean?"

Zhang Zhilong said with a smile, and Fang Zhizhi also smiled.

"Li Yong invited a saint to come to watch the ceremony, how could the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion not clean up the camp?"

The soldier in charge of leading couldn't help but interject.

"Little grandfather, our Shenji Camp is usually like this, and it is not specially cleaned because of the presence of the saint."

Everyone smiled and nodded when they heard this, but they didn't think so in their hearts, and it was strange that they hadn't cleaned it up, and when they entered the big tent of the Chinese army, they saw Li Yong, Li Chongyi and others and immediately shouted.

"Li Yong, what about people? Why don't you even see a figure? ”

They were very curious about Li Yong's training, but when they entered the camp, they didn't even see the shadows of the soldiers.

"They're all preparing, what are you anxious about?"

Suddenly, a soldier rushed in.

"General Qiyu, the sage has arrived."

"Let's go, go and meet the Holy Driver."

Li Yong went to the camp gate first, Li Chongyi and they also put away the hippie smiling face, for the emperor, they were full of awe, but they did not dare to be as casual as Li Yong, and when Li Yong arrived at the camp gate, the emperor had already entered the camp, followed by a mighty group, the prince Li Chengqian, the king of Wei Li Tai, the king of Jin Li Zhi, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Cheng Yanjin, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng...... Simply came to most of the court, this was not Li Yong's expectation, he had already known the loud voices of Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, to his surprise, Li Er and the ministers came so early, all of them were more than half a hundred years old and experienced in a hundred battles, and they were still so anxious.

"It's the first time I've seen such a neat and clean camp."

Li Tai looked around and couldn't help but admire, Li Tai really sighed on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to say a few more good words for Li Yong and get closer to Li Yong, after all, now Li Yong is fragrant, Cheng Yanjin and the others looked at it with a smile, but they didn't praise it, because there is nothing to praise, the emperor is here in person, and the fool also knows how to clean up, Li Er just nodded and said.

"Not bad."

These words were completely said for the sake of Li Yong's face.

"Greeting the saint, will the saint enter the big tent to rest first, or will he ......"

Li Er said with a smile.

"Why rest, let's see how the soldiers of your Shenji Battalion are training first."
