Divine Fire Guard.

Mu Ying is here again, although Zhu Yuanzhang said that he can rest assured, but he still can't rest assured, after all, these are the soldiers he has led, he doesn't care if Li Wei dies or not, but it's not okay to train the soldiers for him!

"Li Guancao, you said that there is order in this chaos, where is this order?"

Mu Ying asked patiently.

Li Wei: "......"

"Who is that, what's going on with your group, why is it messed up again, left first, left first!!"

Li Wei took two steps away, but he didn't hear it.

"Li Guancao, since Your Majesty handed over the Divine Fire Guard to you, then you should practice seriously, in a month, these soldiers will follow you on the expedition, and you have to be responsible for their lives!"

"Of course I will be responsible for my soldiers, and I don't bother with it."

Li Wei said impatiently.

"Hmph, Ben Hou doesn't want to bother, it's just that I can't see the way out of Li Guancao's new army formation, I'm very curious, and I ask Li Guancao for advice!"

"Don't call me to be in charge, call me Master Li!"

"The army is naturally called a military position, Li ......"

"Whoever you are, hurry up, count your slow shooting speed!"

Li Wei walked a few steps quickly and shook off Mu Ying.

Mu Ying looked at Li Wei who had escaped, and snorted angrily, very dissatisfied with his attitude.

Li Wei ran for a long distance and didn't stop until he couldn't see Mu Ying.

"Damn, I have to find a chance to talk to Lao Zhu, the name of this military position must be changed!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth and muttered.

"Master Li!"

At this time, Li Wei heard someone shouting at him again, but fortunately, he didn't open and close his mouth like Mu Ying.

Li Wei looked back and saw that it was Zhu Di, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It turns out that the prince is here, what are the instructions for finding the lower official?"

Li Wei asked with a smile.

Zhu Di showed a hint of an embarrassed smile, after he visited Li Wei, he went to find his father, but not only failed to ask people to come, but also attracted a reprimand.

Thinking that he had patted his chest and told Li Wei that it was okay, he felt embarrassed.

"Lord Li, I'm about to leave Beijing and go to Beiping to become a vassal, so I'm here to bid farewell to my lordship."

Zhu Di said with some regret in his tone.

"Oh, then I'll wish the prince a smooth journey."

Li Wei said casually, although he also wanted to go to Beiping to develop, he knew that Lao Zhu would not let go.

Zhu Di exchanged a few words, then looked around and asked, "Is this the newly formed firearms army of my father?" Can you tell me about it? ”

He came to Li Wei to resign by the way, and more importantly, he heard that an army with firearms as the main force had been formed, and he wanted to come and see it.

"Okay, Lord Wang, please."

Li Wei led him to the training group and introduced: "I let these musketeers form a group of three, one main shooter, and the other two reload, and I plan to let this group form a team of three, two groups to shoot and cover when attacking, and one group to attack ......."

Li Wei briefly introduced his thoughts.

Zhu Di is also quite talented in the application of firearms, hearing his designs suddenly lit up, although now these troops on the school field still seem chaotic, but if Li Wei's methods can come true, then these troops are orderly in chaos, and they will not reduce their firepower when attacking, suppressing the enemy to the death.

"Master Li is really talented!"

After listening to Li Wei's introduction, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time felt even more regretful that he couldn't take Li Wei to Beiping.

"What's this army called, right?"

"It's called Shenhuowei, well, but I'm going to change its name!"

Speaking of changing his name, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and glanced at Zhu Di, huh? Isn't this ready-made?

"Oh? Change to what? Zhu Di asked curiously.

"Oh, I'm going to call him the Divine Machine Battalion, what does the prince think?"

Li Wei looked like he was humbly seeking advice, and he shamelessly plagiarized in front of the original.

It's a pity that this original is not known yet.

"Good name! Master Li is really talented! Admire, admire! ”

Zhu Di immediately praised that this was originally his name, and of course he liked it.

"Prizes, prizes!"

Li Wei hurriedly said modestly, and said in his heart, thanks to you.

Since the original author has no opinion, then it is copied like this!

Zhu Di chatted with him for a long time before he reluctantly left the barracks.

In the evening, after a busy day, Li Wei came home and lay down, and was about to call the technician Xiaoqing to come over to relax, but suddenly someone came to the door.

"Little Dezi, why are you here?"

Li Wei got up from Gentle Township, and when he saw that it was Xiao Dezi, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive for a while, for fear that Lao Zhu would find out about him as a thief and let Xiao Dezi come to pass him into the palace and be beaten.

"Lord Li, I have something to ask Lord Li for advice, are you free?"

Xiao Dezi said with a smile.

Li Wei wanted to say no, but it was not easy to refuse with his smiling face.

"Okay, come in."

After entering the house, the two sat down separately, and Li Wei said: "If you have anything, just say it directly, we are all acquaintances, you are welcome." ”

When that's done, I have to go back and enjoy the tenderness.

"Master Xie Li!"

Xiao Dezi first thanked him, and then said slowly: "This matter is also related to Lord Li, Your Majesty is happy to be able to make all countries have a map, and I learned from Lord Li that there are high-yield grain varieties overseas, so I plan to send someone to the sea to find it, I recommended myself to take this errand, but I know very little about going to sea, so I came to ask Lord Li for advice!" ”

Li Wei was a little surprised when he heard this: "Go now?" Too much of a hurry, right? If I don't wait two years for a new ship to come and go, it will be much easier! ”

South America is thousands of miles away, and it is very risky to sail at sea, if there is a steam steamer, you can still try it, and if you go now, isn't it death?

Xiao Dezi was silent, Zhu Yuanzhang was really anxious about this matter, as soon as the map of Wanguo Kanyu was drawn, he was anxious to arrange people to prepare to go to sea!

The risk of going to sea now is indeed very large, but the risk is also great, and if Li Wei is waiting for the steam ship to be built, the credit will have to be said separately.

"Master Li, do you know where my name came from?"

Xiao Dezi suddenly talked about irrelevant things.

Li Wei was slightly stunned: "How did you get here?" ”

Xiao Dezi sighed: "That's just the name of a newly dead slave who was casually given to me by the steward when he entered the palace." ”

After speaking, he lifted his spirits and said: "But this time I went to sea, Your Majesty said that you must not fall into the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, so you specially gave me a name, called Wang Jinghong, which means that the scene is vast and grand, what does Lord Li think of this name?" ”

"Uh, it's okay."

Li Wei was perfunctory, and there was a burst of envy in his heart, these ancient people had a set of names, and then his own name, what is Li Wei, ordinary to the first in the country with the same name, who is to blame, really lazy!

"I came from a humble background, I don't even have a serious name, and now that I have the opportunity, I want to do something, even if I die at sea, I have no regrets!"

Xiao Dezi changed his humble appearance, and a sense of pride rose in his body.

Li Wei couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw him like this, he didn't expect such a little eunuch to have such great ambitions.

Look at himself, well, don't look at it!

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore, you say, if you need me, just ask."

Li Wei no longer persuaded that although he would die for a lifetime, if he could really succeed in returning, he would definitely have a name in history!

Xiao Dezi, Wang Jinghong thanked him gratefully, and then took out a copy of the map of the world from his sleeve and asked Li Wei to point out, which Zhu Yuanzhang specially gave him after he took over the task of going to sea.

This time he did not go to sea alone, but led a sailor of thousands of people, and he was the representative of the imperial power, admiring this sailor fleet.

Li Wei thought about it, and first explained to him the theoretical knowledge that the earth is a sphere, and if you want to sail to the sea, you must first understand this, which is very important!

Understand that the earth is round, then you can explain the latitude and longitude, in this era there is no satellite navigation, it is impossible to determine the exact latitude and longitude, but there is still a way to approximate the location.

For example, to record the time of sunrise and sunset, every hour in advance, that is a time zone advanced, of course, if the voyage is too long, you also need to consider the change of seasons.

Li Wei used a pencil to draw twenty-four equal parts vertically on the map and explained the concept of time zones to him.

Then there's latitude, which can be roughly determined by measuring the angle between the sun and sea level, which requires a tool like a sextant, but fortunately, he will have people hurry up and make one.

After talking about these, he talked about the route, he didn't know the specifics, so he could only give a rough idea, go down the river, and then go north to make a big circle, to North America and then to South America.

Later, Li Wei drew him the appearance of potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as very important rubber trees......

Three days later, Zhu Di left Beijing and went to Beiping to take up the domain.

Wang Jinghong also took the sextant, astrolabe and other tools made for him by Li Wei, went down the river, and set sail to sea.

Zhu Di is just that, everyone is not familiar with it, but Xiao Dezi is the one he met when he first arrived in Daming, and when he was beaten before, it was thanks to this little eunuch who repeatedly released water, otherwise even if he couldn't die, he would suffer a lot of crimes.

Now that it is gone, life and death are unpredictable, and Li Wei felt a little stunned for a while.

After sending the two away, Li Wei found an opportunity to go to the palace to find Zhu Yuanzhang, and the change of Shenhuowei's name could not be delayed any longer!

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang was admiring the newly released map of the world, with a smile on his face.

As for where those painters went, who knows.

"See Your Majesty!"

Li Wei saluted cautiously, because there was a ghost in his heart, his behavior was a lot more regular.

"Well, excuse me, what are you looking for us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved lightly.

Seeing that the matter didn't seem to have been revealed, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and talked about Shenhuowei.

"Your Majesty, now the Divine Fire Guards have begun training, but there are also some problems that require Your Majesty's permission."

"Well, let's talk about it."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to change the name of the Shenhuo Guard, called the Shenji Battalion, what does Your Majesty think?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Now the Ming Dynasty implements the guard system, and the guards in various places train while farming, and there are temporary generals appointed in the event of war, and the guards are drawn from all over the country to go out with the army.
