When Wei Zheng, Fang Du and others heard this, they were all dumbfounded.
"Musket??"
Du Ruhui was the first to look at Li Er in disbelief, because after all, Du Ruhui is the Minister of the Ministry of War. On the one hand, he is in charge of the personnel of the Imperial Army and other fields. On the other hand, he can actually be regarded as half the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, because the Ministry of War is obviously also responsible for issues such as armaments.
For this reason, Du Ruhui has considerable military literacy.
And precisely because of his certain military literacy, after hearing Li Er talk about the musket, Du Ruhui immediately realized what this thing meant.
The Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty will have greater flexibility when planning their combat methods!
At the same time, for the enemy forces - any side, no matter where they come from - the difficulty of attacking the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army has also been greatly increased!
There is no other reason, according to what Li Er said.
This is obviously a small artillery thing, and its output is too flexible! The key is to fight flexibly. In fact, the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army is quite flexible to begin with. In today's Forbidden Army sequence, as long as there is a certain position, which school captain
Which commander, or even corps commander, does not have two swords and brushes in his hands?
But being able to use swordsmanship does not mean that you can use it on the battlefield - whenever the enemy charges, it will either be a long-planned surprise attack without giving you time to react, or it will be a heavily armored cavalry - at such times
, no matter how good you are at sword practice, it’s useless.
In other words, flexible fighting methods are often not powerful enough!
The lack of power also means that the combat methods of the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army are actually not that flexible, and there are not so many ideas that can be used.
But this musket is different.
On the one hand, this thing is just like a sword. As long as the gunpowder pellets are on the body, the enemy, even if it is a cavalry, only needs twenty steps to react, which is enough for the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty to stuff the gunpowder pellets into the fire chamber - until the enemy is close.
Come here, the gap will appear at this time.
The reaction time of twenty steps is the time given in a general ambush battle. And this time is definitely not enough for the Tang Dynasty, or for any army in the world currently wearing armor, they can only draw their swords and get into a stance.
And if someone comes to ambush you, you don’t have time to put on your armor, so even if you draw your sword, what effect will it have? After all, everything is calculated, and it is always the organizer of the ambush, not the victim!
There has never been a good way to deal with this kind of thing, so there is a saying that soldiers use deceitful tactics.
But with muskets, this matter is different. Soldiers "only have time to draw their swords but cannot complete the armor" and "only have time to load gunpowder projectiles" are completely different things. Soldiers who only have swords but no armor will be heavily armored.
The cavalry kills indiscriminately, but if the sword in his hand is a musket, then even if he is an elite soldier in the world, if he is suddenly shot, blood will be splashed on the spot!
This difference also means.
Wait, doesn't this difference mean...
Du Ruhui reacted quickly, then stared at Li Er with a horrified face, and murmured in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, is this thing serious?"
When Du Ruhui asked, Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng were really stunned for a moment. They stared at Du Ruhui and didn't understand what the old boy had figured out. Although these two people were civil servants, they were both top talents after all and were not familiar with military affairs.
Internet does not mean that you are not proficient in the Internet. I suddenly thought of it——
So in an instant, three eyes were staring at Li Er!
It seemed that Li Er's face could tell that this was a joke.
The three of them saw Li Er pouring wine and picking vegetables with a smile on his face, looking very happy. Seeing this scene, Wei Zheng and others knew that
Madam, as expected, His Majesty would not suddenly come out to drink in such troubled times without any reason. He would not just be drunk, but would be leisurely and leisurely, just like the children in the school on vacation!
Sure enough, there is a solution!
Now, after staring at Li Er for a while, they were convinced that the news was true from their expressions. The expressions of Wei Zheng and others quietly changed, and finally they looked at each other and laughed heartily!
Who made this musket? It’s absolutely wonderful!
And then, as if he had read through the thoughts of Wei Zheng and others, Li Er smiled proudly and said slowly, "Are you wondering who made this musket? Haha."
"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. This is exactly the work of my Datang Ordnance Institute!"
On the surface, Li Er's words were meant to praise the Weapons Research Institute, but in fact, there was a hidden meaning inside.
Over the years, the progress of the Tang Dynasty has always been made by Li Sheng, but this time it was the Weapons Research Institute, and this research institute was established by Li Er's decree - how could this not make Li Er proud for a while!
However, when Li Er showed off in such a smug manner, Wei Zheng and others burst into laughter, holding wine glasses to accompany them.
Fang Xuanling among them, however, frowned and looked puzzled, as if he was thinking about something. Of course, everyone was in a good mood at the moment. Li Er and Du Ruhui were especially excited and didn't pay attention. Wei Zheng noticed that the old guy had a strange expression.
Take a look.
I was about to ask you, old boy, what was on your mind, when I saw Fang Xuanling suddenly said, "Speaking of this weapons research institute, Weichen seems to have heard about the West Lake Industrial Zone in Hangzhou some time ago, and that an important person from it came to visit.
I don’t know what I handed over there, could it be,”
When Fang Xuanling said this, Li Er's beaming face, which had been smiling the whole time, instantly froze.
In the flash of lightning in my mind, I have already reacted.
Good guy, I spent a long time working on this musket.
It’s not due to old guy Cheng Yaojin!
And of course, it’s not my fault that you are so good.
Another double click.
What a good thing this guy Li Sheng did!
Once he realized that all of this was Li Sheng's arrangement, Li Er was stunned for a while and then became discouraged, with a wry smile on his face. Then he raised his wine glass with great sadness.
I didn't do anything to pour wine for Wei Zheng and others myself, I just started drinking by myself.
Wei Zheng and others couldn't help but snicker when they saw this, thinking that this majesty had become a puppet emperor if he wasn't careful. The Tang Dynasty relied on force to establish the country, and the strong men were so generous and ambitious to dominate all directions, but it ended up like this before they even started doing anything.
.
Seeing Wei Zheng and others snickering, Li Eryi's boss was not happy. He slammed the wine glass on the table and frowned, "What are you talking about here? This musket was made by the Weaponry Research Institute after all. I can't do it either."
It’s no credit at all, right? Besides, the war hasn’t even started yet, so this musket may not be enough,”
Li Eryitong forcefully explained that he wanted to prove that he was not a gangster, but he met Wei Zheng and others.
