From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 820 Went to the brothel again?

Gongsun Linglong said: "That's right, this is a cannon, you can understand it as a giant musket."

When the recruits saw the artillery, they were shocked by its huge size.

Long Chen tried to compress the size of the cannon as much as possible, the smaller cannon is more convenient to transport.

However, due to the problems of casting technology and steel materials, the volume of the artillery is still very large.

"Who can shoot such a big musket?"

"There's no way to aim, you can't squat on the gun cart to aim?"

"What kind of ammunition do you use for such a big musket?"

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to use it.

Long Chen said: "This is the cannon I'm talking about, and it's also your real weapon."

"You are artillerymen, not musketeers. From today onwards, you must start training artillery shooting."

"Commander Gongsun, let the artillery instructor demonstrate the firing of the artillery."

Gongsun Linglong turned around and asked the artillery coach to come over.

A cannon requires 8 people to operate at the same time, 8 coaches trotted over, saluted Long Chen and Gongsun Linglong, and then brought a barrel of gunpowder over.

Open the lid of the gunpowder barrel, pour the gunpowder into the barrel with a wooden spoon, and then compact it with a rod with hair.

Then a strong person holds the shell and stuffs it in, and then compacts it.

The whole process left the recruits stunned.

When they use muskets, they need very little gunpowder.

When the artillery is reloaded, pour it in spoonful by spoonful, just like you don't need money.

"With so much gunpowder, won't you blow yourself up?"

The soldiers watching were dumbfounded, worried that the gun barrel would blow up by itself.

"Probably not, this gun looks so strong."

After filling, Gongsun Linglong ordered everyone to stand five meters away, and no one was allowed to stand in the north.

After the artillery was loaded, a gunner was responsible for adjusting the angle. After the elevation angle was determined, a person next to him came over with a torch and lit the fuse.

zizi...

White smoke came out of the fuse, and sparks sank into the barrel.

Everyone looked at the artillery curiously, waiting for the moment of launch.

boom!

There was a loud bang, a burst of smoke from the muzzle, followed by the sound of whining wind, and the stone wall to the north suddenly made a crashing sound, a hole was smashed into the hard stone wall, and the stone was smashed to pieces.

People with good eyesight can see that the iron ball smashed into the stone wall just now.

"The stone wall was smashed through!"

"This power is too great."

"If you hit someone..."

"Let's not talk about people, horses will be broken if they are hit."

"If this is used to attack the city, isn't the city wall made of paper?"

They immediately thought of the magical effect of siege.

"Yes, it can be used to attack the city."

"It can also be used to deal with heavy armored cavalry. With such a great power, the heavy armor of cavalry is useless."

They quickly thought of the application of artillery.

After firing, the artillery coach stepped aside, waiting for Long Chen's instructions.

Long Chen said: "This is the power of artillery, the power of your weapons in the future!"

"Captain Mei Yu, you will be the leader of this army from now on."

Mei Yu saw the horror of the artillery with her own eyes, and she was very happy to pay homage: "The last general will not disgrace his life!"

Long Chen said to the eight coaches: "You are in charge of teaching, you must teach carefully."

The 8 people worshiped together: "Your subordinate obeys orders."

After Long Chen ordered some things, he asked Gongsun Linglong to take Mei Yu to practice loading and firing the cannon.

The aiming of artillery does not need to be as precise as that of muskets, but you can't shoot rabbits aimlessly, you need more practice.

Long Chen came out from the back mountain and returned to the forge in the front mountain.

Walking into the forge, it was still hot inside.

Compared with summer, the forge in winter is a bit like an air-conditioned room with a high temperature, and the female workers inside also put on clothes, which is no longer the same as before.

However, almost all of them wear simple clothes, which can be seen clearly when they bend down.

Long Chen found the person in charge, Wang Juan.

"King Wu."

Wang Juan bent down to salute, Long Chen was condescending and could see clearly.

"How is the current forging progress?"

Both the gun barrel and the gun barrel have a lifespan, and they will be scrapped after a certain number of times of use. There must be enough stock for the number of shots during training.

Wang Juan said: "I have tried my best. The quantity that King Wu said should be no problem. In the spring, there will be [-] flintlock guns and [-] cannons."

"Gunpowder is always in stock, no problem with that."

For the [-] Musketeers, based on the three backups for each person, Long Chen needs [-].

One thousand artillery pieces, a group of eight, Long Chen needs two hundred spares.

The forge is also rushing to work according to this requirement.

"Okay, you've worked hard, we must ensure the quality, and there must be no problems."

Wang Juan bowed: "Your subordinate understands, King Wu is at ease."

Long Chen exited the forging room and returned to his own room.

Taking out the pen and paper, Long Chen slowly drew a small musket.

Long Chen planned to forge a musket that could be hidden on his body, just like the small ballista before, it could be fired at close range at critical moments, creating a surprise effect.

...

Wu Wangfu.

Di Luoxi led Qingyue and Xuanyi into the yard on horseback, and saw Xiaohu practicing in the snow.

"This kid is very hardworking, and he is still practicing martial arts when it snows."

Qingyue said: "I guess I get beaten a lot, so I don't dare to be lazy."

Seeing the princess coming, He Juntao hurried over to greet her.

"Meet the princess."

Di Luoxi asked, "Where is my husband?"

He Juntao replied: "The little one dare not hide it, the king is not at the house."

Di Luoxi frowned, and asked coldly, "Where did you fool around?"

He Juntao immediately replied: "Only my aunt knows about this matter."

Di Luoxi ignored He Juntao, and quickly walked into the backyard, where Xiangning and a group of maids were playing around making snowmen.

Seeing Emperor Luoxi coming in, the girls immediately came to pay their respects.

"Where's aunt?"

Qingyue asked Xiangning.

Before Xiang Ning could answer, Su Yourong came out of the room.

"Where's the dead eunuch? Where did you fool around?"

Di Luoxi asked sharply.

Seeing that there were many people here, Su Yourong walked in and said in a low voice, "Princess, please go inside and talk."

Di Luoxi snorted coldly, and walked into Long Chen's bedroom, Su Yourong followed behind.

Qingyue and Xuan Yi guarded the door, Xiang Ning and his group didn't know why Di Luoxi got angry suddenly, so they didn't dare to play anymore, and went back to their rooms to warm up the fire.

"Say! Where are you going!"

Di Luoxi was very angry.

In the past, it was fine for Long Chen to go shopping in brothels, after all, he was still a eunuch at that time, so he couldn't do anything.

It's different now. Once you enter the kiln, it's the real thing.

Therefore, Emperor Luoxi would never allow Long Chen to go to the brothel again.

Su Yourong said: "Princess, calm down, Your Excellency went to Linglong Pavilion for military training, and it has been more than two months."

When Emperor Luoxi heard that he was training soldiers in Linglong Pavilion, his anger immediately subsided, and he asked, "Didn't you say that you are practicing in seclusion? Why did you go to Linglong Pavilion again?"

In the past two months, Di Luoxi has not come, because it is inconvenient to come again, and she is afraid of rumors from the outside world.

At the same time, it was also heard that Long Chen was in seclusion all day, practicing with Zhang Qian and others, so it was inconvenient to disturb him.

Unexpectedly, Long Chen went to Linglong Pavilion.

"Your Excellency left overnight, as if to keep it secret, and didn't want the outside world to know about his secret military training."

Su Yourong is not stupid, although Long Chen didn't say the reason, but after following Long Chen for so long, he can somewhat guess it.

Di Luoxi nodded slightly, and said: "By the way, he said that he would train a new army, I remembered."

"Then...then I'll go back."

With Long Chen not at the residence, Di Luoxi felt dull.
