Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 395 Selection, the musket is formed!
He is seven feet tall and has a handsome appearance.

Under this requirement, more than half of the elite soldiers who were picked from hundreds of miles away were once again eliminated.

Finally, under Li Dejian's screening, two thousand elite soldiers were successfully selected.

Just standing there, wearing armor and standing solemnly and silently, these two thousand elite soldiers gave people an inexplicable sense of pressure.

It seems like a storm is coming!

Li Dejian said with a smile: "Brother Su, do you think these two thousand elite soldiers are feasible?"

"Not bad, not bad. It would be great if there was a Mo Dao team."

"What does the Mo Dao Team do?"

"You will know later."

Su Chen waved his hand cheerfully, looking at the two thousand elite soldiers in front of him, "These people are already good. As for the other soldiers, they will naturally form another army."

"Another group?"

"Correct."

Su Chen took out the military parade details and said, "This time we must not only organize elite troops, but also the elite of the elite, which will make people shine."

"In addition to these people, the cavalry is a part, and there are also the newly trained musketeers and the air force..."

Looking at the military parade details that Su Chen took out, Li Jingheng and others were shocked.

If this were to happen, wouldn't it mean that all the wealth of the Tang Dynasty would be emptied out?
"Brother Su, isn't it too ostentatious to bring out so many things?"

"No, no, no, this is the effect we want."

Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "These are just common military forces. The real lethal weapons will not be revealed."

"what?"

Li Dejian was stunned. "These are not enough?"

Li Jingheng: "The firearms have all come out, what other lethal weapons have not been revealed?"

Su Chen smiled and waved his hand, "You will know later."

Come again?

Li Jingheng and others were helpless.

Little did they know that the real lethal weapons were the repeating rifles that Feng Baojun and his team were researching, as well as the simplified version of the Gatling gun.

When these things are released, they are truly fatal.

"Dejian."

"Brother Su, please speak."

"Take these people and practice..."

"Training? I don't know how."

Li Dejian looked embarrassed.

Although he was the descendant of a military family and had been exposed to some things, he dared not deny the actual training of soldiers.

If things go wrong during the military parade, he will be finished.

"Don't take it too seriously. This isn't a life-and-death fight."

Su Chen smiled and said, "They are all elites carefully selected from various armies. Even for training, they don't need your guidance."

"I mean, you take them to practice walking."

"walk?"

Li Dejian and others were stunned, "Do we need to practice walking?"

"Of course!"

"Two people form a line, three people form a row."

Su Chen said seriously, "I don't need them to show how strong their fighting power is. I just need to make sure that when they move forward or backward, no matter from which angle you look at them, they are all just one person!"

"what?"

"How can this be done?"

Li Dejian and his men were shocked.

No matter from which angle you look at it, it's just one person, not a row of people!

This requires their formation to remain extremely regular!

Cheng Chumo touched his chin and said, "Mr. Su, if that's the case, then the heights of their hands and feet should be kept surprisingly consistent."

Snapped!
Su Chen snapped his fingers, "Chu Mo is right!"

Li Dejian seemed to be thinking about something. "I understand, Brother Su. I will arrange some personnel and set a standard for them to follow."

"Then I'll leave these people to you."

"Yes!"

Su Chen patted Li Dejian on the shoulder, and then called Cheng Chumo and others to leave, "Let's go, we're going to the next stop."

……

Archery Guards, Cavalry, New Firearms Army, Air Force...

After going around all the camps, there were more than ten thousand people behind Su Chen.

The number of troops in each type is not large, and the largest number is actually the two thousand elite soldiers selected by Li Dejian.

The smallest among them is the Air Force.

Compared with the new musket army, these two do not have very strict requirements on personnel configuration.

The only requirement is that you are not afraid of heights. If you are afraid of heights, everything will be in vain.

"They are all the elites in each army. Now they are assigned to you."

Arriving at the training ground, Su Chen looked at Li Dejian and the others and said, "I only have one request, and that is to strictly obey orders!"

"Anyone who disobeys will be warned the first time, and will be kicked out the second time!"

"This military parade concerns the Crown Prince's reputation and the dignity of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone, please pay attention."

"Yes!"

All the soldiers said in unison.

Su Chen nodded and ordered his men to copy several copies of the military parade details and distribute them.

"Let's practice!"

……

Ministry of Industry.

Feng Baojun rushed to Duan Lun with excitement on his face, "It's done, Minister, we did it."

"What's done?"

Duan Lun looked confused, "Please explain it clearly."

"The gun is ready!"

"Really?"

Duan Lun stood up suddenly. Feng Baojun kept nodding, "It's absolutely true. I brought them all. Do you want to try it, sir?"

"Of course!"

Duan Lun was delighted, but then stopped, "No, this thing should be tested by the prince himself!"

Feng Baojun nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Your Excellency's words make sense."

"Take your musket and follow me into the palace!"

Without saying a word, Duan Lun took Feng Baojun and his muskets and rushed to the East Palace.

however.

What Duan Lun and his companions did not expect was that Li Shimin, Gao Shilian and Li Chengqian were teasing the Crown Prince Li Xiang.

This……

"What are you two doing here in such a hurry?"

Li Shimin just glanced at them and then happily played with Li Xiang.

Duan Lun took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, with Su Chen's guidance, the Manufacturing Bureau has made a great breakthrough in the musket. Now it has been completed. The two of us came here to ask the Crown Prince to test the power of this thing!"

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled, "Continuous gun? From the name, it means it can fire continuously?"

Feng Baojun: “Absolutely.”

Li Chengqian: "Did you bring the things?"

Feng Baojun: "Your Highness, I have brought it."

"In that case, then..."

"The emperor's grandson is still here, what are you talking about that hurts people?"

Li Shimin interrupted Li Chengqian with an unhappy look on his face.

Li Chengqian: "..."

Crown Princess Su came over with a smile, "Father, since Lord Duan and Lord Feng are so excited, I think the importance of this item needs no further explanation. Father is knowledgeable and experienced, why not give the two Lords some pointers?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "Those are all things Su Chen tinkered with. I know nothing about them, so how can I give you advice?"

Having said that, Li Shimin let go of Li Xiang. Li Xiang, who had just learned to walk, staggered towards Su.

The Crown Princess smiled, bowed, and left with Li Xiang.

"Come on, let me see what your Ministry of Industry has come up with!"

Everyone followed Li Shimin and came to an open space.

Li Shimin glanced at Duan Lun and the other man and said, "Pull out the things and show them to the public."

Without saying a word, Feng Baojun called his men and brought over two muskets.

After seeing the two different kinds of muskets, Li Shimin and the other two all showed strange looks on their faces.

Li Shimin: "One is similar to the previous fire gun, but why is the other one so strange in shape?"

Feng Baojun: "Your Majesty, this is a linked gun, which is made by improving the previous fire gun."

"By switching the magazines, uninterrupted shooting can be ensured."

"Each magazine can hold up to twenty-eight rounds of iron pellets."

Feng Baojun picked up the musket and gave a detailed introduction. At the same time, the eunuch also prepared the target.

Feng Baojun handed the musket to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, please."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, extremely dissatisfied.

It seemed that if the musket was given to him, he would shoot Li Chengqian to death on the spot!

Li Chengqian smiled and handed the musket to Li Shimin.

Gao Shilian stroked his beard and smiled, "Your Majesty, be careful. The power of this musket is extremely astonishing."

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, then asked Feng Baojun to explain to Li Shimin how to use it.

Li Shimin smiled, picked up the musket and aimed at the wooden target in the distance.

Bang bang bang.

After a series of shots, only a few iron balls remained on the wooden rake.

The hit rate is extremely low.

Li Shimin's eyelids twitched, and he said silently: "It looks like a good thing."

Li Chengqian: "The improvement of this thing can greatly reduce the trouble of changing ammunition when facing the enemy head-on."

Feng Baojun: "Your Highness, once the ammunition is used up, the magazine can be replaced. The speed is several times faster than before."

"What about the second one?"

Li Shimin casually threw the musket over.

Feng Baojun took it with a smile and introduced the second type of musket.

"This thing has not yet been named, but its power far exceeds that of the musket."

Feng Baojun explained in detail, "This type of fire gun is based on the original one, but with an additional shooting barrel. This means that when a normal musket fires a single shot, it can fire ten rounds in an instant!"

"It can be adjusted by turning the wheel, and it can fire hundreds of iron balls in a breath. The way it is changed is similar to the repeating gun, but it is slightly different."

Li Shimin was surprised. "Shooting out a hundred iron balls in one breath?"

"good."

Feng Baojun continued, "It's just that because this thing has more barrels, it needs to be fixed with a base during production, so the weight is much heavier than the musket."

"If you want to move it, you'll need at least two strong soldiers to do it."

Li Shimin: "You are so impressive, I wonder if you will be embarrassed later."

Feng Baojun: "Your Majesty, please verify the authenticity."

"All of you, step back, step back, don't stand there."

"Is it necessary?"

"You will understand once you try it, Your Majesty."

Feng Baojun is full of confidence.

Li Shimin didn't take it seriously. At most he just shot the iron ball into the wooden rake as he did before.

"Your Majesty, please."

Li Shimin lifted his clothes and sat in front of the rifle, looked at the wooden target in the distance, and then pulled the trigger.

Da da da.

The bullets roared away like a torrential rain.

The powerful recoil made Li Shimin's face turn red and he almost lost control.

far away.

Under the bombardment of iron balls, wood chips flew all over the wooden target. In just a breath of time, the wooden target disappeared...
