Chapter 243: Zhu Ying's Foresight(2/2)
This is why Lan Yu and others take him seriously.
As a relative of the emperor and your majesty's nephew, Li Jinglong received your majesty's care in many aspects.
He also has considerable prestige in the military.
At this moment, Li Jinglong was reading books related to the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
The last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty were also the years when the stars were the brightest.
"If I could be born in that era and compete with the heroes, how fun it would be!"
"It's so clear!"
Li Jinglong murmured to himself, excitedly picked up the drink next to him and drank it all in one gulp.
"Cool!"
"Compared to the Three Kingdoms period, our Ming Dynasty lacks most in marching formations. However, our Ming Dynasty has the advantage of firearms and has many new tactics compared to the Three Kingdoms period."
"How to better integrate firearms into these tactics is the key."
"It is said that in the Gunpowder Department, under the guidance of His Highness Changsun, a new firearm was born, called the matchlock gun. It is not only several times more powerful than the previous fire blunderbuss, but also has the accuracy of a crossbow."
"The use of such sharp weapons will inevitably open up a new flood of war and quickly create a very powerful army."
"I observe that His Highness Changsun's method of training soldiers in the palace is very different from that in the past."
"It looks extremely powerful, but the marching movements are not like today's fighting style. Especially in battle, some people can't understand how powerful each one is."
"If they were all replaced with matchlock guns, it would feel completely different."
"It turns out that His Highness Changsun is so powerful that he seems to want to spread matchlock guns throughout the army."
"It's just that equipping matchlocks on such a large scale and charging an army against each other is powerful, but it's not necessary. How much money will it cost?"
Li Jinglong frowned slightly, and after thinking about it carefully, his inspiration flashed.
"What if His Highness Changsun's idea is to fight in a small area? With only tens of thousands of people and enough gunpowder, a country can be easily wiped out."
"In this way, we don't have to worry about shaking the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and we can fight on multiple fronts to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty."
Thinking of this, Li Jinglong was a little shocked.
In this way, the role of the matchlock will be brought into full play. No matter the prairie cavalry or the infantry of other countries, it will be difficult to resist the army pretending to use the matchlock.
This also means that the Ming Dynasty is likely to fight at the same time in most places outside its territory.
"This is an opportunity, this is a huge opportunity."
"I got the dukedom because I inherited my father's title. I also relied on my reputation as a royal relative in the army."
"I have no choice but to take the position of His Highness Changsun. No, it probably won't take long. With the current production speed of matchlock guns, they will be widely distributed in the army soon. By then..."
Who can refuse the opportunity to leave a mark in history? Who doesn’t have lofty ambitions?
As His Majesty's grandnephew, Li Jinglong was born into an extremely wealthy family, and it can be said that he reached his peak when he came to the world.
But this is not what Li Jinglong wants. What he wants more is to prove himself and not to live in the shadow of his father and His Majesty.
When others talk about him, Li Jinglong, they no longer use similar titles such as His Majesty's nephew and son of King Qiyang.
Every time I hear words like this, even though it doesn't mean anything on the surface, I feel very unhappy.
He is who he is, he is Li Jinglong. He does not want the achievements of his fathers, he wants to make greater achievements himself.
Leave a strong mark in the history books, and for this, I will do whatever it takes!
Just when Li Jinglong was impassioned, there was a sudden noise outside.
Li Jinglong frowned, who was disturbing him at this time.
Soon, a guard came to report: "Duke Liang is here to visit."
Li Jinglong frowned even deeper because he could hear the sound of swordsmen even in the courtyard.
