The training of the new army is not that easy, and it must start with popularizing knowledge.

Gunpowder is a completely unfamiliar new thing to people in this world, and they have never touched it.

For gunpowder, muskets and cannons, they don’t know what weapons are and how powerful they are.

That's why Long Chen showed them the power of gunpowder on the first day of assembly.

The subsequent training will be explained by the shooter of Linglong Pavilion to explain the use of flintlock rifles and explosives, especially safety issues.

Gunpowder must not see Mars, otherwise it will not be others who will kill you, but yourself.

Long Chen stood on the stage, looking at the female soldiers surrounded by the stage, thinking in his heart how to speed up the process.

"They are curious."

Dugu Linglong walked over and looked at the female soldier and said.

Long Chen smiled and said, "You were the same at the beginning. You didn't know anything. Learning new weapons requires a process and you can't get anxious."

Long Chen thought about it carefully, and he could not forcefully speed up the training.

The soldiers trained in this way are not of sufficient quality.

It is better to spend more time practicing troops and wait until everything is done to become famous in one battle.

"That's what you made of when I didn't know you."

"The iron bullets shot from the musket are invisible, and the armor in the army is easily broken. The day when such an army is trained is the time when you are invincible."

Gongsun Linglong looked at the female soldier who was surrounding the coach and asking questions.

Long Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's not so exaggerated. The purity and power of gunpowder are limited, and invincible is impossible."

Long Chen improved the production process of gunpowder and also performed granularization, but its power has reached its limit.

Long Chen thought about going a step further and creating bullets.

But this matter is too complicated, and the casting technology in this world cannot be achieved at all.

Of course, Long Chen can do it step by step, starting with basic things such as lathes and milling machines, but this process takes more than ten years, or even decades, and Long Chen does not have the patience.

"Such a powerful weapon is invincible enough."

Gongsun Linglong continued confidently: "When muskets and gunpowder appear, Xixia will definitely be shocked."

"Don't forget that we still have something, and we cannons, and those walls are like paper."

"And, I always feel that if I use a flintlock rifle to gather fire, the martial emperor master will not be able to escape death!"

The iron bomb is fired very quickly, much faster than the crossbow.

The fastest speed of the crossbow is only about 120 meters per second.

Iron bombs are different, much faster.

The most important thing is that the iron bullet is invisible. If it is concentrated, it will definitely be shot.

"Why don't we try it? You are the master of the Martial Emperor."

Gongsun Linglong looked at Long Chen with a smile.

Long Chen's face turned dark and he said unhappily: "You want to murder your husband! Use me as a target test. Have you played enough? Don't want it tonight in the future?"

Gongsun Linglong blushed when she was said, "Shameless! When I want to live, you forced me!"

Long Chen smiled and said, "You speak so heartlessly. When you feel deep in love, you wish you could tie me to you."

"Just last night, I said to let you go, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

"How are you? Remember what you said at that time?"

Gongsun Linglong blushed and recalled the memories, but couldn't remember what she said.

At that time, the brain entered a state of confusion, and the instinct was all about doing things and speaking.

"What did I say?"

Gongsun Linglong asked tentatively.

Long Chen put his ears on Gongsun Linglong and said, "You said..."

Gongsun Linglong's neck turned red with shame, and she cursed in a low voice: "I didn't say that, you wronged me!"

"Whatever is inside, how could I say such things!"

"If you dare to slander me again in the future, my sister will kill you!"

Long Chen laughed and said, "Did you kill me? Didn't you say you're biting me?"

Gongsun Linglong knew that she could not speak loudly about Long Chen, so she turned her head and walked into the training ground to explain to the recruits the use of weapons.

Long Chen entered the central army's tent to rest.

It is said to be the Central Army's tent, but it is actually a house. This house was originally a residence in charge of logistics supplies.

The training was slowly unfolding, and the recruits were gradually familiar with the use of the flintlock rifle.

....

Fengming Palace.

Di Wan'er held a tray with the minister's memorials on it.

Walking steadily into the imperial study, the empress was talking to Yingfeng.

"The things on Linglong Pavilion must be guaranteed well, and all the things are handled by the Shadow Guard, so that the news cannot be leaked."

The empress was instructing Yingfeng to provide Long Chen with logistical support and provide all people, money and property.

"Weichen knows that he just sent a batch of supplies yesterday."

Yingfeng was very concerned about Long Chen. She would also send the best things without the Queen's instructions.

The empress asked, "Have you gone to see the progress of the training? How is it?"

Ying Feng replied: "It's going very smoothly. Linglong said that the recruits have started shooting live ammunition."

The empress nodded and said, "It's going to snow soon, I'll send another batch of cold-proof supplies."

"Have their cold clothes been delivered to the Long Family Army in Jade Buddha Pass?"

Yingfeng replied: "It's delivered, it's ready in late autumn."

Di Wan'er gently put down the memorial.

"Okay, it's all right."

The empress picked up the memorial and began to review it.

Yingfeng withdrew from the imperial study room and left Di Wan'er to serve in the room.

....

Zhenguo Temple.

Monk Kongji, wearing thick monk's robe, leather boots, and monk's hat on his head, walked up to the top of Zhenguo Temple and looked out at the Jade Buddha Pass in the east.

A cold wind whistled overnight, and the first snow fell on Zhenguo Temple.

Yellow walls and red tiles are covered with white snow.

The withered earth around it was covered with a layer of white, which looked less desolate.

Kong Ji stood on the top of a mountain covered with snow, his red robe swinged with the wind, looking particularly bright.

Behind him, De Shanshen walked upstairs with one foot and one foot, standing beside Kong Ji.

The snow has not reached the ankle.

"There is no movement in the Jade Buddha Pass, Long Chengen has been hiding in the capital and never comes out."

"Senior brother, did you say this dead eunuch deliberately talk nonsense?"

Deshan has been staring at the Jade Buddha Pass for fear of a sudden attack from Long Chen.

Just like last time, they didn't even know that Long Chen had arrived at the Jade Buddha Pass.

Shi Ming, who broke into the rear, was caught off guard by Long Chen and was killed in the last battle.

Therefore, Deshan kept sending people to stare at him, but he didn't find any trace of Long Chen.

"It is impossible to bluff. He said that he wanted to destroy my Daxia and openly said that he would use Daxia as a betrothal gift. Long Chengen would definitely attack Daxia."

"The calm before the storm is the most terrifying thing. Long Chengen has no movement, he must be holding it in trouble."

"Send someone to sneak into the Jade Buddha Pass to see if there is any movement."

"The people from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty capital were sent out to see if Long Cheng'en was in the capital, and what they were doing in the capital."

Kongji is very sure, Long Chen must want to destroy Xixia.

Long Chen had no movement, so he must be planning a secret move.

"Okay, I'll send someone to investigate again."

Deshan looked at the Jade Buddha Pass, turned around and walked down the mountain, and returned to the temple to arrange it.

Kongji stood on the top of the mountain and stared blankly for a long time.

The sky was dark and the snow began to fall again. The dim sky seemed to be about to collapse. The flying snowflakes were covered with monk's hats, and the red cassocks were hung with snowflakes.

Kong Ji looked up at the drowsy sky, sighed in his heart, and turned back to Zhenguo Temple.
