"Zhao Guanjia can shoot so accurately in the wind, his marksmanship is like a god!"

Zhang Jun was very happy. Fortunately, Zhao Guan's shot hit the target. Otherwise, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he came to get this mirror and then sent it to Zhao Guan's family?

But now, it's different.

‘I, Zhang Jun, take this mirror and send it to Zhao Guan’s family. It will definitely make Zhao Guan’s family happy. It will also make the officials have a good impression of me, Zhang Jun.’

'In this way, if I achieve more military exploits on the battlefield, the day when I, Zhang Jun, will rise to prominence may come...'

Zhang Jun raised the corner of his mouth and ordered to the two soldiers who had just come over and were still breathing heavily:

"You two quickly lift up this wooden archery target, follow me, run back quickly, and present it to Zhao Guan's family."

"Follow...obey the order!"

Zhang Jun held the fine iron breast shield in both hands and ran back quickly at a sprint speed of 100 meters, arriving in front of Zhao Guan's house.

A "plop" sound.

Zhang Jun knelt on one knee, holding in both hands the fine iron breastplate with irregular bullet holes in the center and three arrows wedged into it, and congratulated:

"The humble minister Zhang Jun congratulates the official for hitting the very center of this iron mirror."

"Wei Chen originally thought that if the eldest son of the Yang family in my department can walk through an iron mirror with a hundred steps, he is already very powerful."

"However, Zhang Jun, a humble minister, never expected that an official's marksmanship is as good as a god!"

"The power and accuracy of the projectiles fired by the official's fire blunderbuss are much more powerful than those of the Yang family's powerful bow. It's much more powerful!"

All the soldiers present stood on tiptoes, stretched their necks, and looked at the fine iron breastplate in Zhang Jun's hand, which was wedged with three arrows and a thick and irregular bullet hole.

They were shocked...

Sure enough, as Zhang Jun said, Zhao Guanjia hit the target with his musket, and his shot was more accurate and more destructive than Yang Xinzhong, an archer who was as strong as an ox and could lift a three-stone bow.

Many of them have experienced many battles or even hundreds of battles. They imagined that if they were wearing armor on the battlefield, a hundred steps away, they would meet someone like Yang Pizhong, who was born with great strength and was skilled in bow and arrow.

, maybe still alive;

However, if you encounter a shooter like Zhao Guanjia who uses a blunderbuss, you will definitely be killed on the spot.

They also know that only the Song Dynasty has firearms, and the enemy countries do not. This allows the Song army to use firearms to crush the enemy in battle...

The admiration of the generals spread everywhere...

Zhang Jun heard the compliments and feedback from the soldiers present, and secretly glanced at Zhao Guan's family who was smiling proudly. He knew that his congratulations to Zhao Guan's family had aroused the agreement of all the soldiers and generals, and even made Zhao Guan's family happy.

He was so excited that he racked his brains and shouted:

"The humble minister Zhang Jun heard from Mr. Xiang Zhong, the official, that the officials gave me the firearms corps of the armies of the Song Dynasty's Western Expedition against Xia. The artillery, muskets and other firearms used by them were all invented and designed by the officials.

.”

Zhao Ji smiled and nodded.

Zhang Jun’s voice rose another octave, and he shouted excitedly:

"The official family is a genius! How could they develop such a powerful firearm! This is the blessing of the Song Dynasty!"

"The officials are wise and powerful!

"Although Zhang Jun is stupid, in my opinion, if these artifacts can be equipped on a large scale in all the armies of the Song Dynasty, they will definitely help the Song Dynasty expand its territory, far surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties, and become famous all over the world!!

"

All the soldiers and generals also agreed, their eyes full of admiration and excitement...

Among them, only two people's expressions were slightly different from the others.

One of them is Yue Fei. Although he admires the Zhao Guan family from the bottom of his heart for their ability to invent and develop a variety of firearms when they were in the capital, and due to the mass production of firearms manufacturing camps, their investment in military wars has achieved initial results, but he knows very well that in the past

The Song Dynasty currently has the ability to manufacture firearms and the production quantity. For now, the use of firearms in the Song army is only for auxiliary purposes, or only for key battles.

What made Yue Fei even more disgusted was that he discovered that Zhang Jun, a fierce general who dared to charge forward in battle, turned out to be a flattering villain!!

Zhang Jun's villainous face made Yue Fei feel ashamed to be associated with him...

Therefore, Yue Fei curled his lips and squinted at Zhang Jun, who was flattering Zhao Guan's family, with a look of disdain on his face.

Another person with a complicated expression is Yang Xinzhong.

Before, he drew a powerful bow with the power of three stones and fired three arrows in a row, which aroused the applause of the generals and Zhao Guan's family. Now Zhao Guan's family only needs to use a fire gun that he has never seen before, and only fired one bullet.

It hits the target so accurately, and its destructive power is so huge.

This made Yang Xinzhong feel that his limelight had been overshadowed by the Zhao Guan family too much!

He had a premonition that he might not be reused by the Zhao Guan family.

There was a slightly disappointed expression on his face.

When Zhao Ji scanned the generals, he quickly captured the subtle expression changes on the faces of Yue Fei and Yang Xinzhong.

He could infer the general thoughts of Yue and Yang through the changes in their expressions.

Zhao Ji secretly thought: 'Zhang Jun only obeys the emperor's orders and is good at catering to the holy will. Although Yue Fei, who has a straightforward personality, does not like it, I still want to use him.'

‘Zhang Jun in history was one of the four generals of the Zhongxing Dynasty in the Southern Song Dynasty. He was not in vain. My principle is: only use talents!

Zhao Ji saw a slightly disappointed expression on Yang Xinzhong's face, and he was not in a hurry to comfort the nineteen-year-old Captain Yang.

After all, Zhao Ji only needs to finally verify the family background of Yang Xinzhong in this world. As long as he can match the famous Southern Song Dynasty general Yang Xinzhong in history, then I will definitely promote him.

…

At this time, Zhao Ji knelt on one knee in front of Zhang Jun and said:

"Boying, please get back on your feet!"

"Weak minister Zhang Jun thanks the Lord for His grace!"

Zhang Jun thanked En and stood up. Since he had received the order from Zhao Guan's family, he still held the fine iron breastplate with three arrow feathers and an irregular bullet hole in both hands, and stood back to Yang Xinzhong, who looked disappointed.

around.

Zhang Jun used his strong body to arch Yang Xinzhong's mighty and tall body.

Yang Xinzhong frowned and asked in a low voice: "General Zhang, what's the matter?"

Zhang Jun whispered mysteriously: "The eldest man of the Yang family, you and I, brothers, showed their faces in front of Zhao Guan's family today. If we are rich and powerful in the future, don't forget us!"

Yang Xinzhong was very curious. Today, Zhang Jun actually became brothers with his subordinate.

He took a close look at the fine iron breast shield that Zhang Jun was still holding in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said in a low voice:

"General Zhang, don't make fun of Mr. Yang. Where did I show my face? Although my three arrows hit this mirror, they are not as accurate as Zhao Guan's shot, and their power is not as powerful as Guan's!"

"Haha!" Zhang Jun smiled and whispered:

"Brother, you don't understand, don't you? Brother, although you were born in a wealthy businessman and have enjoyed prosperity and wealth since childhood, you still have too little experience!"

"Although I, Mr. Zhang, come from a poor family and joined the army at the age of sixteen and have been in the army for nineteen years, I am well-informed and worldly. Brother, you are not as good as me."

"I think the Zhao Guan family already values ​​you, Brother Yang!"

Yang Xinzhong was puzzled and asked in a low voice: "How can you see it?"

Zhang Jun whispered: "I can tell from the way the official looks at you that he admires you. Also, you shot these three arrows exquisitely!~"

"Although you only shot around the center of the fine iron breastplate, you left the center of the mirror open for Zhao Guanjia to demonstrate his marksmanship in public. This allowed the Guanjia to demonstrate his marksmanship! Win.

He received the applause of the heavy soldiers present!"

"Do you think the official can be unhappy? Can he not reuse you in the future?"

Zhang Jun lowered his voice and added: "If it's the other way around, and Zhao Guan's shot misses, but Brother Yang hits three arrows, making the arrows wedge into the iron mirror, then I'm afraid you won't be reused by the officials!"

Young Lieutenant General Yang Xin was doubtful and said:

"But I think officials won't be like this..."

…

"Master Yang, what are you whispering to Zhang Boying over there? Come to me quickly!"

A loud shout from Zhao Guan's family made Yang Xinzhong tremble.

Zhang Jun was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and whispered to Yang Xin:

"Brother Yang and I have spoken the truth from the bottom of our hearts. Brother Yang, when you approach the official's house, you must control your speech carefully! Don't say everything!"

Yang Xinzhong nodded.

He was in a nervous mood and walked towards Zhao Guan's house. He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists and said:

"The last general Yang Xinzhong paid a visit to the official! The things the last general and General Zhang whispered to each other were all praising the official's marksmanship as a god, which made the officials admire him so much..."

Zhao Ji glanced at Yang Xinzhong, who had unlimited future potential in front of him. He did not ask for details, but praised:

"Da Lang of the Yang family showed great bravery in the battle against the enemy in the North City of Xijing. He killed more than seventy enemies and killed more than thirty more when he chased the fleeing enemies. It can be said that he has superb martial arts and is a hero from a young age!"

"I saw with my own eyes today that the Yang family's elder man can pull a bow with the force of three stones. He is indeed as strong as an ox!"

"You can pass through an iron mirror with a hundred steps, and your archery skills are outstanding!"
