Western Hunting Ground.
Zhu Houzhao looked at the General of Trepidation with a smile, waiting for his answer.
"Your... Your Majesty, how did you manage to fire the musket in succession?”
"How can this power be so great?"
Zhu Houzhao smiled but didn't say anything.
"Great General, you don't have to be so surprised. This is just an appetizer!”
" What?!"
The Great General of Trepidation cried out in shock. Such a powerful weapon was many times stronger than the elite weapons in his hands, but this was only the appetizer?
Wouldn't the main dish be even more terrifying?
For a moment, Ling Luoshi's breathing became much faster as he looked at Tian Zi in disbelief.
"Minister!"
"Let's begin!"
"Yes."
Li Sui cupped his hands and bowed respectfully before retreating to the side.
"Artillers, get ready!"
Hong ~
The red cloths covering the cannons were lifted one after another.
The new model of the cannon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The mighty cannon shone under the sun, shining with a dark and cold light.
Ling Luoshi nervously watched the soldiers 'every move.
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang!
In an instant, the sound of cannons was like thunder, shaking the nine heavens.
A hundred new cannons fired at the same time, and the sound was as if the sky was collapsing.
Hundreds of scorching rays of light streaked across the sky, blasting straight towards the mountain peak in the distance.
Hong Hong Hong ~
Balls of fire exploded, and under his gaze, a large part of the green tree-lined mountain was instantly cut off.
At that moment, thunder exploded in his ears.
Some of the more timid ministers even collapsed to the ground.
"Is this really the power of a cannon?”
Ling Luoshi cried out in shock, his eyes burning like torches as he stared at the mountain peak that had been cut off in the distance.
"Great General, what do you think of the power of this cannon?”Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
Ling Luoshi swallowed his saliva and said with a shocked expression,""Your…Your Majesty, this cannon is as loud as thunder. Just its sound alone is enough to intimidate the enemy forces in the world.”
Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed out loud when he heard this."Haha ~"
"Great General's words are quite apt!”
"The Great General is stationed at the border, so the soldiers under him must be elite soldiers!”
"Comparing the two, do you think the cannons are stronger or your elite soldiers are stronger?”
Although the Emperor spoke with a smile, anyone who listened could hear the sharpness in his words.
Could it be that the Emperor wanted his soldiers to fight against these new firearms?
As Ling Luoshi thought about this, his expression changed abruptly.
He had personally witnessed the might of the cannons just now. The elite soldiers in his hands were indeed experienced in the battlefield. He had brought them here this time to strengthen his reputation.
However, compared to these new firearms, they would probably die without a burial ground before they could charge forward!
"Your Majesty, the power of this new cannon is not something that the flesh and blood of those soldiers can withstand.”
At this moment, Ling Luoshi's words were filled with humility and respect.
As for his previous arrogance, it had long disappeared.
"Haha ~"
Zhu Houzhao laughed heartily and took a step forward."Minister, begin your training!”
"Understood!"
Li Sui cupped his hands and bowed. He suddenly waved the flag in his hand and said solemnly,"Get into formation!"
The musketeers and cannoneers quickly returned to their positions and prepared to charge.
At the same time, the gate of the enclosure in the distance suddenly opened, and countless livestock and wild beasts rushed out.
"Artillery, attack!"
Military orders were like mountains.
Bang bang bang ~
Countless cannons filled the sky and landed on the ground.
Hong Hong Hong ~
Flames exploded, and the corpses of livestock flew everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of burning.
Under the fierce artillery fire, large swaths of livestock were destroyed.
Only a small number of wild beasts managed to survive the attack.
"The Flintlock Squad! Charge!"
Deng, deng, deng ~
The soldiers of the flintlock squad shot the livestock and wild beasts one by one as they charged.
Bang bang bang ~
From a distance, he was killed with a single shot.
The moment the bullet hit the beast's body, its flesh exploded.
Although Ling Luoshi's methods were ruthless and he had fought on the battlefield for decades, he was still a genius.
However, when he saw the scene before him, he could not help but feel a little shocked.
If these were the soldiers he brought, the outcome would probably not be much better than these livestock, right?
The battle practice was in full swing.
Compared to his arrogance when he first entered the capital, Ling Luoshi was only left with shock and fear.
The young emperor's power was more terrifying than he had imagined.
He didn't even dare to think that way.
At some point, Zhu Houzhao led the officials back to the hunting ground.
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon throne and looked at the shocked Ling Luoshi. He smiled and said,""Come on! The cooked meat of the livestock was distributed to the ministers.”
"This waste is not a good moral character.”
Not long after, the eunuchs came forward one after another with plates of dishes.
Ling Luoshi looked at the cooked meat in front of him and his expression was particularly ugly.
Was this the consequence of disobeying the Emperor?
Zhu Houzhao looked at the stunned Ling Luoshi and said with a smile,"What's wrong? Does Great General like it?"
Hearing this, Ling Luoshi shook his head and forced a smile."No, I like the delicious food that Your Majesty has given me.”
After saying that, Ling Luoshi carefully tasted it.
Zhu Houzhao saw this and said solemnly,"I am very pleased that the Great General has returned to the capital to report on his work."”
"In a few days, I will mobilize a large number of troops to wash away the humiliation of the rebellion at the Earthwood Fortress!”
Before Zhu Houzhao could finish his sentence, Ling Luoshi stood up and knelt on one knee."Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army as the vanguard and wash away the humiliation of the past!”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said,""Good! The Great General was indeed the pillar of the Ming Dynasty!”
"With the Great General here, Zhen can rest assured!”
"However, the Great General has returned to the capital to report on his work. The journey is far, so he will stay in the capital for a few more days.”
"After all, the capital is not like the border. The changes in recent months are very huge!”
Ling Luoshi's expression froze. He cupped his hands and said,""Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. After I return, I will definitely tell the soldiers everything that happened in the capital!”
"I believe that the soldiers will also be pleasantly surprised by the changes in the Ming Empire!”
Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded. Haha ~"
"Come, come, dear ministers, drink the wine in the cup with me!”
"From now on, everyone will be united and let the entire Ming Empire stand proudly at the top of the world!”
As soon as he finished speaking, all the officials stood up and raised their glasses together."We will definitely do our best to assist Your Majesty and help our Great Ming prosper!”
