"Especially now.
Now, we have entered the age of firearms.”
As he spoke, Wang Xiaoliang took off the Lumi musket from his back and placed it in front of Shi Kefa.
Shi Kefa took the handgun, his eyes full of doubt."The era of firearms?"
At this moment, Zhu Youxin, who had already prepared himself, slowly walked out of one of the barracks.
Shi Kefa was a little shocked and even a little frightened.
In the end, his current actions were to investigate King Heng's background.
However, it was only for a moment. Shi Kefa looked at Zhu Youyou calmly and said,""I wonder if Your Highness Prince Heng would allow me to stay in the military camp for a long time?”
Zhu Youzhen nodded nonchalantly and continued the topic. At the same time, he took the Lumi Gun from Shi Kefa's hand.
As they walked in, Zhu Youqi said,""The so-called era of firearms is to attack targets from a long distance and achieve the goal of killing the enemy.”
As he spoke, Zhu Youqi raised the Lumi gun in his hand."This musket has a range of one hundred and fifty meters. Traditional bows and arrows will not be able to produce great lethality beyond one hundred and fifty meters, but muskets can.”
"The next step is to launch an attack with cannons.”
"Attacking the enemy from thousands of meters away is impossible in the era of cold weapons.”
Zhu Youqi stopped and put the Lumi Gun back into Shi Kefa's hand. Then he pulled out the sword at his waist and said,""In a war with cold weapons, our soldiers need to get close to the enemy to kill the target. Whether it's lethality or efficiency, they can't be compared to a war with hot weapons.”
Shi Kefa's eyes were filled with doubt, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. He wanted to see for himself.
He could only understand what he saw.
"Can I…"
Before Shi Kefa could finish, Zhu Youqi nodded and took Shi Kefa to the artillery shooting range.
On the artillery shooting range, dozens of Hongyi cannons were lined up in a row. Under Zhu Youqi's command, they fired at the same time.
Deafening cannon fire rang out.
The target in the distance was instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.
Seeing this, Shi Kefa's entire body trembled. He immediately thought of the battlefield. If he led the Ming army to attack Zhu Youyou, he would have to suffer a round of bombardment before his army could even get close.
When they got closer, they would have to be shot at again.
At that time, even if the army got close to the enemy, how much combat power would they have left?
Shi Kefa opened his mouth as cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
Zhu Youqi turned his head and looked at Shi Kefa with a smile."Now, all my subordinates are equipped with Lumi Muskets. They can fire nonstop on the battlefield. Even if the enemy is several times stronger than me, it will be useless.”
Looking at Shi Kefa, whose eyes were filled with fear, Zhu Youzhen did not continue speaking. Instead, he quietly left, leaving Shi Kefa to stay on the shooting range.
A long time passed.
Only then did Shi Kefa slowly come to his senses. Just now, he saw Prince Heng leading his army south and effortlessly taking down the Ying Tian Prefecture.
He saw tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of warriors under King Heng's command holding their muskets, advancing step by step and shooting.
He saw hundreds of Hongyi Cannons lined up in a row, bombarding the Ying Tian Prefecture.
The tall and sturdy city walls were rendered useless under the bombardment of the cannons.
Shi Kefa's entire body trembled as he groaned in pain. He could no longer see any hope.
At this moment, as long as King Heng wanted to, he could take down Heaven Ying Prefecture at any time.
Shi Kefa turned around and walked back to the camp with trembling steps. He wanted to think about it.
It wasn't that the Darming Dynasty didn't have the Hong Yi Cannon and musket, but why wasn't there anyone who could use them to such an extent?
Shi Kefa didn't understand.
If it was the tenth year of Chongzhen, even if it was the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, how could the Ming Dynasty have fallen to such a state when His Majesty had such an army?
The surroundings were quiet. Even when Shi Kefa was led into the room specially prepared for him by Wang Xiaoliang, he still did not wake up.
He just sat there motionlessly.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that a series of urgent whistles rang out, waking Shi Kefa from the terrifying scene.
Shi Kefa slowly stood up with bloodshot eyes and walked out of the door.
Groups of warriors running wildly in the spacious camp were all reflected in his eyes.
Under the leadership of the company commanders and battalion commanders, the soldiers began to move out slowly and began their morning exercise.
Shi Kefa asked himself, would the Ming army know?
No!
Shi Kefa's eyes suddenly became clear. He turned around and went back to his room, falling asleep.
Around them, the political commissar and political instructor who had been observing Shi Kefa all this while immediately smiled.
Shi Kefa's plan was already half complete.
The remaining half would be completed by Shi Kefa himself.
It wasn't until dawn that Shi Kefa slowly woke up from his sleep. Chen Xiao, the guard who was sent to follow Shi Kefa and answer his questions, immediately said,"Sir, do you want to have breakfast?"
Shi Kefa nodded and followed Chen Xiao to the cafeteria.
When he arrived at the entrance of the cafeteria, Shi Kefa was shocked by the shocking scene in the cafeteria.
There was a sea of people. What surprised Shi Kefa the most was that Prince Heng was among them.
Holding the wooden plate, he followed the crowd bit by bit. The dazzling array of food in front of him once again made him feel different.
"Is the food like this every day?" Shi Kefa asked.
"Sometimes it's better." Chen Xiao nodded slightly.”
Shi Kefa raised his head and looked around. Then, he lowered his head and swallowed the food in front of him.
In the afternoon, Chen Xiao inadvertently brought Shi Kefa past the soldiers 'training ground. In the evening, he brought Shi Kefa to participate in the daily seminar.
Gradually, Shi Kefa became more and more silent.
Only when Emperor Hongguang's decree was delivered did Shi Kefa leave the military camp and head to the government office.
In the government office, Shi Kefa slowly opened the imperial edict and placed it in front of Zhu Youyou."Prince Heng, His Majesty has agreed to all your requests.”
"In a few days, a million taels of silver and grain will be sent from Ying Tian to Huai An.”
"At the same time, His Majesty will also issue a decree to appoint you as the governor of Shandong and Huai 'an.”
Looking at the imperial edict in front of him, Zhu You Xin nodded slowly, but his expression gradually became serious.""There is one thing that I must first make clear to you and the Imperial Court.”
"The army under my command listens to orders.”
Shi Kefa looked at the serious Zhu Youxin and nodded helplessly in agreement.
At this point, who could the Imperial Court command?
Even if he didn't agree, what could he do?
He thought about everything he had seen and experienced over the past few days.
Shi Kefa felt fear for no reason.
If this world fell into the hands of King Heng, with the battle strength displayed by his army, he would be able to defeat King Heng.
