    Looking at Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi looked at each other with a bit of helplessness on their faces. Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "What about the second possibility? After all, Jiannu lost 30,000 people in Zunhua City last time. This time  I'm afraid they won't take the risk again, right? They're just here to rob, not to attack us. The risk is too great!" Lu Xiangsheng seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He glanced at the two men gratefully and nodded lightly.  , smiled and said: "Since the purpose of establishing slaves is only to plunder, it is actually much simpler. The best place for them to plunder is North Korea. The risk is small and it is much easier to plunder." Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi looked at each other.  , the two people laughed together, obviously they had thought of this a long time ago.  After pondering for a moment, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the two people and said with a slight hesitation: "No matter what Jiannu does, it doesn't matter. What matters is how we do it!" Nodding with satisfaction, Sun Chengzong looked at Lu Xiangsheng with a smile on his face.  , eyes full of satisfaction.  I am becoming more and more satisfied with this disciple. Not only is his martial arts superb, he is also very resourceful. This is a true combination of both civil and military skills.  "Actually, it's very simple. When soldiers come, they will cover up the water and the earth. There is nothing to say. Military affairs are sometimes very simple. Last time when the slaves invaded the Mongolian tribes, we had no one. Now that we have strong soldiers and horses, there is a lot of room for change.  A lot!" Xiong Tingbi held his hands on the crenellations of the city wall, with a hint of hope in his eyes, and his hands seemed to be shaking because of too much force.  "Ever since the Sarhu, the Ming army has been in decline, and a lot of land in Liaodong has been lost. The bigger the slaves are, the stronger they are. The Mongolian Tatars are eyeing them, and the imperial court is also fighting against dissenters. It has reached a critical stage of survival!" Sun Chengzong's face  With emotion, there was a hint of excitement in his tone, and a hint of relaxation in his voice.  Nodding in agreement, Xiong Tingbi said with emotion: "Yes! I have been in Liaodong for many years and came all the way from Saarhu. I was really powerless at that time. Although I had the power to kill the enemy, there was always a feeling of powerlessness in my heart.  The feeling of heaven." Standing aside indifferently, Lu Xiangsheng once again thought of his parents, who were not afraid of death but died in the hands of traitors.  It is the greatest tragedy that a general cannot die in battle.  My father's death was not worth it, and I'm afraid he was not willing to die either.  "My heart is full of ambitions to serve the country. I have never had the opportunity to display it before. I have never thought that today, Liaodong will once again have strong soldiers and horses." Sun Chengzong looked in the direction of the capital with a slightly excited expression.  Nodding slowly, Xiong Tingbi said in agreement: "When I was escorted to Beijing that day, I was completely despairing. I didn't expect that I would be able to return to Liaodong later. I can only repay the emperor's kindness by dying." "Your Majesty.  I sincerely admire the great treasure who ascended the throne at a young age. He eradicated cronies as soon as he ascended the throne, rectified the court, purged officials, and appointed talents. I sincerely admire him. I believe that given time, the emperor will definitely work hard to revive the Ming Dynasty!  One day, we will sweep the caves and pacify the Jiannu!" Sun Chengzong said with a hint of determination on his face: "I believe that day is not far away!"  This is an opportunity for us. In the battle of Sarhu, Kaiyuan and Tieling were lost, which made the Jurchens and Mongolia become one. This time, Kaiyuan and Tieling must be taken back." Xiong Tingbi's eyes were filled with hatred.  I still can't let go of the Battle of Saarhu.  Although the two people spoke without a trace of murderous intent and their tone was very gentle, Lu Xiangsheng still had a feeling of blood boiling.  He firmly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, wishing that he could compete with Jiannu at this moment.  "By the way, Fei Bai, have the cavalry equipment arrived? The Ministry of War sent an official letter a few days ago, saying that a new batch of muskets is coming. These are used to equip the cavalry. They will arrive in the next few days!" Sun Chengzong relayed  Looking over his shoulder at Xiong Tingbi, he frowned and asked.  "My lord, the things have arrived, a total of 10,000 pieces. It is said that they are the new muskets owned by the Imperial Firearms Factory." Although he said this, there was no happy expression on Xiong Tingbi's face, but a trace of worry.  Seeing Xiong Tingbi¡¯s expression, a trace of doubt flashed across Sun Chengzong¡¯s face. Emperor Tianqi highly praised this new type of musket. It was said that it was much better than the previous shotgun. Is there any problem?  After pondering for a moment, Sun Chengzong smiled indifferently and said softly: "Fei Bai, what do you have to say? Is it because the thing is not easy to use? It is easy to explode?" Shaking his head gently, Xiong Tingbi quickly waved his hand and led  He said with some helplessness: "Of course not. I heard that the firearms factory uses a production method called assembly line. Each craftsman is only responsible for making one part. If the part is not up to standard, there will be no way to assemble it later, and  Firearms factories pay craftsmen on a piece-by-piece basis, the more they make., the more wages the craftsmen will earn, so the previous situation will no longer exist!  "Obviously Xiong Tingbi knows a lot about the firearms factory, and this is also the information he carefully inquired about. Nodding, Sun Chengzong naturally knew these things, but why did Xiong Tingbi look like this? Then he said, "Then why does Fei Bai look like this?  If you have anything to say, it¡¯s okay to say it!  " After pondering for a moment, Xiong Tingbi shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a hint of helplessness: "My lord, I asked someone to bring a few guns and put them down below. Why don't you and I go take a look together?  "Although he was curious, since Xiong Tingbi was unwilling to say it, Sun Chengzong could not force him. He nodded and walked towards the city. Without stopping at all, when he arrived at the school military field, someone had already prepared it, and there were targets in the distance.  There were ten jet-black muskets on the wooden shelf on one side. This was a type of musket that no one had ever seen before. The gun was five feet long, and the jet-black barrel exuded a cold feeling when it stood up.  At first glance, they looked like exquisite muskets. After seeing these new muskets, Sun Chengzong immediately understood why Xiong Tingbi was hesitant. Such large muskets were not suitable for equipping cavalry at all. According to the rate of fire of muskets, a cavalry battle would only take a moment.  After one shot, the musket turned into a fire stick. After looking at Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chengzong didn't say anything. He turned to look at Lu Xiangsheng and said with a smile: "Jiandou, go try it and take a look at this new musket.  What's the difference.  " Lu Xiangsheng's face was naturally eager to try. He nodded and strode towards the gun rack. An official on the side bowed respectfully to Lu Xiangsheng and reached out to hand over a loaded musket. "  When he took it over, Lu Xiangsheng was slightly stunned. The original musket seemed to weigh about fifteen kilograms, and the musket in his hand only weighed ten kilograms. Lu Xiangsheng wrinkled again as he turned the gun up and down.  Brows, there is no match rope on this musket, let alone ignition. He looked at an official on the side and asked: "What's your name?"  What is the official position?  The man gave a respectful salute and said with a smile on his face: "Zhang Mao, the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs, is now working in the firearms factory."  "Seemingly seeing Lu Xiangsheng's doubts, Zhang Mao continued: "Sir, this new type of musket does not need to be ignited, just pull the trigger!  "As he spoke, Zhang Mao pointed to the location of the trigger and slowly took a step back. Nodding slightly, Lu Xiangsheng slowly picked up the gun and gently pulled the trigger at the target in the distance.  There was a crisp gunshot, and a hole suddenly appeared in the target in the distance. Lu Xiangsheng stood there blankly with his gun in hand, with shock on his face. Sun Chengzong walked over and patted him gently.  Lu Xiangsheng looked over his shoulder and said with a smile: "The emperor said that this new musket has a range of twenty feet. I didn't believe it at first, but now I finally believe it.  With this new type of musket, our Ming army is better able to fight!  " Looking back at Zhang Mao, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Master Zhang, is it much easier to load gunpowder with this new type of musket?  " "Sir, yes, this kind of musket is much easier to load!  "Zhang Mao took a musket, took out a fur-wrapped projectile from the belt he wanted to see, and loaded it along the muzzle of the gun. After playing with it for a few times, Zhang Mao smiled and said to Sun Chengzong: "Sir  , then the loading is complete. Compared with the previous muskets, this type of breaking gun is loaded twice, and the musket may not be fully loaded once!  " Smiling and taking the musket over, Sun Chengzong groped the barrel gently, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zhang Mao: "Master Zhang, I think this type of broken-hair gun is more suitable for infantry use, why does the Ministry of War's writing say  Want to assemble cavalry?  "Sun Chengzong did not mention Emperor Tianqi. No matter what the reason was, it would be better for the Ministry of War to take the blame. Hearing Sun Chengzong's question, Zhang Mao was slightly startled, and then there was a bit of embarrassment on his face, a little helpless.  He said: "Sir, this is indeed a musket for infantry. As for the writing of the Ministry of War, it was a mistake.  Because the firearms factory had to cast a large number of cannons for warships and the task was arduous, the casting of muskets was somewhat neglected.  The muskets originally cast for cavalry were cast into muskets for infantry. Originally sent to Liaodong were 10,000 cavalry muskets, while the infantry muskets were equipped for the Beijing camp.  Now we can only send these 10,000 infantry troops to Liaodong with break-guns. I hope you won't be offended.  " Sun Chengzong nodded slowly. He didn't say anything. The advantages of this kind of musket were very obvious. It would be good to have 10,000 of them. Xiong Tingbi turned his head to one side, and Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Fei Bai, this matter  It's up to you to select the sergeants in the army and form a divine machine battalion of ten thousand people.  With this magic machine battalion, Lao?The certainty is even greater!  " "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to these good guns!"  "Xiong Tingbi said with a smile on his face with excitement.
