The officers in the small training ground saw Gu Dayong and Zhou Chong coming together, and they stopped shooting archery. Before Gu Dayong could introduce them, they saw the Jinyiwei officer with excellent archery skills and walked forward with a smile.

: "You are here, Eunuch Gu. Your Majesty is waiting for you!"

When the other party said this, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Chong next to Gu Dayong, and saluted again: "This must be Mr. Zhou Chong, please. Qian Ning, commander of the Jinyiwei, please pay homage to Mr. Zhou!"

"Qian Ning!" Zhou Chong was also shocked when he heard this name, and at the same time he could not help but look at the other party. The Zhengde Dynasty had three powerful ministers, namely Liu Jin, Qian Ning and Jiang Bin. There were quite a record of Qian Ning in history.

There are many records about his good shooting skills. I just saw Qian Ning's archery technique. It seems that the records in the history books are not wrong. And now Liu Jin is dead, which is the golden period of Qian Ning's rise. Unfortunately, he later

Colluded with King Ning, he was finally killed by Jiang Bin, who he recommended himself.

Zhou Chong recalled the historical records about Qian Ning in his mind, but on the surface he smiled slowly and said with a grace: "It turned out to be Commander Qian. Zhou had heard Wu Shan talk about the adults for a long time, and he was very concerned about the adults in his heart.

I admire you, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet you. Today I finally saw the style of my lord!"

Qian Ning was extremely happy about Zhou Chong's compliment. He immediately said a few more polite words to Zhou Chong, and then introduced the people around him. As a result, when he introduced the positions of the young Jinyiwei officers,

But Zhou Chong was shocked because these people were either commanding the commander or commander, or at least the politicians. It can be said that almost all the officials of the fourth rank of the Jinyiwei were here. And the ages of these people

They are all similar to Qian Ning. The oldest is about thirty years old.

In fact, what Zhou Chong didn't know was that Qian Ning was relatively young. After he was promoted to commander of the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei had some opinions about him being in charge of power at such a young age. In order to establish his prestige, Qian Ning dismissed several times in a row.

The senior officials of the Jinyiwei who opposed him also replaced all the top management of the Jinyiwei with young people like him. In this way, no one dared to point fingers at him anymore.

After Qian Ning and Zhou Chong were polite for a few words, they immediately took them to see Zhengde. As a result, Zhou Chong followed Qian Ning toward the direction of the cannon test. He walked about a mile and finally saw the cannon test.

In the place, two Flang machine cannons were fixed on the gun mount, and were constantly bombarding a built-up city wall in front. The wall was covered with scars by shells, and the surface was covered with cracks, and even

Some shells were embedded directly on the city wall. It seemed that they would be knocked down by artillery in no time.

A few dozen steps behind the two cannons, a group of Jinyiwei guards were standing there protecting a young man in armor. Because the distance was far, Zhou Chong could not see the young man clearly for the time being, but he must be the one who was the one who was in the air.

The absurd and famous Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty!

A tall and handsome man with a handsome face was Zhou Chong's first impression of Zhengde. He only knew that Zhu Houzhao was very young, but he didn't expect that the other party was still a handsome guy. If he were in the future, he would definitely be qualified to be an idol star.

Moreover, Emperor Zhengde is wearing armor and looks a little more heroic. If it weren't for knowing it in advance, Zhou Chong wouldn't believe it anyway. The heroic young man in front of him was absurd Zhengde.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao also saw Zhou Chong and the others. He saw his eyes swept over Gu Dayong, Qian Ning and others, and finally frozen on Zhou Chong. A few shimmers suddenly burst out from his eyes, and at the same time, he began to look up and down. Zhou Chong even showed a look of excitement on his face, but he soon covered it up.

"Zhou Chong, please come to see Your Majesty! Long live long live long!" Zhou Chong came to Emperor Zhengde, who was dressed in military uniform and knelt down and bowed. In fact, he was very resentful of the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping. In addition to being married, he gave Wang Lunhe a gift before. Aunt Wang had kneeled before, and this was the first time he had kneeled down to someone else, and the other party was a young man who was not much older than him, which made Zhou Chong very uncomfortable.

"Haha, this is not a palace. Zhou Chong, you don't have to give this gift. Quickly put your body in a flat position. Please take a look at these last few cannons. I have someone bombarded the city wall in front with cannons for a few days. Today, I will finally fall. !” Emperor Zhengde looked at Zhou Chong and seemed very happy. He laughed and helped Zhou Chong up and said.

Just as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking and Zhou Chong had just gotten up, he heard a "boom" sound in front of him, and the city wall, which was regarded as a target, could not be supported anymore. The last shell collapsed suddenly.

Seeing this, Emperor Zhengde laughed happily again, and even pulled Zhou Chong forward regardless of etiquette, as if he was about to check the collapse of the city wall himself. As for Zhu Houzhao's actions, Gu Dayong and Qian Ning behind him were When I looked at each other, I couldn't help but show a cautious expression in my eyes, and my heart's evaluation of Zhou Chong was even higher.

Zhou Zhong couldn't help feeling flattered when Emperor Zhengde met for the first time, but he came from later generations and was not as awe of the imperial power as people of this era, so after the shock, he soon became aware of the emperor's power. Then he calmed down and followed Zhu Houzhao to check the collapsed city wall together. He also quickly discovered that not far from this city wall, there was a wall that had been collapsed long ago. It seemed that It was also bombarded with cannons.

I saw Emperor Zhengde looking in the ruins of the city wall for a while, and finally pointed to the wall that had been collapsed not far away and excitedly said: "Zhou Chong, look at the city wall over there, that's what I asked. The gunner collapsed with our Ming Dynasty artillery. The size of this artillery shell is similar to the Folang cannon you sent. Although its power is stronger than the Folang cannon, its firing rate is extremely slow. The gunner spent a lot of money. The city wall was knocked down in four days, but the Flang machine you sent was fired several times that of the Ming cannon. It only took a day and a half to collapse the city wall. This shows that in terms of attack, these Flang machines The cannon is much stronger than the original artillery of the Ming Dynasty!”

Zhou Chong was surprised to hear that Emperor Zhengde actually used this method to measure the power of the two types of artillery, because he had only known that the Folang machine cannon was stronger than the Ming Dynasty cannon, but he could only use the speed of fire to do so. When he expressed it, he did not expect that Zhengde would use such an intuitive method to prove the advantages and disadvantages of the two types of artillery.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Although the power of the Flang machine cannon is lacking, the rate of fire is extremely fast. Therefore, it can not only make up for the lack of power, but also have some overall power. Strengthen, and the biggest advantage of this kind of artillery is that it is not easy to explode. This is a huge advantage for our Ming Dynasty when the iron quality is poor!"

The Folang machine cannon was one of the great gifts given to Zhengde by Zhou Chong. He naturally had to praise this cannon. Besides, what he said was the truth. I believe that with Zhengde's attention, this cannon would definitely be allowed to be in the Ming army.

It will be promoted soon.

Hearing Zhou Chong praises the advantages of the fact that the Flang machine cannon is not easy to explode, Zhengde nodded with satisfaction. In the past few days, he fired hundreds of shells in a row with two Flang machine cannons, but the two cannons are still intact. On the contrary,

The Ming artillery that was used to compare before was broken several times, so he also valued the advantages of the Flanger artillery very much.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. My Ming army has this powerful weapon. In the future, we will be able to drive the Tatars to Mobei in one fell swoop and recreate the bravery of His Majesty Chengzu back then!" Qian Ning also stepped forward to congratulate him.

As Zhengde's confidant, Qian Ning naturally understands that what Zhengde most hopes is to establish military achievements in the world. Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was smiling when he flattered. At that moment, Zhu Houzhao said, "Qian Ning, you are a little bit like this."

It's so heavy. His Majesty Chengzu defeated the remnant Yuan, who was still very powerful, and this allowed me to enjoy the peace of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. How dare I compare with Chengzu? But now the little prince of Tatar defeated the Wassai again.

Unifying the northern grasslands is definitely not good news for me, Daming. If I have the chance, I must defeat the Tatars in one fell swoop on the battlefield so that they will never dare to come to Fan again!”

When Emperor Zhengde spoke at the end, a firm look flashed in his eyes. Although he did not like to deal with the government and was also very playful, he had an unusual hobby for military affairs and even dreamed of leading troops to fight. Unfortunately

After all, he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and could not leave the capital easily. Of course, Emperor Zhengde in history finally ran to the front line of Xuanfu without authorization, and even fought with the little Tatar prince, and his troops were not superior.

The victory was won under the circumstances, which made the Tatars not dare to raise troops for several years and could only do business with the Ming Dynasty. However, the current Emperor Zhengde did not have the courage to escape from the capital.

However, although Emperor Zhengde said that he did not dare to compare with Chengzu, Qian Ning and Gu Dayong were shameless and flattered Emperor Zhengde, and they all praised Emperor Zhengde to heaven. If they were not afraid of Chengzu

If they were disrespectful, they probably would have praised Zhu Houzhao as a hundred times more wise than Zhu Di, and at this time, Zhu Houzhao showed a little intoxication in the flattery of everyone.

Listening to Qian Ning and others' flattery, Zhou Chong finally knew why history called Qian Ning and Gu Dayong the people who were flattering. Not to mention anything else, Emperor Zhengde listened to these people flattering every day, and he might really think he was very good in the end.

It's amazing, and naturally he won't realize his mistakes. No wonder Zhengde in history is so stupid, probably with the people around him.

In order to allow Zhengde Shao to absorb some spiritual opium, Zhou Chong suddenly spoke to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Caomin has another gift here, which also plays a huge role in the army. If used properly, it will not be worse than the Florian cannon.
