Chapter 490 Imperial Technology
"What should we do? Your Majesty has entrusted us with such an important matter. If we don't handle it well, won't we betray your trust and possibly embarrass you?"
Zhao Kaifeng whispered, fearing that the voice would be loud enough to be heard by the people next to him.
Luyou also shook his head slightly, feeling helpless.
Although he is here at the moment, his mind is completely immersed in his own knowledge reserves.
He had the same idea as Zhao Kaifeng, feeling that since this picture was designed by Ye Xuan, it must have a deeper meaning. If he could not straighten it out, it would undoubtedly leave a very bad impression in Ye Xuan's heart.
Moreover, if the celebration is delayed, it will be a huge trouble and even drag down Ye Xuan.
Both of them are people who have read a lot of poetry and books, and they often think more about things. At this moment, they are a little too pessimistic.
"Four Eight Three" saw the two people standing aside and muttered for a while, but never took any action. Following a tester Qianhu who came with him, he couldn't help but hesitate a little, wondering whether he should go over and take a look.
He had similar thoughts. In the distance, the eunuch who came with Zhu Xiongying was also suspicious at the moment, but he did not dare to speak.
Just when the two were in trouble, Zhao Kaifeng finally made up his mind.
He turned around and glanced at Shi Qianhu, then forced out a smile.
"Feng Qianhu, come and take a look at this."
He didn't say anything, but first called over the person named Feng.
Moreover, he deliberately ignored the word "test" and changed it to "Qianhu", which was also a good signal.
You must know that in the Ming Dynasty's army, the test of thousands of households means that the actual appointment has not yet been made, but is only in the assessment period.
His original position was only for a hundred households, but he was given the title of deputy for a thousand households.
It's the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the military establishment and other things are subject to change from time to time, so even if the Deputy Qianhu is appointed, no one will take it seriously.
But in today's world, literati have begun to rise, and warriors are gradually declining. If you want a good way out, it seems that the only way out is to become an official in the imperial examination, or to have a hereditary military position.
Therefore, what Feng Qianhu values most, and what he is most happy about, is whether he can successfully fulfill his duties as Qianhu and leave an official status for his useless children.
As for an official like Zhao Kaifeng, although he is not of high rank, he can still be regarded as a high-ranking official. You have already told him that suspicion is a kind of affirmation.
As long as you get things done, you will inevitably be praised when you return, and you may even successfully perform your duties.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Feng Qianhu responded and stepped forward quickly.
He glanced at the two of them and then spoke.
"Besides, sir, is there some use in getting a humble position?"
In fact, even though he asked, he already had some clues in his mind.
His background as a member of the Hundred Households was gained through fighting on the battlefield. Although he was not a high-ranking official, he did understand military affairs and the art of war. Naturally, it was obvious that what the two men were holding in their hands should be formation diagrams.
Zhao Kaifeng grinned and said: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Master Ye left a formation diagram before he went out and asked me to practice according to it. After all, we are not military attaches and don't understand this. After looking at it for a long time, we couldn't figure it out. The essentials, so I would like to ask you to help me with the details.”
When Feng Qianhu heard this, he couldn't help feeling a little disdainful.
In his view, these civil servants were just talking heads and relying on their background and other factors to obtain their current official positions. In fact, most of them were idiots.
Otherwise, how could you not even understand a formation diagram, and why would you ask me, a dabbler who has read several Books of Heaven, to read it with me?
You must know that military formations in the army have long been fixed and regulated. Although marching operations can be adjusted according to the situation, there are basically only a few formations.
However, while he felt contempt in his heart, his face showed a look of sincerity and fear.
"How dare you disobey the orders of these two gentlemen?"
As he said that, he took a step forward and was about to give instructions to let the two of them know what he was capable of.
But when he reached halfway, his hand suddenly froze.
He knew all the words on the picture, and the drawing method was standard, so he could understand it clearly.
But if he said that this formation could fight, he didn't believe it.
And he could vaguely see that this formation was actually used to surround someone. The real combat power was actually the small team built by these people in the circle.
According to Ye Xuan's formation diagram, these mobilized personnel will be in groups of five, spread out like petals, and cooperate with each other at a distance.
This design is quite clever, as it coincides with the small teams formed by the soldiers themselves when fighting in the military formation.
But the problem is that the weapons marked on it are only short sticks, and they have to practice concealment and try not to be exposed...
As one of the few middle- and low-level officers in the military who are known for their good tactics, Feng Qianhu is well aware of the difficulty involved.
And until now, he didn't understand why Ye Xuan designed this formation.
Feng Qianhu was still thinking, but Zhao Kaifeng and Lu You had already seen the clues.
The two looked at each other, feeling helpless in their hearts. Just when they wanted to comfort Feng Qianhu with a few words, Feng Qianhu said something that made the two of them wake up like a dream.
"Two adults, this formation is quite strange, but training is the most important thing. Maybe after practicing it, you will know the key! Why are we working behind closed doors here?"
Both of them are decent people, so they naturally knew that this was Feng Qianhu's excuse.
But now that the matter has come to an end, they also understand that instead of wasting time, it is better to give it a try, otherwise when Ye Xuan comes back, the image will be truly irreparable.
So, the two of them responded in unison and hurriedly urged Feng Qianhu to the side to form an array.
Because Yingtianfu's capital area is of great importance, military preparation drills are also organized on weekdays. Tian has already prepared for this open space and so on.
So soon, these thousand soldiers were gathered and began to drill.
As for Ye Xuan, after leaving Yingtian Mansion with Zhu Xiongying, he went directly to the Shenzao Bureau.
When he arrived at the place, Ye Xuan directly handed Zhu Xiongying to a trustworthy person and visited the Shenzhen Bureau.
As for himself, he found some craftsmen who were good at the research and development of firearms and gunpowder, and also gathered some people who mastered chemistry and other research.
Because the entire Divine Creation Bureau's attention is focused on steam engines, these people have long been less valued than before.
At this moment, being summoned by Ye Xuan, everyone was extremely excited, thinking that Ye Xuan was going to give them some amazing project.
However, when Ye Xuan opened his mouth, everyone was stunned.
"Everyone, what I want, whether it is range, speed, or safety, must be absolutely strictly controlled, and the time I can give is not much, everyone.
Do you have the confidence to show the world my Ming Dynasty’s imperial technology? Let the world know how exquisite my Ming Dynasty’s craftsmanship is?”
While speaking, Ye Xuan had already listed all his information on a blackboard.
