The 1,500-man Divine Machine Battalion could not use two thousand muskets. Yang Song said to Zhuang Wei: "Send 1,500 muskets to the military camp outside the city, and send another cannon from the artillery brigade."

"Yes, lord, I will accept the order!" Zhuang Wei was in charge of the Equipment Bureau. No matter what Yang Song had plans, he just needed to complete Yang Song's orders accurately and in time.

After everything was ready, Yang Song led Li Jing, deputy director of the Military Department, Zhuang Wei, the Equipment Bureau, Yang Ren, the War Bureau, and Liu Ji, the monarch's military advisor, to the exclusive military camp of the Shenji Camp next to the Martyrs' Garden outside the north city of Tianqi City.

"See you, Master! The 1,500 people from Shenji Camp have gathered." A young officer in his thirties stood at the front of the array in the school field and saluted Yang Song on the stage.

"No gift." Yang Song nodded to the officer, and then said, "Yan Ren, how are the soldiers' situation?"

The officer suddenly became the battalion commander of the second battalion of the former infantry brigade, and was the leader of the long-distance attacking formation of the guard battalion.

Because he has command experience in strong crossbows, bows and arrows, crossbows, artillery, cavalry and other troops, Yan Ren was appointed as the commander of the newly built Shenji Battalion.

Although it was transferred from the main army to a newly built battalion, this battalion was directly under the monarch, and its immediate superior was Yang Song, which represented Yang Song's trust in him, and it was also considered an uprising into a close minister of the monarch and his future was limitless.

"Your Majesty! All the soldiers of the Shenji Camp are ready to meet the challenges at any time." Yan Ren's heart was full of excitement and doubt, but since Yang Song had asked questions, he had to answer seriously.

Yan Ren led his camp well at Shanhaiguan and suddenly received the order of the king, not the order of general, but the order of the king directly from the king.

The content of the Junling was to transfer him back to Tianqi City to serve as the commander of a newly built direct battalion by the monarch. When he listened to the reading of the Jinyiwei, he was stunned on the spot and did not react for a long time.

Yan Ren, who reacted, became very excited even with his usual indifferent mentality. This was a huge surprise!

Until now, Yan Ren still remembers what the Captain of the Jinyiwei who read the Jun Ling said to him: "Congratulations to Lieutenant Colonel Yan, we will work directly under the Lord's men in the future. Please ask Lieutenant Colonel Yan to take care of him in the future."

After being excited, Yan Ren bowed to Lu Su who came to witness with him, and then went directly to the main account of the infantry brigade to meet Di Qing and bid farewell to him.

But when he spent three days riding to Linhai Town, then traveling from the sea to Tianqi City, he was quite surprised after meeting Yang Song.

He only knew that Yang Songxin had formed a battalion called "Shenji Camp", but he didn't know what kind of army it was.

When he came to the exclusive military camp of Shenji Camp that was not long after the newly built was a group of warriors without any weapons and equipment, even himself was no exception.

Even though these soldiers did not have any weapons and equipment and were only wearing black battle robes, he could tell at a glance that these soldiers were all elite soldiers who were experienced in many battles.

Finally, under the leadership of five captains and officers, he became familiar with the composition of the soldiers in the camp, three hundred light cavalry, nine hundred strong crossbowmen and another three hundred various warriors.

After understanding the situation in the military camp, even if there were no weapons and equipment, Yan Ren wanted to practice first so as to initially establish his prestige.

Until now, Yang Song brought a large group of people and a large number of supplies to the military camp. Yan Ren still did not know his specific task, although he had repeatedly guessed during this period.

"Very good." Yang Song was very satisfied that Yan Ren did not slacken any during this period, and he passed his preliminary test - Yang Song's intelligence system is everywhere!

"Zhuang Wei, send the weapons and equipment down." Yang Song turned his head and tapped Zhuang Wei behind him, and ordered.

Taking advantage of the time of distributing weapons and equipment, Li Jing stepped forward and stood behind Yang Song halfway and said, "Justice, are these muskets really that powerful?"

During this period, Li Jing, as the deputy director of the Military Department, also knew that Yang Song ordered the Equipment Bureau to make a batch of muskets. It was said that it was a very powerful weapon, but because Yang Song issued a confidentiality order, he, the deputy director, did not see the specific power of this weapon.

"Pharmacist, don't worry, you'll know after a while." Yang Song smiled mysteriously at Li Jing's inquiry and signaled Li Jing to be calm.

When the soldiers received the newly issued "new weapons", although they were all wondering what this weapon with an iron pipe and a curved wooden support was, they all stood still seriously on the surface.

After seeing everyone receiving the musket, Yang Song said to Wang Wei, the commander of the Jinyiwei behind him: "Wang Wei, go and demonstrate the usage of muskets."

"Yes, I obey the order!" Wang Wei, as the commander of the Jinyiwei who was responsible for guarding the safety of the monarch, was the first to receive the musket. He had been training for several months and was able to use this front-mounted smoothbore flintlock musket very skillfully.

Wang Wei was carrying a musket and wearing armor. After receiving the order, he walked directly to the shooting range beside him.

He stood there a hundred meters before the shooting range, put the muzzle on his back facing upwards to the ground, held the muzzle with his left hand, took out a paper tube with one finger long and thumb-thick from the leather armor with his right hand, and used his mouth to tear the red end of the paper tube, took out a round small lead ball, and then poured all the maroon black gunpowder inside the tube into the barrel. After pouring it, he pinched the paper tube into a ball and stuffed it into the muzzle, and then put the lead balls into it.

Put it into the muzzle, then take off the iron strip below the musket, stab the lead balls and the paper ball below to the bottom, put the bullet rod back into the slot below the musket. Finally, Wang Wei put the musket flat, took a sharp-cornered vessel from his waist, poured out a little gunpowder into the fire door of the flintlock machine, moved the flintlock machine hammer, held the gun body in front with his left hand, held the gun handle with his right hand, pressed the buttstock tightly on his right shoulder, and aimed at the front.

It took half a minute to finish a whole set of actions, which is already relatively fast. If you are a novice, the process will be longer.

Wang Wei pulled the trigger heavily, and the flintlock hammer hit the iron sheet above the fire door, and a spark appeared. The spark ignited the gunpowder in the fire door. The gunpowder ignited the medicine room in the gun chamber along the fire transmission hole. The gunpowder in the medicine room burned instantly, producing a large amount of gas, pushing the tightly sealed projectiles sprayed out along the barrel and headed straight for the target pointed at the muzzle.

With a loud "bang~!", a large piece of smoke came out of the musket, and the lead ball that was invisible to the naked eye hit the target, leaving a small dark round hole in the target.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Wei fired two more shots, each shot interval of about half a minute. After the shooting, he put away the gun and returned to Yang Song's side, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty! The shooting demonstration is over!"

"Very good." Yang Song smiled and praised Wang Wei, then shouted to the warriors in the audience: "This is your new weapon, the full name is the front-mounted smoothbore flintlock musket. You can also call it a musket directly. You have also seen the power. This is a very powerful weapon."
