The Prodigal Son of the Empire

The reason why it is called so is because there is his most secret weapon here...Gunpowder!

At the same time, the location of the Shenji Battalion is also here!

This military base is not in the urban area, but in a village outside Xinfeng City.

It's very hidden here.

There are many traps arranged around, and at the same time, there are Tianluo tribesmen and family private soldiers guarding.

Enough for safety.

Wang Kang came with Yuan Yan, the leader of the Tianluo tribe.

Compared with before, the scale here has also expanded, including gunpowder production, firearms production, and a special testing ground, etc.!

In order to ensure strictness.

This place is relatively independent. In terms of food and materials, all the materials needed are delivered. Unless necessary personnel, they can only enter and not exit.

Listening to Yuan Yan's report, Wang Kang nodded in satisfaction.

This is also what he set up before, and now it seems that the execution is relatively good.

"Master, you are here."

Wang Kang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, he still had the air of a soldier.

His name is Tian Hong.

He is an old man from Fuyang Earl's Mansion, who was the first to follow Wang Dingchang, and he can be completely trusted.

At present, he is in charge of the military base, and of course he is only in charge of security.

In order to prevent leakage of secrets, or a problem of dominance by one person.

Wang Kang set up multiple responsible persons with full-time and dedicated responsibilities, which can form mutual constraints and be more secure.

"Ah."

Wang Kang nodded, and then followed Tian Hong to start his inspection.

"It doesn't take long, the changes here are great!"

Wang Kang looked around, and the area alone had expanded a lot.

"When you left, you wrote down the detailed development direction, and we all progress according to your requirements."

Tian Hong smiled and said: "We have prepared more surprises for you."

"Oh, really? Let's wait and see."

Then they came to an open field, this is a shooting range, and there are still many people practicing on the shooting range!

"gather!"

Seeing Wang Kang walk in, another person yelled, and immediately the scattered team formed a neat formation.

"Report to the chief instructor, the Shenji Battalion has assembled, waiting for your inspection!"

Wang Chen, the leader of the Shenji Battalion, said solemnly to Wang Kang.

Wang Kang didn't speak, and looked at the soldiers in front of him, all of whom were familiar with them.

Because they all came out of the first batch of recruit training camps, it can be said that they were trained by Wang Kang, so they also called Wang Kang the chief instructor.

"Looking at the battle, it seems to be prepared."

Wang Kang smiled and said, "I heard that you have prepared a surprise for me?"

"Then let's get started!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chen responded, and then gestured, the team dispersed immediately, and a wave of soldiers went to a row of rooms next to the shooting range, and pushed out a big guy in a short while.

Although it was covered with oilcloth, Wang Kang recognized it at a glance through the bumpy shape...

Chapter 951 The Most Powerful Weapon in Field Battles!

Surprise, indeed a surprise!

Wang Kang looked at Tian Hong in astonishment, for such things were made.

He really didn't expect it.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion also tore off the tarpaulin, and everything under it was exposed.

It was a two-wheeled vehicle that looked like a flat plate, but the wheelbase was very small, and there was a groove to form a shelf. From the bottom to the top, there was a cylindrical iron tube more than one meter long. It looked like a magnified car from the outside. version of the firecrackers!

And it also has a new name, Artillery!

Tian Hong explained: "This kind of artillery is built according to the drawings you left when you left before. It weighs 250 six kilograms and is about three feet six inches long. Measured with a Kang ruler, it is 110 five centimeters, and it is installed in the supporting gun. In the car."

"Because it doesn't have a lot of weight and is easy to move, it's very suitable for field battles!"

At this time, these cannon carriages were also pushed over, neatly arranged, a total of ten.

Wang Kang walked over to take a closer look.

This kind of cannon, also known as the General Cannon, appeared in the Ming Dynasty and was widely used. The whole type has three specifications.

Caliber, weight varies.

The one in front of us is the smallest size, and because of this, it is not too bulky, easy to carry, strong in handling, and is mostly used in field battles!

When Wang Kang was building Xinfeng City, he presided over the creation of firecrackers and established the Shenji Camp, but when he left, he left a large number of drawings for the craftsmen to study and build.

So far it seems to have worked.

In the history of China, the use of firearms was very early.

In the Song Dynasty, it had already appeared in the army. After the Yuan Dynasty, it developed to its peak in the Ming Dynasty, and firearms began to be applied on a large scale on the battlefield.

There are many types of firearms.

With complete blueprints, it is not difficult to create...

"Try it."
