"Boom ~" The three rows of soldiers took turns to move forward, and the flintlock rifle in their hands kept firing. The loading and shooting were very smooth. The shooting speed was almost doubled compared to before. The scarecrow in front was hit by the bullets and fell to the ground.

After the musketeers approached the targets, a group of soldiers suddenly rushed out of the last row, and grenades were thrown in front. Only the sound of "boom boom boom" explosion sounded. After the smoke of gunpowder, the target in front had completely turned into pieces.

"Okay!" A middle-aged man in front of Mu Sheng shouted excitedly when he saw this, his face full of excitement. He was Hou Muying, who had just arrived in the capital this morning.

I saw Mu Ying's body was medium-sized, but very strong, with a square face and wide forehead, a pair of big eyes and a pair of short beards under her jaw. At this time, her face was flushed with excitement, and she looked like she had drunk a few kilograms of old wine.

"Sheng'er, you're doing a good job. This musketman is much better than my subordinates!" Mu Ying then turned around and looked at his son with admiration.

"Thank you for your praise, but my subordinates are just relying on the use of new firearms. If it comes to actual combat, they are far from comparable to the elite soldiers of his father's hundred battles!" Mu Sheng also looked excited, but he still tried his best to keep himself humble.

"Brother Mu, congratulations on having an outstanding son!" Zhu Biao next to him also walked forward with a smile.

"Haha~, Your Highness is joking. Although Sheng'er is good, he wouldn't be able to do these flintlocks without the flintlocks provided by the court!" Mu Ying also smiled at this time, and then he asked again with concern, "Your Highness, when will this flintlock be equipped for us in Yunnan?"

"You have to ask Li Bao for reading this!" Zhu Biao said, pointing to Li Jiedao, who was explaining muskets to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi not far away.

Looking at Li Jie so young, Mu Ying still couldn't believe that he was the one who improved gunpowder and invented the flintlock rifle.

"Li Bandu, this musket is so powerful. Can you give me one?" Zhu Yunxi's face turned red with excitement, and he asked Li Jie with his fists tightly clenched. Since the musket sounded just now, he was in a state of excitement, and he even wanted to come out and fire a few shots in person.

"Soldiers are weapons. If you want a musket, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?" Before Li Jie could answer, Zhu Yunwen next to him gave his younger brother a blank look.

"I...I do. If you don't like it, it doesn't mean I don't like it!" Zhu Yunxi actually refuted Zhu Yunwen very rarely. You must know that he has always been timid and is inferior to Zhu Yunwen in everything in his studies, so he is still a little awe of Zhu Yunwen. Unless the other party wants to compete with him for his sister, he will generally not have conflicts with Zhu Yunwen.

"You... are unreasonable!" Zhu Yunwen didn't expect his younger brother to get angry at him, and he was also a little annoyed at the moment, but in front of so many people, he didn't dare to scold people, so he had to shake his sleeves and stay away from Zhu Yunhe.

"Your Highness, don't think about muskets. Even if I agree, the prince will not let you take it back to the palace." Li Jie also replied with a smile at this time, but he did not expect that Zhu Yunyu would become interested in military affairs.

At this moment, Mu Ying also strode over to Li Jie and bowed to him: "Li Banju, I don't know how the output of these flintlock rifles is. When can the original mesh gun be replaced?"

Li Jie also respected Mu Ying very much and immediately replied: "Report to the Queen of Xiping, the flintlock rifle has begun to be manufactured on a large scale, but the output is still limited. Moreover, Your Majesty means to equip the border troops in the north first, and the south may be later."

Zhu Yuanzhang himself was an excellent military commander. He knew clearly that the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty was in the northern grasslands. Even if the remnants of the Mongolian Yuan had been beaten by the Ming army and ran away, they still could not be taken lightly, so in terms of military terms, he would try to tilt to the north as much as possible.

"The military is tight in the north, but it is not easy to go south. Especially those natives, they will jump out of several rebellions from time to time. They have no cavalry and muskets are very lethal to them. If our army is equipped with flintlock rifles, it will definitely be able to quell the rebellion, and Yunnan can settle down as soon as possible!" Mu Ying sighed at the end of his speech.

Mu Ying said that it was not easy, because Yunnan was located on the border, and his rule over it was very weak in the Tang and Song dynasties, let alone the Yuan Dynasty. After the Ming Dynasty was under the presidency, many local natives were unwilling to surrender. Mu Ying suppressed Yunnan with his army and wanted to manage the place. It was said that he worked hard and made great contributions. This was also the main reason why he was able to be king after his death.

"Brother Mu, Li Jie can't make the decision in this way, so why not do this? In two days, we will go to see our father and ask our father to draw a batch of flintlock spears to equip it to Yunnan first." Zhu Biao also stepped forward to comfort him at this time.

"That's all!" Mu Ying nodded when she heard this, and then he looked at Li Jie with some curiosity and asked, "When I came, I heard Li Fan read a big ball, and it flew into the sky. I wonder where the big ball was. Can I see you?"

"This is easy to deal with. The hot air balloon is in the Military Weapons Bureau. We broke it when we landed before and are being repaired these days." Li Jie immediately smiled. He knew that the other party would be interested in the hot air balloon. Even if Mu Ying didn't say it, Zhu Biao would definitely mention it.

Sure enough, Zhu Biao next to him also clapped his high-fives when he heard this: "I have wanted to see this hot air balloon for a long time, let's go!"

When Zhu Yunxiu heard that he was going to see the hot air balloon, he became even more excited. Even Zhu Yunwen showed an interesting expression at this time and followed his father quietly. But Mu Sheng didn't say anything, because when Li Jie controlled the hot air balloon, he asked him to help, so he was also one of the first people in the group.

At that moment, Li Jie brought Zhu Biao, Mu Ying and others to the Military Weapon Bureau. Li Zhu had known that they were coming for a long time, so he personally led Zhu Biao and the others and introduced the Military Weapon Bureau to them.

The last group of people came to the place where the hot air balloons were made, but they saw Yuan Jianzheng, Mahama, Guo Zhenglin and other officials from the Imperial Heaven Supervision led the crowd out to salute Zhu Biao. Since flying that day, all of their Imperial Heaven Office officials have gone to the Military Weapon Bureau and personally participated in the maintenance of the hot air balloons. First, they were learning how to manufacture the hot air balloons, and second, they also wanted to go to heaven again after the hot air balloons were repaired.

When Li Jie and Zhu Biao and the others saw the hot air balloon, they only saw the hot air balloon that had been dismantled into parts. Because the last time they landed was too fierce, not only did the airbag break several big holes, but the most critical burner fell into pieces, and the hanging basket was even more useless, so it would take some time to repair it.

However, although the hot air balloon was broken, Li Jie was still prepared because he had made several hot air balloon models before, and it could fly when it was lit. Li Jie used his appearance to explain to everyone the principles of the hot air balloon and some of his experiences when flying into the sky. This also made Zhu Biao and others feel that their horizons are broadened and they have learned a lot.

Li Jie was also paying attention to Zhu Yunxiu when he was explaining, but he found that the little guy's eyes were glowing when he looked at the hot air balloons. He was even more attentive when he listened to his explanation. In fact, not only him, but even Zhu Yunwen was also very interested in hot air balloons. After all, the world is full of curiosity for the children. The hot air balloons can bring people to heaven, which will certainly arouse their interest.

Seeing Zhu Yunxi's performance, Li Jie finally felt relieved. This kid is at least able to save him. As for Zhu Yunwen next to him, although he performed worse than Zhu Yunxi, it was a pity that Li Jie had given up on him in his heart, so Li Jie was only going to give up on Zhu Yunxi's next time. Who would let him have a sister?
