"Machine guns are different from grenades and landmines. Those are consumables, so even if they are used, they must be replenished in a timely manner. Machine guns, however, can be used continuously. The Bullseye Team will distribute 500 machine guns to each person. From now on, they will be responsible for the number of people they have. You will distribute the bullets, and I will provide all of them. However, they must carve their names on the guns at a fixed location. Each person will be responsible for one machine gun, regardless of whether it is used or maintained. Just like their bows, where the gun is, the person is there! At any time, you are not allowed to let anyone outside the Bullseye Team look at the machine guns, nor are you allowed to lend them out. You are also not allowed to lose your machine guns on the battlefield. If anyone can't control their own machine guns, then take them back. They are not allowed to use them again. "
Feng Yu Heng's expression was solemn as she spoke seriously. She told He Gan, "If I say this is an absolute order, then it is an absolute order. If anyone disobeys, they will be dealt with according to military law!"
He Gan nodded. "Don't worry, Mistress. This subordinate understands the importance of machine guns, and I believe the soldiers also understand. This subordinate will make the arrangements right away! " He immediately did as he said. He immediately gathered the Bullseye Team members who were still practicing and told them what Feng Yu Heng had said. Then, he had Feng Yu Heng designate a place for them to carve their names with a dagger.
The members of the Bullseye Team were very enthusiastic about this new weapon. At the same time, they also understood what it meant to have this weapon in their hands. Whether it was the lethality or the range, it had already exceeded their current understanding. Just like grenades and landmines, the general of the Bullseye Team also felt that this weapon was not something that could be found in the human world. Their mistress was most likely a fairy that descended from the heavens with lightning and thunder.
The dagger was carried by the members of the Bullseye Team. It was hidden in their pants as a life-saving measure. Everyone followed Feng Yu Heng's instructions and gently carved their names on the handle of the gun. They controlled the strength just right so that the gun would not be rubbed off, and it would not damage the body of the gun. When Feng Yu Heng saw that the soldiers were very obedient, she felt relieved.
By this time, the Phecda Unit had already used up all the grenades and landmines. Xi Fang came to report to Feng Yu Heng that they had basically grasped the gist of it and would be leading the soldiers to train harder in the coming days. However, they did not need real grenades anymore. They could use rocks of equal weight to replace them. At the same time, they had to increase their study of formations and mechanisms so that they could use things like landmines to defeat the enemy.
Feng Yu Heng nodded. The application of grenades and landmines did not require too much skill, and there was indeed no need to practice with live ammunition. The key was to combine them with formations and mechanisms. She left a large number of bullets for He Gan and informed the Bullseye Team that they didn't need to do anything from now on. They just needed to focus on shooting. However, it was only limited to practicing in the back of the mountain. Outside of the back of the mountain, he must not mention the weapon in his hand. As for the collection of weapons, she temporarily left the two carriages behind. When the soldiers were done practicing, they would be collected and distributed according to their names. She also immediately had people make holsters for the guns so that the soldiers could carry them on their backs. In the future, they just needed to bring them back to their tents.
The reason she did not show her face now was to prevent others from discovering her. She had never been an optimistic person who did not have her guard up against anyone. Even if it was Xuan Tianming's camp on the outskirts of the capital, she still had her guard up. After all, after the battle of Qian Zhou, they had suffered a loss in numbers. Later on, they recruited more to make up for it. Although it looked like everything was going well for now, there was no guarantee that there were no spies trying to fish in troubled waters.
The Divine Arms Battalion was practicing their modern firearms at the back of the mountain. The sound echoed through the valley. The soldiers at the front of the camp had long heard it. Even those closer to the back of the mountain could feel the ground shaking.
Their initial reaction was fear. Just like the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion, they thought an earthquake was coming. They all ran toward the center of the camp. Some of them even ran into the commander's tent to report to Xuan Tianming, who was having a meeting with the deputy general. In the end, they were reprimanded by Xuan Tianming. This was because Xuan Tianming had already told them not to panic or be curious no matter what they heard from the back of the mountain. They were also not allowed to ask the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion about it. They only needed to know that Princess Ji 'an was leading the soldiers of the Divine Arms Battalion to research a secret weapon for future battles and that it would be beneficial to the camp.
After being reprimanded, the soldiers became obedient. At the very least, they no longer felt fear. However, the rumbling sounds from the back of the mountain still came one after another. It was impossible for them not to be curious. They did not dare to ask the commander, so they could only gather in twos and threes to figure it out. Now was not the time for training, so they had nothing to do. Instead, they made no less than a hundred guesses about the commotion behind them. Unfortunately, no matter how they guessed, they could not guess what Feng Yu Heng had brought this time.
Some sharp-eyed people saw that Feng Yu Heng had brought two carriages to the back of the mountain. She was even personally driving one of the carriages. Then they thought of the commotion in the back of the mountain and made a bold guess. "She couldn't have brought two carriages of firecrackers, right?"
However, this was immediately rejected by others. "How is that possible? If it's just firecrackers, why wouldn't she set them off here? "
"Maybe it's a new type of firecrackers? That can't be right. How can firecrackers help in battle? To boost morale? "
"Stop guessing, stop guessing!" Finally, someone waved his hand and interrupted this meaningless speculation. He concluded, "In short, no matter what, our princess consort is a godly person. No matter what she comes up with, it will definitely be useful to us. We just need to remember the commander's words and do our best to cooperate with the brothers of the Divine Arms Battalion! "
These words received unanimous agreement from everyone. Although the Divine Arms Battalion was a small part of the battalion that had been separated, they had still been chosen from the rest of them. In the beginning, everyone had had equal opportunities. In the end, one thousand people had stood out. No one had been jealous of this. Normally, they were still a family. Thus, the soldiers had all agreed to cooperate fully with the secret plan in the back of the mountain.
Feng Yu Heng stayed in the battalion for a day or two. She stayed for a night. Everyone in the battalion was happy because of her arrival, but the capital was in chaos.
Under Feng Yu Heng's instructions, Wang Lin had already posted a notice on the wall in front of Hundred Herb Hall announcing that it was closing. As for the patients that were still in the hospital, they would do their best to treat them within five days. After five days, everyone had to leave Hundred Herb Hall and return home.
The news that Hundred Herb Hall was closing was like a bomb to the people of the capital. No matter if it was the common people or the high officials or nobles, they could not understand why Hundred Herb Hall, which had been operating so well, would suddenly close. Of course, these people did not include the officials in the Eighth Prince's faction. After those people heard this news, they all covered their mouths and secretly laughed at home. Not only had Hundred Herb Hall closed, but they had also heard through the grapevine that Feng Yu Heng was planning to leave the capital and move to her fief. The Eighth Prince's faction was very happy. This meant that the effort they had put in during the banquet on the first day of the New Year had paid off. The current Emperor was already old. After a few more years, when the Eighth Prince ascended the throne, they would not just see results. They would see a return on their efforts.
However, the Eighth Prince's influence among the officials in the capital was still a little lacking. He spent most of his time outside the capital, and he was a military general. Noble Lady Yuan's maternal family could not provide much help. This caused his influence in the capital to be very unbalanced, especially among the civil officials. Currently, there were no civil officials of second rank or higher that were loyal to him. This was the shortcoming of the Eighth Prince's faction. They were not like Xuan Tianming. Among the people loyal to Xuan Tianming, there were not just civil officials. There were also imperial censors and imperial censors. Those imperial censors were prepared to sacrifice their lives at any moment. If there came a day when the two sides opposed each other, it was very likely that the imperial censors would use their lives to threaten the other side.
The Eighth Prince's faction did not have many people. This also meant that they did not have enough influence to create a suppressive threat in the capital. The sudden closure of Hundred Herb Hall on the seventh day of the New Year caused a small riot in the capital. Too many people gathered on the street where Hundred Herb Hall was located. With Hundred Herb Hall as the center, they spread out for many li. The people that were blocking the street were all noisy citizens. Everyone was protesting the sudden closure of Hundred Herb Hall. The poor people were clamoring for Hundred Herb Hall to provide a reason. The rich people even suggested that if the business was not good, they could raise the price. Either way, they could afford it.
Wang Lin was a smart person, especially when it came to business. Although he was not an unscrupulous businessman, he was very clear on how to maximize his own profits while maintaining his reputation and conscience. Now that the citizens were blocking the entrance, it was the best opportunity for him to perform, thus the young shopkeeper wiped his face with his hand. His finger that had been dipped in chili water brushed across his eyes, and tears immediately began to fall.
He stood at the entrance of Hundred Herb Hall. Afraid that the people behind him would not be able to see him, he had a waiter bring out another table. With the waiter's help, he stood on top of the table and cried bitterly, "Fellow citizens, we also don't want to close Hundred Herb Hall! Ever since Hundred Herb Hall was taken over by our boss, oh, that's Imperial Daughter Ji An, it has been wholeheartedly thinking for the citizens. The medicine sold in the hall is the best, and all of the doctors were taught by Imperial Daughter Ji An. That profession can be considered the best in Da Shun, and it can be considered the best in the world. In these two years, how many terminally ill patients have been cured? How many people have been said to be incurable by other doctors? There are even some people whose coffins have already been prepared, but weren't they still saved by our Hundred Herb Hall's doctors? Not only that, but the Princess has also personally come to the hall more than once to treat the illnesses of the citizens. She has never cared about wealth or poverty, whether you are a high official or a poor citizen of the north. Everyone, tell me, has our Hundred Herb Hall ever treated you differently? "
Wang Lin cried as he spoke. His words were filled with sincerity, causing the maidservants, young madams, and daughters-in-law to cry along with him. As people cried, they said, "I have never seen such a good Princess. She is simply a living immortal. Our family's eldest son's illness was personally cured by the Princess. His leg was originally said to be crippled, but the Princess fixed it. Now, it doesn't look broken at all. He walks like a good person."
There were also people who said, "Our family's daughter-in-law had a difficult birth. The midwife said that she couldn't make it, and the child couldn't be saved. If it weren't for the Princess's help, then one child and two lives would have been lost! "
"Fellow citizens!" Wang Lin opened his mouth again. "From this, it can be seen that our Hundred Herb Hall truly cares about the citizens."
"Then why do we still have to close the door?"
Wang Lin wiped away his tears again. In his heart, he thought, "The time has come." Thus, he raised his voice and wailed, "It's not that we want to close the door. We were forced to do so!"
