In August, the Central Plains is the harvest season, and people in many places have begun to sing and dance to celebrate the harvest and prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But the Liao kings, Jiang Lu and Dai Wang Kun, who were far away in the Liao and Dai Kingdoms, were anxious and nervous.

As early as May and June, envoys of the Qin Dynasty had already come to announce the imperial edict. Emperor Shin-Hining would inspect the Liao Dynasty after the beginning of autumn and demanded that the two countries be prepared for security and welcome plans.

In order to welcome the arrival of the First Emperor, the two countries even built large-scale construction of palaces, trying to show more filial piety, so that the father could see the prosperity and prosperity of the vassal states under his rule.

However, I hope it will be long, but the tour of the First Emperor was not too slow.

The parade team stayed in Langya alone for ten days.

During these ten days, in addition to patrolling the Langya Port and various supporting projects, the First Emperor also climbed the Langya Mountain to tie stones to the memorial, went to Laoshan to enjoy the scenery, and then spent most of his time watching the training of the Maritime Academy and the ship-controlled and live-fire exercises of the Marine Division Fleet.

In order to allow Emperor Qin Shi and the accompanying Gongzi Qinghou to experience the power of ship artillery at close range, Chen Xu privately instructed Cao Shen to conduct a live-fire island landing exercise.

On the day of the exercise, Emperor Qin Shi's flagship set sail under the escort of ten ships and thousands of imperial guards to visit near a deserted island overseas. The Maritime Academy organized five fleets equipped with artillery and muskets for live ammunition drills.

When five large ships lined up in a row and faced the open beach of the island, the deafening roar, the splashing flames, the whistling shells, and the scenes of stone pestles, wooden boards and straw men scattering on the beach all frightened.

After three rounds of volleys, the beach that was already densely packed with targets was already messy. The beach was covered with lodged grass men and broken wood and stones. The traces of iron bombs were clearly visible. Even some reefs were shattered by shells, and the entire beach could no longer be seen.

This time the acting is shocking and exciting enough.

When the First Emperor was happy, he began to send red envelopes again, rewarding Cao Shen and other groups of officers and soldiers from the Maritime Academy. This live-fire acting also allowed the First Emperor and all the Gongzi Qinghou to truly understand the power and power of firearms for the first time.

Cannons and ships have endless magic power.

This is the most powerful weapon for Daqin to conquer the world in the future.

It was obvious that one exercise was not enough to watch. In the following days, Emperor Shi almost spent almost all of his time in the Maritime Academy, watching various exercises and course teaching, and then took the flagship to go out to sea with the Maritime Academy training ship to watch fleet training and live-fire exercises.

Seeing that the First Emperor was so interested, Chen Xu and Cao Shen discussed it and arranged a group of newly recruited students this year to perform a simple parade exercise performance on the training ground of the Haidi Normal University.

These new students are recruiting recruits who have just been recruiting for two or three months. Although they have finished the basic queue training, they are not very familiar with them. During the parcel performance, the orderliness is not very high, and some people even make mistakes in turning their bodies. As for the mistakes in waving their hands, there are even more mistakes in waving their hands. Especially in the aiming and shooting exercises of lifting the gun, they look messy.

But this kind of training training for two or three months has stunned the First Emperor and all the accompanying Gongzi Qinghou.

This kind of neat, strict and serious line-up exercise was simply unimaginable among the previous army, and it was impossible to achieve such neatness in rows.

After this demarcation performance, the First Emperor was often not very focused. It seemed that as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see the cadets who came in a uniform and roaring manner and roaring in a uniform manner.

The systematic military training began with Guan Zhong, and Guan Zhong's three officials, five teachings and nine chapters gradually became the training standard for the vassal states.

However, Guan Zhong's military strategy training is just a very general method. The five teachings for training are also very simple. The first is to learn to identify the flag, the second is to learn to obey orders, the third is to learn to control the speed of progress and retreat, the fourth is to learn to use various long and short weapons, and the fifth is to know the reward and punishment system.

In fact, in battle, most people cannot see the order flags and can only listen to the orders of their generals. However, sometimes they cannot hear the orders clearly, resulting in a wrong command. Later, this complex training method began to simplify it to move when they hear the roar, beat the drums and retreat when they sounded the gold.

However, this kind of training in order to enhance the command of the battlefield coach can only ensure a moderate advancement and retreat, and cannot make the soldiers' team become so neat and rigorous as the orders are implemented.

This method of training is more stringent and more effective than the current training method of the Qin Dynasty. In addition to the sharpness of muskets, the First Emperor did not doubt Chen Xu's original statement that it was not difficult for the Qin Dynasty to unify the world. The difficulty lies in the financial and material resources and transportation logistics. Without huge national strength, it is impossible to arm a musket force of tens of thousands of people. The continuous expenses are too great.

...

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

After the parade and tour team left Langya, they had already crossed the Yellow River.

In order to celebrate this grand festival that predicts harvest, the First Emperor ordered the head of the steward to lay down the head and summoned the accompanying young master and the officials of Qinghou to hold a grand camping party. The Hou Qinghe also showed off his own food master's methods, set up several large bonfires, grilled whole lamb, grilled suckling pigs, grilled steaks, and more than a dozen barbecue grills lined up, and a grand skewers began in the open space inside the head.

This camping feast where the king and his ministers enjoyed each other began in the morning and did not reach its climax until the evening.

At around the hour of You, the sun had just set, and when Emperor Shin-Emperor and dozens of Princes of the Queen were gathering in the camp to eat meat, drink, skewers and laugh, a burst of exclamations suddenly rang out of nowhere.

"Look, the East Sky is on fire!"

Amid the terrified shouts, all the palace maids and musicians who sing and dancing stopped instantly, and the monarchs and ministers who ate meat, drink wine and eat skewers all looked up. Sure enough, on the dim sky curtain of the east, a ball of flames of a basin was rapidly passing by, and the sound of wind and thunder came towards the direction of the shaft.

"Yinghuo...Yinghuo guards his heart, and the disaster star comes to the world, and it is now fulfilled!"

The accompanying Taishi Cao Ming fell on the dining table in his frightened hand.

“Wow~”

After saying a word, the entire camp exclaimed and stirred, and in horror, the skewers, lamb legs and pork waists fell all over the floor.

"How can the Taishi be so mean to deceive the public? This is just a popular fall to the ground, so where can there be disasters!"

Chen Xu shouted angrily to suppress the audience, then bowed to the First Emperor and said, "Your Majesty is worry-free. I have said before that the so-called "Shadow and Confident" was just the ancients who misjudged the celestial phenomena, not the disaster star came to the world!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the theory of celestial phenomena is inherently bleak and false. Heavenly fire has existed since ancient times, so how can there be disasters!" Meng Yi also came back to his senses and bowed to salute.

"Well, the words between the Grand Master and Meng Qing are reasonable. The so-called "Shen Huo and the Heart" are just ordinary celestial phenomena. I, the Great Qin, took Zhou, and now it is the orthodox Chinese orthodox Chinese. The destiny of heaven has been settled. How can the celestial phenomena be chaotic? If you continue to command, no one should be afraid or noise. Those who dare to cause trouble to the chaotic headquarters... behead!"

Although the First Emperor felt his heart beating and his body was full of blood, and his mind was filled with the sound of blood flowing, he tried hard to calm himself down first due to the chaos at this time.

As the sound of sirens and horns continued to sound, under the loud scolding and orders of a group of Xuanwu Guards and the Imperial Guards, the chaos in the entire camp soon stabilized.

Seeing the calm appearance of Emperor Shi and Chen Xu and Meng Yi, the mood of Gongzi Qinghou who was accompanying him quickly stabilized. A group of people looked up and watched the meteor gradually grow bigger and pass by overhead, and finally became like a fireball that fell to the end of the undulating horizon of the mountains.

The meteors only take a minute or two from their appearance to disappearance.

But this or two minutes is as long as a century or two for everyone.

The shooting star disappeared and the sky returned to darkness again.

In the howling cold wind, the bonfire swayed, and the shaft was silent.

"Your Majesty, look at the location of the meteor falling to the ground. I'm afraid it's hundreds of miles away. Should I send someone to check it out!" Chen Xu smacked his lips and came to his senses first.

To be honest, the first time I saw such a coquettish meteor movement when I grew up so old, I saw a few meteors passing through the sky like fireflies on summer nights. It was the first time I fell down as big as today.

If a meteor falls to the ground, maybe a treasure chest will appear.

Even if you don't have it, you may pick up a piece of meteorite.

If it is a rare permanent magnet, you will get rich. You can take it back and make a generator...

Chen Xu was thinking about picking up meteors, and the First Emperor, who came to his senses, also issued an order, ordering the Xuanwu Guard to set out tomorrow morning to check the situation where the meteor fell to the ground.

This meteor appears quickly and disappears quickly. Although it seems interesting to Chen Xu, the First Emperor and his entourage don’t watch it like this.

People in this era believe in ghosts, gods and celestial phenomena, especially those who do not understand them are even more awe of this celestial phenomena.

Chen Xu only told the First Emperor that the earth might be round, so the so-called Ying Huo guarding the heart is not so reliable, but Chen Xu did not talk about the principle of meteors, and this era cannot be explained clearly unless it is proved that the earth is round first.

So after the shooting, the First Emperor suddenly felt a little dizzy. He helped a group of palace servants and the accompanying imperial doctors to rest. The rest of the people were no longer interested in eating meat, singing and dancing except Chen Xu.

The big party in Zhongqiu, which should have been a joyful meal, ended in vain. On the grill of big and small bonfires, the whole roasted lamb and suckling pigs were not eaten for a few bites, and the handfuls of grilled skewers were placed on the grill and the aroma was filled with blue smoke.

"It's a pity not to eat so much meat!"

Chen Xu sat down and cut a piece of roasted golden pork leg meat from the grill with a knife.
