"Twenty thousand people are enough, but when will your Highness set out? After all, we still need your help." Li Ran said.

According to Li Ran's meaning, they needed Li Yan to go to Australia with them, because only Li Yan could buy various materials from modern times, so that they could develop from the modern technological foundation and quickly improve the level of technology, which was also what Li Yan asked them for.

Because according to Li Ran, life science and technology had developed greatly in their era. Although it was impossible to live forever, it was possible to extend life. Not only Li Shimin was very eager for such things, but Li Yan was also very eager for those who stood at the peak of power. It would be good for those who stood at the peak of power, even if they could extend their life span for decades. Li Yan also believed in this. After all, modern knowledge told him that from primitive society to modern times, the average life span of human beings is constantly extending.

"It's time to November, and you can go to Australia to spend the winter." Li Yan thought for a while and said.

"If this happens, we still have one month." Li Ran said.

"Well, yes, it probably takes a lot of time to go there. I have to deal with the matter on the fiefdom." Li Yan said.

After Li Ran agreed to go to Australia, Li Yan sent the new rifles and cannons to the royal palace in Taoyuan, Li Yan asked someone to transport these two things to the military camp and prepared to implement the replacement of weapons.

From Li Shimin's arrival in Yizhou to currency issuance and industrial reform, Li Yan has been busy and asked relatively fewer questions about the military, but this does not mean that Li Yan has ignored the importance of the army. On the contrary, the army has always been the target of Li Yan's close attention. He will immediately know any disturbances, because some of these officers in the army have dual identities, both officers and internal guards, and Su Mo'er's shadow guard also puts eyeliners in the army to prevent an accident in the army. After all, the Yizhou army, which has mastered guns and artillery, has great destructive power. If a rebellion is in revenge, it will be a fatal blow to Yizhou.

"Your Highness, is there a war to fight?" Qin Huaiyu shouted as soon as he entered Li Yan's office. The naughty man had not changed at all after getting married. He still had a straightforward personality before.

Zhu Youzhi showed a look of contempt, "Warrior is a major event in the country. Your military strategy is in vain, and you just want to fight a war casually."

Qin Huaiyu retorted, "If you don't fight, why should you be a soldier? Zheng Binglu ignores you again? She is smelly again?", showing a gossipy expression.

Li Yan glanced at the two of them. Qin Huaiyu seemed to have gained weight. Li Yan gave him a month off. It seemed that this kid was living a good life, and he was very comfortable. Zhu Youzhi still looked like that. He looked depressed, and he was even a resentful man.

"Okay, okay, I'll quarrel as soon as I meet. Today I have something to do with you." Li Yan said.

Hearing this, both of them put away their hippies and smiled, waiting for Li Yan to speak.

"The army's weapons have come out in a new style. In Taoyuan's words, the third generation of weapons can be installed immediately. After these weapons are equipped with the army, the composition of the army will undergo a complete change. The troops such as swords, shields, and archers will be eliminated." Li Yan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip of it and said.

"Why?" the two of them said almost in unison.

Li Yan brought out the new rifle from under the table and said, "Because the range and accuracy of the new musket have been greatly improved, and the power of the artillery is the same. I have brought both weapons, and you will understand after you have seen them."

Zhu Youzhi and Qin Huaiyu looked at the new rifle in Li Yan's hand and showed a hint of surprise. This rifle is indeed very different from the previous rifles. Moreover, there is a short knife in front of the gun, which has a strange shape.

Following Li Yan to the shooting range, the two stood apart on both sides of Li Yan, aiming at the new rifle in Li Yan's hand. Since the firearm was equipped with the troops, the two have been practicing diligently and are very familiar with the structure and use of the firearm, so they are considered an expert.

Li Yan put the rifle across and said to the two: "There is a big difference between this kind of rifle and the previous breech firing rifle. First, it is the magazine. This kind of rifle has a magazine that can hold five rounds of bullets, followed by bullets." As he said, Li Yan put a yellow orange bullet in front of the two, and then said: "The gunpowder used by this kind of bullet is twice to three times greater than black gunpowder, and it is a metal shell that is easier to fill the bullets, so that soldiers can shoot in any posture."

"If this is the case, can we use the strait line?" Zhu Youzhi asked.

"That's right, with this kind of rifle, soldiers have much more flexibility in combat. There is no need to use linear shooting anymore. Moreover, the effective range of this rifle is 500 meters, and there is also this rotary back-pull bolt. Pay attention to how I use it." After that, Li Yan held the rifle and pulled and pushed it quickly and fired five bullets. It took only about twenty seconds. "If you continue to load, the gun can shoot ten bullets in one minute."

Qin Huaiyu and Zhu Youzhi were already stunned. This kind of rifle is much stronger than the breech firing guns equipped by the army today, and it is much easier to use in all aspects. According to the appearance of the bullet, it is estimated that it can carry out normal combat even on rainy days.

"Your Highness, where is the cannon?" Li Yan demonstrated the rifle to them, and they were also looking forward to the power of the cannon.

On the left side of Li Yan, there was an object covered with cloth. Li Yan walked up to lift up the black canvas, revealing the new cannon inside.

"It seems much smaller." The two people circled around the cannon. The structure of this cannon seemed to be more complicated, and the thickness of the barrel was much thinner. The wheels that towed the cannon were replaced with rubber wheels.

Li Yan signaled the artillery to load the projectiles, and then he said: "This is a new type of field gun, which weighs only half the weight of the past. The launch of the shells is much easier. There is another characteristic that you will understand after you have seen it."

The two left when the artillery was loading. While Li Yan was talking, the artillery pulled the rope. After a "boom", another loud "boom" sound came from afar. Five or six meters high dust suddenly rose from the soil slope in the distance, and thick black smoke was also thick.

"What's going on?" The two of them were stunned.

Li Yan patted the two of them on the shoulders and said, "This is the new weapon of artillery, called the Flower Bullet. If there is an infantry phalanx in that place, then they will all die now."

A trace of cold sweat emerged from Zhu Youzhi's forehead. No wonder Li Yan wanted to change the settings of the troops. It turned out that the weapons in the video he had seen before had appeared, so a new war situation came. "Your Highness, I understand. Qin Huaiyu and I will organize the adaptation of the army, train new tactics, and fully utilize the power of these two weapons."

Qin Huaiyu became more and more depressed, "My personal courage has really become a thing of the past. Your Highness, what's the use of our generals with such a weapon?"

Li Yan smiled, "Physical fitness is always necessary, how can it be useless? Although this weapon is very powerful, it is inevitable that there will be unexpected situations. At that time, hand-to-hand combat will be carried out. Look at the bayonets on it, aren't they just used for hand-to-hand combat?"

Hearing this, Qin Huaiyu felt a little more relieved, but the words Li Yan received made his face sad again, "Although you say that, you mainly need to learn how to command new troops to fight and keep the casualties of the troops to the lowest range."

"Yes, Your Highness." The two said in unison.

Seeing this excellent weapon, the two of them immediately became excited. Zhu Youzhi said: "After three years of development, our Yizhou army has now expanded to 100,000 people, and now we have to change new equipment. The soldiers' hands are itchy. This is said that the good things about the war have been occupied by Sun Dongxu and others. Your Highness, you have to use them for a thousand days." The war madman Qin Huaiyu said again.
