As soon as Zhu Cijing crawled out of the tank, Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua looked forward to him. They worked day and night and worked hard to make this treasure. Naturally, they hoped to get a recognition or a word of praise from the emperor.

If this thing is put in later generations, it will definitely be a pile of scrap iron. However, in the 17th century when hot weapons have not yet completely replaced cold weapons, this is simply an iron monster that is afraid of when people see each other. After all, he is the king of land warfare at this stage. Although he is almost the best, Zhu Cijiu will naturally not be stingy with praise.

As soon as he got down to the ground, he showed a look of relief and praised: "Yeah, very well, with armored chariots, the Tsarist Russian bastion is not to be afraid, Menghou, Chuyang, you have done a good job."

Bi Maokang hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not be the emperor to praise him like this. This is our duty."

Zhu Cijiong pretended to be unintentionally asked: "Well, has this armored combat vehicle been tested?"

Bi Maokang did not reply, but turned to look at Sun Yuanhua. Although his position was slightly higher than that of Sun Yuanhua, he was not responsible for the owner of the armored chariot. If the emperor praised everyone, he should answer it. However, when asked about the specific situation, it would be better for Sun Yuanhua.

Seeing this, Sun Yuanhua hurriedly bowed: "Go back to the emperor, the armored chariot only drove back and forth in the workshop for a few laps, and the cannon has not been tested yet. Please forgive me. Originally, Weichen wanted to find the place to test, and then ask the emperor to come and take a look after the test."

Of course, it cannot be blamed on Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang just reported to him that the sample of the armored combat vehicle had been made and did not invite him to visit. He just couldn't help but insist on coming and taking a look. Thinking of this, Zhu Cijiong comforted him: "It's okay, I'm just curious to take a look. Have you found the test place?"

Sun Yuanhua said a little embarrassedly: "If it were Dongdaying Artillery Factory, there would be a place to test artillery, but it would be too troublesome to transport the armored chariots over, so Weichen wanted to find a test place in the capital. However, the capital was almost full of houses, and it was a bit difficult to find a space of several miles in radius. Weichen was looking for a suitable place near the capital."

Indeed, looking at the cannon barrel, you will know that the range is two or three miles away. Where can there be such a large open space in the capital for them to bombard it. If you want to test it in the capital, you will definitely hit the house if you shoot it out.

Zhu Cijing nodded and said, "Yeah, have you found a place you like?"

Sun Yuanhua bowed again and said, "When I returned to the emperor, I felt that the northwest corner of the capital was pretty good. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and there were no houses. It didn't matter how I blew it. It was just that the terrain was a bit complicated, uneven, and there were many mountains and forests. The armored combat vehicles had to be tested there and built a few temporary roads."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijing couldn't help but remember the large experimental field he went to see a few days ago. He asked curiously: "Oh, are you talking about the Chang Geng building experimental field?"

Sun Yuanhua nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Weichen is talking about that. Weichen and Lord Bi have visited the experimental field built by Chang Geng, so they are more familiar with the situation there."

Zhu Cijing remembered the valve handles in the cab and asked again: "Chuyang, this armored combat vehicle is probably not something that ordinary people can't control?"

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he nodded and said, "The emperor is wise. The control of this armored combat vehicle is indeed a bit complicated. It takes an average person at least one or two months to start the movement."

This is another big problem. It is fake that no one can open the things just by making them. The one-year unblocking period in Siberia is only five or six months. If the soldiers from Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting are transferred to practice in the spring next year, it will probably be too late. Moreover, this thing cannot be transported to Siberia for practice. After all, it has been occupied by Tsarist Russia, so it is relatively easy for them to inquire about information. If the armored chariots are transported there for practice, they will definitely find it.

It is not impossible to crack this armored combat vehicle or tank. Just simply, dig a big hole on the ground, then put on a wooden board, and then lay a layer of soil. There is nothing wrong with the person walking over. Once the tank drives over, it will definitely fall into the pit!

Zhu Cijing didn't want Tsarist Russia to know this killer weapon in advance. This exercise must be carried out near the capital. The terrain in the northwest of the capital is quite suitable for training. He simply said directly: "Let's do this, the northwest of the capital is not very suitable for construction of the city anyway. Why not surround it with a city wall and build a large training base. In the future, the army will test it there if there is any new equipment. Training, Chuyang, what do you think?"

Sun Yuanhua was not only the head of the research and development of the armored combat vehicles but also the Minister of War. He was responsible for the training of the army. When he heard the emperor's proposal, his eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Of course it's the best. The emperor, the empress, still have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it."

It's good to have ideas. Why is Sun Yuanhua still hesitant? Zhu Cijiu couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Chuyang, you are still keeping me inseparable. If you have any ideas, tell me quickly."

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, that's right. After Weichen presided over the research and development of armored combat vehicles during this period, he found that the students from various colleges of the Ming Dynasty had a solid foundation. If you explain something to them, they would understand that this is one of the reasons why armored combat vehicles could be developed so quickly. This academy education is good. In the past, it was difficult to find one or two such professional talents. Now even if you have to find one or two hundred, it is not a problem. Weichen was thinking, can the army build a special academy to train generals? Now the equipment is becoming more and more diverse, and even the top scholar in the martial arts are not necessarily familiar with all the equipment. As the equipment is diversified, the tactics have become more diverse. This writing requires people to summarize, study, and teach. This time, it is time to build an army training base in the northwest of the capital. Can a Ming Army Officer Academy be built in it? "

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijiu couldn't help but pat Sun Yuanhua on the shoulder and praised: "Chuyang, this proposal is very good. It's time for the Ming Dynasty to establish a regular officer academy. Not only the army needs to be built, but the navy also needs to be built. You write a specific plan and I will give you a review."

Sun Yuanhua was not only not scared by this pat, but was surprised by it. The emperor rarely patted people on the shoulder to praise him. This is a great honor!

The armored combat vehicles cannot be tested for the time being, and this visit can only end there. Zhu Cijiu is about to turn around and leave, but Bi Maokang bowed: "Prince, please wait for a moment. Chuyang has also developed an armored combat vehicle. Should the emperor take a look?"

Zhu Cijing was stunned when he heard this. There is another type, how is it possible? He only talked about one type!
