Chapter 193 No bows and crossbows?
After the carriage left the city and arrived at the Imperial Guard camp, Cui Yiyang got off the carriage first and then helped Su Yueyao down.
The guards at the entrance of the military camp opened their eyes wide when they saw this scene.
Is the deputy commander the one who is carefully supporting the woman? When has the deputy commander ever been so gentle? It's really different with a wife...
"Deputy Commander." The guard saluted immediately when he saw Cui Yiyang and Su Yueyao coming over.
"This is my future wife, Miss Su. If she comes over in the future, you must stop her, understand?"
"Deputy Commander, we understand. We promise not to stop Lady Su in the future." The guard said with a smile.
Their deputy commander is really going to get married, and this Miss Su is not afraid of the deputy commander's aura. What an amazing woman!
"Ms. Su, will you come in and take a look?" Cui Yiyang said.
"Okay!" Su Yueyao replied with a smile.
Later, they met many patrolling soldiers on the road. Everyone saluted Cui Yiyang respectfully, but they all looked at Su Yueyao curiously.
Cui Yiyang did not explain Su Yueyao's identity to these soldiers. The guards at the door would spread the news to the entire camp in a moment.
"Except for the imperial guards who are guarding His Majesty, are all the others here?" Su Yueyao looked around curiously.
"This is the Royal Guard camp outside the east of the city. There are Royal Guard camps outside the four city gates. My father is in charge of the two camps in the west and south, and I am in charge of the two camps in the east and north."
"It seems that the management of your military camp is very strict! It's very orderly." Su Yueyao said with a smile.
"Of course there are military rules in the military camp. We are His Majesty's imperial guards and the first line of defense to protect His Majesty and Fengdu."
Cui Yiyang then took Su Yueyao to see the soldiers' training ground, where there were special areas for archery, wrestling, and stabbing.
The two came to the edge of the martial arts arena and looked at the imperial guards who were training below. Cui Yiyang said, "Every six months, there will be competitions in the martial arts arena such as archery, wrestling, and martial arts. The first place winner will be promoted to a higher level."
"Do those soldiers receive the same training every day?" Su Yueyao asked after thinking for a moment.
"They are all the same, but the Imperial Guards are divided into infantry, cavalry, etc."
"Then why not arrange special training for their type of soldiers? For example, for archers, shooting must be the main focus, and physical training will suffice. Or for scouts, speed, flexibility, agility, etc. must be required. Can't these be trained separately?"
After hearing what Su Yueyao said, Cui Yiyang was stunned. It seemed that they had never had such special training before. The Royal Guards would train every day and required every soldier to practice archery, horseback shooting, etc.
"Ms. Su, I will raise this issue with my father. If this is the case, every member of the Imperial Guard will be able to exert their best abilities."
"In fact, after the Imperial Guards have studied this method, they found it to be very suitable for soldiers going to the battlefield. The Imperial Guards are only there to protect His Majesty, and there aren't many dangers in normal times." Su Yueyao explained.
"I didn't expect Miss Su to know how to train soldiers!"
"I don't understand, I just said it casually. Don't tell anyone that I said this." Su Yueyao reacted and said immediately.
"Hehehe... Miss Su is so cute... I won't say anything." Cui Yiyang suddenly approached Su Yueyao and said.
Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang who was approaching and felt embarrassed and wanted to take a step back.
"Why are you so close to me all of a sudden?"
"I just feel that Miss Su is different from other women, and seems to know more than other women."
"Really? I just have a better brain." Su Yueyao said with a guilty conscience.
"My father and I will think carefully about how to change the suggestions made by Miss Su. If this can improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Miss Su will probably have done another great deed."
"You don't have to give me this great achievement. It was your idea and has nothing to do with me."
"Ms. Su hasn't even married me yet, but she's already thinking of doing me such a favor. Thank you so much!" Cui Yiyang said with a doting tone.
"No need to thank me, let's go over there and take a look!" Su Yueyao changed the subject and pointed to the house not far ahead.
"The room over there is where weapons are stored. Miss Su is also curious and wants to take a look?"
"Go and see!"
The two of them entered the weapons room together, which contained many swords, knives, axes, spears, bows and arrows, shields, halberds, etc.
Su Yueyao read it carefully. When she was studying history in modern times, she was also very curious about the making of ancient weapons.
When Su Yueyao saw the bows and arrows, she found that there were bows and arrows of all sizes, and subconsciously asked, "Are there no crossbows?"
"What is a crossbow?" Cui Yiyang asked.
Su Yueyao was stunned again... She seemed to say something else... Is this era so backward? There are no bows and crossbows? Bows and crossbows first appeared in the Warring States Period in modern times, and they reached a very high level by the Song Dynasty.
"Is a crossbow a weapon?" Cui Yiyang asked carefully as he watched Su Yueyao's expression change.
Su Yueyao looked at Cui Yiyang, feeling unsure whether to tell him or not. She had studied these weapons before out of curiosity, but if she told him, there would probably be endless things to do.
"The crossbow is indeed a weapon, but if I tell you, won't you be curious about where I knew it?" Su Yueyao asked Cui Yiyang.
"Lady Su, if the crossbow you are talking about is a weapon, a weapon more powerful than a bow and arrow, please tell me. This is very important to Fengluan Country. Fengluan Country's weapons have always been weak at long range."
"When I marry you, I will protect you with my life." Cui Yiyang said in a firm tone.
"Then let's go to your tent and talk!" Su Yueyao said.
"it is good!"
Afterwards, Su Yueyao sat at the table in Cui Yiyang's tent, picked up a pen and began to draw a series of weapons such as bows and crossbows, as well as crossbow machines.
Su Yueyao couldn't remember some parts, so it was up to Cui Yiyang to find the craftsmen who made the weapons to make some changes. The ancients were very wise, and she believed that she had given them ideas, and they would definitely be able to figure it out.
She also drew Zhuge Liannu.
Cui Yiyang stood beside Su Yueyao and watched her paint quietly. His breathing almost stopped at this moment, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. If this weapon could be made, Fengluan Kingdom would be more deterrent to the surrounding countries in the future, and His Majesty's position would be more stable.
Su Yueyao spent more than an hour painting and thinking at the same time.
"Yi Yang, I have drawn the bow and crossbow weapons that I know, but I can't remember a lot of the details, so you need to find a craftsman to try to make them bit by bit." Su Yueyao said.
"Thank you, Miss Su!" Cui Yiyang took all of them, read them all, hugged Su Yueyao excitedly and said.
Su Yueyao was a little surprised when Cui Yiyang hugged her. She didn't expect Cui Yiyang to hug her so excitedly.
When Cui Yiyang let go of Su Yueyao, he realized that his behavior was a little wrong and said awkwardly, "Miss Su, I am rude."
"Is Yi Yang's weapon very important?" Su Yueyao asked softly.
"Of course, it's very important."
"Then if I take these to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to exempt me from studying at the Academy of Literature, will His Majesty agree?"
When Cui Yiyang heard Su Yueyao's words, he looked at her in a daze. He didn't expect that Su Yueyao would think of this first. He was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Once the weapons are made, it will be a great achievement, and she may even be appointed as an official in the court and be promoted to the third rank. However, she only asked not to study at the Academy of Literature.
Wouldn't this be too much of a loss? Should he remind her? His Majesty is his master, and the Cui family has always been loyal to him, but Su Yueyao is his future wife!
At this time, his future wife is actually more important. If his wife doesn't like him in the future, Your Majesty will not be able to help him.
