Normally, at this time, some ideas for improvement should have been told to Qi Jiguang.

Letting General Qi and the craftsmen from the Armory Bureau study it together will definitely be faster than Zhao Hao and a few disciples figuring it out blindly.

But Zhao Hao held back and didn't say anything.

Because through this day's research, he was able to draw a conclusion.

If Qi's army were placed fifty years later, even if the level of Ming's firearms had not improved at all, they could still easily win the Battle of Sarhu.

And it was a great victory without any suspense.

And fifty years later, the Ming Dynasty produced better firearms through exchanges with Europe.

Zhao Shizhen's 'Rumi Gun' outperformed the bird gun in all aspects; his 'Dian Dian Gun' was a brand new upgrade, introducing the concept of bullets into the musket for the first time. Bi Maokang's 'Self-generating Fire Gun' was already a perfect flintlock. And there was also the powerful Red Cannon...

These were new weapons that surpassed the level of Qi's army's firearms, but they still could not defeat Li Zicheng or Ye Zhupi.

Therefore, the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not caused by problems with weapons, but by problems with the soldiers, officials, and the country!

If these problems are not solved, even if Zhao Hao advances the weapons level of the Ming Dynasty by two hundred years, he will still not be able to change the fate of the country's destruction, the family's ruin, and the decline of his clothing and status.

Of course, if we insist, Maxim could do it if he were born.

But Master Zhao was very self-aware. He felt that he might never be able to hear the pleasant sound of cloth tearing again in his lifetime.

I'm afraid I'll never see the day when I can make my grumpy brother sing and dance just by using the advantage of weapons...

~~

Since improving the weapons level for Ming Dynasty is not an urgent task, I will proceed at my own pace...

Sure enough, General Qi, who has a high emotional intelligence, understood the hidden meaning of Zhao Hao's words "you won't know until you try it."

But Qi Jiguang did not reply to Zhao Hao immediately, but thought silently for a moment.

On the way back, he waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and asked Zhao Hao, who was riding beside him, "Doctor, do you want to try to improve the guns?"

"That's right." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "The Marshal also saw it just now. My nephew is obsessed with guns and cannons."

"Yeah." Qi Jiguang also nodded, thinking that it was simply morbid.

"He follows me." But Master Zhao said quietly.

"It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that a scientist like you loves guns and cannons!" Qi Jiguang immediately said seriously: "I believe that with your scientific improvements, the level of firearms in the Ming Dynasty will surely advance by leaps and bounds!"

"General Qi is really good at talking." Zhao Hao smiled embarrassedly and said, "But making this thing is firstly too difficult and secondly it is quite taboo, so we two are just thinking about it."

"It's easy to say. Just ask the Ministry of War to assign you a group of craftsmen and build it openly." Qi Jiguang said softly, "But the difficulty is that the Ministry of War will not easily make this offer, at least I can't persuade them. Of course, that's because I am insignificant..."

"Marshal, are you talking about Prime Minister Zhang?" Zhao Hao asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Qi Jiguang nodded and said, "I will write to Prime Minister Zhang when I return to the camp and tell him about this matter. Given how much Prime Minister Zhang values ​​the doctor, there should be great hope."

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Hao and said, "Of course, it would be best for the doctor to go there in person, just as a farewell."

"I still have a class to go to." Zhao Hao nodded. How could he not see his idol once more before leaving Beijing?

"That's no problem." Qi Jiguang smiled and mentioned the hot air balloon to Zhao Hao again.

Zhao Hao naturally had no need to keep it secret, so he asked Zhang Jian to come again tomorrow to teach him how to make the Shenjiying hot air balloon.

As they were talking, they arrived at the military camp of the Shenji Camp.

Qi Jiguang invited Zhao Hao to rest in the camp, but Mr. Zhao had plans in the evening, so he politely declined.

"Is that so..." Qi Jiguang nodded with a little disappointment, pursed his lips, and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, saying, "Go ahead and ask me."

Out of respect for Qi Jiguang, Zhao Hao cooperated and asked, "Does the Marshal have anything to say?"

"Ah, I really can't hide it from the doctor." Qi Jiguang smiled gratefully and said, "I want to ask you something."

"Please speak." Zhao Hao nodded and said seriously.

"Then Xishan Coal Industry, is it your business?"

"You can't say that. The company belongs to everyone." Zhao Hao corrected him, then smiled and said, "But I have some shares, so my words still count."

"That's great." Qi Jiguang breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked anxiously: "Then may I ask, sir, is your company still hiring people for a job like Wu Yu's?"

“Uh…” Zhao Hao was stunned when he heard that, thinking why not ask whether they will recruit a chairman?

But he immediately nodded and said, "Recruit! Our company is just starting out and we are most in need of talent!"

"Well, I have three very outstanding subordinates, all of whom are heroes who fought against the Japanese invaders with great achievements. Because they were unfairly punished, they had to leave the army..." Qi Jiguang sighed softly, patted his chest and said to Zhao Hao:

"But Qi guarantees to the doctor with his integrity that the three of them are absolutely good people and the best generals. They are all top-notch at training and leading troops!"

At this point, Qi Jiguang let out a long breath and whispered, "But once they leave the military camp, they won't know how to do anything. They have followed me in battles for many years, but they haven't saved any money. When they return home, they can't even make a living..."

"General, there is no need to say more." Zhao Hao waved his hand and said to Qi Jiguang in a deep voice: "I want these three people, and I guarantee that their status in the company will be higher than Wu Yu's!"

"I haven't told you who it is yet..." Qi Jiguang was surprised but also a little stunned.

"I once told the Marshal that Zhao most admires the national heroes who kill the enemy for the country! This is not just a compliment, but my sincere words!"

Then Master Zhao said emotionally: "Today I have to tell you something from the bottom of my heart - we must never let heroes bleed and cry!"

"We can't let the heroes bleed and cry..." Qi Jiguang's throat seemed to be blocked by straw. He choked for a long time, then turned over and dismounted with red eyes, and bowed deeply to Zhao Hao.

"Just for this sentence, please accept Qi's greetings, Doctor!"

"No, no!" Young Master Zhao quickly jumped off the horse. Fortunately, he had practiced pulling out tendons for half a year, otherwise he would have fallen flat on his face!

Zhao Hao quickly held Qi Jiguang with both hands and said urgently: "If you want to shorten my life, just pay your respects to me!"

After hearing what he said, Qi Jiguang had no choice but to stand up straight and clasp his fists. He smiled with deep emotion and said, "It shows that God is not completely blind to have people like Zhang Xianggong and Doctor who care about Qi's army!"

"What does this have to do with God? It's all because of those bastards..." Zhao Hao spat, stopped talking abruptly and got back to the main topic.

"I don't have the ability of Mr. Zhang, so I can only do my best in my own way!"

He raised his voice so that everyone could hear his oath:

"Please ask General Qi and other generals to pass on the message that anyone who has participated in the Qi family army's anti-Japanese war, whether he is no longer in the army or will leave the army in the future, can come to Wu County to find me. Zhao will properly arrange for you - the disabled will be supported and buried, and the healthy will be helped to shine again!"
