Daming: The Beginning Awakening Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan Template

"Your Highness, Chasing the Wind has been pulled out for you!"

At this moment, Geng Qing, who was dressed in armor, came to Zhu Ao to report.

Chasing the wind is Zhu Ao's favorite war horse, he once accompanied Zhu Ao to gallop on the battlefield for several years, and he can be regarded as a great achievement when he was fighting Tartars! Now although this horse is a little old, Zhu Ao is still used to riding it when he goes out! "Ao'er, you want to go out of the city again?"

"Retreat?"

Concubine Gao couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I'm going to the barracks!"

"I haven't been to the barracks for a while, and the training of the soldiers can't be slack!"

Zhu Ao shook his head, but he didn't lie, this time he was indeed going to the camp of the pro-guard army.

"Then you go quickly, remember to come back early!"

When Concubine Gao heard this, she didn't say much-.

Zhu Ao immediately took Geng Qing and left King Su's Mansion directly, and went directly out of the city to the camp of the Ganzhou Guard-Army!

After Zhu Ao came to the barracks, Geng Qing also appeared in front of Zhu Hao, and at the same time handed over a list! At the same time, prisoner cars were also escorted to the barracks from outside!

At the beginning of the count, there were hundreds of prisoners!"Your Highness, these death row prisoners are all escorted from Xi'an Mansion, and they are all experienced!"

Geng Qing reported angrily.

"There are no unjust, false and wrongful convictions, right?"

Zhu Ao asked lightly.

"It's not a pity to die all!"

Geng Qing nodded.

"Well, just send it to your hometown!"

Zhu Ao nodded with satisfaction and commanded.

The ghost army under his command, if you want to improve their strength, feeding them with the flesh and blood of living people is definitely the best choice!

In the past, when Zhu Ao fought the Hexi Corridor and Hami, he could also get some tartars as tribute!

But since the Hexi Corridor was completely controlled by Zhu Ao, and Hami had become the Hami guard of the Ming Dynasty, basically no one dared to run to Zhu Ao's territory without opening his eyes!

Zhu Ao has no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and choose those damned people who are treacherous and evil to serve as a meal for these ghost troops!

Geng Qing responded, and directly led a team of people to escort these death row prisoners on the road again!

These death row inmates didn't know what was waiting for them, but everyone had a look of trepidation on their faces!

However, for these damned people, Zhu Ao will not have the slightest sympathy! "Your Highness, the things are ready, just waiting for you!"

Geng Qing reminded Zhu Ao softly at this time.

"Very good, I hope I won't disappoint this king!"

Zhu Ao said, and walked towards the barracks.

He came to the barracks this time, and there are more important things than dealing with these death row prisoners!

That is, a bow and crossbow made of three rubber bands have been made!

As for the rubber band, it was made from the natural rubber extracted from the first batch of rubber grass transported from the Western Regions!

To put it bluntly, this rubber bow and crossbow is a kind of enhanced version of the slingshot! In modern society, the slingshot is no more sparse and ordinary, and basically boys will play with this thing in their childhood! In fact, it is just a toy made of rubber bands tied to tree branches!

Although it is only a toy, it can be used to hit birds and some small animals, target the deadly parts of people at close range, and even kill people!

However, those slingshot toys made of tree branches and rubber bands are basically mud balls or pebbles, and the most that hits people is a slight injury!

And the slingshot crossbow made by Zhu Ao with three rubber bands as the ejection power is different, it is a skeleton made directly of iron, and the rubber band is also a finger thick, and it is also three strands of force at the same time!

There are some differences between the whole shape and the general bow and crossbow, which makes it more convenient to aim, and even has a butt-like design installed at the tail, which can make the firing more stable and more conducive to aiming!

In addition, when loading, people who do not have enough arm strength can not even pull the slingshot with three rubber bands, and must use their feet to borrow the force to load, and the ammunition used is also a short crossbow arrow, but the power is huge!

The power of this shot is about three times more powerful than some slingshots that can kill people in later generations, and the crossbow arrows shot out carry a whistling wind! And there is no threshold for this thing to use, even if it is loaded with a foot, it can make it easy for all soldiers to get started!

And the accuracy of the shooting is definitely more accurate than the ordinary bow and arrow, after all, it is built according to the firearm!

There is a common misconception about the archers of the army, whether ancient or modern, people think that archers can only wait to die as long as they encounter close combat situations!

The reason is also very simple, if you want to be an archer, you must first have enough arm strength, and those with little strength will definitely not work!

An army of 100,000 people has only a few thousand archers at best! With such a ratio, you can imagine the quality of these archers, allowing them to fight hand-to-hand with ordinary soldiers, who are really not their opponents!

You must know that the bow and arrow in the army are really not something that anyone can pull!

Without strong arm strength, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to pull a two-stone bow, let alone shoot out the head!

But these rubber slingshot crossbows are different, they are not only powerful, but they are also very easy to use!

Even if you can't meet the requirements of an archer, this thing can basically be loaded with feet, and the most important test is the problem of personal accuracy, that is, good eyesight and accurate aiming!

The range of bows and arrows in the ancient armies, according to records, was basically about 100 meters, which was already quite far!

This is also the reason why Daming has firearms like firearms, but it still can't extinguish those Tartars in the Northern Yuan!

One is that the power of the firearm is too small, and the other is that the range is too short!

In addition, these steppe Tartars are very smart, they will not fight you in close combat at all, and if they can't beat them, they will run directly into the depths of the desert, which can only make the Ming army stare dryly! Perhaps the only firearm that can make the steppe Tartars afraid is just the Hongwu cannon!

But that thing is too heavy, it's okay to defend it in a border city, and it's completely unrealistic to run around the grassland!

This is also one of the reasons why the Northern Yuan Tartars have been able to jump to the present!

However, the range of this rubber slingshot crossbow that Zhu Ao has now researched can reach about 250 meters, although it is still a little short in Zhu Ao's opinion, but at least in the encounter with the Tartars, it is enough to ensure that the Tartars' cavalry has not rushed to him, and will be directly shot into a sieve! From this point of view, with this rubber slingshot crossbow, it is equivalent to having the confidence to be invincible!

The main purpose of Zhu Ao's visit to the camp of the Ganzhou Army was to test fire the slingshot crossbow that had just been manufactured! After confirming that there was no problem, it could be mass-produced, and then a large number of equipment would be given to the Ganzhou Guards!

These are the guarantees of the combat strength of the Ganzhou army!

Coming to the prepared shooting range, Zhu Ao looked at a slingshot crossbow in his hand, although the manufacturing process is not fine, and it cannot be compared with later generations, but as long as it does not affect the use, these can be ignored!

After all, this is in the Ming Dynasty, how can it be compared with the craftsmanship of later generations? Zhu Ao directly loaded his hand, with his arm strength, it was not enough to use his feet at all!

After aiming at a wooden stake not far away, Zhu Ao directly pulled the trigger!

With a howling wind, short arrows shot out of the slingshot crossbow and instantly sank into the stake!

"Not bad!"

Zhu Ao nodded with satisfaction!

?? The test-firing effect of the slingshot crossbow made Zhu Ao more satisfied.

But there is obviously still a lot of room for improvement, but now is not the time to find faults, even if it is a technical improvement, it will take time, and wait for a better slingshot crossbow to be put into the army in the future, and then eliminated!

"Your Highness, this slingshot crossbow needs a lot of rubber raw materials, although the Western Regions have been sending rubber grass over, but the output can only guarantee that it can make 500 pieces per month!"

Geng Qing reminded softly on the side.

"There's no way, I can only use those rubber grasses for now, and when the rubber trees planted in the south can be harvested in the future, we can start building in large quantities!"

"How many have been made so far?"

Zhu Ao sighed a little helplessly and asked slowly.

"At present, only a thousand have been built, but it is no problem to equip a thousand households!"

Geng Qing replied.

"In this way, within half a year, four thousand more will be created, a total of five thousand slingshot crossbows, which can equip a battalion!"

Zhu Ao thought about it, and directly determined the number of slingshot crossbows! The personal guards of the vassal king are generally three guards, that is, three battalions.

The number of soldiers and horses in each battalion ranges from 3000 to 5000!

And Zhu Ao's Ganzhou personal guards, a total of three battalions, claimed to be 15,000 people, but in private Zhu Ao recruited a lot, basically reaching about 20,000 people! This is actually quite a lot among the many vassal kings!

Most of the vassal kings, especially the inland vassal kings, some of the three guards together are a few thousand, not even more than ten thousand!

Among all the vassal kings, there are only three branches that can be compared with Zhu Ao, the king of Qin, Zhu Li, the king of Jin, and Zhu Di, the king of Yan!

·· ···· Asking for flowers... ·····

After all, they are the same as Zhu Ao, they are all the kings of the border domain, and they will definitely not work without troops in their hands! However, since Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, was recalled to the capital, his guards remained in Xi'an Mansion, and after Zhu Yuanzhang handed over Xi'an Mansion to him to manage, the three guards of the King of Qin are now obeying the orders of his Su King Zhu Ao!

It is equivalent to Zhu Ao taking over Zhu Zhang's original three guards!

In other words, the actual available force in Zhu Ao's hands has directly doubled or so to more than 30,000 people! Of course, he can't gather all these 30,000 people together, after all, Xi'an Mansion is also going to be garrisoned, and he can't mess around!

But if necessary, he doesn't mind using this army directly! This is equivalent to a big gift from the old man!

The strength of the Ganzhou army is about 20,000, and if 5,000 people are equipped with this kind of slingshot crossbow, the ratio is already very terrifying!

It will also directly increase the combat effectiveness of the entire army by several grades!

Of course, as long as Zhu Ao is willing, it is not a problem to equip the whole army, but it just takes more time! Zhu Ao still has this time! But there is no need to be so eager for the time being!

"Your Highness...... Sent from Xi'an!"

At this moment, a fast horse sent a letter, which was handed directly to Zhu Ao by Geng Qing.

Zhu Ao took the letter and glanced at it, and his face suddenly turned cold.

"It's really a policy and a countermeasure, after the second brother left Xi'an Mansion, these guys became more and more unscrupulous!"

0 . .......

"Do you really think what this king said is a fart, or do you really think that this king doesn't dare to touch them?"

Crumpled the letter directly, Zhu Ao snorted coldly, and spread his palm again, but the original letter had turned into powder and floated into the air!

"Your Highness, what are you going to do next?"

A cold glint flashed in Geng Qing's eyes, he knew that someone had touched King Su's taboo, and now he was afraid that he would be bleeding like a river!

"Bring your men and wait for the king outside the city!"

"This king will go back to the palace first, and then he will come!"

Zhu Ao didn't talk nonsense, and after explaining to Geng Qing, he rode back to Suwang's Mansion on a wind-chasing horse alone!

But before going to Xi'an Mansion, he must go back to the palace and explain to the old lady and the Gu family, after all, although Xi'an Mansion is not far from Ganzhou Mansion, this trip will take at least a few days!

In King Su's Mansion, Concubine Gao was playing in the courtyard with Zhu Zhanyan, while Gu's was basking in the sun with Zhu Zhanye, a premature baby who had just been born and was still in swaddling clothes!

As for the Li family, she has become the successor of the Gu family, and now she is basically helping to take care of the affairs of the palace! After all, Zhu Jiaoyan is still in infancy, and it is best to take care of it with his mother, so naturally he does not have so much time to manage so many trivial matters.

It can also be said that after the Li family joined the Su Wangfu, it can be regarded as helping the Gu family share a lot of pressure.

And Li's ability is not bad, which makes Gu and Zhu Ao more satisfied.

Gu is not the kind of person who is cautious, and she does not have such a strong desire to control, so she is also happy to hand over these things to the Li family!

Of course, if there is something that the Li family can't handle, it will definitely need her, the concubine, to solve it! But the most important thing is Zhu Ao's approval and decentralization!

In other words, that is, the Li family does not have any crooked thoughts, but if Zhu Ao senses that the Li family has any thoughts that he should not have, it is impossible to give her power!

Seeing that Zhu Ao had returned to the palace so quickly, Concubine Gao and the Gu family were a little surprised.

"Ao'er, are you back so early today?"

Concubine Gao asked with some curiosity.

In the past, when Zhu Ao went out, he basically came back after dark, and then he should have been busy going to the barracks, and the speed of coming back was indeed too fast.

"Mother, the son is going to Xi'an Mansion, not in Ganzhou these days, the palace will be handed over to you!"

Zhu Ao said straight to the point.

"So suddenly, what are you doing in Xi'an?"

Concubine Gao asked in surprise.

The vassal king is not allowed to leave the fief without an edict, although now Xi'an Mansion is also regarded as Zhu Hao's fief, but it is just a trustee!

Suddenly heard that Zhu Ao was going to Xi'an Mansion, not only Gao Guifei, but even the Gu family was a little surprised.

"Father handed over Xi'an Mansion to his sons to manage, and it's time to go there in person!"??

"The mess left by the second brother also needs to be cleaned up!"

"If Erchen doesn't run in person, I'm afraid it won't be handled well!"
