Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Northern Expedition to Mongolian Yuan Dynasty!

Make great contributions!

Seal your wife as your shadow!

Become a marquis!

Hearing these inspiring words, the soldiers of the young army were already so excited that they were breathing rapidly and their blood was racing!

Grandson Zhu Zhanji was also inexplicably excited and clenched his fists subconsciously.

"The beacon light shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy."

"Yazhang bid farewell to Fengque, and the iron cavalry circled Dragon City."

"The snow is dark and the flag paintings are withered, and the wind is heavy and makes the sound of drums."

"It is better to be a centurion than a scholar!"

Whipping horses, galloping on the battlefield, making great achievements, and immediately looking for a title, what passionate man wouldn't yearn for it?

What's more, the more than 7,000 new recruits in front of him are all young people no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

Young, energetic, and passionate!

Zhu Zhanji also aspired to be like his imperial grandfather, who personally conquered the Meng Yuan Dynasty and created a prosperous Ming Dynasty!

However, precisely because he was the grandson of the current dynasty and respected as the heir apparent, it was almost impossible for him to go into battle to kill the enemy and follow the army in the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Zhanji really didn't expect that his second uncle Zhu Gaoxu was so ambitious.

Taisun Youjun, who was obviously just a family man, fell into the hands of him, the Prince of Han Dynasty. Not only did he want to train the young army into an elite warrior, but he also wanted to have the young army follow the army in the Northern Expedition next spring and make great achievements!

This seems a bit impossible, but Zhu Zhanji hopes that his second uncle can succeed and let the young army go north to Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty!

After a brief conversation, Youjun began the second phase of high-intensity special training, which was more abnormal and terrifying than before.

Zhu Gaoxu was not idle either, staring at the hundred fire guns in front of him in a daze.

He has already found someone to test it, and this fire gun is simply deceiving!

Not only did it have a range of only a hundred or so steps, but it also required two people to operate it, and the launch efficiency was extremely low... As for the lethality, not to mention, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't bear to look at it.

The most frightening thing is that this thing is still the standard weapon of Shenji Camp, and Liu Sheng can't get enough of it.

Can you really kill Mongolian Tatars with this kind of fire stick?

Zhu Gaoxu really didn't know whether the Ming Dynasty was lucky or the Mongolians were bad luck.

Just at this moment, veteran Xue Lu hurried over.

"My lord, what happened? You called me here so urgently?"

Xue Lu was nominally in charge of Taisun Youjun. After getting the news, he rushed over immediately. He thought something had happened, but unexpectedly he saw the King of Han staring blankly at the gun.

"Where did this fire blunderbuss come from? Your Majesty, this is a strategic material. You don't want to equip these dolls like Youjun, do you?"

Xue Lu was shocked when he saw the fire gun and didn't understand what the king of Han wanted to do.

The Northern Expedition in the spring of next year is a foregone conclusion, and all six ministries and departments are fully cooperating with the plan.

This fire blunderbuss is a weapon with great destructive power. It has always been exclusive to the Shenji Battalion. The more, the better.

Prince Han has now brought in a hundred firecrackers, and the Shenji camp is one hundred short of them.

Although this is not a big deal, in the current war, if the Han prince equips this group of young soldiers with this firecracker, he is afraid that it will be true and cause dissatisfaction among others.

If he is charged with "ignoring the overall situation", it will give others a reason to impeach him.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't mind this. He asked with some worry: "Old Xue, what is the situation with the Daming firearms? Is this fire stick a standard weapon of the Shenji camp?"

Xue Lu: "???"

What?

Get a poker?

Do you call this fire stick a fire stick?

"Ahem, Prince, you must not let Blind Man Liu hear these words, otherwise he will fight for you!"

This super-killing weapon that is so precious to others turns into a fire stick when it falls into your mouth. It would be strange if Liu Sheng didn't go crazy!

Zhu Gaoxu rolled his eyes at him angrily and motioned for him to answer his question.

"Our Daming firearms are mainly divided into two types. The first type is the hand-held fire blunderbuss. Its shape and caliber are small. Generally, the barrel is filled with lead bullets, iron bullets, etc., and its range ranges from tens to two dozen paces. A hundred steps..."

"The second category is artillery with a large caliber and shape that is mounted on a mount and fired. Most of the barrels are filled with stones, lead, iron, etc., commonly known as 'solid bullets.' A few are filled with explosive pellets. The range is generally Distances ranging from a few hundred paces to two or three miles are mainly used for defending and attacking cities, but also for field battles, water battles and naval battles..."

"In addition, there are large-scale explosive and incendiary weapons such as the Divine Fire Flying Crow, Sky-shaking Thunder, and Ten Thousand Enemies. Their lethality can be said to be..."

The more Xue Lu talked, the more excited he became, and his saliva sprayed onto Zhu Gaoxu's face.

Looking at this burly man, Zhu Gaoxu wanted to give him a kick.

"Okay, okay, now in the Shenji Camp, apart from the fire blunderbuss, what about the bird blunderbuss? What about the three-eyed blunderbuss and the four-eyed blunderbuss? And what about the fire blunderbuss such as the Lianzi blunderbuss, the kidnapping blunderbuss, and the thunder blunderbuss?"

Zhu Gaoxu was a military enthusiast in later generations and was quite familiar with the development of firearms.

The Ming Dynasty was the dynasty that used the most firearms. The Ming army was also generally equipped with firearms, and the main weapon of war turned to firearms.

Because the northern border of the Ming Dynasty has long been harassed by Tatars and pirates on the southeast coast, in order to consolidate the border defense and resist foreign invasion, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to national armaments.

Particular emphasis was placed on gunpowder and firearms, which were regarded as strategic weapons for the Ming Dynasty to defend against enemies.

Therefore, compared with the Song and Yuan dynasties, the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak.

There are all kinds of muskets and rockets everywhere, and even landmines and sea mines.

But these "pride" that the Ming army was proud of have not appeared now, and the fire guns are only simple hand-held point-fire door guns.

In Zhu Gaoxu's eyes, this thing was nothing more than a piece of garbage, and its lethality was so pitifully low that it was outrageous.

Looking at Prince Han's serious expression, Xue Lu was stunned.

What is a gunshot?

What is a three-eyed gun?

What is a four-eyed gun?

There are also Lian Zi Gun, Kidnapping Gun, Thunder Gun...

What are these things?

"My lord, what you just said are all firecrackers? Can you let craftsmen make them?"

For a time, UU Reading ｗww.uukanshu.net Xue Lu's interest greatly increased, and he suggested eagerly.

Because he knew that although this fire gun was very lethal, it was very troublesome to operate.

Therefore, Liu Xiazi's Shenji Battalion needed a large army to cover the operation, which made the rest of the army restrained during the battle, lest the Tatars find the right opportunity to directly slaughter the Shenji Battalion.

Xue Lu was not stupid, on the contrary, he heard some profound meaning.

If Prince Han can improve the Daming firearms, it will definitely be a great achievement, enough to get him the full support of the entire military!

The more advanced the firearms and the greater their lethality, the easier it will be for soldiers to fight, the casualty rate will be greatly reduced, and the chances of gaining military glory will be greatly increased...

This is a virtuous circle, enough to make millions of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty feel grateful to Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty!

By then, it’s hard to say whether the Crown Prince will be able to secure that position!

If the Prince of Han really ascends to the throne in the future, will these old brothers still worry about not having glory and wealth?

Zhu Gaoxu sighed, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

"Order these fire sticks to be sent to the Ordnance Bureau. I will draw the drawings first and then go there later."

Xue Lu was overjoyed after hearing this and quickly took the order and left.

Your Highness, the King of Han, really has a way to improve firearms!

This is an earth-shattering event!

After Xue Lu left, Zhu Gaoxu was a little distressed.

He was very hesitant, should he directly fiddle with the red-clothed cannon?

Although the current level of Daming firearms is very backward compared to later generations, it still has a foundation.

It is not difficult to create a red-clothed cannon at a huge cost.

But Zhu Gaoxu was a little scared. If he really wanted to build the red cannon, would Zhu Di, the war madman, go all the way to Europe?

Hiss...it's very possible!
