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

Ordnance Bureau compound.

Zhu Di sat on the Taishi chair a little tiredly, unable to recover yet.

Zhu Gaoxu was on the side stroking his back and comforted him: "Dad, what a big deal, isn't it just that the efficiency has improved a little? From now on, you can always send troops to the Northern Expedition to fight the Tatars, and you can just wash the ground with arrows. As for this Are you excited?"

A shower of arrows?

When Zhu Di heard this, his body trembled and he almost stumbled over again.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly called out: "Where is the imperial doctor? Come quickly, it's going to happen again..."

In fact, he knew in his heart that the emergence of this machine had epoch-making significance for Ming Dynasty.

I have to admit that cavalry was the natural king of ancient battlefields.

And the grassland nomads are natural cavalry!

The number of cavalry is a direct indicator of the strength of the Central Plains dynasty's army.

However, the Han, Song, Ming and other dynasties in the Central Plains were extremely short of war horses. As a result, there were too few qualified cavalry, and they were suppressed by the nomadic grassland regimes for many years.

After all, the nomadic people are born to be a people on horseback. Everyone, male, female, old and young, is a skilled person with bow and horse, and their superb riding skills are awe-inspiring.

However, the dense arrow rain of the Central Plains Dynasty Infantry Corps was undoubtedly an efficient attack method in this era of cold weapon battlefields.

The most classic way for the Central Plains infantry to deal with the prairie cavalry is to shoot arrows. If one round of arrow rain is not enough, then there will be another round!

If the distance between the two sides is a bit far, you can wait for the prairie cavalry to enter the shooting range and then launch it from a long distance. When the distance between the two sides continues to close, you can use the powerful crossbow to shoot.

All in all, as long as there are enough arrows, it is very easy for the Central Plains infantry to defeat a prairie cavalry head-on.

Of course, if it is an armored cavalry such as the "Iron Buddha", both men and horses are covered in thick iron armor. Not to mention arrows, even swords and guns will not be a big problem.

To deal with such armored cavalry, one can only rely on firearms with high accuracy and huge lethality.

As the saying goes, "when the guns are fired, the men and horses are shattered." No matter how fast the cavalry is and how thick the armor is, it will be of no use in front of the dense musket array.

As for whether to shoot the man or the horse first, it depends on the situation.

Although the Ming Dynasty has the Shenji Battalion, the world's first special firearms unit, even though the Shenji Battalion's firearms have a wide variety, they are still too crude and their lethality is somewhat unsatisfactory.

Reforming firearms is Zhu Gaoxu's next direction, and it has even been put on the agenda.

However, the Tatars and Oaras that the Ming Dynasty has to deal with now are no longer the Mongolian cavalry that swept across Europe and Asia, but a group of poorly equipped nomadic regimes.

To deal with them, sharp arrows are enough. Coupled with firearms, there is no reason for Ming to lose in a normal duel.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu first manufactured lathes and molds to mass-produce sharp arrows. As for the research and development of firearms, he needed to figure it out slowly.

Facing the poor Tatars and Oaras, the low-level cavalry didn't even have decent armor, and a direct rain of arrows was enough to kill them to a rout.

It's just that Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that the majestic Emperor Yongle would have such poor mental endurance.

These are just arrows, not firearms.

If one day he tinkered with the rifle, Emperor Yongle wouldn't be happy to go over to it?

"Dad, your mentality is important. You want to be the emperor of the ages. Pay attention to your mentality!"

"What a big deal, why do you act like you have never seen the world..."

Zhu Di: "???"

Your uncle!

Do you dare to say that I have never seen the world?

When I swept across Mobei, you were still a baby!

For a moment, Zhu Di felt angry and funny. Looking at his beloved son in front of him, he showed a happy smile.

This second child has made another great contribution!

But how could this kid know these things?

Liu Bian and Song Zhong just said that the lathe was made by them, but the drawings were provided by their second brother.

Zhu Di has always known his son's every move. Why didn't he know that he knew all these strange skills?

"Son, tell me the truth, where did that blueprint come from?"

Yao Guangxiao also looked over, with an inexplicable light shining in his eyes.

"Your Highness the King of Han, this poor monk once studied the Mohist organ technique and has quite a lot of experience in it."

"But the lathe tool just now, I can guarantee that even the Mohist machine skills are not so exquisite."

After hearing this, Zhu Di's expression changed again and he looked at Aizi in disbelief.

Zhu Gaoxu curled his lips and didn't know how to answer.

It cannot be said that the Mohist machine learning techniques could not produce lathes, it is just that those Mohist sages were limited by the times.

As for why Zhu Gaoxu remembered the rough drawings of later lathes, it is not clear to outsiders.

Well, he went to the factory and tightened screws...

"Dad, Young Master, I don't know why these drawings suddenly appeared in my head..."

"It seems that that night, I had a dream about an old man with a white beard..."

Out of fear of the two big guys in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu was a little nervous and simply made up an excuse.

After all, the ancients dreamed of an old man with a white beard, which happened so often that no one could fault it.

In order to deify himself and impress his subjects, the great ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang made up many legendary stories about the old man with white beard.

So he didn't think there was anything wrong with him making it up like this. He even got more and more excited as he talked about it, talking endlessly and eloquently.

But Zhu Gaoxu didn't notice at all. Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao looked at each other and saw the seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Ahem, that's enough. You go ahead and do your work, second-in-command, to expand production as soon as possible and build more lathes."

Zhu Di was the first to speak and interrupted him tiredly.

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, got up and left angrily.

After he left, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Zhu Di's expression suddenly became strange.

"Monk, do you think what this traitor just said...is true?"

Yao Guangxiao's expression changed, and after taking a deep breath, he bravely told a shocking news.

"Your Majesty, may you still remember that I met Yuan Zhongche that day for the King of Han?"

Zhu Di nodded subconsciously, "I remember you said at the time that the second child was a sign of wealth."

He always remembered this incident and was even a little disappointed at the time.

Thinking about it, Zhu Di's expression suddenly changed, he glared at Yao Guangxiao and shouted: "Monk, what do you mean? Did you lie to me?"

Yao Guangxiao smiled bitterly and nodded, deciding to tell the truth.

After all, the old man with the white beard, this is not what everyone can dream of!

When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's biological mother was pregnant with Taizu, she dreamed that an old man with a white beard came to the wheat field near her home and gave her an elixir.

The next day after eating, Emperor Gao was born, and the red light in the room was so bright that the neighbors thought it was Lao Zhu's house that was on fire, and they came to help one after another. When they arrived, they discovered that it was his own. illusion!

Zhu Di took a deep breath, feeling a little scared and a little excited.

"Tell me, what does the second child look like?"

"The sun's horns are long and accurate, and the strange bones are piercing the top of the head. He is not the emperor of peace like His Highness the Crown Prince, but the hero who opens up new territories like the Emperor. Your Highness the Grand Sun is both!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di froze on the spot, dumbfounded on the spot.

The boss is the Prime Minister of Taiping!

The second child is the prime minister of Kaijiang!

Loving grandchildren is both!

How can this be?

What the hell are my descendants?

An emperor of peace, a hero who opened up new territories!

But there is only one emperor, and there is only one dragon chair...
