Chapter 1338 Artillery Guards (for Zhao 3 Huahe of the Silver League, Six)
There are a lot of free coins, but since I promised everyone to have a small explosion, the Jazz will naturally not break the promise, continue to add more today, it will explode!
Another: The book friend "Born Like Heaven" turned from a thief to a regular, and wrote a book review. Jazz is very grateful, thank you for your support.
It's just that your book review contained the word 'Ban', which was ruthlessly deleted by the system. But Jazz still saw the first half of the book review in the background, thank you!

"I'm not an idiot."
Waking up early in the morning, Harachar sneered in the hall, and his subordinates couldn't bear it any longer, and wanted to trouble Fang Xing.
The man who had his tendons severed with a knife was sitting in the corner like a lost soul.
For a Harleen, a broken tendon in his right hand is almost useless.
And the useless people naturally lose their value, whether it is family or job.
"Shut up!"
The yelling of his subordinates made Harachar upset. After he stopped drinking, he was upset and pushed open the door to go out.
The courtyard of the Huitong Hall is pretty good, with flowers and plants, but because of the weather, it looks a bit bleak.
A few servants walked by, and they didn't pay attention when they saw Harachal - the explanation above, ordinary hospitality is enough.
Envoys from various countries have already stayed in Daming for a long time, enjoying the delicious food and prosperity of Daming every day, basically they don't want to go back to China without being summoned.
After leaving the small courtyard, Harachar watched the servants walking back and forth. It was time for breakfast, but he had no appetite, so he asked two people to follow him to the street.
Just after the end of the new year, the pedestrians on the street are obviously in a hurry, and they are no longer leisurely like the previous few days.
The people from Wucheng Bingma Division were lazily patrolling, but they couldn't find the culprit.
When they arrived at the Ministry of Rites, Lu Zhen met them, but he avoided talking about when Zhu Di would have time, and beat Halachar away with a set of Tai Chi.
"It's almost on the verge of swords and swords, and I still want to see His Majesty. This is to spy on Da Ming's reality!"
Recently, Lu Zhen has a good relationship with Zhu Gaochi, and he is also in a good mood, so he proudly analyzes Harachal's intentions.
However, Harachal, whom Lu Zhen imagined was fooled away by him, changed his clothes under the cover of his followers, transformed himself, and left the city almost like a Ming man.
Going out of the city, we wandered all the way to the big market. Harachar went in and went shopping. The dazzling array of goods made him nod frequently.
This sheep is fat!
But that rail carriage did not attract the attention of Harachal. In the country of Halle, the slaves worked hard in exchange for food, and there was no need to use these weird looking things.
At last Harachar went into a liquor store, bought several jugs, and hired a carriage to drive them back.
Later, two men entered the shop.
"What did the man say just now? What did he take?"
The shopkeeper didn't need to ask, he just had to look at them to know the origins of these two people, so he hurriedly explained.
"This man came in and asked for wine, and then the younger one made some for him to taste. There was no bargaining, and the payment was silver, and the younger one gave me some change..."
"Are you hiding something?"
"No, absolutely not. The small ones are well-behaved businessmen who never dare to get involved in things that don't belong to them."
"Very well, you, including your family, have been targeted, and it will not stop until the end of this matter, so if you are smart, then think about it..."
Then the two followed Harachar all the way, threatening every place he went, and checked all the people who had spoken to him until lunch.
And Fang Xing also received the news, he was a little dissatisfied with the way of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
"Stop him directly at the gate of the city. What kind of city do you want to leave? Can the envoy leave the city without permission? It's unnecessary! I guess Harachal is laughing at this moment!"
Jia Quan also said helplessly: "We all know what's going on, but the country of Halle is Daming's great enemy, no matter how much we attach importance to it, we can't be wrong!"
"Are you afraid that they have insiders? Or are you afraid of their people who sneak in?"
"I'm afraid!"
Since Zhu Yuanzhang killed a group of generals,
Daming has never encountered such a formidable enemy again, and Jin Zhong of the Ministry of War has already checked the guards in various places. The old man rolled up his sleeves after the new year, saying that he was going to do a big job.
But Meng Ying, who was uneasy because of Meng San's rebellion, did not dare to act. At this time, he was worried that any action would trigger Zhu Di's reaction.
The Military Department and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion are the two fulcrums for controlling the Ming army. Once the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion stopped, the Military Department felt a bit difficult to move.
"Meng Ying! What do you mean?"
Jin Zhong found Meng Ying, regardless of the presence of his subordinates, he asked directly.
"The military department can only be mobilized. If you don't go to various places to investigate strictly, are you going to wait for the kingdom of Halle to fight over before asking for surrender?"
Facing the bearded old Jin Zhong, Meng Ying just waved her hand, and said helplessly after everyone had retreated: "Lord Jin, Meng has already handed in the memorial, but His Majesty has not responded."
Jin Zhong's anger dissipated instantly.
What is Zhu Di thinking?
A courtier will always involuntarily speculate on the meaning of the king, and this is not divided by loyal ministers and independent ministers.
...
Accompanied by Song Li, Zhu Di inspected the firearms workshop of the Ministry of Industry.
There are rows of molds in front of the eyes, and the craftsmen are pouring molten copper water into it.
It was bitterly cold outside, but it was steaming hot here, and some of the craftsmen were even working with their upper body bare.
Zhu Di saw the black spots and scars on those people's bodies, which were burns.
"Your Majesty, these are cannons. There were a lot of scraps at the beginning, but they got better after a while."
Song Li didn't know much about the artillery, he just talked about the situation that he usually reported.
Walking through here, there is a large warehouse behind.
"Open!"
The door opened, and an indescribable smell came.
Through the dim light outside, Zhu Di saw hundreds of cannons neatly arranged inside.
Walking in, reaching out to feel the cold but safe artillery, Zhu Di said: "The guns and artillery have to be built, and they will be replaced by Shenjiying first."
Wu Zhong only nodded, and then Zhu Di walked out.
"We summoned Liu Sheng, Meng Ying, Jin Zhong, and Fang Xing to the palace."
...
"I'm going to replace the Shenji Battalion with muskets and artillery."
The four people below agreed immediately without thinking about it.
Once the Shenji Battalion is completely refitted, it is equivalent to adding a guard.
"The Ministry of Industry has built more than a hundred artillery pieces, all of which have been handed over to the Shenji Battalion and internally organized as Thunder Guards."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Liu Sheng was a little excited, but Fang Xing was a little excited.
This is the large-scale concentrated use of artillery!
"From my point of view, firearms and artillery must be used in a concentrated manner to be powerful. Thousands of cannons are fired at the same time, so that the enemy can be intimidated! After Liu Sheng returned, he immediately summoned people to learn, and transferred most of the people from the original Shenji Battalion to Thunder Guards Let the artillery, as for the shortage, let the Ministry of War choose and fill it in."
More than a hundred artillery pieces need a lot of gunners, and the Shenji Battalion will be expanded.
Fang Xing was a little distracted. He recalled the scenes of the later generations: Thousands of guns fired, the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the enemy soldiers were smashed to pieces under the artillery fire.
Although the power of the current cannons varies greatly, when these more than a hundred cannons are used intensively, the power, the shocking power...
Zhu Di stood up and said, "Do you have any objections?"
"The minister agrees."
"The minister agrees."
"The minister agrees."
Fang Xing, who was distracted, dryly agreed, and was grabbed by Liu Sheng when he got out.
"I heard that your gunners in Jubaoshanwei are very powerful, how many are here?"
Fang Xing nodded and said: "No problem, the Shenji Battalion will become His Majesty's trump card in the future!"
