Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 89 Weapons
"How does this work?"

Chen Dong's simple and honest face was full of fear and uneasiness, and he looked like an honest man.

"If not, I will give it to you, the general."

"No, my knife is a deposit, you take it first."

Seeing this, Zhu Yixi persisted: "Tiger, take it back first, and I will send someone to pay tomorrow."

Chen Dong was stunned.

Just like that, he lowered his waist knife and watched the young general leave.

The vendors on the side, passers-by pointing and pointing.

"This general is very different from the past!"

Chen Dong muttered, the tiger's eyes glowed.

Chen Yongfu witnessed all this, turned his head and glanced at the stunned Orion, and couldn't help but sigh, this general has such a good control over people's hearts.

With a waist knife, he accepted a fierce general.

"Come on, let's go to the firearms camp."

The firearms battalion composed of musketeers, artillerymen, and grenadiers reached 3000 people.

They are all veterans who have trained for many days, and they can be said to be Zhu Yixi's real confidants.

The musketeers, holding their flintlocks, wiped, filled, aimed, and ignited in one go.

There is no shortage of gunpowder and so on, so basically there will be live ammunition shooting every day, just to train their strength.

"Currently there are only 500 people, and I plan to recruit another [-] people to make up [-] people."

Zhu Yixi took Chen Yongfu for a walk, and said happily.

When it comes to the grenadier, it is even simpler, just throw the grenade directly, and ignite the grenade instead of the fuze.

All of them are thick-backed, wearing single clothes, and they look scary.

"General." Yan Guochao's body was nearly two meters, and Chen Yongfu was shocked by the huge attack.

This expression is exactly the same as that of Zhang Fei who called Oni Jiang.

"How's the grenadier training? You're my secret weapon."

Zhu Yixi asked softly.

"do not worry."

Yan Guochao laughed hurriedly, his tonsils could be seen with his big mouth: "Brothers are extremely strong, and fifty steps are no problem."

"Not only must you throw it far, but you must also throw it accurately."

Zhu Yixi emphasized: "In a few days, I will add 500 people to you. If you make up one thousand, you will also be promoted from total to thousand."

"Hey, thank you General." Yan Guochao was overjoyed, his thick eyebrows raised: "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of my brothers."

Zhu Yixi said a few words of comfort, and then said to Chen Yongfu: "We still have to select a few hundred strong men to enter the grenadier camp."

"General, is it a pity to only let them throw bombs?"

Chen Yongfu's expression changed, and he said his suggestion: "Once soldiers and horses approach, wouldn't they become targets?"

"Relying on their majestic bodies, it is better to shape them into heavy infantry, wearing heavy armor and holding sharp knives, which can be compared to chariots."

"Really?" In Zhu Yixi's mind, the image of a tauren appeared in Zhu Yixi's mind, holding a pair of axes, majestic.

"exactly."

Zhu Yixi was overjoyed, and said: "Hanging a grenade on his waist, holding a double-axe, by the way, wearing horns on his head, and painting his face, it's extremely scary."

"Just do it like this."

Chen Yongfu was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't thought that Zhu Yixi would be so interested in coming.

After the inspection, Zhu Yixi summoned everyone in the firearms battalion, escorted the potbellied purchasing officer, and publicly executed him.

Zhu Mou, the director of supplies, stood aside tremblingly, the corners of his mouth trembling.

"Boom—"

I saw that the potbellied purchasing officer was tied up, with a flag on his head, and three artillery pieces were aiming at firing a hundred paces away.

Three sounds, and one hit.

This corrupt officer was blown to pieces, his flesh and blood flying everywhere.

"Collude with government servants, pretend to be pretentious, tarnish the reputation of the army, oppress good people, embezzle and accept bribes..."

"Remember, this is what happens when you break the military law."

Zhu Yixi warned the group of soldiers loudly, and kept emphasizing: "No matter who it is, as long as it violates the military law, it will end like this. The use of waste is just enough for the artillerymen to practice."

The people were terrified.

On the ground, there is no corpse left, which is really cruel.

Seeing the deterrent force, Zhu Yixi nodded, and then said to Zhu Mou: "You boy, the supervision is weak, so you will be dismissed from the post of director and temporarily replace him to make atonement."

"Punishment for those who know their mistakes in a humble position."

Zhu Mou heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly apologized with a smile.

Chen Yongfu on the side was stunned, his face turned pale.

It's too scary to use cannons to bombard a disagreement.

Zhu Yixi was very satisfied after a performance of killing chickens to warn monkeys, and immediately announced: "An extra meal tonight, eat pork."

"Woohoo, hooray—"

Everyone swept away the gloom at this moment and cheered instantly. There is nothing like eating meat.

Chen Yongfu squinted his eyes and looked at all this with a smile.

After beating and pulling, the mood of the soldiers fluctuated with the words of General Zhu.

General Zhu is very good at controlling the morale of the army.

Immediately, under Chen Zongbing's gaze, Zhu Yixi came to the audience regardless of his identity, and greeted the soldiers.

"Is the salary enough?"

"Not warm? It doesn't matter, the cotton coat will arrive soon."

"Homesick? Don't worry, I will definitely call back to Xi'an."

After nagging for half an hour, Zhu Yixi got along with the soldiers and communicated cordially in Xi'an dialect.

"General, I want to eat dry noodles..."

"I don't know who has taken over my field..."

As a result, township parties are everywhere.

After listening to the accent all the way, Zhu Yixi left the barracks.

Chen Yongfu also left, went back to the new barracks, and continued to train new recruits.

Zhu Yixi glanced at the new barracks, pondered for a moment, and thought:

Xiangdang just makes the identity more intimate.

Ideological education work such as loyalty to the emperor and serving the country must also be paid close attention to.

Immediately, he went to the craftsman camp.

Under the leadership of Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang, the Carpenter Camp quickly took root in Nanzheng.

"General Zhu, there are quite a lot of iron mines in Hanzhong. There is an iron mine outside Nanzheng City. In addition, the mines in Ningqiang Prefecture and Lueyang County are very large. You can buy iron ore directly."

Wang Yan was supported, and said happily: "In this way, in half a month, the red cannon can be cast."

"With the red cannon, Dasan Pass can be considered completely stable."

Zhu Yixi also had a smile on his face.

With iron, it represents the complete recovery of the craftsman camp.

"My lord, another two thousand flintlock guns will be produced. In addition, more Franco cannons of three hundred catties will be produced."

"Don't worry." Wang Yan nodded, stroking his beard: "Since the standard has been unified, the speed has increased a lot, and the caliber of the Fran cannon has been unified. From the current point of view, it should be feasible to produce [-] guns per month."

Zhu Yixi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the production capacity can keep up.

However, he immediately thought of the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and that equipment was almost specially designed to restrain the firearms of the Ming army.

"Jian slave armor is mostly cotton armor, which is not only lighter, but also effective against muskets. I'm afraid even flintlock guns may not be the opponent."

"Your words are indeed justified."

Wang Yan was taken aback, then nodded seriously and said: "Although the flintlock is sharp, it may not be able to break through the armor of Jiannu."

Zhu Yixi fell into deep thought.

The muskets were not powerful enough, and the artillery was too bulky to be accurate.

Well, is it okay to be somewhere in between?

"I figured it out!"

Zhu Yixi said happily.
