I want to be a grandson

Chapter 101 Calmly
If a row of people fire burst guns, it is very likely that the overall formation of the Yuan army will be disrupted.

Many rebels relied on this weapon to bring a lot of losses to the Yuan army.

Perhaps it was also for this reason that the Yuan army at that time was also very curious about this weapon.

After the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan army seized some firearms and sent them to Dadu for research.

At that time, Kublai Khan was also very interested in this kind of firearm, so he asked the court's workshop to study how this kind of equipment was used in actual combat.

For hitherto the function of the musket was to frighten the horses and cause confusion among the cattle.

As for the lethality caused, it all depends on the trick!
Talk is better than nothing!

Later, the workshops of the court of the Yuan Dynasty, combined with the firearms of the Southern Song Dynasty, developed a kind of fire blunderbuss.

The reason why it is called a firecracker is because the firecracker is made of metal, while the firearms of the Southern Song Dynasty were not made of metal, so they could only be called firearms before.

However, there are still many people who are used to calling it musket. After all, musket is an improvement of musket.

So it doesn't matter what you call it

The workshop of the court of the Yuan Dynasty replaced the main body of the firecracker with a metal body, which can increase the durability and make it less likely to hurt yourself when shooting.

And some craftsmen are very smart, they understand that the pressure of firearm eruption is the key to accuracy and range.

Therefore, in the study of gunpowder, it took a very long time to conduct experiments, and finally designed a gunpowder suitable for Yuan Dynasty firecrackers.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the superiority of this weapon. Although the firecrackers are not as effective as bows and arrows in combat, the volleys of firecrackers can produce intensive damage.

Can successfully resist the enemy's attack speed.

So Zhu Yuanzhang bought and captured the firecrackers of the Yuan army in various ways, and then asked his subordinates to improve the firecrackers.

At that time, when we were fighting the Yuan army's firecrackers, after one row of the Yuan army's firecrackers fired a volley, the other row slowly came up to salvo.

And Zhu Yuanzhang directly went up in two rows together, squatting in one row at the bottom, standing in one row at the top, shooting in two rows, and then after finishing, the next group of two rows came up again.

With the acceleration of shooting speed, it has gained a very huge advantage in war!

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to the development of weapons, so he intensified his research on firecrackers and invented the Hongwu firecracker.

This kind of firecracker is roughly divided into three categories. The first is the ordinary single-person firecracker, which can be operated by one person.

The second type is the firecrackers loaded on ships and towers, that is, bowl guns or small artillery.

The third type is the giant fire gun, even the ammunition was invented into a spherical shape. This kind of large artillery became the biggest lethal weapon in the Ming Dynasty, and was called the Hongwu Cannon.

Qu Neng had already made preparations here. After all, it was about the safety of His Royal Highness, so he had to be cautious.

Therefore, there are a lot of projectiles stored in order to save manpower and leave enough manpower to ensure Zhu Yunxi's safety.

So there is no need to wait for the rebels to swarm up, and the continuous artillery starts to fire, hitting the middle of the rebels fiercely!
The people who bombed them turned their backs on their backs, and suffered heavy casualties!

Therefore, in the first attack, the enemy did not come to the city at all, and even the musketeers had no chance to shoot. The rebels outside the city had already killed and injured many people, and were forced to retreat temporarily.

Zhu Yunxi was sitting in the courtyard in the city, listening to the sound of gunfire in his ears, sipping tea leisurely.

Of course the tea here is not as good as that in the palace, but Zhu Yunxi doesn't care at all.

What you drink is a kind of mood, a kind of artistic conception!
He also did not take the initiative to go to the city to encourage the soldiers.

The war has only just begun, and it is not yet time!

Besides, I am not an ordinary soldier, what can I do?
They will be even more nervous when they really get to the top of the city, which will only affect the performance of the soldiers.

In any case, in their eyes, they are all dignified people.

Since you have such an identity, you can't show it in the city all the time, otherwise it will only make you lose value!

I just need to show up at the right time to boost morale, but that is often the only action when the soldiers are difficult to hold on at critical times.

If you really want to motivate them next to them from the beginning, after a long time, the motivation effect will not be achieved!
Of course, if it is a time of life and death, it is also an incentive to fight bloody battles on the top of the city as the commander-in-chief, and take the lead.

But by that time, there wouldn't be many soldiers left on the city, and he would have failed too!
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Qu Tao who was protecting him, and asked, "How many years have you been fighting with your father?"

Qu Tao wasn't nervous at all, after all, he had gone through far more wars than Zhu Yunxi.

He saluted and replied: "His Royal Highness, I have been learning to fight with my father since I was 15 years old, and this year is the sixth year."

Zhu Yunxi nodded and smiled, "So you are 21 years old this year? Are you married? Which family is the girl from?"

Qu Tao blushed, and said shyly, "Report to Your Highness, my subordinate...haven't married yet..."

Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised and said, "Oh, why haven't you married yet at the age of 21?"

Qu Tao said with a blushing face, "I have been fighting with my father these years, and I rarely go home. There are rough people in the barracks, so I didn't mention it much."

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and asked: "When this counter-insurgency is over, I'll tell you about the marriage, and this matter will be on my shoulders. Do you like girls who are educated and reasonable from civil servants, or are you from military generals?"

Qu Tao looked at this highness who was several years younger than him, and suddenly felt that he was like his father...

Could it be that His Highness is born precocious?

This is too precocious!

I feel like a junior in front of him!
Seeing him in a daze, Zhu Yunxi said with a smile: "Have you thought about it, what type do you like?"

Qu Tao came to his senses, quickly saluted and said, "Your Highness said about the marriage, all my subordinates like it!"

Zhu Yunxie glared at him and said, "Nonsense! Marriage is a major event in life, and you can't be careless! Finding someone casually is still called marriage."

Qu Tao said embarrassingly: "It would be better if I could find a civil servant's family... who is educated and reasonable..."

Zhu Yunxi just smiled, nodded and said: "Okay! This matter is on me! I will tell your father later, if he doesn't object...it's useless for him to object, I'll make the decision for you Already!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Qu Tao said happily.

Zhu Yunxi then ordered: "Although you usually guard by my side, you still have to study military books diligently. Your father is a fierce general. He has done well in Bashu these years and is also good at fighting in the mountains...

You have to study hard from him, and try to figure out how he trains and employs troops. Look at Qi Tai and Tie Xuan, they are both literati, so they still have to learn military affairs as usual. "

"The people around me have very high requirements. They must be able to handle government affairs and govern the country, and they must also be able to make meritorious deeds immediately. You still have a lot to learn in the future!"

Qu Tao knew that this was His Highness's regard for him, so he knelt down and saluted him immediately and said, "This subordinate will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!"

Zhu Yunxi nodded in satisfaction, "Get up, listen to the gunfire outside, drink tea, not bad."

Qu Tao said: "Your Highness is calm and calm, and I admire you!"

Zhu Yunxi looked outside and said: "This is just the beginning, and it will only become more exciting in the future!"
