little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 232
Today's weather is warm and pleasant, but when seeing Wei Chao's gleaming teeth and gloomy eyes, Rodia couldn't help shivering, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed: "What do you want to say, are you talking about it?" Are you scaring me?"

Wei Chao's smile completely faded away, and his face became gloomy and indeterminate: "The palace rules are fixed, and those who talk too much and act recklessly will be rewarded and promoted." Seeing the confused faces of Rodia and Mo Jiangcheng, Wei Chao's tone was calm and his eyes were dark: "Joining an official rank is just a piece of kraft paper soaked in water, and it is so blurred on the face..." Suddenly he grinned: "The mouth is not only used for talking, but also for venting. .”

"If you don't want to go out as a dead person, you must know how to say no evil and see what is wrong. This servant is purely good intentions. Don't blame this servant for being unpredictable." He said with a cold snort, quickened his pace, When the line leads the way.

Seeing Rodia's face turning red and white, Mo Jiangcheng smiled secretly, but his face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "Everything that father-in-law said is the truth. If you don't want to go back to Haojing alive, you can continue to follow the Just act like that just now." Rodia is arrogant, but he is not a brainless person. Seeing Mo Jiangcheng say the same, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked, and quickly shouted: "Okay, I know I was wrong, and I will follow your rules. Isn't it okay to do what you say?"

In the study room of Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo sleeps late but wakes up early. He is dressed in the attire of a bright yellow prince, with a golden dragon with four claws on his shoulders and a dragon protecting his heart in the middle. This body further accentuated his indigo hair, eyebrows and picturesque eyes, like a tall and straight poplar bathed in the morning light, noble and unrestrained, unrestrained and unrestrained like jade.

At the sound of the door, Tu Zhu brought some refreshments, but the absent-minded Zhu Changluo hurriedly used some and asked her to take it down.When tidying up, Tu Zhu suddenly found that the sun was shining on the prince through the window lattice, casting a light golden layer on his jade-like face, and for some reason, his heart beat a little anxiously...

People are like the spring breeze, which blows people's arms once, and then blows people's hearts. After three blows, peaches and plums are already in full bloom, and the flowers are pressing down on the branches.

When Tu Zhu, who was blushing and heartbeating, was about to go out, he suddenly heard the prince's clear voice: "Go and see Wang An, are you back?"

Before Tu Zhu agreed, Wang An had already come in, with a familiar happy smile: "Your Highness, Mr. Zhao is here."

Zhu Changluo was overjoyed, stood up and said, "Please!"

After a while, Zhao Shizhen came in with a box in his hands. His old face was full of excitement, and he knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the door: "The old minister boasted about going to Haikou, but he didn't finish it on time. He is ashamed to see His Highness." He glanced at his hands Box: "Fortunately, it finally succeeded, and I can make up for it a little bit."

Zhu Changluo rushed forward to help him up, and said emotionally: "Why did Mr. Zhao say this? Chang Luo naturally knows that there are many difficulties in making this thing. It is extremely difficult for the boss to be successful! If this thing is successful, Mr. Zhao will You can make the first contribution to the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhao Shizhen, who was still worried about being blamed by the crown prince, was only grateful when he heard what he said: "The prince's praise is ridiculous, and the old minister can't afford it."

Daming Sheji's first achievement?This sentence caused an uproar in Wang An's heart instantly. Shock can be described in four words: earth-shattering. His eyes unconsciously glanced at the box that the old man was holding all the way, and kept wondering what was in it. Let the prince attach so much importance.I felt a little regretful in my heart, I had asked old man Zhao to open it for me to take a few glances when I knew I was on the road, and it was hard to scratch for a while.

Zhu Changluo glanced at the people around him, and said coldly: "You all go out." Then he turned to Wang An and said, "Go and see, if Wei Chao brings that Rodia, bring him to Qinzheng Palace and wait." I."

Everyone responded in unison, turned around and retreated one file at a time.

Zhu Changluo, who couldn't wait, turned his head and smiled at Zhao Shizhen: "Let's try the hard work of the boss?"

Zhao Shizhen's eyes were shining brightly, his old face was flushed with excitement: "I will stick to my wish, but I dare not ask you."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, the old and the young were very happy.

Zhao Shizhen reached out to hit the box, and two muskets, one long and one short, suddenly appeared in Zhu Changluo's sight.The steel barrel, the wooden gun body, the lighter hammer and the return spring are fixed at the trigger of the gun handle. The design of this set of devices is really ingenious and exquisite. Zhu Changluo took a few more glances, and then glanced at Zhao Shizhen with admiration. , Just for this, you can know how much Zhao Shizhen put his heart into it.

The gun barrel is divided into female and female tubes, and a sleeve is designed with a front sight on it for aiming and a fire hole.The sub tube is thin, the main tube is thick, the sub tube, the main tube and the return spring are all in the casing. This design seems simple, but in fact it is very complicated. When loading, the left hand pulls the handle of the female tube exposed outside the casing, revealing Add bombs to the sub-tube, then let go and reset it, put a flint on the fire hole, so that when the trigger is pulled, the lighter hammer will fall, sparks will burst out, the gunpowder will be ignited, and the bullet will burst out.

Looking at the spear in his hand, Zhu Changluo's eyes became brighter and brighter: Looking at the world, such a flintlock is unique!And the meaning and power of this thing's birth will enter everyone's sight without any suspense on the battlefield in the near future.

This is the world's first real flintlock musket, the only improvement is the firing method of manual ignition.Compared with the matchlock gun, the lethality of the two is about the same, but what the straight advantage of the flintlock gun is, only Zhu Changluo knows.

Anyone who has used muskets on the battlefield knows that most of the battlefields are set in steep places with changing conditions and complex terrain. Although muskets are powerful, they can almost only exist in one wave on the ever-changing battlefield.Because after letting go of a round, you have to clean the barrel and reload. These are not problems. The problem is ignition... In case of strong wind and heavy rain, this kind of musket is simply worthless.

All the evils of this have changed at this moment, and it's all about this new ignition device.Having this device not only completely changed the disadvantages of the matchlock gun, but also solved the problem of a country's army.

This is what really made Zhu Changluo rejoice.As a latecomer, he knew very well that the flintlock itself was not a very advanced weapon. Apart from being more convenient to use, there was not much essential difference from the matchlock.But the flintlock can exert the greatest efficiency because of its appearance, and the resulting line infantry tactics are the most important thing for Zhu Changluo!
What is line infantry tactics?As the name suggests, on the battlefield, line up in a row, fire the guns here, and reload the guns at the back, and use them alternately, endlessly.This kind of tactic is not uncommon, because on the battlefield of the cold weapon era, archers have always followed this tactic.But they are archers, not infantry... The infantry tactics with flintlock guns is what Zhu Changluo is most proud of.

A good archer needs several years of training to become successful, but what about a fusilier?Zhu Changluo finally showed a smug smile... If possible, it only takes three months, or even shorter!Anyone can do it without deliberate selection and training. A farmer can be an excellent infantryman, but it is impossible to become a qualified archer.

What is the difference in meaning, and the stupidest fool would like to know why.

Looking at the current war, cavalry and archers are undoubtedly the most elite main force of all combat forces.However, cultivating such an elite army requires excellent equipment and long-term training, but it cannot be accomplished overnight.

What is most lacking on the battlefield?It's people, it's fighting power.

After a short period of training, a person will become a god of death on the battlefield. Zhu Changluo doesn't believe that there is anyone in this world who can stop the attack of the great Ming army.

All this is impossible, because the appearance of these two flintlock guns has become a reality.Zhu Changluo looked at Zhao Shizhen, and found that the other party was looking at him with adoring eyes. Zhu Changluo suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Master Zhao, have you tried it?"

Zhao Shizhen smiled proudly: "His Royal Highness Haojiao learned that the official has tried many times and succeeded every time!"

"Okay!" Unable to hold back the excitement in his heart any longer, Zhu Changluo grabbed his hand: "Lord Zhao, come out with Chang Luo for a try."

Wang An, who was waiting at the door with sharp eyes, saw that the prince was holding a strange thing like a long pole that he had never seen before. Everyone, please avoid them."

All the maids and eunuchs waiting in the courtyard consciously went outside the second gate, Wang An closed the gate of the courtyard, and ran over to serve in a hurry.

Zhu Changluo and Zhao Shizhen looked at each other, and Zhao Shizhen took out the pre-loaded fireball from the bag, loaded it on the gun with Zhu Changluo, and handed it up respectfully with both hands, "His Royal Highness please try the gun!"

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhu Changluo took it with both hands, which was quite heavy, with his feet spread apart, level with his shoulders, he lowered his head gently, squinted one eye, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at a willow tree at the entrance of the courtyard... while watching Wang An's eyeballs almost fell off, and he had no idea what the prince was doing.

Just because he doesn't understand doesn't mean that Zhao Shizhen doesn't understand, the so-called expert will know if there is something as soon as he reaches out his hand.The posture, footwork, and demeanor of the prince holding the gun perfectly interpret the original intention of the gun's design. After only a few glances, Zhao Shizhen couldn't help applauding in his heart.

Zhu Changluo pulled the trigger, there was a flash of fire, and there was a loud noise. The big willow tree in the courtyard was flying, and a deep white stubble the size of a sea bowl appeared, and a puff of gunpowder smoke filled the nostrils.

Unprepared at all, Wang An's ears buzzed, and he fell to the ground involuntarily in shock, his face turned pale, his eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close.

This loud noise startled many people, and after a while of shouting, Jin Yiwei guarding the door rushed in one after another.But seeing Zhu Changluo standing there smiling leisurely, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

Wang An, who was extremely embarrassed, quickly got up, ran to the prince first, pulled Zhu Changluo's sleeve and looked around carefully. Zhu Changluo smiled and said, "I'm fine." The gun in Zhu Changluo's hand was lifted, and the lingering fear on his face was still lingering: "Your Highness, was that divine thunder just shot from here?"

Seeing his amazed face and typing again, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but smile and nodded, indicating that he was right.

As if in a dream, Wang An swayed towards the willow tree, touched the big hole that was blown out, and looked at the sawdust on the ground. Wang An breathed out sincerely: "My God..."

Swinging away the bewildered crowd, Zhu Changluo glanced at the gun in his hand, then turned his head and nodded to Zhao Shizhen: "Daming Sheji's first contribution, the boss deserves it!"

Zhao Shizhen, who was originally elated and overjoyed, suddenly became silent when he saw what Zhu Changluo said. He shook his head and said slowly: "Zhao Shizhen has studied firearms all his life. He thought that looking at the world, I said number one, and I didn't dare to call it number two. .But until today, the old minister didn't know what a real firearm is! If the crown prince hadn't been pedantic about heaven and man, Zhao Shizhen would have made this kind of firearm even if he split his head, and this veteran dare not take the credit."

Zhu Changluo shook his hands and smiled: "Master Zhao is too modest, Chang Luo is just a whimsical idea, it is you who really made it come true, you deserve this credit, you deserve it!"

Just as Zhao Shizhen was about to be humble, he saw that the prince's eyes suddenly fell on the barrel of the gun that had cooled down, and his face was a little stern.

Mo Jiangcheng and Rodia, who were waiting in the Palace of Qinzheng, waited for a while, and drank a big bowl of tea together until they couldn't even see the color. If it wasn't for getting the Five Elements Soil of Mojiang City, thinking of the huge profit, Rodia sighed and had to grit his teeth to hold back. In the end, he couldn't sit still, spread his two long legs, and kept walking in the middle of the hall go.

Mo Jiangcheng has been in a trance since he entered the palace.Passing by a palace lady in front of her, she would subconsciously raise her head and take a look.Sitting here at this moment, my heart is in a mess and I have no idea, although I have made up my mind long ago, but when the real situation comes, I don't know how to speak to the prince.

Just when everyone had something on their minds, but they were all equally anxious, there was a loud bang... The vibration was so loud that even the teacups on the table rattled.

Mo Jiangcheng was fine, but Rodia stopped suddenly, his face was full of surprise, and his blue eyes were eager to inquire.
