open sea

Chapter 258
The flying of small flags and arrows did not attract Emperor Longqing's attention. Although it won the praise of Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, it was nothing new to Emperor Longqing.

It's just a rocket, who hasn't seen it?
That's right, Emperor Longqing had never seen it before, but he really wasn't surprised at all.

The emperor has no desire for material things, no matter what he sees, there is only one question but no idea: Is this something from this world?If it is, it's okay, it's his; if it's not, it's fake, and it's okay.

He has desires, but not material desires. When he wants something, he will not be satisfied when he gets it, because it belongs to him.

There is nothing in the world that does not belong to him.

Emperor Longqing lost interest in such a whizzing flying thing just by taking a look at it when it exploded.

These are the weapons owned by Daming, those guns that are much shorter than usual, those cannons that are much thicker than usual, these are the weapons of Daming.Weapons can be made by themselves, and outstanding people like General Chen can also be born by themselves, so there is no surprise.

Just a rocket——Emperor Longqing put down the jade-covered telescope, and Chen Ju immediately took over the telescope beside him. The emperor first looked at the envoys of Tatar and Oirat who were staring at him with slightly open mouths on the left, and then at Liu Chenglong and others on the right. The envoys of the tributary country praised him, and the emperor's already straight spine stood up straighter.

He cared more about the 31 cannons that hadn't fired yet, because this, this time, could let those northern natives who couldn't let him overthrow the world on behalf of him, and who couldn't reach him know that the majesty of the Son of Heaven could not be challenged.

surrender.

On the evening of November [-]th in the fourth year, under the sunset, Emperor Longqing of Ming Dynasty Zhu Zaihou’s face was as serious as possible and with the majesty of the emperor, but the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, showing an unconcealable smile and nervousness, and he shouted crazily in his heart .

Let them know!General Chen!
Let them know that Hu and Yue are one!
Let them know that the sun and the moon shine on the Huayi family!
Let them know that I have been the king of China since ancient times!
Bang bang, bang bang!
The smoke of gunpowder filled the air in front of the Banner Army, this time Zhao Gongming was still alive, because the Banner Army knew that the emperor they were born to serve was watching them from the tower a hundred steps away, and someone even pulled the trigger tightly at the same time. Tears came, and even though the tears blurred their vision, it was just right for them.

The blurry eyes and the diffuse gunpowder smoke seem to make them hallucinate, as if everything is back to the battle of Juma River, their hands are constantly shaking due to nervousness or excitement, when the iron cavalry of King Alda crossed the Great Wall and trampled on their homeland At that time, the three armies of the Ming Dynasty were all defeated.

It was the most honorable fight of many of their lives, smashing the armor of the invaders with their muskets and beheading the invaders with their knives.

It was as if the old days had reappeared, but the sky was blue, the clouds were low, and the drums and cannons hadn't sounded. They heard someone's horse standing up in shock from the volley of gunfire, and the knight immediately strangled the horse's neck and shouted: "Shoot forward!"

The guns in the front row no longer retreated, and stood still to charge the powder. The banner soldiers behind rushed forward to shoot with the guns. The sound of the guns was even more coherent and compact than in the Juma River trenches. Far beyond Chen Mu's expectation.

He has never seen such a high morale in his banner army, even if they are in a desperate situation, even if they face an enemy several times his own, even if they offer high rewards, never before.

In other words, he couldn't imagine that his banner army would be so full of vitality in the face of the enemy's formation built of wood and mud.

This even made him believe that even if there was no cover on the flat land in front of him, even if they were facing the boundless hussars of the Ji Neng Department, as long as the emperor watched from the city, they could fight through the enemy line to the last man.

The army formation spread out slightly due to the rapid and dense bursts of fire forward, and the people were no longer so densely packed, leaving enough space for one person to pass through. They could no longer maintain an absolute square formation, but like a stretching diagonal line line, but above and below the city, no one can see this clearly.

They could only see the three defense lines of bird guns composed of five hundred banner troops striding forward quickly, the guns firing at a steady pace, and the guns breathing at a pace. Looming, there are dozens of steps away - the dense and tall wooden signs are riddled with holes by the spring-like lead bullets.

"Drum!"

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!
Chen Ju clenched his fists on the wall and said something in a low voice. The stubborn old man next to him raised his head and asked without turning his head, "What did the right supervisor say?"

Emperor Longqing looked away from under the city and turned to Chen Ju's face.

Chen Ju clasped his hands and said, "The drums keep beating and the shelling keeps going. Your Majesty, this is General Chen's military order against his ministers at Jumahe."

boom!
Eighteen two-pound cannons in the city roared, the sound was not too loud, similar to those of the Francois machine guns in the Beijing camp, but the shells were more powerful, almost visible to the naked eye, and more than a dozen iron bullets as thick as arms passed over the heads of the front-line flag soldiers almost at the same time. Zhang, swept over ten wooden signs five hundred steps away like a strong wind.

Those wooden signboards that had already been riddled with holes by the blunderbuss shattered and exploded into sawdust at Yongdingmen.

The flag army was still advancing, as if they were not affected by the sound of the guns, they continued to move forward, mechanically loaded the cork, and fired in the direction of their eyes.

Emperor Longqing took the jade watch mirror, and only glanced at it to catch the flying sawdust flying all over the sky, then the mirror turned with his eyes and fixed on the pale faces of Messenger Alta and Messenger Oara.

Boom!

This time the sound of the guns was much more shocking than before, and the sound was almost comparable to that of the previous Qianjin Wolf machine. However, most people have seen the test firing of the Qianjin Frangler, but most of them have not seen the simultaneous salvo of twelve Qianjin Francophones.

At this very moment, twelve five-pound cannons exploded less than a hundred paces below the city. Even though the bores of some of the cannons had been deformed, and they were no longer so accurate after re-drilling roughly flattened, what everyone wanted at this time Obviously not accurate.

The five-jin cannon was capable of bombarding one round, and Chen Mujun had already attacked a hundred steps away. The huge projectile roared through the air, crushing hundreds of steps away and nearly ten feet of earth and wooden barriers. Five catties of iron balls blasted out of a catty of gunpowder.

When the sound of the cannon sounded, even though it was meaningless for the Chen Mu Banner Army to fire the blunderbuss, they still fired forward, and before their formation, they burst into flames and pieces of iron again and again.

They fired too fast forward, obviously unable to catch up with the fire oil line that had been prepared earlier, but this did not prevent the flag army from using their portable fire to ignite palm mines and throw them around after they settled down.

The ten-jin cannon exploded below the city, and the huge vibration seemed to make people feel that the city wall was shaken by the impact of the air wave. Of course, this was just an illusion caused by the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder in the iron core and copper shell.In an astonishing illusion, the drums stopped, but the two-pound cannon and the five-pound cannon stopped, but it was still roaring in people's minds. Emperor Longqing smiled reservedly.

The roar of the artillery seemed to have a good effect on strengthening the courage of the cowardly emperor. He turned his head and asked Duo and Qin in an unprecedentedly dignified voice: "Zunger Taiji, my general still needs a spear?"

Duo Heqin looked at Emperor Longqing harmlessly, and he saw Emperor Da Ming open his mouth to say something to him, but he didn't know what he said, he just felt gloating.

If you encounter this army in such a long and narrow area, you can't go around behind the cavalry and can only attack from the front. Unless they run out of ammunition, it is impossible to rush over.

Their horses would be frightened by the dense artillery and trample their warriors, and then die under the bird guns; but what does this have to do with Duoheqin?They are far away in the northwest of the desert, not bordering on the Ming Dynasty. Only I Da will meet this monster below.

Especially when this defensive army appears on the Great Wall, I will have nightmares.

The emperor turned his head away after asking, it didn't matter whether Duo and Qin answered the question, even if he answered, the emperor couldn't hear clearly.

His ears were buzzing, everyone in the city was like this, and the nobles who held the highest authority in the empire could no longer communicate politely.

They need to shout.

The sky was about to get dark, and within two quarters, the Nanyang Banner Army crushed and flattened all the wooden barriers and earthworks at [-] paces.

As the general who spent the longest time bombarding the six towns in the Longqing Dayue, Chen Mu took his flag army to salute below the city, and he heard Feng Bao asking loudly on the city: "General Chen, Your Majesty asks you , what's the name of that cannon?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, that cannon is called a ten-jin cannon because the bullet weighs ten catties!"

"Ten pounds?"

Emperor Longqing had already learned from Tan Lun that Chen Mu's cannon was made by himself, but the name really made the emperor... the cannon clearly weighed more than a thousand catties, so the emperor felt ashamed to be given such a random name. Feeling ashamed of the general's lack of rhetoric, he asked Tan Lun loudly: "General Chen, is he literate?"

Tan Lun pursed his lips, his face was a little complicated, he sighed, and moved closer to the emperor, trying to use the feeling that others could not hear clearly but the emperor whose ears were not so good for the time being could hear clearly. Very uncomfortable.

He said: "Last year last year, he took the provincial martial arts examination in Guangdong Province. He has reached the peak of his official position. This year, he did not take the Jinshi examination again. I transferred his examination paper and wrote about the maritime affairs of the Ming Dynasty. He wants to open thousands of miles of sea territory for His Majesty. He has some insights, but the words are not very good. Ya. I thought General Zhaowu was so talented and brave, not to mention the strict martial arts, he would not go all the way to find such a lame calligrapher as a ghostwriter."

"Ha, it doesn't matter if the writing is indecent, send his examination paper to the Wenhua Palace, no, please Tan Qing to copy a copy for me and then send it to the Wenhua Palace." Emperor Longqing looked at Prince Ziyu's mansion as he watched over him. With his high arch to shield him from the wind and rain, he asked, "Teacher, what is the meaning of Shuo, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu's general Zhenshuo?"

Gao Gong looked at Emperor Longqing for a moment, then glanced down the city, and then said: "Your Majesty, Shuo is the north, and Zhenshuo means Guyi Zhenbei."

"I understand." Emperor Longqing no longer asked Feng Bao to pass on the message this time, and asked Chen Mu by pressing the battlements: "I ask you, can my Xuanfu build this artillery?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it can be built in a year!"

"I'll ask you again, is this cannon available to me?"

"Return to Your Majesty, after two years, it will be available in all directions!"

"Okay! I named you General Zhenshuo, named... General Zhenshuo Chen Gong Shenpao!"

"I also entitle you, General Zhenshuo, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, and the commander of Wanquandu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, who prepared for bandits in the Xuanfu, trained troops, built artillery, and led the people back to the south. Following the story of Jizhen, you are the prime minister of the Xuanfu. Possibly?"

Chen Mu took off his helmet and shouted thanks. He seemed to have opened the second level of the royal gift package.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Emperor Longqing one thing, the Xuanfu Commander-in-Chief has a high status but it doesn't matter, but let me be the commander of the capital now, what else can I be sealed in the future?
Chen Mu thought - it's wrong to employ people like this.
