Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

But it would have been better if he didn't say it. After he said it, Xu Guangqi looked aggrieved.

"Your Majesty, I have never been stingy with their food."

"But the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the market are snatched away as soon as they appear. It's really hard to buy them!"

"I don't know who is so wicked!"

When he said this, he glanced at Lu Xiangsheng intentionally or unintentionally.

Lu Xiangsheng shrank his neck and smiled guiltily: "Master Xu, please don't say that."

"Well, if you want to feed the people below, just come to the Shenji Camp!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. I'll give you a pig a day. Do you think that's enough?"

Zhu Youxiao:..........

Okay, don’t ask about this lawsuit anymore!

Even if we leave aside the Five Army Camp and the Three Thousand Camp, just the 50,000 people in the Shenji Camp, if they are not short of money, who in the whole Beijing can compete with them!

It turns out that all the meat on the market has been processed by them!

"Okay, I have already asked Song Yingxing to build a factory. The meat shortage will be solved in half a year at most."

After saying that, he glanced towards Lu Xiangsheng, but saw that the black dog had disappeared, so he didn't say anything more.

After dinner, the craftsmen continued to work.

It was not until the end of the Wei hour that the rocket nest was fully assembled.

Then, a rocket was hoisted and loaded into the arrow nest.

A craftsman opened the cover at the tail of the rocket and inserted a fuse into it.

That’s right, it’s the fuse!

Like a firecracker fuse!

It’s more than two meters long!

Without an electronic fire control system and chemical primer, this ignition method has become the first choice at the moment.

Safe and efficient.

But the only drawback is that it will inevitably be affected by the weather.

"Your Majesty, you may shoot now."

Xu Guangqi went forward to check it out, and when he came back, he nodded to Zhu Youxiao.

At this moment, a group of guards from the Eastern Depot also came back on horseback from a distance.

"Your Majesty, from here twenty miles to the west, martial law has been imposed!"

Twenty miles?!

Hearing this number, Lu Xiangsheng was shocked.

What he saw in front of him told him that this thing should only be different from a mortar in two aspects.

First, it's a bit bigger.

Second, the gun barrel is not sealed.

He asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, can this thing really hit twenty miles away?"

"In theory, it is possible." Zhu Youxiao smiled and nodded slightly to Xu Guangqi.

Upon seeing this, Xu Guangqi immediately gave orders to the craftsmen.

"ignition!"

Then, the fuse was lit by the torch, smoke rose with a hissing sound, and the craftsman in charge of lighting the fire turned around and ran away.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, his eyes fixed on the rocket nest dozens of meters away.

The fuse, which was more than two meters long, burned out in just over ten seconds.

Then, a burst of fire was seen coming out from behind the rocket.

"call........."

The flame-spouting scene lasted only for a moment, and then the rocket, like a tree trunk, rushed out of the arrow nest with a whoosh, dragging its tail flame.

Lu Xiangsheng reached out and grabbed the reins from the Dongchang guard, jumped onto the horse's back, and whipped the horse hard.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment. I will catch up and take a look!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned!

This stuff............

Enough support?

But then he smiled.

This is a man who dares to chase rockets!

Cow breaking!

Half an hour later, Lu Xiangsheng came back with an excited look on his face.

"Your Majesty! Fifteen miles! I just shot a full fifteen miles!"

From a long distance away, he was shouting towards us on horseback.

The excitement on his face did not disappear until he jumped off the horse.

His face flushed, he ran to the rocket nest, touched the rocket nest that had completely cooled down, and his eyes were full of little hearts as if he was looking at a beautiful woman.

Then he turned back to look at Zhu Youxiao, and said with a beaming face: "Your Majesty, do you know that just now, where the rocket landed, the trees within a ten-foot radius were all shredded into a mess by the shrapnel!"

Fifteen li, a radius of ten zhang......

Zhu Youxiao shook his head in disappointment.

This is a 330mm caliber rocket launcher!

This is far from the effect he expected!

However, if it is used to deal with the Jiannu, it can be used as a makeshift.

He said to Xu Guangqi beside him.

"Load ten at a time and try again!"

"According to the order!"

Xu Guangqi bowed and passed the order to the craftsmen.

Lu Xiangsheng rubbed his hands and squatted beside the rocket nest, refusing to move. He found that he had fallen in love with someone else!

Before, he thought his true love was mortar.

I will never fall in love with anything else, including women!

But now, he found out that he was wrong!

This thing is more powerful than a mortar!

Several craftsmen pulled him away from the launch nest and began loading.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xiangsheng, who had quietly approached the rocket nest with a torch, was pulled back by Sun Kangwang.

"Your Majesty hasn't given the order to light the fire yet, what do you want to do?"

Lu Xiangsheng coughed twice and smiled awkwardly: "Ha...haha, nothing, nothing, I just wanted to try whether this torch is useful..."

After saying this, he broke free from Sun Kangwang's control and came in front of Zhu Youxiao with a flattering look on his face.

"Your Majesty, please let me shoot once..."

"I can't bear it any longer..."

Chapter 229 What does this Qin guy want to do?

Just when Zhu Youxiao was testing the "truth".

West of Beijing.

A team of about 20,000 people is slowly approaching the capital.

These people were dressed in rags, and even though it was chilly in spring, they only had a pair of straw sandals on their feet.

Each of them had dense patches of frostbite on their hands, faces, and feet.

But as they walked in the wilderness, their expressions were extremely resolute.

Occasionally, passers-by would pass by them and would stop to salute them.

Although nothing could be seen from the clothes these people wore, and there were no obvious flags in the team.

However, there is one thing that allows people of this era to tell their identities at a glance!

That means these 20,000 people, each holding a rifle!

That’s right, this team is the White Spear Army that Qin Liangyu sent back to Sichuan to recruit!

Walking in front of the team were Qin Liangyu's two nephews, Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming.

Not to mention anything else, just from the names of these two brothers, you can see how loyal this family is to the Ming Dynasty.

Qin Yiming jumped onto a large rock on the side of the road and shouted loudly to the team.

"We'll be arriving in the capital soon, everyone, work harder!"

"My aunt said that she had people buy several hundred large fat pigs. Tonight, we will have a welcoming party at the Fifth Army Camp!"

"Everyone, do you want it or not?!"

"Get it!"

Twenty thousand people answered in unison.

The sound was so loud that it caused the wild rabbits in the fields on both sides of the road to run around in panic.

Just then, a man at the front of the team ran back and said nervously.

"Commander-in-Chief, the road ahead is blocked!"

Qin Yiming said to Qin Gongming, "I'll go with him and take a look. You ask the brothers to stop and rest for a while!"

Then, he walked forward with the man who came back to report the news.

After walking about a mile, they encountered a group of cavalry.

One of the cavalrymen stopped his horse, pointed his whip at Qin Yiming and said, "Who are you? Tell me your names!"

Upon hearing this, the man behind Qin Yiming suddenly held the white spear in front of him, clasped his fists and shouted.

"I am He Tengjiao from Liping, and this is my lieutenant general Qin Yiming, the nephew of General Qin!"

"Who are you and why are you blocking the passage of the army for no reason?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the horse's expression suddenly relaxed a lot. He jumped off the horse and looked at Qin Yiming for a while.

"Are you Qin Yiming?"

Qin Yiming cupped his hands to him and said, "Yes, who are you?"

The man smiled and bowed to him in return: "Jinyiwei, Northern Pacification Division Captain Yang Peicong!"

"I've heard that His Majesty has issued an order to expand the White Spear Army and merge it into the Five Military Camps. I didn't expect that you would recruit people so quickly."

"However, His Majesty is personally leaving the city today to test the artillery twenty miles away. No one is allowed to enter or leave this area."

"So, please trouble Admiral Qin to ask your brothers to wait for a while."

Qin Yiming frowned slightly. "They were testing artillery 20 miles away, but martial law has been extended to here? Captain Yang, can you tell me what your majesty was testing? Was it a scattering cannon?"

Yang Peicong smiled and shook his head: "General Qin, please forgive me. It's better not to ask some questions."

Qin Yiming had no choice but to ask someone to pass the message back. He and He Tengjiao found a haystack nearby and sat down.

Yang Peicong didn't answer, but that didn't stop him from guessing.
