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

After poking He Tengjiao twice, Qin Yiming asked in a low voice.

"Brother, you said that the scatter bomb cannon can fire twenty miles away?"

He Tengjiao was also stunned.

He was originally from Liping Prefecture, Guizhou Province. He had been proficient in both literature and martial arts since childhood. Unfortunately, some people have good abilities but are not good at taking exams. He was one of them.

In history, he was not listed until the late Chongzhen period. He started as the magistrate of Nanyang and displayed his talents all the way.

During the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was promoted to the position of Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace and was granted the high position of Prince Taibao.

But now, although he is 36 years old, he is still a commoner. He has taken two examinations, but failed both times. His situation is not much different from Song Yingxing's.

The reason why he was in the Baigan Army was that when Qin Yiming went back to recruit soldiers, he accidentally heard the news about him and then he managed to lure him over.

How could he know how to answer Qin Yiming's question!

The firearms he had seen before were at most bird guns and earth cannons. He had never seen or even heard of anything with a range of twenty miles!

But at this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.

"Commander-in-Chief, look, that's a sazi!"

Qin Yiming quickly looked in the direction of his finger.

In the distance, I saw a group of black spots flying towards where everyone was.

Behind those black spots, there were red flames!

He couldn't help but murmur.

"A meteor from outer space?"

He Tengjiao refuted firmly: "No! This is definitely not a meteor!"

"It seems like it was the Jinyiwei who mentioned the cannon!"

Qin Yiming stood up quickly, without even having time to brush off the dust from his butt, and directly picked up the white spear and ran towards Yang Peicong.

Yang Peicong was just a dozen meters away from them, chatting with his Jinyimen about the girls in Mianhualou.

Because of a moment's carelessness, the warhorse was snatched away by Qin Yiming.

By the time he reacted, he saw Qin Yiming riding a horse and rushing into the martial law area!

"What the hell! What does this Qin guy want to do?"

Yang Peicong stared at his back in a daze, completely dumbfounded!

Before he could react, he saw He Tengjiao following closely behind Qin Yiming and also snatching a warhorse!

"Fuck! Stop it now!"

"Are you crazy?!"

Yang Peicong was in a panic. If these two guys were injured by the rockets, even if Qin Liangyu could let him go, he would not be able to get past the emperor!

After a loud curse, he quickly led his men on horseback to chase after them.

Twenty miles away, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the ten rockets disappearing from his sight and laughed as happily as a fool.

“Hahahaha, so enjoyable!”

"It's so enjoyable!"

"Your Majesty, this is much more exciting than that mortar!"

"Look at the noise just now. It's as pleasant as the legendary dragon's roar!"

"Look at the ground again, it's almost burned by the tail flame!"

"I bet that if these rockets fall into Shenyang, no matter whether they are old or young wild boars, they will all be turned into roasted suckling pigs!"

“It’s still the kind that’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!”

Xu Guangqi was very proud of his naivety, but he still did not forget to stand up and remind him.

"General Lu, I want to correct you. This thing is not called a rocket, it's called reason!"

"Your Majesty said that we, the Ming Dynasty, must convince others with reason!"

However, Zhu Youxiao stared at the launch pad and fell into deep thought.

He discovered a problem!

With current means, the idea of ​​a launch pad in the shape of the Chinese character "理" is good, but it is not very realistic!

Just after firing ten missiles in salvo, the base under the launch pad sank into the ground after loading.

If all forty-eight missiles were launched at the same time, the base and launch pad would most likely be knocked to the ground by the enormous force during launch!

But then, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He thought of the steam engine in the Ministry of Industry!

If the base is fixed on the steam engine, there will be absolutely no problem given the terrifying weight of that thing!

Chapter 230 Fengdu Earthquake

On the other side, Qin Yiming was still galloping on his horse.

Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard from the front.

"Herod..."

The warhorse suddenly stood up, and then rushed towards the farmland on the side like crazy.

Qin Yiming was caught off guard and was thrown off his horse on the spot.

He struggled to get up, not bothering to check his injuries, staring in amazement at the scene hundreds of meters ahead.

The flames rising into the sky and the sight of flying rocks and earth petrified him.

OMG!

Is that the cannon that Your Majesty was testing?

If the White Spear Army could be equipped with such artillery, its combat power would definitely increase by more than a hundred times!

Everyone knows that the White Spear Army is invincible with their white spears!

But few people notice that the reason they are like this is because they are poor!

And in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing, the most abundant thing is this kind of white ash wood!

Therefore, they chose to use ash wood as poles, with bladed hook spears on top and hard iron rings at the bottom, and use them as weapons to conquer all directions!

They also wanted thicker armor and sharper weapons.

They also covet things like three-barreled muskets and Portuguese cannons!

But objective conditions do not allow it!

Because the Ming Dynasty was poor!

We can't afford to equip so many firearms troops.

But from another perspective.

Whether it was suppressing Bo and She, aiding Liao and resisting Qing, or later defending the king and suppressing bandits, the White Spear Army always measured the territory of the Ming Dynasty with a pair of iron feet.

Just like the heroes who fought in the 25,000-mile Long March, heavy weapons, although useful to them, would limit their mobility.

But Qin Yi knew that things were different now!

The Baigan Army was no longer a local army raised by a stepmother, but was incorporated into the Five Military Camps, one of the Beijing camps!

These are the emperor’s personal troops!

Looking at the smoke and dust gradually dissipating in the distance, he didn't know when his eyes became wet.

If the White Spear Army had these!

Will be invincible!

Just then, He Tengjiao caught up and saw Qin Yiming sitting on the ground. He quickly dismounted and asked.

"Commander-in-Chief, are you injured anywhere?"

Qin Yiming did not answer, but stood up and got on the warhorse that He Tengjiao rode.

"Go back and tell the youngest brother that I have gone to see the emperor, and ask him to lead his troops to wait here!"

After saying this, he raised his hand and whipped the warhorse.

As he passed by the sites destroyed by rockets, he became more resolute in his thoughts.

No matter what, we must convince His Majesty to equip the White Spear Soldiers with this kind of artillery!

Qin Yiming had not walked far when he ran into the Jinyiwei who came to check the power of the rocket. However, he did not stop his horse. After revealing his identity, he ignored the Jinyiwei's obstruction and galloped towards the direction where Zhu Youxiao was.

He didn't know where Zhu Youxiao was.

But he knew that the rockets were fired from the east, and as long as he walked east, he would definitely encounter them.

In fact, his guess was correct.

The Jinyiwei who were in charge of martial law were unable to stop him again.

The incident happened so suddenly that the Jinyiwei were only paying attention to the periphery. Who could have thought that such a reckless guy would appear in the martial law area!

It took Qin Yiming half an hour to run more than ten miles. When he saw the crowd outside the Shenji Camp, he grinned.

After whipping the warhorse again, he came up to it in the blink of an eye.

When Sun Kangwang saw that it was a stranger, he immediately drew out his Embroidered Spring Sword.

"Stop! Who are you? How dare you challenge the Holy Emperor?"

Qin Yiming dismounted from his horse and knelt on one knee.

"The Fifth Army Camp, the Left Army Lieutenant General Qin Yiming, requests to see Your Majesty!"

When Zhu Youxiao heard the name he called out, he was stunned for a moment.

"Didn't you go back to Sichuan and Chongqing to recruit soldiers?"

Qin Yiming quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the 20,000 White Spear Army has been recruited and is currently resting 20 miles to the west!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

It was only after a long while that he remembered that he had indeed seen a report a few days ago saying that the White Spear Army would be entering the capital soon.

He smiled and walked towards Qin Yiming. Sun Kangwang wanted to stop him for safety reasons, but was pushed away by him.

It’s because in the entire Ming Dynasty, the White Spear Army is the most trustworthy one!

Of course, there is also the Beijing Camp now.

"Hurry up and get up. You have worked hard on this journey."

As soon as he pulled Qin Yiming up, his eyes fell on his feet.

Zhu Youxiao's brows frowned instantly and he pointed at his feet and asked.

"How is this going!"

"Didn't I give enough silver?"

“Is this how you came all the way from Sichuan and Chongqing?”

Those feet are simply unbearable to look at!

It's covered with frostbite, calluses, and cracks!

The longest wound looks like a baby's open mouth!

Qin Yiming's face suddenly turned awkward when he heard that. He hunched his body unnaturally and covered his feet with the low hem of his clothes.

But his action made Zhu Youxiao angry.

"What are you hiding? Tell me where the money went!"

After the birthday banquet, he asked someone to give Qin Liangyu 100,000 taels of silver.

With a force of 20,000, after deducting 40,000 taels for resettlement expenses, there is still a surplus of 60,000 taels, which is enough to cover the expenses along the way and the military pay for the first few months.
