Lin Danhan then explained: "One of my warriors escaped with a serious injury."
"According to what he said, the cotton coats on those Rakshasa cavalrymen were very thick, and the three-barreled guns couldn't penetrate them at all."
"Moreover, they are extremely brutal!"
"them........"
"How dare they use human flesh as military rations!"
"Not only the enemy, they also eat their own people..."
Chapter 584 Are you worthy enough to touch a gun in front of the emperor?
On the battlefield, what really determines victory or defeat is not just equipment and number of people.
Morale is a mysterious thing, but it can greatly affect the ultimate outcome of a war.
Facing a group of people who were fighting, he took out a piece of human flesh from his waist and took a few bites.
Zhu Youxiao could imagine how terrified the Mongolian cavalry felt when they saw this scene!
Lin Danhan did not try to suppress his voice, and the civil servants below the imperial steps could hear it clearly.
"Hmm......"
A few people with poor psychological quality didn't care about the occasion and rushed out with their mouths covered.
Zhu Youxiao just glanced at them and didn't say anything harsh.
Because he had personally witnessed this kind of thing that went against human ethics!
At that time, he was also so miserable...
The battle that Lin Danhan was talking about took place a few hundred miles northwest of Lake Baikal.
Zhu Youxiao didn't know much about the modern history of foreign countries, but he knew a little.
The territory of Russia in history was far smaller than it is today!
Russia's crazy territorial expansion began during the Ming and Qing dynasties!
That is to say......
In the days to come, the Ming Dynasty will have new opponents!
I just wonder if what Lin Danhan's men encountered were the legendary Cossack cavalry...
Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Danhan and asked.
"Tell me, what do you want this time?"
Lin Danhan gritted his teeth and said, "Fire gun!"
"The same flintlock rifle that the Ming army used in Liaodong before!"
"The north is bitterly cold, with wind and snow almost all year round."
"The three-barreled gun often misfires, and it is difficult to penetrate thick cotton clothes. I am so bold as to ask Your Majesty for some flintlock rifles."
"Of course, if possible..."
"The small cannons used by the Shenji Camp, Xiaohan also wants to take some back."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Chengzong's expression suddenly tensed up and he hurriedly looked towards Zhu Youxiao.
Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao's words made him feel relieved.
"Flintlocks are fine, but mortars are not."
"Tell me, how much do you want?"
"And what price are you willing to pay?"
In the past, flintlock rifles would not have been sold.
But now, with Chengying and Longshe, it’s no big deal to use this thing as a foreign trade product.
Although his request for cannons was rejected, when he heard that he could buy flintlock rifles, Lin Danhan could no longer hide his joy.
"The little Khan wants 10,000 flintlock rifles, plus 1 million bullets and 200,000 kilograms of gunpowder!"
"for exchange."
"The Khan is willing to return all the land from Juyan Sea in the west to the south of Abu Mountain in the east to the Ming Dynasty!"
When Zhu Youxiao heard about the offer of 10,000 flintlock rifles, he subconsciously wanted to refuse him.
But when I heard the price tag, I was overjoyed.
Damn it!
Regarding the battle at the foot of Tannu Mountain, Ligdan Khan must have concealed something.
Otherwise, why would he be willing to give up so much land in exchange for guns? !
The Juyan Lake is located in the territory of Alashan in later generations.
Abu Mountain is near Erenhot in later generations.
Compared with the territories of later generations, the territory of the Ming Dynasty was like a fighting chicken with a big head and a thin neck.
And if the lands taken out by Ligdan Khan were incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, the neck of this fighting chicken would become several times thicker!
Plus the previously returned Naiman and Aohan...
At this time, the territory of the Ming Dynasty had already far exceeded that of later generations!
Zhu Youxiao called Xu Guangqi to his presence.
"I asked you to make a lance earlier. Is there any progress?"
Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty, I have brought it with me. When I entered the palace, I gave it to the Jinyiwei guarding the gate to keep temporarily."
Zhu Youxiao was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Wei Zhongxian, "Go and bring the things over!"
"Old slave obeys!"
Wei Zhongxian bowed and then headed towards the palace gate.
With the birth of Chengying and Longshe, the palace's supervision of firearms has become increasingly stringent.
There are only five people in the Ming Dynasty who are allowed to carry guns into the palace!
They were Wei Zhongxian of the East Factory, Wang Chengen of the West Factory, and Sun Kangwang of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Apart from these three, there were the Xuanwu Commander You Tong and the Northern Pacification Commander Zhen Beiwang.
Therefore, even though Xu Guangqi was a gun maker, when he entered the palace, he still had to hand his things over to the Jinyiwei for safekeeping.
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's departing figure, Lin Danhan was confused.
What does the Emperor of Ming Dynasty mean?
Should I sell it or not?
He really wanted to ask, but when he saw hundreds of officials standing outside waiting, he swallowed the words back.
Ten minutes later, Wei Zhongxian came back holding a box.
After the box was opened, inside was a Type 97 shotgun that had never been seen before!
The only difference from the later Type 97 was that Zhu Youxiao ordered Xu Guangqi to make the inner diameter of the barrel a terrifying 30 mm!
According to the later definition of firearms, this thing is a shotgun!
There was also a twenty-inch wobbly bullet in the box. The primer of the bullet was still made of brass, but the shell was made of steel. It contained a hundred steel balls and a full penny of black powder!
This also caused the bullet in my hand to feel like the firecrackers during the Spring Festival...
It's very scary...
In order to ensure performance, the thickness of the barrel has also been greatly strengthened, which makes the weight of the entire gun soar to ten kilograms!
Moreover, it is ten kilograms from the Ming Dynasty!
Converted into later units, it is 5,968 grams!
When he saw this thing, Lin Danhan's breathing became much heavier.
He heard it clearly just now. This thing was a cavalry rifle that Zhu Youxiao specially ordered to be made!
What is a lance?
A cavalry rifle!
Our Golden Family's most powerful cavalry...
He stared at the Type 97 in the box with his eyes wide open, unwilling to leave for a moment.
Although I haven't seen the power of this gun yet, but judging from the thick gun body and the bullet which is bigger than that of his brothers, the lethality of this thing is absolutely amazing!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you preparing this for the little Khan?"
Zhu Youxiao did not answer him, but took the gun out of the box, loaded the bullets, and then found a target to test the gun.
When Xu Guangqi saw this, he was immediately shocked.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty's spear is extremely powerful. When testing the spear, a craftsman was injured in the metacarpal bone and is still lying in the clinic."
"In order to avoid harming the dragon's body, let someone else try!"
Hearing this, Lin Danhan stood up suddenly.
"Your Majesty, the Khan is willing to do it for you!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wei Zhongxian staring at him with a bad look and scolding him.
"You? Stay away!"
"You are worthy of touching a gun in front of the emperor?"
Chapter 585 If you don’t go crazy, you won’t survive.
After being scolded, Lin Danhan realized that he was too excited.
Isn’t it? This is the Ming Dynasty Palace!
As a Mongolian Khan, what was he trying to do by touching a gun in front of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?
It doesn’t matter what you do or not!
The important thing is, will Mingren kill himself because of this...
He shrank his neck, took a few steps back, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao to apologize.
"I was just too excited when I saw the gun. I hope Your Majesty will not blame me."
Zhu Youxiao just waved his hand and didn't argue with him too much, and said to Wei Zhongxian.
"Call Man Gui in!"
"Old slave obeys!"
Man Gui was waiting outside the hall. When he heard the call, he immediately strode into the hall.
Zhu Youxiao handed him the Type 97 and explained how to load and fire it.
"Be careful, this gun is quite powerful."
Man Gui held the heavy Type 97 in his hand and felt that it was very much to his liking, so he patted his chest and made a promise.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm just afraid it's not strong enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the Huangji Palace with a gun in hand.
Several wooden targets were carried over by the Embroidered Uniform Guards and placed in a corner outside the hall.
Upon seeing this, all the ministers stretched their necks to look over here.
Zhu Youxiao also called on Lin Danhan to follow him out and stood thirty meters away watching.
Sun Kangwang got a shield from somewhere and stood in front of Zhu Youxiao with a vigilant look on his face.
Man Gui didn't care too much when he saw this scene. He knew very well that this was just normal protection and was not targeting him alone.
