First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 78 The Prince's Seal

Zhu Biao looked at Quan Xu and said, "You take my warrant yourself, ask the Holy Lord to seal it, and then go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for firecrackers, and equip your 3 people!"

Zhu Biao had no power either as a prince or as an admiral of Tiance, and directly asked the Ministry of Industry for a large number of firearms.

No one can move the firearms without the emperor's order. Zhu Biao said that he wrote the firearms he needed on the paper, and then stamped it with the prince's treasure seal that he carried with him.

This seal was given on the day of the canonization of the crown prince, and it was the first time Zhu Biao used it.

Quan Xu took the note with both hands respectfully. It was originally just an ordinary piece of paper, but after stamping the seal of the crown prince, he carried the will of the Crown Prince of Daming.

Quan Xu immediately drove back to Nanjing, Zhu Biao sat on the chair, thinking about the scene of the soldiers who used firearms just now practicing.

Now the use of firearms is still very rough, basically throwing it down after one shot, and then pulling out a knife to cut people.

Zhu Biao remembered a movie he watched before. He had long forgotten what it was called, but he still clearly remembered a scene in which the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing Dynasty charged on horseback, while the British and French troops stood in three rows and took turns firing muskets.

After the first row finished fighting and went to the end, the second row continued to shoot, and then the people in the last row had time to reload the muskets. Repeatedly, the Eight Banners cavalry was defeated before even getting close to 30 meters. get away.

This is a very good and simple and practical method, especially for dealing with cavalry. Of course, the current guns are far inferior to the modern muskets, so you can add some elite bowmen in it, so as to provide sufficient and stable Firepower!

As long as you figure it out, the principle is actually very simple. Zhu Mark said that this was invented by Mu Ying, but it was used in the future to pacify Yunnan, and Zhu Di also used it many times after the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Biao did not order the whole army to implement this method because there are many kinds of firearms in each department, but there are not many firearms. If the forward is concentrated, it will not only affect the army that has been training all the time, but also easily cause the generals to rebound.

Therefore, Zhu Biao plans to try it on his own [-] pro-militaries first. If the effect is really good, he will spread it to the whole army and set up a firearms battalion.

When Zhu Biao was still thinking about how to improve, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong walked in, and Zhu Biao also stood up to show respect.

The three of them sat down after seeing the salute, and Chang Yuchun said, "His Royal Highness's divisions have already mastered their affiliations, and now we can take the oath and set off when Mu Ying arrives."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "That's good, I'm not leaving, I'll just stay here. I'm going to follow the army during this time."

Li Wenzhong nodded and said, "That's very good, the general and the generals should get to know them a little more, and I'll stay too."

Chang Yuchun smiled and said, "I still have to take medicine, so I won't be with you young people."

Zhu Biao also smiled. Chang Yuchun wanted to downplay his sense of existence. After all, he was the military boss. If he was here, the generals would always act according to his will.

Then Zhu Biao stayed in the military tent. When he got up the next day, he saw Quan Xu and Liu Jin guarding outside his tent. Zhu Biao went out and stretched, and said, "How's it going?"

Quan Xu replied: "The sage has already stamped the seal, and the last general has also handed over the will to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but the Nanjing firearms reserve is not enough, I am afraid that only [-] firearms can be collected."

Zhu Biao nodded. He never thought that he could fill up 3 firearms. After all, this is a good thing, and the army needs it. If Zhu Biao hadn’t walked through the back door, he wouldn’t even be able to get [-] of them: “The fastest! When can it be delivered?"

Quan Xu replied, "Send it within three days!"

Zhu Biao knew what to do, so he didn't ask any more questions, but glanced at Liu Jin who was preparing toiletries, and asked with a smile, "Didn't I tell you to watch the house, why did you follow me again?

Liu Jin said with a smile on his face: "With you there is a house for slaves. If you are not here, there is only a house there, and the house won't fly away. Naturally, slaves have to wait for you."

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable without Liu Jin by his side.

After Zhu Biao washed up, Liu Jin went down to arrange Zhu Biao's meal in person.

In the next half month, Zhu Biao did not return to the palace, but kept Quan Xu leading his own army to practice the "three-stage strike". Zhu Biao did not hide it from the lieutenant general, and he wanted to hide such a big battle. Can't hide it.

Zhu Biao kept rehearsing the three-stage strike in his mind. First, he tried the easiest one. Three people formed a team. The musketeers in the front shot first, and then retreated to the back of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition. Go forward and fire.

The three of them reloaded and fired alternately, which tripled the efficiency of the arquebus that originally took 1 minute or more to shoot once!

Then I feel that if the enemy cavalry is large in number and not afraid of sacrifice, it is easy to make the moving soldiers unwilling to return to the first row.

Therefore, I tried to place a horse-fighting fence in front of the formation, and then arranged a group of three soldiers, and let the soldier with the highest shooting accuracy act as the shooter, and the other two were responsible for the assembly of the bullet and the match.

After the shooter shoots, the No.2 soldier takes over the musket and loads the gunpowder from the front, tamping it and loading it into the bullet. The No. 3 soldier adjusted the position of the fire rope from the rear at the same time, moved the trigger to the original position, and then handed the musket to the shooter, so as to achieve uninterrupted shooting.

He also tried methods such as adding elite bowmen beside the firearms. After repeated drills, more and more generals participated in the discussion.

During the period, it was inevitable to compliment Zhu Biao. Even this Zhu Yuanzhang put down his official duties, ran to see it in person, and finally patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder with satisfaction, and went back happily. "

The generals are naturally envious, but still the same sentence, there are not enough firearms, and only Zhu Biao can dig out the wealth of Daming's family.

At least this year is not enough, but the Ministry of Industry has already summoned craftsmen to make a lot of them, and presumably there will be a batch of fire guns by the end of the year.

Zhu Biao also called a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and talked about a bunch of ideas for his own firearms.

Finally, looking at the bewildered craftsmen, Zhu Biao also sighed helplessly. He has never touched any real firearms in his last life, and he is not a military fan, so what he said is not so easy to understand, but only Nengji expects to be with them too.

After another two days, Mu Ying finally led the army back. Zhu Biao glanced at Mu Ying who was in the dust and the listless soldiers behind him, wondering if he would mutiny directly if he went to war now.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao was not such a person. The soldiers who ordered the arrival did not need to train for three days, and they all had a good rest. Then, after letting Mu Ying sleep for two hours, he dragged him and chatted in the middle of the night before letting him go back to rest.

I have to say that there is indeed a fate between people. He doesn't know why he is very close to Mu Ying, even if he hasn't seen each other for a long time.
