please make me king

Chapter 346
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were roughly three sources of artillery in China:

One is homemade, and the representative models are various types of general guns and tiger squat guns. The obvious feature is that the gun body has an iron hoop.

This kind of artillery has a shorter diameter, between ten and fourteen to five times, and a shorter range.But the advantage is that the material is excellent, the weight is not heavy, it is good for field battles, and it is equipped with a large number of frontier troops.

One is the "Big Bronze Cannon of Luzon".It was the officials of the Ming Dynasty who stole the teacher from Luzon, which was occupied by Spain, which is later known as the Philippines.This kind of artillery has a multiple diameter of about [-], the wall of the gun is slightly thinner, and its power is relatively weak.

There is also a Hongyi cannon from Macau and Portugal.Due to the military threat faced by the Ming Dynasty, the Chinese and Western French parties fully learned from the Western Hongyi cannon.They ranged from translating western artillery shooting theory, casting books to hiring gunners and so on.

But at that time, China was short of copper, and could not afford it according to the Western method of casting copper cannons, so it used local cast iron technology to cast it, and became the third country in the world besides Britain and Sweden to master cast iron artillery technology at that time.

The "Golden Cannon" researched and designed by Zhang Shun is actually an enhanced version of the field cannon with a lower diameter.Although its lethality is not weak, due to its low muzzle velocity, it is still less powerful than the longer Hongyi Cannon.

This time, Zhang Shun finally put away his contempt for the ancients, and began to face up to the threat of the Hongyi Cannon.

The ten Hongyi cannons lined up in unison, and they smashed down the gate of Hui County with only one round of salvo.Yue Zhongzhong suddenly turned pale with fright, and quickly ordered his soldiers to block the door.

But where can it be blocked? "Zuo Jin Wang" had just been beaten by Zhang Shun, this time he sold his strength and directly led the cavalry in person, wearing heavy armor and rushing in.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were all infantry. They had just received an order to go down to the city to block the gates, when they encountered cavalry charging and were rushed away.

"King Zuo Jin" took the lead, rushed into the city, and killed the defending officers and soldiers three or five times.So he abandoned his horses and personally led twenty or thirty warriors to storm the city tower of Hui County.

Yue Zhongzhong quickly ordered the defenders to turn around and shoot at the stairs that climbed up the city wall.

The "Zuo Jin Wang" and others were wearing heavy armor, and bullets could not enter, so they rushed to the city wall in a fit of anger.

Seeing that there was nothing to be done, the other officers and soldiers dispersed, leaving Yue alone to serve on the tower.

Looking at the swarming rebels, Yue Zhong said with emotion: "What is my sin? Why have I suffered so many misfortunes! Although I am incompetent, I can't harm my family." With trembling hands, he drew his waist knife and died by himself.

The guerrilla general became more loyal and died, and the soldiers under his command either surrendered or fled immediately. There was no one in Hui County to guard, and he was beaten down by the "King Zuojin".

Now that "King Zuojin" had conquered Hui County, he hurried out of the city to welcome Zhang Shun and other rebel leaders into the city.

After Zhang Shun entered the city, he took a rough count of Hui County's grain and grass, and found that it was no less than two thousand shi, which could meet the grain of the officers and soldiers for nearly a month.

Therefore, while Zhang Shun ordered the "Zuo Jin Wang" to light the beacon as soon as possible, indicating that the Yi army camp and others had captured Hui County, he ordered Chen Chang to be responsible for the aftermath of the city, the inventory of the seizure and the defense of the city.

Then, without stopping, Zhang Shun led more than a thousand cavalry and more than ten thousand rebels under his command to attack the camp of officers and soldiers.

Not to mention how Zhang Shun made arrangements here, Zhang Sanbai was still directing the other rebels to fight around, tossing the officers and soldiers back and forth.

After three or four times, the officers and soldiers became so annoyed that they became lazy.Whenever there is a police, they will directly send a small team to deal with it, and the rest will go their own way.

It is said that the officers and soldiers were very annoying, and the other commanders of the rebel army complained constantly, and some even directly declared that they wanted to see "King Shun".

Zhang Sanbai acted under the guise of Zhang Shun's order, how dare he tell them the truth.He had no choice but to coax them by saying: "My lord is newly married, and he is at a young age. Now is the time when we are reluctant to leave, so why should we bother him with small things?"

Most people were speechless after hearing this, but the "Eight Great Kings" complained: "Since this is the case, why does your sister go in and out of King Shun's tent every morning and evening? Is it not enough to have two beauties?"

Zhang Sanbai, who personally persuaded his younger sister Ma Yingniang to take care of the lord's wife and concubine, was so angry that he had nothing to say.

The thin-skinned Ma Yingniang couldn't bear such gossip, so she had to order Wu Ma to go over every day to take care of Li Xiang and Liu Rushi.

As a result, the gossip soon became: "Alas, King Shun is so hungry and thirsty! Even the old lady will not be spared!"

When these words reached Li Xiang and Liu Rushi's ears, they were both annoyed and funny.They had no choice but to apologize to Wu Ma with guilt.

In the end, Mama Wu didn't care, and instead said: "I'm old, I don't have any face. It's just that my girl is still young, and now her reputation is bad, and I'm afraid she won't be able to get married in the future!"

Liu Rushi listened to the words and watched his heart: I'm just a slave, I can't control anything, don't tell me!
Li Xiang and the others are not stupid. They have been in contact with Ma Yingniang for a few days, and they have become acquainted with each other. How can they not see that Ma Yingniang is interested in Zhang Shun?
But sisters belong to sisters, and husbands belong to husbands. If anyone wants to rob me of my husband, then don't blame us for not being sisters!
Li Xiang said directly: "Don't worry, Mama Wu, the clearer will be clearer by itself, I know everything about Yingniang sister. I don't dare to say anything else, only this one, if my sister really doesn't find a suitable husband-in-law in the future, I will definitely help her talk about a good marriage!"

Wu Ma failed to beat the side drum, so she had no choice but to say in the face of not being able to understand: "In this case, I would like to thank the two wives, my girl has a strong temperament, and I will ask you two to take care of me in the future."

When Li Xiang and Liu Rushi heard the words, they couldn't help secretly calling Mama Wu amazing.These words are watertight, just teach them that they should not be wrong, and they should not be wrong.

Fortunately, Li Xiang came from a wealthy family, and his knowledge and knowledge are first-class, so he quickly responded: "The way of a husband and wife is to combine strength and softness to achieve perfection. I think Yingniang is a strong person, so she can just find a frail scholar as her husband. It's a long way."

From what Li Xiang and Liu Rushi saw, the ignorant Zhang was by the way a typical martial artist, and the rejection was obvious in his words.

But because Wu Ma and Ma Yingniang were born in the lower class, they felt that Zhang Shun was gentle and refined, and he was a natural seed for reading.

Wu Ma was very happy when she heard that Li Xiang's words were actually "answered", so she prepared to bid farewell to the two and announce the good news to Ma Yingniang.

At this moment, I suddenly heard shouts from outside the account, the sound of weapons and armor, the neighing of war horses, and the trembling footsteps.

Where did Li Xiang and Liu Rushi see this kind of battle before, they looked at each other immediately, and quickly asked: "What is this? Could it be that the officers and soldiers are coming!"

Seeing that the two of them agreed to Ma Yingniang's entry, Mama Wu was very happy, so she quickly explained: "Don't worry, ladies, our master uses soldiers, so there is no room for the officers and soldiers to be unrestrained. We are going to attack the officers and soldiers' camp! Prepare yourself, both of you." Drinks, just wait for the lord to celebrate."
