Chapter 738 738 The Appearance of Firearms

"Okay, anyway, that's all for my own speculation. The identity of the specific owner here should be left to the seniors who will come later to study. Let the seniors have a chance to vent their excitement of discovering this place, haha, I have to hurry up and find the exit after visiting here!"

As for why Zhang Yang speculates that the refuge that originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Xiwu Jingwang Bu Nala, the hereditary lord of XZ, appeared in the Ming Dynasty, except for the evidence of the "Taige style" that appeared here, that is this type of font At that time, it was also approved by Ming Taizong Zhu Di.

He guessed here that he didn't bother to think about it anymore, it was too brain-intensive and time-consuming.

Focusing on the largest square in front of him that almost runs through the entire mountain, Zhang Yang began to observe the stone rooms on both sides of the square separated by wooden walls.

First, I wandered around on the left hand side, took a flashlight through the hollow of the door, and took a look inside. I found that there seemed to be a living room, kitchen, etc., and there were many rotten daily necessities and bedding. When I went to look at the row of stone chambers on the right, I was shocked at the time.

My friends and I were stunned! !

There are a total of ten stone chambers, except for five of which are swords, guns, swords, crossbows and shields, although the remaining five are all various 'hot weapons', or firearms.

"Damn it, is that thing a gun?"

"Where is this tnd a shelter from the Ming Dynasty? It can't be from the modern era?"

"But why does the gun here look so weird? And what are those egg-like things?"

"Damn, could it be said that this place was discovered by the modern army later? The Japanese who live a good life?"

"You people should learn more about history. Firearms appeared in the Ming Dynasty."

To be honest, Zhang Yang himself was taken aback by the 'hot weapons' found in those five stone chambers. Didn't this thing suddenly explode and launch?

It's just that although he was a little worried about being suddenly attacked by this "firearm" that had been stored for hundreds of years, Zhang Yang still couldn't help his curiosity and flew the drone far to the doors of those stone rooms. Also became excited.

"Haha, the one-eyed blunderbuss, the thieves-killing blunderbuss, the magic machine gun, the magic gun, I am now more and more sure that this shelter was established during Zhu Di's time, because all these firearms here are from Zhu Di's magic machine battalion. What I have, but why it appears here is unknown.

As for why there were hot weapons in the Ming Dynasty just now, I am a little puzzled. Don’t you know that gunpowder is one of our four great inventions?

In the early years, Zhu Yuanzhang made his fortune in the Yangtze River Basin. At the beginning of the uprising, a man named Jiao Yu presented the firearms he developed, so Zhu Yuanzhang's army became the only army in the rebel army that used firearms as standard equipment.

At that time, the water network in the south was well developed, and the Mongolian cavalry could not play a role. Zhu Yuanzhang's firearms troops were able to play a huge role. In the battle with Chen Youliang, firearms played a huge role.

During the defense of Hongdu, Zhu Yuanzhang's army went out to fight, and Chen Youliang led an army of 60 to besiege Hongdu City. Zhu's army only had 4 troops with firearms, and defended Chen Youliang's army for 85 days to attack. Chen Youliang's army suffered heavy losses and retreated.

The Battle of Poyang Lake, known as the largest water battle in the medieval world, was a decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang after Chen Youliang was frustrated in the siege of the city. Zhu Yuanzhang's army was equipped with artillery on the warships. This is the first case in history that "naval guns" The army that bombarded the enemy ships created another classic battle in the history of domestic water warfare since the Battle of Chibi, in which less won more.

Moreover, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, firearms were used as standard weapons to equip the army, and Zhu Di also contributed an indelible force.

During the Yongle period, Shenji Camp was established, one of the three imperial guard camps in the Ming Dynasty.The Shenji Battalion is the earliest artillery unit in the world. The artillery unit began to perform combat missions as an independent unit at this time. Zhu Di even created the "shenji battalion in the front and the cavalry in the rear" in the pro-government Mobei battle. Tactics.

And at that time, in order to maintain continuous firepower output, the Shenji Battalion adopted a method of continuous fire.

That is to say, this tactic is divided into three rows, and the first row is divided into odd numbers and even numbers. Soldiers with odd numbers shoot first, and then even numbers shoot. After each soldier shoots, he hands the gun to the middle row. The loaded guns are obtained from the hands of the middle row, and the middle row receives the guns and hands them to the back row for loading, and then takes the loaded guns and hands them to the first row.

The advantage of this is that the firepower can be continuously output, and the firepower is very powerful. This kind of burst firing tactics of the front boring gun can be said to be more than 200 years ahead of the world at that time. "

Zhang Yang became more and more excited as he talked, as if he had forgotten what he said just now that he wanted to find an exit.
It's just that he was always vigilant, but he still didn't come up to him to play with those firearms. Let's not talk about whether these things are dangerous, but anyway, they are cultural relics. He didn't dare to come up to him, so he could only pass the drone Turn on the light to shoot the screen while explaining.

"We can now fully confirm that this shelter appeared during Zhu Di's period, that is, during the Yongle period. Look at the firearms there."

The screen in the live broadcast room began to zoom in and out continuously, and a red arrow was drawn on the screen to point to the firearms that Zhang Yang was going to introduce in the screen.

"The one-eyed gun is the same type of firearm as the hand gun. It is made of wrought iron. The short god gun is two or three feet long, and the long god gun is four feet long. The tail is inserted into a long wooden handle, which can be placed on iron shoot from a rack made of rings."

"Striking Thief Bian, made of iron, the barrel is three feet long, the handle is two feet long, and the range can reach three hundred steps. After shooting, the barrel can also be used as a hammer. It can be said to have two uses."

"The magic cannon was developed from a small general cannon. According to the preserved cultural relics, this kind of cannon can fire projectiles. Its diameter is between 5.5 and 8.5 centimeters, and its length is between 71.5 and 90 centimeters.

The earliest use of this kind of magic cannon by the Ming army should have been in 1406, which is the battle of Annan in the fourth year of Ming Yongle. "

"Of course, do you see the hole next to it that looks like a firework?
This thing is called a sharp gun, which was a very influential firearm during the Yongle period, and it also derived a series of products, including the mighty fire Yasha blunderbuss, the solo flying rocket, the three tiger axe, and the nine arrows. God Poison Fire Thunder Cannon and so on.

The gun barrel of the sharp gun is made of iron, and the tube has a long belly. It can not only shoot projectiles, but also shoot arrows. Or projectile, when the gunpowder is ignited, the arrow or projectile will fly to the target, and the range can reach three hundred paces. "

Glancing at the barrage that frequently appeared in the live broadcast room, seeing the enthusiasm of the fans, Zhang Yang looked at the name of the book he had just queried the information, and simply recommended it.

"If you want to know about the situation of firearms in the Ming Dynasty at that time, you can buy a book called "The New Technology War of the Ming Empire".
