Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 191 The Unparalleled God General's Arrow Technique Is Equally Unparalleled
After a short collision, the two elite cavalry quickly separated.

Yue Tuo fled in embarrassment with the majestic Xianghuang Banner, and Li Cunxiao led the Xuanjian cavalry in hot pursuit.

In fact, the Eight Banners of the Eastern Captives were indeed brave, and they were able to be defeated quickly. The main reason was that Li Cunxiao, the leader of the Xuanjia Army, was too brave. He almost blew up half of the inlaid red flags by himself, and no one could stop them.

Seeing that Jia Laerzhen was shot dead by Li Cunxiao, Yue Tuo didn't dare to fight Li Cunxiao at all. In the contest between the two generals, Yue Tuo was already timid before fighting, and the morale of the cavalry under his command was of course even lower.

The Tartars are almost equally capable of fighting and fleeing. Once the soldiers are defeated, they can run faster than rabbits. It is difficult for the Xuanjia cavalry to catch up with them because they are heavily armored.

After chasing and killing hundreds of people, the deserters were far away.

Li Cunxiao took off a precious carved bow, put on a Spike arrow, aimed at Yue Tuo's back heart and shot it.

"Whoosh..."

"puff……"

The distance between Yue Tuo and Li Cunxiao was at least 250 meters. If it was an ordinary person, it would be impossible to shoot Yue Tuo.

But Li Cunxiao was not an ordinary person, so the unlucky person became Yue Tuo. The Spike Arrow pierced Yue Tuo's armor directly, and shot deeply from the back of the heart, and a short section of arrow protruded from the front chest.

With an authentic arrow piercing his heart, Yue Tuo screamed and immediately went to report to Nurhachi.

Seeing that the general was shot, Dongyao Tartar dropped his body and fled faster, and soon disappeared in front of the black armored cavalry. Why is it that the eight banners are less than [-], and they are invincible.

That's because they didn't meet any opponents. When they were disabled, when their minds were broken, these Eight Banners were no different from other defeated troops, and they all fled desperately.

Seeing that he could not catch up with the deserters, Li Cunxiao had no choice but to issue an order:

"Clean the battlefield, withdraw troops and return to the city."

In this battle, nearly 5000 people with Xianghong Banner were killed, and more than 2000 horses were obtained. The seriously injured and killed horses were all brought back to Liaoyang City, and they became the best rations for the Ming army.

The Xianghong Banner was almost completely wiped out. Although no one was killed in the battle, nearly 500 people were injured. All the soldiers were awarded a great service.

The artillerymen were also rewarded. Under Huang Ming's suggestion, the artillerymen who had done great work quietly entered Shang Kexi's mansion at night. This reward was more important to them than any other reward.

The next day

Someone reported this to Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang was furious, and punished Huang Ming directly. As a result, Huang Ming was demoted three grades in a row, and sent to the kitchen to set fires, and he was not allowed to leave the kitchen until he had a fight.

This punishment seems to be very severe. A lieutenant general was directly sent to the third rank by Lian Jiang and sent to the kitchen to set fire to the kitchen, but the last sentence is very important.

"You are not allowed to leave the kitchen before fighting."

This means that once the war comes, Huang Ming will immediately return to his post and go to battle to kill the enemy.

Huang Ming knew very well what was going on, the governor had no intention of punishing him at all, it was clearly just a show, if the previous military regulations were followed, Huang Ming would definitely be beheaded.

After Yue Tuo was killed, some of the port cities occupied by Dongyao were also attacked by the cannons of the Daming Navy.

Fushun Port, Jinzhou Port, Dalian Port, etc., nearly ten port cities, were all recovered by the Daming Navy led by Zheng Chenggong, and the captives along the coast and the river were beheaded to death.

Not only is the territory occupied by Dongyao getting smaller and smaller, but their living space has been squeezed into a few areas such as Shengjing.Just a matter of time.

Jingshi Qianqing Palace

"Your Majesty, Zhao Shizhen, Minister of Industry, is asking to see you."

"Call him in."

Hearing the eunuch's report, Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian, who was reading the document, put down the document in his hand and immediately let Zhao Shizhen come in.

Zhao Shizhen is a busy man, and he is also responsible for the research and development of firearms and warships. Zhu Youjian knew that he must have something to ask for a meeting.

Soon, Zhao Shizhen entered the imperial study room under the leadership of the eunuch, and saw Zhu Youjian hurriedly paying respects.

"Minister, Zhao Shizhen sees His Majesty."

Zhu Youjian smiled all over his face, stood up and helped Zhao Shizhen:

"Ai Qing is not polite, why do you have time to see me today, I don't know whether to report good news or bad news?"

Zhao Shizhen was a little flattered, and hurriedly replied:

"Your Majesty, it's a happy event. It's a great event. We have developed a rifled flintlock gun and an oval bullet. It only takes five or six breaths to reload the bullet. The range and accuracy have been greatly improved. There is also a The three-barrel flintlock is not very mature yet, but it can be equipped in small quantities and is mainly used for special operations troops."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that:
"This should be the most advanced flintlock gun in the world. Try the gun immediately to see how it works. If there is no problem, mass-produce it immediately. After mass production, I will reward your two wives and five maids. Add a mansion."

Zhao Shizhen once developed a five-round flintlock gun in history, which was definitely the top and most advanced gun at the time, but it was not valued by the court because it was developed at its own expense and was later abandoned.

As a god-level craftsman, he doesn't care how much the court rewards him, what he cares most is the recognition and support of his superiors for his ability.

I thought that the bursting gun would never have a chance to be developed again, but I didn't expect that after being summoned, his lifelong long-cherished wish would be fulfilled, and the emperor would reward his wife's servant and the mansion, what a great favor.

Zhao Shizhen immediately bowed down in front of Zhu Youjian, with tears in his eyes:
"His Majesty Xie believes that Weichen has tested many times, and the quality is absolutely no problem. Now we need to find some soldiers with good marksmanship and let them test the stability and reliability of the gun."

Zhu Youjian nodded happily:

"Come on, pass on Yuhuatian."

"obey"

Soon Yuhuatian entered the imperial study room:

"The governor of the West Plant, Yuhuatian, is meeting with the emperor."

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:
"Excuse me, the 20 sharpshooters I asked you to find, have you found them now?"

"Reporting to the emperor, the sharpshooters have assembled and are ready to be dispatched by the emperor at any time."

Zhu Youjian:

"Okay, take them to the Ministry of Industry to pick up the guns immediately, and return to the training ground to test the guns. I will inspect them myself,"

Yuhuatian:
"obey"

Zhu Youjian still has some knowledge about the development history of rifles. The most famous one is a new type of rifle invented by Patrick Ferguson in 1776.

This kind of gun has a range of 200 yards and can shoot an average of 4-6 times per minute. This is indeed a huge improvement compared to the ordinary rifles that can only be fired once per minute and have a range of 50 yards.

Ferguson engraved a spiral pattern in the barrel, which is the rifling line, so that the fired bullet rotates forward at high speed, increasing the flight stability, range and penetration of the bullet.

Later, a scale was installed on the gun to adjust the distance and aim, which improved the shooting hit rate.

The principle of the rifled gun mentioned by Zhao Shizhen is very similar to the principle of the new rifle. If that is the case, the history of rifle development will be advanced by Zhao Shizhen by more than 100 years.

Of course, there is a premise here. Zhu Youjian gave him some blueprints for making new types of rifles, which was of great help and inspiration to Zhao Shizhen.

Even so, the industrial base was quite limited at that time, and it was still difficult to make it.
