Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 189 Anti-Japanese Artifact, The Wolf Constitution Born Early!
With the efforts of all the princes and eunuchs, a huge lever device was built.

Kaos on the side looked at the device and didn't say anything.

Although it looks crude, there is nothing wrong with the overall idea.

"Second brother, wrap it tighter."

Zhu Yu and Zhu Yu are tying ropes to the big copper tripod, which is enough strength to feed the mother.

"Don't worry, third brother."

Zhu Xi is still good at working hard.

After a while, the rope was finally wrapped.

A long lever hung a large bronze tripod on one end, and extended from the other end to hang a rope.

Everything was ready, Zhu Xi and Zhu Xi left the big bronze tripod.

"Fourth brother, you can pull it now."

Zhu Yan shouted at Zhu Di.

"Okay, third brother."

Zhu Di nodded, and then began to pull the rope.

The rope stretched instantly, and under the action of the lever, the force was amplified and transmitted to the side of the big bronze tripod.

But before the big bronze tripod left the ground, the lever had already started to bend.

Zhu Di continued to pull hard, but he still couldn't move.

"No, second brother, I can't pull it anymore."

Zhu Di shouted at Zhu Fun.

Zhu Yan looked at the blueprint in his hand, and frowned.

"Fourth brother, let me try."

Zhu Xi directly replaced Zhu Di, and he came to pull the rope.

Sure enough, the older you are, the more strength you have.

However, the results did not change much.

The big bronze tripod still couldn't leave the ground.

"Shouldn't be!"

Zhu Yan looked at the blueprint in his hand, thinking about the reason.

Apparently, he didn't know enough about the torque of the arm, and he simply made a lever device based on the drawings.

This tripod-raising experiment will continue.

……

Lishui County.

It is already the second day.

Su Jing taught Zhu Biao and Zhu Wei in the morning, and Mu Ying also listened curiously for a while.

But he found that he didn't understand at all.

At this time, the content of Zhu Biao and Zhu Huan's study did not have a certain foundation, so it was already difficult to understand.

However, he had heard about Zhu Biaoju's alchemy furnace when he inquired about Jindan before.

Yesterday I asked Zhu Biao specifically, and Zhu Biao briefly demonstrated the function of the movable pulley.

It directly shocked Mu Ying.

Just a pulley and a rope can actually amplify a person's strength so much.

Simply miraculous.

This moving pulley block must be extremely useful when building in the army.

"Mr. Su is very knowledgeable, I really admire him."

Mu Ying said to Su Jing.

At this time, Su Jing's lecture was over, and Zhu Biao was working on the telescope.

Su Jing waved his hand and said, "Is there any admiration or not? I don't think you can understand it. There is no need to flatter me."

When Su Jing said this, Mu Ying was also a little embarrassed, he really didn't understand.

"Sorry, I was being rude."

Helpless, Mu Ying could only apologize to Su Jing.

Su Jing looked up at Mu Ying, a little helpless.

But he also had to admit that the tutoring of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons was not bad.

"By the way, why didn't you ask your adoptive father for binoculars. Last time I made a lot for him."

Su Jing asked.

Counting what Zhu Biao did and what he did, it is almost a hundred times smaller.

Muying in front of him is Zhu Yuanzhang's adoptive son, why didn't he get any of them.

"Ok?"

Mu Ying was taken aback, a little surprised.

He immediately turned to Zhu Biao and asked, "Brother, did Mr. Su really make a lot of telescopes for father?"

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "That's right, my father asked for it from Master Su himself, didn't my eldest brother get it?"

Zhu Biao was also confused by this.

Mu Ying is his eldest brother, who has been guarding the field for a long time and is also a member of the party.

How could it not even get a single telescope.

No, he didn't even know about telescopes.

Mu Ying was dumbfounded, she didn't expect, she didn't expect, she really didn't get anything.

"I see."

Mu Ying replied, but in this tone, she was clearly not that happy.

I definitely won't be angry, Zhu Yuanzhang is very kind to him for adopting him, and Mu Ying knows this very well.

But dissatisfaction is definitely still there.

The main reason is that this telescope is too useful on the battlefield.

"Brother, I will try to do more for you."

Zhu Biao realized the problem, and immediately said to Mu Ying.

"Thank you brother."

Mu Ying nodded.

For his prince brother Zhu Biao, he gave himself all the care.

Zhu Biao remembered something at this moment, and asked Mu Ying, "Brother Mu, have you encountered Japanese pirates?"

When he left Zhu Yuanzhang's side last time, Zhu Biao still remembered his father Zhu Yuanzhang talking about Japanese pirates.

Before Mu Ying came back, Su Jing smiled and said, "Niu Yi, it seems that your geography is average. The Japanese pirates are a thing along the coast of Shandong, and the islands in Dongying are far away from Jianning."

"Mr. Su is right. The Japanese pirates in Ming Dynasty are mainly in the coast of Shandong."

Mu Ying nodded and said: "But it's not that they have never appeared before, it's just that they are extremely rare, and most of them were washed by the waves."

Although guarding in Fujian, Mu Ying has a relatively good understanding of the military situation in the Ming Dynasty.

He is not some embroidered pillow, as the adopted son of Zhu Yuanzhang, he can guard one side at a young age.

Relying not only on relationships, but also on one's own efforts.

Zhu Biao asked: "Brother Mu, my father often said that the pirates along the coast of Shandong are very annoying. You are also stationed along the coast, so what can you do to deal with the pirates?"

In front of him was a general by the sea, Zhu Biao naturally asked immediately.

Mu Ying shook her head and said, "I've also learned about the Japanese pirates along the coast of Shandong, and it's really hard to deal with them."

"They are not many in number, but they have excellent weapons. Not only Japanese swords, but also powerful crossbows and firearms. They retreat after looting the people, which is very difficult to deal with."

Regarding Zhu Biao's question, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had already asked Mu Ying.

However, the problem of Japanese pirates is not just a problem during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

That was a problem that still existed during the Jiajing period.

How could it be solved so easily.

"firearm?"

Su Jing was slightly taken aback when she heard Mu Ying's words.

In his memory, when the Japanese pirates were fighting against the Japanese pirates, Qi Jiguang had firearms at that time.

But now it's only the Hongwu period, is there even one?
"That's right, the pirates have firearms, what's wrong? Mr. Su."

Mu Ying replied.

"It's nothing, the memory is just a little messed up."

Su Jing replied.

He really misremembered, firearms appeared as early as the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang's Shenji Camp is very famous.

Teaching Zhu Biao and Zhu Wei all day long, how Su Jing really recalled the history of this war, it is indeed a bit misremembered.

"Are Japanese pirates so difficult to deal with?"

Zhu Biao said angrily.

The Japanese pirates harassed the border, and the victims were all the people along the coast.

Mu Ying sighed and said: "Yes, the Japanese swords of the Japanese pirates are very sharp. The blades of our army's swords are often cut off during battles, so it is easy to panic when fighting."

"Why is this? Can the Japanese sword be so powerful?"

Zhu Biao was a little puzzled.

In his eyes, Japanese pirates are just barbarians, and the technology of blacksmithing and casting is all passed down from China.

Why is the weapon not as good as the opponent.

"Niu Yi, it's natural that the Japanese sword is powerful. Do you know how long it takes to make a Japanese sword? It's not a mass-produced thing, and it's naturally better than our army's standard saber in all aspects."

Su Jing said lightly.

Su Jing doesn't understand the war of cold weapons, but Su Jing can still talk about this cold weapon.

"Oh, does Mr. Su know Japanese swords?"

Mu Ying looked at Su Jing with a lot of curiosity in her words.

Su Jing nodded and said, "Know a thing or two."

"I also ask Master Su to explain why our army's Saber is not as good as the Japanese Saber."

Zhu Biao immediately asked Su Jing.

He knew that Su Jing's knowledge of a thing or two did not mean that he only knew a thing or two.

"Please ask Mr. Su to clarify."

Mu Ying also followed Zhu Biao's example and asked Su Jing.

"alright."

Su Jing nodded, and then brought a piece of paper.

Then he drew two lines on the paper, a straight line and a curved line.

"The blades of our army's sabers are roughly like this. They are mainly straight lines, slightly curved, and the blades are wider. In order to keep the weight of the blades from being too heavy, the thickness of the blades can only be weakened.

On the other hand, the radian of the blade of the Japanese sword is greatly increased, the width of the blade is reduced, and the tip of the blade has a small radian. Building, to reduce the overall weight of the blade without reducing the strength of the blade. "

Su Jing drew while talking, and a simple sketch of a Japanese sword came out like this.

Mu Ying looked at Su Jing's sketch and nodded slightly.

He also seized Japanese swords, as Su Jing said.

Su Jing continued: "The blade is thick and curved, which greatly improves the chopping performance of the blade, and its strength is very high, but at the same time, it also requires high casting technology."

"As far as I know, Japanese knives cannot be mass-produced at all, and only a few can be made out of a hundred."

"It is obviously impossible to equip our Ming army with such a knife."

"While Japanese pirate invasions are mostly small-scale operations, their numbers are small, and their weapons and equipment can naturally be much more sophisticated."

Zhu Biao looked at the sketch and said, "Master Su, is it true that Daming really has nothing to do with them?"

"If it's just a Japanese sword, I have a way to deal with it."

Su Jing said that what appeared in his mind at this moment was Qi Jiguang.

This is a must-learn content in history textbooks.

"Mr. Su, do you really have a solution?"

Mu Ying was a little surprised.

If the problem of the Japanese sword can be solved, it will naturally be much easier to deal with the Japanese pirates.

Su Jing nodded, and then began to draw on the paper again.

Not long after, a sketch of a wolf constitution appeared on the paper.

"What weapon is this?"

Zhu Biao could see that it should be a weapon, but he couldn't see what it was.

Mu Ying identified it carefully, and said, "Could it be a spear?"

Su Jing said: "The name of this object is Langxian, and it is made of long moso bamboo. The top of the moso bamboo is fitted with an iron spear head, and the thorns on both sides are ironed with fire. "

"In this way, although the Japanese swords of the Japanese pirates are sharp, they are difficult to cut off these soft branches easily, and the layers of moso bamboo are deepened, which can also prevent the opponent from piercing with a long spear."

"At the same time, the top of the wolf constitution is luxuriant and dense, whether it is against the Japanese pirates' bows or firearms, it has a very good cover effect. When rushing into the battle, it can protect itself and is very lethal. .”

"The most important thing is that the wolf constitution is easy to make and the craftsmanship is not complicated. Because of its huge size, it is not suitable for Japanese pirates, but it is very suitable for our army."

Needless to say, the anti-Japanese weapon invented by Qi Jiguang is very easy to use.

After all, it is something that has been tested in actual combat.

However, Mu Ying and Zhu Biao were not so excited at the moment, but thought carefully whether this wolf constitution was as useful as Su Jing said.

"Mr. Su, this kind of moso bamboo is quite common, but in this way, I'm afraid it's not so easy to control because of the heavy weight of the front end."

Mu Ying asked Su Jing, as the general guarding one side, he still has his own ideas.

"Don't worry about that."

Su Jing smiled and said, "Come on, let's make a simple wolf gun on the spot and we'll know."

No matter how well said, after all, it is not as simple and straightforward as taking a ready-made sample.

Su Jing took the machete, followed by Mu Ying and Zhu Biao, and the three left the house.

Not far behind Su Jing's courtyard, there is a bamboo forest.

Although it is late autumn and there are not many leaves of moso bamboo left, it has no effect on making wolf xian.

Su Jing chopped off three of them, and dragged each of them back to the yard.

Then I simply trimmed the branches, kept the top branches, and cleaned up the handshake at the back.

Su Jing didn't have a gun head on the front end of the moso bamboo, so he found a steel fork head from home and put it on.

The front branches were briefly roasted with fire, and all of them were fully forward, so that they would be more lethal when stabbed out.

As for the tung oil poison and so on, Su Jing didn't do it in order to save trouble.

In about an hour, three simple wolf constitutions were ready.

"Okay, you can simply try it."

Su Jing said to Mu Ying or Zhu Biao.

Mu Ying directly picked up a wolf bag, with his physique, the wolf bag is not heavy.

After simply trying a few forward stabs, Mu Ying has already realized the advantages that Su Jing said.

What this wolf constitution pursues is not to kill the enemy with one blow, but to kill the enemy safely and effectively.

Zhu Biao's side is a little bit more difficult. Compared with Mu Ying who has been in the army all year round, his physical fitness is still worse in all aspects.

At this time, Zhu Biao was only 15 years old, and his body was not yet fully developed.

It is somewhat difficult to control the wolf constitution.

"Mr. Su, can you let me experience this wolf constitution?"

Mu Ying said to Su Jing.

Now that I have the feeling of holding a wolf body, I still need to experience the feeling of facing the wolf body.

"of course can."

Su Jing nodded, and for the sake of safety, removed the steel fork at the front end.

In Mu Ying's hand, she used a wooden stick as a Japanese sword.

Su Jing and Mu Ying practiced simply.

Su Jing didn't have any tricks, only simple straight stabs back and forth, but Mu Ying felt quite a lot of pressure.

The wide attack surface does not give the opponent any room to advance.

There are many branches at the front of the wolf constitution, and it is very difficult to clean them quickly.

If tung oil is poured on it, the toughness will be greatly improved, and if poison is applied, the opponent's actions will be greatly restricted.

too strong!
There is only one feeling in Mu Ying's heart, this thing is simply an "artifact" specially made to fight against the Japanese!
He looked at Su Jing with a strange expression, wondering in his heart:

Is this called unreasonable military strategy?
