The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 84 The little people teach Zhu Yuanzhang a lesson, Mr. Ye can rest in peace (seeking the first order)

In the firearms testing ground, the shooting experiment of the third row of thirty cannons was completed immediately.

This also means that the ninety new-style cannons manufactured in this batch have all completed the shooting experiment with the maximum range.

"Record,"

"Master Ye's new cannon has a maximum firing range of 230 five steps (1900 meters)!"

"The next thing to do is the range adjustment experiment!"

"The range requirements for the front row, the maximum range is 230 five steps!"

"The range requirement of the middle platoon is 170 steps!"

"The range requirement for the back row is [-] steps!"

While waving the flag, the semaphore soldiers also issued several orders loudly.

Obviously, he was so happy and proud when he asked to record the maximum range.

You must know that the cannons issued by the imperial court have a range of only three or four hundred steps, and they have little effect other than scaring war horses.

No matter in terms of range or power, compared with Master Ye's new cannon, it can be described by the words 'the difference between clouds and mud'.

Not only that, but if the imperial cannons wanted to adjust the firing range, it could only be achieved by controlling the amount of gunpowder.

Controlling the amount of gunpowder is completely a technical job that varies from person to person, and it is impossible to achieve the horizontal blockade explosion effect of dozens or hundreds of cannons.

Only the mechanical elevation angle adjustment mechanism can make the shells fired by dozens or hundreds of cannons all explode on a horizontal horizontal line, thus forming a dense blockade explosion effect.

Thinking of these advantages, the semaphore soldier was extremely happy.

You must know that he is also a member of the Yanmenguan garrison, and he was temporarily seconded to help issue orders only for this experiment.

It was a great blessing in his life to be able to witness such a miracle happen.

Of course, everything depends on the experimental results.

At this very moment,
In addition to the breach formed by the collapse of the wall, everyone was still immersed in the tremendous power of the new cannon and the shock brought by the ultra-long range.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang and the others, who tried their best to suppress the killing intent in their hearts, just stared at those new cannons.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that these new cannons were much better than his cannon officially named "Wankou Big Gun" in terms of workmanship and style.

All the cannons in front of him are equipped with car wheels, not to mention the convenience of maneuvering, and there is also an elevation angle adjustment mechanism that he has never seen before.

As the semaphore soldiers' orders were issued, the artillerymen began to adjust the elevation angle of the cannons!
Sure enough, the elevation angles of the three rows of cannons were already visible to the naked eye under the operation of the artillery.

"Look, why are they transporting so much pork?"

"There are so many Northern Yuan cavalry armors?"

"What can't be understood here? Of course, fix them within the range of the explosion, and then see the killing effect of the explosion!"

"."

Next to Zhu Yuanzhang, those masters who were shirtless like him and had their hands in their hands immediately started chatting.

As they said, the masters of the firearms factory randomly fixed a lot of pork in the explosion range corresponding to the range.

They used wooden stakes to set up half a fan of pork, and then covered them with Beiyuan cavalry armor. From a distance, there were at least two hundred such Beiyuan cavalry substitutes.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the arrangement of these pork armored experimental products. If they were equipped with a war horse model, it would really mean the moment when the Northern Yuan cavalry charged.

"Fire all!"

In Zhu Yuanzhang's wide-eyed eyes, the Banner Soldiers gave orders loudly with great excitement.

At the same time, the red and blue double flags held in both hands were also waved down fiercely, as if he was also one of the gunners who fired.

"Boom!"

Ninety cannons fired fiery shells almost simultaneously.

Ninety artillery shells dragged black smoke and flowed clouds, drawing three horizontal parabolas in the sky, which can also be said to be moving at high speed in the air, a firepower network arranged in a "thirty horizontal and three vertical" arrangement.

And this huge firepower net directly hit the three horizontal lines on the ground.

Ninety shells hit the ground and exploded almost at the same time. The heat flow effect and the degree of ground tremor cannot be expressed by multiplying the previous effect by three.

In just an instant, the entire test site was covered by gunpowder smoke and raised dust.

As for the experimental pork that served as the Northern Yuan cavalry, they couldn't see anything!
And these walls have almost collapsed in half!
After everything cleared up, the entire Yanmen Armory was boiling, because for them, this was tantamount to winning a big battle.

You must know that cannons are not armored weapons. Since they were officially put into production for four months, they have also failed many times due to unqualified experiments.

These are the first batches of new cannons ready for delivery!

With this first batch, the second isn't far off!
But Zhu Yuanzhang and the others stared at the pork. There really wasn't a single one intact, either it was fragmented or had extensive burns, and at the worst, there were several fragments in the body.

Looking at the results of such an experiment, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that his back was getting cold!
Just because once these cannons are aimed at Zhu Yuanzhang, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered at himself again. He said before that it was impossible for others to have this technology, but now let him see it with his own eyes, a firearm technology that he never dared to dream of in his life!
"Okay, let's go everyone!"

"Tonight, let's celebrate with these pork!"

"Tomorrow we will put big red flowers on the cannon and officially deliver it to the artillery of the Yanmen garrison!"

The masters in the cold weapon factory area laughed and began to scold the old masters in the firearms factory area. It was too stingy to treat them with these pork.

As the crowd dispersed, Zhu Yuanzhang and the others who were standing still were also found by Lao Liu and the others.

at the same time,

In a condescending place not far from them, Ye Qing and Wu Yong looked at the experimental results in front of them, and showed satisfied smiles.

For Ye Qing, apart from satisfaction, there is also a sense of relief that he can rest in peace.

"With them, even if I'm not around, Bei Yuan won't be able to call in."

"Even if a pig comes to command, at least it can wait until the imperial army comes to support it!"

"."

Thinking of this, Ye Qing decisively turned around.

From now on, there is only one thing he has to do in this era, and that is to tell these imperial envoys to go back and sue him.

However, in his opinion, it must be possible.

Just imagine, the imperial envoy sent by His Majesty the Emperor to conduct a secret investigation, was taken as a spy and sent to labor reform for several days, and then he was dismissed after being paid 250 Wen.

If he, Ye Qing, was an imperial envoy, he definitely didn't even have the intention to come to the door to make a theory, and he definitely just wanted to let His Majesty kill such a person as soon as possible.

Coincidentally, this is also Ye Qing's goal!
After a while, Ye Qing and Wu Yong got into his luxury carriage one after another.

As soon as Ye Qing got into the carriage, he lay down on the reclining sofa-like seat at the back. It can be said that he closed his eyes and rested his mind, or he could be said to be peacefully lying down to die.

Yes,

It is indeed not the best outcome for him to send an imperial envoy to secretly investigate this matter, and it is true that he will have to wait for nearly two months before he can wait for the imperial decree or oral order of death.

But the matter has come to this point, and there is no other way, but to find a way to shorten the waiting time as much as possible, and the imperial envoy is so angry that he hastened to go back and file a complaint, which is the most effective way at present.

At the moment when Ye Qing and Wu Yong left the gate of the arsenal in a carriage, in an inconspicuous corner of the arsenal, Old Liu pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and began to curse.

"Old Guo!"

"You're a fucking elm head!"

"You are the one who read the book into the dog's stomach. Why are you angry? Why do you say that Mr. Ye is a traitor?"

"Sit down for me, I will give you a trick today!".
