Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 231 Xu Da will probably be punished
Now, seeing the panic among the soldiers, Nahachu understood very well that this almost destroyed the military morale he had built up through his previous efforts.

Although he didn't say it, he could see that the fear of the Ming army was spreading among the army again.

No matter what, it is impossible for Naha to let this situation continue.

The best way is to come back with revenge.The Ming army won a battle, so his side will also win a big victory!
However, it is absolutely impossible for him to enter the pass to fight the Ming army.Naha has not been so brain-dead yet, he can go to the pass to find his place.

In fact, he has always been confused. There must be [-] to [-] men in the army on the other side of Gray Mountain. Why were they all wiped out in the pass?
He has also experienced Xu Da's skills.Logically speaking, Brother Bieli might be defeated when he faced Xu Da, but he couldn't figure it out if the entire army was wiped out.

Now, the Ming army has withdrawn into the pass. If they want to regain their position, they can only find it from the Ming army guard station in Liaodong.

However, after the continuous attacks before Naha came out, the Ming army's guard post outside the pass was actually in name only.Except for the Ming army huddled in the city, basically there was no one alive outside.

If we concentrate our forces to attack one or two guard posts, that would be no problem.But there is nothing worth fighting in these guard posts. If the losses are large, just killing those Ming soldiers who stayed in the guard posts will also not be conducive to boosting morale.

To be honest, Naha was really in trouble.

Originally, he even felt that he was powerful enough and wanted to send people to Goryeo to ask Goryeo to fulfill its obligations as a vassal state.

This sudden defeat disrupted all his plans.If the Koreans knew about this defeat, they would definitely choose to wait and see, and they would not be obedient.

Sad, sad!

I think back then, when the iron cavalry of the Great Yuan Empire swept across the world, how could I be as frustrated as I am now!

Naha thought about it, thought about it, and convened his confidantes to discuss it, and finally decided to send out his troops in turn. In Liaodong, he went to the guards of the Ming army to show off his might.No matter what, it can always boost morale.

........................

In the spring of the 14th year of Hongwu, winter passed and spring came, and everything revived!

Zhang Yifan stayed in the blacksmith shop, to be precise, it was the local war bureau. He disassembled the flintlock gun and explained it to them one by one according to its accessories. He selected skilled craftsmen to take the lead and divided them into groups to make each accessory.

Before that, the units were unified, and a vernier caliper was first created, with millimeters as the error unit.

You want to say how innovative the flintlock gun is, but it's not.It is just an improvement on the basis of the musket. These skilled craftsmen, even if they are uneducated, will not have much difficulty understanding it.

The same principle applies to the Fran cannon. Zhang Yifan spent three days explaining it carefully to the craftsmen who made the cannon, and after answering their questions, he also let them try to build it under the leadership of skilled craftsmen.

Anyway, both Zhu Di and Xu Da promised to give him whatever he asked for.To this end, he offered a reward to each group. On the basis of meeting the quality requirements, he set up bonuses according to ranking: the No. 1 group was rewarded with a thousand guan; the No. 2 group was rewarded with 3 guan; the No. [-] group was rewarded with [-] guan; The .[-] group will be rewarded with one hundred strings.

There are basically five craftsmen in each group, even if it is only No.3, one person can be divided into about 1 guns.For these craftsmen, it is a lot of money, which is about two years' income.Not to mention, if it's No.[-], it's money that can only be had in a dream.

This encouragement, and the fact that it was said by the Prince Consort, the famous God of Wealth in the Ming Dynasty, immediately drove these craftsmen crazy.

The prince consort has taught you how to do it, but if you still can't do it, you're really stupid.

Zhang Yifan didn't care what they did. He left Peiping and went to Tianjin to check the terrain, select a location for the fish pine plant, and build a fishing fleet. It took him another half a month.

With the experience of Xiangshan County Fish Floss Factory, it will be much easier for Tianjin Fish Floss Factory.

Moreover, there are many wars in the north, and one consequence of this is that there are more women than men.

It just so happens that here at the Fish Floss Factory, you can hire female workers.The salary offered to employees can be as much as that of a man in the family.

Zhang Yifan stipulated that family members of fishing boats employed by the Yusong Factory would be given priority, which further promoted the expansion of the fleet.

It took another month for Zhang Yifan to straighten out this matter.

Time soon came to early February of the 14th year of Hongwu. At this time, Lan Yu and Zhu Di returned from Juehua Island.As soon as he saw Zhang Yifan, Zhu Di said very excitedly: "Juehua Island is big enough, and it can hide 5 to [-] horses without any problem. There is fresh water on the island, and it is gourd-shaped, and can be parked on the sea side. A navy ship, this is definitely a good place to store troops, especially a naval garrison!"

Lan Yu listened on the side and nodded in agreement: "Before the initial garrison, we can strengthen the guard force in the Liaoxi Corridor to shield the Tatars from exploring the horse. After the garrison, the Tatars will not discover the island as long as they cannot reach the island. There is a large army stationed there. It’s hard to hide it for a year, but it’s absolutely fine for half a year.”

After Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "This is the best!"

Juehua Island was also a tourist place in later generations.It is said that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, Juehua Island was called Peach Blossom Island, which may be the Peach Blossom Island of Huang Yaoshi.Of course, this is the martial arts plane.

Zhang Yifan thought for a moment and then put it back, and then said to Zhu Di and Lan Yu: "Isn't it good at naval and land warfare? In addition, if the land warfare army takes a boat, there will be problems, right? I suggest you, it is best to advance in advance. Under training, we can solve this problem!”

When Lan Yu heard this, he was slightly startled, and then said seriously: "What the prince-in-law said makes sense. The troops rescuing Haizhou Guard must be elite land warriors. It takes a day's boat to arrive in Liaodong. There must be many troops there." Pawns will get seasick, which will always affect their combat effectiveness to some extent, so they must be selected and trained in advance."

Zhang Yifan also took a boat ride in later generations. He would vomit after sitting for an hour.It was also based on his own memory, and he knew that a specialized Marine Corps would be established in later generations. Therefore, he directly proposed this concept at this time.

Generals like Lan Yu have very strict requirements for the army.Zhang Yifan just mentioned this and got an immediate response from him.

In this regard, Zhu Di is still close.

But at this time, after listening to Lan Yu's words, he did not object.After the two of them were going to go back to discuss this matter with Xu Da, they immediately started working on it.

After they had nothing to say, Zhang Yifan smiled and said to them: "I'm talking about the musket. Two days ago, news came that it had been built. Now that you are back, I am also very busy here. It’s almost done, let’s go back and take a look together!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di was immediately overjoyed. He opened his arms and stretched them towards Zhang Yifan.

But this time, before his hand touched Zhang Yifan's arm, he saw Zhang Yifan's cold gaze.

Suddenly, Zhu Di immediately remembered, raised his hands, pretended to be lazy, and said with a smile: "Look, I stretched!"

Zhang Yifan: "..." The image of Emperor Yongle has already collapsed on his side!

Lan Yu pretended not to see it and just urged: "Then let's go back to Peiping quickly!"

………………

When they arrived in Peiping, they found that Xu Da, who was mobilizing manpower to build the Great Wall, had rushed back to Peiping before them.As soon as he saw them, his eyes were only fixed on Zhang Yifan, and he said with a very happy expression: "Yifan, Yifan, you are really amazing! In my life, Xu Da, I, have not been able to convince many people. Now, , you have to count as one!"

When he said these words, both Lan Yu and Zhu Di were shocked.

Who is he?
Wei Guogong Xu Da, the No. 1 military general in the founding of the Ming Dynasty, is their biggest role model!

I really didn't expect that Xu Da would say such words to a person who had never led an army in a war today!

Really, how many people in this world can receive such praise from Duke Wei? !

After this shocking thought flashed through their minds, the two of them immediately came to their senses and immediately understood that the reason why Xu Da said this must have been to see the kind of musket invented by Zhang Yifan first, so he said this. words.

In other words, the musket invented by Zhang Yifan conquered Wei Guogong Xu Da!The power of the musket must be unexpected!
Thinking of this, Zhu Di immediately shouted excitedly: "Let's go and see something!"

Even Lan Yu, who usually doesn't have many emotional ups and downs, also echoed excitedly: "Yes, let's see how powerful the new musket is!"

Although Zhang Yifan had described the new musket before, it was just talk after all.It is the most real thing to see the muskets that are really built!
Xu Da obviously knew the mood of Zhu Di and Lan Yu, and did not stop him. He immediately nodded and said: "Let's meet, the future wars will definitely change because of the emergence of this kind of musket!"

After saying that, the three people walked away quickly.

Zhang Yifan didn't have time to speak from the beginning to the end. He was a little emotional when he saw that the three of them, the three most famous people who founded the Ming Dynasty, or the early Ming Dynasty, were so excited.

If these three people could see the firearms of later generations, let alone Gatling, would they wet their pants with excitement?
In his mind, he imagined Zhu Di, Xu Da and Lan Yu peeing their pants in excitement, and Zhang Yifan trembled with fear.The picture is so beautiful, I can’t even imagine it!
Shaking his head, he shook the thought out of his mind, and he followed quickly, and passed together.

In about a quarter of an hour, several people arrived on the school field.

Zhu Di saw it at a glance. There was a musket in front of them.And he could tell right away that this was a new type of firearm.Because although they are both muskets, there are still many differences from the sudden muskets in the military today.

Involuntarily, Zhu Di stepped out and was the first to reach the new musket. He immediately picked it up and started observing.

Zhang Yifan was behind and shook his head: Isn't it just a flintlock gun?So excited!You are King Yan, who can compete with you?
Sapphire was only one step behind, and immediately stood beside Zhu Di, her eyes widened, staring at the shooting part of the new musket.

Logically speaking, at this time, it is time for Zhang Yifan to come on stage and introduce this flintlock gun to these two bumpkins.

However, before Zhang Yifan could speak, Xu Da was already there, pointing at various parts of the flintlock gun and explaining what he was doing?

Even more than that, Xu Da also took the initiative to get the ammunition next to him, and began to explain to Zhu Di and Lan Yu again.

Since Zhang Yifan, a time traveler, has clicked on golden fingers, of course he will not just click on one.The ammunition equipped with the flintlock musket also used paper shell ammunition.It is to separate the gunpowder and lead bullets in advance, and just tear up the paper to quantitatively load them, thus increasing the loading speed.

This approach also has no technical content.In fact, it already existed in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.It's just a pity that under the corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention doing this, even muskets can cut corners and provide you with explosive guns!

When Zhang Yifan saw Xu Da explaining so actively, he didn't care, so he could save his saliva.

After a while, Xu Da finished his explanation and personally took a flintlock gun to demonstrate loading and shooting to Zhu Di and Lan Yu.

Zhang Yifan suspected that even if he was running naked at this time, these three people would not look at him.Because all they have in their eyes is the flintlock gun!

At three o'clock and one line, Xu Da aimed at the target and pulled the trigger...

As a result, it was embarrassing!

Didn't fire the flintlock!

When Xu Da saw it, he quickly explained: "This gun has a certain possibility of misfiring. I have tried it many times, and probably one of the six times it will misfire."

After saying that, he had already pulled the trigger again and raised the gun again to aim.

Zhu Di and Lan Yu seemed to be less excited after hearing this, but they still watched Xu Da's movements intently.

There was a "pop" sound, and gunpowder smoke came out from the shooting position. This time, there was no misfire.

Xu Da put down his flintlock gun, turned to look at Zhu Di and Lan Yu and said, "Look, has it started?"

After finishing speaking, he started to reload, and at the same time said: "Pay attention, look at my reloading speed!"

For muskets, reloading speed is naturally also very critical.

Xu Da fired three shots in total, and the last two shots were fired.

Then, he asked someone to send the target over.

When Xu Da got the gun target, he said with a little pride: "Did you see it? Is this distance far enough? I hit two shots!"

Zhang Yifan listened on the side and couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.If Qi Jiguang were here, with Xu Da's distance and hit rate, he would probably be punished!
However, Zhu Di and Lan Yu had no such idea at all, but looked shocked.To them, such a long distance and such a good hit rate are simply magical.

Zhu Di couldn't hold himself back and immediately took the flintlock gun. He also wanted to try shooting!
