Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 419 The only thing that can eliminate shields is weapons!

Usually a fully armed elite soldier, when the enemy does not have armor-piercing weapons.

Before the stamina is exhausted, one person can fight a hundred people without any problem.

This is also the reason why there are many battles recorded in history in which dozens of people chased hundreds of people.

Because in most cases, leather-armored men are invincible on the battlefield.

This situation has never changed since the emergence of bronze armor.

The reason why Ming Dynasty was able to beat the shit out of Bei Yuan when facing the enemy head-on was because Ming Dynasty's Mingguang armor could block the scimitars and bows of the prairie barbarians.

But their leather armor could not stop Ming's spears and arrows.

Because of this, the Ming Dynasty's heavy armored troops.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Rust was an indispensable and important force in destroying all the rebels in the world.

But now, Lin Che said that Armor has reached the end of being eliminated.

This was really unacceptable to Zhu Yuanzhang.

If the armor is useless, what weapon should Ming use to frighten the unyielding barbarians?

Because what Lin Che said was really too shocking.

So much so that Zhu Gui didn't care about martial arts. They all couldn't help but ask similar questions to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Sir, you said that armor will be eliminated. Then wouldn't it mean that our Ming Dynasty has no advantage in weapons when fighting against the barbarians?"

Zhu Bai couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what new type of armor is that instead of armor?"

Due to the limitations of the times, in Zhu Gui's opinion, the only thing that can replace today's armor must be a new type of armor.

But he couldn't figure it out, what else could be more defensive than armor made of steel.

"Armor is like a shield, and the only thing that can eliminate a shield is a weapon."

Regarding the two people's questions, Lin first answered Zhu Bai's.

Looking at the confused little boy.

He also added: "For example, after spears were used in warfare, traditional leather armor was replaced by bronze armor."

"And when iron arrowheads were widely used, iron chainmail came into being."

"As for iron weapons, after iron weapons became rampant in the world, the defense of chain armor was not enough, so various iron armors with extremely strong defense appeared."

Anyway, generally speaking, weapons are basically advanced, so protective gear has to be replaced passively.

When Zhu Bai heard Lin Che's prompt, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Sir, are you saying that in the near future, there will be a weapon that can make all armor lose its protective effect?"

Lin Che smiled slightly, "It's not the future, this kind of weapon has already appeared."

These words made Zhu Bai's eyes widen.

Zhu Gui secretly asked, "Sir, what kind of weapon are you talking about?"

"Firegun!"

Lin Che didn't show off and revealed the answer directly.

The two brothers, who had been looking forward to it, suddenly lost interest when they heard this and said, "Sir, are you kidding us?"

"The gun has a low aiming head and a lot of smoke. Although the power is good, the reloading time is too slow."

"You can't even fire a few rounds when facing an enemy, and it's impossible to eliminate the armor."

Since Zhu and Bai didn't know about the Ming Dynasty's fire cannons, they had been upgraded to the bird cannon era.

Therefore, none of them believed Lin Che's words.

Lin Che did not explain, but just smiled and said: "Weapons are constantly updated."

"In the Song Dynasty, the fire gun was still made of bamboo, and the projectile was not very powerful. It could only be a pipe used to scare horses. But in the Ming Dynasty, it became a weapon capable of killing the enemy."

"Do you dare to say that if she is allowed to develop, the fire gun will not become a more powerful weapon?"

Zhu Gui suddenly fell into silence. Because as Lin Che said, although today's fire guns have many problems.

But its power is obvious to all.

If this is corrected, the armor may become useless in the near future.

But in the secret room, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had heard the answer, was relieved and joked with Liu Sanwu: "Since Lin Che said, Huo Gun will have no defense in the future."

"Then if we suppress the enemy, we will form a firepower unit and equip them with iron armor."

"In this way, no matter how many layers of armor the barbarians wear, they can't block my Ming Dynasty's lead bullets."

"But their weapons can't break through the gunmen's defense? Then aren't our Ming army invincible?"

When Liu Sanwu heard this, the first thing he thought about was not that the army was invincible.

But how much would it cost to form such an army with both muskets and full armor?

……

The mansion next door.

After Zhu Bai accepted the idea that armor would be eliminated by fire guns.

Suddenly he realized: "Sir, I understand. No wonder you want the court to sell armor to the gentry. It turns out that the court already has weapons that can restrain heavy armor."

Although Zhu Bai didn't listen to Lin Che's previous lessons and didn't know that the imperial court already had a new type of blunderbuss.

, but he knew very well that his husband would never act without aim when it came to national affairs.

Although Zhu Gui's trust in Lin Che was not as blind as Zhu Bai's.

But he believed that according to Mr. Lin's wisdom, it would not be difficult to improve the shortcomings of the fire gun.

Therefore, it was acquiesced that if the imperial court sold armor to the gentry, there would be no problem of rebellion.

"The era of iron armor is not many years away. From now on, it will be the world of firecrackers and cannons."

Lin Che was reminded by Zhu Bai's words of the development history of the fire gun.

He couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how good the steel or the armor is, it will ultimately be unable to stop a cheap lead bullet."

"So as long as you can maintain the advantage of the Ming Dynasty's fire guns, you will not only be able to sell armor to the gentry."

"Including ambitious barbarians in the surrounding area, you can sell armor to them to breed their courage and ambition."

"When they encounter the Ming Dynasty army attacking, they will no longer hide around timidly, but will be confident. They will face off against the Ming Dynasty army equipped with new fire guns."

Zhu Gui understood that Lin Che's last few words were answering his questions just now.

It doesn't matter if the Ming army doesn't have the advantage of armor.

As long as there are more advanced fire guns, any armor will be the same as paper.

On the contrary, these eliminated armors can be sold a second time to harvest the wealth of the barbarians.

In the end, these timid mice can be made to take the initiative to walk under the big open fire.

The most conceivable thing is that a group of barbarians in full armor are confident that they want to challenge the authority of the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, their previously invincible armor was useless, and they became lambs to be slaughtered by the Ming army.

The thick iron armor made it impossible for the barbarians to escape even if they wanted to.

It can only be seen as a hopeless and helpless person, falling in the harvest of lead bullets.

Before that, those who were to be harvested by Lin Che were the gentry and landlords who responded to the suppression order.
