Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 42 You are so fierce
Back in the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang first went to Queen Ma to check in, and then went to Guo Huifei's place.

Concubine Guo Hui is the daughter of Guo Zixing and the adopted sister of Queen Ma. Apart from Queen Ma, she is the most favored.

When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived, she had already dressed up. The two had a conversation, and then Zhu Yuanzhang took her to study the study materials together.

"My dear concubine, she smells so good today. What spices were used?"

After finishing, Zhu Yuanzhang asked while smelling his beloved concubine's body fragrance.

"This is not a perfume, it is the aroma left by bathing with something called soap. How about it, Your Majesty? Do you like it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned: "Soap? Did you send someone to buy it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little displeased. That piece of shit was just making money from other people, and it was also making money from him. It was really unreasonable!
"No, the girl from the Xu family gave it to me, and several people in the palace shared it."

"You mean the one from the fourth family?"

"Ah."

The fourth child mentioned by Zhu Yuanzhang is of course King Yan.

"It's time for the fourth child to come back. After the New Year, we will let him go to Peking to join the feudal clan."

Concubine Guo Hui responded softly. She couldn't talk too much about such political matters. In this harem, no one except Queen Ma dared to ask more about the affairs of the foreign court.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was his rule that the harem should not interfere with politics, so he put aside the matter of King Yan and asked about soap again.

"My beloved, let me ask you, if this soap was sold for three hundred yuan, would you buy it?"

Guo Huifei thought for a while and said, "I know how to do it. It's not expensive to sell such a good thing for three hundred coins."

"Three hundred cents is not expensive? You prodigal bitch!"

Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded dissatisfiedly.

Guo Huifei was not happy either, she pouted and pushed him: "Why are you so mean? I didn't buy it!"

Although she is not as able to control the emperor as Empress Ma, she can still act coquettishly and get angry occasionally.

Zhu Yuanzhang also felt that he was being unreasonable, so he snorted and said nothing more, but the thought of that bitch making a fortune just like that made him feel more heartbroken than losing money himself.

You must get this thing. If the light one doesn't work, use the dark one. If the dark one doesn't work...then replace it with the light one!
Li Wei didn't know that his precious soap had been targeted by Zhu Yuanzhang, so he went to work as usual the next day, clocked in, fished and waited until get off work.

Now that the production of flintlock muskets has begun, there are not many craftsmen in the War Bureau. Especially whether the spring steel can be produced depends on luck. It often takes several times to produce a batch of qualified ones, so the manufacturing speed is very slow. There are only a dozen of them a day. At this rate, it will take less than a few months or even half a year to equip them in batches.

But it’s okay to make a few dozen for training first, and they’ll be ready in two days.

While he was fishing in the cabinet, Song Zhong came over.

"Master Li!"

Song Zhong bowed first.

"Hey, Song Zhong, long time no see, why are you here?"

Li Wei smiled enthusiastically and said that Song Zhong could be said to be one of the few acquaintances he had in the Ming Dynasty, and he was definitely considered one of his good friends.

Song Zhong smiled sheepishly. It was true that Li Wei had never seen him before, but he often hung out on the wall of Li Wei's house. If not every day, it was only every now and then.Facing Li Wei's enthusiasm at this time, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Master Li, the emperor ordered me to take thirty personal guards to train with Master Li. I wonder when we will start?" Li Wei understood when he heard that these were the personal guards sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to train him in three strikes.

"Oh, where is he?"

"They are all at the station. If Mr. Li wants to start training, I will ask them to gather at the school ground."

"Don't worry, let's go to the school grounds first."

"Okay, I'll take the adults there."

Song Zhonggong said, Li Wei is now higher in rank than him, and more importantly, the emperor has arranged for them to receive training under Li Wei's orders, so Li Wei will be his immediate superior for the time being.

However, Li Wei didn't take it to heart and treated him like an ordinary friend.

Song Zhong took Li Wei to the school grounds. The place was quite spacious, enough for thousands of people to train in formation. The two came to a corner of an open space. Since they only had 30 people, they didn't use much space.

"Okay, let's stay here from now on. When I'm ready, I'll ask them to gather here before nine o'clock in the morning tomorrow, uh, at three quarters, and we'll start training then."

"Okay, Master Li!"

After arranging for Song Zhong, Li Wei went to the war bureau again and asked how many flintlock guns had been produced. As expected, the result was that after several days, there were less than a hundred. Li Wei mentioned thirty A few are used for training, and this has been approved by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Since the trial of the flintlock rifle, the defense of the Bingzhan Bureau has become even stricter. The imperial city was already heavily guarded, and now no one else is allowed to enter or leave.

Asking Fang Jianbao to prepare the guns and ammunition, and arranging several familiar craftsmen, Li Wei left.

The training of this group of pro-army troops mainly includes three aspects, one is the array, the other is the use of flintlock guns, especially the speed of reloading, and the third is shooting.

Li Wei mainly prepared to train the formation and reloading speed. As for whether the shooting was accurate or not, it didn't matter. Anyway, these people were mainly demonstrating the formation, and they were not really going to fight on the battlefield.

As long as the shooting speed is fast, the shots are crackling, the queue is neat and orderly, and Zhu Yuanzhang is elated when he sees it, then he will be fine if he gets the gold.

Early the next morning, when Li Wei arrived at the school grounds, the pro-soldiers were already waiting there. These men were all tall, mighty, and very good-looking.

Li Wei came with the craftsmen. First, he asked the craftsmen to give each of them a gun, and then explained to these people how to use the gun.

In fact, it's not difficult at all. There are just a few steps and after the craftsmen demonstrate it a few times, you can basically master it.

But just knowing is not enough, you still have to be fast!
Practicing reloading and clearing the chamber is the main training subject.

In addition, they also need to practice formation. In this aspect, Li Wei can only demonstrate it by himself. He teaches them how to turn, start, walk, run, and skip the forward step, which is not used.

In addition, there was also a queue to report the numbers and so on. I selected a few useful things and demonstrated them to him, and then he trained according to the passwords.

Thirty people, almost like a class in school. Li Wei is a serious college student after all, and has received military training. And after shouting soap, he can now shout slogans easily. It feels good to train these people.

The pro-soldiers held the well-made new firecrackers in their hands and felt extremely novel as they watched Li Wei continuously demonstrate various actions.

There are also fire guns in the Ming army, but their current fire guns can basically only be used as cold weapons after one shot. They are not very useful on the battlefield. In actual combat, most of them still use cold weapons and a small amount of artillery. host.

But the new firearms in their hands are different. Although they also need to be loaded and cleared, they do not require open flames to ignite. The paper-wrapped fixed ammunition is also much more convenient, and its actual combat effectiveness is far superior to the previous firecrackers.

Under Li Wei's guidance, Song Zhong led the 30 people to begin arduous training, including formation, loading and clearing, and each training course alternated every day.
