Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 55 We are not targeting you

In fact, this kind of spear formation is not without its shortcomings when facing cavalry. For example, when facing a cavalry charge, it is still necessary to ensure the smoothness of the formation, and not to be frightened into chaos by the cavalry charge.

This is a huge test for the soldiers. You must know that the overwhelming power of the cavalry charge is not something that ordinary people can bear. It is not easy for soldiers to maintain the courage to face such a charge without changing their face. An easy thing.

The so-called ten-round shooting is based on the fact that these soldiers will not retreat to the death and can still switch smoothly in formation in the face of the cavalry charge.

However, the spear formation has shortcomings, and so do the cavalry. Not all of them are brave and fearless. As long as the casualties reach a certain proportion, they may be disintegrated before they can reach the spear formation.

And before the cavalry rushed through these two hundred steps, the line-up of gunmen had zero casualties, but the charging cavalry did not.

After Li Wei directed the gun team to shoot several rounds at the 150-step target, he turned to the [-]-step target. After a burst of gunfire, he turned again to the [-]-step target.

The target is designed to be enlarged, and the hit rate is not the focus of his demonstration. Anyway, as long as the firepower is dense enough, it will be fine.

There will definitely be many problems encountered in actual use, which requires military generals to explore slowly by themselves. He is not a military expert, and the use of troops is just a matter of laymen watching the fun.

"Brother Imperial, what kind of firearm is this? It's so powerful!"

Zhu Di looked at the array on the school field with bright eyes at this time, and asked Zhu Biao eagerly beside him.What a surprise in my heart!

Although he is young, his vision is not bad. At this moment, he has even thought of war scenes dominated by firearms on the future battlefield!

"This is called a flintlock gun. It was invented by Li Wei, who was commanding the military formation on the field. He also came up with this spear formation."

After Zhu Di heard this, he immediately turned his eyes to Li Wei, with a greedy look as if he had seen a peerless beauty.

"Li Wei? Is this the Li Wei who advised His Majesty to abolish the Zhongshu Province?"

"Uh, exactly."

Zhu Biao said a little embarrassed that his father was so deceptive, which made him, a son, feel ashamed.

"Li Wei, what a genius, Li Wei..."

After Zhu Di heard this, he looked at Li Wei from a distance and whispered in his mouth.

After firing hundreds of shots at the 150-step target, Li Wei ordered the demonstration to stop and brought the team back to the stand.

"Your Majesty, the spear formation drill has been completed. Please give me instructions!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted "Hello" with satisfaction, and then said:
"Li Wei, you have made great contributions, and I will reward you heavily!"

When Li Wei heard this, he suddenly felt happy and secretly thought that he was sure.

"According to the decree, Li Wei made firearms, organized and trained military formations, and mastered the craftsmanship. He was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry, with a rank of third rank, and continued to take charge of cabinet affairs."

Hearing that he was suddenly promoted, Li Wei felt a little surprised. He didn't care about the size of his official position. Although the higher the official position, the higher the salary, but now that he earns a thousand dollars a month, he doesn't care about the money at all.

But thanks are still due.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

After thinking for a while, Li Wei added: "Your Majesty, making firearms and training spear formations are not the work of one person. I hope your Majesty will learn from this."

"Well, that's right. Each of the officers and soldiers participating in the drill today will be rewarded with ten guan of banknotes. Song Zhong will be promoted to a hundred households. Each person in the military department will be rewarded with ten guan of banknotes. The commander will be in the seventh rank, and the manager will be in the seventh rank."

Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded everyone, and Song Zhong and other soldiers thanked him one after another.

After everyone retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Li Wei still standing there stupidly, and asked:

"Why are you still standing here?"

"what?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment and thought, is this the end?Where is my ten thousand gold?

"Back off." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a slight frown.

"..."

Although he was anxious, he did not dare to directly ask Lao Zhu for money on this occasion, so he could only endure it and retreat first.After the rewards were awarded, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals to Wuying Palace to discuss matters.

As for Li Wei, it was rare that he did not leave early. Instead, he waited until Zhu Yuanzhang had finished discussing matters and then went to Qianqing Palace to see him.

"Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this exercise?"

Li Wei bowed hastily and asked anxiously.

"Well, satisfied."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

"What about the reward of [-] yuan that Your Majesty promised me?"

"Oh, you said that."

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to wake up, then turned around and ordered: "Xu Shou, give it to him."

"According to the order."

Xu Shou took out ten treasure notes and handed them to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the ten treasure notes and said in confusion: "Your Majesty, what you said at that time should be a reward of ten thousand gold, right?"

"Yes, this is ten thousand gold."

Li Wei was stunned and said angrily: "How can this be ten thousand gold coins? This is obviously just ten gold coins!"

"Ten thousand gold is just ten thousand dollars. If you don't believe me, ask others."

Li Wei turned his gaze to Xu Shou, Xu Shou smiled and said: "Master Li, ten thousand gold coins are ten thousand copper coins. If Master Li doesn't want the treasure notes, can I exchange them for copper coins for you?"

"What? Ten thousand gold coins are copper coins?"

"Yes, Master Li."

Li Wei was dumbfounded. Is there such a thing?Isn't this a scam?
"How can ten thousand gold coins be just copper coins?"

Li Wei asked Zhu Yuanzhang extremely angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, not angry, and said calmly: "It's just copper coins. If it's okay, you should read more. You don't even know this, you are really ignorant!"

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was playing a word game. Generally, when giving rewards, he always talks about how many taels he will be rewarded. When talking about ten thousand gold, it is more vague. Gold just refers to money. If copper coins are used as money, they are copper coins. If silver taels are used as money, they are copper coins. It is silver. In different eras and in various environments, the currency is different, and the meaning of ten thousand gold is also different.

Li Wei's face turned red and he glared at Zhu Yuanzhang with fire in his eyes.

"What, you don't want it? Don't give it back to us." Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and gave him a contemptuous look.

"I want!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said, although the ten strings are not worth mentioning compared with the golden ten thousand liang he expected, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are.

In fact, ten guan is not a small amount of money, which is equivalent to half a year's income of ordinary people. However, now that Li Wei is already a wealthy man who earns a thousand guan a month, this amount of money is certainly not worth mentioning.

"You have worked so hard for so long, and you are only given this little. It's really a shame..." Li Wei muttered quietly as he put the money away.

"You still think it's too little? Didn't we give you a promotion? From the fifth grade to the third grade, that's four consecutive promotions. You should be grateful to our emperor for his great kindness!"

Li Wei rolled his eyes, he didn't care whether he was a senior official or a junior official.

"Oh, by the way, our Ming Dynasty law stipulates that officials of fourth rank and above are not allowed to do business. You know this, right? Stop your business as soon as you go back."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he had just remembered, and then explained: "We didn't mean to target you. This law has been in place for a long time."

Li Wei was confused. He also remembered that there was such a provision in the law. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's selfless look, he wanted to scold his mother.

Are you targeting me intentionally?
