Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 457 I have guns, which can push everything

Coming out of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Zhen took the lead and walked at the front, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials.

Everyone is curious, what treasure will His Majesty take them to see?
So much so that for this reason, a businessman should be appointed as an official, even the minister of the Ministry of Industry, one of the six ministries?
In fact, the Shen family is quite famous among Jiangnan aristocratic families, even though the Shen family is just a businessman.

But it can't be said that the Jiangnan area was originally Zhang Shicheng's territory, and Shen Wansan of the Shen family had defected to Zhang Shicheng early, and Zhang Shicheng relied heavily on him.

When they were still under Zhang Shicheng, many aristocratic families received funding and support from the Shen family.

But one code leads to another. If merchants were to become officials in the imperial court, how would it be done?
Once it becomes popular in the future, won't businessmen also be able to compete with aristocratic families for power and profit?

This is absolutely unacceptable.

So many people couldn't sit still and had to protest to the end.

In the crowd, Shen Rong had a solemn expression and followed cautiously to the back of the queue.

The other officials walked in front of him without squinting or even looking at him.

And here are a row of several wooden boxes.

"Not bad," Zhu Zhen praised with satisfaction. It seems that the problem of the barrel and rifling has finally been solved. The bullet fired has almost no deviation. At least it can be guaranteed that no major damage will occur within three hundred meters. error.

Zhu then pulled the bolt to eject the cartridge case, then pulled the bolt again to load the gun, and then pulled the trigger again.

"Mr. Shen, why do you have such a sad look on your face?" Yan Shitai said in a joking tone: "Now that His Majesty is supporting you, you still don't know His Majesty's character? He is a man of merit."

Zhu Zhen brought the gun in front of him and took a deep breath.

And a lot of things have to be done secretly.

The reason why there are so many and colorful expression changes is actually very simple.

But he knew that it was the smell of killing.

Zhu Li opened a long wooden box and took out a long gun with a wooden handle from a pile of hay.

Look at those courtiers again, haha.

As for now, Zhu Zhen had people prepare many targets in front of Wuying Palace in advance, the kind used for archery aiming practice.

There was another gunshot, and the bullet hit the target for the second time.

However, since in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Wenhua Hall was used to hold such activities, so in the Chongzhen period, Wuying Hall was also used as a place to celebrate the Queen's Qianqiu (birthday) and the concubine's birthday.

This is completely different from the iron marbles used in today's firecrackers. These are real bullets. Compared with these bullets, what are those marbles?

Including this time, the 100,000 guns and the millions of rounds of ammunition were all produced by Yongchang Mansion after they were developed by Smoden.

As for the distance beyond 300 meters to 500 meters, there is no guarantee.

I was confused at first because I didn't understand what this was. It looked somewhat similar to a fire gun, but it seemed completely different.

Just an ordinary bolt-action rifle that has yet to be named.

For example, drawings and other things were sent from Simodian to Yongchang Mansion, and then handed over to Yan Shitai to be responsible for mass production of those Hongyi cannons.

Many officials walking in front looked at each other.

If others don't know, don't they know that he doesn't know that Shen Rong is a businessman, but he is definitely not a profiteer who is greedy for wealth.

Not everyone can trust just this transportation line.

Then Zhu Chu fired one after another. Amidst the gunfire, the expressions of the civil and military officials slowly changed.

This was developed by Wu Yong and Long Qu of Simodian. It does not belong to the 98 K of the Mauser series, nor does it belong to the 38 Da Gai.

Zhu Ming never took the initiative to speak, but they were not fools after all. From the beginning of confusion, to disdain, until they gradually became dignified, and even shocked.

Obviously this is a new gun, there is no smell at all.

Therefore, Shen Rong has made great contributions since he followed Zhu Zhen.

These two newly arrived bosses of the six movies are so arrogant. Are we not human beings when we co-author it?
At this time, everyone had arrived in front of the Wuying Hall in Wulou.

Zhu Li opened a square wooden box next to him and saw that what was kept dry by weeds and piled inside was a pile of new bullets made of brass casings.

There was only a "bang" sound, and a puff of white smoke came out from the bolt and muzzle of the gun, while the target in the distance made a soft "bang" sound. The target was actually penetrated, and the bullets continued to hit the target. It flew away until it disappeared into the far wall.

To be honest, if Shen Rong had not been there to share and relieve Zhu's worries, many things would not have been able to be solved. Especially during the time when Zhu Zhen left Yunnan, the entire Yunnan would have been down and it would not have been able to operate at all.

Li Shuran also smiled, stroking his beard and said: "Besides, although the treasures Mr. Shen brought back were not from you, from the beginning to the end, you were running around for His Majesty, busy with everything. And our development in Yunnan cannot be achieved without you. On the contrary, these ministers in the DPRK and the Central Government are fighting for power, showing off their tricks, making troubles, and being arrogant. They have neither the ability to solve problems for the king nor the ability to carry people. No wonder when Your Majesty was still Your Highness, Just call them dogs.”

However, Zhu Zhen knew that the lethality of this gun was by no means comparable to that of cold weapons.

Even the good old Li Shuran was furious, which is evident.

Only a limited number of people are a few steps behind.

It’s not that I can’t trust others, but that in many cases, no one except Shen Rong can connect the whole of Yunnan and coordinate the coordination between east and west.

Wuying Hall was originally a place where the emperor summoned ministers to discuss affairs outside of morning and afternoon dynasties.

He is a little sick and always feels like he can smell something good.

Zhu Zhen became excited, reached out to grab a handful of bullets, took out one of them, then pulled the bolt of the gun and put it neatly into it, then pushed the bolt back to the locked position, and then raised the gun to aim at a target in front of him. , pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The attack distance is also very different.

This gun is very long, even as long as the cold weapon spears used today.

But when Zhu Chu fired the first shot, everyone understood that it was not just a firecracker. They thought it was something else, so they felt disdainful. It was not like they had never seen firecrackers before.

But as Zhu Chu immediately fired the second shot, the third shot, and even more than ten or twenty shots in a short period of time, everyone began to feel something was different.

Fireguns do not have such an efficient filling speed. Normally, even an excellent firegunner will need more than a minute, or even three minutes, to fire again. It will take a long time to clean the gunpowder from the barrel. and refilled.

As a result, Zhu Chu could fire the second shot just by pulling the bolt?

really?
"Your Majesty, may I ask what kind of weapon this is?" someone asked excitedly.

Zhu Chu turned around and saw that it was his father-in-law Xu Da and Tang He.

The two old generals came over excitedly and snatched the gun from Zhu Zhen's hand.

Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes, but for the sake of his harem, he was too lazy to argue with them.

"Two father-in-laws, don't worry, I will teach you, this is a gun, but it is not a long gun, but a firearm," Zhu Ming explained kindly.

"You'd better speak human language," Tang Hechuihuo glared. Did I ask you what this is called? You are just talking about something on point. How do you play it?

Zhu Zhen smiled, so innocently.

So Zhu Chu did not hesitate, took out a gun from the long box, and personally demonstrated it to the second prince and the officials.

Xu Da and Tang He were deep in thought, and then snatched the second gun from Zhu Chu's hand. Then the two men stood side by side, imitating Zhu Chu's previous behavior, pulling the bolt to load the gun, and then pulling the trigger.

'Bang bang'.

Accompanied by two gunshots, two bullets passed through the target and sank directly into the far wall.

The second male blinked awkwardly.

This thing is not a bow and arrow, but they missed the target?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also came over anxiously. He was about to take a gun and try it, but he saw Zhu Ming winking at him.

Zhu Ming coughed lightly, turned to look at Baiguan, and said slowly: "Do you need me to say anything else?"

"Your Majesty, is this thing actually a weapon invented by Shen Rong, the Shen family's uncle?" someone asked excitedly.

Zhu Zheng was about to speak. Shen Rong quickly explained: "Common people dare not pretend to claim such achievements. To be honest, ministers, this object is a bolt-action rifle. The concept was proposed by His Majesty, and then secretly developed by Wu Yong and Long Qu of Simodian. Production is finally invented. The villain is just helping to run errands.”

Zhu Ming wanted to say, in fact, I also used ready-made ones, I didn’t invent them at all.

But when Zhu Zhen noticed the admiring eyes of the civil and military officials, he couldn't say what he wanted to explain.

Forget it, just be shameless.

So Zhu Ming shamelessly acquiesced.

For a moment, everyone was greatly impressed. Even a gentleman like Liu Sanwu was not stingy. He didn't even care about flattery and flattered him.

"But Mr. Shen doesn't need to be humble. During this period, you have silently made a lot of contributions. There is still hard work without credit. Besides, regardless of other things, although I asked the cotton to be grown, it can be made into cotton fabrics. It was you who completed it."

"Although the glass, sugar, soap, soap, perfume, candles and a bunch of other things are all my idea, it is you who finally completed it."

"So this minister of the Ministry of Industry must be you."

Everyone looked at Zhu Zhen with a strange expression.

Your Majesty, if you want to boast about yourself, can you not bring others with you?

Shen Rong also wiped away cold sweat. Now that he thought about it, wasn't he just a spokesperson?

Everything he did was actually completing the tasks assigned by Zhu Xi.

In fact, it has nothing to do with him.

Even Liu Sanwu couldn't help but said: "In this case, why should Shen Rong be the minister of the Ministry of Works?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do I want to work part-time as the minister of the Ministry of Labor? Can you please speak some human words, Dandan Weng. If I can do this by myself, what else do I need you to do? I can do it by myself. All positions in the six ministries and civil and military officials have been taken away," Zhu Zhen immediately cursed angrily.

The officials were scolded to death, but they were unable to refute.

So far, Zhu Chu's military power has been obvious to all and there is no doubt about it.

Even those who criticize him have to admit that in terms of force alone, no one has been able to match him since ancient times.

What? Soldier Immortal Han Xin? Killing God Bai Qi?
Don't make trouble, Zhu Chu's grassland war last year alone had a total of more than two million people. Zhu Chu still used less to fight more, and still used his own power to beat two camps at the same time.

At that time, Zhu Chu did not take advantage of the weather, timing or advantage, or even any advantage in human relations. Even the Hongyi cannon had no deterrent effect at that time. He relied entirely on his personal charm and personal force to take the lead and lead the entire army to fight. A bloody battle, fought without fear of life and death.

It was a tough battle, and the enemy generals were not bad either.

Again, in history, Timur almost destroyed both the Golden Horde and the Ottoman Empire.

And Mahamu once caused a lot of trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and it was Mahamu's grandson who launched the famous Tumubao Revolution.

There was no water in that battle, but Zhu Zhen crushed it with absolute strength.

Since force cannot be used for evil, what about Zhu Zhen's political achievements?

From the many policies he promulgated after he ascended the throne, they may seem chaotic at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, they are actually great benevolence for long-term peace and stability.

Moreover, Zhu Ming didn't just do whatever he wanted when his head was hot. He was not Wang Mang, who was in a hurry to reform and offended everyone in the world.

Zhu Zhen was not in a hurry to offend the kings and the nobles of the Hongwu Dynasty, and he did not even touch the aristocratic families.

Zhu Chu's political skills were well-controlled, and the nobility demotion system meant that nobility after him would no longer be a hidden danger.

There are also things that benefit the country and the people, which makes Zhu Zhen extremely famous.

It can be said that it is a martial art, all of which are proficient and perfect.

If Zhu Zhen really knows the magic of thousands of incarnations, he may really dare to dismiss all civil and military officials in the dynasty.

"And I'm not afraid to tell you that the Ministry of Works will play an extremely important role and status in the future. I'm afraid the entire country will have to cooperate with the Ministry of Works. This position must be held by Shen Rong. The main thing is that he understands what I say and what I order. He will execute orders without hesitation.”

"And you? If I say a word, you can contradict me a hundred times. What policies I want to implement, you don't just do it for me right away, but you try every possible means to stop me. I'm in the Golden Palace every day. I don’t do anything, just live my life with you guys in my arms.”

Zhu Ming even scolded him directly.

The officials felt deeply helpless.

They are loyal ministers and need advice. Isn't this normal?
Liu Sanwu even shook his head and said: "In ancient times, there is an allusion that a prime minister can punt a boat. Could it be that His Majesty can't tolerate us ministers saying a few words? What's more, are you not as good as Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who can't even tolerate a Wei Zheng?"

The others were secretly worried about Liu Sanwu. His Majesty just called them bitches when he had nothing to do. Why are you going to provoke them?
Zhu Zhen laughed angrily: "You always have something to say, but if you talk too much, your life will be wasted. I still have time to chat with you now, but what about when the Northeast and Southwest battlefields are defeated? What happens next? I have a longer-term strategic plan. In addition, Tibet, the Western Regions, Mongolia, and the Northeast and Southeast Asia are still vacant, and no one is there to take charge. After all, people are military commanders. And let me put it bluntly, it is absolutely impossible to confer foreign officials as kings or princes with different surnames. "

"There is also domestic technology that needs to be developed. After all, the small-scale farmer economy has its limits, and many resources have not yet been developed. It is really a waste."

"It's just a steam engine, it's just a generator, it's just a water and wind system. Wait until I give you a hand to bring about the industrialization era."

There are too many things to do, including the opening of schools in Yunnan, Tibet, the Western Regions, Mongolia and other places in the future, and Chinese education. Even now, he has not had time to promote Mandarin, which is the popular science of Ming Dynasty Mandarin.

Nowadays, local dialects are spoken in every place. Not to mention across provinces, there are two neighboring villages. There are often language barriers.

Not to mention the obstacles between the two nations.

He has to do all this.

I don’t know how tiring it is to be an emperor.

"Hey, when will my fourteen eunuchs grow up and take charge of their own business? Then send a few to each place to deal with it, and let them have fun being local little kings. Even if they make a mess, I will still wipe their butts. ”

"Especially you bitches, when will you let me have some peace of mind?" Zhu Zhen finally cursed again.

Baiguan rolled his eyes and said to himself that this is Wuying Palace, not Quanwuxing. Are you completely letting go?
In the end, even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't stand it any longer, and finally stood up and said: "Okay, Chu'er, they are your ministers, not your dogs. Just curse them a few times."

Your Majesty, are you trying to comfort me?

The officials are about to cry. Are you two singing double recitals?
I know that one of them is a good person and the other is a bad person, but how can there be such a bad person?

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is the Hongwu Emperor. Do you want him to coax the officials? What's going on? Do you want to see my forty-meter sword? You all have paved the way for my son.

Zhu Ming also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said like a donkey down the slope: "It's settled, Shen Rong will be the minister of the Ministry of Industry. If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, just stand in front and I will shoot him to death."

Who dares to say one more word?

Then Zhu Zhen turned his head and said to Zhu Yuanzhang and his two father-in-laws: "I will ask people to prepare a few more guns. From now on, I will play with this thing. But the firepower of this thing is very strong, and one shot can kill a person." Horse. Be careful."

"Is this thing still mass-produced?" Xu Da stared at Zhu Xi in disbelief.

"Of course," Zhu Ming said proudly: "This time I asked Yunnan to send 100,000 guns and millions of bullets. When the time comes, I will send them to my fourth brother and seventeenth brother. Each of them will have 50,000 guns. It only takes three rounds of volleys, even if Li Chenggui and the Jurchen tribe have hundreds of thousands of troops, they all have to kneel down and sing conquest for me. "

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

One hundred thousand guns? The kind that can fire at least five times in a minute, and its power is far greater than that of a fire gun.

If compared, one hundred thousand guns are worth five million firecrackers.

Even the lethality is many times higher.

There was really no one talking now.

"But Chu'er, if someone with ulterior motives gets such a powerful weapon, would it be dangerous, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor after all, and at this time he also had to consider the issue of the stability of the imperial power.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Zhu Zhen was unstoppable before was that all his brothers combined were no match for him.

It's not because Zhu Chun has strong soldiers and strong horses.

But now, by handing such a powerful weapon to his brother, wouldn't it give Zhu Di the confidence to rebel?
Zhu Zhen smiled and reminded: "Dad, have you forgotten my big pineapple?"

With his current resources, even if he cannot equip his 50,000 cronies with one weapon, he can still buy hundreds or thousands of them. Moreover, based on the national population, the tax resources will naturally increase every month. That's his confidence.

He still has his own trump card.

"What's more, our brothers' goal now is the world, the stars and the sea. Fighting in the nest? Let the future generations have fun."
