Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 147 Shocking the crowd
  This guard station was originally managed by Muchun.

Now that Muchun is gone, He Fu is temporarily in charge. After Mu Sheng came back, he also brought the imperial edict to succeed Xiping Marquis and take over the guard post. He came to review the soldiers today and took Zhu Xuan with him. Naturally, He Fu was also there.

Zhu Xuan led a thousand people from the Shenji Battalion to the guardhouse.

"Greetings to Your Highness!"

He Fu already knew Zhu Xuan's identity and said politely.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "General He, no need to be polite, I just came to take a look, you go and do your business, don't worry about me."

Mu Sheng first gathered the soldiers from the guard station, a total of 30,000 people, on the school grounds to conduct a review, inspect weapons, supplies, and other supplies.

"In three days, we will go to Guangnan Mansion first, get in touch with the commander of the capital in Guangxi, and then decide on the plan to attack Annan."

Mu Sheng said and asked again: "Can Xiao Huangsun's big ship really help us capture Annan?"

Zhu Xuan assured: "It must be possible. With the participation of our Yingtian ship, it will be easier to capture Annan. In addition, we have also brought some new weapons, and Li Niu has moved them up."

"Yes!"

Li Niu responded.

He arranged for five soldiers to bring a squatting tiger cannon and place it in front of them.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, is this an artillery piece?"

He Fu looked at it for a moment and asked curiously.

Zhu Xuan nodded and said: "This is called the Crouching Tiger Cannon. We also have a stronger Shenwei Cannon, but that one is too heavy and cannot be brought inland. It can only be used on ships. The Crouching Tiger Cannon is most suitable for mountain warfare. Let's demonstrate it first. Use your power and go over there!"

He pointed to a small forest next to the guardhouse.

"Go give it a try!"

Mu Sheng nodded.

They relocated and moved their things into the woods.

Zhu Xuan asked Li Niu to arrange for someone to do it.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion first stuffed the gunpowder into it, and then loaded it with shells, stones, etc., compacting it all so that only a powder thread was exposed.

Zhu Xuan said again: "Light it up!"

Li Niu lit the fire himself, and a roaring sound sounded.

The recoil of the Tiger Crouching Cannon on the ground shook the ground, and the fire flickered from the muzzle, ejecting shells, stones and other objects, and shot them down on the trunks of the woods ahead.

Snapped!
  A small tree as thick as a bowl was broken by the shell on the spot.

The remaining stones, like shotguns and flowers scattered by a goddess, fell on other tree trunks. The stones were deeply embedded in them, and the trees were still shaken by the blow.

When everything calmed down, both Mu Sheng and He Fu opened their eyes wide.

They walked to the front and looked at the traces of cannonballs and the stones embedded in the tree trunks.

The range of artillery strikes is very large, and the power is also very powerful!
  "His Highness's artillery is too powerful!"

He Fu said in shock.

Mu Sheng asked curiously: "How does the Shenwei cannon on the Yingtian ship compare with the Crouching Tiger Cannon?"

Zhu Xuan said: "The Shenwei Cannon is ten times more powerful than the Tiger Crouching Cannon, but the Tiger Crouching Cannon is suitable for mountain warfare. The Shenwei Cannon cannot do that, and it is very heavy. It can only be used on the ship. If it is placed under the ship, It’s almost impossible to move it.”

Zhu Xuan was also racking his brains when it came to moving to the ship.

I made more than a dozen of those pulleys and calculated them many times before I finally put them on the boat.

In this era when there are no cranes and no cranes can be made, it is a huge project to carry such a heavy Shenwei cannon onto the ship.

"ten times!"

He Fu didn't quite believe it.

The Crouching Tiger Cannon is already much stronger than the existing artillery of the Ming Dynasty. The Divine Power Cannon is still ten times more powerful than the Crouching Tiger Cannon. It is a bit hard to imagine how powerful it can be. It always feels impossible to exist. Mu Sheng believed it.

When he was in Yingtian, he had seen Zhu Xuan often create miracles, and asked: "Can we have a try on those rifles of the little emperor?"

He had only heard of the rifle, but had not seen its power.

"sure!"

Zhu Xuan agreed again.

They return to the school grounds.

Zhu Xuan asked people to prepare the shield, and even put the armor on the shield to test the gun, and then the effect of the rifle shocked them again.

"Excuse me, Your Highness, do you have any spare rifles?"

He Fu asked with burning eyes.

The firearms in their army are simply rubbish compared to rifles and tiger squat cannons.

"The extra ones are on board."

Zhu Xuan said: "When we go to war, I will take you to the ship to get weapons. You can also see how powerful the Shenwei Cannon is then."

They think it's right, and they know that so many things are manufactured in Zhu Xuan's factory. If that factory is really that powerful and the industry is transferred to Annan, they will definitely support it and even send troops to do it.

"I want to fight with you, is that okay?"

Zhu Xuan looked at them expectantly.

According to Mu Sheng's idea, he actually didn't want to take Zhu Xuan into battle. He mainly had to consider safety issues. As for military merit, he could just give it to Zhu Xuan after the battle.

Having seen the power of weapons, looking at Zhu Xuan, he was protected by a group of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion armed with rifles, as well as Jinyi guards, so there shouldn't be a big safety problem.

The most important thing is that they want to get the rifle brought by Zhu Xuan. If they want to board the Yingtian ship, they have to go to Qinzhou with Zhu Xuan.

"it is good!"

Mu Sheng thought about it again and again and finally agreed.

He still kept the masters given by Zhu Yuanzhang with him, and would arrange them into Zhu Xuan's army later for enhanced protection.

With Mu Sheng's consent, Zhu Xuan asked the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion to also station themselves in the guard camp. The review was almost completed here, and they went back separately.

Mu Sheng returned to his house, wrote a letter, and sent it to the health center in Guangxi in advance to let them prepare.

Zhu Xuan ran to find Mu Yuanjun first. He was going to officially go into battle soon. Before leaving, of course, he wanted to accompany his future daughter-in-law.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Xuan came to the camp, and a thousand Shenji Camp soldiers and Jin Yiwei were following him.

Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for the masters to join the Jinyi Guards. After the army was almost assembled, they set off. The first stop was Guangnan Mansion.

"Currently, the Annan people are very restless."

"Not long after the death of the Marquis of Xiping last year, Hu Jiyou sent people to invade north and occupied Mengman, Luzhou and other places in Siming Mansion. He occupied a total of fifty-nine villages in our Ming Dynasty."

"On our side in Yunnan, Hu Jiyou also instigated a rebellion against Dao Gan and Meng, allowing them to create unrest in northern Myanmar and invade the land of the Ming Dynasty."

"Our plan is to capture Annan first and then find a way to deal with Dao Gan Meng."

On the way, He Fu explained to Zhu Xuan what the current situation was like between the two countries.

Zhu Xuan also had an impression of Dao Ganmeng.

It seemed that He Fu was killed in the end.

However, the development of historical trajectory up to now has been almost changed by him. The Ming Dynasty's battle against Annan has also been advanced. According to the original trajectory, it is probably the Jianwen Dynasty now, and the Ming Dynasty's conquest of Annan took place in the Yongle Dynasty.
