Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

WTF? !
After Liu Bowen heard what Mei Yin said, there was a question mark on his forehead.

He was immediately stunned by Mei Yin's operation.

What's going on?

How come... Mei Yin is suddenly thanking herself here?
What did you teach him?

Why don’t you know? !

Even though Liu Bowen has always been smart, at this time, he was still confused by Mei Yin.

Have no idea what's going on.

Liu Bowen was at a loss, let alone Liu Lian who was watching from the side.

He was even more at a loss.

Totally don't understand what happened.

My father just lit a lamp and said some comforting words, but didn't do anything else!

Why did Mei Yin say such words and do such things?

what is happening?
Why does it look like something special happened quietly?
This thing... isn't right!

"Little friend Mei, what did I...teach you?"

Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and spoke at a loss.

Mei Yin said: "You taught me a lot!

For example, how to make the fire gun fire quickly, or even achieve continuous fire.

You already taught me. "

After hearing this, Liu Bowen seemed even more confused.

This... what exactly is going on?
Taught it yourself?

Why don't you know?

Why don't I know when did I become so powerful?
Regarding firearms, he didn't even know as much as his son Liu Lian.

How could this teach Mei Yin how to fire a firecracker quickly, even in a continuous burst?
Mei Yin said: "Mr. Qingtian, you just taught me.

Thank you Mr. Qingtian! "

As Mei Yin spoke, he walked forward, picked up the flint and fire sickle that Liu Bowen had made, and brought them together.

Knocked twice.

Suddenly there was a flash of fire.

Looking at Liu Bowen, he said excitedly: "Mr. Qingtian! This is the method you gave me!"

Liu Bowen blinked, what... is this?
He just lit the lamp, how come... it became the method he taught him?
"How to make the firecracker fire quickly, even to the level of continuous fire.

I've been thinking about this for a long time and haven't found any good solution.

But when I saw Mr. Qingtian lighting the lamp just now, I suddenly had an idea.

I thought of a better way.

Since you can use fire swords and flints, the sparks produced by the collision ignite the lamp.

Does that mean that things like fire knives and flints can be installed into the fire blunderbuss, and some devices can be used to make the fire knives and flints collide and rub.

Use these sparks to ignite the gunpowder contained in the gun.

Thus completing the launch.

In this case, wouldn't it be much more convenient and faster than lighting a match?

To light a match, soldiers need to always carry a flaming twister or a flaming stick or other things with them.

Not only is it troublesome, but it also has many constraints.

Once it's cloudy and rainy, the gun will basically be useless.

I can't light it for half a day.

With this new type of fire gun, the igniting flint and fire knife can be directly installed into the gun.

Just use a special device to stimulate and ignite it.

Basically, it will be greatly affected by cloudy rain.

Also very convenient.

The key is also very fast. With a snap, the gunpowder in the gun can be ignited.

It is very different from the current firecrackers.

Today’s fire blunderbuss, after lighting the match rope, you have to wait until the match rope burns completely before you can shoot..."

Mei Yin became more and more excited as she talked, and couldn't help but hold Liu Bowen's hand and said: "Mr. Qingtian, thank you for teaching me, Mr. Qingtian!

If it weren't for Mr. Qingtian, he taught me this thing.

No matter how many years I thought about it, I would never have imagined that fire guns could be improved in this way.

Mr. Qingtian, I really belong to you! "

Mei Yin was so excited that she didn't look like she was acting at all.

It really comes from the heart.

After Liu Bowen heard what Mei Yin said, he roughly understood what Mei Yin meant.

I know how he wants to improve the fire gun.

Not to mention, this idea is indeed unexpected.

It makes people feel that they can really give it a try.

Although he doesn't understand what is needed to make a fire gun.

Especially when it came to the firecrackers that Mei Yin mentioned, which could be fired quickly, his eyes darkened.

But it all sounds like ignition.

There is actually no essential difference between using a fire stick to light a fire and using a flint to light a fire.

If you want to light a fire in daily life, Huozhezi is definitely the most convenient.

But according to what Mei Yin said, it seems that after switching to the gun, the fire knife and flint are more convenient.

The benefits are even greater.

After understanding what Mei Yin probably meant.

Instead, he seemed even more confused.

Listening to Mei Yin's words, I felt awkward no matter what.

By the way, shouldn't these words of admiration be said to little friend Mei Yin by myself?

Why now... has it become what Mei Yin told him?
This...where is this!
Why does it feel like Mei Yin robbed her of what she should have said?
Liu Bowen, who has always thought quickly, was confused by Mei Yin this time.

But seeing Mei Yin so happy and excited.

Liu Bowen was also happy in his heart.

After all, from now on, little friend Mei Yin will be his grandson-in-law.

The better he is, the better!

The better you are, the more things you can produce, and the greater your importance will be with His Majesty in the future.

The more powerful backers you find for your son and the others, the more reliable they will be.

Moreover, Liu Bowen himself really wanted to see Ming Dynasty become more powerful.

After all, Daming was able to get to where he is today, and he also put in a lot of effort.

Naturally, I want to see Daming take a further step.

If I think about it carefully, I feel like... I did put some effort into this incident.

Although he didn't even realize it, his ordinary actions allowed Xiaoyou Mei to get important revelations and figure out key issues.

But the inspiration that Mei Xiaoyou got from his actions was real.

Liu Bowen finally admitted this matter.

After all, he really did the act of lighting the lamp.

Of course, I think so in my heart, but I definitely don’t say it with my mouth.

Liu Bowen was full of humility, and these were all his unintentional actions.

The main reason is that Mei Yin has a high level of understanding.

His side is an unintentional one.

Looking at Liu Bowen's reaction, Mei Yin couldn't help but smile?
Become!

This time it's all done!
The origin of the flintlock musket has become.

From now on, you can do it with confidence and boldness.

At that time, even if the uncle Zhu Biao came to ask, he could just blame the matter on Liu Bowen's head.

And you don’t have to worry about any loopholes that may appear in the future.

I am not even afraid of my uncle, and even Lao Zhu, who is behind my uncle, comes to Liu Bowen to question Liu Bowen about these things to confirm whether they are true or false.

After all, these things are real and there is really no falsehood at all.

I was inspired by Liu Bowen and just came up with it.

Liu Bowen himself admitted it.

And not only Liu Bowen, but Liu Bowen's son Liu Lian and his future father-in-law were also present to witness.

Then this matter must not be fake.

This is the case!

In the face of this ironclad fact, I really don't need to worry too much.

Next, just get the flintlock out.

The flintlock gun is definitely a product that transcends the times.

At least it is much higher than the current level of firearms in Ming Dynasty.

In the future, as long as I can get it out and mass-produce it on a large scale.

The combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army can definitely be improved a lot.

Mei Yin also wants to use her own efforts to make Zhu Yuanzhang and the others understand that firearms are the way to go!
Lead Ming to a better road!
Today, the level of Ming's armies can be said to be the pinnacle of the cold weapon era.

It is extremely difficult to continue to improve combat effectiveness.

It is very difficult to maintain a gradual decline.

Next, thermal weapons are really promising.

He must work hard to lead Ming Dynasty in this direction.

As long as the Ming Dynasty has enough powerful ships and cannons, and its force is strong enough.

The cannon has a long range.

Next, Daming will speak forcefully, and Daming's air will become particularly sweet.

It will become a holy place that people from many foreign countries yearn for.

When many people mention the Ming Dynasty, they feel it is extremely sacred and fascinating.

I wish I could kneel down and kiss the land of Ming Dynasty.

Unconsciously, I want to come to Ming Dynasty and feel the light of civilization.

I believe that after I have made a good start and pushed others to go down this road.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has tasted the sweetness, and even many vested interests in Ming Dynasty will continue to work hard on this matter.

Push forward to make this matter develop better.

But now, Mei Yin has only solved one flintlock issue, and the origin of the red cannon. She also needs to find some reasonable support from Liu Bowen.

It would be better to put this blame on Liu Bowen's head...

……

"If we really count the firearms of the Ming Dynasty, they are mainly divided into two types.

One is a firecracker, and the other is an artillery piece.

Since some methods can be used to greatly increase the power of the fire gun, its performance has also improved a lot.

Then can we also think of some ways to greatly improve the power of my Daming artillery? "

After talking for a while about the firecrackers.

Mei Yin looked at Liu Bowen and said aloud, and naturally led him to the artillery.

Although Liu Bowen didn't know much about artillery.

But after so many years of following His Majesty in conquering the world, I know that this artillery is indeed a good thing.

Powerful.

Especially when used to attack a city, its power is even more astonishing.

In the process of Zhu Yuanzhang leading his troops to conquer the world, artillery played a considerable role in it.

Without the help of artillery, it would not be so smooth to attack and compete for many cities.

“The artillery is really good and very powerful.

But in my opinion, there is no need to increase the power of the artillery, the current power is enough.

It can even be said that artillery is no longer needed. "

Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and said this.

Mei Yin was slightly stunned after hearing Liu Bowen's words.

I don’t know how Liu Bowen could say such a thing.

Why are artillery so useless?
Artillery was the mainstream on the battlefield until later generations.

It's simply not too powerful.

Moreover, various classifications have emerged.

It was simply played out.

Liu Bowen said: "When His Majesty attacked the world, artillery did play a great role.

It is particularly easy to use when attacking a city.

But now, the situation is very different from the original situation.

Now, the entire Ming Dynasty has become stable.
Your Majesty has conquered the world.

The Tatars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty also fled from Dadu and fled to Mobei.

Those Tatars themselves are not good at building cities.

After arriving in Mobei, he even rode his horse around.

There are few corresponding cities anymore.

Even if there are some occasional cities, they are not strong cities and can be captured without artillery.

Once these people escape to the grassland, it will be difficult to catch them.

Relying on their herding nature, they wander back and forth, living in no fixed place and moving in and out of nowhere.

Hard to catch.

The artillery is very heavy and heavy, and there are many difficulties in transportation.

Not convenient at all.

Up to now, it can be said that artillery is completely useless in fighting Beiyuan.

Not only was it useless, it even became a burden to the army.

It’s not just about going to the Royal Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Even if we regain the southwest side in the future, artillery will still not be of much use.

The road to the southwest is rugged and the weather is muggy and difficult to travel.

Many places are naturally dangerous.

There is no serious way.

It's very difficult for people to walk, let alone the extremely heavy artillery.

It shouldn't be too difficult to march with these things.

It can even be said that it won’t work at all!
So if this artillery can reach this point today, it is actually the end.

There is no need for further development. "

Liu Bowen expressed his views on artillery.

After hearing what Liu Bowen said, Mei Yin didn't know how to evaluate it for a moment...

Is Liu Bowen a smart person?
There is no doubt about this.

This is a first-class smart man.

From his reputation in history, he has done some things.

It can be seen from Mei Yin's behavior that she even thought about blaming him for things that were difficult to explain. .

There is indeed nothing to say about Liu Bowen's reputation and wisdom.

But at this time, I heard such words from his mouth.

how to say……

It can only be said that this is the limitation of the times.

If you put yourself in this era, you won't know many things in future generations.

If you look at it purely from the perspective of a native Ming Dynasty person, you will also feel that what Liu Bowen said is not unreasonable.

Not only does it make sense, but it also makes special sense.

Now, artillery has no use for Ming Dynasty.

There is no enemy worthy of their artillery bombardment.

Or you can use artillery to blast it. Under such circumstances, naturally, there is no need to develop artillery and use such bulky big guys to do thankless things.

But Mei Yin, who came from later generations, knew very well that artillery must be developed.

It’s impossible not to develop.

Hot weapons are the right way, and cold weapons have limits after all.

As long as the thermal weapon is developed to a certain extent as much as possible.

This will completely solve the problem in the north.

It can make those who are good at fighting become good at singing and dancing.

No matter how great the disaster was, no matter how many cattle and sheep were frozen to death, they would not dare to send troops south to plunder.

Threshing the paddy according to the old tradition.

Pass on the disasters that belong to them to the many Chinese people in the south.

It was also after listening to what Liu Bowen said that Mei Yin realized that there were some things in these.

I really have a long way to go.

Even Liu Bowen, a smart man, treated artillery in this way.

Needless to say about the rest.

If we want to promote the great development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, many people's ideological concepts need to undergo a particularly big change.

Only in this way can we get some things done.

However, he also knew that although some concepts seemed difficult to change.

That's all because they didn't see the new artillery.

Many people are actually very realistic when looking at issues.

After seeing this thing, it is really useful.

Soon there will be an earth-shaking change in mentality regarding this matter.

Of course, the premise is that he can get corresponding and useful artillery.

Let people see the effect.

In this case, many things will be easier to do.

Through Liu Bowen's words, Mei Yin also understood why the Ming Dynasty's artillery technology had stagnated.

The fundamental reason was that Beiyuan retreated too quickly.

The speed at which Lao Zhu conquered the world was too fast.

There are no strongholds left for artillery bombardment.

If this battle can continue for another ten or eight years, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty's artillery will most likely be greatly improved.

Thinking like this, Mei Yin naturally fell into sluggishness again.

Seeing Mei Yin, who didn't say a few words, she fell into deep thought again.

Liu Bowen, Liu Lian and his son couldn't help but look at each other.

How...why is this familiar feeling coming again?
"Little friend Mei?"

Looking at Mei Yin who was sitting there, lost in thought, and gradually becoming more and more excited.

Liu Bowen tried to shout.

Upon hearing Liu Bowen's shout, Mei Yin's body trembled, as if she had woken up from her sleep.

Then he immediately stood up, looked at Liu Bowen with excitement, and bowed respectfully.

He said aloud: "Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, for teaching me!"

After hearing what Mei Yin said, I saw Mei Yin's reaction.

Liu Bowen was stunned again.

This...what's going on? What is this?

Why did Mei Yin want to thank him for teaching him?

I didn’t say anything!
I just told what I knew about the advantages and disadvantages of some artillery, that's all.

Why is it that little friend Mei suddenly does this again? ?

This... what incredible insights did Little Friend Mei get from the words he said?
Figured out some key things?

This is not right either!
What I said were really just ordinary words.

What insights can he draw from it?

Liu Bowen was suddenly confused by Mei Yin's operation again.

Liu Bowen is a well-informed person who has experienced great storms.

I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by Mei Yin's reaction today.

Liu Bowen is like this, let alone Liu Lian beside Liu Bowen.

He was even more confused.

Mei Yin was stunned again by this sudden reaction!

I was shocked by Mei Yin's operation.

"Um...little friend Mei, what did I...teach you?"

Liu Bowen, who had always been confident, looked a little unconfident at this time and looked at Mei Yin and spoke.

"Mr. Qingtian, you taught me this. Didn't you say that this artillery piece is gradually being eliminated and has become useless because it is too bulky?
Since it's too bulky, let's make some small artillery!
Make it light and easy to carry.

If that doesn't work, we can still think of some ways to make the artillery easier to transport.

For example, you can add two wheels or even four wheels to the artillery body.

Make it look like a carriage.

Wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to be dragged by oxen and horses?

Mr. Qingtian, this is really a good idea!
If it hadn't been for what Mr. Qingtian said, I wouldn't have thought of this! "

Mei Yin looked at Liu Bowen with excitement and gratitude.

The excitement and many other emotions in his heart were vividly interpreted.

Make the artillery lighter, or add wheels to some heavy artillery and let ox horses pull it? !
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Liu Bowen's mind seemed to have many lightning flashes.

All of a sudden, it made him think of many things!
The whole person shivered with intelligence!
It seems that a lot of truths were realized at once.

This...this seems to be what Xiaoyou Mei said, it is indeed very possible!

This sounds like a good solution!
The key is to be simple and practical!
The firearm was heavy and difficult to transport, so we made it smaller and lighter.

You can also add wheels to the cannon to make it look like a car!
After adding this kind of wheel to the artillery, it is equivalent to adding legs to the artillery.

That’s a lot of transportation all at once!
This is really a very good idea!
It doesn't sound difficult at all, it feels quite simple.

But before that, why didn’t anyone think about this?
Liu Bowen's mood seemed particularly agitated for a moment.

My grandson-in-law is really extraordinary!
Many of his ideas are different from most people.

Many of them are just ordinary things, but in his opinion, they can often give very different results.

This time, I really found a treasure!

It's not in vain that he shamelessly wanted to marry his granddaughter to Mei Yin before, having disgraced him so much.

Many means were used for this purpose.

It's still worth it.

"Little friend Mei, this...according to what you said, this is really what happened.

This...how did you think of this?

You can think of such things! "

Liu Bowen looked at Mei Yin and said aloud, with exclamation and emotion in his voice.

Mei Yin said: "Thanks to Mr. Qingtian for what you just said.

Only then did I suddenly realize what the problem was.

Figured out what to do!
Mr. Qingtian, you deserve most of the credit for this matter! "

After Liu Bowen heard Mei Yin's words, he suddenly seemed even more confused.

Why is this me again? !
I really didn’t say anything!
But if you follow what Mei Yin said and continue to think about it.

It seems that I have indeed participated in this matter to a certain extent.

Mei Yin said: "Many things seem simple.

There are many things that are like a layer of window paper, which will be broken if you poke it.

It's worthless if it's broken.

But before anyone pierces this layer of window paper.

But many people are racking their brains, even thinking about it, and they can't think of a suitable solution.

Such is the case.

If it weren't for Mr. Qingtian, you would have said those words and made me think of these.

It's really not easy for me to understand this.

I can’t even think of it in my life!

So Mr. Qingtian really deserves the most credit for this matter! "

Mei Yin was particularly sincere and excitedly slapped a series of hats on Liu Bowen.

Liu Bowen was a little confused.

Although he always felt that something was not quite right, when he thought about what Mei Yin said, he felt that there was indeed some truth to it.

I did play a certain role in this...

Thinking in his heart, Liu Bowen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Taking the most credit for greatness does not count.

It can only be done unintentionally and the willows will become shades.

The main thing is that you, little friend Mei, have a high level of understanding. "

Hearing what Liu Bowen said, Mei Yin suddenly felt happy again.

good good!
The artillery matter is gradually coming to an end!

"Mr. Qingtian, this problem of portability can be solved through this method.

But I feel that there are still many things that need to be resolved.

For example, the power of the artillery is still not powerful enough in my opinion.

It would be best if we could find a way to increase the power of the artillery several times.

However, it is not easy to do this.

I have thought about it for a long time, but there is no good way..."

Mei Yin once again started to guide the topic in the direction he wanted.

"Tell me, these are also firearms. Why is the power of this blunderbuss so different from that of artillery?"

"This matter is actually easy to understand. It's just that the gun tube is too thin and too short.

It needs someone to hold it, so there is less gunpowder to load.

Naturally, the power cannot keep up.

As for this artillery, it is completely different.

The barrel of the artillery is extremely long and extremely large.

You can load it with more gunpowder.

The more gunpowder is loaded, the more powerful it will be. "

Liu Bowen said casually after hearing Mei Yin's question.

After hearing these words spoken by Liu Bowen, Mei Yin suddenly showed a pensive expression again.

Then, his expression became extremely excited.

He saluted Liu Bowen solemnly again: "Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, for teaching me!!"

Liu Bowen's whole body felt numb.

No...what's going on? !
Why are you teaching Mei Yin, your grandson-in-law?

In his short time, he actually...had three epiphanies?

This... Even if Liu Bowen teaches in the main hall, he especially wants to see some students with particularly good understanding.

But at this time, Mei Yin was also confused by what he had done.

I just feel extremely confused.

When did you...become so powerful?

Just by saying it casually, can you say something small and mean?

Can Mei Yin, the grandson-in-law, constantly gain new insights?

"Um...where did I teach you again?"

Liu Bowen couldn't help looking at Mei Yin and asked.

When Liu Bowen said these words, he couldn't help but feel a lot of confusion in his heart.

I always feel a little confused.

The excitement on Mei Yin's face did not diminish at all.

"That's why artillery is more powerful than firecrackers, as you said!

You're not saying that this artillery can be much more powerful than a firecracker.

Is it just because the artillery barrel is large and contains a lot of gunpowder? "

Liu Bowen nodded when he heard Mei Yin say this.

"Yes, these are what I said.

So...what did I teach you? "

Mei Yin said: "Because there is enough gunpowder loaded, the power of the artillery becomes so great.

Then if I want to build a more powerful artillery, can I start from this most essential and simple principle?
Make a cannon with a thicker barrel than the current one and be able to load more gunpowder?

Does that mean that more powerful artillery can be built in the future?

Mr. Qingtian! This simple truth, I really didn't think of it before!

Today, Mr. Qingtian, your words woke me up from my dream.

Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading! "

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Liu Bowen didn't know how to express his feelings.

Why is this...things still a little weird?
Those words were indeed spoken by myself.

But this result is completely different from what I thought!
Who would have thought that Mei Yin, the grandson-in-law, has such a high level of understanding!

He can get so many things from just casual conversations with himself that others can't get!

This... While feeling a little confused, Liu Bowen couldn't help but wonder, is he so good at teaching and educating people?

Sure enough, I was teaching the princes and the sons of distinguished families in the main hall.

It’s not that I don’t teach well, it’s just that those people don’t have enough understanding.

Those people only have half the understanding of their own grandson-in-law.

It's definitely not going to be much different.

I don't have to feel the pain of teaching in the main hall.

In an instant, Mei Yin became someone else's child!

This conversation lasted until midnight before it was considered over.

Mei Yin and Princess Ning Guo rested in Chengyi Bofu.

They were meant to leave.

But Liu Bowen had already asked someone to arrange a place to stay in advance.

Seriously speaking, Mei Yin has not yet married his granddaughter, so staying overnight at Liu Bowen's house at this time is really not good.

But Liu Bowen was too lazy to care about this.

Besides, Xiaoyou Mei stayed here with Her Royal Highness Princess Ningguo.

There is a fundamental difference from Mei Xiaoyou staying here by herself.

Besides, Liu Bowen also wanted this to happen.

It would be best if some gossip could reach Xiaoyou Mei's ears.

Only in this way can Mei Yin, an outstanding grandson-in-law, be firmly tied to their family without any accidents!

It can be said that Liu Bowen took great pains to get his granddaughter married to Mei Yin...

……

The next morning, Mei Yin and Princess Ningguo left Liu Bowen's house.

Mei Yin is full of harvest and satisfied.

Become!

This time it’s done!
After going back, you can start getting the flintlock gun and the red cannon!

……

[Does the host choose to imitate the crown prince’s concubine Lu? 】

Listening to the sound on the simulator, Zhu Yuanzhang chose yes without hesitation!
