King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 175 Zhu Di is so ambitious!
When Zhu Tan heard this, he didn't react yet.

Zhu Di's hands were already on Zhu Tan's musket.

The faces of Lu Wangwei all around were confused.

Although the Zhu Di in front of him was dressed in vassal attire and looked very noble, he also kept calling Zhu Tan the tenth brother and called himself brother.

But judging from Zhu Di's posture, it felt like he was trying to grab Zhu Tan's musket.

Is this bandit-like demeanor really a feudal king?

Isn't it true that His Highness admitted his mistake?
When these Lu Wangwei thought of this, they became nervous instantly, and even put their hands on their waists, ready to draw their swords and slash Zhu Di at any time.

Zhu Di glanced at everyone, smiled slightly at Zhu Tan and said: "You are quite good guards! They are loyal and have a strong aura!"

talking.

Zhu Di smiled again and said: "It's just not fierce enough, I guess I haven't seen blood, right? This time it's just right!
Go to Mobei and chop down more Tatars, and the murderous spirit in your body will be developed.

If all these dozens of people survive by then, they will be dozens of heroes. "

While talking.

Zhu Di continued to look at Zhu Tan pitifully.

My eyes are full of words, I want to play, love to play, give it to my fourth brother quickly!
Zhu Tan smiled bitterly.

"Fourth brother likes it, so what if I give you one? Just take it."

Zhu Tan hasn't finished speaking yet.

On the other side, Zhu Di had already hugged the musket, his face full of joy.

"Where did you get this rare item? Tsk tsk! What a good thing. Look at the smooth appearance and black body of the gun. It feels that the structure is much more complicated than ordinary fire guns!

It's more complicated than the two fire guns I gave you in Yingtian!
How to use this thing? "

Zhu Di fiddled with it for a while and suddenly became confused.

I originally thought that this fire gun was very simple to use, but now that I looked more closely, it was not that simple.

Later, Zhu Di couldn't help but ask: "Where's the gunpowder? Where's the lead bullet? Where's the fire bomb? There's no way to shoot without these things."

Zhu Tan gave a bitter smile and said: "Fourth brother, you are going to pass too fast, I haven't had time to tell you how to use it!"

soon.

In Zhu Di's eyes full of surprise.

The sergeant had already taken out a paper-cased bullet and stuffed it into the barrel along the muzzle of the gun.

Zhu Di was stunned and asked: "This is lead bullet, what about gunpowder?"

Zhu Tan laughed and said: "I call this a bullet! The gunpowder is already loaded in the bullet, and it can be fired as soon as it is ignited!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he became excited instantly!
"Bullet! Okay! Okay! Isn't this thing much faster to load? Ordinary fire punches require gunpowder and lead bullets to be stuffed in all at once. It takes a long time and is troublesome. You have to use a stick to poke it repeatedly. Compact it so that it can be ignited and shot out!
This bullet just needs to be put in along the barrel! This is so convenient! "

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Fourth brother, I call this a musket! It is actually not the same as a fire blunderbuss. They are two completely different things."

Hear this.

Zhu Di nodded and said excitedly: "Okay! Let's call it Musketeer!"

soon.

Zhu Di picked up this heavy musket and aimed it at Zhu Tan.

Zhu Tan was shocked!

Your uncle Zhu Laosi!

There are bullets in this gun. If you pull the trigger, won't I be done with it?

Crash-!
On the other side, all King Lu's guards were frightened by the changes in front of them and raised their guns one after another!
Seeing everyone pointing guns at him, Zhu Di suddenly felt unhappy.

"Why are you pointing the gun at me! Could I still use the gun to hit my own brother? I didn't use a fire to light it, so what are you afraid of? You bastard!"

Zhu Tan smiled bitterly and said: "Fourth brother, if you have something to say, please tell me. This gun can be ignited without breaking the fire."

talking.

Zhu Tan carefully avoided the muzzle of the gun and said to Zhu Di: "Did you see the curved part of this gun? There is a device called the trigger. You only need to pull the trigger with your index finger to shoot out the bullet!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he was stunned and said: "Can gunpowder be ignited without fire?"

Zhu Tan patiently explained: "Did you see the top of the gun? There is a device there with flint inside! As long as the trigger is pulled, the flint will hit the metal fire door behind the gun body, and the fire door will be knocked out. A spark, a spark can ignite the gunpowder in the bullet!"

Hear this.

Zhu Di was stunned.

"This is unheard of, what an exquisite setting!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was also frightened for a while.

If according to what the tenth brother said just now, wouldn't the gun he just held in his hand be able to be activated at any time?
Then if he had accidentally touched the trigger just now, wouldn't it mean that his tenth brother would have been shot to death by him? This actually avenged the fact that I was almost shot to death by my tenth brother just now.
But, what is this thing called? When the time comes when my father is so angry, he might even have to pay for it with his life, right?

Think of this.

Zhu Di hurriedly turned the gun and pointed it in the opposite direction to Zhu Tan.

Subsequently.

Zhu Di was stunned again.

He asked Zhu Tan: "Why is there such a big wooden sign erected so far away?"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "This is used to test the power of the musket! It's only 300 steps. If it's a little closer, it can actually hit it no matter how far it is, but this is the largest yard."

Zhu Di's eyes widened again.

He said in a trembling voice: "Three to three hundred steps? You can still hit it from such a distance, or even farther? What kind of fire gun are you talking about? How can it be so powerful!"

Zhu Tan smiled and said, "Fourth brother, just give it a try and you will know."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said: "If this fire cannon! If the musket can hit such a distance, wouldn't it mean that the entire battlefield situation will change drastically, and even future marches and battles will undergo great changes!"

Zhu Tan looked at Zhu Di with admiration on his face.

This Zhu Laosi is indeed a war madman.

He is worthy of being an epoch-making figure who later established the Shenji Camp.

After just a brief understanding of the performance of this musket, he was able to realize so keenly that this was a major revolutionary weapon that could change the future war situation!

Zhu Tan decided to hide his clumsiness at this time.

He smiled and said: "I don't know if there will be any changes, but this musket is really easy to use!"

Zhu Di smiled and said, "I'll give it a try!"

As he spoke, he picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.

boom--!
After a gunshot.

Zhu Tan said to the people around him: "Let them carry the plank over!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he also looked at the board expectantly!

300 steps!
If they can really hit such a distance and their power is not small, the Musketeers will become a force that dominates the battlefield in the future!
The effective attack distance of the archers is about 200 steps.

If the musket you use can reach an attack distance of 300 steps, even if it is inaccurate, the fire coverage on the battlefield will be enough for those prairie cavalry to drink a pot.

No, in this case, they can be completely crushed!

After all, training as a musketeer cost nothing.

And how long does it take to train a prairie cavalry?
When you are three years old, you will be tied to a saddle and practice, and when you are five or six years old, you will be able to ride and shoot!
It took more than ten years to grow into a qualified prairie cavalry!

But when the prairie cavalry encountered a spear formation, how could they fight?
soon.

The wooden board was delivered to Zhu Di and Zhu Tan.

When the two saw the two bullet holes in front of them, they immediately became excited!
"300 steps! No problem! Tenth brother! This musket is really extraordinary!"

Zhu Di said excitedly. “Originally, this thing could only be regarded as a supplement to the bow and arrow, but now it can fully function on its own!

No! This is even more powerful than bows and arrows."

Zhu Di knew it.

Many bows and crossbows are very weak in the face of heavy armor.

But the fire gun can break through armor in one go!

And since the musket in front of me can hit such a distance, it is estimated that its armor-breaking ability will only be stronger than that of a fire blunderbuss!

Zhu Tan was also smiling.

Wanhu is still reliable.

He is worthy of being the first person in aviation in the world who will go down in history.
This scientific research ability is not guaranteed!
He is only responsible for coming up with ideas, but he can really make them happen!
All of a sudden.

As the inventor of modern firearms, Wanhu should also be remembered in history.
Zhu Tan couldn't help but think.

Zhu Di picked up his gun.

Somewhat unsatisfied, he said: "Where are the bullets? Give me another try!"

soon.

There was a sergeant from King Lu's guard walking over with bullets.

The bullet was inserted along the barrel of the gun.

Zhu Di frowned and said, "The barrel of the gun hasn't been cleaned yet!"

Zhu Tan smiled slightly after hearing this.

Zhu Di really loves firearms.

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he often played with firecrackers and other things.

After all, the structure of the firecracker is, to put it bluntly, a small artillery piece.

There are no major innovations or changes in the structure, it is just a reduction of the size of the cannon.

In this way, before firing the firecracker, powdered gunpowder, lead bullets, iron bullets and the like will be poured into the firecracker. After the launch, a large amount of impurities will remain. If these things are not cleaned out, the firecracker will be destroyed. The gun will soon be blocked.

but.

Paper-cased bullets do not have this problem.

The bullet is filled with granular gunpowder, which burns very fully without leaving any residue. Moreover, the bullet only has one warhead, which is gone when it is fired. The paper shell remaining in the gun body will be quickly burned by the high temperature. Likewise, Nothing will be left behind.

So the cleaning step is eliminated.

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Fourth brother, what you are holding is not a blunderbuss but a musket. This musket does not need to be cleaned and loaded with bullets. You can just load it directly!"

Hear this.

Zhu Di was shocked again!

“In this case, wouldn’t it mean that after shooting one shot, you can immediately load the bullet and shoot again!
This attack speed is much faster than that of a bow and arrow! "

Zhu Tan nodded and said with a smile: "Exactly!"

talking.

Zhu Tan smiled at Zhu Di and said, "Fourth brother, you might as well try the whole process! Shoot, reload, and shoot again!"

Zhu Di also smiled when he heard this.

"That's a good feeling!"

In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to shoot more bullets? It would be so enjoyable.
soon.

Zhu Di picked up the musket.

boom--!
After the musket fire.

Lu Wangwei beside him handed Zhu Di a bullet, and Zhu Di loaded it.

boom--!
Another shot!
The whole process is extremely fast, although it is still not as smooth and fast as the most familiar and powerful archer opening a bow and setting an arrow, but for a musketeer.

It’s completely enough!
Even more powerful than ordinary archers!
It can be said.

Today's musketeers are basically equivalent to upper-middle-class archers.

The musketeers can break armor and consume very little physical strength, and their training cost is far lower than that of archers.

In comparison, archers don't even have any meaning in existence!
What's more, Zhu Di also noticed the news in the Di newspaper some time ago.

Wuding Hou Guo Ying reported a new method of warfare to the court!
That is the three-stage musket attack tactic!

In this way, as long as the musketeers stand in line, they can attack continuously. This is the most feared killing formation for the cavalry!
Suddenly, Zhu Di was stunned.

If I remember correctly, it was clearly written in the Di newspaper.

Guo Ying said that these three attacks were invented by Zhu Tan!
Looking at the smiling Zhu Tan and such a sharp new musket in front of him, Zhu Di suddenly felt an unfathomable feeling when he looked at Zhu Tan.

Lao Shi
An unparalleled national scholar!
He is a good hand at making money in civil affairs, and it seems that he is not bad at fighting!
One day, if Lao Shi takes charge of the government and controls the army himself, wouldn't the Ming Dynasty be invincible? Who can defeat such a powerful alliance?
Ugh.
But in the world, how can there be a time when a feudal king is completely in charge of the army?

If his father-in-law Xu Da hadn't been sent back to Yingtian because of gangrene on his back, he wouldn't have been in charge of the military affairs of Peiping and the surrounding 17 troops.

Only by ascending to that supreme position can we fight happily.
Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh.

Speaking of which, my father-in-law, Taishan, is here again this time, and he may soon be able to take back his military power.

He will continue to be in charge of Peiping.

Of course, my father had already said that my father-in-law's body had just recovered not long after all, and he was no longer suitable for the expedition.

Otherwise, maybe the head coach of the Northern Expedition this time will be his father-in-law.

I used to think that Monk Daoyan giving him a white hat was wishful thinking and a trick.

Now, for the first time, Zhu Di felt the desire to seize power!

Not because he wants to covet the pleasure brought by the throne, but because only the supreme power can allow him to realize his ideal ambition!
However.
The prince is his eldest brother, the most consolidated prince in history.

He is tolerant and virtuous. Not only is he deeply loved among his courtiers, but he is also the eldest son of Empress Xiaocigao. He is also the most respected and beloved elder brother among his brothers. He is even willing to be loyal to him throughout his life.

How could this throne have anything to do with me?

However, if you don’t get into this position
How can you realize your ideals and ambitions?

Maybe after the eldest brother ascends the throne, he will start to cut down the vassal!

It’s not like Zhu Di has never read the book.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Western Jin Dynasty, which dynasty and generation could not eliminate vassals?
My father had his own reasons for doing this, but there is no certainty that his eldest brother will succeed to the throne in the future.

When the time comes, I may not be able to do anything but be a happy prince who eats and waits for death.
The words of being a wolf and living in a coven, the achievements of achievements, and the power of the world are just a dream.

While thinking about it.

Zhu Di was a little irritable.

Suddenly he said to the sergeant beside him: "Well, where are the bullets? Let me try again!"

soon.

Another round loaded.

boom--!
Zhu Di pulled the trigger and shot out.

the other side.

At the door, several people suddenly walked out and were startled by Zhu Di's musket!

The leader is none other than Wei Guogong Xu Da!
Zhu Di was holding the gun and was dumbfounded.

"Father-in-law Tarzan!"
