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

Chapter 187 King Lu violated taboos, and the emperor had no family ties!

On the martial arts field.

At this time, the five thousand Lu Wangwei stood in the field with solemn faces.

soon.

Sanbailu Wangwei came out first, and Guo Ying directed everyone to stand in a three-stage combo formation.

In front of them, 300 steps away, were dozens of huge wooden boards.

Everyone stood on the martial arts stage and watched this scene curiously.

"Is this a fire gun they took? Tsk! The iron they used looks good! It's jet black! Is it painted?"

"I saw this array in the newspaper sent by His Majesty some time ago! What is this three-stage combo? I heard that it can make the fire cannon array shoot continuously! It's really powerful!"

"Haha. I heard that the initiator was His Royal Highness King Lu! It was Guo Ying who suggested it! I want to see if it is really as powerful as they say!"

"Hiss—! I'm afraid the plank is placed 300 steps away! This is much farther than the ordinary firecrackers."

"Maybe, it's just a mystery. Haha! His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, is always using tricks to create mystery!"

soon.

Stand with the array.

Guo Ying raised one hand high.

"Everyone is ready!"

Crash-!
All Lu Wangwei raised their muskets.

Guo Ying slashed down with one hand!
"put!"

The words fell.

The muskets in the hands of Lu Wangwei in the first row were pointed uniformly at the wooden board 300 steps away.

Bang bang bang bang—!
The first row of muskets fired in unison, and the roar resounded throughout the martial arts arena. Bullets shot into the wooden board like a heavy rain, instantly ridding it with holes. After the shooting was completed, the soldiers in the first row quickly and orderly retreated to the position of the third row to reload their ammunition.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Wangwei, who was originally standing in the second row, came forward and they were ready. Another order was given, and the second round of shooting began. The roar of muskets and the sound of bullets intertwined, and the wooden planks became even more tattered under the second round of attacks.

When the second row of soldiers finished shooting, they quickly retreated and were replaced by soldiers from the third row. At this time, the soldiers in the first row had completed reloading ammunition and were ready to replace the next batch of soldiers who had finished shooting.

Bang bang bang bang—!
Bang bang bang bang—!
Under Guo Ying's command, the three-stage combo attack continued in an endless cycle, and the wooden board in front of him was quickly beaten to pieces!

And Lu Wangwei’s shooting storm has not stopped yet!
Fourth round, fifth round, sixth round!
After fifteen rounds, Guo Ying gave the order to stop shooting.

At this time, the wooden board in front of Lu Wangwei had been completely smashed!
As Lu Wangwei's 300 musketeers closed their guns.

The whole place was silent.

Then there was a boom, and the discussion was buzzing!
"The power of this musket is incredible!"

"The distance of 300 steps is almost as fast as the most elite archers! And can the archers achieve such a rate of fire?"

"What army in the world can resist this continuous attack speed? If those prairie barbarians encountered such musketeers, wouldn't they be dead with just one charge?"

"Hiss—! Awesome! Really awesome!"

Not only the ministers, but even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had heard about the power of this musket in advance, felt extremely shocked!
Originally, he felt that the situation written by Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde in the memorial was already extremely exaggerated.

It is said that this kind of musket is the key to victory on the battlefield in the future.

It is said that the emergence of this kind of musket will completely change the general trend of the world.

It is even said that with this kind of musket, Jiubian will no longer need many soldiers to defend it in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang was only slightly surprised at the time, wondering why today's military generals were as bad as civil servants and often used such exaggerated language.

However, he did not expect that when he saw the power of this kind of musket with his own eyes, he discovered that Xu Da and the others had underestimated the power of this kind of musket!

He could even imagine how powerless the prairie cavalry would be when faced with such a musket array!
A full three hundred steps away, there was a hail of bullets.

No matter how many cavalrymen come, they will probably fail!
More importantly, the cost of this kind of musketeer is obviously extremely low!

All you need is a musket and an adult man to form a fighting force in a very short time!
And how many cavalry can there be on the grassland?
Not to mention that this kind of musketeers can harvest the prairie cavalry extremely crazily. Even if they exchange them with the Mongols at a one-for-one ratio, this kind of loss is unbearable for them!
What made Zhu Yuanzhang even more imaginative was that with such musketeers, is it necessary for the so-called swords, guns, clubs, axes, hooks, crossbows and other weapons to exist?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at Zhu Tan and asked: "Is this kind of thing accurate at a distance of three hundred steps?"

Zhu Tan shook his head and said: "The distance of three hundred steps is a bit far. This bullet cannot hit particularly accurately, and it certainly cannot hit where you point it like a crossbow.

Of course, the crossbow is not very good. After all, it will be affected by the wind, so the accuracy is about the same as that of the crossbow.

From a long distance, this musket just takes advantage! You still have to form a dense formation to hit the enemy. "

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked: "You mean, the gun is faster when you are far away, but what if you are close?"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "We are close, the gun is fast and accurate! Within a hundred steps, it should be more stable and accurate than a crossbow."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment when he heard this.

Then he looked at Zhu Tan and asked: "Is this thing made by your firearms workshop? Don't ask me how we know your firearms workshop! We have Jin Yiwei!"

Zhu Tan laughed dryly and said, "Back to my father, that's right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and asked again: "Except for our Ming Dynasty, no one else knows how to make muskets."

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "That's natural!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

For a while.

He seemed to have thought of that scene.

The Ming Dynasty's musketeers fought in all directions, and the enemies could not get close to them at all, they were felled piece by piece like grass being cut.
And in their hands, they still held swords and spears
this.
This is a weapon that is enough to put Ming Dynasty ahead of an era!

Zhu Yuanzhang's lips trembled, and he suddenly couldn't help but said: "I am so happy!"

The words fell.

If the civil and military officials around him felt something, they all bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Just when everyone was excited, Zhu Tan suddenly chuckled.

"Father, there is more to come!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

besides?

Zhu Yuanzhang was also stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Anything else? Is it more powerful than this musket?"

Zhu Tan nodded and said, "More powerful!"

The words fell.

the other side.

Guo Ying has ordered Lu Wangwei to pull up the artillery.

There are two types of artillery in front of you.

The first type of artillery is short and compact, with a shorter barrel and an upward graceful arc, which seems to tell the viewer that they are designed to be fired at high angles. The gun body shines with a copper-green light in the sun, which is both simple and simple, and also exudes a ferocious aura.

This was developed by Wanhu according to Zhu Tan's request. It is similar to the mortar of later generations. It is light, easy to carry and powerful.

Its shooting trajectory is curved, which can launch the cannonball at a high angle, and then the cannonball draws a high arc in the air, and finally falls at a nearly vertical angle.

The length of this gun is about three feet, the inner diameter of the barrel is 5 inches, and its longest range is up to steps.

The other type of artillery appears to be more stout. The barrel is straight and long, fully six feet long. The inner diameter of the barrel is also 5 inches. The appearance is more slender and it is designed for straight-line shooting. This is a flat-fire cannon with a long range and much greater power than the previous one. It can directly bombard enemy positions.

First, after Lu Wangwei positioned these small mortar-like cannons, he began to load the shells. Every movement was smooth and precise.

The mortar shells drew a magnificent arc in the air. The moment the shells landed, a huge fireball erupted on the ground. Flames and thick smoke rose into the sky, and the sound was earth-shattering. The shells formed huge craters about one meter wide and half a meter deep where they landed, and the surrounding soil, vegetation and trees were instantly destroyed!

the other side.

The flat-firing artillery also followed Guo Ying's order.

The cannon was fired and the seal was fired.

With a "boom", it was launched.

When the flat-fire cannon shell hit the target, time seemed to stand still at that moment, and then the explosion shook the sky and the earth. The target was destroyed instantly, and fragments flew everywhere, as if it was directly crushed by an invisible force!

This time, in order to demonstrate the power of artillery, Lu Wangwei arranged for 30 mortars and 5 flat-fire cannons to fire.

And the shooting process was carried out in an orderly manner.

The target position instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire!
The deep pits that appeared on the ground and the huge smoke and dust that rose up shocked everyone present and stunned them!
In front of my eyes, there was overwhelming smoke, and in my ears, there was a deafening explosion!
The entire martial arts arena was in a mess by this terrifying force that had never appeared before!
After a while. After all, Guo Ying felt sorry for Cannonball and drank.

"stop!"

With his order, Lu Wangwei's artillery sweep officially ended.

This sudden shock was indeed much stronger than that of the Musketeers just now.

The whole place was so silent that only the sound of the wind was left.

From time to time, one or two people could be heard breathing heavily.

It’s so shocking, so terrifying!

How could there be such a terrifying killer weapon in this world?
Only now did everyone suddenly realize that what King Lu said was not bragging.

If on the battlefield, Lan Yu's personal guards encountered such a terrifying Lu Wangwei.

Isn't it just a one-sided massacre?
First, the artillery blasted the ground wildly, blasting the blue jade guards to pieces. It was estimated that not even one out of ten people could survive such terrifying firepower.

Then the Musketeers took action.

As His Royal Highness King Lu said, a gun is faster than 300 paces.

The gun is fast and accurate within 300 paces.

The swords and guns in the hands of the blue jade guards simply cannot last a round.

If replaced by the firecrackers currently installed by the Ming army, the range would be more than 200 steps shorter than that of the musketeers!
How is this played?
What's more, the power is obviously too different.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

I even have some doubts about life.

This kind of murderous weapon that spans the ages brings an unparalleled shock to everyone.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was holding the handrail tightly with both hands at this time, and his finger joints were pale from the scratches.

The expression on his face was extremely shocked.

He stared at Zhu Tan.

"If I had known, your firearms workshop would be researching all these horrible things, I would have let the Jinyi Guards in to monitor them no matter what! Your 5000 King Lu Guards are enough to sweep the world!"

After the words fell, Zhu Tan panicked a little.

That’s it, let’s pretend to be big!
In fact, there are many big weapons behind Zhu Tan that have not been exposed.

These artillery pieces are only the two most basic types. Although they are powerful, they are completely different from the mortars and rocket launchers that will be studied later.

Of course, those two things require relatively high industrial development and will take some time to produce.

however.

To Zhu Tan, they looked like firearms from the mid-to-early 19th century, which was enough to scare Old Zhu.

He even said such heart-wrenching remarks!
Five thousand King Lu's guards are enough to sweep the world!

A not-so-good feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Tan's heart.

In many time-travel novels, the protagonist often displays various powerful weapons and epoch-making firearms, and then the emperor will give him all kinds of rewards and praises.

But standing here, Zhu Tan truly felt that this was not the case at all!
The old Zhu in front of him, whether it was his eyes, tone or words, all revealed a fear of himself!
In fact, this is the real royal family!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who values ​​family ties the most, would choose imperial power without hesitation when faced with family ties and imperial power!

As a pure power animal, this is his normal reaction.

Even though Zhu Tan is Lao Zhu's biological son, Lao Zhu is still wary of Zhu Tan!
What about a biological son?

Li Shimin is still Li Yuan’s biological son!

Li Heng is also Li Longji’s son!

How is the result?

My son gained the upper hand, and I ended up in a miserable state in my later years!

As for the rumors about Yang Guang's father-killing and the sound of Zhu Ying's axe, they have never stopped for thousands of years.

most of the time.

The only one the emperor can trust is himself!
at this time.

The atmosphere in the field became extremely tense for a time!
Even as Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, there was a hint of determination in his eyes!
Old Ten is not guilty!

But now, Lao Zhu feels that he is a threat to himself, so he is unpardonable!
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Tan's father and son.

Even the many princes and ministers present noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere!

Xu Da frowned slightly, and then was suddenly startled.

Eyes wide open!

not good!

Your Majesty, you are on guard against His Royal Highness King Lu!
It’s no wonder when you think about it!
Lu Wangwei's strength is really terrifying!
If you are just bragging that you can kill Lan Yu's personal guards without getting hurt, then the emperor will not deal with you anyway.

But if this is true, the consequences are completely different!

Even if you are not guilty of any crime, I am afraid that the next situation will be very difficult. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are walking on thin ice!
At this time, not only Xu Da, but also others quickly figured this out!
His expressions became tense.

I don’t know how the trend of the court will change next!
It seems that His Majesty is going to take action against His Royal Highness King Lu.

But it's no wonder, King Zhu Tan of Lu did really amazing things. First he made countless wealth, and now he even contributes a lot of money to the court every year!

Later, he reformed the imperial examinations and cleared the land. Even among the new generation of officials in the imperial court today, a large number of officials are from his disciples.

All of them are students from Hengzhong Academy!
This kind of influence is not comparable to that of ordinary people!
But now, this Zhutan is even more like a saint, and the Lu Wangwei who has been trained can be so terrifying. Wait a minute, although there are only 5000 people, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, it is enough to sweep the world!

Regarding the things Zhu Tan has done, fortunately he is a vassal king and the emperor's biological son. If he were a minister, no matter who he was, he would be dead!

King Qin Zhu Xi also figured out all this and suddenly showed a smile.

A look of resentment flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly laughed and said: "Old Shi, this Lu Wangwei is so awesome! These five thousand people are simply invincible in the world!
In my opinion, not to mention the 200,000 troops in Peiping, but also the millions of troops from all over the world, I am afraid they will fall apart under the attack of such a terrifying firearm!
Ha ha
I really admire you brother! "

The words fell.

Everyone’s eyelids twitched fiercely!

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang's words were heartbreaking enough, and he actually said that Zhu Tan's Lu Wangwei could sweep the world.

Now Zhu Xi simply made it clear!
If Zhu Tan is willing, he can easily defeat all the armies of the Ming Dynasty. Even changing the emperor and the court will be a piece of cake!
Heart-breaking!

It’s so heartbreaking!
For a moment, everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Tan and his son.

Some people are even speculating that the court will be in turmoil for a period of time.
There are many people who have good relations with Zhu Tan!
According to His Majesty's temper, will he be implicated?
Tang He, the Duke of Xin, was his father-in-law. Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, was saved by him. Under his guidance, his son Xu Zengshou became the number one scholar in Hongwu for eighteen years!

Even among these people, Lan Yu is included!

Lan Yu's son is also a disciple of Zhu Tan.
Furthermore, many people have second thoughts.
When Hengzhong Academy was first established, many sons of distinguished military generals were admitted!
In the end, these people all did well in the exams, and they have even become officials in the court now!
Is it possible that Zhu Tan was thinking about when he would act disobediently?

everything.
Although it is just a guess, as long as the purpose is added, all the guesses will seem so reasonable!

King Yan Zhu Di suddenly frowned and said: "Second brother! I have always respected you! But I think what you said today is too much!
The soldiers of the tenth brother are also soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. How can they attack our army of the Ming Dynasty?
Aren't you talking nonsense? "

Hearing this, Zhu Xi snorted coldly and said: "I'm just making a hypothesis! Who said that Lao Shi is really going to lead troops to attack the imperial court?
I am afraid that people will tell me if I have something wrong in my heart! snort! "

When Zhu Di heard this, he said with an angry look on his face: "Second brother! Tenth brother doesn't have this intention, why do you want to frame him for having this profession!"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "That's enough! What nonsense are you talking about?"

Just when the atmosphere in the venue was extremely depressing.

suddenly.

A burst of shouts from King Lu Wei came from the martial arts arena.

"I swear to be loyal to you to the death and protect my family and country!"

The sound is loud and neat!
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he heard Lu Wangwei's shouts.

Then he looked at Zhu Tan and asked, "What is your Lu Wangwei shouting?"
