Chapter 1066 Sand Table
"Battle report, this battle report..."

The emperor opened the emergency report in front of his 'King of Asia' and 'King of the Grassland', and then showed an indescribable smirk, unable to even speak clearly.

After looking at the two lines, King Lu and the little Mongolian prince, who glanced at the left and right from time to time, snickered, and then continued to laugh until they could not close their mouths together before saying, "Hehehe, the battle report is a bit fake."

After finishing speaking, he gave instructions to his trusted eunuch, held the hands of King Lu and Buta Shili, turned his head and ran towards the military.

"Wang An made a sand table with a flat grassland, mountains in the west corner, and a river flowing from east to west in the south. He took wooden chariot formations, Beiyang infantry, Mongolian cavalry, and frontier cavalry figurines."

Eunuchs who are idle can be regarded as having work to do.

These things are commonly used by emperors. In the Forbidden City of this era, you can find almost all soldier figurines in the world, such as infantry, cannons, vehicles, cavalry, craftsmen, boats, all kinds of armor and weapons. , pottery, iron, copper, tin, silver, gold, all inclusive.

In the past few years, the emperor used them to rehearse the battle reports stacked up on six bookshelves by the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, simulating all the land and water battles that took place in the world.

Even after the advent of Huode Xingjun, the steamship that was only a conjecture in the steam bureau has been used by the emperor in the "Daming Sea" where he dug the Yinjinshui River in the southeast corner of the Forbidden City. Those completely reproduced Ming army warships The small boat is equipped with a Type-C Huode Xingjun in the hull, and only one person can control and steer it. It travels slowly on the lake, and has made great contributions to the emperor's simulated naval battle.

It is they that make the depressive teenager who tends to be autistic grow into the emperor who loves life the most in the Forbidden City.

A simple sand table for simulating the battlefield was quickly prepared by the eunuch and placed on the floor in front of the Wanli ship. While studying the battle report, the emperor ordered the eunuch to set up the camp: "Put a small cart formation in Henan, yes, a large cart formation in Hebei, Put the cavalry inside, Tainingwei is in the northeast, and there are not enough Mongolian cavalry figurines? Then put some Europa cavalry figurines, the ones with spears. The battle report says they are rushing to the camp... Where are the shovels? Yes, yes, trench digging come out."

Buta Shili was almost ignorant watching the emperor sitting on the deck of the big ship that was put into the house and ordering the eunuch to make something called a 'sand table'. The sail behind him fluttered, and on it was written Zhang Yang's four characters in silk: The world is unified.

In every corner of the room there are exquisite utensils and armors, and there are swords and swords on the four dark wooden frames against the wall, and exquisite bronze plaques are nailed to each floor. Dengzhou Qi's saber in the first year of Wanli', "Qingyuan Chen's Japanese blunderbuss in the first year of Longqing" written on the body in the 46th year of Jiajing, and the more exquisite blunderbuss body and short knife put together "Beiyang made the world peaceful blunderbuss". The equipment is placed together to form a wall of the military room.

There are several pieces of armor on the opposite side of the weapon, which look similar to the owner of the weapon. There is a full set of plate armor made by the Portuguese in Goa, which is called "Dashuai Chen Portuguese Panjia" but Chen Mu has never worn it, and there is also a full set of plate armor made in Beiyang. There are wooden figures in military uniforms wearing bright breastplates and red tasseled hats, and there are also armors belonging to Ma Fang with obvious Ming and Mongolian border lineages. There are banners next to the armors, and the names of the weapons are written on the banners.

The wall facing the gate of the military is not so pleasing to the eye. The tiger crouching gun, the Fran machine gun, the general gun and the general Zhenshuo gun are lined up. There was a pair of magical machine arrows, and all kinds of shells were piled up next to the cannon, which made the little prince tremble in his heart.

Behind the emperor, the four masts stand straight up to the beam of the palace. The lower sails of the sails are sandwiched with books that the emperor reads every day. On the thickest mast in the middle, the plain brocade sails are flamboyantly displayed indoors, with the inscription "Unification of the world".

The furnishings of this side hall attracted Butasli's attention far more than the sand table placed on the ground.

At this moment, he saw the emperor lowered his head and pressed a few times on the railing of the ship's deck next to his buttocks, then raised his head and asked him, "What do you want to eat, gold silk tiger's eye cake, jade peach osmanthus stuffing? Let's order something less for cushioning." , don’t grab something to eat like Zhu Yichun, there is a happy event today to save some stomach, and there will be a palace banquet tonight.”

After all, Emperor Wanli realized that Butasili's eyes were fixed on the rocket car behind him, so he jumped off the boat and patted the little Mongolian prince on the shoulder and said, "Don't look, it's called the Arrow of Shenwei Machine, Wanli The end of the six years has been remodeled, I want to make a real one, and no one else will let it in the palace, so this is not necessary... When you return to Mongolia in a few years, I will release this for you."

"Look at the sand table, this is interesting." Emperor Wanli finished ordering the takeaway from the dessert room, and the sand table was almost ready. He hugged Buta and bowed down beside the five-foot sand table, and asked, "Tainingwei and Fuyu Wei, you know, right? My land."

"The teacher said it was because I didn't take care of it when I was in trouble. In fact, it was poor management, and I took over the Kalkawan household. My father and grandparents were busy and couldn't take care of it, but I was very wise and worked hard to manage it - I have to take it back. "

As he said that, Wanli pulled out a blunderbuss stick from the weapon rack and pointed it to one side of the map, saying: "This is the old Hamlin River outside the Great Wall. You can only find this river on the map. Half an inch up is Daning, and down an inch. Half an inch is Songting Pass. I don't know what it is called. There may be a name for grassland on the grassland. Anyway, it is there. General Qi of mine traveled more than two hundred miles to an unknown place. General Hu under his command led a chariot, The [-]-odd troops of the Bu Er Battalion were blocked by the Chaohua's [-]-odd cavalry."

Sweeping the stick over King Lu's head again, he turned back to the sand table, pointed to the pottery yurt and cavalry warriors in the northeast, and said, "Just them, more than 1 riders, this fried flower wants to lie to me, saying that he is carrying cattle, sheep and horses." Those who came to pay tribute to me, hmph, do you think I believe you?"

"Small tricks, in fact, frying flowers is waiting for reinforcements. The reinforcements are from Tainingwei. They are called Huada. The Khalkha tribe likes flowers very much. Four thousand cavalry came again, and they also brought cannons—give me a cannon The figurines, General Zhenshuo? Forget it, don’t take it, just use it.”

Wanli turned his head and gave a six to Buta with an exaggerated expression: "Six cannons, I brought them here."

"But my cavalry is here. Look, the cavalry is here."

On the sand table, four cavalry figurines were pushed by Wang An with a wooden pole, and moved across the small bridge over the river until they entered the cart camp.

Wanli waved his hand here, Wang An hurried to the east again, and continued to push the Mongolian cavalry: "Wrong, put the Ouluoyi cavalry in front, the rushing cavalry is the first to get on, and the bow cavalry is behind."

"Four teams of loose cavalry raided in the north of the camp, attracting guns and guns, but our soldiers were well-trained and knocked them out; continue, look, there are five thousand cavalry again, yes, each of these cavalry figurines is a thousand , Massive pressure, General Hu's troops..." Wanli happily explained to Buta with the battle report, and suddenly frowned: "Who wrote the battle report, what is it? , and more than a thousand blunderbusses, it is an exaggeration for a thousand cannons to be fired at once, and a thousand blunderbusses to be fired at once."

But immediately afterwards, Wanli threw the battle report on the deck of the ship, and slowly removed the figurines from the sand table: "One, two, three, four..."

In Butasli's eyes, the emperor's elder brother's smile gradually changed.

"Then they all died. The corpses were 780, and the head merit was [-]." In the unreasonable fear that came from unknown reasons, he heard the emperor say these words, and saw the emperor smiling at him He raised his eyebrows nervously: "Shi Li, do you know how much I lost?"

While the little prince was slowly shaking his head ignorantly, the emperor stretched out his sleeves with both hands up to the sky, and made a gesture with his right hand: "It's a soldier, none of the heavenly army was killed, and two of them were injured."

"One of the wounded was Lou Shijie, the killer leader of the battalion in front of the step, who detonated a landmine and was smashed by gravel; the two were recruited by Luo Feng, a surprise soldier in the rear of the car, who got off the car and sprained his feet."

Speaking of this, the emperor couldn't hold back his smile any longer, he raised his head and laughed loudly: "The battle report said that the swelling is high!"
