Daming: the Bear Child of the Yongle Family

Seeing the heated discussions among the soldiers, those words were even more outrageous. The three generals saw helplessness in each other's eyes. If they knew the true size of the tiger squatting gun, they would be greatly disappointed.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoyu brought Mu Yao and others to the open field, and Sun Hairong immediately greeted them.

"His Royal Highness has so many soldiers here, it will inevitably have some influence, it is better to disperse the crowd first, and it is not too late for us to demonstrate the tiger squatting gun."

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth, using words as euphemistically as possible. It can be said that he was very careful to maintain Zhu Gaoyu's face and reputation.

Zhu Gaoyu gave him a strange look, "No need to dismiss, it's just right to demonstrate in front of everyone, so that they can get familiar with the operation."

"But—" Qian Guangji didn't expect Zhu Gaoyu to be so rigid, and hesitated to tell Zhu Gaoyu what the soldiers had talked about before.

"But what?"

Qian Guangji and others hesitated, unable to hold a word for a long time, not knowing how to say it.

At this moment, Shen Lian stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the things have already been brought here."

Even if they wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Many soldiers waited eagerly. They thought that the cannon would be pushed by several people to make a grand appearance. However, after craned their necks for a long time, they did not see anything pushed over.

"Where's the gun? Didn't General Shen say that he brought something here, why didn't I see it?"

They searched everywhere, but did not find the shadow of the suspected cannon, and suddenly someone said in surprise: "It should be that."

I saw Shen Lian carrying something on his back, wrapped in red cloth.

A soldier said with a smile: "How could a cannon be so small."

In the next second, he was slapped in the face, Shen Lian unwrapped the package, and the contents were exposed in front of everyone.

I saw the dark gun body glowing strangely under the sunlight, just like it was made of black jade. The muzzle was small, about the size of two adult fists. A few refined messages.

It was completely different from the giant cannon that they imagined, which was as high as half a person, and which required several adults to move.

Everyone was stunned, and it took a long time to recover.

"This is the huge and powerful tiger squat gun? Who is the rumor!"

It has to be said that rumors kill people, which is completely different from what they imagined, and the majestic cannon has become as small and exquisite as it is now, which has shrunk more than a star.

"Is this thing a cannon? Are you kidding me? It's almost like a toy. I'm afraid that if I sit down, I will be able to sit on it."

"Just how lethal this thing can be, it feels a little unreliable no matter how you look at it."

The soldiers shook their heads one after another. Perhaps it was because the previous utensils such as the wolves and anti-Japanese swords brought them too much expectation, so that they thought that the firearms made by Zhu Gaoyu were also incomparably exquisite.

This is subtle now, but——the expressions of everyone suddenly became indescribable.

"...Your Highness is still here."

I don't know who reminded me that the soldiers realized Zhu Gaoyu's existence, and their expressions couldn't help being a little embarrassed. They were talking so hot before that they ignored the main lord.

Presumably, His Highness must be very sad to hear these remarks.

Someone tried to honor Zhu Gaoyu, "His Royal Highness actually didn't mean that. Although this tiger squat gun is small, it may not be as powerful as a cannon in lethality, but it is extremely convenient to transport."

From this point of view, lightness is the only advantage of this tiger squat gun, but its fatal shortcoming is that it is not lethal, and it does not have much advantage on the battlefield.

After all, everyone else is a heavy-duty firearm. You are like playing a family with such a gun. Maybe you can't even penetrate other people's defenses.

Everyone has a preconceived notion. In their impression, any small (Qian Dezhao) object is not very lethal, let alone a heavy weapon such as artillery, otherwise the tonnage of the artillery of the past dynasties will not heal. aggravated.

Everyone said comfortably, "Don't be discouraged, Your Highness, firearms are not like cold weapons after all. It's not enough to have a whimsy. It has to be combined with reality. Your first time making a firearm is already very good."

In fact, this is not the first time Zhu Gaoyu has made it. You must know that he still has a new Fran cannon that he has yet to come up with. If he is not worried that they will not accept it, first try the water with a tiger squat cannon, so that they will be mentally prepared for arrest.

Seeing how these soldiers were comforting him, Zhu Gaoyu's lips curled slightly. He wondered if they would say such words after seeing the power of the tiger squat gun.

His expression was calm, and he didn't justify anything for himself. This face fell into the eyes of everyone, and it became evidence of his incomparable loss. He couldn't help but regret his previous words. .

Chapter 229

Zhu Gaoyu nodded to Shen Lian and said, "Let General Shen demonstrate the tiger squat gun for everyone."

Shen Lian motioned for everyone to retreat to the back, but everyone disapproved and took a few steps back symbolically, and some even whispered: "What power can such a small cannon have."

It's strange to say that Shen Lian has always been the most protective of Zhu Gaoyu, and he can't tolerate others saying that he is not good. Now that he heard everyone's comments, let alone explanations, he didn't even have an argument, and he was in a trance and didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, Shen Lian had already seen the power of the Tiger Squat Cannon, but it was still a semi-finished product. Although the power was a little small, it did not affect its use.

But even if it is a semi-finished product, its power should not be underestimated. Thinking of the scene at that time, Shen Lian is still full of emotion. Seeing everyone's disapproving expressions, his eyes are rather faintly happy.

These soldiers are still too young.

Seeing that Shen Lian actually aimed the tiger squat gun at the huge rock not far away, everyone was a little speechless, and the soldier reminded: "General Shen, why don't you choose a smaller one."

No one thought that Shen Lian would have such a tiger. His Royal Highness said that the tiger crouching cannon is powerful, and he really believed that it would be embarrassing if he didn't shoot down and not even a single gravel fell.

"It's better to aim here." The soldiers chose painstakingly, and their eyes fell on a stone that was more than half a person high. Although they felt that the stone of the face would not be broken, they could not find it in the field. small.

Zhu Gaoyu spoke from the side, "You don't need to change it, that's fine."

"If it can smash this mountain, I will perform a rock-swallowing trick for everyone on the spot."

Although everyone complained like this, they had already made up their minds in their hearts. No matter how powerful the Tiger Squat Cannon was, they would give Zhu Gaoyu some face, and they could not dampen the enthusiasm of His Highness.

However, when Shen Lian loaded the shells in, there was no response after a long time.

"No, it's impossible to fire a gun after a long time."

"I originally thought that a small power is a hard injury, but I didn't expect it to be too naive. This is simply a squib, and it can't be used."

The soldiers were dumbfounded. Originally, they had already prepared drafts in their stomachs, and they swallowed all the words when they got to their mouths, but that was fine, so there was no need to praise them with conscience.

Shen Lian took out the cannonball and squeezed it carefully. A layer of ash covered the palm of his hand, and it felt a little damp. He was speechless: "Who kept the cannonball, how did it get wet?"

Immediately someone brought out a new shell.

But after what happened just now, everyone no longer had any expectations, and they were all watching the show. They all lowered their heads and talked in a low voice.

"Although His Royal Highness Prince Liang is powerful, I will say how can one person be omnipotent."

"That's right, it doesn't matter if you are unique in training your troops and horses. There is such an exquisite formation. Even cold weapons can be made, and firearms can be made like this. After all, no one is perfect."

Just when everyone was talking eagerly, they only heard a "bang"!

For a moment, as if the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, countless dust was raised, and they couldn't keep their eyes open.

"What happened, did the earth dragon turn over!"

Because of the sudden incident and the violent shaking of the ground, many soldiers fell to the ground without notice and looked very embarrassed.

"Look at..."

When everyone saw the scene in front of them clearly, the surprised mouths could not be closed, and the pupils shrank, obviously greatly shocked, "How can this happen."

I saw a huge mountain not far away. At this time, a big mouth was missing, as if it was bitten by some fierce beast. There were gravel scattered around, and the dust was scattered, falling like snowflakes.

Shen Lian still maintained his previous posture, the tiger squatting gun was in front of him, and it was aimed at him eagerly. It is self-evident what caused such a culprit.

Some people thought it was a hallucination, so they couldn't help rubbing their eyes, and subconsciously said: "Isn't it time to change the gun temporarily."

The companion next to him rolled his eyes, "In such a short period of time, you can try another one, you are not a fairy, and in front of so many of us, I will suddenly change for you, and then disappear again. ?"

Even if they couldn't believe it, they had to admit that the huge mountain was bombarded like this, who would dare to believe it.

In their eyes, the delicate and small tiger squat gun was really like a tiger coming down the mountain. The tiger roared, majestic and majestic.

"The one who said before that he could sit on a rotten tiger and squat, I will ask you if you dare to sit now."

"Where would he dare to sit, let alone his butt, I'm afraid everyone will be blown up."

"And the person who is going to perform the unique skill of swallowing stones, why don't you talk now, everyone is waiting."

Recalling what some soldiers had joked about before, everyone was joking, but the person involved was tight-lipped, and faced with their teasing and narrow-mindedness, his face turned red and embarrassed.

"We didn't say it casually, why are you taking it seriously?"

Li Boguang poked Qian Guangji's elbow, "Well, I will say that His Highness will not disappoint you, you still don't believe it."

Qian Guangji has been beaten in the face and has no temper, "His Royal Highness is worthy of being Your Highness, it really is a bull!"

The whole barracks was as lively as the Chinese New Year. The soldiers were surrounded by the tiger squat guns, and they were almost at a loss.

"With the Tiger Crouching Cannon, the group of Japanese pirates will definitely finish their game, and they will just shoot at the crowd, and they will not be sent back to their hometowns."

"Now I'll see how they shoot black guns. They have firearms, and we have them, even more powerful and lighter."

Compared with this group of soldiers, Qian Guangji and others have a long-term vision, and they are even more excited about the appearance of the tiger squat gun. Once such a new type of firearm is put into the war, it is possible to change the entire war situation!

After all, the powerful ones have always been cumbersome, have difficulties in transportation, and are easy to be targeted by the enemy, so it is difficult to exert their power.

But the tiger squat gun is different, it perfectly combines the advantages of the two, even better.

Qian Guangji couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "What do you think His Highness's head is, how can he be able to do anything."

Zhu Gaoyu was so wise that he was close to demons, and he took out such a powerful firearm. This time, they had a strong premonition that it would not be difficult to completely eradicate the Japanese pirates. .

Chapter 230

Zhu Gaoyu's intensive training, in order to ensure secrecy, the spies of the previous Japanese pirates were all found, but they were not eliminated, but they were not allowed to touch the core.

The civilians and soldiers were deeply affected by the turmoil of the Japanese pirates. Many people's relatives and friends were killed by the Japanese pirates. They even lost their homes and lost everything. They can be said to hate the Japanese pirates deeply. reveal the news.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoyu's side can be said to be like an iron barrel, and the unity is incredible.

In contrast, the leaders of several major forces on the Japanese pirates side also received news that Zhu Gaoyu wanted to clear them up, and for this reason, they gathered together to discuss important matters.

In the center of the hall was a tiger's skin, and the tiger's head was lifelike, as if it still maintained the ferocity and ferocity of its life.

I saw that most of them were dressed in Dongying's clothes, but there was one person wearing a blue robe, a hair crown, tied with a hair band of the same color, and stood silently in the corner next to Matsuura Takashin-.

Compared to other people's vicious spirits and a bloody aura all over his body, he has the temperament of a scholar. He lowered his head and never opened his mouth. It seemed out of tune with this place.

"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty sent his youngest son, Zhu Gaoyu, the king of Liang, to come to clear us."

Only a strong man with a fierce face and a full beard opened his mouth, and a scar spread from the corner of his eye to the side of his cheek, like a centipede, looking even more ferocious and terrifying,

"If it's the big ones, it doesn't matter. We can barely pass a few rounds in our hands. What kind of big things can a nine-year-old baby do." Listening to his tone, it seemed that even King Zhao and King Han didn't care.
