Domineering Daming

Seeing Cao Bianjiao below, he waved his spear and said loudly, "Start!"

He gave an order, and 100 people carried their spears on their backs and rushed forward quickly.

Off-roading, crossing the river, horizontal bars, barbed wire, jumping over the wall... All the obstacles that Zhu Xu could think of were here. The 100 people quickly circled around and stood in the last three rows. Gunshots rang out and knocked down all the targets 300 meters away.

It was also the first time for Cao Wenzhao to see such an exercise, and he said happily to Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, the power of this firearm is much stronger than those in Liaodong. If we can really go to Liaodong, we will definitely teach the Tatars a great lesson!"

Bi Maokang also said: "Your Highness, although the sight is still not high, but if we can really open the barbed wire and the tunnel, we will be able to stop the first wave of cavalry charges, and then we can use infantry to finish them off!"

Listening to what the two said, Zhu Xu smiled and remained silent.He is quite satisfied with the current situation, but it is unrealistic to send him to Liaodong now. After all, Bi Maokang has never been on the battlefield. Then fire the musket.

Therefore, flintlock guns can only be used in the defensive stage. Cooperating with cannons, the cavalry charge loses its power. If you want to truly form combat effectiveness and be able to attack the city, you must first increase the range, and then use large-scale equipment. A high-quality army of more than 3 people!

After a burst of shooting, the original shooting scene was completely changed. All the targets were shot on the ground. Zhu Xu roughly calculated that there should be more than 3 targets, and it took less than [-] minutes.

After Cao Bianjiao finished shooting, he shouted, led a group of people to form a team quickly, trotted to Zhu Xu's bunker, and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, the drill is over!"

Zhu Xu smiled satisfied, and said loudly: "Very good, I am very satisfied, each person will be rewarded with 30 taels of silver, half a day off, and today there will be wine and meat!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cao Bianjiao shouted, raising his spear to the sky.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The 100 people also waved their spears and shouted loudly, their voices shook the sky and echoed endlessly.

Zhu Xu smiled more and stood facing the crowd for a while, then turned around and went down the bunker.

"Your Highness." Cao Wenzhao walked and stayed behind, and said: "We have recruited all the people, they are all young and strong, and they are in very good health, but the firearms are not enough, and some of them are reformed, not according to Lord Bi. Made from drawings."

Zhu Xu nodded. If this firearm wants to be manufactured on a large scale, it must be done secretly. Naturally, there is no way to do it quickly. It is not bad to be able to manufacture fifty or sixty guns in more than two months.

Bi Mao hurriedly followed up and said, "Your Highness, the only thing missing now is gunpowder. The New Year is approaching, so it should be much more convenient. After the New Year, we should be able to make [-] rods."

"Okay." Zhu Xu also let out a sigh of relief, the pressure was relieved, and he said with a smile: "Okay, let's go and see the cannon."

When Bi Maokang heard this, his expression lifted, and he said, "Your Highness, please come to me."

In order to facilitate the drill and not be noticed, this place is very far away from the capital and people.

Bi Maokang took Zhu Xu to a wilderness, and there were two black cannons erected in the stone wall, which looked black and bigger than the ones Zhu Xu had seen in TV dramas.

Bi Maokang walked closer, pointed to a door and said, "Your Highness, this red barbarian cannon came from the Dutch. It was discarded and sent to me. This is my imitation. It has been improved a lot and is even more powerful."

Zhu Xu stepped forward and touched the door that Bi Maokang had imitated. This door weighed at least two or three tons, and its power was not small.

Zhu Xu looked back and forth for a while, then turned to look at Bi Maokang and said, "Can you try firing a cannon now?"

Bi Maokang took out a booklet from his pocket and said, "Your Highness, the imitation is not good enough. I have calculated this Hongyi cannon, and I will record all the data here according to your requirements."

Zhu Xu took the booklet and turned it over to look at it, nodding from time to time.

This Hongyi cannon has a front sight, with a range of about 2000 meters. According to Bi Maokang’s brochure, the imitation will change the length and material of the barrel, as well as the casting method. The distance can be increased to more than 3000 meters, and the effective lethality is also greater. It can be improved a lot.

However, Bi Maokang didn't mention the power of the shells, and Zhu Xu couldn't do anything about it. Gunpowder had to rely on professionals to increase the power.

Zhu Xu, whose thoughts diverged, quickly thought of the battle of Ningyuan, and muttered to himself, "At that time, can we directly bombard Nurhachi with intensive bombardment and kill Nurhachi by surprise?"

Seeing that Zhu Xu was staring in a daze, Bi Maokang said, "Your Highness, the soldiers will be eating soon. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Zhu Xu raised his head and realized that Bi Maokang wanted him to have fun with the generals.

"Okay, let's go." Zhu Xu put the booklet into his arms and said with a smile.

Zhu Xu went to the dining hall of the soldiers, but Wei Zhongxian in the capital was not at peace for a moment.

In the Prison of Rituals, he was hurriedly called over, looking at the folder in his hand, his face was ashen, and his eyes were full of cold killing intent.

This is an excerpt for Chen Liangxun during the incident, mainly to impeach him.

He looked at the excerpt, and said word by word: "The power eunuch will harm the country, the fate of the country will come to an end! Good, good..."

"Eunuch, these people are going to drive us to death! We must not tolerate it any longer!"

"That's right, if you don't give them a look, they don't know how to advance or retreat!"

"Eunuch, you can't be kind anymore, you have to kill a few people before they can be quiet!"

The chief inspector of ceremonies and the eunuchs were also furious, and the foreign ministers tried their best to beat them in every possible way, which was really intolerable.

Chapter 129 Confrontation between Monarch and Subject

Hearing the words of the group of people around him, Wei Zhongxian felt murderous in his heart.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly looked up at a group of people, and said coldly, "Okay, this time, this eunuch will teach them a lesson they will never forget!"

"Okay, father-in-law, what do you say! We all listen to you!" Liu Chao shouted.

Li Yongzhen also stood up and said loudly: "Elder-in-law, we must not let them go easily this time!"

Wei Zhongxian looked at the excerpt, sneered, and said: "You all copy down the sentence 'the fate of the country will end', and I will take it to the emperor later!"

"Okay, father-in-law, why don't we go together? There are so many people, let the emperor see our grievances!"

"No need." Wei Zhongxian waved his hand with coldness in his eyes, "Elder Ye Ge is in the imperial study right now, it's enough for me to go alone."

A group of eunuchs hesitated, Wei Zhongxian seemed lonely no matter how he went alone, and the emperor's trust in him was not as good as before.

Wei Zhongxian had already made a plan in his heart, and after a while, he took the booklet and went straight to the Imperial Study Room of Jingyang Palace.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao is fighting with Ye Xianggao, a senior scholar of the cabinet. Zhu Youxiao wants to increase the internal money, and Ye Xianggao wants the emperor to pay the internal money.

Zhu Youxiao's expression remained unchanged, but he was angry in his heart.

Not long ago, Zhu Xu confiscated six government treasuries, and got more than 2000 million taels of cash. He kept 500 million taels, and all the rest were returned to the Ministry of Households and incorporated into the national treasury.Why after two months, instead of increasing the internal money, he wanted to pay the internal money! ?

At this time, when the tax money was put into the treasury, the water transport was going northward, and the national treasury was full, Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger and asked, "Sir, how much is there in the treasury now?"

Ye Xianggao stood below, and said respectfully: "Go back to the emperor, after verification by the minister, there are 300 million taels of pure silver in the treasury, and [-] shi of rice grain."

Zhu Youxiao's expression changed, and he said, "Why are there so few? Didn't there be tens of millions of taels before?"

Ye Xianggao raised his head and said like a few treasures: "Your Majesty, Sichuan, Gansu, Yunnan, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, and the Nine Frontiers have been fighting endlessly. They owed too much money before, plus disaster relief, fire damage, flooding, and household affairs It’s beyond enough.”

Zhu You's chest heaved with school spirit. Before there was no money, everyone was doing well. Now that they have money, they are living a miserable life. I want to pay for it!
