Ming dynasty grand dude

"Bang~!" Zhang Xiaogong raised his hand, and under the staring eyes of Ji Wu generals, he casually blew up another wine jar.

Although the muzzle speed of this old-fashioned matchlock gun is sloppy and its accuracy is not good, it is only a few times to get familiar with the gun with a distance of thirty steps.

It is not a problem at all to hit a jar accurately.

"Father, it's not appropriate to fight like this! The demonstration is okay, but the daily practice is too exhausting."

Zhang Xiaogong yelled at the distant elder father: "And the effect is not good."

"Then what do you say?!"

The smiling tiger-head grand master not far away is an old fox, how could he not know what kind of temper his grandson has? !

If you don't take him to the school grounds, you must be lazy, and if you catch him on the school grounds, he will help you with a plan.

Chapter 2 New training method in the school field, new type of chariot model

"Steel board! Half-length human-shaped steel board!" Zhang Xiaogong hit a half-length human-shaped target in his previous life.

"Add a base underneath, and stand up at any time when you hit the ground."

In this era of smoothbore guns without rifling, the accuracy requirements are not so high, although the bird gun is known as being able to hit flying birds.

However, Mr. Zhang was more skeptical about this, and the accuracy of using a smoothbore gun to hit a half-body target was still acceptable.

"Fifty-step targets, thirty-step targets, twenty-step targets! There are moving targets, hidden targets..."

As Young Master Zhang said, he simply asked Yingzi, the attendant at the side, to come over and take notes temporarily.

Don't do anything like how many rings, just ask to be able to hit the target.

As he spoke, he drew a figure of a half-length target on the ground, and the excited Yingzi quickly finished recording and sent it to Housekeeper Xiao Zhou.

At this time, the secret "can steel method" started by the German Krupp family has actually been used in China for many years.

It is called the "Guangang method" here, and it should have come from around the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was improved again by Qi Wuhuaiwen, a smelting ancestor, and the "Xiangguosu Iron Knife" was cast by the method of pouring steel.

However, literati, as always, do not pay much attention to this kind of technology, although Qi Wuhuaiwen's method of pouring steel has epoch-making significance.

But in their eyes, it is still just a "small way", even though this technology became mainstream in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

As for the records of Qi Wuhuaiwen, there is not even a year of birth and death.

Cannons definitely cannot be practiced at this time, and even the matchlock gun has to be stopped after a short hit.

Mr. Zhang Laoguo deserves to be praised by Xianzong as a "flea fine strategy". Although he can't practice artillery, he can learn to simulate charging, loading ammunition, and adjusting the angle to fire.

Tang Bohu drew several designs of the chariot according to Zhang Laogong's request, but the old Guogong was obviously not very satisfied.

After being stared at by his elder father for a while, Young Master Zhang could only sigh helplessly and go on stage in person.

It's different from Qi Jiguang who was poor and had no money when he was engaged in a van at that time, the money in Zhang Xiaogong's hand is rushing like flowing water now!

The economy is always the cornerstone of all wars, and the competition in wars is the overall national strength.

One of the most important items in this is economic strength.

How did the United States fight in World War II? !After Pearl Harbor was bombed, all kinds of equipment began to explode without saying a word.

From the Pearl Harbor incident at the end of 1941 to the surrender of Fuso in late 1945, more than 100 aircraft carriers of various types exploded!

Warships of various types did not delay, and more than [-] ships were built!

At the same time, fighter jets also exploded. In just one year from 1943 to 44, [-] fighter jets of various types exploded directly.

In addition, there are a large number of tanks, artillery, guns, dànyào, transport vehicles... and so on.

The opponents, the Germans, lamented that no matter how hard they played, it seemed that they could not keep up with their replenishment speed.

Since it was designed by the wealthy Mr. Zhang, it is natural to consider the practicality on the battlefield, first of all, the two side panels.

On the battlefield, they also paid attention to so many tricks, and directly wrapped hardwood boards with iron sheets as the side boards.

The car board is divided into four pieces for easy assembly and disassembly, and the roof is locked by four-legged wooden strips, which can be kept and conveniently assembled and disassembled.

The roof is fixed to take into account that the guns will be affected by wind and rain, so it is much better to have a sheltered roof.

When not needed, the entire roof can be removed, making the attack range wider.

Two of the four car panels are used as defenses on the car, and the other two can be used as shields in combination with wheel locks.

On the one hand, it can protect the wheels, and on the other hand, it can prevent the opponent from attacking the car array from under the wheels.

Each of the four car boards has two cannon ports and four firing ports, which can be locked or opened from the inside.

In this regard, Mr. Zhang Xiaogong referred to the van. Each car can be equipped with two small breech-loaded rapid-fire guns.

The improvement is that there are four more shooting holes, which allow the gunman to shoot outside from inside the carriage.

Driving is a simple fixed seat, as is the rear fender.All are detachable.

There are lock holes on the inner side of the vehicle board and on both sides of the vehicle frame, which can be connected to each other, and combined into a formation for defense...

There are enough funds and resources, and the advantage is that Zhang Xiaogong gave the dog leg Wang Xiaozhou and the housekeeper took out two cars within three days.

The needs of our little father-in-law will always come first!Don't mention to Xiao Zhou that the custom-made car is in a hurry, and the new car is about to be launched.

That's bullshit, you know? !Shit!

Our little father-in-law said that he wants to build a new chariot, so stop all of them and build it for me according to the drawings immediately!

In three days, hundreds of craftsmen worked together to deliver the two chariots to Grandpa Zhang in accordance with all the requirements of the drawings.

"Excellent car!!" Grandmaster Zhang Laoguo, the tiger head master, saw the car for the first time, his eyes sparkled faintly.

The three craftsmen accompanied them to make demonstrations, while Xiong Lieshan and a group of people watched and studied.

It took only less than a quarter of an hour for the three craftsmen to disassemble, reassemble and lock the two chariots "Ka Ka Ka...".

Surprisingly, a solid wall with a length of more than three feet and a height of about eight feet has been formed. Looking at the layer of iron plates covering it, one knows that it must be difficult for arrows to penetrate.

It may be difficult to burn the car with rockets. Looking at the dense muzzle above, shooting Kong Xionglieshan and the others who have practiced guns know that.

If he rushed close to this car, he might suffer a lot of damage in the first place!

The junction of the two vehicles forms a stomp, which can be used for both attack and observation.

"The car has just been built, we are not familiar with it and there are only three people, so the loading and unloading speed is slow..."

The leading craftsman looked at the old man Zhang and the young man tremblingly, thinking that the old man was just like the fierce Zhang Fei in the storyteller's mouth.

The baby was born with a tiger head, ring eyes and bearded beards, as strong and tall as a bear!

Even if you look at it from a distance, it is just like the storyteller said, "the tiger and the leopard will be generals"!

The little old man listened to the storyteller's words, and Zhang Fei shouted that no one dared to go forward in Changbanpo, so he thought about the storyteller's wild words? !

Now seeing the old Duke face to face, I really know that there are such fierce and fierce people in the world.

There is also the little prince Zhang, everyone said that he is like the immortal Buddha, and the Fusang eminent monk even gave him a title.

Although it was not the first time seeing Mr. Zhang.

But every time he sees this young Mr. Zhang, the little old man can't help but praise him: He is really a good man!Really good color! !

"The school grounds of the Military Academy will be completed in two days. In the next few days, you should first practice and get familiar with it, so that you can practice martial arts for His Majesty!"

Mr. Zhang walked around the car several times, then turned his head and nodded to Housekeeper Xiao Zhou: "Reward!"

Of course, Housekeeper Xiao Zhou was always ready. As soon as the old man opened his mouth, he immediately took out three envelopes of 20 taels of silver and put them in the hands of the three of them.

Chapter 2 Fifteen: Bravely Loyal Zhang Chihu, Poor Zhengde Suffers Again

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the account book in his hand, trembling uncontrollably.

Damn damn it!I was busy with life and death, fighting wits and courage with those old bastards in the court for more than ten years to save two million taels of silver.

Chi Hu'er earned one-tenth of what I had saved in just one day!

What's more, this earning is upright, well-founded, and reasonable, and everyone is grateful! !

The rich and noble relatives all feel that they have gained face, and the custom-made car from Yujiatang is really worth the money.

Although the officials and businessmen were a little bit pained at first, they sighed when they got in the car.

You really get what you pay for, this is much more comfortable than my old carriage!

It is also possible for the whole family to enjoy the family together in the car, and this car will have to buy another car to pick up relatives, friends, and distinguished guests later.

The common people are also grateful. The 50 taels of carriages are better but cheaper than the previous carriages.

The materials are also solid, and it is said that it can help maintain it four times and guarantee it for one year.

The common people value this very much. If the car breaks down, it is not cheap to find someone to repair it!

People dare to say that it will be repaired for you if it breaks down within a year, which shows that they have confidence in the reliability of their car!

Some small families gritted their teeth and pooled their money to buy a slightly larger car for running their own business.

For example, the Jinbaolu A-type passenger carriage that can carry people, it is said that dozens of them have begun to go to the docks and ferries.

It is specially used to pick up and drop off merchants and scholars. The investigation report of Dongchang said that the income is not bad.

Although the fare has dropped due to the increase in the number of people going there, the drivers are actually earning money because of the large number of passengers.

As fares fell, more people chose to take a car instead of walking, or rent a carriage by themselves.

The business of Lai Baicai's wagon is even better, because it has a larger load and is more popular.

And although the fare has increased, the weight has also increased and the speed has increased at the same time, but the volume of goods has increased each time.

Although the sales in the next few days were not as hot as the first day of opening, the three major car dealers successively made a lot of money.

The most daily amount is as much as 10 taels, and the least daily amount is 4 to [-] taels.

Officials and merchants bought the cars of Zanyingfang and sat in them. They felt that they were really good, and they ran to the car dealership again when they were a little bit excited.

This time they went directly to Yujiatang to see the car, or they ordered the car with gritted teeth for the sake of face or comfort.

The car in Yujiatang is more than 800 taels, and the deposit is 1000 taels.

The construction period ranges from ten days to one month, depending on the model configuration and materials used.

And those rich and noble relatives who bought the cars of Yujiatang couldn't carry the cars for the time being, but they wanted to feel comfortable.

So I simply bought a few hundred taels of Zanyingfang car and sat in it first, and then changed into my custom-made car when I came back.

Holding the account book tremblingly, Emperor Hongzhi is really full of anger!

Fuck you damn dog forcing the courtiers to keep telling me about the poverty of the empire...

Can this shit be called poverty? !Look at those officials and businessmen who bought two cars at once!

A car that costs 700 taels is 400 taels, and there are people who go to Yujiatang to buy custom cars.

The minimum price is more than 800 taels, and the best ones cost 4000 taels, no worse than those rich and expensive relatives!

Those rich and noble relatives are also fucking puppies, and it's miserable to cry poor with me on weekdays.

Damn it, you have told me on weekdays that it seems that every day the porridge will not be able to uncover the virtues of the pot.

As a result, the custom-made carriage costs only 4000 taels, and the most luxurious one costs more than 800 taels!

"Xiao Banban, Master Mao said that I will go to the new school to test the new tanks in the future?!"

Xiao Jing, who was standing on the sidelines, bowed and responded, "Returning to Your Majesty, the chariot built by Lord Mao and Young Lord has already taken shape..."

"According to reports from Xiong Lieshan and Chen Tong, this chariot combined with new weapons can be regarded as a powerful weapon for the country! If it is used on the Nine Sides, the troubles of the Tartars will be eliminated!"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help standing up suddenly when he heard the words, and looked at Xiao Jing in disbelief.

The latter bowed and prostrated: "Mr. Mao went to the nine borders to fight enemies for the country many times when he was the first emperor, and Mr. Zhang is so loyal and talented!"

"The sharp weapons made by the grandfather and grandson must be extraordinary! Chen Tong and Xiong Lieshan are also fierce soldiers fighting to the nine sides, and what they say is true!"

However, in Xiao Jing's words, there was a bit of choking: "The minister... Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Hongzhi let out a sigh of relief, the troubles of the nine borders would burn millions of taels every year to deal with them.

Even so, the Tatars still attacked repeatedly, and Guochao simply had no food left to launch a counterattack!

Sure enough, the Zhang family is the confidant of my royal family. The honor given to the Zhang family by the ancestors is not wrong at all.
