Ming dynasty grand dude

Under the guidance of Dai Yi who was rubbing the corner of his eyes silently, Emperor Hongzhi stepped onto the magnificent fort slowly.

Today, Emperor Hongzhi did not wear a dragon robe as usual, but put on the armor representing the marshal of the military department.

So when he started to walk, the armor on his body made a "crash~" sound, even Xiao Jing and the others behind him were also wearing armor.

Looking at them, they were immediately distinguished from those courtiers and civil servants.

Standing on the fort at the forefront, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Jinmen Qianhai from a distance.

With the 25 catty Qin-level battle-axe-style [-]-inch heavy coastal defense gun beside him, Emperor Hongzhi finally fell with a hanging heart.

Patting the huge barrel of the cannon, Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had never been so at ease.

Looking at it from a distance, about four miles away, the seized civilian ships have arrived at their positions and slowly lowered their anchors.

Then the sailors on the boat put down the boat and ran to the shore desperately.

A group of civil and military officials who followed Emperor Hongzhi to the fort were all assigned improved earplugs.

There are artillerymen stationed on the fort on the side, showing them how to wear it.

"Let's get started..." Emperor Hongzhi calmly carried the earplugs, but didn't put them on directly.

After all, it wasn't the first time he had seen the artillery demonstration. Today he specially brought the civil and military ministers to see the artillery.

Even in the military headquarters, only Zhang Mao and Zhang Xiaogong, who supervised the construction of the artillery, have seen the power of the artillery with their own eyes.

At the order of Emperor Hongzhi, the Lieutenant Colonel of the National Defense Forces who was in charge of the fort excitedly saluted with boxing chests!

Then he went to the command position and personally played the semaphore everywhere. The semaphore at this time was actually very simple.

It is based on the ancient military books "Six Taos · Tiger Tao", "Taiping Yulan Zhuge Liang's Military Orders", etc., and it was used after a bit of modification.

Flags of different colors represent different meanings.

Seeing that the artillerymen moved with a bang, they stuffed huge ammunition packs into the barrel, tamped them down and loaded them with shells.

Only then did Emperor Hongzhi come to the front, put on his earplugs and looked at the civilian ships moored in the distance.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Although the civil servants who put on earplugs were prepared, the roar of the wild beast that shook the ground and almost changed the color of the world was too loud!

The violent gunfire not only made the ground of the entire fort tremble.

Even the air wave caused by the roar directly overturned several civil servants whose legs and feet were limp, and turned them into rolling gourds.

Amidst the violent roar, the blades of the armor on Emperor Hongzhi's body that were lifted by the air waves made a "crash~" sound.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his beard and beard fluttering in the wind.

The roar of twenty Qin-level battle-axe-style 25-inch heavy coastal defense guns at the same time, not to mention the civil servants and the big bosses of the military department, also changed their expressions.

Those who can still stand on the fort are only a few civil servants such as the three great scholars, the six ministers, and Liu Daxia.

Although the chiefs of the military department changed their expressions, they were still able to stand firm.

It's just that they glared and glared, their hands couldn't help holding the sword hilt at their waists, and their eyes were also looking at those civilian ships from afar...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Even if the shell did not hit the ship, it still exploded a water column several feet high on the sea!

The civilian ship that was hit was like an egg hit by a huge oil hammer, and the whole ship "boom~!" in an instant...

It was scattered in all directions, and it was... directly smashed and disintegrated!

3Chapter 16 The Jinmen Fort is finally accomplished, and the facts are attached to the martial arts

Even if these civil servants have no experience, they can see the range and lethality of this giant cannon.

Those civilian ships that were not directly hit were not much better, and several were directly overturned by the huge waves raised by the shells.

This huge power directly stunned the civil servants on the scene, and many civil servants looked at the snow-white waves in a foolish way...

Just like that, those civilian boats were lifted up, and then smashed down severely.

Emperor Hongzhi lamented that it really is a sharp weapon of the country!The money I threw in was really not in vain.

The civil officials were stunned, and Emperor Hongzhi did not give an order.

However, the artillerymen had already followed the procedures in the drills and began to wash the entire cannon with buckets of prepared tung oil.

"Zizizi~~" The strong smell of tung oil poured on the cannon and the sound finally brought the civil servants back to their senses.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, gently took off his earplugs, turned around and looked at these civil servants.

"Let's go! Go down and have a look."

With that said, Emperor Hongzhi took the lead to leave the fort slowly, led by the major general Xu Ning Xu Zhidao who was in charge of the fort here.

This Xu Ningbian is Xu Tai's father who was jealous of Wang Shouren in the later Zhengde dynasty, who rejected him in every possible way, and arrested and humiliated Wu Wending.

Speaking of which, this Xu family is also a family of martial arts for many generations, and the ancestors are all commanding Tongzhi and Yongxin Bo Xu Cheng.

His father, Xu Gui, was very good, and Jing Tainian repelled the Tatar raids many times.

There was even an act of rushing into the enemy's camp to retake the horses. Later, when Yingzong was restored, he was transferred back to the capital and then transferred to Jinling.

During the extermination of the barbarian rebellion in Songpan and Shandu, more than [-] villages were broken, more than [-] people were beheaded, and more than [-] prisoners were captured.

It's a pity that he got sick and died on the road, so Yingzong regretted that he would go to court for three days to express his condolences.

The father is very good and his son is not too bad. According to historical records:

"Ning Shufa joined the army, fought more than a hundred times, and was wounded 27 times..."

"Nature is serious and firm, keeps officials honest, treats scholars with kindness, and disdains to work hard. Liu Ning, Shenying, and Li Gao are all under his command."

To put it simply, since Xu Ning joined the army as an adult, he has experienced more than 100 battles, with 27 wounds on his body.

With a calm and resolute personality and a clean and honest voice, he cherishes the soldiers and often bestows favors but disdains to advance for the sake of official career.

Chenghua's big defeat in 18 years can't be regarded as his fault.

According to historical records, "Wang Quzhan made the crowd cry at the Yuanmen. Ning Angry, and Tong and others camped outside the city..."

"The Kou used more than ten people as a lure, and the eunuch Cai Xin rode on horseback to attack. Ning's officers and men fought to go to him, but they were defeated and killed more than a thousand people."

So there was nothing wrong with Xu Ning in this matter, but after all, he was the one who falsely reported the victory and was demoted.

It was not until the Hongzhi Dynasty that it was used again, and Ren Du commanded the envoys to lead the drills.

He was among the cavalry who went to rescue Young Master Zhang. Since the tiger-headed Duke is in charge of the Beijing camp, he naturally knows who has real skills.

At the same time, I also wanted to use this to support him, even though it was a long time ago.

But after all, he is falsely reporting the great victory, even if it is activated now, it is just a boon.

Only by making military achievements can the stains of the past on him be washed away, otherwise he can only die in the capital's position.

Sure enough, this time Xu Ning seized the opportunity to behead thousands of levels with the tiger-headed old Duke.

I have personally cut more than thirty levels, which can be said to be strong and strong.

After returning, he was appointed as the chief drill officer of the new army. He had the support and support of the tiger-headed old man, and he had seen the young man's posture of beheading.

This veteran admired Mr. Zhang very much, and humbly asked for advice.

Later, in the matter of choosing the guard of the Jinmen Fortress, the old man recommended Xu Ning to Emperor Hongzhi.

Wang Yue and Wang Zhi also felt that Xu Ning was suitable, although Xu Ning and Wang Zhi really did not get along back then.

Coming down from the fort, Emperor Hongzhi led a group of civil servants to first look at the other places of the fort under the guidance of Xu Ning.

Finally, he went to Xu Ning's General Mansion Festival Hall and sat down to rest.

"Shang Shu and the servant are staying, and Major General Xu Ning, the commander of the military headquarters and the fort, is staying."

However, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "The rest of you will step back for now."

The emperor said so, even though there were civil servants who were aggrieved, they could only resign under the signal of the three great scholars and monks.

After instructing Xiao Jing to have all the surrounding areas sealed off, Emperor Hongzhi then asked Wang Zhi to hang up the documents that he had sorted out from Mr. Zhang.

Many of these have been analyzed by the master craftsmen of the Ordnance Construction Bureau, and there are even traces of writing and painting.

"I know that everyone is wondering why I favor Lord Zhulou."

However, Emperor Hongzhi looked at the servants, stood up slowly according to the table and said in a deep voice: "This... is the reason why I favor Lord Zhulou!"

"Mr. Zhulou didn't say it out of his original intention, but I personally ordered it!!"

These servants couldn't help being dumbfounded when they heard Emperor Hongzhi's words, but Emperor Hongzhi continued.

"Afterwards, what Wang Gong said is the top secret of the empire! Anyone who dares to reveal half of it, the three tribes of the barbarians! All the nine tribes are on the sidelines!"

These servants couldn't help but tremble when they heard Emperor Hongzhi's words, and suddenly their liver and gallbladder became slightly cold.

But Wang Zhi stood up with a smile, and distributed the dossiers to these servants.

Then he said in a soft tone: "Last year, Grandpa Zhang met a Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River..."

Flipping through the file in his hand, he listened to Wang Zhi's soft-spoken talk.

These servants suddenly realized why Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng in the court hall were indifferent to Emperor Hongzhi's many disposals.

It was also at this time that they understood why the six departments fully cooperated with the establishment of the military department.

What the hell is going to cause the family to die, who cares about these bullshit things.

The first thing is to cast the artillery, not only the casting but also the installation of the fort.

New troops must be trained, craftsmen must be organized, and especially craftsmen must be reused so that they can read and count.

Thinking that the Dardanelles had already been cast decades ago, these servants immediately shuddered.

Decades have passed, God knows how far they have developed.

Their ships have already arrived at the empire's waters, and even a small group of scouts can kill Qianhu.

Moreover, they can also learn the Ming dialect. If they find out about Jinmen Port, they will make a big attack...

No wonder!No wonder Dai Yi had to rush to build forts and install artillery regardless of the lives and deaths of these people.

If you don't hurry up and set up the fort and artillery, I'm afraid His Majesty won't be able to sleep well in the capital, right? !

Thinking of this, the servants suddenly shuddered.

"This matter has been stabilized for the time being, but I still don't know how the Europa people will develop! Especially the navy!"

However, Emperor Hongzhi looked at these courtiers and said in a deep voice: "In the future, besides casting cannons, I will also strengthen the navy! I will try my best to defend against the enemy outside the sea!"

"Mr. Sanbao once wrote a letter saying, 'If you want the country to be rich and strong, you should not ignore the ocean. Wealth is obtained from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea...'"

"'Once the king of another country wins Nanyang, China will be in danger'!"

However, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at these servants coldly: "This statement... I must remember it, and you must also remember it!!"

3Chapter 17 The fort received courtiers' ambitions, and graduated to prepare for new military uniforms

No one dares not to keep in mind that this matter is related to the entire empire and even the thousand-year-old culture, and the small matter is related to one's family inheritance and ancestral sacrifices.

However, after they read the materials, they were directly taken back by Wang Zhi with a smile, looking at the faces of the three great scholars and several ministers.

All the servants sighed and had no choice but to hand over the files honestly.

"This matter should not be announced for the time being, otherwise it will cause panic in the entire empire."

Liu Jian stood up slowly at this time, looked at these servants and said in a deep voice.

"The only way to do it is to accumulate the national power of the empire, to develop armaments, to educate and train craftsmen, to spread the culture, to clear the country..."

How can anyone dare to say no now? !All they can do is nod their heads, bow their heads and say yes, expressing that they will fully cooperate.

However, Zhang Mao stood up slowly at this time, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and glanced at these servants like lightning: "Those who dare to spread the word..."

"Must kill!!"

This sentence of "must kill" made all the servants tremble in their hearts, this tiger-headed old Duke really killed him when he said he would kill him!
