I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

Seeing the usefulness and power of this thing, Zhu Di unconsciously thought of a weapon in an ancient book.

Following the first soldier's throw, the rest of the soldiers also threw their iron balls one after another.

Amidst a burst of bangs, large and small pits appeared on the martial arts arena.

"Not bad!"

Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this weapon, Zhu Di quickly remembered how to use it.

That is the siege equipment used for city defense to deal with the enemy's attack on the city wall.

Thinking of the usefulness, Zhu Di turned his head to Yang Shiqi behind him and said, "The Ministry of War reserves some, this thing is good for defending the city."

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Just when Zhu Di explained to Yang Shiqi, another group of new soldiers walked to the martial arts arena.

This group of soldiers did not carry weapons, but each of them carried a large wooden box and iron cylinders on their backs.

When they arrived at the designated location, the soldiers fixed the iron cylinder on their shoulders.

Then, he took out a small iron ball from the wooden box, pulled out a lead wire from the chassis, and put the iron ball into the iron bucket.

"呲呲呲..."

The fuse ignites and burns quickly.

After a muffled bang, the iron ball was ejected from the small iron cylinder and flew hundreds of meters away.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

After a burst of explosion and gunpowder smoke, another large pit appeared on the martial arts arena.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Zhangui suspiciously.

Zhu Zhangui didn't seem to have told him about this kind of small cannon.

"My Majesty, the name of this cannon is the Tiger Crouching Cannon. It is the cannon that the general studied when he reported to you some time ago. The range is from 150 paces to 250 paces. The main target is to deal with the soldiers on the enemy's wall and those behind the bunker. Soldier."

After listening to Zhu Zhangui's introduction, Zhu Di recalled the way this weapon was launched, nodded suddenly, turned to Yang Shiqi and said, "Your military department will record this weapon and study how to defend against the attack of this weapon. .”

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Zhu Di turned his head and let Zhu Zhangui continue.

Zhu Zhangui waved the command flag in his hand, and the tiger crouching gun soldiers retreated, and a soldier carrying a long box or pushing a box cart walked towards the martial arts arena.

Arriving at the designated location, the soldier opened the door of the box, revealing the true appearance of the weapon.

"Swarm!"

Seeing the true appearance of the weapon clearly, Zhu Di couldn't help frowning.

When he was in trouble, he was beaten by Li Jinglong with this weapon so that he ran away with his head in his arms.

If it hadn't been raining in that battle, his troops would have almost collapsed.

After he ascended the throne and mastered Ming Dynasty, he ordered the manufacture of this weapon.

Before Zhu Zhangui mastered the Shenjiying, there was a swarm of bees in the Shenjiying.

It's just that the reloading of this thing is too slow after shooting, and there is no large-scale equipment.

Just as the old man watched the swarm of bees sinking into memory, the soldiers below were ready to shoot.

As Zhu Zhangui waved the command flag in his hand, the soldiers raised the torch and lit the fuse.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp..."

A sharp whistle sounded instantly.

The arrows lost one by one, and under the propulsion of the gunpowder, they flew forward at an extremely fast speed, flying sixty or seventy steps before falling to the ground.

"it is good!"

Zhu Di couldn't help saying hello.

If he remembered correctly, before Zhu Zhangui mastered Shenjiying, the swarm of Shenjiying could only fly twenty or thirty steps!

It turned out that after Zhu Zhangui took over the Shenjiying, he upgraded this weapon, and the range was fully doubled.

Although it is only a short distance of tens of meters, if it is put on the battlefield, it will make the enemy die a lot more.

Thus ended the exercise.

Everyone who watched was full of praise for the performance of the [-] Battalion and the [-]th Army Battalion.

As for the Shenji Battalion, well, it's quite novel, and the cannons are quite loud. As for the others, it seems that there are no more.

There is no way, compared to the majestic cavalry and the stable infantry.

Except that the array of Shenji Battalion is a bit stronger than the other two, everyone else really didn't see anything special.

In fact, no one else is to blame.

The weapons equipped by Shenji Battalion, without bullets, really can't be seen except for the sound.

But what is strange is that Zhu Di praised Shenji Ying for his best performance.

Many people feel this way.

Zhu Di may like this grandson, and it is the first time that this grandson leads a military exercise, so it is normal to be partial.

After the military exercise was over, the unimportant people returned to the capital, waiting for tomorrow's wedding.

The generals of the three battalions followed Zhu Di into the military account to discuss military affairs.

"What do you think about today's military exercise?"

As soon as he entered the tent, Zhu Di sat at the head with a strong horse, and asked Zhu Gaoxu, who had a sideways glance and an expression of dissatisfaction.

Zhu Gaoxu, who had been waiting for this word for a long time, was the first to stand up without waiting for others to speak.

"The emperor will not accept it."

Turning his head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di seemed to have expected it and asked: "Why are you dissatisfied? I think I'm unfair."

"The end will not dare."

Zhu Gaoxu lowered his head.

"Hehe, don't dare, then you still think so in your heart."

"I feel like an old man like me is too eccentric. Instead of giving the best reward to your [-] Battalion, I gave it to the Shenji Battalion instead."

Hearing the old man's strange words, Zhu Gaoxu took a deep breath, and said a little dissatisfied: "The general doesn't understand how my [-] battalion is weaker than the Shenji battalion. Could it be because of their loud voices? An explanation, and I will not be able to explain it to my subordinates in the end."

"Hehe, explain!"

Zhu Di sneered, slammed the table fiercely and shouted angrily: "Then you deducted the soldiers' rations, why didn't anyone explain it to me!"

Chapter 89: Second uncle, you finally fell into my hands.

Zhu Di's sudden anger startled everyone.

The people present fell to their knees.

"Emperor calm down!"

"Calm your anger, hehe."

Zhu Di sneered, stood up and looked at the kneeling crowd.

"The soldiers are going to starve to death, and they are going to rebel against me. How can you make me calm down?"

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at Zhu Di.

Some of them had ghosts in their hearts, their bodies were shaking, and cold sweat flowed from their foreheads.

Striding up to the kneeling crowd, Zhu Di stared at Zhu Gaoxu and said coldly, "My lord, tell me, why do the soldiers want to be soldiers?"

Zhu Gaoxu, whose heart was beating wildly, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "In order to drive out the Tartars, for the sake of the common people, and to protect the country."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing this answer, Zhu Di sneered disdainfully.

Turn around and walk to Zhu Zhangui.

"You said."

Zhu Zhangui looked up at the old man, saw that the old man was staring at him, and hurriedly said loudly: "In order to survive, in order to have a bite to eat and save some money for the family, in order to exchange military achievements for rewards, for the fertile land and relief promised by the court To make the family live a better life, for the money rewarded by the court to go home, marry a wife and have children, and pass on the incense!"

Zhu Di nodded, turned around and returned to the middle of the hall, looking at everyone.

"Have you heard everything?"

"They did not join the army for the righteousness of the country, but for the sake of saving their family money, for the sake of having enough to eat, and for the pitiful rewards and tax reductions."

"Expel the Tartars, protect the country, and serve the emperor, these words are farting to them."

"I can tell you responsibly that if there is someone who can give them more and help their family live a better life, they will point their swords at me without hesitation."

"When they chop off your and my heads, they don't think that this is his former general and their monarch, but they think about how much money you and my heads can be exchanged for, how many officials they can give them, and how much money they can give them. How many beauties and fertile fields have been exchanged for them."

Everyone bowed their heads and let Zhu Di reprimand them.

Taking a few breaths, Zhu Di looked at everyone.

"I don't think I have treated you badly. I know that the imperial court's salary is small, so I will use other methods to compensate you, those of you who have worked so hard for me."

"Farlands, beauties, official positions, houses, which one of you is missing from me? Some people in your family choose to go into business. Even if I know about it, I will choose to turn a blind eye."

"But what about you? How did you repay me?"

"Eat empty wages, drink soldiers' blood, sell court armaments, even treat soldiers as their own private slaves, work for themselves, repair houses, farm, take care of homes..."

The more Zhu Di talked, the angrier he became, and finally he grabbed the things on the table angrily and threw them to the ground.

The people below were shaking as things fell.

The old man was really angry.

Today's matter, I'm afraid it won't be settled easily, and it will definitely not end if it doesn't lose a bunch of heads.

"Now, for the sake of your life for me, stand up yourself, and I can forgive your family."

No one said anything, let alone stood up, and many people still had a little luck in their hearts.

Thinking that what Zhu Di found may not have his own name.

"no one there?"

Seeing that no one moved, the expression on Zhu Di's face became colder and colder, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"The last general is dead!"

Just when Zhu Di was about to call the roll, a Chinese general from the Fifth Army Battalion stood up, took off his helmet, and knelt down in front of Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked indifferently at the general who stood up.

"Go back and make up for the food, enter the slave camp, and whether you can survive depends on your own life."

"The final general will thank the emperor Long En!"

The general put down his helmet, kowtowed, and left the tent under the supervision of two Jinyi guards.

"Any more?"

When the general left, Zhu Di looked at the rest of the people, and his gaze swept Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu intentionally or unintentionally.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was stared at by the old man unnaturally, lay on the ground with his teeth gritted.

He couldn't believe that the old man could kill his own son for such a trivial matter.

After a long time, no one said anything, and no one stood up.

"Ji Gang!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly.

Ji Gang, who was on standby outside, strode into the tent.

"Chen is here!"
