Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

I think back then, they wanted guns but no guns, and they wanted people but no one.

In such a situation, with only one passion, he wiped out all the Tsarist Russians in the entire slave army.

What's more, they have already changed their guns for guns today?

Although he was returning to Beijing to pay tribute, he could not move forward with a large army.

However, Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing are no longer afraid!

These two people are the patriotic pacesetters in the Ming Dynasty clan!

In such a difficult situation back then, both of them were willing to risk their lives for the sake of Ming Dynasty, let alone now?

According to the "Canonization Law of the Ming Empire":

"If the leader of the Duke Kingdom returns to Beijing by land, this standard will be followed:

The accompanying escort shall not exceed 500 people, and the artillery carried shall consist of three three-inch caliber rapid-fire general cannons and ten one-inch caliber rapid-fire cannons;

After entering the border area of ​​​​Inner Province, the three-inch artillery was sealed in the local command office, and soldiers accompanied it to protect it;

When entering the Gyeonggi area, you can only carry one hundred sergeants, and you are not allowed to carry artillery. You can carry continuous-fire and individual explosive equipment;

When entering Kyoto, you can only bring ten rifle soldiers, and you are not allowed to bring sniper, repeater, or explosive firearms.

If the leader of a feudal country returns to Beijing by ship, the artillery standard of the accompanying warships will not be reduced, but the maximum number of warships shall not exceed five;

After arriving at the coastline of the built-in province, the warships docked in the harbor and were not allowed to go deep into the inland rivers;

The number of escort sergeants and escort regulations are the same as the former.

Except for the special edict to King Qin.

If it is not an imperial edict, anyone who violates it will be expelled from the country! "

The scope of rule of dynasties has always been closely related to the time of information transmission.

Hurry up, the place where information can be exchanged within half a month is the maximum area of ​​the directly-governed province; the place where it can be reached in one month is the maximum area of ​​Jizhou Prefecture.

This is why all dynasties have never been able to directly rule the plateau.

Because there is no restraint rule, once the dynasty weakens slightly, the appointed officials will establish themselves as kings, forming substantial independence.

In contrast, Jizhou was the easiest way to rule.

This is why Tsarist Russia forcibly annexed Siberia and the Far East, but local rebellions continued.

And when the railway was completed, it became the territory of Tsarist Russia.

In the final analysis, it is the timeliness of the central dynasty's troop deployment.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is in an era of change with the rise of new technology and the legacy of the old governance methods.

Zhu Youjian needs time.

Give him thirty years, and the place occupied by the Ming army will eventually become the inseparable foundation of the Ming Dynasty forever!

Since only a large vassal state can open up a living environment for the Chinese people, Zhu Youjian had to consider the problem of maintaining the stability of his rule.

Only by making strict regulations can China achieve long-term peace and stability.

The vassal state, to put it bluntly, is just a pair of gloves of Zhu Youjian.

The establishment of a vassal state, with continuous sacrifices in name, was just to appease the hearts of the people in the occupied areas.

"Survival or death" - in essence, it is just a tool to appease the people of the former vested interests in the occupied areas.

This principle was understood by our ancestors as early as the Spring and Autumn Period.

The emergence of the "Canonization Law" was to eliminate the "independence" of the vassal state.

Waiting for thirty years...

Thirty years later, with one move of "Tweening the Order of Grace", the world will be united!

……

Gong Yonggu and Liu Wenbing only returned to Beijing to pay tribute.

Therefore, the thousand men they brought with them carried only artillery within the prescribed range.

That is, a total of 20 one-inch guns and 6 three-inch guns.

Three-inch, one-inch and other caliber rapid-fire guns are the two "stars" of the new Ming Dynasty standard infantry artillery array.

That is, the 33mm gun and the 100mm gun.

This is a premium product that has been tested in actual combat.

These two types of artillery are far more popular among generals than the two-inch and four-inch artillery.

The one-inch-caliber rapid-fire cannon shells are all explosive shells.

Inside each shell, there are 12 round marbles smaller than corn kernels, which rely on the exploded shrapnel and marbles to kill the enemy.

It is mainly used to bombard the opponent's array before hand-to-hand combat.

The one-inch rapid-fire cannon weighs exactly 90 kilograms. (Approximately equivalent to a Western 2-pounder gun)

(Refer to a later 30mm caliber gun with a total weight of 45 kilograms.

One kilogram made in the Ming Dynasty is 596.8 grams, which is converted into 53.712 kilograms.

Because the strength of steel in this era was not up to the standards of later generations, the barrel had to be strengthened.

Therefore, this data is reasonable. )

With a weight of 90 kilograms, one soldier can carry it and walk, and two soldiers can carry it and run.

This kind of artillery can be locked on the gun carriage using a "U"-shaped latch to increase mobility.

And, most importantly, because the gun is light, three one-inch artillery can be installed on a gun carriage to form a continuous strike force.

It can also be paired with a two-inch or three-inch artillery and installed on a gun truck to form two completely different tactical support weapons.

(Several artillery pieces share one gun carriage, which is a classic artillery maneuver method of the Ming army after Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

See Xiong Tingbi's memorial for details.

Whether it was first created by Xiong Tingbi is unknown. )

In addition to being carried by infantry and sharing a gun carriage with different artillery pieces, the benefits of a one-inch gun go far beyond this!

When the conditions are not met, you can also abandon the scaffolding and lose another 5 pounds.

It only takes one barrel to maneuver.

When launching, just use earth and rocks, pile up a slope, and you can launch.

(Conventional method of Ming Dynasty artillery.)

In addition to convenient transportation and diverse application scenarios, the main reason why one-inch cannons are widely praised is because of the lightness of the shells.

The weight of a one-inch cannon shell is only one and a half kilograms.

Zhu Youjian promoted the tactical vest, which is commonly equipped by artillery, and can carry five at a time.

It does not affect normal operations.

If it takes one minute to open all the telescopic buttons of the tactical vest, a soldier can carry twenty artillery shells and quickly turn in.

Twenty one-inch shells weigh only thirty kilograms.

A weight of thirty kilograms, carried on the body, will not affect the activities of normal adults at all.

(One and a half kilograms made in Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 895.2 grams.

Referring to the 30mm gun, the bullet weight is 810 grams.

Considering that the one-inch gun has a larger caliber, the weight of this shell is reasonable. )

Because of its high accuracy, easy maneuverability, and low launch requirements, it became the favorite of the Ming army when small groups of troops were operating.

Since Zhu You established the capital of Handu and established the Ming Dynasty Royal Arms Manufacturing Bureau, more than 60,000 one-inch cannons have been produced!

(Don’t doubt that during the Jiajing Dynasty, not to mention other types of artillery, more than 30,000 Folang machines were produced alone!)

This is evident from the high popularity of the one-inch cannon among the soldiers.
