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

Wang Guoxing rubbed his head, he had a headache!

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the small corner doors on both sides of the door...

Hey, there is!

"Come here, bring me some squatting tiger cannons!"

There were many types of artillery in the Ming Dynasty, and there were hundreds of them in total.

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, bronze cannons with bowl mouths were the most popular, with some pig iron cannons mixed in.

In the mid-term, there was money and food, and there were nearly a hundred types of artillery. They even invented fine steel cannons.

When wars became frequent in the late Ming Dynasty, the method of casting cannons using the lost wax method became popular in the world.

After Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang Town lost the suppression of powerful people. In addition, in order to control Pidao, Yuan Chonghuan deliberately divided the generals of Pidao and turned them against each other. The combat effectiveness of Dongjiang Town dropped sharply. Hou Jin saw the opportunity and immediately attacked Dongjiang Town.

As mentioned earlier, most of the military towns at this time made their own artillery.

There are also foundry craftsmen on the island.

It was this time that Hou Jin kidnapped craftsmen who could make cannons and mastered the lost wax method, and then mastered the manufacturing technology of Hongyi cannons. Later, because he was a "Dongyi", he changed the word "Yi" to "Yi". ", and then there was the red cannon.

The Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, which started out as slaves rebelling against their masters, was very taboo about this.

After all, someone can set off a major case of literary inquisition just for the sake of a beautiful and eternally famous poem "Qingfeng is illiterate, so why is he flipping through the book randomly"...

The "History of the Ming Dynasty" that others revised is full of errors and omissions. In order to beautify themselves, they deliberately recorded many cases of literary inquisition in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" in the Taizu volume. After research, there was only one case in which there was no evidence to prove that the records in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" were incorrect.

If later dynasties changed the history books of the previous dynasty for the sake of correctness of rule, they even changed the history books of the previous dynasties - "History of the Song Dynasty"...

Changing Yi to Yi is just a routine operation!

Ji Cao, don’t be surprised...

Let's talk about artillery.

The Ming Dynasty purchased Western shipwreck artillery, and then improved the Hongyi cannon, and there were more than a dozen types of them.

It even refers to the Folang machine gun and extends it to a musket with a belt, a rear-mounted general iron cannon for easy reloading...

Basic skills, don’t be six...

In the hands of the Qing Dynasty, the red cannons were repeatedly increased and reduced in weight. Whether it was the largest and mighty general of tens of thousands of kilograms, or the smallest of the red cannons of hundreds of kilograms, they were still essentially front-loading smoothbore cannons.

Don't mess with me, don't mess with me, just fuck...

Back to the battlefield...

The soldiers each carried a dozen tiger squatting cannons and placed them in the front yard.

Wang Guoxing looked at the squatting tiger cannons lined up in front of him, his face full of determination.

"The gunmen come forward, and each two tiger squatting cannons form a group. The former is loaded with single guns and blasts open the door panel of the intruder. The latter is loaded with loose guns. According to the gap opened, let me blast the thieves!"

Wang Guoxing gave the order and the soldiers got busy.

The Tiger Crouching Cannon is a front-loaded small cannon invented by Qi Jiguang. It has various specifications, most of which are less than [-] kilograms. It is a direct-fire weapon similar to a mortar.

Don't underestimate this thing, but it is a sharp weapon.

Because of its light weight, the gun mount and the gun body are integrated, so a soldier can run around on his back.

When you reach the position, you can launch it by putting it down.

It’s very convenient!

And because of the shooting angle, it is suitable for forest fighting, street fighting, field fighting and other complex terrains, so it is widely used in the military.

Generally speaking, during Qi Jiguang's time, there were three squatting tiger cannons for every five hundred sergeants.

During this period of the late Ming Dynasty, wars became more and more frequent, and practical tiger squatting artillery sprouted everywhere...

Wang Guoxing watched the soldiers first put two taels of gunpowder into the fire door, then weighed eight taels of gunpowder, poured it into the barrel, slowly tamped it down with a wooden hammer, and then put in a large iron ball weighing 30 taels, or It is 100 small iron balls weighing five cents.

After everything was ready, Wang Guoxing climbed up the wall and took a look.

I found Chuang Jun in the square in front of the Yamen, only thirty steps away from the gate!

"Open the corner door!"

Wang Guoxing roared angrily.

Some soldiers hurriedly ran to remove the top door bar and prepared to open the corner door.

The corner door is the small door next to the main door.

Wang Guoxing ordered the gunner: "Group two by two. After the door is opened, the single cannon will fire first, followed by the scattered cannon. After the two cannons are fired, quickly retreat and let the next group come in!"

"Remember, every group will aim at the enemy for me to hit!"

The gunners responded with a roar.

If it had been before yesterday, they would have been scared to death.

However, His Majesty summoned them last night and demonstrated to them the super cannon called "Heartless".

From that moment on, they didn’t panic!

Your Majesty said, if you want to build this thing, just build hundreds of them!

When the time comes, no matter how many troops there are, just one shot will go over - and what the hell...

"Squeak!"

The corner door, which lacked lubrication, slowly opened amidst the creaking and groaning of the doorpost.

……

The intruders outside the door were stunned. What kind of trouble did the Ming army cause?

Do you want to surrender?

Hey, not good!

The intruders in the front row saw through the gap in their shields that what appeared behind the door was the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Their expressions suddenly changed and they hurriedly shouted:

"Get out of the way, there's a cannon!"

As soon as the words came out, Chuang Jun around him still didn't understand what this roar meant...

It's already too late...

I saw two Ming army gunners manning a squatting tiger cannon. The two cannons were in a group, staggered back and forth.

As soon as one person put the cannon in place, the other person took out the red-hot iron drill from the charcoal basin and inserted it into the fire door.

The hot iron solder quickly ignited the two coins of igniting powder in the fire door.

"laugh!"

Through the small hole, the ignition powder ignited the firing powder at the bottom of the barrel.

"boom!"

A cannonball roared, sprayed out of the barrel, and hit the crowd of intruders.

"Boom!"

One of the straight door panels in the row was directly blown to pieces. The strong man carrying the door panel had his arms twisted into twists. Before he could scream in agony, he was torn into pieces by the unabated shells after smashing the door panel!

The hot iron ball, with the stench of burnt flesh and blood, killed more than a dozen people one after another. I don’t know where it bounced...

"Ah, help!"

"Ah, ah! My leg is broken!"

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

……

The injured Chuangjun wailed...

"The ones on both sides rush forward, and the ones in the middle run towards both sides..."

Before the commander of the military headquarters could finish his words, he saw another corner door also opened, and a bullet was fired into the crowd.

The shell shattered another door panel, plowing out an alley of flesh and blood in the dense crowd...

not good!

Get out of the way!

The department manager shouted anxiously and opened his mouth, but his throat was so tight that he couldn't speak.

In the previous corner door, the squatting tiger cannon that had just been fired was lifted up and moved away. The other squatting tiger cannon that had already been placed in place was slightly adjusted.

The red to incandescent iron drill was inserted into the fire door again...

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"
