Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

In the end, Qi Daguang could only nod and agreed to Mao Wenlong's method.

Soon, Qi Daguang spread his men to various places and began to quickly gather the people.

Then they quickly gathered on the outside along the city defenses in the two places.

In order to make the North Korean people more motivated, Mao Wenlong also gave out silver and grain as rewards for his work.

Coupled with the continuous exaggeration of the crisis facing North Korea.

For a time, the people around Pyongyang took the lead in taking action.

With the experience last time, digging trenches can be considered a familiar task.

And just when Mao Wenlong was quickly preparing for war.

The letter he sent also arrived in the capital two days later.

Looking at the letter on the desk, Zhu Youjian frowned and kept rubbing his forehead.

"Taizu, Huang Taiji and Japan have indeed taken action."

"It seems that they want to take advantage of the chaos to attack Mao Wenlong."

"This North Korea cannot be lost."

Huang Taiji and the Japanese pirates came as expected...

In an instant, Zhu Youjian felt full of pressure.

Especially now that Ming Dynasty is still in civil strife.

In a two-front war, the north must also prevent Mongolia from causing trouble.

The military strength is already somewhat stretched.

"calm."

"Why panic?"

"It's normal for Huang Taiji and Japanese pirates to attack."

"It would be a problem if they didn't come."

Li Chen saw that Zhu Youjian was a little panicked and quickly shouted to calm him down.

Since the rebellion in the south, a two-front war has basically become inevitable.

The worst thing is that he is afraid of a hammer.

"Yes, Taizu..."

"Then what do we do now."

"Do we need to send someone to support Mao Wenlong?"

Zhu Youjian took several deep breaths before suppressing the panic in his heart.

He asked with a frown as he looked at the map next to him.

"Who are you going to transfer?"

"How can the Ming Dynasty still have troops available?"

"We can only rely on Mao Wenlong and Qi Daguang to handle this matter."

Li Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this and was speechless.

Now the Ming Dynasty has even used its garrison.

How many troops are there to go to North Korea?

"That..."

"Just don't care?"

"The Japanese pirates have mobilized all the domestic troops. This is the rhythm of a decisive battle."

"There are a total of 50,000 people on their side. If they can't stop them, they will be in trouble."

Forehead...

Zhu Youjian's face became even more worried when he heard what Taizu said.

Originally, they didn't plan to start a war at all this year.

But things in the south completely disrupted everything.

Now, Ming Dynasty has no retreat.

"It won't work if I don't help at all."

"In this case, notify Xu Guangqi and ask him to quickly transfer the two thousand sacred fire guns and all the ammunition just made by the Ministry of Industry to Tianjin."

"There must be no mistake in ordering Zheng Zhilong to be responsible for the escort."

It is impossible to provide troops. Ming Dynasty also needs troops internally to maintain the situation.

Then we can only give Mao Wenlong support in equipment.

It just so happened that the Ministry of Industry's sacred fire guns had begun small-scale production, which could be used to target the dwarfs of Japan.

"Row."

"By the way, Taizu, the Ministry of Industry reported last week that the Shenwei General Cannon has been upgraded."

"How about transporting them there as well."

Divine fire gun?

Zhu Youjian nodded and seemed to think of something again and said quickly.

The Shenwei General Cannon, which the Ministry of Industry spent a lot of time upgrading, has also been tested.

Why don't you delay it?

"Ok?"

"What are the parameters?"

"Why are you telling us such an important thing now?"

The Shenwei General Cannon is also the Hongyi Cannon.

Li Chen attaches great importance to the upgrading of this thing.

After all, this was one of the most awesome artillery pieces in the world during the Ming Dynasty.

If it could be used for city defense on a large scale, Huang Taiji would be too exhausted to even think about entering the border!

"Well, there's so much going on that I forgot..."

"I am searching..."

"It seems to be here."

Zhu Youjian's face froze and he hurriedly turned over the desk.

Not long after, a small notebook was pulled out from the layers of folders.

"Improved Shenwei General Cannon..."

"The body length is three meters six, the weight is 5,600 kilograms (one ton in ancient times was two thousand kilograms), and the diameter is 150 millimeters (written directly in modern units for everyone's convenience)."

"A single shot requires ten kilograms of powder and twenty kilograms of ammunition."

"A variety of ammunition such as iron bullets, chain bullets, and blooming bullets can be used."

"The longest range can reach twelve miles."

"The cost of a single cannon is three thousand taels of silver."

"The average cost of ammunition is one hundred rounds and fifty taels of silver."

Silently read the contents on the brochure.

Li Chen clicked his tongue and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

Good guy, this price is really ridiculously expensive.

Based on the minimum of 300 shells for an artillery gun, the ammunition alone is 150 taels per gun.

Coupled with the consignment of horses and brackets, this nima left at the gate with four thousand taels.

"call..."

"How many artillery pieces does the Ministry of Industry have?"

"How's the ammo reserve?"

Although the price of this artillery is a bit staggering.

But I have to say that these parameters are worthy of the money.

After exhaling, Li Chen gritted his teeth and asked.

"The first batch of 30 units has been produced and tested."

"The ammunition reserve is somewhat insufficient. One gun can get about two hundred rounds of ammunition."

"After all, it has just been improved. The Ministry of Industry does not dare to mass-produce it without my permission."

Zhu Youjian thought for a while and gave a number.

Thirty doors...

Hearing this amount, Li Chen clicked his tongue and waved his hand.

"Then send them all to Mao Wenlong."

"Then order the Ministry of Industry to increase the production of explosive ammunition."

"We must ensure that Mao Wenlong has enough ammunition in his hands!"

"In addition, I wrote another letter to inform Mao Wenlong, saying that the court currently has no military support."

"Let him try his best to defend North Korea for us!"

"No matter the cost! No matter the cost!"

Thirty artillery pieces are of little use within the current Ming Dynasty.

After all, this thing cannot be used in field battles.

Giving it to Mao Wenlong is the most correct choice.

As long as North Korea can hold on, all the costs will be worth it!

"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."

"Well...there's one more thing."

"I want to rename this mighty general cannon."

Zhu Youjian nodded and wrote it down silently.

Then he frowned in embarrassment.

Change your name?

Li Chen looked strange after listening to what Zhu Youjian said.

The name Kamui General Cannon is not a good one.

What do you want to change?

"Tell me."

Zhu Youjian grinned when he heard this.

"This throne was passed down to me by my brother."

"So I want future generations to record more of my brother's existence."

"No, I'm thinking of renaming this cannon the Apocalypse Cannon!"

"It's a commemoration."

emmm....

Apocalypse Cannon....

The name Li Chen is really not a good one.

But looking at Zhu Youjian's expectant eyes.

Li Chen finally nodded and did not refuse.

"As you wish."

"It's just a name."

"The most important thing right now is to quickly transport the artillery to Mao Wenlong."

"Start quickly, don't waste time."
