Chapter 63 Open a small stove for Zhu Yunxi
"Woo Woo Woo ~ " The three rows of soldiers took turns to move forward, the flintlock pistols in their hands kept ringing, the reloading and shooting were very smooth, the speed of shooting was almost doubled compared to before, and the scarecrow in front of him as a target was mutilated by the bullets, and some simply fell to the ground.
And after the musketeers approached these targets, suddenly the last row rushed out of a group of soldiers, and one grenade after another was thrown in front, only to hear the sound of "boom boom" explosion, after the smoke passed, the target in front of it had completely turned into fragments.
"Good!" A middle-aged man in front of Mu Sheng saw this, and he also shouted excitedly, his face was full of excitement, he was Xiping Marquis Mu Ying, who had just come to the capital this morning.
I saw that Mu Ying was of medium stature, but she was very strong, with a square face and a wide forehead, a pair of big eyes that were bright and bright, and a short beard under her chin, and her face was flushed with excitement at this time, looking like she had drunk a few catties of old wine.
"Sheng'er, you're doing a good job, this musketeer is already much stronger than my men!" Mu Ying immediately turned around and looked at her son with admiration.
"Thank you for my father's compliment, but my subordinates are only relying on the use of new firearms, if it is in actual combat, it is far from being comparable to my father's hundred battles!" Mu Sheng was also excited, but he still had to try his best to keep a modest expression.
"Brother Mu, congratulations on having an outstanding son!" At this time, Zhu Biao next to him also walked forward with a smile.
"Haha~, His Royal Highness laughed, although Sheng'er is good, if he didn't have these flintlock pistols provided by the imperial court, he wouldn't be able to do this!" Mu Ying also stroked his beard and laughed at this time, and then he asked again with concern, "Your Highness, when will this flintlock pistol be equipped with us in Yunnan?" ”
"Then you have to ask Li Ban to read!" Zhu Biao said, stretching out his hand and pointing to Li Jiedao, who was explaining the musket to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi not far away.
Looking at such a young Li Jie, Mu Ying still couldn't believe that he was the one who improved gunpowder and invented the flintlock pistol.
"Li Banyu, this musket is too powerful, can you give me one?" Zhu Yunxi's excited little face flushed, and he clenched his fists and asked Li Jie, since the musket rang out just now, his whole person was in a state of excitement, and he even wanted to fire a few shots in person.
"Soldiers, murder weapons, if you want a musket, you are not afraid of hurting yourself?" Without waiting for Li Jie to answer, Zhu Yunwen next to him gave his younger brother a blank look.
"I ...... I do, just because you don't like it doesn't mean I don't! Zhu Yunxi refuted Zhu Yunwen very rarely, you must know that he has always been timid, and he is not as good as Zhu Yunwen in his studies, so he is still a little in awe of Zhu Yunwen, unless the other party wants to rob him of his sister, otherwise he will not conflict with Zhu Yunwen.
"You...... Unreasonable! Zhu Yunxi didn't expect his younger brother to be angry at him, and he was a little annoyed at the moment, but in front of so many people, he didn't dare to scold, so he had to flick his sleeves away from Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Highness, don't think about the musket, such a dangerous thing, even if I agree, the prince will not let you bring it back to the palace." Li Jie also replied with a smile at this time, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to become interested in military affairs.
At this moment, Mu Ying also strode over and arched his hand to Li Jie and said, "Li Banyu, I don't know what the production of these flintlock guns is, when will the original arquebus be replaced?" ”
Li Jie also had great respect for Mu Ying, and immediately replied: "Qiqi Xiping Hou, flintlock pistols have begun to be manufactured on a large scale, but the output is still limited, and Your Majesty means to equip the border army in the north first, and it may be later in the south." ”
Zhu Yuanzhang himself is an excellent military commander, he clearly knows that the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty is still in the northern grasslands, even if the remnants of Mengyuan have been beaten by the Ming army, but still cannot be taken lightly, so militarily he will try to tilt to the north.
"The military in the north is tight, but we are not easy in the south, especially those natives, from time to time there will be a few rebellions, they have no cavalry, muskets are very lethal to them, if our army is equipped with flintlock pistols, we will definitely be able to quell the rebellion, and Yunnan can settle down as soon as possible!" Mu Ying also sighed at the end.
It is not easy to say that Mu Ying, because Yunnan is located in the borderland, the Tang and Song dynasties in history were very weak in the rule here, not to mention the Yuan Dynasty, after the Ming Dynasty was defeated, many local people were unwilling to surrender, Mu Ying suppressed Yunnan with the power of an army, and had to govern the place, which can be described as a high degree of hard work, which is also the main reason why he was able to be crowned king after his death.
"Brother Mu, Li Jie can't be the master of this kind of thing, it's better like this, let's go to see my father in two days, and ask my father to send a batch of flintlock pistols to Yunnan first." Zhu Biao also stepped forward to comfort at this time.
"That's all there is to it!" Mu Ying also nodded when he heard this, and then he looked at Li Jie with some curiosity and asked, "When I came, I heard Li Ban read a big ball, and it flew into the sky, I don't know where the big ball is, can I see it?" ”
"This is easy to do, the hot air balloon is in the Ordnance Bureau, we broke it when we landed before, and it is being repaired in the past few days." Li Jie immediately smiled, he knew that the other party would be interested in hot air balloons, even if Mu Ying didn't say it, Zhu Biao would definitely mention it.
Sure enough, Zhu Biao next to him also high-fived when he heard this: "I have long wanted to see this hot air balloon, let's go!" ”
Hearing that he was going to see the hot air balloon, Zhu Yunxi was even more excited, and even Zhu Yunxi showed an interested expression at this time, and quietly followed behind his father, but Mu Sheng didn't say anything, because when Li controlled the hot air balloon, he also asked him to help him, so he was also the first batch of insiders.
At that moment, Li Jie took Zhu Biao, Mu Ying and others into the Ordnance Bureau, and Li Zhu already knew that they were coming, so he also personally guided Zhu Biao and them, and by the way, he also introduced them to the Ordnance Bureau.
The last group of people came to the place where the hot air balloon was made, but only to see Yuan Jianzheng and Ma Hama, Guo Zhenglin and other officials of the Qin Tianjian led the crowd out to salute Zhu Biao, since that day of flying, their officials of the Qin Tiansi all ran to the Ordnance Bureau, and personally participated in the maintenance of the hot air balloon, one is to learn the manufacture of hot air balloons, and the other is to wait for the hot air balloon to be repaired and go to the sky again.
When Li Jie took Zhu Biao and they saw the hot air balloon, they only saw the hot air balloon that had been dismantled into parts, because the last landing was too hard, not only the airbag broke a few big holes, but the most critical burner was even more scattered, and the hanging basket could not be used, so it would take a while to repair.
However, although the hot air balloon was broken, Li Jie was still prepared, because he had made several models of hot air balloons before, and he could also fly when he lit the fire, Li Jie explained the principle of the hot air balloon to everyone with his appearance, as well as some of the things he saw when he flew into the sky, which also made Zhu Biao and others feel that their eyes were wide open and they learned a lot of things.
Li Jie also kept paying attention to Zhu Yunxi when he was explaining, and found that the little guy's eyes were glowing when he looked at the hot air balloon, and he was very attentive when listening to his explanation. In fact, not only him, but even Zhu Yunwen is also very interested in hot air balloons, after all, children are full of curiosity in the world, and hot air balloons can take people to the sky, which will certainly arouse their interest.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi's performance, Li Jie finally put his mind at ease, this kid is at least saved, as for Zhu Yunxi next to him, although his performance is no worse than Zhu Yunxi, but it's a pity that Li Jie has given up on him in his heart, so Li Jie is only going to open a small stove for Zhu Yunxi next, who will let the family have a sister?
