"See Hunting Heart? Your Majesty, this is no joke! How can the cannon, the heavy weapon of the country, be easily used? What's more, in this imperial city? ”

"You know, the cannon shot just now made many ministers think that there was a mutiny! Almost, there was a big mess! ”

"Not really......" Emperor Zhengde whispered.

"How not? Hasn't Your Majesty heard the story of the 'Beacon Opera Princes'? What is the difference between the cannon sound of this imperial city and the beacon fire lit by King Zhou You? ”

"The minister is sure that at this time, many civil and military generals in Beijing are thinking of coming to the rescue, and I ask Your Majesty to send someone to comfort the ministers as soon as possible, otherwise, there will be chaos in Beijing."

"If such a thing happens many times, it will inevitably be like King Zhou You, if there is a real traitor who rebels with a cannon, no one will pay attention to it at that time......" Wang Wei exerted the combat power of Wang Da Troll, spraying the little emperor hard. As for Li Dongyang, the rank of the spray was not enough, so he simply became Wang Wei's cheerleader. Although he is tactful, he still firmly supports Wang Wei on this issue.

Half a day later, the little emperor's face was full of Wang Wei's saliva. On the contrary, the little emperor who made a mistake still can't have a seizure. Liu Jin looked at it, hurriedly took out a handkerchief, and knelt forward to wipe the little emperor's face.

Then, Wang Troll suddenly found a new target:

"You eunuch, you must have bewitched Your Majesty into firing a cannon in the imperial city! Your Majesty, please punish this thief! ”

Although the little emperor is messing around, he is still very righteous. Moreover, this matter was indeed a decision made by himself, and Liu Jin had persuaded him before. So, he waved his hand and said:

"Elder Wang Ge, this matter has nothing to do with Lao Liu, I insisted on testing the cannon here. However, after listening to Wang Ge's teachings, I also repented. Therefore, I decided to move the place of the artillery test to the camp in Xishan. It was sparsely populated, just right for testing guns. ”

"You still test ......"

"Wang Ge Lao ......" is virtuous and colorful.

"Don't you see how good this cannon is? Daming firearms are not as good as barbarians, but they are the shame of my Daming. Therefore, I decided to imitate this cannon, which can be regarded as strengthening the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and safeguarding the safety of the world, is this wrong? Tomorrow morning, I decided to go to the camp in Xishan to continue testing the artillery. In addition, I will bring the officials and craftsmen in charge of making guns and cannons from the Inner Court Military Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, so that they can have a good look at them, so that they can learn how to make these two sharp firearms. If the Ming Dynasty also made these two sharp firearms, it would definitely be able to strengthen the ......army," Emperor Zhengde said with a serious face. Although the bear child is a little nonsense, he is not an unreasonable person.

When this truth was spoken, Wang Wei was also deeply shocked. After being silent for a while, Wang Wei suddenly said:

"Then, Your Majesty, go to the camp in Xishan tomorrow, please bring your ministers to ...... together"

Then, Wang Da Troll, a military fan, temporarily died down...... And the bear child also realized his mistake and hurriedly sent his subordinates to Beijing to refute the rumors everywhere, so as not to panic......

……

But that's not the end of the story. The next morning, the trolls of the Manchu Dynasty were excited. Wang Troll's flag has stopped, but Mao Troll's Mao Cheng is still there......

Then, a large group of civil officials who claimed to be loyal ministers led by Mao Cheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, took turns to go into battle and sprayed the bad behavior of the little emperor firing cannons in the imperial city.

However, the bear child is also a hob meat. In the early period of Emperor Zhengde's reign, that is, when his authority had not yet been established, Xiong Zi's trick to deal with his ministers was to resolutely admit his mistakes and die without repentance......

That is, on the surface, the attitude of admitting mistakes is very good, but in a blink of an eye, all the admonitions are forgotten......

Of course, the bear child is not confused in major matters. It was also his impulse to fire in the imperial city before, and after this time, he would definitely not make such a mistake again. Otherwise, it will definitely be sprayed again.

In this way, the morning of the next day was spent in the wave of ministers forming a group to spray the little emperor. Fortunately, the little emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, far away from the ministers. If he gets too close, the saliva of the ministers will probably drown him......

……

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Emperor Zhengde had lunch first. After the lunch break, he sent people directly to the Ministry of Industry, informing the officials of the Ordnance Bureau who were responsible for making guns and cannons and the best craftsmen who made and cast guns, and went to the camp in Xishan together with the eunuchs in charge of gun manufacturing and the most outstanding craftsmen in the inner court. Of course, Wang Troll also went with him......

The camp in Xishan is in the mountains, and at this time it is extremely empty, and you can shoot as many cannons as you want, and you don't have to worry about disturbing the people. Because, there are no people here at all.

Therefore, Zhengde played bigger, letting the 40 bronze cannons line up and bang hard. As a result, the ground shook and the scene was spectacular...... Although it did not flatten the hill as the artillery training in later generations, it also smashed many trees in the woods in front of the shooting range......

"It's a sharp weapon! The rate of fire is still fast! Military fan Wang Wei stroked his beard and exclaimed.

"So, can I make it?" Emperor Zhengde asked the officials and eunuchs of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Military War Bureau of the Inner Court with a serious face.

Then, the officials of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the eunuchs of the Inner Court Military War Bureau called their skilled craftsmen to ask if they could do it.

The veteran craftsmen got together and discussed for a while, and then replied:

"Yes, but it is more difficult to fit the letters, and the scrap rate may be high......"

In ancient China, there was no uniform standard for craftsmen, and there was no vernier caliper to strictly control the size of the product. So, casting guns kind of follow the feeling. But this also creates a difference in the caliber of the guns.

Marin popularized vernier calipers in Beihai early and developed a strict quality inspection system. People are forced out, and the promotion of vernier calipers has enabled craftsmen to process more precise components.

For example, the letter gun of the Fran cannon. It may be easy to make it alone, but it is very difficult to create a very suitable letter gun (that is, the child gun and the mother gun fit well and do not leak much). Because, the Ministry of Industry of Daming did not formulate strict production standards, and there was no vernier caliper. Therefore, craftsmen say that it is difficult to make a matching letter gun, and the scrap rate is high......

In fact, the Franc cannon was finally replaced by the front-loading Hongyi cannon in the Ming Dynasty, because the fit between the letters of the Franc cannon made by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty was too poor, resulting in serious air leakage, which greatly affected the range and power of the Franc cannon. As for the front-loading cannon of the Hongyi cannon, the gun body is integrated, and naturally there is no air leakage. Of course, the hole in the fuse doesn't count, it's a must......

……

Then there was the test arquebus, and in the same way, Zhengde had 500 arquebuses used together, in three rows, using three shots......

How shocking is the use of 3-stage shots for 500 arquebuses? Far from being comparable to the performances of several arquebuses. Wang Wei, who understands military affairs, can be sure - no matter how high your martial arts are, under such a dense number of bullets, it will be difficult to escape. Unless, on the other side is the cavalry......

In fact, the cavalry that rushed to the front was not immune to the blows of the arquebus. However, the cavalry is fast, and after sacrificing the cannon fodder cavalry that rushed to the front, the cavalry that rushed up behind could rush into the musketeer formation and slash the musketeers at will......

This was what the later Manchus did. The Qing army also knew that in the face of the Ming army's three-stage attack, the Qing cavalry in the front row would definitely be difficult to resist. Therefore, they came up with a way - before each major war, they sent troops to the deep mountains and old forests in the northeast to capture the wild Jurchen (in fact, they are wild men, and the ghost knows which nationality). Then, after subduing the savages, he provided them with equipment and horses, and fooled them into charging forward to block the guns and bullets of the Ming army's three-stage attack......

The savages were stupid, and as soon as they were fooled by the Manchurians, they thought they were hanging, and then charged forward, blocking the bullets for the real Qing army...... Of course, those savages who survived by luck also became an important force in the Qing army......

When the real Qing army rushed into the Ming army's musketeer formation, then it could be slashed and killed. After all, before the advent of the bayonet, the musketeers were the ones who gave heads to the rushing cavalry......

……

However, the North Sea Kingdom clearly thought of this. Therefore, along with this batch of arquebuses, there were some horse-repelling ones that were specifically prepared for cavalry charges.

According to Marin's design, after the musketeers are arrayed, they first throw the rejection horse in front, and then they are ready to shoot......

In fact, this is just a simplified version. The full version of Marin's true anti-cavalry charge is that in addition to repelling the horse, he will also throw strings of zama nails (tied in strings to facilitate retraction...... In addition to this, one or two trenches are dug and filled with sharp piles......

Horses are rejected, horses are nailed, and trenches are filled with sharp piles...... This formation is simply a cavalry nemesis......

Of course, the only thing that was taught to the Ming Dynasty was to use the trick of rejecting the horse, but this was more than enough......

To try out the power of the arquebus, it is natural to ask if it can be imitated.

However, after the ace craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Court Military War Bureau got together to discuss, they actually said that the long barrel was very difficult to make......

The arquebus manufacturing technology of the Ming Dynasty was actually imported by the Portuguese, otherwise, it is unlikely that they would have been qualified to land and do business in Macao just by bribing the officials of the two provinces. It was because of the bribes, coupled with the active supply of the technology for the manufacture of Franc cannons and arquebuses, that they gained the right to do business in Macao. Therefore, before this, the Ming Dynasty did not have the technology to make elongated barrels. At present, the three-eyed guns and artillery guns popular in the Ming army are particularly short and thick. Therefore, how to imitate the arquebus, on the contrary, is more difficult than the Furlong cannon......

"This ...... No one cares about me in the Celestial Empire? Can't even make a musket? "The bear child was a little dumbfounded, and his self-confidence also suffered.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The next time the envoys of the Beihai Kingdom come back, we will allow them to pay tribute. Of course, the premise is that they provide craftsmen, and teach Ming craftsmen to learn how to make slender barrels...... "Wang Wei suggested.

"That's it, that's the only way to ......"
