Chapter 175: Mounted Muskets

Under Zhu Youlang's orders, early the next morning, Ding Siliang's envoy brought ten sharpshooters, all of whom were sharpshooters who walked through the field in a hundred steps.

"Your Majesty, these are marksmen." Ding Siliang pointed to the people behind him.

Zhu Youlang carefully looked at the people behind him: "Ling Fang Yizhi went straight to the shooting range." ”

After that, Zhu Youlang took the lead in a plain body, and Ding Siliang immediately sent a eunuch to pass the word to Fang Yizhi.

Half an hour later, Zhu Youlang was standing at the Ordnance Bureau's shooting range outside Guangzhou, while the 10 marksmen were all holding muskets and shooting at the target a hundred paces away.

After a few rounds in a row, the ten sharpshooters reported their experience to Ding Siliang.

"Your Majesty, ten of them think this gun is very good, compared to the arquebus, this gun has no rain, the charge is fast, and the shooting is no different."

Looking at this, Zhu Youlang took a closer look at this gun, and he thought of Xun Lei Gong at this time, which was a fixed charge and a rear load, and he must know that there was already a rear loading musket in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Ding Siliang say this, Fang Yizhi's heart was relieved, you must know that for the development of this gun, Zhu Youlang has repeatedly urged.

Zhu Youlang took this gun, looked at this gun, he sighed and said: "I look at the soldiers of the firearms battalion, and the back of the gun for the knife is close to the hand, it is really difficult to grasp the timing, I look at the pity, there is a gun with the same gun, the back is loaded with a knife, the battle is cast, and the enemy fights with a thorn. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang thought of the bayonets of later generations, and he pointed to the muzzle of the musket and said: "Loading a dagger of about ten inches here will not affect the use of lead, nor will it affect hand-to-hand combat." ”

After that, Zhu Youlang looked at Fang Yizhi, who was thinking with a face: "Ten days, can Qing let me see the real thing?" ”

Fang Yizhi came back to his senses, looking at the tap musket in Zhu Youlang's hand, he gritted his teeth and said, "Weichen does his best." ”

"Wrong." Zhu Youlang looked away and said: "It's not about trying your best, but you must do it." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang beckoned to Ding Siliang on the side and said: "Pass the decree, let the Ordnance Bureau fully cooperate with Fang Aiqing, ten days later, Zhu Youlang will see a new style of musket, and in a month, my personal guards will be equipped with this musket."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Yizhi said with a firm face.

Zhu Youlang nodded slightly: "Convey the decree to the cabinet, do your best to cooperate, and be sure that after a month, the six guards will be equipped with this gun." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After understanding the details of this gun, Zhu Youlang understood the optimization of the weapon one by one, especially the formula power of gunpowder, etc., and more importantly, Zhu Youlang put forward a lot of advanced concepts, especially the problem of rear-loading and fixed ammunition of the Buddha wolf machine.

Just when Zhu Youlang was on his way, Zhu Youlang received a report from Quan Weiguo that Li Chengdong had already made up his mind for Annam with the cooperation of the naval division and the southern Zhangzhan and Siam countries, and north of Thanh Hoa, with the full cooperation of the court and the court, the people had been enriched, and the guard system had also begun to rebuild the military register.

As long as Zhu Youlang gave an order, the guard system could be established in Annam, but what made Zhu Youlang unhappy was that when Zhu Youlang instructed the Ministry of Industry to start discussing the road construction plan, there was no news until now.

"Your Majesty." Seeing Zhu Youlang's deep voice, Quan Weiguo reminded unintentionally: "Li Chengdong hopes to return to the dynasty." ”

Zhu Youlang looked at Quan Weiguo carefully, and said with a slight dissatisfaction: "It seems that your Dongchang has made a lot of profits by relying on Li Chengdong in Annan."

When Quan Weiguo heard this, he knelt down in front of Zhu Youlang with a pale face and said in a mournful voice: "Your Majesty, the slaves know what they do, and they will never dare to spoil Your Majesty's business." ”

Zhu Youlang looked at Quan Weiguo with an expressionless face: "Don't recruit eunuchs, even if it's from other countries, don't do it, there are enough eunuchs."

"Your Majesty, how can the Son of Heaven have no servants, besides, it is a blessing for a slave to be able to do things for Your Majesty." All for the country to be careful and hopeful.

Zhu Youlang looked away and sighed: "The system of eunuchs is out of harmony, the country is in turmoil, the eunuchs are recruited for the time being, anyway, there are too many eunuchs in Dongchang now."

"Your Majesty, this is also to do things better for Your Majesty." It's all for the country.

Zhu Youlang sighed again and again, and after a while, Zhu Youlang said with a righteous face: "Let the Cabinet Governor's Office and the Ministry of War do things according to the plan, whether it is the guard or the relocation of the people, they must be fast, especially those military dependents, it is preferable to relocate."

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty." Seeing that Zhu Youlang did not mention Li Chengdong's matter, Quan Weiguo once again explained: "Your Majesty, Li Chengdong is a general of the expedition to Annan, if he stays in Annan, I am afraid that the court will be uneasy, and besides, this is his own wish, and the slave proposed it for His Majesty's consideration."

Zhu Youlang waved his hand lightly: "Order him to temporarily stay in the south of Annan, and cooperate with the cabinet and Plug Yinxi to complete the construction of the guard system." ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang's voice said coldly: "If you want him to recruit Annan Zhuangding, the more the better, when he has recruited enough, and can build his road to Erguangyun and Guifu Prefecture, then he can come back."

In fact, he also understands why the Ministry of Industry can't put forward reasonable suggestions as Zhu Youlang wishes, but because the proposal costs a lot, in the heated discussion of the court, the Ministry of Industry chose to procrastinate the word.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, Dongchang will definitely cooperate with General Li Chengdong's conquest of Zhuangding." All those who understood it were excited about the country.

"Go ahead." Zhu Youlang said softly.

After all the country left, Zhu Youlang immediately beckoned to Ding Siliang: "Let Wang Xing, Yu Long, Jiao Lian and the three come over." ”

At this time, Zhu Youlang was thinking that the three guards were pure firearms, and Zhu Youlang was still feeling that he would pilot it first and then promote it after repeated decisions.

Half an hour later, Wang Xing, Yu Long, and Jiao Lian knelt in front of Zhu Youlang.

"If I don't meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

"No need to be polite." Zhu Youlang raised his hand and said.

When the three of them were together, under Zhu Youlang's signal, Ding Siliang immediately came to Zhu Youlang's left with three wooden chairs.

"Sit down and talk." Zhu Youlang pointed to the chair and said.

The three of them did it for a while, and Ding Siliang immediately handed over a musket each.

"This is the self-generated musket contained in the artifact spectrum, also known as the self-generated musket, this gun does not rain or wind, it is lighter than the turtledove, and the power is slightly smaller, but it can be lethal within a hundred steps, and the charge is fast and convenient."

Hearing this, the three of them all played with the gun with a shocked expression.

"Your Majesty, this gun can be reloaded for the army." After a while, Jiao Lian looked at Zhu Youlang with excitement.

Zhu Youlang nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I am preparing to change into the army, and it is also your three guards who are the first to change clothes." ”

When the three of them heard this, they immediately knelt down excitedly and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Longen."

"You don't have to rejoice too soon." Zhu Youlang said expressionlessly, "In the future, all of you Sanwei will be equipped with this gun, no longer holding swords and sticks, and all of you will hold this gun." ”

When the three of them heard this, their faces were shocked, but before they could speak, Zhu Youlang's voice sounded again.

"You have ten days to get familiar with this gun, ten days later, you three guards will change this gun, you have a month of training, and after a month, I will try your quality." Read the latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
