I don't know when it started, and a small script began to circulate in the officialdom of the capital.

The name of the script is very straightforward, it is called "Donglin Point General Record". This remark is rumored to have been compiled by Wang Shaohui, the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital. The content is to arrange the Donglin Party members in the sequence of Water Margin 108, and even attach various nicknames.

"Hehe, that's funny." Looking at those familiar nicknames, Zhu Youzhen laughed heartlessly.

Unexpectedly, in this era, the Water Margin has spread so widely and deeply in the hearts of the people. Sure enough, the temptation of banned books is great!

That's right, isn't Water Margin a banned book?

This discovery made Zhu Youzhen very puzzled.

In the memory of his previous life, hasn't the Water Margin always been a banned book, and it was strictly forbidden to circulate in the Ming and Qing dynasties?

Why did the imperial envoy of the imperial court dare to blatantly promote the banned book?

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out.

Not only for the Water Margin, but also for the Donglin ranking in the dialogue book, Zhu Youzhen was also a little puzzled.

What about Gu Xiancheng? How could this recognized Donglin Chuangfang boss not be listed among them. On the contrary, it was the little-known Li Sancai who occupied the top spot of the Tota Heavenly King.

Who is this Li Sancai?

According to the marked official position, Li Sancai is obviously inferior to Yu Ye Xiang Gao and Jade Qilin Zhao Nanxing. He is not the founder, does the Donglin Party hide a super boss. Zhu Youzhen was really curious.

Curiosity is curiosity, Zhu Youzhen doesn't have time to think about these bullshit things in the imperial court now. The rumors forced the junior team to directly enter Xifengkou, which seriously disrupted Zhu Youzhen's plan.

Zhu Youzhen knows very well that the current junior team is not complete. Today's junior teams are woefully lacking in the means to deal with long-range attacks. If there is a real conflict, in the face of horse thieves who are good at bows and arrows in the grassland, even if the youth team is not wiped out, there will definitely be great casualties.

It is not easy to train the junior team, and Zhu Youzhen doesn't want to be buried in vain.

How powerful are bows and arrows in this era?

Xinwangfu, martial arts field

"On the battlefield, this kind of foot bow is commonly used by the Houjin Tartars." Zhang Yunyi held a horned bow in his hand and showed it to Zhu Youzhen.

According to the division of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of bow belongs to the 1.5 stone strong bow. With armor-piercing arrows, it can shoot through heavy armor within 50 steps.

As for the bow that is stronger than this one, it is all special equipment owned by individuals, and they are all small quantities.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yunyi paused, his face darkened, and continued: "Your Highness, the Tartar marksmen generally use strong bows of more than 2 stones. Their range and lethality are greater than that. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to this, he asked nervously: "How far can this kind of bow cause damage to people without armor?" ”

"No armor?" Zhang Yunyi thought for a moment and said affirmatively: "If you use light arrows instead, you can cause damage within 100 steps." Although it is not seriously injured, it can definitely get into the flesh for a few points. ”

"What about the back shot?" Zhu Youzhen asked again.

"Shoot from the back?" The corners of Zhang Yunyi's mouth twitched, and he seemed to smile, "Your Highness, the 100 steps you said is the elevation distance." No matter how far it goes, even if it is shot upward, it will not have any power. ”

"Oh," Zhu Youzhen's face was slightly red, he had always thought that the effective distance of the upward shot would be much greater than that of the flat shot, but he didn't expect to make a big joke.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's embarrassment, Zhang Yunyi explained kindly: "Your Highness, the upward shot is farther than the flat shot, but the distance that can really cause damage is not much more. ”

"Then what kind of protective gear do you need to equip to deal with this kind of upward shooting?" Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but ask.

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Youzhen regretted it a little, and now the most important thing is to consider the practical problems faced by the junior team. Bows and arrows shoot upwards, and they shouldn't encounter skirmishes, right?

"Oh, Yunyi, how do you think the youth team at Xifengkou should deal with the Mongolian archers?" Zhu Youzhen simply asked directly.

Just as he believed in the words of His Royal Highness the King, Zhang Yunyi, who was excited and careful with his liver puffing, came back to his senses at once. In his mind, however, he was still recalling the previous question of His Royal Highness King Xin.

His Highness really saw the weakness of the boy team, and he wanted to make up for it. If you want to deal with a bow and arrow backfire, it's too easy.

"To deal with arrows falling from the back of a bow, you only need to put on a simple armor. The hit rate of the back shot is not high. As long as you can suppress the opponent's archers, prevent them from firing wantonly, and don't cause your own team to be overly afraid, there is no big problem. Zhang Yunyi opened his mouth to say the previous question.

"Your Highness, archers are not the point. The most important thing to deal with the Houjin Tartars is to break their heavy armor. As long as there is no cover of heavy armor, no matter what kind of tartar is easy to kill. Zhang Yunyi exclaimed excitedly.

Seeing Zhu Youzhen's surprised face, Zhang Yunyi realized that he had lost his temper.

For 6 years, Zhang Yunyi has been simulating the fight against Houjin Tatar in his heart, which has become his biggest heart disease.

Listening to Zhang Yunyi's excited shout, Zhu Youzhen understood his thoughts very well.

Breaking the post-Jin heavy armor, this is something that Zhu Youzhen has been exploring.

Didn't Houjin rely on elite heavy armor as a blood cow, meat shield, and MT?

Bullying me Daming's output is too weak?

As long as my output is my output, I can easily kill your blood cow, and your formation will not collapse.

Well, compared to the archers of the Tartars, the main output of Da Ming is really too weak now.

By the way, the tunnel pistol I found has been given to my eldest brother for a few months, and I don't know if I have made it?

Thinking of the epoch-making flintlock pistol, Zhu Youzhen couldn't sit still anymore, he dropped Zhang Yunyi and rushed to the palace.

"Big brother, have you made that kind of musket?"

As soon as he rushed into Changchun Palace, Zhu Youzhen asked anxiously.

"I've made a shot." Zhu Youxiao complained with a smile, "Xiao Wu, the musket mechanism you designed is too fine, and it is really not easy for craftsmen to build it?" ”

"Done? Have you tried the gun? Zhu Youzhen pretended not to hear Zhu Youxiao's complaints.

"Try," Zhu Youxiao stopped teasing Xiao Wu, and his face became serious.

"Little Wu, the power of your gun is really not small. About 100 steps can easily penetrate the cotton armor; About 60 steps can penetrate the iron armor; 30 steps to penetrate double layers of iron armor. With this power, even those Tartars with three layers of armor you mentioned can be killed with one shot in about 30 steps. ”

"Militaristic weapons!" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but admire.

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't help urging: "Since it's easy to use, then big brother, why don't you hurry up and give an order, let the craftsmen start to make it." ”

Zhu Youxiao's face fell: "Alas, Xiao Wu, your gun is very powerful, but it is too troublesome to make." It took nearly 2 months for 5 masters to make such a shot. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at the stunned Zhu Youzhen and continued to hit him: "You calculate, how much time does it take for a master craftsman to make a musket that is enough for Liaodong?" ”

5 masters, 2 months to make a gun, is there a mistake? Daming's production capacity is so poor.

There is no need to make careful calculations, and Zhu Youzhen also knows that according to the production capacity of one gun in two months, this gun does not have actual combat capability at all.

Daming's production capacity shouldn't be so bad, right?
