Chapter 261: The Idea of a Powder Gun
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, where are you?"
"Your Majesty! You're all right! ”
The guards on the side turned white with fright, and shouted loudly around the artillery.
"Ahem! Don't curse me! Suddenly, there was a weak groan from under the artillery, and Li Yan hurriedly walked over, squatted under the artillery and dragged Zhu Houzhao out.
"Tsk! The power of this cannon is so great that I was shocked to the bottom when I lay on it! Zhu Houzhao came out from under the artillery, puffed out a puff of black smoke from his mouth, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, and praised Li Yan.
"Your Majesty feels that the power of artillery is infinite?"
Li Yan blinked his eyes and asked.
"That's natural, if my Ming border army is all equipped with artillery, won't it directly sweep around him? Li Yan, what do you think of this artillery? Zhu Houzhao asked, quite fascinated.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this issue should not be discussed now." Li Yan waved his hand.
"Huh? Why is this, didn't I just blow you up, and you still hold a grudge? Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and glanced at Li Yan with disdain.
"I didn't say you, I didn't blow you up, aren't you okay? A dignified seven-foot man still cares about this? Zhu Houzhao despised Li Yan more and more.
"Your Majesty, you didn't blow up the minister just now, but you blew up Gonggong Liu, it is estimated that if you talk about it for a while, maybe Gonggong Liu will laugh at Jiuquan." Li Yan's face darkened, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then pointed not far away.
Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao's face was embarrassed, and he immediately ran to the side of Li Yan's finger.
"Liu Jin, you old slave! Where have you gone? Zhu Houzhao shouted anxiously.
"Your Majesty...... The minions are here......" In a big pit that was obviously blown up, Liu Jin's weak voice came.
"Quick! Rescue Liu Jin! Zhu Houzhao commanded several guards to drag Liu Jin out of the dirt pit.
"Your Majesty, when you have time in the future, you will go out shopping, artillery...... You can't play with it! The first moment he was pulled out, Liu Jin wanted to cry without tears, crying bitterly about Zhu Houzhao's tragic deeds.
……
…………
Zhu Houzhao wanted to test the power of the artillery to see if he could equip the border army, but something went wrong, and Liu Jin was bombarded by mistake.
As for equipping the border army with artillery, Zhu Houzhao discussed it with Li Yan, but Li Yan didn't say a word, and after giving Zhu Houzhao an abacus and calculating the silver in the treasury, Zhu Houzhao dispelled this idea stupidly.
…… Doesn't it have to be dispelled, with the consumption rate of the Hongyi cannon, the treasury may be empty without a few battles.
"Alas...... Why am I so innocent, I can't do anything I want to do! Zhu Houzhao rubbed his brain, and said a little lonely, a little arrogant.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, Li Yan cast a pitying look, Zhu Houzhao is good anywhere, but he is too naïve.
"Your Majesty, although this Hongyi cannon is a good thing, it can only be used for large-scale wars, and the weight of this Hongyi cannon is too large, and the concealment and mobility of the army will be greatly reduced, so if it is a large-scale production of Hongyi cannons, the minister thinks it is not very reasonable." Li Yan said.
"That? How many Hongyi cannons can we make? Zhu Houzhao suddenly became excited, and then drew the drawings.
Hearing this, Li Yan's face turned dark...... Also Hongyi small cannon, why don't you make a few small steel cannons, it's convenient and easy to use, invincible at critical moments, whether it's a war against others or a war against women, you will definitely win!
"Your Majesty, I think we should still strengthen the scale of the Shenji Battalion, now that Western countries have begun to use gunpowder guns, compared to gunpowder guns, my Ming gun's gunners have fallen a little behind, and gunpowder guns have a longer range, lighter, and more realistic than bows and arrows."
"Gunpowder guns? What is that? Li Yanzhen found out how do you understand so many things? Zhu Houzhao glanced at Li Yan curiously.
"It's ...... The saint told me! Li Yan began to quibble.
"Saint...... Still know about things in the West? Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded.
"Of course, the sage knows everything, and he told me that there is a country in the West called Brazil, where people have black skin!" Li Yan replied casually.
"What? Black? Don't they wash their faces all their lives? Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and then shuddered.
"Those barbarians are really not as good as our country of indoctrination." Zhu Houzhao muttered to himself.
"Hey, Li Yan, I heard that you brought your father-in-law to the capital?" I don't know what I remembered, Zhu Houzhao suddenly asked.
"Well, the minister's father-in-law was impeached by that group of ministers in Nanjing, and there was no unwarranted disaster, so the minister found a place to stuff the minister's father-in-law in, and at that time, there was also a person among the civil officials who spoke for His Majesty and the ministers." Li Yan said.
"Well, this is good, just do it, when the time comes, you must tell your father-in-law to make a good eyeliner, and I will definitely reward him heavily when the time comes!" Zhu Houzhao immediately came to the spirit.
"The matter of Wang Yue last time has been resolved, these blind civil officials should not make any more moves for a while, Li Yan, don't take it too lightly, maybe they are holding back something bad, according to me, you shouldn't have let Liu Jian and Xie Qian go so easily at that time, as if they thought we had softened." Zhu Houzhao picked up a piece of pastry casually, stuffed it into his mouth, and complained vaguely.
Hearing this, Li Yan was dumbfounded, looked at Zhu Houzhao, and shook his head.
Li Yan didn't think about using Liu Jian and Xie Qian as a sample, so that those ministers could also see their own methods, but later Li Yan thought that Li Dongyang would definitely intercede, and Li Yan also happened to sell him a favor and give Sun Mao an official position.
Moreover, arranging Sun Mao in the military department, Li Yan is not without other ideas, because Li Yan is going to start the governance of the army in the next step, and with Sun Mao speaking to himself inside, it must be much easier for him to do things himself.
In the past few days, Li Yan has given Zhao Shun a task, that is, to train all the captains of Jinyiwei, and its basic mode is to follow the training methods that Li Yan has read in the book in his previous life, what long-distance running weight, and various physical fitness indicators, Li Yan has listed them one by one.
After the last killing and robbery in Dongchang, Li Yan suddenly realized that the fighting level of Jinyiwei was still not enough, and he needed to add some other things to supplement them, and as his own henchmen, even for his own safety, Li Yan had to make them more powerful, so that they could be surprised at a critical moment.
