Chapter 14 Maps

Zhengde said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your fire system is still a little accurate, but this time, it was my mistake to play, wait a minute, I'll let you see my divine shot." ”

Zhu Houhuang said with a smile: "Brother Chen, how dare you compare with the imperial brother." The reason why I studied the fire system is because the fire system has an advantage in military training. ”

Zhengde said: "Fire is better than a bow and arrow? Is it? Zhu Bin, he saw that the emperor's bow and arrow skills were not good, so he underestimated the bow and arrow, and you showed him a hand. ”

Zhu Bin promised loudly, and immediately took out the bow and arrow, bent the bow and arrows, "Collapse." A bowstring sounded, and a leopard that originally ran out of the forest was killed with an arrow more than a hundred steps away.

Zhu Houhuang was not surprised at all, Zhu Bin was able to serve by Zhengde's side, relying on his excellent martial arts. He may have such and such shortcomings, but there are a few points that are beyond doubt, loyalty to Zhengde, excellent martial arts, archery and horse archery, spear and halberd. Far more than ordinary people. There is also the kung fu of marching and fighting, maybe not invincible in the world, but it is absolutely no problem to call it a general.

Bows and arrows are his housekeeping skills, so he can naturally get by.

It's just that gunpowder weapons replace cold weapons, which is driven by the general trend. In later generations, I don't know how many people have discussed it. Zhu Houhuang smiled faintly and said, "I don't know how many years General Zhu has been practicing kung fu?" ”

Zhu Bin said: "Since the minister tied his hair, he has been practicing diligently every day, and he has not stopped until now. ”

"In the world, how many people can be like generals?"

Zhu Bin pondered for a while, didn't dare to boast, and didn't dare to be too arrogant, and said: "The minister's martial arts in the army are also a good hand. But among the border army, there are still many good players like Ruchen. Zhu Bin directly omitted the Beijing camp and the guards.

Zhu Houhuang chased after him and asked, "How many people can there be like you?" ”

"There are still thousands of people."

Zhu Houhuang said: "These thousands of people have also practiced bows and arrows since childhood, so they have such a realm, right?" ”

"Not bad."

Zhu Houhuang turned to Zhengde and said, "Brother Huang, do you know how long I have practiced this musket?" He immediately asked himself and said, "However, it has only been a few months, and I have practiced intermittently between reading." ”

Zhu Bin couldn't help but retort and said, "The unification of the prince is nothing more than that. ”

"Indeed." Zhu Houhuang nodded and said, "My unification is not enough." It can't compare to General Zhu Bin's divine shooting. "This is a fact, the wild boar that Zhu Houhuang mended the gun was more than ten steps in front of them, and Zhu Bin shot a leopard more than a hundred steps away with an arrow, who was higher and who was lower, naturally it was clear at a glance, and Zhu Houhuang did not deny it. continued: "But the fire system is far easier than the bow and arrow, the younger brother, I have also practiced the bow and arrow, but I have never been on the target, learning the fire system, but it is the result of retreating, and I found that the fire system is much easier than the bow and arrow. Maybe you can't become a sharpshooter with every shot, but the younger brother learns these things just to defend himself. There is a need for 100 shots, and not every sergeant in the army has to be 100 shots, so in this sense, the fire system is far above the bow and arrow. ”

Zhu Bin said: "But the army does not like to use firearms. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "It's just that the firearms in the army are inferior, and the craftsmen in the army are exploited layer by layer, and they only need to be rewarded and punished heavily." Naturally, no one dared to commit it again. ”

Zhengde was noncommittal, changed the subject, and said: "In this case, why not use a crossbow?" ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Your Majesty's name, in the military, the crossbow is far above the bow, in the former Song Dynasty, the heaviest bow and crossbow, the heavy crossbow is far above the bow." However, firearms are better than bows and crossbows, and there is another point, whether it is a bow and crossbow, it is all wound by manpower, and manpower is sometimes exhausted, but firearms are powered by gunpowder, as long as the gunpowder is not exhausted, firearms can be fired continuously. ”

Zhu Bin couldn't help but say, "Shizi, it's too much to take for granted. He had never seen a firearm of that kind, capable of firing hundreds of times in a row. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "The subordinate brother can be unified." ”

Zhengde looked at Zhu Houhuang's fire system again. Zhu Houhuang's fire system was actually built according to the style of the rifle of later generations, with a front sight and a shoulder rest. There was also a circlip of the bayonet on it. It looks very different from the fire system of the world. Zhengde reached out to take a shot. Zhu Houhuang hurriedly came up and pointed out to him the usefulness of the various parts on it.

Zhengde tried to aim twice with his empty gun. I think it's good. said: "This system is indeed much stronger than ordinary firearms. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Your Majesty, the rise of this dynasty is the only success of the Northern Expedition in all dynasties. Among them, thanks to the power of firearms, they resisted the benefits of Huma and became the ancestor of the heavy firearms battalion. This system is far superior to the general fire system of the firearms battalion, so why doesn't Your Majesty use this system to reorganize the firearms battalion? “

Zhengde threw the fire system to Zhu Houhuang and said, "You can train your three hundred people first." ”

Zhengde attaches the most importance to martial arts, and it is precisely because of this that he is very cautious about things in the army. He would not listen to Zhu Houhuang's words and change the ordnance without authorization. Zhengde sighed: "Even if there are divine weapons, there is no place for them?" ”

As soon as he mentioned the war, Zhu Bin immediately pricked up his ears, and couldn't help but step forward and say: "Your Majesty, I heard that the little prince is a little restless, and the minister thinks that it is better to drive the royal army and personally conquer the little prince." ”

Zhengde couldn't help but be moved when he heard this, but he shook his head slowly and firmly, and said, "Now is not the time. Nor did he explain why it wasn't the time. It's just that the matter of the royal drive and the personal expedition has left a deep seed in Zhengde's heart.

"Brother Huang, I have an idea. Recently, the envoy of the Franco-Rang machine came from Nanyang, does the imperial brother know? ”

Zhengde said: "Why are these Franc envoys looking for you? You don't stretch out your hands. The country of Francos destroyed the country of Manchu Jia, this Manchu Jia no matter what, it is also a subject country of my Ming Dynasty, without a word of explanation, it was destroyed, and I was put in the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Yang wants to dry them so that they can know where my majesty lies. If you stretch out your hand indiscriminately and Mr. Yang knows, I won't be able to protect you? ”

"Military affairs, how can ministers interfere indiscriminately?" I didn't expect Zhengde to treat him as a character like Zhu Bin, Xu Tai, and Gu Dayong around him. It seems that Zhengde is not ignorant of what his close ministers are doing. Zhu Houhuang continued: "It's just that the country of Francois is very different from the countries of Nanyang, so the ministers are very different. Your Majesty can know that the country of Buddha Langji is far away in the west of Great Qin. Now the soldiers are in the South Seas? ”

Zhengde Daqi said: "The west of Great Qin, so far? "Daqin means Rome.

Zhu Houhuang said: "The mainland of this country is just a province of the Ming Dynasty, but in the past hundred years, the great voyage has been opened, and a large number of overseas territories have been occupied. ”

"How is that possible?" Zhengde said with a smile. "My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, but the ancestors of the past dynasties have been encapsulated inch by inch, how can a small country have no less than my Ming territory in just a hundred years."

Zhu Houhuang secretly said in his heart: "Portugal, Portugal." I'll give you a map to open up the frontier. No wonder, no wonder. Zhu Houhuang said: "The younger brother secretly got a map from the place where the Buddha was lucky, please take a look at it." ”

Zhengde's expression became serious, and he didn't have the heart to hunt, so he casually threw the bow and arrow in his hand to a guard behind him, and said, "There it is." ”

Zhu Houhuang immediately waved his hand and took out a long paper tube from his entourage. Take it with both hands and hand it to Zhengde.

Zhengde didn't answer, and said, "This is not the place to talk. Zhengde pulled the reins, casually found a secluded place nearby, and left the arranged hunting grounds aside.

Under this big tree, Zhengde dismounted, let Zhu Bin and Xu Tai take over Zhu Houhuang's map, and the two of them each held one end of the map and slowly pulled it away.

Zhu Houhuang took a deep breath, this was the greatest treasure that his rebirth brought in this era. World map.

Although Zhu Houhuang did not study geography, he did not know how to draw. I still learned little by little after arriving in this era, and this map is Zhu Houhuang I don't know how many times he has modified it. Never hidden in the most secret place of the direct study, at this moment dedicated to Zhengde as a Portuguese. It was he who decided to push the biggest move of the gears of history.

This map of the world is not accurate. But presumably the outline should be fine. It can even be said to be the most accurate map in the world.
