Chapter 1337: Ling Zhi is mighty
With only a brocade robe and a big coat, Zhu Jie subdued Zheng Cai, the iron-blooded warrior of the battlefield, Zheng Cai left the Forbidden City, immediately packed his bags, and prepared to go to Fujian to take up his post.
For three days, for three consecutive days, Zhu Jie did not summon the envoys of the four countries.
The envoys of the four countries began to be anxious, but the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has already returned, do you want to agree to the proposal of the four countries? It's a happy word, and it just hangs everyone here, what's going on?
However, there is something that makes them even more anxious, in the past three days, not only did Zhu Jie not summon them, but in the capital, the Tianwei army stationed now has begun to act, together with the cavalry of the two towns that have just returned, and at the same time joined the mobilization, a team of elites galloped back and forth near the capital, and the majestic spirit rushed straight to Xiaohan!
What is this for? Demonstrate to Westerners? This iron-blooded emperor of the Ming Dynasty really doesn't plan to give in, and he wants to fight to the death with our four Western countries? What's more, if you really want to fight, even if the four countries can win, they will lose both in the end......
The envoys of the four countries constantly sent people to inquire about the news, and even took a large amount of silver and planned to enter the court to recruit people to inquire about the situation.
However, after turning around, everyone touched their noses and got gray, the current Ming Dynasty Hall is not the Ming Dynasty Hall of three years ago, three years ago, above the Ming Dynasty Hall, the twilight was gloomy, and the officials were thinking about how to hold the money, and now, the bigwigs who held the money died, the exiled people, and the remaining small shrimps, even if they wanted to collect cash, one didn't dare, and the other didn't have any useful news, as for the big guy, then don't think about it, they are all Zhu Jie's friends who pulled it up, and they can't even enter people's homes!
Several people were anxious, and when they came to the capital, they were all blind, and the money was not good!
Of course, this is not the most important, the most shocking to the Westerners, the most shocking to the Westerners is the southern part of the capital, every day, there will be rumbling cannons in the southern part of the capital, and a ball of flames will sound with the sound of explosions, rising into the air, and can be seen from afar.
The envoys of the West are now in the city of Beijing, and they have seen every move in the city of Beijing, and they are all shocked and inexplicable, not only the 100,000 troops mobilized back and forth in the capital, but also the most shocking thing is Nanyuan's martial arts!
Five days, five days later, Zhao Zhenghang, the marshal of the capital palace, directly found the four envoys and invited them to go to the Nanyuan Martial Arts Field to observe the military exercises!
Here, the West finally saw the most trembling thing in their hearts, and it was also the treasure of the Ming Dynasty - the flowering cannon!
And it is the latest type of flowering cannon, the previous flowering cannon is loaded from the front, but also to remove the residue of the explosion in the chamber, the rate of fire is very limited, even the most experienced gunner, it also takes two minutes to shoot, but now the flowering cannon has been changed to a backward type, just like the Fran cannon, which makes the flowering cannon fire rate increased by a full third, don't underestimate this is only a few tens of seconds, on the battlefield, it is fatal, you can launch a wave of preemptive strike, the time to fire three shells yourself, people have already fired all four shells, and the most terrible thing is that it is still a flowering bullet that is more powerful than a solid bullet!
On the artillery firing field, there are 30 backward flowering cannons, Zhu Jie also gave these guns a resounding name - thunder, of course, the Firearms Bureau has just produced so many breech guns, breech guns for the airtightness of the metal components of the breech are too high, not the level of ordinary craftsmen can reach, and the production capacity of the Firearms Bureau is now very limited.
Thirty flowering cannons were fired together, and seven or eight waves of shelling were carried out one after another, and a mound three miles away was directly leveled by artillery in a short period of time, and the flames flew and the smoke filled the sky!
The envoys grew their mouths one by one, and looked at the mounds in the distance in shock, it was too shocking! These flowering cannons are much more ferocious than the red-coated cannons equipped by the fleets of various countries! It can be said that the damage caused by the three flowering shells to the battleship is definitely not as powerful as the one flowering bullet!
"Four envoys, how's it going? We still see the gadgets of the Ming Dynasty, right? ”
Zhao Zhenghang said with a smile.
The four envoys came to their senses and nodded again and again, gadgets? Is this a gadget? The guns of the fleets of the four countries didn't even have matches......
"It's just an appetizer, let's go, there's more to ......"
Zhao Zhenghang continued to move forward with four envoys, and walked out for almost a mile, and ten more artillery pieces were placed in front of him......
And artillery?
And this gun is no different from the breech gun just now, why is it listed separately?
Several envoys had doubts in their hearts......
"Someone, herald, ready to shoot!"
Zhao Zhenghang commanded.
"Yes, sir!"
Ten guns rang out again, but this time the target was not three miles, but ten miles away!
Boom Boom Boom ......
The artillery rang out almost at the same time, and the ten simple houses standing ten miles away were instantly hit by the shells, and the flames rose in an instant!
Stunned, this time really stunned!
Ten miles away, accurately hit the target, such a long range, can still guarantee such a high hit rate!
The four envoys are following their respective generals on an expedition to the Eastern world, which one is not in the bloody wind and rain, familiar with the battle array, now the artillery range of Western countries is generally about six miles, the farthest can reach eight miles, but when it comes to eight miles, the shells do not know where to fly, there is no point of accuracy, the most accurate attack distance is between one and two miles, so the Western fleet is fighting, basically the distance maintained by the warships is about one mile away, In order to be able to maximize the power of the shells!
However, the flowering cannon I see now is different!
People can hit the target ten miles away, and the power of the flowering bullet will not weaken with the increase of distance, but maintain the same power, after all, the threat of the flowering bullet comes from the gunpowder inside!
"Let's go, guys, let's go and enjoy it!"
Zhao Zhenghang did not wait for a few people to agree, and took the lead in rushing into the distance, several people were riding war horses, and soon, they came to ten miles away, at this time, several houses built of bamboo and wood were already almost burned, the fire was raging, and there was the smell of burnt soil everywhere!
The big killing weapon, it is really a big killing weapon, how did these people of the Ming Kingdom do it, they were able to develop such a powerful artillery!
