Just after Zhang Yuan received the edict, he rushed to the Chinese army camp with the new army, and after arriving at the designated position of the Chinese army camp, Zhang Yuan, with the eunuch who passed the decree, went to meet the famous Ming Wuzong in history, Emperor Zhengde, with this complicated process, and finally met the wise and martial emperor Zhu Houzhao, and some people said that he was an absurd emperor, but these are not important, as long as he can bring benefits to the people of the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter, Zhang Yuan would rather believe that he is wise and martial, Because he defeated the Mongol Tatars, who had repeatedly violated the border, and ensured the stability of the northern Ming Dynasty.

It is another complicated ceremony, after singing praises to Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Yuan was able to meet the real dragon, half an hour later, Zhang Yuan left the camp of the Chinese army with the military order of the Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, as for what his military order is, it will be known in a while.

When Zhang Yuan talked about the new army in Zhengde, he emphasized the centralized use of firearms, that is, the concentration of artillery together, which would produce unexpected power, and the Zhengde Emperor thought that there was basically no artillery on the Tatar side.

Simply gather all the artillery of the Ming Dynasty together, and want to bombard the camp to see the effect, because the range of the current red-coat cannon is obviously stronger than the previous artillery, as long as the battalion is selected at the right height, you can use the parabola to hit the cannonball into the Tatar camp, under Zhang Yuan's various hints, the Ming Emperor decided to take the risk of trying, that is, to set up a large camp in the front line, and then build a high platform in the camp as a firing position, all the artillery is concentrated on the high platform, towards the Tatar camp to a round of salvo, See how it works. Zhang Yuan's military order is to build this big camp and build this high platform, as for who will fire the governor's artillery, of course, it is the wise and martial Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty.

Before the barracks of the confrontation between the two armies, a large battalion was re-established, which attracted the attention of the Tatar side, but they did not realize what this was for, did these Ming troops want to advance forward with this battalion step by step, this is a great luck in the world, how can there be such an advance, this is just a waste of force, under the impact of their own cavalry, their camps are not all their own.

These Tatar generals did not realize that their disaster was coming, and after Zhang Yuan had set up his camp, he came to build a mountain of earth. Seeing Da Ming's plan, the generals finally understood what they were doing, they wanted to look at their military camp layout from a distance, so let them see. What is there to be afraid of on your own side, most of them are cavalry, and you are afraid of them, as long as they don't pee their pants when they are in formation, because the scene of ten thousand horses charging is very shocking.

The Ming side could not achieve such strength, but the Tatar side of the whole people were soldiers, when the Ming Dynasty was strong, they could sing and dance, but once the Ming Dynasty was soft-skinned, they could ride and shoot well, which led to the fact that they had sufficient force to form cavalry troops, and horses were easier to survive on the grassland.

Another week later, Zhang Yuan perfectly completed the order of Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, placed 200 cannons on the mound of the Ming Dynasty, and then told Zhu Houzhao that after his task was completed, the excited Zhu Houzhao directly led the ministers of civil and military affairs to the artillery position, ready to see the scene of 10,000 cannons, although there were only 200 cannons, but Zhu Houzhao was still very excited, and ordered the historian to keep recording next to him to see how the emperor wisely injured the Tartars.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhu Houzhao's imperial flag appeared on the mound, which caused a commotion among the Tatar tribes, but the Tatar generals did not care, it seems that this is the Ming Emperor to probe the military situation, men are like this, they always like to bluff, they don't care, because they are not ready for battle until now, and there are still some deficiencies that have not come, although their combat power is equal to that of the Ming Dynasty, but in terms of close combat, once dragged into a protracted war, it is always unfavorable to themselves.

As for why it is unfavorable, that is the problem of supply, the Ming Dynasty is backed by the hinterland, there are sufficient supplies, and these Mongolian Tatars can only rely on their own cattle and sheep to survive, if once the war is lost, the supply of cattle and sheep is not timely, they will face the danger of running out of food, which is very affecting morale, once the moisture collapses, all lost.

Just when Zhu Houzhao came to the high platform, he looked at the artillery position with satisfaction and nodded, and then asked Zhang Yuan if he could hit the Tatar camp from this shot. Artillery firing from here can cover the entire Tatar battalion", of course, this Tatar battalion refers to the battalion directly in front of the mound, and the current Tatar battalion has hundreds of thousands of soldiers not just in front, but a huge camp that stretches for more than ten miles, and their current artillery position is at best able to defeat a large battalion of one kilometer in front.

After receiving a satisfactory reply, after Zhu Houzhao gave the order to open fire, Zhang Yuan urgently came to the artillery position, raised the prepared and ordered flags to signal the artillery crews, began to load gunpowder and shells, ready to fire at any time, after all was completed, Zhang Yuan asked Zhu Houzhao for instructions, "Your Majesty!" All artillery is ready to be fired? ”

Zhu Houzhao excitedly pulled out his sword, pointed to the sky and said, "From now on, I will make these Tatars never dare to offend." Fire. ”

With Zhu Houzhao's order, 200 artillery pieces began to roar, 200 iron balls flew towards the Tatar camp in the distance, the current shells are indeed iron balls, because the flowering bomb has not yet been developed, this is not the current kind of redcoat cannon can be launched, and the redcoat cannon needs to be improved, because the redcoat cannon does not have rifling to launch this flower, but then it is full-screen luck, if there is rifling and then fires the flowering shell, it will hit the fixed target along a fixed trajectory, Of course, the current flowering bomb has not been developed, but it has been mixed with Zhang Yuan, and the model has come out, thinking that it will not take a few months to produce a real flowering bomb.

War is indeed the core driving force that catalyzes technological progress, but war is also the most important driving force for the elimination of technology, the winning side of the war will get a technological leap, but some excellent memories of the losing side will always be lost, although it will go through decades or hundreds of years of development, it will appear again, but it will completely fall into the end of the times, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Therefore, Zhang Yuan wants to ensure that the Ming Dynasty must win, and the excellent skills of the Ming Dynasty in the province are lost, but the historical records just happen that this battle is a victory, Zhang Yuan is thinking about whether he is studying something else in order to win more conveniently, after all, when he was in Calradia, the new type of engineering and city defense equipment he designed refreshed the war on the Calradia continent, so that he was considering whether to innovate in the Ming Dynasty.

As for what Zhang Yuan thought of, that is, breech guns and breech-loading rifles, that is, the kind of weapons used before World War I, after all, with the current industrial level, it is impossible to produce artillery and firearms during the First World War, and can only rely on handicraft workshops to produce some guns and artillery before World War I, that is, the kind of guns and artillery used during the American Civil War.

Now the drawings Zhang Yuan has been prepared, and has been handed in for publication, and also asked the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao to establish a secrecy bill to ensure that these documents will not leak out, or be known by people who should not know, under the guarantee of multiple strict measures, Zhang Yuan believes that if these technologies are not leaked out, only the Daimyo has them, the Ming Dynasty will lead the world trend in 200 years, so that those European powers who once dared to show off their might in Southeast Asia have become dogs with their tails, in front of the Ming people, They can only walk honestly.

200 iron balls folded, sharp whistling sound smashed into the Tatar camp, instantly caused great damage, now the Tatar camp because of the large number of personnel, and gathered in the same position, an iron ball can fall down to destroy a tent, dozens of Tatar soldiers are either dead or wounded, and this iron ball can bounce up, continue to cause secondary damage or tertiary damage, this is the Tatar camp There was a large-scale commotion, with the end of the first round of artillery, Zhu Hou continued to fire according to satisfactory instructions, the red-coated cannon has an advantage, That is, the cooldown time is short, and it only takes about five minutes to be able to launch again. Five minutes, not enough to make the Tatar battalion begin to become neat and orderly, but still there is a commotion, now the soldiers can't find the generals, they can't find the soldiers, everything is chaotic, there are separate battles, guarding against attacks that don't know where they come from, soon the second round of shells 200 iron bridges fired at the Tatars, the battalion again caused huge casualties, and then the Tatar battalion finally reacted, this is the Ming Dynasty's firearms and artillery are shooting at them, they are within the design range, if you want to dodge, Only retreat or rush forward, looking at the Ming army that has already set up a large camp and is full of flags, this is tantamount to looking for death, then there is only one retreat, just when the Tatar camp began to retreat, Zhu Houzhao, a military genius, thought that the time for war was time to draw his sword directly, and regardless of whether his army was ready to command all the armed forces to attack. When all the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty rushed to the Tatar camp, the follow-up infantry also began to advance slowly, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to decide the outcome in one battle.

With two rounds of 400 iron balls hit the Tatar camp, the balance of victory fell directly to the Ming side, with the retreat of the Tatar Chinese army camp, other battalions also retreated, their retreat was originally orderly, but as the Ming army began to chase into a rout, and finally became a big rout, the Ming army directly chased more than 50 miles, the Tatar floating corpses were innumerable, and finally the little Tatar prince Bor only Jin Batu Mengke did not escape, was captured in front of the Ming Emperor Zhu Passport.

Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Emperor who was the emperor of the world in the first war, was very happy now, he was going to see how to deal with Bol Batu Mengke, but an urgent twist and turn made the Ming Emperor's originally happy face begin to frost, he directly ordered to kill all the captured Tatar prisoners, and then escorted Boer to Batu Mengke to Beijing.

He wants to sacrifice prisoners to Zongmiao, as for why Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty was angry? It is because after the end of the battle, some generals led the soldiers to clean the Tatar camp, and found many Han women who were taken captive, they were all treated inhumanely, and some people even found human bones at the food scene of the Tatar camp, according to the women who were rescued, that is the bones of the Han women, and the general who obtained the information urgently reported to Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Hou took care of the situation, and the joy of victory was directly overwhelmed by anger, and directly killed all the prisoners, and escorted the only prisoner back to Beijing.

On the way back to Beijing, the Ming Emperor did not forget the heroes of this battle, and began to discuss the reward for meritorious deeds, Zhang Yuan because of the proposal to use artillery intensively, and he was the original advocate of artillery, although he had been named a baron, but Zhu Houzhao was still very generous, directly promoted the title for him, and was promoted by two levels at a time, directly became an earl, and gave him the name of the earl is Krupp.

Zhang Yuan was stunned after coming into contact with this title, Krupp? I'm obviously a person, why did I give me a name for artillery? Is it because he invented artillery? It was supposed to be a name that appeared after 300 years, but I didn't expect it to appear now, it's really a trick, but Krupp is Krupp, in fact, the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao has a deep meaning to his name, and Krupp is the earl who can conquer and destroy them. Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty had high hopes for Zhang Yuan.
