King Han's face was very ugly, and he even had a little killing intent.

Saying allegiance to the Han King here is actually a matter of one sentence, but is it really that simple? Spread out, to the ears of the prince and the emperor? You are father and son, you can rely on a word, I Chen Yuan will not do such a stupid thing.

Short-sighted, so happy, you Han King, not the king I want to assist.

Chen Yuan arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, he is the king, and he has the whole world. The minister is by the side of Zhao Wangye, and Zhao Wangye is the third brother of the prince, so what's the difference. ”

Chen Yuan's reason could not convince the King of Han, and Zhu Gaoxu was still dissatisfied: "You are right every word!" However, if my father passed the throne to my useless eldest brother, then wouldn't you have to be loyal to my useless eldest brother? Or do you think that my third brother can become a climate? ”

Chen Yuan shook his head and continued: "King Han, why don't you have confidence in yourself? Because the emperor doesn't like the prince, and he doesn't like the civil servants around the prince, because the emperor will find out that the civil officials around the prince are bent on dividing the power in the emperor's hands! King Han has Liu Guan and others around him, as well as prestige in the army, and the ministers are only a subordinate, and the prince looks down on him! ”

King Han's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then you can test another word for this king." ”

"Lord Wang, please speak."

King Han took a step forward and wrote a "one" on the ground with the tip of his boot: "You just measure, when is the old man going to move the capital?" ”

Can this stump yourself? Those who have studied history know that Zhu Di announced the relocation of the capital to the world in November of the eighteenth year of Yongle, and sent an edict to the Ministry of Rites, and set Shun Tianfu as the Beijing master on the New Year's Day of the nineteenth year of Yongle. Since then, Nanjing is the name, and there is no longer the name of Yingtianfu.

Chen Yuan pinched his fingers and calculated: "November this year." ”

"Oh?"

"Lord Wang, please look, the word you wrote is on the soil, what is the soil of a plus, the king, the word king is taken apart, it is one eleven, so, the minister speculates that the relocation of the capital should start in November this year and be officially completed in the first month of next year."

King Han said in a deep voice: "Why are you so sure? ”

Chen Yuan smiled but did not answer.

King Han asked again and again, and Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, this is some of the means played by the minister, if you say it, the King of Han will have to keep the minister's job in the future." ”

"Just say it."

"Why don't you understand that moving the capital is such an important event, you must choose an auspicious day, the first month of the first month of next year, more than ten days in a row are auspicious days, suitable for moving. Nanjing is far away from Shuntian, and it will take two months to prepare anyway, so Chen speculated that in November this year, there will be a move. ”

King Han was stunned for a while, then pointed at Chen Yuan and laughed: "It turns out that your so-called Zhongnan Mountain learning the Tao is just a trick to fool you." ”

"To make it clear, in fact, there is no secret to the minister, the word measurement and hexagram, the grasp is the heart, insight into the opportunity. Lord, this minister's job-"

Zhu Gaoxu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this king is what he says, as long as this king is there, he will keep your wealth." ”

"And your big wedding, this king will definitely give a big gift."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"But, Chen Yuan, do you still have something to hide from this king?"

"The prince forgives the sin."

King Han squinted at him: "I know that woman is the woman that my eldest nephew likes, you are so bold to rob a woman with my eldest nephew." ”

Chen Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart, but he also understood that it was not surprising that King Han knew such news, a dignified prince, and more channels to find out information.

"The prince forgives the sin."

"Forgive sins, forgive what?" King Han laughed, "I am happy to see my eldest nephew suffer, you can rest assured, if anyone dares to make trouble at your wedding, this king will be the first to spare him." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

"Thank you, go, follow me to see the firearms." King Han was anxious and angry, and after dispelling his scruples about Chen Yuan, he couldn't wait to go to the Shenji Camp to see the firearms.

The firearms used by the Ming official army now are mainly artillery and firearms, the Ming Dynasty army is the guard system, as early as the Hongwu period, it was stipulated that in each hundred households, there are ten firecrackers, twenty sword players, thirty archers, and forty pikemen, among which the archers have poisonous smoke arrows and thunderbolt arrows, two kinds of gunpowder arrows, and the pikemen are also equipped with pear flower guns used to restrain the cavalry charge.

The rate of firearms in the Ming Dynasty was the highest among all countries at that time, far exceeding that of European countries.

Therefore, when he played against Tatar and Warat, Zhu Di had so much confidence. The 3,000 battalions are well-trained, and the Shenji battalion is an ace unit.

It's just that the bulky firecracker is far from being better than the bird's gun, and the bird's gun is the arquebus used by the Ming army, and the later replacement of the firearm has become the most important firearm equipped by the Ming army, because the muzzle size is like a bird's beak, so it is called the bird's gun.

The barrel is made of wrought iron, weighs about five to six kilograms, has a crosshair, a door, and is mounted on a wooden support. Two inches of wooden support grow out of the mouth of the gun, seven inches after the support is bent downward, through a strip, weighing three taels, and another fire rope, each time it is filled with granular black gunpowder three coins, and the lead bullet weighs three coins. The fire door has a lid and uses a faucet-type arquebus lighter. When firing, ignite the fire rope and install it into the faucet, hold the tail of the gun tightly after opening the fire door with the right hand, and use the index finger gusset machine to the back, the faucet falls on the fire door, and the fuel is fired.

"Bang!" Li Ying, who was aiming at the target, pulled the trigger, and after a loud noise and thick smoke, the wooden target 100 steps away was accurately shot, and Li Ying was very satisfied with this!

"This bird's gun, although not as powerful as the firegun, is farther, lighter, easier to maneuver, and much faster to reload. It's just not very cheap, it has to be made of wrought iron, and only one pound of wrought iron comes out of ten catties of pig iron. The fire gun is only about fifteen catties, and it can be made of pig iron or copper, which is really a lot of difference! The voice behind him startled Li Ying.

When I turned around, it was King Han and Chen Yuan in civilian clothes. He once fought side by side with Chen Yuan, admired Chen Yuan very much, and was even more surprised to see his views on firearms at his fingertips.

"Lord Chen knows about firearms?"

Chen Yuan smiled: "I know a little bit about it." ”

Li Ying exclaimed: "This is something that my subordinates have figured out, and it hasn't been put into use yet, I didn't expect Lord Chen to know it so quickly." ”

Chen Yuan took the gun, holding the Daming Bird Gun, a little bit of a big cover. He cautiously poured in the gunpowder, because the projectile was made of lead, and if the gunpowder was less, the bullet would be powerless, and if there was more gunpowder, the lead pellet would melt, and it would also be non-lethal. If you are unlucky, there will be a borehole, and if you can't kill the enemy, you will kill yourself first, and you will accidentally injure the people around you.

Pour in the gunpowder you need and press it a few times with a cane, not too lightly and not too hard. After the gunpowder is pressed, put in a lead bullet and press it with a cane to make sure that the lead bullet is close to the gunpowder.

Next, take the fire door open, pour the other fine gunpowder into the bird gun fire door, shake it upward, after the gunpowder enters the line door, close the fire door, and install the fire rope into the faucet.

When all this is done, hold the middle of the wooden holder of the gun with the left hand, open the fire door with the right hand, light the fire rope, and hold the trigger with the index finger of the right hand, and the person aims with one eye, and finally pulls the trigger. The trap hooked into the faucet and landed on the fire door, and the gunpowder burned and the gun rang out.

After a puff of smoke, Chen Yuan hit his target, and a hundred paces away, the target fell in response.

King Han and Li Ying were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, wasn't he a civil official? And the potential of a sharpshooter.

Chen Yuan's ears were a little numb from the loud sound, and his arms were even more sore. It's not easy to shoot, and the backlash is great. Seeing the reaction of the two, he was ashamed and said, "Sorry, it just happened." ”

Li Ying smacked his tongue: "Your Excellency is modest, your proficiency in using the bird gun is not much better than that of the best gunner in my Shenji Battalion." It's a pity that adults don't come to the army. ”

"Lord Li is serious, I'm not used to the days of fighting, killing and killing, and today the King of Han came to see the power of firearms, and he wanted to speak in front of His Majesty and increase the investment in the Shenji Battalion."

Li Ying stood up and said in surprise: "Thank you for the support of King Han. ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Kitchen knives and sabers are both knives, but sabers can be used to kill people." Firearms are a sharp weapon for killing people on the battlefield, as long as it can easily kill the enemy's weapons, no matter how much investment is worthwhile, in the future, the barbarians of the four seas, who dares to disagree. Li Ying, take out all your skills today, this king wants to take a look. ”
