In Kuang's eyes, this flying ball is simply a sharp weapon against the Warat and Tatar on the steppe in the future.

The Ming Dynasty has the upper hand on the grassland, but in the actual situation, especially in some small-scale conflicts on the border, the Ming Dynasty suffers most of the time.

In terms of military armor, Da Ming is more than ten times better than the tribes of the grassland, and in terms of grain and grass, compared with the nomads who are precarious and do not know where the next meal is, it is simply a world of difference.

The only thing that Daming is not better than Warat Tatar is speed.

Some of the Warat people are war horses, everyone is a good rider, as long as they pass the wall, it is a horse and a flat desert grassland, that is their world.

They can have one man and two horses, and when they want to attack the pass, they can quickly gather troops on the border, and look for flaws.

Sometimes, maybe you can't take advantage of it here today, but tomorrow, you will suddenly appear a hundred miles away and be caught off guard.

Although the Ming Dynasty has a perfect wolf smoke warning system, but when these are often discovered, the enemy has already reached the nose, and at this time, it is too late to make the pass ready and gather the people, the army and the people.

For the Varat Tatars, the cost of trial and error is very low, but if you succeed once, it is like a mouse falling into a rice bowl and eating a round belly.

However, the well-equipped Ming army could only passively break up, and the border army, which had an absolute superiority of more than 200,000 yuan, often had a passive situation in which there were more enemies and fewer enemies.

Even if the Ming army had the intention to take the initiative to attack and suppress, but in the face of the Varat Tatars who had no trace and disappeared, there was no intelligence, and even if they had no strength, they would not be able to start.

And if you are not careful, you will not be able to beat the dog, but you will be bitten.

If, if the border can be matched with this flying ball, the situation can be greatly improved.

For example, when a large army is on the move, it can release flying balls to reconnoiter the enemy.

If you send out scout scouts, if they are discovered, it may be a bloody battle.

But if it's a flying ball, it's floating in the sky, and even if it's discovered, as long as it's high enough, you can't hit it, and you can only stare at the ground with big eyes, and there's nothing you can do.

At that time, when the Ming Dynasty was at the border, it was able to turn passive defense into active defense.

Compared with Kuang's defensive thinking, Zhu Qizhen cared more about attack.

Zhu Qizhen led the group to the place where the stones had just been dropped and the jar was in a mess.

Zhu Qizhen pointed to the water stains, debris, and stones on the ground, and asked, "What did the Qing family see?" ”

Everyone muttered in their hearts, not understanding what Zhu Qizhen meant.

Zhu Qizhen didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said: "If today, what is dropped is not a stone, but an equal weight of gunpowder tied to fragments, and this jar is not filled with water, but with fire oil, what kind of scene will it be here?"

Can you think about it? ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts suddenly burst.

Zhu Qizhen was not satisfied, and continued: "If it weren't this flying ball today, it would be a hundred, a thousand flying balls, and at the same time throwing gunpowder and oil, what kind of scene would it be?" ”

These words made everyone's hearts chuckle again.

If there are really hundreds of such flying balls suddenly in the sky above the Jingshi, and then throw down what His Majesty said......

I'm afraid, I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, Jingshi will have to become a sea of fire, a hell on earth.

And the most terrible thing is that the court has nothing to do.

Even if you have hundreds of thousands of military horses, but people don't even fight you face-to-face, what can you do?

Everyone's hearts are cold......

In this, there is no lack of elements of Zhu Qizhen's exaggerated rhetoric.

Zhu Qizhen proposed something that no one had considered before - air supremacy, and it did have a huge impact on the elites of the empire.

This era is basically the world of land warfare.

As for water battles, there are still some examples of one or two battles in history, such as Taizu's Battle of Dingding - Poyang Lake Water Battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this battle has been the culmination of water warfare since ancient times.

And air combat ...... It would be more than 500 years before it went.

In this era, if you have air supremacy, it can be said to be a dimensionality reduction strike.

Of course, the most chilling person in this is Wang Zuo.

Sure enough, he guessed that His Majesty just wanted to make this thing.

You have to pay for this thing.

"Master Kuang, go back to the military department to draw up a charter, see how much you need, use those places first, and the first batch will be finalized as soon as possible......"

Zhu Qizhen has already crossed the question of whether to build or not, but trotted all the way, fast forward to the question of how much to build.

"Your Majesty", Wang Zuo immediately adjusted his feet, "This flying ball...... If so, how much will it cost? ”

Well, as expected.

Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zuo both predicted each other's predictions.

"How much?"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at Jin Ying.

Jin Ying immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the one built by the military battle bureau in the palace just now, it cost about two hundred taels of silver. ”

Two hundred taels?

Wang Zuo's heart ached.

Kuang Yu was also silent, thinking silently in his heart.

Two hundred taels of silver is not counted as anything else, but if you make fifty of them, it will be ten thousand taels less.

This plus miscellaneous things, I am afraid that I can't stop without 15,000 taels.

If he took out such a large amount of silver from Wang Zuo's hand now, Kuang Yu believed that Wang Zuo would dare to play with him today.

After the heartache, Wang Zuo resolutely shook his head: "Your Majesty, in this way, it does cost a lot."

This is coupled with daily maintenance, manpower, baggage, gunpowder, etc., and the cost is too great.

The border pass is thousands of miles long, less of it, it will not help, if there are more, even if the household department smashes the pot and sells iron, it will not be able to get so much silver.

Besides, whether this flying ball can deal with the Varat Tatars or not is two theories.

If so, if you can't kill the enemy at that time......

The money and grain have been spent and wasted, but they will not be able to make up for it.

Besides, the imperial court has built so many beacon towers for so many years, and it has also played a great role, even if there is no flying ball, you can come over.

Could it be that with the flying ball, it will be possible to stop the Varat Tatars from making mistakes?

The old minister thought that if he put this in advance, he had to think twice, and it was not too late to wait for the household to have the silver to rebuild.

Of course, if Your Majesty can ...... from within"

Wang Zuo finally released a killer move.

His Majesty looked at the inner house, not much looser than he looked at the household.

"Okay, then make it with money from within."

Zhu Qizhen was extraordinarily cheerful this time, "Jin Ying, from today onwards, the military battle bureau will be working day and night to make this flying ball for me."

If there is not enough manpower, the dispatch of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry must not be delayed.

This, this first batch, will build a hundred first.

By the way, since you want to make a flying ball, I will simply set up a flying ball thousand households under the Jinyi Guard, and Yuan Bin will be the one in charge of manual training. ”

This time, Zhu Qizhen was particularly happy to pay the money.

With this talking, the shelf has already been erected.

Zhu Qizhen must not only set up a shelf, but also put himself into actual combat as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness.

He wants to prove that flying balls can really be a sharp weapon.

Not a beacon for defense, but a fortress for air attack.
