Jingying

The original Beijing camp was burned to ruins by Zhu Huan, and there were ruins and broken pillars everywhere, but later after Wu Qi led his troops to be stationed in the Beijing camp, the Beijing camp was re-established.

After Zhu Di entered Beijing, these people under Zhu Huan finally had an official name, Wu Qi was named the chief military officer of the Beijing Camp Palace Marshal Mansion and the commander of the three guards of King Qi, the reason why he was the chief military officer and not the Beijing Camp Palace Marshal was because the chief military officer was only a temporary position, and Wu Qi could not have been responsible for the defense of the Beijing camp, after all, he was the number one general under Zhu Huan.

Today, on both sides of the road in front of the Marshal Mansion of the Jingying Palace, there are Wei Wushu with straight waists, although they are still blowing the cold wind after the New Year, but they hold their heads high, as if their faces are full of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world".

At the main entrance of the Marshal's Mansion in the Jingying Palace, there were three men in armor, the man on the left was a little younger, but he was the most proud in terms of momentum, and he felt like a young talent, it was Cao Xiu.

The man on the right is much calmer than Cao Xiu, his eyes are blazing, like a bright flame burning, it is Qi Jiguang.

The middle-aged man standing in the middle, with a long beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sword at his waist, has the style of a general, and he is also Wu Qi.

On weekdays, the three of them perform their own duties, Wu Qi and Cao Xiu occasionally drink tea together to discuss the art of war, while Qi Jiguang trains the marksmanship of musketeers, but when the three of them get together, they basically never appear.

The rows of soldiers stood upright, like bronze statues, and the only sound was the howling of the wind.

A moment later, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and after Wu Qi heard the sound of horses' hooves, he walked straight forward, followed by Cao Xiu and Qi Jiguang.

Walking to the main gate, dozens of people have arrived, the leader is dressed in a white robe, riding a sturdy black horse, with a short knife around his waist, and a hosta to tie his hair.

"Minister Wu Qi, see Your Highness!"

"Minister Cao Xiu, see Your Highness!"

"Ministers Jiguang, see Your Highness!"

The three generals saluted in unison, but it was not a regular salute, but a military salute.

can make a soldier salute, which shows not only the dignity of status, but also the admiration of the heart.

In front of the palace marshal's mansion in the capital camp, countless soldiers pestle the ground with weapons and shouted: "See Your Highness!" ”

The man in the white robe, besides Zhu Huan, who else could it be?

The craftsman who followed him couldn't help but be frightened by the sound that was about to shatter the sky, and almost sat on the ground.

Even Lu Yun, the squire of the Ministry of Works, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help but widen his eyes, he had never seen such an imposing army roaring like a tiger!

"Wu Qi, this is Lu Yun, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, you clean up the Beijing camp and give it to the place where these craftsmen live, and find a larger piece of land." Zhu Huan said.

"Don't worry, the prince left a lot of houses in Beijing before, enough for more than 1,000 people to live." Wu Qi said.

"That's the rest of the house." Zhu Huan said to Cao Xiu: "Cao Xiu, you go and settle this craftsman first, and you will be ready to start work in a few days." ”

"No."

Wu Qi bowed and said, "Lord Wang, it's cold outside, go inside and talk slowly." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Huan glanced at Lu Yun: "Lu Shilang, please inside?" ”

"The lower officials listen to the instructions of the prince."

"Okay, let's go inside and talk about it."

The group walked along the road to the palace marshal's mansion.

Lu Yun looked up, there was a banner of King Qi blowing with the wind in front of the Marshal's Mansion in the Jingying Palace, and the soldiers in front of the Wang Banner were all as straight as sculptures.

Wu Qi led the way and walked to the mansion of Han Jinhu, the original marshal of the Jingying Palace, with black tiles and white walls, and what came to his face was the murderous aura of the tiger and leopard riding of the King of Qi's personal guard.

Zhu Huan likes to take the white horse with him when he fights, because the white horse is a light horse, fast, and is most suitable for blitzkrieg, and he advances in front of the enemy's main general by leaps and bounds with lightning speed.

But his personal guard army was not a white horse servant, but a tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Xiu, and it was also the most elite army under Zhu Huan.

Before entering Beijing, Cao Xiu was the commander of Zhu Huan's personal guards, and he followed him inseparably.

"Chitose Wangye!" The tiger and leopard mounted neatly and dismounted, clenched their fists across their chests and shouted.

Zhu Huan's face was calm, but he was inevitably a little moved in his heart.

When he was in Jinling, although he had the right to mobilize the troops and horses of the Yan Palace, so that hundreds of officials in the court were feared and sought after by the Ming Dynasty, they were all false and had no practical significance at all.

But it's different here, all the troops here are headed by Zhu Huan and only listen to the orders of King Qi.

This is his base camp, Zhu Huan came here, just like a tiger returning to the mountain and a dragon returning to the sea.

……

In the room where the sandalwood was burned, Zhu Huan took out the design of the Napoleon cannon, spread it on the table, and looked at Lu Yun: "Can you make it?" ”

Lu Yun just glanced at the design at first, but just this glance, he was stunned. He immediately sat up straight, looked at the design carefully, almost slapped his eyes on the paper, and muttered to himself: "What kind of drawings must this have been drawn by someone, such delicate lines, such detailed analysis, etc...... This is, artillery? ”

Lu Yun was suddenly shocked: "I've never seen such artillery, I've never seen such artillery!" This, this is simply a heavenly work, a magical design! ”

"That's right, it's artillery." Zhu Huan nodded and said, "But this cannon can not only be loaded with solid shells, but also with black powder and blasting shells." ”

"Blasters?"

"It is to fill a shell with a certain proportion of black powder, which can explode after hitting the target."

“…… How can you still play like this? Lu Yun looked at the design drawings and said like a treasure: "This is amazing, this is absolutely beyond all the previous firearms!" ”

Zhu Huan thought to himself, isn't this nonsense, this thing was made in Europe four hundred years later.

Lu Yun paused for a moment and said, "But...... The manufacture of this thing is different from the previous artillery, and the lower officials have no experience in manufacturing. ”

"So you can't make it?" Zhu Huan raised his eyebrows, and was already thinking in his heart whether to tie Yan Zhenzhi, the secretary of the land transportation and the Ministry of Industry, to a stone and sink it into the pond, or to cut it alive.

"It's not, it's just that the lower officials aren't sure if the cost of building this cannon will be too great." Lu Yun said: "This drawing has analyzed the design of this object in detail, and the lower official only needs to draw the scoop according to the gourd." ”

"You don't have to worry about money, this king will solve this matter, you just need to get things out." When Zhu Huan heard that it was about money, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di is now a big dog, tens of thousands of taels of silver, and he can approve it without even saying hello.

"Then the lower official...... Try? Lu Yun couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

With Zhu Huan paying for the materials and such a detailed drawing, this is a godsend for him, a cannon maniac.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you, but this king's ugly words are ahead, and you have to hurry up." Zhu Huan said.

"Xia Guan understands."

Lu Yun is just obsessed with making artillery, but he is not a fool, of course he knows why Zhu Huan urged him to hurry up.

Zhu Huan plans to use this cannon to fight the Southern Army!
