Chapter 40: The Prophet of the Unknown
"Okay, okay." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded solemnly, if there is really a rebellion in Chizhou, then the control of Pengyu is a great achievement, and it is better to believe it than to believe it.
So Zhu Yuanzhang called Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and others, and told them what he said, everyone was surprised, how could an outsider's words be believed, thinking about it, there were indeed too many things happening this year, and it is estimated that Lao Zhu is tired and confused.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "It's better to believe it than to believe it." They just want to learn command skills from you, so let's go to Chizhou with this opportunity. ”
Everyone nodded, and on the side, Peng Yu was catching up with Qiu Cheng, Qiu Cheng said: "Lord Niu, don't you know, not long after you left, I was arranged to go to other places, otherwise Anqing would definitely not be lost." ”
"I think how well our Anqing Twin Stars governed Anqing at the beginning, but it's a pity that it was sold by Zhao Bozhong and Chen Ba." Qiu Chengdao.
"Anqing Twins? What's that? I only know Zhiduoxing. "I made a puff and said.
"Anqing Twin Star is the name given to us by the people, thanks to the governance of Lord Niu, but unfortunately it was replaced by Zhao Bozhong, although the governance is okay, but it is far inferior to Lord Niu." Qiu Chengdao.
"Haha, where, where. The credit of Lord Qiu is the first place. "I made a puff and said.
"Chen Youliang personally sent troops to take Anqing, but at that time, he provoked the anger of the people of Anqing, and in terms of taking these days, large and small conflicts broke out internally." Qiu Chengdao.
"It's no wonder that they also have eyesight and want to follow His Majesty King Wu, the true son of heaven." Pengqiao Road.
Zhu Yuanzhang discussed the plan, so the celebration banquet continued.
You can't drink alcohol, but most generals like to drink, so they were drowned unconscious after two or three rounds of making Pengyu.
The next day, he helped his head and opened his eyes, and he had been arranged in a room in the guest house.
He staggered out of the room and found that everyone was up.
"Yo, morning." He greeted them.
"Morning, sir."
Soon, someone came over and said that Xu Da and others were going to go on an expedition and asked the Pengyu to arrange for someone to go.
Zhu Yuanzhang still arranged for someone to go to Chizhou, and by the way, he also brought a group of people from Cham to observe and study. So he arranged for them to go with them, and then the messenger told them to go in person.
Chizhou is actually not far from Yingtian, but Zhu Yuanzhang is an "acute son", and he immediately sent troops to Chizhou, and I don't know what his thoughts are, but a big uprising will indeed break out in October, and the location is indeed in Chizhou, and Zhu Yuanzhang will not do anything to him, which is one of his advantages as a traverser.
Then Zhu Yuanzhang summoned him, early in the morning Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the tribute sent by Pengyu, in addition to some of those cannons is some gold and silver jewelry, gold and silver jewelry is what he lacks, the current national income is still low, and the money is spent on the blade, most of which is used to fight the war.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a few cannons with a little curiosity, this cannon was shaped like a sea cannon, but it was not exactly the same, he could only scratch his head, so he decided to summon the Pengqiao and let the Pengqiao introduce the usage.
The envoy brought the system of Pengyu and others to Yingtianfu, Zhu Yuanzhang also waited there for a long time, at present, Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen are still in Yingtianfu, and they and Zhu Yuanzhang received Pengyu and others together.
Soon, Zhi Pengyu and others arrived at Yingtianfu.
Zhu Yuanzhang and others greeted him, and after inviting him and others into the palace, he directly explained the reason for inviting them to come, and he said: "This is what your country paid tribute to." Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the cannon.
He understood in seconds, his eyes lit up, this is all business, and he said: "May I ask if there is any vacant land near Your Majesty, we will do an experiment there." ”
So Zhu Yuanzhang and others found a vacant lot in the east of the city.
"This artillery is used on land, and it can be used for siege and raids. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang patted his head and remembered, isn't this the bronze firearm that their army is equipped with, this technology was studied as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is not a new technology.
Li Shanchang said at this time: "Lord Niu, our army has long been equipped with a bronze firearm for attacking the city. ”
Yes, it was this Li Shanchang who didn't remind me earlier.
"Lord Li, please see the specific effect of it, its usage is similar to the bronze fire gun that the Lord said. ”
So Zhu Yuanzhang ordered people to set up the target target, and then asked the soldiers to adjust the artillery.
"Let's launch."
The soldier lit the fuse and flew out with the sound of the cannonball, and the barrel of the cannon also retreated several meters, Newton was ecstatic, and the cannonball accurately hit the target and exploded, with a sound like a bell, and the fire soared into the sky.
Zhi Pengyu looked at the stunned Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang and others, Ji Cao, and Don't Liu.
"Good man, I'm not dazzled, this power is too strong."
"Your Majesty, you read that right. Congratulations, Your Majesty, with this, we will be more sure to defeat Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang and even take the Tatars. "Li Shanchang and Zhu Yuanzhang are both military wizards, so they naturally see the impact of this thing on the war.
It's a heart-warming feeling, it's my dream cannon.
"Your Majesty."
"How much gold is this cannon?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked bluntly.
Go on the road! He gave Zhu Yuanzhang a thumbs up, and he likes such a good person.
"Give Your Majesty a friendship for 50 gold doors." The lion opened his mouth widely.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Fang Pengyu and said, "I haven't settled the account for you last time when I sold the sea cannon to Chen Youliang, the price is 20 taels and one door." ”
The system wants to cry without tears, who will cut the price in half, this is too much.
"Your Majesty, 30 taels of gold for one door, this is already the cost price, Your Majesty, you also know how expensive this cost is." The canopy was about to be tongue-stricken.
"Deal." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Ahh It seems that he has won the plan, as long as the advanced weapon is strong enough, no matter how expensive it is, there will be a market.
"Bring me 2,000 first." Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and said: "Pay in installments." ”
It doesn't matter if you can make money or not, so it is convenient for the two sides to draw up a contract, although the spirit of the contract originated in the West, but about the contract, in fact, China first appeared 6000 years ago, after all, you can't really rely on morality to restrain people.
Zhu Yuanzhang swept away his previous depression, after all, getting such a powerful weapon is very conducive to their unification war, as for whether the Pengyu will be sold to Chen Youliang, Zhu Yuanzhang has recently rectified the government, and at the same time strictly implemented the counter-espionage plan, the current plan is very successful, at least there is no problem of premature leakage of news.
