Zhu Yunxi stood aside and listened to the dispute between the two, even if he always felt that his third uncle was a bit stupid, but he had to admit that this thing was to the point.

Compared with traditional bows and arrows, the biggest advantage of this thing is not the long range, but its low-cost training mode.

A qualified archer is too difficult to train, to say the least, it takes more than three or five years to cultivate.

The reason why the steppe nomads defeated the Han people was because the steppe people practiced riding and archery since childhood, and it can be said that everyone is a soldier.

Relatively speaking, the Han people spend more time studying how to farm, so how can they have the leisure to practice archery on archery and horseback?

However, the popularity of firecrackers just made up for it.

The training time for musket shooting is short, and the results are quick, and whether they are old, weak, women, or children, as long as they are given a torch and taught to shoot three or five times, they will be able to grasp the main points.

It was precisely because of the popularity of firearms that the steppe nomads learned to live in peace with the Han Chinese. By the time the machine guns appeared, the nomads became hospitable and able to sing and dance.

Zhu Yunxi saw that the two were arguing, and immediately stepped forward to persuade him.

"Second uncle, third uncle, don't fight with the two of you, you'll know when you see the power of my firecracker camp."

Zhu Fan snorted coldly when he heard this, sat back in his chair angrily, and no longer paid attention to Zhu Li and Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing this, Zhu Li also showed a disdainful expression, and said to his eldest nephew.

"Big nephew, behave well in a while and fight for your third uncle!"

Zhu Yunxi replied with a smile.

"Okay!"

During the time when a few people were talking and laughing, the guards of the capital camp and the vassal king were all rehearsed.

As the saying goes, there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts.

The ranking of the army's military exercises is clear at a glance, and no one can fake it.

In the end, Zhu Li's guards became the champion of this military exercise with the first result in shooting and the second place in the queue.

As for the second, it is naturally Zhu Fan who is holding back his strength.

In fact, Zhu Di can win the first place if he works hard, but he doesn't want to stand out too much, let alone steal the limelight from Zhu Fan and Zhu Li, so he can only settle for third.

The first three are lined up, and the ranking behind them is not important, just wait for His Majesty's punishment from the emperor.

Finally, the military exercise of the Jing Navy under Zhu Yunxi's name is not included in this ranking.

When Mei Yin, who presided over the military exercise, stood on the high platform and announced that the Jing Navy would be played, all the civil and military officials lay on the city wall in unison, even Tang He, an old man with bad legs and feet, was forced to lie on the battlements with two crutches on his sick body, wanting to witness the miracle of the Jing Navy in person.

He and Fu Youde helped Zhu Yunxi train as soldiers. Although Zhu Yunxi had already prepared training materials, the two only needed to follow the steps. But the two are also witnesses of the whole process and participants in the training of the Jing Navy.

Now it was time to review the results, and the hearts of the two were more excited than anyone else.

When Tang He was lying on the battlements and looking nervously at the martial arts arena, Fu Youde was pulling the reluctant blue jade up the city wall.

Lan Yu was stripped of his title, and his whole person fell into decadence. Even if Zhu Yunxi gave him a shark suit and hired him to be the vice president of the Military Academy, he was not interested. Locked himself in the house all day long, and became an old otaku in the last years of Hongwu. ….

He didn't want to come to today's military exercise, first, because it was nothing to look at, and second, because he was disgusted and embarrassed.

The civil and military nobles who are full of city walls, just a white ding, let Lan Yu, who has been strong all his life, put his face away?

"Old Blue!"

"Just come and see, the Imperial Grandson's Jing Navy is very strong, and it can affect the battlefield for the next hundred years!"

"Alas!"

"You just blow it for him, don't think we don't know, that kid said it was a military training, but he hadn't even been to the barracks a few times, and the names of the generals under his hands couldn't be called all the names, so it's hell that any good soldiers can be trained here!"

"I still want to take the old man to some military academy, but fortunately, the old man asked someone to inquire, and he dared to love that the academy was just a brand, and there was not even a serious school building, and the students and gentlemen were even more useless

General Pole ......"

When Fu Youde heard this, he also laughed in his heart.

The imperial grandson is really this kind of great joy, no matter what he does, he is very powerful, in fact, many times he just hangs a "brand" to scare people.

If the two of them knew that Zhu Yunxi was already very restrained, and there were still many ideas that had not been implemented, the two would probably jump directly from the city wall.

When the two were pulling and pulling on the city wall, on the Guozi Observation Platform under the city wall, everyone also stretched their necks to look.

Although they couldn't get the privilege of going up to the city wall to watch the excitement, His Majesty the Emperor still found a suitable place for them to watch under the city wall.

However, these students don't like to watch this kind of fighting and killing scenes, they think this thing is insulting.

But there are also some exceptions, for example, the newly promoted Huizhou student Han Qing looked very seriously, and in order to see more clearly, he even took out a clairvoyant, which attracted everyone's sideways.

There is only one reason why everyone is sideways, that is, they were shocked by Han Qing's local tyrants.

Clairvoyance is sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the capital, and it costs 1,000 taels of silver.

Therefore, after Han Qing took out this thing, the students next to him stopped looking at the martial arts arena, and all looked at him in unison, hesitating how to speak, and borrowed it from him to play.

Han Qing also doesn't like military exercises, but in order to understand the strength of the Ming army, he can only watch patiently.

Of course, he was also very curious about the strength of Zhu Yunxi's Jing Navy.

Although the strength of the Jing Navy does not represent Zhu Yunxi, through the performance of the Jing Navy, it is still possible to extrapolate Zhu Yunxi's military level.

In addition to Han Qing, the one who also cares more about the Ming Jing Navy is the nine sea merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

They did not dare to enter Beijing blatantly, but they sent ears to watch the ceremony and probe the true level of the Jing Navy.

This is also the only opportunity for them to learn about the level of the Jing Navy through legal channels, and usually their people who are close to the Jing Navy camp will be arrested and tortured as female cadres.

On the city wall, Lao Zhu saw that the Manchu Dynasty was so concerned about the civil and military forces, and looked at the envoy of the vassal state in the direction of the lower left hand who was also lying on the battlements, and his face couldn't help showing a trace of pride.

As the emperor, he naturally knew more inside information than others, and he had already called Fu Youde and Tang He into the palace and asked them about the training level of the Jing Navy.

The two veterans can also be regarded as people who have seen the world, and when they mention the Jing Navy, they both give extremely high evaluations. ….

This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very confident, so he put Jing Haijun in the finale position.

As the order of Mei Yin, the commander-in-chief of the exercise, fell, the first battalion of the firearms battalion of the Jing Navy walked out of the array with neat steps and spears on their shoulders.

The battalion commander Zhang Jianghe shouted slogans, led everyone to the edge of the white line, and immediately shouted to stop.

"Stop!"

"Standing still ......"

As everyone shouted uniform slogans, the original marching queue was quickly adjusted and turned into a shooting queue.

A hundred paces away from the gatekeeper are a hundred scarecrows lined up.

The scarecrow has a target painted on its body, and a fist-sized clay pot is buckled on its head to act as a head.

In principle, if you hit a clay pot and shatter it, it can be called a magic shot.

The reason why Zhu Li's guards were able to win against Zhu Fan was because Zhu Li's guards shot the largest number of clay pots, reaching more than 30.

Shooting a fist-sized clay pot from a hundred paces away is already an incredible achievement, enough to be called a divine shot.

As for shooting copper coins, willows, and the like, it can't be said to be nonsense, but in terms of the army, it doesn't pay attention to this.

Because it's too hard, there's no adaptability.

For the people of their army, being able to shoot a clay pot from a hundred paces away is already considered a master.

When the Jing Navy below was preparing for the shooting, Zhu Li, who was a gambler by nature, made a bet with Zhu Zhang.

"Second brother, guess the first round of the Jing Navy

How many targets can you hit?"

Zhu Fan's army was also equipped with a firecracker, and knowing that this thing was too unstable, he stretched out a finger on the spot.

"He's lucky to have a hit!"

"Ichisei?"

Zhu Li rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"During the Chinese New Year this year, the firearms I used with General Lan to fight *** in Datong can at least fifty percent of the targets."

"Now in the past half a year, Zhu Yunxi has improved several times, and it can be eighty percent to say the least!"

"Eighty percent?"

Zhu Fan also showed the same exaggerated expression as Zhu Li.

"Third brother, it's not the second brother who said you, if you really hit the target, the second brother jumped off the city wall on the spot!"

Zhu Li smiled when he heard this.

"If you can really have eighty percent, you don't need the second brother to jump, just give me a thousand pairs of armor!"

Zhu Fan looked at Zhu Li unkindly.

"What if I miss eighty percent?"

Zhu Li is arrogant and dry.

"I'll give you two thousand pieces of armor!"

"Good!"

When the two were making a bet, Zhu Di and Zhu Hu also came over.

"Second brother, third brother, take me and the fifth brother when you two play!"

"If you don't refuse, who are you two going to take?"

"I can't!"

"I can't ...... either."

The other vassal kings saw that they were having a good time, and they also came over to join in the fun.

"Third brother, do you buy one and lose two?"

"Yes!"

"Then I'll bet five hundred armor!"

"I'll bet three hundred ......."

When it was Zhu Chun and Zhu Bai's turn, the two made a decision that was the opposite of everyone else.

"Each of us will give five hundred pairs of armor to the third brother!"

When Zhu Li heard Zhu Chun say this, he immediately gave a thumbs up to the two. ….

"Courageous!"

Zhu Chun asked with a grin.

"Third brother, don't just talk about it, hurry up and calculate how much the odds have risen?"

When Zhu Li heard this, he immediately began to settle accounts, Zhu Rong, Zhu Di, and Zhu Hu were all one thousand, and the other vassal kings had five hundred or three hundred, totaling 5,500 pairs of armor.

"It's less than one to three, if we win, the two of you will pay according to one to three, and the rest will be mine, hahaha!"

"Third brother is atmospheric!"

At this moment, Lao Zhu heard the noise behind him, looked back unhappily, and was so frightened that Zhu Li, who was sitting in the village, shrank his neck on the spot, waved his hand at several younger brothers, and asked them to stay away from him.

Lao Zhu saw that everyone had stopped, glared at the third child unhappily, and just wanted to reprimand him a few words, when there was a sudden sound of fire under the city wall, and he hurriedly turned back to look.

However, Lao Zhu is just looking at it.

At his age, it's good to be able to see the scarecrow in the distance, how can he see the target clearly?

The first time the fire bolt sounded, Zhang Jianghe shouted loudly on the spot.

"Retreat!"

The soldiers who had shot in the first row immediately retreated to the last row when they heard the order, and the soldiers in the second row stepped forward.

Zhang Jianghe did not order the soldiers in the second platoon to shoot, but gave them an order to stand in place, and then ran to Mei Yin to report.

"Returning to the Great General, the first round of shooting is over!"

"Put away the torch and wait for the target!"

"No!"

The little soldiers in the tunnel, after receiving Mei Yin's military order to report the target, crawled out of the tunnel and checked the targets on the scarecrow one by one.

However, after checking it once, everyone checked it again in disbelief, and it was not until they confirmed it again and again that they came to Mei Yin to report the target.

"Report to the general, the first round of 100 cavalry shooting of the Jing Navy, all of them hit the target!"

"Wow!"

Even if Mei Yin faintly saw the results on the target, when he heard it, it was small

When Bing said this, he still felt a shock in his heart.

A hundred firecrackers were all targeted?

These results are already much stronger than Zhu Li's personal guard battalion!

"Isn't that wrong?"

"Could it be that a few were missed?"

"Returning to the general, that's right, I checked the inferior rank three times, and all of them were indeed targeted!"

Mei Yin heard the soldiers' repeated confirmations, jumped off the platform on the spot, rode a fast horse and ran to the city wall to report the good news to the emperor's father-in-law.

"Your Majesty!"

"Great joy!"

When Lao Zhu heard Mei Yin's annunciation, a smile spread across his face.

Needless to say, it must be Jing Haijun's very impressive results, which attracted Mei Yin's kid to run up in person.

Zhu Li stood on the city wall and counted roughly, and he also knew that it was more than eighty, but he couldn't see it clearly from too far away, and he didn't know how much it exceeded.

Therefore, when Mei Yin came up, he, Zhu Chun, and Zhu Bai looked like they were all in their chests, waiting for Mei Yin to report the number with great anticipation.

Relatively speaking, Zhu Rong, Zhu Di and others were completely shocked.

Although it is impossible for them to see every target, the number of targets that they can see clearly is more than eighty.

Such a strong accuracy rate has a subversive perception for them, and even makes them feel a little frightened. ….

Originally, these vassal kings were at a disadvantage, but now that the eldest nephew has such a divine weapon, in the future, the old man will kick his legs, and they, the hard-working vassal kings, will not be bullied to death by the eldest nephew!

Now they prayed for only one thing, and that was that the rate of fire was not fast enough, and that such guns were expensive to build, and only a small number of soldiers could equip them.

Compared with the fear of the Ming vassal kings, the southwestern Tusi and vassal envoys who watched the excitement on the east wall were even more frightened.

Because Daming can be more or less polite when he beats the vassal king, but it's really polite to beat them, how ruthless he is to beat them.

Now that Daming has developed such a sharp firearm, is there still a good life for them?

As soon as Mei Yin ran up the city wall, he was locked by the eyes of the vassal kings and envoys of the vassal kingdom.

Lao Zhu was also very curious about what kind of achievements the eldest grandson's subordinates had made that could lead Mei Yin to climb the city wall in person.

"Mei Yin doesn't need to be polite, let's just talk about the target results!"

Mei Yin said breathlessly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Jing Haijun is holding a new type of firearm developed by the Imperial Grandson, and no one missed the target in the first round of shooting!"

"What!"

As soon as Mei Yin said this, the city wall was full of gasping voices. Zhu Fan rushed up directly, grabbed Mei Yin's collar and asked.

"Mei Yin, you're not lying, are you?"

"There were 100 people in the first round of shooting, how could it be that all of them were targeted?"

"This kind of achievement, even the lone pro-soldier guards can't do it!"

Zhu Li very much hoped that his eldest nephew's Jing Haijun would achieve good results, but when he heard that no one missed the target, he was also messy.

However, his messiness is different from Zhu Zhang, he is angry that Zhu Yunxi is a little thing, and he even hides it, the third uncle!

"Zhu Yunxi, when did you improve the fire gun again, why didn't you say that you would give the third uncle a sample to play with!"

Zhu Yunxi had long since stopped firing the improvement of the gun, and he successively threw the drawings of the flintlock musket, arquebus, and rifle to the workshop, and asked them to study according to the drawings.

Anyway, the fire gun assessment process has been determined a long time ago, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Therefore, now he does not know what generation of guns the Jing Navy uses.

"Third uncle, don't worry, I'll order someone to send you a few later!"

Lao Zhu was also very excited when he heard Mei Yin's report, he had been listening to the eldest grandson blowing the power of the fire gun before, and he had also heard his subordinates tell about the power of the fire gun. But he has never seen it with his own eyes, thinking that his subordinates deliberately said good things to the imperial grandson to coax him in order to curry favor with him.

However, now that he had seen it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears, he was thrilled in his heart

Nothing more.

If the fire gun really has such a high accuracy rate and a range of 100 steps away, then the millions of male soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to sweep the world?

Lao Zhu immediately stopped the noisy crowd and beckoned to the eldest grandson.

"Grandson come here!"

"Alas!"

"Tell us about the rate of fire of your firebolt?"

"Rate of Fire......

"Let's let Grandpa Huang see it for himself!"

Lao Zhu heard the eldest grandson's confident words, and laughed happily on the spot.

"Good!"

"Then we'll see for ourselves!"

"Mei Yin, pass the order, let the drill continue!" ….

"No!"

Mei Yin didn't go down to the city anymore, so he took out two small flags directly from his sleeve and waved them on the city wall.

In a short time, the firearms battalion under the city walls regrouped and fired.

After a volley, the soldiers of the first platoon again retreated, giving way to the second platoon.

Then there is the second row of shooting, and so on and so forth.

The three-stage shooting method is not new in Daming, and Mu Ying used it when he was quelling the rebellion.

However, the seamless segmented shooting is unheard of and unseen.

Lao Zhu listened to the dense sound of firecrackers firing under the city, and only felt that this was the most beautiful music in the world.

In his mind, the spectacular scene of the Northern Yuan Iron Cavalry lining up to eat guns had already emerged.

A group of Northern Yuan cavalry fell under the fire, and the Ming Dynasty went from one victory to another.

Lan Yu, who was dragged up the city wall by Fu Youde, also showed horror on his face when he saw the dense fire shooting scene under the city wall.

No wonder Fu Youde had to pull himself over, daring to love this thing had long known that Zhu Yunxi's improved fire was sharp!

It's just that how did this kid improve the firecracker, and how did he do it continuously?

You must know that this thing is very troublesome, first you have to clean up the gunpowder residue in the gun tube with an iron bar, then pour gunpowder into it, throw the lead bullet into it, and then press it with an iron bar.

Only in this way can the firebolt exert enough power when it is fired.

But in this way, the time was delayed, and the time for them to change the medicine was enough for skilled archers to shoot several rounds of arrows.

However, the Jing Navy soldiers at the bottom, with only five platoons, were able to shoot non-stop, and they were particularly calm, which was surprising.

Lu Song, the envoy of North Korea, looked greedily at the Ming soldiers who were shooting, and his eyes were full of thoughts about taking such sharp weapons for himself.

If they have such a firearm in North Korea, even if they can't counterattack Daming, it will be enough for them to tear off the fat of Liaodong from Daming.

Vietnamese envoy Nguyen Zongliang also saw that his eyes were hot, this was really a divine weapon.

It doesn't take much training time to create an army that even the cavalry is afraid of, and there is really such a good thing in the world?

Just when everyone was surprised by the sharpness of the firearms, Zhang Jianghe gave an order to the soldiers of the first battalion of firearms.

"Everyone, pay attention, the clay pot on the head of the target scarecrow!"

With his order, another round of firecrackers was fired, and everyone standing on the city wall only heard a crisp "click" sound, and hundreds of clay pots were all shattered!

As soon as this scene came out, everyone on the city wall fell silent.

If it is already an exaggeration to hit the target from a hundred paces away, then the current scene is simply a miracle.

Because it is extremely difficult to train a few marksmen in a 100,000 army, how can it not be frightening that there are a hundred marksmen in the small battalion of soldiers below?

Just imagine, on the battlefield, the main general has just shown his head, and he is locked by a hundred marksmen, and then a round of fire will smash the main general's head......

Lao Zhu's face also became gloomy after seeing such a scene.

He thought of something else, and that was that if it leaked out, it would be for him

Life safety is at stake! ….

"Great grandson!"

"How many craftsmen are there who can make these firecrackers?"

"Less than a thousand in total......

"Then all of them will be under the management of the inner court, and all their families and clans will be registered, and there will be those who dare to leak such firearms without permission!"

"Clansman!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't care about the authenticity.

"Grandpa Huang, this move is too much, and now the fire gun is still very immature......

When everyone standing behind Zhu Yunxi heard this, they were so angry that they all scolded their mothers in their hearts.

This is a hundred steps away to take people's heads, like probing for things, you are still immature!

Lao Zhu also had the same thoughts, thinking that the eldest grandson was too annoying to speak, and he couldn't wait to give him a few slaps.

"What else do you want?"

"I don't think about it, I just think this thing can have a longer range and a faster rate of fire......

"For example, increase the effective range to 300 paces, and the rate of fire can reach the level of continuous spit guns......

When everyone heard this, they all secretly sighed, and the grandson of the Emperor of the Heart Dao really dared to think about it, and he wanted to be promoted to three hundred steps away, and he also wanted to spit out a steady stream of guns, why didn't he go to the sky, he had everything in the sky!

Everyone slandered their stomachs, but everyone subconsciously thought about how to defend themselves.

Someone thought of shields, someone thought of armor.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were even more glad that they had purchased a batch of armor some time ago, which was just used to resist the firearms of the Jing Navy.

However, just when everyone thought so, the conversation between the two grandfathers and grandsons directly plunged them into the abyss.

"Grandson, how powerful are these firearms?"

"Usual!"

"At present, it can only be said that it is barely enough, and it is still far from grandchildren's goal!"

"What's enough?"

"Armor can be pierced in less than fifty steps!"

"Hiss......"

When Lao Zhu heard this, the two dragon's eyes widened on the spot. The emperor behind him was even more frightened.

Armor-piercing?

Fifty paces away to break through armor?

Lao Zhu finally understood why the eldest grandson didn't take the armor seriously, this grandson was right, the future war pattern has changed!

After the vassal kings were stunned, they were so angry that they almost vomited blood, and when they looked at Zhu Yunxi, they couldn't wait to eat him alive.

This damn Zhu Yunxi, fooled them into buying a bunch of armor, and then turned his head and researched a fire gun that could break the armor, isn't this taking them as a big boss!

At this point, they have only one thought in their minds, and that is to return the goods!

"Big nephew, you're not particular, we have to return it!"

"Hurry up and take all the armor back and replace it with a firebolt like this!"

"A pair of armor for a firebolt!"

。.
