Seeing Lao Zhu, he was surprised.

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward and said, "Grandpa, after a long period of training, the firecrackers can hit a plank eighty steps away!" ”

"Really?"

A touch of surprise appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

The firecrackers in the Ming army are only a supporting role, because the accuracy is too poor!

Whether you can hit the enemy or not depends on the will of God!

But the new type of firearm made by Taisun is so accurate, it is simply an artifact!

Zhu Yunxi is right.

Qi Jiguang's Qi family army has a fire gun shooting regulations: stand a five-foot-high, two-foot wide wooden card in 80 steps, three shots and one hit, and ten shots and seven shots are fine.

The target was equivalent to a plank the size of a human figure, and the soldiers of the Qi family army had to shoot at a distance of eighty paces.

The arquebus used by the Qi family army also had a crosshair and a light door.

At the same time, Europe did not have it, so Europe's firearms were slightly inferior to China in terms of accuracy.

This led to the platoon shooting tactics adopted in Europe, in which soldiers lined up in a line and stupidly walked towards the enemy, waiting until they were close before firing a salvo.

The kind that almost sticks to the face.

"The tiger squat cannon you said, can you demonstrate it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's interest in firearms seems to be great.

"Here?"

Zhu Yunxi said in his heart, good guy, you really want me to blow up the palace!

"Come with me."

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Qianqing Gate with his hands behind his back.

Turn left crookedly and walk through the left door.

It was a very large clearing, hundreds of meters long.

It is located in front of the Fengxian Hall, north of the East Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to the vermilion palace wall in the distance: "That's it, shoot at the palace wall!" ”

“......”

Zhu Yunxi was speechless.

Why is the old man so tiger?

Seeing his grandson's hesitation, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned: "Can it be done?" ”

"Okay, let's have a shot!"

Zhu Yunxi pushed Li Bin, who was stunned: "What are you doing here, what are you doing!" ”

"Yes......"

Not only Li Bin, but the nearby Jinyi guards are stupid.

Song Zhong stepped forward and persuaded: "Your Majesty, in front of the Fengxian Palace, it's not good......"

Fengxian Hall is the family temple of the royal family, and there are few tablets in it, mainly Zhu Yuanzhang's father Zhu Wusi, grandfather and other tablets.

"It's not the Ancestral Palace, what are you afraid of?"

Zhu Yuanzhang stared and couldn't wait to see the effect.

If you go to the barracks for testing, you have to walk for half a day.

Running with great fanfare, just watch a shot?

I may have to inspect the barracks and delay it for half a day.

There are still hundreds of music that I haven't watched, and I don't have time to go out!

Under Zhu Yunxi's arrangement, the gunners had already begun to set up their guns.

The tiger squat cannon is made of wrought iron, and each time it uses seven or eight taels of gunpowder, it can also be loaded and fired with 100 lead bullets weighing five coins, forming a fan-shaped striking surface in the form of shotguns.

"Turn it down!"

Zhu Yunxi was worried that a shot would hit the outside of the palace and blow up passers-by.

Fortunately, the range of the Tiger Squat Cannon was not far, only 500 meters.

When the angle is lowered, the hit is closer.

And it's not very powerful.

After all, the whole cannon weighed only thirty-six pounds, and the shells were not large.

Equivalent to a mortar.

How powerful can black powder be?

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke: "With the small lead bullet you said, I want to see the range effect!" ”

Want to see shotgun?

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the open space in front of him and roughly estimated.

It should be enough!

"Load your shotguns!"

He sent people to clear the field again, fearing that an unlucky palace person would pass by and be taken away by a cannon.

"Find some planks and put them up there!"

In order to increase the effect of the show, Zhu Yunxi let the wooden board act as a person, and saw the effect of the shotgun more intuitively.

When everything is ready, let's start firing!

"Put!"

"Bang!"

There was a heavy shelling, and the smoke of gunfire filled the air.

Hundreds of lead bullets were fired at the same time, and the projectiles fanned forward like raindrops.

Fifty meters in range, all shrouded!

The few wooden planks erected in the field suddenly seemed to be blown by a hurricane, swept away, and broken into pieces!

Everyone froze.

The scene in front of them was far beyond their understanding.

Where have humans seen shotguns in the fourteenth century?

Even the battle-hardened Zhu Yuanzhang was moved!

"Grandpa, in fact, the Tiger Squat Cannon is only the smallest artillery in the research and development of Sun Er, and there are also large cannons of thousands of catties, the shotguns they shoot are more effective, and the enemies within a hundred steps will be directly turned into minced meat with one shot!"

Zhu Yunxi's words were not shocking, which greatly increased Zhu Yuanzhang's interest.

"Is there really that kind of artifact?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded affirmatively, and said with a serious face: "Grandpa, my grandson wants to form a special unit in charge of firearms, to guard the Beijing division internally, and to prepare for war outside." ”

First to show the power of firearms, and then to develop.

According to the blueprint drawn by Zhu Yunxi, the director of the Shenji Battalion is a strategic mobile force under the direct command of the emperor.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he showed a moving expression.

It's so powerful, why don't you do it?

He immediately said: "Spread the decree, the twelve guards of the pro-army will each transfer the military households that are good at using firearms and hand them over to the emperor's grandson!" ”

Elite soldiers were transferred from the 12 guards of the pro-army to form the Shenji Battalion?

Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed.

This means that the Shenji Battalion will not be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies!

"Your Majesty, how many people are transferred from each guard?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said, "There are three hundred households per bathroom." ”

One hundred and twelve people.......

Zhu Yunxi quickly calculated in his mind: Twelve guards, then a total of four thousand and thirty-two people will be transferred!

Lao Zhu is so generous!

"Grandpa is wise!"

"Regardless of whether I am wise or not, after a while, I will come to the Divine Machine Camp to review it in person."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked serious: "If the Shenji Battalion doesn't work, I will disband it!" ”

Lao Zhu hated others to fool him the most, so he gave the imperial grandson a preventive shot first.

"Yes, my grandson will not fail in his mission!"

Zhu Yunxi's face was full of confidence.

The Shenji Battalion opened a precedent for firearms units in the world.

Zhu Yunxi is only ten years ahead of schedule.

The difference is that the Emperor's Divine Machine Battalion will be equipped with firearms that are 200 years ahead of the world!

I'm so good at technology, if I can't do the cold weapon army.

That's still a hair, just kill yourself and go back!

Return to the East Palace.

Zhu Yunxi began to set up the Shenji Battalion.

The matter of the soldiers was solved by Lao Zhu.

They are all elite soldiers.

There will be no one among the generals who will not open their eyes at this time to embarrass him, the imperial grandson.

I don't know if I will send the elite soldiers of the 12 guards of the pro-army to send!

Zhu Yunxi is mainly a general.

and the development of the formation and training plan of the Shenji Battalion.

"Who will be the commander?"

Blue jade, they are definitely not good, their title is too high, not suitable.

You need to find the younger generation.

Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei?

That is, Xu Yungong, because Zhu Yunxi was made the emperor's grandson, Xu Yungong needed to avoid it, and was given the name Xu Huizu.

Zhu Yunxi thought about it and vetoed Wei Guogong's idea of serving as the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Wei Guogong was the brother-in-law of King Yan.

He was made the emperor's grandson, and it was estimated that the fourth uncle was not convinced at this time.

Your first descendant, let's be stable!

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong.

Not to mention!

Daming God of War, Zhu Yunxi didn't dare to use it!

The second uncle Chang Sheng is not suitable, he is a rough man, good at cavalry combat, and is not suitable for the delicate work of firearms.

After thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi chose Feng Cheng!

Feng Cheng is the nephew of Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, and is currently the Right Governor of the Right Army Governor's Office.

Because Feng Sheng had no son, he inherited the title of his brother Feng Guoyong in his early years.

Therefore, Feng Cheng is equivalent to passing on to Feng Sheng as a son.

Feng Sheng also said that after his death, the title would be inherited by Feng Cheng.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi chose Feng Cheng was because his family was in charge of the twelve guards of the pro-army.

The elite soldiers of the Twelve Guards gathered together at first glance, and it was inevitable that they would not be convinced, and Feng Cheng was appointed as the chief general to facilitate management.

Moreover, Feng Cheng has experience in firearms combat.

In March of the 21st year of Hongwu, the Ming army crusaded against Silunfa under the command of Mu Ying.

In the Battle of Dingbian, Mu Ying ordered the use of the "three-stage attack" tactic and divided the army into three teams.

Governor Feng Cheng led the front team, Governor Tong Zhiliao led the left team, and Tang Zhao led the right team, defeating the rebels of the Silunfa Department in one fell swoop.

has a relationship, has experience, has good ability, and is still a relative of his own.

Zhu Yunxi immediately made a decision, and the position of the master of the Shenji Battalion was Feng Cheng!
