Chapter Ninety-Nine: Resolutely Against the Imperial Grandson!
Zhu Yunxi prepared to divide the 4,000 people of the Shenji Battalion into 3,600 firecrackers and 400 artillerymen.
There are no cavalry, and they will be added later.
Don't look at the artillery only 400 people, at present, the tiger squat artillery is the mainstay, two people and one cannon, there are 200 guns.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no heavy artillery like the Hongyi cannon, and there was not even the slightly weaker Franc cannon.
It was a product of a hundred years later.
Most of the artillery at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty weighed only twenty or thirty kilograms, which was about the same as the Tiger Squat Cannon.
The biggest guy is also seventy-five kilograms, which is one hundred and fifty pounds.
It's not very powerful, the caliber is about the same as a bowl, and it belongs to melee trolls.
The Divine Machine Battalion is not going to use it.
It is also necessary to use more advanced artillery.
Such as the kind of large artillery that weighs thousands of pounds.
Rapid-fire rear-loading guns.
There are also Divine Fire Crows, Cluster Rockets, etc.
Making cannons is a technical job.
Large artillery, especially breech loading, requires high casting technology.
At this time, people's understanding of thermodynamics and foundry was still in its infancy.
Especially for cannon casting, this is a professional science.
Zhu Yunxi has seen the iron mold method and Rodman cannon casting method in the novel, which seems simple, and the protagonist can build thousands of heavy cannons with a wave of his hand.
In order to achieve this, it is necessary to master many skills.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it is not that it cannot be realized, but it is necessary to first get the necessary technologies of coke blast furnace ironmaking technology (coke provides high temperature and strength), water turbine technology (power blast), and hot air technology (cast iron hot air pipe or refractory brick regenerator).
Then there is the manufacture of cooling water pipes, and the technology of round pipe rolling is not necessary.
Wrought iron pipes can be manually hammered by craftsmen or thin-walled pig iron pipes can be cast directly to make connections, and the hardware is not much of a problem.
Again, the difficulty lies in how to determine the relationship between water velocity and temperature change, which involves specific quantification problems.
Of course, as a traverser, Zhu Yunxi is still the grandson of the emperor and has enough capital to consume.
As long as the scale of Daming's ironmaking keeps up, and the silver is willing to be thrown into the research and development project, it is not a big problem.
There is no need to take detours, the knowledge he has is far beyond this era, and he is Zhu Yunxi's biggest golden finger!
If Zhu Yunxi is willing and willing to take the time, the original version of Gatlin can be made for him!
In short, with Zhu Yunxi's hanging force, the weapons of war of mankind have to be at least two or three hundred years in advance!
Now there are too many jobs for the emperor's grandson, and there is still a lot of political and economic things to be innovated.
At present, Daming has no strong opponents, and there is no need to rush to order the technology tree at all.
With the current strength of the Ming army, it is enough to dominate Asia!
(At this time, the Timurid Empire paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and only two years later did it detain the Ming envoys and declare war!) )
Zhu Yunxi is ready to touch this invincible empire in Central Asia in the future!
Look at how Timur's boastful 200,000 to win the Ming Dynasty was blown through!
......
The East Palace is preparing for the Shenji Camp, but some people are in a hurry.
The imperial grandson is actually in charge of the army!
Your father has never commanded the army, so you did this as soon as you came?
You are the emperor's grandson.
OK!
Even if you become emperor in the future.
You can too!
Let's just bear with it.
But it's not good for you to meddle in the army!
If Zhu Yunxi was an ordinary vassal king, it would be nothing to lead the troops by himself, after all, Emperor Zhu had already killed those who opposed the vassal king's command.
But he is the emperor's grandson, so that's absolutely not good!
The weak emperor is the favorite of civil officials.
As long as the emperor is obedient, polite, and not rude, they can praise him as a generation of saints!
The minister's biggest concern was that the emperor was in charge of the army.
Since ancient times, emperors who like to fight are rough people, and no civil officials like them.
Because this kind of emperor who is happy with great achievements often despises Wenchen and does not play cards according to common sense.
He beats officials at every turn, and cuts people when he has a temper.
Who can stand this?
Therefore, the crown prince is in charge of the army, which is a red flag.
The imperial grandson must be a strong emperor in the future!
Can't let him continue!
Even the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Zhan Hui couldn't sit still.
Mobilize the Imperial History to oppose this matter.
Fengtianmen, early dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the throne.
Zhu Yunxi, the imperial grandson, stood beside him.
Looking down, there is a piece of ramie silk court clothes below.
There are red and blue clothes, the complement of the crane, the complement of the peacock, the complement of the pig, the jade belt, the rhino horn belt, and the full of clothes and beasts.
At this time, this group of officials dressed in animal court clothes were engaged in a heated debate.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it expressionlessly.
Zhu Yunxi tilted his head, slightly interested.
The grandfather and grandson quietly watched the officials below engage in a war of words.
It's just because of the Divine Machine Camp.
"The emperor's grandson is the prince of the country, and it is against tradition to personally train soldiers and horses!"
The one who spoke was a superintendent of the Imperial Inspectorate named Ye Xixian.
This must be a dog sent by Zhan Hui to bite people!
Daming Iron Mouth Ling Han decided to stand up and say a few words.
He asked aloud, "What tradition?" Whose traditions? ”
Then he hugged his fist at Zhu Yuanzhang on the throne: "Your Majesty lifted the three-foot sword, personally led the army of tigers and wolves to cleanse the heroes, set down the chaos, expel the Tartars, restore China, level the day, and build a mixed one, this is the tradition of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
Ye Xixian, the superintendent of the imperial history, was not convinced, and also said loudly: "The Yellow Emperor, Yao, and Shun hang down their clothes and rule the world, cover all the world, if they are determined today, those who are kings should live in peace and hang their clothes!" ”
Hanging clothes and ruling means hanging clothes and being able to govern the world, which is used to praise the emperor for ruling without doing anything.
The civil servants liked it the most.
At the court meeting, Ling Han and Ye Xixian were still arguing loudly.
Both are imperial histories.
The quarrel between the two imperial histories is like this, and it is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Ye Xixian felt that he was invincible to Tiezui, he contacted some of his comrades in advance, and several imperial historians stood up to jointly crusade against Ling Han.
For a moment, Ling Han was drowning in saliva.
However, after all, he had a record of fighting alone in eight imperial histories, and he stood indifferently in the siege of everyone.
Looking at everyone with horizontal eyebrows and raised eyes, Ling Han just sneered: "It's just a divine machine battalion, and it stepped on your tail?" ”
As the crown prince, the last thing he lacks is licking dogs.
Some officials immediately jumped out to help Ling Han speak.
On the surface, he was helping Ling Han, but in fact, he was speaking for the emperor's grandson.
More than a dozen mouths are in the horn, and now it is even more lively!
Zhu Yunxi watched it with relish.
The heart said that the officials were infighting, and the position of the Zhan Hui Metropolitan Procuratorate would be lost!
The two sides are incompatible with each other and are in contention.
In the end, Ye Xixian and the others were not strong in combat, and after several confrontations, they were dumbfounded by the iron-mouthed Ling Han.
The civil servants could not criticize Zhu Yunxi in legal theory, and could only cite some moral reasons.
"The soldiers are in danger and the war is fierce, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and the emperor's grandson dances the knife to rob the peace!"
It was natural for the emperor to attach importance to the army, but some civil officials did not see it that way.
They felt that the emperor should not be in the middle of anything except to be courteous!
Anything that gives full play to one's personality is a trouble for our civil officials!
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt that the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty didn't seem to treat the emperor as a person!
Rather, it is regarded as an organization without emotion, and only needs to perform its duties step by step.
Lao Zhu has been fighting for more than ten years, but since he became the emperor, he has vigorously studied cultural knowledge and has become elegant.
In the history books: ancient rituals, making rituals and making music, repairing the Ming Dynasty, raising and abolishing the fall, setting the suburbs, building schools, respecting Confucius, advocating Confucianism, and cultivating talents.
Civilian officials are trying to reform Zhu Yuanzhang.
It's a pity that it failed.
Lao Zhu just used them to consolidate his rule, and he made a show on the surface, but in fact he didn't do what they asked him to do.
For example, to master the army, Zhu Yuanzhang has never let go.
Not only did he not let go, but he also let his sons take charge of the army.
I promised you not to go on the expedition again, but my son could lead the army for me.
Are you angry?
When the emperor is the emperor, he likes to be noisy in the court the most.
It's better to be noisy than one-sided.
If there is a dispute, the superior can come forward and make a final decision.
Save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Firearms are the secret skills of the military state, and the emperor's grandson set up a magic machine battalion to gather advanced firearms drills, which is a major matter of the country, and I support it."
Zhu Yuanzhang decided the matter.
"Your Majesty!" Ye Xixian shouted.
"Stand down!"
Zhu Yuanzhang is not angry and arrogant.
He really didn't want to kill anymore.
Especially the speech officials.
Get!
No more play.
Zhan Hui shook his head secretly and glared at Ling Han fiercely.
This force is always a bad thing!
