Chapter 139: Zhu Yuanzhang hand-picks Tang He to go to the Wa Kingdom
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and continued:
"I've been having nightmares every night lately."
"Countless souls who died tragically at the hands of the Japanese in the dream, cry to me, give us a dream, and let me avenge them!"
"I am always awakened and determined to avenge the people of the Ming Dynasty!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Except for Xu Da, Tang He, Li Wenzhong and others, who are determined to exterminate the Japanese like Zhu Yuanzhang.
One by one, the other courtiers fell to their knees.
shouted 'The minister is incompetent and cannot share the worries of His Majesty'.
Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang's words of avenging the people's grievances still deeply moved these courtiers.
Although, if Zhu Yuanzhang moves out of the people's souls and dreams, he can't deceive everyone.
But the number of dead and injured people that Tang He said just now is still shocking.
In addition, there have been cases of empty seals and fraud by officials in Yangzhou in the DPRK and China recently, and Zhu Yuanzhang has arrested and killed a large number of officials.
Everyone is worried that the emperor will arrest another batch of officials because of this.
Now it can be seen that the emperor is very determined, if anyone dares to obstruct this matter again, I am afraid that the ancestral tomb will have to be picked up!
At this time, only Fu Youwen, the head of the household, stood up when everyone was silent.
Suddenly asked: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how long are you going to fight this battle?" ”
"No matter how long you fight, you have to fight!"
"This battle is about my great tomorrow, the dignified people of China, how can I let the Japanese slaughter?"
Zhu Yuanzhang knew Fu Youwen and it was very hard to manage the money bags of the imperial court.
But at this time, it is about the future of the Ming Dynasty, and if you don't move, you can't fight the Japanese slaves who have to turn over.
However, seeing Fu Youwen's sad face, he was obviously worried about military spending.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly added.
"Fu Aiqing, don't worry, now the bird gun has been made, and the power is twice as powerful as the traditional fire gun."
"And the wolf is specially used to restrain the blades of the Japanese slaves."
"The equipment is superior, I can win the battle safely, and this battle will not drag on for too long! You don't need a lot of troops! ”
Fu Youwen opened his mouth, and it could be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind.
In the end, he still didn't say anything about his grievances.
I can only sigh:
"May Your Majesty triumph as soon as possible!"
The issue of military spending was finalized.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood, so he asked:
"This expedition to the Wa Kingdom, because of the conflict with the Northern Expedition, Tiande, Song Guogong, and Yingchuan Hou don't need to think about it, can other Aiqing volunteer to act as the commander of the extermination of the Wa Kingdom?"
The battle plan for the Northern Expedition had already been drawn up, and Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, served as the commander and coordinated the three-way army.
Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guo, and Fu Youde, the Hou of Yingchuan, served as the deputy commanders of the left and right armies respectively, and attacked Liaodong and Shaanxi and Gansu respectively.
These three people were excluded from the expedition to the Japanese kingdom by Zhu Yuanzhang.
As soon as the words fell, a group of generals came out to ask for battle.
"Minister, Li Wenzhong is willing to go!"
"Minister, Tang He, please fight!"
"Minister, Deng Yueyuan will lead the army to go!"
"Minister, Geng Bingwen please fight!"
“…”
Looking at the murderous generals under the steps, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and smiled.
Finally, he directly named him:
"Let's go to Zhongshan!"
In recent years, Zhongshan Houtanghe has been supervising the army in Fujian and Zhejiang, and has fought against the Japanese invaders many times, and is most familiar with the Japanese invaders.
From Tang He's expedition to the Japanese Kingdom, Zhu Yuanzhang was the most assured.
Although the Ming army had the weapons of bird guns and wolf swords to defeat the enemy, it was not a problem to exterminate the Japanese at all.
But in the face of the choppy ocean island country, Tang He, who has experience in maritime warfare, seems to be more secure.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's roll call, Zhongshan Houtanghe knelt on the ground:
"The last general, Tang He, is willing to open up territory for His Majesty!"
"Haha, Zhongshan Hou has you on the expedition for me, I am very pleased!"
"After the court meeting, I will urge the Ministry of Industry to rush to produce the bird gun and the wolf gun as soon as possible, Zhongshan Hou will be familiar with these two new weapons as soon as possible, once the Ministry of Industry has formulated the bird gun and the wolf gun, equip the army, and the army will go on the expedition immediately!"
"Thank Your Majesty for your trust, and the minister will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust!"
was appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang to go out to fight against the Japanese commander, and Tang He knelt on the ground to receive the order.
The next court meeting was to finalize the details of sending troops to the Japanese country.
When he arrived in the next dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was in good spirits and called Shangzhong to wait for Tang He, and Li Boyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, led the way to the Ministry of Industry.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the power of the bird and the wolf.
……
"Your Majesty, this thing is a newly made bird's gun!"
Came to the martial arts arena where the Ministry of Industry tested weapons.
Li Boyuan personally took the bird gun and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"So light?"
Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to try the performance of the bird.
As a result, it was found that it was nearly half lighter than the traditional firecracker.
"Your Majesty, most of the weight of the gun is above the barrel."
"In the past, in order to ensure airtightness, the blacksmith would roll the iron sheet very thickly in order to ensure airtightness, so the whole gun became extremely heavy."
"The barrel made of a hydraulic hammer does not need to be stacked, so it is much lighter."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Although he had heard Lin Che say about this, after seeing the real thing, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Boyuan asked for matching gunpowder and lead bullets.
Then he began to reload the birds.
The loading process for an arquebus like this is almost the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor who has experienced countless battles in his life, easily loaded the bird gun with gunpowder and lead bullets.
In the case that Tang He and Li Boyuan did not react.
Aim at the target not far away and pull the trigger of the bird's gun!
Liu He, the personal eunuch who followed Zhu Yuanzhang, was anxious and quick.
As the guns fell, they rushed straight to the shooting range.
Then he took the red paint, drew a few circles of grass targets, and shouted excitedly:
"Right on target!"
"Your Majesty's Divine Marksmanship!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, thinking that the little eunuch was patting on the back.
As a result, after the target was taken, where the target was on the right side, there were traces of the projectile passing through!
Although this shot, did not hit the bull's-eye.
But today's early firecrackers are due to various reasons such as air tightness.
When a shot is fired, the bullet doesn't know where it is going.
It is all about platoon guns that can show their power.
However.
According to Lin Che's drawings, the bird gun made could be hit with one shot.
With such a high hit rate, it can be said that it is shocking.
"Your Majesty, this kind of bird gun has directly improved the progress of the Ministry of Industry's research on fire guns by fifty years!"
Li Boyuan saw Zhu Yuanzhang's shock, and couldn't help but praise the bird.
At this time, someone sent another wolf.
Li Boyuan held this big bamboo with iron blades hanging on the branches.
couldn't help but praise Zhu Yuanzhang:
"Your Majesty, the minister has tried to find someone to use a sword, no matter how you chop it, it is not the opponent of the wolf."
"If you are assisted by a sword and shield hand, and the same number of people fight, the Japanese will be defeated!"
"The person who gets along with the bird gun and such weapons is really a military genius, I wonder if the minister can meet with them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the wolf and danced a few times in his hand.
immediately realized that what Li Boyuan said was true, and immediately handed the wolf whisk to Tang He next to him.
Tang He had fought directly with the Japanese in Fujian and Zhejiang, and of course knew the power of the Japanese sword.
Now after a few tricks, I immediately realized the power of this weapon.
I was amazed.
I don't know if Your Majesty has never played against the Japanese Invaders, how can he design such an artifact to defeat the enemy.
The admiration for Zhu Yuanzhang in my heart is a little more!
