Chapter 55: We're Not Targeting You

In fact, this kind of gun formation is not without disadvantages in the face of cavalry, for example, when facing the cavalry charge, it is still necessary to ensure the smoothness of the formation, and cannot be frightened by the cavalry rushing.

This is a great test for the soldiers, you must know that the overwhelming power of the cavalry charge is not something that ordinary people can bear, and it is not an easy task for the soldiers to maintain the courage of Mount Tai in front of the collapse of Mount Tai in the face of this kind of charge.

The so-called ten rounds of shooting are based on the fact that these soldiers will not retreat, and can still line up and switch smoothly in the face of cavalry charges.

However, the gun array has shortcomings, and the cavalry naturally has it, and they are not all fierce and fearless people, as long as the casualties reach a certain percentage, I am afraid that they will have collapsed before they can rush to the front of the gun array.

And before the cavalry rushed through these two hundred paces, the spear team in the line had zero casualties, and the charging cavalry was not.

After directing the gun team to shoot a few rounds at the 50-step target, Li Wei turned to the 100-step target again, and after a burst of gunfire, he turned to the 150-step target again.

The target is designed to be enlarged, and the hit rate is not the focus of his demonstration, anyway, as long as the firepower is dense enough.

There will definitely be a lot of problems in actual use, which requires the generals to explore slowly, and he is not a military expert, and the use of soldiers is just a layman's experience.

"Brother Huang, what kind of firearm is this? It's so powerful! ”

Zhu Di looked at the array on the school field with bright eyes at this time, and asked Zhu Biao beside him eagerly. Amazing surprise!

Although he is young, his vision is not bad, and at this moment he has even thought of the war scene dominated by firearms on the battlefield in the future!

"This is called a flintlock pistol, which was invented by Li Wei, who commanded the military formation on the field, and he also came up with this gun array."

When Zhu Di heard this, he immediately set his eyes on Li Wei, and his greedy look was as if he had seen a peerless beauty.

"Li Wei? Is it Li Wei who proposed to His Majesty to abolish Zhongshu Province? ”

"Uh, exactly."

Zhu Biao said a little embarrassed, his father was so cheating people, which made his face dull when he was a son.

"Li Wei, what a genius, Li Wei ......"

Zhu Di listened, looked at Li Wei from a distance, and muttered in a whisper.

After firing hundreds of shots at the 150-step target, Li Wei ordered the demonstration to be halted and brought the queue back to the front of the stands.

"Your Majesty, the gun array drill is complete, please give instructions to Your Majesty!"

"Good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted with satisfaction, and then said:

"Li Wei, you have great merit, I want to reward you heavily!"

When Li Wei heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and secretly said that this was stable.

"Passing the decree, Li Wei made firearms, organized and trained military formations, skillfully won the heavens, appointed as the squire of the Ministry of Works, ranked the third grade, and continued to lead the cabinet affairs."

Hearing that he was suddenly promoted, Li Wei felt a little surprised in his heart, he didn't care about the size of the official position, although the higher the official, the higher the Lu, but now he can't look down on this money at all.

But I still have to thank you.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After thinking about it, Li Wei said again: "Your Majesty, the manufacture of firearms and the training of gun formations are not the work of one minister, and I hope that Your Majesty will learn from it." ”

"Well, that's right, the soldiers who participated in the drill today will each be rewarded with ten strokes, Song Zhong will be promoted to one hundred households, and each person in the Military War Bureau will be rewarded with ten pounds, and the head of the department will be ranked seven times, and the steward will be from seven grades."

Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded everyone, and Song Zhong and all the soldiers and others thanked him.

After everyone retreated, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Li Wei was still standing there stupidly, so he asked:

"Why are you still standing here?"

"Huh?"

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, this is the end? Where's my money?

"Stand down." Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and said.

“……”

Although he was anxious, he didn't dare to ask Lao Zhu directly for money on this occasion, so he could only endure it and retreat first.

After the reward, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned the generals to go to the Wuying Hall to discuss matters.

And Li Wei, on the other hand, rarely did not leave early, but waited until Zhu Yuanzhang finished his deliberations, and then went to the Qianqing Palace to meet him.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is still satisfied with this exercise, right?"

Li Wei hurriedly saluted, and then asked anxiously.

"Yes, satisfied."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded lightly.

"And what about the bounty that Your Majesty promised me?"

"Oh, that's what you say."

Zhu Yuanzhang woke up, then turned around and ordered: "Xu Shou, give it to him." ”

"Yes."

Xu Shou took out the ten treasure bills and handed them to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the ten treasure bills and said puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what you said at that time should be a bounty, right?" ”

"Yes, this is Wanjin."

Li Wei was stunned and said angrily: "How can this be ten thousand gold? This is clearly just a ten-run treasure banknote! ”

"Ten thousand gold is ten banknotes, don't believe you ask others."

Li Wei turned his gaze to Xu Shou, Xu Shou smiled and said: "Lord Li, ten thousand gold is ten thousand copper coins, if Lord Li doesn't want the treasure money, the slave maid will exchange it for copper coins for you?" ”

"What? Ten thousand gold is copper money? ”

"Yes, Master Lee."

Li Wei is stupid, there is such a statement? Isn't this a pit man?

"How can ten thousand gold be copper coins?"

Li Wei asked Zhu Yuanzhang angrily.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, not angry, and said lightly: "Isn't it just copper coins, you can read more books if you have nothing to do, you don't even know this, it's really ignorant!" ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang is playing a word game, when the general reward, it is said that the reward is how much and how many taels, and it is more vague to say that ten thousand gold, gold only refers to money, with copper coins as money, that is, copper coins, and silver as money, that is, silver taels, in various times and environments, the currency is different, and the meaning of ten thousand gold is also different.

Li Wei's face turned red, and he glared at Zhu Yuanzhang with fire in his eyes.

"What, don't you? Don't give it back to us. Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and glanced at him contemptuously.

"I want it!"

Li Wei gritted his teeth and said, although Shiguan is not worth mentioning compared to the golden taels he expected, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.

In fact, ten yuan is not less, equivalent to half a year's income of ordinary people, but now Li Wei is already a large amount of money with a monthly income of thousands of yuan, of course, this money is not eye-catching.

"It's hard to work so long, just give it like this, it's really ......" Li Wei muttered quietly as he put the money away.

"Are you too little? Didn't we give you a promotion, from the fifth grade to the third grade, that is a promotion of four levels in a row, you should thank our emperor for his grace! ”

Li Wei rolled his eyes, he didn't care about the big and small officials.

"Oh, by the way, our Daming Law has a rule that officials of the fourth grade and above are not allowed to do business, you know this, right? When you get back, stop your business. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked like he had just remembered, and then explained: "We didn't mean to target you, this law has already existed." ”

Li Wei's mind was stunned, he also remembered that there is such a clause in the law, looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's selfless appearance, he wanted to scold his mother in his heart.

You didn't mean to target me?
