Chapter 33: Defend the Palace
The Hongwu cannon also shocked many people, even the people of the surrounding countries and races, when they saw the cannon of the Ming Dynasty, they were terrified.
But I have to admit that these countries that did not have gunpowder and cannons did everything possible to get back gunpowder and steal design drawings from the Ming Dynasty.
These countries went back and developed their own cannons and weapons, but the Ming Dynasty thought that the current weapons were already very powerful.
So I haven't continued to study the following.
Therefore, even after hundreds of years, the increase in the power of the cannon is extremely limited, which is still in the same state as at the beginning.
If such a cannon was used to attack the enemy, Chen Yang did not dare to guarantee that he would be able to make the enemy retreat.
So when he told Zhu Yuanzhang before that his three methods, he actually didn't plan to include these ancient cannons of the Ming Dynasty, but had other ideas.
Zhu Yuanzhang is like that now, when he looks at Chen Yang occasionally looking like Zhu Youzhen, he looks like he hates iron but not steel, and he knows that Chen Yang will definitely help him.
Since Chen Yang didn't count the cannons here now, it meant that Chen Yang had other plans.
Sure enough, Chen Yang opened his mouth and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Don't forget, which historical period I told you before is one of the heydays of the Ming Dynasty."
"Even if the power of the cannons of that period did not increase much, the number of them was sufficient."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, because he already knew which historical period Chen Yang was talking about, and he blurted out.
"You mean to say, let's go to the Yongle Dynasty?"
Chen Yang nodded with a smile: "You are right, but I didn't say that we are going to the Yongle Dynasty, and there will definitely be plenty of cannons and shells to lend us when we get there." ”
After Chen Yang said this, he was thinking again, he needed Zhu Youzhen to do something here.
After all, after they left, in case Zhu Youzhen pulled his crotch again, and when they brought the cannon back, it would be equivalent to giving Li Zicheng a gift.
So before they came back, they had to let Zhu Youzhen resist, so Chen Yang asked Zhu Youzhen.
"How many brocade guards are there to use?"
"There are five hundred, but that's too far from the number of enemies." Although Zhu Youzhen also knew that Jinyi Wei was all masters, he was too much worse than the enemy.
Chen Yang didn't think so, when he learned that there were still five hundred brocade guards to call, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he spoke.
"These people are enough, you let all the Jinyi guards learn how to operate the cannon as soon as possible, so that all of them can become skilled soldiers using cannons."
"I don't believe it, these five hundred cannons have not scared all these enemies at the city gate to death."
Zhu Youzhen didn't know where to find five hundred cannons, but he could imagine it.
If five hundred cannons were fired together, it would indeed scare the enemy, and those five hundred cannons could kill thousands of enemies in just one attack.
So there was a glint of hope in his eyes.
He nodded desperately to show that he understood what Chen Yang said, and Chen Yang continued to say.
"Mobilize some more men, these are the people who will transport the cannonballs and assist the five hundred brocade guards, so that they also know how to control the cannons and how to help."
"One of the simplest requirements of these people is that they have to obey orders, and that they have enough physical strength to be able to transport shells."
After Zhu Youzhen heard Chen Yang mention this request, he still nodded desperately, because it was not too difficult for him.
It's just that in the past, even if a few thousand more people were transferred, the problem could not be solved.
After all, these people don't have cannons in their hands, not to mention that he doesn't have the confidence to stop Li Zicheng's people.
Since Chen Yang's orders can save the Ming Dynasty from the most critical moment, of course he agreed to it all.
"Before we come back, we must use crowd tactics to block all enemies, no matter what the situation is, at least the palace must be defended."
"If you have lost all the palaces before we come back, then even if we come back, we will not have the ability to return to heaven."
After Chen Yang said this, before Zhu Youzhen could answer, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table, and then said to Zhu Youzhen.
"Let's tell you that if you can't do this, don't say that we come back and pull your head, even if you get down, we will kick you out of the list of the old Zhu family."
"If you can't hold this capital, let's not say anything, you are so stupid, the same number of people can't hold the capital."
"If you can't even defend the palace, then we can only say that you are really helpless."
"In the end, it really can't be done, so I will transfer all the people around the palace and fight them with wave after wave of people."
Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning is very simple, that is, according to the method of crowd tactics mentioned by Chen Yang, no matter how many lives are used to fill it.
In short, it is necessary to achieve the goal that the palace cannot be breached by Li Zicheng.
He also understood that if the palace was breached, no matter how many cannons and men were hoisted, it would be useless.
Zhu Youzhen was extremely serious when he heard this, if he was allowed to hold the capital, maybe he didn't have this confidence.
But if he was just asked to guard a palace, he also knew that this was to keep the last glimmer of hope for the Ming Dynasty.
This is also to save his life, so Zhu Youzhen nodded vigorously, and he said viciously.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I won't let the palace fall into the hands of the enemy."
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's assurance, Zhu Yuanzhang taught Zhu Youzhen a few more words, and then let Zhu Youzhen go out to do things.
Now that he and Chen Yang have completed the entire plan, they just need to let Zhu Youzhen do what the two of them say.
If Zhu Youzhen still can't do this, then Zhu Yuanzhang can only return to the historical period before Zhu Youzhen, and simply not let Zhu Youzhen sit in the position of this emperor.
After Chen Yang saw that everyone was gone, he took Zhu Yuanzhang to a room.
Because he wanted to use the ability of the system to take Zhu Yuanzhang back to the Yongle Dynasty.
After Zhu Yuanzhang was ready, Chen Yang used the system's ability to teleport.
