I want to be a grandson

Chapter 326 Conspiracy?Yang conspiracy!
Back in the Hall of Wuying, Zhu Yuanzhang stroked the pistol in his hand, really couldn't put it down.

Zhu Yun said: "Grandfather, these two short muskets were specially made by my grandson. Because they are much shorter than ordinary muskets, my grandson called them pistols.
It is dedicated to you, and all the materials are selected, so you can take a look at it and give it back. "

The handles of these two pistols are made of ivory and decorated with gold thread. The dragon heads on the guns are also in the shape of a dragon. Overall, they look quite luxurious and extraordinary.

This is just his appearance, the barrel used inside, and every part is made of fine steel that has been forged through thousands of years of tempering to ensure that it will not explode.

You must know that when Zhu Yuanzhang used it, if the chamber exploded and the emperor was injured, it would be a great sin!
Therefore, the craftsmen strive for perfection when building it, and ensure that there will be no mistakes, so they dare to deliver it for use.

Looking at the two pistols in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded frequently and said, "Satisfied! Satisfied! Of course we are satisfied! It's rare that you have such a heart!"

"Can your uncle Wang see these muskets, can they still sit still? Didn't they ask you for them?"

Zhu Yunxi replied with a smile: "Grandfather Mingjian, only the second uncle asked for it, and the other uncles probably didn't like it, so they didn't ask."

"But grandson thinks, Daming's soldiers and horses are not equipped with such muskets for the time being, and it will take time to build them.
So the grandson thought that he needed to keep it secret now, so that he could not be detected by the enemy, so that when he met on the battlefield in the future, he would be able to catch them by surprise! "

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed very much and said: "You are right! It is indeed not appropriate to disclose it now. Since no one else is interested, then there is no need to give it to them!"

How could Zhu Yuanzhang not know, this is just Zhu Yunxi's rhetoric, who wouldn't want such a musket?
Who doesn't want to improve the combat ability of their soldiers and horses?

It's not that his sons don't want it, it's just that they haven't had time to speak!
Glancing at Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yunxi said, "Grandpa Emperor, grandson wants to expand the guard camp to 1 people. What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and sneered, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly! You want to test our roots!"

Zhu Yunxi immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the grandpa, so the grandson will just say it."

Then Zhu Yunxie said what was in his mind, "Grandfather, according to the regulations in the Ming Dynasty Code, it is said that every hundred households need to be equipped with ten soldiers and horses for activities, 20 signboard players, 30 archers, and 40 long-term soldiers. [-] gunmen."

In the 13th year of Hongwu, the imperial court formally issued an order: "One hundred households in every army, ten guns, twenty knives, thirty bows and arrows, and forty guns."

Zhu Yunxi continued: "My grandson wants to build a separate battalion of soldiers and horses, named the Shenji Battalion. This battalion will be equipped with a large number of muskets, as well as various cannons and firecrackers, mainly firearms."

"The rest of the archers, spearmen, including the cavalry, are all assisting in killing the enemy, and strive to use their firearms to the extreme! I don't know what the emperor thinks?!"

Of course Zhu Yunxi knew that hot weapons would be the main weapon of later generations, and cold weapons would gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Since I have such insights, I must lead Daming on this road in advance!

As long as the power of firearms can be fully exerted, then the soldiers of Ming Dynasty will be invincible!

And in terms of personnel damage, it will also reduce a lot...

Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "If it really achieves what you said and can play a great role on the battlefield, how many soldiers and horses does the Shenji Battalion need?"

Zhu Yunxie said bluntly: "Sun Er thinks that [-] soldiers are needed in the initial stage, and [-] soldiers are best in the mid-term. After the training of the Shenji Battalion is mature, it will not be too late to expand."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "Then, as you said, the Shenji Battalion has confirmed 3 troops for the time being, and you can handle all the guns and artillery by yourself."

"Grandson obeys! Thank you, Grandpa Huang!"

In history, the Artifact Battalion is the famous firearms unit.

And this army has a lot to do with Annan!
Annan had excellent firearm technology in the Middle Ages. After Zhu Di conquered Jiaozhi, he obtained a large amount of Annan's firearm technology.

The Ming Dynasty called it the "magic machine gun method", and even Prince Annan was captured by the Ming Dynasty and came back to develop firearms.

Hu Yuancheng was the eldest son of Hu Jisuo, the monarch of Annan Hu Dynasty. He was later captured by the Ming army and served in the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty.

This person was very good at making weapons, especially sharp guns and firearms, so he was awarded an official position by the Ming Dynasty.

According to the records of "Ming Shilu", Ming Chengzu ordered him to "supervise the construction of soldiers, arrows and gunpowder". This man was later called the "God of Firearms" by the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing the power of firearms, Zhu Di specially set up the "Shenji Battalion".

The battalion was equipped with muskets, firecrackers, etc., and later added matchlock guns. It was one of the most elite firearms units in the world at that time.

However, the scale of the Shenji Camp formed by Zhu Di was not large at that time.
The strength of the Shenji Battalion is 600 infantry, all equipped with firearms, 1000 cavalry, and 400 artillery. They are mainly responsible for managing field heavy artillery and large and small continuous artillery.

But later, the Shenji camp continued to expand one after another. By the time of Xuande and Zhu Zhanji, the Shenji camp had expanded to tens of thousands of people.

In the third year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, when he was rectifying the Shenji Battalion Wu, Yang Wuhou once said:
"The old Shenji Battalion consisted of left whistle, right whistle, left yeh, right yeh, 71 divisions of the Chinese army, and accompanying cavalry officers, with a total of [-] people."

"Wang Zhong, go and bring your brother to the Jiyi Hall."

On the way back to the East Palace, Wang Zhong was stunned when he heard His Highness's order.

Immediately, he knelt down and kowtowed excitedly: "Yes! I obey! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunxi summoned his confidants to Wenhua Hall again.

Now that the Japanese slave country has been completely cut off, and their missions have been killed, it is necessary to deal with the aftermath.

Xu Huizu said: "Your Highness, my subordinates think that we should do a good job of preventing Japanese pirates in the coastal areas. Over the years, Japanese pirates have been harassing the coastal areas of Daming. At some point, they will come to loot again!"

Sheng Yong also said: "It is right to order the coastal guards to guard against Japanese pirates. The subordinates feel that they should also take this opportunity to rectify the soldiers and horses of the guards, so as not to let them slack off."

"Ningbo, Linshan, Shanghai, and Songjiang are alerted by Japanese pirates, and they are actually allowed to retreat unscathed. It really shouldn't be..."

"That's right, Your Highness, these Japanese pirates come and go as soon as they say they want, and our Daming navy is not a rich man, so we can't indulge them like this!"

Everyone had a heated discussion on the issue of Japanese pirates.

The content of the discussion was how to guard against the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates really came to harass them, how to deal with them, how to ensure the safety of the people, and how to fight back to kill these Japanese pirates.

Seeing that everyone is discussing in full swing, if the discussion continues, it will probably become a debate.

"Dong dong dong..."

Zhu Yunxie knocked on the table, and everyone quieted down.

Zhu Yunxi ordered: "Xu Huizu, you are from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, discuss this matter with the generals and ask them to come up with a statement."

Xu Huizu took the order and said: "Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Zhu Yunxi said to the crowd: "I have asked you to come here today, there is another important matter."

"We discussed together before, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu achieved peace between the North and the South by deceitful means. In fact, people in the Wanu country are divided into two factions, with undercurrents surging."

"Since this is the case, it leaves room for us to do things. I intend to support the Guishan faction, which is the former Southern Dynasty power of Prince Huailiang. What do you think?"

Tie Xuan was a little surprised and said: "Your Highness, this Prince Huailiang has a violent personality, has no one in his eyes, is self-centered in everything, and was quite disrespectful to Daming before..."

"Master Tie's words are wrong!"

Qi Tai retorted: "Huailiang is Huailiang, he's dead, it's okay for us to support Nanchao, and Daming has the most dealings with Nanchao, so it's easy for us to provoke them!"

Geng Rui added: "The subordinates have studied the situation of the Japanese slave country in the past few days, and found that this Ashikaga Yoshimitsu is really conspiring and tricks, and he will do everything he can.

And it was also his role that led to the unification of the north and the south of the Wonu Kingdom. As a powerful party, it is extremely difficult to make him split again..."

Bao Zhao nodded and said: "Weichen also agrees to support the Guishan lineage of the Southern Dynasty. They were deceived by the enemy, and they should have reacted now.

It must be unwilling, if they can get Da Ming's support, it will not be difficult for them to start a war again! "

Xu Huizu went on to say: "Your Highness, a considerable part of the Japanese pirates entrenched in the sea are from the Southern Dynasty. They do not submit to the rule of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu."

"Therefore, there is no place to gain a foothold in this country, no supply and supplies, and we can only become Japanese pirates. If we support the Southern Dynasty, the problem of Japanese pirates should also be alleviated."

After listening to everyone's discussion, Zhu Yunxi said: "I am going to form a private merchant fleet to spend trade with the Southern Dynasties of the Wonu Kingdom. In addition to contraband, food, cloth, and porcelain can be transported there."

"You also said that farming in the Japanese slave country is not easy, and the food problem has always been serious. We just need to grasp the quantity, so that they can recover their vitality without feeding them too fat."

Qi Tai nodded and said: "This is a brilliant move! We only trade with the Southern Dynasty, and only benefit from Guishan and Huailiang. The Northern Dynasty is naturally dissatisfied.

He will also be jealous of Nanchao, and will definitely suppress it in many ways. In this way, the conflict between the two sides will only become deeper and deeper, and it will be a matter of time before the swords and soldiers confront each other! "

In the final analysis, it is still a word of "profit"!

"On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep peacefully!"

Geng Rui added: "Seeing that Nanchao's strength has increased and the threat has increased, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu will definitely not be able to sit still!"

Bao Zhao continued: "And this time Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's deceitful methods have been exposed, what he said, people in the Southern Dynasty will no longer believe it!"

"So war among them is necessary!

Zhu Yunxi said generously: "This is the weakness of human nature, and no one can avoid it! People in the Southern Dynasty knew that we supported them and wanted them to fight.
They will eat the bait too!Because they have no choice!If they don't want to be devoured and wiped out step by step by the Northern Dynasty, they can only accept it! "

"The same is true of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the Northern Dynasty. If he wants to stop the Southern Dynasty from trading with Daming, he will become an enemy of the Southern Dynasty! Whether he stops it or not, this war will happen sooner or later!"

This seems to be a medicine that can save or kill a life. For a dying person, he must try it!

After all, no one wants to be eliminated just like that.

Always struggle to survive!
