Daming: I asked you to supervise the country, Daming is all crazy?

Chapter 17 Second Battalion Commander, Bring Up Lao Tzu's Italian Cannon! ! !

"rebel?"

Zhu Gaochi's small eyes suddenly widened a little bit, with a bit of incredulity in the daze, and a bit of bewilderment in the inconceivable.

The change in expression was so wonderful that Zhu Zhanji couldn't help stretching out his hand and pinching it twice.

And he did!
"Go, go, you kid..."

Zhu Gaochi slapped Zhu Zhanji's hand away with a look of disgust, then pulled Zhu Zhanji's clothes uncertainly and asked:

"Is what you said true?"

"You'll find out when you look at it later!"

After Zhu Zhanji finished speaking, he turned around and walked to Dongchang and Yulinjun.

The Imperial Forest Army is in charge of Jin Zhong, a veteran of the Jingnan period, who is 61 years old this year.

He has a very high prestige in the court, and has tried his best to protect the prince and the officials of the East Palace in front of Zhu Di many times. It can be said that he is a proper princeling.

Zhu Zhanji walked up to Jin Zhong, glanced at the little snot on the side, and then asked Jin Zhong:
"how is the situation?"

Hearing this, Jin Zhong looked at Zhu Gaochi who hadn't recovered from Zhu Zhanji's words not far away, paused and said:

"Returning to Your Highness, the courtyard walls of Ji Gang's mansion have been reinforced, and the height is nearly ten feet higher than ordinary mansions. At present, the number of dead soldiers inside has not been found out, but the old man estimates that there should be no less than a thousand people. If a strong attack , I’m afraid there will be heavy losses!”

"Is it so troublesome? How about using Ji Gang to persuade you to surrender?"

Zhu Zhanji frowned when he heard this.

Jin Zhong glanced at Zhu Zhanji with disgust in his eyes, shook his head, and said something irrelevant:
"During the next Northern Expedition of the Emperor, His Royal Highness Taisun should probably go through some battles with the Emperor."

Zhu Zhanji: "..."

He suspected that the old man was despising that he had never fought a war!
Before Zhu Zhanji could think about it, Jin Zhong said again:
"Although the situation in the courtyard is still unclear, if the old minister has guessed correctly, there are such powerful defenses and dead soldiers in the majestic Yingtian City. Ji Gang should have hidden a lot of secrets in the courtyard and exposed them. Perhaps it is enough for Ji Gang to die several times, if Ji Gang wants to live, the old minister estimates that Ji Gang will never let us in!"

"Then we can only attack by force?"

"At present, it seems that there is really only a strong attack!"

Jin Zhong nodded. Seeing this, Zhu Zhanji thought about turning his head and looking aside, silently lowering his head and treating himself as a small transparent snot, and ordered:

"Little Snot, arrange for a few people to go to the Ministry of Industry and ask someone to bring four General Cannons over. I don't believe that the courtyard wall in this courtyard can still block the General Cannons?"

With a bang, Zhu Zhanji's words fell, Jin Zhong on the side almost lost his old waist, his old face twitched a few times, opened his mouth and said:

"Grandson, the old minister thinks we can discuss this matter again..."

"Huh? Are four big general guns not enough?"

Zhu Zhanji touched his chin when he heard the words, and looked at Ji Gang's mansion, and found that the area of ​​the mansion was indeed not small, and the courtyard wall alone was no less than [-] meters.

If it was just the bombardment of four cannons, the gap created by the bombardment would indeed be relatively small. Thinking of this, he immediately added another sentence:
"Four doors are not enough, let's add four more!"

Jin Zhong:_
Jin Zhong opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but Little Snot paid no attention to him, answered "Yes", called a few eunuchs from the East Factory, and walked to the Ministry of Industry to pull the cannon.

Seeing this, Jin Zhong thought for a while and closed his mouth.

It's just a few big general cannons. Although it's a bit wasteful, it's good to let this grandson see it.

At this time, Prince Zhu Gaochi also came over with several ministers.

I don't know what Zhu Gaochi said to these people. At this time, no one persuaded Zhu Zhanji to let go of Ji Gang.

Instead, he looked faintly at Ji Gang's mansion, which was like an iron wall, with a trace of anticipation and hesitation flashing across his face.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty suffered from Ji Gang's despotic power. I don't know how many people have been blackmailed by Ji Gang for so many years.

If Ji Gang really fell today, it would definitely be something worth celebrating.

But in the same way, if Ji Gang can't fall today, everyone present counts as one, and they all have to be ready to accept Ji Gang's revenge.

Zhu Gaochi stood next to Zhu Zhanji, glanced at the back of the little snot who left, and asked with some doubts:
"how?"

"Just wait a moment. I'll let Little Snot carry things. When the things arrive, the yard will be breached immediately!"

Zhu Gaochi froze for a moment, glanced at the direction where the little snot left, and said with a puzzled look:

"Move things?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded:

"Bring some cannons over here!"

Zhu Gaochi: "???"

Before he could think too much, Jin Zhong on the side added:

"Eight, Great General Cannon!"

"Uh……"

Zhu Gaochi's fat face froze for an instant, and even some courtiers who had just followed had their faces turned very exciting at this moment.

Eight?

General Cannon?

Are you sure it's not the Second General?
Or the three generals?
A group of people looked at each other.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help holding Zhu Zhanji's hand, saying:

"Son, this... how about changing the cannon? I think the three generals cannon is actually quite good, or the second general will do..."

Zhu Gaochi was interrupted by Zhu Zhanji before he finished speaking: "Father, it's not like you haven't seen the second general cannon and the third general cannon. Compared with the general, they are things for children to play. It's safer to use the general." !"

Zhu Gaochi: "..."

Speaking of which, the cannons before the middle of the Ming Dynasty were still very leading in the world.

And the most famous of these artillery is undoubtedly all kinds of general artillery,
The influence of the General Cannon was so profound that until hundreds of years later, the Qing Dynasty would name the cannon after this invincible general and the mighty general from time to time.

Among all the general cannons in the early Ming Dynasty, the most famous one was undoubtedly the Great General Cannon.

The whole body of the General Cannon is made of pig iron, it is more than three feet long and weighs 2000 jin.
There is a star in the front and a rear sight. The charge is more than one catty, and the lead (cannonball) weighs three to five catties. The range can reach one mile, and the longest can be two miles.

There are multiple reinforcing hoops on the gun body. According to the size, it is divided into three types: large, medium and small. They are respectively named the big general, the second general, and the third general. They can fire 7 catties, 3 catties and 1 catties of lead bullets.

Carried by a vehicle, the wheels are high at the front and low at the rear, and can be launched directly on the vehicle.

It can be said that the old man Zhu relied on these firearms and cannons to a large extent to attack the prairie.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't refute Zhu Zhanji for a while, he just felt like he was hitting mosquitoes with a cannon at this moment.

Soon, with the sound of a dull axle, eight black iron cannons appeared in the sight of everyone on the street.

"His Royal Highness, the cannon is coming!"

Little Snot ran over to return to his life.

"Pull them all up, aim at the courtyard wall, and give me a round of bombardment first!"

Zhu Zhanji gave the order casually.

Soon the eight cannons lined up in front of Ji Gang's mansion, and the ammunition was loaded.

Zhu Zhanji stepped forward with great interest, took the commanding flag, and looked at the mansion that immediately became chaotic with the appearance of the cannon.

With a grin at the corner of his mouth, the flag in his hand waved down fiercely:
"fire!"

"Boom~"
