I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 68 The artillery test fired, and was pitted by this little bastard again.

The pirate organization, the Japanese pirates, has never stopped from the appearance to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and has accompanied almost all the history of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, there are not many Japanese people among the real Japanese pirates, and most of them are from Ming Dynasty.

To be precise, those families of smuggling and maritime trade.

Due to the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty, except for paying tribute, the government did not allow boats to do business.

But money touches people's hearts, and this kind of thing can't be banned at all.

In the beginning, there were only a small number of Japanese pirates. Later, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty moved north, the control over the south gradually weakened.

Those aristocratic families and officials who were looking for money began to organize teams to smuggle trade.

On the way of sailing, if you encounter a weak or opponent's team, these smuggling teams will immediately turn into pirates.

Even later, some families felt that the business was not fast enough, or in order to solve competitors and deal with some dark matters, they specially raised pirate forces.

This is also the origin of most of the Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the Wa country is such a big place, and such a huge pirate force is really all Japanese people, so why should they be pirates, wouldn't it be nice to go back to their hometown to dominate one side?

Zhu Di understands this, and so does Zhu Zhangui.

The reason why Zhu Di wanted to target the Wa country, mainly to the destination, was to teach him a lesson.

Some time ago, at the banquet welcoming the envoys from various countries, the Japanese envoys boldly wanted to ask for the land of Daming. This made Zhu Di very dissatisfied, and decided to let his grandson teach him a lesson, so that these short winter melons would understand that Daming is not Anyone can be provoked.

Of course, it would be even better if you could loot a wave of money and get it back.

It's just that Zhu Di didn't know that Zhu Zhangui was very concerned about the Wa Kingdom.

When the fleet returned, Zhu Zhangui wanted to go to the Wa country.

It's a pity that Zheng He stubbornly stopped him.

Now that he got Zhu Di's secret promise, how could Zhu Zhangui not be excited.

Zhu Zhangui is an absolute cynic.

Most of the countries that he slaughtered along the coast were small countries that had harmed the people of the Han family.

Regarding the white-eyed wolves who had hurt the people of the Han family, Zhu Zhangui would kill one by one, and the methods were absolutely ruthless.

Some people may have said that harming the people of the Han family is a matter for their descendants, and it has nothing to do with them.

Zhu Zhangui doesn't care about this, in his opinion, they are all the same species, and they are not good people anyway.

Now that he has the opportunity to deal with a bigger enemy, Zhu Zhangui has already begun to plan in his heart which cities he will attack.

This wave of Zhu Zhangui's past has prevented Wogua country from flowing into rivers of blood. Zhu Zhangui will be sorry for those Jinling people who died tragically.

Although I really want to take people there immediately, but the current situation does not allow.

The most urgent thing for the Ming Dynasty is to deal with the bastards in the north first.

Zhu Zhangui thought about it for a moment, and decided to go to the north with the old man first, and then go back to entertain these Japanese pirates.

When the emperor gave an order, the entire court instantly moved.

Although Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, had some opinions on this purpose, he felt that it was a waste of manpower to gather all the craftsmen to build artillery.

But the decree is the decree.

Even if he has an idea, he has to keep it.

Zhu Zhangui has not been idle these days, and spent most of his time in the camp in the south of the city.

While receiving the delivered iron materials, it provides various types of steel pipes to the craftsmen.

In order to improve efficiency, Zhu Zhangui arranged shifts for the craftsmen.

And the assembly line is adopted to unify various sizes, allowing craftsmen to produce various parts in batches.

I have to say that the efficiency and obedience rate of Daming's craftsmen are really high.

In just two days, they got used to this kind of production intensity.

On the third day, skilled production began.

With the cooperation of more than 100 veteran craftsmen and their apprentices, more than 100 rifles can be assembled in one day.

And the artillery is progressing very fast.

The steel pipe provided by Zhu Zhangui does not have any burrs and edges, and is exactly the same as the polished one.

Whatever size and length you need, any side of the supermarket will provide it according to your requirements.

On Zhu Zhangui's side, only later modification and external reinforcement are required.

After several days of processing, research and comparison, with the efforts of dozens of old craftsmen, a sample of the three types of artillery was produced.

"Grandpa, these three are samples of the standard artillery that our Ming Dynasty will equip in the future."

On the second day after the artillery sample was manufactured, Zhu Zhangui invited the old man over.

The old man was in a hurry, and urged him several times a day.

"Good... good... good..."

Looking at the three mighty and domineering cannons exuding a violent aura, the old man applauded with satisfaction.

The three cannons are light artillery with a length of 1.5 meters and a caliber of 60, a medium-sized artillery with a length of 90 meters and a caliber of 150, and a heavy artillery with a maximum length of [-] meters and a caliber of [-].

"Nephew, you can really hit eight miles with this thing, why don't I believe it?"

Zhu Gaoxu, who had reconciled with the old man in the past few days, stretched out his hand and patted the heavy artillery, his face full of disbelief.

Zhu Gaosui also nodded in agreement, and also raised doubts in his heart.

"That's right, let's not talk about whether it can go that far? With the weight of this thing, once it rains in the grassland, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to move!"

Zhu Zhangui ignored the two, and said directly to the old man: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Grandpa, you will know if it is as powerful as I said."

Zhu Di nodded in approval.

"Okay, let's try its power and see if it can hit as far as the brat said. If it doesn't reach the range you said, even less than half, Grandpa will punish you."

Zhu Zhangui smiled confidently, and stretched out his hand to invite the old man to wait at the viewing platform in the distance.

When everyone came to the viewing platform, the gunners of the Shenji Battalion, who had been prepared a long time ago, quickly stepped forward and pushed out the light artillery.

According to the standard requirements, the artillery chief first checked the artillery, and after confirming that it was ready for firing, he began to order the artillery to be loaded.

The loader, who had been on standby for a long time, took out a fixed charge bag and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun. The assistant next to him quickly took the pole wrapped in cotton cloth and pushed the charge bag in. At the same time, he stuffed a cushion made of hemp rope into the barrel. It is used as a grid baffle, and finally the prepared round shells are put into it.

After the previous steps were completed, the gunner pierced the fixed powder pouch with a hook and inserted a lead wire into it.

At the same time, he reached out his hand to signal to Zhu Zhangui that the artillery was ready to shoot.

"Hehe, with this speed, when they get it right, the cavalry will have rushed to the front."

Seeing such complicated steps, Zhu Gaoxu sneered disdainfully, and Zhu Gaosui also chuckled in agreement.

Zhu Zhangui, who was just about to give an order, looked at Zhu Gaoxu upon hearing this, saw his disdainful expression, rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a smile:

"This is the first time a new type of artillery has fired, which is of great significance. How about giving this opportunity to the second uncle?"

Hearing this proposal, Zhu Gaoxu's heart tightened.

This kid Zhu Zhangui is very deceitful, he doesn't believe that this kid would be so kind and give up this honor to himself.

"Second uncle, don't you dare?"

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu wanted to refuse, Zhu Zhangui spoke aggressively.

This trick has tried all kinds of tricks on Zhu Gaoxu.

"There's nothing to dare, isn't it just to fire a cannon, it's not like I didn't let it go."

Zhu Gaoxu snorted softly, jumped off the viewing platform, strode to the gunner's side, grabbed the torch, ignored the gunner's warning, and directly stabbed it.

"boom!"

The lead wire caught fire, and with an ear-shattering roar, the cannon cart backed up violently, and a projectile whizzed out, flew nearly a thousand meters and then landed on the ground. After a few big bounces, it slowly stopped .

Beside the cannon, Zhu Gaoxu threw away the torch, rubbed his ears vigorously, and glared at Zhu Zhangui viciously.

Damn, I was tricked by this little bastard again.
