my days with tyrants

Chapter 139 Zhu Yuanzhang's Revenge
This shocking scene on the school field not only stunned the tribute envoys, but even Zhang Fu and other Ming army generals were stunned.

Success is only one step away.

Then, the vassal infantry who did not encounter any resistance during the charge fell more than one-third at this moment, and their dead bodies piled up almost instantly in the smoke, and those behind who had no time to stop were even killed. Stumbled, then looked around blankly among the piled dead bodies, howling in horror...

"20 taels of gold!"

Yang Feng's roar suddenly sounded in the silence.

It's not over yet!

This good show is at most half done.

But the Ming army at the booth at this time is really worry-free!

The quality is extremely high.

It's okay to play face-to-face salvo.

This set of tactics is extremely testing the psychological quality of the soldiers. Although they are not facing muskets, seeing the enemy rush to less than ten steps before firing neatly, this is considered elite.

This distance is only a few seconds.

It can be said that in the blink of an eye, the opposite side came over with a knife.

But it is also understandable.

After all, they are all from the era of cold weapons. Compared with the melee fighting at the top of the line in the past, ten steps is actually not close. In the past, they were stabbed with spears and chopped with knives face to face. Now it is just ten steps to shoot, and there is no pressure at all.

But the vassal infantry still had a chance. At this time, they were indeed behind those dead bodies, looking at the Ming army on the opposite side one by one. The stimulation of 20 taels of gold could be said to instantly overwhelm the fear, after all, the musketeers had no time to reload.Accompanied by the howls of several guys dominated by gold, the remaining vassal infantry began to step forward like a madman on the dead body in front, fighting desperately for the 20 taels of gold.

The musketeer on the opposite side retreated immediately.

Almost at the same time, the spearmen also took up their spears, with one hand held forward and the other held back. The densely packed spears forward formed a dense forest.

The musketeers retreated into the woods.

Immediately afterwards, the vassal infantry ran into the dense forest with spears protected by shields.

but……

Can't move.

There are just too many spears.

The impact surface of a knife player is almost facing four or five spears, which is equivalent to one person facing four or five people on the opposite side. If he wants to use the shield to push to the side, and when the gap is exposed, the spearman on the opposite side only needs to move his hand slightly , the spear directly poked the face.

In the era of cold weapons, one inch is long and one inch is strong. It is really not heroic to break apart the spears formed.

At the same time, the musketeers who retreated into the spear forest began to reload. Although they could actually crawl and attack from under the spear, it was not worth using this tactic for the opponent at this time. As they reloaded methodically, although slowly, the vassal infantry who couldn't break through the spear forest became more and more panicked.

Although they reload slowly, as long as they reload themselves, it is a dead end!

This distance can be seen clearly.

Fear instantly overwhelmed the desire for gold.

The first to escape appeared immediately.

Then everyone screamed in panic and turned around like crazy to run away.

Behind the musketeers finished loading...

"What face is there for you!"

Yang Feng said dissatisfied.

Those musketeers didn't really shoot at the fleeing vassal infantry, but they all hit the ground behind them, splashing pieces of dust, but they ran even more embarrassingly in panic, as if they were rolling and crawling.The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion in the back laughed. Their casualties were almost zero. Although a few were shot by arrows, the cavalry dared not approach them. Can't penetrate armor.

At this time the cavalry also withdrew.

Nearly half of these cavalry had been killed or injured.

The musket phalanx on the two wings seemed to protrude, but it was the same as the bastion, forming crossfire with the same musket phalanx on the other side. Even if the cavalry was a hundred or even two hundred steps away, they still had to face bullets kill.

Two hundred steps is still a one-hit kill.

So in the end, adding up the infantry and cavalry, there were more than 260 casualties among the [-] vassal soldiers.

Of course, there were more casualties in the real battle, and it was hard to say how many escaped back. Now that some are left alive, they will go back to do propaganda for Shenjiying to scare the inside of these vassals.After this battle, it is estimated that it will be difficult for these vassals to have the courage to rebel in a short period of time. After all, this battle is almost desperate, and there is no hope of winning at all.

This is how you deal with vassals.

"Da Ming's soldiers are invincible, and the foreign ministers are fortunate to have Mu Huang's grace, but they are loyal for generations."

A tribute envoy next to him quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

The other tribute envoys knelt down and kowtowed to His Highness the Emperor Taisun.

The emperor's grandson hurriedly helped one up.

"All the tribute envoys, the vassals will be protected by the soldiers of tomorrow. As long as you abide by the minister's festival, Daming will protect the vassals and enjoy the state forever. Those who are dead or injured will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, and those who are dead will be brought back by you. Relatives, those who participated in it and were not injured, each will be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion judged their achievements by fighting. "

He said.

Then there was a sound of singing praises.

It is obvious that His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is already somewhat like a sage lord and enlightened monarch, with both grace and power, deterred by the crushing victory of the Shenjiying, promised to rule the subjects for generations, and then rewarded with silver.

Immediately, everyone was in awe of Tianwei.

Then the tribute envoys withdrew one after another.

As for casualties...

Death and injury are death and injury!
It is their honor to be injured in the hands of Da Ming soldiers.

For these tribute envoys who are basically slave owners, do they still need to care about the lives of a few soldiers?As long as Daming still rewards 20 taels of silver in the future, let them bring a group of training partners every time they pay tribute, and then let Daming's soldiers kill and play, they will be very happy.

Still dead to their loved ones?

The silver in the hands of the surviving hands must also be given to them.

understand!

"If you can put a gun head on the Shenji blunderbuss, wouldn't you even need a spearman? Before the battle, you only need to charge up to ten steps and shoot a volley, and then use the Shenji blunderbuss as a short spear to charge forward."

Zhang Fu looked at the newly trained Shenjiying and said.

"That's the tactic in the future. This kind of volley was thought up by the monarch of a small country in Thailand more than 200 years later. He relied on this to run wild in Thailand, but it is really like you said after the use of the flintlock. The magic gun is an arquebus. , Not only is it heavy but also has a slow rate of fire, the flintlock gun is ignited with flint, all mechanical, light and fast. At that time, you can completely abandon the spear, shoot a volley in the face, and then charge with a bayonet."

Yang Feng said.

The thinking of the famous general is still very advanced.

But the matchlock gun really can't use the bayonet, after all, this thing is too heavy, it is better to use the bayonet as a big stick.

Being a big stick is powerful.

After all, a magic gun weighed ten catties, so there was no way around it. Daming didn’t have high-quality iron ore, and couldn’t smelt the barrel of the genuine Suer matchlock gun for the time being, so it could only be solved by increasing the thickness, so it was two catties heavier than the genuine one.

"Then when will the flintlock be made?"

The emperor's grandson said eagerly.

"Then you have to ask His Majesty, but His Majesty is not keen on this. He is already very satisfied with the matchlock gun."

Yang Feng said.

Zhu Yuanzhang did think so.

The main reason is that the cost of the flintlock gun is too high, too many skilled workers are needed, and too much high-quality steel is needed. Even if the barrel can be thickened, the photothermal treatment of those springs and small parts requires a large number of excellent skilled workers.What's more, the processing of various relatively precise parts is itself very high-end for this era, so a flintlock gun requires several times more off-duty workers than a matchlock gun, and then feeding these workers requires more surplus food from farmers. Spend several times more than the current cost.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang has been careful to avoid.

And it's not necessary.

After all, not to mention matchlock guns, even rapid-fire guns and three-eyed blunderbusses, they have already crushed the surrounding enemies.

If it is only said to be created, this is already fast.

"How can there be better ones?"

The emperor's grandson said very incomprehensibly.

As a young man, unlike his grandfather, he needs to think about everything.

Such as cost.

Such as various long-term things.

As long as it is good for him, do it, just like the plate armor on his body.

The second generation is like this, and Zhu Di is also like this. The first generation had a difficult start, knew enough was enough, and knew that it needed to control national power, but the second generation took over a powerful empire, and what they needed was how to realize their ambitions and control national power, which was not their consideration. scope.

This kind of success is the emperor of the ages, and failure is the emperor of Sui Yang.

Zhu Di also consumed a lot of national power in the later period.

It's just that he has voyages to the West, and he can rely on overseas trade monopoly power to support him. After all, he uses pepper to pay officials.

So the officials couldn't bear it anymore.

After all, the first batch of this thing is really cost-effective, the second batch can only be said to be passable, the third batch is not cost-effective, and the fourth, fifth, or sixth batches are purely cut off as leeks.Daming is full of pepper, you fucking asked Zheng He to buy a hundred catties for one tael of silver in Sumatra, and convert it to ten taels of silver for us to pay us wages!

To be a human being, one has to be conscientious!

You are happy, we all hold a bunch of peppers and sell them cheaply, and we have borne all the losses for you.

At this time Zhang Xianzong came over.

"what happened?"

Yang Feng looked at him.

Zhang Biandu obviously has something to do.

He looked at Yang Feng, then at the emperor grandson.

"Your Highness, just now His Majesty issued a decree to summon the Duke of Liang to return to the court, saying that he was discussing the conquest of Annan."

He said.

Zhu Yunxi has already started to deal with government affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of recognition on this point. As long as he chooses a good heir, he will immediately learn how to handle government affairs, and even gradually give him power, just like an old farmer who feels that he should retire and quickly hand over the land to his children and grandchildren.

Of course, the main thing is absolute self-confidence.

After all, this world was ruled by him, and he has absolute control, so he doesn't worry that his children and grandchildren won't be able to wait!

"Come back when you come back. Liang Guogong has been in Guangxi for almost three years, and now the Wa Kingdom is almost settled. Although the tribute envoy is dead, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu has no other tricks. After all, Yan Wang's army is there. The matter of the Wa Kingdom is over. , Naturally, it is Annan, the Duke of Liang has been training soldiers for so long, it is also reasonable for His Majesty to call him back to discuss how to march."

The emperor's grandson said casually.

Zhang Xianzong didn't dare to say any more, then raised his head and shut his mouth under Yang Feng's strange gaze.

Mount Wutai.

"Sapphire came to Beijing, isn't it to deal with you?"

Sitting on the swing, the little princess said.

"Why are you so smart all of a sudden?"

Yang Feng said.

"Ha, Sapphire has a bad temper, and she thinks highly of herself, always thinking that he is the best, none of those veterans is in his eyes.

He doesn't like people like Fu Youde.

But now there is another you.

If he goes to Beijing, with his arrogance with his nostrils upturned, and you, who also likes to cause trouble, will be one mountain and two tigers!What's more, you are also closely related to Yunxie, and he considers himself Yunxie's protector. Seeing that you are bewitching Yunxie, can he still look at you?My dad is taking revenge, get Sapphire back, let him deal with you, and then my dad can watch the fun. "

The little princess said with a smile.

She was still swaying happily there, and her little feet were raised from time to time.

Then Yang Feng grabbed her braid...

"You are gloating!"

He said.

The little princess quickly covered her head and looked at him angrily.

Zhang Ying looked at them speechlessly.

"But you're right. Your father did bring him back to deal with me, but it doesn't rule out killing him with my hands. In short, it's better for me and him to die together."

Yang Feng grabbed the little princess' braids, dragged them slowly and said.

"Then what are you going to do?"

the little princess asked expectantly.

"Look, if he really doesn't know what to do, then you can kill him, or you will be killed by your father sooner or later! Your father has not completed the layout of the feudal king. If he completes it, he thinks it will be all right, then Sapphire is useless. For your father, when it is useless is when it is time to settle accounts.

His iron coupon should have used up the last battery, right? "

Yang Feng said.

Iron coupons have a number of uses.

It can also be guaranteed three times. At least the time when Sapphire bombarded and closed the door must be counted as one.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes was done according to the rules.

Give an iron coupon to avoid three capital crimes, and avoid marking one line at a time. After marking three lines, it will be useless. At that time, if he wants to kill him, it will not be considered a breach of promise. This thing is not always effective, and treason will not be guaranteed.However, such words should not be used up. After all, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang killed him on the charge of treason. In short, Zhu Yuanzhang made it clear this time that he was angry with Yang Feng and found someone to play with him.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Lan Yu can deal with Yang Feng, of course His Majesty the Emperor can watch the fun.

Lan Yu angered Yang Feng and was killed...

Good thing!
Save yourself the trouble.

"You are making arrangements for my father again. Now that the old generals are almost dead, Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are also old, so there is only Lan Yu left. Waiting for Yunxi to succeed to the throne, wouldn't it be a good time for him to expand his territory outside? "

The little princess said dissatisfied.

"Ha, Yang Jian said that what you said is true. I have been working diligently to expand the territory for the Great Zhou. After the opening, I didn't grab it and become mine."

Yang Feng said.

After speaking, he let go, and then pushed the little princess forward.

Then he turned and walked away.

"What are you going for?"

The little princess shouted from behind.

"Of course I'm going to make comics and continue to edit your father."

Yang Feng said.

"I'll go as well."

The little princess regained her spirits in an instant, jumped off the swing quickly, and then caught up with Yang Feng, hugged his arms and went to black her father happily. Behind Zhang Ying hurriedly caught up, put one hand on one shoulder, and put Yang Feng The arm was pulled out abruptly...
