Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 361: The No. [-] Army, the Strongest Soldier in the World!

Zhang Wu was a little surprised.

Mingxia has always regarded the empress and your majesty as her parents. It has been two or three years since she married him and left the palace.

This feeling has not faded.

However, Mingxia is just the maid next to the empress.

After leaving the palace, in order not to discredit the empress, she rarely mentioned her in front of outsiders. She only prayed for her at home during the New Year and festivals.

This time the observation group is coming.

Mingxia was very happy when she heard the news earlier.

But why did he show his fist when he came back from Fujian?
Mingxia said slightly angrily: "Some people in the observation group act a little too demanding and bossy, as if His Highness owes the court a lot..."

She is a woman.

Although I don’t know much.

But I also know how to interact with people.

When two people get along, if one party gives a little, they always feel that the other party owes them a lot.

It's natural for them to push their limits, dictate and demand various rewards, and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger, and they are becoming more and more greedy.

Then these two people will definitely have a falling out.

"I feel that this person gets along well with other people, including His Highness and the court. In fact, when we are with His Highness, we can see clearly that the court does not give His Highness much help and support. Even if there is, His Highness's return to the court is enough.

But now, there is someone in the observation group who feels that His Highness’s reward is far from enough and that he is pushing even further..."

What did the court give to His Highness?
It’s just a maritime trade right!

His Highness reported to the imperial court an increasingly active and colorful Fujian.

Help the court eliminate pirates.

From this business, it can be said that the court has already made a fortune!

Those who always want His Highness to repay more, why don't they ask themselves.

If the imperial court sends them here, even if they give the same support, can they give such a big return to the imperial court?
"The relationship between His Highness and the imperial court, when the Emperor is here, is the relationship between father and son, monarch and minister. In the future, a hundred years from now, the Emperor and the empress will only have a sibling relationship, not even a relationship between monarch and minister. His Highness's Dongfan fiefdom was not granted by the imperial court. Unlike other princes, His Highness defeated it himself..."

……

"I'm thinking that maybe you can help His Highness show your fists, so that those who have evil thoughts will not dare to do so. If you can't stop these people's thoughts..."

Mingxia stopped talking.

Zhang Wu was silent while holding the wine glass.

Of course he knew what Mingxia didn't say.

If we can't make these people stop their greedy and greedy thoughts.

In the future, the two sides are bound to have a breakup.

No matter how patient you are, Your Highness cannot be patient indefinitely.

Because there is also a large number of people behind His Highness.

His Highness is a responsible man.

He may not care about his own interests, but he does it for the interests of so many people around him.

When the time comes, can you still give in?
As for Mingxia.

I am angry that these people are greedy, and I am angry on behalf of His Highness and Princess.

At the same time, I also care about Daming.

Perhaps, in the palace, except for the emperor and the empress, who regarded Mingxia as family, the other members of the royal family only regarded Mingxia as a palace maid.

But Mingxia always regarded Ming Dynasty and the royal family as her natal family because of her majesty and empress.

I don't want the prince and other princes in the court to make wrong decisions because of the influence of officials.

Zhang Wu asked curiously: "Do you think that if there is a conflict between the imperial court and His Highness, His Highness will be more likely to become the final winner?"

Mingxia glared at Zhang Wu angrily and filled Zhang Wu's glass with wine. "Of course, as people close to you, how could we not know the abilities of His Highness and the Princess..."

Let’s see how long it took to come to Fujian.

Less than three years!

They serve as people close to His Royal Highness and the Princess.

On the way to Fujian, I knew His Highness's vision.

In his original vision, His Highness never imagined that such a great achievement could be achieved in such a short period of time.

But after coming to Fujian.

Japanese pirates invaded Fujian County, triggering a series of changes.

It ruined His Highness's original plan.

It also prompted His Highness to revise his plan.

"The Queen has said before that Your Highness is the kind of person who is more adversity and more pressure, and who is more adaptable and adaptable while maintaining his focus on goals."

Known child Moruomu.

What happened in Fujian in recent years.

Undoubtedly, the judgment of the Empress was applied.

"So, if there is a conflict between Daming and His Highness in the future, even if Daming has the upper hand, I am very unfavorable."

Zhang Wu nodded silently.

Follow the prince into the grassland.

He was very aware of how amazing the prince's resilience was under strong pressure.

Then he smiled and said: "Don't worry, our first town soldiers will never embarrass the prince. During this period, our first association's first standard has completed the installation of long-barreled fire muskets. The town's artillery battalion, eighteen The bronze cannon has finally been configured..."

The long-barreled fire gun is nothing more than the workshop training the iron more, and the craftsmen spending more time drilling the iron pipe.

The First Town went through a lot of trouble to equip these eighteen bronze cannons.

Copper is money!

The Shen family helped and paid a lot of money for Liang Daoming to collect it from Srivijaya.

In order to give them the first army town, Fatty Jiang assigned the artillery battalion as soon as possible, and almost threw the last copper coin of Dongfan into the copper smelting furnace.

The prince is definitely poorer than these people.

There is no way, the navy's ugly, short, black and thick iron cannons cannot be used by the army.

Compared to the stupid, big, black and thick navy.

The bronze cannon of their army is definitely a gentle beauty like Mingxia.

After Yu Jing saw it, he would definitely drool and curse at his mother.

If this is not enough to give the prince some excuse.

Brothers can only wipe their necks!

……

Compared with the tossing and turning of the observation group, there are many thoughts.

The powerful merchants who followed him slept very contentedly.

The next day.

Zhu Di led everyone to the shipyard.

Lan Yu looked at the hundred acres of land that had been fenced off and asked curiously: "Will all this land be used for shipbuilding?"

Everyone looked at Zhu Di from the corner of their eyes.

Is it too big?
By visual inspection, this land is at least a hundred acres!
How many warships does King Yan want to build?
What on earth do you want to arm so many troops?
Zhu Di smiled and nodded: "In the future, sea trade will develop rapidly, and the demand for shipbuilding will definitely be higher..."

call!
Many breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be a merchant ship builder.

However, immediately afterwards, Zhu Di's words made many people's hearts rise again.

"The development of civilian shipbuilding can also promote the development of warships. Today's warships, even after modification, are actually not suitable for naval warfare. The warships are not big enough and have not enough artillery."

Mu Ying asked curiously: "Lao Si, how big a warship do you want to build and how many cannons do you want to install?"

Today they just wanted to see a warship equipped with 24 cannons.

This may be the most advanced warship in the world!

The fourth child is still not satisfied?

Zhu Di turned to look at Mu Ying, "Brother, the sea-going ships we are using now are too small and have poor wind and wave resistance..."

In the future, he will definitely develop naval warships and civilian transport ships to the scale of treasure ships in history.

That is an ocean-going ship.

However, treasure ships also have major shortcomings.

Treasure ships are sail-powered ships.

The development of Kebao Ship also continued the original traditional shipbuilding concept of the Central Plains.

For example, on the deck, there is a cabin where people can live more comfortably.

This is definitely a huge waste of the limited space of the warship.

Ships used for war are first of all to ensure the output of force, and are by no means comfortable.

In the absence of technology that can achieve both, warships must first cut down on comfort.

While ensuring the normal life of the soldiers.

Maximize the power of the warship.

This is the concept of the development of a weapon.

Now, the warships refitted on Jilong Island adhere to this concept.

"Future warships, ordinary small and medium-sized warships, must be equipped with at least dozens of cannons, while large and extra-large warships must be equipped with at least a hundred cannons..."

The accuracy of artillery in this era was terrible.

It can only be made up by quantity.

Zhu Di was not satisfied yet.

But he didn't notice that the people around him were already stunned.

After leaving Fujian and going to sea, Zhu Silang's fifty warships and 160 artillery salvos shocked them.

Zhu Silang is still not satisfied?
crazy!

They actually want to build a ship with a hundred doors!
frenzied!

What would it look like if ten or fifty such large warships fired a salvo?
Many people shudder when they think about it in their minds.

That's thousands of artillery pieces!
One volley, a thousand iron bullets, if one hits one person, it will cost a thousand lives!

What does Zhu Silang want to do?
How many people do you want to kill?
Compared with the civil servants in the observation group.

Mu Ying and Lan Yu looked at each other in surprise, but they were thinking about other things.

I can't wait to see the shocking scene of thousands of artillery fire.

The imperial court was under great pressure on land.

It is impossible to spend huge sums of money to develop the navy.

But Zhu Laosi is here. As long as the relationship between the two parties is maintained well, Zhu Laosi will definitely be willing to learn from Zhu Laosi.

……

People's minds are different.

Follow Zhu Di into the busy dock.

A warship that had been completely refitted and equipped with 24 cannons was parked in the open-air dock.

Although I have heard Zhu Di say that warships with dozens or hundreds of cannons will be developed in the future.

But at this moment, everyone was still shocked by the warship equipped with 24 cannons.

Silly big black cannon.

Cold and dark.

A shock that penetrates the soul.

Lan Yu stood at the bow of the ship, touching the cold and somewhat rough iron cannon, and asked: "We will go to the South China Sea to destroy pirates during the Spring Festival. How about taking this ship with us and showing us the power of a warship equipped with 24 cannons."

"Okay." Zhu Di smiled.

This type of ship is equipped with 24 artillery pieces, which is the result of testing on a similar warship.

Just let Yu Jing take advantage of the Chinese New Year period to let the soldiers board the ship and pull it out of Jilong Island for a simple sea trial to get familiar with it.

……

After coming out of the dock.

Zhu Di took everyone to observe the firearms workshop, the iron smelting workshop...

Everyone had lunch with the craftsmen in the firearms workshop.

It's approaching evening.

Come out of the iron smelting workshop.

Fang Xiaoru, Tie Xuan, and Sheng Yong murmured a few words in a low voice, walked a few steps quickly, came to Zhu Di's side, and asked curiously: "Your Highness, during one day of visit, we found that the status of the craftsmen in Jilongyu Workshop is very high..."

They actually saw Jiang Jinzhong talking to these craftsmen with a smile.

Even when these craftsmen met King Yan, they only respected him and were not frightened.

This is really surprising.

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was not high.

Many of them also went to work as craftsmen's supervisors.

The superior officer who supervises the craftsmen has the power of life and death over the craftsmen below!
Unlike Jiang Jinzhong, he still has to smile.

Zhu Di looked at these young officials from the Ming Dynasty who were similar to him in age.

There is no doubt that these people are excellent.

Observe very carefully.

Even where Taishan, Brother Muying, Lan Yu and others had ignored, they discovered it.

"There is no way, Jilong Island is really short of craftsmen. These craftsmen are treasures to Jilong Island..."

"Moreover, in the process of improving the status of craftsmen, we found that it was very helpful to stimulate the creativity of craftsmen. The thread drill bit for processing iron pipes and the modification of warships were all invented by these craftsmen in a short period of time."

There is no distinction between high and low labor.

We must cooperate with the implementation of rural village cooperatives and the employee share system.

The two are complementary.

The concept of no distinction between high and low can further activate the creativity and subjective initiative of the people under the rural village community and the employee-share system.

At the same time, only in the relatively well-equalized folk environment created by rural village communities and the employee-employed shareholding system can this concept have a foundation to survive and take root.

Like the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

If he brings it up, people will laugh at him as a lunatic.

The gentry would regard him as a thorn in their flesh.

Of course, in order to maintain a harmonious relationship with Daming in the future.

He would not directly bring this matter to light.

However, it will improve the status of craftsmen in practical actions.

After the farmers establish a rural village community, their wealth and political status will increase accordingly.

So it is with hired hands.

Fang Xiaoru and others said.

I hope they will accept something new, and it is best to win their approval.

In the future, when they are in high positions, have power and ability, they will promote the progress of Ming Dynasty.

Only when there is not much difference between each other's ideas can the two sides get along.

At the same time, he also hoped that the Ming Dynasty would make further progress and the people would become more prosperous and active.

When farmers and employees no longer despair of their careers and want to escape from the bottom of their hearts, they want to get rid of it.

To stimulate greater creativity.

Otherwise, everyone is just numb and busy for survival and livelihood, and all they want is to escape and get rid of this profession.

Creativity, then, must be impossible.

Creativity is driven by love, concentration, and high spirit.

……

Daming's ship is too big.

This kind of thing cannot be done overnight.

But he had already planted the seeds.

After the rural village community was established.

As long as the Ming court can persist unswervingly.

People can develop villages into small economies by relying on rural communities and the raw materials produced by the land.

Get rich from it.

Once you have money and your political status has improved, bureaucrats no longer dare to bully you at will.

The vast majority of people will like the profession of farmers.

Moreover, you must be willing to actively use your talents and talents to make the countryside where you live more prosperous.

Uncle Ba and the others spontaneously made corn straw wine, which is the best proof.

……

Zhu Di saw that Fang Xiaoru and others were all deep in thought, so he stopped talking.

……

The twelfth lunar month is 24.On the day of the New Year.

Early in the morning.

After everyone had breakfast.

Zhu Di took the observation group and powerful businessmen to the army camp.

Along the way, except for Zhu Di's people.

Everyone else was very excited.

"The prince is willing to give craftsmen a higher status, is he also willing to give us businessmen a higher status?"

"As long as you are willing to implement the employment share system, it's probably about the same!"

……

“The past few days of visiting have been so shocking, and finally, the highlight is here!”

"No, I can't sleep at the fifth watch this morning."

……

In the midst of excited and tense discussions.

Zhu Di led a group of people into the camp in a mighty manner.

Go straight to the observation deck.

This time, the observation deck is bigger than last time.

Because there are too many people.

More than 800 people!

At the same time, the leaders and villagers of many villages in Dongpan were also invited.

This arrangement is naturally to prepare for the gradual rule of Dongfan.

Everyone looked at the empty school grounds and looked at each other.

Lan Yu guessed something and asked curiously: "Is Your Highness planning to start from the assembly?"

Zhu Di nodded.

Lan Yu looked at the drum placed on the east side of the observation platform and took the initiative to ask, "I wonder if your highness can let me play the drum to gather the generals?"

Zhu Di saw Lan Yu eager to try and said with a smile: "Of course, the soldiers know that there will be a drill in the near future, but they don't know the specific time. Even senior generals such as Tan Yuan and Zhang Wu don't know."

He also wanted to truly test the results of this year's training.

As for whether something would go wrong and cause embarrassment, he didn't care.

If you want to show it, show the most authentic Army First Town!
Lan Yu and Mu Ying were surprised.

Others say they don't believe this.

Zhu Silang, they believe it!
Without him.

After arriving in Fujian, Zhu Silang was unreservedly frank!

Lan Yu immediately stood up and walked quickly to the drum under the gaze of everyone.

Boom boom boom!
A tom sounded.

……

In the commander's tent.

Tan Yuanzheng discussed the drill with two associate commanders, five standard commanders, and sixteen camp management leaders.

Suddenly the sound of drums was heard.

Everyone was stunned.

Wen Dong, the Second Coordinator of the Second Association, Zhu Di, who was originally a general among the five hundred soldiers, and Zhang Wu were transferred to the Army Coordinator. Hearing this, he frowned and asked: "Controller, is your Highness planning a surprise attack?"

dong dong dong...

As soon as Wen Dong finished speaking, the two tong drums sounded.

Whoa!

Tan Yuan stood up suddenly and immediately ordered: "Everyone, return to their respective camps immediately and blow the whistle to gather troops!"

His Highness must be conducting the raid.

"As ordered!"

The generals hurriedly left after receiving their orders.

beep...

Soon, the whistle came from the cavalry mark from the artillery battalion directly under the jurisdiction of the town.

The whistles became more and more intense.

Everyone on the observation deck of the school ground could hear it.

Lan Yu, Mu Ying, and Xu Da, as soldiers, all listened attentively.

Gradually frowned.

Apart from the whistle, they couldn't hear any other sound.

In the Ming army, whenever this happens, there is always chaos, and all kinds of beatings and scoldings can be heard endlessly.

blah blah blah...

While listening curiously, the sound of footsteps sounded.

The crowd looked at the sound.

I saw a black square formation, running in neat steps from behind the large camp in the distance.

They have seen all the leaders, soldiers and generals.

Take care of Sun Yuanchu.

As for Sun Yuanchu appearing first, Zhu Di nodded slightly, the smile on his lips flashed away, and he was not surprised.

Thirteen battalions of the infantry led the way.

The others are all veterans.

Only Sun Yuanchu used to be a young master who had no power to restrain a chicken.

In terms of bravery, Sun Yuanchu knew very well that he would never be able to compare with other commanders in this life.

No matter how hard you try, it's hard to catch up.

But Sun Yuanchu knew his strengths.

Using his knowledge, he was the first in the camp to learn literacy secretly, so that he could instill the contents of the Army Drill Code into his subordinates and pay close attention to training.

The First Battalion of the First Association, the First Standard, is not the most outstanding among the thirteen infantry battalions in terms of bravery.

But it is the most balanced in all aspects.

The quality of all soldiers is very balanced.

The coordination is the best.

When I returned to Fujian, the reason why I brought Sun Yuanchu with me was as a reward for Sun Yuanchu.

Of course, he does not require every commander to lead his troops like Sun Yuanchu.

Unrealistic.

Everyone leads troops in their own style.

"Everyone has it!"

"stand at attention!"

"Stay where you are!"

……

"One two one!"

"stand at attention!"

……

"Come on, Biao Tong, our camp has been assembled!"

"Come on, Biaotong, the third battalion has been assembled!"

……

"Common to the Association, the first and second bids have been assembled!"

……

As each battalion appeared in front of the observation platform, noisy orders sounded.

After a while, the voice gradually died down.

Nearly 3000 people, wearing black split military uniforms, carrying bright yellow military ranks on their shoulders, stood solemnly with their heads held high.

As far as the eye can see.

No matter which direction one looks at, everyone can only see a straight line.

Everyone stood up subconsciously in shock.

"This this……"

"This is so neat!"

"Can the imperial army do it?"

……

Lan Yu listened to the shocked whispers of the merchants behind him, and looked at Zhu Di standing on the edge of the observation platform with a hint of shock.

The three toms were assembled within the time limit, which was excellent!

Moreover, Zhu Laosi’s military uniform is so beautifully designed!
Only one person, a few people can wear it.

But when thousands of people put them on and stood together, the feeling of oppression was too strong!
"Your Highness, the first town of Dongfan Army has been assembled!"

Tan Yuan trotted up to Zhu Di and gave a sonorous report, waking everyone up.

Zhu Di solemnly said: "Let's start according to the drill subjects. You have full command today!"

"The last will obey!"

After receiving the order, Tan Yuan left and returned to the front of the array.

"The first association's first bid..."

One after another orders were issued.

The first batch of soldiers quickly took action and quickly moved thousands of scarecrows to the open space on the left side of the observation platform.

Arranged in an array.

Even powerful merchants who don't understand military affairs know that these scarecrows must represent 'enemy troops'.

The 'enemy' array was five hundred paces away from the first army town.

The first bid returns to the team and lines up again.

Tan Yuan stood on horseback and shouted loudly, "Everyone is here, turn left!"

The messengers began to gallop on the school grounds.

The order was conveyed, with battalions as units, and each battalion turned left uniformly.

"The artillery is ready!"

"The first standard of the first association, the second standard attacks! The sword and shield soldiers of the second association follow up! The cavalry standard provides flank cover!"

……

Zhang Wu's First Association was fully equipped with firearms.

The first mark is equipped with a long-tube fire gun, and the second mark is equipped with a Ming-style fire gun.

Following Tan Yuan's order.

The First Association took the lead.

blah blah blah...

Hit the mark with neat steps.

The two standard soldiers were loading their muskets while approaching the 'enemy'.

Mu Ying noticed that during the approach, the first and second targets did not advance together, but separated towards the left and right wings of the enemy.

The second alliance's sword and shield soldiers were a hundred steps apart. When the first alliance's two targets moved to the left and right, they faced the enemy array directly.

The five hundred cavalry led by Zhou Lang pretended to be a well-organized cavalry standard and swam behind the two wings of the infantry.

"Fourth Brother, why do the first and second targets of the First Association move to the left and right wings of the enemy respectively, leaving the front to the sword and shield soldiers..."

bang bang bang...

As soon as Mu Ying's voice rang out, the sound of violent shelling suddenly came.

Everyone was taken aback.

I saw that the artillery deployed at the rear launched the attack first.

Eighteen iron bullets passed over the heads of the soldiers and hit the ground hard.

Then it bounced up high and rushed into the 'enemy' array.

An iron bullet tore into dozens of scarecrows before losing momentum and stopping.

hiss!
"Even if it hits a real person, I'm afraid it can tear the bodies of a dozen people into pieces, right?"

"The two armies are fighting. If we do this first, the enemy may become timid!"

……

Fearful comments resounded.

bang bang bang...

When the artillery began to fire towards the rear of the 2000-man 'enemy' array.

The first target of the First Association has started firing from the left.

bang bang bang...

Immediately afterwards, the second standard of the First Association, which broke into the enemy's array fifty steps away, also launched a volley of gunfire from the right side.

Zhu Di explained: "Brother, this is crossfire. The accuracy of the gunfire is too poor. If you fire from the left and right wings, the barrage will cross and concentrate on the enemy's dense array. It is more lethal than direct wide frontal fire..."

This is what they have concluded through practice.

He knows crossfire.

But he didn't know whether the use of crossfire with musketry was effective.

After practice, it was proved that using it in a musket volley is more effective than firing directly at the enemy array with a wide frontal volley.

In fact, Zhu Di no longer needs to explain.

As far as Mu Ying and others could see, more than 2000 scarecrows were instantly shattered into pieces by two cross-fired guns from the left and right sides.

Even if it is the same strength, or even several times the strength.

Before the battle, they suddenly suffered such a violent blow and lost more than 2000 forwards.

No matter how brave the enemy is, their formation will probably be in chaos.

"kill!"

Just when Xu Da, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others imagined the development of the next battle.

Deafening shouts of death suddenly sounded.

Xu Da and others woke up and followed the sound.

I saw the second Xie Sword and Shield soldiers, directly entering the enemy's formation from between the first and second targets.

Five people form a group, cooperate with each other, aim at several 'enemy troops', and rush forward to kill them with one blow.

……

Sheng Yong's face was pale, and he looked at the soldiers of the Army's First Town who were cooperating with each other to kill each other, and moved closer to Lan Yu, "Yongchang Marquis, can the imperial infantry and the Army's First Town win when they meet like this?"

Lan Yu came to her senses.

He glanced at Sheng Yong.

Mouth full of bitterness.

win?
Think too much?
Even the imperial infantry, under heavy fire from artillery and two standard fire muskets, would first lose 2000 or [-] men, and the formation would be in disarray.

Then he was killed by the second sword and shield soldier.

Create more chaos.

The two targets of the first association can completely roll back and impact from the left and right wings after shooting.

It's just that there are only two thousand scarecrows in the training ground, which is not convenient for them to be used, so Zhu Laosi made no arrangements.

But the layout of the battle formation is clearly to prepare for this.

What's more, there is also a standard cavalry.

It can be said that the first town of Dongfan Army will encounter an infantry army of more than [-] to [-] people.

They can all gain the advantage on the battlefield!

Especially when playing in a group of five with melee combat.

On the battlefield, in a small local area, the advantage is very obvious!

Very useful for melee formation!
Mu Ying and Lan Yu looked at each other, "Study!"Must learn!After returning, we must reform the prince's guard rate according to the Army's First Town, and kill those bastards who are the supervisors! '

What is the biggest shortcoming in Zhu Laosi's training?

It must be that the two standard fire guns of the first association are not unified. Since the effective range of the second standard is only fifty steps, it can only rush into the enemy's range of fifty steps and fire.

However, when Zhu Laosi leads the first town back to the court to help in the battle, the second standard will definitely change its clothes.

There is also a cavalry badge, which is not full of soldiers at all!

It must have been full at that time!
At that time, Zhu Laosi's army was probably the strongest in the world!

No!It already is!
