I'm a big dick

Chapter 207 The King of Arquebus Guns, Governor Xuanda
"Try shirtless!" Zhang Junneng laughed, and said, "We all study martial arts, Yaozu couldn't explain clearly, you still don't know how to answer?"

Zhang Zongbao put down his wine glass, thought for a while, and said, "If you can't penetrate the double-layer armor within fifty steps, then the blunt injury will probably cause Jiannu to vomit blood and break a bone."

"If the blunderbuss—" Zhang Zongbao curled his lips, "within a hundred steps, even wearing double-layer armor can kill him."

Zhao Huizu swallowed the meat in his mouth, took a sip of wine, and said, "I'm only looking at the eagle gun. I'll die from scratches. Even a man and a horse can be shot down. That's fierce!"

Zhang Junneng looked at Zhao Huizu sideways, and teased, "You're right, can you use that guy?"

Zhao Huizu didn't blush, and said, "It's still possible to fire one or two shots."

Zhang Zongbao laughed, and said: "The recoil of the eagle gun is really great, and those who are not physically strong and have great strength cannot use it."

Zhao Huizu said: "I heard that the higher authorities are studying this matter, maybe it can be changed, and it will be widely equipped in the army."

"There are such discussions." Zhang Junneng nodded and said, "There are also new weapons, and I heard that they will be distributed to all armies for use soon."

Zhang Zongbao was watching from the outside, and the news was not very well-informed. He didn't care much about any new weapons, but was only interested in whether the eagle can be commonly equipped.

The Lumi gun weighs no more than ten catties, but the eagle gun weighs sixteen catties.

The heavy gun body makes it necessary to support it with brackets to ensure stability, and the recoil is also very large, so it must be used by strong and tall soldiers.

Despite such limitations and flaws, the astonishing power of the eagle gun is still loved by the generals of the Ming army.

And the improvements that Zhang Jun can hear, as well as the deployment of new weapons, are also true.

In terms of weapons and equipment, or in other words, the continuous upgrading of science and technology, and the crushing of Jiannu has always been Zhu Youxiao's thinking and purpose.

According to his vision, he will continue to issue new research projects to the Weapons and Powder Bureau, and give some inspiration and guidance in due course.

For example, due to the limitation of the heavy matchlock gun, there is no way to reduce the weight temporarily, but Zhu Youxiao is still a little clever about the cushioning and shock absorption of the recoil.

What hydraulic shock absorption, what porous rubber, he knew there was no way to get it out.

However, adding a layer of cork to the butt, wrapping it with leather and cotton pads, and wearing thick cross-body shoulder pads for soldiers can buffer part of the recoil and reduce the physical requirements for using eagle guns.

As for the new weapon, it is the individual grenade that has been conceived for a long time.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be too perfunctory.It is also more dangerous for soldiers to make a fuse-type open flame device like Hong Tianlei.

Now there is glass, crushed into powder, and then brushed copper wire, sulfur and thin iron pipes, and a time-delay fuse similar to a matchlock, the grenade can be made into a pull-and-detonate type.

Such a device, except for the gunpowder loaded, is not much different from later generations in structure.

Of course, these are not craft secrets that the trio can know.The three of them didn't care, and continued chatting about other news.

"You don't have the idea of ​​taking the martial arts examination?" Zhao Huizu looked at this and that, and finally stopped on Zhang Junneng's face, "Yes, you are good at reading, don't you take care of yourself?"

Zhang Junneng was very dissatisfied with Fatty Zhao calling him by his nickname, rolled his eyes, but didn't scold him, and said casually: "We don't need those who have no background to get famous and win prizes."

Zhang Zongbao nodded in agreement, and said: "In martial arts, it's useless to be admitted to the martial arts Jinshi. This is Long Live to promote martial arts, mainly to add a way out for those people in the folk or guards."

Fatty Zhao understood, and said with a smile: "It's the same thing. If you want to be promoted, you still have to rely on your real skills. Military merit, isn't that what war is for."

The three continued to eat, drink, chat and laugh, Zhang Junneng suddenly thoughtful, took a peek at Fatty Zhao, and then asked Zhang Zongbao casually: "How is Dongjiang Army doing, do you still eat that kind of big pot meal? How are the common people doing?"

Zhang Zongbao was stunned for a moment, but he noticed Fatty Zhao's gaze and understood what Zhang Junneng meant.

After thinking for a while, he said, "The imperial court's supplies are still sufficient. When I came back, there were sea ships transporting grain from Nanyang to the shore. Not only for the army, but also for the people on the islands! "

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Junneng raised his glass and said with a smile, "Come on, drink."

"Drink." Fatty Zhao raised his glass, seeming to relax a lot.

"Drink." Zhang Zongbao and Zhang Junneng exchanged glances secretly, and the three wine glasses touched together.

"It's time to equip a large number of eagle guns. The king of the single matchlock gun can penetrate all armor at a relatively long distance." Zhu Youxiao sat in the imperial chair in the imperial study of Qianqing Palace and wrote the latest instructions to Sun Yuanhua. .

The development of flintlock guns has shown the dawn, and the manufacture of matchlock guns can be slowed down, and most of the production capacity will be transferred to eagle guns.

The [-] eagle blunderbuss ordered from the Portuguese long ago have been completed and shipped to [-], which will be distributed to Liao Town and Dongjiang Town first.

In addition to the grenade, the new weapons also include the Blooming Thunderbolt, which has been changed to a delayed detonation, and the Burning Thunderbolt, which is equipped with kerosene.

It is undoubtedly the most economical and quickest way to upgrade existing weapons to make them have various effects and powers.

Most of the Hongyi cannons need to be equipped with naval forces, and the production capacity of field artillery must be reduced. Daming's current military manufacturing industry is still in the stage of development and growth, and it is useless for Zhu Youxiao to be anxious.

Zhu Youxiao also wants to build more arsenals across the country!But the stall is too large, how to guarantee the capital, technical personnel, manpower, quality, etc.?

Well, well, just like the Mie Jian Nu and the Pingxian rebellion, there is no rush, you have to be steady and keep your feet on the ground step by step.

Isn't it five years since Pingliao? It's less than a year now, and Jiannu has already been beaten to tears!
Wang Tiqian came in to report that Zhu Tongmeng, the governor Xuanda's military department, was called to see him during the incident.

Zhu Youxiao didn't respond, didn't raise his head, and didn't put down the pen until he finished writing, and said to Wang Tigan who was waiting in a bowed posture, "Show him in!"

It was not long, and the burly Zhu Tongmeng entered the imperial study and knelt down to see him.

"Excuse me, and give me a seat." Zhu Youxiao looked at this official who was called an all-rounder in civil and military affairs, and was just an official, who dared to defend Xiong Tingbi when the power of Dongdong Lin was at its peak.

"My minister, thank you for your kindness." Zhu Tongmeng finished his salute, and sat down on the embroidered pier, his eyes drooping slightly, not daring to look directly at Shengyan.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and said: "I have read all of Zhu Qing's inscriptions, and they are very insightful. I have done a very good job of rectifying and announcing the military affairs."

The emperor's words stopped, and Zhu Tongmeng bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "Long live praises me, I am ashamed of myself."

In the first year of Tianqi, Zhu Tongmeng was ordered to go to Liaodong to investigate Xiong Tingbi. After returning to Beijing, he defended Xiong Tingbi and impeached Feng Congwu and others for building the "Shoushan Academy".

And just when he was about to be expelled from Beijing to take up the post of Su Song's military commander, the imperial court suddenly decreed to add a title to him and ordered him to be the governor of Xuanda.

Although Zhu Tongmeng was surrounded, he was loyal to state affairs and did not shirk, and left Beijing to take up his post with a few escorts.

In Xuanda, Zhu Tongmeng worked hard, making good and eliminating bad.Resolutely reject those who ask for rewards; those who are in arrears shall be checked and made up in time.This made the Ming army in the two towns of Xuanda take on a new look.

These political achievements were seen by the young emperor, which also gave him a judgment and made a decision to entrust Zhu Tongmeng with the important task of Governor Xuanda.

Xuanfu, that is, Zhangjiakou, the first of the nine border towns, is known as the northern gate of the capital; Datong is also an important border town.

Since Jiajing abandoned Hetao, Xuanda's status has become more prominent.The so-called elite soldiers are mostly gathered here, and two towns are divided into two towns to specialize in responsibilities.

In order to unify the command and closely coordinate the actions of the two towns, the Ming court also appointed Governor Xuanda to unify major military affairs.

It can be seen from this that Governor Xuanda is not an ordinary official of the frontier, but a court official who shoulders the heavy responsibility of national defense and the safety of the capital.

In terms of rank and seniority, the governor is the highest-level military officer who surpasses the generals at all levels and is below the minister of the Ministry of War. Only generals or officials with the most military experience can take up this position.

"The officers and soldiers of Xuanfu and Datong are tentatively set at [-] in each town."

The young emperor ordered the palace servants to cover Zhu Tong with tea, took out a document to look at, and explained, "Zhu Qing is going to train the army strictly. After half a year, I will see a strong army of [-]."

Zhu Tongmeng hastily bowed and said, "I will do my best to live up to the emperor's kindness."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "I have selected some capable generals for Zhu Qing to help you."

After a pause, Zhu Youxiao's face became serious, and he said: "Zhu Qing not only wants to train elite soldiers and guard border gates, but also to caress the Mongolian tribes, recruit naturalized Mongolians, and find out the situation in Hetao."

Zhu Youxiao emphasized his tone, emphasizing: "The Hetao is lost, and there will be no peace for our Ming Dynasty's northern frontier defense. Dongshengwei, I will rebuild it sooner or later. No matter it is five or ten years, this is the policy that the imperial court must implement."

"If the Hetao exists, the side will suffer, and if the Hetao is lost, the side will suffer. If this strategy is realized, it can ensure the stability of the Ming Dynasty in the north for a hundred years. What does Zhu Qing think?"

"Long live the wise man, Hetao is indeed an important place, and it must be recovered." Zhu Tongmeng bowed to accept the order with admiration, and his heart was also awe-inspiring. He felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier, but he also admired the emperor's ambition.

In the early Ming Dynasty, after Taizu expelled Yuan general Wang Baobao outside the Great Wall, he recovered Hetao and established Dongsheng Prefecture.

During the Yongle period, Zhu Di moved all the guards in Monan and the king of Sai to the pass in order to prevent the change of the guards in Monan and the king of Sai, and Dongshengwei City gradually fell into disrepair.

In the third year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty re-established Dongshengwei in the Hetao area.However, due to the newly established Dongshengwei Guxuan Grassland, lack of food and grass, and difficulty in defending, it was later moved to Yan and Sui areas.

Since then, the defense of the Hetao area has been empty, and it has gradually been occupied by the Mongolian tribes in Monan, declaring that the Ming Dynasty has completely lost the Hetao area, a battleground for military strategists.
