The flying of small flags and arrows did not attract the attention of Emperor Longqing, although this won the admiration of Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of War, but for Emperor Longqing, it was not a new thing.

It's just a rocket, who hasn't seen it?

That's right, Emperor Longqing really hadn't seen it, but he really wasn't the slightest surprised.

The emperor has no material desires, no matter what he sees, there will only be one question but no thought: Is this a thing in this world? If yes, it doesn't matter, it's his; If not, then it's fake, and there's nothing wrong with that.

He has desires, but they are not material desires, and when he wants something, he will not be satisfied when he gets it, because it is what belongs to him.

There is nothing in the world that does not belong to him.

Something like this swishing and flying, Emperor Longqing lost interest after only one glance at it when it exploded.

This is the weapon that the Ming Dynasty has, those guns that are much shorter than usual, and those cannons that are much thicker than usual, are the weapons of the Ming Dynasty. Weapons are made by themselves, and outstanding people like General Chen will also be born by themselves, so what is there to be surprised.

A mere rocket - Emperor Longqing put down the telescope with a jade shell, Chen Ju next to him immediately took the telescope, the emperor first looked at the Tatar and Warat envoys on the left side with their mouths slightly open, and then looked at the admiration of Liu Chenglong and other tributary envoys on the right, and the emperor's originally straight spine stood more straight.

He cares more about the thirty-one artillery cannons that have not yet been fired, because this, this time, can let those wanderers in the northern land who cannot let him conquer all the kingdoms on behalf of the heavens and cannot shine on their reach know that the majesty of the Great Tomorrow is not to be provoked.

Submit to.

On the evening of November 20 in the fourth year, with the sunset, Emperor Zhu Zaiyuan of the Ming Dynasty Longqing had a face as serious as possible and with the majesty of the Son of Heaven, but he slightly pursed the corners of his mouth to show a smile and nervousness that could not be hidden, and he shouted frantically in his heart.

Let them know! General Chen!

Let them know that the husband of all the nations in the world is one!

Let them know that the Huayi family shines under the sun and moonlight!

Let them know that I have been the king of China since ancient times!

Bang bang, bang bang!

The smoke of gunpowder filled in front of the banner army, and this time Zhao Gongming was not good in the world, because the banner army knew that the emperor they were born to serve was watching them from the city tower a hundred steps away, and some even shed tears while holding the trigger, although the tears blurred their vision, it was just right for them.

The blurred eyes and the smoke of gunpowder seemed to make them hallucinate, as if everything was back to the battle of the Juma River, their hands were constantly shaking due to nervousness or excitement, when the iron cavalry of the king and the king of the Great Wall crossed the border and trampled on their homeland, the three armies of the Ming Dynasty were defeated and the captives approached Beizhili.

It was the most honorable battle of many of their lives, shattering the armor of the invaders with their guns and cutting off the heads of the invaders with their knives.

It was as if the old days had returned, but the sky was blue, the clouds were low, the drums were not beating and the cannons were not sounding, and they heard that some horses were startled by the volley of firearms, and immediately the knight grabbed his mount by the neck and shouted: "Shoot forward!" ”

The front discharge gun no longer retreated, and the charge was fixed in place, and the flag army behind him rushed forward to shoot with the gun, and the sound of the gun was even more coherent and compact than in the Juma River trench, and the well-trained tactical movements of the flag army far exceeded Chen Mu's expectations.

He had never seen his banner army have such high morale, even if they were in a desperate situation, even if they faced an enemy several times stronger than him, even if they offered a high reward, never.

Or he could not have imagined that his banner army would be so alive in the face of an enemy army made of wood and earth.

This even made him believe that even if there was not the slightest cover on the land in front of him, even if he was also facing the boundless hussars of the Ji Neng Division, as long as the emperor watched from the city, they could kill through the enemy formation to the last man.

The military formation was slightly dispersed by the rapid and dense rounds of fire forward, and the people were no longer so dense with each other, leaving enough space for one person to pass, and they could no longer maintain an absolute phalanx, but like a stretching diagonal line, but no one could see this clearly above and below the city.

They could only see the three lines of defense line formed by the 500 Banner Army marching forward quickly, walking with steady steps and breathing, and the whole army was always hidden in the smoke of gunpowder, only the fire of the rapid fire at the mouth of the gun appeared in the smoke, and there were dozens of paces away—the spring of lead bullets had smashed the dense and tall wooden signs into a thousand holes.

"Drumming!"

Knock knock, knock knock!

Chen Ju clenched his fists in the city and whispered a word, and the stubborn old man beside him arched his head and asked, "What did the right eunuch say?" ”

Emperor Longqing retracted his gaze from the city and turned to Chen Ju's face.

Chen Ju arched his hand and said: "The drums are endless, and the shelling is continuous. Your Majesty, this is General Chen's military order to his ministers at the Juma River. ”

Rumble!

Eighteen two-pound cannons under the city roared, the sound was not loud, similar to those Franc machine guns in Beijing, but the shells were more powerful, almost visible to the naked eye, and more than a dozen arm-thick iron bullets almost at the same time crossed the head of the front-line flag army, and swept more than ten wooden signs five hundred steps away like a violent wind.

Those wooden cards that had already been shot by the birds were shattered, and they could hardly be blown into sawdust in the sky at Yongding Gate.

The Banner Army was still advancing, as if unaffected by the sound of artillery, and they continued to move forward, mechanically reloading and firing in the direction of their eyes level.

Emperor Longqing took the jade telescope, and only glanced at it to catch the flying sawdust in the sky, and then the mirror turned to fix on the pale faces of the envoys of Alta and Warat.

Boom!

This time, the sound of the cannon was much more shocking than before, and the sound was almost comparable to that of the previous jack wolf machine, but most of the people who had seen the test firing of the jack franc machine had never seen the twelve jack franc machines firing at the same time.

At this very moment, twelve five-pound cannons exploded less than a hundred paces below the city, even if the breeches of some cannons had been deformed and were no longer so accurate after being roughly leveled, but what everyone wanted at this time was obviously not accurate.

The five-pound cannon was able to bombard a round, Chen Mujun had already attacked a hundred steps away, and the huge projectiles roared through the air, crushing nearly ten zhang of earthwork and wooden barriers hundreds of steps away, all of which swept through, and nothing could stop the five-pound iron ball blasted out by the five-pound gunpowder.

When the cannon sounded, although it was no longer meaningful for Chen Muqi's army to release their guns, they still fired forward in turn, and before their formation, they burst into flames and iron pieces again and again.

They shot too fast forward, obviously unable to catch up with the oil line that had been prepared earlier, but this did not prevent the banner army from firing and firing in all directions with the fire fold that ignited the palm mine.

The ten-pound cannon exploded under the city, and the huge vibration seemed to make people feel that the city walls were shaken by the impact of air waves, of course, this was just an illusion caused by the explosion of a huge amount of gunpowder in the iron core copper shell. In the astonishing illusion, the drumming stopped, but the two-catty cannon and the five-catty cannon stopped still roaring in people's minds, and Emperor Longqing smiled reservedly.

The roar of the artillery seemed to have a good effect on the cowardly emperor's courage, and he turned to Duo and Qin in an unprecedented majestic voice and asked, "Junggar Taiji, my general still needs a spear?" ”

Duo Heqin looked at Emperor Longqing harmlessly, and he saw that the Great Tomorrow Son opened his mouth and said something to him, but he didn't know what he was talking about, he only felt schadenfreude.

If they were to run into such a narrow strip of land, they would not be able to go around the back of their cavalry but only attack head-on, and it would be impossible for them to rush through unless they ran out of ammunition.

Their horses would be frightened by the dense artillery and trample their warriors, and then they would die under the birds' guns; But what does this have to do with Duo and Qin? They are far away in the northwest of the desert, and they do not border the Ming Dynasty, and the only one who will meet the monster below is Meda.

Especially when this defensive army appeared on the Great Wall, I would have nightmares.

The emperor turned his head after asking, it didn't matter whether Duo Heqin answered this question or not, even if he answered something, the emperor couldn't hear clearly.

His ears were ringing, and so was everyone in the city, and the nobles who held the supreme authority of the empire could no longer communicate politely.

They need to shout.

The sky will be dark, and in two moments, the Nanyang Banner Army will crush and flatten all the wooden forts and earthworks of 1,500 steps.

As the general who had been bombarded indiscriminately for the longest time among the soldiers and horses in the six towns of Longqing, Chen Mu took his banner army to salute in the city, and he heard Feng Bao ask in a loud voice in the city: "General Chen, Your Majesty asked you, what is the name of that cannon?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that cannon is called a ten-pound cannon, because its bullet weighs ten catties!"

"Ten pounds?"

Emperor Longqing had learned from Tan Lun that Chen Mu's cannon was made by him, but the name really made the emperor ...... This cannon clearly weighed more than 1,000 catties, so it was given such a casual name, which made the emperor feel ashamed, and felt ashamed for General Chen's lack of rhetoric, and he asked Tan Lun loudly: "General Chen, is he literate?" ”

Tan Lun pursed his lips, his face was a little complicated, sighed, and got closer to the emperor, trying to use the emperor who others couldn't hear clearly, but also let the ears not be easy to hear for the time being.

He said: "He went to Guangdong Township to try martial arts, the official has been extreme, this year did not take the Jinshi exam, the minister transferred his test paper, written about the Ming Dynasty Maritime Administration, to open up thousands of miles of sea frontier for His Majesty, some insight, but the words are not very elegant. The minister thought that he was as brave as General Zhaowu, not to mention that the martial arts were strict, and he would not make a special trip to find such a lame calligrapher to write it. ”

"Ha, it's okay if the words are indecent, send his exam papers to Wenhua Palace, no, please ask Tan Qing to write a copy for me and then send it to Wenhua Palace." Emperor Longqing said and looked at the high arch that had taken care of him and sheltered him from the wind and rain when he was in the palace of King Yu, and asked: "Teacher, General Zhenshuo, the chief military officer of Xuanfu, what does Shuo mean?" ”

Gao Gong looked at Emperor Longqing and paused, glanced at the city, and then said: "Your Majesty, Shuo is the north, Zhenshuo, that is, the north of the ancient meaning town." ”

"I see." Emperor Longqing no longer let Feng Bao pass the word this time, and asked Chen Mu according to the battlements: "I ask you, can I build this artillery in Xuanfu?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it can be built in a year!"

"I ask you again, this artillery, I can use it on nine sides?"

"Back to Your Majesty, in two years, it will be available in the south, east and west!"

"Good! I seal your cannon, as General Zhenshuo, name...... Zhenshuo General Chen Gongshen cannon! ”

"I also seal you, General Zhenshuo's Xuanfu General Army, Wanquan Command Envoy Zhangyin Command Envoy, Yu Xuanfu prepares, trains, makes artillery, leads the people to return south, imitates the story of Jizhen, as the prime minister of Xuanfu, you may be responsible?"

Chen Mu took off his helmet and shouted thank you, as if he had opened the second level of the royal gift package.

In fact, he really wanted to tell Emperor Longqing one thing, the status of the Xuanfu General Army is noble, but it doesn't matter, but let me be the commander of the capital now, what else can I be sealed in the future?

Chen Mu thought-it's not right to use people like this.
