In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands, his whole expression was extremely excited.
Then, he picked up the inkstone and looked at it carefully.
I can't help but wonder whether this inkstone is better fried, or braised and stir-fried.
It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang is not calm enough, nor is it that Zhu Yuanzhang has good teeth.
In fact, the news he got now was too surprising.
Mei Yin, a good son-in-law, actually solved the problem in such a short period of time.
In a short period of time, he actually increased the firing speed of the flintlock gun by an unknown amount.
A matchlock fires two shots, a flintlock fires six!
What a concept!
After getting this thing, make it in large quantities and equip it to your Ming Dynasty's army.
It will definitely make the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses even greater.
This kind of thing makes people feel extremely excited just thinking about it!
When I first heard these things, I found them incredible.
I thought Mei Yin was bragging when he said he wanted to make the flintlock gun shoot faster.
But now, I realize that this is not bragging?
This guy is serious. What he thinks he is bragging about seems so natural to Mei Yin!
Compared with this guy Mei Yin, I am really far behind!
This Mei Yin is really unexpected, he is indeed his good son-in-law!
I really don’t know what this guy is thinking!
You can actually come up with such a good way to solve this problem!
Gunpowder and projectiles were all put into small paper tubes.
When using it, you only need to load it into the musket and then fire it.
This... Damn it, there really is this kid!
What a wonderful idea!
This thing, combined with the flintlock gun he made, is simply perfect!
Moreover, the method he thought of could not only be used on flintlock guns.
Even the matchlock gun can do this to greatly increase the shooting speed.
To be honest, this method is not too complicated.
As long as people think about it carefully, they can understand it.
However, for so many years, no one has thought about this.
Many things are worthless to explain and seem to be very simple.
Many people can do it casually, it's not something advanced.
But before this layer of window paper was pierced, many people thought hard and couldn't think of what to do.
This is the rare thing about what Mei Yin, the son-in-law, has done!
This kid is truly a genius!
He was able to even think of this, and after making it, it worked so well!
Zhu Yuanzhang saw more things and found out that Mei Yin had done this by putting gunpowder and projectiles into small paper tubes and then launching them.
The benefits are not just as simple as being able to greatly increase the shooting speed.
In addition, there is another more important place.
That is to enable people to master weapons such as muskets better and more proficiently.
It's not just as simple as aiming and shooting, there's one more thing besides that.
Particularly difficult to do.
That's loading gunpowder.
It’s not that it’s difficult to load gunpowder, but it’s not that easy to load gunpowder to a suitable level.
Especially on the battlefield.
Soldiers who use muskets need to face the enemy while loading gunpowder, and they can easily panic.
Either it is easy to pretend to be less, or it is easy to pretend to be too much, especially for novices.
If there is less gunpowder, it will not be as powerful, and the projectiles fired will not be powerful enough.
It won’t work if you install too many, as problems of one kind or another may easily occur.
Occasionally, the gun will explode.
It’s not that the quality of the gun isn’t good enough.
Rather, it means that too much gunpowder was put inside.
It is not easy to master such a quantity, and it often requires practice many times before you can gradually master it.
Make sure that every time you load gunpowder on the battlefield, it will be just right.
But now, this guy Mei Yin has come up with this method.
This very difficult problem was solved in no time!
With these pre-prepared bullets, the musketeers will shoot in the future.
There is no need to manually load gunpowder into it.
Just put the pre-made bullets into the gun.
The gunpowder in the bullet can be made very standard.
Under such circumstances, there will be no series of problems caused by too little or too much gunpowder.
It can be said that Mei Yin’s move is of great significance!
The improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army is not just a small improvement!
It was also because of the emergence of firearms such as flintlock muskets that Zhu Yuanzhang was inspired to produce a large number of flintlock muskets and set up special firearms battalions in the army to use muskets and other firearms in battle.
A good thing like a flintlock gun, if used well, is not too powerful!
When dragged onto the battlefield, it is definitely very capable of fighting and can have a particularly tyrannical effect.
Although the Ming Dynasty's current army is equipped with muskets, it does not have an organized and specialized firearms army.
As for what to name this type of military unit?
Zhu Yuanzhang soon had an idea - Shenji Camp!
That’s right, it’s Shenji Camp!
The reason why he called him this name was because he remembered some of the scenes he saw when he was watching the life of the fourth child.
This guy, Lao Si, formed the Shenji Battalion.
In the process of Laosi's conquest of the world, the Shenji Battalion made many achievements and played a considerable role.
And he also thinks that the name of this Shenji Camp is quite good.
If that's the case, then he should also name it Shenji Camp.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt at ease with his actions.
Take it for granted.
At the same time, there was still some secret joy in my heart.
What's wrong with him as a father using something his own son made?
It's only natural!
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood at this time was beyond beautiful!
Through the simulator, he learned that among these descendants, there was an extremely outstanding descendant like the Ming God of War, and he was particularly happy.
Now we have Mei Yin, a good son-in-law, who has made such a good thing as a flintlock gun.
And he also killed the poisonous woman Lu who killed his own hero and his eldest daughter-in-law!
From now on, the fate of his eldest grandson Xiongying and his eldest daughter-in-law will definitely be rewritten because of this.
This made him feel more and more cheerful.
So much so that I don't feel so angry anymore when I think of how Mei Yin, this ungrateful son-in-law, reprimanded me.
When he addressed Mei Yin, he unconsciously became a good son-in-law again.
It can be seen from here that Zhu Yuanzhang is in a good mood.
At this time, he already wanted someone to call his Biao'er.
Let your family Biao'er take the imperial edict he wrote before and quickly ask him to go to Shuangshui Village.
Confess Mei Yin, a good son-in-law, to Shuangshui Bo and give him the title of nobility.
However, such thoughts were eventually suppressed by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Tell yourself not to panic first.
I have spoken so harshly before.
He looked like he would never reward Mei Yin, his son-in-law, and was extremely angry.
How long had passed before he suddenly said such words to Biao'er again.
Wouldn't that... make me, an emperor and father, particularly shameless?
Not only that, he also thought of something else.
That was the imperial edict that I had made before, and it seemed that it was left behind by my sister.
I'm afraid 80% of them were given to Biao'er.
Based on what I know about my own girl, it's very likely that I don't have to do anything more.
My sister and Biao'er will deal with this matter first and then report it.
That’s fine, that way you’ll have some dignity.
You can calm down and stop talking like this.
This is also because something like Lu's happened, which made Biao'er feel uncomfortable.
That's why now, the eldest son of his family has not yet gone to Shuangshui Village to give Mei Yin the decree he made and call him Uncle Shuangshui.
But this matter is not urgent, Biao'er has almost recovered from Lu's matter.
Next, I inadvertently revealed the news about the flintlock gun to my boss.
I think Biao'er will soon take the imperial edict and go there to reward Mei Yin, a good son-in-law.
Anyway, the person who received this award was Biao'er, and he didn't know it.
They did it secretly.
I didn't break what I said before.
It can be said that once Zhu Yuanzhang met Mei Yin, his mood was extremely complicated.
Often seems a bit childish.
It's true that Mei Yin is so angry that she is furious, but she is also very capable, and can pull off big surprises without any trouble, making people love and hate her at the same time.
Zhu Yuanzhang was in a really good mood and felt that he had been really lucky in recent times.
Many things in my own country are getting better quickly.
Became more prosperous and powerful.
He couldn't help but think of other things.
People like Li Shanchang have been severely beaten by him.
The abolition of the Executive Secretary and the establishment of three departments are also being promoted.
Now... some things can be put on the agenda and started in the near future!
This matter is to abolish the maritime ban and re-establish the Municipal Shipping Department!
But before you do this, there is one more thing you need to do first!
This matter needs to be resolved by the brothers Wu Liang, Marquis of Jiangyin, and Wu Zhen, Marquis of Jinghai!
Capture them, deprive them of military power, and clear away all the culprits!
Zhu Yuanzhang has not forgotten how much effort the two brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang played in abolishing the Municipal Shipping Department and establishing a maritime ban!
And over the years, how much money have I lost because of this!
For a very poor person like him, who has always tightened his belt and lived a life from the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present, and has never been rich.
Just don’t mention it!
It’s as uncomfortable as you want!
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little red.
Then I thought about Wu Liang and Wu Zhen, who were very close to Li Shanchang on weekdays.
Moreover, that bitch Wu Liang actually planned to send someone to attack Mei Yin some time ago.
The pile of firewood has been ordered!
I also happened to meet my boss, who was also staying there for the night.
Thinking about such things makes Zhu Yuanzhang furious!
Murderous spirit overflowing!
This is my mark, and my good son-in-law!
He, Wu Liang, dared to take action?
I really don’t want to live anymore!
The two brothers Wu Liang and Wu Zhen were promoted by themselves.
If you don't have your own intention to promote them, if you want them to rise in the military, you won't let the Chaohu Navy family dominate.
It is absolutely impossible for the two brothers to have a double sect and reach this level!
They were the confidants whom he single-handedly promoted, but who would have thought that these people would soon change after receiving high-ranking positions.
He is obviously his confidant, but he is alienated from him and goes further and further away!
How could he still look like his confidant? !
He is teaming up with others and trying different ways to deceive and deceive himself!
Harm the Ming Dynasty!
But he also showed a very loyal look.
Zhu Yuanzhang hated betrayal by others.
At this time, the actions of Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers were a complete betrayal to him!
How can he feel better in his heart?
What's more, this matter involves Mei Yin, the son-in-law.
What the hell does Wu Liang want to compete with Mei Yinlai?
What's more important is that he can't compete with Mei Yin's good son-in-law, so he has to use off-beat moves to deal with his own good son-in-law!
Such a piece of shit, if he doesn't die, who will? !
Before that, because there are a series of things to do, we need to concentrate our efforts and fight with Li Shanchang to win this extremely difficult battle!
You can't make too many enemies at the same time, and you can't force many people to go to Li Shanchang.
That's why I tolerated it for the time being, turned a blind eye, lifted it up high, put it down gently, and didn't pay too much attention to these things.
Just deal with Li Shanchang wholeheartedly.
Now Li Shanchang has been beaten to the ground.
The aftermath of the Kongyin case has basically dissipated. At this time, it’s time to consider taking action against Wu Liang!
Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he could think about it. Recently, he took action against Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers and captured them all.
Previously, he did not take action against Wu Zhen and Wu Liang.
It’s not that I don’t want to move, it’s that the conditions don’t allow it.
Now that conditions permit, it is natural to deal with these two people quickly.
Thus starting his great career!
It has never been Zhu Yuanzhang's style not to avenge one's enemies!
And he is not a generous person.
It can be said that Wu Liang's various actions were completely above his bottom line, and he trampled on it with all his strength.
He was added to the list of those who must die.
……
"Master! Good news, great news!"
At the same time, someone came over from Wu Liang's Jiangyin Marquis Mansion.
Wu Liang was very happy and made a report.
"Master! Get the latest news!
Over in Shuangshui Village, Mei Yin, the thief who farmed the land and fed the pigs, was not honest.
Now he is actually making firearms privately!
This is a grave sin! ”
The man who came came to report to Wu Liang.
When Wu Liang heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on his face.
"Is what you said true?"
The man hurriedly replied: "Reporting to the master, it is true.
These days, the villain pays very careful attention to the news in Shuangshui Village. That dog who farms the fields and feeds the pigs actually spends most of his time farming the fields and feeding the pigs, and rarely does anything out of the ordinary.
However, hard work pays off.
The villain has been paying attention carefully for so long, and now, he finally got this great news!
That bitch Mei Yin is making firearms privately!
Moreover, he did not shy away from testing his privately made musket outside..."
This man said to Wu Liang with some excitement on his face.
When Mei Yin was mentioned, he was very disdainful and called Mei Yin a farmer who feeds pigs.
The reason for this is because he is Wu Liang's confidant.
He knew very well how much conflict there was between his master and Mei Yin.
He also knew that much of his wealth was tied to Mei Yin, who fed pigs on the ground.
As long as I do my job well and rely on the master's hatred towards Mei Yin, I will definitely be able to achieve endless glory and wealth this time!
My master, for many years, wherever he went, he was treated with respect by others.
I haven't suffered any losses at all.
Even if you suffer some losses occasionally, it is still a small loss.
But this time, Mei Yin suffered a setback.
According to his master's character, how could he possibly spare Mei Yin lightly?
Now that I have caught such crucial evidence, my master will definitely reward me.
When Wu Liang heard this, he also became energetic.
Then asked in detail.
After knowing this, he pondered for a while and said: "Go over there and watch carefully to see if the pig feeder does anything out of the ordinary?
If there is any, please report it to me as soon as possible! ”
The man was stunned for a moment when he heard the words and hurriedly responded.
After agreeing, she looked at him and whispered: "Master, isn't this... enough?
This is a privately made firearm! ”
Wu Liang shook his head when he heard this and said: "Either you don't do this, or you do it forever.
Be sure to hit it with every hit!
Put this bitch Mei Yin to death and make it impossible for him to recover!
This crime is indeed very serious, but if you want to hit it with one hit, he will not be able to overturn the situation.
It's not that easy.
So on your side, you should pay more attention.
Let's see if this bitch can become more and more suicidal and do more suicidal things! ”
Hearing what Wu Liang said, Wu Liang's confidant nodded quickly to show that he understood.
Wu Liang took out a piece of gold and gave it to him: "Take these and work hard. I will never treat you badly, Lord Marquis."
After acquiring this large ingot of gold, I personally heard my master’s promise.
Wu Liang's servant suddenly showed more joy and shock on his face.
He said that he would not disappoint the master's expectations and would do things beautifully.
As the man left, Wu Liang was the only one left in the room.
Wu Liang held two walnuts in his hand and turned them gently.
The two walnuts have been plated with oil and water.
In fact, what he just said to this person was not what he really thought.
Before passing, what the Korean father-in-law did at Zhu Laosi's wedding, and the emperor's blatant deviation.
He could tell that Mei Yin still had some position on the emperor's side.
Of course, at that time, the Korean prince would be targeted in this way by His Majesty, mainly because the situation in which the Korean prince was doing things was not right.
In such a situation, he wanted to use a fool like Mei Yin to show the emperor some color, and he lost the royal family's face.
That's why Zhu Yuanzhang seized the opportunity and said such words.
This is not because Mei Yin is so important...
However, after all the previous failures, he decided to play it safe.
It would be better to collect more evidence and then attack Mei Yin.
And he also knew that given Zhu Yuanzhang's protective character, it would be impossible for him to completely kill Mei Yin.
It is impossible to search for more evidence.
But as long as there is enough evidence, Mei Yin's life will definitely not be easy.
Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely punish him.
Even if I can't hold him down, I still have to disgust him!
Let him know that the sky is high and the earth is high!
Knowing that ginger is still spicy!
For one thing, the servant of Jiangyin Marquis Mansion was right.
Wu Liang really hated Mei Yin to the extreme.
Where has Wu Liang suffered any big losses?
As a result, now, with a bastard like Mei Yin, he was being humiliated one after another.
Especially when it comes to Liuli, he still can't forget the look on his face when his old friends looked at him.
It’s really embarrassing to be thrown into grandma’s house!
Such a huge shame made him blush every time he thought about it!
I just feel so ashamed
So much so that during this period of time, he even saw less of these old friends.
During gatherings in the past, he used to speak very loudly, but his voice was not so loud.
This matter has become a knot in his heart that cannot be solved.
The only way to untie this knot is to take action against Mei Yin and achieve a decisive victory.
Get back all the lost dignity!
In this way, he will be able to vent his anger smoothly in the future!
In front of those old friends, I can raise my head again.
As for whether he will attack Mei Yin after he collects enough evidence in the future and file a complaint with the emperor, will the emperor not punish Mei Yin...
Wu Liang wouldn't think much about this at all.
I feel that such a thing is impossible to happen.
No matter what you say, he is still very important as Jiangyin Marquis.
I still have some face.
How much contribution did their Wu family, a pair of nobles, make for the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Chongba?
These are all done with your life!
In the Jilongshan Heroes Temple, there are also the names of his two brothers.
Now Jiangfang and Haiphong are all in the hands of his brothers
The Chaohu Navy, which had not always had a good relationship with him and others, was already half-impaired.
The leading figure, Deqinghou Liao Yongzhong, was dead.
Under such circumstances, the status of his two brothers became increasingly important.
The Ming Dynasty had very strict control over firearms.
Now Mei Yin is making firearms secretly.
This matter is not so easy to settle!
Many things, if not weighed on a scale, weigh less than four taels, but once weighed on a scale, they weigh more than a thousand kilograms!
So Mei Yin, this bitch, just wait for me to attack him next!
Do you really think that you, the Marquis, are a vegetarian?
After provoking yourself, you still want to be so comfortable?
He thought beautifully!
I just hope that this bitch will become more arrogant and domineering in the future and do more outrageous things!
Only in this way can I teach him a profound and unforgettable lesson!
Let him know how many eyes Lord Ma has!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but smile.
A sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.
Wu Liang seemed to have seen Mei Yin being extremely uncomfortable by his next method, and he looked like he had won a great victory.
Once this kind of thing is done well, the knot in his heart can be opened.
I can chat and laugh with my old friends again!
All the face that was lost before this will be recovered exponentially!
A person who has reached his stage has a huge reputation!
They are all people with status and reputation, how can they do it without losing face?
……
Wu Liang's son, Wu Gao, was lying on the bed, thinking about all the things that had happened recently.
Especially in the Kongyin case not long ago, so many officials were executed.
Not long ago, the crown prince's concubine, the Lu family, disappeared, and the Lu family was beheaded. Even Lu Ben, the Minister of Rites, was beheaded.
My heart couldn't help but feel heavy and uneasy.
This... Why is His Majesty's murderous intention getting more and more serious?
So many high-ranking officials were beheaded at his request.
It’s really scary!
However, while feeling very scary, I couldn't help but feel a little happy in my heart.
Fortunately, their family foundation is solid enough.
And the mistakes my father made before this were not fatal enough.
What's more important is that after these several events.
I think my father can see the situation clearly.
I know how difficult the situation is today.
This will make his father be more restrained when doing things in the future.
After what happened, his father would definitely not do anything unwise to Mei Yin again.
After all, too many things happened during this period.
It's also too scary.
My father is a smart man. He has experienced so many storms and waves, so he will understand this truth...
……
"Second uncle, you...what are you planning to do?"
Over at Shuangshui Village, Li Jinglong looked at his second uncle Mei Yin, who was starting to make things here again, and couldn't help but ask.
Mei Yin said: "Jinglong, I thought about it, our Ming Dynasty has a lot of room for improvement not only in terms of muskets.
The same goes for artillery.
Today's artillery is not powerful enough.
When I had a casual chat with Mr. Qingtian, I got a lot of inspiration at once, and I also had certain ideas about artillery.
Get ready to give it a try.
Let's see if we can come up with more powerful artillery next time. ”
Mei Yin didn't show any concern and directly stated her purpose.
Li Jinglong was stunned after hearing what Mei Yin said.
My heart is filled with disbelief.
The boss with his mouth open.
No...what the hell is this? !
What did you hear?
My second uncle, is this serious? !
How...why does this sound so incredible?
Second uncle, why...are you still here?
My second uncle just got out the flintlock gun.
A knowledgeable person, after seeing this flintlock gun.
You will definitely be so excited that you can’t sleep, shouting about your talent!
Even a person like me who is not very knowledgeable can know how important this flintlock gun is!
I am still immersed in it and have not come out!
As a result, my second uncle, the man who made the flintlock gun with his own hands, actually started to think about making the artillery too.
And... this sounds like another inspiration from Mr. Qingtian!
This made Li Jinglong not know what to say to express his feelings for a moment.
Could it be that...the gap between this person and this person is really that big?
The second uncle and Mr. Qingtian can create so many sparks together.
Mr. Qingtian is indeed Mr. Qingtian. Just chatting with his second uncle can give him so much inspiration.
I spent time with my second uncle day and night, but I didn’t give my second uncle any inspiration...
While feeling surprised, Li Jinglong became extremely looking forward to it.
This musket, after what my second uncle did, was able to increase its power so much.
He got it out, a flintlock gun that he had never seen before.
Far beyond my imagination.
If next, my second uncle starts to improve the artillery, what good things can he come up with? !
It seems that the artillery made through the hands of my second uncle was inspired by Liu Bowen, a sincere uncle.
The effect will definitely reach a level that is shocking and even subversive!
At that moment, Li Jinglong stopped asking any more questions.
I started here to see what my second uncle did.
And I also put myself completely on the identity of doing small jobs and doing odd jobs.
He must help his second uncle wholeheartedly.
Witness the miracle next to my second uncle!
……
"Second uncle, this...is the artillery mold you are going to make?"
What Li Jinglong saw was far larger than what he had seen. Those cannon models were much thicker and thicker. He couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and ask.
Mei Yin nodded and said: "Yes, this is the mold of the artillery I am going to make."
"Isn't this... too big?"
Mei Yin said: "That's right. This is the inspiration I got from Mr. Qingtian.
Why are artillery more powerful than muskets?
It’s because the artillery is big enough and contains a lot of gunpowder and projectiles
Then let's start, make a bigger and longer cannon, and load more gunpowder and projectiles into it.
Does that mean that the artillery can be made more powerful?
Big is good, thick is beautiful! ”
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Li Jinglong couldn't help but blinked.
Although this was the first time he heard some of these words, he still found them quite shocking.
Thinking about it again, it seems like...that's really what happened.
Just...why does it sound so crude and so simple? ”
"Second Uncle, it's not easy to transport such a heavy artillery piece. It's too bulky..."
Mei Yin said: "It doesn't matter, you can add wheels to the cannon.
Wouldn't it be much more convenient to transport it this way?
Moreover, in addition to adding wheels, it can also be placed on the city wall to defend the city.
Most importantly, it can also be mounted on large warships.
Doesn't this serve its purpose? ”
After hearing this, Li Jinglong thought about it and suddenly felt that what his second uncle said was indeed quite right.
I won’t say more on this matter now.
Compared with his uncle, who boasts unique ideas and quick thinking, he is far inferior.
……
"Master! Master! Great news, great news!
Then Mei Yin, a farmer who feeds pigs, not only made muskets, but is now also making cannons privately! ! ”
"Really?!"
Wu Liang stood up with surprise on his face and hurriedly asked...(End of Chapter)
