Chapter 391 I can only promise the country with a seven-foot body
The clan culture in the north of the Ming Dynasty is not serious. Compared with the clans in the south that can be traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties, they are all insignificant and live in the north. It is difficult for many people to imagine the intensity of the clashes between clans in the south. Swords, guns, swords, halberds, firecrackers and armor are all available. Fighting is a major headache for governors everywhere.
During the long border conflicts, the northern clan culture disappeared due to years of war. Anyone with some wealth had already settled in the south. For the poor coolies, migration was just a journey. A desperate journey with an uncertain future, but for a wealthy family, migration is not a big problem.
For example, Wang Chonggu, Wang Chongyi and other Shanxi merchants purchased properties and houses of varying sizes in Yangzhou, just to facilitate the south to avoid disaster when there were changes in the north. The two emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty were captured, and when the Eastern Jin Dynasty was established, There were people who traveled south in clothes, and the two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty were captured. When the Southern Song Dynasty was established, there were people who crossed the river with mud horses. The two major southward migrations also blocked the development of clan culture in the north.
Xiong Tingbi was a standard cowherd boy. He was a poor coolie. Logically speaking, he should not have come into the sight of the Ming Emperor until he passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination.
At this time, Xiong Tingbi stood in front of the emperor wearing armor. This was a very dangerous move. Generally speaking, wearing armor to see the emperor was suspected of treason. Zhou Bo, the founder of the Han Dynasty, wore armor After meeting Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he was arrested and investigated.
But the ceremonial officials were only vigilant, rather than stepping forward to knock Xiong Tingbi down, because Xiong Tingbi wore King Lu's five-chapter iron Hun armor.
"In the fourth year of Wanli, Governor Pan recruited local braves to capture bandits. I had the strength to do so, so he responded to the imperial edict to capture bandits and bandits, and became an archer. Because of his bravery, he was sent to the capital to participate in the Because of his young age, he was sent to the school in the Beijing camp. Later, it was the selection rehearsal of His Royal Highness Prince Lu. I had no opponent at my age." Xiong Tingbi briefly told the circumstances of his entry into the capital.
In the inspection departments throughout the Ming Dynasty, except for the ninth-grade inspection, the other archers are rewarded. If they catch enough bandits and bandits, they can subsidize their families.
Xiong Tingbi has little courage and makes a living by catching bandits and bandits. The Beijing camp also needs to be replaced, so Xiong Tingbi, who is far away in Jiangxia, was chosen.
In short, it was Wanli's strict selection that allowed Xiong Tingbi to appear in the capital and even become King Lu's sparring partner.
The most glorious moment of Xiong Tingbi’s life was when he was an enemy of the Dongyi Jurchens in Liaodong. In the Battle of Sarhu, the old slave chief Nurhaci defeated the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty was defeated. Xiong Tingbi still resolutely resisted for three years. In 2000, the DPRK's Zhonglin Party and the Eunuch Party fought to the death, and Xiong Tingbi was dismissed. After being transferred, the old slave chief Nurhachi immediately occupied Liaoyang.
Xiong Tingbi was dismissed because of party strife, not because of "losing his teacher and harming the country, pretending to be ill to deceive the emperor". This was confirmed by Emperor Tianqi himself. Emperor Tianqi, who lived in the ninth level, specifically gave Xiong Tingbi a warning. The imperial edict, based on the identity of the emperor, admitted Xiong Tingbi's mistake.
Edict to Xiong Tingbi, the right minister of the Ministry of War: I have been your minister in charge of Liaodong for three years, intimidating the barbarians and trying to protect the city. I broke up, and you obeyed the order and returned home. I regret this day. The investigation report has made it clear that the purpose has been put into effect, and it is time for Liaoyang to fall. I have thought about your previous efforts and thought that you would not allow the slaves and thieves to run rampant. At this point, you should remember the kindness of the emperor's summons. Now that I am away from foreign troubles in the new year, I reluctantly come out for me. Planning and security.
Emperor Tianqi dismissed Xiong Tingbi for his crime, believing that he was stupid and believed the rumors of the officials. The ministers did not speak to Xiong Tingbi. I have regretted it. Now Liaoyang has fallen. Dear Xiong Tingbi. In the face of Emperor Wanli's favor, he once again visited Liaodong.
When Xiong Tingbi was in Liaoyang, the old slave chief, with the power of victory in the Battle of Sarhu, was still unable to do anything to Liaoyang. This gave the Ming Dynasty a few years of breathing space and might not have the strength to fight again. However, the party struggle between North Korea and China Continuously, after Xiong Tingbi was transferred, Liaoyang fell immediately.
At this time, whoever goes to the Liaodong battlefield to take charge of the overall situation is bound to die, because he will definitely suffer defeat and will be responsible for the defeat.
Xiong Tingbi was very pessimistic about the situation in the Liaodong war. He wrote to Emperor Tianqi: There is no support from the outside, and there is no help from the inside. His seven-foot body has been handed over to the imperial court, and success or failure is a matter of life and death.
At that time, Lin Dan Khan was driven westward, and the old slave chief held the head of North Korea, making the North Korean monarchs and ministers their grandchildren. The Ming Dynasty lost its right and left arm outside the Great Wall. Xiong Tingbi didn't see any hope for the situation in the Liaodong war. If he had any idea of protecting his own safety, he would not wade into this muddy water again. He was dismissed by the emperor, so he only had to pretend to be ill.
But he still served as governor of Liaodong and proposed a tripartite strategy.
The core of this tripartite strategy is defense. If the Hulu themselves die and don't attack, will they wait for the other party to commit suicide?
This is Xiong Tingbi’s plan to outlast his opponents. Ming Dynasty has the capital to do such a thing.
It is not that there have never been strong men in the North, such as Ye Xian, who even captured the Yingzong Emperor, such as Dayan Khan and Ada Khan, but these strong men are all short-lived and have no stable political structure to support them. This kind of regime is destined to be short-lived and cannot last long.
Its prosperity was rapid, and its demise was sudden, so the Hulu had no luck for a hundred years.
The core of Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to stick to the city no matter how provocative the enemy is, not giving the enemy a chance, not causing greater losses, using Ming's health bar to drag the opponent to death, or waiting. If there is a change, this strategy is a rogue one. In Xiong Tingbi's view, every time Daming raises a bet, he is raising the opponent's value.
The biggest problem with Xiong Tingbi's strategy is that he is afraid of the enemy. The world is invincible. How can he use the tactic of shrinking and defending in the face of the rebellion of the old slave chieftain General Longhu and wait for the opponent to collapse?
So there are many opponents, and of course there are many supporters. The Ming Dynasty's finances cannot make ends meet. Without money and food, no one continues to invest in the battlefield of Liaodong. For example, Xu Guangqi, Ye Wang, Ma Yun and others have seen the consequences of Liaodong. Difficult, support Xiong Tingbi's strategy.
This strategy was approved by the emperor and implemented steadily, effectively curbing the expansion of the old slave chieftain. His insistence on waiting for the opportunity to restore his combat power also made Xiong Tingbi suffer from the reputation of fearing the enemy. The old slave chiefs all scolded Xiong Tingbi for being a bastard who only knew how to stick to the city and was not a real man.
When the ministers of the old slave chieftain were shouting: The Ming Dynasty is invincible and the sky is bounded by the land of Liao, the Donglin Party took action!
The Donglin Party members never disappoint people!
Wang Huazhen, a disciple of Donglin party leader Ye Xianggao and governor of Liaodong, shouted: Invite 60,000 troops to fight and defeat them in one fell swoop!
Wang Huazhen led his troops into battle, he went up with A, and he lost.
In the Battle of Guangning, Wang Huazhen was defeated. Guangning, the key place arranged by the three parties, fell into the enemy's hands. The strategy arranged by the three parties immediately failed. The Ming Dynasty in Liaodong had changed from a passive defense to a completely passive situation.
Wang Huazhen saw that Ye Xianggao couldn't save him, couldn't defeat the old slave chief, and couldn't deal with you, Xiong Tingbi? Wang Huazhen turned to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and Xiong Tingbi was eventually beheaded in public and his head was passed down to nine sides.
Xiong Tingbi was beheaded in public. It was a tragedy. It was a scapegoat introduced by the Eunuch Party, Donglin Party, and the emperor for their own sake. Xiong Tingbi already knew this outcome when he agreed to Emperor Tianqi. With no help from the outside and no help from the inside, I can only surrender my seven-foot body to the country.
Xiong Tingbi is not a Donglin Party, nor is he an Eunuch Party. He has no one in the court. He is from Jiangxia, Huguang, and is considered a Chu Party. However, after Zhang Juzheng passed away and his house was ransacked, the Chu Party has only been left to survive. If Liaodong is defeated, Wang Huazhen can appeal to Donglin or even seek refuge with Wei Zhongxian, but Xiong Tingbi can only die.
The Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Saarhu. Xiong Tingbi could still continue to block the expansion of the old slave chieftain in Liaoyang. After the Battle of Liaoyang was defeated, Xiong Tingbi could still serve as a manager, find a strategy for the Liaodong war, and seek glory in Xiong Tingbi. After being humiliated, Ming Dynasty was completely helpless in the Liaodong War.
"You can follow me from now on." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and transferred Xiong Tingbi's organizational relationship from Prince Lu's Mansion to his own name, and only paid six beauties from all over the world to his brother for this deal. Don’t be too cost-effective.
The Ming Emperor never did loss-making business!
"I obey the decree." Xiong Tingbi bowed his head and accepted his fate. When King Zhu Yiliu of Lu handed over the task to him, he had already made it clear: Your Majesty will definitely do it when he sees your bravery. If you have a love for talents, you should try your best in troubled times.
Zhu Yirui would not keep such a conspicuous bag of a versatile civil and military talent with him. Such a conspicuous bag would delay Zhu Yirui's enjoyment of the peaceful life of beauties from all over the world.
The only surprise in the whole thing is that Xi Guo Wushuang, who boasts so much, is really vulnerable.
Of course, Xiong Tingbi, who is wearing the Iron Hun Armor of Lu Wang Chapter 5, is completely a krypton gold warrior with full-level divine armor. Takahashi Tonghu also wants to use a samurai sword to open this kind of can, let alone Xiguo Wushuang, even if it is He is a Japanese warrior and has no such ability.
To open cans, especially things like iron armor, you need to use firearms.
Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't say a word. His position at this time was that of the Japanese king who was waiting for death in the Ming Dynasty. His past honors and disgrace had nothing to do with him. There is no power to intervene in state affairs, so now he can only watch Takahashi Tonghu's defeat.
There is even some schadenfreude. This mentality stems from the fact that he has been ignored for many years and has been wandering around with no way to seek help. Watching these weaklings suffer is also one of his pleasures.
Takahashi Tongtora looked hesitant, sat on the ground, and took off his armor. Takahashi Tongtora planned to serve honorably, which meant committing seppuku.
This kind of seppuku requires removal of the internal organs. Because it is too painful and too troublesome to remove the internal organs, there is often a person who cuts off the other person's head after the knife enters the abdomen. Complete the process of going to justice with honor.
Zhu Yijun did not stop watching this scene. It was the first time for him to observe the Japanese glorious march to justice at such a close distance.
The scene was awkward for a while. Takahashi Tongtora's education told him that if he didn't do it, he would die, but the severe pain from his abdomen told him that seppuku was really painful, more painful than Xiong Tingbi. That knee hurt much more.
He was a little afraid, he was just here to make a name for himself, and according to the big names, the Ming Dynasty would only send opponents of similar age to fight him.
Da Ming did send someone of similar age, but he pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.
After hesitating again and again, Takahashi Tongtora put down the short sword in his hand. In the end, he still could not make up his mind. He found a reason for himself. It was not shameful to lose to the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it natural to lose to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of Heaven!
The conflicts between the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty always ended with the Ming Dynasty winning and losing to the Celestial Kingdom. They were not so embarrassed that they had to go to justice gloriously.
This reason is so inadequate and yet so reasonable.
Zhu Yijun stood up slightly disappointed, looked at Takahashi Toutora, thought for a while and said: "Go and take off Oda Nobunaga's head to prove your bravery and wash away today's shame. "
Zhu Yijun left. According to the rules of Yiqidu, Zhu Yijun had the right to deal with prisoners of war, but he did not deal with Tonghu Takahashi. This guy was only fourteen years old. According to Ming Dynasty law, even if it was a serious crime of rebellion, , even if the clan is being punished, people under the age of fifteen will not be killed, and those under the wheel of the grassland will not be killed, and they will reach the same destination by different routes.
"I must be the strongest person in Japan!" Takahashi Tonghu shouted loudly at the emperor's back when he left, if he can't defeat the Ming people, can he still defeat the Japanese? Takahashi Totora's idea is a bit weird, wrong but right.
After Xiong Tingbi left Prince Lu's Mansion, he did not move to the palace, but to the Quan Chu Guild Hall. This was the emperor's arrangement. Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng to take out a Quan Chu Guild Hall badge. From now on , Xiong Tingbi became Zhang Juzheng's disciple.
Zhu Yijun's move was mainly to let this eleven-year-old child study hard. Xiong Tingbi wanted to practice martial arts and study at the same time.
Tachibana Chiyo eventually became a maidservant, a maid who washed clothes for the nobles in the palace.
Zhu Yijun really has no interest in this twelve-year-old girl. She is just a bean sprout. Zhu Yijun feels that she is not considerate enough. She is indeed not considerate. Her figure has not yet grown up, she is too young, and Zhu Yijun also didn't like Tachibana Chiyo's arrogant and cold temperament, so he first let her experience the suffering of the people and the evil hearts of the people in the Huanxi Bureau.
If the emperor thinks about it in the future, he will remember it. If he cannot remember it, there will be no future.
Zhu Yijun has always been very casual about this kind of thing. For example, the woman surnamed Ran who had already decided to enter the palace and whose body was full of restlessness in the family, Zhu Yijun only made a concubine. Wang Yaozhuo's belly Growing older and bigger, Zhu Yijun was also accompanying Wang Yaozhuo during the free time he finally had.
Zhou Dingzhi The drama of palace battle that Concubine Zhou De imagined had ended before it even started. Your Majesty is really busy. Several concubines have no interest in palace battle. Your Majesty is busy with state affairs. No matter who wins or loses in palace battle. , they all lose, because His Majesty doesn’t like the fire in the backyard to involve his energy.
Xiong Tingbi settled in the Quanchu Guild Hall. His husband would call him to Wenchang Pavilion every day to test his schoolwork. Xiong Tingbi did not dare to slack off and studied very seriously and completed his homework.
Xiong Tingbi was under great pressure. On the one hand, Zhang Juzheng was strict. On the other hand, he really only attended a private school for two years. The study plan Zhang Juzheng made for him was impossible to finish. The Four Books and Five Classics were okay, Conflict said that he could also read, but the arithmetic gave him a headache.
This is a great blessing, and Xiong Tingbi does not dare to slack off.
Actually, there is a misunderstanding here. The better Xiong Tingbi's performance, the higher Zhang Juzheng's requirements. Zhang Juzheng knows that Xiong Tingbi is a genius.
According to what King Lu said, Xiong Tingbi had a talent for reading. After a few days of getting along with each other, Zhang Juzheng discovered that Xiong Tingbi was indeed a talent for reading, and he was also very talented in military affairs! Zhang Juzheng naturally wanted to see where Xiong Tingbi's limit was, so his requirements became more stringent.
A master and half a father.
A few days later, Zhang Juzheng was a little confused, is God so unfair? ! To give a person such an amazing talent for reading, but also to give him a tyrannical force?
Zhang Juzheng sent Xiong Tingbi to the Jiangwu Academy. In the morning, he had to study at home in the Quanchu Guild Hall. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Jiangwu Academy to practice martial arts and take classes. In the evening, he returned to the Quanchu Guild Hall and had to take exams on school homework. Xiong Tingbi immediately became extremely busy, and his life in Prince Lu's mansion was gone forever. Zhang Juzheng set a small goal for Xiong Tingbi, first to become a martial arts scholar, and then to become a literary champion.
It is indeed a small goal. It neither made Xiong Tingbi the general of Ming Dynasty nor made Xiong Tingbi the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion.
On November 24, the seventh year of Wanli, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to the Quanchu Guild Hall to have dinner in a grand manner.
Feng Bao stood in front of the Quanchu Guild Hall and announced loudly: "The emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven, and the edict says:"
"The Han Dynasty has a loyal and good generation, and I will give my husband twelve taels of gold." , one hundred taels of silver, plus five bottles of national cellar, and one hundred pieces of worsted woolen cloth. Mr. Xiong Tingbi will be given an additional ten taels of silver for his meritorious service in teaching and training. This is a common practice."
"I admire this."
The imperial decree's additional silver reward is for Xiong Tingbi. These ten taels of silver are Xiong Tingbi's education funds. As for finding reasons to reward Zhang Juzheng, all the Ming court officials are not surprised. Every month, His Majesty would come up with a reason to have dinner. Sometimes, he wouldn't even find a reason and would just copy last month's imperial edict.
Those who can tell Mr. Yan's fault will die, and the head on Xu Jie's neck will be taken off with one knife. This reward and the holy family are nothing.
"I thank you for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng knew that he couldn't shirk it. He had tried it many times, so he simply thanked him directly.
“I don’t dare to accept rewards without merit.” Xiong Tingbi was a little bit surprised that his Majesty came to enjoy the meal and actually rewarded him extra and gave him such honor.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Xiong Da, you are right, no merit will be rewarded. This is an investment for me. If I become a talent in the future, if I serve the Ming Dynasty, it will be returned to me. Doesn't Xiong Da have the confidence to become a talent?" "
"I thank you for your grace." Xiong Tingbi's face turned red. He must become a man worthy of His Majesty's courtesy.
PUA starts small.
Zhang Juzheng is old and Xiong Tingbi is young, but the two of them stood together, which made Zhu Yijun feel very good. This imperial edict of reward was not made up. The reason for his reward was: The Han Dynasty has a loyal and good generation.
There are indeed loyal and good people, but all good and good people died unjustly, seeking honor and being humiliated.
Zhu Yijun killed Xu Jie with his hands, maybe because he was angry. According to the original historical line, Xu Jie was right. But was liquidated.
Zhu Yijun came to have a meal. Naturally, he brought his own cook. He checked the Quanchu Guild Hall by the way and made sure there were no chili peppers. He was very positive about You Qi's work.
"Your Majesty, this matter of sea investment, I am really..." Zhang Juzheng, who was rarely able to talk about the previous events, was the author of Public and Private Theory. Faced with Wang Guoguang's stick of public interest, Zhang Juzheng pretended to be confused. .
In life, there are many alternatives. Zhang Juzheng is a party leader. He has to run for the interests of the Chu Party. Zhang Juzheng has never been a moral saint. Zhu Yijun knew this from the beginning.
Zhang Juzheng was a corrupt official. He collected money from Qi Jiguang Bingjing and Tanjing for more than twenty years.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said very relaxedly: "No problem, no problem, I will distribute the benefits."
It is better to believe in the book than to have no book at all. The content of the book is of course extremely important. , this is an important part of ideological reform, but it is a corrupt Confucianism to believe in the book.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi cannot be in the Quanchu Guild Hall."
"Why not?" Zhu Yijun was stunned, put down his tea cup and asked doubtfully: "Only for me You know, Xiong Da’s talent should make Mr. Xiong have a love for talents.”
“He is too talented, so he cannot be in the Quanchu Guild Hall.” Zhang Juzheng repeated it, he knew. The emperor only needs to think carefully to understand.
Zhu Yijun immediately understood Zhang Juzheng's concerns and said immediately: "No, he is from Jiangxia, Huguang, and he should be in the Quanchu Guild Hall."
Zhang Juzheng, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his His status and the things he did determined that his political successor could only be the emperor, otherwise he would be a rebellious and traitorous minister.
"Sir, I am already married and in charge." Zhu Yijun stated his reasons very clearly. Zhang Juzheng has returned to the emperor after Ding You. Now Zhang Juzheng can accept a disciple and find an heir to the Chu Party.
Zhu Yijun will protect Zhang Juzheng’s posthumous name. The Ming Dynasty’s New Deal must be adhered to to the end. As the Ming Emperor, he also needs more help to jointly safeguard the results of the New Deal.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.” Zhang Juzheng saw His Majesty’s insistence and chose to thank him.
Sometimes, looking at His Majesty’s actions, Zhang Juzheng will also have unrealistic fantasies, that is, after his death, he can really seek glory and be honored. His Majesty bowed his head to Xu Jie Physics, Xu Jie I have already asked for humiliation and been humiliated. I can really relax a little and think about myself.
Hai Rui said that Zhang Juzheng worked hard at seeking the country, but was poor at seeking a career.
Xiong Tingbi is a tribute and elegy to God for the Ming Dynasty. It is a gift to the Ming Emperor. Why not a gift to Zhang Juzheng? A native of Huguang and Jiangxia, a Zhongliang with extremely high talents and both civil and military skills.
"That's right." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
The time when Zhang Juzheng returned to power in history was February of the eighth year of Wanli. Zhang Juzheng wrote in the "Return to Government and Begging for Rest", requesting that he be an official and return to power on the grounds that high positions cannot be stolen for a long time and power cannot be held for a long time. .
In the memorial, Zhang Juzheng talked about his commoner background, the kindness of Emperor Longqing, and his loyalty to the country. He initially achieved peace at home and abroad. It was time for him to retire after having made a successful career. A initially sound Ming Dynasty was returned to the emperor.
At that time, Zhang Juzheng's examination method had completely completed the blinding of names on the draft list, filling in the names in the base book, and completely restored the power of personnel appointment to the Ministry of Personnel;
Economically, it has completely become the measurement of the country's land, and has initially realized the return of land;
Culturally, private lectures have been banned, a number of clubs have been added, and academic administration has been rectified;
Militarily, The number of elite soldiers in the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty has reached 90,000, and the Spring and Autumn Festival has been inspected.
After reaching this point, Zhang Juzheng decided to bow down and return to power.
It was at this time that the conflict broke out. Emperor Wanli, who was eighteen years old, wanted to let Zhang Juzheng return to power, but Empress Dowager Li only had one sentence: Mr. Fuer will not return until he is thirty years old. for discussion.
At this point, it has become inevitable that Zhang Juzheng will be liquidated after his death.
But now, Empress Dowager Li doesn't ask anything about state affairs, Zhang Juzheng has successfully returned to power in the fifth year of Wanli, and Zhu Yijun has free time to find an apprentice for Zhang Juzheng.
"Some time ago, several cannons were cast in Gewuyuan. The largest 13-pound cannon weighed about 4,400 kilograms and the gun length was one foot and two feet. This cannon, Qi Shuai said, could defend the city. and ships are available." Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng chatted about the products of the Imperial Academy of Art.
The Thirteen-pound Artillery is just one of them. The range of this artillery is about 1,500 steps. If it is dropped, it can hit ten miles away. Coupled with the explosive shells and delayed fuses, it can The power of artillery to tear apart enemy infantry was further enhanced.
The explosive bomb and the delayed fuse are an iron shell stuffed with gunpowder. When it explodes, the iron caltrops inside can be scattered into the enemy formation in fragments. The delayed fuse is a wooden plate with ten pieces on it. The two scales represent the burning time of the fuse. The longest range is twelve miles. The hit rate of this artillery is 1,500 steps away. It all depends on God's mood. But the most useful thing about this kind of artillery is its fire coverage. .
Thirteen-pound artillery was first deployed in Fushun. Li Chengliang took four in total and fired three times. With twelve cannons, he repelled an attack of more than 300 people.
Field artillery is still mainly the nine-pound double-deck cannon and the artillery of side-carriage tanks, which are completely sufficient at the current stage.
“Even in defending the city, we Ming soldiers don’t like to use these heavy artillery, because one shot costs thirteen kilograms, a flat blunderbuss costs four cents of gunpowder, and a bird blunderbuss costs two cents of gunpowder. , one shot of this kind of heavy artillery can fire 520 rounds with a flat gun. In terms of effective damage, the flat gun is more powerful. "Zhu Yijun's military talent is not high, and Zhang Juzheng is not much different from the emperor.
Three hundred bandits were killed with a volley of a thousand cannons, which was enough to kill them all, but with heavy artillery, it took a total of twelve shots.
He invented an amazingly powerful artillery piece, but it was abandoned by the soldiers on the front line. Li Chengliang even bluntly said that the copper and iron of these thirteen kilograms of artillery can be used to make five thousand blunderbuss and two thousand muskets. If Li Chengliang was given the choice of five hundred flat muskets, he would rather not have four 13-pound artillery pieces and choose 20,000 bird muskets.
"Ning Yuanhou and Qi Shuai are obviously right. They like heavy artillery and ships very much." Zhang Juzheng also talked with interest about the application of five-masted ocean crossing ships with heavy artillery. Zhang Yuanxun was in the Strait of Malacca The heavy artillery is used to press down the red hair and explode it.
"This thing is good, but it is too expensive. Being expensive is not its shortcoming, it is mine." Zhu Yijun showed a distressed expression that belongs to a money lover. It is really expensive.
This thirteen-pound cannon is limited by materials. Each one costs more than 3,000 taels of silver, while a nine-pound cannon only costs 328 taels of silver. The cannon is expensive, and so is the gunpowder. .
Even as wealthy as the Ming Emperor, he felt extremely distressed when using these things.
The Imperial Academy has achieved many achievements.
For example, the formula for calculating the impact point of artillery. On the battlefield, there is not so much time for you to think about it, so a calculation card has appeared. You only need to enter a few constants to calculate the approximate impact point of the artillery. This It's the use of functions. Similarly, if you want to be an excellent artilleryman, you will never be able to do it if you don't learn arithmetic well.
In order for the Ming Dynasty artillery to fire artillery well, the soldiers in the Beijing camp had to go to school and were affiliated with the Jiangwu School.
Optical instruments have also developed. Daming had its own myopia glasses and reading glasses. These two lenses became very popular once they were launched. Transparent glass technology developed extremely rapidly due to widespread demand. The Ming Dynasty was able to build a telescope sixty times the size.
"Sir, I have something to do and I have been hesitating for a long time." Zhu Yijun said with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Zhang Juzheng asked doubtfully.
Zhu Yijun briefly expressed his thoughts, and Zhang Juzheng was immediately troubled. His Majesty wanted to restore the ancestral law, which was the social studies that Zhu Yuanzhang engaged in, or universal basic education.
This is the most fundamental way to kill the powerful rightists who control power. It is very good, but the biggest problem is that there is no money.
"Your Majesty, how about we talk about opening up the sea." Zhang Juzheng thought about it again and again and decided to avoid this topic.
The social wealth of the Ming Dynasty was completely insufficient to support the development of social studies. Zhang Juzheng certainly thought about allowing every child in the Ming Dynasty to go to school, but it was just a dream.
"The naval expansion should be from 30,000 to 90,000." Zhang Juzheng chose another way to spend money.
Compared with education, how much does the Navy cost?
Basic education is more expensive than the navy. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
