Chapter 600: Specially Treating Phobia of Insufficient Firepower
Sapphire seems to always appear in front of people in an extremely exaggerated way.
Just like many years ago, he was able to besiege the local cities of Ming Dynasty.
The street corner outside the Machinery Factory of the Ministry of Industry in Datong City.
Lan Yu rode a tall horse, wore armor full of glory, and appeared in front of Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Gui and others with his own soldiers.
From a distance, everyone could see the unrestrained smile on Lan Yu's face.
Don't wait for anyone to react.
Lan Yu had already rushed to the crowd on horseback.
In Zhu Yunxi's eyes, Lan Yu was like a majestic black bear, barging into human society.
"Wa hahaha!"
Lan Yu turned over and dismounted, her feet firmly planted on the ground, her lower body motionless, while her upper body opened her arms and swayed continuously, and then she arrived in front of Zhu Yunxi.
He stopped three steps away from Zhu Yunxi.
Lan Yu waved her shirt with one hand, then raised her fists and knelt down on one knee.
"Your Majesty, Duke Liang, military training officer of Datong City, Lan Yu."
"Meet His Royal Highness the Emperor."
In full view of everyone on the street, no one could find fault with Lan Yu's etiquette.
Zhu Yunxi lowered his head and glanced at Lan Yu who was kneeling in front of him.
He laughed slowly, bent down and reached out to help Lan Yu up.
"Uncle and grandpa, there is no need for such red tape. We are all in the military now, so we should keep everything simple."
Lan Yu stood up with a smile, showed his smiling face to everyone, and hummed in front of Zhu Yunxi: "The etiquette cannot be discarded."
After saying this, Lan Yu respectfully bowed her hands to Zhu Gui, Gao Yangzhi and others.
After doing all this, Lan Yu silently packed herself up and stood aside silently.
Zhu Gui looked at the expressions of several people and said with a smile: "Uncle, you are not training the army lieutenants outside Dongcheng today?"
Lan Yu waved her hand: "My sons and daughters have all practiced and mastered it. It is also okay for my deputy general to take charge of daily life outside the city."
Zhu Gui smiled and stopped talking.
Gao Yangzhi suggested from the side: "Your Highness, the Machinery Manufacturing Institute of the Ministry of Industry is just ahead."
Before Zhu Yunxi could speak, Lan Yu had already clapped her hands and said, "Your Highness, you must take a good look at the weaponry. There are a lot of good things produced by the people from the Ministry of Industry. I can't wait now.
It will open the eyes of the wolf cubs to be able to lead the young men in the army to live outside the customs."
"Well, let's go take a look."
Zhu Yunxi said lightly.
He can be said to have the clearest understanding of what the Ministry of Industry is currently doing in the entire imperial court.
Thanks to the fact that Ergong Zhang has started to take charge of the affairs of the work department, everything can move forward according to the most perfect path.
Turn around.
A group of people, led by Zhu Gui, arrived at the Ministry of Industry's machine-making factory in Datong City.
When we got closer, we could see clearly how tall and thick the chimneys that stood upright in this machine building were, spewing thick smoke all day and night.
Thick black smoke is constantly eroding the white sky.
It's just that at this time, no one said that they didn't care about the development of society and opposed everything that was happening with various selfish motives.
The sky is gray.
However, the human heart is pure.
As the royal prince guarding Datong City, Zhu Gui naturally took over the task of introducing the Ministry of Industry's Machinery Manufacturing Institute to everyone.
"The machinery manufacturing facility has been expanded several times in the past two years."
"At present, everything from the swords, guns, bows and arrows required for the army and horses in Datong to horse-drawn artillery, fire muskets, etc. are all produced here."
As he spoke, Zhu Gui raised his hand and pointed to several clearly differentiated internal workshops of the machine factory.
The area at the front can be seen as the earliest area of the weapons-making institute, which is now used to make swords, guns and arrows for the army.
Further back is an area for forging armor.
The steam engine drives the machine and builds the strongest armor in the world. Huge roars and thick smoke fill the surrounding area.
Once you get to a large area deep inside, you can see obvious differences.
There are soldiers guarding the entrances of various passages.
People coming in and out are all dressed in the same uniform, so they are different from those in front.
Even people who have just come out will have to be inspected again if they want to go in again.
After confirmation, it will be released again.
Zhu Gui smiled and opened his arms in front of a soldier.
The soldiers did not care at all that Zhu Guinai was the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the prince of the vassal state of Datong.
Instead, he treated Zhu Gui like the ordinary craftsmen who entered the building behind and needed to be searched, and began to groping for him.
Zhu Gui also took it for granted.
He even turned around with a smile, looked at Zhu Yunxi and others, and explained: "There are all firearms in here, and what I'm most afraid of is the tiny sparks. Back then, someone didn't follow the rules of the Ministry of Works, and ten people were killed or injured.
It took a few people to enforce the rules."
Zhu Yunxi just smiled.
In the firearms manufacturing area, he did not follow the rules and only killed and injured more than ten people. This is considered a blessing among misfortunes.
After Zhu Gui was inspected, Zhu Yunxi took the lead and walked to the soldier responsible for inspecting people entering and exiting, and opened his arms as naturally as Zhu Gui.
After half a ring.
Everyone finally completed the inspection and walked into the firearms manufacturing area of the Ministry of Industry's Machinery Manufacturing Institute.
Entering this area, everyone can smell a strong smell of gunpowder.
The fine dust in the air can darken a person's face in just a moment.
"According to the officials stationed here from the Ministry of Industry, the firearms made here are the most sophisticated craftsmanship in this dynasty today."
"But right now, the cannon is the most tempting."
As Zhu Gui spoke, he led everyone to push open the door of an extremely quiet warehouse.
In the dark warehouse, the air seemed to have solidified.
Looking inside from the outside, it can be said to be airtight, with not a trace of light visible.
However, the moment the warehouse door was pushed open by Zhu Gui, there was a smell of grease that must have been accumulated for a long time and had nowhere to vent.
Zhu Gui waved his hand: "Open the surrounding high openings."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Following his order, the craftsmen here began to hold tall poles with grappling hooks on the top and walked toward the two warehouses.
side.
The grappling hook at the top of the pole reaches up to the high wall.
As the openings that were much higher than the ordinary windows were opened, there was finally some light in the warehouse, and the smell of grease that came out of it was much lighter.
As more windows are opened.
Even standing outside, you can clearly see what's inside the warehouse.
"The warehouse here is ten feet wide and thirty-three feet deep. Only artillery and ammunition are stored inside."
Zhu Gui had already walked sideways into the warehouse.
Zhu Yunxi and others followed closely behind.
Everyone who walks into this warehouse for the first time will be deeply shocked when they see the scene in front of them.
The warehouse door extends all the way to the innermost part, which is an empty main road.
On both sides, there are new Ming Dynasty artillery pieces that are pitch black and mounted on gun mounts with their muzzles slightly raised.
There are four rows extending from the door to the innermost part.
Surrounding the artillery is a huge three-story wooden frame on the opponent's side, which contains powerful artillery shells.
It's obviously not the first time Lan Yu has walked in here.
However, every time he stood here again, he would be deeply shocked by the scene in front of him.
"The warehouse here stores a total of two hundred new artillery pieces and ten thousand rounds of artillery shells. They are all made with the latest technology of the Ministry of Industry. Once put on the battlefield, they will be invincible!"
Lan Yu had been fighting on the battlefield all his life, but he could never imagine how much he would change the way he viewed war when these artillery pieces were pulled onto the battlefield.
And in his mouth, there were only endless sighs at this moment.
Zhu Gui spoke softly from the side: "There are two more warehouses like this in the weapons factory. In Datong City, for safety reasons, there are three more warehouses scattered throughout the city."
"A total of 1,200 new artillery pieces?"
A huge number came out of the mouth of the young Governor Wang Xinling.
He widened his eyes and tried hard to construct in his mind what it would be like when these 1,200 artillery pieces were set up on the battlefield at once.
"A total of 60,000 artillery shells, this time we will definitely feed the wolves outside the pass."
Lan Yu's face showed a murderous look.
The desire to fight is clearly revealed.
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Gao Yangzhi beside him.
He knew roughly what the Ministry of Works had been doing in the past two years, but he did not expect that the Ministry of Works had accumulated so many artillery pieces here.
There was a trace of hesitation on Gao Yangzhi's face.
Then he approached Zhu Yunxi and said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Industry feels that the border is too long. If machine manufacturing plants are set up everywhere, it will inevitably distract the energy of the Ministry of Industry, so we concentrated on building it in Datong City."
Already.
As for why we were able to save so many possessions in such a short period of time..."
Gao Yangzhi still hesitated, as if he was a little embarrassed to say what he was going to say next.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said softly: "In addition to the Ministry of Industry improving the production process, are there other methods used?"
Gao Yangzhi nodded slightly: "It's nothing more than recruiting more people to forge artillery together..."
What he said was still extremely reserved.
Zhu Yunxi already understood.
This is probably due to the Japanese workers who had completely disappeared from the Ming Dynasty after the Shanxi Dao Rebellion.
As long as there is a sufficient supply of raw materials, improved processes, and manpower that does not need to be considered, there is nothing that is impossible to achieve with absolute control.
After destroying the country, it is not easy to openly talk about the matter of destroying the clan again.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the artillery that kept sliding from his side to behind him, and said with a smile: "They are all three- to four-hundred-pound new general cannons. The court now has money and food, so things will naturally go smoothly."
Everyone present understood this.
They didn't mention a word about how these 1,200 cannons came about, but they all praised the empire for its prosperity.
Out of the warehouse.
Zhu Yunxi looked around at the officials accompanying him during the Northern Patrol.
“When sending troops outside the pass to conquer the Tatar tribe, the imperial court simply sent troops from two directions.
One is Datong, and the other is Xuanfu.
According to Ming Dynasty's goal this time, we must send troops to both sides at the same time.
Half of the artillery here will be sent to the Xuan Mansion and handed over to His Highness King Yan."
At this end, several accompanying officials responsible for transporting military supplies immediately bowed and clasped their fists to accept the order.
Wherever Taisun is, everything will be decided by Taisun.
This rule has long been established.
From the moment Zhu Yunxi entered Datong City, there was only one voice and one order in the city.
When people began to go about their own business, they continued to be busy coordinating all parties for the Ming Dynasty's nationwide expedition to the north.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Duke Liang who had been following him with a faint look in his eyes.
He looked at Zhu Gui and said, "Uncle."
"Hey, the old minister is here."
Lan Yu immediately responded with a smile on her face.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at the Duke Liang of the Ming Dynasty who had been a soldier all his life but was extremely respectful at this moment: "I went to Ximawu Mountain in Datong City today and hunted some good things. I wonder if my uncle and grandpa are free to have a drink with my nephew.
?”
Lan Yu didn't know what was going on at this moment, but she immediately agreed happily: "Thank you, Your Highness, for the wine!"
Few and.
In the Prince Dai's Mansion.
A banquet has already been set up in the side hall.
Songs and dances with a strong Northland style have also been performed.
After all, this is the residence of the Ming Dynasty prince, so there are still these things that should be there.
At the banquet, everyone sat separately.
There were only a few ordinary dishes on the table, and wine was also a specialty of the North.
Lan Yu couldn't help but wonder what the good thing the nephew in front of her was talking about.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu's confused expression, glanced outside, and smiled slightly: "I've kept you waiting for a long time, and it's here now."
As soon as Zhu Yunxi finished speaking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then I saw two people outside, already carrying two large trays.
The dishes on the tray are still steaming hot and exuding an alluring aroma.
However, Lan Yu only glanced at it, but her expression changed drastically.
When he looked back from the front and looked at Zhu Yunxi who was sitting above him without changing his expression, his old face was already full of embarrassment.
"General, this is the game that His Highness Taisun hunted specially for you on Mawu Mountain."
Two of Lan Yu's soldiers, who turned into waiters on behalf of the prince's palace, put the game on the tray on the table with their faces flushed. They lowered their heads and introduced to Lan Yu in a buzzing voice.
Zhu Yunxi smiled at this time and said: "My uncle is laughing. Speaking of which, these two men hunted this game. This time, I want to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha."
Lan Yu smiled awkwardly, feeling like she had been caught inexplicably.
Zhu Yunxi added: "I heard that these two people under my uncle's command went to Mawu Mountain to hunt, and they came to Datong this time just to be alone? I wonder what matters my uncle has to do alone?"
Stronger than blue jade.
At this time, I finally couldn't sit still anymore.
He stood up suddenly and looked straight at Zhu Yunxi who was smiling.
After thinking about it, Lan Yu felt that it still wouldn't work.
Then he shook his arms fiercely, waved his robe, and got down on one knee again in front of everyone.
"Since His Highness has said so, I have nothing to hide."
"I have been fighting for the Ming Dynasty all my life. I have killed more thieves than I have eaten."
"I don't have much ability. I only know how to lead troops and kill the enemy. I know that the Ming Dynasty is different now, and I also know that I can't help the one next to Your Highness."
"But I have only one request, even if I have to shed blood for it, I will not hesitate!"
