My Daming New Empire

Page 683

Everyone looked at Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "This is a lonely idea. This weapon is so powerful that it can kill people at a distance of 400 meters or even a mile away. It is necessary to prevent outsiders from learning it. "

There was a black line on everyone's face, this person called over, aroused everyone's curiosity, and hid the gun again, isn't this molesting people!

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanji being the grandson, everyone would like to beat him up.

Even Zhang Fu couldn't help shaking his head, clasped his fists and asked, "Your Highness, if that's the case, why did you call us all over again today?"

"The British public should not be impatient, there is a reason for being alone."

A guard ran back panting with the targets on his shoulders, and the others planted three targets on the ground for everyone to watch.

On the third target, there are two pits made by deformed bullets on the smooth wooden board.Although it didn't penetrate the target, it was still quite powerful.

Then Zhu Zhanji said again: "You can see that this new musket is very powerful. If it spreads out, it will be difficult to prevent everyone's safety in the future. Therefore, such weapons must not be spread arbitrarily.

However, the emergence of new weapons and the popularity of muskets have brought about a problem. My Ming Dynasty's current tactics can no longer keep up with the development of weapons.

Calling you here today is also a topic I have given you, that is how to march and deploy the formations so that the new weapons can play the greatest role. "

Only then did everyone understand, but they all stared at the gun in Li Liang's arms, feeling itchy.

They are all people who have worked hard on the battlefield for half their lives. When they see such a weapon, if they don't study it thoroughly, how can they hold back!

Zhang Fu nodded and said: "In the time of Jingnan, the two armies are facing each other. The general needs to put his best efforts into arranging troops, using his strengths to avoid weaknesses on the battlefield, and making use of his own advantages. However, since the 12th year of Yongle, firearms have been used on a large scale, especially when His Highness's expedition to Dongying , using skirmish formations, after the three-stage attack, these two formations have become the common formations of our Ming soldiers. However, now that the enemy does not have muskets, our Ming can win every battle. If other countries also have muskets, the current formation Really behind."

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Those tiny countries don't have muskets... Europa!"

Zheng He nodded and said, "I once went to Europe with Your Highness. Although there are many small countries there, and the power of each country is not strong, but because of the continuous fighting with each other, the development of various firearms is not much slower than that of my Ming Dynasty. If it is not for Your Highness The black powder has been improved, the barrel and action of the gun have been improved, the firearms of the firearms battalion formed by Marquis Anyuan back then are no better than those of the opponent."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Now that the emperor is marching west, you stay in Daming, but you can't waste time. This firearm is developing rapidly, and the lives of my soldiers in Ming Dynasty are precious. We should study with great concentration how to give full play to our advantages on the battlefield. I hope you can come up with a better set of formation strategies. There should be different formations in the plains, in the mountains, in the market towns, and on the river beaches.”

Everyone bowed in response, and Zhu Zhanji said again: "Before the return of the emperor, this new gun will be kept secret for the time being, and all the technology will be sealed. When there is a better way to deal with it, it will not be too late to promote the new gun. This is also for For your safety, everyone."

"Your Highness is wise!"

These technologies have been sealed, and Madi is the one who is most disappointed.Zhu Zhanji smiled, ignored him, and returned to the capital with everyone.

On the second day, an imperial decree from Zhu Zhanji was passed to the Ma family at the foot of Fangshan Mountain, which immediately made the Ma family overjoyed.

Zhu Zhanji proposed marriage to Ma Di.

Ma Di is an absolutely different figure in today's Daming.

In the official ranks, he is just a seventh-rank officer, not even the master.

But his sister is Zhu Zhanji's Liangyuan, and he is also a future national uncle.

When Zhu Zhanji ascends the throne, his reward as an earl is indispensable.

In particular, Zhu Zhanji paid much attention to him. By his side, he was protected by two Habayashi guards all year round. This was a treatment that ordinary fourth-rank ministers could not enjoy.

And those who know Ma Di dare not underestimate him, let alone the most advanced hang gliding scouts in the Ming army, who completely rely on the hang gliding workshop controlled by him.

The physics textbooks he sorted out under the arrangement of Zhu Zhanji, and he served as the head of the Gewu Research Institute, can show his importance.

What's more, his uncle Ma Zhicai is now a member of the Ministry of Industry, and his father Ma Zhide is the largest imperial merchant in Ming Dynasty. This kind of family background is not inferior to those noble families.

And his marriage has always affected the hearts of many people. Such a wealthy son-in-law, even in the duke's mansion, is willing to marry his daughter-in-law.

However, when Zhu Zhanji first went to sea, he took over Ma Di's marriage. He originally wanted to marry Jiaxing, but Zhang didn't want to bear the reputation of changing relatives, so he had to give up.

Now that Madi is 20 years old, his marriage cannot be delayed any longer.

Zhu Zhanji gave this task to Sun Xian a few months ago, asking her to choose a virtuous and virtuous cousin from the clan to marry Ma Di.

Sun Xian also lived up to Zhu Zhanji's expectations, and quickly selected a dozen princesses who were of the right age to marry.

And Zhu Zhanji helped Ma Di identify the Princess Kaiping of Zhou Palace just by looking at it.

Zhou Wang is the title of Zhu Xi, Zhu Di's fifth younger brother, and the fiefdom is Kaifeng.He is also the closest brother to Zhu Di, and he has a good family tradition.

Zhu Huan has been studying agriculture and medicine, and stays away from politics. Today, Zhu Youdun, the heir of Zhou Wang, is Zhu Zhanji's spokesperson in the literary world.

Therefore, when he saw Zhu Youdun's daughter, he naturally chose Zhu Youdun's daughter who was closest to him.

Ma's family has a simple population and riches, Ma Di has a pure personality and is obsessed with research. Kaiping married into Ma's family, and he can only enjoy the blessings.

Of course Zhu Youdun knew the importance of Ma Di, had met Ma Di several times, and was extremely satisfied with this marriage.

According to Zhu Zhanji's imperial edict, he returned to Kaifeng by boat regardless of the hottest time of the year, and prepared for his daughter's marriage in person.

The Ma family is also very satisfied with this marriage. King Zhou is well-known because he has successively published basic agricultural textbooks.Zhu Youdun is also one of the few representatives in the clan who can wield real power. The Zhou Palace has a close relationship with the royal family, and this marriage is impeccable.

In order to prepare for Ma Di's marriage, Zhu Zhanji awarded his own set of courtyards in Xiamaqiao to the Ma family. This was originally built for him by the Ministry of Industry in order to curry favor with him when he was building the Xiamaqiao farm. A set of secluded courtyards.

This courtyard not only has a good location, but also a good environment, and every brick and every tree is made by the royal family.

But because Xiama Bridge was too close to the imperial palace, Zhu Zhanji never lived in it once, and it was vacant for several years.

Zhu Zhanji rewarded him with this house, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

Of course, because it is an imperial standard, this courtyard needs to be refurbished if it is awarded to him. For example, the regulations on the gate need to be changed, and the original main hall should be separated separately, so it cannot be awarded to Ma Di.

Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to take a house regulated by the royal family.

Even so, the yard where people live in the back is larger than the average Gonghou family.

Zhu Zhanji's decision made everyone see his preference for the Ma family.

But he didn't even think that because of his love for Madi, many young people became more interested in Gewu.

The second brother was getting married, so Ma Xin was naturally very happy. These days, he personally brought a group of servants and maids, and negotiated with the people of Zhou Palace to decorate the second brother's new home.

Marriage in this era is definitely not the business of the man's family. For example, the man's family prepares a new house, and the woman's family has to build furniture.

The size of the house and the amount of furniture needed to be packed all required communication between the two parties, and Ma Xin's identity was perfect for this task.

(I have been away from relatives in the past two days, and I have a lot of thoughts. This chapter is not written smoothly. Now I owe everyone another update, and I will try to make it up as soon as possible)

Chapter 91 Each has its own picture

The grassland in June presents a beautiful scene, which is another kind of beauty completely different from the cold weather in winter.

Three thousand cavalry galloped in a long dragon on the vast grassland, forming a faint belt of dust and mist under the sky.

This is the best grassland in the world, and also the largest grassland in Mobei, where countless Tatars live and multiply.Herds of horses and sheep can be seen everywhere, grazing leisurely under the protection of serfs.

On both sides of the road, patches of farmland have also been developed, and all the crops here are wheat.Although because of the cold climate, the yield is not high.
