The firearms chapter in the Military Bei Zhi has pictures and facts. It records the firearms that are currently equipped in batches at various military stations in the Ming Dynasty.
It has the most equipped three-eyed gun, the most powerful semi-automatic rifle: the ten-eyed gun, and it also has many mines. Tens of thousands of enemies can be defeated in a swarm, and it also has the most produced fire gun.
It is said that in real history, Emperor Chongzhen came out of the palace and was followed by two people, Wang Chengen, each with a blunderbuss.
There are also detailed records in the records of the military preparations of the Xuan Mansion during the Hongzhi period.
The main weapons of the Xuanfu garrison include "military weapons" and "artifacts" and equipment.
The weapons are helmets, armor, spears, log cards, long wooden cards, machetes, bags, bows, strings, arrows, bamboo spears, and waist knives.
Divine weapons are also firearms, including divine spears, iron cannons for generals, iron cannons for generals, bronze cannons for generals, bronze cannons for minor generals, divine blunderbuss, divine cannons, flying cannons, copper blunderbuss, iron blunderbuss, flying cannons, and divine weapons. Arrow, iron xuanfeng cannon, tassel cannon, iron three cannon, bowl mouth cannon, small god cannon, iron caltrop.
The weapons include Kowloon Pan Gun, Iron Whip Gun, Rocket Pan Gun, Combo Cannon, Rockets, etc. There are side carriages, mule carriages, Wang carriages, Yuan Rong carriages and drum carriages.
From this we can see that the Ming Dynasty was not bragging about the prosperity of firearms.
"I have never seen a firearm like this before." Zhu Jianshen asked, raising the drawing.
Jiang Yuan raised his head and looked at it, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is only the initial stage. It has not been cast yet. After it is cast, I will let Your Majesty see its power."
"Who painted it?"
"I don't know now." Jiang Yuan continued. When he came here this time, he just got it from Yu Hengsi.
"Jiang Shangshu, you can arrange for someone to produce firearms like this."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Didn't you report some time ago that you would set up an additional shipping company in Tianjin Weizai? How is it going?"
"Your Majesty, the site has been selected and it will be put into use thirteen years ago in Chenghua."
Under Zhu Jianshen's instructions, Longjiang Shipping Company began to add new warships to the Fujian Navy, but the production capacity was obviously not enough.
At first, Zhu Jianshen thought that Zhu Yi would inherit the title of Duke. We also have experience at sea. With the honor of becoming the Duke of the country, we built a new maritime division. Based on the original Fujian Navy and Ningbo Navy, and on the basis of Tianjin Bay in Shandong, we selected multiple seaports to establish the Tianjin Navy,
But now Zhu Yi's life and death are unknown, which makes it difficult for Zhu Jianshen to proceed with this idea.
Zhu Jianshen was also thinking about whether he could find another Duke. Xu Yongning and Xu Yan were both suitable, but they had no idea at all.
Now Xu Yongning has gone to Datong, and Xu Yan is on his way to Yunnan. There is no young and distinguished person on hand to devote his life to the Ming Dynasty's maritime career.
After Jiang Yuan left, Zhu Jianshen thought of Cao Jixiang again.
Cao Jixiang has been busy with things in the fields and has never come back. This also gave Zhu Jianshen the idea of wanting to take a look.
At this time, Cao Jixiang was wearing smart clothes, sitting in the field and looking at the sweet potatoes that had just grown into vines, feeling very proud in his heart.
After Cao Jixiang returned to the Ming Dynasty, apart from hanging around His Majesty the Emperor in the first few days, he began to busy himself with his own affairs.
The corn is not growing well. It has been a month or two since it was planted and there is still no movement. However, Cao Jixiang is quite experienced and does not panic. After investigation and research, he came to a conclusion.
It should be that the temperature and humidity are wrong, preventing these babies from growing. You can just plant them in another season.
The growth of sweet potatoes is very gratifying.
And Cao Jixiang did not return to Beijing, so he moved to Shunyi, completely away from the center of power, taking care of his own crops, and was happy where he was. M.biQuge.biZ
At this time, a servant ran over in a panic.
"Eunuch Cao, the young master is here."
After hearing this, Cao Jixiang said: "Come here as soon as you come. Do you still want me to greet him personally?"
"Father, if you talk like this, you will hurt your son." A short, shrewd young man dressed in rich clothes came over with four or five followers.
Cao Jixiang turned his head and looked at the young man, and said with a smile: "Aren't you in the city? Why did you come to the countryside today?"
This young man is Cao Qin, Cao Jixiang's adopted son.
After the Restoration of Nangong in history, Cao Jixiang rose to prominence and supervised the capital camp. This adopted son also began to hold great power, and then he promoted a rebellion against Zhu Qizhen during the Tianshun period, and finally betrayed his godfather. Gone.
"Dad, the city of Beijing is so lively. Why don't you go back and take a look? Instead, calm down and take care of these crops here. You are looking after His Majesty, not the crops." Although Cao Qin is a His face was smiling, but his words were full of meaning.
Cao Jixiang glanced at Cao Qin, then waved his hand, asking his followers to leave first.
After seeing Cao Jixiang waving his hand, the entourage walked away.
After these people walked away, Cao Jixiang's expression changed: "Don't you understand the simple truth that disaster comes from the mouth?"
It is only natural for me to discipline my son, but Cao Jixiang knew in his heart that he was not his biological father after all. He always took it easy when he scolded him since he was a child. This also caused Cao Qin to not be afraid of Cao Jixiang. The reasons also made Cao Qin develop an arrogant character.
"What trouble comes from your mouth? Dad, you are so careful. This is not Beijing, this is the land." Cao Qin said nonchalantly. After finishing speaking, he looked around, trying to find a place for himself to sit. , but the only chair is still under Cao Jixiang’s butt.
"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship. Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"Dad, as far as my son knows, North Korea has already started fighting. The Ministry of War has been preparing to send food and grass to North Korea. According to my son, this war will not stop for a while. Look, can you In front of His Majesty, I can find a job for my son in North Korea, and when he comes back, he can be a fellow advisor, an admiral or something like that."
After hearing this, Cao Jixiang was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to go to war?"
"Son, you still don't understand. I don't want to fight. I want to gain military glory. With your status, after I arrive in North Korea, I can just wander around the rear."
After Cao Qin finished speaking, Cao Jixiang just sighed heavily and paused for a long time before continuing: "It's not good now. Let the capital enjoy its glory and wealth and go to North Korea to take advantage of the loopholes. Let me tell you, I'm not that big either." It’s very capable, and it’s not easy to exploit the loopholes, otherwise your life will be lost.”
"Dad, from what you say, you really don't want to help me."
"I can't help you."
"Dad, don't forget, you will have to rely on your son when you get old. If you don't push me to a high position, you won't be able to move anymore. I have no power, and the officials of the court won't do what they want. How can we handle us?" Cao Qin said quickly, and then looked at the green fields, and became angry again: "Also, you came back from going to sea for His Majesty, why don't you stay in the palace? Paul is old, he can run around for a few years, if you continue like this, farming here, I see, you will never become a eunuch, the eunuch of the ceremonial officer, alas, the eunuchs who work in the palace , treat them well, they forget quickly, and if there is anything wrong with them, they will always remember it. If someone who has been bullied by you comes to power, we, the two of you, will have different heads and places."
After listening to Cao Qin's long speech, Cao Jixiang stood up and looked at Cao Qin and said word by word: "Don't forget, I am also a eunuch, and don't forget, you are just adopted by me, I gave you wealth, You can take it all back in the blink of an eye, get out..."
Cao Qin was shocked when he saw Cao Jixiang's expression. This was the first time he saw his father like this.
Cao Qin, who had always been in front of Cao Jixiang and was proud of his favor, could not say a word at this time, and could not help but feel terrified in his heart.
"Dad, then, that son will leave first." After Cao Qin finished speaking, he hurriedly retreated.
"Wait a minute, don't you want to stay in the capital? I'll arrange a place for you."
"where?"
"Fujian Navy..."
