I am the king of the dead

Due to lack of training, the Ming army used to shoot 11 people before shooting the magic machine gun, 11 people in the middle turned their guns, and the last 11 people loaded the gun.

Fire one shot every other person, six shots and five shots first, to prepare for the enemy's advance and retreat.

Those who fire in the front row will turn their empty guns to the middle row, the middle row will turn their full guns to the front row, and the middle row will turn their empty guns to the rear row.

That's because during training, only some people are specially trained to shoot guns, some people are specially responsible for adding drugs, and those with the worst training are responsible for switching guns in the middle.

But this time, the shooting of the Xinshenji Battalion has become a full formation shooting, with the front formation lying on the ground, the middle formation squatting halfway, and the rear troops standing in line to shoot the usual formation.

Compared with the battle of Qingfengdian, whether it is filling speed or accuracy, this time's display has made great progress. If they face the Oirats again, they will not be so embarrassed.

Qingfengdian occupies a favorable terrain, and was rushed by the Oirats. The power of Daming's firecrackers was not displayed at all.

But today's big reading, after another two months of training, finally became in style.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help nodding. The number of Shenji Battalion is not large, less than 3000 people, but with only these 3000 people, their ability to injure and kill on the battlefield must not be underestimated.

Then the Tiqi rode across the battlefield in flying fish suits, and they took out the fire dragon guns on their backs, which were a kind of horse fire gun specially designed for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course it's not the fire unicorn in the dream of [-] million mice. This thing consists of six cardboard tubes, which are tightly bound together in the center.

The barrels are filled with explosives, and the bottom is tightly plugged with wooden horses. Each barrel is filled with several arrows, which are cut five inches long with old bamboo, like crossbow arrows, and then ignited and fired.

It's a bit similar to the taste of multiple arrows, but the power of this thing is a failure on the way to explore the Great Firearms, and it looks very much like a fraudulent subsidy.

Because the fire dragon gun is too long, it is a one-time product on the battlefield. It uses bamboo crossbow arrows, but its range and power are not good enough.

But during the parade, just like setting off fireworks, the swishing momentum is quite spectacular, and the Tiqis fire dragon guns, all for the effect of the show and to enhance the atmosphere.

After all, when all the arrows of this thing are fired, it is really lively, with excellent sound and light effects.

Tiqi, as a military instrument, also acts as the effect of the atmosphere group during the grand parade.

But as the smoke and dust fell, the Tiqi Handgun team, which appeared next, was no longer joking.

The pistol in the rider's hand is a flintlock.

It's a pity for Zhu Qiyu that the Ming Steel strategy still can only arm Jinyiwei Tiqi until now, which has wiped out all the steel stocks.

The reload speed and shooting accuracy are jaw-dropping.

Zhu Qiyu nodded quite satisfied. Tiqi's cavalry and pistol combat are quite mature, and it is more than enough for a pistol team.

Then came the Annan gun phalanx. The Annan gun is a kind of carrying gun that needs to be used by two people. It is also called a long gun, or a side gun, which is suitable for use in city battles.

The Annan gun was invented by Zhang Fu on the road to pacify Annan. The Annan gun is comparable to Annan, because the barrel of the gun is longer, and the screaming sound after the lead bullet is fired is quite ear-piercing.

However, during the demonstration of the Annan gun, something happened.

The Annan gun is a typical fire door gun. The fire door is ignited to ignite the powder, and the powder ignites the propellant in the powder chamber to fire.

However, during the firing process, due to the headwind, the primer blew into the eyes of the sergeant who was aiming.

Zhu Qiyu is the master who has personally been on the battlefield. When the headwind blows, he immediately stopped the drill and asked the army's medical staff to fetch clean water for the soldiers to wash their eyes.

Although Dayue was temporarily suspended due to the wind, Daming's army soon began to continue the drill.

The swarm continued to appear, the large shotgun, a firearm developed from the earliest bowl-mouth gun of the Ming Dynasty, and a sharp weapon for close combat defense.

The fire dragon car, based on the fierce fire oil tank in the Song Dynasty, is a kind of flame-injecting car with two pairs of road wheels, but this thing is indeed a bit scary to use.

The fire dragon bursts, can spray five or six steps as far, and is an artifact of close combat.

When the sun rose in mid-air, the drill finally ended. Although there was a little accident during the drill of Annan's gun, it was completed very smoothly.

The army carried the dental flag and stood in place, waiting for the review of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu had already changed into his regular clothes and got on his horse.

He rode a white horse, not a war horse. His war horse was indeed ugly, a little short, and good at fighting, but most of the ceremonies were white horses.

He passed everyone in the 20 army of the Beijing camp.

"They are all good sons of Daming." Zhu Qiyu said sincerely.

As the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, he was very satisfied with Daming's grand parade, but he was still quite regretful.

Today is not what it used to be, and the big reading in the past is much more majestic than this.

Chapter 124 Breaking ground on Zhu Di's head

Zhu Qiyu is very sorry, he regrets that the great Ming Dynasty is not here, and today's Dayue is far from what it was before.

In the 19th year of Yongle, Zhu Di organized a very large-scale spring parade.

The Siyi Pavilion organized more than 27 missions from 600 countries to conduct a super-standard spring parade code-named "Hunting".

Zhu Di dispatched three major battalions of fine cavalry to take the 600-member mission from Jiayuguan, visited the nine-town frontier army of the Ming Dynasty along the way, and then took a boat to Zhejiang to go ashore.

In Zhejiang, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, humanistic "sightseeing tours" were carried out to promote the long history of Chinese culture and at the same time demonstrate the richness of the Ming Dynasty.

Then in the second year, a mission of 600 people came to Huailai, and the hunting officially began.

A total of [-] elites participated in that Beijing camp, which lasted for more than a month, to publicize the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Gaisuyeddin, deputy envoy of the Timur Empire, once said frankly in his memoirs: "I have to admit that it was a lucky thing for Emperor Timur to die on the way to the Eastern Expedition, which allowed him to preserve his life. illustrious name."

Tamerlane was the little overlord of Central Asia. He established the Timur Empire (near today's Afghanistan). He was once known as a million-strong army. He wanted to fight against the Ming Dynasty and restore the Yuan Dynasty.

As a result, not long after the Eastern Expedition, Timur died on the road.

For Zhu Qiyu's spring parade, the number of participants seemed to be 22, but in fact, less than 2 people participated in the actual rehearsal.

The scale is much smaller than "hunting", and the purpose is only to appease the capital, not to promote national prestige.

In terms of conception, it is also inferior to Emperor Taizong Wen.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, he had a long way to go.

He held his breath, with a fierce look in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, there will be a day when the situation will reverse!"

"We will let the Oirats use their people, their blood, and their land! Blood for blood!"

"Da Ming, the world is invincible!"

Why did Zhu Qiyu organize this grand parade with such great fanfare? His purpose is naturally that the Beijing camp is on the alert. Once the Wala people show their flaws, they will drive a long car, break the Wala people, and chase them to the ends of the world without stopping!

Only one of Daming and Wala can survive.

If he, the emperor, didn't have the energy, then the courtiers would slack off, and the Ming army would slack off.

In the civil war, the innocent souls who died will never rest in peace.

It was night, and Zhu Qiyu returned to Prince Tan's Mansion, still thinking about the Beijing camp.

First of all, the Huomen guns should be replaced with flintlock hand guns, or the old guns should be improved.

Otherwise, the problem of being blinded by gunpowder in the war cannot be solved, so what are you talking about driving long chariots, fighting thousands of miles, and destroying the captives in the west?

But now Zhu Qiyu is short of steel, especially the demand for the elasticity of the reed is huge. The Wang Gong Factory and the Bingzhan Bureau have used up all the steel materials suitable for arming the Tiqi.

Expanding production is imperative.

To expand the production of steel materials, it is necessary to expand the charcoal plant, and to expand the charcoal plant, it is necessary to use Xishan Coal Mountain.

Xishan, Xishan was the place Zhu Di personally selected as the emperor's mausoleum.

Later, it was gradually discovered that Meishan, with millions of capitals, used countless coals for charcoal.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are the first words. In this matter of the Xishan coalfield, coal kilns gradually increased.

Even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate prohibits restraint, and the Jinyi guards patrol, it is strictly forbidden to dig coal on Zhu Di's head privately, which is a felony that cannot be pardoned.

But it is still a common practice, with countless kilns and huge profits.

Cheng Jing, the internal official supervisor, went to have a look. There were only one or two official kilns in the entire Xishan Coal Kiln, but the entire Xishan was covered with private kilns.

Zhu Qiyu expected that Xishan Coal Mountain had already been occupied by powerful officials inside and outside.

Zhu Qiyu concluded that Xishan Meishan was occupied by powerful families of internal and external officials, which is consistent with Lu Zhong's investigation.

Lu Zhong's subordinates have been visiting the Xishan Coal Kiln. Although they haven't checked out exactly whose kiln it is, Lu Zhong has already touched a lot of clues.

If Jinyiwei doesn't conduct interviews, is it still Jinyiwei?

First of all, to build a kiln, first of all, you need to pay the cost. You need to find a Lifu mason, cut it into a well, and dig out the water for dozens of days.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a precept from the ancestors: chiseling mountains and cutting rocks is forbidden.

It can be seen that opening coal mines makes money.

The plan was so generous that even the powerful family of Xun Qi broke ground and opened a kiln on Zhu Di's head, regardless of the constraints of the emperor's ancestral precepts!

Ma Sheng once said: Once there is an appropriate profit, capital will be bold, and if there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere;

If there is a 20% profit, it will be active; if there is a 50% profit, it will take risks;

For 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws;

With 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime and even risk the gallows.

Obviously, in order to make money, some people have gone crazy. Even if they are caught to beheaded, they still have to set up kilns and mine coal secretly.

How profitable is this thing?

Zhu Qizhen, the Great Ming God of War Zhu Mingmen, once ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu to set up a coal mine in Lugou River East in April of the 12th year of Zhengtong, but was later caught by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately began to impeach the British Duke Zhang Fu, who disregarded the instructions of the emperor's ancestors and chiseled mountains and cut rocks, asking for punishment.

When Zhu Mingmen saw that the matter was exposed, he immediately reprimanded Zhang Fu and ordered him to shut down.

Even the emperor had to end up setting up coal mines.

Why did Zhu Qiyu know such a secret thing?

Guo Jing left behind an account book, in which Guo Jing's money from smuggling Gang Yu flowed into Zhu Mingmen's pocket, and Zhang Fu's account was also recorded in it.

Zhu Mingmen always has a hand in cheating his own people.

Zhang Fu was a soldier all his life, fighting in the south and in the north. Although his family wealth was not rich, he had always received constant rewards. Moreover, since Zhang Fu became a duke, the British government has strict family education.

Until the last generation of British princes died in battle for Emperor Chongzhen, the British government never relied on its honorable name to commit crimes and never let Daming down.

Except for this matter.

If Zhu Di hadn't called the door to break ground on Zhu Di's head, how could Zhang Fu have ruined his reputation throughout his life?

In the end, Zhu Mingmen killed the general who fought for the Ming Dynasty all his life in the civil castle, and he couldn't even find his body.

Zhu Qiyu asked in a daze: "Xing'an, have the missions of Yue Qian and Ji Duo arrived in Oala? Is there any news?"

"En." Xing'an lit up the candlestick, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, Wala seems to be a little hesitant, and Yue Qian has never been allowed to see the Supreme Emperor."

Zhu Qiyu has been looking forward to the good news of Zhu Jiaomen's death.

"Your Majesty frowned, but because of the Xishan coal mine?" Xing'an asked after hesitating for a moment.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Yes, you are so bold! If you dare to break ground on the head of Emperor Taizong Wen, you are not afraid that Emperor Taizong Wen will have a dream at night and kill them."

Xing'an showed a smile and said: "The minister will do it. Lu Zhong is visiting everywhere. The kiln people are suffering. In fact, they don't know who they are working for. Brokers and compradors are rampant."

"But the minister knows."

"You know?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and became interested.

Xing'an felt that he was unqualified as a big peng, and His Majesty was the Son of Heaven, so he was troubled by these trivial matters all day long, and that was not something His Majesty should think about.

What His Majesty should consider is how to kill all the Oirats, how to revive the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, how to make the Ming Dynasty prosper forever, and how to have more children.

These nonsense things make His Majesty frown, it is the dereliction of duty of these courtiers.

He bowed his head and said: "I know a thing or two, let me handle it, and I will let your Majesty handle this matter before the Shangyuan Festival."

Xing'an wasn't talking big, he continued: "Your Majesty doesn't know anything about the fact that I control Yanxing Building. Other ministers in the capital don't dare to say it, but this Yanxing Building is the most well-informed."

Zhu Qiyu immediately understood that Xing'an should generally have some conclusive news, but it was news, not evidence.

He said to Xing'an very definitely: "Xing'an, only the country is the ship that leaks from the top."

This is a sentence he remembered when he was watching British dramas, but it has come true for Daming.

Even in accordance with the simplest clan etiquette, it is a crime of disrespect to go to the emperor's mausoleum to break ground and open a kiln.

But they not only open, but also make money unscrupulously.

Otherwise, the courtiers like Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Qizhen makes them make money, and makes money himself.
