When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qin Mu's guarantee, he only smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
He didn't believe Qin Mu at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang joined the army in his twenties and had experienced hundreds of battle formations, big and small. How could he not know how troublesome it was to train firearms?
This thing was simple when compared to traditional archers.
After all, without three to five years, it was impossible to train a qualified archer.
The difficulty of operating a handgun was much lower than that of a bow and arrow.
This was also the reason why Da Ming was equipped with so many firearms.
Because facing Meng Yuan's long-range bow, Da Ming didn't have enough archers, so he could only use tricks and use firearms that weren't technically mature.
The reason why the handgun technology was not mature was mainly because the firing speed was slow, it was easy to get wet, and it was difficult to ignite it in a windy day.
But even so, compared to the difficulty of archer training, Da Ming still chose the handgun path.
"Alright, alright!"
"It's good that our eldest grandson has this ambition!”
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe that the Xuanwu Guards could operate the handgun skillfully, he still wasn't willing to embarrass Qin Mu.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate a few mouthfuls of meat and drank a large mouthful of rice wine. Then, he put on a stern face and lectured.
"Eldest Sun!"
"Don't you know that we are not allowed to drink in the Great Ming Army?”
Qin Mu chuckled.
"Grandpa Huang, this is not considered wine. This can only be called a slightly sweet sugar water.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Qin Mu actually dared to quibble in front of him, he was momentarily at a loss for what to do with the frisky monkey.
"Be careful next time!"
"You're not allowed to drink in the army. If you're caught by the military judge, that's a serious crime!”
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang who had a stern face, Qin Mu was a little afraid and could only stick out his tongue awkwardly.
Zhu Yuanzhang ate half of the food and left with the can.
Before he left, he didn't forget to ask Xiao Hu to carry the half jar of rice wine that he had drunk, saying that he couldn't waste it.
Qin Mu and Er Hu made faces at Zhu Yuanzhang's double standards. They then looked at each other and laughed.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard their laughter and didn't turn around. However, a smile appeared on his face.
The last few times I chatted with this kid, I was scared out of my wits.
What was this child thinking about all day?
Why did he think more deeply and further than the officials in the court about the state's policies?
Now that he saw Qin Mu's mischievous side, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very gratified.
At this age, she should be talking and laughing. This was what a child should be like.
Otherwise, he would have suspected that this guy was the reincarnation of a monster!
Zhu Yuanzhang sneaked away. His whereabouts were very concealed and he avoided almost everyone.
Only Blue Jade, the insider, had been secretly watching him from the city wall. She knew where he went and what he did.
Lan Yu hid behind the battlements of the city wall and clenched her fists tightly. She felt happy for Qin Mu from the bottom of her heart.
Butcher Zhu didn't forget to visit Qin Mu despite his busy schedule. This was enough to prove that Qin Mu already had a place in Butcher Zhu's heart!
This was a very good start!
Lan Yu hid behind the battlements and secretly looked at Qin Mu's figure. She secretly swore to her deceased sister and brother-in-law.
As long as Butcher Zhu was willing to admit that this child was Zhu Biao's bloodline, even if he, Lan Yu, had to risk his old life, he would help this child ascend to the throne of the Ming Emperor!
No one could stop him!
Even if Butcher Zhu wanted to appoint someone else as his grand grandson or crown prince, he, Lan Yu, would not agree!
After
a short break, the Daming Military Drill officially entered the practical part.
Similar to the morning, it was still the 48 guards of the capital who took the lead to show off their cavalry's charge and killing tactics.
Of course, he couldn't really cut it, but he cut it on the straw figurine that he had tied beforehand.
However, even though it was a straw doll, it was still shattered by the sight of it. Its aura was shocking.
The warhorses galloped back and forth in the field, shaking the city walls and giving people a huge impact.
After the cavalry practice, it was the infantry combat that Da Ming was best at.
Rows of spearmen shouted military chants as they stepped forward, stopping one step at a time.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Three consecutive roars shook the envoys.
Great Ming's cavalry was indeed powerful, but to the grassland people, Great Ming's spearmen were the biggest headache.
Every time they charged into the spearmen formation, they would cause heavy losses to their cavalry.
However, you still had to rush forward.
If you don't charge, these infantrymen will slowly push their way to your farm.
If they were to shoot long-range arrows, soldiers with huge shields would emerge from behind the spearmen and protect them.
When the cavalrymen charged over, spears pierced out from the shields.
Even if they sacrificed themselves to break a few of Ming's infantry formations.
But to Da Ming, this bit of loss was nothing. They could completely afford it.
Because there were many people in Great Ming, the training of spearmen did not take much time.
However, to the people of the grasslands, every single one of them who rode horses and shot arrows was extremely precious.
They couldn't afford to waste time!
After the pikemen, it was the special military unit of the Ming Dynasty, the Firearms Battalion.
Seeing the firearms camp, Hao Dayu heaved a sigh of relief.
The Prairies people were the least afraid of the firearms battalion.
Whether it was the Ming army's cannons or the Ming army's handguns, they were unable to display their true advantage on the grasslands.
Cannons were most suitable for attacking cities, but there were no cities on the grasslands for you to attack.
As for using cannons to attack the cavalry...
Haohai Dayu said that as long as the warriors of the grassland could survive the first two rounds and rush to the artillery position, they would be able to slaughter the Ming army like cutting melons and vegetables.
As for firearms…
Haohai Dayu sincerely hoped that the Great Ming army would be equipped with more. This kind of useless equipment, hahaha!
Seeing the musketeers finish loading their ammunition and start shooting at the targets, Haohai Dayu stood up from his chair.
"Yo!"
"The famous Firearms Battalion has made their move. Let's take a good look and see how many people can hit the target today, hahaha!”
This was why Haohai Dayu liked the firearms camp.
Not only was this thing slow, but its accuracy was also poor.
The Prairies people would only be considered heroes if they hit the bullseye.
However, for a musketeer of Da Ming, as long as he didn't miss the target, he could be considered outstanding!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his face turned ashen.
He also knew that muskets had various flaws, but Da Ming did not have the conditions to train enough archers, so he could only think of ways to equip this kind of musket!
The firearms of the Firearms Battalion fired in unison, but the target on the opposite side only had a few holes.
This result was actually not bad, but Haohai Dayu had just mocked the Firearms Battalion, so the officials of the Ming Dynasty had no place to put their faces.
Haohai Dayu leaned on the city wall and smacked his lips.
"Tsk tsk!"
"Not bad, a third of them hit the target. It seems that your firearms are getting more and more advanced, hahaha!”
When the officials of Great Ming heard this, they all wanted to pounce on this guy and tear him apart.
However, when the two countries were at war, they still had to kill the messenger.
At this time, the two countries were signing a contract. If they rashly killed this guy, it would definitely cause the other vassal states to be alienated from the Ming Dynasty.
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was gloomy and he wanted to end this embarrassing military exercise as soon as possible, a messenger carrying a small flag rushed over.
"Your Majesty!"
"Xuanwu Guard Commander Qin Mu requests to fight!”
"He said that he wanted to let the various countries 'envoys experience the true power of our Great Ming's firearms!”
