Every brick on the walls of Nanjing was engraved with the name of the brick-maker.
This was a quality control system created by Hu Weiyong to prevent officials from passing off inferior products as good ones.
Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this.
It's just that whether or not the craftsmen and the kiln factory should be killed is up to me. When will it be your turn to blabber as a general?
"Stop it!"
"We were just watching the performance of the Xuanwu Guards!”
"Sigh!"
"Your Majesty, take your time. I promise not to make a sound!”
Don't look at how Lan Yu usually spoke arrogantly, but when she really met Butcher Zhu, she immediately became docile like a little lamb.
There was no other way. This Butcher Zhu was too imposing. Which proud soldier or valiant general would dare to be cocky in front of him?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang had some opinions about the blue jade and changed the original Duke of Liang to the "cool".
Not only did he give Blue Jade face, but he also gave him a warning.
However, since it was a military exercise, Zhu Yuanzhang still waved at Lan Yu.
"Lan Yu!"
"Come over and tell us, is there any room for improvement in our Big Ming's firearms?”
This was the right person to ask. Lan Yu had led the army for many years and could be said to know all kinds of weapons and equipment like the back of his hand.
Lan Yu ran over to Zhu Yuanzhang and explained to him.
"Your Majesty!"
"The power of our big Ming firearms is enough, but this accuracy…"
"Let me put it this way, our big Ming's musket is tied to an iron frame and fixed. It can continuously fire ten lead bullets, and these ten shots can't hit a target.”
"Just think about how bad the accuracy of our Great Ming Firearms is!”
"Uhh…"
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that it was bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad!
"Then how do you use this thing when you fight?”
Blue Jade explained.
"It depends on the number of people!"
"For example, a thousand soldiers, each with a musket, and when the enemy's warhorses are about to charge over, release them together!”
"Warhorses are big. Even if they can't hit people, they can still hit horses!”
" Moreover, the sound of a firearm is loud, and the threat it poses to the warhorses cannot be underestimated…"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his old face was about to twitch.
My big Ming's muskets are like firecrackers on the battlefield.
Fortunately, Lan Yu's words gave him some comfort.
"Although the accuracy is a little bad, as long as there are enough people, we can always hit some targets.”
"Also, this thing doesn't need much training.”
"You can master it in three to five months. It's a very economical weapon.”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
"That's more like it!"
"Otherwise, after hearing what you said just now, I would have crippled this thing!”
Lan Yu heard that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to cripple his firearms and immediately dissuaded him.
"Your Majesty!"
"You must not do this!"
"Although there are many flaws in Great Ming's firearms, I dare to use my head as a guarantee. In the future, the battlefield will definitely be the world of firearms!”
"If I, Da Ming, fall behind this wave, I will be pressed to the ground and beaten for the next few hundred years!”
"Of course, this subject's words are indeed a little too alarmist.”
"Our Great Ming is now invincible in the world. Back then, the insufferably arrogant Meng Yuan was chased by us to the north of the desert to eat sand.”
"But be prepared for danger in times of peace. Even if the threat to the north of my Great Ming is removed, my Great Ming still has a threat from the sea!”
"As far as I know, the merchant ships of some countries on the sea are already equipped with firearms, and they are even more advanced than our Ming Dynasty's firearms!”
"My Great Ming must increase the improvement of firearms and strive not to lag behind those countries on the sea!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression turned ugly.
He had clearly issued a ban on the sea for many years. Lan Yu kept talking about the sea. Was she really treating our national policy as a joke?
"We'll talk about the matters on the sea later. Let's watch Qin Mu's performance first!”
"Besides, you should be very concerned about this kid, right?”
Zhu Yuanzhang said a meaningful sentence, instantly extinguishing Lan Yu's military fantasies.
"Uhh…"
"This kid is indeed not bad. He looks like an old friend!”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled meaningfully.
"Yes, I am!"
"When I first saw this child, I was really shocked!”
"Fortunately, the heavens have pitied me and allowed me to see this child.”
"This is not only the fortune of my Ming Imperial Family, but also the fortune of your Lan Clan!”
When Lan Yu heard this, her heart skipped a beat, and her face and eyes were filled with shock.
"Your Majesty!"
"You mean…"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.
"Watch the show!"
"We can talk about some things later!"
However, how could Lan Yu have the mood to watch the show?
Butcher Zhu's short words had revealed too much information.
Not only the royal family's luck, but also your Lan family's luck?
Could it be that Butcher Zhu didn't want to kill the donkey after he was done grinding?
You want to keep me, Lan Yu, to protect the eldest grandson of the Zhu family?
When Lan Yu thought of this, she was so excited that her entire body trembled.
If Butcher Zhu really had such intentions, he, Lan Yu, would have to repay their Old Zhu Family's kindness even if he had to shatter his bones!
Just as Lan Yu's mood was complicated, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted at him.
"Blue Jade!"
"What do you think the Xuanwu Guards are doing? Why are they splitting the team into three groups?”
Hearing this, Lan Yu hurriedly composed herself and leaned on the city wall to look down.
The Xuanwu Guards only had a total of 300 people, but they were actually divided into three groups.
The first group was half-squatting on the ground, ready to shoot. The second and third rows were actually standing obediently at the back.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't anyone teach this kid how to line up as a musketeer?”
"He has very few people. There are only a hundred targets in front of him. Can he hit the target like this?”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Lan Yu's complaint, he immediately became angry.
"We didn't send anyone to teach them, but you, the Great General, didn't send anyone over?”
When Lan Yu heard this, she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.
If it wasn't for the fact that I was afraid that Butcher Zhu would be oversensitive, I would have personally taught this child!
However, Old Zhu being able to say these words still made Lan Yu quite happy.
This proved one thing. In the future, he could reasonably and legally go to the Xuanwu Guard to guide his grandson. Hahaha.
Just as Lan Yu and Zhu Yuanzhang were pushing the blame to each other, the Xuanwu Guards on the martial arts practice field fired their first shot.
Just as the soldier was about to report the target, he saw the soldiers who had just fired their first shot retreat in unison.
The soldiers who were originally standing in the second row collectively took a step forward and completed the second round of shooting at the target.
Immediately after, the soldiers who fired the second round retreated. The soldiers in the last row stepped forward and repeated the previous actions.
The sound of three successive rounds of firing stunned all the mighty officials on the city wall, as well as Zhu Yuanzhang, Lan Yu, and the others.
Just when they thought that was the end, the soldiers who had been firing the first round had finished reloading and charged forward again...
The fourth round of handguns, the fifth round of handguns, the sixth round of handguns, the seventh round…
The Mengyuan envoy was prepared to be ridiculed by the crowd, but after seeing the rounds of handguns, he was so shocked that he fell off his chair.
He crawled to the city wall and looked down at the continuous sounds of gunfire as he muttered to himself.
"This is impossible!"
"This is fake!"
"How can their loading speed be so fast!”
"If Great Ming's firearms have such power, then wouldn't it be the end of our grassland cavalry!”
