In the end.
In order to save his son's face, Zhu Yuanzhang put down the soles of his shoes.
"Calm down, calm down. It was just a joke. Dad, why can't you stop teasing me?”
Zhu Xiong patted his back and pinched his nose, speaking in embarrassment.
"Humph!"
"Who asked you to be so rude!”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and turned his head, looking very proud.
Actually, he wasn't really angry. He just felt that he couldn't keep his face!
"Alright, Dad, I'll give you a present. Don't be angry!”
Zhu Rong took out a mini flintlock gun from his pocket. It was about 30 centimeters long and was equivalent to a small pistol in the future.
"This is also a flintlock?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took the mini flintlock from Zhu Rong and played with it lovingly.
Men!
Who doesn't like to play with guns?
"Yes, this is a miniature flintlock.”
"With the shortened chamber, the power is much smaller. The range is only about seventy to eighty meters.”
"But it's enough for self-defense!”
Zhu Rong introduced the miniature flintlock to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Not bad, I like this thing very much.”
"I'll let you off this time!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked left and right with a happy smile on his face. Where was the slightest bit of anger?
After the inspection, Zhu Yuanzhang left happily with the mini flintlock.
He probably went to show off to his old brothers.
Zhu Rong knew his father too well!
......
Spring passed and autumn came. Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed, and nothing major had happened during this period.
Zhang Shicheng had no ambition and was content with his own affairs.
There was an intense power struggle going on in the Yuan Court and there was no time for the Southern Expedition. This allowed the Wu Army to develop very well.
A year passed.
Zhu Xiong led the Armament Division of the Ministry of Works to produce a total of seven thousand flintlocks, which was slightly more than expected.
Firstly, there was no doubt.
Zhu Rong naturally took out 5,000 flintlocks to equip his Snow Dragon Riders.
Secondly.
Zhu Rong gave Xu Da a thousand sticks, and Xu Da was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and called him a good son-in-law!
In the end
, the remaining 1,000 were distributed to the other generals.
Although it wasn't much, they were happy to accept it. It was better than nothing!
On the Drill Ground.
Zhu Xiong was teaching the Snow Dragon Knight soldiers how to practice the spear.
Even though the Snow Dragon Riders were all brave and invincible elites, they were still unfamiliar with flintlocks.
Zhu Xiong gathered all the officials of the Snow Dragon Riders, a total of fifty people.
He was prepared to teach all these people, and then let them teach the soldiers under them.
"Turn your body slightly to the side, and lean your body slightly upward when you raise your spear!”
"Put the butt of the gun against your shoulder!”
"Hold your breath and focus. Pass the crosshair standard target!”
"Yes, very good. That's it!”
Standing under the scorching sun, Zhu Rong loudly lectured the soldiers, step by step, teaching the soldiers who had just come into contact with flintlocks.
Looking at the soldiers, Zhu Rong was a little dazed.
It was as if he could see himself in his previous life during military training in university.
At that time.
He was also being lectured by the instructor.
Thanks to the instructor, Zhu Rong learned how to use this rifle. Otherwise, Zhu Rong would have been blind!
Shaking his head, he cleared his mind and continued training his soldiers.
The flintlock was relatively easy to operate.
It didn't take long for the soldiers to learn how to use it.
However, if he wanted to beat the chaosu, he still needed to practice hard!
Especially riding and archery!
Shooting a gun on a warhorse was not like shooting on the ground. The difficulty was much higher!
However!
With Zhu Xi around, nothing would be a problem!
A month passed in a flash, and the Snow Dragon Riders had already mastered the use of flintlock guns. Not everyone was a sharpshooter, but they could at least hit the target.
At this level, he could already enter the battlefield!
Only the battlefield was the best place for training!!
On the Drill Ground.
Looking at the scene of the Snowy Dragon knights galloping and shooting, the corners of Zhu Xiong's mouth curled up slightly. He could already see the outcome of the enemy!
There was a flintlock for long-range Charge.
In close combat, there was also the Mo Blade!
Who else could do it?
Zhu Rong could not wait to see the Snow Dragon Riders on the battlefield after upgrading their equipment!
Actually…
After a year of development.
The soldiers of the Wu army had already recovered from the battle with Chen Youliang in Hongdu. Many of the generals had long been clamoring to beat Zhang Shicheng up.
As long as Zhang Shicheng was eliminated.
The entire south of the Yangtze River would belong to the Wu army.
At that time, they would form a confrontation with the Yuan Court and divide the world equally.
And the status of these generals would naturally rise along with it!
On this day.
Marshal Manor.
Zhu Yuanzhang gathered all the civil and military officials.
"Everyone, after a year of recuperation, we can be said to be strong.”
"It's time to move!"
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke bluntly and directly explained the purpose of gathering everyone.
It was obvious!
That was to start a war with Zhang Shicheng!
"You're right!"
"How can you let others sleep soundly beside your bed?”
"Right now, the only remaining forces of the Red Turban Army in the Jiangnan area are us and Zhang Shicheng.”
"Only by annexing Zhang Shicheng can we focus on dealing with the Baoyuan Imperial Court.”
Lee Shan Chang echoed.
These days, he had been discussing this matter with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"That's right! Mr. Li is right!"
"We should have hit Zhang Shicheng a long time ago!”
"After we finish off Zhang Shicheng, we will deal with Northern Yuan and unify the world. Then, we will become the emperor!”
"That's right! That's right!"
"Just do it!"
"It's time to end the rule of the Hu Krupp on the grasslands. Look at what kind of days our Han people are living under their rule!”
"Ascendant, give the order!”
"Give the order!"
Hearing that there was going to be a war, the soldiers rubbed their fists and rubbed their palms. They were in high spirits and their expressions were filled with eagerness.
They couldn't wait for Zhu Yuanzhang to become emperor.
In this way, they would be the subjects of the dragon, and they would be conferred the title of marquis and general. They would be rich and noble, and it would not be a problem for them to be conferred the title of wives and children!
"Good!"
"The morale of the generals is high.”
"If that's the case!"
"Generals, listen up!"
