My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 62 Everyone is shocked, Lao Zhu eats melons
Xu Da was depressed for only two breaths before he became excited again.

"Your Majesty, you said that the needle-fired gun can change the form of future wars. I agree with you, but what exactly will this future war look like?"

After Xu Da said this, everyone including Li Min seemed to be thinking about something, only Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm and composed.

Tang He said first: "I think that in future wars, the main force should be the spearmen equipped with needle-fired guns, supplemented by archers, cavalry and infantry."

Seeing that the others looked dissatisfied, Tang Hefu said, “Don’t make such a stinky face, just listen to what I, Old Tang, have to say.

The needle-gun has the longest range and the greatest power, and can be used as the main force. Whether it is cavalry or infantry, heavy armor or light armor, they cannot defend against the bullets of the needle-gun.

However, no matter how fast the needle-gun fires, there will be gaps, and the enemy can take advantage of these gaps to continue attacking us.

At this time, the archers, as the second group, can make up for the lack of firing speed of the needle-fired guns, while also making the most of the range of the bows and arrows to stop the enemy again. At the same time, the gun team is also ready for the second round of shooting.

After several rounds of attacks from muskets and bows and arrows, the enemy army will be completely routed. At this point, we can send in infantry and cavalry to clean up the battlefield."

Tang He was quite proud of what he said, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Li Wenzhong right away.

"Tang Dingchen, you have fought in wars all your life, why are you getting worse and worse and are you still talking about war on paper here?"

Tang He was immediately displeased, "Nephew Li, you are smart, you can tell me what to say!"

Li Wenzhong was not polite either, and said eloquently:
"Have the enemy ever seen a needle-fired gun? I'm afraid the enemy's morale has collapsed before the first round of shooting is over. Moreover, you don't understand the principle of capturing the leader first and using deception in war!

Don't you want to take advantage of the range of the needle gun?
All we need to do is arrange a few smart shooters to ambush outside the battlefield and then shoot down the enemy generals, and the mission will be accomplished, right?

Moreover, before contacting the enemy, you can set up an ambush, have the scouts shoot down the enemy commander in advance, and then capture them all in one fell swoop, isn't that enough?
There's no need to go through so much trouble!"

Xu Da could not help but said: "Li Wenzhong, you are just a person who only wants to take advantage of opportunities. If we fight a few more times, the enemy will see the needle and the gun, right?

What about ambushing the enemy and having scouts shoot down the enemy commander? What if it happens at night? Are you blind?"

Upon hearing this, Tang He immediately became proud and was about to speak, but unexpectedly Xu Da pointed the finger at him again.

"Old Tang, Li Wenzhong was right when he said that you only know how to talk about war on paper. You even use bows and arrows as a secondary gear to make up for the gaps in the needle-fired gun?

Can't you just arrange several rows of gun teams? When the first row finishes shooting, the second row quickly fills in. When the second row finishes, the third row fills in. Do you still need archers?
Moreover, the size of a bullet is much smaller than that of an arrow. How many quivers and arrows can an archer carry at most? If the arrows are replaced with bullets, how many can he carry? Have you ever considered the problem of baggage?

So, according to what Old Xu said, we should all replace them with needle-fire rifle teams, and then coordinate with the radio hand-held stations to make good plans, then our Ming army will be truly invincible!"

"Xu Tiande, you are talking nonsense. I have so many bullets for you to make!"

Tang He glared at them. The three of them had been old buddies for decades. Although they had a deep comradeship, when it came to fighting, no one had ever given in to the other.

Then Tang He looked at Li Min and said, "Minister Li, please judge for yourself. How many bullets can be made at one time? Are they enough for Xu Tiande's nonsense?"

Li Min was confused. You dukes, just quarrel among yourselves. Why are you directing your anger towards a lowly minister like me?

Besides, I haven’t even gone to the Ordnance Bureau to ask, so how would I know how many missiles can be produced at one time?

Pretending not to hear, he continued to stand behind Zhu Yuanzhang and looked up at the sky. Hey, the sky is very blue today.

Seeing that Li Min was playing dumb, Tang He said nothing more and turned around to continue arguing with Xu Da and Li Wenzhong.

Several people were arguing with each other, and even Zhu Di and Li Jinglong joined in, occasionally saying a word or two.

In the end, no one convinced anyone. You looked at me, I looked at you, and then we looked at Zhu Yuanzhang in tacit understanding.

Xu Da said: "Your Majesty, please tell me, what will the future war look like?"

Li Wenzhong and Tang He also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, hoping to get the answer from him.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone, still with a profound expression on his face, "What you said is both right and wrong."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to be cunning again, Xu Da was unhappy.

"Your Majesty, you must not play it safe. The debate on the future form of war may involve the reform of the military system of our Ming Dynasty. You must be cautious."

"Do you really want to know what future wars will be like?" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly asked solemnly.

"Ok!"

Several people nodded in unison.

Well, you asked for this, it seems that it is time to give you a little shock in the future. Zhu Yuanzhang smiled in his heart, but his face was slow and serious.

"In that case, all of you should come back to the palace with me, including Minister Li. The Ming Dynasty will still rely on you for the production of military equipment in the future. The sooner you learn about this, the better."

"Sir, obey the order."

Several people said in unison.

Not knowing what Zhu Yuanzhang was up to, they were very curious. However, it was useless to guess at this time, so they decided to wait until they got to the palace to find out.

After arriving at the Forbidden City, they followed Zhu Yuanzhang to the inner hall, and then they saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming out with a strange square object.

What is this?

However, after the last experience, several people speculated that this should be another treasure given to His Majesty by a strange man.

I just don’t know what magical uses this treasure has, and what relationship it has to future wars?

"This thing is called a computer. It was given to me by that strange man."

"Computer?" Everyone was confused again.

"Could it be that this thing, like that radio hand-held transmitter, is also related to electricity?"

Li Min was the one who reacted quickly and responded immediately.

"Indeed." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Then what wonderful uses does this computer have, Your Majesty?" Xu Da couldn't help but be curious.

"You will know this by looking at it yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking. In front of everyone's astonished gaze, he turned on the screen and pressed the power button.

Then, several people were surprised to find that the black thing that could be used as a mirror actually emitted a dazzling light!

As the boot screen passed, the computer entered the system. Several people stared at the screen with their eyes wide open, not daring to move.

“What a beautiful painting.”

Looking at the wallpaper of blue sea and blue sky, Li Jinglong couldn't help but mutter.

Zhu Di was even more dumbfounded. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.

The other nobles were better off, but they were also stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled slightly and said nothing.

This is just the beginning. The real show hasn't even begun yet and you're already like this.

Then he controlled the cursor and clicked on the video.

"The painting, the people in the painting moved and spoke!"

Li Jinglong could no longer hold back and screamed, and the others also couldn't help shaking all over.

This shocking sight made it almost impossible for them to think.

However, when the helicopter came out, everyone could no longer contain their horror, and Li Jinglong even sat down on the ground.

"Monster!"

"Fly, fly, fly! That thing is flying!"

"There's someone in the monster's belly!"

……

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing secretly any longer. These guys were even worse than when he first saw the computer.
