I, fused with Vegeta, invaded the reincarnation space

"Your Highness, Zhui Feng has been brought out for you!"

At this moment, Geng Qing, dressed in armor, came to Zhu Lai to report.

Zhui Feng was Zhu Lai's favorite war horse. He once accompanied Zhu Lai on the battlefield for several years, and he was also considered to have made a decision when he fought against the Tatars. Kudos to the horse! Although this horse is a bit old now, Zhu Kai is still used to riding it when he goes out!"Kui'er, are you going out of town again?"

"In retreat?"

Concubine Gao couldn't help asking..

"Yes, I'm going to the military camp!"

"It's been a while since I visited the military camp. The soldiers can't slack off in their training!"

Zhu Kai shook his head, but he was not lying. This time he was indeed planning to go to the Guards camp.

"Then go quickly and remember to come back early!"

When Concubine Gao heard this, she didn't say much.

Zhu Hui immediately left Su Wang's Mansion with Geng Qing, went straight out of the city and went straight to the camp of the Ganzhou Guards Army!

After Zhu Hui arrived at the military camp, Geng Qing also appeared in front of Zhu Kai and handed over a list of names! At the same time, prison cars were escorted to the military camp from outside!

At first count, there were hundreds of prisoners."Your Highness, these prisoners on death row were all escorted from Xi'an Mansion and have been cleared!"

Geng Qing reported the report angrily.

"There was no unjust, false or wrongful conviction, right?"

Zhu Kai asked calmly.

"It would be a shame for all of them to die!"

Geng Qing nodded.

"Well, just send it to your hometown!

Zhu Lai nodded with satisfaction and ordered. If the ghost troops under his command want to improve their strength, feeding them with the flesh and blood of living people is definitely the best choice!

When Zhu Lai once attacked the Hexi Corridor and Hami, he could still Get some Tatars as tribute!

But since the Hexi Corridor was completely controlled by Zhu Lai and Hami became the Hami Guard of the Ming Dynasty, basically no one dared to come to Zhu Lai's territory without opening their eyes! We have no choice but to settle for the next best thing and choose those damned people who are evil and evil to serve as the food for these ghost armies!"

Geng Qing responded, and directly led a team of men to escort these death row prisoners on the road again!

These death row prisoners still don't know what will be waiting for them, but everyone has a look of fear on their faces!

However, for these prisoners Zhu Kai will not have any sympathy for this damned person!"Your Highness, the things are ready and waiting for you! Geng

Qing reminded Zhu Lai softly at this time.

"Very good, I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

Zhu Mei said, and walked into the military camp.

This time he came to the military camp, and there were more important things than dealing with these death row prisoners!

That is, a crossbow made of three-strand rubber bands has been made!

As for the rubber bands , which was made from the natural rubber extracted from the first batch of rubber grass transported from the Western Regions!

To put it bluntly, this rubber crossbow is an enhanced version of a slingshot! It's so sparse and common. Basically, boys would play with this thing when they were young! It's actually just a toy made of a tree branch tied with a rubber band!

Although it's just a toy, it can be used to hunt birds and some small animals at close range. Aiming at the fatal part of a person can even kill people!

However, those slingshot toys made of tree branches and rubber bands basically shoot clay balls or pebbles, and the people they hit will only be slightly injured!

The slingshot crossbow made by Zhu Hui uses three strands of rubber bands as the ejection power, but it is different. It has a frame directly made of iron. The rubber bands are as thick as a finger, and the three strands are used at the same time.

The whole shape is ordinary!

There are some differences in the crossbow, which makes it more convenient to aim.

It even has a butt-like design installed on the tail, which can make the launch more stable and easier for those who have insufficient arm strength when loading the gun!

, the slingshot cannot even pull the three rubber bands, and it must be loaded with the force of the foot.

The ammunition used is also a short crossbow, but the power is extremely powerful!

The power of this shot is better than that of later generations.

The lethal slingshots produced by humans are about three times more powerful, and the crossbow arrows shot out have a whistling wind!

And there is no threshold for using this thing, even if it is loaded with a pedal, it can make all soldiers It’s easy to get started!

And the shooting accuracy is definitely more accurate than ordinary bows and arrows. After all, they are made according to firearms!

People usually have a misunderstanding about military archers, whether they are ancient or modern people. I thought that archers would just have to wait for death as long as they encountered melee combat situations. However, the reality is that archers are often the most powerful individual soldier!

The reason is very simple. If you want to be an archer, you must first have it! With enough arm strength, a small force will definitely not work!

An army of 100,000 people can only have a few thousand archers at best! With such a ratio, you can imagine the quality of these archers, allowing them to fight hand-to-hand with ordinary soldiers. In a one-on-one battle, ordinary soldiers are really no match for them!

You must know that not everyone can pull a bow and arrow in the army!

Without strong arm strength, you may have trouble pulling a two-stone bow. Not to mention the accuracy of the shot!

But this kind of rubber slingshot crossbow is different. Not only are they powerful, but they are also very easy to use!

Even if you don't meet the requirements of an archer, this thing basically has legs. To be able to load the gun, the most important thing to test is personal accuracy, which means you have to have good eyesight and aim accurately! In addition, compared with ordinary bows and arrows, the range of bows and arrows in ancient armies has been recorded. The range is basically around 100 meters, which is quite far! This range is even farther than the fire cannons used by the Ming Dynasty today!

This is also the reason why the Ming Dynasty had firearms such as firecrackers, but it still couldn't destroy the Tatars in Beiyuan!

One is that the power of the fire gun is too small, and the other is that the range is too short!

In addition, these steppe Tatars are very smart and will not fight you in close combat. If they cannot defeat you, they will run directly to the depths of the desert, which will only make the Ming Dynasty's army stare! Perhaps the only firearm that can scare the prairie Tatars is the Hongwu cannon!

But that thing is too heavy. It can be used for defense in border cities, but dragging it across the grassland is completely unrealistic!

This is one of the reasons why the Beiyuan Tatars are still able to reach this point!

However, the rubber slingshot crossbow that Zhu Kai has now developed can reach a range of about 250 meters. Although it is still a bit short in Zhu Kai's opinion, at least in the encounter with the Tatars, it is enough to ensure that the Tatars can Before the cavalry could even rush to him, they were shot into a sieve! From this point of view, having this rubber slingshot crossbow is equivalent to having the confidence to be invincible!

The main purpose of Zhu Kai's visit to the Ganzhou Army's camp was to test-fire the newly manufactured slingshot and crossbow! After confirming that there are no problems, mass production can be carried out, and then a large number of equipment will be given to the Ganzhou Guards!

These are all guarantees of the combat effectiveness of the Ganzhou Army!

Arriving at the prepared shooting range, Zhu Kai looked at a slingshot and crossbow in his hand. Although the manufacturing process was not very sophisticated and was incomparable with later generations, as long as it did not affect its use, these could be ignored!

After all, this was in the Ming Dynasty, how could it compare with the craftsmanship of later generations? Zhu Kai loaded the gun directly with his hands. With his arm strength, he couldn't even use his feet!

After aiming at a wooden stake not far away, Zhu Mei directly pulled the trigger!

Accompanied by the howling wind, the short arrow shot out from the slingshot and crossbow, and instantly sank into the wooden pile!

"good!"

Zhu Kai nodded with satisfaction!

??Zhu Mei was quite satisfied with the test firing effect of the slingshot and crossbow.

But there is obviously still a lot of room for improvement, but now is not the time to be picky. Even technological improvement takes time. Just wait until better slingshots and crossbows are put into the army in the future, and then eliminate them!

"Your Highness, this slingshot and crossbow requires a lot of rubber raw materials. Although the Western Regions have been sending rubber grass over, the output can only guarantee that 500 can be made per month at most! Geng

Qing reminded softly from the side.

"We have no choice but to make do with the rubber grass for now. When the rubber trees planted in the south can be harvested in the future, we can start mass construction!"

"How many have been produced so far?"

Zhu Kai sighed helplessly and asked slowly

"Only a thousand have been made so far, but it would be no problem to equip a thousand households! Geng

Qing replied

"In this way, just four thousand more slingshots and crossbows can be made within half a year. A total of five thousand slingshots and crossbows can equip a battalion!"

Zhu Lai thought for a while and directly determined the number of slingshots and crossbows! The personal guards of the vassal king are usually three guards, that is, three battalions. The number of soldiers and horses in each battalion ranges from 3,000 to 5,000!

And Zhu Lai's Ganzhou Guards, with a total of three battalions, claimed to be 15,000 people, but privately Zhu Lai recruited a lot more, basically reaching about 20,000 people! This among many vassal kings, actually! That's quite a lot!

Most of the vassal kings, especially those in the interior, have a few thousand guards together, or even less than 10,000!

Among all the vassal kings, there are only a few who can compare with Zhu Mei. There are only three branches: King Zhu Xi of Qin, King Zhu Fan of Jin, and King Zhu Di of Yan!

·· ····Asking for flowers···· ·····

After all, like Zhu Mei, they are both frontier vassal kings, so they will definitely not be able to do it without the troops in their hands! However, since King Qin Zhu Xi was recalled to the capital, his bodyguards stayed in Xi'an Mansion. Moreover, after Zhu Yuanzhang handed over Xi'an Mansion to him to manage, King Qin's three guards are now subordinate to him. The order!

It was like Zhu Kaishun took over all the three original guards of Zhu Xiang!

In other words, the actual available troops in Zhu Kai's hands have been roughly doubled to more than 30,000! Of course, he couldn't summon all 30,000 people together. After all, Xi'an Mansion also had to be stationed, so he couldn't mess around!

But if necessary, he wouldn't mind using this army directly! This is equivalent to a big gift from the old man!

The Ganzhou Army has about 20,000 troops. If 5,000 people are equipped with such slingshots and crossbows, the ratio will be very terrifying!

It will also directly increase the combat effectiveness of the entire army by several levels!

Of course, as long as Zhu Gai is willing, it is not a problem to equip the entire army, but it will just take more time! At this time, Zhu Mei still has time! But there’s no need to be so anxious right now!

"Your Highness...sent from Xi'an Prefecture!"

At this moment, a letter came from a fast horse, and Geng Qing handed it directly to Zhu Mei.

Zhu Mei took the letter and looked at it, and his face suddenly turned cold.

"There really are policies and countermeasures. After the second brother left Xi'an Mansion, these guys became more and more unscrupulous!"

0........

"Do you really think that what I said is fart, or do you really think that I don’t dare to touch them?"

Crumbling the letter into a ball, Zhu Kai snorted coldly and spread his palms again. The original letter had turned into powder and scattered in the air!

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

A cold light flashed in Geng Qing's eyes. He knew that someone had touched King Su's taboo, and he might be bleeding like a river now!

"Take your men and wait for me outside the city!"

"I will go back to the palace first and then come back!"

Zhu Hui didn't talk nonsense. After explaining to Geng Qing, he rode the wind-chasing horse back towards Prince Su's Mansion alone! Zhu Hui must go there in person to see what happened in Xi'an Mansion!

Moreover, He hasn't even been to Xi'an Mansion since it was handed over to him, so he just took this opportunity to go there! But before going to Xi'an Mansion, he must go back to the Wang Mansion to explain to his wife and the Gu family, after all, Xi'an Although the mansion is not far from Ganzhou Mansion, this trip will take at least a few days!

In Prince Su's Mansion, Concubine Gao was playing with Zhu Zhanyan in the yard, while Mrs. Gu was holding the newly born baby in her arms. The premature baby Zhu Zhanye is basking in the sun!

As for the Li family, she has become the successor of the Gu family. Now she is basically helping to take care of the affairs of the palace! After all, Zhu Xiaqiang is still an infant, so it is best! It can be said that since Li's mother came to take charge of the affairs, she didn't have much time to manage so many trivial matters.

It can be said that after Li Shi joined Prince Su's Mansion, she helped Gu Shi take a lot of pressure off of her.

And Li Shi's ability is pretty good. , which makes both Gu and Zhu Mei quite satisfied.

Gu is not a narrow-minded person, nor does she have a strong desire to control, so she is happy to leave these matters to Li.

Of course, if there is Li! Things that cannot be dealt with must be solved by her as the princess! But the most important thing is Zhu Kai's approval and delegation of authority!

In other words, Li Shi has no evil intentions. As long as Zhu Kai notices Li

Concubine Gao and Concubine Gu were both a little surprised when they saw Zhu Hui returning to the palace so quickly.

"Meister, are you back so early today? Concubine

Gao asked curiously.

In the past, when Zhu Hui went out, he would usually come back after dark. Besides, he should be busy going to the military camp, but he came back too fast this time.

"Mother and concubine, I have to go to Xi'an Mansion. I will not be in Ganzhou these days, so I will leave the palace to you!

Zhu Lai said straight to the point.

"So sudden? What are you doing in Xi'an?"

Concubine Gao asked with some surprise.

The vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an edict. Although Xi'an Mansion is now regarded as Zhu Lai's fiefdom, it is just an escrow!

Suddenly hearing that Zhu Lai was going to Xi'an Mansion, not only Concubine Gao , even Gu was a little surprised

"My father left Xi'an Mansion to be managed by his son, so it's time to go there in person!"??

"The mess left by the second brother also needs to be cleaned up!"

"If I don't go there personally, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it well!"Billion.
