Domineering Daming

Boom boom boom!

Immediately, the bells and drums rang together, and the heavy voice sounded in this martial arts place.

This is "Military Music", thick and powerful, the killing is exciting, and it shakes people's hearts.

Everyone's heart sank and jumped, and they looked at the opened door. A group of 500 people in black armor holding long guns appeared. They were facing forward, holding their long guns tightly, raising their legs high, and their upper bodies were motionless. , the sound of trampling was dense, forceful, crisp, striding across slowly and quickly from east to west.

Zhu Xu looked at this square team and nodded secretly. Compared with those guard troops seven years ago, it was completely reborn, and his painstaking efforts and dedication over the years were not in vain.

Immediately afterwards, the second square team was shield soldiers, holding thick shields, and then appeared. Their steps were more like stamping their feet. Every step made the ground and even the high platform tremble. They were neat, powerful, and not chaotic at all.

Although he had only walked more than [-] meters, Zhu Xu could already see the entire team, and he was very relieved.

The combat effectiveness of an army depends first on its discipline. The stronger the discipline, the higher the combat effectiveness. Zhu Xu is very satisfied!

Zhu Xu was satisfied, while the elders beside him remained expressionless, but their eyes flickered slightly.

Although this kind of martial arts performance is a bit "child's play", but you can see the whole leopard at a glance, the army of Ming Dynasty is indeed different, and the hearts of these elders are relieved.The army is the most powerful support for all reforms. With a strong army, even if any troubles do arise, they can be quickly suppressed and start all over again.

The six ministers under the high platform can also understand a little bit, looking at it quietly with their usual expressions.

As a governor, the governor, as a local important person, can see some tricks better, staring silently and thoughtfully.

Under the influence of Zhu Xu for many years, these officials of the Ming Dynasty saw that things had subtly improved. If it had been in the past, they would have "strongly advised" them long ago.

However, the entire Ming court could see some tricks, those envoys and the king were a little confused, they didn't understand.

Soldiers of Ming Dynasty, just take a trip like this?Is this martial arts?

Even the envoys and rulers of North Korea, Horqin, Ryukyu, etc. who were deeply shocked after watching the Ming Dynasty performance twice, were puzzled at this moment.

They are very confused, let alone the envoys of Siam, Burma, and Nanzhang.The envoy of Chahar, who was originally preoccupied and stressed, An Dashan was relieved at this time.

If Ming's army is just such a show, then their Chahar is nothing to be afraid of!

The ordinary people not far away were even more confused. The army came in a square formation, one square formation after another. Is this a martial arts performance?What is there to see?

They can too!

Too many people looked blank, and their eyes had turned from the army to the high platform.They don't know what the hell the court is doing, and what is the emperor's expression?

Zhu Xu didn't care, and kept staring at each phalanx.

Behind the shield soldiers are javelins, archers, followed by muskets, arrow guns, cavalry, etc., one square after another, each one is solemn and orderly, well-proportioned, without any mistakes.

The sound of the footsteps was very neat, like a sound, Zhu Xu was watching, with a smile on his face all the time.Although this is the most elite army of Ming Dynasty, others may be incomparable, but this is enough to show that the army of Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes!Even if the other armies are poor, they will not be too bad!

Zhang Yun stood beside Zhu Xu, but she didn't understand, she blinked, and glanced at Zhu Xu quietly, still dignified and quiet without any mistakes.

It took more than half an hour to complete the square formation of 2000 people. In the end, even some ministers in the cabinet felt a little "cumbersome", unnecessary, boring, unable to distinguish the meaning inside, and frowned secretly .

Shen Yongmao stood on the square platform, watched the phalanx complete, waved the flag in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Cannon, get ready!"

As soon as the word "artillery" came out, the "sleepy" cabinet ministers, six ministers, ministers, governors and governors from all over the country, foreign envoys, etc. were all refreshed and looked up at the artillery position not far away. .

Many people came here for this!

There is a high ground with nearly a thousand cannons erected on it, facing the gravel area in the south.

Many people have seen Daming's artillery, especially the sea drill in Fujian, and those who have seen it will never forget it!

Andashan of Chahar looked extremely serious. Before he came, his brother Lin Danhan specifically asked him to find out how powerful the artillery of the Ming Dynasty was and what kind of threat it would pose to them.

The envoys of Nanzhang, Burma and others also opened their eyes wide. Their relationship with Daming was not good or is not good now. If Daming's force is too strong, they need to deal with it early!

Horqin, North Korea, Ryukyu and other countries facing threats are even more eager to see them. They need the protection of Ming Dynasty, and a strong Ming Dynasty is beneficial and harmless to them!

The ordinary people outside the fence are even more looking forward to it. They all know that now Daming is determined to develop "extraordinary skills and obscenity", among which the artillery has invested the most, and next year it will be as high as several million taels of silver!

This is also one of the "handles" of today's court's incompetent government. I don't know how many people scolded him, and how many people wrote letters of impeachment and remonstrance.

Cao Wenzhao stood at the easternmost end of the artillery array, holding a flag in his hand, watching the artillery who gradually raised the muzzle, waiting for orders.

"Start!" Shen Yongmao shouted, waving the flag fiercely at the same time.

"Fire!" Cao Wenzhao waved the flag at the same time and shouted in a deep voice.

Bang bang bang!

Cannons were fired one after another, and shells flew out one by one, filling the sky in an instant.

Eight hundred cannons were fired one after another, the shells rained, and the cannons sounded like thunder. No other sounds could be heard in this huge martial arts arena!

Boom boom boom!

Before everyone could react, a thousand feet away, it was hard to tell how far away, shells exploded intensively, smoke and dust billowed, rocks flew, and the sky trembled.

In the gravel belt that is two miles long, there is almost nothing else to be seen. It is all shells exploding, rolling up smoke and dust, rolling like waves.

"Thunderbolt is ready!" Cao Wenzhao waved the flag and shouted again.

One by one, the artillery reloaded again, and the gunner fired immediately.

Bang bang bang!

The cannon muzzle surrounded by green smoke fired out different shells again, flying all over the sky, like black rain, falling towards the smoky gravel belt.

The explosion this time was not as intense, heavy, and dull as before, but instead gave people a "smooth" feeling.

Immediately afterwards, strands of flames appeared in the dusty place, and after a short while, the flames spread rapidly, and the two-mile-long gravel belt seemed to be ignited suddenly. Enough to swallow half a foot high!

The artillery was still going on, and amidst the rumbling sound, shells flew out one after another, like a fire cooking oil, and the fire in the gravel belt shot up into the sky, as if it was going to engulf everything!

Even after a few miles, people watching from a distance felt the scorching heat, their faces were hot, and almost everyone's expressions changed drastically, showing horror.

On the high platform, Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, his expression flashed solemnly, he let out a long breath in his heart, and smiled.

He knew that the Ordnance Bureau had been developing a kind of "incendiary bomb", and it must be this.Although this kind of incendiary bomb is not very lethal, its deterrent effect is absolutely amazing. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, it can play a big role even in battle at sea. After all, the current warships are still mainly made of wood!

Zhang Yun's pretty face was a little pale. Looking from her, the flames were churning and surging around, like a demon with claws and claws. It was too scary to devour everything!

She bit her lips lightly, and when no one was paying attention to her, she whispered to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Xu remained expressionless, and quietly took her little hand, and shook it firmly.

Zhang Yun's mind suddenly settled down, she pursed her lips, recovered her manners for the last time, and stood quietly beside Zhu Xu.

The five elders on Zhu Xu's right had different expressions, but they were all extremely shocked.Except for Sun Chengzong, the expressions of the others changed one after another, showing surprise.
