Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

ps: The fifth volume has begun.

The main plot of this volume is to regain the capital, suppress Nanming, practice internal skills, and improve people's livelihood. At the same time, a small-scale collision with the West begins.

……

Jiangnan.

If we describe it according to the timeline, then the time will go back one month.

Founder is back again.

The three thousand elites he brought with him were not only armed with murderous weapons, but also had more than a dozen General Bi's artillery pieces.

Just like that, he stood swaggering outside Nanjing.

Loudly clamoring to enter the city.

However, the city gates of Nanjing have long been closed.

nonsense!

Who dares to open the door after seeing this scene?

Three thousand big men in uniform uniforms, holding various weapons, stood vertically and horizontally, asking you if you are afraid?

The only thing about this group of people that is worse than the army is that they wear a layer of cloth over their leather armor.

Finally not so murderous.

The defenders at the top of Nanjing City hurriedly reported the enemy attack.

It is suspected that Zhu Youjian's army came to kill him.

Who would have thought that Fang Zhenghua would have people heading towards the city gate under the banner of Hanjiang Trading Company.

The guy walked to the city gate and shouted loudly:

"Open the door quickly, we are the guys from Hanjiang Company!"

The gatekeeper guarding the gate shivered in his calves.

Nima!

Who believes it!

Whose guy is not only loaded with guns and ammunition, but also carries a dozen cannons with him?

oh my god!

The barrel of the cannon is so thick that even a child can get into it!

"You, you, you, you, want, want, what do you want to do..."

The Chengmen Lieutenant said in a trembling voice while asking people to quickly report the new situation.

Who would have known that the "guys from Hanjiang Trading Company" outside the city gate not only did not answer, but instead chuckled:

"Have you thought about it?

You won't open the door, right? "

After that, without waiting for the city gate captain's reply, he turned around and ran towards the queue of three thousand "guys".

The caller came to a particularly luxurious carriage and knocked on the window coffin:

"Director Fang, the city gate is not open."

Fang Zhenghua lifted the door curtain, glanced at the Nanjing City Gate, and then pointed to a manor not far away, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

"Whose house is that?"

The other courtyard is located outside Yifeng Gate, on the gentle slope at the foot of Lion Mountain.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with blue bricks and white ash joints, green tiles and tall ridges, overlapping courtyards and deep winding paths.

At first glance, it is the private residence of a wealthy family and high official.

The attendant hurriedly said:

"This is Wang Ranming's private residence. The walls are three feet thick!"

"Oh!

Wang Ranming’s yard! "

Fang Zhenghua smiled:

"Just enough to kill a chicken."

Lao Fang ordered loudly:

"My sons, let's perform martial arts!

Let the weaklings in Nanjing take a look. "

"Yes!"

The attendant shouted:

"Master Fang has an order, target the foot of Lion Mountain, the Wang Family Courtyard, and perform martial arts!"

The gunner brought by Fang Zhenghua immediately pushed the gun truck, turned the muzzle, and aimed at the other courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

The gun carriage was nailed to the ground with steel nails two feet long and as thick as an egg.

The gunners twisted the winch on the gun truck and roughly adjusted the angle.

Just outside Nanjing, a stunt was performed.

The other courtyard is large enough and is not even a mile away from the official road.

At such a close distance, there is no way it could miss.

Two hundred riders, riding tall horses, circled the Wang family courtyard, shouting:

"Evacuate, everyone inside evacuate quickly!

After half a stick of incense, we started firing! "

The servants of the Wang family ran around in fear.

I want to step forward to argue...

However, facing three thousand black muzzles and shining knives - who dares to say no?

The servants of the Wang family fled in a hurry, not even daring to pack their things.

More than a dozen stewards, big and small, were riding horses, flapping desperately, to report the news to Wang Ranming...

Half a stick of incense will arrive soon.

The small red triangular flag in the commander's hand suddenly fell:

"fire!"

The gunners brought their torches closer to the fuse.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang"!

Cannonballs poured out one after another, whizzing towards the other courtyard.

Balls of fire blinded people's eyes.

Founder is determined to establish authority.

The poison fire flying cannon is used.

That is, flower bombs.

This thing has been improved by many powerful people, but it still has poor practicality.

It was not the high temperature when the gunpowder pushed the shell that ignited the internal fuse in advance, causing the explosion to occur prematurely.

It was the violent impact of the cannonball that hit the ground that extinguished the fuse, preventing it from exploding.

This thing is not as effective as a solid cannonball!

However, General Bi's artillery was a large mortar developed by Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang based on the heartless artillery.

Each cannonball is the size of a large watermelon!

There was a full four or five kilograms of gunpowder inside.

Even if one shell explodes, it can destroy a house!

A volley of artillery fire destroyed the sturdy courtyard of the Wang family...

a mess!

The once luxurious manor has turned into a pile of ruins!

At this time, just after hearing the suspected Ming army's attack, a group of high-ranking officials hurriedly rushed to the top of Nanjing City.

Seeing this horrific scene...

The crowd fell silent.

How strong is the Wang family's courtyard? As a high-ranking official and a guest of the Wang family, how can you not know!

The Wang Family Courtyard couldn't even sustain a single volley...

How many rounds can Nanjing City survive?

The guy who called the door before came forward again:

"Open the door quickly!

We are partners of Hanjiang Trading Company, we are legal merchants, you cannot shut out legal merchants! "

The city gate captain looked at the big guys with a sad face.

Everyone hid their faces and left...

Damn!

Run now!

We cannot be held responsible if the door is opened or not!

The sky is falling——

It is only right to let the people below support you!

We are all high-ranking officials who read the books of sages and sages, so we must not get caught up in it...

The city gate captain looked at the high-ranking official who ran away quickly.

Seeing them running away without even taking the sedan they came in...

The city gate captain was dumbfounded.

What the hell!

What do you mean?

Guys, should I open the door or not?

"Hurry up and open the door!"

Outside the city, the extremely arrogant guy was calling the door again.

The city gate captain poked his head out tremblingly:

"You said you are guys from Hanjiang Company, why are you dragging cannons and holding muskets?"

"When did the Ming Dynasty ban merchants and allow merchants to possess artillery and muskets?"

Chengxia asked rhetorically.

"Uh!"

The city gate captain choked and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He explained with sweat on his face:

"The Law of the Ming Dynasty: All privately owned vests, side cards, fire tubes, and artillery cannons shall be punished by the law with eighty floggings, and the principal offenders shall be sent to the army..."

"Ah!"

The visitor chuckled:

"That's the old rule!"

Before the city gate captain could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

“My emperor granted our Hanjiang trading company permission to possess muskets and artillery.

This is our new rule in Ming Dynasty.

If you have any objections, let Prince Fu speak to my Majesty! "

Hearing this, Chengmen Lieutenant was almost frightened to death.

Damn...

No wonder all the big guys can run faster than rabbits!

This Nima...

The rebels met their true master...

Fight, can't beat, say...

What a nonsense!

Moreover!

This - does he dare to tell it?

He doesn't want to die!

The Chengmen Lieutenant had no choice but to let this one go and pointed at the Wang Family Courtyard and said:

"Then since you are legitimate businessmen, why do you attack other people's estates for no reason and take human life so seriously?"

"cut!

You are blind!

Which eye of yours - saw us killing people? "

"My master said, if you ask that.

His explanation to the small court of Nanming was - we are all servants, we are not familiar with our hands, and we made a mistake..."
