The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Chapter 161 Please sell this cannon to me

"This guy is good at using military tactics. The cavalry of the Beijing Army is not as good as the border army. He does not plunder their edge. He uses this formation to make up for the disadvantage of the cavalry. The border army is afraid of this formation." Wang Yue's face was solemn.

At first, when Yan Chengjin recommended Wang Shouren, Emperor Hongzhi was skeptical. Now he saw that this man was a master of military tactics.

The ministers and envoys were speechless at this moment. Unexpectedly, the Beijing Army won.

Yan Chengjin bowed and said, "I am not talented. Your Majesty asked me to bet on the Beijing Army to win, but I didn't expect it to win..."

Emperor Hongzhi showed a happy face and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's good to win!"

Several ministers who were good friends with Wang Hua came back to the taste and asked.

"This military tactics was not taught by Brother Dehui, right?"

Wang Hua smiled awkwardly. How could he teach Wang Shouren the military tactics? If Wang Shouren learned it, he would be beaten by him...

Just as everyone was amazed, Wang Shouren showed another talent.

Wang Shouren took a spear and captured Lin Song with a dozen people.

This boy is really versatile...

The Tatar envoy Mandulai looked at Wang Shouren. This boy is stationed in the nine borders and will become a powerful enemy of the Tatars in the future. I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will have another military god.

"Dear Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who is this person?" Mandulai walked over.

Uh...

Emperor Hongzhi was about to speak, but Zhu Houzhao blinked and asked: "It was you who said that the fool was incompetent just now?"

Yan Chengjin smiled and said: "This person's name is Wang Shouren. The envoy is interested in him. Let's talk privately later, uh... chat privately. Now I still want to have a meal first. The hunting is not over yet. Only when you are full will you have the strength to watch."

Mandulai was in a heavy mood. If hundreds of thousands of Beijing troops all learned such a formation, they would be the same as these soldiers...

The envoys were not interested and looked worried.

It was noon, and the sun was high in the sky.

Yan Chengjin arranged lunch, and dishes were served on the high platform. Few people picked up their chopsticks. The envoys enjoyed fruits, not used to the food of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers were a little sleepy and looked forward to the next hunt, but Yan Chengjin and Zhu Houzhao were feasting on the side.

"Lao Gao, why is your food different from mine?"

"I brought this from home."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Chengjin's food, which was not much but very rich, and immediately lost his appetite.

The envoys cast an urgent look, and Li Dongyang and other ministers also had no appetite. They watched Yan Chengjin eat and looked at the parade ground from time to time.

Emperor Hongzhi coughed dryly: "Mr. Yan, let's start after the meal. I am a little sleepy."

"I obey your order!"

With so many people watching, he was a little uncomfortable eating, so he put away the food box.

Yan Chengjin shouted in a serious tone, "The battle just now was just an appetizer, and the main event of the hunt is coming!"

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers looked at the parade ground.

The envoys cheered up.

There was only a sound of drums!

A soldier column was carrying something on its shoulders. When they got closer, they found that it was a firearm of the Ming Dynasty.

Some time ago, the Ming Dynasty used firearms to defeat the Huosha tribe of the Tatars. Many people were curious about what this cannon looked like.

At once, they paid attention to it.

Wang Yue recognized at a glance that what they were carrying on their shoulders were signal cannons. This kind of light cannon was mainly placed in border towns to send signals.

Forty-five signal cannons were fired, making a loud noise.

Because they had no power, the envoys had no interest in signal cannons.

Next, it was the column of the generals of the mouth. The cannons of the mouth were relatively short, but the large ones weighed hundreds of pounds and required two people to lift them together.

The generals of the mouth were firearms in the early Ming Dynasty. The power of this cannon was very low.

The range is very short and it is very difficult to aim.

It will hardly be used.

These firearms were known to Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang. The court did not supervise the production of many of them. There were many old firearms piled up in Wanggongchang, and they did not feel bright.

The envoys looked at these antique firearms and were bored to eat.

Just when the envoys were in low spirits, a creaking sound came, as if a thousand-pound weight pressed the wheel.

In the distance, more than a dozen people pushed something hard, making a loud noise on the bumpy road.

A huge heavy cannon!

It was so thick!

When the muzzle was facing the high platform, the envoys were frightened, fearing that something would be shot out.

This cannon was made of copper, about two feet long and weighing more than three thousand pounds, so it could only be fixed on a car and pulled by ten people.

It was followed by a car of iron bullets.

What was shocking was that it had more than one cannon, but three.

Emperor Hongzhi had never seen such a huge heavy cannon, and couldn't help asking: "Yan Qingjia, what is this?"

"I call it the Red Barbarian General."

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and this name was very appealing to him.

Before the cannon was fired, everyone knew that its power was definitely not low.

The three cannons stopped in front of the platform, and Song Jing ordered them to turn the muzzle.

The place they were aiming at was the newly built city wall in the distance. Only one of the three cannons was used. The craftsmen used five ground nails to fix the car on the ground to offset the huge recoil.

The soldiers of the Shenjiying began to load gunpowder, which was a dangerous job.

After working carefully for a while, the people on the platform watched anxiously.

"Fire! Why don't you fire yet?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the ammunition has not been loaded yet."

Everyone looked at the soldiers below. After filling the ammunition, one person prepared to light the fuse, and the others retreated to a very far distance.

Everyone on the high platform held their breath and stared at the artillery.

Yan Chengjin first covered his ears: "Your Majesty, cover your ears quickly."

Xiao Jing had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly helped Emperor Hongzhi cover his ears.

Zhu Houzhao and the ministers also covered their ears.

"Fire letter!"

The man tremblingly stretched out the fire stick, lit it and ran back.

silence!

Everything is business as usual...

After a while.

Boom!

A deafening sound!

The sound echoed through the sky, like the earth shaking, and several fixed ground nails were shaken loose.

Yan Chengjin covered his ears and felt a buzzing in his head. Those envoys who had not had time to cover their ears felt dizzy and frightened.

Xiao Jing had fainted because he helped Emperor Hongzhi cover his ears.

Looking around again,

Everyone took a breath of cold air. The newly built city wall in the distance was blasted with a big hole, big enough for three people to pass through side by side.

The next moment, there was a crash and collapsed.

The envoys felt a chill down their spines.

Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers could fit a duck egg in their mouths, and they immediately understood why Yan Chengjin wanted to hold a wall-kicking ceremony.

No one doubted the power of this artillery, because they had all kicked the wall.

That's the city wall!

Zeng Jian was also shocked. This guy Yan Chengjin was promoted to eight miles. Could it be that this guy Song Jing really did it?

Everyone stared in stunned silence for a long time.

Suddenly, the Chao Xian envoy who had good relations with the Ming Dynasty knelt down at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi with a thud: "Dear Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty, please sell this cannon to our court."

"Dear Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty! Please sell this cannon to our court!"

"Your Majesty the Ming Dynasty..."

In the blink of an eye,

The envoys fell to their knees.

Before Emperor Hongzhi could say anything, the ministers also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! This cannon must not be sold!"

"The power of this cannon is extraordinary. One shot opened a hole in the city wall. General Hongyi, you deserve the title!"

"Yan Chengjin, how can you show off such a valuable treasure!"

When did I show off?
