Chapter 89 Weapons have always been innovative, why are you still going back to the Spring and Autumn Period?
Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che and considered it carefully: "Sir, you should know that most of the weapons used by Japanese pirates were long knives with extremely sharp blades. There was an unarmored soldier who was split in half by a Japanese pirate's long knife."
Thinking of the trembling expressions of the soldiers who had witnessed this process in the Ming camp, Zhu Xi could not help but sigh, and then said: "But my Ming Dynasty's waist sword is shorter than the Japanese pirate's long sword, and its sharpness is also not as good."
"In addition, those Japanese pirates have been practicing swordsmanship since childhood, and they all have superb swordsmanship."
"I am not responsible for the morale of the Japanese pirates. Most of my soldiers from the Ming Dynasty are farmers. Before joining the army, they were mainly engaged in agricultural production. Compared with the Japanese pirates, there is a big gap in martial arts."
When Lin Che heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhu Ping.
This kid is still limited by his horizons.
The Japanese pirates are personally brave, and they do have an advantage in small-scale combat with a small number of people.
But my Ming Dynasty lacks everything except people! Crush them directly with a majestic formation.
No matter what martial arts family you are, they will all be turned into powder under the attack of Ming Dynasty soldiers.
Lin Che educated Zhu Xi and said: "In the age of swords, the outcome of a war had little to do with the quality of the weapons."
"Weapons are not as good as people who can research and upgrade them."
"But if you are afraid of Japanese pirates, no matter how good your equipment is, it will just be a courier to the Japanese pirates!"
Zhu Xi didn't understand what express delivery meant.
However, he keenly captured what Lin Che said was a better weapon.
"Sir, how can I upgrade this weapon?"
Zhu Cang asked while pouring wine for Lin Che.
Lin Che smiled calmly and took the cup filled with wine:
"Bring me some pen and paper, we can use them..."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Feng hurriedly ran to the table next to the bed, turned over a pen and paper, and asked excitedly: "Sir, have you designed a magic weapon specifically to fight against Japanese pirates? I have seen the drawings you drew before!"
"It's just... isn't the focus of combat how to boost military morale and overcome the fear of Japanese pirates?"
Lin Che looked at Zhu Xi speechlessly and taught seriously: "I know you want to be a general and go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the country."
"But to be a general, the most important thing is not to be brave, but to have a bright mind!"
"We must be able to discover problems in the army in time and seize fighter opportunities in a timely manner during battles, instead of just thinking about how to kill people."
"Otherwise, it will be a small matter if you die in battle, but a big deal if you injure other innocent soldiers!"
In front of Lin Che, Zhu Xiang's character was that of a noble son.
I will definitely go to the battlefield in the future.
Lin Che couldn't bear the thought that her cheap student would become a brainless and reckless general, and eventually die in battle.
Strange to say, the same words came out of other people's mouths.
Not only did Zhu Xi not think that the other person cared about him, but he felt that this person was too annoying.
But when the truth came out of Lin Che's mouth, it felt deafening.
He could only try his best to change Zhu Xi's thinking.
"Thank you sir for teaching me!"
Zhu Ming, who was still squatting on the desk looking for pen and paper, stood up immediately after hearing this.
He clasped his fists and bowed respectfully to Lin Che.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xi asked with a smile: "Sir, now you should tell me how to deal with Japanese swords, right?"
"You boy!"
Lin Che was offended by Zhu Xi's persistence, and asked in an inquisitive manner:
"With the length of the Japanese sword, it is difficult to defeat it within five meters, but what if we deal with it from five meters away?"
"Is it possible that when fighting against Japanese pirates, all the soldiers should be replaced by Yi spears?"
Zhu Xi replied somewhat uncertainly.
The so-called Yi spear is a spear with a length of about five meters.
It was a weapon used in chariot battles during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Nowadays, troops are rarely deployed.
But if you use such a long spear, it will definitely be inconvenient to move.
Maybe the Japanese pirates saw that the situation was not good and ran away.
"Weapons have always been innovative. How come you have regressed to the Spring and Autumn Period?" Lin Che didn't know whether to praise Zhu Chong for being "well-read". He even knew the weapons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
It should be said that this kid has never been on the battlefield and his vision is not broad enough.
You can talk on paper.
The secret room next door.
Because Prince Zhu Biao went to invite General Xu Da and had not returned yet, Zhu Yuanzhang had to do Zhu Biao's work, holding a pen in his hand to record the lectures next door.
When Lin Che talked about the innovation of weapons, he agreed very much.
The Ming Dynasty's army has initially used fire blunderbuss, but it has not yet had time to promote it.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang had a very clear understanding of the power of fire guns.
Under his arrangement, firecrackers were manufactured in large quantities, and he intended to establish a specialized firecrackers force - the Shenji Battalion.
Lin Che's words spoke to his heart.
Lin Che continued: "I know a simple weapon that can restrain Japanese pirates."
Zhu Ping asked hurriedly: "Sir, what weapon are you talking about? How difficult is it to make? How much does it cost?"
If new weapons are too expensive to manufacture, they may be difficult to implement in the military.
After all, Ming Dynasty’s treasury is not abundant now.
Lin Che smiled and said:
"It's extremely easy to make, and the price is not even comparable to a spear."
"You should have seen the moso bamboo in the south, right? Look for the grown ones and cut off two-foot-straight bamboo poles. The branches of the moso bamboo do not need to be pruned, so that you can install iron pointed bayonets on them. As long as the Japanese pirates dare to charge into the battle, they will definitely be killed. There’s no coming back!”
Zhu Xi just listened to Lin Che's description.
Then he imagined that the Japanese pirates holding Japanese swords were in a dilemma in front of this new weapon.
In the end, it was stabbed into a sieve by the bayonet on the branch.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was next door, was also attracted by the weapons Lin Che described.
He wrote vigorously and wrote down the weapons Lin Che described.
at this time.
Zhu Biao came back with a confused Xu Da, who looked around the secret room with a strange expression.
Xu Da glanced hastily, without having time to think carefully, he came to Zhu Yuanzhang and bowed his eyebrows: "Your Majesty, Xu Da, greetings your Majesty!"
"Free gift!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became energetic, stood up, straightened the old man's body, and said impatiently: "Tiande, do you have any questions? Can you ask them later?"
"Let's ask you first!"
“Fujian Coast…”
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Biao presented the memorial with both hands and said respectfully: "Father!"
"All the battle reports along the coast of Fujian are here. Among them is the battle report of the Quanzhou naval battle. Please take a look at it, father."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves, patted the prince on the shoulder, and praised:
"Not bad!"
"The boss is as considerate as silk!"
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly spread out the memorial and started reading it carefully.
But seeing his expression change drastically, it was wonderful.
From excitement, to ecstasy, to disbelief.
Xu Da, who was standing aside, stared blankly for a moment, even more confused about the situation.
The prince was mysterious when he arrived and didn't explain much.
I arrived at the secret room of the imperial prison in a daze. His Majesty was crazy and didn't say anything.
What happened today? a while.
Snapped!Zhu Yuanzhang closed the memorial, raised his arms and shouted: "God bless Daming!"
"God bless Daming!"
