Chapter 128 Shocking!Fire gun soldiers volley formation!Humiliate the little devil again!
Magistrate Songjiang's eyes became even more intense when he saw these two machines. He knew that the widespread use of these two machines would bring about revolutionary changes.
Looking at the expressions of the workers beside him, the prefect said directly: "Are you convinced?"
Everyone raised their thumbs: "We are all convinced!"
"What you brought is so powerful for a novice. If a skilled worker uses such a machine, it will be faster."
"Yeah, something like this is really a magical tool."
"Artifact!"
"Master Prefect, you are so amazing that you can actually get something like this."
"Now those small workshops are even more miserable. They can't compete with us in the first place. If we still use these two artifacts, then they will be even less able to catch up."
"That's fine. The faster we go, the lower the cost will be, and the price of cotton will come down."
This hits home.
The prefect immediately wrote it down, then went back with the machine and started writing the report immediately.
What he meant was to quickly promote these two machines in the Songjiang area.
If it is promoted, it will definitely create a more prosperous scene.
……
And just when the memorial from Magistrate Songjiang arrived at the cabinet, a piece of news quickly reached the Ministry of Rites.
There are people coming from the Japanese imperial court.
When the news reached Ling Han.
Ling Han informed Chen Han of the news very loyally.
Concierge hotel.
Matsushita Ijiro and their prince Zhenshan are waiting for Ling Han.
Prince Zhenshan is now 1 unhappy.
Because he is here as a hostage.
Even in the most difficult time of the Southern Court, he was not handed over as a hostage.
But now he was actually sent out in order to get help from Ming Dynasty.
It was a huge blow to his dignity.
Especially after hearing the conditions proposed by the Ming Dynasty, he became even more angry.
He repeatedly told his father that he could not agree to such conditions.
But his father finally gave in.
Because compared to the harsh conditions of the Ming Dynasty, they were even more disgusted by the Southern Court facing the rebel Ashikaga Yoshimitsu of the Northern Court.
As the shogun, Yoshimitsu Ashiki actually asked Emperor Kameyama of the Southern Dynasty to hand over the three sacred artifacts, and at the same time recognize the Emperor of the Northern Dynasty as his adoptive father.
But the age difference between the two emperors is only about ten years.
How could Emperor Gogeyama endure such an insult.
So he blatantly agreed to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing that the prince was so unconvinced, Matsushita Ijiro had to persuade him: "Your Highness, the only one who can save us now is the Ming Dynasty. You must not show dissatisfaction.
You have also seen that the Ming Dynasty was much better than ours. You will be enjoying the blessings in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. "
Zhenshan snorted after hearing this: "It's so easy to say that you are far away from your homeland, detained in another country, and let me enjoy it here."
Matsushita Ijiro also looked embarrassed.
Then he still said: "Now we have a request from the Ming Dynasty, you should be patient.
If they are willing to send troops to help us immediately this time, maybe we will still have a chance. "
Zhenshan said disdainfully: "I don't believe how powerful they are in the Ming Dynasty. The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan, was even more powerful than the Ming Dynasty, and he was defeated by us Japanese slaves.
Now we actually have to ask them for reinforcements. "
Matsushita Ijiro was a little embarrassed.
He was embarrassed to say that if it hadn't been for the help of the typhoon, the entire Japanese slaves would have been destroyed.
It is quite sad that this kind of luck-based thing is publicized every day.
But now they see that the Ming Dynasty has become stronger and people are still willing to help, so they are secretly enjoying themselves.
"The envoys of the Ming Dynasty have arrived!" someone shouted outside.
Matsushita Ijiro hurriedly pulled the prince up and greeted Ling Han and the others together.
Ling Han came in first, followed by Chen Han.
This was the first time for Chen Han to participate in this kind of national negotiation, and he didn't know what kind of attitude he should have.
However, I still couldn't hide my anger when I saw the little devil more than 600 years ago.
Therefore, Matsushita Ijiro was also very surprised to find out why there was a young man in the Ming Dynasty's envoy who looked at him with such hatred.
Ling Han's attitude after entering made Chen Han a little surprised.
He thought that this old man who had just been promoted to Minister of Rites would be very humble, but what surprised him was that.
Ling Han's attitude was surprisingly bad. He directly asked sternly at the table why it took so long to come. Did he look down on our Ming Dynasty?
That attitude simply says, 'I have a bad attitude and am very impatient' written all over my face.
On the opposite side, Matsushita Ijiro and others were full of humility, apologizing repeatedly and explaining that it was due to the influence of the monsoon and they could not go to sea. They did not dare to refute at all.
There was only one dwarf with slightly fairer skin, his face full of anger.
But he couldn't control the situation at all.
Whether it’s time to say it or not, there is a saying that is really good: national strength is the backing on the negotiating table.
If I am strong and you are weak, you must be scolded by us as your grandson.
All gestures and magnanimity are all processed in literary works of art.
Real negotiations always rely on strength.
If you don't have the strength, see if you can raise your head at the negotiating table.
Chen Han felt very comfortable listening to it.
This kind of negotiation scenario will have to be reversed in a few hundred years.
So in order to prevent this situation from being reversed, Chen Han decided to destroy them in this era no matter what.
Ling Han directly threw the documents he had prepared on the table.
"The conditions are still these, sign and seal it!"
Just when Matsushita Ijiro was about to watch, Ling Han's voice came: "Why do you really want to watch? Could it be that our Ming Dynasty will still lie to you in this regard?"
When Matsushita Ijiro heard this, he felt very aggrieved, but he still did not dare to think too much, so he had to take out his seal to stamp and sign the credential.
As for whether there were other clauses that they thought were added, in fact there were not.
Daming would not act so shamelessly.
Still the same four items, first, send hostages; second, cede land; third, pay military expenses; fourth, establish treaty ports.
Logically speaking, such conditions are very shameful, but there is nothing the Japanese court can do.
If they don't agree, the country may be destroyed.
So we can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
The signed credentials were made in triplicate, two were kept in the Ming Dynasty, and one was brought back to the Japanese court by them.
After it was signed, Prince Mayama saw the contents of the treaty, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. However, since it was signed, he also knew that this was not something he could decide at all.
So he had no choice but to say: "We have signed a treaty with your country. We must make it clear what the assistance your country promised is."
Chen Han looked at the contents of the contract carefully.
At first glance, he found that these were the treaties he had signed with Ling Han in modern times.
It seems that this little old man also holds a grudge.
Be sure to let the little Japanese slaves here also try it, it tastes amazing.
But now that he saw how aggrieved the Japanese slave was, he felt so happy in his heart.
Although this treaty was just to tease the Southern if these people have the energy to finally have someone behind them, they will be more able to help Ming contain the Northern Court.
Therefore, for the benefit of this aspect, of course, it is necessary to help the Southern Court on the surface.
Ling Han said calmly: "My Ming Dynasty can temporarily assist 1000 of you!!"
what! ! ! After Ling Han said this, Prince Zhenshan finally couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped off the chair and slapped his palm on the table which was about the same height as his shoulder.
He yelled: "Don't bully others too much. What can 1000 people do? Are you kidding us?"
Chen Han was sitting on the edge and was very happy to see this scene.
I thought to myself, it would be nice if I really played tricks on these people.
But this time Daming really didn't play tricks on them.
Matsushita Ijiro also felt that this was not possible and that he could not go back and explain.
So Ling Han looked at Mu Ying.
Mu Ying raised the corner of her mouth at this time, "Come over and have a look!"
Chen Han didn't know what they were up to, but there was nothing wrong with going along and taking a look.
Ling Han and Mu Ying took Chen Han and the Japanese slaves and the gang, boarded the carriage, and went directly to the westernmost Jingying camp.
Chen Han also came here for the first time.
But the army smells really bad.
It smells like horse manure.
The sound of loud training drums and trumpets, the cheers of the soldiers during training, the charging and kicking of horses, the sounds of neighing, the clash of swords and guns, and the sound of firearms firing were heard constantly.
Chen Han was very pleased to hear the sound of firearms.
It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang and others have begun to form the earliest firearms unit based on what he said.
I just don’t know what the results will be.
In fact, Chen Han still has some inventions and creations from later generations that he can bring forward.
For example, the flintlock gun is the most typical invention.
Such as bullet improvements and so on.
However, these are all things that can only be played after the industry develops. Now if you say it, it will be a big deal.
Mu Ying led everyone to an open area, which covered an area of ten acres. It was a firearms testing site.
Because there are many human-shaped wooden stake targets erected on this open land.
On the field, a queue of a thousand people with helmets and armors had already stood.
Among these 1000 people, 600 were fire soldiers, [-] cavalry, and [-] shield soldiers.
The six hundred fire gun soldiers held cylindrical fire guns. Each soldier also had a short knife and several bags containing gunpowder and marbles at his waist.
The two hundred soldiers in the front row were equipped with a thick shield, fifty centimeters wide and nearly meters high. They were also equipped with broken knives and several bags of gunpowder and marbles around their waists.
Their gunpowder is probably the ammunition prepared for the firecrackers.
The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty had certain characteristics, mainly including four: soft bows, long arrows, fast horses, and light swords.
These cavalry are well-equipped. Although there are only [-] cavalry, they should be used to chase the scattered enemies and serve as a supplement to the mobility of the firearms troops.
Mu Ying brought Chen Han, the others and the little devils to the observation deck.
After climbing to the five-meter-high observation deck, you can clearly see the situation below.
The little devils still don't know what Mu Ying is up to, but the only thing they know is that 1000 people cannot play a key role at all.
The commanding generals below saw that Mu Ying and the others had entered a state of watching the battle.
Get ready to go now!
Boom! A tom sounded in the procession.
Whoa!
The six hundred fire rifle soldiers were divided into three columns of 200 people in a row and stood solemnly.
Their formations were not in neat opposition, but in staggered formations.
This is designed to facilitate shooting in turns.
Boom! The two toms are ringing.
Two hundred shield soldiers cleared the way, and the team slowly approached the human-shaped target in front.
When the distance was only about forty steps, that is, thirty to forty meters, he stopped.
Boom! The three-way drum sounds.
The shield soldier knelt down on one knee and raised his shield to the ground.
The first row of musketeers took a waist-firing position, lit the fuse, and aimed at the human-shaped target in front of them. boom! !
After the first row fired, most of the human-shaped targets more than 30 meters in front were hit, leaving behind dense iron targets.
The roaring sound of firecrackers startled the little Japanese who had seen this kind of volley fire for the first time.
And Chen Han was also shocked.
Living in a peaceful era, he never failed to hear the sound of gunshots in real life.
After firing the cannons, the first row quickly retreated to the third row, the second row became the first row, and the third row became the second row.
Then the second row fired and the third row fired.
After three rounds, the shield soldiers immediately closed their shields to form a shield, and then the cavalry fired a round of arrows.
During this process, the first row of firecrackers has basically completed loading.
Boom! The drums sounded, and the shield soldiers separated again, leaving a gap in the shields. The first row of musket soldiers opened fire, the second row opened, the third row opened, and the cavalry fired another round of arrows.
Then the cavalry put away their bows and arrows, clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and rushed out.
The shield soldier drew out his scimitar and slowly pushed it forward, while the fire gun soldier put away his fire gun and drew out his short sword.
Chen Han and the others were astonished when they saw it from the observation deck.
This is a typical three-stage attack that later generations called, also known as the artillery and artillery restraint method.
However, considering that the current firearms are not very powerful and the reloading time is too long, a round of cavalry archery is added to reduce the firepower during the window period.
It can be seen that this formation works very well together, and as long as it can perform stably on the battlefield, it will definitely have a powerful effect.
After just two rounds of volleys and two rounds of arrows, the cavalry rushed out. Chen Han didn't understand this logic very well, so he had to ask Mu Ying.
However, this posture has already frightened the little devils.
Such firepower is very backward in modern times, no, in modern times, but 600 years ago, it was quite advanced and unique.
No wonder the little devils were so frightened when they saw it.
At this time, Mu Ying also said at the right time: "I heard that the scale of your country's battles is not large. I wonder if the thousand cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the phalanx of fire rifle soldiers are enough to deal with it?"
Matsushita Ijiro and Mayama Prince were both a little embarrassed.
Although they are now called the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it looks like there are two dynasties confronting each other, the Southern Dynasties are actually better, relatively small, and there is not much infighting.
But the Northern Dynasty was different, and there were endless internal strife.
For example, the Ouchi clan, who was engaged in smuggling trade, was so rich that he could not get along with Ashikaga Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu.
What's more, the Yamana clan is also a very big family and doesn't quite listen to Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's orders.
Even Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's cousin often made small moves in Kamakura's Ashikaga Kanemitsu, preparing to kill Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in Kyoto and become the shogun himself.
In fact, this guy did unite with the Ouchi clan to stage a rebellion, but it was unsuccessful.
Therefore, every time Ashikaga Yoshimitsu sends out not too many troops, after all, he still has to guard against someone stealing from the house.
If it weren't for the disunity within the Northern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty would not have been able to survive for so many years.
But now they were embarrassed when Muying asked if they could deal with the scale of the little devil's war.
Because the biggest war they have fought in recent years only involved a total of 6000 troops from both sides.
Mu Ying's musketeers, for example, could kill 600 people in one or two rounds, which meant one-sixth of them were killed or injured in an instant. It was so cruel that any morale would be gone in two rounds.
I guess he was scared away before he even got in front of the musketeers, and even gave him a fight...
