In Ningde City, the soldiers on the city wall are preparing for defense, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers on the school field are in full swing.Zhao Ming, Zhang Mingzhen, Wu Zhaosheng, Li Yuanyin and others watched the Ming army in Donghai Town drilling.More than 1,000 musketeers fired a salvo, causing smoke and debris to fly on the school grounds.Zhang Mingzhen said: "Bo'an, can you sell me a batch of muskets." ”Zhao Ming used to be the head soldier under Zhang Mingzhen's account, so he respected his old boss very much.Zhao Ming smiled and said: "There are not many such muskets in Donghai Town, Yuan Bo said that he wanted a batch, but there was no more, but since Dashuai has spoken, I will produce 300 rods for Dashuai with the money in June next year, but the materials needed need to be purchased by Dashuai himself." ”More than half a month ago, the Ming army held a conference in Wenzhou, Zhao Ming's Donghai Town, and showed his face in front of Zhu Yihai.Of course, Zhao Ming is not just to show his face, but has his own purpose, when showing the elite of Donghai Town, he also showed the generals of the Zhejiang Army the sophisticated equipment of Donghai Town, and prepared to sell it to the Zhejiang Army in exchange for raw materials and money to expand production.Arms and drugs are the most lucrative and violent industries, Zhao Ming's development is subject to resources and scale, he hopes to use the resources of other forces in western Zhejiang to expand production, make money to raise troops, establish a powerful weapons workshop at the same time, but also by the way to improve the combat effectiveness of various units of the Zhejiang army.Zhang Mingzhen laughed and said: "At this time, naturally, that handsome man is waiting for Bo'an to deliver the goods." ”As he spoke, he looked at the bronze cannon that the soldiers were operating, and said with great interest: "Bo'an, you Xiyi cannon, do you sell it?"
”Zhao Ming nodded immediately, "This cannon can also be sold, but the workshop has just mastered the casting technology, and there is a lot of waste, so the cost is expensive." ”Zhang Mingzhen frowned and said, "How much is one door?"
”Zhao Ming was embarrassed: "This cannon is made of copper, and it is a pile of money, this price~" Zhang Mingzhen stopped, looked at Zhao Ming's face, and said with a straight face: "Okay, you Zhao Boan, you just say how much it is, are you afraid that I can't afford it?"
”Zhao Ming hurriedly said: "Where, this cannon is seven hundred taels, I am responsible for the maintenance of the artillery for the next year, and ensure that the church soldiers use the cannon." ”"Seven hundred and two gates!"
Zhang Mingzhen gasped, ten doors are seven thousand taels, which is equivalent to a year's military salary for seven hundred soldiers.Seeing this, Zhao Ming suddenly introduced: "If the marshal thinks that the artillery is too expensive, I recommend this thing to the marshal." ”As soon as Zhao Ming stretched out his hand, Ding Weiyue behind him handed over a black iron ball the size of a fist.Zhang Mingzhen took it and looked at it carefully, there were many deep grooves on the surface of the black iron ball, and there was a lead wire on it.Zhao Ming introduced: "Dashuai, this is called a grenade, it is filled with gunpowder, ignited the fuse and thrown, when it explodes, the iron shell will tear the iron shell, and explode into countless fragments along the deep groove, killing and injuring the enemy." ”Zhang Mingzhen studied for a moment, "Isn't this just a trumpet earth-shattering thunder?"
”Zhao Ming smiled slightly, "The handsome and wise man is indeed the Heaven-Shaking Thunder, but we have slightly improved the gunpowder formula and made it smaller." ”Wu Zhaosheng became interested, "Zhao Dudu, try one!"
”Zhao Ming nodded, took the grenade, and lit it himself, when the lead was about to run into the iron ball, it was thrown suddenly, and everyone saw that the moment the iron ball landed, there was a sudden "boom" explosion, and the white light flashed, and a cloud of gunpowder smoke was raised.Everyone was shocked, and Zhao Ming explained: "After this grenade is reduced, although the power becomes smaller, it is difficult to kill the heavy armor soldiers, but it will cause some injuries to the Qing army and blow up the formation of the Qing army. ”Zhang Mingzhen asked, "How much is this?"
”Zhao Ming said: "One tael and five coins of silver?
Set more, can be cheaper!
”In fact, whether it is a musket, artillery, or grenade, Zhao Ming's weapons workshop has a very low production capacity.This is mainly due to the supply of materials and labor costs, as well as the skilled craftsmen, Zhao Ming decided to break these restrictions, it is not enough to accumulate on his own, the speed is too slow, only to obtain large sums of money and continuous investment in orders, the workshop can buy raw materials, recruit craftsmen, and quickly complete the expansion.One or two or five dollars of silver, Zhang Mingzhen and the others were very surprised, but everyone felt that this hand-thrown earth-shattering thunder was really good, it could stop the cavalry charge, and it could blow up the tight infantry formation, which was a sharp weapon, and several people expressed their willingness to purchase.After ~~~~~~ Duoduo entered Fuzhou City, he purged those who did not cooperate, closed the city to ask for money, and obtained a sum of money and food, but it was still not enough to send troops to Ningde.At this time, news came from the west that Heluohui and Gong Adai led an army of 50,000 to chase after Ruijin, at the junction of Ganzhou, Jiangxi and Tingzhou, Fujian, and caught up with Emperor Longwu and trapped the Ming army in Ruijin City.This news made Duoduo very happy, and he was no longer in a hurry to go to Ningde to find Zhao Ming for a decisive battle, but stayed in Fuzhou with peace of mind, preparing to integrate the Fujian army.Previously, Zhao Ming was erratic and extremely good at wandering and fighting, and the Qing army always couldn't catch his traces, but now Duoduo can be sure that it won't be long before Zhao Ming will take the initiative to find him to fight.In order to completely annihilate Zhao Ming, especially to deal with Zhao Ming's sailors, Duoduo began to urge Zheng Zhilong to return to obedience as soon as possible and hand over his military power.After Zheng Zhilong released the Qing army into the customs, he was actually a little worried about the attitude of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he retreated to his hometown and gathered the main force of the Zheng army here, training soldiers and horses every day to show his strength.After Zheng Zhilong decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, many people within the Zheng family and his henchmen spoke out to stop him.Among them, Zheng Chenggong tried his best to persuade him three times, and even said that Zheng Zhilong would die if he surrendered to Qing and avenge him in the future.Zheng Zhilong took the initiative to withdraw the troops from the customs first, and let the Qing army enter the customs, without adding a single arrow, so that the Qing army easily occupied Fujian, and made great contributions to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but after listening to the persuasion, after talking too much, Zheng Zhilong was also a little worried, so although he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he had a heavy army in Anping City.After Duoduo entered Fujing, he sent someone to summon Zheng Zhilong to Fujing to meet, and at this time, Huang Xiyin, the imperial historian who was in charge of appeasement, entered Duoduo's festival hall, but knelt down and saluted: "Qiyu Wangye, I met Zheng Zhilong in person, and said that the prince summoned him, Zheng Zhilong was suspicious and did not dare to come to the order." ”Hearing this, Duoduo's brows furrowed, "What did Zheng Zhilong say?"
”Huang Xiyin said: "Zheng Zhilong said, he is not unwilling to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but he is afraid of the crime of establishing the king, and he is worried that the Qing Dynasty will punish him because he supports the pseudo-Tang Dynasty!"
”"And what does he want?"
”Huang Xiyin said: "Lord Wang, what Zheng Zhilong thinks is naturally to continue to be a mercenary self-respecter, listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement, and be the king of Fujian." ”Duoduo sneered when he heard this, "He wants to be beautiful!"
