Chapter 542 King Qin: Either the second or the third child!
"It's good. He's very talented in water warfare. In time, he will definitely be able to stand on his own." Liao Wu'an knew very well that Zhu Jun's purpose of assigning Vajra Slave to the navy was nothing more than learning.
In addition, he is Zhu Jun's brother-in-law, so the relationship is naturally closer than him, so it is impossible for him to speak ill of Vajra Nu.
"The conditions are a little bad now, but they will get better gradually." Zhu Jun didn't say much, but watched the training from the sidelines.
Several large ships of the main force have been equipped with ship cannons, but these are too expensive and are scarce in quantity. Fengyang's production is only five or six pieces a month, and so far, only thirty pieces have been saved.
In addition, there are mortars, grenades, etc. for land warfare.
The most important thing is that there are also mines and torpedoes (already existed in the Ming Dynasty, and there were even prototypes of two-stage rockets), but the production is very small, and they are generally reluctant to be used for training.
Zhu Jun didn't know the drawings of these weapons, but as a doctor of archeology, the development process of weapons was his strong point, and he could also draw a rough outline of the weapon style.
Not to mention modern weapons, even if they were painted, they cannot be made now.
Even if black gunpowder is not purified into yellow gunpowder, don't even think that firearms can have the power to destroy the world.
However, it is not a big problem when used to fight pirates.
These so-called pirates are actually rebels entrenched on the island, and their combat effectiveness is expected to be considerable.
The most interesting thing is that they have many ships. Who would believe that they have no support?
"If you want to conduct live-fire training, go farther away to avoid being discovered."
"There is very little live-fire training at present. It is mainly physical training, troop formations, and cultural studies." Liao Wu'an said awkwardly: "The main reason is that there are too few artillery shells. There are hundreds of gunners, and one training will cost hundreds of artillery shells.
Throwing grenades is okay, after all, there are many of them. Except for the specialized throwers, other arms of the navy are only proficient, and no specialization is required.
The most important thing is the archers, specially equipped with rockets.
There are also racket soldiers who specialize in controlling the racket...
Of the 15,000 soldiers, sailors actually make up one-third of them, and among them there are hundreds of ship palaces and ship doctors accompanying the team."
In other words, there are fifteen thousand people, and sailors account for almost half of them.
Before artillery came out, naval operations were basically divided into three types: fire attack, stick shooting, and downstream impact.
The collision angle in front of the battleship is designed for collision.
Zhu Jun took a deep breath, "What I want is an extraordinary navy. Those weapons are not decorations. Don't feel bad about the cannonballs, and don't feel bad about the silver."
Train me an elite army.
I will find a way to deliver the cannonballs, and I will give you the money.
You should know how powerful this artillery is. If you still rely on past combat experience to train the navy, all your money will be wasted.
In the future, when new weapons come out, even archers will be eliminated.
By the end of the year at most, weapons that can replace bows and arrows will be available."
"Yes, Wei Chen will change it immediately!"
Just as he was talking, the Vajra slave who had finished training hurried over. When he saw Zhu Jun, he was also happy, "Your Highness, why are you here!"
Even in front of outsiders, he didn't say anything about his brother-in-law.
"Come and take a look!" Zhu Jun said with a smile: "How are the eldest brother and the second brother doing in Fengyang?"
"Okay, big brother said that the Suzaku Army has the potential to become the most powerful army in the world!" King Kong Slave said.
"You have been training more recently. In three months at most, we will go straight to the pirates and catch them all!"
After returning from training at the naval base, Zhu Jun was determined to have an army on one hand, a navy on the other, and a world-famous general at his disposal.
Among the vassal kings, he is worthy of no one, and anyone dares to touch him!
Now, he is considered to be powerful.
It’s been nearly two years since I traveled through time, and I finally have the ability to protect myself.
...
At the same time, in the palace of Prince Yan in Beiping.
Zhu Di, who had just returned from the military camp, looked at the letter in his hand, his face as sinking as water!
"Who dares to touch my people?"
"Sai Haji said it was a mysterious imperial envoy, but no one knows who this imperial envoy is!"
"Father, why do you only stare at me? Are the other brothers honest?"
"Are you pretending to want to avenge Lao Liu and deliberately hit me?"
Zhu Di's face looked ugly, he walked quickly to the Buddhist hall and handed the letter to the great monk.
The elder monk sighed, "The junior monk doesn't know who this imperial envoy is, but judging from his methods, he is very sharp.
The enemy is in the dark, but we are waiting in the open. It is possible that this so-called imperial envoy is the person in front of me."
He pointed to the oil lamp and said, "It's the darkest here!"
"You mean, people from the Guards Department?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be someone from the Arch Guards Department, it could also be someone we are familiar with."
"who?"
"But there are too many people who are suspicious, it's hard to say!" The great monk said: "We might as well take another look. If there is no movement, it must be coming towards us."
"Ji Gang from Dongshan was transferred, and the Guards Department was promoted to the third grade of the Yamen. He was not promoted, and was transferred to a place where no one can shit!" Zhu Di took a deep breath, "What is this if not targeting?"
"How does your Majesty know that Ji Gang is one of ours?"
"So I am also doubtful." Zhu Di said: "My father and eldest brother may have such means."
"Didn't you say that King Qin has lifted the ban?" The great monk said calmly: "It is said that he beat King Qin's second concubine and made King Qin's second concubine kneel at the door of the Sixth Master's house to admit her mistake. She also kowtowed to express her regret to His Majesty.
If the former King of Qin was just an obstacle, then the King of Qin who has attained great enlightenment will be a formidable opponent."
"You mean, all this is my second brother's plan?"
"The only person who has no news these days is the King of Qin, who has been ignored by us." The great monk said: "Sai Hazhi said that it is very likely that he is from the King of Jin. The young monk thought that these two people should have reached some kind of agreement.
On the surface, the King of Jin seemed to respect the prince, but in reality he seemed to be incompatible with him.
King Zhou is in Ganzhou Mansion, and even if he is not cooperating with His Highness, he will not stab him in the back.
So the real culprits behind this should be King Qin and King Jin."
Zhu Di felt that what the great monk said was very reasonable.
"They were afraid, afraid that I would win the first prize!" Zhu Di clenched his fists, "So, they started to punish me.
Do you really think that the king doesn’t know about them?”
"This matter has to be started from the Suzhou prefect. Only by knowing who the imperial envoy is can we uncover the clues and identify the person behind it." The great monk sighed quietly, "The capital is about to be moved, and Enke will be opened again this year. It will be a troubled time.
"
"It is a good thing to move the capital, and it is also a good thing to open Enke. It just diverts everyone's goals." Zhu Di said confidently: "The rise of the great cause is unstoppable, and the rise of this king is also unstoppable!"
"It's good to have confidence, but Your Highness, those who stand out will rot quickly, so it's better to keep a low profile.
If we open Enke this year, we should put more people in.
