Seeing the flesh-and-blood body, Yu Feng felt sad in his heart. He sighed silently. Yu Feng walked forward and bent down to cover the body with a white cloth. Then Yu Feng raised his head and saw the other hungry wolves in front of him.
Jun's corpse. One white cloth after another came into view. Yu Feng walked towards the corpse closest to him with heavy steps.
Yu Feng bent over and lifted up the white cloth, and a young face came into view. The corpse's face was still angry and his eyes were wide open. Yu Feng silently closed his eyes with his hands and walked towards
Got the next body.
Young faces appeared one after another in Yufeng's sight. Some he could name famously, some he couldn't. But now these young lives were lost to protect themselves. Every corpse that Yufeng uncovered
Their eyes were wide open and their faces were ferocious, indicating that even when they were dying, they still did not give in and still wanted to continue fighting.
Yu Feng closed his eyes for them one by one, and the whole courtyard seemed extraordinarily serious and peaceful. Xiao Tieshou and the Imperial Guardsmen were also watching silently. The ordinary Imperial Guardsmen's affection for the young man in front of them continued to soar. He survived.
The hungry wolf army looked at each corpse with a touch of sentimentality, trying to remember them. Who are they? Brothers and sisters who joined the army together; who are they? Pao Ze who killed the enemy together on the battlefield; who are they? Last night
Brothers who are still eating from the same pot.
But now their siblings, their robes, and their brothers were lying so quietly in front of them. How could they not be sad? Xie Ye was also infected by this serious atmosphere and stood there, not daring to move for fear of blasphemy.
This serious atmosphere.
Yufeng walked very slowly, and his movements were also very slow. Yufeng tried hard to remember every young face. For a long time, Yufeng closed his eyes for the last corpse and then covered it with white cloth again.
At this time, Zheng Kang had to bite the bullet and said to Yu Feng: "Master Qiwei, thirty-two people in the Hungry Wolf Army died, fourteen were slightly injured and four were seriously injured. Two were killed in the Lijian Camp.
Thirteen and sixteen were slightly injured and eleven were seriously injured.”
Hearing Zheng Kang's words, Yu Feng's face twitched even though he had been prepared for it. Yu Feng said calmly: "Don't be stingy with gold coins when the best doctor comes."
"It's my lord." After responding, Zheng Kang hurriedly sent someone to handle it.
The injured Hungry Wolf soldiers and soldiers from the Sharp Sword Battalion were quickly placed in place. The doctor was also on the way.
The Imperial Guards on one side showed at this time that apart from the quality of professional soldiers, they were very indifferent to life and death. They pretended to be dead and treated the wounded, and everything seemed to be in order.
Yu Feng could no longer care about this. Yu Feng looked at the surviving Hungry Wolf sergeants in the yard and the remaining people from the Lijian Battalion who had taken care of the wounded. Yu Feng looked at the soldiers and realized that
Although the soldiers who survived the middle of the night battle looked tired, their expressions were determined.
"You leave Eleven to deal with the aftermath." Yu Feng opened his mouth to Zheng Kang's instructions and Zheng Kang hurriedly agreed.
"Master Qiwei, what about you..." Zheng Kang asked.
But Yu Feng didn't answer and strode forward. Understand, before Yu Feng took a big step, everyone's eyes were focused on Yu Feng. Taking a deep breath, Yu Feng pulled out the knife from his waist and roared:
"Tell me if you dare to fight?"
"Do you dare to fight?" The three Yufeng yelled out with all their strength, and the three echoes continued to echo in this quiet courtyard. "Do you dare to fight... Dare to fight?... Dare to fight...
.Do you dare to fight..."
When Jiang Zheng heard these three familiar people, he seemed to be transported back to the time when he faced Hu Qi in the wild in Northern Xinjiang. At that time, Yu Feng was the same as he is now. Many veterans like Jiang Zheng remembered that battle.
They shouted out loud: "Dare to fight...dare to fight...dare to fight..."
The remaining recruits and the soldiers from the Sharp Sword Battalion then shouted: "Dare to fight...dare to fight...dare to fight...dare to fight..."
Seeing this scene, Xiao Tieshou's brows furrowed deeply. He seemed to think that something bad would happen to Youma. The anger that Yu Feng had tried to suppress just now fully exploded: "Look at the brother who died just now, are we the same?"
What should be done for them?”
I don't know who was the first to shout "Revenge." What followed was a roar: "Revenge... revenge... revenge..."
Yu Feng deftly shouted at the anti-shengma: "Come out."
After saying that, he rode out of the yard. The remaining soldiers followed closely and quickly left the inn. The remaining ones looked at each other with neighbors and several Ouchi guards. One of the Ouchi guards with a gun asked: "Brother
what should we do?"
Xiao Tie shook his teeth and said, "Our order is to protect Yu Feng. This guy is too troublesome. Third child, fourth child, please leave me and the second child alone."
After hearing Xiao Tieshou's order, the two people who were called on them hurriedly opened their mouths and took orders to lead the people to deal with the aftermath. Xiao Tieshou took the Ouchi guard with a gun and followed them on horseback.
"Dong dong dong dong..." Horse hooves kept tapping on the ground. The few pedestrians on the street kept looking at this strange team with curious eyes. Fortunately, it was early at this time. Otherwise, how could Yu Feng lead people like this?
He was galloping recklessly through the streets.
Isn't Yufeng overwhelmed by hatred? His mind is extremely clear now and he knows very well that his target is Yufu. Yufu is located in the aristocratic area to the west of Di Du, where all the powerful families live in the same area.
The sound of hundreds of war horses beating on the ground woke up countless people. Some servants began to curse and opened the door to see who was so bold and wanton in this street. But they quickly closed it tightly.
Because they saw the overwhelming murderous intent of Yu Feng and his group, they closed the door of the mansion and ran inside in a pissed off state to report the news.
The tranquility outside Yufu was soon disrupted by the sound of horse hooves. The servants who got up early also opened the door a little to see who dared to run wild outside Yufu. But it was easy to open the door but difficult to close it.
Already.
Seeing that the government was about to close down, Yu Feng shouted: "Throw it away."
The cavalrymen in Yufeng's hands are now equipped with several short spears. After hearing Yu Feng's order, the people behind him hurriedly fired the short spears. Those who wanted to close the door were immediately frightened and ran inside.
"Ding ding ding ding" dozens of short spears hit the door of Yu Mansion hard and fell down, but the door was not closed. Yu Feng shouted: "Come in."
Then he led the people and rode into Yufu. The quiet Yufu was suddenly filled with excitement. Yufeng also felt a headache after entering Yufu because Yufu was so big that he could not find where Yu Ao was. At this time, a familiar figure
The figure came into Yufeng's eyes.
That person also noticed that Yu Feng and his group hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Master Feng, Master Feng." He couldn't help but shed tears in the corners of his eyes.
This person was Sun San. When Yufeng returned to Didu and entered Yufu, Sun San was the one who led the way. Later, Sun San has been serving as an errand beside Yufeng. At that time, it can be said that Sun San was the most proud of his time in Yufu.
At that time, Yu Feng and Yu Ao were in their honeymoon period. People looked at Sun San with jealous eyes and were jealous that he had climbed the big tree of Yu Feng so early. At that time, many little maids were blushing every day.
Sun San was constantly hanging around in front of him, and every day, the little girl from the kitchen would secretly bring some delicious food. Sun San's boss didn't dare to scold Sun San casually, and always kept a smile on his face when talking.
But then Yu Feng left too suddenly and left without enough time to arrange many things, including Sun San. Later, Sun San's life became sad. Everyone yelled at him. The little maids who used to be attentive to him are now
They all looked at him with contempt. His errands were also rearranged to be the most tiring and painful work. Sun San woke up from his dreams countless times, hoping that this was a dream.
Naturally, the half-dead Sun San, who was tortured in disguise every day, didn't know that Yu Feng was back. He had just finished emptying the toilet and heard the sound of horse hooves behind him. When he felt strange, he looked back and saw Yu Feng clustered in the middle.
Sun San pinched his face hard and found that it hurt. He hurriedly threw away the toilet in his hand and shouted and ran towards Yu Feng.
Yu Feng looked at Sun San from the horse and sighed with emotion. Seeing his haggard face and tattered clothes, he thought that he must have suffered a lot when he left in a hurry and didn't have time to arrange for him. It was too late to sigh. Yu Feng spoke.
Said: "Sun San takes me to find Yu Ao."
After hearing Yu Feng's words, Sun San was stunned. He had just noticed that Yu Feng and the cavalry behind him had murderous looks on their faces. Sun San was struggling in his heart. When Yu Feng saw this, he said: "
I will definitely take you away today."
After hearing Yu Feng's words, Sun San stamped his feet and thought of his own experience and said, "Master Feng, I will take you there." After that, he trotted ahead to lead the way.
"Follow," Yu Feng said, and the group followed Sun San. The servants they met along the way fled in a hurry when they saw the menacing group. Who is Yu Feng? The famous God of Death now sees Yu Feng leading the group.
The soldiers rushed in with a fighting spirit, and these servants were unable to escape and dared to stop them.
However, some guards began to slowly gather and constantly blocked the path of Yu Feng and his party. Yu Feng only had one "kill" for these people. The soldiers who received Yu Feng's order showed no mercy at all.
Sun Sun San was already being supported on horseback and was leading the way in front of him. Any guard who was blocking the way in front of him was actually shot out with short spears and sabers. Then there were continuous screams along the way. Finally, these guards were so scared that they did not dare to stop them. They had no choice but to move towards
Yu Ao's direction is concentrated.
It's natural for people to wake up earlier as they get older. Yu Zhan's anxious voice sounded outside the door: "Master... Master... Master..."
Yu Ao asked: "What's the matter?" He knew that if there was nothing special at this time, Yu Zhan would not wake him up at this time.
Yu Zhan said anxiously: "The Yufeng killers are coming."
"What?" Hearing Yu Zhan's anxious words, Yu Ao was also surprised and hurriedly put on his clothes. When he opened the door, shouts of death could be heard faintly. Guards kept gathering in the yard.
Yu Ao frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Yu Zhan said: "I don't know, I just got the news that Yu Feng has led this person in and is now rushing here..."
Yuba, who was sleeping, was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. Yuba opened his eyes and said displeasedly: "What's the matter?"
The anxious voice of the housekeeper came through the door, "Old... Master, something serious... It's not good. Yu Feng came in with his men."
The housekeeper also said with an unbelievable look. After hearing the housekeeper's shocking words, Yuba hurriedly put on his clothes, got up, opened the door and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "I didn't know that Yu Feng seemed to be possessed and just rushed in with his soldiers. All the guards who blocked him were killed."
Hearing the butler's words, Yu Ba was also shocked. The butler hurriedly said: "Master, let's hide quickly."
Hearing the butler's words, Yuba was just about to curse, but when he heard the sound of horse hooves and shouting outside, he listened and said: "You hear the sound seems to be heading towards the old man."
Hearing Yuba's words, the housekeeper also pricked up his ears seriously. Sure enough, he heard the shouting of killing in the direction of Yu Ao. The two of them couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Only then did Yu Ba realize that Beiliang was chilling.
Yu Feng is crazy. This was the first reaction of Yu Ba who calmed down...
Under the guidance of Sun San, Yu Feng had already seen the familiar building from a distance, and his heart was filled with ups and downs. At this time, Yu Ao, surrounded by everyone except the courtyard members, appeared in Yu Feng's sight.
The outermost guards around Yu Ao were holding the guy in their hands nervously, but their pale faces undoubtedly did not show the fear in their hearts. The people in the inner circle were servants with calm and silent faces, as if they were facing not hundreds of cavalry but hundreds of cavalry.
Just like hundreds of chickens and ducks.
"Stop." Yu Feng ordered, and several hundred cavalrymen stopped just like that. When Yu Feng and Yu Ao made eye contact, sparks flew out.
Or Yu Ao said: "What do you mean? Come to Yufu early in the morning to run wild."
But Yu Feng sneered and said, "I know it was you who did it."
Without giving Yu Ao time to interrupt, Yu Feng continued: "There is no need to deny that I know you were definitely involved last night."
Speaking without caring about Yu Ao's face, Yu Feng continued to speak: "The last batch of dead soldiers last night were exactly the same as professional soldiers. There is no one else but you who can take out these people in a short time."
At this time, Yu Ao said: "I don't know what you are talking about?"
Hearing Yu Ao's answer, Yu Feng sneered and said, "I know you were not the mastermind last night but just an accomplice. You made a good plan. If I die, it will be your wish. If I didn't die, you wouldn't have too much trouble."
Big loss. You must have thought that I wouldn’t come to trouble you before I found the mastermind..."
"It's a joke, I have no idea what you're talking about." Yu Ao said again.
But Yu Feng shook his head and said: "Do you think denying it will be useful? Do you think I won't come to you without evidence? Do you think I will swallow my anger and return to Northern Xinjiang..."
Yu Feng raised his voice and said: "You are very wrong. Some things do not require evidence. Since you have angered me, I will be prepared to bear my anger. No matter who you are, no matter how powerful you are behind me, I will only use the simplest method."
The way to retaliate is to kill them all.”
Yu Feng pointed the knife at Yu Ao and said murderously: "What does it matter if I kill you now?"
The cavalry behind Yu Feng was ready to go after hearing Yu Feng's words. The horse kept snorting and tapping the ground with its hooves, hoping that the master would let him run as fast as he could. Everyone else present thought that Yu Feng was crazy.
Who is Yu Ao? Now Yu Feng is pointing a knife and threatening to kill him. But if it were anyone else, everyone present would sneer at it.
But what Yu Feng said was that everyone present believed that Yu Feng did this. Yu Feng is a mad dog and does not care about the consequences. Yu Feng will lead hundreds of cavalry and rush over in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, Yu Ao is like this
Although there were hundreds of people on the side, they were all foot soldiers. The incident happened so suddenly that the power behind the scenes had no time to mobilize. There were only some overt forces present at the scene.
Yu Ao's face also kept changing. To be honest, he didn't expect the extent of Yu Feng's madness. Now it's natural for Yu Ao to fight with the tiger boy in front of Yu Ao.
Yu Feng was already ready to shout "kill", but at this moment, a duck-like voice suddenly rang out from behind, "The Holy One has a decree... The Holy One has a decree... Captain Xuan Yufeng quickly faced the Holy One..."
Captain Xuan Yufeng quickly met the Holy Spirit..."
The sound came before the person arrived. Hearing the eunuch's voice, Yu Feng finally swallowed the "kill" he was about to shout out. Yu Feng kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind as to whether he should rush to kill Yu Ao.
Lao Ming. In the end, reason prevailed over impulse. Yu Feng never let anyone charge.
Soon a eunuch and his men appeared in everyone's sight. They saw that the eunuch had his hat on his head and was panting continuously. When the eunuch came to the scene and found that the two people did not fight, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly.
He shouted: "Which one is Captain Yufeng?"
Yu Feng rode out and said, "I am."
Seeing Yu Feng on the horse, the eunuch felt displeased in his heart. However, looking at the hundreds of murderous eyes behind Yu Feng, the eunuch wisely said: "Yufeng Qiwei Shengxuan, please hurry up and face the saint without any delay.
Do you think we’re leaving right now?”
After hearing what the eunuch said, Yu Feng turned his head and looked at Yu Ao with a sneer and said, "You are lucky today."
Then Jiang Zheng said: "Take the people back first."
Jiang Zheng nodded to indicate that he understood. Yu Feng said to the eunuch who announced the order: "Father-in-law, leave now."
The eunuch who announced the decree was leading the way. Yufeng, Huang Yi and a few others followed closely behind. The bloody time ended in such an anticlimactic manner. He relaxed when he saw that Yufeng and his party were far away from Yu Ao's outermost guards.
After a breath, many people found that their backs were already chilly and the sweat on their foreheads had flowed down their cheeks to the ground.
Seeing Yu Feng and his party disappear from his sight, Yu Ao turned around and returned to his room without saying a word. Of course, Yu Zhan couldn't be as cool as Yu Ao and stood outside arranging the aftermath.
After a long time, Yu Zhan opened the door and saw Yu Ao who was in a daze and said, "Master."
Yu Zhan's cry brought Yu Ao back to reality. Yu Ao asked, "What's going on?"
"According to statistics, twenty-three guards were killed and seventeen were injured. Five maids and four servants were trampled and injured in the crowd."
After hearing Yu Zhan's report, Yu Ao also said feebly: "Just do whatever you have to do, don't let the people below feel cold."
"I know, sir." Yu Zhan said. Seeing Yu Ji's listless look, Yu Zhan was about to leave. When he was about to walk out of the room, he suddenly heard Yu Ao's voice from behind: "You said you were looking for him in the first place.
Did you do something wrong by coming back?"
But Yu Zhan shook his head and said nothing. Yu Ao just lost his composure and waved his hand to signal Yu Zhan to go down.
Yang Rui was looking at the two pieces of paper in his hand, and the man in black kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty punished me for my dereliction of duty this time..."
The man in black was chattering endlessly below, but Yang Rui's mind was completely attracted by the two thin pieces of paper in his hand. After a long time, the man in black kowtowed. Yang Rui finally took the two thin pieces of paper in his hand.
He put down the piece of paper and said, "I can't blame you this time. I didn't expect that someone actually dared to do it."
"Remember, there will be no next time..." Although there was no blame in Yang Rui's tone, how could the man in black who had followed Yang Rui for so many years not know Yang Rui's temper? He hurriedly said: "I'm going to investigate this person."
Something.”
Yang Rui nodded lightly and the man in black went down quietly. At this time, Yang Rui picked up the two thin pieces of paper on the table again and laughed heartily. The old eunuch who had just come in couldn't help but ask.
: "Why is Your Majesty so happy? I haven't seen Your Majesty behave like this in the past two days."
This old eunuch has also been following Yang Rui for decades, ever since Yang Rui was a prince, so only he dared to ask. Upon hearing the old eunuch's question, Yang Rui smiled heartily and said, "That's not it.
Yu Feng.”
"Oh, what did Yufeng do to make His Majesty happy?" The old eunuch also asked jokingly.
Yang Rui said: "Someone assassinated Yu Feng at the inn last night. It turned out that the hasty attack by Yu Feng's defenders could not organize an effective defense. But guess what?"
"How does this old slave know?" the old eunuch said with a smile.
Yang Rui was not surprised and continued to say with high spirits: "Yufeng quickly organized the chaotic army when he was in danger, and killed all his attackers..."
Of course things are not as simple as Yang Rui said, but Yang Rui is used to thinking that the old eunuch next to him is still the young eunuch who didn't understand anything, so he is also used to simplifying complicated things with simple and straightforward words.
speak out.
In the end, Yang Rui concluded: "It can be said that Yu Feng will definitely be an outstanding handsome man in the future."
"Isn't this the most important thing?" Yang Rui continued: "Do you know what Yufeng's troops shouted during the battle? It was 'Great Qin Wansheng'." At this point, Yang Rui's face showed a cheerful expression.
of smile.
The old eunuch also smiled and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting another pillar of the country."
After hearing the old eunuch's words, Yang Rui said: "The pillars of this country are not worrying at all. I just rushed to Yufu with my troops and now I don't know how things will turn out..."
Yu Feng took Huang Yi and others and followed the father-in-law who announced the decree all the way to the palace. When they arrived at the door, Huang Yi and others could not enter, so they could only wait outside. Yu Feng followed the young man who announced the decree.
The eunuch entered the palace.
Since Yang Ruixuan's decree was to allow Yufeng Huo to enter the palace without any delay, Yufeng was still dressed as last night. After struggling in the middle of the night and half the morning, Yufeng's face was already extremely haggard.
They were all stained with blood, and there were minced meat hanging in some places. The murderous aura that exuded thick blood all over his body did not decrease as time went by, but instead became more concentrated.
If it weren't for the father-in-law Yu Feng who was leading the way, he would have been torn into pieces and died...
When he saw Yufeng and Yang Rui in front of him, he frowned for a long time before saying, "You are confused."
Yu Feng remained silent but his face still had an unruly look.
Yang Rui also sighed...
Huang Yi led people to greet him at a royal palace in Yufeng. Yufeng said, "Go back."
After answering the inn, Yu Feng stayed behind closed doors. There was no reason why he had just been in the palace. Yang Rui had promised to let him return to Northern Xinjiang in a few days. Now Yu Feng is working hard to turn the fireworks that he just knew about into a weapon that can be used.
.
With fireworks, naturally there is gunpowder. With gunpowder, it is natural to think of artillery and fire systems. The technical difficulty of fire systems is relatively high. Dayu Feng first thought of artillery.
Many people's first reaction to the huge cannon is the famous red cannon. In fact, as early as 1332, China's Yuan Dynasty equipped the army with the earliest metal-barreled artillery: the bronze gun (105 mm caliber smooth-bore front-loading artillery)
). Relevant experts and scholars have determined that the newly discovered Yuan Dynasty fire gun in Inner Mongolia is the earliest copper fire gun with a clear dating found in China so far.
It is also the earliest artillery piece in the world known so far. This blunderbuss was discovered in July 1987 and stored in the Mengyuan Museum of Culture in October 1998. It was inspected by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in 2004.
The artillery found in Mongolia in the second year of Dade was jointly recognized as the world's earliest artillery by relevant scholars from the Historical War and Strategy Research Office of the Strategy Department of the Academy of Military Sciences and the Mongolian Studies Research Center of Inner Mongolia University.
The blunderbuss is shaped like a bowl mouth
The total length is 34.7 cm. Two lines of Pasiba inscriptions are engraved vertically on the body of the gun, indicating that it was made in the "second year of Dade".
That is, 1298. The Yuan Dynasty copper blunderbuss discovered in the past
The earliest object with a clear date is a bowl-mouth blunderbuss from the third year of Zhishun (1332), which was collected in the Museum of Chinese History in Beijing. ("Objects" magazine, Issue 3, 1962) The newly discovered Tongkou Qiu period in Inner Mongolia has been in China for a long time.
A projectile weapon is used - the gun. After gunpowder was used in the military in the 10th century at the latest, the gun was used to throw gunpowder packets and gunpowder bombs. At the latest, China has produced the oldest artillery - the fire gun.13
Artillery began to develop in Europe after China's gunpowder and firearms spread westward in the 14th century. In the half of the 14th century, Europe began to manufacture artillery that fired stone projectiles. In order to improve the adaptability of artillery firepower, modern artillery is equipped with ordinary grenades, armor-piercing projectiles, and armor-piercing projectiles.
In addition to illumination bombs and smoke screen grenades, it is also equipped with various long-range grenades, anti-tank mine bombs, anti-tank submunitions, terminally guided artillery shells, chemical artillery shells, nuclear bombs (see nuclear weapons), etc., so that the artillery can suppress and destroy distances from a few hundred meters to tens of thousands of meters.
A variety of goals in the Ming Dynasty. "The epitaph of Yuan Gong in the Ming Dynasty's Ministry of War Shangshu Jie" written by Kong Zhenyun in the Ming Dynasty: "The Duke (Yuan Keli) ordered to set up an ambush and set fire to the wind, set fire to the wild rice, and the grain was all burned in one torch. The slaves were even more angry than in the autumn."
The artillery was divided into two groups in order to retaliate."
There were centuries of experiments before gunpowder weapons were actually put into use. The biggest problems in developing gunpowder are fast ignition, uniform quality and powerful power. In addition, it is not easy to design a suitable artillery. If the design is not correct, it will not fire immediately. Due to the early impact of
The level of danger faced by those who fired artillery due to manufacturing technology was actually the same as that of bombarding the target. For example, in 1460, King John II of Scotland died when the cannon exploded while lighting the cannon. By the mid-15th century, artillery and gunpowder
The technology has reached its peak and has become an important weapon. The most obvious example is that in 1453, the walls of Constantinople were destroyed by large stone shells fired by the siege cannon. Although the fall of Constantinople
It seems that it was caused by the small city gate being blown open, but it can actually be attributed to the fact that the bombardment made the assault possible.
Artillery in the Middle Ages was used to bombard city walls during sieges and to fire at large numbers of enemy troops on the battlefield. They could accurately destroy the vertical outer walls of buildings inside the castle, so people developed low and sloping cannons.
Exterior walls replaced towering vertical
The outer wall of artillery. During this period, the role of artillery on the battlefield was limited because the artillery at that time was still very heavy and difficult to move to a new position to fire during combat.
Artillery in the Yuan Dynasty and the Early Ming Dynasty China invented and used artillery no later than the Yuan Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty and had mass production and equipment for troops. Records of the use of firecrackers in combat at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty have been recorded in "History of the Yuan Dynasty", "History of the Ming Dynasty" and other historical documents.
Cannons manufactured during the Yuan Dynasty and the Hongwu Period of the Ming Dynasty are often seen in museum collections across China. A bronze cup with the mouth inscribed "Zhishun Three Years" (1332) of the Yuan Dynasty is on display at the Museum of Chinese History.
The caliber of the gun is 105 mm, the barrel diameter is 75 mm, the total length is 35.3 cm, and the weight is 6.94 kg. The body of the gun is engraved with the three-line inscription "February of the third year of Zhi Shun, the third month of the Jiri Kou 300th Mountain". It is collected by the Military Museum of the Chinese People's Revolution
The large-mouth copper gun made in the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1372) has a diameter of 110 millimeters.
Body diameter 58mm, total length 36.5cm
Weighing 15.75 kilograms. The gun body is engraved with the inscription "Shui Zuo No. 42, the large bowl mouth barrel weighs 26 kilograms. Made by Baoyuan Bureau in December of the fifth year of Hongwu." Large bowl mouth copper gun unearthed in Guan County, Shandong Province
Bowl mouth diameter 119 mm
The total length is 36 centimeters and the weight is 15.5 kilograms. The body of the gun is engraved with the inscription "The Eleventh Year of Hongwu" (1378) and "Hai". These three guns are all made of copper and have a similar shape at the front end of the barrel, which is larger than the barrel.
The rear part of the barrel is a medicine chamber with an ignition hole for the lead wire. However, in the third year of Shun Dynasty, the wall of the barrel was thicker.
The craftsmanship is rough
The thickened wall of the gun barrel at the mouth of the Ming Dynasty has an obvious bulge in the medicine chamber, and several hoops are cast on the barrel, indicating that the latter can withstand greater chamber pressure. According to the "Ming Huidian", the Ming Dynasty before Hongzhi (1488-1505)
Among the various artillery pieces manufactured by the Ordnance Bureau, the number of large-mouth blunderbuss is 3,000 every three years.
Although the opening of the large-mouth gun is larger than the caliber of the barrel, it does not actually increase the power of the artillery. In the early Ming Dynasty, straight-cylindrical artillery with a longer barrel was manufactured. The Hongwu 18th year (5) unearthed in Kuancheng County, Hebei Province
A straight-cylindrical copper cannon with a caliber of 108 mm, a total length of 52 cm, and a weight of 26.5 kg. There is a thick hoop at the medicine chamber. This
The Shanxi Provincial Museum also collects three iron cannons with a caliber of 210mm made in the 10th year of Hongwu (1377).
Total length 100cm
There are double lugs on both sides for adjusting the firing angle of the artillery. The cannon body is inscribed with the inscription "Made in Jiping, Dingsi, Jiyue, the tenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty" (see the color picture [Iron cannon made in the tenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1377)]).
This is the earliest iron-cast artillery with lugs known in China so far. This large-caliber straight-cylindrical artillery will obviously increase the power of the artillery, indicating that ancient Chinese artillery has developed to a new level as early as the second half of the 14th century. The Ming Dynasty
In the early days, artillery had become an important piece of equipment for the army.
The fire created by the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau
There are more than ten kinds of cannons, such as the cup-mouth cannon, the bowl-mouth cannon, the divine machine cannon, the whirlwind bronze cannon, and the general cannon (the word "general" is often used as a title for a more powerful artillery). In the 12th year of Yongle (1414), Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty
During the second expedition to Mobei, artillery was used to defeat the enemy; in the 14th year of Zhengtong (1449), Yu Qian's guard at Bei Jing used artillery and other firearms to defeat the Wa army's attack.
Artillery in the late Ming Dynasty began in the 1620s. Chinese artillery still developed. The Tiger Crouching manufactured during the Jiajing period
It is 1 foot 9 inches long (approximately 0.6 meters) and weighs 36 kilograms (approximately 21.5 kilograms). It is equipped with iron claws, and large iron nails can be used to fix the gun body to the ground before firing.
shaped like tiger
This kind of gun overcomes the shortcomings of large recoil and violent beating when firing. According to "Ming Huidian·Ministry of Industry"
The "poison fire flying" made in the fourth year of Jiajing (1525)
Cannon barrel made of wrought iron
Load more than ten gunpowder
The cannonballs are made of cast iron and are filled with five ounces of "arsenic and sulfur poison".
After igniting, "the flying will be blown to pieces two hundred steps (about 330 meters) away and hurt people." This is the earliest record of artillery firing explosive bombs in ancient China. During the Wanli period, a large number of artillery with longer barrels was also manufactured. Wanli
The "Tian 135 General" iron cannon manufactured in Hangzhou in the 20th year (1592) has a caliber of 113 mm and a total length of 143 cm. The ratio of the length of the barrel to the diameter is significantly increased. The barrel has nine hoops cast with
There are two iron rings attached to the ears of the cannon. This kind of iron cannon was used by the Ming army during the Wanli period when it fought to aid Korea.
