Chapter 915 Punishment, shame
As long as any durable product is not a rough one, after it breaks, the breakage will definitely be a mixture of old and new.
So after seeing that slightest, Fang Xing dared to determine the reason with certainty.
And there is another most critical reason, which is where Fang Xing is very calm from beginning to end.
"Your Majesty, the steel made of muskets is all from a furnace. In the later stage, there is a dedicated person to be responsible for every process. In the end, the gun test will be required. Such a complicated musket will either have an accident in a batch, and it is impossible that there will be only one!"
Fang Xing's tone was calm, as if he was reciting a travel notation.
"I have sent people to get three guns from the injured sergeant and the small flag, all numbers available. Please allow your Majesty to give you a test."
Zhu Di nodded, and Zhu Gaosui said anxiously: "Father, your safety..."
Zhu Di said coldly: "I have been on the battlefield, I have never seen any scenes!"
Fang Xing coughed dryly, then winked with the eunuch, and then went to the side hall. When he came back, there was already an extra piece in his hand...
"Hold it."
Fang Xing handed the steel plate to Zhu Zhanji uncomfortable.
Zhu Zhanji took it with a smile, and then stood beside Zhu Di with a steel plate, like a door god.
Zhu Gaosui blinked his eyes and said in disbelief: "Father, is this... a... a iron plate?"
Zhu Di also turned his head uncomfortable and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Jin Zhong nodded secretly. Fang Xing could take out the steel plate he protected without fear of being embarrassed. This is loyalty, a hundred times better than those righteous ministers.
Outside the hall, three soldiers from the Vermillion Bird Guard began to load under the supervision of Xin Laoqi, and the target was the wall in front.
For safety, Xin Laoqi had already drawn his sword with the guards around him and stood by. If these three people dared to turn the gun, they would be dismembered from the body.
"Bang bang bang!"
Three shots passed, and under Xin Laoqi's stare, the three of them continued to load and continue to shoot.
After seven consecutive rounds, the barrel was already very hot. Xin Laoqi called for a pause and immediately said: "Current and then test the maximum charge."
Fang Xing in the hall is also introducing the next step of the test.
"They will shoot with a rope and use a firearm to test the strength of the barrel, the first time being double-loaded."
"Bang bang bang!"
As he was speaking, there was even louder gunshots coming from outside. Later, Xin Laoqi came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the double-load barrel is still intact. I'll prepare to test triple-load."
"No!"
Zhu Di's eyes coldly swept over the ministers: "Fang Xing, tell me why he had put more medicine on."
Song Jianran blushed. Zhu Di didn't trust his ability! He actually gave the opportunity to explain to Fang Xing.
Fang Xing nodded and said, "At that time, the smoke of gunshots of the Vermilion Bird Guard suddenly became evacuated. I knew that it was because of my unfamiliar practice. Then the hundred households and the small banner officials would inevitably scold the soldiers, so the more they scolded, the more they became, the more they were filled, and finally they were loaded into the barrel, but forgot to load the medicine in the medicine pool..."
Fang Xing glanced at Song Jianran and continued, "After pulling the trigger, the sergeant found that it didn't turn off, and he would charge the medicine again in panic..."
"Why is there no rotation?"
As the Minister of War, Jin Zhong naturally knew the tactics of the musket array. After hearing this, he was worried that Fang Xing would make mistakes in his analysis, so he first triggered this topic.
Fang Xing smiled: "Mr. Song has been watching from the side, so I have to ask him."
After the accident, Song Jianran did not think about his mistakes, so he smashed the pot on Zhu Fang's head. If Fang Xing still covered him up, he would be stupid.
Song Jianran stood there at a loss. When Zhu Di's eyes turned, he stammered: "Your Majesty, I... the soldiers... are all worried that they will be dealt with if they don't fight."
"Didn't call it out?"
Yang Rong finally spoke out and asked in confusion.
Fang Xing explained as an expert: "The rotation of the musket array is a shooting surface. When someone in the middle doesn't shoot out, the firepower is not dense enough, and the enemy will have fish that escape the net rushing up. Therefore, during training, all soldiers who have this problem will be beaten with military sticks."
Zhu Di nodded slightly, feeling that such military rules were very necessary.
But before it was over, Fang Xing continued to show off the military rules of Jubaoshan Guard: "Some soldiers were too panicked and even forgot to take back the tills and shoot them out as soon as they fired. Such mistakes are also handled by military sticks."
Zhu Di looked at Song Jianran and frowned and said, "Did the Zhuquewei practice according to this?"
The Vermilion Bird Guard actually imitated Jubaoshan Guard, and the instructors at that time were all from Jubaoshan Guard, so they should not be unfamiliar with Caodian.
Song Jianran's forehead was already sweating. He saw those disappointed faces, Zhu Gaosui's indifferent expression, and Fang Xingyun looked outside with a calm wind.
"Your Majesty, yes, the Vermilion Bird Guards are practicing according to this."
"Come!"
Zhu Di's face was stern, and Song Jianran didn't dare to beg for mercy at all. He just knelt down and lowered his head, waiting for disposal.
"Take it out, you have a heavy responsibility!"
Zhu Di's voice seemed to have ice slag, but Song Jianran said ecstaticly: "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness. I will die before I will devote myself to it..."
Jin Zhong quietly touched Fang Xing with his arm, Fang Xing nodded, knowing his worries.
Without being dismissed, Song Jianran was able to make meritorious service and continue to command the Zhuque Guard. The main reason was that Zhu Di could not find a suitable candidate in his bag.
Zhu Di's eyes swept over the martial honors and shook his head indecisively.
Most of these people were developed during the Jingnan Campaign, and then they added their resumes in the Northern Expedition, and they were all generals on horseback.
However, these martial arts have always rejected the firearms and combat modes of Jubaoshanwei.
The sound of hitting military sticks outside was very dull, and the muffled groan of biting the wooden stick made Zhu Di even more annoyed.
"It's all gone!"
The ministers bowed and left the hall. When passing by the execution ground, Song Jianran tried hard to look up and smiled apologetically at Fang Xing. The sweat on his face immediately drowned out the smile.
"puff!"
"Um!"
Jin Zhong was a little disgusted with Song Jianran: "If it is not responsible, if it is still the case on the battlefield, it will be a hidden danger!"
Indecisive and dare not be a stubborn enemy, such generals have never been able to stand alone.
Fang Xing said: "He is just too utilitarian and is worried about being rejected by His Majesty. I hope he will remember this lesson."
All his face was lost, this is Fang Xing's evaluation of Song Jianran.
Whether it was a mistake in the front or a severe punishment by Zhu Di later, he was disgraced.
"Fang Xing!"
Zhu Gaoxu strode after him and said carelessly: "I see that Song Jianran is probably not convinced by the fact that he gathered Baoshanwei and wants to compete with you!"
Zhu Gaoxu hit the nail on the head, and Song Jianran had this mentality.
The Vermilion Guard is now like Zhu Di’s guards, but in the war between Korea and Yingzhou, the Vermilion Guard always felt that it was much worse than the Jubaoshan Guard.
"Then practice well, instead of thinking about showing off all day long!"
Fang Xing felt that Song Jianran was putting the cart before the horse. If he did not learn lessons, he would still fall apart in the future.
After winning a great victory, we should naturally be proud. Only then did we hide our complacent and prepare to go home to show off our two wives.
It’s just a pity that the two sons are too young! Otherwise, I could still brag about it.
"Fang Xing, I forgot to take your iron plate."
Zhu Gaoxu's kindness dispelled Fang Xing's pride. He pretended to be generous and said: "I'll give that thing to the grandson."
"Zhanji won't wear this thing."
Zhu Gaoxu's "chasing" made Fang Xing very angry, and he said angrily: "Does the prince want to cut off himself from the Fang family?"
Zhu Gaoxu licked his lips and said, "What's the matter? Let's go to your house to have hot pot, and Lord Jin will go with you?"
Jin Zhong waved his hand and said, "Xiaguan has a lot of things to do in his family. Thank you for your kindness."
