Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Six: Victory

The setting sun stretched out everyone's figures, dispelling the swell of gunpowder and blood mist.

Those who were amazed had already left and went to Fengtian Palace. Only a group of eunuchs from the Divine Palace were left, carrying buckets and wiping hairs, struggling to smooth out all the traces here.

In the open position, the eunuchs would never dare to approach. Because a team gathered there, and the Jinyiwei Qianhu Hao Fenglou, who was like a god of killing, looked at them and everyone in the musket team.

Most of these people have not lost their childishness, and many dull people have not yet recovered.

I entered the palace in a confused manner, saw countless people, and "acted" in the palace in a confused manner, and then beat the iron cavalry to pieces. Someone was cheering in my ears, and the look of looking at them became awe.

Everything came too quickly, and it was a bit uncomfortable for most of them who had long been forgotten.

But at this moment, Young Master Hao smiled.

When everyone saw Mr. Hao smiled, they finally felt relieved.

Hao Fenglou said lightly: "In today's battle, what has changed is not the fate of Mr. Hao alone, but you are also the ones who have changed. From then on, you are no longer unknown. This is all the words. Now everyone leaves the palace and is led back to the camp. What happened today is just a dream."

With a command, the musket team began to put away the muskets. Everyone seemed very serious. They straddled the exquisite musket on their backs, checked the gunpowder bag and iron strips, and then lined up to leave the city.

Hao Fenglou stood there for a moment, and he took a deep breath. Today is like a dream for these people, but for themselves, isn’t it the same?

Now... the musket team and the blacksmiths handed over a perfect report card. This result was even far beyond Hao Fenglou's original estimate. He still despised the function of the musket. Perhaps it was because he had traveled too long and had long forgotten the huge impact on the knight after the appearance of the real musket.

In short, a fully armed knight spent almost countless manpower and material resources to cultivate it. It was a complete set of armor and a horse, which was definitely a luxury in this era. However, such a cavalry was vulnerable to a musketeer who only needed to undergo a certain professional training. What does this mean?

Hao Fenglou suddenly realized that he seemed to be underestimating himself too much, because after the battle, his eyes passed through the crowd and glanced at Zhu Di. Zhu Di's face was extremely shocked, and Hao Fenglou understood this person. Although this person had an emotional side most of the time, when he was really shocked, he always had the indifference of taking weights. The more he did this, the more Hao Fenglou believed in the shock that Zhu Di was subjected.

It seems...it's time to face the problems in the temple.

At this time, an eunuch came towards him, and it was Zheng He.

Zheng He's eyes were red with anger and almost stamped his feet: "Hao Qianhu, His Majesty and the ministers are waiting in Fengtian Palace. Go quickly, why are you still delaying?"

I think it's not just Zheng He who is anxious to wait.

Hao Fenglou had to speed up and couldn't help asking: "Junior brother, what do you say in the palace?"

Zheng He said: "Your Majesty does not speak, and the ministers are also silent. However, several governors and commanders are discussing."

A fierce discussion was imperative, which was also in line with Hao Fenglou's estimate. The Yongle Dynasty was an era of gathering famous generals. In this era, I don't know how many famous generals were born. The reason why the powerful generals were strong was the infection of the atmosphere. It can be imagined that when the emperor was fond of martial arts, he took his younger brothers out to smash people every few days. The so-called King of Chu was very thin and starved to death in the palace, and he did not know that the nobles and heroes were not happy with military and martial arts. If the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty loved to play birds in later generations, then the current Jingnan nobles were mostly still interested in discussing military affairs. Not only did they like to go up and use swords to cut people, but also became their leisure entertainment hobby.

Hao Fenglou arrived at Fengtian Hall all the way. Zheng He went in to report and immediately pulled him in.

The atmosphere in the hall can be said to be a world of ice and fire. On one side are civil officials, who look at their noses and their hearts, and act in a calm manner, and they are not concerned about their own affairs. On the other side, there is a fierce discussion.

Then he heard Zhang Fu say, "This musket is good, but it also has its disadvantages. This battle is very exciting and amazing. But don't forget that this battle can win a great victory and be unscathed. The reason why the three guards of Duoyan were severely damaged is because of the limited venue. If there was a vast field, tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over and covered the mountains and fields, can the musket team block it? The venue is limited, so it has to rush intensively. It cannot intercept the left and right wings, nor can it attack the rear team in a circle..." Zhang Fu was a general, and he said it was very clear.

Even Hao Fenglou thought it made sense. After all, this is just a matchup, not a real rush. The advantage of the cavalry lies in maneuver. If you are strong, I will run away. You can't beat me and chase me. But once you have a loophole, you can fight hard. The impact from all directions is everywhere, as long as you tear a hole in a certain place, you can defeat you.

So after all, the advantage of muskets is very high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the nemesis of cavalry. However, many places have not yet been improved, and it will take some effort to completely suppress them.

Zhang Fu's father was born in a cavalry. Out of his love for the cavalry, he couldn't help but jump out at this time. Fortunately, he was very talkative. Many people couldn't help but nod. Zhang Fu was also very comforted. Seeing Hao Fenglou coming in, he couldn't help but say proudly: "It just so happened that Hao Qianhu is here. I'll ask you, Hao Qianhu, does my words make sense just now?"

Hao Fenglou said: "What the general said makes sense."

Zhang Fu's face was lustful.

But the next moment, Hao Fenglou said again: "It's just that the improvement of this musket is actually just a temporary response to Annan, not a direct response to the Northern Yuan Dynasty. When you deal with the cavalry in the future, you can make another plan. You must do your best to improve the performance of this musket. As for Annan, Annan has many infantrymen and almost no decent cavalry. Such muskets will definitely work miraculously. I wonder what the general thinks?"

Zhang Fu was stunned for a moment, his face turned slightly red. He had no intention of competing with you at all. He was studying the problem of Nanzheng, but he just made a lot of talk, which seemed a bit inferior.

Hao Fenglou immediately said: "It's rainy in Annan, so the gunpowder of the musket has been specially sealed and treated with certain sealing, that is, wrapped in oil paper to form wax balls, which not only greatly improves the speed of the drug, but also prevents the gunpowder from getting damp. In addition, it is equipped with iron bars at the same time as the musket, which are specially used for loading and loading ammunition, and has excellent effect."

Before everyone can ask, Hao Fenglou has seen everyone's interest in muskets, so he straightforwardly explained the structure and performance of the firearm.

"Don't think that it's easy to open the iron bar. Just a simple iron stick can greatly reduce the speed of filling medicine. In fact, if you want to use the iron bar, Husband and the craftsmen have spent more than ten days. The inside of the gun barrel of my Ming Dynasty was mostly uneven. This not only made the body of the gun was not reliable enough, but also greatly hindered the use of the iron bar. Think about it, put the plug of the iron bar into the uneven gun barrel. Even if you can insert it, can you pull it out?"

When everyone heard this, they understood, and many people smiled.

Zhu Neng's smile was really bright. What he had a headache about Nanzheng. As the head coach, he was very clear that it was impossible to win any war. Now he has achieved success and has no hope that a Nanzheng would go wrong and ruin his reputation for life. In addition, the court has rushed to move troops now, which has made him feel a little uneasy recently, afraid of something. Now it seems that such a musket is really a powerful weapon to deal with the Annan people, and the chances of Nanzheng's victory have been greatly improved.

As for Hao Fenglou's application of iron rods, he also had a clear understanding of the application of iron rods. An iron rod on the surface is indeed not simple. If you want to use iron rods, you must smooth the inner wall of the gun barrel. This is the concept of smooth bore, but in terms of technology, it is not so easy. Why hasn't a smooth bore musket appeared for so many years? Now this kind of musket has emerged, which is really eye-opening.

Zhu Neng hesitated for a moment and suddenly stood up. He looked at Hao Fenglou, then bowed to Hao Fenglou and said seriously: "Hao Qianhu, there were many places where words collided before. Although I was not old, I also missed my mistakes. Zhu was completely convinced by your musket. If the Nanzheng is completed in the future, then you will be the first to achieve your achievements. I would like to thank you for the tens of thousands of Nanzheng soldiers."

Demeanor...this is demeanor.

The civil and military ministers in the hall stopped whispering, and a smile flashed across Zhu Di's face.

When Zhu Neng held his hands, Hao Fenglou naturally would not accept it stupidly. Instead, he leaned his body and showed a sense of not accepting it. He immediately replied: "What kind of virtue is the best? It is just a few tricks. If there is still a place to be used for the southern expedition in the future, the humble one must do his best. This southern expedition is related to the fate of the country and the face of the emperor. Only a great victory can never be made any mistakes. Your Majesty asked Duke Cheng to take charge, which shows the strength of this battle. I heard that Duke Cheng will go south in a few days. Today, I will take this opportunity to wish you a victory and a show of our country's power!"

This response was extremely reasonable. If it was so pleasing, it naturally attracted a lot of praise.

Especially a group of people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army, their favorability towards Hao Fenglou has increased a lot, and Zhang Fu, who, although he has many complaints about Hao Fenglou, had to look at him with admiration at this time.
