In spring, the sky is green, and the flowers are like the sea, giving birth to a vibrant scene. However, the Jinyiwei had no intention of watching, and stayed overnight in the morning, rushed to chase and headed southwest.

Although he was anxious, Zhu Youcheng still paid attention to controlling the speed of the march and did not hurt the horsepower due to the temporary speed. Last time the Juehua Island Battle, a large number of Jiannu war horses were seized. Not to mention one person and two horses, even one person and three horses were more than enough. However, Guizhou is a mountainous area, with rugged and steep roads, which are not conducive to galloping, so Zhu Youcheng did not bring a replacement horse, but one person and one horse.

Like King Xin, Zhu Youcheng and the Jinyiwei also sang all the way. The garrisons along the way thought this was a group of young masters, but when they saw their strict military appearance and murderous aura, they felt a trembling heart, and knew that these soldiers might not be easy to mess with. The camps built by the Jinyiwei were even more defensive. Whether in the wilderness or next to the bustling market, they were wartime standards. Not to mention spies, even flies - well, they could still fly in. Yu Jiayan has been deeply troubled by flies recently. His scalpel is stained with too much blood, and as long as he is not careful, there is a layer of flies on it. Spring is here, everything is revived, and all these pests hidden in the corners have also ran out. Just like An Bangyan, although it is not very lethal, it is also very annoying.

There is a toll road from Beijing to Huguang. It was built jointly by him and Lord Jingcheng. The road is flat and there is a station next to it, so the supply is very convenient. The Jinyiwei did not suffer along the way, and the speed was very fast. Sometimes, he could run 120 miles a day.

The good times did not last long. After passing Changde, the toll road was gone, leaving only the official road. Although the official road was spacious, the road was uneven, and the sky was gray on sunny days. It was a piece of mud on rainy days. It was okay for the horses to fall, but the carriage was in trouble. Not only did the speed drop, but it was also very bumpy, which made people afraid that the car would fall apart. Fortunately, the car had been reinforced by the blacksmith, otherwise they would have to go all the way and repair it all the way.

Zhu Youcheng knew that the road in Guizhou was difficult to move, but he didn't expect that before he arrived in Guizhou, the road would be like this. In case of precautions, he brought a hundred craftsmen to repair weapons, carriages and so on the road. These craftsmen were rescued by Jiannu. They had long cut off the pigtail horse on their heads. Now their hair has not grown in full, and everyone's heads are furry, just like little hedgehogs.

With the craftsman, Zhu Youcheng was not afraid. Anyway, he had been repairing all the way, and these craftsmen could use axes and saws to make easy-to-run carts. Now they have complete tools, can't they repair the carts well?

However, God seems to be unable to see Zhu Youcheng leisurely, it has created new troubles and fatal troubles for Zhu Youcheng.

When he arrived at Yongshun Xuanwei Office (today's Xiangxi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture), it started to rain. It was raining heavily. Zhu Youcheng was trapped in the city and could not move forward. Zhu Youcheng had never seen such heavy rain since the Ming Dynasty. He immediately realized that it seemed that the prelude of the troubled times had finally begun, and the worst time of the Little Ice Age was finally here.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it seemed that the sky was about to destroy the Ming Dynasty. The temperature in the whole of China was lower than now, and the south was flooded and the north was drought. As a result, the Ming Dynasty's economy finally collapsed during the Chongzhen period, and peasant uprisings began one after another. Jiannu took the opportunity to pick up the bargain, stealing the Ming Dynasty's territory, killing countless Han people. He dragged China into the abyss of backwardness and finally became a burial object for Jiannu.

Zhu Youcheng knew that it was raining in the south, so he prepared straw raincoats for every Jinyiwei before leaving Beijing, but the rain was too heavy and the strawcoats could not be stopped. Besides, the road was muddy and slippery, and it was necessary to brave the heavy rain to walk the steep mountain road, which could easily cause traffic accidents. Zhu Youcheng asked the soldiers to rest in the small town of Xuanwei Office in Yongshun for two days.

The heavy rain blocked Zhu Youcheng's two-day itinerary, which was not important. It would take a few days to walk there. On the third day, the sky finally cleared up and the sun shone brightly.

Zhu Youcheng was about to lead the soldiers, but Chen Guoqi suddenly walked into the commander's tent in a panic and said, "Mr. Zhu, something is not good!"

Zhu Youcheng was shocked and asked, "Is it because the Miao people want to rebel?"

"What, the Miao people want to rebel? Why don't I know about this?"

Zhu Youcheng was relieved and as long as the southwest was peaceful, otherwise one thief would be eliminated and another would be too sad.

He took a sip of tea and taught Chen Guoqi seriously, asking him to be handsome and not to have a small matter like falling into the sky and falling to the ground. He completely forgot who saw the wind and rain just now, and guessed there.

Chen Guoqi did not dare to speak. After Zhu Youcheng finished speaking, he said, "Sir, something really happened. Our muskets cannot be fired."

With a "bang", Zhu Youcheng fell off the chair, and Chen Guoqi hurried forward to support him.

"Quick, hurry, take me to see."

Chen Guoqi brought Zhu Youcheng to the army, and the soldiers were indeed frowning. They held muskets, aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, but there was no reaction at all. A few bold ones took muskets and fired guns into their eyes, hoping to see something wrong.

Zhu Youcheng frowned and Chen Guoqi blushed. This time he was embarrassed. Zhu Youcheng had already said that no matter what the firearm had, he would not aim at himself or his comrades.

Chen Guoqi shouted: "Law enforcement team, aim those muskets at their fools and drag them out and hit twenty military sticks."

Several Jinyiwei with red armbands stepped forward and dragged the soldiers who were ignorant of their lives out.

Zhu Youcheng asked, "What happened?"

"Sir, this morning, Wang Feng discovered a tiger outside the city. He thought of killing a tiger to offer it to the adults. But as soon as he fired the gun, he found that the bullet could not be fired. Even three bullets were useless. He borrowed someone else's musket, but found that it could not be fired. The soldiers from thousands of households thought it was strange and tried the muskets, but no one could be fired." A clever soldier replied.

Zhu Youcheng took a musket, opened the back cover, poked the bullet stuffed in with a strip, replaced it with a new bullet, and then closed the back cover. He picked up the musket, aimed at the city wall, and pulled the trigger. It was silent and nothing happened except for the crisp sound of the trigger.

Zhu Youcheng thought, soldiers love to protect muskets, just like they care about their own eyes, and never leave their bodies for a moment. The possibility of damage from outsiders should be ruled out. Besides, how much time does it take to destroy all muskets if they fail? Moreover, this is a new type of musket. Outsiders can get muskets and they can't even fire guns, let alone destroy them.

Zhu Youcheng opened the back cover and poked the smelly bullet out. He carefully observed the back of the bullet and found that the bottom of the bullet was a little wet.

He asked someone to take an oil lamp and use chopsticks to hold the bullet. He roasted the bottom of the bullet on the light for a while. The bottom of the bullet was coated with a very easy-to-ignite base fire, which had already caught fire under normal circumstances. After a while, the bottom fire of the bullet finally caught fire, ignited the bullet and made a crisp burst sound. Because the outside of the bullet was covered with oil paper, the gun barrels were used to set up a confined space, causing an explosion. Now the bullet was taken out, and although it was burning violently, it did not explode.

"The reason was found. The rain wet the bullet bag and the bottom fire of the bullet was damp, so the musket could not fire." Zhu Youcheng threw away his chopsticks and said.

He ordered a soldier to go to the baggage truck to get some bullets that were not affected by moisture.

Unfortunately, the bullets that were not affected by moisture still could not be fired.

There is no problem with the bullet, so the problem lies with the musket. He opened the back cover, pulled the trigger, and the trigger made a crisp knocking sound. No problem. No, the muskets are now primitive muskets. The principle is to use Mars to ignite the bottom fire, and then pull the trigger will definitely splash around. Of course, there is no way to fire bullets without Mars.

Zhu Youcheng finally understood where the problem occurred. Heavy rains have been falling in the past two days, and the rain has wet the muskets and bullets, and the new muskets have been unable to be fired. God’s power is really not to be underestimated. Is his rifled musket powerful? He is blind when it comes to heavy rain.

Zhu Youcheng had a headache. What the Jinyiwei was most proud of was its long-range attack ability. Whether it was the rifled musket, grenade, tiger squat cannon, or nine-section steel cannon, it could beat the barbarians to the point of falling. This is also why he dared to take 5,000 troops to aid Guiyang. However, the musket was unable to be used. It was nullified that the barbarians' bows and arrows could not be used in wet weather, so everyone was even.

The Jinyiwei is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat. Before there is no horse, it is trained to cooperate with the attack of infantry spear phalanxes. After having cavalry, it is trained to impact and drilling tactics of cavalry. If five thousand vs. five thousand, the Jinyiwei will win easily. But what about five thousand vs. one hundred thousand?

Zhu Youcheng returned the muskets to the soldiers and paced back and forth. The battle with fewer victory and more was the most famous one. Fu Jian led a million troops to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Eastern Jin Dynasty faced the enemy with 80,000 troops. As a result, a million troops were defeated, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty won both clean and beautifully. The reason for Fu Jian's failure was that there were too many miscellaneous troops in the army, which affected the combat effectiveness of elite soldiers, and he was defeated in a mess.

He was moved in his heart, wasn't it the same? An Bangyan gathered 100,000 troops to besiege Guiyang, but he had no progress for ten months. His combat effectiveness was evident. The Yi people were different from Jiannu. The Yi people were mountain people, and they were mobs when they gathered; Jiannu was robbers, and they were robber groups when they gathered. The combat power of the two was not the same. Therefore, the Five Thousand Jinyiwei would lose a lot against the 100,000 Jiannu, but the Five Thousand Jinyiwei would face the 100,000 Jiannu, and the result would be very different. Otherwise, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry would not have the ability to sweep the southwest. The reason why the Ming Dynasty was difficult to wipe out the rebels was mainly because An Bangyan saw that the situation was not good, so that the Ming army would not find him. If he had a dignified duel, he would have died hundreds of times long ago.

Zhu Youcheng's face was full of worries and said loudly: "All the Jinyiwei guards should pay attention to it. Open the back cover of the musket and dry it on the back. As long as it is sunny for several days, the perineum inside the musket will naturally dry out, and then you can use the musket again. Brothers, it's time to distinguish between the barbarians with swords and guns. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!" Jinyiwei replied like a tsunami.

"Yes, don't be afraid. The barbarians are all mobs. Although there are many people, their combat effectiveness is just a scumbag. We must teach them what an army is and what combat is."

The Jinyiwei shouted again.

Zhu Youcheng led the soldiers to embark on the journey again, losing the muskets, and the close combat between the Jinyiwei and the Yi people would certainly lose some soldiers, but the soldiers tempered by blood and fire in this way are the elite soldiers among the elite soldiers.

Yi Ren, what a good whetstone. With them, the Jinyiwei can grow faster and become a natural enemy among Jiannu's natural enemies and a nightmare in nightmare. (To be continued, please search Piao Tianwen, the novel is better and faster!
