"Zhang Futai, who are these dark things?"

"Mrs. Ma, these are six big black pots!"

"Black pot? This is... for the imperial kitchen?"

"Yes, yes, it was used in the imperial dining room and was used to stew soup for the emperor. It is said that it was passed down from the reign of Emperor Taizu Gao!"

"Oh, it's an ancestral black pot? No wonder it's so strong!"

"Of course, it's a royal thing..."

In the courtyard where the Emperor of Langzhong was walking, a Sichuan governor, a Tongzhi Sichuan headquarters officer, and a military general counselor in front of the tent were standing beside six 24-pound mortars and talking nonsense.

Oh, it’s not nonsense that is completely unfounded, but it is nonsense that is well-founded. Because Zhu Youjian saw that the mortar looked like a scapegoat, so he officially named it "Taizu's scapegoat." Because

These six black pot cannons were Zhu Youjian's secret weapons used to quell the Anshe Rebellion, so they had to be kept secret, so they were called "black pot" to the outside world, omitting the word "cannon".

Of course, the black pot is not meant to be carried... How heavy is the black pot used to fire 24 kilograms of wooden shells? No one can carry it! Therefore, people who are not very knowledgeable in the emperor's business just take it for granted.

These six "pots" are the large black cast-iron pots used for stewing soup in the imperial dining room.

Although these six "black pots" are secret, they are not hidden from anyone. Moreover, the artillery still has to train! The roar that can often be heard in Langzhong City these days is the result of these six "black pots"

Conduct shooting training.

This morning, these six "black pots" have just been taken out for training. After returning, they will need to undergo routine maintenance. They need to be polished and polished, and a thin layer of grease must be carefully applied to prevent rust. The gun mount (mortar)

The gun does not have a wheeled gun mount, but it still has a strong wooden gun mount) and must be carefully inspected. If it is damaged, it must be repaired or replaced with a new gun mount in time. After the maintenance work is completed, if it does not rain, the six-gun "

The "black pot" has to be placed in the courtyard, waiting for Zhu Youjian to inspect it - the "black pot" artillery team is a newly built unit, and the "black pot" artillery is new equipment. Because it is a direct-firing artillery, it is easier to use than a direct-firing artillery.

The 3-pounder gun is even more troublesome to aim at. Even Zhu Youjian himself is not very good at using it.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian also equipped these six "black pot" cannons with wooden support shells that required high confidentiality. Therefore, he could not ask the foreigners Sun Dapao invited from Macau to help with training, so he had to personally lead a team from the Youth Army.

I explored it together with the artillerymen selected from the young guards.

Now the maintenance of the six black pots has been completed, but Zhu Youjian and several Mongolian concubines have not returned from playing on Panlong Mountain, so the six black pots are left in the yard for people to enjoy casually.

Qin Liangyu was also very curious. After following Gao Hongtu and Zhang Lu into the courtyard, they saw these six big black pots at a glance, so they started asking.

While the three people were chatting, a uniform shout suddenly came from outside: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

It turns out that Zhu Youjian came back from hunting!

Gao Hongtu, Zhang Lun, and Qin Liangyu stopped studying the blame, turned around, and walked out of the gate again, ready to pick up the driver.

Qin Liangyu has never seen Zhu Youjian in the past. Of course, this time he has to take a closer look at what this "dark and awake" guy looks like?

The reason why Zhu Youjian is said to be dim and clear at times is because Sichuan Shilin's evaluation of Zhu Youjian was very erratic. When Zhu Youjian killed Wei Zhongxian with his sword, everyone was looking forward to him, thinking that the Ming Dynasty

Mingjun finally appeared!

But for nearly a year afterwards, the wise king who killed Wei Zhongxian neatly seemed to have nothing to do. He did not even clean up the eunuchs in the court, nor did he bring order to the chaos and vindicate the Donglin gentlemen.

He ignored the war in the southwest. No matter how the local officials in the southwest called for Zhu Xieyuan to be reinstated, he ignored them and continued to reuse Zhang Heming, who did not know how to fight.

And just when the people of Sichuan had no hope for the little emperor Chongzhen, something shocking happened. The little emperor actually ignored the dissuasion of the cabinet ministers and only brought the so-called cavalry in front of the tent to fight with the emperor personally.

The Mongols who invaded Datong fought with tens of thousands of Han troops!

When the news reached Sichuan, the entire province was in an uproar! Both officials and gentry thought that the young emperor was going to follow in the footsteps of Ming Yingzong.

But the development of things was once again unbelievable. It turned out that the young emperor was not Ming Yingzong, but Sailu Bu! He took the lead in Datong, led his army to break out, killed the most powerful Mongolian warrior, and captured Wanhu of the Han army alive.

The princess of the army! She also drove the Mongolian tiger and rabbit Dun Khan out of the Great Wall. Later, she went for a walk on the grassland and had a marriage alliance with the Mongolian Han tribe...

The officials, gentry and even chieftains in Sichuan felt petrified when they heard the news.

This little kid emperor is really crazy, he is just doing all kinds of things!

What’s even more exaggerated is that although this misbehaving little emperor acted outrageously, he was reliable on the battlefield!

No matter whether the enemy is the Great Khan of Mongolia, the Great Khan of Jin, or the bandits from the northwest, they can all defeat him!

In fact, although the officials and gentry in Sichuan all hope that the Ming Dynasty will produce a wise and patriotic emperor, they don't have much hope... Emperor Chongzhen has a child emperor who has never been in the palace. How wise can he be?

If you don't act recklessly and can live a peaceful life, everyone will feel good about it.

But no one expected that this little emperor of the Ming Dynasty would be the most mischievous emperor after the old man Chengmiao!

Moreover, his fighting ability is close to that of Taizu, and he will become an ancestor...

But the problem is that the chaos in the southwest cannot be settled quickly just by being able to fight. No matter how good you are as a little emperor, how can you still stay in Sichuan?

To settle the situation in the southwest, you need to have clever means!

When Qin Liangyu was thinking about these things, Zhu Youjian had already arrived on horseback and was walking outside the door, followed by three Mongolian noble concubines such as Su Tai, Batma Hong, Zhong Muna, and a group of cavalry in front of the tent.

Zhu Youjian also saw Qin Liangyu from a distance - an aunt over 1.80 meters tall who would attract attention wherever she placed her!

"But Mrs. Shizhuma?" Zhu Youjian asked as he quickly dismounted from his horse and stood firmly in front of Qin Liangyu, Gao Hongtu and Zhang Lun.

The three of them bowed to Zhu Youjian, and then Qin Liangyu looked at Zhu Youjian, who was only slightly shorter than himself but equally tall and strong, and replied: "I am Qin Liangyu."

"So tall!" Zhu Youjian looked at Qin Liangyu, who was like a giant, and said with a smile, "The Ming Dynasty can still have the land of Bashu, and Mrs. Ma is indispensable! When I was in the north, I wanted to ask Mrs. Ma to go north to discuss the southwest.

Military, and worried that the southwest would not be without Mrs. Ma for a day. This time I finally got a chance to talk to Mrs. Ma!"

Then he said to Gao Hongtu and Zhang Lun: "You two should also come together to discuss... The strategy for the southwest will be decided today!"

He sounded confident. Not to mention Zhang Lun, a civil servant, even Qin Liangyu, the most capable Tongzhi general in the southwest, only frowned. How could the southwest be so easy to decide?

The terrain in the southwest is no better than the grasslands, and the enemy has no place to hide. As long as the cavalry is powerful, they can be captured in one fell swoop.

In the southwest, there are mountains connected with mountains, and between the mountains are valleys that can support people. Each valley has a deep-rooted chieftain or a minister of health... and there are several generations of each other.

A good marriage alliance has long formed an intricate network, which is extremely difficult to shake.

While Qin Liangyu was thinking about it, she had followed Zhu Youjian into the Xingzai gate and arrived in front of the six black pots. At this time, Zhu Youjian suddenly stopped and started to check the black pots. While checking, he said: "

Mrs. Ma, do you have an unmarried daughter or unmarried niece?"

What? Why did the emperor ask this question? Qin Liangyu was stunned and looked up at the little emperor who was checking around a black pot. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Chapter completed!
