Chapter 403 Deterrence
In the next few days, Tuotuo visited the beautiful scenery of all sizes of the entire capital, but did not mention the matter of being strong in the army at all.
Seeing that Tuotuobuhua was like this, Jiang Lang and others naturally fell into purity, but they did not relax their vigilance at all. They secretly sent someone to secretly Tuotuobuhua and his group, but they did not move at all. This was a bit beyond the surprise of Jiang Lang and others, so they monitored it even more tightly.
On the fifth day, Jianglang secretly looked like Emperor Jingtai and suggested that Emperor Jingtai take Tuotuobuhua to visit Shenji Camp.
The Shenji Camp was founded in the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1410) when the Ming Dynasty conquered Jiaozhi, Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty, formed a special gun and artillery force in the Beijing army - the Shenji Camp. This independent gun and artillery force was at the leading position in China and even countries around the world at that time, and was about a century earlier than the Spanish musketeers who became established in Europe (founded in 1510).
Shenji Camp is the earliest firearm unit established in China and the world. It is responsible for the important task of "guarding the capital in the capital and preparing for war outside". It is a strategic mobile unit directly commanded by the court. Shenji Camp is different from the garrison garrison established in the early Ming Dynasty. Its highest organization level is battalion, with 2 admirals, 2 military officers, and 2 top officials; the lower camp consists of the central army, Zuoye, Youye, Zuoye, and Right Post, each with 1 battalion. There is one military minister, except for the four divisions under the Central Army, the rest are three divisions. Each division has a gun supervisor, one official, and two official officials. The battalion specializes in magic guns and magic cannons. Later, the governor Tan Guangma was 5,000 horses, called 5,000 camps, attached to Shenji camp, and set up officials like the soldiers below Shenji camp, with four divisions under each division, and each division has two officers. The task of Shenji camp is to be in charge of practicing firearms and guarding the horses.
In fact, in Jiang Lang's heart, he also wanted to set up the Shenji Camp within the scope of reform. Because the official title was too small, he could not express his own opinions at all. Now it is different and he has a considerable position in the court, so his words naturally have a certain weight. As for the current Ming Dynasty, who is more familiar with the gun than Jiang Lang? From the original August 1st to the 95th, and many famous guns abroad, Jiang Lang has played with them. Being familiar with them is like being familiar with their fingers. How to make a firearm suitable for the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty is actually sure in his mind. After all, the productivity is not high now, and the time is relatively sufficient. Three years is enough to train an elite musket force. In the era of cold weapons, firearms are the king.
Jiang Lang did not hesitate to let Tuotuobuhua know. One of the big reasons was that he warned Tuotuobuhua not to act rashly when training recruits in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, when Chengzu, the Shenji Camp had severely damaged the Watts. It was impossible for Tuotuobuhua to know about this at all. For where they were guessing, it would be better to let them see it yourself. Of course, this opening naturally has a level, and there is also a confidentiality issue. It is necessary for Tuotuobuhua to know the power of the Shenji Camp, nor to let him fully explore the details of the Shenji Camp.
Moreover, the weather today is very good and the sun is shining.
Emperor Jingtai personally accompanied Tuotuobuhua to the training ground of Shenji Camp. In addition to the guards of the Imperial Guards, there were dozens of people including all kinds of civil and military officials, including Jiang Lang. Naturally, Jiang Lang was also among them.
Before the aisle, a rumbling sound could be heard from afar, as if it was thunder.
Tuotuobuhua was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the sound is!"
Emperor Jingtai asked Jiang Lang who was riding on the horse: "Wang Aiqing, please explain it to the Khan!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Lang said, "Yes! Emperor!"
Then Chaotuotuobuhua bowed and said, "If you go back to the Khan, the red cannons in the Shenji Camp were doing the sound of daily training. They did not inform them in advance, so they were still training as usual!"
"Red Cannon?"
Tuotuobuhua muttered about this strange noun, obviously he didn't know what this was, but he didn't ask at the moment.
As he moved forward, the rumbling sound became clearer and clearer, as if it was like a thundering glance. The horse pulling the cart had never heard such a sound, and suddenly became a little anxious. Seeing this, Yu Qian immediately said: "Master, the horse pulling the cart had never heard the sound of cannons. I am afraid that the horses in the war will be frightened and damage the dragon's body, so it is better to walk to it and walk through this mountain pass to see it!"
When Emperor Jingtai heard this, the same was true now, so he nodded and agreed, turned to Tuotuobuhua and said, "Shank you, as Yu Aiqing said, you might as well walk."
Tutuo Buhua nodded, and began to murmur in his heart. Now he knew at least one thing, and the war horse would be afraid of this sound.
So after leaving a part of the guarding carriage, Emperor Jingtai, Tuotuobuhua, and the civil and military officials who accompanied him walked together. After crossing the mountain, he heard a deafening loud noise. At the same time, huge fire and explosions rose on the opposite hillside, and the dust stirred up even more spread throughout the hillside, and the earth seemed to be trembling.
There were ten artillery below. Since the fire had just been launched, they were reloading the bullets. The soldiers in charge of the operation first forgot some black things poured into a black iron pipe. After poking it hard with a wooden stick, they picked up a black ball and stuffed it in. Then several soldiers seemed to have adjusted their positions. After the preparations were completed, everyone stood beside them. Then, there was a loud bang and a loud bang sound. Then a soldier waved the flag in his hand. The soldiers holding torches next to them approached the iron pipe. Some blue smoke suddenly appeared on the top. Then, a loud bang sound was heard. The first iron pipe shook violently, and a spark spewed out from the front. Then, a huge explosion sound on the mountain not far away suddenly came, and then huge smoke and dust rose.
"boom……!"
"boom……!"
The five cannons emitted dazzling fires one after another, and after the fire, there was a loud noise, just like thunder.
After the launch, the soldiers immediately pushed the cannons back to their original position, or reloaded the projectiles, while the other five cannons were pushed up, and the loud noises resounded through the mountains again.
Seeing the effects of the Red Barbarian Cannon, Emperor Jingtai was very proud and looked at Tuotuobuhua and said, "How about Khan? My Red Barbarian Cannon of the Ming Dynasty is still acceptable!"
Tuotuobuhua grew up on the grassland and had almost never been to the Ming Dynasty. The most common tile thorns were scimitars and longbows. How could he see any red cannons? He was stunned and frightened. If the red cannons were on the battlefield, wouldn’t it be like a man on his side to turn over and over with a huge roar, which would be enough to make the war horses mess up. What else could he fight? Now when Emperor Jingtai asked, he said, “This red cannon is indeed powerful, but is it just these ten?”
After exploring the details, Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly and said, "These ten s are just for training. As for how many there are, please forgive me, Khan, for the secrets of the Ming Dynasty at this time."
Tuotuo Buhua's heart couldn't help but tighten. According to Emperor Jingtai, wouldn't it be that there were still many red cannons in the Ming Dynasty? But he was also puzzled. Why didn't he see the shadow of the red cannon in the two wars not long ago? So he smiled and said, "I Khan has something unknown, so I ask the emperor for advice. Why did your country help me attack Yeshen last time? Why didn't he see this cannon? If there was such cannon, wouldn't Yeshen be defeated faster!"
Emperor Jingtai smiled and said, "As for why, I have to ask Wang Aiqing, he knows best if he is dispatched by him!"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Jiang Lang and asked, "My dear, did we not dispatch the Shenji Camp last time?"
Jiang Lang bowed and said, "Your Majesty, we dispatched the Shenji Camp with 20,000 troops last time, but because of our absolute advantage in combat, the Shenji Camp was not useful. Therefore, the officials did not ask them to dispatch."
Anyway, the war has ended now, even if Tutuobuhua knows that the Shenji Camp is in his hundreds of thousands of troops, what's wrong with it?
However, Tuotuobuhua was surprised. There was a Shenji camp of 20,000 in Jianglang's accompanying troops, and his own people had not found it at all. If he had really attacked Jianglang's transformation according to the suggestions of some people, wouldn't it be a waste of rice? The Shenji camp of 20,000 will be filled in with the power below, according to the following power, and it would not be enough for him to fill in the 100,000 people.
In fact, Tuotuo misunderstood the Shenji Camp without spending much. The Shenji Camp did not have many artillery pieces. Moreover, only five artillery pieces were carried out in the last 20,000 soldiers. After all, the current artillery is a deterrent effect to a certain extent, and the damage power of solid projectiles is not very large.
He smiled a little embarrassedly, and Tuotuobuhua said, "Mr. Wang hides these people very deeply!"
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "I believe Dahan also knows that only by knowing oneself and an enemy can he be defeated in a hundred battles. For the enemy, the best way is to make them unable to understand our details. And there is a saying that if you want to hide from the enemy, you must first hide from your own people. I might as well say here that even if my own army in the Ming Dynasty has very few people who know the Shenji Camp!"
