On the training ground, Fang Zhengyi held his submachine gun and fired wildly at the target on the opposite side.
A row of straw targets were shattered into pieces by the flying grass debris from the shooting.
Li Yuanzhao stood beside him, stunned...
What the fuck is this...a gun?
Fang Zhengyi was still firing, his face unable to hide the excitement.
This is so fucking cool!
In this era, there is nothing more satisfying than being able to fire a submachine gun around.
After firing a burst of bullets, Fang Zheng raised the muzzle of his gun and blew it gracefully.
Looking at Li Yuanzhao, he said proudly, "How is it?"
"......" Li Yuanzhao's mouth was still wide open, completely unable to speak.
Fang Zhengyi unloaded the magazine expertly and replaced it with another one, while explaining, "This gun is called the Ming Dynasty No. 66 submachine gun."
"This gun was developed by a team of more than 100 people led by me, and supervised by the Emperor. It has gone through 66 revisions and iterations. The metal used to make this gun is also a specially developed alloy. The empty gun weighs ten kilograms."
"Equipped with drum magazines, each with 100 rounds of bullets, the rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute, and a 20-round bullet clip is optional, with an accurate range of 40 meters. With this gun, one man can hold the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through. It is no longer an empty phrase."
Li Yuanzhao carefully took the Ming Type 66 submachine gun, held it in his hand like a treasure, and muttered to himself.
“Fuck…Fuck…Fuck!!”
"Your Majesty, don't point your gun at anyone."
Fang Zhengyi held the muzzle of the gun and turned it to the straw target opposite. He said with a smile, "Try it. Put the butt of the gun against your shoulder. Don't let the muzzle go off the target. This thing is very powerful."
Li Yuanzhao licked his lips, imitated Fang Zhengyi's previous behavior, raised the gun, and pulled the trigger!
Da da da da da da!
A stream of flames shot out from the muzzle.
Bullets fired!
The bullets in the drum were quickly used up. Li Yuanzhao panted heavily and said with an unsatisfied look: "One more time."
Fang Zhengyi reminded him, "Don't come on. We have a limited number of bullets. Your Majesty, please use them sparingly. Let's look at something else first."
"Anything else?" Li Yuanzhao shouted excitedly.
He now completely understood why his father and Lao Fang had made such hasty arrangements.
What the hell is there to plan a strategy with this thing! Just rush in!
From now on on the battlefield, I am a legend!
Fang Zheng raised his hand and instructed the Jinyiwei in the training ground, "Open that box."
The Jinyiwei stepped forward and used a crowbar to pry open the tightly nailed wooden box.
The four wooden boards were pried open and fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The weapons in the box were clearly revealed in front of Li Yuanzhao.
Fang Zheng stepped forward and explained, "A rotary grenade launcher is equipped with four grenades. When the grenades are fired, they explode when they hit the target. They contain fragments and iron beads, and have amazing lethality in a small area."
"Infantry artillery, a brand new light artillery designed by Taoyuan County Firearms Institute, has high accuracy, light weight, and low height. It can be pushed by the artillery crew on the battlefield and can be flexibly moved. It can be called a magical weapon for breaking through cities and charging into enemy formations."
After that, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, show your majesty the grenade launcher first."
The Jinyiwei stepped forward to reload.
Li Yuanzhao stared at the two weapons without moving.
After everything was prepared, Fang Zheng gave the order.
The Jinyiwei aimed the howitzer in his hand at a sandbag array in the distance and fired with a bang.
The grenade drew a long trajectory in the air and successfully landed in the area surrounded by sandbags...
After waiting for a while, Li Yuanzhao turned his head and looked at Fang Zheng in confusion: "Gone? How is this different from throwing stones?"
Dud, failed to trigger.
Fang Zheng stared at the place where the grenade landed and smiled awkwardly: "Well... there is such a problem. Fire another one!"
The second grenade is fired!
When it landed again, there was a loud bang, and smoke and dust flew up from behind the sandbag, forming a cloud of smoke.
"My God...Isn't this much better than a grenade?" Li Yuanzhao kept swallowing.
He had even used grenades when he had gone deep into the Jin Kingdom to fight against Wutu.
At that time, the fuse of the grenade had to be lit in advance before being thrown.
From the perspective of that time, they were considered to be top-notch weapons.
But now this grenade launcher is obviously more powerful! It has a very long range and explodes automatically.
With a grenade launcher, a submachine gun, and an infantry gun... who can stop us?
"So you and my father have been doing these things in private. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Yuanzhao said excitedly.
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "This is all arranged by the Emperor. He's afraid you'll let it slip."
"If enemy spies appear in Dajing, and the news of our weapons leaks out, won't that be troublesome?"
"Although the enemy is backward, our weapons are advanced, but no matter how advanced they are, they are just tools. The core of everything in the world is people. If we cannot confront the enemy head-on, we can still fight us from other angles. If we have enough people and command properly, we can still win. So we must keep it strictly confidential until we win in one battle!"
Li Yuanzhao laughed foolishly: "So that's how it is. I'm so tight-lipped, but you don't believe me?"
Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "Actually... it's not entirely because I don't trust Your Majesty. The difficulty of manufacturing these weapons is far beyond imagination. The overall yield rate is no more than 30%. I have really spent a lot of money on this. My father has also sold most of his stocks."
"If His Majesty knew in advance, he would have used the national treasury to manufacture arms at all costs. My father and I don't want you to divert too many resources and energy to the military as soon as you ascend the throne, and ignore the people's livelihood. This is the fundamental reason."
