Chapter 255 Gunshots on the Qinhuai River

Duke of Wei appeared with almost half of the nobles.

Not only did the nobles appear, but also brought a lot of people.

This fully demonstrates that Nanzhili is out of control.

It can also be said that it was an out of control of administrative management in the late Ming Dynasty.

Of course, the effects of forces are mutual.

In normal times, they definitely don’t dare to be so arrogant.

But the Gongtian case and the Huangcai case are very closely related, and you can also say that they were forced.

You can even say that the emperor was forced.

After all, no one can really do whatever he wants in this world, but his position is different.

But no matter what, both sides met by the Qinhuai River.

The streets were filled with soldiers, so the people could only hide aside or hide in the hotel, on the second floor.

"Hong Junmen!" Baoguo Duke hugged his fists perfunctorily, his tone was bad and his expression was gloomy, "What do you mean?"

Hong Chengchou said, "I heard that Your Majesty's imperial envoy has disappeared, so I'll come in and find someone."

"Is the imperial envoy missing?" Duke Bao seemed to have never heard of it. "It's a big deal for the imperial envoy to disappear. Do we want us to find it with you?"

“It doesn’t have to.”

"You are so brave! Do you know where this place is?"

Duke Baoguo shouted out angrily, his face turned red, and he also pointed at Hong Chengchou with his fingers, waving his hand in the air.

He looked like he wanted to eat Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou was too lazy to talk nonsense. He slowly took out the emperor's sage, a little impatient: "Look at it, your Majesty's sage, can you kneel down, right?"

"Hahaha, joke, you bombarded Nanjing City and sent troops into the city privately. Do you want to destroy Confucius Temple and demolish the Jiangnan Gongyuan! Do you want to bury the Qinhuai River, burn the Forbidden City (there is also the Forbidden City in Nanjing, built by Zhu Yuanzhang), and go to Zhongshan to level the Taizu Xiaomao Mausoleum!"

The more you talked, the more excited you became.

The other nobles were originally very scared and forced to come to serve, but now they saw that the Duke Bao was so awesome, they immediately stopped being afraid.

"You are now going to rebel in Nanjing City. So what if you have your Majesty's decree! This is Nanjing City! The place in Taizu Mausoleum, you are now a serious crime to kill the nine clans!"

"It seems you won't let you go?"

"Let the way? Look, these people are all nobles in Nanjing. Our ancestors fought with Taizu and shed blood for the Ming Dynasty. Who are you? You are just a dog!"

Hong Chengchou's deputy general couldn't stand it anymore and was about to come forward to find Hong Chengchou back, but was stopped by Hong Chengchou.

This fearless confrontation has no meaning at all.

The other party just wanted to anger him and continued to scold him here.

The other party was sure that he didn't dare to take action here.

Hong Chengchou really didn't dare to take action here.

This is the bank of the Qinhuai River, in front of Confucius Temple, the place of the tribute court in the south of the Yangtze River, and the place for the imperial examination.

Hong Chengchou was also a Jinshi. He was a literati. How could he use a knife in such a sacred place?

But this is not a solution. If he withdraws now, he will not be able to mess around in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Not only do you stop hiding, but the emperor will definitely not protect your black hat.

Black hat?

I have given you the army and the sages. You can't even do this. Is it because I don't have enough support for you, or are you too cowardly?

What do I want you for?

So, Hong Chengchou has no way out.

Hong Chengchou thought for a while and began to get angry: "Come on, arrest all these people!"

Duke Wei, who had been silent, spoke, and he was like an angry lion: "You dare!"

"Catch it!"

Lan Yuejun shouted: "Yes!"

This "yes" really shocked many people.

The guards brought by Duke Wei also took action and surrounded Duke Wei and others behind.

These guards also wear armor, hold swords and guns, and have bows and arrows.

These are the garrison soldiers from Nanjing.

Why can it be mobilized?

After all, the key figures are now involved in the Gongtian case and the Huangcai case, and what do the soldiers below know?

They joined the army just to make a living. How could you say "Long live my emperor, long live the Ming Dynasty" now?

Whoever gives them food, they will follow whoever they want.

After seeing this, there were still a steady stream of guards trotting over, at least nearly a thousand people.

And it’s not all, there must be people behind, in other places.

The atmosphere frozen in an instant, and the guards set up arrows and pointed them in front.

Teams of the Moon-Survey Musketeers lined up quickly and neatly in front, protecting Hong Chengchou at the back.

There were originally some fun-lovers watching around, but now, seeing this posture, they quickly ran away.

"Hong Chengchou, if you dare to kill someone in the city, even if you rebel, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to repay you!"

Blue veins suddenly appeared on Hong Chengchou's forehead, and cold sweat was covered with cold sweat on his back.

The nobles in Nanjing are really tough. They rely on the high sky and far away emperors, and have deep roots in Nanjing. Now they don’t even take the emperor’s imperial edict seriously.

Hong Chengchou's throat was a little dry, and his mind was even blank. Today's matter has come to this point. No matter what, a lot of people in the court will impeach him in the future.

He felt that his official position would definitely not be able to be saved. If he just let it go today, he might not be able to keep his head.

He lowered his voice and said, "Let's fire!"

The officer shouted: "Open fire!"

With a command, the musketeer pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang bang...

Blue smoke emerged from the musket, and bullets rushed forward like a metal craze.

The archer on the opposite side also immediately fired the arrows.

Bullets and bows intersect in the air, some colliding with each other, making a snap sound.

The next moment, the musket in front of the Luan Yue Army was shot to the end, while the Nanjing guards on the opposite side were shot, blood splattered in their chests and they fell to the ground screaming.

The crowd around immediately became completely in chaos. The restaurant closed the windows, and those below closed the doors quickly.

Some people rolled and crawled through the alleys, and they didn't dare to watch from a distance.

The first round of confrontation was only in a moment.

The next moment, the musketeers in the second row immediately filled in. The musketeers who had loaded in advance did not stop at all and began the second wave of muskete shooting.

The archers followed the second wave of shooting.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of flintlock rifles and bows?

1. The effective range of the flintlock rifle is 70 meters and has a normal center, so it is necessary to queue up and concentrate on shooting, which is likely to increase the hit rate.

This is where the line-up is shot.

The bow and arrow are shot in place, and the effective range may exceed 100 meters.

So if the two sides are separated by 100 meters, the archers will definitely have an advantage.

But at present, the distance between the two sides is only about ten meters.

2. Muskets have another advantage, they can make thumping sounds, which can shock the enemy in an instant.

People who have not been trained in professionals will feel their hearts tremble whenever they hear this sound. This is human instinct.

And those who have been trained professionally as musketeers will not.

3. The threshold for using flintlock rifles is lower. An adult man can master them after training for three months.

But a qualified archer must be constantly trained for at least one year or even longer.

At present, these guards in Nanjing have not experienced war for a long time, and their archery skills are actually very poor.

Some people even missed the shot at this time, and shot two or three meters and landed on the ground.

Such an army will fight against Jiannu on the battlefield and will be pushed back and forth by someone to the ground.
