Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 88 Military Industry
It was clear to Zhu Youxiao that a thorough investigation of the Huangzhuang Huangdian in the northern Zhili territory was related to his subsequent plans.

Many matters such as the abolition of the weak soldiers in the Beijing camp, the resettlement of the Liao people who fled into the customs, the gathering of refugees from the Northern Zhili border, the development of bank accounts, the cultivation of drought- and cold-resistant crops, etc., all require a carrier to accommodate them. Northern Zhili The royal real estate in the surrounding area can play a corresponding role very well.

It is true that Zhu Youxiao was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but compared with the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, regardless of which party or faction he belonged to, he lacked a basic base, a basic base that was not affected by the outside world. He wanted to compete with the civil servants of the outer dynasty. To play tricks, you must control the money bag.

There are too many bad debts in the foreign treasury. Even if you want to reverse this disadvantage, it will not take several years or even longer to completely change the corrupt central finance by killing batches of corrupt officials to establish power. It is simply unrealistic. It is the emperor's internal funds, so it is relatively easy to adjust.

Not to mention anything else, as long as Zhu Youxiao is willing to use Huangzhuang Real Estate as an anchor and issue bonds through the bank to be established, Zhu Youxiao can harvest a batch of gold and silver from the private sector in a short period of time.

The abnormal pursuit of land has long penetrated into the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, the annexation of land in Daming would not be uncontrollable, which would also lead to the continuous reduction of the self-cultivating farmers in Daming, which in turn would affect the taxation related to land.

No matter how much money you accumulate, it will eventually be lost, but land can be passed on to your children and grandchildren, and it is an important reliance on continuing the inheritance of the clan and the inheritance of incense.

Sun Guozhen, Lu Guanxiang and their entourage quietly left Beijing, announcing the beginning of the in-depth reform of the inner court, but no one knew the hidden meaning of this matter.

The eunuchs in the inner court didn't know, the civil servants in the outer dynasty didn't know, and even Sun Guozhen and Lu Guanxiang didn't know.

An important reason for the failure of reform is leaks!
The sky in Beijing is still very blue.

It will not change because of anyone's arrival or departure. The Forbidden City is still the same as before, and has not changed anything due to changes in the outer dynasty.

Qianqing Palace.

"Hurry up and place all these firecrackers in order!"

"Be careful. Don't bump into each other. If you dare to have an accident, watch your skin carefully."

"These firearms are placed separately. Slow down! Don't drop these firearms."

"Pull these artillery pieces over here..."

There were shouts and shouts outside Dongnuan Pavilion. More than a hundred young eunuchs all had serious expressions. Under the command of the eunuchs in charge, they were busy with fear for fear of anything going wrong.

On the side of Xinuan Pavilion, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing, Sun Yuanhua, Mao Yuanyi, and Jiao Xu stood outside the palace. They looked at the scene in front of them with different expressions. No one knew that the emperor summoned them and placed these fires in Qianqing Palace. Guns and artillery, what exactly do they want to do?

"Right Governor, what do you want your Majesty to do?"

Not far away, a military general looked nervous and looked at the silent Wei Shitai and said: "There are so many guns and artillery gathered in Qianqing Palace, and there are even various firearms and gunpowder. If an accident occurs, the consequences will be disastrous... "

"To shut up!"

Wei Shitai glared and yelled: "Everyone, please be vigilant and do your best to be vigilant. If you shouldn't talk nonsense, don't fucking talk nonsense."

"Here."

The scolded general responded immediately.

"Uncle Xuancheng, what happened?"

Zhu Youjian walked out of Xinuang Pavilion, saw the scene in front of him, frowned and walked towards Wei Shitai, "Why are there so many firecrackers and artillery in the Qianqing Palace?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty. This is His Majesty's will."

Seeing Zhu Youjian coming, Wei Shitai hurriedly clasped his fists and responded. Although he said so, there was a touch of alienation in his words.

Even though Zhu Youjian has been staying in Xinuang Pavilion and studying according to the framework set by Zhu Youjian, no one among the eunuchs in the inner court or the nobles of the Royal Guards Governor's Mansion dared to contact him privately.

If you dare to do these things secretly under the eyes of the emperor, you are simply seeking death.

"Ah."

Zhu Youjian responded, but doubts arose in his heart. Why did his royal brother order so many firecrackers and artillery to be placed in such an important place as Qianqing Palace?

If the civil servants in the outer dynasty knew about it, wouldn't it be a big quarrel?
"Are they all arranged?"

Zhu Youxiao walked out of Dongnuang Pavilion and saw the rows of guns and artillery, as well as various firearms and gunpowder, and walked forward.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Meet the emperor!"

Facing the salutes of everyone, Zhu Youxiao waved his hands. At that time, Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and his party all bowed their heads and came to Zhu Youxiao.

These are all outstanding people of the Ming Dynasty.

Looking around at the people in front of him, Zhu Youxiao sighed, and gathered them together. If he could instill certain ideas into them, the Ming Dynasty's military industry would be able to gradually change.

"As far as I know, all the ministers are proficient in firearms and artillery."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down and pointed at the firecrackers and artillery in front of him, "The ones in front of me are from the army of the Ming Dynasty. Well, there are single-eyed blunderbuss, three-eyed blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, Lumi blunderbuss, etc." Wait, but I want to ask Zhu Qing, what do you think of when looking at the things in front of you?"

Ok?
Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and others all showed different expressions after hearing what the emperor said. They didn't know what the emperor meant.

"Don't you, sir, have nothing to say?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"Brother Imperial, I have something to say. I wonder if you can express it?"

Zhu Youjian, who was standing aside, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhu Youxiao and said.

"You said."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly.

"Brother Emperor~"

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Youjian bowed his head and saluted and said: "After reading these, I always feel that it is too complicated, like those blunderbuss, all of different sizes."

After listening to what Zhu Youjian said, Zhu Youxiao smiled happily, while the expressions on the faces of Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and others changed at this moment. They seemed to know what the emperor wanted to say.

"Your brother is right."

Zhu Youxiao pointed at the objects placed in front of him, suppressed his smile and said: "In our army of the Ming Dynasty, these guns, artillery, firearms, etc. cannot even meet the most basic standards. How can this be used on the battlefield?" Maintain suppressive fire?

Some of these bird guns are from the Bing Zhan Bureau and some from the Military Weapons Bureau. The size of the most different, can be as much as three inches, and the forging of the gun tubes is different.

This has to be deployed and installed in the same team. If it really goes to the battlefield and hastily fills the gunpowder lead bullet, how can it be ensured that the chamber will not explode?How can the power be ensured?

In addition, most of these gunpowders are powders. I remember that there were granular gunpowders before. As long as they are stored properly, they can effectively avoid agglomeration or combustion. This kind of gunpowder powder, does this need to be changed? "

"Does Your Majesty want to unify standards?"

When Wang Zheng heard this, he bravely stepped forward to bow and asked.

"good."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The development and production of firecrackers and artillery firearms is one thing, but whether it is really suitable for the battlefield is another.

All the ministers are experts in this field.

Especially Wang Qing, you have read the charters I drafted earlier. I am calling you here this time just to discuss whether the concepts of standardization and assembly lines can be implemented.

And how to determine this standard? Is it necessary to refer to the advice of military lieutenant generals or lower-level officers?How to improve the quality of firecrackers, artillery and firearms, increase their range and increase their power? "

The future war mode must be the era of hot weapons. This is the mainstream trend in the military field. If the Ming army wants to make a complete change and win on the battlefield, it must follow this theme.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Ming's current military industry is too backward. There is no central idea to lead and develop and develop around this idea.

If you want to make the Ming army stronger, you must first reform the military industry. Zhu Youxiao wants to rebuild this system. Only by injecting the systematization of the central idea can the Ming military industry be reborn!

Zhu Youxiao didn't know much, so he only knew some basic common sense, but even so, if he could instill this knowledge into Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng, Song Yingxing and other outstanding people, Zhu Youxiao would definitely believe in the military industry of Ming Dynasty. With precipitation and development, it is bound to soar into the sky!
