Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 90 Dare to Be the First in the World (First Order)
"The concept of standardization and assembly line that His Majesty said is very good. The students have been studying since they first arrived in the capital. If the workshop-style production can be gradually rectified into assembly-line production, it will indeed achieve a significant change."

Song Yingxing stepped forward, bowed to Zhu Youxiaozuo and said, "Just as Houhu Gong (Zhao Shizhen) imitated the Lumi gun, the improved Lumi gun weighed about seven or eight kilograms, was about six or seven feet long, and the mouth of the gun was It is suitable for firing three-cent lead bullets. Although the range and power of the Rumi gun are far superior to bird guns, single-eyed guns, three-eyed guns, etc., the issue of the Rumi gun exploding the chamber is still a thorny problem that is difficult to solve.

Before going to Beijing under the imperial edict, the student thought about this issue more than once. It was not until the student read the charter drafted by His Majesty that he understood the root of it. "

"I am very pleased that it can inspire the Qing family."

Zhu Youxiao said slightly: "Speaking of which, there are all kinds of firecrackers, artillery, and firearms in our Ming army, and there are various types. I think this is very bad.

The army deploys these things to keep suppressing the enemy's firepower on the battlefield in order to win the battlefield, but the logistics support must also be taken into account.

Fighting a war is not just a joke.

From the outbreak to the end of a war, there will be more than one battle during the period. This may be multiple times, or it may be more than ten times. Then the number of troops invested in each battle is different, and different types of firecrackers, artillery and firearms will be consumed, especially The consumption of gunpowder, lead bullets, solid bullets, etc. is most obvious.

Therefore, these things installed in the military must follow the standard route to ensure that the cost can be kept to a minimum and the logistics can be effectively controlled.

Just like firecrackers, one or two types of mainstream firecrackers are specified, and artillery specifies several types of directions, such as siege, field battle, or defense, etc. Firearms specify portability and strong lethality. As long as these elements can be ensured, we will I don’t believe that when the Ming army arrived on the battlefield, they didn’t even have the courage to fight the enemy. "

"What your Majesty said is good, but it also faces a real problem."

Song Yingxing heard this, glanced at Bi Maokang, Wang Zheng and the others, and then continued: "If you really want to realize the rectification of the above-mentioned concept, you must go deep into the army, go to the generals in charge of the army, and conduct in-depth discussions with the officers and men of each department. We will discuss and understand the true performance of these firecrackers, artillery and firearms on the battlefield."

"Isn't the Bureau of Military Affairs planning to relocate abroad?"

Zhu Youxiao replied: "The sites that have been clarified are the closest to the Xishan Camp. You can enter the Xishan Camp in batches to discuss and understand with the generals and soldiers of the various ministries. I will give you orders at that time." The cards allow the ministers to enter and leave the Xishan Camp at regular intervals."

"I'm afraid that if this happens, the censors in the court will definitely hear the news and impeach them." Song Yingxing said hesitantly: "After all, the military battle bureau is under the jurisdiction of the inner court. Students and others..."

Zhu Youxiao: "..."

After Song Yingxing went around talking so much, Zhu Youxiao finally understood what he wanted to say. When he looked at Wang Zheng, Bi Maokang, Jiao Xu, Sun Yuanhua, Mao Yuanyi and the others, they all showed more or less the same expression on their faces.

This was still a relatively enlightened group under the Ming Dynasty, and many of them even had contact with Western missionaries. However, they seemed more or less cautious on this matter.

Song Yingxing and the others want to do something, but if they are criticized or abused all the time, it will be fine in a short time, and the mental pressure will not be so great, but what about after a long time?No wonder Ming Dynasty’s development in the field of firearms obviously did not lag behind this era, but when it reached a certain stage, it fell into a stagnant situation.

Everything is low-grade, but reading is high-grade!

"If they want to say it, just ask them to say it."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were firm, and he looked around at the people in front of him and said: "I believe that it is enough for you, can you go to the army a few times to confuse the army to mutiny? Could it be that after a few trips to the army, you will maintain abnormal contacts with generals?" ?

If we can defeat the enemy on the battlefield relying on their words, then I will not reuse the ministers and directly transfer them to the front line.

In his position to seek his government.

Your Majesty, you don't need to think about anything else, just do your duty. As for other matters, as long as I am here, no one can do anything to you. I will express my attitude today.

Among all the ministers, whoever can implement the ideas of the front-loaded flintlock gun, the breech-loaded flintlock gun, and the carved rifling one by one, and prepare to build the corresponding production line, I will confer the title of earl, hereditary and irreplaceable! ! "

Song Yingxing, Wang Zheng, and Bi Maokang were all shocked when they heard what the emperor said. Even Zhu Youjian and Wei Shitai were shocked.

The emperor's extraordinary skills and skills in the eyes of the world were so valued by the emperor, and he was even awarded a title. If this spread to other dynasties, it would definitely cause an uproar.

If a dynasty wants to maintain a strong posture, in addition to having a vast land area, it must also maintain its dominance in the field of science and technology. This is the key to leading internal development, and it is also the core to check and balance foreign domains.

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao how difficult it is to climb up and study in the field of science and technology. This requires spending a lot of money and doing it continuously. No matter how many failures you experience, you must maintain a good attitude. There is no such thing in the field of science and technology. Any tricks can only be taken step by step.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't know how to draw rifling or how to build a flintlock gun, but he has a privilege. As long as he gathers talents who are proficient in this way, let them study and climb without distraction. Two years will not make three years. What he has to do is to control the general direction and provide sufficient financial and food support. As for the rest, he will rely on professionals to gradually explore.

"There is something else I want to tell you."

Looking at the shocked people, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "By next year, that is, in February of the first year of Tianqi, the military industry you are responsible for will have forged at least 5000 standard Lumi guns, matching bagged granular gunpowder, and bags. To load lead bullets, of course, the technical difficulty of adding a bayonet to the gun must also be solved.

In addition, all kinds of artillery and firearms should be produced as much as possible. There is not much time left for the ministers. If you need silver, I will give you, if you need manpower, I will give you, if you need iron, I will give you, in a word. , whatever you need, I will try to solve it for you, but my request must be implemented without compromise. "

Since the field of military industry is to be completely reformed, it must have the appearance and attitude of complete reform. Zhu Youxiao wants to squeeze the potential of Song Yingxing and Wang Zheng and let them focus on getting things done. As for who dares to influence Song Yingxing during this period? , Wang Zheng and others are doing things, then Zhu Youxiao will never be lenient. If he can't even do this well, then there will be no fight until next year!
