Chapter 131 Bold idea, Lao Zhu’s shame!
No one knows better than Zhu Yunxi the great significance brought by breech-loading guns and fixed-load ammunition.

This is definitely a technology that transcends the times.

Although this is not a mature smokeless gunpowder bullet for later generations, it can still bring a huge impact to this era.

The development of technology often relies first on military technology research.

This is not because there is anything special about military technology research, but because research in this area can see the effect and eliminate resistance.

The emergence of breech-loading guns and fixed-loading ammunition, the greater significance, is also here.

It is very difficult to develop and promote technology in Daming.

The constraints of the feudal etiquette system are so great that it is difficult for people outside the game to understand.

He is now setting up the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, which has attracted criticism from many people.

This is still suppressed by him as the grandson of the emperor.

In the eyes of most people, the so-called Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau is just for fun by his grandson.

The reason why they haven't launched a large-scale attack and boycott is because they still think this is harmless.

After all, his status as the grandson of the emperor lies there, and as long as he doesn't play too much, most people won't offend him.

Only the advancement of military technology can make those people shut up.

"How many breech-loading guns are there so far?" Zhu Yunxi asked quickly.

"100 pieces, and 400 rounds of bullets." Xu Miaojin is very clear about this: "So far, a total of [-] pieces of flintlock guns have been produced."

"That means there are 500 guns in total." Zhu Yunxi nodded, and a bold plan popped up in his mind.

Five hundred guns is not a lot, but if an army equipped with five hundred guns is deployed to key positions on the front line, it may become the core of turning the tide of the battle.

Especially in dealing with small groups of Japanese pirates.

The Qi Family Army formed by Qi Jiguang later had a total of more than 4000 people.

However, through a series of mobile operations, Japanese pirates were wiped out one by one, and the total number of enemies wiped out in the end reached 7.

Qi's army only partially used firearms, and through the cooperation of the army, they exerted amazing power.

He equips a 500-man army with flintlock guns, breech-loading guns, and fixed-load ammunition, and its combat power should be much higher than that of the 4000-man Qi family army.

It’s time to test the effectiveness of this period of time.

He thought in his heart, and was about to leave to see Lao Zhu, when Xu Miaojin said: "The Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau is very interesting, and the things they make are very interesting. There is no official in charge yet, why don't you leave it to me to take charge?" ?”

When Zhu Yunxuan turned around, he saw the little girl looking at him with expectation in her eyes.

"This..." Thoughts raced through Zhu Yunxi's mind.

Xu Miaojin is still young, and children are often the most curious.

The Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau designed, researched, and manufactured things that Daming did not have before.

For older people, it's a shock.

For young people, it is something that can be accepted very quickly.

For children in their teens, it's a matter of course.

There is a famous saying in later generations:

Any technology that was there when I was born, is commonplace.

Any technology born between the ages of 15 and 35 is revolutionary and will change the world.

Any technology born after I am 35 years old will violate the laws of nature and will be punished by God.

The older you get, the more stubborn your thinking becomes, and the less able you are to accept new things. You wish the world would always operate in the same way.

Although I can't say that this is necessarily the case, it is the case for most people.

Among the officials of the Ministry of Industry, those who are qualified to be in charge of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau are not young.

Being influenced by the feudal etiquette ideology for a long time, his thoughts have long been finalized.

Putting them in charge would not only not promote the development of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, but would also create obstacles.

Therefore, after the establishment of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, Zhu Yunxuan did not appoint an official in charge, but took charge of it himself.

In comparison, Xu Miaojin is quite suitable.

Although she is still an eleven or twelve-year-old child, it is children in this age group who are most open-minded, curious, and able to accept new things.

As for her being a girl...

Anyway, the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, in the eyes of outsiders, is something that he, the grandson of the emperor, did not do his job properly and deviated from the rules.

Appointing a little girl as supervisor only reinforces this perception.

never mind.

As the queen of Zhongshan County, she can bring a lot of convenience when she needs to coordinate with other yamen.

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Then I will officially appoint you as the director of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau now."

"Really? That's great!" Xu Miaojin jumped up happily, clapped her hands and laughed, and cheered happily.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head.

Judging from the ideological concepts of this era, this little girl is so lively and naughty, I am afraid it will be difficult to marry in the future.

I just don't know why Zhu Di liked her in history?
Is it because of her personality that is completely different from other women?

may be.

Zhu Yunxi was not so sure.

In this era when most of the girls are suppressed by feudal ethics and appear dead and dull, Xu Miaojin's cheerful and lively character will indeed give people a refreshing feeling and leave a deep impression on them.

Not to mention she is also very beautiful.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a country and a city.

of course.

It is also possible that her temper will gradually change later on.

After all, she is still only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and she is very malleable.

Zhu Yunxi didn't stay any longer, and immediately went to see Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandfather, grandson has already made a plan for the battle."

Zhu Yunxi presented the policy formulated by Lan Yu.

There is no major problem with Sapphire's plan.

Although the judgment of the main attack direction of the Japanese pirates was wrong, the imperial court still had to decide how to deploy troops and generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it.

Zhu Yunxuan added: "Sun Er has asked Liang Guogong to take three thousand elites from Yangshan as the vanguard, and set off immediately to Suzhou to stabilize the morale of the army and the people."

"However, Sun'er believes that the Japanese pirates and rebels will attack not Suzhou next, but Jiaxing Prefecture, and then go south to attack Hangzhou."

Lao Zhu raised his head suddenly, his eyes showed surprise, and said, "Tell me in detail."

Zhu Yunxuan elaborated on Xu Miaojin's previous analysis, and then said: "Sun'er believes that the Suzhou government secretly funded the Japanese pirates and the wealthy merchants who rebelled against the bandits, and they did not want to see them capture Suzhou."

"After all, if Suzhou City is really destroyed, their interests will also be damaged."

"Hahaha!" Old Zhu laughed.

"Xiao'er, you discussed military affairs with us before, and we thought you were just talking about military affairs on paper."

"Unexpectedly, you can really make such an accurate judgment, but it coincides with our thoughts."

Lao Zhu was very happy.

"God treats us kindly. You can startle the world with your pen, and you can control the world with your military force. In the future, we can rest assured that the Great Ming will be in your hands."

"Grandpa Huang is too famous." Zhu Yunxi quickly expressed his humility.

"No reputation, no reputation." Lao Zhu waved his hands and smiled, "When we were your age, we didn't have the skills you have now."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the poems written by Zhu Yunxi, which he couldn't write now.

And his keen judgment on military situations is not inferior to his own.

Being able to see the intentions of Japanese pirates at a glance is an ability that many generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years may not necessarily possess.

Doesn't that mean that he is not as good as him now?

Living a long life in vain?

Old Zhu's face was slightly red.

"How do you plan to defend Jiaxing Mansion?" Old Zhu felt uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject.

"One is to issue an urgent order at [-] miles, ordering the garrison of Huzhou Prefecture to go to Jiaxing immediately to assist in the defense."

"The second thing." Zhu Yunxuan cleared his throat and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has been training the new army for some time. He plans to select [-] capable men from the new army and go to Jiaxing himself."

"Grandson not only wants to defend Jiaxing, but also wipe out Japanese pirates and rebels!"

As soon as the words fell, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly released two bright lights.
