Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 632 The problem was handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang and his father

When it comes to bragging, Master Hu is very experienced!

Especially bragging to grown men!
State affairs, military affairs, business affairs and all that stuff in bed!
Among these four, there is no gentleman who cannot be talked to.

There is always one among the four that can arouse interest.

As for trivial matters like football and the entertainment industry, we can't talk about them. If we talk about them, it may lead to a fight.

Even if they don't fight, it's easy to get carried away.

We still have to talk about these things. Safety can also make us look awesome.

I’m not going to say how powerful he is, but at least he has brains!
It's fun to be brainless, isn't it?

Look, Mr. Hu is now in high spirits.

He took a few spare teacups from the tea table, placed them neatly upside down on the table, and pointed.

"Look, let's assume that these three teams are the firearms team holding muskets!"

"Then, according to our current fighting style of the Ming Dynasty, we will naturally go up and fire a round of guns, then put away our guns and draw our swords to prepare for close combat!!"

"The main reason is twofold."

"First, our muskets have a short range, so we can only fire from close."

"Secondly, reloading and then firing is too slow. There is no time to do anything else in such a short period of time. I can only draw my knife!"

"Is that right?"

Even Zhu Biao, who had never experienced war, nodded repeatedly at this time.

It's true that he has never been to the battlefield, but that doesn't mean he hasn't learned.

Mr. Hu smiled and replaced several cups that were arranged in a row, then raised his eyebrows.

"But what if I divide this musketeer team into three columns?"

"They were all loaded with ammunition in advance, but after the first row finished shooting, they immediately retreated to the back, and then the second row immediately stepped forward to shoot and then retreated."

"By the time the third column has finished firing and is retreating, do you think the first column has already loaded its ammunition?"

"Well, if our muskets have a slightly longer range."

"Is it possible to make it so that the enemy has to face a torrential rain of bullets before they even reach us?"

"The power of this thing can kill you!"

"How many people are going to die on the way in this charge?"

I am speechless!
The father and son of the Zhu family seemed to be possessed at this moment. They personally took the three teacups and tossed them back and forth.

If you know that these are the emperor and the prince, you would think they are two fools.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Master Hu with surprise.

"Weiyong, this can be done!"

"Of course I can!"

Master Hu won the first round of this show-off competition with a calm expression, and then continued.

"The key is that this matter can be pushed forward step by step!"

"It's just like our current muskets. If we just copy some of the foreign ones, we can immediately have a longer range!"

"What about after that? Can we develop something more powerful that can break armor or even shields?"

"Okay, now that we have figured out the musket, can we also figure out the cannon?"

"Just throwing a big lump of iron at it isn't powerful enough, so can we increase the power?"

"I think it should also explode after it hits the target, so that shrapnel can fly everywhere and injure people. This will be more powerful and more effective!"

"In the future, muskets and cannons may even fire continuously!"

"To put it bluntly, we are rushing towards a longer range, greater power, and faster firing rate!"

"By then, what can we do if the enemy has all the weapons, including swords, spears, clubs, shields, armor, etc?"

"They can't even get to the front of our Ming army. I'm afraid they will be destroyed by our artillery and muskets!"

"And this is how I imagine the Ming Dynasty should fight a war!"

Mr. Hu was very happy after hearing his long speech. The father and son of the Zhu family were also very happy after hearing this.

Perhaps in the era of Wild Boar Skin, these things would have seemed impossible.

However, in the early Ming Dynasty, two or three hundred years earlier than theirs, firearms had actually already begun to be used in the army in an organized manner.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang's victory in the Battle of Poyang Lake was achieved with the help of artillery.

The father and son knew very well the power of firearms.

It's just that no one has ever put the future of firearms so clearly before them.

It was not until this moment that they understood.

It turns out that I have already grasped the bright road to the future in my hands!
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have already seen the future scene of the Ming Dynasty's army dominating the world and being invincible.

At this moment, he was so excited that his old face turned red.

He grabbed Master Hu's sleeve and said repeatedly.

"Wei Yong, Wei Yong!"

"We want this!"

"We were right to call you back!"

"Yes, that's what you said!"

"Come on, help us with this!"

Master Hu was really at a loss whether to laugh or cry after being treated like this by Zhu Yuanzhang.

How come this old man has no moral principles at all?
Just now he said that he only needs to move his mouth.

You forgot about it right away and just dragged yourself to work, right?
Mr. Hu clapped his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, don't get excited. There are many things going on here!"

At this time, Zhu Biao also hurriedly persuaded his father.

He was really afraid that his father would get too excited and pass out!

Seeing that the father and son had slowly calmed down, Master Hu spoke softly.

"You two like this scene, and I like it too!"

"But precisely because I like it, and precisely because this is the true future of military development, I would say that there are huge problems here!"

"First of all, let's talk about the manufacturing of muskets and cannons. If you don't have a large number of professional craftsmen, how can you guarantee the quality and output?"

"You know, as early as the Qin Dynasty a thousand years ago, all the parts of the Qin crossbows were universal."

"Assembly line production, every part can be used on any Qin crossbow!"

"But what about the Ming Dynasty today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

The Ming Dynasty really couldn't do this.

But he is not afraid of this!
He is not dead yet, he is still capable. There are not enough craftsmen, so we just need to train some.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was only distracted for a moment and then stood up again, Master Hu smiled and asked the second question.

"Okay, I think you can handle the craftsman's problem!"

"What about the officials?"

"Ordinary officials probably don't even understand the process, let alone how to develop new firearms!"

"You can't let this group of Confucian scholars who only know how to talk about various things go against a group of craftsmen to play the lute to a cow, right?"

"That's not even talking to a cow, it's like talking to a chicken!"

When Master Hu said this, he curled the corners of his mouth and continued with a smile.

"Besides, what about what I just mentioned, what about you, the sergeant?"

"These muskets and cannons are becoming more and more powerful, and they are not as easy to use as knives!"

"What do you do now?"
