Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 130 Competition! Bing Zhan Bureau expressed great pressure!

Bureau of Ordnance.

Things are looking great.

The bird gun has been successfully launched and is now in mass production.

With the help of various molds and the streamlined production model, the Ordnance Bureau and the Staff Bureau were able to produce a large number of muskets in a short period of time, which could fully keep up with the Northern Expedition to Wala.

Zhu Gaoxu inspected the Arms Bureau, and then ordered someone to summon Hai Shou, the eunuch of the Military War Bureau.

The Military Arms Bureau is different from the Ordnance Bureau. The Arms Bureau is under the Ministry of Industry, but the Armed Arms Bureau is an eunuch's office. It is an agency of the Eighth Bureau of the Ming Dynasty that manufactures military equipment and ironware for palace use.

In other words, the Bingzhan Bureau is responsible for making knives, spears, swords, halberds, whips, axes, helmets, armor, bows, arrows and other military instruments, as well as iron locks, needles, scissors, and bells and drums used for rituals. However, it But it is controlled by a group of eunuchs and belongs to the Eighth Bureau of the Inner Government.

Emperor Yongle trusted and valued eunuchs, which was criticized by later generations.

Eunuch Haishou rushed over quickly, his white and beardless face filled with flattery.

My lord, why did you call me here?

You must know that Hai Shou is the eunuch in charge of the Bingzhan Bureau, and he is the eunuch with the highest status and power in the Bingzhan Bureau.

But this mere palm print eunuch is nothing in front of the Han King Zhu Gaoxu!

Therefore, Eunuch Haishou kept a low profile and rushed over immediately after receiving the news.

After all, the Prince of Han in front of him has not only always been the emperor's favorite son, but now he oversees the country's governance and is very likely to replace the crown prince in the Ninth Five-Year Plan!

What's more, the emperor issued an order not long ago, ordering His Highness the King of Han to supervise the war situation, so this man is still his immediate superior, Eunuch Haishou, and he cannot afford to offend him.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the flattering dead eunuch and asked calmly: Hai Shou, haven't you completed the reform of your military strategy?

Last time, Zhu Laosi handed over the military situation to Zhu Gaoxu to reform it together, but he did not have so much time and energy.

Therefore, the Prince of Han directly asked Hai Shou, the eunuch in charge of the Military and War Bureau, to bring the craftsmen to the Ordnance Bureau to study and complete the reform of the Military and War Bureau himself.

Now, under the leadership of Old Liu Tou, the Arms Bureau has successfully developed even epoch-making firearms such as blunderbuss, but the war bureau run by this dead eunuch has not yet completed its reform!

In this case, Prince Han will be held accountable!

Hai Shou was shocked and immediately explained: Your Majesty, it is already changing!

Now the wages of the craftsmen in the Military War Bureau have been increased, and the production model has also been changed to streamlined production. However, there are still many mold master machines that are still being produced, so the production efficiency of our Military War Bureau cannot compare with the Ordnance Bureau. …”

This is the truth. After all, the reform of the Arms Bureau was carried out first, and it was the Prince of Han who carried out the reform himself, so he naturally had the advantage.

The war situation was like a stepmother's birth. Grandma didn't care for his uncle, so Hai Shou could only learn from him and implement reforms with all his strength.

Even in order to rush to make those molds and prototypes, Haishou even asked Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to transfer several skilled and experienced master craftsmen from the Ordnance Bureau.

When he thought of this, Hai Shou felt extremely aggrieved.

Civil servants like Song Li who thought highly of themselves had always looked down on eunuchs like Hai Shou.

If it wasn't for the sake of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, Song Li would never have bothered with a damn eunuch.

But even so, Hai Shou was often ridiculed and ridiculed.

Thinking about it, Eunuch Haishou couldn't help but sigh.

Your Majesty, you also supervise the military affairs, why can't you come to our bureau to provide guidance...

What can't be done? How can I, the king, have so much time and energy?

Zhu Gaosui was angry and amused when he saw Eunuch Haishou acting like a wronged little wife.

The Ordnance Bureau has completed the reform, and this damn eunuch just brought the craftsmen here to study. Why does he have to go to the War Bureau himself?

Moreover, the specific institutions in charge of the Ming Dynasty's arms manufacturing industry were the Arms Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry's Yu Heng Qing Li Department and the War and War Bureau under the jurisdiction of the inner government.

In addition, the weapons manufacturing warehouses, Wuziku and Guangjiku, are also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry.

Wuziku stores bows, arrows, armor and other items, while Guangjiku stores sulfur, saltpeter and other items.

In order to climb the technology tree, Zhu Gaoxu naturally focused on the Arms Bureau.

Damn eunuch, there are so many things going on.

However, Zhu Gaoxu intended to create a competitive relationship between the Military Affairs Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau, so he could not allow one company to dominate.

According to his original intention, the two bureaus were separated and built into military-industrial enterprises, under the direct leadership of the royal family.

As a result, the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau have formed a competitive relationship. When the army purchases weapons and supplies, both parties will bid for the army's orders!

Under the premise of competition and threats, the two major military industry companies dare not relax and encourage their own craftsmen to continuously develop and innovate, climb the technological tree, and enhance the competitiveness of their own military products so as not to be overwhelmed by the other party.

The military will purchase products whose quality is better and whose price is cheaper.

If the quality is not good and the price is high, the military will naturally give up purchasing.

Under such competitive conditions, the two companies can only protect themselves from being eliminated by desperately improving their competitiveness!

In this way, they will pay more attention to craftsmen who master the skills, and the lives of the craftsmen will be easier.

Now the Ordnance Bureau is in a good situation and has mastered the production technology of gunshots. The War Bureau is still undergoing reform and has fallen far behind.

The fact that the Ordnance Bureau is the only one company is really not conducive to this plan.

We must find a way to develop a unique craft for the War Bureau.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu sighed.

Let's go, damn eunuch, let's go with you!

Eunuch Haishou was overjoyed when he heard this, and his smile was as bright as a chrysanthemum. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

Of course, his ears automatically ignored the unpleasant title of dead eunuch.

Who allowed him to be the prisoner of the country, Prince Han?

However, at this moment, a guard in uniform suddenly ran over.

His Royal Highness, King of Han, what's wrong, Lord Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, just fainted in the Ministry of War!

What? Wasn't he fine here just now?

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and asked subconsciously.

Just now, they were enjoying the cannon together, but as soon as they returned to the military headquarters, they fainted. What is this?

Jin Zhong, Jin Zhong, please don’t belch!

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered: Let all the old guys in Tai Hospital go to Jin Mansion to diagnose and treat old Jintou!

After hearing this, Jin Yiwei nodded and immediately took the order and left.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Eunuch Haishou again, and explained with a wry smile: You have also seen it. Now something happened suddenly. Jin Zhong is the old man's confidant. I have to go to visit. Let's go to the military battle station tomorrow!

I understand, my lord, just go ahead.

Eunuch Haishou was helpless and could only nodded.

This Jin Zhong fainted at the wrong time!

However, His Highness the King of Han has already agreed, so there is no rush for this day.

Eunuch Haishou was also very anxious. He heard that the King of Han intended to let the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau form a competitive relationship to win military orders through bidding.

Now that the Ordnance Bureau has not only completed the innovation, but also mastered the manufacturing process of muskets, the War Bureau has lagged far behind!

If you can't keep up with the footsteps of Prince Han, you will be eliminated from the Bingzhan Bureau in the end, or even be removed from the Eighth Bureau of the Inner Palace!

Full of grievances, Hai Shou returned to the war station worriedly.

Send the order and tell me the craftsmen of the Military War Bureau, who can improve the firearms, I will reward them with a hundred gold!
