Approaching the end of the year, and the end of the New Year will be more yuan, Nanjing City suddenly celebrated a lot, many opera troupes from all over the country rushed in at this time, beating gongs and drums are not lively, Zhu Yunwen is not interested in this, he used to only like to listen to cross talk about quyi.

Xu Hui Zula left Beijing at the beginning of the month, Zhu Yunwen personally sent it with hundreds of civil and military officials, and thousands of copies of the newspaper were printed and sent to all parts of the country, which can be regarded as building momentum and saving the world's rumors, Tie Xuan also specially found Zhu Yunwen for this reason, and the new army has been training for more than three months, and all aspects of the spirit and spirit have really changed a lot, and Comrade Tie is looking forward to being able to pull him to the front line to give it a try.

"There's no rush to this."

Zhu Yunwen was Tie Xuan who met with Yu Hengsi, speaking of Yu Hengsi, everyone may not be familiar with Yu Hengsi, Yu Hengsi is subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, and the main unit under its jurisdiction is the Ordnance Bureau, and the Weapons Bureau of Yu Hengsi and the Imperial Front Division is the arsenal of Daming Firearms.

Since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he abolished the establishment of the War Bureau, separated and merged the parts of the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau responsible for the manufacture of cold weapons, and still came under the jurisdiction of the Yu Heng Division Ordnance Bureau.

The firecracker in the early Ming Dynasty was very long, nearly four feet, that is, about one meter two, similar in length to the Mauser rifle of later generations, but what Zhu Yunwen didn't expect was that the Ming Dynasty firecracker in this era could be fired in bursts!

The Ordnance Bureau in the 26th year of Hongwu developed a gun that can support three consecutive shots, but because the protection technology is not yet mature, it is easy to blow up, so it is not equipped with troops to use, until this year to perfect this technology, Zhu Yunwen also tried once, the feel is very poor, the power is not good, within 50 steps can penetrate the cotton armor, after this distance, there are few kills.

Despite this, Zhu Yunwen was still very happy, so he named this musket: "Next year will be mass-produced, armed with the new army Shenji battalion, next year is the first year of Jianwen, let's call it Jianwen-style musket." ”

The reason why he is in Yu Hengsi is mainly because Zhu Yunwen sent Yu Hengsi to make a companion for the Jianwen-style musket.

Bayonet!

In view of the fact that the steelmaking technology of this era was far from reaching the level of later generations, the officials of Yu Hengsi made changes to the original drawings designed by Zhu Yunwen, and changed the bayonet into a mound, that is, a three-edged spear, to strengthen the stability of the structure.

The position of musketeers in the Ming army is relatively special, in terms of long-range output ability, they are not as good as crossbowmen, and in terms of melee output ability, they are not as good as traditional infantry cavalry, so they have always belonged to the role of chicken ribs.

However, in the training of the new army, because of Zhu Yunwen's instructions, musketeers accounted for a large part, nearly 260,000 troops, and musketeers accounted for 100,000.

Because of this, Tie Xuan almost didn't resign from Zhu Yunwen, and all the traditional spearmen were adapted into musketeers, and his melee ability was cut by at least half.

"The new army naturally has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but now is not the time, I went to take a look a few days ago, the appearance of the army, the spirit is still passable, there is a little bit of what I want to see, but there are still some gaps, wait, when the spring begins, I will let you go to the north to practice and take a turn, and it will be almost the same to come back when you see blood."

Zhu Yunwen picked up a bayonet, looked at it a few times, and then stretched out his hand, "Go get a musket." ”

The biggest difference between the new musket and the previous musket is that it is similar to the butt of the hind limbs, which is not to relieve recoil, but to add a sense of curve to the body of the gun, the original musket is like a long stick, the front is thick and narrow, and it is not suitable for stabbing in the hand, and the improved musket is an extension of the tail in addition to the hoop groove for the bayonet under the barrel, which is the extension of the tail, the length is nearly one meter five, and after the bayonet, the length extends to nearly one meter seven.

Zhu Yunwen added the bayonet, held it in his hand and imitated the posture of the soldiers of later generations, stabbed the void twice, and was very satisfied, so he handed it to Tie Xuan, "You can try it." ”

Tie Xuan had already understood when he saw it, and it was itchy at this time, but he still didn't dare to take over, "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Dancing in front of the emperor is a capital crime, in case there is a careless, injured and shocked, then it will be fine.

Shuangxi was clever, Yu Hengsi had a wooden bayonet mold, so he took it and replaced the steel thorn, and checked that there were no projectiles in the musket.

Zhu Yunwen looked at his awkward look and laughed, "Wrong, wrong." ”

Tie Xuan really used this thing as a spear, and when he saw that Zhu Yunwen was not satisfied, and it was awkward to play with himself, he learned what Zhu Yunwen had just done, stabbed it a few times in the air, and turned around, "Your Majesty, this thing is that simple?" ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "It's that simple, don't think about playing any tricks, if you can practice this stabbing technique well, it's enough to take it to the battlefield." ”

"Short-handed, that is to play with life, which is like street art and still fighting, when the musketeers are fully equipped with a shot, you will bury your head in the hard practice of this stab, find some people in the camp to make a wooden formation to practice, when fighting, the spear will be stabbed, pointing directly at the throat and the door, etc., the white knife will enter and the red knife will come out."

Zhu Yunwen played for a while, and didn't stop until he was sweating slightly, "Do you remember the linear tactical style of play I said before?" ”

Tie Xuan nodded, "Remember everything." ”

Zhu Yunwen wiped his face and walked out of Yu Hengsi, "These are all gifts prepared by Lao Tzu for that group of Mongolians, after two years and hundreds of cannons, you will know that the invincible Mongolian cavalry back then, in addition to sabers, bows and arrows, as well as goat's milk spirits, in addition to killing and wrestling, they are also very good at singing and dancing." ”

Mongolians, can they still sing and dance?

Tie Xuan really couldn't imagine the appearance of a group of seven-foot men dancing with their hands and drinking blood, and he was not embarrassed to ask, so he lowered his head and walked behind Zhu Yunwen.

"The two armies are facing each other, the cavalry is protected on both wings, the front army puts our musket battalion, and the artillery battalion is placed behind, the enemy rushes into the formation, first has to brave the overwhelming shells, and so on into a hundred steps, but also to hit the rain of bullets that can not be avoided, a distance of a hundred steps, there is no problem for the musket battalion to fight a round, the first row fights first, retreats into the artillery array after the fight, the second row continues to fight, and so the third row is finished, the enemy cavalry that is easy to rush in will crash into the artillery camp position head-on, hundreds of iron cast cannons are movable city walls, The enemy's ability to sprint with war horses will be contained, and the cavalry that can't run is a live target. ”

The more Zhu Yunwen said, the happier he became, "I also designed a helmet, the eaves of the helmet are lengthened, and the army is wearing chain mail at that time, although I dare not say that it is 100% protected, but the threat of cavalry shooting by the enemy cavalry is enough to be minimized, they can't hit us from a distance, if they want to create a threat, at least they have to pay more than half of the casualties to get close, once they get close to the artillery array, the cavalry on both wings will outflank them, and it will be completely annihilated." ”

Tie Xuan was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Your Majesty, this style of play is good, the whole army wears iron helmets and chain mail, and the minimum cost is more than three times that of the current one." ”

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand indifferently, "In my opinion, fighting a war is to win the national strength and economy, and relying on human lives is the most stupid, do you know what poor equipment is, we have to crush them from the equipment, my most ideal war is to destroy 100,000 enemies, and self-loss is not more than 3,000." ”

The US military attacked Iraq, but before it landed, it fired thousands of Tomahawk missiles to wash the ground in one day, opened the way for five or six billion dollars a day, and destroyed the country in a week, with zero casualties of its own. I've heard that there are a lot of eardrum perforations that have been shocked by cannons, but that doesn't count.

As for the guerrilla warfare that fell into the sea of the Iraqi people after the landing, and thousands of people died, it was inevitable.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty fought Mongolia, did it have this ability?

In Zhu Yunwen's eyes, there is, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is ridiculous, Hongwu and Yongle were the most prosperous in the early Ming Dynasty, although there is Renxuanzhi and Hongzhi Zhongxing, but it is precisely going downhill, whether it is money and grain taxes, or the quality and quantity of the army, Hongwu Dynasty, at least five Chongzhen Dynasty!

You say it's ridiculous, it's not ridiculous.

People are standing still in the sky, but the Ming Dynasty is good, and they have retreated after walking for more than 200 years.

Zhu Yunwen has this confidence, once the new army is trained and the artillery camp is formed, he will be able to enjoy the Mongolian girl's enthusiastic and heroic dance in the difficult river!
