Jiangzhou City.

On the outskirts of the south of the city, across the river, a barren land, is building a large number of buildings, as more and more people in Jiangzhou City squeeze in, the development here is getting more and more rapid, the wealthy families, local squires, businessmen and the like, continue to enclose the land to build houses.

Jiangzhou Military Industry Division, the division is established near the intersection of Bashui and the Yangtze River, and dozens of acres of land in a radius belong to the Military Industry Division.

Originally, there was no military industry division in the Minghou Mansion, just to supply weapons, and there were more and more foundry workshops established by each other, and the management became more and more chaotic, so Mujing integrated the Ming Yi Workshop under the command of the Ming Hou Mansion at the beginning of the fourth year of the Chu Ping, the Ming Yi Workshop in Chenggu in Hanzhong, the Military Workshop in Nanzheng in Hanzhong, the Ming Er Workshop in Wudu, and the Ming San Workshop in Nanyang Wudang...... There are at least 20 ordnance casting workshops, large and small, and the military industry department is established, and then it is attached to the soldiers.

Although the Military Industry Department is attached to Bingcao, it is actually between the Beiwutang and the South Study, and it is directly under the management of Zhaoming Pavilion.

The matter of weapons is a matter of life and death.

Mu Jing naturally wants to be in charge personally, he doesn't even let the South Study and the North Martial Arts Hall ask too much, some secret weapons are all supervised by him personally, unless it is really mass-produced, otherwise even the generals in the army don't know.

"Lord!"

Qi Ye is the head of the Military Industry Department, and he took more than ten officials from the Military Industry Department to walk out of the lobby of the Military Industry Department quickly, and bowed to the visiting Mu Jing in light clothes.

"Meet the Lord!"

The officials also saluted

"Ladies and gentlemen, no need to be polite!"

Mu Jing pressed his hand, which was regarded as a return gift, and then said to Qi Ye: "Yunxiao, I came here today just to see how the preparation process of the Military Industry Department is!" ”

"Report to the lord, according to the plan, the construction of the Military Industry Department will be completed in at least two months!"

Qi Ye replied: "The Military Industry Department involves too many things, including the Ordnance Research Institute, the Warship Research Institute, and so on, which need to be built, and it is currently not going to come down soon!" ”

"I know that!"

The pastor nodded, he said softly: "It's just that the soldiers are probably going to the battlefield not far away, the quality of the weapons is related to life and death, when the army is rectified, although the weapons are co-ordinated, but I found that many of them are damaged, and many of the swords are broken, the gun head is broken, and there are many weapons that need to be replaced, and the Department of Military Industry does not have so much time to understand whether to reissue or not, and it is necessary to prepare a batch of weapons as soon as possible and transport them to the barracks of various armies. You'll be able to complete the preparation of the Military Industry Division as soon as possible, and then run all the moving weapons, ready to mobilize and transport at any time! ”

"Lord, at present, the relocation of the Military Industry Department from Nanzheng will take time to rectify, but the main work of our Military Industry Department is complete, and it does not have much impact on the operation of the Military Industry Division, and the control of the workshops of various ministries is also in place, as long as the Lord gives an order, the storage weapons can be mobilized immediately!"

Qi Ye said.

He was just a businessman, but he had to know Mu Jing, and he spent more than three years working hard for Mu Jing, and even poured out all the connections and wealth of the Qi family, etc., and worked hard as a businessman for the Ming Hou Mansion, and finally won Mu Jing's trust.

Transformed into a master, such as a strike can become the head of a division, second only to the head of the Ming Marquis Mansion, or in charge of the military power, even if there are countless fierce generals in the army, they have to be respectful to themselves.

This made him more and more grateful and heart-wrenching to Mu Jing.

He said in a deep voice: "But if the lord needs too much, then it will take more time to prepare, at present, we only have the Ming Yi Workshop and the Nanzheng Weapons Workshop, maybe there are enough weapons reserves, whether it is the Ming Second Workshop, or the Ming Third Workshop, the current reserve weapons are insufficient, even if the craftsmen are asked to work overtime, for a while, it is not enough to make up the number of old weapons that can be replaced by our herdsmen!" ”

"If I want to move, how many weapons can I move?" Mu Jing asked.

Ordinary weapons are swords, iron shields, spears, bows and arrows, and battle armor.

"I have made a preliminary count, there are 20,000 spears, 30,000 swords, 5,000 chain mail, 15,000 leather armor, 3,000 light leather armor round shields, 800 heavy square shields, 10,000 stone bows, 2,000 stone bows, 100,000 three-stone bows, 120,000 arrows, and ......there are also a lot of large siege equipment, my lord, the year before last and last year consumed too many of our weapon reserves, at present, we can take it out, I'm afraid there are only so many!" Qi Ye's work was done very carefully, and an account was almost kept in mind.

"Less is less!"

Mu Jing squinted: "But it should be enough!" ”

The equipment is worn out on the battlefield, and after a battle, there are many that need to be replaced, collapsed, broken, and they are all useless.

This amount is enough for the current pastoral army to fill some weapons gaps.

He thought for a moment and asked, "How are the weapons workshops in Jiangzhou and Chengdu established at present?" ”

After taking charge of Yizhou, he had already ordered the Department of Military Industry to start establishing weapons workshops in Chengdu and Jiangzhou, but he didn't know how it was going.

"Jiangzhou is going well, why don't you go and inspect it yourself!"

Qi Ye said: "Jiangzhou Ordnance Workshop, our Military Industry Department, has decided to put on a new ordnance production line, and manufacture the highest technology and the most advanced iron-smelting technology, one hundred and twenty steel-making knives and five-bead crossbows!" ”

"Check it out!"

Mu Jing's eyes lit up slightly.

In the development of the military industry, he never slackened, not only staring at it all the time, but also not stingy with funds and talents, and trying his best to find it back if he wanted anything, even if he didn't.

Because he knows that the development of the military industry is related to one of the scales of victory in the war.

The battlefield confrontation may only be a moment, but behind the victory and defeat, there are many involved, which is a competition of manpower, financial resources, and national strength.

Jiangzhou Ordnance Workshop, next to the division of the Department of Military Industry, has fifty or sixty acres of land, as soon as you come in, there is a feeling of baking, the sound of banging is endless, and the stoves are burning fiercely.

"Lord!"

Chu Zheng trotted up, and his body was full of Han water.

He is the left engaged in the Military Industry Department, and only under Qi Ye, the head of the Ming Dynasty, is in charge of the Ming Yi Workshop, the largest ordnance workshop under the Ming Marquis Mansion, and is also responsible for the preparation of the current Jiangzhou Ordnance Workshop.

"I'll take a look at the situation of the Jiangzhou Arsenal!" Mu Jing said in a deep voice.

"My lord comes with me!"

Chu Zheng took Mu Jing into the workshop, and there were many craftsmen in the workshop, and there were also many warriors who were hammering and refining the knife blank: "This is the manufacturing workshop of Ming Yidao, and there are a total of thirty furnaces around, all of which are made of Ming Yidao!" ”

The Ming knife is the first weapon workshop of the Ming Hou Mansion and the Xu family workshop, developed by the first armory workshop, with one hundred and twenty refining levels, the shape of the head knife, and the modified war knife with a strong Tang knife style.

It is currently the favorite saber of the shepherd soldiers.

However, because the forging technology has not been completely mature, the number is not much, Jiangzhou Ordnance Workshop and Hongdu Science and Technology Institute have cooperated to modify the furnace, which has naturally become the largest manufacturing place of Ming Yidao, and the efficiency has increased by more than one and a half times.

"Next to it is the manufacturing workshop of Modao!"

"The five-bead crossbow is produced here, crafted, and sent to the side to combine, according to the assembly line proposed by the lord, so that the efficiency can be improved a lot!"
