Zhu Biao looked at Quan Xu and said: "You personally take my warrant, go and ask the saint to seal, and then go to the Ministry of Industry to ask for firearms and equip your 30,000 people!" ”

Zhu Biao, neither the identity of the crown prince nor the general of Tiance, had any power, and directly asked the Ministry of Industry for equipment.

No one can move the ordnance lightly without the emperor's order, Zhu Biao said and wrote the required firearms on the paper book, and then stamped the prince's treasure seal with him.

This seal was given on the day of the canonization of the crown prince, Zhu Biao is still the first time to use, the shape of the squatting dragon button, the platform, four inches square, one inch and two minutes thick, extremely exquisite.

Quan Xu respectfully took the note with both hands, which was originally just an ordinary piece of paper, but after being stamped with the crown prince's treasure seal, he carried the will of the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Quan Xu immediately went down and rushed back to Nanjing, and Zhu Biao sat on a chair thinking about the scene of the soldier who used firearms in the drill just now.

The use of firearms is still very crude, basically just throwing it down after a shot, and then pulling out a knife to cut people.

Zhu Biao remembered a movie he had watched before, and he had long forgotten what it was called, but he still clearly remembered a clip in which the Manchu Eight Banners charged on horseback, while the Anglo-French troops stood in three rows and took turns firing muskets.

After the first platoon finished fighting, the second platoon made up for it and continued to shoot, and then the men in the last platoon had time to reload the muskets with ammunition, and so on, and the Eight Banners cavalry was finally defeated and fled without even approaching thirty meters.

This is a very good and simple and practical solution, especially against cavalry, of course, the current musket is far inferior to the modern musket, so you can add some elite crossbowmen to it, so you can provide plenty of consistent firepower!

As long as this is figured out, in fact, the principle is very simple, Zhu marked that this was still invented by Mu Ying, but it was when Yunnan was pacified in the future.

Zhu Biao did not order the whole army to implement this law because there were not many firearms in various departments, and if they were concentrated, they would not only affect the military formations that had been training, but would also easily cause a backlash from the generals.

Therefore, Zhu Biao plans to try it on his 30,000 pro-army first, and if the effect is really good, he will promote it to the whole army and form a firearms battalion.

When Zhu Biao was still thinking about how to improve, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong walked in, and Zhu Biao also stood up to show respect.

The three of them sat down after seeing the salute, and Chang Yuchun said: "Your Highness's various departments have mastered their belongings, now wait for Mu Ying to arrive, and we can swear to go on the expedition." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "That's good, I won't leave, just stay here, and the general will also follow the army during this time." ”

Li Wenzhong nodded and said: "This is very good, the general and the generals should also be more familiar, and I will stay." ”

Chang Yuchun said with a smile: "I still have to take medicine, so I won't be with you young people." ”

Zhu Biao also smiled, Chang Yuchun wanted to dilute his sense of existence, after all, he was the military boss, if he was here, the generals would always have to act according to his intentions.

Then Zhu Biao stayed in the military tent, and when he got up the next day, he saw Quan Xu and Liu Jin guarding outside his tent, Zhu Biao went out and stretched and said, "How are things?" ”

Quan Xu replied: "The saint has already stamped the seal, and the last general has also handed over the will to the Ministry of Industry Shangshu in person, but Nanjing's firearms reserves are no longer enough, and I am afraid that I can only make up 20,000 firearms." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, he didn't think that he could get together 30,000 firearms, after all, this is a good thing, and that unit needs it, if Zhu Biao hadn't gone through the back door, he wouldn't have thought to get these 20,000 pieces: "When will it be delivered at the earliest?" ”

Quan Xu replied: "Delivered in three days!" ”

Zhu Biao knew it, so he didn't ask any more questions, but glanced at Liu Jin, who was preparing to wash the utensils, and asked with a smile: "Didn't you let you watch the house, why did you come out again?"

Liu Jin said with a hippie smile: "Only with you can there be a slave's home, if you are not there, where is the house, and the house will not fly away, the slave and maid will naturally follow and serve you." ”

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction, to be honest, he was really unaccustomed to not having Liu Jin by his side.

After Zhu Biao washed, Liu Jin went down to arrange Zhu Biao's meal in person.

In the next half a month, Zhu Biao did not return to the palace, but kept letting Quan Xu lead the pro-army to practice the "three-stage attack", and Zhu Biao did not hide it from the generals and commanders in the army, and he couldn't hide such a big battle.

Zhu Biao continued to practice the three-stage strike in his mind, first trying the simplest, with three people in a team, first the musketeer at the front shooting, then retreating to the rear of the team to concentrate on loading ammunition, and the second soldier stepped forward to fire.

Three people alternate reloading and firing, tripling the efficiency of arquebuses that would otherwise take a minute or more to shoot at a time!

Then I felt that if the enemy cavalry was large and not afraid of sacrifice, it would be easy for the moving soldiers to be reluctant to return to the first row.

So I tried to install a horse fence in front of the formation, and then arranged for soldiers to work in groups of three, so that the soldier with the highest shooting accuracy acted as the shooter, and the other two were responsible for the assembly of bullets and arquebuses.

After the shooter fires, a second soldier takes the musket and loads the gunpowder from the front end, which is tamped and loaded with bullets. The third soldier simultaneously adjusts the position of the arquebus from the rear, moves the trigger to its original position, and then hands the musket to the shooter, allowing for non-stop firing.

I tried to add elite crossbowmen next to firearms, and practiced again and again, so that more and more generals participated in the discussion, and the more I argued, the more I felt that this method was good.

During the period, Zhu Biao naturally had to compliment Zhu Biao, and even this Zhu Yuanzhang put down the official business in his hand, ran to take a look in person, and finally patted Zhu Biao's shoulder with satisfaction, and went back happily. ”

The generals are naturally greedy, but it is still the same sentence, there are not enough firearms, and only Zhu Biao can find out the family background of the Ming Dynasty, and now the entire Ministry of Industry can't take out a firearm.

At least not this year, but the Ministry of Industry has already summoned craftsmen to manufacture a large number of firearms, and there will be a batch of firearms compared to next year.

Zhu Biao also called a group of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and said a bunch of his own firearms ideas.

Finally, looking at the dazed craftsmen, Zhu Biao also sighed helplessly, he had never touched any real firearms in his previous life, and he was not a military fan, so what he talked about was not so easy to understand, but he could only hope for them.

After another two days, Mu Ying finally led the army back, Zhu Biao glanced at Mu Ying and the listless soldiers behind him, thinking that if he went out now, would he mutini directly.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao was not that kind of person, he ordered the soldiers who came to come not to train for three days, and they all rested, and then let Mu Ying sleep for two hours, and then dragged him to chat in the middle of the night to interview him and go back to rest.

I have to say that there is indeed a fate between people, he doesn't know why he is so close to Mu Ying, even if he hasn't seen him for a long time, he is very kind.
