Because of the strength of the Ming army and the advanced cognition of the Ming Dynasty, countries not only learn from the Ming Dynasty at the economic exhibition and science and technology exhibition, but also learn from the Ming Dynasty militarily. Nature's "2.

European countries imitated the military system of the Ming Dynasty, and also reformed their original military system, dividing the army into corps, divisions, regiments, battalions, companies, platoons, teams, etc., and establishing their own 'army', each army is also 20,000 people.

In the case of England, for example, nine armies were established on the mainland, with a total of 180,000 troops, and on the side of the English colonies in Africa, there were also eight armies with 160,000 colonial troops.

It can be said that although England's homeland is not large, but the wealth brought back by the colonial world for hundreds of years has made the British population on England itself not quite a lot, already more than 8 million people, precisely because of the support of more than 8 million people, together with the African colonial army, small England actually has more than 300,000 troops, even if the necessary garrison is removed, England can send more than 200,000 British troops to fight, and it is also the most powerful group among European countries.

Moreover, in addition to the 6th Army, which is not weak, England also has the most powerful maritime power in Europe, barely supporting the strongest position among the five sea powers of England.

Of course, France has the largest number of armies among European countries.

Although France was severely damaged by the Ming Dynasty a few years ago, losing more than 100,000 French troops, and was extorted a large amount of reparations by the Ming Dynasty, France is the most populous of European countries, and the colonized world at the beginning, after all, a lot of wealth has been saved, and there are still many colonies to support it.

Also because of the humiliating defeat a few years ago, the King of France was furious and secretly vowed to wash away the shame one day, so after the Ming army withdrew, the King of France went crazy to show his strength.

Although the sea power was far behind England, and even inferior to Spain and Portugal, France relied on the largest population of any European country to build the largest number of 6 armies in Europe.

The French army of the entire 27 armies was 540,000 French troops, and even if the necessary soldiers stationed in various places were excluded, the French army could still send at least nearly 400,000 people out to fight.

This number is unmatched by other countries, and it is also the largest number of troops since the founding of France.

In the end, it has reached the end of the seventeenth century, and tens of thousands of troops in history have fought in Europe, and at this moment France alone has more than 500,000 troops, no wonder that more than 200 years later, a single Germany about the size of France can send millions of troops to war, and tens of millions of troops were killed in Europe alone in World War II.

The shame of France was brought by the Ming Dynasty, and the ultimate goal of the King of France was, of course, the Ming Dynasty.

And the Ming Dynasty is so powerful that it makes countries afraid.

If you want to get back from the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the increase in the number of troops, it is obviously impossible to be useful, and the most important thing is the exhibition of military weapons, especially guns.

And the most advanced guns in the world are in Daming.

Studying the gun technology of the Ming Dynasty, European countries have had goals for a long time, and they know that the most important core of the gun technology of the Ming Dynasty is the new gunpowder and primer.

It is precisely because of these two clear goals that countries have tried their best to invest money in these two projects and are crazy about research.

France has the largest population of any European country, and the area around France has always been the most active place in European history except for the Italian peninsula, with many scientific and technological personnel.

In order to be ashamed of the ultimate goal of Daming, the King of France frantically invested in the research of these two only research projects that could make the French army qualitatively change, and the King of France also worked tirelessly to personally supervise these two research.

Therefore, in these two studies, France is at the forefront of European countries after all.

After several years of hard work, and with the actual gunpowder extracted from the Daming bullet as a comparison, France finally took the lead in allowing Europe to develop a new type of high gunpowder nearly 100 years earlier than in history.

"Hahaha, God forbid! God forbid! We succeeded, and we succeeded---------" With the ecstasy of a French researcher, France was the first in Europe to develop a new type of gunpowder.

When the news reached the ears of the King of France, the King of France laughed even more wildly.

"It's finally been developed! Our French army will surely undergo great changes because of this, and its strength will be greatly enhanced! Da Ming! Damn it! In the near future, I, France, will be ashamed! The King of France gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

In that year, the Ming expeditionary army of 30,000 troops, climbed 6 France, and entered Paris strongly, forcing him to abandon Paris and flee, even if he escaped from Paris, he was almost caught up and killed by the Ming army, that was the closest he felt to death, full of embarrassment and fear, this is the shame of his life, but also the shame of France.

If it weren't for such anger and shame, the King of France would not have been able to go crazy and rush the rest of Europe to develop a new type of gunpowder.

The King of France seemed to see the qualitative change of the French army, dominating Europe, and even catching up with the trend of the Ming Dynasty in the East, and his eyes couldn't help but shine with excitement.

However, the King of France did not rejoice for long, and soon something that made his heart congested.

Although on the day that the new gunpowder was developed, the king of France ordered a blockade of news, wanting to quietly change the French army one step ahead of European countries, so that the French army could truly dominate Europe and even unify Europe.

It's a pity that the news that he was the first in France to develop a new type of gunpowder somehow leaked out, not only England, but also Spain, the Netherlands, Holy Rome, and even Austria soon knew the news.

The countries were shocked, Spain, which was close to France, the Holy Roman Empire, etc., and was greatly disturbed. The Queen of England was so angry that she almost didn't grit her teeth.

All of a sudden, spies from all over the world gathered in Paris, and they were everywhere.

European countries have marriages with each other, and the kings of any country do not know how many spies from other countries are hidden around them, and it is the European countries that are jointly targeting France, and it is obviously impossible for France to prevent the secrets of the new gunpowder in this situation.

Even if they did not directly obtain the whole process of the new French gunpowder, but each country had its own research, and all of them made some achievements to a greater or lesser extent, but France was at the forefront, as long as the spies got a part of the research process of the French new gunpowder, it was enough for other countries to make a breakthrough and develop their own new gunpowder.

Sure enough, England was the first to announce that it had developed a new type of gunpowder after France, which shook the European Great 6.

Subsequently, the Holy Romans, the Netherlands, Spain, and even Austria successively acquired new gunpowder technology.

After the flint gun used new gunpowder, the range and power suddenly increased a lot, and similarly, it also greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the European ** teams.

However, it is not enough to develop a new type of gunpowder, there is another key, that is, to make the primer necessary for bullets to hit bullets.

After the European countries were excited, they were worried again, obviously only developing a new type of gunpowder was not enough to really make their army qualitatively change, let alone catch up with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
