"Your Highness, these folds have been divided." Liu Jin came to Zhu Houzhao's side, put a piece of music on the table, and said respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, didn't look up, and said directly to Liu Jin: "I know, take those folds and burn them!" ”

For those twists and turns, Zhu Houzhao didn't look at it at all, and directly let people take it and burn it, saying some, and Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to look at it. Everyone's interests and positions are different, if they can say anything shocking, it will surprise Zhu Houzhao, so don't look at these twists and turns.

Liu Jin naturally didn't dare to slack off, agreed, then turned around and waved his hand, signaling a few little eunuchs to take the fold and burn it.

Zhu Houzhao naturally knows what Daddy means, and since he sent these twists and turns to himself, he naturally knows how he will treat them. I just need to follow my own step-by-step ideas, and there are no other problems. Standing up and stretching his waist, Zhu Houzhao is also very quiet these days, and he really wants to go out for a walk.

"Let's take a look at the War Bureau!" Zhu Houzhao took a few steps forward, and then opened his mouth to Liu Jin beside him.

Speaking of which, Zhu Houzhao is still very concerned about this yamen, after all, this is Zhu Houzhao's reliance, and it is the ordnance development yamen of the Ming Dynasty.

Since the opening of the steel mill, coupled with the water punching pressure and the launch of the assembly line, Daming has been very skilled in the forging of ordinary weapons and armor. Large-scale production is not a problem, and you can basically build as much as you want. However, Zhu Houzhao has always looked down on these, which person from later generations did not want firearms, spears and cannons.

Even the worst rifle is fine, Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to this, because only guns are epoch-making.

Many people say why later dynasties are getting more and more cowardly, and they can't hang the grassland like the Qin and Han dynasties, the fact is not only because of human problems, but because the technological lead has disappeared. During the Qin and Han dynasties, the productive forces of the Central Plains Dynasty developed rapidly, and the large-scale equipment of various iron weapons, coupled with the popularization of armor and stirrups and horseshoes, made the Qin and Han dynasties maintain a great advantage over the grassland in terms of equipment.

Although the riding skills may not be as good, and the archery skills are not as good, but in the case of leading technology and equipment, the grassland crying father and mother, who can also fight, can be said to be hanging.

But as time went on, this technological advantage gradually wore out, and the peoples of the steppe learned who used the saddle, the horseshoe, and the iron weapon. Although the Central Plains still maintains advanced technology to a certain extent, there is no generation difference, and this slight advantage in technology can no longer make up for the ferocity tempered by mounted archery and survival in a difficult environment.

The Ming Dynasty is the embodiment of this situation in the Houjin, many of the Houjin's style is no longer like the steppe herdsmen, they have more advanced technology, and at the same time maintain bravery, which is why they were able to beat the steppe Mongolia. People from later generations know that once a generation gap is formed in weapons and equipment, it will be the result of crushing.

Now if you want to form a generation gap on the grassland, it is definitely not enough to rely on swords, guns and armor alone, even if the Ming Dynasty has strong national strength and trains elite soldiers, but it is still not enough.

Besides, what about the pirates of the West in this world? Although Da Ming hasn't fought against them yet, it's not far away.

The development of guns and firearms is a trend, so after stabilizing the production of swords and armor, Zhu Houzhao's goal is naturally aimed at firearms, and artillery and muskets are on the agenda. The arquebus Zhu Houzhao will not consider it, it is too backward, at least it must be a flintlock pistol, and more importantly, the improvement of the artillery, the truth is within the range of the cannon!

brought people to the War Bureau, Zhang Yong has been in charge of the War Bureau in recent years, speaking of which he has done a good job, Zhu Houzhao is quite satisfied.

As soon as the carriage arrived at the military battle bureau, he heard a rumbling sound, obviously this was a cannon, Zhu Houzhao instantly became interested, and said with a smile: "It's time for this palace to come, go in and take a look!" ”

Zhu Houzhao naturally no one dared to stop him, but it was inevitable to ventilate the news, and when Zhu Houzhao was halfway through, the sound of the cannon had already stopped, and Zhang Yong came out from inside. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yong's body trembled with excitement, and he knelt directly on the ground, pestle the ground with his head: "Slave and maid see Your Highness!" ”

In fact, Zhang Yong felt that his life in the past two years had not been very good, and he had been dealing with iron guys and craftsmen all day long on the side of the War Bureau.

If it weren't for the occasional encouragement and reward from His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Yong would have even felt that he was about to be forgotten, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, Zhang Yong couldn't help himself with excitement.

Zhu Houzhao walked over with a smile, stretched out his foot and kicked Zhang Yong, and said with a smile: "Cry, cry, what's it like, get up!" When Zhang Yong stood up, Zhu Houzhao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Your merits are remembered by this palace, I can't forget you, I just walked in and heard someone firing a cannon, it seems that this palace is a coincidence today, take this palace over to take a look." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Zhang Yong was a little embarrassed, but he still followed happily, his face was about to smile like a flower.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still remembers himself, which is very worthy of making people happy, Zhang Yong is now thinking this way.

"Tell me about this palace, what is going on with you guys fighting today?" Zhu Hou looked at Zhang Yong and asked with interest, "Did you make something new?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it's a steel cannon." Zhang Yong naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, the so-called steel cannon is actually a steel cannon, of course, it is not all steel, but alloy. It is still Zhu Houzhao to get this thing, and the purpose is difficult to make simple, that is, to reduce costs and reduce the difficulty of manufacturing at the same time. Today's mainstream artillery is made of copper, but the cost is too high.

In order to ensure the power of the artillery, the copper cannon is thick and heavy, which is not conducive to handling, of course, the most important thing is to reduce the cost. As a person from later generations, although Zhu Houzhao is not proficient in designing weapons, he also knows several key points of weapon design, which are simple in structure, low in cost, solid and durable, low in failure rate, and convenient and fast to manufacture.

For example, the PPS submachine gun of the former Soviet Union during World War II was originally designed and produced during the 900-day siege of Leningrad. Because supplies could not be brought in from the outside, the submachine gun was designed to be produced using only the machines and materials available at the time. The gun was previously produced in China, known as the Type 54 submachine gun.

Daming is so big, if you want large-scale equipment, you naturally need to reduce costs, otherwise even Daming's size will not be able to hold it.
