When Sun Chuanting was recommended by Zhu Shun to be a master of Cao Wenzhao, he had seen with his own eyes all kinds of new firearms produced by Wang Gongju, the predecessor of the Daming Arms Company.

The rear-loading flintlock pistol, which is two generations more advanced than the arquebus, the Dongfeng rocket with an extremely long range, and the Type 300 rifled gun that snipes the enemy from a long range.

With the help of these new firearms, Sun Chuanting was sure to defeat the 200,000-strong army of thieves in the Pingchuan area.

The Miyun guard sergeant under Cao Dingjiao is now not what it used to be, after these years of training, all of them are equipped with doumi-style rifles, and there is also an artillery regiment and a rocket regiment.

In order to let the border pass have an unstoppable brave army, the industrialists spent a lot of silver to buy a large number of captured Liaodong horses from Mangui Cao Wenzhao and sent them to the Miyun guard.

The Miyun Guard Firearms Army is very mobile, and it can completely run long distances for hundreds of miles a day, because it is riding a Liaodong horse, and it can also maintain a certain amount of physical strength to fight.

As an important guard against the Mongol Tatars, the Miyun Guard could not take all the more than 6,000 soldiers of one guard and one family, at most half of them, that is, more than 3,000 people.

However, it is possible to take away the artillery regiment and the rocket regiment, and in this severe war, standardized artillery and rockets are the only ones who will sing.

The artillery regiment is divided into three battalions, two field artillery battalions for field battles, and one siege artillery battalion for siege cities, and the caliber of the artillery is different.

Zhu Shun thought for a while and said: "The siege artillery is too heavy to be suitable for field warfare, in order to have a greater certainty in this big battle, it is best to replace the siege artillery with field artillery." ”

"In this way, the stewards of the Prince's Mansion who are guarding the door of the warehouse of the munitions company have grabbed a lot of artillery of various calibers these days, but for them, they like the more powerful siege guns, which do not need to be transported, and are all loaded on the ships of naval warfare."

"First use these siege guns to replace them with field guns, and after a while, my uncle will replace them with new artillery with a service life of 1,000 rounds."

A thousand rounds of service life?

Cao Dingjiao was stunned, as an old soldier who has been galloping on the field for many years, he is very familiar with the situation of various firearms, and hearing this news is no less than the crop man hearing that rice can yield 1,000 catties per mu.

It was a daylight dream, absolutely impossible.

But my uncle has already said it, so this matter is true, Cao Dingjiao, who has always had a calm personality, suddenly became impatient: "Uncle, when can I replace my nephew with a batch, the year after tomorrow?" Or the year after that? ”

The service life of the artillery can reach 1,000 rounds, and it must be difficult to cast it in Cao Dingjiao's ideology, to say the least, it will take two or three years.

With the assembly-line production capacity of the Daming Arms Company, where does it take so long, Zhu Shun roughly estimated and said: "At the latest next year, in the spring of next year, we will be able to replace the Miyun guard with a batch of new artillery." ”

Cao Dingjiao heard that he would be able to replace a batch in the spring of next year, and he didn't know what to say if he was in place, the artillery regiment had a total of more than 200 artillery, and it could be cast in such a short time, and the ability of the Daming Arms Company to produce artillery was too fast.

Anyway, it was for Cao Dingjiao to change it himself, how could there be any reason to hope that it would be later, he shook his head, and quickly threw this unlucky thought out of his head.

Cao Dingjiao's calm face with a hint of playfulness and a rare smile appeared, with such a batch of artillery with a service life of more than twice the original.

If you plan carefully, you will definitely make Jiannu suffer a big loss, and there is hope for the children of the two thousand Eight Banners to be smashed in the first battle.

In a normal war, if you want to kill the 2,000 children of the Eight Banners of Jiannu, the Ming army must have at least 10,000 casualties.

The two sides have been fighting for so many years, and the bravery and ferocity of the Eight Banners are obvious to all, and the casualty ratio of Daming and Jiannu has reached a terrifying ten to one.

With this new type of artillery, Cao Dingjiao was even confident that he could eat 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers without spending a single soldier.

Originally, Zhu Shun told Cao Dingjiao to be careful to guard against Jiannu in the north during this time, and at the latest in the spring of next year, Jiannu would definitely attack Daming again.

After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had already established a country, and after the formation of the Eight Banners of the Mongols and the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, their strength was much stronger than before.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the foundation was not stable.

The Manchus urgently needed a big war, a great victory in attacking the capital of the Ming Dynasty, to achieve the political goals that the Manchus needed.

With the potatoes produced in Beihaier Lake Province, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's food in winter was no longer as scarce as in the past, and this time the attack on the Ming Jingshi was becoming more and more urgent.

Politics is significant.

As long as they can attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty again, and the news reaches the vassal states around the territory of the Ming Dynasty, these vassal states will understand that the Ming Dynasty, which was in full swing in the past, is just a sick tiger.

is still a terminally ill tiger without teeth and claws, these general vassal states will naturally think carefully, after all, they are not Ming people, not a nation, and their sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty is not very heavy.

The Manchus also needed this attack on the capital of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the hearts of the people and tell all the people of the Qing Kingdom who was orthodox.

Because of the fact that the Manchu Qing Dynasty would attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Cao Dingjiao originally hoped that the spring of next year would come as late as possible, but now he was a little impatient.

Can't wait for the Manchus to taste the power of the new artillery.

The new artillery of various calibers was robbed by the prince's mansion, but there are still a lot of Dongfeng rockets, Zhu Shun took the lake pen on the mountain character ceramic pen grid, and wrote a letter of approval to Cao Dingjiao: "Take this to a worker's ticket number when you leave." ”

"Take a batch of silver from the worker's ticket number, find Ruvio and buy all the Dongfeng rockets."

The approval of Zhu Shun's handwritten letter was not to go directly to the Daming Arms Company to get the approval of Dongfeng Rocket, but to first take away a batch of silver, and then use the silver to buy.

In this way, although it is much more complicated, it is important to stick to this practice.

This is a large company wants to grow the system problem, approval is only an expedient measure, the maladministration of the past dynasties, are because of the expediency at the beginning of the founding of the country, at the beginning of the expediency, with the country bigger the more can not be contained.

Zhu Shun naturally would not make such a low-level mistake, and had already established a perfect system with the two talents of the Strategy Department, and insisted on leading by example.

Zhu Shun glanced at the Western chiming bell next to a pair of calligraphy and paintings, the time was not early, got up and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go home for dinner first, and talk about something after eating." ”

"It just so happens that Bianjiao and your Uncle Zhu Tie have returned from Liaodong, and now they are learning new tactics in the Army's martial arts hall, and they will be called over for a meal later."

"You haven't seen Changjiao for a while, and you can still see Uncle Zhu Tie, who makes you respect very much."
