The training of the artillery commander is also a small microcosm of the training methods of the Tang Army, and these trainings cost money, and they cost a lot of money.

The Datang Army, in fact, relied on strict military law, high-intensity training, and generous treatment to win the war!

Guns are just an additive!

Without guns, the Tang Army would still be able to rely on bayonet hand-to-hand combat to bring the Ming army down!

Of course, with guns is more powerful, and many of the tactics of the Datang Army are based on guns, so to a certain extent, guns are also an indispensable part of the Datang Army.

However, without ammunition, the Tang Army can fight with bayonets!

When Li Chunjing led tens of thousands of troops from Nanchang, Jiangxi Province to Yuezhou, he said to his chief of staff: If there is no ammunition, will we not fight? Was the bayonet used to see?

But in any case, the Datang Army is actually a very expensive army, and its equipment, training and treatment are a big level above the Ming Army in all aspects!

The Tang Army needs to spend more than one million taels of silver to raise an infantry division, even if it does not fight, and it only costs four or five hundred thousand taels of silver to maintain a strength of 15,000 people on the side of the superintendent.

In this case, if the Tang Army can't beat Zhang Yue's standard, then Li Xuan will have to wonder if the officials and generals under his command have embezzled all the military expenses, just like the Ming Dynasty opposite!

And after spending so much money, in fact, Li Xuan also wanted to see that the Tang Army directly defeated the Ming army with guns.

In the past, I couldn't see this kind of hope, but Su Song's first battle made him see this kind of hope.

In this battle, the Datang Army gave full play to its firepower advantages, especially grenades and grenades, which established great feats.

This also led to a significant reduction in the casualties of the Second Army in this battle!

The Second Army fought a few days of attacking the fortified operations, but its casualty ratio was the lowest in the previous offensive operations of the Tang Army, and the total casualties of the Second Army in this battle were only about 1,000.

Among them were the gunners killed and wounded in the early artillery battles, the officers and men of the assault battalion and the officers and men of the 7th Infantry Regiment who were killed and wounded at the beginning of the general attack, and the subsequent offensive battles, to be honest, did not suffer many casualties.

You know, this is not the field head-on battle that the Tang Army is best at.

The Ming army on the opposite side is not an ordinary Ming army, but the main force in the supervision, and it also has Susong, a city that has been operated by them for several years and has perfect city fortifications.

However, even so, in the face of the artillery shells and grenades of the Tang Army, it still failed to exert the defensive capability expected by the senior generals!

In fact, to counter the current offensive method of the Tang Army, the best way to supervise the standard is to learn from the Europeans to build a fortress!

It's a pity that Zhang Yue doesn't know what the fortress is, and he still builds urban defense facilities according to the traditional city defense model, at most, he adds some small things and makes it more complicated.

But in essence, it's still a traditional fortification!

And this kind of fortification, in the face of the current artillery and grenades, almost has no resistance.

After receiving the battle report of the Battle of Susong, Li Xuan made instructions to increase the research and development of grenades and grenades, especially to strive for the long-barreled cannon to be able to fire grenades as soon as possible.

Although the army also attached great importance to this matter in the past, when Li Xuan personally made instructions, the degree of attention was different.

After all, although the Army's funds are large, they are also limited, and most of them are to maintain the size of the troops and for combat use, and the funds that can be squeezed out for the research and development of new weapons are actually very limited.

In the limited funds, the number of people who can invest in the research and development of grenades and grenades is even more limited, but now, the Privy Council has made a quick decision, in order to improve grenades and grenades as soon as possible, they are ready to invest heavily in the fuse part of it!

On the one hand, it was decided to invest some money in the Royal Institute of Technology to set up a special fuse research and development team, and there is no one more reliable than the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology in these years of scientific research and invention.

In addition, they are also prepared to offer a large reward, and whoever can provide a new type of fuze that can be used can get a very large prize.

Even if the proposed fuse is imperfect and immature, as long as there is a little reference, then you can get a certain amount of bonus, and the bonus starts with a thousand taels of silver.

If the new type of fuze can be directly put into mass production and use, then the prize money will be up to 50,000 taels!

This is not the first time that the military has offered bounties to the outside world, in the early days they also offered bounties for spring technology, and also on how to cast large-caliber guns from iron.

However, it is a pity that in the Tang Dynasty in this year, there are still very few civilian technicians, and the quality is basically not good, and if they can't even get it with the teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology, they can't do it.

So, although there are bounties, basically no one can get them!

After all, in these years, there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who even know what a spring is!

However, springs, iron-cast large-caliber artillery, these things are too high-end technology, and civilian technicians can basically only sigh, but the current fuse is different.

What the army needs is not a huge breakthrough in materials and processing technology, people just need a novel design so that the shells can be fired safely in the cannon, and what is needed here is more innovative design minds.

Therefore, many people can't sit still when they see the 50,000 taels of silver bounty offered by the fuse, because there is no limit to the bounty, so even other teachers and students in the Royal Institute of Technology are very interested in this fuse.

Although the Royal Institute of Technology has already selected five or six of the most talented teachers and students who are good at mechanics, artillery, and chemical engineering to form a special fuze research and development team, it does not mean that other teachers and students of the Royal Institute of Technology will not engage in this thing.

Immediately, the Royal Institute of Technology set off a small climax of research and development of fuzes!

Not only the Royal Institute of Technology, but also Guozijian University and Jinling University, there are also many teachers and students who are interested in this.

The above three universities are also the only institutions of higher learning in the Tang Dynasty, although there are not many science and engineering talents in Guozijian University, most of them are for the imperial examination, regardless of whether it is the College of Arts or the College of Science, most of the students in it are going to the imperial examination, once they successfully graduate, most of them go directly to participate in the examination.

However, there are many science and engineering talents in Jinling University, because when Jinling University was established, it encountered many difficulties, and the Ministry of Rites lacked funds, and there was a shortage of teachers.

At the same time, in order to solve the problem of funding, the people of the Ministry of Rites found many state-owned enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises to cooperate and reached a series of agreements.

The main thing is that the enterprises pay for it, and then Jinling University helps them train talents, and at the same time, Jinling University needs to open some special courses, such as Jiangnan Iron and Steel Company, which is to let Jinling University open a metallurgical department for them after donating funds.

Then several textile enterprises of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises also joined forces to let Jinling University open a textile department.

The three major weapons companies will not be left behind, and directly donate a large amount of money, and then let Jinling University set up a special shipbuilding department, a mechanical department, and shipbuilding, weapon design, gunpowder, and so on.

Later, in addition to the original subjects of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc., Jinling University also added many highly specialized departments.

And many of the students in it are employees commissioned by major companies!

So much so that many officials of the Ministry of Rites complained that Jinling University, which they had worked so hard to build, was about to become a vocational training school under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises.

But although they complained, they still endured it for the sake of running the school.

Who made them have no money for the Ministry of Rites, Jinling University originally spent so much money, but now that many enterprises under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises are paying for it, they can save the money and use it to open a normal college.

Therefore, it becomes a vocational training college, anyway, the university is established, and their political achievements are there, and when they speak in front of the Holy Son of Heaven, they also have confidence.

As a result, although Jinling University is currently a comprehensive university, the liberal arts are very weak, and most of them are science and engineering departments with strong practicality.

Naturally, there are a lot of talents in it!

After these people saw the bounty of 50,000 taels of silver, many of them were grinding their fists and palms, and they boasted of their outstanding ability to bury their heads in it, and felt that their ability was average, that is, they pulled a few classmates to do it together, even if they didn't get 50,000 taels of silver in the end, but as long as they made a more reasonable plan, there would be 1,000 taels of silver.

The students in Jinling University are not like the students in the Guozi Prison, all of them have their nostrils facing the sky, and they are all dedicated to studying and waiting to participate in the examination to become officials, and they will not waste their studies for a few thousand pieces of silver.

Because of the particularity of the early days of Guozijian, the students who applied for the school were relatively special, most of them were lifters, and a very small number of them were preparatory schools in various places, all of whom were rushing to become officials.

In addition, Guozijian does not exempt tuition fees, grants subsidies or something, so to enroll in the school, in addition to a very small number of people can get scholarships, they also need a lot of tuition and living costs, and most of the students in it are worth a lot.

After all, many of the students in it are raised from various provinces, and a lifting person is nothing in the Beijing Division, just an ordinary student, but in the local area, it is a stable gentry class and backbone.

But many of the students in Jinling University are from poor backgrounds!
