The internal affairs offices in various places were all mobilized, the money flow of the money in the money village increased dramatically, and the entire nobles, merchants, and gentry class of the entire Ming Dynasty participated in this great war.

The same is true of the people everywhere, whether directly or indirectly, all of them have been implicated in this war.

Liaodong, Jinzhou.

As the base of the imperial court's northward march this time, Jinzhou is now very busy, all kinds of materials have been taken out of the warehouse, and even countless ordnance has been equipped.

The granaries where the grain was stored were opened, and countless grains were moved out.

Dingguo Gong Xu Wenbi walked on the school ground, accompanied by Li Chengliang. After following the army to Jinzhou, Xu Wenbi stayed, and he came to see the Liaodong Army today.

The current army of the Ming Dynasty is very strong, everyone knows this.

From the Northwest Army to the Liaodong Army, to the Jiliao Army, and finally to the Beijing Camp, it can be said that he is definitely a proud soldier. As the Duke of Dingguo, Xu Wenbi has also seen a lot, but this time it is different.

This time Xu Wenbi came to fight, so he was especially concerned about the Liaodong Army.

"Dingguo Gong, look, these are the four major branches of our Liaodong Army!" Li Chengliang pointed to the four teams of men in front of him, and said with a smile: "All of them are fierce soldiers, this time we must destroy the Taining Department in one battle." ”

In fact, Li Chengliang was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.

His goal is the most powerful Duoyan Division, because the grassland of Duoyan is the best, but now that the emperor asks you to fight the Taining Division, you can't say that I don't want to fight the Taining Division, I want to fight the Duoyan Division, which is also unrealistic.

Xu Wenbi didn't bother to care what Li Chengliang thought, the emperor asked you to fight the Taining Ministry, then you have to go to the Taining Ministry, there is no need to discuss.

"Come, Mr. Li will tell me about it!" Xu Wenbi pointed to the soldier in front of him and said.

"Good!" Li Chengliang nodded with a smile and said: "Here, the musketeers are equipped with all the same arquebuses, since they are equipped with this arquebus, our Ming musketeers are very strong." ”

Xu Wenbi nodded, of course he has seen you with the new-style firecracker.

The rate of fire is fast, the range is long, the firepower is fierce, and there are many advantages, especially after being equipped with bayonets, the firecrackers finally got rid of the shackles of close combat and completely let go of the reins.

In this case, the spearmen in the army were all abandoned.

"Here, Gun Cavalry, they are not equipped with arquebuses, but wheel-type muskets, I heard that it seems to be a runner made by a person named Xu Guangqi from the Royal Academy of Sciences in Beijing."

"It's the guy who made the clock, a very powerful man!" Li Chengliang sighed: "Dingguo Gong should be clearer, right? ”

Of course, Xu Wenbi knows better, that Xu Guangqi has won the trust of His Majesty, and that grandfather clock has made him rich. For every clock sold, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will give him a share.

As for the price of the grandfather clock, it can make Xu Wenbi feel a toothache, but you can imagine how expensive it is.

The point is that there are too many rooms in the house, you can't buy just one, right? A tens of thousands of taels, how could Xu Wenbi not have a toothache. But the one that sells is called a good one, and you can't buy it from ordinary people.

Xu Wenbi also knows that this kind of revolver-type musket is expensive to death.

"Mr. Li, how many horsemen do you have here?" Xu Wenbi couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Chengliang, since there was this kind of revelator-type musket, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was basically a cavalry.

"Only five thousand!" Li Chengliang said helplessly.

"I've applied for it many times like the imperial court, but no one pays attention to me!"

Xu Wenbi nodded, but he didn't feel surprised in his heart, it's right that no one cares about you, it's a lot to give you 10,000 wheel-type firearms, how much do you want, give you tens of thousands? Beauty doesn't kill you.

Unlike the long guns of the arquebus, this type of revelor musket is short.

The length is only the length of the forearm, in order to be easy to load on the horse, each cavalry is equipped with two, one on the left and one on the right, and there is a leather holster on the horse, which can be easily put in.

Xu Wenbi also had two, and they were placed on his horse.

As far as Xu Wenbi knows, there are now 10,000 cavalry in Jiliao, and the Beijing camp is the largest, with 30,000. Whether he can fight or not, Xu Wenbi has never doubted that he has seen the cavalry perform martial arts.

Although the range of the cavalry's revelor musket was only thirty paces, the cavalry was very fast, and the speed could make up for the distance to a certain extent.

The unfolded cavalry rushed over, and the cavalry of 10,000 people fired at the same time, and it was two guns, basically one round, how many people could be left on the opposite side? Xu Wenbi felt that if he was on the other side, he would definitely not be able to do it.

"Dingguo Gong, this is artillery!" Xu Wenbi pointed to the soldiers not far away and said.

In front of these artillerymen, a small cannon, half a man high, with a stubby barrel, and a strangely shaped warhead on the ground next to it. Xu Wenbi knows this thing, this is made by the Armed Forces Division, it seems to be called a mortar.

In fact, this thing is far from a mortar, if you have to say what it looks like, Zhu Yijun thinks this thing is more like a cannon without conscience.

The focus of improvement is on the shell, and now the shell of this mortar is evolved from the flowering shell, which is no longer round, so it is more like the mortar shell of later generations, with a tail, a ballistic, and accurate hit.

Of course, because there is no primer, this thing is still fired in the same way as before.

A mortar that is a half-finished product is simply like a mortar of later generations, where the shell is put into the barrel and fired with a "bang".

It needs to be reloaded, it needs to be ignited, but the shells look a lot like mortars from later generations.

Zhu Yijun didn't expect that the Armed Forces Division would be able to figure it out, who would have thought that someone would come up with it, after the development of this four-like cannon, Zhu Yijun quickly realized the advantages of this thing.

This is the best thing to do before the bottom shells are made.

This kind of cannon Xu Wenbi has naturally seen, it is easy to carry, the explosion is powerful, and the rate of fire is fast, and it is the leader in the field artillery of the Ming Dynasty. Seeing these equipment, Xu Wenbi was immediately relieved.

"Mr. Li, do you have a grenade here?" Xu Wenbi asked.

For the grenade, Xu Wenbi was very impressed, and the power of that thing was not small, he had seen it in the Beijing camp, as for whether the Liaodong Army had it, Xu Wenbi really didn't know.

"Yes, but not much!" Li Chengliang said directly: "The Military Aircraft Department only gave me 3,000 pieces. ”

Xu Wenbi nodded, this is to prepare for the Northern Expedition, and the imperial court has newly transferred it in the past two years, otherwise it is impossible for the Liaodong Army to get the grenade.

Daming's grenade is not a high-tech product at all, but an earthen grenade.

In fact, Daming originally had grenades and mines, and in comparison, it was much less difficult to produce this kind of earth-based grenade bullets. Of course, compared to Daming's existing strength, whether it is powerful or otherwise, it is much stronger.
