Playing with the wheel firearm in his hand, Zhu Yijun raised his head and asked Xu Guangqi with a smile: "Have you tried it?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand this, the trial was done by Gonggong Chen." Xu Guangqi hurriedly let Chen Ju out of his side: "To develop a new firecracker, Gonggong Chen has made great efforts." ”

After seeing Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but wonder, Xu Guangqi was asking for credit for Chen Ju!

Not to mention anything else, just Chen Ju can let Xu Guangqi ask for credit for himself, which is amazing. Zhu Yijun nodded, turned his gaze to Chen Ju, and then said, "Then you can talk about it!" ”

Chen Ju hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the new type of firearm has been tested by the Armament Division and is completely usable. ”

"In addition to this short gun, Lord Xu also made a long gun, but compared to it, the short gun is more easy to use. Of course, the long gun is also much easier to use than the current fire gun of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"It's just that the cost is relatively expensive, four times that of the current firecracker."

"Even if it is a follow-up large-scale production, it is estimated that it will cost two to three times." When Chen Ju said this, he said cautiously: "I think it is not suitable for large-scale production now. ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, of course he knew that this thing was not suitable for large-scale production.

In fact, the revolver musket was quickly phased out, and it was the flintlock pistol that replaced it. However, the revelor muskets were not without their highlights, and they showed their might during the battle between Germany and France.

Compared to the current arquebus, the revolver musket was more suitable for cavalry.

Although Qi Jiguang now has a cavalry, they can only be regarded as half a musketeer. The characteristics of the arquebus determined that it was impossible for the musketeers to mature, and once the arquebus was extinguished, it was impossible for the cavalry to ignite the fire.

On horseback, it was inconvenient to operate an arquebus, but a revolver musket had no such disadvantage.

The revolver musket that used flint for ignition only needed to be reloaded and fired, and with the revolver musket, the musketeer cavalry officially stepped on the stage of history. Zhu Yijun is ready to equip Qi Jiguang with a little bit that trial production is conducive to improving the process and research and development.

The assembly for Qi Jiguang is also conducive to their adaptation to the new firearms.

The revolver, while inferior to the flintlock musket, is similar to the flintlock pistol in some ways. Once you change to a flintlock pistol later, you can also save a lot of training time.

"Then let's try to produce 5,000 first!" Zhu Yijun thought about it and said.

"Yes, slave and maid!" Chen Ju hurriedly spoke.

Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "Regarding the flintlock pistol, you can let Xu Guangqi also get involved!" I believe that with his participation, the progress of the research will be greatly improved. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ju was a little embarrassed, he had spent so much money and spent so long, and there was no progress on the side of the Armed Forces Division, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Yes, slave and maid!" Chen Ju hurriedly agreed.

Zhu Yijun nodded, in fact, he didn't pay much attention to the progress of the musket, he was more concerned about the cannon. In this era, artillery is still the mainstream, and it will be for a long time.

"How's rifling going?" Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Ju and asked in a deep voice.

Since the last time the crucible steel was made, the carving knife was no longer a problem, so the rifling of the gun could be put on the agenda. Once the rifling of the artillery is figured out, then the rifled gun is not far away.

With a carving knife, rifling is no longer a difficult task, and the hook knife broaching method can solve this problem.

This method can not only rifle the artillery, but also rifle the musket, Zhu Yijun remembers one thing very clearly, this thing can be done with a wooden broaching machine.

In the early days of the American colonists, they cut down their own wood to make broaching machines, and then rifled their guns.

If Zhu Yijun remembers correctly, there are already front-loading rifled guns in Europe now. It's just that reloading is laborious, and soldiers often need to hit the feeding stick with a hammer to load the projectile into the chamber.

As a result, the rate of fire was reduced to a third or even slower than that of a smoothbore gun. Such a low rate of fire is intolerable for the army. So for two hundred years after the invention of rifling, rifled guns were only a supporting role in the army,

It's just that later there was an epoch-making thing invented, and that was the Mini bullet.

The invention of the Mini bullet made a qualitative leap forward in the flintlock rifled gun, and Zhu Yijun thought of this, and couldn't help but think of the Qing Dynasty's fight against the imperial invaders, and they were faced with a front-loading rifled gun.

Compared to smoothbore guns, rifled guns have only one advantage, and that is that they can shoot accurately.

It is possible to use a three-point-and-one aiming method, unlike a smoothbore gun, which can only carry out fire coverage. Cavalry faced with rifled guns that could be accurately aimed, do you need to say the result?

There is simply no second way to go other than to send them to death.

In fact, these things are available in Europe now, and what Zhu Yijun has to do is just catch up, and the assembly of firearms, Zhu Yijun is not prepared for tartar or wild boar skin.

This was prepared by Zhu Yijun for the Portuguese, Spaniards, and Dutch.

Zhu Yijun now needs rifled guns, the only reason is that he wants to equip rifled guns on the warships of the Ming Royal Naval Division. In the current naval war, artillery is king. The Daming Royal Naval Division, equipped with rifled cannons, will definitely be strong.

Chen Ju heard Zhu Yijun mention rifling, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Armament Division has begun to carve rifling, but the success rate is too low, and further attempts are being made." ”

"At the same time, the shells are being improved, and the round shells are not suitable for rifled guns."

Of course, Zhu Yijun knew that the round ran to the rifling cannon, nodded, and Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice: "Very good, continue to do it, and make samples as soon as possible!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Yijun pointed at Xu Guangqi: "Let Xu Aiqing go and give you a staff officer." ”

"Yes, slave and maid!" Chen Ju nodded and said hurriedly.

When the two of them left, Zhu Yijun sighed, everything has to come step by step! In fact, now that the imperial court has money, Zhu Yijun has already thought about building a large-scale steel mill.

Of course, you don't have to think about the location, it must be in Shijingshan, and the name is Capital Iron and Steel Plant.

In later generations, there were high-quality iron ore in Miyun, Mentougou and Shijingshan, high-quality coal in Fengtai, high-quality limestone in Miyun in Yanqing, etc., and the Yongding River next to it had sufficient water resources, which was destined to be a suitable place to build a steel plant.

Local materials, cost-saving, convenient transportation, you must know that this place is also famous in later generations, its name is Shougang.

Shougang in the previous life has gone through a lot of things, Duan Qirui sent people to prepare for the establishment of the "Longyan Iron Ore Company Shijingshan Refinery" (that is, the predecessor of Shougang) at the eastern foot of Shijingshan Mountain in Beijing, after the "77" incident in 37 years, the Japanese invaders occupied the Shijingshan Refinery and renamed it "Shijingshan Iron Smelter".

After Japan surrendered in August 45 and was taken over by the Kuomintang, it was renamed Shijingshan Iron and Steel Works in 46. Shougang experienced the war of the Beiyang warlords, the occupation of the Japanese invaders, and the corruption of the Kuomintang government.

The vicissitudes of 30 years reflect the tragic situation of Beijing's ferrous metallurgical industry in a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and is a history of humiliation for the Chinese nation.

In this life, Zhu Yijun will never let such a thing happen again, he wants to build a steel plant there that belongs to the Ming Dynasty, a steel plant that is destined to go down in history forever.

This steel plant will lay a solid foundation for the rise of the Ming Dynasty, will sound the clarion call for the rise of the Ming Dynasty, and will become the existence of making the world tremble.

With the completion of this steel plant, Daming will have a qualitative leap, and you must know that steel is the foundation of industry.

The next period of time was also peaceful, nothing big happened in the court, and Zhu Yijun was rarely idle. There is a few good news, the governor of Xuanda, Zeng Shengwu, came to play a setback, and the military reform of Xuanfu was completed.

Compared to Datong, it takes less time and is better done.

Zhang Weixian also gave Zhu Yijun a recital, saying that it was completed smoothly.

Zhu Yijun knew that it was time for him to transfer Zeng Xingwu back to Beijing, although there were still several military towns in Guyuan, Gansu, Taiyuan, and Ningxia to the west of Xuanda, but Zhu Yijun was not ready to carry out military reform in those places for the time being.

In these places, Taiyuan is going to be changed, but it has to wait for the completion of the ban on the opening of the Jin Dynasty.

The remaining military towns will also be changed, but they will have to wait until the east side is completed. Transferred Zeng Shengwu back to Beijing, let him enter the cabinet, and presided over the military reform, and his task at Xuanda was completed.

The important towns of Xuanda and Jiliao in the Ming Dynasty in recent years, other places are not so important.

It's quite stable over there, it's best not to move for the time being, Zhu Yijun is ready to use troops on the grassland in recent years, so Jiliao must be managed well. When Zeng Xingwu returns to Beijing, Jiliao's military reform will be on the agenda.

At that time, the military households that will be laid off can also be recruited to the urban construction company and the road repair team.

There are two military towns near the capital, one Changping Town and one Zhenbao Town, and these two military towns also have to be changed. Changping Town is located in Changping, Beijing, and has jurisdiction over the Great Wall from the north bank of the Yellow River in present-day Lanzhou in the southeast to the Jiayuguan Lai River in the northwest.

Zhenbao Town is stationed in Baoding, and the Great Wall under its jurisdiction starts from Bauhinia Pass in the north, passes through the Fallen Horse Pass, Longquan Pass, Niangzi Pass, and reaches the Ancient Pass in the south.

These two towns also have to be changed, plus Jizhou and Liaodong, the west can only be put first, after all, the whip is out of reach, if there is a mess, it is not easy to clean up, except for Taiyuan, Zhu Yijun in the northwest is not ready to move for the time being.

Let Zeng Xingwu come back, then someone has to make room for Zeng Shengwu.

With Zeng Xingwu's qualifications, it is inevitable to enter the cabinet, and the key is to arrange a position for him in the sixth department. He can also do the position of Shangshu, but there is no suitable position for him for the time being.

However, there are several squire positions, and one can be poured out for him immediately.

Zhu Yijun is talking about the Department of Law and Discipline, after this period of investigation, the progress of the Department of Law and Discipline is very fast, basically has mastered most of the evidence, and it is almost time to arrest people.

Department of Justice and Discipline.

Wang Jiaping looked at the paperwork handed over by Qi Fei and sighed helplessly.

Although on the day he received the case, Wang Jiaping knew that there would be this day, but he never expected it to be so soon. Looking at the evidence in front of him, Wang Jiaping looked up at Qi Fei, who was there with the old god.

Zhao Deqian, the servant of the ministry, Wang Jiaping really wanted to hold the other party's neck and ask him, what do you think?

If one or two people are falsely accused or misunderstood, but these dozen or so people, there will be no shortage of witness testimony.

The antique shop that collected money, Wenxinzhai, was also investigated, and the three ongoing transactions of buying and selling official positions have been discovered. Looking at Wang Jiaping, this is not Zhao Deqian's carelessness, but too unscrupulous.

Of course, there must be a relationship between his own subordinates in this, which is really contributing.

"I'll go to the palace to ask for a decree!"

After a while, Wang Jiaping sighed helplessly, and then said slowly: "You have made people ready, and when I get the will, I will arrest people immediately." ”

Although it is the case of Zhao Deqian, the servant of the ministry, he is not the only one involved.

Needless to say, there will definitely be a lot of officials in the Wenxuan Division, large and small, plus the people who participated in the purchase of officials, there must be a lot of them, and all of these people have to be punished, which is all trouble.

"Yes, sir!" Qi Fei was not worried at all, listened to Wang Jiaping's words, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan will arrange manpower." ”

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Looking at the testimony sent by Wang Jiaping, Zhu Yijun's face darkened, and he said angrily: "How can this be true, Shuo Mouse, this is Shuo Mouse, arrest people, arrest them all." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it!" Wang Jiaping agreed, and then bowed and retreated.

When Wang Jiaping went out, the anger on Zhu Yijun's face slowly subsided. In fact, he already knew about it, but being angry is his own attitude, and this can't be wrong.

It's just that Zhao Deqian, the servant of the ministry, was found, and Zhu Yijun estimated that the old Shangshu of the ministry would not be able to do it.

This matter is too big, and there is such a big mistake in the ministry, Wang Guoguang is naturally responsible. In addition, Wang Guoguang's age is really old, and it is not incomprehensible to resign now.

It's just that Zhao Deqian's matter is accompanied by the resignation of the old man, and Zhu Yijun is still a little unbearable.

But soon this kind of unbearable feeling was left behind by Zhu Yijun, which was also something that could not be helped.

"Send a message to the cabinet and ask them to draw up a candidate for the governor of Xuanda." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and said.

Now Xuanda has done everything he wants to do, and the position of governor of Xuanda does not need to deliberately arrange people, there are enough people to keep it. Of course, the troublemakers certainly can't.

However, Zhu Yijun believes that with his arrangement at Xuanda, it will not be easy to make trouble.

Not only is Zhang Weixian there, but there are people from the Internal Affairs Office and Daming Qianzhuang over there, and Zhang Cheng's old eunuch has not come back over there. Speaking of Zhang Cheng, it's time for him to come back.

"Send a message to Zhang Cheng, let him arrange the affairs of Xuanda, and return to Beijing!" Zhu Yijun thought about it and said to Zhang Whale.

Zhang Jing hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the old slave will let the celebrant draft the decree." ”
