Zhu Cijiong tried to recall, he was sure that he should have only talked about the structure of one armored combat vehicle, and he couldn't talk about it no matter how much he wanted to talk about it, because although there were many tank models in later generations, the structure was almost the same, where did the two styles come from!

He couldn't help but wonder: "Oh, there's another armored combat vehicle, where is it?" “

Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua heard this, and hurriedly waved their hands to lead him to the side, in fact, not far from the large armored combat vehicle, there was a small armored combat vehicle about the size of the Earth Turning Dragon, but Zhu Cijiong was suddenly taken into a large armored vehicle with a cannon barrel, and he didn't notice that there was a small one next to him.

There was no artillery in front of this armored fighting vehicle, and instead there were two horribly large pickaxes.

Holy, excavator!

Although the modified earth-turning dragon in front of him is not the excavator-like bucket, Zhu Cijiong can see its function, this thing is definitely used for digging, and it is dug forward, not down.

Sure enough, Sun Yuanhua saw the emperor's shocked appearance, and immediately introduced it like a treasure: "Your Majesty, Weichen heard that Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, the two marshals, have chosen the tactics of digging the city wall to avoid too many casualties among their soldiers, and specially designed this armored combat vehicle for them, the steam pipeline of this armored combat vehicle can be converted at will, and the steam is transported to the drive system of the track when it advances, which is used to drive the chariot forward. Just pull a valve inside to complete the conversion, the operation is similar to the dragon to turn the ground, easy to learn, if the front-line soldiers have no time to practice, it is completely possible to transfer a group of good hands from the guard to turn the dragon in the past, and it will definitely not delay the big war in the coming year. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he asked with interest: "Oh, has this armored combat vehicle been tested, and how is the digging speed?" “

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he said with a little embarrassment: "This Weichen has not tried it yet, but the excavation speed of the two big crane-beak hoes can be adjusted by the valve handle, and the speed may be slower when starting to dig the masonry on the outer layer of the city wall, but once the fill layer inside is dug inside, the speed is definitely fast." “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he couldn't help but pat Sun Yuanhua on the shoulder again and praised: "Very good, Chuyang, your idea is very good, I am worried about digging the city wall and delaying time, with this kind of small armored combat vehicle, the speed of digging the city wall can definitely be increased rapidly, and when the training ground is built, both armored combat vehicles will try together, and then study the tactics according to the performance of the two armored combat vehicles, next year, Daming will definitely be able to take the entire territory of Siberia!" “

Sun Yuanhua was praised by the emperor, and he was already dizzy, and he was so happy that he couldn't speak.

Zhu Cijiong was anxious to test the performance of the two armored combat vehicles, because after the test, improvements had to be made, mass production was required, operational training had to be organized, and tactical improvements had to be made.

In this way, although there is still more than half a year before the war starts next year, there are too many facts in all aspects, and it is really impossible not to hurry up.

After he returned to the palace, he immediately asked Wang Chengen to find the recent telegrams from Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, analyzed them carefully, and then decisively issued an order: "Pass the decree and order Qin Gongming to lead the Liao army to escort 200,000 prisoners to Beijing." “

Now, the connection between the Western Regions Railway and the Trans-Siberian Railway has entered the final stage, and basically the two railway bridges on the Yeni River and the Tunguska River are not connected, and there is no need for too much manpower there, and the six legions of the vassal state are enough, so Zhu Cijiong decided to transfer 200,000 prisoners to build the city wall in the northwest of the capital and build a training base.

As for the regular legion over there, he didn't dare to move too much, although the strength of Tsarist Russia in Siberia was far less than that of the Ming army, but the Ming army's current defense line was also a little long, from the Kazakh Khanate to the Beiting Chengxuan Envoy Division and then to the Khalkha plus the entire Yenihe main trunk, the Ming army's defense line added up to tens of thousands of miles long, and a million troops were stationed, which was not an exaggeration, and he did not dare to transfer too many legions to cause loopholes in the defense line.

The northwest of the capital has been close to the Yanshan Mountain Range, the mountainous terrain is mostly mountainous, the terrain is complex, not suitable for civilian habitation, and not suitable for building a city, it is quite suitable to build a training base, after Zhu Cijiong made an order, he recruited Wang Zhengnan, and ordered him to send Jinyi Wei secret agents to make a sand table model in the northwest of the capital as soon as possible.

This sand table model was originally a compulsory subject for Jinyi Wei secret agents, and the capital has also brought together a lot of Jinyi Wei secret agents all year round, and it is natural to make a sand table model in the northwest of Beijing.

In a few days, the sand table model has been done, the mountains, forests, rivers, railways, ravines are made with great precision, if the hot air balloon is made, stretch out to the sky to see, this sand table model is simply the same as looking at the sky!

With the sand table model, it is much more convenient to plan, and Zhu Cijiong specially summoned Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua, and Song Yingxing to start planning the construction of the training base in the northwest of Beijing.

There is nothing to discuss about this city wall, the final plan of the capital was originally to build a nine-square grid, and now the five grids of the middle cross have been built, and the northwest of the capital is equal to already have two city walls, and the rest only needs to extend the westernmost city wall and the northernmost city wall of the capital and converge together.

As for the construction plan in the northwest training base, Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing have more ideas.

Bi Maokang first made a suggestion, he actually wanted to move the entire Wang Gong factory to the northwest training area, because the central city of the capital is already an inch of land, there is no room for expansion, Wang Gong factory is responsible for both the allocation of gunpowder and the production of all kinds of firearms, the place is really not enough, and the output cannot be increased at all.

Zhu Cijiong did not completely agree with this problem, the northwest of the capital is a mountainous area, which is not suitable for a large number of people to live in at all, and the employees of Wang Gong's factory are almost 100,000, and it is difficult to solve the problem of life when they move over as a whole.

Song Yingxing's proposal is not very exaggerated, he just wants to empty the area near the large laboratory as a base for oil refining and production in the future, and Zhu Cijiong will naturally not object to this.

Sun Yuanhua's suggestion is a bit exaggerated, he not only wants to build an army officer academy inside, but also wants to build fortresses all over the place!

Of course, the construction of so many fortresses is not for defense, mainly for tactical exercises, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is really no country can threaten at this time, but the fortress will become the main target that the Ming army will face, because the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty at this stage is the European powers, they are all experts in building fortresses.

For this, Zhu Cijiong has no objection, build it, Daming has cement anyway, what is it to build a dozen fortresses, after it is built, it will be used to practice tactics, and if it is broken, it will be repaired and repaired, and then it will be repaired, and it will be rectified casually, Daming will not lack this money!
