The army generals behind Xiao Ruxun were also a little surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

They knew that Xiao Ruxun had always liked new things and more practical weapons, for example, they remembered Xiao Ruxun's dissatisfaction with flashy weapons such as the three-eyed gun and the small sample Franc machine gun during the war, thinking that this was a waste of national funds, and that firearms that had no actual combat value should not be produced at all, and that valuable firearms should be produced if they were to be produced.

Xiao Ruxun was also very dissatisfied with the large number of three-eyed guns used by Li Rusong, but limited to the combat conditions of the cavalry and did not force them to use bird guns, but the rest of the musket infantry has been fully equipped with bird guns and iron cannons, all old firearms were abandoned by Xiao Ruxun, leaving only bird guns, Franco machine guns, and a swarm of bees and other firearms with actual combat value.

They also heard that Xiao Ruxun had repeatedly written to Song Yingchang, asking Song Yingchang to write to the imperial court and the emperor to stop the research and development and production of some old firearms, and to focus on the study of heavy artillery and birds, and to stop producing some flashy old firearms and firearms from centuries ago, and to put this part of the funds on the production of new firearms.

At the moment, it was really the right time, and he directly asked the sailor to eliminate the bowl mouthpiece.

"However, Admiral, the reason why the bowl mouth gun has been used so far is because in naval warfare, it is impossible to completely annihilate the enemy ship only by using the Daihatsu and Franc aircraft, and it is still necessary to engage in close combat, and when it is close to the body, the bowl mouth gun can play its usefulness, and it can hit the hull of the Japanese at close range, and then the last is to hook the enemy ship with a hook gun and a nail gun to cross the ship, and use a wooden plank to conduct contact warfare, which is a water battle."

Reacting, Chen Lan felt that Xiao Ruxun was making trouble unreasonably, deliberately showing his ignorance, the three-plate axe tactics of naval warfare are like this, the Daming Shui Division has been using it since the founding of the country, and the current tactics were established during the Jiajing period, using Dafa and Franc machines remotely, using bowl-mouth guns and bird guns rockets in short range, and then the three-plate axe is the gang jumping tactic, three-plate axe!

Xiao Ruxun didn't know how to pretend to understand, so he directly eliminated the bowl mouth, and the three-plate axe was missing one board, what should we do?

A layman commanding an insider, this is a tragedy!

Chen Ling frowned, very dissatisfied with Xiao Ruxun's blind command, but he couldn't oppose it openly, and didn't give Xiao Ruxun face, what if he was put in small shoes? After thinking about it again and again, he took this opportunity to popularize the knowledge of naval warfare to Xiao Ruxun, and used as gentle rhetoric as possible, hoping that he could get lost and not wear small shoes for himself.

However, Xiao Ruxun's attitude became tougher.

"You all think that Ben Du was born in the northwest and doesn't understand water warfare, so he is blindly commanding, right? How could Ben Governor have made such a decision without some understanding? This governor also asks you, in the naval battle of Guangdong during the Jiajing period, how did the Ming sailors defeat the Francois sailors? ”

Chen Luan is a native of Guangdong and is well aware of that naval battle.

"At the beginning, our army was defeated because of the fierce artillery fire of the Franco, and Wang Hong, the deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, first took advantage of the windy day to attack the ship with fire and burned the Francophone man's sailor and then withdrew, and then used the trick to divide the Francophone man, and obtained the production method of the Francophile machine gun and centipede ship, and a large number of imitations were restructured, and our sailors were equipped to defeat the Franco machine man in one fell swoop."

Xiao Ruxun nodded: "What's the matter with a bowl of mouths here?" ”

Chen Lan was silent.

"The tactics of the sailors are going to change, and we can't hope for close combat as always, the bird guns and the Franc machine guns we use are all from Fanyi, and even the bow of the ship is also from Fanyi, Fanyi has surpassed the Ming Dynasty in firearms and naval warfare.

If Da Ming doesn't catch up, he has to wait until Fanyi fights to know the pain, then it will be too late, and the Fanyi Sailor Division has basically not relied on the method of jumping gang, but relying on long-range firepower to directly defeat the enemy ship at a distance.

The centipede ship also knew that the ship was carrying thirty-four Francophone guns, with fierce firepower and extremely fast speed, which was still their configuration decades ago, and now it may be even more terrifying, and now my Daming Sailor has five hundred large ships with six Franco guns, and Dafa Yiyi!

How can this kind of firepower compete with Fanyi? In the end, you can only use fireboat tactics, but fireship tactics also need timing, and there is no way to use them if they are not downwind or even on windy days!

The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty is not inferior to Fanyi, but we did not think of abandoning the gang jumping battle at all, using a large number of artillery pieces not to contact with the enemy warships, and conducting pure firepower warfare, and a Dafu ship has less than ten guns!

The range of the bowl mouth gun and the Baizi cannon is too close to be useful, and a ship in Fanyi has at least forty guns, six times that of our army, everyone, under such overwhelming artillery fire, can we get close to their ship for a gang jump? Remember, if you fall behind, you will be beaten! ”

Xiao Ruxun's rhetorical question was very intimidating, water generals, you look at me, I look at you, silent, I don't know how to refute.

"In the future, naval warfare should be the world of big ships and cannons, and those who are not big ships and cannons will not be able to survive on the ocean! We can defeat them only if they are bigger, faster, with more guns, more powerful and faster with a faster rate of fire than their ships!

I don't care what the court thinks, and I don't care what they say, I can't be the master of the affairs of the scholar, but at least at this time, in this battle, I ask you to try it according to my arrangement, you can see with your own eyes, make a comparison, whether I am right, or what you think is right. ”

This kind of words came out of the mouth of a Northwest Army general, which seemed to be very ironic, but in the eyes of Chen Lan and Deng Zilong, these generals, there were some inexplicable feelings.

Perhaps, this Northwest Continent general is still a rare all-rounder?

After that, there were more unexpected things that happened to them.

Beginning the next day, Xiao Ruxun ordered the soldiers who had previously used the bowl gun to get off the ship and go to the shore to receive intensive training in operating the Franco gun, and let the bird gun men on the ship get off the ship to be tested to see if they could use the bird gun proficiently, etc., and move the gunpowder off the ship to check whether it was damp, etc., as if to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the sailor's equipment, such a big move caught Chen Ling and Deng Zilong off guard.

So Xiao Ruxun found a lot of problems in the equipment of the sailors, such as the old and unusable artillery, the serious wear and tear of the bird guns, and even the soldiers named bird guns but still using muskets and even bows and crossbows.

In Xiao Ruxun's strict regulations, it was stipulated that a main warship should have at least 20 bird guns, 10 guns, five large sample Franc machines, and no less than 10 lighter medium sample Franc machines.

Comprehensively inspect the excess and unwanted heavy objects on the warship, carry them all off the ship, make room for the artillery, let the gunners and gunners disembark the ship to be assessed, and those who pass the assessment will be rewarded, and those who fail the assessment will be whipped, and then forced to train, if they cannot be used after three days of intensive training, they will be fined.

Xiao Ruxun didn't intend to give these people any chance to get lucky.
