After most of the supply of ordnance to the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty was transferred to the Royal Military Factory for production, the Royal Military Factory quickly determined the standardized production of various equipment.

Bows, crossbows, three-eyed guns, and explosive cannons (mines) began to be included in the production of the Royal Military Factory, and at the same time the Royal Military Factory began to develop artillery.

Zhu Youxiao ordered most of the country's gunsmiths to be transferred to the Royal Military Factory.

Soon the Royal Military Factory sent a batch of equipment to Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong was very much Liaodong After the generals got these weapons, they couldn't help but praise them.

The swords, axes, spears, and armor swords produced by the Royal Military Factory are of the highest quality. At the same time, the flintlock pistols of the Royal Arsenal were also welcomed by some soldiers. Compared with the bird gun, the flintlock pistol is much more convenient to operate, and the quality is excellent and the lethality is stronger.

The bow and crossbow were greatly praised.

The bows and arrows of the Royal Military Factory are made of hardwood from the north, the horns are made of horns from the south, and the bows are made of cow tendons, and the materials are all of the finest.

The cost of such a bow is about ten taels. The highest cost is naturally buffalo horns, and the best buffalo horns are equivalent to the price of a cow.

The bow in the north and the bow in the south have their own advantages and disadvantages, the north is the bow body material is better, and the south is mostly made of bamboo and other materials. In the south, the horn is better, and in the north, only the worse quality goat horn is available.

Only a small number of crossbows were made, and the crossbows of the Ming Dynasty were inferior to those of the Song Dynasty in terms of power, mainly due to the influence of the forbidden crossbows in the Yuan Dynasty. The firing mechanism of the crossbow is simpler than that of the previous dynasty, and the pulling force and range of this crossbow are far inferior to the bow and crossbow of the Tang and Song dynasties. However, the crossbows made by the Royal Arsenal are still better than those of Westerners.

The Royal Arsenal has many craftsmen, as well as a large number of craftsmen who can make bows and crossbows. If you want to talk about bows and crossbows, at this time China was still relatively advanced.

The Europeans used the steel crossbow with a winch at this time, and the power was actually only at the level of the Qin Dynasty in China. However, just this level of crossbow arrows drove the Europeans crazy, and they made more and more exaggerated plate armor.

The main reason for the poor performance of the steel crossbow of Westerners is that the steel is the worst in terms of accumulation. In fact, this kind of thing is not as good as China's armor in terms of protection ability.

Don't look at the plate armor that protects the whole body, but in fact it is only two or three centimeters thick. The force area of the arrow is very small, and it is very easy to shoot through the plate armor. Because the plate armor has no room to maneuver, it will be shot through once it exceeds the tolerance range. In contrast, in structures such as piercing armor and scale armor, the arrow is shot at the iron plate, and the iron piece will be pushed backwards, and there is a buffering process, and a piece of iron is pressed against the body, which is at most painful.

Therefore, the plate armor of Westerners is completely unsuitable for the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

Western man-made plate armor can only be said to be a relatively tendonous brain. Because Westerners use logical thinking, they are accustomed to associating with one line. China uses analogical thinking, like a face, and analogical thinking is obviously a more advanced way of thinking than logical thinking.

This difference in thinking can be seen from the mobile phone operating system of later generations. Westerners' mobile phones, such as photo processing, must be from the camera. Domestic mobile phones will put these functions that are not commonly used into a toolbox, or from the camera.

Therefore, Chinese people who are accustomed to analogous thinking will be more or less uncomfortable when they first come into contact with foreign operating systems.

The analogical thinking of Europeans, albeit at a lower level, also has their merits. For example, when they were fighting, they could not conquer a military fortress, so the Europeans wondered, is the artillery not powerful enough? So he ran back to work on the more powerful artillery.

If the Chinese think about problems by analogy, they will turn their attention to the inside of the fortress, use guò political zhì and diplomatic methods to disintegrate the enemy, or simply find a way to bypass and attack the rear of the enemy's fortress.

It's also very normal for 'upright' Westerners to make strange plate armor.

On Phi Dao, the Phi Dao pier has been repaired at this time, and more than ten large ships can be docked at the same time. The first batch of weapons and equipment also arrived, basically all of which were flintlock muskets, war knives, battle axes, spears, and armor standard equipment of the Beijing camp.

However, Mao Wenlong, who got this batch of equipment, was overjoyed, he had never seen so much well-built equipment in Liaodong for so many years.

Especially the flintlock pistol, the quality is extremely good, after trying it, there is not a single blast, and it is much more convenient to fire than the arquebus, which makes Mao Wenlong even more surprised, puzzled: "I didn't expect this batch of weapons to be so sophisticated." ”

Speaking of the Hanlin Academy's article, the arsenal of swords and guns, the tea soup of Guanglu Temple, and the prescription of the Tai Hospital, known as the four major jokes in the capital, it is not commensurate with the name.

As long as it is a military weapon sent from the capital, firearms are the most dangerous, and they are often blown up as soon as they are used. Other bows and arrows have to be counted to change to one.

"This is made by the Royal Military Factory, and it was set up by the emperor himself." Zhang Yan said to Mao Wenlong.

"With these weapons, it is not a problem to form a strong army, if it is according to the emperor's strategy against the enemy, our Dongjiang army will be invincible in the mountains." Mao Wenlong looked happy and said to Zhang Yan with confidence.

"Then it's up to General Mao." Zhang Yan didn't know much about the battlefield, and the emperor also told him not to interfere in the command of the army, so Zhang Yan is now only in charge of military discipline.

A large amount of supplies were delivered to Phi Dao, and Mao Wenlong's conscription campaign was quickly launched. Select young people from the people on the island to form the Dongjiang Army.

Mao Wenlong is naturally confident that he will defeat the wild boar skin, in fact, the combat effectiveness of the wild boar skin in this year is just like that, but the Ming army is too bad in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as discipline and logistics. How can a soldier fight a boar skin if he is not well fed, clothed, and has little discipline?

At this time, there is money and money, food and food, and the soldiers have a deep hatred for the wild boar skin, and they have a strong enough cohesion, as long as they do a good job of military discipline, there will be no problem.

Not long after, the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion was transferred to Dongjiang Town, with a full 10,000 horses, and many soldiers of the Beijing Battalion vomited at sea, looking a little sluggish. After resting on the island for a few days, he was soon alive and well.

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Division is called Zhang Kuotu, who is the best among the five infantry divisions in Beijing, and the Fifth Infantry Division is one step higher than the other four infantry divisions in overall training, so it has been valued by Zhu Youxiao. This time, the task of going to Dongjiang Town to fight Jiannu also fell on the head of the Fifth Infantry Division.

This is an army that has not been tested by war, Zhang Kuotu is a little nervous in his heart, and at the same time with some desire, after all, this is an opportunity to make contributions.

With the arrival of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion, there were more than 30 Jinyi guards, who were responsible for assisting Mao Wenlong in building an intelligence system.

The emperor offered a monthly salary of 5 taels, attracting a large number of soldiers to participate in the selection, and finally selected the 1,000 people who did not collect at night, and these nights will also become the main force of the 'guerrilla army', and they will be grassroots officers in Dongjiang Town. Those who excel will become senior officers, and their salaries will be raised.

Personnel, food, grass, and equipment arrived one after another, and the Dongjiang Army began to be rapidly formed.

How Mao Wenlong formed an army with any tactics, Zhang Yan didn't care. But Zhang Yan soon let Mao Wenlong see what it means to be a strict military law.

Military political commissars and instructors are responsible for maintaining military discipline, and law enforcement teams are responsible for enforcement.

The people on the island were also properly resettled, and all the old and weak on the island were given land reclamation, and 20,000 people were selected from the young and strong who could fight to form the Dongjiang Army. The rest were also allocated to reclaim the land, and the dozen or so islands recovered by Mao Wenlong were planted with everything that could be planted.

The rest of the people were transferred to Beizhili with a fleet and arranged to be cultivated in Huangzhuang. The orphaned children were sent to the capital, and Zhu Youxiao set up a 'royal orphanage' in the capital to take in orphans from all over the world.

The resettlement of these people was all in charge of a large number of co-ordinators brought by Zhang Yan this time, and with the assistance of the Denglai Water Division, the entire Dongjiang Town quickly became orderly.

The Dongjiang Army, which is being formed, can also be regarded as a new army. When this army was formed, it was intervened by Zhu Youxiao. Sufficient war materials and strict military laws are different from the traditional Ming army.

This new army is rapidly taking shape.
