A new type of primer was introduced, using the kind of primer made of materials such as copper and mercury thunderate, developed by the British in 1817.

The advent of new bullets means a comprehensive upgrade of muskets, not to mention the firearms produced by the system are the best reference. In terms of technology, the current accumulation of technology in the Qin State can still make a firearm at the beginning of the 19th century.

The only problem is the bullet material.

The new bullets are made of copper, which at least makes up the vast majority of the materials that make up the bullets. However, Huaxia is originally a copper-poor country, and the country's copper reserves are not very high, at least the per capita reserves are very low. It is already barely used to mint copper coins, let alone be misappropriated to cast firearms and shells.

In fact, Zhang Hongbin is also considering gradually abolishing the copper coin system and replacing it with a new system with gold and silver as the main body. This also means that it is necessary to carry out a transformation of the banking industry in the Qin State, or to create a new set of banking standards and systems. In terms of engineering quantity, it is not high.

But if copper coins can be made history, then more copper can be used to forge artillery guns and even ammunition.

At this point, Zhang Hongwen was called back to preside over the establishment of the Huaxia Central Bank, and the time given to him by Zhang Hongbin was one year. In any case, it is necessary to lay out the head office and branches of the bank within one year, and at the same time do a good job in the business of exchange in different places. He has already appointed Xu Guangqi as an advisor, and Chen Jing, a member of the Ministry of Finance, is responsible for the minting of new coins, including the determination of styles, the establishment of anti-counterfeiting marks, and the supervision of minting.

It is certain that in the coming year, the focus of Daqin's work will be on currency reform.

But after all, Daqin is a military-industrial country, and a strong army is indispensable.

The success of the production of new guns and new types of artillery, or the success of imitation, has led to the fact that cold weapons have basically withdrawn from the stage of history. At least in this part of the regular army, there will be no cold-armed troops, the only ones that will remain will be mounted units, but they will also be equipped with cavalry guns on the basis of horseback. The so-called sabre, that is, in the absence of bullets, the last combat weapon.

Since there is no need for cold-weapon arms, the reform of the military system is also an inevitable result.

In the era of cold weapons, five people were in one army, and the principle of the five-five system was adopted. Three of them attacked, and two of them defended, and that's pretty much it. It can be said that this system can be the most effective for cold weapons to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent while ensuring the safety of attackers. A group army, which is tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, rushes and kills with great momentum and runs earth-shattering.

It can be said that the mode of war in the era of cold weapons is the number of troops, the weapons of the troops, and the elite of the soldiers.

Only when two of the three occupy the war can the war have a chance of victory, otherwise it will inevitably be lost. Unless there is a demon like Zhuge Liang, it is rare to win more with less, and it is precisely because there are too few and too few that they are qualified to be recorded in history, right? What can be recorded in history are often battles that cannot be replicated, there are too many uncertainties in them, strictly speaking, there are too many elements involving luck, and not everyone has such good luck.

In the era of hot weapons, it is different, the number of people is no longer meaningful, and even in modern times, it is the local breakthrough of the stragglers. To put it mildly, hundreds of thousands of people lined up to launch a charge, unless the other party was directly forced to run out of bullets, otherwise they were simply waiting in line to be shot. Besides, are those artillery just vegetarians?

Think about it, in the case of tens of thousands of people charging, what about setting up a hundred 'Miss Seventy-Five', that is, 75mm rapid-fire guns?

The limit of 30 shells released in one minute is 3,000 shells for 100 shells.

Even if it was a solid shell, it was a real rain of shells, smashed into the enemy's position, and according to that kind of dense range, how many people would have to be stoned to death? The shells on Qin's side are not solid shells, they are real flowering shells, using smokeless gunpowder, and the explosion power is extraordinary. 3,000 rounds were fired, and tens of thousands of lives could almost be said to have been directly harvested.

Even if there are still 100,000 troops left, they have to face the battle formation composed of artillery and musketeers on the frontal battlefield, and they can already be regarded as elite troops if they do not flee.

Don't forget that it takes two minutes to walk from such a distance? In other words, the artillery can continue to fire for about a minute, another 3,000 shells.

Hundreds of thousands of people, did not collapse or be completely wiped out, that was the mercy of the Qin State.

In general, one thing is illustrated, in the mode of warfare with thermal weapons, dense battle formations and massively invested melee infantry, there are no other possibilities than tragedy. The main theme of the war has changed to three criteria: the quality of firearms, the number of artillery inputs, and the elite quality of non-commissioned officers.

Just yesterday, Zhang Hongbin had secretly sent people to contact the officers of the Ming Dynasty to sell the weapons in stockpile, and even foreign countries such as the Middle East and the small countries of the Southeast Peninsula could also sell them. Bullets can be purchased from him, or they can be made by themselves, anyway, Zhang Hongbin does not provide bullet manufacturing technology.

On this basis, it can be said that the development process of thermal weapons warfare has been forcibly accelerated by Zhang Hongbin.

Now that we have entered the era of thermal weapons warfare, it is natural that we cannot continue to adopt the military system of the era of cold weapons.

Yes, the military system must be reformed, and no matter how good the previous military system was, it must be reformed in order to adapt to future battles!

The only thing that suffers is Wang Er and Li Dingguo, the former just ran the green beads, and when it was time to talk about marriage, he was arrested by Zhang Hongbin. Now I am dealing with the issue of military reform at the military department day and night, and I haven't seen Lu Zhu for three days. I wonder if I will break up because of this? Zhang Hongbin expressed regret about this, he really didn't arrange it because Wang Erzhong was unhappy with his friends......

Li Dingguo was originally a little kid, even if he wanted to get married, he had to wait for three years, this is the deadline given to him by Zhang Hongbin, which was set four years ago. However, this guy started faster than Wang Er, and I don't know if it is the so-called childish words, dare to love and dare to be.

He directly took away the heart of the red lady, and then made a marriage contract, and the red lady has even begun to live in Li Dingguo's mansion as a fiancée. Whether you can see it or not, whether it is painful or not, Zhang Hongbin doesn't know, anyway, Li Dingguo, as one of the top officers, naturally can't leave.

"Young master, I don't object to the three-three system, but the composition of the force is so thin, is there really no problem? The original five-five system, there is nothing wrong with it! "Wang Er has just learned, he originally wanted to defend the general army with his life, but he didn't want to encounter the reform of the military system, but he was afraid that his position would change again.

In recent years, many people hope that they can bring more soldiers, so seeing that the five-five system has been changed to the three-three system, many people look at Zhang Hongbin with complicated expressions.

"The three-three system is a common system used in thermal weapons warfare, with the squad as the minimum military composition, three squads as a platoon, and three platoons as a company. On this basis, three companies plus an artillery company formed a battalion. After that, three battalions were a regiment, three regiments were a brigade, five to six regiments were a division, and there was a corps commander and a commander-in-chief on it.

It is not denied that a standard division is actually only 10,000 people, which is the difference between ants and giant elephants for today's Ming army, which is tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands. But you have so many soldiers, how can you do tactical evasion when the time comes? With so many people standing there, how to avoid each other's artillery and bullets?

The mode of warfare has changed, and you are faced with a rain of bullets, and when the blossoming shells are widespread, the dense ranks are just targets for artillery. You guys, just hope that my disciples of Great Qin, because of your stubborn thinking, will be sacrificed on the battlefield, and it will be a senseless sacrifice? Zhang Hongbin knocked on the table and asked the officers attending the meeting.

Everyone lowered their heads, as if they were considering Zhang Hongbin's words, and they might also be reflecting.

"As the supreme military commander, I unconditionally accept all the mentions of His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" Li Dingguo may be the only one who does not consider his own interests, and his every qiē is given by Zhang Hongbin, and Zhang Hongbin is equivalent to his own brother, the only relative in this world.

If you don't even help your own people, what's the point of living?

"I also agree unconditionally!" Zhang Hongwu, as a real brother, naturally supports him unconditionally.

"As a result, do I have to start all over again?" Wang Er smiled, he didn't support or oppose, but his attitude could tell that he was supportive.

Yang Hong, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao and others also expressed their support one after another, and some were waiting and watching, but they were also embarrassed to object. After all, the bosses have put forward the meaning of support, and their own opposition is opposition to the leader. Being a subordinate and going against a superior is a very stupid act in Huaxia.

As a result, the military system of Great Qin began to carry out major reforms on the same day.
