Chapter 53: The Poisonous Dragon Receives Thunder (3)

Zhu Cihong didn't know that his reputation among the people was so great that he could hang it on the door to ward off evil spirits and hang it on the head of the bed...... Well, contraception is not needed in this day and age.

When he saw Liu Wei, he had a very rare wavering mind.

Liu Wei is Liu Ruoyu's nephew, and he is indeed tall and big, which is very eye-catching to show the blood inheritance of the Liu family's military family. His personality is indeed inward, and if it is analyzed in terms of Cartel's sixteen personality, he is very prominent in emotional stability and constancy.

If such a person is in an industrial enterprise, it is very appropriate to be responsible for safety issues, but if he wants to take charge of a national-level strategic factory, I am afraid that there will be a great lack of ability.

This man didn't even know a word.

Zhu Cihong talked with Liu Wei for a few words, admitting that Liu Ruoyu was right, but also had new concerns.

"You can send some internal supervisors to him as deputies." Liu Ruoyu did have some affection for his nephew's illiterateness, and offered advice.

"Yes." Zhu Cihong nodded: "I don't need a deputy position, just send two of them over in the name of 'secretary'." You go to him, and the safety regulations of the gunpowder factory must be enforced first. Another bureau of East Palace guards was transferred to protect the gunpowder factory. By the way, Mr. Bai, who killed Chen Jiabao, is still waiting for the crime? ”

"Back to Your Highness, exactly." Liu Ruoyu responded.

"Then transfer him over." Zhu Cihong said.

"Your Highness," Liu Ruoyu lowered his voice, "That Mr. Bai is also a decisive person, but he was only sent to protect the Anmin Factory, will it be a bit overkill?" ”

"Do you think this is a dismissal?" Zhu Cihong shook his head: "Qi Wuyi's books still need to be read more." ”

Liu Ruoyu knows that the prince has other deep meanings, and he really doesn't know about military affairs, as for employing people, this prince has indeed never had obvious losses, let's wait and see.

Zhu Cihong was referring to the firearms in the Qi family's army.

Although the Qi family army is a strong army brought out by Qi Jiguang, the southeast suppression of the Japanese and the Jizhen Imperial Kou are completely two forms of war, and the Qi family army is also clearly divided into two stages.

In the southeast era, because of the limited status of Qi Jiguang and the fact that most of the Japanese were mainly harassed by small groups, the establishment of the Qi family army was small. When they arrived in Jizhen, the Mongolian iron cavalry was like a pack of wolves, plundering the border in groups, and Qi Jiguang was already a pillar of the Ming Dynasty at that time, so the establishment of the Qi family army was larger.

It can be said that it was not until the north that the Qi family army was truly formed. It can be seen from Qi's military book that Qi Jiguang attaches great importance to firearms, and the firearms allocation rate of the infantry battalion is as high as 50 percent, and the firearms allocation rate of the baggage battalion is as high as 60 percent. Attacking the opponent with high-intensity and heavy firepower and defending the city can be said to be the idea of building the Qi family's army.

However, later the firearms of the Ming army became worse day by day. So much so that the Qi family army, which later transformed into the Guanning Iron Cavalry, gradually gave up the tradition of firearms. The reasons for this regression run through all links from gunpowder manufacturing, firearms production, soldier drills, and battlefield psychology.

In order to fill their pockets, the Gunpowder Bureau first secretly changed the formula of gunpowder and made it shoddy, so that the gunpowder was not powerful enough.

The second is the production of firearms, the lack of quality control mechanism, and the frequent occurrence of explosions, which makes soldiers fear firearms more than the enemy.

Then there is the soldier drill.

The drills of the Qi family army have become institutionalized, and the soldiers have a high level of understanding of their weapons. Later, the Ming army regarded the drill as a passing scene, from a drill on the third day to a drill on the fifth day, a drill on ten days, and then a drill before the Shangguan reviewed, and Zuihou became a point where the Shangguan did not practice even if he came to review.

Such a soldier is enough to choke with a spear and waist knife, not to mention the firearms that Jishu requires higher?

The psychological quality of the battle is also very important. After the Ming Dynasty fought with foreign tribes after Salhu, nine times out of ten they lost, so that when the soldiers saw the enemy coming, they opened fire from a distance, and dispersed in a hurry after they finished, so what kind of battle could they fight? The weapons that are obviously a generation ahead of the northern barbarians are not as good as a burning stick in the hands of these Ming troops.

If Zhu Cihong wants to strengthen the army, he must vigorously develop firearms, not to mention returning to the era of Qi Jiguang, at least he must return to the time of the Battle of Salhu. At that time, the Ming army was mainly a pig-like general, and its combat ability was not much inferior to that of Jiannu.

Nowadays, the masters of firearms manufacturing are all in Jiangnan, and gunpowder manufacturing is at hand. In line with the principle of easy first and then difficult, near and then far, Zhu Cihong naturally started with gunpowder, improved the gunpowder production process and storage regulations, trained a group of skilled handicraft workers, and built an assembly line with clear processes.

This work requires a lot of energy from the leader in any era, and it is only in the game that it is possible to send a ninety-five ox man to harvest tons of gunpowder every day.

Fortunately, Zhu Cihong already has a draft, and the master book of rules and regulations written when he was dormant in the palace only needs to be changed and slightly modified in detail to be able to be used.

Although Liu Wei is a nominal manager, he is actually just an executor. More precisely, he is an executor who checks whether the prince's rules and regulations are implemented or not. On the first day he came to Anmin Factory with the internal officials assigned to him by his uncle, he found that the job given by his uncle was not so easy and pleasant.

"Master Liu, from ancient times to the present generation, gunpowder is like this, if the formula is changed, it may not sound."

"Master Liu, we have always used shovels to dig gunpowder, not to mention that wooden shovels can't shovel in."

"Liu Ye ......"

……

Liu Wei was a little stunned all of a sudden, what should I do about these things that are different from the prince's requirements? The craftsmen below refuse to change, what should they do? Go back to your uncle and ask for a plan? Or did you simply quit the mission?

"No, you can't!" When the lady of the Liu family heard that Liu Wei was going to retreat, she immediately became anxious. She is a woman, although she has never seen much of the world, but she is more active than Liu Wei. She said: "Uncle raised you to let you take charge of the Anmin Factory, although you have no rank, but you are dressed as a clerk, how can you go back to be a flat-headed commoner?" If you don't understand, it's better to go to my second aunt's younger brother, who has been an apprentice in a firecracker shop since he was a child, and he knows a little bit. ”

"What does a milk doll know?" Liu Wei bit his cigarette and took a hard puff.

The first thing the prince banned in the Anmin factory was an open flame, and people hung signs everywhere, and they didn't write, but they just drew a red circle on a raging fire, and the middle was obliquely one, even if the first person came in, they knew that it meant that they were not allowed to see fire. Since fire is banned, even cigarettes can't be smoked, which makes Liu Wei have to go outside and smoke one secretly when he becomes addicted to smoking.

"It's said that it's a milk baby, and there are more than twenty of them." The mother-in-law said: "If you can't be a chef, can't you even taste salty?" Besides, now that you are developed, you should also take care of my family, so that when I return to the door, my face will be a little bright, isn't that reasonable? ”

Liu Wei thinks about it, his wife has always been right. Now this Hun family is not scolding or making trouble, and it is much more reasonable. But he didn't know if he had the right to hire someone, so he had to say, "Let's talk to him first, let's see if he comes." ”

The mother-in-law was secretly happy when she heard this, and hastily ate dinner and went to the second aunt's house. Because of her family's poverty, she has forgotten the last time she came to the door, but she vaguely remembers that she went to borrow rice, and the rice has not been repaid.

The woman took out a wooden box from the pit under the bed, opened it under the bed, and found a piece of silver. She took it in her hand, put it back in, changed it into a slightly smaller one, and then got out contentedly, changed into a crisp and unpatched garment, and went to her relative's house.

Her second aunt married a family surnamed Wu, and she used to help deliver firecrackers from the Beijing firecracker shop, and got acquainted with a few shopkeepers, so she sent her son to be an apprentice. After ten years of apprenticeship, the Wu family boy finally became a foreman, and what he did was to check the work of soil nitrate.

It's just that with his qualifications, there is still a long way to go if he wants to get in touch with the gunpowder formula.
