The first wind and rain drifted away

The afternoon sun was a little hot, but there was not even a single tree that sheltered from the sun except for the workshops and houses where they lived.

The facades of each warehouse are filled with living water, creating ditches to prevent fires.

After more than 200 years, the whole set of preventive measures has been perfect.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally had eunuchs holding parasols for him, but others did not have this honor.

As he walked, he gave a little encouragement to the other officials and eunuchs who came to greet him, and then waved them away to perform their duties.

The growth of the inner treasury of the Ming Palace is inseparable from their efforts and contributions, and they must not be slackened.

Only the stewards and eunuchs of the War Bureau and the Metallurgical Division were left, and then entered the factory building of the War Bureau.

It can be seen from this that there are four divisions and eight bureaus, and Emperor Chongzhen only loves the War Bureau and the Smelting Division.

Without it, because firearms can be produced here, it determines the difficulty of the future struggle for hegemony.

Nowadays, people are limited by transportation props, and their horizons are relatively narrow.

Even if it is the princes and nobles, the three princes and the nine kings, there is no such thing as a world pattern, but Emperor Chongzhen has it.

It was the worst of times for him, but it was also the best of times.

The vast lands of the five continents and four oceans, except for Asia and Europe, are all unowned, rich places at your fingertips.

As long as part of the population is relocated and multiplied for several generations, it will immediately become a sacred and inseparable fertile land in China since ancient times.

Of course, there are still some indigenous tribes in other continents, but these people are not yet civilized and do not distinguish between grains.

In the heart of the eloquent Emperor Chongzhen, this is very good, just enough to inherit the legacy of the Tang and Song dynasties, and treat them as Kunlun slaves.

As for the land in the North and South Poles, Emperor Chongzhen said that even if the climatic conditions were too harsh, it would be left to his descendants to develop.

However, if possible, it is possible to bury boundary pillars, including some small islands and reefs scattered across the four oceans.

Thinking too much, why is it YY again?

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and smiled, walked through the relatively spacious square, and entered the middle of the workshop of the War Bureau.

This time it was also a surprise inspection, although there was no drum music, but the military battle bureau was cleaned up and cleaned.

The hundreds of eunuchs who were working, according to the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen, were all working in an orderly manner at their posts.

Li Mengqi, the eunuch in charge of the War Bureau, bent down and introduced the links and processes to Emperor Chongzhen.

The military bureau in the palace and the military bureau of the Ministry of Industry have different functions and personnel structure.

The eunuchs here have been assigned to enter the War Bureau since they were young to learn the craft, and if there are no major changes, there are many people who have never left the palace in their lives.

If there is any genius in the Ministry of Industry who innovates, the drawings and physical objects must first be submitted to the Ouchi Imperial Palace for preservation and inspection, and then they will be mass-produced by the Military War Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.

To put it simply, the Royal War Bureau is composed of eunuchs, representing the highest level of Daming firearms, and playing the task of protecting and inheriting advanced technology.

Therefore, the military bureau of the Ministry of Industry often needs their guidance, and even sends eunuchs to settle in for a long time, that is, technical guidance.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded frequently when he heard this, there was nothing wrong with it, according to the politically correct division, the best thing must of course belong to the palace.

"It's a flintlock pistol, which of you will explain it?"

Walking around them with his negative hand, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes lit up, this is a good thing, and immediately asked happily.

The three eunuchs who were polishing the handle of their guns glanced at each other, a little at a loss.

Li Mengqi smiled and said, "Come on, slaves, I'm more familiar with them here!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked displeased and glanced at him, "Do you know better than them how to make firearms?"

There is a specialization in the art industry, and you can answer professional questions for them? ”

"Slaves should be damned!"

Li Mengqi was ashamed, and he didn't dare to behave in front of Emperor Chongzhen and give up his position.

There are many such people in the later life, and if their subordinates have a little achievement, they will take the credit and put it on themselves.

Although Emperor Chongzhen believed that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, but if he wants to do things, he not only needs people who can do practical things, but also people who can do things, and people who are good at coordination.

However, whoever should do the work should be done, and it is unacceptable to replace the insider with the outsider.

Only then did the three of them react, and they hurriedly leaned over, and one of the old eunuchs who seemed to be the master said, "The emperor is wise and wise!"

This gun is the former military department squire Bi Maokang, made at the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

Compared to arquebuses and birds, it changed the ignition device to flint as a firing device, thus overcoming the weakness of arquebus ignition that it was afraid of wind and rain.

When firing, the shooter pulls the trigger, and the dragon head placed on the trigger is struck down and rubs against the flint to start a fire, and the spark falls into the charge chamber, causing the gunpowder to burn and shoot the projectile.

This kind of gun can be fired as long as the bolt is continuously pulled and the flint is struck, thus simplifying the firing procedure and increasing the rate of fire.

This gun is fast and powerful, and it is the best firearm available today.

However, this gun is expensive, because of its great power, the barrel requirements are higher than those of arquebuses or muskets, and it is not suitable for mass production at present. ”

After listening to this, Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands and admired!

Talents, Daming will never lack talents!

Needless to say, Bi Maokang and his brother Bi Maoliang are both firearms experts, and they are famous throughout the ages.

is the old eunuch in front of him, how can he not be a talent?

Knowing the pros and cons of flintlock pistols, and understanding that the current craftsmanship is not up to scratch, there is no good lofty and far-reaching behavior, understand people!

The flintlock pistol was made a great improvement over the individual guns, ahead of Europe.

However, history has not been popularized in time in China, and by the time of Kang Mazi, it was only used as a hunting rifle for the emperor.

As a result, China was beaten by the great powers, and since then it has fallen, lagging behind the West, waiting to rise again.

"What's your name?"

Emperor Chongzhen was interested, and asked with a slight raised chin.

"Emperor Qiqi, slave Liu Jinfeng, Wanli entered the palace in the thirtieth year, and it has been more than thirty-three years since the distribution of the military battle!"

The old eunuch Liu Jinfeng could no longer be calm, there were tears in his eyes, and he replied slowly.

The other eunuchs next to him looked at him enviously, and the emperor asked for his name, which meant that he had come to the bitterness and was to be reused.

There are tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in this palace, how many people can get the emperor's name?

"Proposed to quickly edict the brothers Bi Maokang, the right attendant of the Nanjing Household Department, to enter Beijing and work with Liu Jinfeng of the Palace Military Bureau to improve the flintlock pistol."

"The Inner Treasury allocated one million taels of silver to the Smelting Division to make every effort to improve the quality of the barrel, and if it is not enough, it will be allocated again until it is successful."

"Dongchang sent a sitting note to settle in, and report the progress to me at any time, there must be no mistakes!"

Emperor Chongzhen issued three decrees in an instant.

What is most important in troubled times?

It is estimated that in addition to the army, it is a weapon.

Before Emperor Chongzhen crossed, he was just a down-and-out bitter force, at best, he was a regional sales manager.

Not to mention improving the guns, I haven't even touched the guns.

As for the production of gun barrels, it is impossible to talk about the steel industry.

However, as an emperor, this is just a matter of leaving it to the professionals.

And he only needs to provide sufficient financial support.
