The great changes in the structure of the imperial court were destined to require the gradual adaptation of everyone in the entire Ming Dynasty.

However, Luo Shen was very eager for the reform of the army.

Because he knows very well that he has given up the development route of huge size, and his combat effectiveness will be extremely limited for a long time in the future.

Don't compare it to the evil gods who have evolved more times than him.

Even some powerful evil god clan or creature may threaten him.

It's like the normal bullet from before.

If someone who knows the details of the situation seizes the opportunity, even ordinary muskets, knives and axes may threaten Luo Shen.

The worst.

The human instinct to use fire is no joke.

Under the scorching flames, the current Luo Shenke had no ability to resist.

So Luo Shen had already thought about it: for a long time in the future, he would not only continue to accumulate energy and evolve some self-preservation abilities, but also make full use of the power of these dependents.

But while the plan is so.

But Luo Shen's ruling talent and ability to make a name have become a shortcoming in the reform of the military system.

tossed around, and in the end, only a system similar to the original Ming army was settled.

First of all.

All the armies in the world have been dismantled and reorganized.

The original variety of formations, types, and battalion numbers was abandoned, and it was unified into three main units: the 'Imperial Army', the 'Imperial Navy', and the 'Imperial Air Force'.

After the reorganization and expansion of the army, the total number of the imperial army reached 8 million.

It's just that the dependents also have to eat after all.

With the agricultural capacity of the Ming Empire, it was not enough to support so many idlers, so at the suggestion of his subordinates, Luo Shen had no choice but to give 7 million of them the right to farm, pioneer, breed, and harvest forests and mines.

It's just that, under the parasitism of most of them as second-generation white worms, even if the combat effectiveness of these seven million people is poor, they can make up for some through aberration.

In order to distinguish it from the full-time training, fighting, and production of a million troops.

The legions to which the seven million men belonged were divided into 'garrison troops'.

And the 1 million professional army composed of the original 8 million people, the elite selected from 8 has become the most elite main force of the empire.

Throwing out the navy of less than 30,000 people and the nominal air force formed by the warships left behind by the Ming Dynasty itself, in fact, almost all of this million professional army are land forces.

Luo Shen didn't know what mandarin duck formations, front, middle and rear armies and other complex tactics and formations were.

He simply and rudely divided the army into 10,000, 1,000, 100, and 10 people.

Corresponding to 10,000 households, 1,000 households, 100 households, and small flags.

However, he abolished the middle positions in the Ming army, such as the general banner and deputy commander.

Just to prevent the death of officers and the loss of command, a 'double deputy' was set up.

That is, every 10,000 households, 1,000 households, 100 households, and even Xiaoqi have two deputy personnel who usually do not hold positions, but participate in training and study.

When 10,000 or 1,000 households die, the deputy becomes the temporary commander.

Rough division underneath.

The army of the new Ming Empire was clearly divided into 700,000 households, of which the total number of land forces reached 696,000 households, except for the navy of 30,000 households and the experimental air force of 10,000 households.

In order to meet the armed needs of the army.

The entire new empire was separated and functioned like a whipped cow and horse under Roshen's orders......

Iron and copper, gunpowder, cowhide, bamboo, horn tendons, tung oil, raw silk...... Huge quantities of material were produced from all over the country and then dispersed into factories that had skyrocketed in size to be processed into further materials and weaponry.

In the process, Roshen returned to his world several times.

Although it was not possible to directly carry finished equipment such as machine tools due to the geometric energy consumption required by the 'World Shuttle' to carry materials, Luo Shen still obtained a large number of industrial materials from the 18th century to the early 21st century by downloading and ordering books on the Internet.

Blast furnaces began to be erected in Beijing, Tianjin, and the newly recovered Shengjing (Shenyang).

Black smoke and carbon monoxide began to emit from the towering chimneys.

Sulphide and soot dyed cities in dull and dull colors, and the brightly colored clothing popular in the Ming Dynasty was gradually replaced by more soil-resistant grays and browns.

Even some weavers in Jiangnan have produced khaki fabrics that were almost the same as those that were once popular in the working era in another century.

Year 1631.

Chongzhen four years in history.

At the same time that the Catholics in Europe were slaughtering Protestants, the Imperial Academy, which had only been formed for a year, but had concentrated a large number of talents from all over the country, finally made the first steam engine based on materials and detailed drawings provided by the "gods".

Same.

The researchers obtained alternative materials from the Yunnan Provincial Envoy and succeeded in making the airtight device that was urgently needed for the steam engine.

At the end of the year, the 'Imperial I' steam engine, which had been improved six times, began to be pumped into the coal mines.

……

Five years later.

The Beijing-Tianjin train line was opened.

As the huge black steel beast roared to the cheers of the people, it spewed billowing black smoke and roared away from the platform along the tracks......

The main combat forces of the empire have completed a full rearmament.

At this time.

In addition to the blue and white uniforms of the 30,000 navy, all 970,000 soldiers, including 10,000 air forces, have changed into army green tweed coats, army green half-sleeves, and long-sleeved elastic and breathable underwear.

The lower body is two styles of same-color military pants and cavalry breeches.

Military boots are divided into cavalry riding boots and infantry boots.

The front head of the infantry boot is embedded with a steel plate, and the bottom has a certain anti-puncture function.

Helmet-wise.

Because of the breakthrough in steelmaking technology and the success of one-time stamping technology, the original popular eight-petal helmet of the Ming and Qing armies was replaced by an army green steel helmet with an integrated stamping and lined with impact-proof cotton.

The steel helmet style is based on the steel helmet style provided by the gods, called "Spicy Crispy Germany".

However, in order to adapt to cold weapon combat, some steel helmets have reserved screw holes that can be equipped with masks, and the matching 'ghost' mask uses carburized steel technology, which can resist a considerable degree of slashing, arrows and some stray bullets.

As for the matching bedding of the same color, individual backpacks, combat vests, water bottles and other things, I will not go into detail one by one.

It is worth mentioning the weapons and equipment that the empire returned to the furnace several times with difficulty.

Now.

The empire's scientific research strength is still weak, although the popularization of compulsory education throughout the country and the introduction of new subjects such as physics, mathematics, and chemistry have opened up the country's wisdom in the past five years.

But in the study of military weapons, several innovative attempts by the Imperial Academy of Research failed miserably.

In the end, they had to abandon the "fully automatic" and "semi-automatic" weapons that they had originally hoped for, and instead copied several rifles from the weapons of the First and Second World Wars of the three countries of Spicy Crisp, the United States and the Soviet Union.

After a year-long comparative test and continuous improvement, the Imperial War Department finally decided to purchase one of the large-caliber bolt-action rifles, which were mainly based on the technical blueprint of the "Mauser" series of the Spicy and Crispy Country, as the main weapon of the soldiers.

Just to increase the speed of changing bullets, some models were improved to feed magazines.

The Imperial Research Institute designed a long, powerful magazine, but it didn't seem to be popular with the soldiers.

The 95-centimeter extra-long bayonet and 75-centimeter triangular bayonet, which were specially modified to enhance their melee combat capabilities, were extremely popular with the soldiers of the expeditionary countries.
