Gu Hou frowned and said, "How strong is it...... This last general is not clear, and it is estimated that no one knows, after all, it is still in the research and development stage, but the last general heard that this assault rifle does not need to pull the bolt to load bullets and gunpowder, and the gun has a magazine on it, which can hold twenty or thirty bullets in it, and can shoot continuously until the magazine is exhausted, and after it is exhausted, you only need to replace it with a new magazine and continue to shoot! ”

"So tough!" Zhu Houzhao felt that he was listening to the book of heaven, but it seemed that there was no need to make a fuss when he thought about it, how many unbelievable things has that guy done over the years?

Gu Hou nodded cautiously and said: "It is very strong, and the effective killing distance of this assault rifle is several times that of the old-fashioned musket, and it is required to be able to reach at least three hundred steps, and the accuracy is also several grades higher than that of the old-fashioned musket."

Zhu Houzhao swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "This assault rifle ...... I want it, next time I will bring 100,000 sticks, no, no, 200,000 sticks, my brother will settle the account, how much silver, let him speak, I will be slaughtered and recognized! ”

Gu Hou was completely speechless, and when it came to Emperor Wu's mouth, Emperor Jiajing seemed to have become a black-hearted arms dealer......

"This seems unlikely, Your Majesty said that if you want to make the assault rifle successful, it will take at least three years to go through testing, and then it will take at least three years to mass-produced......"

"For so long, the people in the military factory all eat white rice?"

Gu Hou: "......"

"Forget it, I can't wait that long, in three years, I estimate that Europe will be unified, what's the use of an assault rifle? Let's talk about something else, why there are only 300 bazookas and only 100 howitzers, it's really enough. ”

"Emperor Wu is wrong to blame Your Majesty." Gu Hou smiled: "This rocket artillery is simply a mobile artillery that can be carried by one person, the power is not inferior to the mortar, this is also the latest weapon developed by the military factory, it has just been launched, there are a total of three hundred, as for the howitzer, the martial emperor is familiar with it than the last general, but the howitzer brought this time is more advanced, the shelling distance can reach fifteen miles at most, and the power is naturally stronger than the old howitzer, the most important thing is that the wheels of this howitzer are all made of rubber, and a few people can easily push it and run like flying."

Zhu Houzhao said with some satisfaction: "This is about the same, but the number is too small, if there are a thousand, just with cannons, I can bulldoze the European countries......"

Gu Hou smiled and didn't say anything.

"It's a pity......" Zhu Houzhao sighed heavily.

"Why does Emperor Wu feel pity?"

"Hou Wei once said that when hot weapons become the mainstream of war, then personal martial arts will seem insignificant, after all, no matter how good the skill is, it can't stop a bullet, but it's a pity that I am a good martial artist, I should be an invincible general who charges on the battlefield, but now he has become a military advisor who strategizes and wins thousands of miles......"

Although it sounds a little narcissistic, Gu Hou knows that Zhu Houzhao's words are actually not wrong, and it is indeed a pity......

"Don't mention it, Da Ming still needs hard labor now?"

Gu Hou was puzzled: "Hasn't Emperor Wu already expelled all the aborigines of Western Europe under his rule?"

"Four-legged toads are hard to find, there are many of them." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Portugal, Yazhou, Banzhou, Farland and Lancy, there are many Western European laborers in these places, and I didn't enslave them, but now it is estimated that I won't take them away with a stick, because I let them have three meals without worry, and they will get money for a good job!"

"Reproductive rights?"

"This Hou Wei and I have said hundreds of times, it is nothing more than to use the method of depriving the right to have children on the premise of not engaging in genocide to let Western Europeans die out naturally, I have always done this, the hook fences built by Western European women are everywhere in the Dawu Dynasty, and those men who have nowhere to vent their energy take the money and go to consume it, it is very simple."

Gu Hou said with a smile: "Emperor Wu is wise, but the last general is a little worried."

"Okay, you can't come to Western Europe this time and return empty, I will concentrate all these laborers here and the coasts of Portugal and Yazhou, and send another wave of immigrants to Daming, I just don't know if Hou Wei can digest it."

Gu Hou said with a smile: "Emperor Wu can rest assured that the Ming Dynasty is all over the infrastructure, not to mention one or two million laborers, even ten million can be digested, and the foreign laborers will die if they die, and they don't even need compensation, so naturally the more dangerous the project, the more these laborers will be allowed to do it."

For example, His Majesty ordered the construction of a 150-mile-long canal river called the Great Nullah in Linzhou, Henan, which should flatten thousands of mountains and chisel through hundreds of mountains, and 300,000 Western European laborers pounced on it, and more than 20,000 laborers died in just a few years. ”

"Isn't Hou Wei afraid of stirring up labor riots?"

"Slaughter is." Gu Hou obviously didn't take the lives of the aliens seriously, and said disdainfully: "There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Linzhou, dare to riot? But then again, who will riot, these alien laborers are also bitter in Western Europe, and they are also oppressed and exploited by the aristocracy, after arriving in the Ming Dynasty, as long as they are willing to work, they can be fed and clothed, people don't pursue this when they live, and when they die, others are not themselves, who will care about these, if they really want to die one day, they will have the right to treat their own lives as bad, and they can be regarded as liberation. ”

"That's right." Zhu Houzhao deeply agreed.

"Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is working everywhere, such as mining, dredging into the river, digging reservoirs to store water to fight floods, renovating the embankments of various rivers, and building bridges across rivers, some of which are dangerous, some require a large number of laborers, and there are foreign laborers everywhere, and now there are almost 1.8 million laborers in the Ming Dynasty, and in the opinion of the general, at least five million will be needed to temporarily meet the demand."

"A large number of laborers, we must ensure that the laborers can be fed, and if they are not full, they have the strength to work, if it is a good year, it will be counted, if there is a disaster year, it is enough to drink a pot of thick Wei."

"Gu Hou will not forget the high-yielding crops that he will bring back from the Americas."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "That's not it, our Great Wu Dynasty also has a lot of fields planted with corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, but these things, although they can be used as staple food and can be full, but it is not good to eat too much, we Chinese people, after all, we still have to rely on rice grain and wheat."

"The best news I heard when I went back this time was that Daming had successfully cultivated hybrid rice!"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned: "But the kind of grain that Hou Wei once told me that can produce thousands of catties per mu?"

"Exactly!" Gu Hou nodded: "But now that the hybrid rice has just been cultivated, the harvest of one mu is only six or seven hundred catties, this time I came to Dawu, and the last general also brought the seeds to the Martial Emperor on the orders of His Majesty."

"You didn't say this earlier!" Zhu Houzhao laughed: "This news is better than any weapon, with this food, our people in Western Europe will no longer have to worry about hunger and cold!"
