Huo Weihua's face did not change, and he said: "It may be that some breakthrough has been made... Nowadays it is really usable.. So the minister thought about whether he could ask the Royal Ordnance General Bureau to deploy some machinery and manpower first, and try to produce a batch of firearms."

Zhu Youzhen glanced at Huo Weihua, as if to say, should you be engaged in research as a master?

"I don't think this matter can make any progress in such a quick time, you know, this scientific thing is a very rigorous thing, and you can't be sloppy in the slightest."

Huo Weihua was a little speechless.

Slowly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty.. The situation in Annan is changing day by day. Military reform in various places is also being carried out in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court.."

Zhu Youzhen said with some incomprehension: "Isn't that pretty good?" All localities have carried out the work according to the requirements, and the work of your military department is also better? ”

"Your Majesty.. It's not that simple... Although the military reform is being carried out in various places, the military reform in the Annan area and the surrounding Daming region.

The minister has been pressing..

But now that all localities are changing, and the local people's hearts are also fluctuating, many military households have a vague sense of passive preparation for war."

As he spoke, Huo Weihua's eyes slowly turned red.

Then he said: "This Annan has a lot of Tusi, when I saw this situation, I thought that my Ming Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and I was ready to directly release the control over them, and many local Ming Dynasty people were more or less persecuted..."

Zhu Youzhen seemed to realize something in an instant.

"How dare they! How dare you persecute my people like this! Zhu Youzhen, whose expression changed instantly, was already full of anger in his chest.

"And I! Let's talk about it! ”

As soon as he spoke, Zhu Youzhen's tone directly took on a chilling meaning...

After all, if the matter of Annan touches the people of Daming, especially endangers the lives of the people in the border areas...

Annan..

will be directly raised to a higher level, and the next Zhu Youzhen may complete the peace with Huang Taiji as soon as possible and Houjin's compensation to Daming.

After that, he changed direction and directly organized men to march to Annam.

"The minister learned a little. It's not just the Tusi who are persecuting the people of the Ming Dynasty in the local area, but the attitude of some Tusi who were originally good friends with the Ming Dynasty has now begun to become ambiguous."

"Many Ming people living in the Annam area are not living a good life today... There are quite a few barbarians in Annam who don't work themselves. I made a living by stealing and robbing the people of the Ming Dynasty."

Huo Weihua's attitude in his words actually illustrates the complexity of the current situation in Annan.

Plainly.

Annan's Tusi departments are just waiting for the reaction of the Ming Dynasty.

Such means.

For them, it's not the first time they've used it.

It's just that this is the first time since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, but unlike the last small friction, this friction is directly aimed at the people of the Ming Dynasty.

For Zhu Youzhen, the difference is very big.

If you attack the officials sent out by the Ming Dynasty to pacify them, or if you don't follow the control, Zhu Youzhen can be understood as your disregard for the Ming court.

But now, directly attacking the people of the Ming Dynasty is to look down on the entire Ming Empire and to him as the emperor.

"In this case, I will allow you, this time I am not only so simple, I also give you ten infantry divisions of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army, two artillery divisions, five of which you stay in Yunnan... Everything else can be brought into Annam! ”

"Besides, I promised you that you could include the military household or local troops in this battle against Annam, and I have fulfilled it for you this time..."

"As for . . . Name.. It's called the Pingnan Army! ”

After Zhu Youzhen said that, Huo Weihua's expression began to become excited, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Minister! Thank you, the Emperor! ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed.

The huge imperial machine of the Ming Empire once again worked because of the war to pacify Annan, but this time, Zhu Youzhen will be more prepared...

You know, in the battle of the pacification of Houjin.

With a strong weapon advantage and cross-era artillery coverage, the casualties of the Sky Tiger Army can be said to have been reduced to the lowest level possible, but even so, the final casualties and various non-combat attrition were counted.

It also made Zhu Youzhen extremely distressed, and the battle against Houjin ended at the cost of the Tianhu Army's disabled nearly three infantry divisions.

Almost every army of the Heavenly Tiger Army that participated in the war was reduced to varying degrees.

Moreover, many of these attritions are still non-combat, and even the logistics support brigades in the rear have suffered a lot of casualties ...

This undoubtedly illustrates.

In the foreign battles of the Ming Dynasty, there are still imperfect places.

But such a result.

In the eyes of the outside world, it is glorious, it is joyful and shocking...

"Pacify the matter of Annan, Wang Companion.. In your opinion, I'm in a bit of a hurry?"

Closed his eyes slightly, waiting for Huo Weihua to leave.

Zhu Youzhen tasted the mellow fragrance of Longjing before the rain between his mouths, and said to Wang Chengen...

"Back to the Emperor.. According to the old slave, there is nothing wrong with the emperor's move, this Annan is my Ming Dynasty's long-term stubborn disease, although it is not painful, but it makes the court annoyed, and it seriously endangers the peace and stability of my southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youzhen nodded.. That's not what he thought in his heart.

On the one hand, it is a conspiracy against Annan, and on the other hand, the role played by Annan in the Ming Dynasty is too troublesome.

Instead of constantly procrastinating backwards.

It's better to solve it at once, and with the powerful courage of thunder attack, let these little monkeys in the southwest see the Ming Dynasty as a means of the Heavenly Empire.

This time, the Pingnan Army set up by Zhu Youzhen.

The level is quite high, and it can be said that in a sense, it can be compared with the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army.

But this is in a sense.

In the eyes of the outside world, of course, the gap with the Tianhu Army is not a little bit, the most important of which is the composition of this personnel, Huo Weihua is directly screened among the local army after the military reform of the Ming Dynasty and the military households who are interested in continuing to join the army and serve the country.

It can be said that these people only need to be able to change their own ruffianism.

Then, in fact, the quality of the soldiers is better than that of the Tianhu Army, which is mainly composed of young and strong displaced people.

Royal Directorate of Ordnance:

Sun Yuanhua looked at Huo Weihua in front of him helplessly, and said...

"Even if you say it's going to break the sky... I can't produce this stuff for you! ”
