Zhu Laosi, what new way do you think of, you want to debate with me, Cheng Yuan's butt hurts, where do you have the leisure to come over and listen to him. Can't you review it well?

"Your Majesty, let's talk about not playing the board first, you want to seal the matter of the third prince? Or do you want to value firearms? ”

This guy really can't keep his mouth shut, look at what this mouth says.

From the beginning of knowing Cheng Yuan, others don't know, Zhu Di knows best, shocked by Cheng Yuan's prophetic ability, and says one sentence after another.

Especially in Suzhou, Huzhou, Songjiang, and Jiaxing, there are floods in the four prefectures, and he predicted it again.

The flood was menacing, but it was resolved in time and did not cause much harm.

Zhu Di felt that he was obviously the emperor, but his prediction ability was not as good as that of Cheng Yuan, how could he be embarrassed.

This guy is willing to be sent by God to assist him in accomplishing his great cause.

Zhu Di scolded with a smile: "You should look at your ass, you are really not ashamed, I want to talk about firearms, and then talk about Gao Sui." ”

Boy...... I predicted it again, I'm such a genius.

Now that Chengyuan Station has the rules and regulations, he can talk back to Zhu Laosi, but he must not make trouble when Zhu Laosi is talking about business, otherwise you will be moved directly with your head.

Zhu Di sat down, thinking of the battles of most of his life these days, and the thunder and firearms that often sounded in his dreams made him feel shocked.

Historically, Emperor Yongle set up the Shenji Battalion in addition to the five military camps and the three thousand battalions, and established the world's earliest specialized firearms arms, which is really not unrelated to his current situation.

After many years of experience in warfare, Zhu Di knows the importance of firearms, and for Mobei, strong bows and arrows, horses and fast whips, these firearms are unpalatable, so that Zhu Di is impressed by the use of firearms.

Zhu Di was always anxious waiting for Cheng Yuan to go to court, and finally saw Cheng Yuan, and immediately pulled out the note about the coast and stuffed it into Cheng Yuan's hand: "Look, the pirates are making waves and snatching firearms from nowhere." ”

Cheng Yuan took the song, hurriedly browsed it, and knew that this was no different from the indiscriminate killing, burning and looting of the Japanese recorded in the history books.

"You know best when I was in trouble, the Yan army has tasted the fire of the Southern Army, I am very interested in these firearms, about firearms craftsmen, firearms drawings, firearms workshops, etc., I want to reorganize.

When the locusts have happened, you have to be responsible, first of all, to formulate a strict confidentiality system, but also to formulate a series of rewards and punishments for the development of firearms, to encourage these firearms craftsmen to make firearms for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di's words ended, and Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty should also establish a firearms unit, which is what the minister thinks is the most suitable." ”

Firearms troops! Zhu Di thought about it a few days ago, but he didn't have a specific idea, and he didn't expect Cheng Yuan to propose this thing again today, so he said immediately: "Cheng Yuan, you and I thought of going together." ”

Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "Build a firearms army, and defend the capital of Daming together with His Majesty's three thousand battalions and five military battalions, it is better to call it ...... Camp Divine Machine. ”

Zhu Di stood up abruptly: "Shenji Battalion, you actually coincide with me, I want to form a Beijing battalion army based on pure firearms." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, he attached great importance to the development of firearms because of the big bargain of firearms, but the proportion of firearms in the Ming army has always been very low. Among the 100 people, there are only 10 firearms, and the others are cold weapons.

Of course, because the firearm is blown up, the firearm is not as powerful as in the later period.

Zhu Di has been interested and familiar with military affairs since he was a child.

He suffered the loss of firearms every time he was in the midst of martyrdom.

Zhu Di summed up his experience and knew that firearms could be used as sharp weapons when they were used, so last year he began to plan in his heart to build a firearms army.

Unlike other units, the Shenji Battalion has basically replaced cold weapons with firearms.

"Your Majesty, I think that firearms are no better than cold weapons, and the process requirements for firearms are higher, and the requirements for firearms craftsmen are also strict.

If the demand for firearms craftsmen is not realized, then the Shenji Battalion will become an empty talk. ”

Zhu Di thought for a while, and pulled out a scroll of drawings from the bottom of the song, "Come here, I want you to write out your plan for the Shenji Camp on this scroll of drawings." Can you do it tonight? ”

"You can do it."

"Really? If you can't do it, I'm going to punish you. Zhu Di added: "Of course it's not a board, it's other punishment." ”

"If the minister does it tonight, how will Your Majesty reward the minister?" Cheng Yuan was full of confidence and said with a smile.

"Then I will give you my treasure."

Baby? The Night Pearl is still the sword of the Zhenguo, perhaps a good thing for the vassal state to pay tribute.

Cheng Yuan said: "The minister can't wait for His Majesty's baby." ”

According to the discussion with Zhu Di just now, the Shenji Battalion specializes in learning everything related to firearms, and there are many things that need to be prepared.

Bowl cannons, general cannons, handles, quick guns, individual firearms, siege firearms are required...... As well as rockets, they also need to adapt to various terrains.

However, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty will not fight alone, it will cooperate with cavalry, infantry, and cold weapons.

Firearms are sharp and ferocious, and they can achieve the effect of deterrence when fighting, and win the greatest victory and results at the lowest cost.

Cheng Yuan only needs to hand over his plan to Zhu Di, and Zhu Di will choose the construction and drills of the Shenji Battalion one after another, and the firearms craftsmen will also be managed by a special organization.

These things still need to be cooperated by the Ministry of Industry, and if he knows a little about firearms, it is unlikely that he will make them.

It's like we'll build a house, but not everybody will build a house.

When it comes to firearms, it is naturally inseparable from gunpowder, black powder, which craftsmen often try.

The most famous is Tao Chengdao in Hong Wunian, who has already given his life for this kind of cause. The craftsmen also gained a lot of experience in what proportions could produce greater results.

For gunpowder, it is not good to be powerful.

Some gunpowder is so powerful that it explodes as soon as it is used.

Firearms are inseparable from materials, the Ming Dynasty inherited the coke iron smelting technology of the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the quality of materials directly determines the safety and life of firearms.

With today's level of craftsmanship, it is not easy to refine a piece of steel, because it cannot be mass-produced, and if a large amount of manpower is concentrated, only a few rare and precious firearms can be made.

For the Ming army, it makes no sense.

For firearms, Cheng Yuan thought about flintlock pistols, and flintlock pistols can be achieved as long as the process is improved, with his own doctrine and craftsman efforts, and with hard work.

This can be written out and given to Zhu Di, and the specific research and development depends on craftsmen.

Then, Cheng Yuan raised three more strikes, which is undoubtedly the easiest way for Daming to solve the problem of charging and reloading every time a firearm is fired.

The original prototype of the three-stage attack was that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent his son Mu Ying to attack the local wild elephant troops when he was in Yunnan, and they were a group of three.

When Zhu Di saw what was written in the drawings, he slapped the table violently, and scared the dozing attendants outside the hall into running in immediately.

"Yes, I have a difficult problem with firearms now, that is, the rate of fire of firearms is too slow, which affects the power of firearms.

I will immediately ask the generals to organize the Shenji Battalion tomorrow and promote this method. ”

Cheng Yuan knew when to invite merit and when to be humble, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this was not thought up by the minister, but proposed by General Mu Yingmu of Yunnan back then, and the minister just processed and improved it." ”

"I don't know this method, now that the news of the Ming Dynasty is spreading slowly, this method may only be circulated in Yunnan, so I count your credit."

"Your Majesty actually thought of it, isn't it, the credit should be Your Majesty's."

"You and I coincide with each other, I mention it to other generals, they are not optimistic, and you are the only one who is like-minded with me."

Then shouldn't your baby reward me, you have aroused my curiosity, take the baby you gave to sell it, and then the greenhouse will be made with money.

Cheng Yuan couldn't help laughing, showing his teeth.
