Just when Li Banghua was rectifying in Beijing, Lao Zhu was not idle, he directly took people to the War Bureau.

The central manufacturing of weapons in the Ming Dynasty is divided into two large departments, namely the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau.

Among them, the Ordnance Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and most of the products built are cold weapons, and there are a large number of craftsmen under its command.

The War Bureau is under the jurisdiction of the Internal Supervision Bureau, which is under the supervision of the Taipei, and they are mostly responsible for the creation and research and development of firearms.

Now, Jingying Lao Zhu was handed over to Li Banghua to rectify, but on the side of ordnance manufacturing, he couldn't find a suitable person to supervise it for a while, and he himself was a little curious about the current firearms, so he simply came by himself.

Lao Zhu, who came out of history, naturally knew how corrupt the Ming Dynasty's weapons manufacturing was.

Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, Shanxi, once said that the same armor costs 11 taels of silver to be made by the Ministry of Industry, while the craftsmen in the border towns only need more than three taels.

If you want to say that there is no greasy in this, you won't believe it if you kill Lao Zhu.

So it is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu decided to rectify the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau.

After all, if he was coveted by these corrupt officials when he was building weapons, then didn't his family copy it in vain?

The War Bureau is one of the eight bureaus and has a palm print eunuch.

After learning that Lao Zhu Shengjia had arrived, Li Qinghong, the eunuch of the Palm Seal of the War Bureau, immediately greeted him.

"Slave maid Li Qinghong has seen Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord, Long Live Long Live."

"Alright, get up."

Lao Zhu looked at Li Qinghong, who was sincerely afraid, and said, "You take us around, we want to see what magic weapons I have now." ”

Hearing Lao Zhu say this, Li Qinghong looked up behind Lao Zhu with some trepidation, and found that except for Wang Chengen, there were basically no familiar faces, which made him feel cold in his heart.

It is often said that there are people in the court who are easy to do, and for them, eunuchs, it is someone in the palace who is easy to do.

As long as the emperor has people he is familiar with, then even if there is any basket, there will be someone to help make peace, and it is very likely that the big thing will be turned into a small thing.

After all, the emperor is in the palace every day, what can he know, all these things, not all rely on these eunuchs around him to tell him.

But today Lao Zhu suddenly came to inspect the War Bureau, and he didn't say hello to him in advance, and even the acquaintances around the emperor were none of them today, how could this make Li Qinghong a little unflustered.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Li Qinghong kneeling on the ground and not moving, Wang Chengen instantly frowned, and opened his mouth to scold: "Long live Lord let you take him to visit, are you deaf?" ”

"No, no."

Li Qinghong, who was a little frightened, heard Wang Chengen's scolding, and hurriedly kowtowed: "There is a lot of gunpowder in the military battle bureau, and if you are not careful, it will cause an explosion." ”

"This is not a perfect place, long live the Holy Body and ten thousand gold, you must not approach this dangerous place."

Li Qinghong's head was like pounding garlic, and he didn't dare to let Lao Zhu enter the war bureau if he said anything, after all, it hadn't been many years since the last Apocalypse Big Bang.

If Lao Zhu enters, let alone accidentally have an accident, even if he is shocked by the cannon, his nine clans will be buried with him.

What's more, the things of the War Bureau can be seen by outsiders, if others know about it, forget it, but if Your Majesty sees it with his own eyes......

"Why, where do we need your approval to go?"

Lao Zhu is not a turtle who has never seen firearms, and he is no stranger to firearms at all, plus he has spanned more than two hundred years of history, although he has not experienced them one by one in the past two hundred years, but under the special effect of the simulator, those recorded in the history books, he can almost say that he has witnessed them all.

So for firearms, although Lao Zhu can't make them, after Xu Guangqi and his disciple Sun Yuanhua died, he dared to say that there was no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who knew better than him.

What kind of bullshit and dangerous place, Daming's firearms forging technology is now very mature, although these eight lambs don't do anything, and they have made the War Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau into a miasma.

But in terms of safe production, they have controlled it very well, at least as far as Lao Zhu knows, there have been no major accidents in the War Bureau for nearly ten years.

Therefore, although the military battle is a little dangerous, this degree of danger will not be much greater than choking to death by drinking cold water, so Lao Zhu has no fear at all.

Looking at Li Qinghong, who was still kowtowing, Lao Zhu was already a little impatient, "Now let's give you two choices." ”

"Either you stand up and lead the way, or we cut you down and someone else leads the way."

"Two paths, choose for yourself."

Hearing Lao Zhu's impatient voice, Li Qinghong knew that she would definitely not be able to stop Lao Zhu, so she had to stand up tremblingly and walk ahead to lead the way.

The most sophisticated and powerful firearms of the Ming Dynasty today are undoubtedly the Franc cannon and the redcoat cannon.

Among them, the Fran cannon has a fast rate of fire, high security, is easy to carry, and the power is not small, it is suitable for various terrains, and it is one of the main equipment in the Ming army.

Lao Zhu asked the people of the War Bureau to test fire at the shooting range for a while, looking at the Franc cannon that could shoot three shells in only twenty breaths, Lao Zhu was stunned for a long time.

There is still a big difference between knowing and seeing, and the power of the Fran cannon he felt in history was far less shocking than when he saw it with his own eyes.

After a long time, Lao Zhu touched the still warm Franco cannon with his hand, and he felt complete emotion in his heart.

"In Poyang Lake, if I had two hundred gates...... No, even if it's a hundred, I can directly beat Chen Youliang to his knees and beg for mercy. ”

"With this thing, what kind of strategy do you need, let's just push him sideways!!"

It's just that although the Franc cannon is easy to use, it is not without its shortcomings, that is, the firing range is a little shorter, and it can generally hit targets within a mile.

As for the other redcoat cannon, it is the opposite of the Furlong cannon.

The cardinal cannon had a slow rate of fire, and the barrel was bulky and almost impossible to transfer, so it can be said that the Franc cannon had several advantages, but it did not have any of them.

And the redcoat cannon with so many defects only uses one advantage to make up for these shortcomings, that is, the redcoat cannon has a long range!

The conventional firing range of the redcoat cannon is two miles, that is, one thousand meters, and the ultimate firing range is about 1,500 meters.

At this range, if you are defending the city, before you get close, the city wall will already hit you twice.

On the battlefield, play two rounds in advance, what a concept this is!

"Good things, they're all good things."

Lao Zhu's eyes were slightly reddened and he stroked the two cannons, his heart was full of emotion, and he couldn't help himself.

In his original era, that is, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was not without enemies.

The remnants of Yuanmeng, Tatar, Warat, and Annam have not been settled.

Oh, by the way, now, I have to add a Jurchen, and when I go back to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu will definitely kill them as soon as possible.

So Lao Zhu had already made up his mind at this time, and the production process of these cannons, whatever he said, he had to memorize them by rote and bring them back to the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty.

When the time comes, use these cannons to bombard his mother, and those aliens who don't fight kneel down and call Grandpa Daming, even if he Zhu Chongba has no ability.

And just when Lao Zhu asked Li Qinghong to take the drawings of the Franco cannon and the red-clothed cannon, it had been silent for a long time, as if it did not exist, and suddenly a prompt sounded in Lao Zhu's mind.
