The young army is still training now, and it still uses old-fashioned Dongfeng firearms.

Because of the high scrapping rate of the previous war, I also paid special attention to it during training, and I was afraid that another batch would be scrapped during training, so I strictly trained the number and time every day.

However, Zhu Jianji asked Yu Qian to transfer 10,000 people from the regimental camp.

That is, 30,000 young troops.

Firearms are only available for 20,000 men.

There was a shortage of weapons.

But this was difficult for Wang Yue, who was born as a scholar, and quickly formulated a strategy: first, through the relationship of the East Palace, a large number of traditional firearms were collected among the male teachers in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Let the newly recruited 10,000 people practice the basic skills of shooting with traditional firearms.

After mastering the basic skills, I practiced my shooting skills with the Dongfeng rifle.

Practice 10 rounds a day!

Because of the limited practice every day, the 10,000 newly recruited young soldiers especially cherish the opportunity, not to mention, the effect is excellent, in less than a month, the design technology of the young army, 10,000 newcomers, has been similar to the old pawn.

What is lacking is the experience of practical operation on the battlefield with the Dongfeng rifle.

After Zhu Jianji listened to Wang Yue's report, his head ached.

It's all money!

10,000 people, 10 rounds a day, that's 100,000 ammunition!

And because of the limitations of the industrial level of the Ming Dynasty, the cost of ammunition is high, and now one tael of silver can only make about 150 pieces of ammunition, that is to say, it cost almost 3,000 taels of silver for these 10,000 people to form combat effectiveness.

Three thousand taels of silver is very insignificant compared to Zhu Jianji's current handwriting of tens of millions of taels of silver.

But there's a catch.

Ammunition production has not yet become industrialized.

On the one hand, the Donggong Military Research Institute has to ensure the supply of ammunition for the daily training of the young army, and on the other hand, it has to prepare for the ammunition reserves of the Jurchens after the beginning of spring next year, which is under great pressure.

Relying on manpower to pile up ammunition is not a long-term solution.

It is necessary to create an assembly line for industrial production!

This is ......

Zhu Jianji decided to temporarily change his itinerary, wait for the inspection of the young army, and then go to the Military Research Institute to find Shi Xin and implement the matter of industrialized assembly line production.

After all, the most rudimentary hydroelectric production bed has been taken down under the leadership of Shi Xin, and can be used as a mass production of Dongfeng firearms and their supporting facilities.

The next step is to optimize and scale.

Thinking of this, he said to Wang Yue: "The training of the new 10,000 young army is very important, but it can't be because of this to prevent the veterans from training, don't worry about ammunition, training should be used, then use, as long as we can maintain the combat strength of our young army, don't say 100,000 rounds a day, 300,000 orphans will also be brought out for you!"

Wang Yue sighed.

He didn't dare to take His Highness's words seriously.

He even knew that the Military Research Institute's daily ammunition production was less than 50,000 rounds, and the training of these 10,000 newcomers had already run out of two months.

You will continue to train in the later stage......

In other words, just to ensure the amount of training, the Military Research Institute is already struggling.

After all, the Young Army now has 30,000 men.

What's even more troublesome is that the 20,000 people who were cut off by the local feudal kings and escorted were also sent to Gyeonggi, and they were about to be incorporated into the young army, which was a full 50,000 people.

How much ammunition is needed for the training of a firearms unit of 50,000 people?

How much ammo will be spent in battle?

Just thinking about it, Wang Yue felt that his scalp was numb.

It's not that there is no money.

It's that the speed of production can't keep up.

Zhu Jianji didn't worry about it, what was the panic, I didn't have anything, but the population was large.

In the feudal era, wasn't eating a demographic dividend?

His face sank, and he said to Wang Yue, who sighed, "What are you so decadent, don't you bother to do more than you to preside over this matter alone? Lone is not worried, and it is not your turn to worry!"

Wang Yue was taken aback.

Groove ......

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry,

It's kind of scary.

These people all felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to be very approachable with the courtiers, but everyone seemed to have forgotten one fact.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also has a decisive tyrant side.

Wang Yue immediately said, "It's Weichen who has lost his face."

Zhu Jianji snorted, "10,000 young soldiers and 20,000 old soldiers, continue to keep training, don't worry about ammunition, wait a trip to the Military Research Institute, let Shi Xin continue to expand the size of the ammunition production team."

Wang Yue received the decree.

Later, under the leadership of Wang Yue, Zhu Jianji went to inspect the shooting training of the newly recruited 10,000 people, and found that some people were not in the right mental state, so he asked Wang Yue what was going on.

Wang Yue looked helpless, "The pain period of the newcomer can't be solved."

Those people's mental state is not right, it is not that military discipline is lax, in fact, the military discipline of the young army has always been very strict.

Otherwise, there would not be such a high combat effectiveness.

Wang Yue continued: "They also strictly abide by military discipline, obey military orders, let them go into battle to kill the enemy, and they will definitely not be one step behind, but their mentality has always lacked a spirit, thinking that being a soldier is a job, supporting a family, and being promoted to make a fortune, so they will have such a mentality of being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day."

Zhu Jianji was thoughtful, "This is a lack of responsibility."

The political and ideological work was not done properly.

Seemingly......

Gotta add a commissar to the young army?

He also said: "Their military service is not only a job, but also a future, but also a sense of responsibility for the family and country, and if they continue like this, such an army will decay sooner or later, so while doing a good job in armed force training, we must pay close attention to the building of ideological work and do a good job in political work, so ......

Zhu Jianji pondered for a while, "That's it, from now on, the Young Army of the East Palace, regardless of whether it is a soldier or a new army, will conduct firearms shooting, tactical drills, and physical training every afternoon, and cultural training in the morning."

Wang Yue, "Cultural Training?"

Your Highness, are you serious?

Let a group of reckless brothers come to read, and they can read it?

Do they recognize words?

Zhu Jianji said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, all members of the Young Army will eliminate illiteracy, and the orphan will be selected from the local government schools to teach the soldiers to read and write, and then learn some poems and books on self-cultivation in the Four Books and Five Classics."

Wang Yue's face was incredulous, "This is 30,000 people!"

How many Mr. Teach?

Zhu Jianji smiled, "It's okay, you can teach the general class first, and then the general class is responsible for the respective subordinates of the lower levels, this is a death order, before going to the Jurchens next year, the young soldiers must all be literate, and the young army that needs to be at that time is an army that fights because of a sense of responsibility and mission, not a crowd of horsemen who just obey military orders to go out!"

Wang Yue thought for a moment, "You don't need to teach Mr., I can do this!"

Zhu was happy, "I almost forgot that you are also a scholar."

After pondering for a long time, "Then Gu will emphasize, Commander Wang, when you come to be in charge of this matter, you must be sure of two things, one is that the young army must fully understand Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong", it will be the military words of my young army, and at the same time, the young army formulates a military song, just use "Jing Zhong to serve the country"!"
