Although the Mu Wangfu in Yunnan gave the old Zhu family to guard Yunnan, and kept it until the end, the Mu family could be trusted, but now after he came to the Ming Dynasty, he entered the era of firearms.

Times have changed, and there is a possibility of a butterfly effect.

So Zhu Jianji still has to hold on to the Mu family in Yunnan.

smiled and said to Mu Cong: "The emergence of the three-stage shot is based on the cumbersomeness of the traditional firearm loading and reloading, delaying time on the battlefield, changing the defects with the three-stage shot, and always ensuring the firepower output, but today's Dongfeng rifle has solved this problem from the root, it is no exaggeration to say that the 30,000 young army can defeat the 100,000 traditional army, and the battle damage will be extremely low, if the country maintains the follow-up of the logistics baggage, even if it is 300,000 troops, for the 30,000 young army, it is only a matter of time." ”

Zhu Jianji smiled gently.

But Mu Cong broke out in a cold sweat.

What does Your Highness mean?

Why do you deliberately propose an army of 300,000, not 400,000, not 500,000, but 300,000.

Because the Mu family has 300,000 in Yunnan!

Your Highness, this is a point yourself.

Mu Cong hurriedly sang praises, and then expressed his loyalty.

Zhu Qiyu on the side saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't laugh in his heart, his son's imperial skills are still too young, and Mu Cong is also young and ignorant.

Fortunately, my son didn't think much about it.

Zhu Qiyu didn't squeak, the future is their young people's.

Zhu Jianji continued: "In this northern expedition, Li Sicheng is also using troops against the Korean level, and the north and the south are fighting at the same time, but the result may be the opposite, our northern expedition is bound to exterminate the Jurchens, Li Sicheng's southern expedition, it is very likely that stealing chickens will not be successful, and finally be broken into the eastern capital siege war, so after the northern expedition to the Jurchens, the Mujia army in Yunnan will prepare to expand the Indochina Peninsula southward. ”

Indochina is poor.

But the Indochina Peninsula has resources, population, and mines, all of which are urgently needed by the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Ming Dynasty built four vertical and four horizontal official roads, which required a lot of manpower, and with the current industrial level, people would die when opening mountains and building bridges, and people from the Indochina Peninsula could be used at this time.

And once it expands south, it will be very cheap.

Moreover, the trading house presided over by Bai Xiu in Fujian is also on a global voyage, and sooner or later it will find North and South America, and as long as it finds North and South America, it will be able to bring back rubber trees.

Indochina is suitable for large-scale rubber cultivation.

To develop transportation, rubber is a necessity.

Therefore, it is imperative to expand southward.

Mu Cong was taken aback, "Do you want to use troops against Nanzhang and other places?" ”

Zhu Jianji bowed, "After the situation in Annan is stabilized, the Guangxi Metropolitan Division and the Guangdong Metropolitan Division have already been in Yunnan, and they will send troops to control Annan, and then use Yunnan and Annam as a springboard to take Zhancheng, Nanzhang and other places, in a word, I want to control the entire Southeast Peninsula in the hands of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Mu Cong's blood suddenly surged, "Your Highness is a great talent!" ”

So ambitious......

It has surpassed the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!

Zhu Jianji was happy, "Yunnan's current strength is enough to sweep the Indochina Peninsula, but the war is changing rapidly, we still can't be careless, and when the time comes, Gu will still give you Dongfeng firearms to achieve crushing on the battlefield and reduce the battle damage of Daming Erlang." ”

Get up, "Let's go, go to the Donggong Military Research Institute with Gu, and give your Mu family a little confidence in the Indochina Peninsula." ”

Mu Cong hurriedly followed.

Zhu Jianji walked a few steps and glanced back at Zhu Qiyu, "Old Zhu, together?" ”

Zhu Qiyu was not interested, "I don't want to go." ”

Zhu Jianji said angrily: "Let's go!" ”

One day you know to lie flat.

I don't care about the development of the country's military, you are a big tomorrow.

Zhu Qiyu was secretly happy in his heart, I care about a fart, with you, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu is very relieved, but his son said so, in front of the courtiers, he must save face.

Immediately got up, "Swing, Donggong Military Research Institute." ”

……

……

The Son of Heaven, the crown prince, plus Mu Cong, the Duke of Qianguo, and Zhu Yi, the Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Mao, the British Gong, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Chen Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Hang Min, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the East Palace Military Research Institute suddenly became lively.

The Son of Heaven left the palace, and the battle was very large.

So the eyes of the whole Gyeonggi were attracted.

Outsiders don't know what happened to the Military Research Institute to attract such a big old man.

Those who know the truth guess that it is likely that the Military Research Institute has produced some great results.

The East Palace Military Research Institute made Shi Xin emotional.

The Donggong Military Research Institute is about to be restructured, and he, the order of the Donggong Military Research Institute, will also withdraw from the court establishment, not only him, but the entire Donggong Military Research Institute is the same, but the current battle makes these people find that there is nothing wrong with the restructuring.

The Donggong Military Research Institute is still the top priority of the Ming Dynasty.

First in the office building.

Shi Xin faced the Son of Heaven and the crown prince and reported the results of the past six months.

According to His Royal Highness's design, the Donggong Military Research Institute already has hundreds of hydraulic lathes, and the lathes produced in the later period have been temporarily adjusted to facilitate the improvement of electrically driven lathes.

At the same time, the boring machine and milling machine have also been launched, and they can be produced in less than half a year.

With the progress of the R&D Department of the Ministry of Industry's steelmaking plant, the firepower heavy artillery can basically be produced and can be equipped in this northern expedition, but there are not many of them.

Up to ten, a thousand shells.

The problem of light machine guns has been completely solved, and it can meet the performance requirements of rapid fire, with a rate of fire of about 100 rounds without 60 breaths, and the scrap rate is only about 20%.

On the basis of the previous 200, after upgrading and revising, it has reached 250.

30,000 Dongfeng rifles.

It has been allocated to the Young Army of the East Palace.

In terms of ammunition, because it is necessary to ensure the daily training of the young army, it is not much at present, but after the young army goes out, the consumption of ammunition is reduced, so it can be quickly produced and followed, and as long as the logistics can be guaranteed, it will be delivered to the young army with improper energy sources.

At present, it can only guarantee the young army to go on the expedition, and the ammunition of the Dongfeng rifle is about 1.5 million rounds.

Dongfeng sniper rifle, although it is not a perfect sniper rifle, but at the request of His Royal Highness the Prince, the Donggong Military Research Institute still vigorously develops and produces it, and equips the young army with 200 pieces.

For the formation of a sniper unit, it has been allocated to the Young Army.

20,000 rounds of ammunition.

At the same time, the production of mortars was increased by 300, which has been allocated to the Donggong Young Army, so that the number of mortars in the Young Army has been maintained at 500, but the ammunition is slightly insufficient.

There are only about 20,000 rounds, and if there is a demand for the young army's northern expedition, it can focus on tackling key problems and accelerating production.

Finally, there is the short gun designed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Equip the Snow Iron Rider.

But because there is too much time, the zero-price demand is too precise, and it is equipped with automatic magazine reloading, so the progress is very slow, and there is only one prototype at present, with a range of less than thirty steps, and the power is also very small.

The point is that the magazine is not enough to meet the demand.

Not available for Snow Iron Rider for the time being.

The layman looks at the doorway.

Mu Cong was confused when he heard it.

But Zhu Yi and Zhang Mao, who had seen the power of firearms in Yingxiang Gorge, were shocked to hear it.

The size of this firearm ......

Isn't it a bit overkill to fight a Jurchen?
