Zhu Jianji nodded frequently.

The Donggong Military Research Institute is indeed powerful, and in terms of firepower reserves and productivity, it is indeed able to catch up with the earliest industrial countries in modern times, but the key is the supply in the later period.

Asked: "This time in the north, the consumption of ammunition will be very large, what is the current daily amount of ammunition, Dongfeng rifles and Dongfeng mortars are damaged to make up for the shortcomings, can they be supplied?" ”

Ammunition is a consumable, the more the merrier.

And although the Dongfeng rifle has been upgraded, it must still be scrapped and needs to be resupplied.

The same goes for Dongfeng mortars.

Shi Xin did not hesitate, "After the scale expansion of production in the past six months, the current ammunition production can reach about 20,000 a day, Dongfeng rifles and mortars, rifles can be produced more than 300 per day, and mortars can reach 20. ”

That's a lot to be proud of.

But Zhu Jianji felt cold in his heart when he heard it, and he felt that it was still a handicraft workshop, and he couldn't reach the scale of assembly line production.

If it really entered the industrial age, it should be thousands of Dongfeng rifles and hundreds of mortars a day, and the ammunition could reach more than 100,000 rounds a day.

The plan to equip all the troops of the Ming Dynasty with firearms still has a long way to go.

After inspecting the Donggong Military Research Institute with Zhu Yi, the British Duke Zhang Mao, and the Duke of Qianguo Mu Cong, they went to the Young Army camp and threw the three princes to Wang Yue's side, so that they could humbly ask for advice.

The three princes are also interested.

Fools can see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to build all the heroes of the Ming Dynasty into firearms troops, and the foreign wars of the Ming Dynasty have entered a new era.

If they do not learn the new methods of firearms warfare now, they will be eliminated sooner or later.

At that time, he can really only lie on the merits of his ancestors and wait for death, which is a life that no young person wants to live, let alone three princes in their prime.

Wang Yue knew what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant, but the three princes had questions and knew everything.

For a while, Zhu Jianji became an outsider.

Zhu Jianji simply took Dai Yi and dragged the cheap father around the camp, both of them were wearing civilian clothes today, but Zhu Jianji was a familiar face in the young army, and the young soldiers saluted him for a while.

As for Zhu Qiyu......

If you don't know, then don't bird him.

Zhu Jianji also deliberately did not break it.

Zhu Qiyu felt aggrieved in his heart, but as a great tomorrow, he was angry in this situation, and he seemed to be narrow.

There's something I'm happy about.

In the entire young army camp, almost all the soldiers, whether they were old soldiers or new recruits who inherited their father, saw the respect when Zhu Jianji saluted, it was from the bottom of their hearts.

The young army, it can almost be said that the son alone has the final say!

If there is a son like this, what more can the husband ask for?

Walking around the camp, he found that the three princes and Wang Yue didn't seem to have any intention of cleaning up, so he simply left them alone, Zhu Jianji asked the young soldiers to be summoned together, and made a simple mobilization to get everyone ready, and promised that after this battle, those who had outstanding achievements in the war would serve in their regimental camps, the local guards of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the 26 guards of the pro-army, and the border army.

Some generals expressed reluctance to go.

Fools go.

Fighting in the young army, the income is not low, the key is to be invincible, safe, and able to accumulate military merits, and if you go to other troops, you have to go to hand-to-hand combat, a matter of life and death.

And these generals have feelings for the young army.

However, Zhu Jianji quickly persuaded these generals: the regimental battalion, the 26th guard of the pro-army, the local guard station, and the border army will carry out military reform, and all of them will be equipped with Dongfeng firearms, and experienced people are needed to lead the army.

Moreover, in the next three or five years, the Ming Xiongshi will go out of the territory and expand the territory.

It is no longer the case that all places are conscripted by the young army.

These words made everyone's blood boil.

As a result, after Zhu Jianji made a brief mobilization, he went back to see that Wang Yue and the three princes were still discussing in waste sleep and forgetting to eat, Zhu Jianji was very helpless, so he took Zhu Qiyu to inspect the heavy snow iron horse.

The 20,000 people were almost all laid off from the guards of the local feudal kings.

It's an old pawn.

But the combat power is not high at the moment.

If you face the Jurchen Iron Cavalry and the Mobei Iron Cavalry, the odds are not great.

However, Zhu Jianji did not intend to let the heavy snow iron cavalry collide with the enemy's cavalry, this is to attack the enemy's strength with his own short, and no general can do such a thing.

The heavy snow iron cavalry only did one thing: wait for the Jurchen to bite after the rout, and not let the Jurchen escape at will.

In this way, the 30,000 young army can cling to the enemy.

In order to annihilate them all!

After the heavy snow iron cavalry Yu Mian finished reporting, Zhu Jianji inspected the whole army again, and after encouraging the generals, he went to the military headquarters and household department with Zhu Qiyu.

】

Explained the logistical matters.

Yu Qian patted his chest and assured that the regimental battalion was willing to go all out to ensure that the missing guns and ammunition were delivered to the young army in time.

Chen Xun is even more atmospheric.

Haoyan, not to mention that His Royal Highness only fought for three months, even if the northern expedition took half a year, the treasury could support it, and it would not affect the construction of the country's livelihood projects.

After the opening of the sea, and the return of Jun Maru to the feudal system, the tax revenue of the national treasury increased dramatically.

What's more, treasure money was also found to plunder the resources and gold and silver of other countries, and it was a huge profit.

Chen Xun estimated that this year's treasury income of the Ming Dynasty would reach at least about 50 million taels if it was equivalent to silver...... And that's not counting the money from other countries' tributaries.

The point is that the tributaries are losing money.

Zhu Qiyu is in charge of the tributary affairs, and he has the same urine sex as the kings of the old Zhu family.

Love face.

After others paid tribute, the things that Zhu Qiyu rewarded were of higher value.

The courtiers didn't have a good idea to say anything.

Daming also wants to save face.

In the end, Zhu Jianji summoned all the officials who were familiar with the war in the military department, and went to the other six departments next to him to call the squires and scholars who were familiar with military affairs, and implemented the specific matters of sending troops to the Jurchens.

It wasn't until dusk that the two fathers and sons returned to their respective homes exhausted.

But the two of them were quite comfortable.

With the implementation of the expedition strategy, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and even the Ministry of Rites were all put into operation overnight, and the documents of the six departments were quickly sent to Shanhaiguan and Liaodong.

At the same time, the Jinyi Guard sent a large number of elites to the northeast.

Although the department in charge of the expedition had to work all night, everyone was in a good mood - the Ming Dynasty had a tradition of expanding its war abroad, and now the Ming Dynasty's expansion had no burden on the treasury.

If you have money and soldiers, why don't you fight?

What's more, since the elimination of the Tang family's relatives and the suppression of the civilian-official clique, more than half of the court centers promoted by Zhu Qiyu's father and son are militants.

He Jian, the left attendant of the military department, and Peng Shi, the right attendant of the military department; Zou Gan, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Li Bing, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites; Yang Ding, the right attendant of the ministry; Wang Fu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works; Xiang Zhong, the left waiter of the Criminal Department......

All of them have served in the army.

So everyone is in high spirits, and we must ensure that we will go on the expedition in three days!

In March of the twentieth year of Jingtai, the Ming Dynasty set out for the Northeast.

Implement the strategy of plowing the court and sweeping the holes of the Jurchens!
