It is human nature to favor the victor and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Houjin has been defeated again and again this year, and the hostile forces around him will not say that they will immediately take advantage of the fire to rob, but it is inevitable to despise it.

If we can't reverse the decline, maybe some force will be ready to move. Nurhachi could not predict possible changes, and his worries and impatience were also normal thinking.

In the eyes of Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, the use of Han soldiers and firearms is a good way to seize the skills of the Ming army and reverse the passive situation.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's view, the decisive factor in the outcome of the Ming and Qing wars in history was not advanced and new weapons, but the corruption of the Ming Dynasty.

In the final analysis, weapons are important, but in the absence of a crushing advantage, talent is the key factor in determining the outcome of a war.

And according to the current level of technology and manufacturing, it is not possible to make aircraft cannons and machine guns. In order to defeat the Eastern Prisoners, it is necessary to work on the officers and soldiers.

With the manpower advantage of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is only equipped with broadswords and spears, as long as the army fights bravely, it is enough to defeat the remnants of the Eastern Captives, right?

Of course, if the ability allows, the weapon is advanced, and it is better to lead the world trend, which is also the urine of the traverser.

And Zhu Youxiao has a good life, he is the supreme emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, in charge of the sky, the earth and the air, and there are many talents. As long as it is used well, as long as he puts forward ideas, someone will naturally help him complete it.

Holding the new musket presented by the Gunpowder and Ordnance Bureau, the self-generated firearm, Zhu Youxiao was excited and excited.

Although his wooden gun played a good role as a reminder, but when it became a real thing, Sun Yuanhua and others didn't know how much hard work they had paid.

The construction of the flintlock pistol and the arquebus is largely the same, except for the difference in the firing device.

The fire rope is to be fixed on the fire rope clamp (that is, the hammer of the gun later), pull the plate machine, make the fire rope fall, light the primer, and then ignite the propellant.

The flintlock pistol is to replace the fire rope with a polished flint piece, and there is an anvil on the side of the fire hole, pull the trigger, and under the action of the reed, the flint is hit heavily on the edge of the fire door, and sparks emerge, igniting the gunpowder and firing.

One is an open flame, which does not require much power from the hammer; If one wants to produce Mars by striking friction, it must have a lot of strength.

This is also the technical difficulty that Zhu Youxiao thinks, the spring or steel sheet with strong elasticity.

Although crucible steelmaking is successful, it still needs long-term tests to find the appropriate ratio and process to create elastic steel with relatively stable quality.

Pulling the hammer, Zhu took aim with the school gun and pulled the plate machine.

The flint flakes slammed into the anvil, bursting out a few sparks, like a flash of light in the dark night, illuminating the emperor's eyes.

"Yes, very good." Zhu Youxiao took a deep breath and let out a sigh of relief, although it was not inlaid with gold and jade, he still cherished the sample gun and asked the palace people to put it away.

Looking up at the two people standing solemnly in the hall, Zhu Youxiao was forced to be excited, maintaining the emperor's reserve, although his voice changed slightly.

"Sun Qing, Bi Qing. This will be the best New Year's gift I can ever give. Zhu Youxiao praised it, turned his head to look at Liu Ruoyu, and ordered: "Proposed purpose: Sun Yuanhua added capital to govern Yin (Wen Xun Zheng Sanpin), promoted to General Doctor (Wen Sanjie Zheng Sanpin), gave Feiyu suit, Guiyu, and a reward of two hundred taels of silver; ”

"Bi Mao Kang Jia Zanzhi Yin (Wen Xun Zheng 4th Grade), promoted to Zhongxian Doctor (Wen San's 4th Grade), given a bullfighting costume, and rewarded 100 taels of silver......"

"We're thanking you." Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.

Bi Maokang was a scholar in the 26th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, awarded the middle school, and later moved to Guangxi Province to supervise the imperial history, the right to the imperial history, the Shaanxi patrol, and the Shandong patrol salt imperial history.

But he is best known in history for the "Illustrated Description of Weapons" edited more than ten years later, in which the flintlock pistol (called the self-generated fire pistol in the book) was introduced for the first time.

Now, with the introduction of Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua, and the emperor's appreciation and promotion, Bi Maokang gave up politics and worked, and made a flintlock musket more than ten years in advance, which can be recorded in history.

Zhu Youxiao laughed, did not hide his happy mood, and said: "After that, there will be a will, Sun Qing, Bi Qing and go back and wait." ”

After Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang thanked him again, they retired.

Yes! Zhu Youxiao waved his fist vigorously, flintlock pistol and bayonet, leading nearly a hundred years! Donglu and Jiannu, what are you going to do with me?

The Emperor excitedly got up from his seat and paced back and forth in the hall.

This was followed by mass production and equipping, which, together with paper-shelled ammunition, was said to be able to reach a rate of five rounds a minute by a well-trained soldier.

Uh-huh! The armament of flintlock pistols also means a change in tactics, and the army needs to be retrained and adapted.

Moreover, on days that are not particularly heavy in rain and snow, the flintlock pistol can be used as usual. This undoubtedly strengthened the infantry's field capability, and the great counteroffensive also had a basis for victory.

In the past year, Zhu Youxiao estimated the time required for manufacturing, equipment, and training, as well as the scale of field artillery manufacturing, and set a new timetable.

Have a good year! Zhu Youxiao looked forward to it in his heart, and felt that he had done his best to prepare.

Ning Yuan and Juehua don't have to worry too much, the fortress and the Hongyi cannon, Jiannu are coming, it depends on how many people can be killed.

The headquarters of Dongjiang Town is also basically safe, and it is a big deal to temporarily abandon the land of Tuntian on land and withdraw to the island, what can Jiannu do?

Only the newly recovered Luda is something that Zhu Youxiao can't rest assured. To this end, he transferred a batch of artillery and sent artillery officers who had graduated from martial arts to strengthen the defense force in the brigade area.

Although they are all old artillery, such as the Franc machine, the Tiger Squat Cannon, etc., they are still powerful and will play a great role in the defense of positions.

As for the Hongyi cannon, in addition to Ning Yuan's additional more than a dozen, Zhu Youxiao will not be drawn to the army for the time being, but will go all out to supply the naval division and coastal fortresses.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao also asked Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan to prepare for reinforcements of the brigade and continued to deliver grain, grass and ammunition to the brigade area.

It should be no problem, it will definitely be able to hold on, and Jiannu can't afford to suffer such a big casualty.

Zhu Youxiao repeatedly cheered himself up and strengthened his confidence.

Don't say it, it works. When the emperor fiddled with the flintlock pistol again, he was in a good mood again and laughed heartily.

You should go out and get a few shots, right? Zhu Youxiao walked to the door with a flintlock pistol, and before he could make a final decision, the shovel officer hurriedly entered.

"Emperor, the slave didn't find the white lady." The girl hurriedly gave a salute and anxiously told the emperor.

Didn't find it? Could it be that Ye Hei's stinky and shameless one, relying on his stubborn persistence, abducted my family's white lady?

Zhu Youxiao felt that it was also a good choice to practice marksmanship with Ye Hei. But when he frowned and finished thinking about it, he looked up at the "shovel officer", but he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.

Regardless of it, Ye Ye Ye is white, there is such a guy in the palace, you let the White Lady have no choice!
