Isn't that difficult?

In particular, the officials heard that the previous cannon was called the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the Golden Gun was not defeated.

Does the name sound like words?

That's not like words at all, although everyone is a reader, but everyone wants face.

Especially some old pedants of the Donglin Party, when they heard the name of the previous artillery, they directly crooked their noses.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao himself also felt that the name of the cannon before was a bit rash, and now he had defeated Jianluo, and he was thinking about becoming an emperor through the ages, and the previous emperor of the Apocalypse, the golden gun was not defeated, and the cannon could be regarded as a black spot in his emperor's career.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to take the safest approach.

Seeing him in the limelight, he said: "Since this rifle has the Apocalypse Type 1 Rifle, the Apocalypse Type 2 Rifle, and the Apocalypse Type 3 Rifle, then this artillery is simply called the Apocalypse Type 2 Artillery!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of the civil and military officials present looked much better.

They really don't want Zhu Youxiao to have another name as shameful as the Apocalypse, the emperor's golden gun does not fall over, as officials of the Ming Dynasty, they really can't afford to lose this face.

After Sun Yuanhua heard Zhu Youxiao's name, the tension on his face was a little less, and he naturally had his grievances.

In the past, when people heard the strange name of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, they were extremely uncomfortable, but they were not good at insulting Zhu Youxiao in front of or behind their backs.

After all, they insulted His Majesty behind his back and spread it out, and the eunuchs knew about it, and they said that they were going to cut off his head.

Therefore, they can only blame Sun Yuanhua behind his back, thinking that as a scholar, he did not see the obligation to persuade His Majesty.

This Sun Yuanhua is also aggrieved.

Your Majesty, where can he persuade you?

Now he is like breaking away from a thousand-pound chain, it is the eagle striking the sky, the fish into the sea, and there is no restraint.

He actually praised him from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty, the name of this artillery is very good. ”

"As soon as this name came out, I knew that this cannon was in the same vein as the previous Emperor of the Apocalypse's Golden Gun."

"At the same time, the previous Emperor of the Apocalypse did not fall with his golden gun, and he had already made a great reputation, and even the Jiannu who crisscrossed Liaodong was defeated by this artillery, and His Majesty gave such a name to this new artillery, which is enough to scare the courage of those thieves."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Sun Yuanhua meaningfully, why did the other party have such a statement and such a performance, he knew very well in his heart.

He has a bad taste, that is, he would rather be unhappy than make others unhappy, the previous name was a little shameful, but Zhu Youxiao felt that he could bear it.

"What Sun Shilang said is also very reasonable, this artillery and the Emperor of the Apocalypse's golden gun are not defeated, and they are in the same vein."

"Now this artillery is just a simple name of the Apocalypse II artillery, I'm afraid it's a little bit unsophisticated, not enough to show its majesty."

"In that case, then I still choose to change the name of this artillery, what Apocalypse II artillery is not necessary, or call it Apocalypse II Golden Gun without falling cannon."

Sun Yuanhua was completely stunned, he didn't expect him to do it for so long, and he would make such a whole play, so that he fell into this embarrassing situation again.

If he could, he really wanted to be in front of Zhu Youxiao now. , smacked himself a few mouths hard, and made himself cheap.

Other ministers can also understand Sun Yuanhua's helplessness, and at the same time, they also understand that His Majesty is deliberately playing tricks on Sun Yuanhua.

Although Sun Yuanhua is a little helpless, everyone is still a little envious of His Majesty, but they are not willing to joke with anyone and tease each other, which proves that Sun Yuanhua is still His Majesty's favorite minister.

Sun Yuanhua over there felt aggrieved and wanted to continue talking, but unfortunately, Zhu Youxiao was already a little bored, and even a little impatient.

"Sun Shilan's things have been decided, there is no need to say it again, no matter what you say, I will not change my mind, you don't let me find someone to smoke you."

"Let's just talk about it, what kind of regulations are there for the manufacture of muskets and artillery, now the Ming Dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles, I don't know how many rebellious ministers and thieves, border barbarians are waiting, waiting for me to harvest their heads."

When Zhu Youxiao said this, Huang Taiji and Lin Danhan over there felt a little uncomfortable, but they didn't dare to say anything.

I only heard that although Sun Yuanhua was aggrieved in his heart, Zhu Youxiao's words had already been said, and he couldn't continue to entangle, otherwise he wouldn't know each other.

He could only say pitifully: "Your Majesty, after using new technology for this musket and artillery, it is a little more difficult to operate than before. ”

"Even if we stop the previous manufacturing of the Apocalypse Type 1 Rifle, the Apocalypse Type 2 Rifle, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse Type 1 Golden Gun Undefeated Cannon, then we can only make more than 2,000 Apocalypse Type 3 rifles every month, as well as eight artillery pieces."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, although the scale of the arsenal is very large, but now the output reported by Sun Yuanhua has exceeded his imagination.

After all, it has not yet entered the industrial age, and it is not so easy for them to make guns, a large number of processes need to be manually polished, and the efficiency of hydraulic lathes is relatively low.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, this arsenal is really like a gold-swallowing beast, and now it's time to throw silver into it.

He also knew that Sun Yuanhua and these people could be said to have achieved the extreme, so if he wanted to continue to expand the production of muskets and artillery, the only choice was to continue to invest money in it.

"In that case, let's continue to expand the scale, first of all, you hand over all the processes that will not be leaked, and ordinary craftsmen can do it, and even things like drilling and loading the barrel can be handed over."

Sun Yuanhua bowed his head.

In fact, he already knew very well in his heart that their current method of drilling gun barrels was fundamentally the same as the previous method of drilling fire barrels by the Ming army, but they used a new type of hydraulic lathe.

And the most important thing about their current arsenal is their steel manufacturing technology, and his production methods of nitrocellulose and nitrifying explosives.

Everything else can be said to be unimportant, or not important enough.

The reason why their new muskets can shoot so far when they can be lifted up by one person is because they use a new type of steel forging technology.

At the same time, no matter how powerful the musket is, if there is no bullet, it is a burning stick, Zhu Youxiao's rifle is very powerful, but the nitrocell in their bullets and the casting technology of thunder mercury are all under control, and they are not afraid of being given their muskets by others.

Because in the end, they have to get bullets from them, otherwise if they want to study this nitrocellulose and thundermercury by themselves, they can't study it for at least a hundred years.

Zhu Youxiao motioned for the other party to stand up and continued: "However, the scale of this arsenal still needs to continue to expand, more than 2,000 guns a month. ”

"It will take a full ten years to equip all my 200,000 troops with this new type of rifle."

"Where do I have ten years to waste on this?"

"I will allocate you another 10 million taels of silver, and you can expand this arsenal for this atom."

"You told me that there are nearly 100,000 people in this arsenal now, but even if you expand it to 300,000 or 400,000, then it will be fine, and I can recruit more craftsmen for you."

"The reason why I do so much, all I need is that you can produce 17,000 guns a month, which is the minimum requirement for me."

"If you don't have enough money, you can come to me and ask for it, but you have to tell the cubs below that I am paying them a very high amount now, enough to feed their families."

"Not to mention, when the matter is done, I can still give them a promotion and give them a reward, and they can be said to have a limitless future."

"But I've said this ugly thing in front of me, if they dare to reach out and make money, and reduce the quality of my rifles, and reduce the quality of my artillery, then they will have to lose their heads."

Even after Sun Yuanhua heard this, his neck shrank.

He knew that Zhu Youxiao had never been joking when he said that he was murdering.

Over the years, Zhu Youxiao has personally executed tens of thousands of people, and even almost ran to 100,000 people, plus the guards killed on the battlefield, I am afraid that it has exceeded 100,000 people.

Therefore, he naturally did not believe Zhu Youxiao, so he did not dare to kill more officials.

Zhu Youxiao directly allocated 10 million taels of silver, and demanded that Sun Yuanhua must produce 10,000 muskets per month and 15,200 guns every year, no matter what the price is.

The officials present were stunned, they had not heard of such a large amount of silver taels for a long time.

They only felt that although the Guards established by His Majesty could fight, the equipment was too expensive.

Zhu Youxiao established the original 30,000 guards, and he didn't know how many silver taels he threw into it.

If you count the establishment of the arsenal, plus the armor, horses, muskets, and artillery of these soldiers, as well as the salaries of the soldiers behind them, then millions of taels of atoms must have been invested.

If these silver taels were used to support the ordinary Ming Dynasty army, it was estimated that they would be able to support two or three hundred thousand people.

For example, before the army in Liaodong was served by Zhu Youxiao, the imperial court could allocate one or two hundred taels of silver to the two or three hundred thousand troops in Liaodong every year, which could be regarded as the generals of Liaodong burning incense.

But then again, the guards established by Zhu Youxiao really responded to the old saying, the soldiers are good but not many.

Although the army in Liaodong is seriously fed with empty salaries, there are still two or three hundred thousand people in the name, and they have fought with Jiannu for so many years, and they have never fought such a hearty battle as Zhu Youxiao.

So what else is there to say, it's just that some of the ministers of the Donglin Party present, and some generals who are good friends with the Donglin Party, and even the generals who were born in the Donglin Party, can't help but think in their hearts.

One of the generals was Hong Chengtao, who was born in the Donglin Party, and originally he was also scoffed at the news that Zhu Youxiao had defeated Jiannu outside Xifengkou.

He is considered to be one of the more capable generals from the Donglin Party, although he was born as a scholar, he has made a lot of contributions to the suppression of the rebels in Shaanxi, and even Zhu Youxiao has rewarded him many times.

But when he came to the capital, he found that there were some situations, to his surprise, Zhu Youxiao not only really defeated Jiannu, but even arrested Huang Taiji, and it was not his turn to disagree.

Although he had to admit in his heart that His Majesty's defeat of Jiannu was real, he never understood one thing, how Zhu Youxiao defeated Jiannu with more than 30,000 new troops who had not even fought a battle.

Could it be that Huang Taiji did something stupid and was directly caught by Zhu Youxiao for his shortcomings?

But after thinking about it, it is unlikely that the generals of Jiannu are still very capable, and there are almost no opponents in the Liaodong and Mongolian tribes.

Knowing that today he finally knew what Zhu Youxiao used to defeat Jiannu, relying on these sharp muskets and artillery.

He thought that he was also very capable of fighting, and he also brought one out of Shaanxi, and he thought that he was very capable of fighting a strong army, but he was fair to say that if his so-called strong army faced an army equipped with such muskets and artillery, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.

That's why he hid these muskets and cannons very much, and if His Majesty could leak a little bit from the bottom of his hands, it would be enough for them to eat.

According to Zhu Youxiao's statement, after the expansion of this arsenal, 18,000 new rifles will be produced in a month, and it is not a big deal to give him a few thousand.

But there is a place in Hongcheng Taochi that there is no way to figure out, that is, he has made a lot of contributions in Shaanxi and defeated a lot of rebels, and Zhu Youxiao will also reward him, promote him, and reward him with gold and silver treasures after he has made contributions, but he always feels that Zhu Youxiao is a little alienated from him.

At first, he thought it was just because he was from the Donglin Party, and Zhu Youxiao happened to be known to dislike the Donglin Party, but he slowly found that this situation was also a little wrong.

It seems that Zhu Youxiao doesn't like him, but he simply doesn't like him, not for other reasons.

He actually didn't know that the reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't like him was because in the original history, he honestly became a second or five boy and betrayed the great cause of the Ming Dynasty.

Although he hasn't done such a thing now, there has always been such a pimple in Zhu Youxiao's heart, and he can't feel it.

But fortunately, although Zhu Youxiao doesn't like him very much, he will not be biased against him in doing things.

As long as he can fight, he can do things for the Ming court, as long as he has made meritorious contributions and has filial piety, he will still be promoted and rewarded with gold and silver treasures.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
