"Your Majesty!"

Zhu Gaoyi had just finished communicating with Yang Shiqi in the imperial study, and he saw Su Wu on the way back.

"Su Wu, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something big going on?"

"Ha, don't think about it, what's the big deal, it's just that Weichen didn't find you in the palace, so Weichen guessed that you should have come back from the imperial study just now!"

Zhu Gaoyao nodded.

"Well, you guessed right, I did just come back from there, and from Yang Shiqi, I already learned about what happened in the cabinet recently!"

This Su Wu is eighty percent here to tell himself about the situation in the cabinet today.

"Then in this case, vitamins are here to congratulate Your Majesty, the queen is pregnant with a son, the hospitalized queen mother, the dragon and phoenix are auspicious!"

"The dragon and phoenix are auspicious, the dragon and phoenix fetus, what you think is quite beautiful?"

Zhu Gaoyi was happy in his heart, he also wanted a pair of dragons and phoenixes.

But the probability of this dragon and phoenix fetus is too small and too small.

"Then I will borrow your auspicious words, if the queen really gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, then I will reward you with thousands of acres of fertile land!"

"Wechen hereby thanked Your Majesty in advance!"

Look at this, it seems that it is really like giving birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and I thank you!

"By the way, I just want to find you for something, come with me!"

Soon after, the two of them came to Zhenghua Palace, which itself was an idle palace, which could be used as a place for Zhu Gaojiao and Su Wu to discuss policies.

"I don't know if Your Majesty called Weichen to come, is there something going on?"

Su Wu saw that Zhu Gaofu drove all his entourage out, closed the door again, and thought to himself, this must be trying to discuss something important with him, and he was afraid that others would know!

"Actually, on the one hand, there has been a preliminary reform of this political system, so I still want to reform this military!"

Reform of the military?

After a brief period of consternation, Su Wu quickly regained his composure.

Yes, according to His Majesty's personality, it is impossible to live idlely, and it is reasonable that the front foot has just undergone drastic changes in industrial politics, and now it is necessary to make a horizontal knife in the military.

It's okay to say that the army in the center is all His Majesty's own people, but the army in this place is not easy to say, and it is now in a sensitive period, so I'm afraid that military reform is a bit inappropriate.

Of course, if Your Majesty has to change it, it is still possible to change the Central Army, especially the five major battalions under Your Majesty.

It's just that according to the grapevine, His Majesty seems to have sent out a certain battalion in his hands to carry out a secret mission. Now they don't know where this unit has gone, and they can't find its whereabouts.

If one of the five battalions is not there, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to want to reform.

Isn't it now that the troops of the central court can't be changed, and the local armies can't be changed?

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter is inappropriate, now the local army and the imperial army are not the best period for reform, and there are internal and external troubles, there must be a strong army to stabilize the national situation!"

Although there is almost no possibility of a large-scale rebellion in the current Ming Dynasty, but not afraid of 10,000, just in case, only by holding the military power and mastering the army, can it play a deterrent role in all parts of the country.

If this time is chosen to change the slight difference and make the military reform deformed, then not only will the deterrent effect on the local area be greatly reduced, but it will even give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of, such as the five-nation alliance army that is now near Liangliangzhou!

"I know what you mean, but I need to use a strong army to expel the Five Nations Alliance in Liangzhou in the coming year, and in a year to two years, I can gather a large army and quickly assault the northern tribes!"

Because in the north, there are a large number of metal mineral resources buried underground, as well as raw materials and fuels necessary for industries such as coal and oil.

Although the coal mines in Shanxi are enough to maintain the operation of Daming for hundreds of years, there is an extreme shortage of oil in Daming now!

"Sooner or later, I will fight in the Middle East!"

"The Middle East? What's that?"

Chatting and chatting, Zhu Gaoyi's inexplicable sentence made Su Wu puzzled.

But His Majesty has not done this once or twice, so Su Wu automatically skipped this sentence and continued to say it before.

"Your Majesty, it's completely possible, there is no need to rush this time, and it is not too late to reform the army after the settlement of the five-nation alliance!"

"No, because I've already thought of a series of new weapons, and after the Ministry of Industry has cast many large devices such as steam engines, trains, railways, etc., I will let them start making this kind of firearm!"

If the emergence of the steam engine is a revolution in productivity, then the emergence of thermal weapons that can be used stably is a huge revolution in military affairs!

"If this kind of firearm is wrong, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, and even fighting 100,000 soldiers with 10,000 soldiers will not be a problem!"

Of course, this is also a high interest rate conservative, if there are 100 soldiers with Gatling on the city walls, even if there are 100,000 people who come to attack the city, what about a million?

Still tortured and killed!

The emergence of such heavy thermal weapons is bound to change the pattern of the world in a short period of time.

However, with the current technology of the Ming Dynasty, it is still possible to make some flintlock pistols and rifles, but the machine gun is still too early for the Ming Dynasty.

The punch rod that withstands the impact, as well as the central barrel, is not something that the current Ming can make.

At most, you can build a few earthen cannons!

"New weapons, 10,000 over 100,000?"

This is too exaggerated, even if Su Wu doesn't understand military affairs, and he wins more with less, you are an indispensable thing at the right time, place, and people, and in the case that the gap in numbers is not too exaggerated.

But 10,000 against 100,000, this is a bit too exaggerated, and His Majesty seems to be saying it in a package!

What exactly is a weapon? It can be so profitable.

If this was what someone else said, then Su Wu must be a hundred people who didn't believe it.

But this came out of His Majesty's mouth, so Su Wu was a little suspicious, after all, His Majesty had done many things that he couldn't understand, but they were mysterious and mysterious!

"Then how much does Your Majesty think that by the beginning of spring next year, how many people can use this new type of weapon, how many people will be able to use it, and how many troops can be equipped?"

There are still three months to go until the beginning of spring, no more, no less.

"If it goes well, we should be able to build more than 3,000 ordinary flintlock guns, thousands to tens of thousands of grenades, and countless bullets!"

Although he hopes to build as much as possible, he doesn't want those people in the Ministry of Industry to become ill because of their decisions! (End of chapter)
