So much?

The number that Zhu Gaoyi said shocked Su Wu again.

If you can make more than 3,000 pistols in three months, isn't that equivalent to being able to make 1,000 guns in a month?

It only takes one year to form an army of 10,000 people, and it is the kind that randomly tortures and kills 100,000 troops.

Isn't this directly invincible?

By that time, I'm afraid that the railway built by His Majesty will already run through the Western Regions!

This army, with the blessing of the railway, can reach the Western Regions from the capital in one day!

The reason why the previous dynasties, whether they were Sui, Tang, or Yuan, did not include those remote countries in their territory was largely because their geographical location was too far away, and it was difficult for military, political, economic, and cultural to radiate and influence the past.

Even if they are forcibly ambushed and included in the national territory, they will break away at any time for various reasons, and become one extremely unstable factor after another.

Therefore, they can only be divided into pieces, or let them govern themselves, and submit to Middle-earth.

Now with this train, they can even double their territory to the west!

The Yuan Dynasty just fought in the past, and they were even able to control it in a real way!

"So I feel that it is very necessary to form such an army in advance, as long as I wait until the train is manufactured, let Zhang Qixin and them rest for about five days, and I will entrust them to make this new type of weapon - firearms!"

At this time, with the first manufacturing experience, and the separation of some of the craftsmen involved in the manufacture of trains and steam engines, they should be able to reproduce themselves, and by the beginning of spring next year, they should be able to make a second locomotive!

The first column runs east-west, and the second column runs north-south!

When the time comes, the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty will sweep away all obstacles and directly cast an Asian empire!

Well, the island country in the east is not in a hurry, I remember that it won't be long before their widows may come to the coast of Daming, and then surprise them directly!

After all, we can't just attack other people's land, after all, we are peace-loving, but we can't be like some countries!

Like that five-nation coalition army, they have all come to fight our Liangzhou, and we will knock down their capital, is there a problem?

The Japanese in the east came up, seriously disrupting the coastal economy of my Ming Dynasty, and I or my descendants directly took one step, cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, directly divided it into a separate province, and then sent a large number of troops and fleets to be stationed as my Ming Dynasty's Pacific sea base, isn't it fragrant?

For the sake of your country's economic, political and security construction, let's let the Ming army pay a little more, contribute a little more, and be a policeman for you!

You see, our Ming Dynasty not only did not hold you accountable for violating our country's territory, but also helped you to carry out national defense construction and security construction.

Where do you find such a great country?

"So Your Majesty, do you want the five battalions to reorganize, select the elite, and form this firearms unit?"

Su Wu asked tentatively, but Zhu Gaoyi also nodded and shook his head, and he couldn't make up his mind in his heart.

"Although this is planned, I don't want to split the five battalions!"

Although each military camp only has 1 to 20,000 soldiers and horses, it is the elite of the elite, and the troops they form can also be used as one against two and one against three on the battlefield!

Because they are not only veterans of a hundred battles, but also their run-in cooperation has reached an unprecedented height, if they are split and reorganized, their original combat power will be greatly reduced!

I'm afraid it's hard to meet Zhu Gaoyao's expectations for them!

"So, I'm still wondering if I should select a group from the ordinary troops, or directly recruit new soldiers to form this musket unit!"

But in this case, time will not seem too tight.

Not to mention whether the quality of these ordinary soldiers can meet the predetermined requirements, the loyalty of the single round, and the degree of secrecy of the new secret weapon of the musket, are really worrying.

Because the difficulty and requirements of making a simple musket are not high, it only takes a little more testing to make the simplest free-fire gun.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoyao was worried that these weapons would be known to others before they appeared, especially those countries that were hostile to the Ming Dynasty.

"It's okay, but it's hard for us to find so many people who meet the requirements in such a short period of time!"

Therefore, the army of the five battalions still needs to be reorganized!

"If you want to find three thousand soldiers who are loyal to Your Majesty and strong at the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid that you can only draw them from the remaining four battalions!"

"That's all it can be!"

At this time, Zhu Gaoyi seemed to find that he seemed to have a special obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, what was originally strong and intact would not be separated unless it was a last resort!

"Originally, the cavalry battalion was the most suitable for musket troops, but I have already sent him to the north of Liangzhou!"

Xiao Cavalry Battalion, as the name suggests, most of the people in the camp are good at riding, fighting on horseback, and each person is equipped with a good war horse, and the quality of the horse alone is even slightly better than the horses of the Hu people.

It can be said that it is the strongest cavalry in the entire Ming Dynasty and even among all the surrounding countries!

"Your Majesty, did you send them to Liangzhou?"

What are the five major battalions? Those are all brothers who were born and died with His Majesty, and they are Zhu Gao's heart!

How could His Majesty be willing to send the Xiaocai battalion to Liangzhou?

"Well, this is also a helpless move, only the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is good at guerrilla, with the advantage of war horses, try to pull with the enemy to reduce casualties, and it can also play a strong role in interference!"

But even so, after the trip to Liangzhou, the loss to the Xiaocai battalion will be incalculable!

Even, the Xiaocai battalion may be removed from the five major battalions!

"After all, Liangzhou cannot afford to lose, once Liangzhou is lost, it means that my Ming Dynasty will lose absolute control in the Western Regions, and it will also plunge the people of Liangzhou and the surrounding cities into dire straits!"

After breaking through Liangzhou City, what will those Five Nations Alliance forces do? History has already given a clear answer!

Although the Xiaocai camp is precious, with 10,000 living forces, it can save hundreds of thousands or even millions of poor people in Liangzhou City and its surroundings from persecution, and it can be regarded as a place of death.

After all, with the combined strength of Liangzhou and all the surrounding cities, it may not be comparable to one-third of the Five Nations Alliance!

How do they keep it? (End of chapter)
