Chapter 131: Bold Idea, Old Zhu's Shame!
No one knows better than Zhu Yunxi the great significance of rear-loading guns and fixed-loading ammunition.
It's definitely a technology that transcends generations.
Although this is not yet a smokeless powder bullet that has matured in later generations, it can still bring a huge impact on today's era.
The development of technology often depends first and foremost on military technology research.
This is not because there is anything special about military technology research, but because it is possible to see the results and remove resistance by conducting research in this area.
The appearance of rear-loading guns and fixed-loading ammunition, the greater significance, is also here.
It is very difficult to develop and promote technology in Daming.
The constraints of the feudal ritual system are so great that it is difficult for non-insiders to understand.
He now has opened a technical research and manufacturing bureau, which has attracted a lot of criticism.
This is still his pressure as the emperor's grandson.
In the eyes of most people, the so-called Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau is just for him, the imperial grandson, to play.
The reason why they have not yet attacked and resisted on a large scale is because they still think that this is harmless for the time being.
After all, his identity as the emperor's grandson is there, as long as he doesn't play too much, ordinary people won't anger him.
Only the advancement of military technology can make those people shut their mouths.
"How many of these rear-loading guns are there at the moment?" Zhu Yunxi hurriedly asked.
"100 and 10,000 rounds." Xu Miaojin is very clear about this: "The flintlock pistols made before, so far, a total of 400 have been produced. ”
"That's a total of 500 guns." Zhu Yunxi nodded, and a bold plan burst out of his mind.
500 guns is not much, but if the army equipped with 500 guns is deployed to key positions on the front line, it may be able to turn the tide of the war.
Especially when it comes to dealing with small groups of pirates.
The Qi family army formed by Qi Jiguang later totaled more than 4,000 people.
However, through a series of mobile operations, they annihilated one after another, and the total number of enemies destroyed in the end reached as many as 70,000.
The Qi family army only partially used firearms, and then through the cooperation of the military formation, it exerted amazing power.
He used flintlock pistols, rear-loading guns, and fixed-loading ammunition to equip an army of 500 people, and the combat strength should be much higher than that of the Qi family army of 4,000 people.
It's time to test the effectiveness of this time.
He thought in his heart, and was about to leave to see Lao Zhu, when he heard Xu Miaojin say: "That technical research and manufacturing bureau is very interesting, and the things it does are very interesting, and there is no official in charge now, why don't you leave it to me to be in charge?" ”
Zhu Yunxi turned around and saw that the little girl was looking at her, her eyes full of expectation.
"This ......," Zhu Yunxi's mind raced.
Xu Miaojin is not very old, and children's curiosity is often the strongest.
The Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, the things that were designed, researched, and manufactured were all things that Daming did not have before.
For older people, it's a shock.
For young people, it's something that can be quickly accepted.
For teenage children, it is a matter of course.
There is a famous quote in later generations:
Any technology that I was born with is commonplace.
Any technology that comes out between the ages of 15 and 35 is a revolutionary product that will change the world.
Any technology that is born after the age of 35 is against the laws of nature and will be damned.
The older you get, the more stubborn your thinking becomes, the worse your ability to accept new things, and the more you want the world to always follow the same pattern.
While it can't be said to be the case, most people do.
Among the officials of the Ministry of Industry, those who are qualified to be in charge of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau are not young.
Influenced by the feudal ideology of etiquette for a long time, the ideology has long been stereotyped.
Let them be in charge, I am afraid, not only will not promote the development of the Technical Research and Manufacturing Bureau, but will also create obstacles.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, Zhu Yunxi did not appoint a competent official, but personally presided over it.
In contrast, Xu Miaojin is quite suitable.
Although she is still an eleven or twelve-year-old child, it is this age that is the most open-minded, curious, and receptive to new things.
As for her being a girl......
Anyway, the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau, in the eyes of outsiders, is a thing made up by him, the emperor's grandson, who is not doing his job properly and deviantly.
The appointment of a little girl as a supervisor only reinforces this perception.
It doesn't matter anymore.
As the queen of Zhongshan County, when she needs to coordinate with other yamen, she can also bring a lot of convenience.
"Good!" Zhu Yunxi nodded: "That Gu will officially appoint you as the head of the Technology Research and Manufacturing Bureau now." ”
"Really? That's great! Xu Miaojin jumped up happily, clapped her hands and laughed, and cheered.
Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head.
Judging from the ideology of this era, this little girl is so lively and naughty, I am afraid it will be difficult to marry in the future.
I just don't know, why did Zhu Di like her in history?
Is it because of her completely different personality from other women?
Probably.
Zhu Yunxi was not sure.
In this era when the vast majority of girls are dead and dull because they are suppressed by feudal etiquette, Xu Miaojin's cheerful and lively personality will indeed give people a refreshing feeling and leave a deep impression.
Not to mention that she is also very beautiful.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the country is overwhelmed.
Of course.
Maybe her personality will slowly change later.
After all, she is still only an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and she is very malleable.
Zhu Yunxi didn't stay any longer, and immediately went to see Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Grandpa Huang, the plan for the battle, my grandson has already worked out."
Zhu Yunxi presented the policy formulated by Lan Yu.
Lan Yu's plan is not a big problem.
Although the judgment of the main direction of attack of the Japanese invaders was wrong, the imperial court still had to deal with how to dispatch troops.
Zhu Yuanzhang took it.
Zhu Yunxi added: "Sun Er has asked Liangguo Gong to bring 3,000 elites from Yangshan as the striker, and immediately set off to Suzhou to stabilize the hearts of the army and the people." ”
"However, Sun Er believes that the next thing the robbers and thieves will attack is not Suzhou, but Jiaxing Mansion, and then go south to attack Hangzhou."
Lao Zhu raised his head suddenly, with a look of surprise in his eyes, and said, "Tell me in detail." ”
Zhu Yunxi elaborated on Xu Miaojin's analysis before, and said: "Sun Er thinks that the Suzhou Mansion secretly finances the giant merchants and thieves of the Japanese and thieves, and does not want to see them capture Suzhou. ”
"After all, if Suzhou City is really destroyed, their interests will also be damaged."
"Hahaha!" Lao Zhu laughed.
"Xi'er, you discussed military affairs with us before, and we thought you were just talking on paper."
"I can't imagine that you can really make such an accurate judgment, but it coincides with our thoughts."
Lao Zhu was very happy.
"God is not thin on us, you can lift the pen to shock the world, Wu Ke waved the army to determine the country, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you, and we will rest assured."
"Grandpa Huang has an overreputation." Zhu Yunxi hurriedly expressed his humility.
"No reputation, no reputation." Lao Zhu waved his hand and smiled: "When we were as old as you, we didn't have your current ability." ”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the poems written by Zhu Yunxi, and he couldn't write them now.
And the keen judgment of the military situation is not below him.
can see the intentions of the Japanese at a glance, which is an ability that many generals who have been fighting on the battlefield all year round do not necessarily have.
Doesn't that mean that he is inferior to him now?
Lived a lot of age in vain?
Lao Zhu's face turned slightly red.
"How are you going to guard Jiaxing Mansion?" Lao Zhu felt uncomfortable and hurriedly changed the topic.
"The first is to send an urgent order with 800 miles, so that the garrison of Huzhou Mansion will immediately go to Jiaxing to assist in the defense."
"Second." Zhu Yunxi cleared his throat and said, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson has been training the new army for a while, and my grandson plans to select five hundred capable people from the new army and go to Jiaxing in person." ”
"Grandson not only has to defend Jiaxing, but also annihilates the Japanese and anti-thieves!"
As soon as these words fell, Lao Zhu's eyes suddenly released two essences.
