Toyotomi Hideyoshi, after all, was the de facto ruler of Japan, and at the same time a figure who ended the Warring States period, and he had great prestige and power at home.

Although many daimyo were disgruntled, they finally agreed to send troops under his orders.

As a result, eight months after the outbreak of the war, countless large ships left the coast of Japan, loaded with 70,000 Japanese reinforcements, and once again committed to the Korean battlefield.

The investment of the living force has a miraculous effect, after this unit joined, the Japanese offensive was more ferocious, the Korean army almost did not have the slightest field combat ability, although the Ming army could fight, but the number was too small, there were only more than 10,000 people left in the fierce battle for eight months, and the entire Hamgyong Province had to be defended, which was simply not enough to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and for a while, the Korean battlefield once again showed a declining trend.

And the commander of the Ming army, Zu Chengxun, he belongs to the general, not the commander, the current scale of the war has exceeded his ability to control, not to mention the North Korean side, they have not experienced a big war at all, and the handsome talent who wants to show the corresponding strength is even more delusional.

On the contrary, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese army, Ukita Hideie, as the adopted son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, had a certain ability to coordinate the overall situation, and in this situation, the war situation became more and more difficult.

Emperor Wanli also realized this, and he finally threw out his trump card - Li Rusong, the general soldier of Liaodong, who had put down the rebellion in Ningxia before, and was in the limelight for a while, and he was just in the limelight at this time.

At the same time, Wanli also ordered Xu Wei, who was then the governor of Liaodong, to join Li Rusong with 30,000 troops and enter the court as the second batch.

And this is simply a professional counterpart.

Xu Wei, as Yan Yuanmo's staff, also played an important role in the way to pacify the coastal rebellion, so after the pacification of the rebellion, he was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and later transferred to Liaodong.

After all, this is a professional devil fighter.

As a result, the mighty Ming army marched into Korea to prepare for a new round of combat with the Japanese army.

And just when the Korean war was in full swing, there was a pair of eyes in the south, but they were also staring at them tightly.

……

"Bang!"

With the roar of the musket in his hand, Yan Ling's arm shook, and the muzzle of the gun was raised, which showed the great recoil.

"Right between the 5th and 6th Rings!" In the distance, the shouts of soldiers were heard.

This is not very accurate, but the faces of the people present are still full of surprise, and Yan Ling's eyes are also shining with brilliance.

He crossed the barrel of the spear, carefully examined the delicate mechanism, and exclaimed softly:

"Yes, yes! This musket, not bad! ”

This gun finally has a little bit of what he thinks of a modern firearm.

Beside him, a middle-aged man took over the conversation, and said with joy in his voice:

"Ancestral ...... Sir, this new musket is really sharp, and the speed of your ignition just now is far more than that of the arquebus, at least twice as fast! ”

"If this is applied to the army, the battle will be invincible!"

Yan Ling nodded slightly, obviously very satisfied with this musket.

On the other side, when the dean of the Tiangong Academy heard his words, he was obviously stunned and looked a little surprised.

The Tiangong Academy is divided into two departments, one is the second academy, the main base is in the mainland, mainly focusing on industrial and agricultural research, and the first academy is in Luzon, mainly focusing on military research.

And the reason why he was so surprised was very simple - because the middle-aged man standing beside him was the governor of the Luzon Governor's Palace, Yan Shiyi, who had 200,000 troops and ruled the entire Nanyang Islands, almost turning a large area of the sea into an inland sea.

At his level, he also knew some of the connections between the Luzon Governor's Mansion and the mainland, and in his opinion, this was clearly already a prince, to the point that even two princes did not need to be afraid, however, this governor was very respectful to this young man from the Yue Governor's Mansion.

He always knew that this young man who arrived in Luzon a few months ago had a very high status, but he didn't expect that it would be so high that even Yan Shiyi would be so respectful to him!

Who is this man? The dean's heart was full of fear, but he also knew that he must not inquire about the things that could not be inquired, and the water of the family was very deep, so he began to look at his nose and nose.

Yan Ling and Yan Shiyi, who were in front, didn't notice the magnificence in the heart of the dean of Tiangong Academy, and they were still talking.

"Rely on flint to fire...... Simply genius design! Sir, your talent is like the stars in the sky, and we can't see it! Yan Shiyi couldn't put it down and grabbed it, he knew the meaning of this musket too well:

"In this way, the musketeers will no longer be afraid of the wet weather, let alone worry too much about the explosion, and the three-stage fire composed of such a rate of fire will be truly continuous!"

Yan Ling smiled, although he was really not familiar with industrial things such as muskets, but flintlock pistols, as the name suggests, of course, use flintstones.

And this thing, in fact, is a way of thinking, even without him, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty also developed its own self-generated fire, and after he mentioned it, soon a craftsman made this flintlock pistol.

Most of the current equipment of the Luzon army is Rumi guns, which were learned from the Ottoman Empire. This kind of gun has a longer range and greater power than the bird gun in service in Zhiming and Japan, so Yan Ling dared to hand over the replaced arquebus to North Korea for use.

Lu Mi gun, for the current battlefield, is actually enough, but the flintlock pistol is the future after all, that is the way to develop modern firearms, and Lu Mi gun is essentially a heavy arquebus.

Over there, Yan Shiyi was still talking, as the governor who had waged several wars during his tenure, he was very familiar with weapons, and immediately realized that this would change the direction of the war!

"Although the Lumi guns still surpass this flintlock pistol in terms of power and range, their rate of fire alone is enough to make up for it."

"And without worrying about exploding, the soldiers' positions can be more dense, so as to form a denser firepower network!"

"We don't lack flint, sir, this will be an epoch-making invention!"

Looking at the excited Yan Shiyi, Yan Ling also smiled, he turned around and instructed the craftsman behind him:

"The cost of this musket is still higher, and if it can be reduced, it will be reduced as much as possible, and then it will be ready for mass production."

"By the way, for bullets, you and your colleagues cast a mold with a small hole in it, and then use lead to make it, and unify the manufacturing standards, so that soldiers can also cast bullets independently, and the workshop manufacturing is also convenient and regular."

The seemingly honest and honest craftsman was ingenious, he was the inventor of the flintlock pistol, and at this time he had already written down Yan Ling's requirements one by one, and then he would go back and improve them.

"This gun, it's called ......" Yan Ling groaned for a while, smiled and asked the craftsman:

"What's your name?"

The craftsman was flattered: "Adult, small, small is called Tian Xiaode." ”

"Good name, let's call it a filial piety-style flintlock pistol!"
