Bi Maokang took off a flintlock rifle casually, and the Jinyiwei on one side immediately became alert.

Chongzhen: "Everyone retreated."

Bi Maokang started filling the ammunition very skillfully, and after about 20 seconds of filling, he finished shooting at the bull's eye in front.

With a bang, the bullet hit the bullseye, punching the bullseye a hole.

Bi Maokang said: "According to the latest measurement scales issued by National Peking University, the effective range of this gun is about 70 meters. I have conducted hundreds of tests. Once the enemy's position exceeds 70 meters, the lethality will be greatly reduced."

What are the data of traditional bird guns in the Ming Dynasty?

Length: 2 meters

Effective range: about 50 meters.

Rate of fire: You can shoot one or two times in about one minute.

In this way, the advantages of flintlock rifles are about two points: one is the range and the other is the rate of fire.

Does the extra 20 meters of shooting range matter?

Very important!

When the cavalry charges, they can only shoot at 70 meters. At this time, every meter is related to life and death.

But the most important thing is the rate of fire!

The flintlock can shoot 2 to 3 shots per minute, while the limit for the flintlock gun like the bird gun is twice a minute. This is the ideal situation and most people cannot do it.

What's more, the corruption in the late Ming Dynasty and the quality of bird guns was greatly reduced.

Bi Maokang fired a flintlock rifle at any time, and he also shot it without any problems.

Then, the Jinyiwei immediately helped him get ten pieces, all of which were fine.

Bi Maokang said: "Compared with bird guns, new muskets are not suitable for moisture, the firing time is shorter, and there is no need to press them with your hands, making it easier to use."

"Okay! Very good!" Chongzhen was in a good mood, "Li Aiqing."

Li Banghua said: "I am here!"

"How many troops do the Beijing Guards have now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, the Beijing Guards currently have a total number of 100,000!"

"Since that's the case, the Tianwu Guard (Murderer) has increased to 20,000!"

"yes!"

"Let's go and take me to see the artillery."

"Please, Your Majesty."

Soon, everyone came to another place.

The cannons were neatly placed inside, and they were all red cannons.

On the other side, wooden boxes were neatly placed, all filled with ammunition.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Your Majesty, these red cannons are all imitated according to the ten cannons in the capital, just like those in Ningyuan City."

"What is the current configuration?" Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said: "There are thirty quotas for the Beijing Guards."

"Too few, too few, it's increased to fifty doors!"

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the cost of manufacturing a red cannon is as high as 2,000 taels."

50 red cannons cost 100,000 taels.

This is just the cost of the Red Cannon itself, what about the shells?

You know, if a shell is shot out, it will be gone.

The shells were built continuously.

Moreover, each artillery also needs to be equipped with a gunner, some special firearms, some special direction adjustments, and some special transportation and storage of shells.

All these are money!

The so-called "A cannon fires and a thousand taels of gold are definitely not false words.

Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, even if you follow this configuration, you don't have to worry about money."

So many princes are for me, and I will slaughter them one by one. After slaughtering, I will go to Nanzhili and Zhejiang Province to grab money, and then rob the money of the landlords and gentry in the world. Is it enough?

Moreover, once this royal bill is really done, can the government debt be issued?

All mountains, rivers and rivers were nationalized, selling land, selling mountains and reforming commercial taxes.

Moreover, if silver notes are really popular, they can increase their economic growth, instead of being inverted and playing with the stock market as they are now.

So, as long as the army can really be built, money is not a problem!

Both sides complement each other!

Since the emperor has made bold statements, everyone will not say anything more.

"Where is the armor?"

"Please please, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi said.

Everyone came to another place.

Here, armor, spear, sword and shield are neatly arranged.

There are heavy armor, face armor, sabers, shields and pencil sharpeners.

Some are rationed to cavalry, and some are rationed to heavy infantry.

There are also crossbow arrows.

After reading it, Chongzhen felt that he usually got up.

"How is the war horse now?"

Li Banghua said: "Report to Your Majesty, there are 60,000 war horses now."

I did not continue to stay in the manufacturing bureau, nor did I care about the manufacturing of light industrial commodities.

The emperor immediately returned to the palace and met with Sun Chengzong alone.

"Heavy cavalry, light cavalry, heavy infantry, crossbow archers, musketeers, artillery battalions, all of them were arranged and sorted out clearly in the past two months. At the end of April, a 30,000 Beijing Guards were transferred to Jinzhou."

Sun Chengzong said: "The position of the Beijing Guards is to guard the capital, I am worried..."

Some time ago, the emperor just ordered the reinforcement of 80,000 troops in Liaodong. Where did these 80,000 troops come?

Of course it is a border army.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had to give 30,000 yuan to the head of the Beijing Guards.

"The army is to take it out for training, and a strong army is fought in war!"

"Your Majesty is wise! I will receive the order!"

"In addition, we quickly mobilize 10,000 stones of grain and grass to stock up in Gubeikou, and transfer 20,000 Beijing Guards to Gubeikou. Once the fight within Kalaqin starts, we will wait for an opportunity to move, but who is better to send over there?"

Sun Chengzong said: "If this is the case, the old minister thinks it is more appropriate to send Sun Chuanting?"

"What do you say about this?"

"Lu Xiangsheng is brave and tough, and has less patience. Sun Chuanting has a firm and steady personality. The old minister has talked with him several times. This person's victory in fighting the war is in a strange plan. The Kalaqin tribe is now in civil strife. What is more important for us is to seize the opportunity. Sun Chuanting is better at this."

Chongzhen couldn't help but nodded, and Old Man Sun's eyes were indeed fierce.

No wonder he is proficient in strategy and knowledgeable people.

"Sun Chuanting went to Gubeikou, and Hong Chengchou went to Zhangjiakou."

Sun Chengzong was slightly shocked. Hong Chengchou went to Zhangjiakou. It seemed that the emperor was still not very relieved. After all, it was the first time to lead troops to fight, so Hong Chengchou was able to support him from the left.

"yes!"

But this time, the Beijing Guards were all out. If the battle was not going well, the Beijing Guards that had been trained over the past year would be in vain.

Once the war between the Beijing Guards is broken, the Privy Council can basically be removed.

"Go!"

After Sun Chengzong stepped back, Zhang Chen's pressure suddenly came.

Of course he knew what the situation would be like if the Beijing Guards were not fought well.

However, now the external situation has changed suddenly. At a critical moment, it is impossible to sit idly by. If Huang Taiji incorporated the Kalaqin tribe, the consequences will be unimaginable.

And the border troops in Jizhen are unreliable again.

Therefore, even if all the Beijing Guards are suppressed, they will still fight this battle.

There is nothing foolproof, and there is no perfect thing to set off again.
