As the end of the year approaches, and the New Year is about to be updated, Nanjing City is becoming much more festive. Many opera troupes from all over the country rushed in at this time, and the drums and drums were very lively. Zhu Yunwen was not interested in this. He used to be a flirtatious person and only liked to listen to crosstalk in Quyi.

Xu Huizu left Beijing at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. Zhu Yunwen brought all civil and military officials to deliver it personally. Thousands of copies of the mansion newspaper were sent to various parts of the country. It was also considered to be a creation of momentum and avoid rumors from the world. Tie Xuan also specially found Zhu Yunwen for this. The new army had been practicing for more than three months, and his spirit had improved a lot in all aspects. Comrade Tie hoped to be pulled to the front line and give it a try.

"No rush."

Zhu Yunwen met Tie Xuan in Yuheng. Speaking of Yuheng, everyone may not be familiar with Yuheng. Yuheng is under the Ministry of Works and the main unit under the jurisdiction is the Military Weapon Bureau. The military war situation under the Yuheng Bureau and the Imperial Front Department is the Arsenal of the Daming Firearms.

Since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the establishment of the military war bureau was abolished, and the parts responsible for cold weapons manufacturing in the military war bureau were dismantled and merged, and it was still under the jurisdiction of the military weapons bureau of Yuheng. The parts of the firearm manufacturing in the two bureaus were merged, and a new yamen was established, called the Firearm Bureau, and it was added to the General Staff Office.

The muskets in the early Ming Dynasty were very long, nearly four feet, or about one meter and two meters long, similar to the Mauser rifles of later generations. However, what Zhu Yunwen did not expect was that the muskets of the Ming Dynasty in this era could be fired continuously!

In Hongwu 26, the Military Weapons Bureau developed a musket that could support three consecutive firings. However, because the protection technology is not mature and easy to explode, it is not equipped to use it. It was not until this year that it improved this technology. Zhu Yunwen tried it once. It felt very poor and its power was not very good. He could penetrate cotton armor within fifty steps. After this distance, there was only a few killings.

Despite this, Zhu Yunwen was still very happy and named the musket: "Next year will produce large-scale forces and arm the new military Shenji Camp. Next year is the first year of Jianwen, so it's called Jianwen-style muskets."

The reason for Yuhengsi was mainly because Zhu Yunwen sent Yuhengsi to create a companion for Jianwen-style muskets.

bayonet!

Because the steelmaking technology in this era is far from reaching the level of later generations, officials of Yu Hengsi made modifications to the original drawings designed by Zhu Yunwen and transformed the bayonet into a sling, that is, a triangular spear, which strengthened the stability of the structure.

Musketeers have a special status in the Ming army. In terms of long-range output ability, they are not as good as crossbowmen, and in terms of melee output ability, they are not as good as traditional infantry and cavalry, so they have always been useless.

However, during the training of the new army, because Zhu Yunwen's instructions were instructed, musketeers accounted for a large part, with nearly 260,000 troops, and musketeers accounted for a total of 100,000.

Because of this, Tie Xuan almost resigned from Zhu Yunwen. All the traditional spear soldiers were adapted into musketeers, and their melee ability was cut off at least half. Zhu Yunwen pulled him to Yuhengsi today with the goal of filling this gap for him.

"The new army naturally has the opportunity to go to the battlefield, but now is not the time. I went to see it a few days ago. In terms of military appearance, my spirit is still acceptable. I have a few points of what I want to see, but there is still some gap. Wait until the spring begins, I will ask you to go to Beidi to train and take a walk, and it will be almost done when you see the blood and come back."

Zhu Yunwen picked up a bayonet, looked at it a few times before reaching out, "Go and get a musket."

Shuangxi, who was standing aside, responded and trotted and took off a new musket from the wall. The biggest difference between the new musket and the previous musket was that it added a hind limb similar to a buttstock. This was not to relieve recoil, but to add a curvature to the gun body. The original musket was like a long stick, thick in front and narrow in the back, and it was not suitable for stabbing in the hand. The modified musket, except for the hoop grooves used for bayonets under the barrel, was the extension of the tail, which was nearly 1.5 meters in length. After the bayonet was put on, the length extended to nearly 1.7 meters.

Zhu Yunwen added the bayonet and held it in his hand to imitate the bayonet posture of later soldiers. He stabbed the void twice. He was very satisfied and handed it to Tie Xuan, "Come and try it."

Tie Xuan understood when he saw it. He was so itchy at this time, but he still didn't dare to take over. "I dare not."

The emperor's dying crime is a death sentence. If you are not careful and are injured and shocked, that's all.

Shuangxi was clever. There was a wooden bayonet mold in Yu Hengsi, so he took it over and replaced the steel spikes. He checked that there were no bullets in the musket. Then Tie Xuan felt at ease and held it in his hand. He thought about dancing a gun flower, but he couldn't even play it.

Zhu Yunwen saw his awkwardness and laughed at him, "Wrong, wrong."

Tie Xuan really used this thing as a spear. When he saw that Zhu Yunwen was not satisfied, he was uncomfortable when he played it. So he followed Zhu Yunwen's previous method and stabbed it a few times in the air. After turning around, he said, "Your Majesty, is this thing that simple?"

Zhu Yunwen nodded, "It's that simple. Don't think about playing with the power of the flower. If you can practice this skill of thorns, it's enough to get it on the battlefield."

"When the close forces are fighting, it's not like street skills and fighting so well. When the muskets are all equipped with one shot, you can just practice this thorn. Find some people to build a wooden formation in the camp to practice. When fighting, you can thrust them and point directly at the throat, and then the white knife goes into the red knife."

Zhu Yunwen played for a while, and he stopped until he felt a little sweat on his body. "Do you still remember the linear tactical style I mentioned before?"

Tie Hyun nodded, "I remember everything."

Zhu Yunwen walked out of Yuhengsi while wiping his face, "This is all the gifts I prepared for those Mongolians. After two years, after creating hundreds of cannons, you will know that the invincible Mongolian cavalry that year, in addition to horse sabers and arrows, as well as goat milk and strong wine, in addition to killing and falling, they are also good at singing and dancing."

Mongols can still sing and dance?

Tie Xuan could not imagine a group of seven-foot men who were eating raw meat and drinking blood and dancing. He had no nerve to ask, so he lowered his head and followed Zhu Yunwen.

"The two armies face off, the cavalry is protecting on both wings. The front army sets our musket battalion and sets up artillery battalion behind them. The enemy will first risk the overwhelming artillery shells. When they rush into a hundred steps, they will also hit the rain of bullets that cannot be avoided. A distance of one hundred steps, there is no problem for the musket battalion to fight for a round. The first row will first strike, and after the second row will then strike. When the third row finishes, the enemy cavalry that finally rushed in will crash into the idle camp position. Hundreds of iron cast cannons are movable city walls. The enemy will be curbed by the sprinting ability of war horses. The cavalry that cannot run is a living target. Our musket battalion will be equipped with bayonets, just penetrate the gourd in the idle formation."

Zhu Yunwen said the more he was, "I also designed a helmet, with the eaves of the helmets lengthened. At that time, the army was wearing mail. Although I dare not say it was 100% protected, the threat of the enemy cavalry was enough to be minimized. They could not hit us at long range. If they wanted to create a threat, they would have to pay at least more than half of the casualties before they could get close. Once they entered the artillery formation and the cavalry on both wings surrounded it, it would be completely wiped out."

Tie Xuan was stunned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, this kind of fighting style is good. The whole army wears iron helmets and chain mail, and the lowest cost is more than three times that of now."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand indifferently, "Relying on my war to fight, it means fighting the national strength, economy, and relying on human life to pile up. Do you know what poor equipment is? We must crush them from equipment. My ideal war is to annihilate 100,000 enemies and lose no more than 3,000 of them."

The US military attacked Iraq, but before it landed, it fired thousands of Tomahawk missiles in one day to wash the floor, and led the way for US$500 million to 600 million a day, destroying the country in one week, and it has no casualties. I heard that there were many eardrum perforations caused by cannons, which doesn't count.

As for the guerrilla warfare that fell into the vast ocean of Iraqi people after landing, thousands of deaths were inevitable.

At this time, when the Ming Dynasty attacked Mongolia, did you have this ability?

In Zhu Yunwen's eyes, there is, and the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is ridiculous. Hongwu and Yongle were the most prosperous in the early Ming Dynasty. Although there were the Renxuan rule and the Hongzhi revival, it was just a downward trend. Whether it was money, grain, taxes, or the quality and quantity of the army, the Hongwu Dynasty had at least five Chongzhen dynasties!

You can say it's ridiculous or not.

The people were standing still, but the Ming Dynasty was so good that they walked away for more than two hundred years.

Zhu Yunwen has this confidence that once the new army is trained and the artillery battalion is formed, he can enjoy the passionate and heroic dance of the Mongolian girl in the Onon River!
