Half an hour later, the shooting assessment was over, and all the students entered the classroom to sit down and waited for the theoretical exam.

Xu Mingwu was sleepy and came slowly while yawning, looking very arrogant.

Teacher Feng at the door recognized him and pointed at him and shouted: "What are you doing when you are slow? Come in quickly! Isn't it just a full ring? There is more than you who have a full ring! Give me some energy and take a good exam later!"

Anyone else who has a full ring?

Xu Mingwu, who was still full of anger just now, suddenly felt relieved and thought to himself that the Emperor Ming Military Academy was indeed a crouching tiger and a hidden dragon!

When I entered the classroom, no one regarded him as a big shot. Everyone sat in a standard position, and there was not even a person coming up to say hello, as if everyone was a big shot.

After a while, the teacher came with a stack of test papers and sent them to every student.

Xu Mingwu opened the test paper and saw that it was homework on a picture.

The picture shows a river north and south, a sandbank and a highland. There are strong camps on the east and west sides of the river, and the camps extend into the river.

Following the sign on the map, the enemy's navy was anchored on the river surface between the two battalions and could support the left and right.

There are five turrets painted on the high ground, marked as turret No. 1-5 from north to south. The turrets are high and the firepower supports each other, forming a firepower coverage area of ​​several miles wide.

Blue flags were planted on the fort, indicating that it was the Blue Army, including two camps and the navy in the river, all of which were planted with blue flags.

The attacking party was the Red Army that camped on both sides of the Taiwan Straits to confront the Blue Army. Several warships in the river also had red flags, which meant that the Red Army also had water troops.

Obviously, this is a blue guard and red attacking homework!

The picture shows that the Red Army's army is north of the Blue Army, and the water troops are south of the Blue Army, obviously coming from the sea estuary to the south.

Moreover, the Red Army's surface troops were very powerful, and the landing troops consisted of several battleships and laughing gunboats were equipped with various landing equipment.

The attacking Red Army's naval and land army had a total of 8,000 troops, while the defense of the Blue Army had a large army of 50,000. The question was how the Red Army won...

"Damn it, use your weak force to fight six times the enemy you are waiting for? How the hell is this?"

Xu Mingwu's mind was in a mess.

There were rustling writing sounds all around, and the students were all burying their heads to answer the paper. Xu Mingwu frowned and carefully reviewed the questions and analyzed them again.

When he saw that there was an army of war elephants in the Blue Army camp, Xu Mingwu suddenly had an idea and determined that the work battlefield on this picture was in Myanmar, which might be a simulation of the upcoming Ming-Myanmar War!

However, he was worried again. Even if the elite Ming army was in a state of good times and people, it would be very difficult to win with a small force!

First of all, the water surface between the two Myanmar battalions was turbulent and there were sandbanks, so the Ming warships could not advance at all.

If the Ming army attacked the Burmese camps on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, the artillery on the Burmese high ground would cross-attack and cooperate with the Burmese army's attack. If the Ming army wanted to take it down, many people would die.

Xu Mingwu thought of the historical Qing-Myanmar War. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the Tartars and Qing dynasties fought a war with Myanmar for several years.

However, Xu Mingwu did not get feasible experience from this war because the battle was so tragic!

First, the counselor Zhu Lunne committed suicide without support. Then General Hu Dayou, Hu Bangyou and others were defeated and killed in battle. Many people under the Taoist government were captured, and the rest of the Qing army fled back to Yunnan.

Later, Wang Yuzhu, the general of the Eight Banners Army, was killed in battle, and even the commander Ming Rui was killed in battle. General Wu Shisheng, deputy general Alicun, and naval admiral Ye Xiangde died of illness one after another. Even Qianlong's brother-in-law Fu Heng was also bedridden.

In the end, both sides were exhausted and were war-weary. Myanmar, which suffered even more heavy losses, wrote a letter to demand a truce.

The commander of the Qing army, Fu Heng, stopped when he saw that he was good, and wrote a letter to fool his brother-in-law Qianlong and our army suffered heavy losses and could not fight any more. In the end, Qianlong agreed to a truce. The two sides negotiated and agreed to give each other gifts, and formally truce. Myanmar, which could not be defeated, once again paid tribute to the Qing Dynasty.

It is useless to cheat by relying on history, so Xu Mingwu had to think about good strategies on his own, how to fight this war beautifully!

After a moment, he thought about it, picked up the pen, read the test paper roughly again, and wrote the pen, writing wherever he thought.

Just a quarter of an hour, Xu Mingwu got up and walked to the door with the papers in hand, and handed them to the invigilator: "Teacher Feng, I'll hand over the papers!"

"So fast?"

Teacher Feng looked surprised. The prescribed time for this exam was half an hour, and Xu Mingwu completed it in only one-quarter of the time?

"Teacher Feng, it's almost enough. I don't want to get the full mark."

Xu Mingwu said, the man had already walked out of the classroom.

As soon as I walked five or six steps, I heard a scream behind me: "Wait!"

Xu Mingwu was so shocked that he staggered. When he looked back, Teacher Feng chased out with the test paper, pointing at the test paper, looking incredible: "Are you sure you want to hand over the paper?"

"Of course I'm sure. I've completed the exam and signed it!" Xu Mingwu said as he walked.

Teacher Feng held him back and whispered: "Xu Mingwu, you have to know that your brother Teacher Xu is not in the yard. If you fail this exam this time, you may be expelled..."

Xu Mingwu was very confident in his answer, so he turned around and smiled: "I know, thank you for your reminder!"

.........

Xu Mingwu did not go to the dormitory, but ran to the ammunition weapon depot and the armouring courtyard in the north. He wanted to do something big!

He discovered the shortcomings of Wu Shi rifle from the shooting assessment. Xu Mingwu decided to improve the rifle's bullets and replace them with metal, so that it would become a real cross-age weapon and give it a face for the Pingyang Hou Mansion!

Bullets are composed of warheads, shells and bottom fires. The shells are filled with gunpowder. When firing, the striker hits the bottom fires, ignites the gunpowder, and produces gas pushing the warheads.

When performing the next shot, you need to manually pull the bolt and pull the shell and load the bullet.

At present, the Wu Shi rifle in the Ming army uses paper shells, which is obviously inconvenient to pull the shells, and it is impossible to carry out the next shot smoothly, and even get stuck.

The material of the bullet is directly related to whether the shell is drawn smoothly. The bullet materials in later generations are basically made of copper, because the copper is soft, easy to process, has strong self-lubricity, and the shell is pulled smoothly.

Xu Mingwu knew that China had few copper reserves since ancient times. After the founding of New China, in order to avoid being controlled by others, my country began to develop steel bullets and paint and plaster copper on the steel shell, which perfectly solved this point.

Perhaps it was because of the small amount of copper ore resources that the Ming Dynasty never used copper shells to replace paper shells, or the technology was not good.

The mechanics in the Huangming Military Academy also also has the R&D work in the hospital. However, the military academy mainly focuses on learning military strategies, and basically no one is interested in this kind of military research. The R&D projects of the mechanics in the Iron Academy are basically abandoned, and only a few military craftsmen are idle playing chess and spending time, and occasionally repairing firearms.
