After meeting Liu Wei, Zhu Cilang did not change the place and directly asked Xiao Tugeng to come in.

Xiao Tugeng has been in Anmin Factory for so long and has been training on weekdays. He rarely encountered an emergency situation at night. He just caught two thieves who stole gunpowder. Just such an errand almost died with others. This made Xiao Tugeng feel depressed all day long. After seeing the prince, he felt guilty and weak, for fear of being scolded.

On that day, the East Palace was short of people, so he was able to be reused in the whole queue. Now more and more soldiers have been promoted to non-commissioned officers and then elected as officers. Many people with stronger abilities are also emerging. If they fall down now, they will probably not have a chance to make a fortune for a long time in the future.

"Tu Geng," the prince called intimately, "How is the training these days?"

Xiao Tugeng felt relieved. As the 100th general in the game, he did not personally intervene in the training. That was the work of the training officer and non-commissioned officers at all levels. However, as the military chief, the training officer had to hand over the training outline to him to sign and report on the training status. This made him know his soldiers well and even call out everyone's names.

"Your Highness Bing," Xiao Tugeng straightened his body. "Our bureau's physical fitness training ranks among the top in the entire camp, and the total training score is third among the 20 to 40 innings. There are four unique training subjects, and the progress of each subject is obvious."

Zhu Cixuan was determined to build a firearm teaching team, and he chose the Xiao Tugeng Bureau. The four unique training subjects are muskets, tiger squats, heavy artillery, and blasting. Each one is closely related to gunpowder. This is also the reason why they chose to protect Anmin Factory. One is easy to use, and the other is also able to have an intuitive understanding, so that some people will not think that gunpowder is planted in the ground.

"Our bureau is equipped with the Lumi gun and the Franji gun." Xiao Tugeng said: "Because it was selected in the inventory of Beijing camp, the weights are different, the range is different, and there are three blow-offs, which slightly injured two people and seriously injured one person. However, the decomposition actions have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and even the fire soldiers in our bureau can correctly set off the fire gun."

“This is good.”

Zhu Ciyang was very happy to have such progress in a month. Of course, this is also directly related to decomposing the movements and standardizing the scriptures. It turns out that formal training is much easier than sensory training. A month can train a musketeer who works correctly, but even if there are masters like Min Zhanlian, it will take two months to train a soldier who can fight in practice.

"But the tiger squat, heavy artillery and blasting three gates, no live ammunition drill has been conducted yet." Xiao Tugeng explained: "The so-called progress is just that the soldiers know the structure of the artillery."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "I understand the truth, and you can naturally practice when you drive outside the city in the future."

"Is my bureau going to move the defense?" Xiao Tugeng had long been impatient with such a small place as Anmin Factory, and he had to be careful when firing guns every day.

"Yes." Zhu Cilang nodded: "Not only do we need to move defenses, but also expand our army. I plan to add a thousand new recruits to you, promote you to the general manager, and train me a firearm department."

Xiao Tugeng felt that his whole face had lost his feelings. He didn't care about etiquette and rubbed it hard with his hands before saying, "Your Highness, one thousand people, one officer?"

If there are one thousand people, then you can organize ten bureaus. What department needs such a large organization!

"New recruit." Zhu Cixuan emphasized the key point: "After the election, you should laugh if you can get half of it. In addition, I hope the Firearms Bureau will be more organized."

In this era, firearms are far less lethal than later generations. Even the Lumi guns made by precision can only cause damage to armor-free targets within a hundred steps. In addition, the Beijing camp only has a straight-riffing rifled gun, so there is no accuracy. In addition, the tolerances generated during manufacturing are extremely poorly sealed, and many bullets are not sure where to fly after they are fired.

Only by increasing the density of firepower strikes in the unit space can we hurt the enemy. Those uniform line-up shooting tactics, as well as the three-stage round strikes invented by Kuang Mu Ying of Qian, are actually to maximize the density of firepower.

"The Firearms Bureau and the War Department, each team has four troops under its jurisdiction, with a total of twenty people." Zhu Cilang said, "The rest is still the same."

Xiao Tugeng thought in his mind: a small team of twenty people, that flag team is sixty people, a game of three flag teams, one hundred and eighty people, and a department of seven hundred and twenty people... If the recruits can only use half of them, there is still a free quota! However, in this way, there are enough fire soldiers and baggage auxiliary soldiers.

"Do you think it's not enough?" Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "When you get to the place, you can still recruit soldiers."

Now the Eastern Palace Guards have become a scale. With the style of professional soldiers, the conditions for recruitment of soldiers can be gradually relaxed. People have a herd mentality, and a large group of people will not be led by a few people, but a few people will only integrate into the trend.

"Thank you Your Highness!" Xiao Tugeng raised his head and asked again: "Your Highness, then isn't our company worthy of the killer?"

Killers are traditional warriors, fighting with cold weapons. According to Qi Jiguang's settings, each department has two firearms and two killer games. After the team fires, the killer game will perform tactical actions depending on the situation. If you are facing Meng and Man, the enemy who pays attention to cavalry attacks, the firearm game is often not very useful after a round of attacks, and the main force is still the killer game.

"Rely on friendly forces to protect themselves," Zhu Ciyang said, "and you must protect yourself."

Xiao Tugeng put his heels together, saluted military salute, and shouted: "Abide by the order!"

Zhu Cilang smiled. He knew that this might sound a bit tragic to Xiao Tugeng, because the bird gun lost its combat power after being fired, and it was even worse than the three-eyed gun. The three-eyed gun could be used as a hammer when reversed, but the bird gun was not much better than the fire stick.

Unless there is a bayonet.

In the history of weapons development, it is not only the birth of "big Macs" such as aircraft, aircraft carriers, and atomic bombs that are of epoch-making significance. Some inconspicuous "little guys" cannot even be considered small patents at the beginning of their birth, and they can still have a huge effect on the change of the form of war.

Zhu Cilang no longer had the chance to invent stirrups, saddles and bridles, but he had watched TV and participated in military training. He knew that the bayonet had not yet retired until the 21st century. He didn't know if the West had invented this little thing, but the Ming army was originally equipped with a quick gun, so it could be used with slight improvements.

A quick gun is a long-handled musket, five feet and five inches long and weighs five kilograms. The front is a sharp spear tip, and a two-foot-long spear barrel is connected to the back. Use four iron hoops to reinforce the barrel. When using it, remove the spear tip first, and put three or four cents of gunpowder and lead bullets from the muzzle. The barrel is a long handle. The fuse rope is one inch and five inches long, inserted into the barrel, and then install the spear tip after the gun to fight in close combat with the enemy.

This design is the same as the musket that was originally equipped with bayonets. The bayonet is inserted into the muzzle and is inconvenient to use. What Zhu Cixuan needs is to append the flintlock rifle with bayonets after the flintlock rifle is equipped with a bayonet. With a martial arts master like Min Zhanlian, it should not be difficult to temper a set of bayonet tactics from traditional martial arts.

The bayonet flintlock spearmen have great advantages when facing infantry. They first use long-range strikes to break their formation, and then engage in hand-to-hand combat at the fastest speed. They avoid changes in their own formation or the cooperation between the two armies. However, when facing cavalry, the spearmen still have great advantages due to length and will not be eliminated.

What's more, the horse's tolerance and muscle strength are much higher than that of humans. With the current lead bullet momentum, it still requires a lot of firepower to shoot a horse at a distance of 100 steps. When the cavalry charges, the knights lie on the horse's back and do not have much attack surface.

Due to this distrust of firearms, Zhu Cixuan was also very concerned about the use of traditional weapons, so Min Zhanlian was able to get the heavy responsibility. If he had changed to a powerful man, Min Zhanlian would have to become a lackey in the housekeeper.

Zhu Cixuan came out of Anmin Factory and specially approved Xiao Tugeng's fifty turtle dove-legged guns. This type of large gun is not the same as a bird gun, and the Lumi gun is completely different from the same number of ways as a five-foot-five, almost as long as a fast gun. The gun body is extremely heavy and requires a bracket to be used. It is precisely because the bracket is shaped like a bird's feet, so it is named the turtle dove-legged gun.

Although this type of large gun also has no accuracy, it uses a very large amount of medicine, has a long range and is powerful, and can only be made in Macau and Guangdong. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, Xiong Wencan transported a batch of arms into Beijing, including a hundred turtle dove-legged guns. After the Battle of Songjin, the court deliberately transferred Zheng Zhilong's navy to guard Juehua Island. Zheng Zhilong refused to go without a turtle dove-legged gun. Later, after entering the operation, he sent a batch of firearms to Dengzhou to finish the matter.
