Will be the supervisor, experimental factory outside the city.

Zhu Yunxi finally led them here just as Zhu Gaochi said.

When the imperial court wanted to completely abolish the chieftain system in the southwest, he, as the emperor's grandson, led the troops in the southwest. He was the first general to serve as a prisoner and used the newly built mortars on the battlefield for the first time.

The effect is naturally significant.

The mountainous terrain in the southwest that originally troubled the Ming army. Those chieftains who used to be able to hide in the mountains with the help of high mountains and valleys, now have no way to hide, hide or escape in front of mortars.

The reason why Southwest was able to end and abolish the chieftain system so quickly was largely due to the emergence of new mortars.

What is the war about?

It is the comprehensive national strength of a country.

More advanced training models, more advanced military equipment, and better logistics supplies.

"The Western Region is different from the Southwest. Mortars can achieve significant results and gain huge profits in the Southwest, but if they are transferred to the vast Gobi Desert in the Western Region, they may not have the same effect."

Zhu Yunxi explained softly at the experimental factory outside the city.

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously from the side: "So this time, will the supervisor come up with something new?"

Zhu Yunxi shook his head, so that Zhu Gaochi, who was still full of curiosity, couldn't help but look disappointed.

He just smiled and said nothing.

Even if I create countless settings for the general, it is impossible for the general to come up with new things every now and then.

The development of industrial science and technology requires more and more time.

Just like now.

The firecrackers used by the Ming Dynasty have only been improved in terms of barrel strength and firing method.

Higher strength, faster firing.

But if you want to transform directly from a firecracker to an automatic rifle, even a bolt-action rifle, there is a huge gap in technological accumulation.

If only it could be like that.

On the contrary, Zhu Yunxi hoped to get a six-barreled machine gun first.

With the Ming Dynasty's current resource integration, as long as more than a thousand machine guns are lined up on the battlefield in the Western Region, no matter how many enemies are on the opposite side, just pull the trigger and don't let go.

But the reality is that the current industrial accumulation in Ming Dynasty is still primitive.

However, even if no new weapons appear, improving on the original basis is currently the focus of the work of the Ministry of Industry and General Supervisors.

Zhang Ergong, who resigned as Minister of Industry, is becoming more energetic now.

No longer involved in the tedious affairs of the ministry, Mr. Zhang seemed to be rejuvenated.

I heard from some tabloids in Beijing that plagiarized newspapers and newspapers.

Zhang Ergong, the former Minister of Industry, is now at home and can always show off his majesty at night.

Zhang Ergong was currently accompanying Zhu Yunxi and the others, walking past the rows of manufactured artillery pieces and muskets.

"Now the general supervisor has reclassified all of my firearms."

"In terms of artillery, there are now three types of land-use light, medium and heavy artillery, all of which are manufactured with new technology. Firearms are classified into more categories, with no less than fifteen types. Now all three types of artillery are distributed and equipped in the army.

, Fire Guns have eleven types of equipment in the army, four of which are still under testing.

The firearms used by the navy are mainly light artillery and heavy artillery, which are different from the land version. They add sea stability decoration and supplement shooting accuracy. There are two types of naval firecrackers, long-range firecrackers used on ships, and landing guns.

The rapid-fire musket used.”

Zhu Shangbing stood in front of the heavy land artillery and couldn't move his feet.

Heavy artillery weighing 3,000 kilograms (the largest artillery in the entire Ming Dynasty did not exceed two tons), one shell can blast open a city gate. Most of these are now deployed at important passways and city defenses.

of.

Zhang Ergong led Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi to a row of light artillery.

"The latest wheeled horse-drawn artillery has an overall weight of only 500 kilograms, and the entire unit can be pulled by a group of pack horses. If the road is rugged, it can be transported in separate packages by four pack horses, or by a small flag team of officers and soldiers.

This time the imperial court is about to send troops to the Western Regions. I, the generals and supervisors and colleagues believe that the army should equip the army with this batch of artillery in large quantities, which is most suitable for the terrain of the Western Regions and the enemy forces it faces."

Zhu Gaochi listened to Zhang Ergong's introduction with great interest.

Zhu Yunxi had already walked to the introduction placed next to this artillery piece.

According to the classification of the general, this artillery should be between the land-based light artillery and the medium artillery.

Light artillery with a weight of 500 kilograms and less than 300 kilograms is classified, and medium artillery with a weight of more than 1,000 kilograms and less than 2,000 kilograms is graded.

Light artillery is mostly used in the military today to cover large quantities of firepower.

The medium-sized artillery is used for fortification and high-power attacks.

This 500-kilogram horse-drawn artillery is more focused on mobility and firepower balance.

Zhu Yunxi reached out and patted the rising muzzle of the cannon, looking at Zhang Ergong.

"Can it be done with a thousand cannons?"
