Author's note: The obvious later term "ton" appears above for ease of reading.

The measurement of the Ming Dynasty was two, dividing, bucket, rising, he, hu, and stone.

Of course, try not to appear in the future measurement nouns later.

………

It is true that money can make ghosts grind.

Whether it is the eunuch Lu who has received benefits, or the eunuchs who have received small profits, they are all very good to good ministers.

The samples brought by the eunuchs were all cold weapons, broadswords, spears, halberds, longbows, iron armor and cotton armor, and two kinds of shields with one side and one round.

Liangchen picked them up one by one, although he was not an expert, but these samples seemed to be fine. The big knife looks very sharp, and it is impossible to cut hair like mud, but with a single knife, the separation of flesh and bone will definitely be possible. The spearhead is also very sharp, and the spear body is similar to the wax rod used by Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, which is very hard.

After trying the bowstring, Liangchen didn't know how many stones it was, his intuition was very powerful, and an untrained person like him couldn't pull the bow continuously in a short period of time. The iron armor was also carried, and I was afraid that it would weigh dozens of pounds. As far as Liangchen's body is concerned, it is okay to wear it, but it is enough to go out and walk around the school field, let alone go into battle to kill the enemy.

The shield, also known as the "Shield", as the name suggests, is a defensive equipment. The square type is used to defend against the enemy army in a frontal formation, and the round type is used to defend against arrows held above the head.

In addition to running rampant in the southeast sea, the biggest enemy of Liangchen training troops must be the Jiannu outside the Guan. The Jiannu cavalry is famous, and when fighting against the Ming army, he often disrupts the Ming army's large array with sharp arrows, and then attacks with cavalry. In the later period, it was able to completely suppress the Ming army with firearms. By the time they entered the customs, the main force of the Qing army was the firearms troops of the Han Sanshun King and Wu Sangui.

Taking its strengths and discarding its shortcomings, Jiannu's ability to learn and imitate is countless heads stronger than that of the Ming army. Learning to fight in the war, and strengthening themselves in the war, from Nurhachi down, the Jiannu military group is indeed full of talents. After successfully colonizing China, abandoning firearms was also a wise move for Jiannu itself.

After all, there are few people in his clan.

Firearms, as long as the quality is good, in the hands of a child, can kill Prince Baylor under the horse.

From the perspective of actual combat, before it can form enough firepower to suppress, Liangchen will definitely need to equip his soldiers with a large number of shields, as well as cotton armor.

The cotton armor in front of Liangchen is lined with iron sheets, fixed with copper nails on the outside, and the total weight is only about ten catties, which is much lighter than the iron armor of dozens of catties, and the production is also very simple, and it can be mass-produced, which is very in line with Liangchen's wishes.

In the future, it will be the era of firearms, and he will not consider the iron armor. Unless, in the past nine years, his father-in-law of Xiao Wei hit the south wall every day, and he has achieved nothing in weapon research and development, forcing him to spend a lot of money to equip his army with iron armor that only officers can wear.

Very satisfied, just from the samples he saw, Liangchen was definitely overjoyed. Only, he suspected that what he saw might be the best of the armory.

He noticed that some of the samples had obvious oil stains on them. What does this mean, it shows that it has been carefully maintained. However, combined with the style of the War Bureau, a group of eunuchs carefully maintain weapons and equipment every day, which is really hard for him to believe.

Seeing that Liangchen was hesitant, Eunuch Lu thought that he had some concerns in his heart, so he smiled on the side and said: "Don't worry about anything, just say what you like, let them paint it, and the price is easy to say." ”

Liangchen hesitated, and Eunuch Yu Lu clearly said that he wanted to enter the warehouse to take a closer look.

Eunuch Lu was such a smart person, he suddenly knew what Liangchen was worried about, and laughed: "But go, but go." When they see the good ones, they directly ask them to take them out and load them. ”

Liangchen was happy: "Is it okay?" ”

"What's not to do?" Eunuch Lu patted the board, "Our family will be the master for you." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Lu!"

Liangchen excitedly followed the eunuchs of the arsenal to the warehouse to personally select, and as he expected, many of the weapons in this warehouse were unusable. A lot of it was piled up in a mess, and the dust on it was very thick.

Eunuch Lu saw Liangchen looking at the moldy and dusty ordnance in a daze, and said with a smile: "Taiping Chengjiu is like this, the swords and guns are put into storage, and the horses are put in Nanshan, which should be meaningful." Our arsenal is for the Beijing camp, after the Gengxu change, counting, the Beijing camp has not been touched for nearly 60 years, how do you need this more weapons. Every year is a matter of face, our family really has to worry about them seriously, and the gang in Jingying complain about our family. ”

The "Gengxu Change" was the biggest crisis of the Jiajing Dynasty.

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, Altan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Tumut tribe, invaded the Ming Dynasty because of the failure of the "tribute city". I Da led the army to commit Datong, the chief soldier Zhang Da and the deputy chief soldier Lin Chun were both killed in battle, Qiu Luan was afraid and helpless, and bribed me with a lot of money, so that he could move to Datong and not commit Datong.

As a result, after I agreed to accept bribes, the whole army marched east into Gyeonggi and entered Gubeikou, killing and plundering countless people in Huairou and Shunyi. The Ming army was about to collapse at the first touch, and the Mongol commander drove into Beijing. Since the civil and engineering changes, there has been no police in Beijing for a hundred years, and the Mongolian army has once again come to the city, and the top and bottom are shocked and at a loss.

At that time, Ding Rukui, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked the first assistant Yan Song how to fight on time. Yan Song actually said that if you are in a battle, you can cover it up if you lose, and if you are in a war, you can't hide it if you are defeated, and I am just a predator and thief, and I will go naturally when I am full.

Ding Rukui understands and does not take the generals lightly. So all the generals stood firm without a fight, and did not send a single arrow. So I replied to the soldiers outside the city free to burn and plunder, where harassment for eight days, after the plunder, got the promise of the Ming Dynasty Tonggong, still retreated from Gubeikou. Afterwards, Yan Song killed Ding Rukui, who carried out his order, to blame him.

At the time of the "Gengxu Change", the Beijing camp was already decaying, and there were only 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, half of whom were old and weak, and half of them were envoys of the internal and external governors. It also lacks combat equipment and armor, and its combat effectiveness is very poor. Jiajing had no choice but to urgently gather soldiers and civilians and the Quartet to defend the city, and flew to summon the soldiers of the towns and the king.

Since that time, Jingying has effectively existed in name only.

Wanli launched the three major expeditions, and never called a single soldier in the Beijing camp from beginning to end, that is, the Beijing camp was useless. During the Chongzhen period, Jingying once cobbled together some people to pacify the Liukou and resist the Jiannu, and as a result, it was a joke.

If you don't make a noise out of the city, you can use it.

Thirty miles are not dispersed, and they are called strong soldiers.

Historically, the central forbidden army has been weak, and it must be replaced by a strong border town. The emergence of the military leader in the later period of Chongzhen is the inevitability of the weakening of the Beijing camp. This evil result directly led to the fact that in the early Southern Ming Dynasty, the four towns could participate in the emperor's change, and the imperial court was difficult to control and quickly defeated.

Like the guards in various places, there are people on the roster of the Beijing camp now, but those soldiers are all serving as slaves in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles. In this way, where is it possible for the armory of the War Bureau to handle weapons and equipment for these slaves.

The sample that Liangchen just saw was a product of conscience. And this conscience is produced in very few quantities in the entire armory.

In fact, he was really wronged, in the morning in the war bureau, why Wang Dana and the eunuchs of all sizes heard that he was going to buy ordnance, they were stunned for a moment, and then they all flashed brightly.

Without it, the big-headed ghost is coming.

God knows, for decades, this military bureau has never made a fortune in armaments at all.

Because, no one wants!
