In Chen Jiujing's view, the existence of the Ming Empire's martial arts hall and the Siyang Military Mansion not only inherited the classical military tradition, but also added more changes that conformed to the times.

Traditionally, the classical military emphasized defense and internal stability, attached importance to the ethics of war, and the greatest war interest was unification, whether it pursued 'intelligence' or 'deceitful power', force was put behind, and the best strategy was to surrender the army without a fight;

Nowadays, their overseas policy emphasizes offense and dealing with foreign countries, and they are more outspoken in the interests of war, advocating the spirit of martial arts and deterrence by force in peacetime, emphasizing the defeat of force and all-out expansion in wartime, and increasing their dependence on "art" on the basis of inheriting and pursuing "deceitful power".

Whether it is the unified infantry drill code, regulations, and other management methods, or the improvement and progress of military technology, more attention is paid than the traditional military.

This is almost the most distinctive characteristic of every general who was born in the martial arts hall, every general racks his brains in order to obtain the best ordnance and armament subordinates, and he can also talk about what he wants to get by entering a war, which of course has the mentality of being overseas with a little 'lawlessness' to raise his head, and to a large extent, it is also the embodiment of the rapid technical perspective of the emerging collective military academy but the lack of traditional martial arts education.

Whether it is the same kind or not, you can smell it with your nose.

At least for General Chen Jiujing, who was stationed in Bilbao, Yang Ce from the Han Kingdom was the same kind, and he was also the second person Chen Jiujing was waiting for.

A month and a half ago, a blue flying shark ship docked at the port of Daming in the Ming Concession of Seville, and the letter was sent by land all the way from the southernmost point of Spain to the northernmost part of Chen Jiujing's possession, it was a letter from Yang Ce, indicating that the letter should be sent to General Chen in the northern garrison.

Chen Jiujing opened the letter and learned that this respectful letter was written by Yang Ce to his father-in-law Chen Mu, and it was sent to the right place but to the wrong person, and the location was 20,000 miles away.

But he was able to do just as much as the letter asked.

Yang Ce wanted to join the war against France, but he needed to pay a thousand rods before he could join the war, and the battles he directly participated in had to be divided into 20% of the spoils after the war, and the battles he completed alone were only 30% of the profits.

Chen Jiujing agreed to all of them, and only half a month later, six flying shark ships docked at ports on the western coast of Spain sailed to Bilbao.

At the wharf, Huang Xi escorted boxes of Western-made, French-made arquebuses to Yang Ce's cronies from Madagascar with Nanyang descent for acceptance.

"Yijun? What the general wants is a bird gun, and the best bird gun in the world is in Nanyangwei. ”

There were only 500 muskets handed over to Yang Ce in advance, but in fact, in addition to the muskets used by the Baishan Battalion and the Xiyong Battalion, Chen Jiujing also had more than 600 arquebuses in his hand.

Some of them were the booties captured in the Battle of Bordeaux, and some of them were bought from Bilbao by the Xiyong battalion headquarters during this period, but he didn't want to hand over the muskets to Yang Ce in pieces, because it would not look good, and second, it would let Yang Ce know that his armament reserves were insufficient.

Although not an enemy, Chen Jiujing was reluctant to let anyone know.

"If the general takes the bird from the Nanyang Guard, you will not be able to wait for this battle."

As a guerrilla of the Baishan Battalion, Huang Xi from North Korea can be called well-informed in bird guns, and he knows very well that the Han general in front of him can't compare to him in terms of understanding firearms, and the reason why he is called the best bird gun in the world, especially the arquebus gun in Nanyangwei, can basically make the inference that 'this is a layman'.

Neither Yang Ce nor the pirate leader in front of him mentioned the flintlock, obviously they were referring to the arquebus, Yang Ce may have the mentality of going to the country, so he said this, and he will be about hearsay.

Because Chen Jiujing mentioned to him many times when he was in command of the Baishan Battalion at the beginning, Nanyangwei's refined handcuffs, flintlock bird guns and large-caliber cast iron artillery are the first in the world, and arquebus guns, armor, forged knives, grenades, and rockets are the first in the world, among which grenades and rockets are because there is no reference.

All kinds of small-caliber artillery, ordinary single-shot arquebuses, and runners are second-rate in the world.

As for the chain mail and bow crossbow, it doesn't make a difference whether it is made by Nanyang Wei or not, it is most likely made by the Ordnance Bureau of other guards, even if it is really made by Nanyang Wei, it is also the private work of the military craftsman to subsidize the family, because the Nanyang Wei Ordnance Bureau does not have the latter's production line, and the chain mail has a wire drawing machine and hydraulic pressure ring and riveting equipment, but it was not done a long time ago.

Huang Xi raised his hand to stop the subordinates of the Baishan battalion who were carrying muskets, and said to the generals of the Han State: "It's not the best, each country has its own strengths, the most ruthless is the Ottoman gun, the heaviest is the Xiyi gun, and the most durable is the Nanyang of the National Dynasty." ”

Ruthlessness is lethality, and among all the light bird guns, the Wolf Gun causes the most wounds when it hits unarmored enemies; Poison is the range, and the Ottoman arquebuses are well-made and have the longest range; The Spanish heavy muskets were naturally far away and ruthless, and the thing with two taels of charge at a time was classified as a hand cannon in the Nanyang Lecture Hall.

There are similar large-caliber muskets in Japan, but the varieties and regulations are too chaotic and the number is too small.

After Chen Mu captured the heavy musket, the Ming Dynasty had imitation, but soon even Chen Mu gave up the imitation, because the ordinary light gun was enough, and the heavy musket was replaced by the tiger squat cannon, the Fran machine, the rocket and the two-pound gun, and the longer the distance, there was a more professional killer gun, and there was no need for such a bulky weapon.

Nanyang has no advantage in lethality, but there is a crosshair, a door, relatively more sophisticated, the length and thickness of the barrel after the Ordnance Bureau experiments and comparison of dozens of models, the final shape in the barrel length of the premise to ensure practical power, lighter and more portable, very friendly to soldiers.

"The captured Fayi guns are not bad, and there are another five hundred poles being built by the western province of Bacchus, it really can't be done, we have three hundred poles of Japanese guns in our army, and I can exchange them for you."

In fact, Huang Xi wanted to use the Japanese guns to slow down this batch of Spanish heavy muskets prepared for Yang Ce, and the best Nanyang Arsenal could not take the turn of the Baishan Battalion, and all the guns under his command were Japanese guns, and his guns did not contribute to the attack on Bordeaux, and he was embarrassed to ask Chen Jiujing for the reward of the war profits.

This is exactly what the pirate general wants, and he immediately finalized: "Then it's decided, three hundred bars, I heard that the guns are not bad, how long will it take to make the remaining birds?" ”

"January at the latest." Huang Xi asked, "How many troops do you have?" ”

The bearded pirate with Nanyang blood laughed, shook his head, and said, "After a month, when General Yang comes, you will know this guerrilla general." ”
