Zhu Linmiao took advantage of the enthusiasm of the craftsmen, and immediately announced the process standardization and restructuring of the Fujing Ordnance Bureau.

"The specific rules will be sent to you later, and they will be taught in detail in the technical school.

"Let me briefly mention here that there are four main aspects of process standardization: unified teaching, unified weights and measures, unified process flow, and unified verification."

After the meeting, the craftsmen left happily, but Xu Erlu grabbed Song Yingxing on the side and said, "Mr. Song, I can think of the benefits of setting up a technical school."

"It's just that this process is standardized and restructured...... I've read the charter, and it's very detailed.

"For example, when making a hammer and dragging, don't say the size of each place, that is, which position is measured with what kind of tool and how many times there are rules.

"Your Highness's attempt to enforce this set of regulations in the state capitals will inevitably halt the factory for a while, or at least slow down the speed of making weapons. But I don't know what the purpose of this standardized restructuring is? ”

Song Yingxing spread his hands, "Your Highness is far-sighted, how can you and I figure it out?" I only know that it is right to do as His Highness instructs. ”

In a study room of the Ordnance Bureau, Zhu Linmiao looked at the detailed process standardization process in front of him, and had mixed feelings in his heart.

In the battle of Shanguan, although the Ming Dynasty won the victory and annihilated tens of thousands of prisoners, it cannot be ignored that the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion also paid heavy casualties.

Strictly speaking, there are only two provinces in the Ming Dynasty at present, and the population is only a few million. And this little bit of territory has just suffered from military disasters, and southern Fujian has encountered drought, so now the imperial court tax can be described as bleak.

On the other hand, Jianyu, sitting on the seven provinces of Jiangbei, plus a large territory in the northeast and Mongolia, is far from being matched by the Southern Ming Dynasty in terms of human and financial resources.

Fortunately, Dolgon was too arrogant before, and he divided his troops and fought on multiple fronts, which made the Taizheng Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief.

If Dolgon wanted to destroy the Ming Dynasty at all costs, at the limit he could at least entangled 80,000 or 90,000 Manchurian, Mongolian, and Han Eight Banner soldiers, plus more than 200,000 Green Battalion soldiers.

Zhu Linmiao was very sober-minded, even though the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Prisoner Battalion was much stronger than that of Jianyu, but after all, the number of people was small. If the army of nearly 300,000 people marched south at this time, the Ming Dynasty was still very likely to be destroyed.

Taking a step back, even if Dolgon did not make a desperate bet and only mobilized 30% or more than 100,000 horses to attack Fujing, according to the casualty ratio of the Battle of Shanguan, even if the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion fought desperately to repel the captive army, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

And such a large casualty is absolutely unacceptable.

Not to mention that in the future, the Northern Expedition to Nanjing and then the capture of Beijing will make it even more difficult to estimate how many more Ming soldiers will die.

But the great cause of exterminating the Tartars could not be interrupted. There is only one way to reduce casualties – to increase the combat effectiveness of the army. When the combat effectiveness crushed the Jianyu, the losses of the Ming army were greatly reduced.

There are usually only three ways to improve the combat effectiveness of an army: increasing the number of troops, raising the level of training, and equipping them with more advanced weapons.

Of the three, the increase in the number of troops is limited by the logistical supply capacity and the country's financial resources. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, transportation, food storage, etc. were all problems. Blindly increasing troops regardless of logistics will not only fail to improve combat effectiveness, but may even cause low morale due to poor supply of grain and grass.

The reason why the Dragon Guard had never worried about food and grass in their previous battles was not only due to the commercial supply system, but also due to the small number of people. With the current situation of the Ming Dynasty and the level of consumption of Zhu Linmiao's new army, the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion can expand their army to forty or fifty thousand people at most.

If you increase the number of troops, the supply mark of the soldiers will be rapidly reduced. In fact, the Daming field troops planned by Zhu Linmian only had more than 30,000 people, 10,000 Dragon Guards and more than 20,000 broken camps. After the imperial court regained control of Liangguang, Huguang and other places, this number could be further increased.

In terms of the level of military training, it is even more difficult to make a big improvement. The training level of the Dragon Guard Army is definitely the best in this era, and even the Broken Battalion can also help Asia and Europe.

Only when a large number of cadets graduate from the two military academies in Longnan and Jian'an, perhaps the training level of some Ming troops can be improved.

Therefore, if you want to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the fastest and most effective way is to equip it with more advanced weapons. Just like in the Gulf War in later generations, the casualties of US GIs armed with various sophisticated weapons were simply negligible, and most of them were accidentally wounded by friendly troops.

Although the flintlock gun equipped by the Dragon Guard Army surpassed the bird gun of Jianyu by a whole generation, judging from the casualties in Shanguan, this could not fully make up for the gap between the Ming Dynasty and Jianyu in terms of national strength.

Not to mention that the Broken Camp only used a slightly more advanced bird gun than the Jianyu, and it couldn't even completely abandon the cold weapon of the spear.

However, Zhu Linwei has an overall plan for how to improve the level of weapons and equipment.

The first step was to popularize rifled guns in large numbers. The Type 2 Hunter has performed well in some of the previous battles, not only has there been a qualitative leap in shooting accuracy, but also greatly improved in terms of range and power.

It is calculated according to the hit rate of 20 percent for flintlock guns and 60 percent for rifled guns. Under the condition that other conditions remain unchanged, the whole army will be issued with Type 2 Hunter Guns, which will directly increase the combat effectiveness by three times!

At the same time, there will be no more cases where an infantry line of 4,000 soldiers fired a salvo of 4,000 soldiers and killed only 3 or 400 enemy troops.

Four thousand infantry wiped out thousands of prisoners in one salvo, what a terrifying lethality!

Fighting against the same number of Jianjun, before they could get within range of the bird's gun, they were all killed by the dragon guards.

Moreover, Zhu Linmiao plans to completely redress the Ming army this time, including the broken camp, and equip the whole army with 30,000 rifled guns. Coupled with a large number of new artillery, the Northern Expedition will be invincible to recover the two capitals!

However, rifled guns are not like flintlock guns, which can be made by any workshop that can be made with the drawings.

The requirements for the machining accuracy of the rifled guns are extremely high, and all the guns must be guaranteed to be of the same size, and the difference cannot exceed 0.1 mm.

If the barrel is too thick, the edge of the Mini bullet will not be embedded in the rifling, and thus it will be indistinguishable from the bird's gun.

If the barrel is too thin, it will not be able to load the bullet smoothly, and even if it is barely stuffed, there is a great risk of exploding.

The more than 200 chasseur guns that the Dragon Guard was equipped with before were made of more than 200 guns of similar thickness from the 4,000 guns. And according to the reaction of the hunting company, there are still many problems with them.

The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty made utensils, and basically made their own utensils behind closed doors. Everyone's mentorship is different, and the method of making things is very different, from the choice of materials to the measuring tools, they are all in their own class.
