In addition, Zhu Linmiao also came up with some solutions in terms of infantry firepower, logistics, and marching.

The clearest of these is the infantry firepower. The performance of the chasseurs in this battle is very telling, the chaser company of only more than 280 people actually killed more than 800 prisoners! Almost everyone has made meritorious contributions!

Of course, this is partly due to the fact that the hunters are carefully selected sharpshooters, but the main thing is because of the great superiority of rifled guns.

Compared to the smoothbore gun, which relied on luck to hit the target, the shooting accuracy of the rifled gun was simply a qualitative leap. In addition, its range and power have also been greatly improved.

If all the main battle weapons of the Dragon Guard infantry can be replaced with Type 2 Hunter Guns, it is foreseeable that the overall firepower can be increased by at least two or three times!

However, the processing accuracy of rifled guns is very high, otherwise the Mini bullet will not be able to fit accurately in the rifling. The more than 200 chasseur guns of the Dragon Guard Army at present are selected from thousands of guns, and if this ratio is followed, the cost of equipping the whole army with rifled guns will be unimaginably high.

Therefore, if you want to popularize rifled guns, the first thing to do is to standardize the process. This is also one of the necessary foundations for the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty in Zhu Linmiao's plan, but the implementation is by no means a day's work.

There are also logistical issues. Due to the flames of war in Fujing, it was basically impossible to raise grain and grass, and the logistics contractors of the Longwei Army could only transport grain from Guangdong and Jiangxi to Fujian, and the cost was extremely high. Fortunately, a large amount of Jianyu's grain and grass were seized this time, otherwise the battle would have been fought before Zhu Linmiao would have gone bankrupt.

So he immediately remembered the artifact that solved the problem of grain and grass in later generations - canned food. Of course, it is impossible to vacuum canning iron sheets, steel rolling and vacuum extraction technology are insurmountable obstacles, but it is still feasible to engage in glass high-temperature sterilization cans.

With canned food, you can carry a large amount of food at once without worrying about spoilage. Since there is no need to repeatedly transport from the production area, the cost of grain and grass will be greatly reduced, and it will even make it possible for large armies to go deep into places such as Mobei for a long time, where it is difficult to obtain supplies.

Of course, the production of glass bottles and the construction of a canning factory are complex projects that have to be done step by step.

Finally, there is the question of marching. Although the speed of the Dragon Guard's march was very impressive in this era, it was due to the good physical strength and strict discipline of the soldiers. One is difficult to last, and the other is not overwhelming.

The Dragon Guard is a typical elite force, with a small number of soldiers, and even with the addition of the Broken Battalion, it is far less than the number of soldiers and horses that have been built. This determines that they must have the ability to arrive on the battlefield in a short time, quickly break the enemy with a small number of elites, and then rush to the next target.

The most immediate solution in this regard is to increase the number of military horses and form a "mule-horse" mobile force. However, the areas controlled by the Ming Dynasty are all in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is only one horse in Yunnan, and the Yunnan horse is short, so it is not suitable to be a war horse. It seems that we have to expand a few channels to buy horses from the north.

Another means of doing this is to build roads. Marching along a leveled avenue, the speed is increased by at least four or five percent. The Qin Dynasty liked to build the Chi Road the most, so that their soldiers' delivery ability was much ahead of the enemy.

It's just that the Ming Dynasty is still an agricultural country, and the whole society has no need to build roads at all.

Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to stimulate business development, and it is the right way to promote business to promote the road. But it won't happen overnight.

Although the matter of improving the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard Army has made Zhu Linmiao think a lot, what makes him feel the most headache is the chaos in the Ming Dynasty now.

After all, for the former, he has a lot of experience and technology that can be applied in later generations, while the latter is very involved, especially since he now lacks his own power in the court, and it is difficult to use his ideas even if he has ideas.

Although he has a strong army to rely on, this can only increase his political capital to a limited extent. After all, the main energy of this army must be focused on dealing with foreign enemies, and the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, unless he wanted to carry out a military coup, otherwise military strength really did not play much role in improving his voice in the DPRK.

And the option of a military coup d'état Zhu Linwei will definitely not be considered for the time being, which will not only give Huguang, Liangguang and other places that were already separated from Germany an excuse to completely break away from the imperial court, but may even plunge the Ming Dynasty into chaos. As long as there is still a glimmer of hope that the Ming court can be saved, such things that can make Manchu people wake up from their dreams with laughter must not be taken lightly.

Previously, Zhu Linwei had been busy fighting, and he had no time to take care of the affairs in the court, but now it was time to take care of it.

At the moment of the great enemy, Zhu Yuao is clinging to his authority, and Empress Dowager Zeng will inevitably hinder him everywhere in order to maintain his imperial power.

You don't have to do it, but your own family is noisy first. In the past, Mo said that the Northern Expedition to recover the rivers and mountains was a luxury to keep a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Yuao's personality Zhu Linmiao knows very well that he can't be captured externally, but he is a good hand at fighting a civil war.

In history, after the death of Longwu, Zhu Yuao went to Guangdong to establish the Shaowu regime and set the capital in Guangzhou. However, after he ascended the throne, he did not think about the imperial captivity, but put all the main forces on the western front to deal with Ming Zhaozong Yongli, so that Li Chengdong only led a few hundred cavalry to break through Guangzhou. At this point, it has not been more than a month since Shaowu established the dynasty, which shows that this person is stupid and incompetent.

Therefore, Zhu Linmiao's overall plan is to protect Taizheng as the little emperor and find a way to seize power from Zhu Yuao.

After all, people in this era still pay great attention to the imperial power, and with the golden sign of the emperor, at least He Tengjiao, Ding Kuichu and others do not dare to stand on their own at will.

Even if these two people disobey the yang and the yin and don't listen to the propaganda, as long as Jiangnan still maintains the apparent unity, the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty will be stable.

It's just that how to suppress Zhu Yuao, Zhu Linmiao has no established strategy at this time. However, Empress Dowager Zeng ordered him to assist the saint this time, which is already a good start, and then he can only return to Tianxing Mansion and take a step at a time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness." On the side, Zhen Zhen saw that Zhu Linmiao was silent and silent, looking absent-minded, and couldn't help but worry, "Are you uncomfortable?" Otherwise, let's get back in the car. ”

"Uncomfortable...... Oh, no. Zhu Linmiao hurriedly waved his hand, then thought about it, and nodded again, "It's okay to get in the car." ”

He got off the horse, took the carriage instead, asked Shi Lin to take a pen and paper, sorted out his thoughts in the past two days, and wrote down the "Ming Development Outline" on the wooden table in the carriage, and then listed "agriculture", "industry", "maritime", "politics", "military", "education" and other subdivisions.

At night, Zhen Zhen looked at the flickering candlelight in the carriage, and wanted to persuade His Royal Highness King Chen to pay attention to his body and rest more, but he was afraid of disturbing his train of thought, so he looked forward and backward for a while, with a touch of sadness between his eyebrows, and he didn't know what to do.
