Zhu Jie was overjoyed, he just gave Bi Maokang an idea last time, to make the most primitive machine tools, I didn't expect that these people really figured it out, if they can really produce rifled guns in large quantities, it is a great thing, with rifling, the speed and accuracy of the bullet are increased by more than one or two times?

If the effective range of the bullet can exceed 300 meters, it will be a deadly threat to the cavalry, especially when the musket is equipped with more than a certain size, the threat is even greater!

"Brother Bai Gu, pass on the decree and order the Ministry of Industry to make every effort to supervise the construction of rifled barrels!"

Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, even if we do our best to supervise the construction, we can't make much in a day, first, such a machine is difficult to manufacture, and second, if you want to punch rifling, it must be stainless steel, ordinary steel, where can it be cut?" But it's hard to find steel......"

"No matter how hard it is, you have to do it!"

Zhu Jie said in a deep voice: "Brother Baigu, if we want to completely defeat the Manchurian elite cavalry, we can only rely on muskets, how can we do it only by relying on our cavalry?" Now the most elite cavalry in the world are among the Tianwei army, but less than 20,000 people, not as strong as the Guanning iron cavalry, and the main force of Manchurian elite cavalry is as many as 70,000 or 80,000 people, even if we do our best to buy war horses and build cavalry, it is impossible to succeed without a few years, and when it comes to cavalry archery, it is too difficult for the Ming army to surpass the Qing army......"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Although Sun Chuanting was helpless, but there was no way, at the beginning of the battle of Songshan, the Ming Dynasty had 140,000 elite combat power, and in the face of Manchurian elite cavalry, they were constrained everywhere, and finally completely defeated by the opponent, now the Ming Dynasty even if all the elite combat power under the world are concentrated, it is only about 100,000 people, and the three towns of Nanjing are now only beginning to have combat power, compared with the Tianwei Army and the elite of the Qing Army, there is still a certain gap!

Zhu Jie then asked: "Zhenghang, what is the progress of the Firearms Bureau supervising the manufacture of muskets and artillery now?" ”

Zhao Zhenghang hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, now the Firearms Bureau is working day and night, and it can supervise the production of 100 muskets, 8,000 projectiles, and more than 600 catties of gunpowder every day. Now, as soon as Hou Butang heard that Master Bi asked to see him, he couldn't wait to hide in the rat hole, but he was really frightened by the expenses of the Firearms Bureau......"

"So, in another month, the Firearms Bureau will be able to come up with 3,000 flintlock muskets again?"

Zhu Jie's heart shook slightly, if he could get another 3,000 flintlock muskets, it would be powerful, and if 6,000 musketeers went to the front line, it would be enough to change the direction of the entire battlefield!

"It shouldn't be a big problem, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, and shouted: "Since this is the case, then make an order, recruit 3,000 people again, rebuild the Daming Shenji Battalion, Zhenghang, you are in charge of the musket battalion and do a good job, order, Zhao Zhenghang is competent as the commander of the Shenji Battalion, under the jurisdiction of two cavalry battalions, four infantry battalions, all belong to you in moderation, do a good job, don't let me down!" ”

Qin Mufeng on the side is about to flow down, Zhao Zhenghang alone controls 6,000 musketeers, you must know that the entire three towns of Nanjing, combined, have only 1,500 muskets, this is a real killing weapon! Six thousand muskets are enough to top the strength of a town in the right town of Nanjing, no, it is much more powerful than the right town of Nanjing!

"Your Majesty, we don't have such eccentric eyes, muskets, can you give all the muskets to Zhenghang, this kid, the rain and dew are all wet, how can you give us a point?"

As he spoke, Qin Mufeng looked at Zhao Zhenghang and shouted: "Zhao Zhenghang, you dog, but you have poached a thousand elites from my right town in Nanjing in one go, this is a great favor, what do you say?" ”

Zhao Zhenghang's face darkened, wiped it, this kid began to settle accounts so soon.

Zhao Zhenghang said dissatisfied: "Mu Feng, you have to be clear, this musket can only exert its true power when it is concentrated, one or two hundred muskets, in the face of the cavalry of the brigade, does not work at all, and it is cracked by the opponent's charge, once the cavalry is close, ten musketeers may not be able to withstand a stunned cavalry, the emperor will give priority to all the muskets equipped with the musket battalion, which is to give full play to the advantages of the musket!" ”

Shu Xinchen on the side replied: "Come on, Zhenghang, a few of you were single-handedly picked out by me, now that you have benefits, you can't forget your roots, don't do more, I only need to replenish five hundred muskets in Nanjing Zuozhen, five hundred muskets, enough to threaten a cavalry battalion, anyway, you already have three thousand muskets, five hundred muskets, it's nothing, right?" ”

Qin Mufeng and Shu Xinchen sang and harmonized, squeezing Zhao Zhenghang, and Zhu Jie on the side said angrily: "Okay, what are you making trouble?" Even if you want to replenish, it is also to give priority to replenishing the Tianwei army, Yifan is facing twice the Qing army of his own, the pressure is huge, you are in Nanjing, which door is in a hurry? ”

The two of them looked stunned when they heard this, wiped it, it seems that they can't catch up, even if the two of them are wanting, they are greedy, they must not compete with the soldiers of the Tianwei Army led by Xu Yifan, they are fighting bloodily!

Zhu Jie took a deep breath and said: "Zhenghang, now that your musket battalion training has achieved initial results, it will take a few days to recruit 3,000 new troops, tomorrow I will transfer 1,000 flintlock muskets from the army, and transfer 100,000 rounds of projectiles from the Firearms Bureau, all of which will be transported to the Daimyo's Mansion, and send cavalry to escort them to the Daimyo's Mansion, Yifan is difficult enough now, and I can only do this......"

Zhao Zhenghang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's good for you, just now you were talking about replenishing the musket for me, in the blink of an eye, it changed hexagrams, a thousand muskets, this is one-third of the equipment of the musket battalion......"

"What, it's distressing?"

Zhu Jie said with a smile.

"Of course it's distressing!"

"Then we won't draw flintlock muskets, let's pass the decree, immediately mobilize a thousand musketeers to help the Daimyo's mansion, large-scale musket production, we just take this opportunity to test the performance and power of muskets......"

Poof!

Zhao Zhenghang sat on the ground with his ass, special, unlucky, messing around, he still has to bleed heavily, a thousand musketeers! What's going on!
