"To attack Japan, relying solely on North Korea and the Ming Xie Army will definitely be futile. Don't worry, I have my own arrangements.
Dragon Teng Army, Dragon Banner Army, Qi Family Army, New Army, Shenji Camp, you immediately rush to the Martial Arts Field to test new weapons. "
"According to the purpose"
With Zhu Youjian's order, several important arms of Ming Dynasty rushed to the martial arts arena.
Of course not all the soldiers are in place, as long as you send out small flags, general flags, general flags, hundreds of households, and thousands of households.
The Ming army has now been restructured, and the guards have long been a thing of the past, but the official positions of hundreds of households are still preserved.
A hundred households no longer own the previous hundred households, but directly manage and command a hundred soldiers, and the same is true for a thousand households, becoming a commander of a thousand people.
Zhu Youjian did not restructure the army like the later generations, and the Ming army still maintained the Ming Dynasty system.
Three types of mortars, 28 bursts of manual firecrackers, as well as grenades and rockets, have all been transported to the training ground.
Most of the soldiers did not come to the martial arts arena, but the number of officers still reached thousands.
Seeing an iron shelf with a firearm with six barrels on it, Huang Degong walked over.
"What kind of firearm is this, are so many barrels useful?"
Next to each new weapon were engineers from the Daming Arms Manufacturing Bureau, who were responsible for introducing the methods and precautions for using the firearms to the soldiers.
Standing next to Shizhen's gun is Zixuan, a young expert of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
Seeing that Huang Degong was interested in the multi-barreled firearm in front of him, Zixuan smiled slightly:
"Master Hou, this is a firearm invented by Mr. Zhao. His Majesty named him a famous blunderbuss. It can fire 28 bursts, but it needs to be fired manually."
Huang Degong opened his mouth wide open, and looked at Zixuan in disbelief:
"How is it possible? If it is really possible to fire 28 bursts, not to mention manually, even if you use your feet, Ben Hou will have to equip a thousand units. Let me try."
As Huang Degong said, he reached out and shook the handle of the Shizhen gun, thinking that Zixuan was joking with him.
"Master Hou, slow down!"
Zixuan reached out to stop Huang Degong, and the two turned the Shizhen gun to the direction of no one, then loaded the bullet and opened the safety.
"Lord Hou, try it!"
"Oh, try it then!"
Huang Degong reached out and grabbed the handle of Shizhen's gun, and turned it carefully:
"Da da da……"
Suddenly there was a fierce gunshot, and the Shizhen gun fired six bullets in an instant, and a burst of smoke and dust splashed from the distant gun target.
"My mother, there is such a powerful artifact..."
The Shizhen blunderbuss was activated suddenly, scaring Huang Degong so much that he backed up two steps with a scream.
"Come again..."
But after reacting, Lao Huang burst into ecstasy, rushed up to grab Shizhen's hand and shook it for two weeks.
"Da da da……"
With a burst of intense gunfire, the remaining 22 bullets were fired within a dozen breaths.
More than a dozen bullets hit the gun target, punching more than a dozen holes in the gun target.
After the shock, Lao Huang was as happy as a child, and ran to Zhu Youjian and shouted:
"Your Majesty, the Soaring Dragon Army will equip two thousand-man teams..."
Zhu Youjian looked at the crazy Huang Degong with a smile but not a smile:
"The bullets are all made of copper, equipped with two thousand troops? Do you know the concept?"
Yes, Daming is short of copper, and the Shizhen gun is equivalent to a weakened version of Gatling, and shaking the handle is equivalent to throwing silver.
In the past, Daming would not have been able to use the Shizhen gun at all.
However, after the recovery of Luzon and Ceylon, the situation has completely changed.
The Luzon and Ceylon copper mines can allow the Shizhen gun to shoot unrestrictedly, but the Shizhen gun must be made first.
Although Huang Degong is an old man, he also knows how much Shizhen's gun is consumed.
Reminded by Zhu Youjian, Huang Degong grinned and touched his head, then bowed deeply to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, it's okay to equip the Longteng Army with a thousand-man team. With this artifact, a thousand-man team can overwhelm [-] enemies."
Zhu Youjian glared at Huang Degong angrily:
"It's a good idea. One unit can only be equipped with twenty such firearms. It's not that I'm stingy. There's really no stock right now."
"Twenty is not bad, I thank my emperor, long live long live!"
When Huang Degong was experimenting with Shizhen guns, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong also experimented with Maokang missiles and grenades, as well as three types of mortars that were easy to carry.
Everyone was shocked by the power of Maokang missiles, and they all asked to equip their troops.
But Qi Jiguang is particularly fond of the improved tiger squatting cannon. He has been walking around next to a few copper core iron cannons, asking his subordinates to fire two cannons from time to time.
This kind of tiger squatting gun weighs about 500 to [-] jin, mainly shoots shotgun, and has an effective range of [-] to [-] meters.
Not only is it easy to carry, but it is also more powerful than a mortar at close range.
When the opponent is charging, the effect of the tiger squatting gun is far greater than that of the mortar, and the large-area dense shotgun can turn the enemy into a hornet's nest.
The earliest tiger crouching cannon was originally owned by Qi Jiguang Daming, and now he still has a preference for this.
This kind of tiger squatting cannon shell is a sphere, which is very convenient to load, just insert it from the muzzle and ignite the fuse behind it.
After the shells spew out from the muzzle, the foreskin will burst and the shells will immediately fan out.
After several shooting experiments, Qi Jiguang, who has never been good at expressing himself, gave Zhu Youjian a high thumbs up, and fell in admiration.
With his hands behind his back, Zhu Youjian walked back and forth to observe his cronies testing out new weapons.
Because of confidentiality, these weapons can only be equipped by the elite troops of the Ming Dynasty, and the general army will not be equipped at all.
The North Korean soldiers were not even equipped with rifled guns, let alone missiles and Shizhen guns.
