    Someone may ask, since the Qing army attached so much importance to firearms, why did they not develop firearms after the founding of the Qing Dynasty?

    In fact, the reason is very simple, because it was a coincidence that the Manchus entered Shanhaiguan. Even when they first entered Shanhaiguan, they themselves did not realize that the Aixinjueluo family could rule the world, and the most terrible thing is that the Aixinjueluo family could dominate the world.  In fact, it was the Han who defeated them. Otherwise, with the number of people in the Qing Dynasty at that time, if they wanted to conquer the whole of China, they would be exhausted and unable to do so.

    Therefore, after the founding of the country, the Manchu dignitaries were most afraid of being driven out by the Han people, so they tried their best to boast that the Manchu cavalry and archery were unparalleled, and deliberately belittled the role of firearms in their battles. Over time, even they themselves believed it.  .

    The reason why the Manchu dignitaries did this is because compared to bows and arrows, the production cycle of firearms is short. The production cycle of a good bow is almost two to three years, while a musket only takes half a month.

    The most terrible thing is that the operation of firearms is simple, and the training of firearms soldiers is even simpler. Compared with archers who need more than a year of training, firearms soldiers generally only need ten days to complete the training, and they can be proficient in using firearms in one month!

    In this case, if firearms are widely used in the army, the Green Camp Han army, which accounts for the majority of the Qing army, will have an absolute advantage in force. In that case, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as a minority, will completely dominate the Central Plains.  Lose the foundation of your footing.

    Therefore, in order to preserve their wealth and wealth, the Manchu dignitaries chose to eliminate firearms from the army. In their view, bows, arrows, swords, and spears were enough to deal with the rebellious Han and Mongols, not to mention that they still retained their power.  Huge artillery.

    It would be too unsafe to equip the army with so many muskets. Adhering to this idea, Comrade Kangxi, who was known as the one emperor through the ages, also sent Dai Zi, who invented the twenty-eight serial muskets, to  Went to play in the mud at Ninggu Pagoda in Northeast China!

    In the original history, the Ming Dynasty, which had lost its advantage in firearms, had only one battle that could be considered victorious in the entire Tianqi Dynasty, and that was the Ningyuan Defense Battle. In this battle, Yuan Chonghuan not only defended Ningyuan City, but also used artillery to inflict injuries.  Damn Nurhaci!

    This was also the last time the Ming army won a victory in a battle against the Jurchens. During the following Chongzhen years, the Ming Dynasty almost became the granary of the Jurchens. People came and left as they wanted, and the Ming army had no way to do it.

    But because a thunderstorm struck Zhu Youxiao, history naturally changed. Now the Ming Dynasty has a wise and martial little emperor, as well as an army that has undergone modern training. The only thing missing is,  Equip this army with modern weapons!

    But that day is not far away, because when solving the problem of sabers, Zhu Youxiao taught the craftsmen in the manufacturing office the techniques of earthen blast furnaces and impact hammers. This not only solved the problems of sabers and armors, but also  Solved the material problem of muskets and artillery!

    With qualified and easy-to-produce steel and power machine tools, the craftsmen in the manufacturing office soon tinkered with drilling machines and milling machines. In fact, drilling and milling are common techniques used by blacksmiths, but in the past there was no steel with enough hardness.  There are no power machine tools for making drill bits and cutting tools, so drilling and milling are basically done by hand!

    Because these two processes are too time-consuming and laborious, blacksmiths would not use them unless absolutely necessary. However, with qualified steel drills, steel knives and labor-saving machine tools, these two processes were immediately used in the production of firearms.  !

    Although the artillery has to be made by casting because of its large caliber, the improvement of steel-making technology and the improvement in quality have made the casting of artillery easier. Now the Firearms Workshop of the Manufacturing Office has cast 200 kilograms of artillery.  The heavy all-steel Franco machine cannon is being prepared to cast a 500-pound general cannon. With these two kinds of artillery, the Ming army will realize the field artillery!

    Compared with the difficulty of craftsmanship of artillery, muskets are easier to handle. It originally required rolling layers of iron sheets, but now it is just an iron rod and a drill bit connected to a power machine tool. It only takes a day to drill.  A qualified barrel is produced, and it is much smoother and more durable than a rolled barrel!

    At present, there are at least 500 such power machine tools in operation in the firearms workshop of the Manufacturing Office, and the number of machine tools is increasing every day. Zhu Youxiao's goal is to install at least a thousand units, but even so, every machine in the Manufacturing Office  Yue can still make three thousand qualified flintlock muskets!

    Zhu Youxiao believed that as long as the output of muskets reached 10,000 pieces per month, he could start a war to clean up the northern border troubles. At that time, with infantry equipped with advanced firearms and powerful cavalry, Zhu Youxiao believed that the Ming Dynasty General  Start a new era!

    "Everyone! Everyone! Let'sWhen you come out and make friends through literature, don't let the disputes of words hurt your friendship!  "

    "This person is full of nonsense, I am ashamed to be associated with him!"

    "Huh! Am I talking nonsense? You are the one who talks about hypocrisy, and I am even more ashamed to be associated with a hypocrite like you!"

    "You say I am a hypocrite? Even if I lay down my life today, I will fight with you!"

    Just when Zhu Youxiao was thinking happily, a quarrel woke him up. Zhu Youxiao looked up and saw that he had entered the city. There were five or six scholar-looking people arguing in front of him. Two of them were about to  A fight is about to begin!

    Zhu Youxiao took a closer look and found that there were two of these scholars whom he knew. These two were the Ning family brothers and sisters whom he had met in the Imperial College.

    Later, Zhu Youxiao found out that these two brothers and sisters were the children of Ning Ximing, the head of the Ministry of Etiquette. The elder brother was named Ning Shiwei. He was only twenty years old this year, but he was already the governor of Beizhili. Next year will be the second year of Tianqi.  It¡¯s time to take the Qiuwei exam.

    The younger sister, that cunning and bold little girl, is called Ning Xi. She is sixteen years old this year. Although she is a girl, she has been reading the Four Books and Five Classics since she was a child. It is said that Ning Ximing said more than once that if Ning Xi was a boy, Ning Xi would be a girl.  There will be a champion in the family!

    Although these words were spoken by Ning Ximing sincerely because of his love for his daughter, the word "xi" in Ning Xi's name is the same as the word "xi" in Ning Ximing's name, which shows how much Ning Ximing loves his daughter. No wonder  The little girl from Ningxi always disguises herself as a woman and runs out to have fun!

    Now that he saw an acquaintance, Zhu Youxiao couldn't just watch the excitement and ignore other things, so he immediately stepped forward and said: "You are all scholars. If you have anything to do, you can just fight in literature or martial arts. Why are you making noise in the street?  How is this inappropriate?"

    Although Zhu Youxiao was wearing casual clothes, he was riding a horse, carrying a sword, and had powerful attendants beside him. He looked like he was no ordinary person. When the noisy scholars saw him, they immediately divided into two sides and looked at Zhu Youxiao!

    At this glance, Ning Shiwei's face turned green. He recognized at a glance that it was the current emperor who came, and he suddenly felt a pain in his butt!

    When he was in the Imperial College, his father Ning Ximing found out about Ning Xi's quarrel with Zhu Youxiao, so he slapped him twenty times without saying a word, while his sister who caused trouble was only in the show building.  He was banned for half a month, and although the incident passed calmly afterwards, his father has never given him a good face until now!

    Today, I originally wanted to go out for a drink and chat with some friends who were going to take the exam next year. Unexpectedly, my little sister found out about it somehow and insisted on following her. As an older brother, he couldn't resist it, so he had to do it again.  I brought Ning Xi out, but I didn¡¯t expect to meet the emperor again this time!

    Thisthisthis is really a narrow road for enemies!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
