Wanli Xinming

Chapter 136 Inventory

Due to Zhu Yijun's limited time, Chen Ju, the minister of inner court walking, selected several people from the attendant room, and according to Zhu Yijun's opinion, cooperated with Zhang Jing and others to draft and formulate rules and regulations.

This rectification will reform the Neifu Industrial and Commercial Group from top to bottom.First of all, a financial department was set up in the attendant's room, specially for the emperor's financial management.The Planning and Finance Department has a personnel section, an asset management section, an operation section, a supervision section, and a comprehensive confidential section, with a total of 160 people.

The entire planning and finance department is headed by Zhang Jing, which is similar to the SASAC in later generations, but has much smaller powers and responsibilities than the SASAC.

After the management organization was clarified, Zhu Yijun split the entire group into a steel management group with all steel factories under its jurisdiction; a glass general factory with branch factories and so on.

All these branches have established and improved the independent and self-financing financial system, and adjusted production in accordance with the unified planning of the Accounting and Finance Department.At the same time, strengthen the supervision force of the Planning and Finance Division, and strengthen the supervision of finance and anti-corruption.

Zhu Yijun made every effort to adapt the management methods of later companies to local conditions as much as possible, and put them in the Ming Dynasty.Since this time and space cannot achieve long-distance information communication at this time, in addition to the establishment of branch factories, the raw material providers set up in various mining and material collection places are also separated. After financial independence, free competition will be implemented on a trial basis.

Zhu Yijun knows that even in the 21st century, the performance of large state-owned enterprises cannot compete with that of private enterprises.Therefore, he still devotes most of his energy to technological upgrading. At this stage, he can only use technological means that are a few steps ahead to lead the industrialization of the Wanli Dynasty.

In addition to clarifying the existing Huangchang Huangdian system, Zhu Yijun also invested a lot of energy in weapons production.

In the spring of the fourth year of Wanli, it was not the Jurchen cavalry that captured Dong Baldzi's main force, but the [-] Jizhen Dragoons equipped with front-mounted flintlock muskets.After more than three years of hard work, the upgraded version of the bird gun, including the paper shell fixed charge, was finally finalized and produced, and the first batch of products was handed over to Jizhen.

On the basis of the development of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty jumped to a big step.Basically keep the same rate of progress as the West.During the Longqing period, firearms accounted for half of the Ming army's equipment.Qi Jiguang's troops had an astonishing [-]% ratio of firearms.

Moreover, the firearms unit represented by the Shenji Battalion marked that the strategy and tactics of the entire Ming army were transformed around firearms.What Qi Jiguang said, "To have elite soldiers without the help of elite weapons, is to be strong" and his high emphasis on firearms, and the various tactics he developed, all show that the development of firearms in China is compared with Western countries at this time. Not lagging behind, or even keeping pace.

However, because there was no theoretical guidance, the development of firearms in Ming Dynasty also showed the characteristics of blooming flowers and insufficient power.

After Zhu Yijun crossed over, he quickly pointed out the problem of firearm development. He abolished the manufacture of firearms such as three-eyed guns, swarms of bees, and rocket jets. With bird guns as the foundation, he specialized in gunpowder production, gun tube materials, custom gunpowder, and flint. , after the installation and other directions.

Regarding the direction of improvement of the cannon, Zhu Yijun directed the battle, and worked hard on the artillery medication, gun and barrel material, and air tightness. All in all, like the bird gun, it must shoot farther, reload faster, and be more powerful.

As for the direction of the grenadiers, Zhu Yijun instructed craftsmen to use crude oil products to produce two kinds of products: kerosene bottles and cast iron grenades, one for setting fire and the other for blasting the enemy. .

After three years of hard work, great progress has finally been made in the preparation of gunpowder and iron and steel smelting, and Zhu Yijun's long-term insistence on rewarding skilled craftsmen has stimulated the innovation enthusiasm of craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty. Finally finalized production.

In the way of firing, the gun has improved the self-igniting guns that have been equipped with the Ming army. Unlike the self-igniting guns, it has added a ready-to-fire mechanism to make it more reliable.In addition, in order to prevent rain as much as possible, a faucet cover is added, and the flint can be covered under the cover - only light rain.

In terms of gunpowder, Zhu Yijun initially thought that there was no granular gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty, but later learned that there was, but it was very troublesome to make: it was necessary to manually grind the prepared gunpowder in a wooden tank for [-] times, and then add shochu and mud. , and then milled hundreds of times, and finally made into a medicine cake, and then divided into a cylinder and rolled into pills.

Zhu Yijun certainly couldn't accept this efficiency, but he also didn't know how to improve it -- nor did he have the energy to study it in depth.We can only increase the reward, and finally, under the stimulation of the reward, a craftsman invented a hanging grinding tool:
The wooden frame fixed with iron hoop is fixed with several wooden poles with strong elasticity, and the hand gear is pressed on the side.When the gear is shaken, the elastic rod is driven down to hit the gunpowder in the groove - due to the elasticity of the elastic rod, it will automatically reset, and so on and on, one person can beat dozens of people before.

Later, another craftsman made the hand rocker into a round and wide wheel shape, with grooves inside, and connected with a belt and a waterwheel - directly saving manpower.

With only these two inventions, the two craftsmen directly entered the well-off society.This method of grinding gunpowder, after adjusting the strength, can also be used for pounding rice, so this method was quickly spread across the country.

It is worth mentioning that although the proportion of gunpowder made in Ming Dynasty was close to the optimal proportion, there were still some differences.Zhu Yijun directly gave the answer that later generations of elementary school students knew.He also asked the craftsmen to continue experimenting with the fire door and the cannon, and finally determined that the ratio he gave was completely correct.

In terms of barrels, the material is the best solution.Since Zhu Yijun was in charge of tax collection, he had been to various steel mills—high-end special steel mills, as well as low-end "three high" steel mills, and carefully checked their raw materials and processes to facilitate cost accounting. To clarify whether it was tax evasion, the first material change he brought to Daming was to promote the great development of the steel manufacturing industry.

The new-style sticking steel head that Huo Laoshuan bought at the market is the masterpiece of the Royal Iron and Steel Works.

With wrought iron and steel, the barrel can be made using the coiled tube method.Later, a craftsman invented a concave hammer that aligns up and down. After being driven by animal power or water power, he could directly hammer the rolled thick barrel to thin it. Later, the rifling was hammered by this method, but neither Zhu Yijun nor the craftsman did it. Knowing such knowledge, instead use a steel rod to smooth out the rifling that appears inside the barrel.

The only regret is that the rear-loading gun proposed by Zhu Yijun, because of the lag in chemical development, has not invented effective gunpowder and percussion powder, and is currently in a stagnant state.Seeing that he could not break through for a long time, Zhu Yijun ordered the production of the new version of the Wanli Wanli [-]th type.Previously, what Wang Lihai in Liaodong used was just a test version before finalization.

The Wanli Type [-] is already infinitely close to the classic flintlock gun. There is a clear bar under the barrel, and there is another buckle on the barrel head, which can be installed with a bayonet - a bayonet design for heavy rain.

Because of strict quality management in the entire manufacturing process, this gun finally got rid of the major mistakes in the development of firearms caused by corruption and lax quality management in the original time and space in the late Ming Dynasty.

In this time and space, after repeated quality sampling inspections, the Wanli [-] model can penetrate the Mingguang Chongkai within [-] steps, and finally fully finalize the production.

On the basis of the Wanli Type [-], Zhu Yijun also distributed some "Wanli Type [-]" to some Jinyiwei with a rifled rifle. Because of the shortcomings of the rifled gun and the slow loading of the gun, it was impossible to change the front-loading gun to the rear-loading gun. Solved, so only a thousand shots were produced, used for assassination and future battlefield sniping, while training some sharpshooters.

The [-] cavalrymen from Jizhen brought spears with hooks on the bottom, grenades and new-type cannons, and went to the front of Dong Baldzi and set up the battle.

These first pure musket teams appeared on the Asian continent, aiming the new type of shotgun on the hook of the spear, and using the wheel strike method to draw the first dead line in the history of Chinese civilization on the grassland.Although the musketeers who saw the real chapter for the first time still needed the outflanking cooperation of Li Chengliang's department, Zhu Yijun, who received the good news, knew that what the empire needed now was only the national strength to support the war.

　Press: In the Ming Dynasty, one step was equal to 1.72 meters, and fifty steps were 86 meters.

　　In addition, a few words: Due to Lao Mo's business trip, the update in the early morning of tomorrow cannot be guaranteed, please don't wait.Thank you~
