Xiao Ruxun nodded and immediately ordered Wang Hui to start preparing wooden cards and start the first round of exercises, and to see if he could select soldiers with skilled gun skills to be appointed as officers.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, at Zhu Yuanzhang's request, there were ten gunmen in a hundred households, which was considered a mix-up. Xiao Ruxun's idea was to train a gunmen with proficient guns, train them into teams, form strong and dense firepower, form an army alone, and cooperate with the main army to fight. The bird gun team is far from replacing the effects of swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and can only exert its own effect under certain special circumstances. At this time, this is the time.

Moreover, even on the plain, as long as there are enough gunmen and a firm military formation, even if you face the attack of the enemy's heavy cavalry, you can still face the enemy. Combining the combs and spearheaded soldiers may have unexpected effects against the cavalry.

As for later... Xiao Ruxun has achieved certain achievements and fame, he will find ways to improve the flintlock gun and start to study the flintlock gun. After all, the emergence of the flintlock gun is the dawn of the real firearm era.

The injured body was just recovering. Xiao Ruxun had been in action for a long time and felt that he was not energetic, but he still needed to look here all the time, so he walked back and leaned against the station to relieve the pressure. Wang Hui noticed Xiao Ruxun's strangeness and walked to Xiao Ruxun and whispered: "The general's injured body was just recovering. It's better to go back to the house to rest. I have my subordinates here to take care of it."

Xiao Ruxun shook his head slowly: "This matter is of great importance, I must take charge of it myself. It doesn't matter. I can still stand still, but I may not be able to move in the military camp tonight. Ziheng, I will leave the military camp to you at night."

Wang Hui nodded and clasped his fists: "No!"

From then on until the setting sun, the sound of the bird guns was heard endlessly. In the end, Wang Hui also brought a group of soldiers from the reserve team that could replenish the bird guns, and finally selected 300 gunmen who could form combat power. Xiao Ruxun ordered fifty people to be drawn from the four hundred reserve teams as auxiliary soldiers of the bird gun team, and sent the remaining 178 bird guns that could be used, and practice the cooperation method tomorrow.

Before returning to his house, Xiao Ruxun also checked the nearly two-thirds of the bird gun that Wang Hui could not use, and found that not only was the manufacturing method rough, but the barrel that should have been made of fine iron was actually bumpy and bumpy. It would be strange if the guns were not exploded! No wonder Qi Jiguang sighed that the overfire was rough and unusable when he was guarding Ji Town. It was precisely because of this that the Ming army could not realize the military installation with such excellent firearms.

There was a big problem with the Ministry of Works in the Ming Dynasty.

"This kind of bird gun can actually be transported from the warehouse to the border. If it were not discovered early, if it was needed to be discovered during the war, wouldn't it be a big mistake in the military and national affairs? Look, can this gun be used?!"

Xiao Ruxun was furious and threw a scrap bird gun on the ground, then asked the military warehouse quarantine officer: "You are the first person to come into contact with this batch of bird guns. Since you find that there is a problem with the bird gun, why not report it?!"

The quarantine officer hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "General, since the bird guns were found, the imperial court has sent bird guns for 60% of them to be useful in the past years. It is a miracle. At first, we reported that nearly half of the bird guns were unusable and requested to be replaced, but every time it was a stone sank to the sea and there was no news. We were helpless!"

Xiao Ruxun glared at Wang Hui. Wang Hui was the one who managed the firearms troops in his army for two years. Wang Hui looked ashamed and said, "It was not the military officer who deliberately concealed it. It was because we and others were slightest. These bird guns were like this since the bird guns were present. Since the bird guns were present, we have been doing this for decades. Even if we report them to the court, the court would not know how to solve it."

Knowing that they were telling the truth, they also knew that there were big problems with the craftsman system and process system of the Ming Dynasty. Now, all this cannot be solved by Xiao Ruxun. Not to mention that he is a military general and cannot interfere in government affairs, even civil officials, under the oppression of the powerful interest group, even if Zhang Juzheng is as fierce as a man, how could he, a small general, change the overall situation now?

In the 20th year of Wanli, 1592 AD, there were still fifty-two years before the Ming Dynasty was destroyed. In nearly a hundred years, can you do something, change something, and restore the final deterrence of the Ming Dynasty's final destruction? Even if the Ming Dynasty had many mistakes, it was the Han Dynasty. If there was any mistake, it would be the Han Dynasty. Even if it was difficult to return, it would be the Han Dynasty to overthrow and establish a new dynasty. It should not be done. After the internal struggle, it would be thrown to the Qing Tartars!

Xiao Ruxun closed her eyes and then opened it - she was familiar with history books in her previous life. The only regret was that the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by Li Zicheng, but Li Zicheng failed to fulfill his duties and was defeated by the Qing Dynasty in an instant, which was completely embarrassed!

A thief! A thief! What is the face of being a king and an emperor?!

I had no choice in my previous life, but I still had a glimmer of hope in this life. Since this is the case, I will do my best to save the crisis!

Looking down at the batch of defective products and trembling quarantine officers in front of me, my passionate mood was immediately poured with cold water - this road is probably not easier than the road of survival in my previous life...

Sighing, Xiao Ruxun could not help but leave the batch of waste and set off for home.

Back in the mansion, Yang Caiyun had prepared dinner and was waiting for Xiao Ruxun to eat. The dishes were very simple, but one vegetarian and one soup. The war was urgent. It was good to have such a meal. After Xiao Ruxun entered the house and changed into regular clothes, Yang Caiyun brought a bowl of thick porridge: "Xunlang's body was just cured, so he should not eat oil and meat. It's better to eat some porridge and side dishes to nourish his body!"

Xiao Ruxun nodded and took the porridge, showing a smile: "Caiyun, please trouble you."

"How can this be considered troublesome for Xunlang?" Yang Caiyun had a gentle smile on her face, and then a smile of worry flashed on her face: "Xunlang's face is not good, is it military affairs?"

Xiao Ruxun was stunned, then put down the porridge bowl and nodded with a heavy expression: "Even if I keep guarding it hard, I can't prevent the things that are rotten from the root. There are only 478 bird guns available, less than 500. Is the imperial treasury so being wasted? It's a mistake, a military, and a country!"

Yang Caiyun looked worried and said softly: "When I was young, I often heard my father say such things. If one hundred taels of silver is used, it can be used to make thirty taels of use. Even if it is good, the greed of the court is prevalent, and the effect on the top is now a foregone conclusion, and the chief assistant cannot change this kind of thing."

"Oh..." Xiao Ruxun said slowly in a low voice: "It's fine if they are greedy for ink, but they shouldn't be sure. Even the military expenses of the border troops must be deducted. The nine border areas are the key to maintaining the life and death of the Ming Dynasty. If there is any loss in the nine borders, the capital will not be guaranteed, and the capital will not be guaranteed. Those corrupt officials can't get benefits. The reason why they can still be greedy for ink in the court is that the soldiers of the nine borders fight bloody battles so that the thieves cannot enter! But they don't even let go of the military expenses of the border troops. It's really a crime that deserves to be dead!"

Yang Caiyun held Xiao Ruxun's hand and whispered: "Xunlang, don't speak like this. No matter whether it is now or the future, no matter where Xunlang is, don't speak like this."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Yang Caiyun's face full of sorrow, held Yang Caiyun and nodded: "Don't worry, I will never say such words outside. I am really angry today."

Yang Caiyun was relieved only then.

On the second day, Xiao Ruxun put away all the unhappiness yesterday, gazes out all the city, and then comes to the military camp to inspect the military training. This morning, Xiao Ruxun sent someone to the city gate to ask if there were any whistle drivers coming back to report the news, but no whistle drivers returned, which added to Xiao Ruxun's concern.

In the military camp, three hundred gunmen and fifty auxiliary soldiers were fully equipped and waiting for training. As soon as Xiao Ruxun arrived, they spontaneously began to practice target shooting. Since Xiao Ruxun did not use much before, there was a lot of inventory of lead and gunpowder. No matter how many bird guns were shot, they could not be consumed in a short time. Moreover, this kind of thing needs to be practiced more to achieve the level. Xiao Ruxun is not stingy with lead and gunpowder. As long as they can hit the target, they can't hit it. Then Wang Hui had already had a dark face and took a few strong master soldiers with water and fire sticks to serve him.

Today, Xiao Ruxun’s request is no longer simple target shooting training. This is not ordinary training, but training on the front line, and it is important to be fast! What we need to practice today is the method of shooting in the third stage. In fact, with the speed of shooting in the mezzanine, even the most skilled mezzanine cannot guarantee the uninterrupted firepower under the third stage shooting. It will take at least six or even nine stages. However, there are only so many people now, and it is not realistic to do six or nine stages, so it is better to start with the most basic three stage shooting.

The traditional three-stage shooting method contains two meanings. One is three rows of guns, three rows of guns, and after the front row is discharged, they hide behind to load ammunition, and the rear row follows up to fire, and so on. This is the Ming Dynasty's tactic; the other is that only the front row is responsible for firing, the middle is responsible for transmission, and the rear row is responsible for loading, maintaining continuous fire strikes, and the gun is used instead of people. This is Oda Nobunaga's tactic.

Xiao Ruxun chose the first method.
