"We should not break up these people, just assign them according to the town."

Jiao San had obviously thought about this issue long ago, and he explained:

"There are five hundred musketeers in a town, accompanied by sword and shield hands spontaneously formed by the people. Even if Qing soldiers attack, it will be difficult to capture, let alone a mute beast!"

No matter how powerful a tiger is, can it still be able to compete with the Musketeers?

Jiao San continued:

"Your Majesty can take the land to the royal family and mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the name of allocating land."

"In this way, we only need to send 10,000 soldiers to guard Sichuan!"

He said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is the country of Heavenly Palace! If you take this place, it will only take three years to become a place of wealth for us!"

"Do you have a recommended candidate?" Zhu Cijiong was obviously moved.

"Your Majesty, Sichuan strategy can be completed with just an ordinary military general. For such a terrain, your Majesty has explained it when he teaches us again."

"The only important thing is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and a trusted minister needs to be sent to take charge."

Some words cannot be explained by Jiao San.

Sichuan can now be called uninhabited thousands of miles away!

Even the smoke from cooking stoves is not seen in the entire county town.

In such a place, if the sent civil officials are too greedy, they may easily get land in a county!

Jiao San didn't know that in real history, let alone civil officials, the people who migrated to Sichuan at the beginning had obtained thousands of acres of land, and even occupied the fields with wood pieces, and a whole town was circled!

Zhu Cijiong already had a reasonable candidate in his heart.

Are there any more suitable candidates for those who went to Sichuan to be governors besides Zhu Fangdan, the Son Sect?

As for the Ming Dynasty royal family, they could not be officials...

Where did this rumor come from?

After Chengzu, he did raise the royal family as pigs, but by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, restrictions had already been lifted.

The court not only allowed the royal family to make a living, but also allowed the royal family to participate in the scientific research.

It’s just that the imperial examination, which was controlled by civil officials, will not give the royal family a way out!

It was like the Ming Dynasty closed its doors to the country...

In fact, this thing only existed for 120 to 30 years, and compared with the Ming court's nearly three hundred years of national destiny, it was nothing at all.

However, whenever the closing of the country was mentioned, the bottom of the pot was on the head of the Ming court.

In fact, the Ming court did not have the thing of closing the country, he implemented a sea ban.

And who was the Ming court's maritime ban preventing?

Zhu Family!

Yes, read that right!

The main target of defense against maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty was the emperor!

As for the gentry, officials...

Who doesn’t control the fleet and participates in navigation and trade?

The top ten families in Jiangnan all participated in the maritime trade, making a net profit of tens of millions of taels of silver every year!

With such a huge profit, why should we share the Zhu family emperor who was enclosed in a cage equally?

For the sake of his own interests, the gentry of Jiangnan who died of poverty in the Ming Dynasty was finally ruined by the literary inquisition of the Qing court...

This is really rich!

...

Zhu Cijiong inspected the new recruits in Zijing Pass, and leaked his face in front of the soldiers. He personally taught nearly 10,000 new recruits for two days. After planting allegiance to the soldiers in their hearts, he was loyal to him and rushed towards Qifeng Mountain without stopping.

The father-in-law Ding Wei has been waiting for a long time.

On the carriage, looking at the industrial park everywhere, and even a large construction site that spread nearly a hundred miles around Qifeng Mountain, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How many people are doing things here now?"

Ding Wei blurted out without thinking: "Your Majesty, there are more than 500 workshops of various types around Qifeng Mountain, recruiting nearly 40,000 workers, of which 18,000 female workers are vain, and the rest are male workers."

"There are so many people gathered here, and the safety work must be done well. There are so many secrets here. If the Qing spies sneak in, it will be a problem for us!"

"Don't worry, your Majesty!"

Ding Wei laughed: "The real core is on the inside. According to Your Majesty's instructions, I divided the industrial zone into dozens of pieces, each piece was guarded by an independent camp. Ordinary workers are strictly prohibited from roaming."

"In this way, as long as you get involved in the Qing spies, you will inevitably lose your handle."

"Besides, we used different work clothes and waist-baring cards. If someone traveled to the post, you can see it at a glance."

Zhu Cijiong nodded.

The carriage stopped by the waterfall.

Zhu Cijiong looked up and saw that the waterfall was still covered with workshops, and the surroundings were isolated by walls.

On the mail towers, you can clearly see the soldiers carrying guns and ammunition.

"Let's go, I heard you've made the forging method here?"

Zhu Cijiong asked while walking inside.

"I don't know if the talisman meets His Majesty's requirements. We will test it ourselves, and it is indeed much more durable than the casting method!"

The huge roar of the hydraulic punch was clearly heard. After taking the cotton handed over by Ding Wei, Zhu Cijiong stuffed his ears and followed him to the nearest forging workshop.

What is being tested here is the iron mold casting gun method.

In fact, iron mold casting cannons are not as good as sand mold casting cannons.

The fundamental reason is that when the molten iron solidifies, if the speed is slow, the magazine will be slowly discharged, thus forming gray tin.

If an iron mold cast cannon is used, the cooling speed will be too fast, causing impurities to be discharged, thus forming white iron plate.

The mythological iron mold technique is actually just an old antique method used to make agricultural tools during the Han Dynasty.

In terms of quality, cannons forged by sand molds are not comparable to cannons forged by iron molds.

Of course, the iron mold method is not undesirable. This method is fast casting and can be won with quantity.

Of course, if the iron mold process can be improved, it will also be possible to form a gray iron cannon.

What Ding Wei is studying is the technology that Zhu Cijiong gave him.

"Your Majesty, according to your request, the iron we cast cannons is all iron blocks after secondary melting, and then we made some blowers with hydraulic power to heat the furnace blower.

In addition, we used coke as fuel and made the iron cannon. After heating it again, put it on the forging machine to beat it to try to remove impurities from it..."

Following Ding Wei's finger, Zhu Cijiong saw the craftsmen putting a fiery red cannon barrel connected to the iron mold inside and putting it on the forging machine to beat it.

The huge crane is constantly changing its direction under the guidance of hundreds of workers so that the forging machine can beat it in all directions.

"Have you ever tested the performance?"

Zhu Cijiong asked.

"We need to test every gun."

Ding Wei smiled bitterly: "Although this has greatly increased the speed of making artillery, it has more use of manpower!"
