After most of the military supplies of the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty were handed over to the Royal Military Factory for production, the Royal Military Factory quickly determined the standardized production of various equipment.

Bows, crossbows, three-eyed guns, and bombing cannons (mines) have all begun to be included in the production scope of the Royal Military Factory, and the Royal Military Factory has begun to develop artillery.

Zhu Youxiao issued a transfer order to transfer most of the cannon craftsmen across the country to the Royal Military Factory.

Soon the Royal Military Factory sent a batch of equipment to Liaodong. After Sun Chengzong got these military weapons, he couldn't help but praise them.

The quality of the war knives, tomahawks, spears, and armor produced by the Royal Military Factory is extremely strong. At the same time, the flintlock rifle of the Royal Military Factory has also been welcomed by some soldiers. Compared with the bird gun, the flintlock rifle is much more convenient to operate, and has excellent quality and strong lethality.

The crossbow has received great praise.

The bows and arrows of the Royal Military Factory are made of northern hardwood, the horns are made of southern cow horns, and the bows are made of beef tendon, and the materials are all the best.

After making a bow like this, the cost is about ten taels. The highest cost is naturally the buffalo horn. The best buffalo horn is equivalent to the price of a cow.

The bows in the north and the bows in the south have their own advantages and disadvantages. The bows in the north are better, while the bows are mostly made of bamboo and other materials. The horns in the south are better, while the horns in the north can only be of poorer quality.

Only a few batches of crossbows were made. The power of the Ming Dynasty was not as powerful as that of the Song Dynasty. It was mainly influenced by the banned crossbows of the Yuan Dynasty. At the same time, after the emergence of firearms, it also replaced the function of crossbows to a certain extent. The launching mechanism of crossbows was simpler than that of the previous dynasties. The pulling force and range of this kind of crossbows were far inferior to that of the Tang and Song dynasties. However, the crossbows made by the Royal Military Factory were still stronger than those of the Westerners in terms of performance.

The Royal Military Factory has many craftsmen, and there are also a lot of craftsmen who can make crossbows. When it comes to crossbows, they are still relatively advanced in China at this time.

The Europeans used the steel crossbow of winch at this time, and the power of the Qin Dynasty was actually only at the level of China's Qin Dynasty. However, just such a level of crossbow arrows drove the Europeans crazy and formed an increasingly exaggerated plate armor.

The reason why Western steel crossbows have poor performance is mainly because steel is the worst in terms of power accumulation. In fact, the protection ability of plate armor is not as good as that of Chinese armor.

Although the board armor protects the whole body, it is actually only two or three centimeters thick. The area of ​​the arrow is very small and it is very easy to penetrate the board armor. Because the board armor has no room for spiral, it will be shot through once it exceeds the bearing range. In contrast, with the structure of the piercing armor and scale armor, the arrows are shot on the iron sheet, and the iron sheet will be pushed backwards. There is a buffering process, and a piece of iron sheet is pushed on the body, which will at most hurt.

Therefore, the Westerners' plate armor was completely unsuitable for the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.

When Westerners make plate armor, they can only say that their minds are more stubborn. Because Westerners use logical thinking and are used to associating one line. China uses analogy thinking, like a face. Compared with logical thinking, analogy thinking is obviously a more advanced way of thinking.

This kind of thinking difference can be seen from later mobile phone operating systems. Western mobile phones, such as photo processing functions, must enter from the camera. Domestic mobile phones will put these infrequently used functions in a toolbox, or can also enter from the camera.

Therefore, Chinese people who are used to analogy thinking will not be able to adapt more or less when they first come into contact with foreign operating systems.

Although the Europeans' analogy thinking is lower, they also have their advantages. For example, when fighting, they cannot conquer a military fortress, so what the Europeans think is whether the artillery is not powerful enough? So they ran back and studied the more powerful artillery.

If the Chinese used analogy to think about problems, they would turn their attention to the inside of the fortress and use political and diplomatic techniques to dismantle the enemy, or simply find ways to circumvent them and attack the rear of the enemy's fortress.

It is normal for a 'righteous' Westerner to create a weird plate armor.

On Pi Island, the Pi Island Pi Island Pier has been repaired at this time and can dock more than ten large ships at the same time. The first batch of weapons and equipment has also been transported, basically all of which are flintlock rifles, battle knives, battle axes, long spears, and armor-piercing equipment.

However, Mao Wenlong, who received this batch of equipment, was overjoyed. He had never seen so many well-built equipment in Liaodong for so many years.

Especially the flintlock rifle, the quality is extremely high. After trying it, there is no blow-off, and it is much more convenient to fire than the combroach. This surprised Mao Wenlong and said in confusion: "I didn't expect that this batch of military weapons would be so sophisticated."

Speaking of the articles of the Hanlin Academy, the swords and guns of the Arsenal, the tea soup of Guanglu Temple, and the prescriptions of the Imperial Hospital, it is known as the four major jokes in the capital, which is a disproportionate story of the name and reality.

As long as it is a military weapon sent from the capital, firearms are the most dangerous and are often blown up as soon as they are used. Other bows and arrows can be changed into one.

"This was built by the Royal Military Factory and was established by the Emperor himself." Zhang Yan said to Mao Wenlong.

"With these military weapons, it is no problem to form a strong army. If we follow the emperor's strategy to fight against the enemy, our Dongjiang army will definitely be invincible in the mountains." Mao Wenlong said to Zhang Yan with joy and full of confidence.

"That depends on General Mao." Zhang Yan didn't know much about the battlefield, and the emperor also told him not to interfere in the command of the army, so Zhang Yan now only cared about military discipline.

A large amount of supplies were transported to Pi Island, and Mao Wenlong's conscription activities were also launched quickly. He selected young and strong people from the island to form the Dongjiang Army.

Mao Wenlong was naturally confident that he would defeat the wild boar skin. In fact, the combat effectiveness of wild boar skin these days is just like that. It’s just that the Ming army was too bad in terms of weapons, equipment, discipline and logistics. The soldiers were not full, were not warm in clothes, and had no discipline. How could they fight with wild boar skin?

At this time, we need money and food. Moreover, the soldiers have a deep hatred for wild boar skins and have strong enough cohesion. As long as we grasp military discipline, there will be no problem.

Not long after, the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Camp was transferred to Dongjiang Town, with a total of 10,000 troops. Many soldiers of the Beijing Camp vomited in a sensation at the sea and looked a little listless. After resting on the island for a few days, they soon became full of energy.

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Division was named Zhang Kuotu, who was the best among the five infantry divisions of the Beijing camp. The Fifth Infantry Division was a little higher than the other four infantry divisions in overall training, so it was valued by Zhu Youxiao. This time, the task of fighting with Jiannu fell on the head of the Fifth Infantry Division.

This is an army that has not been tested by war. Zhang Kuotu was a little nervous and also had some desire. After all, this is an opportunity to make achievements.

With the arrival of the Fifth Infantry Division of the Beijing Battalion, more than 30 Jinyiwei were also responsible for assisting Mao Wenlong in building an intelligence system.

The last thing came was that the elite selected from Jiubian were not collected at night. The military households in Jiubian were not easy to live. The emperor offered military pay of 5 taels per month, attracting a large number of soldiers to participate in the selection. Finally, these thousands of people were selected. If these nights were not collected, they would become the main force of the "guerrilla army". When they arrived in Dongjiang Town, they would be grassroots officers. Those who performed well would become senior officers and their military pay would be increased.

The personnel, food, and equipment arrived one after another, and the Dongjiang Army began to be formed quickly.

Zhang Yan didn't care about how Mao Wenlong formed a tactical army. But Zhang Yan quickly allowed Mao Wenlong to see what strict military law meant.

The military political commissar and instructor are responsible for maintaining military discipline, and the law enforcement team is responsible for implementing it.

The people on the island were also properly resettled. All the old and weak on the island were sent to land for cultivation. Twenty thousand people were selected from the young and strong who could fight were used to form the Dongjiang Army. The rest were also allocated to cultivate land, and the more than a dozen islands that Mao Wenlong recovered were planted.

The remaining people were transferred to Northern Zhili by fleets and arranged to cultivate in the imperial village. Orphans and widows were sent to the capital. Zhu Youxiao established a "royal orphanage" in the capital, which specifically took in orphans from all over the country.

These people's resettlement work were all handled by a large number of coordinators brought by Zhang Yan this time. With the assistance of the Denglai Navy, the entire Dongjiang Town quickly became well organized.

The Dongjiang Army that is being formed can also be regarded as a new army. When this army was formed, it was intervened by Zhu Youxiao. Sufficient combat supplies and strict military laws are different from the traditional Ming army.

This new army is taking shape quickly.
