Chapter 1159 Armament
"I really never dreamed that Dasong will have the grand scene today."
Looking at the night sky dyed yellow by the lights, Dong An sighed.
When this prosperous scenery was fascinating to him, he walked by him alone and looked at him, looking at him but he didn't dare to recognize him.
Dong An was stunned. This person was none other than the head of the Military Affairs Department, and Wang Ying, the current Director of the Military Industry Department.
Maybe he had gone on a long journey and became dark and thin, and he didn't recognize it.
So he grabbed Wang Ying and said, "Director Wang, it's me, Dong An."
"I said who this person is? Why do you look so familiar? It turned out to be you. You are finally back. I will invite you to drink tomorrow. Now, while the emperor has not returned yet, I have to report back to the emperor's important matters." Wang Ying looked hurriedly.
When Dong An heard this, he guessed something.
Just now, when he was chatting with the emperor, the emperor raised his mouth.
It is said that the Military Industry Department is ready to show him the recent military achievements.
Wang Ying probably is for this matter.
After all, Wang Ying is a honest person. Unlike some people in the officialdom who are accustomed to worldly affairs, it depends on whether the official position is beneficial to his own relationship.
Thinking of this, he bowed to Wang Ying and smiled, "Then I will wait for you to invite you at home tomorrow."
"Sure, certain." Wang Ying also bowed his hand and turned around and headed towards the palace.
When Dong An returned home, Wang Yingwuduo arrived at the imperial study room.
At this time, Zhao Xu stretched out and was about to return to the harem.
His work and rest time is the same as that of the officials in the outer palace. He has a fixed time period, which can be said to be a standard commute.
Unless there is something important, the ministers are also very conscious and will not disturb him during the rest.
"Wang Ying meets the emperor." When Wang Ying saw Zhao Xu, he bowed and presented a booklet, and said, "Your Majesty, this is the category of muskets and artillery to be displayed by the Military Industry Department tomorrow, as well as the schedule."
Zhao Xu nodded and took over the booklet from Wang Ying.
Today he was waiting for Wang Ying to come all day long.
Dong An also mentioned that Britain imitated the rifle after installing it, which made him look forward to this display.
Moreover, after Dasong developed the post-loading gun and the post-loading gun, he did not interfere with the research and construction affairs of the Military Industry Department.
Because this level of muskets and cannons are enough to crush the western land.
Furthermore, the Military Industry Department has also established an independent research and development system, and he has determined the general direction and will not make any mistakes.
The progress of muskets and cannons is just a step-by-step process.
It is precisely for this reason that Wang Ying did not introduce the progress of muskets and cannons to him as frequently as before.
Instead, I kept accumulating it, repeatedly experimenting and showing it to him when the technology matures.
"Okay, tomorrow I will take the generals of the Defense Department to watch together." Zhao Xu said with a smile.
Gu Lu
The Military Industry Department is no longer in Yancheng, but has moved into the mountains north of Yancheng.
There is a dedicated railway leading there.
Wang Ying also took a steam locomotive to Yancheng.
"Then I will prepare for it now when I go back to prevent mistakes. I have been covering it for so long, and I can't make jokes at that time." Wang Ying has always been rigorous in his work. Although he was well prepared, he was still a little worried.
After saying that, he left Zhao Xu and went back at night.
The next day, Zhao Xu asked Xiao Guizi to call the Defense Department early in the morning and asked Chang Wei, Yang Feng and others to set off with him.
Although the strength of an army cannot rely entirely on weapons, weapons are definitely essential for a strong army.
The Western natives relied on their small population and were rampant in the world for three hundred years, relying on their strong ships and powerful guns.
At present, Dasong's population is not large.
Among them, the valuable young and strong resources are mainly used for industrial development.
In this way, Dasong cannot maintain a huge army.
In the past, in order to drive the Western natives out of the Eastern Land and stabilize the situation in the Eastern Land, he hurriedly expanded his troops, so that the Dasong army almost reached 600,000 permanent troops.
This number is too much for him.
Next, he was preparing to reduce his army and maintain the number of standing troops at around 300,000.
After all, Dasong has now implemented the conscript system.
If a large-scale war occurs, these reserves will be recruited again.
And his confidence in reducing the army is progress in weapons.
In this way, by taking advantage of its weapons, the Dasong army can achieve its goals in a small number of troops.
Just like the Western natives, they could occupy a country in just three to five thousand.
Thinking about these things all the way, the steam locomotive drove into Yanshan Mountains north of Yanzhou and finally stopped at the location of the Military Industry Department.
Chang Wei and Yang Feng are not unfamiliar with this place, and are even very familiar with it.
They deal a lot with the Military Industry Department for military preparation on weekdays.
"This King Yingshen has been mysterious for so many days, I don't know what he has done."
Under the guidance of the military industry officials, everyone arrived at the weapons school.
Looking at the weapons covered by black cloth in the school grounds, Yang Feng wished he could see through at this moment.
Chang Wei's eyes were full of excitement and he kept rubbing his hands.
The rise of the power industry and the emergence of many power industry products make them naturally look forward to weapons.
Today, after Dasong entered the power industry, the Military Industry Department finally showed them guns and cannons completely manufactured by the power industry for the first time.
