I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"I have two ways of fighting, Your Majesty, please see."
As Chen Ce said, he turned his head to look at the field, and said loudly: "In battle against the enemy, how about holding up a large formation and seeking victory with one blow?"
"Array!" A boss in the queue shouted loudly.
The remaining two chief executives all understood what order Chen Ce had issued, so they immediately commanded the headquarters to take action, and the three thousand bird gunners were divided into three rows.
Until now, what Zhu Youxiao has seen is the extended, widened and upgraded version of the three-stage strike.
But soon, the results of this military reform came.
Hundreds of chariots were pushed to the field by the infantry of the Yongwei Battalion, known as "the all-victory chariot", which was upgraded and remanufactured by the Armament Department based on the main box chariot used by the famous general Qi Jiguang during the Jiajing period.
At the beginning of the month, the Military Weapons Department invited Mao Yuanyi, a well-known chariot expert in the world, as a senior craftsman to assist him in editing the new version of "Wu Bei Zhi", and promised that once the book was completed, the emperor would be invited to publish it in the "Beijing News".
Under the guidance of Mao Yuanyi, the Armament Department reclassified dozens of types of tanks from the Ming Dynasty, eliminated most of them, and left the tank types with remarkable achievements in actual combat for upgrading and restructuring.
Each of the remaining chariots has its own specialized arms and tactics. This new type of "Total Victory Chariot" is specially developed for line tactics. It cooperates with musketeers and plays a protective role in combat. .
The side of the Quansheng chariot is equipped with a giant shield, which is made of iron birch wood transported to Beijing from the borders of Liaodong and North Korea. Can't hurt a bit.
The wheels of the chariot are made of balsa wood from the tropical rain forest transported from Manila Island. This kind of wood is the lightest wood in the world, but its structure is relatively hard. It is suitable for wheels and other parts of the chariot.
It is precisely because of the expansion of Ming's colonies in Manila and other places that the Armament Department has many raw materials to choose from. The Victory Chariot is not only light in weight, but the shield made of iron birch can also ensure the safety of the musketeers inside.
Each chariot of Quansheng can carry twenty musketeers and ten infantrymen. The most important thing is that it weighs no more than three stones and can be carried by five or six people when encountering obstacles.
According to the Ordnance Department, the cost of this car is low, especially balsa wood, which is inexhaustible on Manila Island, and only iron birch shields are relatively scarce.
After the actual combat test, the All-Victory Chariot cooperates with the firearms troops to fight, and the effect is remarkable.
In wartime, dozens or even hundreds of chariots can be connected side by side, with a large number of musketeers forming a chariot formation, and infantry and musketeers cooperate. This is the first method of warfare proposed by Chen Ce.
This is not the line formation that Zhu Youxiao gave him, but another one that Chen Ce came up with based on the combat experience of the existing Ming army.
Compared with the past, the musketeers of the Ming army were almost completely exposed to the sight of the local cavalry and archers, shooting with courage, this tactical improvement is extremely significant.
Chen Ce saw that the infantry and musketeers were all hiding in the chariots, and when he gave an order, the field was full of gunshots, roaring and deafening.
Afterwards, hundreds of infantry from the Yongwei Battalion equipped with pointed spears rushed out of dozens of victory vehicles, and launched a stabbing attack on the false enemy cavalry ahead.
The spears used by these soldiers were also specially made for chariot battles. They were only equipped by infantry on the victory chariots and would not be equipped on a large scale by the Ming army in various places.
Chen Ce looked in front of him, turned around and said:
"Your Majesty, if our army wants to fight in the future, if it is hopeless and disadvantageous, the cooperation of infantry, chariots and musketeers is only one of them. We must also learn the organizational system of Qi's army, so that each army has a dedicated medical officer and a supply team."
"The most important thing is the cavalry. We need to form a cavalry specially equipped to cooperate with the infantry in field battles. In this way, we will be invincible. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Youxiao heard the words, thought carefully for a while, and said:
"The cavalry is not bad. At present, all the Mongolian tribes have surrendered to me. The best war horses that are enshrined every year are kept as well. It is not bad to use them to form the cavalry."
"Then this cavalry is called...the Quansheng cavalry."
Chapter 817 If you can't buy it, just grab it
"Go forward!"
Chen Ce yelled loudly, and three thousand pickers stepped forward again. This time, he increased the width of the line.
The 500 bird musketeers formed a team of [-] each, and formed two horizontal lines. Soon, there was a roar in the field, and [-] lead bullets from quick-firing muskets fired intensively at the straw men in front. .
Soon, the straw man became riddled with holes.
In such a dense line of shooting, not one of the hundreds of straw men was not shot with a lot of lead bullets. The line tactic is actually an upgraded version of the three-stage attack tactic.
Originally, the three-stage attack of the Ming army was too long in depth but not wide enough. Zhu Youxiao listed a false battle situation for Chen Ce in his handwriting, and asked him to reduce the depth and increase the width to try.
To put it bluntly, this military reform is aimed at the firearms troops of the Ming Army. In addition to the first type of mixed vehicle-battalion tactics, it redefines the depth and width of the three-stage strike.
In the future, Zhu Youxiao will also ask the Ministry of War to draw up a "Bird Gun Line Tactical Manual", which will be published by the Beijing News and sent to Jiubian first.
Zhu Youxiao thought that the "Bird Gun Line Tactics Manual" should be revised every three years, after which it must become customized.
From the date of the publication of the Code of Operations, the formal firearms units of the Ming Dynasty Army must reorganize, train and fight accordingly.
In the past, the musketeers were disorganized, and the musketry units of the official army in various places were often used as auxiliary units. There was no real military uniform, and even the quality of the guns was uneven.
As the first drill code in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty that officially targeted the musketeers, this just shows that the musketeers have truly become the main force in the Ming army from an appendage.
When the Code of Practice is released, Zhu Youxiao will order Yousi to issue new uniforms for the official army musketry units. The guns used by all the musketry units on the Nine Sides will be recycled by the Ordnance Department in batches and replaced with the latest ones. Then fire the bird gun.
Historically, European line infantry was very expensive, so the depth was reduced, the width was increased, and the power of a volley of guns was increased.
But for Daming, this is not a difficult problem.
Zhu Youxiao has a lot of people and money in Ming Dynasty, so Suifa gun has been popularized for many years, and it is no longer a rare item in the army.
The Yongwei Battalion can continue to select strikers from the nine sides, and expand the number of gunmen in the Firearms Battalion to 2, or even [-].
In large-scale battlefields, every [-] Sui-firing musketeers form a line, and the width will be several times that of the previous Ming army. They form ten lines, and use three-stage strike tactics to conduct continuous intensive firepower.
A firearms force of 2 people can form more than ten rows of such a line of firearms, which is enough to keep the suppressive firepower continuous and uninterrupted.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, there wouldn't be any army in the world that could block such a large-scale shooting.
If there is, coupled with the chariot battalion and cavalry units proposed by Chen Ce, to carry out multi-army coordinated operations, the Ming army will have no disadvantages!
"Chen Ce, you did a good job, I'm so relieved!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, walked to the front of the stage, looked at the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who were looking over neatly, and said loudly:
"This military reform, Chen Aiqing got the order from me. It seems that the three-stage strike can no longer be used, and it must be changed into a ten-stage strike! Its width must be increased several times!"
"I want to expand the number of gunners in the Yongwei Battalion on a large scale, form a cavalry team of complete victory, and recruit all over the world to recruit brave talents who are skilled in bows and horses."
"Back to the palace!"
"Long live! Long live!" Seeing the emperor and his party leaving the martial arts arena, Chen Ce finally breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured to the side:
"It seems that firearms will be the main force in combat in the future."
The deputy general on the side nodded and said: "We have all seen the power of firepower in combat. Your Majesty's vigorous development of firearms is a wise move."
"It's just..." Speaking of this, he chuckled, "Governor, we are all old men of the Valiant Guards Battalion, the captain of the Quansheng cavalry team is short..."
Seeing the lieutenant general's appearance, Chen Ce also smiled and said, "Don't be ridiculous, the Quansheng cavalry team will be formed in various places on the Nine Sides, and the best of the best will be selected. If you really want to be this poor, you have to rely on your ability to win."
The lieutenant nodded, still smiling, but his eyes looked very serious.
……
As soon as he returned to Xinuang Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao told the eunuch Wang Chengen of Si Libingbi's ideas one by one, and asked him to draw up several orders.
"This one, you send to the Ministry of War and the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, and ask them to work with Chen Ce to draft the "Bowgun Line Tactical Exercise Code", and then submit it to me for review."
"You send this to the cabinet and announce it to the world." Zhu Youxiao leaned on the throne and said: "Quansheng Cavalry, don't push it to the whole country, try it on the Nine Sides."
"There is also this military reform, all of which will be tested in Jiubian first, then implemented in Jifu, and then extended to the guards across the country."
Wang Chengen nodded unhurriedly, and said: "Your Majesty, if you have any orders, all the slaves and maidservants will be informed by the Supervisor of Rites."
Zhu Youxiao raised his hand and said with a smile:
"There is really one thing, I think, since the Musketeers must be formally established, the Musketeers must be reorganized in various places, recruit candidates, and have their own armor and banners."
"You send someone to the 24 Yamen, no matter whether they were working for the prince or the palace before, let me stop for a while."
"Let them first produce 20 sets of standard uniforms, bells and drums, and flag battles for the musketeers and the all-victorious cavalry. They must be different from those of the infantry and have the characteristics of the musketeers. I will inspect them in person when I am done."
"Standard armor, I leave it to the Armament Department to design. It's not just good looking, it has to be practical. Manila, Franji, Netherlands, Britain...the goods from these places are up to them to choose, what is not enough to buy, I am now the best All that’s missing is money.”
"If it's too scarce, tell me where the source of that thing is, and if you can't buy it, I'll send the Denglai Navy to snatch it and build a maritime trade route."
"Did you understand?" Zhu Youxiao looked at the bewildered Wang Chengen, showing dissatisfaction. The latter heard the words and said quickly:
"Listen, I understand, the slaves will remember everything."
"Come on, repeat it to me!"
Zhu Youxiao stared at Wang Chengen with a dark face for a while, unexpectedly, this kid really remembered everything. This memory is really not bad.
After Wang Chengen finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao's face changed from cloudy to sunny, and he said with relief:
"If there is not enough manpower for the Supervisor of Rituals this time, we can go to Wang Tiqian's Imperial Horse Supervisor to gather people together, and there is no need to give him any good looks. These days, he runs more in various ministries and urges them frequently. If they don't urge them, they don't know what to do. live."
"Military reform is a top priority."
Wang Chengen nodded quickly, thinking about what the emperor said, he hurried out of Xinuang Pavilion to the Supervisor of Rituals, found the eunuchs who were on duty, and ordered them one by one.
Not long after he left, Wei Zhongxian walked in and said nervously:
"My lord, we have found out about the matter of the Confucian Mansion. It is of great importance. The servants do not dare to specialize, so please ask the emperor to judge."
Zhu Youxiao had long held back his energy and wanted to run the Confucian Mansion, and gave the rumormongers a head-on blow. Hearing this, the excited expression on his face darkened, he tapped his fingers on the table, nodded and said:
"Tell me, I'm in charge of everything, and report all the shitty things that the Confucian Mansion has done over the years."
Wei Zhongxian walked in, ordered Chao Fuping to retreat Xiaoxie, and also signaled him to go out. When only the emperor and himself were left in the Nuan Pavilion, he said:
"Wei Ximeng went to the Confucian Mansion to get the Confucian Family Instructions. In the past few months, the fans have compared them word by word, and found a lot of coincidences with "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" and "Da Ming Hui Dian", and announced to the world accordingly, It is enough to be used as evidence of the Confucian government's usurpation!"
"My lord, although the Kong family is a saint, the family precepts are so similar to the royal ancestors' precepts. Doesn't this mean that you have no dynasty and compare yourself to the emperor?"
In fact, why compare yourself to the emperor, in the eyes of the Confucius family, although the Zhu family is the royal family at the moment, they are just passers-by in the world.
In the past dynasties, Li, Tang, Meng, Yuan, Zhao and Song, and even today's Zhu Ming, have experienced ups and downs, but they, the Kong family, have lasted for thousands of years and should be the largest family in the world.
Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, as long as you can deal with him if you have an excuse, what's next? You Dongchang won't just find out this little thing, so let's get straight to the point!"
"The Confucian Mansion has close contacts with the Lu Wang Mansion. I found out that Lu Wang's family, including the main family, has many branches and branches that are related to the Kong family."
"One of these two families is in Yanzhou, the other is in Qufu, one uses Wang Tian as an excuse, and the other uses the sacrifice land and school land allocated by the imperial court as an excuse to enclose a large area of land in Shandong."
"Only the Confucian Mansion occupies more than [-] hectares of land, and the Lu Wang Mansion may be even more! This old slave clearly remembers that Grandpa Taizu once had a decree that the land of the Confucian Mansion should not exceed [-] hectares."
"Based on this, the Confucian Mansion can be destroyed!"
After finishing speaking, Wei Zhongxian prostrated himself on the ground and said nothing more.
Zhu Youxiao also took a deep breath. He thought that Kong's shop was terrible, but he didn't expect that they had occupied so many official and private lands openly and secretly.
No wonder Qufu, a county comparable to a state, is so poor.
This is really a malignant tumor in the world. The one who is poisoned keeps them only in harm but not in their own interests. Up to now, it is finally proved to be iron-clad and indestructible!
Chapter 818 Apocalypse Zhu Kong
After what happened last time, the entire Kong family became panic-stricken all day long.
In particular, Li Jing, who is known as one of the three great sages in Guanzhong, was slapped in the face by Li Xin, a little-known lecturer at the Imperial College in Nanjing, in front of Confucius's mansion.
This kind of thing, the shock to the academic world is not insignificant.
However, the Confucian government doesn't care about Li Jing's affairs at all. Since the last incident, Dongchang, the thing that the wealthy businessmen and wealthy families in the world avoid, has been eyeing the Confucian government.
Wei Ximeng confiscated the book "Kong's Family Rituals" from the Confucian mansion, and then disappeared for several months. The Confucian mansion also made many inquiries, but still failed to get any news.
Just when they all thought that Dongchang would not come back again, "Beijing News" published a major event. This issue of Beijing News is all about the Kong family.
The Beijing News directly aired full ironclad evidence, and compared the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun", "Daming Huidian" and "Kong Family Rituals", and found a lot of consistent content.
The family rules of the Confucian family are so similar to the royal family's ancestral precepts. Isn't this despising the royal family and trespassing?
That's right, what Zhu Youxiao played with the Kong family this time was literal prison, using the biggest crime to get the most ruthless reason for copying the Kong family.
This action will make the whole world speechless!
Just being contemptuous of the royal family is not enough. No matter what the ironclad evidence is, if you want to raid the Kong family, it will cause opposition from scholars all over the world, so Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to let these people support him.
If one class is abandoned, several other classes must be drawn in, and the majority will fight against the minority to achieve the goal of maintaining stability.
This second class is the poor people who account for the largest proportion in the world!
Zhu Youxiao's second trick is to use the emotional card. The Beijing News and the factory guard have not been idle in the past few months. Using the advantages of publicity, they have already laid a solid foundation among the people.
So this time, there is another big news in the Beijing News, which is about the crime of the Confucian government using the name of the heir of the husband and saint to embezzle the people's land and official land as sacrifice land!
It also mentioned a behemoth in Shandong, Lu Wangfu.
Prince Lu's Mansion and the Kong family have been married for many years, one occupied more than [-] hectares of land in Yanzhou, and the other occupied no less than [-] hectares in Qufu!
What kind of astronomical figure is this?
After the emotional card was played, no matter how the scholars helped the Confucian government to quibble, the common people would probably not recognize this so-called sage descendant family.
