The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

The official who presented the treasure was pulled down while crying and begging for mercy, but the soft and sweet voice still echoed in the hall.

At this time, someone came to his senses and raised his foot to kick the radio.

"Slow down!"

Archmaester Doolittle stood up and stopped the man in time.

"Your Majesty, although this thing is a strange skill of the Ming Dynasty, it can let us know the movements of the Ming army in time. It may be useful to keep it!"

Dolittle knelt down and kowtowed.

Although what was broadcast on the radio made them uncomfortable, it was at least much faster than their eight hundred mile acceleration.

For example, the news that the Qing army recaptured Hunan and captured Guangzhou with more than 30 Qing troops has become history. They just heard it from this radio.

Moreover, with the complete blockade of the Yangtze River, it will be at least half a month before news of the war in the south reaches Beijing by relying on the old method of delivering news.

With this radio, they can at least know faster where the Ming army is attacking...

Brother Nanxi, whose face was as gloomy as water, kept taking deep breaths and trying his best to calm down. He kept reminding himself that he should not be angry if he wanted to sit on this dragon chair for a few more years.

After a long time, Yanxi took two deep breaths and finally nodded in agreement, but when he thought of what he had just heard, his anxiety became even more intense.

"Dai Aiqing, Dai Aiqing."

"Wei Chen is here."

"How many guns and cannons has the Ministry of Industry made now?"

"Back to the emperor, more than 1 new muskets have been made so far, 80 Folan cannons, 40 Weiyuan general cannons (mortars or howitzers), and 24 Shenwei invincible general cannons. !”

Dai Zi, who had been promoted several levels to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry because the Ministry of Industry was overturned, immediately reported it.

To be honest, it is absolutely amazing to build such a large number of guns in just a few months, and it even makes people feel that Manqing is a technological power.

But in fact, in order to make these guns, Nanxi had ordered all the prisoners in the prisons in the Zhili area to be assigned to Dai Chu, and also forcibly hired a large number of blacksmiths from the private sector, and hired apprentices into the Ministry of Works, and also hired Keep looking for someone.

Nowadays, it has become a luxury for people in Zhili and even the surrounding provinces to have a pot.

With such unremitting investment, the number of registered craftsmen in the Guns and Artillery Bureau under the Ministry of Industry has exceeded 10, which is already equivalent to the number of troops stationed in Zhili.

It took more than [-] people a few months to build these guns. Is that much?

Not surprisingly, Brother Nanxi was dissatisfied.

"Not enough, not enough!"

"The bandits are obviously very powerful. They have eaten half of our country in the Qing Dynasty. Now we can only contain them with the power of firearms. Dai Aiqing, the Ministry of Industry wants people to ask for money and give them money. You must make it in the shortest possible time." Enough guns and cannons to arm millions of soldiers from the Qing Dynasty and drive those damn Ming bandits out of our Qing Dynasty!"

Brother Nanxi gritted his teeth and said.

"...Wei Chen, obey the order!"

Equipping an army of millions, you really dare to think about it!

But Dai Ju still had the courage to respond.

He knew very well that gun manufacturing required skilled workers, not just one person. Now that all the craftsmen in the surrounding area had been arrested, even if a large number of civilian men were hired, it would take a long time to train them. Come in handy.

And the raw materials are also a problem!

But now at this juncture, he didn't dare to say anything. All he could do was take it one step at a time.

After asking about the issue of gun manufacturing, Brother Nanxi turned his target to the Ministry of War.

Since he had just learned that his 30-strong army had been "tragic" at the hands of the Ming army, Nuanxi felt very insecure.

There were only 10,000+ troops in the Zhili area guarding the capital. If the Ming army attacked in large numbers, wouldn't they be defeated in an instant?

We must recruit people and expand the army!And with the previous examples of Green Camp defecting and surrendering, he became increasingly uneasy about the Han people.

Although the control of the green camp has been strengthened by setting up executive flag officers, in Nuanxi's eyes, the Han people are far inferior to his disciples of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty in terms of loyalty and combat capabilities.

As a result, Brother Nanxi issued a new conscription order.

All children of the Eight Banners who are between 15 and 45 years old and have no physical disabilities are required to join the army!

When Nuanxi's order was posted through a notice, the Eight Banners men in the capital were excited.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

This is to give them all an iron rice bowl!

Countless Eight Banners masters were so excited that they cried bitterly when they saw the contents of the announcement.

Serving as a soldier and eating royal food is the best way out for these bannermen!After all, it is a hardcore crop that can last a lifetime!

However, since there have been no wars in recent years, and the number of bannermen has increased, so far, as the areas with the highest concentration of bannermen in the country, the number of bannermen in Beijing and Zhili has already exceeded one million.

There are so many bannermen, but the establishment of the Eight Banners soldiers is fixed, and there are only so many rated soldiers.

Therefore, more than half of the bannermen could not serve as soldiers and could only receive 1 tael of silver per month as surplus soldier pay.

This tael of silver would be enough if given to ordinary people, but how could it be enough for the Eight Banners gentlemen who had great dignity and had no income at all?

Nowadays, Fanxi is expanding the army, and the recruitment requirements for those aged 15 to 50 include almost all adult males. Such a feat makes these Eight Banners men think that Fanxi is recalling the great contribution their ancestors made to the Qing Dynasty. And Yin Feng, these descendants.

Due to the blockade of information, at this moment, these Eight Banners men who were crying and grateful to Nanxi did not know that the Ming army had almost captured half of the country.

I don't know that tens of thousands of bannermen have actually died under the Ming army's butcher's knife.

Not to mention that Nuanxi and even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had begun to panic.

All these low-level bannermen knew was that another group of bandits had emerged in the south to rebel under the banner of Prince Zhu.

But what's so surprising about this? Over the years, the third prince Zhu who rebelled has been in his [-]s if not a hundred, but weren't they all quickly wiped out?

And what does this have to do with them?They just need to eat the royal food and continue walking the birds. There is no way that the suppression of bandits will fall on Jingqi!

For a time, everyone from children who were no taller than a gun to old men with gray beards swarmed to the recruitment office after the conscription order was issued.

In order to get this hard-core crop, the bannermen dared to turn 10 when they were 15 years old. As long as the old ones have not been buried, they are only 45 years old.

Half a month later, when the Ministry of War reported the news of the recruitment of 35 Eight Banners soldiers to Nuanxi, our eldest brother Nanmazi finally showed a long-lost smile.

"35 banner soldiers! In the end, our Qing Dynasty still has to rely on banner soldiers to protect the world!"

Emperor Zhu Da, who was far away in Nanjing, almost laughed out loud when he learned about this from Jin Yiwei.

"Why is it only 35? It would be great if all men, women, and children were recruited!"

"After all...if you resist with a gun, you won't feel guilty if you kill him."
