    Nanjing.

    Song Yingxing brought two craftsmen to the audience, and also brought two muskets.

    "Meet Your Majesty!"

    The two craftsmen had obviously received etiquette training, so they resisted not kneeling, and bowed together with Song Yingxing.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "You said the firecracker has improved again?"

    Song Yingxing replied: "Many styles have been improved, and this time I bring the best two."

    The two craftsmen behind Song Yingxing are probably the main contributors to these two guns.

    Zhao Han asked Song Yingxing to bring the gun over, and found that one was long and the other was short.

    The long one is no different from the existing bird guns, but the short one is obviously a flintlock.

    Song Yingxing explained: "The improvement is nothing more than misfiring. This new bird gun (matchlock gun) has been tried for a month, and every 100 times the gun is fired, about 96 to 97 times are normal. And this flintlock,  I also tried it for a month, and for every 100 shots, about 81 to 82 shots can be fired."

    That is to say, for these two new guns, the misfire rate of the arquebus is 3%-4%, and the misfire rate of the flintlock is 18%-19%.

    has been significantly improved.

    The next question is what kind of new gun should be installed.

    Zhao Han asked, "What about the shooting speed?"

    Song Yingxing replied: "The rate of fire of the bird gun has not changed, but the rate of fire of the flintlock should be halved."

    Then don¡¯t think about it. You must change to a flintlock gun. The nearly 20% misfire rate can be fully compensated by the rate of fire.

    The flaws of matchlock guns are too obvious. Even if the Datong Army is well-trained, it can only fire once a minute.

    There is also a fire rope, under normal circumstances, it can only burn for 30-40 minutes, and it will be shortened to 20 minutes in windy weather.  The matchlock is afraid of rain and water, and it will be exposed at night.

    Moreover, in order to prevent the matchlocks from interfering with each other, the musketeers should not stand too close together, and the musketeers should be at least one meter apart.

    After changing the flintlock gun, the formation has to change accordingly.

    The width of the battlefield can become larger, the musketeers can stand denser, and the depth of the formation can become shallower.  The number of melee units can be reduced, more firecrackers can be added, and the hollow formation against cavalry can also be practiced.

    Zhao Han said happily: "All of these flintlocks will be made, and they will be equipped first for our army's dragoons."

    With this military expansion, the inventory of the old matchlock guns was emptied, leaving only more than a thousand guns.  The next step is to mass-produce flintlock guns, first for the dragoons, and then for the infantry.

    The eliminated firecrackers can be thrown to those defecting troops.

    For example, Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan, and Gan Liangchen in Sichuan, and the Guangxi soldiers who fought with the Tenth Division.

    Of course, due to production restrictions, it will take at least two to three years for all ten regular divisions to refit.  This is not playing games, researching and developing new equipment, which can be made immediately by spending gold coins, but in real battles, you have to wait slowly.

    After changing clothes, you can't go to the battlefield immediately, and you must carry out new formation and tactical training.

    Zhao Han asked the names of the two craftsmen again, so as to appreciate them.

    ? The one who improved the flintlock gun, rewarded five acres of land, rewarded five taels of silver, and raised his salary by five levels.  In addition, the title of "Skillful Craftsman" was awarded, and the Ministry of Industry and the whole army were notified for commendation.

    The one who improved the matchlock gun was rewarded with three acres of land, three taels of silver, three levels of salary increase, awarded the title of "Skilled Craftsman", and notified the Ministry of Industry for commendation.

    People who have won special titles, whether they are civil servants, generals, merchants or craftsmen, will be issued corresponding jade pendants and waist cards.  Jade pendants can be hung on the waist as ornaments, and waist cards can be used to meet officials at all levels, including the emperor.

    If a person holding a badge with a special title wants to see an official at a certain level, the official must meet within ten days.

    Waist badges are numbered and engraved with the name of the person. If someone uses or forges it, it is tantamount to treason.

    Hundreds of special titles of merchants have been awarded.

    ?For example, donating to support education can be awarded the title of "Confucian businessman", except for the establishment of private schools.  Another example is this year's catastrophe, and merchants who donate money and food to help the victims can be awarded the title of "benevolent merchants".

    These titles, like the archways of Ming Dynasty, must be reported to the central government layer by layer, and can only be approved after review.

    Except for being able to meet officials with a license, everything else is honorary, without any special treatment.

    So far, no one has come to see Zhao Han with a license. It is okay to see him, but if you have no business and just chat with the emperor, the emperor will definitely record you in his little book.  The same is true for officials at all levels. If they look around for nothing, they are just asking for trouble

    North Korea, Seoul.

    A servant scrambled and rushed in,More than 10,000 people entered the customs, enriching the sparsely populated Beizhili.

    In the entire Northeast, there are only 15 cities left with troops staying behind, and the rest are all governed by civilian officials.

    Since the northeast is so empty, why are you still nesting in Phi Island?  Land directly to occupy the city!

    In the Liaodong Peninsula, with such a large area of ??land, only Gaizhou and the Eight Banners Army are left.

    Dorgon never thought that Zhao Han could directly send troops to attack the Liaodong area across Shandong.  This is not a problem of IQ, but a problem of vision, which even Hong Chengchou didn't expect.

    All the navies from Shanghai and Fuzhou were dispatched, carrying the soldiers of the 11th Division of the Datong Army and many logistics supplies, and headed for Jinzhou (Jinzhou District, Dalian City) in a mighty way.

    After unloading in Jinzhou, they will continue to return to Ganghwa Island to ship food from North Korea.

    "Enemyenemy attack?"

    In charge of managing Jinzhou City, there is only one Han military officer and one Han civilian official.

    They watched the huge naval fleet attack, and they didn't understand what was going on at all, and they even forgot to gather troops to defend the city.

    Of course, there is no way to gather troops.

    The urban population, plus rural farmers, in the entire Jinzhou territory, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 Han Chinese left, and there are more than 10,000 Datong soldiers and officials who came by boat!

    When the Datong army landed on the shore, Jinzhou officials finally came to their senses and recruited the people in the city to defend.

    Hu Dinggui ordered: "The whole army takes off their helmets!"

    A commoner in Jinzhou, looking at the approaching Datong army, suddenly shouted excitedly: "There is no hair shaved, it is the imperial court's army, the emperor sent troops to fight back!"

    "Long live Daming!"

    "Long live Daming!"

    I don't know who shouted first, and the rest of the Han people cheered.

    Dorgon not only removed the population, but also took away most of the food.  There is no Jinzhou City full of people, and the food is almost gone. It is estimated that half of them will starve to death before the farmers outside the city can grow food.

    "Kill the Tartars, welcome the Heavenly Soldiers!"

    The defending troops that had been organized with great difficulty suddenly rushed towards the Jinzhou officials.

    Those Jinzhou officials are actually Han Chinese.

    (Don¡¯t forget to vote for the monthly pass in everyone¡¯s hand! This chapter is short! Lao Wang is very conscious now, continue to write, and strive to code out the third update as soon as possible!)
