Zhu Cijing tried hard to recall. He was sure that he should have only talked about the structure of an armored combat vehicle. No matter how much he had to say, he would not be able to explain it. Because although there are many tank models in later generations, the structures are similar, where did the two styles come from!

He couldn't help but curiously said, "Oh, there is another kind of armored combat vehicle, where is it?"

When Bi Maokang and Sun Yuanhua heard this, they waved their hands and led him to walk to the side. In fact, there was a small armored warrior not far from the large armored warrior, which was about the size of a landslide. However, Zhu Cijing was immediately beaten by a large armored warrior with a gun barrel. He didn't notice that there was a small one next to him.

There was no artillery in front of this armored chariot, but was replaced by two terrifyingly large pickaxes.

Damn, excavator!

Although the modified turntable in front of the car is not a digging bucket like an excavator, Zhu Cijiu also saw its function. This thing is definitely used for excavation, and it is digging forward, not downward.

Sure enough, when Sun Yuanhua saw the emperor's shocked look, he immediately introduced: "Emperor, Weichen heard that both Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting chose the tactic of digging the city wall to avoid excessive casualties by his soldiers, so he specially designed this kind of armored combat vehicle for them. The steam pipeline of this armored combat vehicle can be converted at will. When moving forward, steam is transported to the driving system of the track to drive the chariot. When parked in place, steam can be input into the piston driving the pickaxe to dig the city wall. Just turn a valve inside to complete the conversion. The operation is similar to the earth-turning dragon, which is simple and easy to learn. If the front-line soldiers don't have time to practice, they can completely transfer a group of experts who can open the earth-turning dragon from the Tunwei, and will never delay the battle next year."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijing asked with great interest: "Oh, have this armored combat vehicle been tested? How is the excavation speed?"

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he said a little embarrassedly: "This minister has never tried it yet. However, the excavation speed of the two big pickaxes can be adjusted by the valve handle. When starting to dig the bricks and stones on the outer layer of the city wall, the speed may be slower, but once the filling layer is dug inside, the speed is absolutely fast."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijiu couldn't help but pat Sun Yuanhua's shoulder again and praised: "Very good, Chuyang, you have a good idea. I am worried about digging the city wall and wasting time. With this small armored combat vehicle, the speed of digging the city wall will definitely be greatly improved. When the training ground is built, try both armored combat vehicles together. Then, we will discuss the tactics based on the performance of the two armored combat vehicles. Next year, the Ming Dynasty will definitely win the entire territory of Siberia!"

Sun Yuanhua was already dizzy when the emperor praised this and was so happy that he couldn't speak.

Zhu Cijing was eager to test the performance of the two armored combat vehicles, because after the test, it had to make improvements, mass production, operation training, and tactical improvements.

In this way, although there is still half a year before the war begins next year, there are too many facts in all aspects, so it is really impossible not to hurry up.

After returning to the palace, he immediately asked Wang Chengen to find the recent telegrams from Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, and carefully analyzed them, and then decisively issued an order: "Transfer the order, and Qin Gongming led the Ding Liao army to escort 200,000 prisoners to Beijing."

Now, the connection between the Western Regions Railway and the Siberian Railway has entered the final stage, and basically the two railway bridges on the Yeni River and the Tungus River have not been connected. There is no need for too much manpower there, and six legions of the vassal states are enough. Therefore, Zhu Cijing decided to transfer 200,000 prisoners to build the city wall in the northwest of the capital and build a training base.

As for the regular legions there, he did not dare to mobilize too much. Although the Russian troops in Siberia were far less than the Ming army, the Ming army's current defense line was a bit long. From the Kazakh Khanate to the Beitingcheng Announcement Department to the Khalkha and the entire Yeni River trunk, the Ming army's defense line was tens of thousands of miles long, and it was not an exaggeration to garrison it in one million troops. He did not dare to mobilize too many legions, and there were loopholes in the defense line.

The northwest of the capital is close to the Yanshan Mountains. Most of the mountains are covered with complex terrain, which is not suitable for civilians to live in, and it is even more suitable for building a city. It is quite appropriate to build a training base. After Zhu Cijing issued the order, he recruited Wang Zhengnan and asked him to send a secret spy from the Jinyiwei to make a sand table model in the northwest of the capital as soon as possible.

This sand table model is a compulsory subject for the Jinyiwei Spy. Moreover, the capital has gathered many Jinyiwei Spy for many years. It is naturally no problem to make a sand table model in the northwest of the capital.

Within a few days, the sand table model was completed. The mountains, rivers, railways and gullies above were made with extremely accurate accuracy. If a hot air balloon was made and reached to a high altitude, the sand table model would be the same as looking at it from a high altitude!

With the sand table model, it is much more convenient to plan. Zhu Cijiu specially summoned Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing to start planning the construction of the training base in the northwest of the capital.

There is nothing to discuss about this city wall. The final plan of the capital was to build a nine-cup grid. Now the five lattices in the middle have been built. There are two walls in the northwest of the capital. The rest is just to extend the westmost wall and the northmost wall of the capital and the intersection.

Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua and Song Yingxing have more ideas about the construction planning within the Northwest Training Base.

Bi Maokang first made a suggestion that he actually wanted to move the entire Wanggong Factory to the northwest training area, because the central urban area of ​​the capital is already worth every inch of land and there is no room for expansion. Wanggong Factory has to be responsible for the configuration of gunpowder and the production of various guns. The place is really insufficient, and the output cannot be improved at all.

Zhu Cijiu did not fully agree with this issue. The northwest of the capital is the mountainous area, which is not suitable for a large number of people to live in. Wang Gong Factory hires nearly 100,000 workers. It is difficult to solve the problem of life when moving in the whole process. In the end, he only agreed to partial relocation and move the more dangerous gunpowder configurations over. In this way, Wang Gong Factory can free up space and expand the production of various types of guns.

Song Yingxing's proposal is not very exaggerated. He just wanted to clear the area near the large laboratory as a base for oil refining and production in the future. Zhu Cijiu naturally would not object to this.

Sun Yuanhua’s suggestions were a bit exaggerated. He not only wanted to build the Army Officer Academy, but also wanted to build the bastions everywhere!

Of course, the construction of so many bastions is not for defense, but mainly for tactical exercises. No country can threaten the capital of the Ming Dynasty at this time, but bastions will become the main target faced by the Ming army, because the main enemy of the Ming Dynasty at this stage is the European powers, and they are all experts in bastion building.

Zhu Cijiu did not object to this point, so he built it. Anyway, there was some cement in the Ming Dynasty. What is the point of building more than a dozen battalions? After it was built, it was used to practice tactics. After it was broken, it was repaired, and after it was repaired, it was smashed and then smashed. It was done casually. The Ming Dynasty was not short of this little money!
