Jiajing looked at the exquisite "Kunyu Wanguo Map" in front of him, and his interest was completely aroused.

This "Theory of Understanding of Things and Geography" really brought him a lot of surprises. So what about other things? He couldn't help but ask: "Qingfeng, what are you holding in your hand? Are you other volumes?"

Yang Cong hurriedly said: "Yes, the emperor, I went to Shanxi last year and heard the most that the people on the border feared the Tartars. Therefore, I thought of some weapons and methods to deal with the Tartars, and compiled them in the "Five Elements", "The Art of War" and "The Equipment" respectively. Please check it out."

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited. The Tartars were really annoying. Year by year, it caused countless soldiers in the border army to be killed and injured, the people on the border were panic, and the court's military expenditure burden became heavier, which made him feel overwhelmed.

Now, Yang Cong actually compiled weapons and methods to deal with the Tartars, and his enthusiasm suddenly came up.

He couldn't wait to take the three books in Yang Cong's hands, and then quickly read them.

Yang Cong placed the top of the list of "Theory of Understanding and Knowledge. Warcraft. Defence Volume", which tells how to use thermal weapons to defend the city with cold weapons, and how to use fire dragon chariots to cooperate with thermal weapons and cold weapons to defend the cavalry charge in the wild.

These military tactics are similar to those passed down from before. They not only contain the methods of corpsing, marching methods, combat discipline, combat formation coordination, etc., which are similar to cold weapon warfare, but also the triassiding formation of muskets, infantry and cannons, guns and cannons, joint combat, range, saturated attack and other purely hot weapons warfare techniques, and even many illustrations. Even Jiajing, who is not very proficient in military tactics, cannons can clearly see it at a glance.

This military strategy is indeed different. Jiajing was excited. According to the military strategy, if the Ming army defended the city, ten thousand elite border troops were enough to resist the attack of 100,000 Tartars. If it was an encounter in the wild, ten thousand elite border troops were enough to resist the attack of 50,000 Tartar cavalry.

However, when Jiajing saw the weapons behind him, he was stunned.

When defending the city, ten thousand Ming soldiers need to be equipped with at least three thousand muskets, ten thousand thunders, fifty heavy artillery, and one hundred light artillery.

During field battles, ten thousand Ming soldiers need to be equipped with at least 5,000 muskets, 20,000 thunders, 200 light artillery, 2,000 chariots, and 4,000 war horses.

Oh my god, where do these things come from? What are the thunder, heavy artillery, light artillery, and muskets. The entire Shenji Battalion is equipped with less than 3,000 muskets, and there are six border towns in the northwest. Where do so many muskets come from?

Jiajing closed the "Strange Art of War" with some regrets, and then sighed: "Qingfeng, your military strategy is really good. If you follow the military strategy, as long as you equip all the elite troops of the northwest 60,000 border troops in the northwest, the Tartars will not be a problem. Where did the Ming Dynasty have such muskets, artillery, thunder and chariots?"

Yang Cong naturally thought of this question for a long time, and he responded carefully: "Master, the Ming Dynasty does not have so many weapons and equipment now, but as long as we are willing to build it, these will be sooner or later. I have also heard that some people have never seen the Tartars, nor have they ever thought of going to fight to kill the enemy. They know that they are sarcastic. It is not good to say this or that. After talking about sarcastic words for so many years, the Tartars have not seen a single hair. Is it because they are sarcastic and not action? How strong is the national strength of the Ming Dynasty? Can't even make such guns and cannons?"

When Jiajing heard this, he was stunned. He had indeed heard such sarcastic words. Now he thought, these people are really hateful. You can only say sarcastic words and do nothing. Can the Tartars be blown to death by you or what?

He nodded with deep emotion and said, "Well, how powerful our Ming Dynasty is, can't we even create such guns and cannons?"

What I'm waiting for is your words!

Yang Cong quickly struck the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty, there are various weapons and equipment production methods behind it. Please check it out."

Upon hearing this, Jiajing quickly put the "War Art" aside and continued to look.

The second book is "Theory of Understanding of the Investigation of Things and the Five Elements Chapter. Excerpts", which records the manufacturing methods of thunder and cannons.

The structure of this thunderbolt is actually very simple. It is to stuff a pomegranate-shaped ceramic jar with gunpowder and thick iron needles, then plug it with a wooden plug, and then it will be made by pulling a thread of fire out.

This ceramic filling is also easy to make. Anyway, it is a disposable consumable. You don’t have to care whether the appearance is beautiful or not, nor do you need to color and draw patterns. You can use it by burning a rough blank. It’s very simple.

The thick iron needles inside don’t need to be processed. They just poke some holes on the sand mold with bamboo sticks, and then pour the iron into it. They can be cast a lot of them at one time.

As for gunpowder, let alone the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the Wanggong Factory Gunpowder Bureau was set up in the capital. It can produce 4,000 kilograms of gunpowder every day, and millions of kilograms of gunpowder are stored all year round. Unfortunately, the firearms are getting fewer and fewer gunpowder is used now, and the amount of gunpowder is also getting smaller and smaller. It is estimated that many of the gunpowder inside will become moldy.

When Jiajing saw the method of creating this sky-blasting thunder, he was immediately ambitious. Not to mention ten thousand pieces, it would be easy to make a hundred thousand pieces or even millions!

Next is the method of casting artillery. The above pictures and texts are all well-described, and the casting process of the cannon is described in detail. When Jiajing saw it, it seemed that this thing was not very difficult.

Immediately afterwards, the third book is "Theory of Understanding and Mechanism. Excerpts", which records the manufacturing methods of muskets and fire dragon chariots.

Muskets were actually made in the Ming Dynasty as early as the Hongwu period, but they were not used in actual combat, so the court did not pay much attention to it. After reading the complete set of methods, Jiajing didn't feel that it was difficult.

As for the Fire Dragon Chariot, of course, it does not mean that this chariot can spit fire. It mainly means that infantry can avoid guns and cannons and will not be injured by the arrow rain of the Tartar cavalry. Even iron barbarian shields can be installed in front of the chariot to charge directly.

This iron barbed shield is also very simple to make, that is, poke some deep holes on a sand mold, enclose the border, and then pour the iron on it to cast a shield covered with iron barbed one.

This thing is equipped with a fire dragon chariot in front of it, and then line up the chariots and push them directly towards the Tartar cavalry. They can even hit them, and their heads are overturned and their heads are bleeding.

After seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but stroking his hands and praised: "Okay, with this Fire Dragon Chariot, the Tartar cavalry is equivalent to being destroyed."

Yang Cong hurriedly took the opportunity to slap: "The emperor is wise. As long as he can equip the elite border troops, the Tartar cavalry is not worth worrying."

Jiajing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, as long as we can equip the elite border troops according to the military tactics, the one that should be troubled is the Tartar cavalry. Qingfeng, how long do you think we can equip all the elite border troops?"

Yang Cong said confidently: "As long as the emperor can draw enough craftsmen, at least three years, and at least five years, all 60,000 elite troops in the border army can be equipped, and then we can drive the Tartar cavalry out of the frontier."

Three years, five years, sounds like a long time, and Jiajing didn't think it was too long, because since he succeeded to the throne, the Tartar cavalry had caused him a headache for more than ten years. It was already fast enough to solve this problem in three to five years.

The vision described by Yang Cong is very good!
