Each craftsman has his own unique mark, which is registered with the Gunpowder Department.

This means that every firearm produced here can be traced back to the craftsman who made it.

If there is a misfire or explosion on the battlefield, you can find the mark and trace it directly to a certain craftsman.

The light punishment may range from punishment to death. Those who make serious mistakes will have their clan exterminated.

Good guy, when Zhu Ying heard what the eunuch said, he immediately understood. No wonder they saw that the craftsmen were all focused and not slacking off at all.

It turns out that the fundamental reason is this.

Only after really walking around the Gunpowder Department can we understand.

In the early Ming and Ming Dynasties, in the 14th century, what did it mean to have such sophisticated firearms?

This is a real dimensionality reduction blow.

Moreover, this is not a new creation. As early as the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order: "One hundred households of ordinary soldiers are equipped with ten blunderbuss, twenty swords, thirty bows and arrows, and forty spears."

In other words, even in the most basic standing army, there are ten fire commanders among a hundred people, and the firearms equipment has reached a minimum of 10%.

For some special elite units, the firearms ratio may have reached 30 to 40%.

Zhu Ying was even more amazed at the production of firearms.

Among them, the cluster rocket is called a swarm of firearms. From the three-shot magic arrow to the hundred-shot Hundred Tigers Running, with a range of 300 meters, it has the same purpose as the machine guns of later generations.

And such firearms have already been used on a large scale by the Ming army today.

With only 5,000 cavalry in Zhu Ying's hands, against the Ming Dynasty's regular army, they really couldn't make waves at all.

Zhu Ying sadly discovered that even if he succeeded in founding Annan.

To reach the current scale of the Gunpowder Department, due to the limitations of population resources and the efforts of the whole country, it will take at least ten years, and possibly more.

Daming firearms led the world for two hundred years. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand its significance.

At present, Ming Dynasty is relatively active in terms of firearms in terms of technical level, innovative concepts, tactical thinking practice, etc.

In later movies and TV shows, the Ming Dynasty army only used swords and spears to kill, which is completely deceptive.

The diversification of the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty was the ancestor of many hot weapons in later generations.

Ship-to-ship missiles (Fire Dragon Out of the Water), rocket launchers (improved European cannons from the Folang machine), semi-automatic rifles (Ten-Eye Gun), repeating pistols (Kaizi Gun), as well as ancient landmines and sea mines, and Molotov cocktails (ten thousand enemies).

What's even more powerful is that it combines the close combat of cold weapons with the long-range launch of hot weapons, and has become the standard equipment of the Ming Dynasty's elite troops.

After coming out of the Gunpowder Department, Zhu Ying's mind was still buzzing.

Even Zhu Gaochi was shocked and speechless. He had little contact with the military and had never known that his own firearms could be so powerful.

Only after returning to the capital did Zhu Ying regain her composure.
