My Life Simulator

"Master Hou, how much is a fire gun like this... how much is it?"

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are both famous generals, and it is natural to see the powerful power of this new type of fire gun.

"This is the Jiajing Type 40 rifle."

Lu Li glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile, "Do you want it? Ten taels of silver each, with a hundred rounds of bullets attached."

"Twelve taels of silver?"

Qi Jiguang couldn't help screaming.

Yu Dayou, who was next to him, also widened his eyes with a startled look on his face.

Is it too expensive?

that's true! Now that the steam power has been updated, the manufacturing cost has been greatly reduced, and the production efficiency has doubled.

"It is unbelievable that such a fire cannon can be made for ten taels of silver."

Qi Jiguang raised his eyes to look at Lu Li, and said, "Master Hou, the fire guns made by the Ministry of Industry are now 30 taels of silver each, and they blow up from time to time. The power is completely incomparable to your fire gun."

Well, I still shouted down the price.

Lu Li smiled and said, "This is the cost price, so I can support you."

"Thank you Hou Ye!"

The two hurriedly bowed to Lu Li, and their hearts were even more moved.

This is clearly the Lord Hou's care for us.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou now have 5,000 soldiers and horses under their command, and they each placed an order for 5,000 rifles.

Then... Lu Li took them to see the artillery again!

A cannon blasted out, and a big hole was blown out on the ground.

The power of such artillery made Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's eyes shine again, buy it! Must buy!

The artillery is more expensive, one thousand taels of silver. The two also bought ten artillery pieces each.

Then, Lu Li took them to visit the military uniforms, military rations, logistics support vehicles and other military supplies.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou seem to be the incarnation of the chopping party, and they keep buying and buying.

After a round of shopping, the two were shocked to find that they had placed an order of more than 200,000 taels from Lu Li.

What the hell! what's going on? Didn't we come to ask? How did it become a big purchase?

And... after buying so many things, we simply can't come up with so much money?

"Two generals, have you heard of mortgages?"

Lu Li smiled.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, using the mortgage model and Lu Li's standard, each equipped a full set of equipment that could equip 5,000 people, and owed Lu Li a lot of money.

After the weapons and equipment are purchased, the after-sales service should also keep up.

Lu Li thoughtfully presented the two with a "Recruit Training Manual", and each sent 100 instructors to assist in military training and instruct the use of new weapons and equipment.

"Thank you Hou Ye for your love!"

Qi Jiguang and the two were grateful. They led the instructor team, brought a lot of equipment and supplies, owed a debt, and went back happily.

The military reform of the Ming Dynasty took a significant step forward.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou are famous generals themselves, and they will be equipped with new weapons and equipment.

This serves as a good example.

When others see the success of Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, they will definitely follow suit, and there will inevitably be more people to purchase new weapons and equipment and learn new training methods and combat methods.

Without Lu Li's forcible push, more people would take the initiative to come over and carry out military reforms.

The world is so big that Lu Li alone can't finish it.

Only more and more people joined in, the tide of the times rolled down, and the huge army swept in all directions.

Speaking of which, the number of troops in the Ming Dynasty was really scary.

The guards in each province are more than 200,000 soldiers. The two capitals and thirteen provinces add up to three or four million troops.

If it's all changed to a new type of army...

Well, this is just a delusion, it is impossible to support such a huge new army, and there is no need to create so many troops.

A new-style army of tens of thousands of people already has the powerful combat power to hang all kinds of dissatisfaction.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, at most 500,000 new troops were enough.

A 10,000-strong army is stationed in each province, and the rest... all go out and expand the territory!

...

Time passes day by day.

The affairs of the Yamen, the governor of Nanzhili, have basically been on the right track.

Under the leadership of agricultural experts, the spring ploughing production of the forty-two guards has been successfully completed, and high-yield crops have been fully planted.

Recruitment of new recruits at various guard posts is also proceeding smoothly.

It's just... Raising an army of 200,000 people requires a huge amount of money, food and supplies. Lu Li couldn't handle it at all, so he could only reduce the scale and deal with it in half.

This year, we will recruit 100,000 soldiers, and next year, we will recruit the remaining 100,000 soldiers. In two years, we will complete the formation of a 200,000-strong army.

In addition, the various workshops set up by the forty-two guards have all been put into operation smoothly, and various materials are being produced continuously.

The construction of the heavy industry base in Jinshan Port Industrial Zone is also very smooth. Metallurgical ironmaking, metal processing, machinery manufacturing, various steam-powered machinery and equipment are working non-stop, and they are in full swing to manufacture guns and industrial equipment.

All work went very smoothly, but Lu Li became more relaxed, and continued to study scientific cultivation with old Taoist Tan Yuheng.

It is worth mentioning that the promotion of high-yield crops led by Hai Rui has officially taken the first step.

Last year, there was a locust plague in Henan Province, and food production was reduced in an all-round way.

Hai Rui asked for orders to carry out pilot projects of new crops in Henan Province, and comprehensively promote drought-tolerant and high-yield crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The reason why Lu Li thought of Hai Rui was that... this guy is really a jerk.

Hai Rui, who has studied in Lujiazhuang for more than half a year, eats Luli, wears Luli, and uses Luli. Before leaving, he abducted dozens of tenants who were proficient in planting and breeding.

If it weren't for the fact that he was an honest official, Lu Li would have almost captured him and beat him up.

Hai Rui is piloting high-yield crops in Henan Province. Once the pilot program is completed, all kinds of high-yield crops will be fully promoted. Next year, there will be many high-yield crops in Daming, right?

In fact, in the area of ​​southern Zhili, especially in the Susong and Susong prefectures, because of the bumper harvest of Jinshanwei and other guards, it has also led countless people around to follow up, introduce high-yield crop seeds, and plant high-yield crops in an all-round way.

...

While Lu Li was engaged in construction... the Japanese pirates came again!

In Nanzhili, Lu Li was sitting in town, and Japanese pirates dared not come. But... in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi, and Qiongzhou, there are Japanese pirates everywhere.

Lu Li's record is indeed terrifying, but it will take time for the army to open up. By the time Lu Li comes over, the Japanese pirates have already finished.

What's more, in the eyes of Japanese pirates, Lu Li is a land tiger, but they are sea dragons. No matter how powerful you Huating Hou are, you can still catch up to the sea and beat us?

Lu Li replied: Yes!

Lao Tzu's three destroyers have been floating at sea for several months!

Jiajing forty-one years, in May.

The Japanese pirates attacked Zhejiang Province and the territory of Taizhou Prefecture, and the Japanese pirates looted everywhere.

Jiajing forty-one years, in June.

The Japanese pirates Wang Zhibu, tens of thousands of troops attacked Fujian Province, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Zhangzhou Prefecture, all in emergency.

This time, Hu Zongxian didn't know what to think, he didn't ask the court for orders, and he didn't let Lu Li lead the army to pacify the Japanese.

Half a month later, Lu Li received a report from the residence that Hu Zongxian had fallen.

The reason for Hu Zongxian's downfall has nothing to do with the various chaotic charges impeached by the Qingliu, and is entirely a victim of political struggle.

Because... Mr. Yan Ge stepped down.

As a member of the Yan Party, the old Yan Ge stepped down, which directly led to the dismissal of Hu Zongxian, the anti-Japanese governor, and Suo Na went to Beijing to question him.

Hu Zongxian was dismissed and convicted, and no one in the southeast boundary was in charge of the overall situation for the time being.

Qi Jiguang's troops were stationed in Zhejiang Province.

Japanese pirates attacked Taizhou Prefecture and looted everywhere. Qi Jiguang immediately led the army to attack.

Qi Jiguang's 5,000 soldiers and horses have completed three months of preliminary military training under the training of the instructors, and have a certain combat capability.

With 5,000 new troops, the thousands of Japanese pirates in Ye Ma's army were completely pushed and crushed, and they won a series of victories.

In Fujian Province, Yu Dayou's 5,000 new-style troops also completed three months of training.

He fought a positional battle with the Japanese pirates Wang Zhibu, and directly defeated a Japanese pirate army of tens of thousands of people, and achieved a brilliant victory.

However... Japanese pirates are pirates.

If he couldn't win on land, he went to sea. When the army retreated, they came back to loot again.

In today's Ming Dynasty, there is no coastal defense at all.

The long coastline is full of landing points for Japanese pirates. When the army came over, they ran away, landed in another place, and continued to burn, kill and loot.

Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were exhausted and had no choice but to fight the fire everywhere.

At the beginning, they fought a few victories. After a while, Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou's troops hardly fought any major battles with Japanese pirates.

Except for some Japanese pirates who ran slower, who were killed by the two of them, the large army of Japanese pirates had already gone to sea.

What is Wang Yang sigh? This is Wang Yang sigh!

Watching the Japanese pirates show off their might on the sea, the two of them had nothing to do.

Yu Dayou had trained the navy in Quanzhou, but... those small sampans can only play a role in reconnaissance. It's better to fight a naval battle with Japanese pirates. If the wind and waves are bigger, the boat will overturn!

Because of the guerrilla tactics of Japanese pirates attacking from all directions, beacons were everywhere on the southeast coast. In addition to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi are also full of Japanese pirates.

Reports from various prefectures flew to the court like snowflakes. In the eyes of the leaders of the court, this was the intensifying trend of Japanese pirates and bandits.

The situation in the southeast urgently needs someone to preside over the overall situation.

Yan Ge Lao fell, and Hu Zongxian, a member of the Yan Party, was naturally not mentioned.

The newly-appointed old Xu Ge felt that the Japanese pirates deliberately came to slap their face. I finally became the first assistant, why are you here to make trouble?

I still have a world famous general who defeated the Tatar army of 100,000 in the first battle! Dare to give me face? I'll let Lu Li hit you!

So, old Xu Ge asked the Emperor Jiajing for a decree to transfer Huating Hou Lu Li and lead the army to pacify the Japanese.

Since Lu Li defeated the Tartars in the first battle, the court has been full of confidence in Lu Li's combat effectiveness.

No matter how powerful the Japanese pirates are, is it still more powerful than the 100,000 cavalry of the Tartars? As long as Huating Hou goes, it will blow you up in minutes.

Emperor Jiajing also felt that this idea was a good idea. He reached out and knocked on the jade chime, and passed the proposal.

An imperial decree was passed on, and Lu Li received an edict to lead the army to pacify the Japanese.

Today, Lu Li has 100,000 soldiers under his command who have completed three months of military training. It's just...the guns and ammunition haven't been stocked yet!

Fortunately, there are not so many people needed to fight Japanese pirates.

Lu Li ordered that 10,000 soldiers and horses be mobilized and divided into two routes, land and water.

The army marching from the land is all cavalry, composed of the old team of Jinshanwei.

This cavalry unit will clear the pirates from the land.

Compared with the starting soldiers, the cavalry's speed is much faster, and it can be regarded as a quick reaction force. When the police call comes, they can rush to the scene of the incident as quickly as possible.

For the remaining 5,000 troops, Lu Li convened another transport fleet, escorted by three destroyers, and set off directly by sea, becoming a marine corps.

...

Taizhou Prefecture, Zhejiang Province.

Qi Jiguang led 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command to clear the Yema Department of Japanese pirates in Linhai County.

"The army in black is here!" (Qi Jiguang's uniform was also provided by Lu Li)

Seeing Qi Jiguang lead the troops out, the Japanese pirates... turned around and ran.

"The whole army is in pursuit!"

Qi Jiguang pointed at the fleeing Japanese pirates with a knife and roared.

"Dick dick dick..."

The loud charging horn sounded, and the 5,000-strong army shouted "Kill" and chased after the fleeing Japanese pirates.

Chasing and shooting.

"Crackling" gunshots sounded, and the slow-running Japanese pirates screamed and fell to the ground.

However... all the way to the beach, the Japanese pirates have already boarded the ship and entered the sea.

The Japanese pirates supported the small sampan, paddled desperately, and rushed towards the ship docked far away from the shore.

"Fire!"

Qi Jiguang could only order angrily to shoot at the small sampan that was drifting away in the water.

Although many Japanese pirates were killed and injured, most of the Japanese pirates had successfully boarded the ship.

"Grass! Let them run away again!"

Qi Jiguang's eyes were burning with anger.

To pacify the Japanese pirates, it is not enough to have strong soldiers on land, but also warships at sea.

It's just that Qi Jiguang can't afford to do shipbuilding. One has no authority, and the other has no money.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

On the sea, the Japanese pirates who boarded the ship laughed wildly and provoked wildly at the Qi family army on the shore. Some people even unbuttoned their trouser belts and urinated in the direction of the Qi family army.

This made Qi Jiajun jump up and down one by one, but he could only hold his breath.

"Look! General Qi, look!"

At this time, an instructor sent by Lu Li pointed to the sea in the distance and shouted in surprise.

Qi Jiguang hurriedly looked over and saw three strange ships without masts on the sea in the distance, blowing black smoke, whistling from afar.

What is this stuff?

Qi Jiguang quickly raised the binoculars and looked at the three strange ships.

In the telescope, a bright sun and moon flag hangs high on the three strange ships.

Is this my Daming ship?

"Zhenhai Destroyer! This is Zhenhai Destroyer! These Japanese pirates are finished!"

The instructors in the army cheered one by one.

"Dudu..."

The high-pitched whistle sounded, and the three destroyers formed the battle line and rushed towards the front of the Japanese pirate fleet.

A naval battle is about to break out!
