The army sent detailed battle reports of this battle to all general officers for reference, so that all senior generals knew how this battle was fought. Even the staff department in the Privy Council repeatedly rehearsed the battle and studied every situation.
A detail.
After all, this is the first large-scale battle within the army to use front-loaded rifled guns and front-loaded flintlock guns on a large scale, and its reference value is very high.
Even if it is just an overused front-loading rifled weapon, the army will definitely equip it with breech-loading rifled weapons in the future, but the reference value is still very high.
This battle not only strengthened the determination of the army's top brass to equip rifled weapons, but also accelerated the pace.
Front-loading rifled weapons are so awesome. If you are equipped with breech-loading rifled weapons, including breech-loading rifled guns and breech-loading rifled rifles, it will be amazing!
Within the Army, there is now an extreme desire for rifled weapons.
The most direct manifestation is that the Army gritted its teeth and increased its research and development funding for a variety of breech-loaded rifled weapons.
At the same time, we also directly placed orders for more 75 howitzers that have been successfully developed and started small-scale trial production.
When the Army first placed an order, it only placed an order for more than a hundred guns. But now, without even getting a single 75-gun howitzer, the Army directly placed an additional order for 500 guns.
The huge additional order brought surprises to the Tianjin Gun Factory. Although everyone knew that the future was an era of rifled weapons, and the orders for the 75-mm howitzers produced were bound to be indispensable, they still did not expect that the Army would not even have one.
We haven't seen the seventy-five howitzers yet, so we placed an additional order for 500 guns. In total, the total order has reached more than 600 guns.
However, while they were pleasantly surprised, they were also a little regretful, because they focused their main energy on the research and development of the 75mm howitzer and the 100mm cannon, and were somewhat unable to develop several other models of breech-loaded artillery.
In order to equip more breech-loading rifled guns faster, the Army has begun to support several other artillery arsenals, among which the Zhongyuan Artillery Factory has become their direct competitor.
The Zhongyuan Artillery Factory submitted the design of a 75 field gun to the Army. Its performance was not too outstanding compared to the design of the Tianjin Factory, but the production process was simpler and the cost was lower.
The Army, which is very sensitive to weapons procurement prices, naturally tends to choose Zhongyuan Artillery Factory as the main manufacturer of the new 75 field guns.
This kind of 75th field artillery is expected to be equipped with division artillery regiments, and is used to provide long-range fire suppression for division and brigade-level troops.
Therefore, the purchase volume is definitely indispensable, and if the purchase volume is large, the price will be more sensitive.
After all, one hundred yuan is less for one course, ten thousand less for one hundred courses, and one hundred thousand less for one thousand courses.
Regardless of whether it is the army or the navy, their purchasing volume is constant. If a certain manufacturer takes away orders, other manufacturers will naturally lose orders.
For this reason, the Tianjin Gun Factory is teasing the production line and striving to mass-produce the 75mm howitzer as soon as possible. It is also developing 100mm caliber artillery as soon as possible, not only field guns, but also howitzers.
The major domestic artillery manufacturers quickly entered fierce competition after the technical difficulties of breech-loading rifled guns were solved by Professor Wei Qingxin of the Royal Institute of Technology.
In order to compete for orders for breech-loaded rifled guns from the Navy and Army, each of them showed their special abilities.

In order to develop new artillery faster, they also poached talents everywhere.
Not only are they recruiting talents who have graduated from major institutions of higher learning, but they are also poaching technical talents from other ordnance manufacturers or machinery companies.
And these are not the focus of their competition. The focus of their competition is senior talents from the Royal Institute of Technology.
Especially the group of students who are about to graduate this winter have been robbed even more!
The Royal Institute of Technology used to be strict in entry and strict out, but too many people drop out every year, resulting in too few graduates. Therefore, it has been gradually reforming in recent years. Although it is still strict in entry and exit, the method has been changed.
Although there is still the beginning of upgrading, the difficulty at the beginning has been decreasing year by year, and it is not as abnormal as before. In this way, basically as long as they study hard, students with good talents can basically pass the upgrade exam.
As for students who say they don’t study hard and have no talent, I’m sorry, there are basically no such students in the Royal Institute of Technology, because they can’t even pass the exam.
As for those who gave up after passing the exam, they naturally still failed to pass the promotion exam and were persuaded to quit.
After the difficulty of the promotion examination was reduced, the number of students dismissed from the Royal Institute of Technology each year dropped significantly, which also led to the number of graduates beginning to increase.
In the early years, the number of graduates in a year was usually only a dozen or twenty. Later, it gradually increased, and this year the number of graduates has reached 200.
This is a huge change for the Royal Institute of Technology!
There are more people graduating every year, but there are still only so many people who can successfully stay in school to teach every year. This also leads to the flow of graduates to other places, and more and more graduates go to other places every year.
Nowadays, the Royal Institute of Technology's "strict entrance and strict exit", Yan Jin still refers to the difficulty of applying for the exam, but Yan "out" has become a stay at the school to teach.
Those who are unable or unwilling to stay on campus to teach have a variety of options, but most still go to teach in other universities.
Most of the professors in other universities now are actually from the Royal Institute of Technology.
Some have gone on to become officials, some have gone to work in large companies, and some have started their own businesses.
There are various options. Basically, in addition to staying in school to teach, these graduates can go wherever they like, which makes the methods of recruiting graduates by some institutions and companies very diverse.
Those schools are simple. They mainly provide R&D environments. Although the R&D environment of these universities is not as good as the Royal Institute of Technology, it is still good with the development over the years. Among them, the mechanical department of Jinling Institute of Technology is quite good.
Many graduates of the Royal Institute of Technology who have failed to stay at the Royal Institute of Technology and want to continue their academic career often choose to teach in other universities. The actual life pattern does not change much from that at the Royal Institute of Technology. As long as they produce research and development results, they will be the same. Able to obtain the title of academic nobility.
Needless to say, government agencies directly give grades, actual duties, and power.
Those big companies in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises want to poach these talented people, but in fact they don’t treat them as employees, but more as collaborators. The main method is to provide a better R&D environment, and of course personal treatment. There is nothing to say.
In order to develop and improve several subsequent artillery pieces, the Tianjin Gun Factory began practicing for the students of the Royal Institute of Technology who will graduate this winter several months in advance.
Of course, like most manufacturers with the same purpose, they basically get rejected once they ask.
However, not everyone will refuse. There is a graduate whose hometown is in Tianjin and was impressed by the Tianjin Gun Factory.
Sufficient research and development funds, absolute freedom of research and development, and the most important thing is that his home is in Tianjin. If he goes to the Tianjin Gun Factory, he can reunite with his family.
In addition, the Tianjin Gun Factory also roped in the person's parents as lobbyists and made various promises before finally agreeing.
After the person in charge of Tianjin Gun Factory watched with satisfaction as this person signed the cooperation agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief and was in a very happy mood when he returned to the hotel.
There are more than 200 graduates from the Royal Institute of Technology this year. In addition to the more than 30 people who stayed at the school to teach, more than 100 of the remaining people have basically chosen to go to other universities or enter the government, and have signed relevant agreements.
Book.
There are only more than 30 people who are hesitant and may be poached by big companies like them.
It is not easy for their Tianjin Gun Factory to successfully dig one up.
But just after returning to the hotel, I heard that a royal company signed three graduates of the Royal Institute of Technology in succession today.
After hearing the news, he couldn't believe what he heard was the truth.
Whether it is a large enterprise directly under the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises or under the royal family, there has never been a situation where three Royal Institute of Technology graduates were signed in one year.
This year, a royal company did it?
After asking around, I found out that it was actually a new royal company that was founded less than half a year ago, called Royal Petroleum!
Just by hearing this name, you can tell that it is a company wholly owned by the royal family assets department. Generally, only this kind of company can get the word "royal" as a prefix.
But the oil companies?
What is this thing?
They didn't know that in a five-story cement building not far away from them, several middle-aged men wearing exquisite business attire, headed by a gold badge with a dragon pattern, were smoking cigarettes.
Cigars were just introduced from America.
Then look at the documents in your hands!
This document is the cooperation agreement signed today with three prospective graduates of the Royal Institute of Technology this year.
According to the agreement, Royal Petroleum Company will cooperate with them in research on oil exploration, processing, and application, and provide huge R&D funds.
However, what impressed these three Royal Institute of Technology graduates was not the huge R&D funding and other preferential cooperation conditions, but the industry they were engaged in: petroleum!
The Royal Petroleum Company was only established this year, and even the person in charge of the Royal Assets Department at the time didn't know what the hell oil was.
However, this company was established under the orders of Emperor Sheng himself and is responsible for oil exploration, mining, processing, transportation, sales and other oil-related businesses.
Why Li Xuan wanted to establish an oil company was naturally not a sudden rise. He already knew what oil was and how important it was.
But the reason why there has been no action before is because the relevant technology has not yet taken shape.
But this year, the Royal Institute of Technology came up with a new thing, or more accurately, it is a new technology!
