I Was Engaged in Military Industry in the Late Ming Dynasty

Introduction to the work On a thunderstorm night, the escort team's matchlocks were all mute. Only a time-traveler who claimed to have "done iron work" relied on a three-piece set of "dehumidification-rain cover-clearing holes" to save the firearm. From then on, with his weak but reliable engineering thinking, he hard-core transformed a mud-legged team in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty. He did not create magic weapons, only procedures: charcoal grading and drying pits, moisture-absorbent bags and three-color cards; hydraulic pressure testing of gun barrels and batch accountability; mass production of paper canisters and division of labor among female workers; goose-neck fire door umbrellas and rain battle commands; night crossings and cross-fire; "paper does not fall to the ground" display of cleanliness; work tickets for food, ten military disciplines, "Procedures first, favors last." Each chapter has a implementable "technical/institutional prop" that allows firepower and order to evolve simultaneously. The protagonist is a talkative but steady hand: when fighting, he talks about "making enough, repairing quickly, and collecting paper", and when doing things, he talks about "size can be sold, but tricks are not." When fighting with wealthy gentry and treasurers, he uses evidence chains and process cards to slap people in the face in public; when dealing with brothers and ordinary people, he uses work tickets and pensions to twist people's hearts into ropes. The battlefield is the testing ground, the workshop is the headquarters, the vines cover the squibs, and the procedures cover humanity. This is a history of the military industry of the poor: using the most primitive methods to do the hardest things, lighting fires in the rain, setting rules in the mud, carving "almost the same every time" into the bones of the team, and finally using model forts and firepower chains to open a way for ordinary people to survive.
