In the era of cold weapons, the advantage of cavalry was enormous!

It can be described as an armored army group from the era of cold weapons!

Whether it's attacking, harassing, or flanking, they are always successful!

This is why the eras with elite cavalry were the golden ages of dynasties!

In later generations, every dynasty that wanted to fight back against the steppe forces also needed to build a powerful cavalry!

Emperor Wu of Han launched a counterattack against the Xiongnu!

Emperor Taizong of Tang destroyed the Turks!

Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty led an expedition to the northern deserts!

The vast majority of them relied on cavalry!

Only cavalry could conquer the grasslands and establish an immortal golden age!

Currently, the majority of Dongning City's military force consists of infantry, with very few cavalry, which is the root of Dongning City's predicament.

If cavalrymen are not trapped in isolated cities, it will be difficult to defeat the grassland bandits in order to fight them to the death.

In open field battles, the Prince's Guard would likely be the ones to lose!

It will take time to change this situation!

In later generations, cavalry truly disappeared from the historical stage only after the large-scale application of firearms.

Therefore, Li Xin also understood that defending the city was only a temporary measure.

Only by striving to improve our technological level can we completely defeat the grassland bandits and completely recover the lost territory of Dongning Province!

While constructing a trench defense system in Shuangchengfu, Li Xin also searched for firearm production methods within the realm of intelligent technology.

Dongning City now has high-quality steel.

Although production is still low!

Machine tools and equipment are also available.

Although the accuracy is still not perfect!

However, it was a first step taken and a solid foundation laid.

Although they could not produce revolutionary machine guns, bolt-action rifles, or automatic rifles.

However, flintlock muskets can still be produced!

In later generations, the British Empire used a Brownbes flintlock musket and its derivative models to produce them for more than 130 years, establishing its global dominance!

This brown Bess flintlock rifle is also the most ideal rifle model!

It is inexpensive and simple to manufacture.

In particular, it is relatively easy to operate.

For this era, it is a rare and excellent product.

Immediately, Li Xin began to meticulously copy down the production process, steps, and procedures of the brown-bess flintlock musket from the intelligent technology.

Some parts even have detailed drawings.

The entire production process of the brown bees flintlock musket is broken down into more than sixty steps.

Each step of the process has detailed parameters and production procedures.

Li Xin also made some optimizations. After the optimizations, he handed over the different parts to different factories and workshops for standardized production.

After production is completed, all components are transported back to the assembly plant for assembly.

Standardized production methods are also the greatest invention for improving production efficiency in later generations!

In this era, standardized production requires standardized units of measurement.

Therefore, Li Xin created standard measuring instruments based on the scales and markings of later generations.

After everything was prepared, Li Xin gave Shuangchengfu his final instructions.

On the Shuangcheng Prefecture side, Zhang Cheng, Liu Zheng, Wang Zhong, Mu Yunyan, and others were put in charge.

The main task here is to dig trenches, build city walls and watchtowers, and reinforce the defense system of Shuangchengfu!

To ensure the steady progress of the construction of Shuangcheng Prefecture's defenses, Li Xin also dispatched Qiao Juncheng, the engineering team leader, Dong Haibao, the cement kiln manager, and others from Dongning City to Shuangcheng Prefecture to participate in the construction.

Besides construction, Shuangchengfu also needs to keep a close eye on the movements of the grassland bandits.

Since there is a temporary peace between the two sides, Li Xin doesn't need to stay here any longer.

Upon returning to Dongning City, Li Xin did not immediately meet with the technical personnel of the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau, but instead summoned Li Xi to the Prince's Palace.

Li Xi was a veteran of the Prince's Mansion. He joined the Prince's Mansion last winter during the defense of Dongning City and has been working there ever since.

He is cautious and meticulous, reliable in his work, and most importantly, loyal!

Looking at Li Xi, Li Xin asked, "How's the work going lately?"

"Your Highness,"

Li Xi replied, "During this period, I have secretly recruited twenty-three people, and some work has already begun."

The current focus is on the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau.

Next, I plan to continue recruiting.

"You did a great job."

Li Xin nodded.

In fact, the work assigned to Li Xi had been explained to him a long time ago.

This task is of utmost importance: the security and protection of Dongning City!

The primary objective was to ensure that Dongning City's crucial technological data was not lost. There were no traitors stealing the data, and the organization was responsible for verifying the loyalty of key technical workers!

This task was essentially equivalent to the Imperial Guard of the Prince Xin's Mansion in that era!

The organization led by Li Xi was also named the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

However, they act with much more discretion!

After praising Li Xi, Li Xin took out a list and handed it to Li Xi, instructing him: "Li Xi, the main task of the Embroidered Uniform Guard during this period is to secretly investigate the behavior of these people and ensure their absolute loyalty!"

Looking at the names on the list, Li Xi quickly replied, "Yes!"

The list given to Li Xi consisted mostly of outstanding technical personnel from the Dongning Manufacturing Bureau.

Li Xin also had other plans for these people: to set up a musket bureau to produce brown beret flintlock muskets.

Therefore, the loyalty and reliability of these individuals are of paramount importance.

The Brownbes flintlock musket was an absolutely revolutionary product!
