Chapter 96 Patrol the West Mountain (2)

"All the best friends, please do not have any rituals."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, looked at the people in front of him, and said, "I heard that all the government offices planned to be built on the Xishan Mountain have been completed.

Let’s go, accompany me to inspect it carefully and ask me to see what the change will be like on the west mountain.

Huang Degong asked Xishan Musket Camp to follow him."

"I will obey the order!"

"The last general will receive the order!"

The respectful and standing Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Huang Degong and other civil and military officials hurriedly bowed and responded, and the whole emperor began to get busy.

The loyal and brave army under Sun Zushou remained behind the imperial guards and was responsible for guarding key places entering and leaving the Western Mountains. Deputy General Zhang Pengyi was left by Sun Zushou to take charge.

Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo and other honorary relatives commanded the following guards to rush to various places in Xishan to guard the Xishan Musket Battalion.

It is not a trivial matter for the emperor to leave Beijing to go out for a tour of the West Mountain. The people who accompanied him were all wary of everything. If the saint dared to have any problems, they would not be able to take care of it.

"Huang Degong, it's only been a long time since you came to Xishan to take charge of the Musket Battalion. Looking at the appearance of the Musket Battalion, I'm almost catching up with the Zhongyong Army."

Walking on the wide road in the west, Emperor Chongzhen said as he walked: "Yes, I am worthy of being a tiger general I value. How is the military martial arts lecture hall now?"

"Report to Your Majesty."

Huang Degong, who was following behind, couldn't help but speed up his pace and bowed, "The matter of following the army to talk about the martial arts hall has been clarified until the end of the day. Xishan Musket Camp has a good foundation.

The first batch of selected military martial arts lecturers, totaling 178 people, were all personally led by His Majesty, and the soldiers who followed him in front of him all made military achievements on the battlefield."

"We must cultivate it carefully."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Huang Degong and stretched out his hand and said, "Tell them all the abilities I learned in the Xiyuan Martial Arts Hall."

Xishan is the core of the dynasty, and the Military Preparation Institute is the most important thing I value. The responsibilities of the Musket Battalion must be kept in mind and don’t let me down.”

Huang Degong quickly responded loudly: "I will remember it in my heart!"

As one of the important plans of Emperor Chongzhen.

The Tianxiong Army under Lu Xiangsheng's command, the Zhongyong Army ruled by Sun Zushou, the Yongwei Battalion led by Zhou Yuji, and even the Four Guards and Xishan Musket Camp were all highly valued by Emperor Chongzhen.

Perhaps the above-mentioned battalions and schools have not yet reached the predetermined institutional specifications, but Emperor Chongzhen firmly believed that as long as the supply of the treasury is not a problem, the addition will definitely be completed.

These are all the backbone of the Ming New Army. Once the overall situation is controlled by Emperor Chongzhen, the rectification of the Liaodong front will begin as scheduled around the important towns on the nine sides.

Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo, Sun Zushou and others who were accompanying him all felt the emperor's importance to the West Mountain, and even attached great importance to the West Mountain Musket Camp.

However, Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other honorary relatives all thought about it in their hearts. The emperor said that the Xishan Musket Camp still shouldered unique responsibilities. What is that responsibility?

"Xu Qing, Song Qing, the wide road paved on the West Mountain has been completed?"

Looking at the wide road rammed in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Guangqi and the others and said, "In the future, the government office headed by the Military Preparation Institute will officially start operating on this side of the West Mountain.

The carriages coming and going must have great demands for all kinds of transportation. The wide road seems to be very small, but they cannot be ignored."

As the military industry selected by Emperor Chongzhen, the area where it gathers, the entire Xishan area, is included in the jurisdiction of the Military Preparation Institute.

All the important roads and even small roads leading to Xishan are within the jurisdiction of Xishan Musket Camp to ensure that the secrets here in Xishan will not be revealed.

The Eight Banners of Jianlu knew so much about the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to think too much, and he could guess that Jianlu had secret stakes under the Ming Dynasty and even bribed a lot of people.

"Report to Your Majesty."

With Xu Guangqi's eyes signaling, Song Yingxing walked forward and bowed and said, "The seven wide roads built in and out of the West Mountain have all been completed.

There are several mountain roads in Xishan, and the construction of the mountain is still being accelerated. Thanks to the food and wage allocated by the treasury, otherwise the planning and construction of the Wubei Institute in Xishan would not have been completed so quickly."

For a long time, the Ming Dynasty simply and roughly recruited labor in organizing labor, which made exploitation very serious and the labor efficiency was extremely slow.

However, regarding the construction of Xishan, Emperor Chongzhen clearly stated to Xu Guangqi and others that we should use distribution according to work to increase our enthusiasm.

If you follow the labor method, just build all the infrastructure in Xishan, within a year or two, you won’t think that you can build them all.

"Your Majesty... In front of you is the main garrison of the military battle, and this is a specialty for gunpowder." Seeing the building complex in front of you, Xu Guangqi walked forward and said with his hand.

"According to Your Majesty's order, the military and military weapons bureaus and other departments moved to Xishan. Under the unified allocation of the Military Preparation Institute, the powers were divided again.

The craftsmen under his jurisdiction were allocated according to the detailed planning and deployment. They learned that His Majesty was going to go out for a tour of the West Mountain. Considering the safety issues, the military war situation has temporarily stopped production today."

"Well, let's go in and have a look."

Looking at the military bureau in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "I also asked me to see if your Martial Arts Institute has fulfilled its corresponding duties."

"Here!"

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, various government agencies and even various industries under the small peasant economy are relatively inferior in terms of efficiency.

As a key military industry in the Ming Dynasty, Yiying's office that can enter Xishan must maintain efficient operation. The previous rigid and backward operation mechanism must be completely abandoned.

Emperor Chongzhen, accompanied by Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and others, walked into the military bureau office.

Huang Degong walked forward and smiled at Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo, Sun Zushou and other ministers and said, "Donalds, this Xishan government office can enter freely except for the officials of the Military Preparatory Institute.

No one can enter or exit at will, including the Xishan Musket Battalion.

I would like to ask you all to forgive me. This is your Majesty's decision. We will wait for the imperial guards outside the military bureau office."

“…”

Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other senior officials who were stopped, all of them looked up and looked at Huang Degong. They were the senior officials of the current dynasty and were stopped.

On the contrary, Sun Zushou acted calmly.
