Chapter 42 The Tour
Emperor Chongzhen put the memorial in his hand on the dragon table and tapped the memorial with his fingers. When Wang Qia heard the sound of "da, da", he knew that the emperor was thinking about the problem.
After getting along with each other in the past few days, Wang Qia, Li Banghua and others who were walking around the military aircraft also discovered some of Emperor Chongzhen's habits and tried to figure out what the emperor was thinking.
"Well, I understand."
Emperor Chongzhen, who pondered for a moment, frowned slightly and said: "Wang Qing, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, I have issued an edict.
The Ministry of War's Arsenal Cleaning Department and the Ministry of Industry's Ordnance Bureau were responsible for organizing the three elite units of the Fifth Army Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Shenji Camp, and all of them were equipped with sufficient weapons, armor, firearms, etc.
In addition, Sun Qing has requested a supply of food and grass for the cabinet to deal with. I don’t want to hear any prevarication, so I ask Han Xu and the others to handle it as soon as possible.”
"I accept the decree!"
Wang Qia immediately responded with his hands raised.
After these few days of operation, the military aircraft department specially set up for the purpose of building a border with the Japanese invaders has reached a relatively tacit understanding, both in terms of internal operations and coordination with external Korea.
Emperor Chongzhen also thought about the reason why this situation occurred.
Firstly, the invasion of Jianlu was indeed critical. Secondly, it was related to the changes in the court and inside and outside the capital. Thirdly, it was related to Sun Chengzong's departure from Jizhou and the temporary establishment of the front, middle and rear defenses.
None of the ministers who can serve as officials in the court have simple roles. Under the current general trend, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the various arrangements made by the emperor, it is not the time to fight to the death.
The connection between the inner court and the outer court was completely severed by the emperor.
Dongchang, Jinyiwei rises again.
The Beijing camp was also ordered to be reorganized by Zhang Weixian.
Coupled with the temporary defense lines of the front, middle and back.
Unconsciously, the emperor quietly made arrangements to stabilize the situation in Shenjing.
When the country is facing the threat of rebels, if the emperor is really pressed for help, then anything can happen, so there is no need to show strength at this time.
"Wang Daban, how about the firearms produced by the War Bureau? How about packing the other granules of gunpowder?" Emperor Chongzhen thought about the current situation and asked Wang Chengen who was waiting on the side.
The newly formed Yongwei Battalion has been practicing in the Anhua Temple area for several days. Under Zhou Yuji's leadership, the basic framework has been clarified.
However, if you want to become a real elite, you must see blood on the battlefield, otherwise you will just be a bunch of useless embroidered pillows. Emperor Chongzhen does not need such an army.
Wang Chengen stepped forward, bowed his hands and said: "Back to your Majesty, according to the report from the War Bureau yesterday, they have been working urgently in the past few days and have ordered the production of 20,000 sky-shaking mines and 50,000 quantities of granular gunpowder.
Fifty thousand copies of lead bullets.”
"The output is a bit low."
Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered: "It seems that if you want to mass produce, you still need assembly line operations. I was negligent and forgot about this matter."
When Wang Cheng'en was asked to reorganize the Fourth Division and Eight Bureaus, Zhang Yixian led the troops and controlled the eunuchs. He was busy asking them to produce Zhentian Lei and granules of gunpowder, but forgot about the assembly line work.
It's really a bit careless.
Emperor Chongzhen picked up the hanging wolf hair, pulled out a blank document, and said while writing: "Send someone to the Military War Bureau and ask Zhang Yixian to arrange manpower.
The scheduled production of thunderbolts, as well as packages of granular gunpowder, lead bullets, and the previously selected Rumi blunderbuss, bird blunderbuss, etc. were transported to Anhua Temple.
Make another arrangement. I will leave the palace immediately and go to Anhua Temple to inspect the Yongwei Camp. Let’s get ready."
"My slave obeys the order!"
Wang Chengen hurriedly raised his hands and responded.
Compared with the deployment of firearms by the Military War Bureau, what worried Wang Chengen even more was that his own emperor was going to inspect Anhua Temple. This was a first-class event.
If it were normal, it would not be easy for the emperor to come up with the Forbidden City. After all, there are too many rules involved.
But now that the country is in turmoil, even the outer dynasty does not dare to easily advise the emperor. In Wang Chengen's view, it is okay even if the civil servants of the outer dynasty know about it, but the people accompanying him must
Arrange it properly.
"The Emperor is going to inspect Anhua Temple. How do you think Han Yuanfu and the others will react if they find out?" Zhou Yanru looked at Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Xu Guangqi who were frowning on the left and right, and said in a low voice.
"..."
However, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Xu Guangqi and others ignored Zhou Yanru, which made Zhou Yanru feel a little unhappy. They all pretended to be aloof.
"Zhou Qing, Xu Qing, please get ready and follow me on a tour to Anhua Temple."
Emperor Chongzhen picked up the written document, blew the wet ink on it, and said to Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi.
"Pang Tianshou, please take this document immediately and go to the Military War Bureau in person to ask Zhang Yixian to rectify the production process of the Military War Bureau according to the contents of the document."
"I obey the order!"
"My slave obeys the order!"
Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Pang Tianshou and others, after hearing what Emperor Chongzhen said, they either walked forward quickly from their seats, or walked in from outside the hall, and bowed their hands.
Fortunately, no more time was wasted. With the process of assembly line operation, as long as the supply of materials is sufficient and the warfighting bureau becomes proficient, the output will definitely explode.
Emperor Chongzhen stood up and looked at Pang Tianshou who was leaving in a hurry, but he felt emotional in his heart. With Jianlu, who was currently invincible in the field, there was no way to defeat them without some new tricks.
There are fire thunders with enhanced power, as well as selected high-quality Lumi guns and bird guns, plus finely processed and packaged granular gunpowder and lead bullets. These are distributed to the Yongwei battalion who have been training, presumably to help them strengthen.
Combat strength.
It's a pity that I don't know much about the development of firearms, and the manufacturing process of rifled flintlock guns is limited to the literal meaning. Otherwise, with a magical modification, the Ming firearms would have advanced by leaps and bounds.
I regret not studying well at first.
With bursts of emotion, Emperor Chongzhen walked out of the main hall of the military aircraft office and prepared to leave the palace and go to Anhua Temple to inspect the Yongwei Camp he had built.
"Xu Qing, do you know of anyone who is proficient in firearms?"
On the way forward, Emperor Chongzhen asked Xu Guangqi, who was following behind him: "Our country lags far behind in the development of firearms. In addition, do you know that there are talents in this field in the West?"
Xu Guangqi hurriedly bowed his head slightly and said: "Your Majesty, I know some talents who are proficient in firearms. One is Sun Yuanhua, Bi Maokang, Jiao Xu, Song Yingxing..."
After hearing those familiar names, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "Xu Qing, please remember that after this tour, you will use the name of the Military Aircraft Department to bring these Ming talents and Western talents to
All talents are recruited to the capital.
I am planning to set up a military academy to specialize in the development of firearms and other items. In the future, if our Ming Dynasty wants to defeat the Jianlu, we must make many breakthroughs in the field of firearms."
Emperor Chongzhen, who was familiar with the historical process, understood that the future battlefield would definitely be an era of firearms.
