But Xu Guangqi said in a sarcasm: "I have lost my temper, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Chongzhen said: "This kind of gaffe, I hope the more the better."

After sighing for a while, Chongzhen said again: "Right now, I have a task for Xu Aiqing to handle."

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions."

Chongzhen said: "I will order people to build this Daming Royal Academy at Huangzhuang in the south of Beijing. The former Fandi cement workshop will incorporate its researchers into the Royal Academy. The entire academy will be constructed with cement, modeled on the imperial city. For defense, I will order Jinyiwei and the Internal Police Department to cooperate and jointly defend, and we must do a good job of keeping secrets.

After the Daming Royal Academy was completed, Xu Aiqing organized manpower to focus on the development of muskets.

I have made several requests, and Xu Aiqing must fulfill them.

First, this musket must be fired with flint, and cannot be ignited with a matchlock.

Second, I think the ammunition of this musket is smashed into the enemy with a cleaning rod from the front of the breech, which is very inconvenient.

Xu Aiqing took a look at how to pack these ammunition quantitatively and pack them in advance. When facing the enemy, you only need to put the ammunition into the gun and fire it.

In this way, wouldn't this Jiannu really have to line up and wait for our army to shoot him?

The third is about the range of muskets.If the range of the musket is farther than that of the crossbow, Jiannu will die. "

Xu Guangqi smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, the first two questions are easy to talk about, if you study slowly, there is always hope.

It's just that it's not easy to improve the range of this musket. "

But Chongzhen said: "Xu Aiqing don't worry, I'm a layman, I'm just offering my opinion. How about the range, you can try to extend the barrel, drill a spiral bore into the barrel, and see if it can be extended.

However, I am a layman after all, so Xu Aiqing has to worry about how to do it.I just put forward opinions, as for how to do it, it is a question for you, the president of the Royal Academy.

In addition, don't be afraid of wasting materials, experiment more, and don't be afraid of failure. In any case, my internal money is for Ai Qing, so Ai Qing can do it with confidence. "

After Xu Guangqi was arranged, Chongzhen then began to discuss the issue of the new army with Liu Xingzuo.

Chapter 74 New Army

"New army, the new army I want must not be the same as the previous guard!"

Chongzhen felt that the Weisuo system had a good side, but it also had many shortcomings.

Emperor Taizu Hongwu created the Weisuo system not only to prevent the separatist regime in the former Tang Dynasty, but also to solve the disadvantages of the lack of combat power in the Song Dynasty.

When Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Chengzu were in power, it was the soldiers of these guards who chased death all the way to the north, and rubbed empires as strong as Mengyuan under their feet.

Of course, the fighting power of the civil and military officials of Ming Dynasty to mess up good things was once again reflected in the guard system. The guard system was corrupted all the way. In the period of Emperor Yingzong, even the capital was almost lost. Even Emperor Yingzong , was also taken captive to the grassland by the Wala tribe on the grassland.

In the Chongzhen period, even if the soldiers of today's guards are stronger than the two-spear soldiers of Miqing, they are probably limited in strength.

Today's guard soldiers in the Ming Dynasty are not like professional soldiers, but more like farmers who cultivate the land, or it is more appropriate to say that they are tenants of the generals of the guard.

In comparison, what Chongzhen admired most was the professional army of the Rabbit's Turtle Army, which was later called the Quilt Army.

Although the soil beetle army of the flower planters of later generations was ridiculed by the little rabbits in their own family as a soil beetle, with a combat power of five, it always appeared in people's field of vision with the image of soil dregs, but no one dared to underestimate the soil beetle's combat power Look at it - at least he is one of the five big gangsters, but he has just faced the other four big gangsters.

The only time in history that the United Nations dispatched the so-called United Nations army was in the hands of the Turtle Army, which was still millet plus rifles at that time.After World War I in Korea, the U.N. Army, which was humiliated by rabbits, simply changed its name to the Peacekeeping Force. Since then, the so-called U.N. Army has never appeared again.

Far away, not to mention the combat effectiveness of the Turtle Army Rabbit, but in terms of its military and civilian fish and water conditions alone, it would kill the armies of other countries.

Whether it is a flood or an earthquake, as long as there is danger, there will inevitably be that camouflage green with soil and dregs all over it, and the reaction of the people is, Fuck, the army rabbit is here, you can rest assured-the people of the rabbit family, never There is no need to worry about someone driving five pairs of wheels and armed with live ammunition to rescue disasters during floods and earthquakes.

Of course, this is the military rabbit of the florist in later generations, but what about Daming's?

"Run, hurry up and hide! The army is coming soon!" It was like fucking a devil entering the village.

At that time or before the Turtle Army, banditry was like a comb, and soldiers were like a grate, it was not a joke, especially the guest army.

Even if the local army cares about the kindness of fellow countrymen or the habit of rabbits not eating grass beside their nests, it will be a disaster to the local people, but the foreign soldiers, Qiu Ba, don't have such scruples. The misfortune of the place will be even more severe.

Since Chongzhen knew how powerful the army and civilians of the later generations were, the Turtle Army was very powerful, so his goal was very clear. What he wanted was this kind of army that could not be dragged down, could not be defeated, and could be integrated with the people.

In the eyes of Chongzhen, the army should be an efficient killing machine, a violent institution in the imperial system that is responsible for dealing with all unstable factors. It is a joke in itself that such things as farming appear in the army.An army that is not a professional soldier cannot be called an army at all. It is more appropriate to call it regiment training or village courage.

Therefore, Chongzhen said to Liu Xingzuo: "My knowledge of military affairs is limited, but I still want to make a few requests.

First, people who starve to death do not rob food, freeze to death do not demolish houses, and do not take needles and threads from the people.

Throughout the history books, only Yue Wumu's army can be said to be victorious in every battle. I think his military discipline must have its merits.

Serving as a soldier is not only to eat the royal rations, but also to protect the family and the country. What is defended is the parents, wives and children behind him. Therefore, this military discipline must be firmly grasped.

Second, it is military discipline.As the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, once the military orders are issued, no matter whether there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, you have to go wherever you need to go.As long as there is no order to withdraw troops from the rear, even the last person in the battle is not allowed to take half a step back.

This is the kind of strong army that can't be dragged down or defeated in my heart. "

Liu Xingzuo heard the words and said: "Your Majesty's words are very true. There are clouds in the art of war, aggression is like fire, and immovability is like a mountain. This is the military discipline. When you hear the drums on the battlefield, you will advance, and the gold will retreat. Like arms and fingers, In order to be victorious in all battles.

However, I still have some questions.If you abandon the sword and rely only on the musket, it may still be difficult to defeat the enemy.After all, Jiannu cavalry were extremely fast, and if Jiannu rushed into the army formation, the consequences would be disastrous. "

Chongzhen laughed and said, "Aside from guns, isn't there also artillery?

In addition to cannons, wouldn't it be good to research something that is closer than muskets, but with stronger lethality?

What's more, this musket can still be equipped with a short-bladed bayonet. If an enemy is close, you can also fight the enemy with the bayonet, right?

Qing Ke went to find Ji Xiao's new book to read, there are many methods of using firearms in battle, and I also deeply agree.

I think that as long as the logistics can keep up, it is nothing to worry about building slaves.

However, you have to curry favor with Xu Aiqing, your equipment from now on will all be developed by their Royal Academy. "

After laughing, Chongzhen continued: "In addition, this new army only recruits sons from good families.

Anyone who has someone in the family who is a businessman, someone in the family who is an official, or who has experience as an official, will not be accepted.

All those who are admitted must be checked for three generations, and they must be the children of innocent farmers who have been farming for three generations before they can be admitted.

As for the investigation of the Three Generations, Liu Aiqing can ask Jin Yiwei Tian Ergeng for help, and she must check it out. "

"As the saying goes, there is a raging army, and a raging army. I entrust the matter of the new army to Liu Aiqing. Liu Aiqing must not let me down."

When Liu Xingzuo heard the words, he knelt down on one knee and said in a polite manner during the march: "I will live up to your Majesty's high expectations. If there is any mistake, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"

When Liu Xingzuo and Xu Guangqi left the palace, Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I have almost got everything in my mind, and even talked about the national flag class and military parade with Liu Xingzuo in pieces.

More things, how can I know so much as a programmer, and I am not a national defense graduate.
