"Is Your Majesty thinking about the martial arts performance just now?"
After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he whispered again: "The sergeant of Taiyuan Town is pretty good! He was able to maintain his position for nearly half a quarter of an hour under the impact of the white-pole soldiers.
Among all the guards and military towns in the entire Ming Dynasty, this can be ranked in the top ten.
It's just that after Long Qingyi and Anda paid tribute to the two towns of Taiyuan and Datong, there were fewer wars, and commerce became more and more developed.
The sergeants in the two towns lacked the baptism of blood and war, and it would be much better to experience a few wars. "
"The sergeant in Taiyuan Town is indeed pretty good, but that's not what I'm thinking about!"
Chongzhen nodded first, then shook his head.
"Yuan Aiqing, when I was discussing the controversy with the audience just now, I realized that I had overlooked a big issue!"
"debate?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Yuan Keli's eyes, and he thought quickly, trying: "Your Majesty is referring to the soldiers' attitude towards firearms?"
"right."
Chongzhen nodded, his expression becoming more solemn.
"Although Cao Bianjiao told them about the power of Hongyi cannons and firearms, it only temporarily shocked them.
They will forget it again in a few days of peace. My statement that most wars in the future will be fought with firearms is by no means an alarmist statement. "
Through the debate just now, he suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, or that he had overlooked something.
Technological progress will definitely have an impact on existing battle tactics, doctrines and regulations, organizational systems and military strategic theories.
He established the Firearms Research Institute, vigorously researched firearms, and even asked the Firearms Research Institute to study firearms tactics and tactics. These are all correct.
But he ignored the men who wielded the weapons, or the generals.
High-ranking generals have despised firearms. No matter how good the firearm is, it is still useless if it cannot be used.
If one day the Mongolian tribes suddenly have firearms, they will be bombarded with a heavy fire on the defense line.
A sergeant who has not been baptized with firearms will definitely panic, and defeat is already doomed.
Although it is an exaggeration to say that a cannonball can wipe out a partial pass, it is definitely feasible to cause damage within a radius of tens of feet.
It is estimated that apart from the generals in Liaodong, only Mangui, You Shilu and other generals transferred back from Liaodong in Xuanfu have a deep understanding of Hongyi cannons and firearms.
"Your Majesty, the use of firearms has only just begun, and there is still time for everything."
Yuan Keli's face also became serious: "The kind of war you mentioned may still take a few years. After we go back this time, the martial arts hall must be operational as soon as possible. It is divided into two levels: children and generals.
The children studied and trained systematically and for a long time. The generals came back to receive the theoretical assault learning of firearms, and then took turns to go to the Liaodong front line to observe and practice.
It is even said that a firearms test firing site can be built around Beijing for the returning generals to observe.
And get started with the operation, allowing them to feel the power of the firearm for themselves. "
"Okay, you take charge of this matter and take action as soon as possible. The general's thinking will directly affect the lives of millions of soldiers. We must not take it lightly."
As soon as he made the decision, Zhou Yuji came in: "Your Majesty, you are ready and ready to go at any time!"
"Okay, tell Marquis Zhongzhen to wait for me outside the city!"
After saying that, he walked outside.
The combination of gunpowder granulation, martial arts lecture hall, and potato harvest made him return home like an arrow.
Two quarters of an hour later, Luan Jia left Pianguan City.
"Marquis Zhongzhen, the candidate for Governor Xuanda has not been decided yet. Please stay for a while. I will confirm it immediately after I return.
During this period, the two thousand white-armed soldiers you brought should not be idle. They should all be mobilized to train the sergeants of Taiyuan Town.
Don’t just limit yourself to the school grounds, go to various fortresses outside the city and conduct military exercises on routes that are easy to attack by foreign enemies.
Simulate the possible appearance and attack methods of foreign enemies. Don't be afraid of offending others and don't save face. Practice to the death.
I'll give it...forget it, just send it here! "
Chongzhen originally wanted to give Qin Liangyu a death target, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
If someone uses this to cause trouble and kills the enemy, it will be a big deal.
Amidst the shocking sound of seeing off His Majesty, Chongzhen's chariot started moving and headed straight for Datong. It could be said that he came and left in a hurry.
Six days later, Luan Jia arrived at Datong Mansion, leaving Han Huang, the cabinet minister who dealt with the eight major locust merchants and rectified Datong Town, leading Datong's new commander-in-chief Hei Yunlong and deputy commander-in-chief Hou Gongji to wait outside Datong City.
"I respectfully welcome His Majesty's Majesty!"
"My dear friends, no courtesy!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he looked at the officials of Datong Mansion and the generals of Datong Town behind Han Huang: "Except Han Huang, Hei Yunlong, and Hou Gongji, the other ministers returned to their posts and performed their duties without being summoned. No audience allowed!"
After some salutes, Chongzhen's Luan Jia arrived at the Jin family compound where the temporary residence was held.
"My dear friends, please sit down for a while while I go take care of some things!"
After saying that, he left, what to do, of course it was convenient.
In the lobby, Yuan Keli, Han Huang, Hei Yunlong, Hou Gongji and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the emperor leaving.
Han Huang saw Yuan Keli's eyes full of excitement and immediately stepped forward to hold Yuan Keli's hand with both hands.
"Brother Liqing, five years ago you were the governor of Denglai. One year ago, you made three resignations and made your own decision on your official career.
I thought we would only be able to meet each other underground in the future. After five years of separation, your style remains the same. Good, good... Haha! "
"Yu Chen, I never thought that one day I would serve as an official. It was a gift from Your Majesty. If it weren't for Your Majesty, we might have...
Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. Your Majesty is a talented person like Yao and Shun. Our wishes will definitely come true. "
When Yuan Keli said this, his eyes were filled with sadness.
He returned home on March 7, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, but the court refused. He was repeatedly promoted to an official position, until he was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he resigned three times before he could return home.
I thought I would entertain my grandchildren at home and educate the people in the countryside. Unexpectedly, two months later, a letter of only six words from the emperor broke my thoughts.
Sure enough, after arriving in Xi'an, the emperor's series of operations shattered his understanding that a young new emperor could be so courageous.
"Hahaha, brother Li Qing, you are all old acquaintances with Hei Yunlong. Let me introduce this to you, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong Town, Hou Gongji!"
Yuan Keli nodded toward Hei Yunlong, and then looked at the energetic Hou Gongji: "One discipline and two general soldiers are rare in the world, and the young ones are to be feared!"
"I've met Mr. Yuan Ge. Mr. Ge has given me a prize!"
"Haha... Since you all know each other, I don't need to introduce you!"
While everyone was chatting, Chongzhen also came back after finishing his work.
After several people saluted again, Chongzhen glanced at everyone, and then looked at Han Huang, who was holding his lower right hand.
"Han Aiqing, tell me about the follow-up issues of the eight major locust merchants!"
