"Figured out?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Sun Chuanting's face was full of shame: "Thanks to His Majesty's words, it is people, not weapons, that determine the outcome of a war. I regard it as the guideline for victory."
"Just understand it. You have also seen that firearms are becoming more and more powerful, and this will definitely be the trend in the future.
But it is definitely not impossible to defeat. There are always more methods than difficulties. Think carefully about how to defend and how to attack. "
"I would like to listen to your Majesty's teachings!"
Chongzhen was very satisfied that everyone could figure it out.
"Okay, now that I've figured it out, I'll give you a task!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
Sun Chuanting and others all bowed.
"First, the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Warrior Camp will add an additional project of projecting palm thunder to their daily training from tomorrow.
You can ask Dean Xu to make some molds for training. The Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army will not use them for the time being.
Second, two thousand people were selected from the nine guards of the Forbidden Army. The selection criteria were only two points, running fast and throwing far!
During this month, I will be independent. I will only train these two items in a closed manner and keep them strictly confidential. "
The four people were shocked, and their faces instantly became serious. They sensed from the emperor's words that something big was about to happen.
After several people responded, Sun Chuanting said softly: "Your Majesty, is there a standard for how far this throw should go?"
"standard?"
A trace of thought flashed in Chongzhen's eyes, and then he said: "The further away, the better, at least twenty-two feet."
One foot three meters three, twenty-two feet is converted into seventy-two meters.
The passing standard required by the military in later generations was forty meters, and fifty meters was considered excellent.
Some who have trained for a long time can reach 70 meters. The world record is 102 meters (31 feet), which has not been broken yet.
At present, the effective killing range of the fire gun is fifty meters, and the armor-piercing distance is thirty meters.
If the sergeant can throw it seventy meters, with the explosive power of the palm thunder, a sudden and intensive attack will be an absolute killer.
"Okay, let's get ready!"
The four of them saluted Chongzhen and were about to turn around and exit Dongnuan Pavilion when Huang Degong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing!"
"explain!"
"Your Majesty, while I was in Beijing, I discovered a fierce man. I think he is quite suitable for the commanding staff of Wu Xiang's right guard."
Huang Degong's words stunned Sun Chuanting and others, and Chongzhen was also a little surprised. Are there any famous generals in Beijing?
Chongzhen asked with great interest: "Who?"
"The man I met while recruiting troops was named Sun Yingyuan."
"Sun Yingyuan?"
Huang Degong's words made a bright light flash in Chongzhen's mind.
In history, there are not many records about Sun Yingyuan. They only record the famous generals of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know who they were.
The Yongwei Camp existed during the Jiajing period. At that time, the Tengxiang Four Guards under the Yuma Supervisor were reorganized into the Warriors Camp and the Four Guards Camp, collectively known as the Yongwei Camp.
During the Tianqi years, Tianqi made some adjustments to this army, but its combat effectiveness continued to decline.
In the sixth year of Chongzhen's reign, Cao Huachun was appointed as the eunuch in charge of the eunuch's rites and the eunuch in charge of printing, and also served as the eunuch in charge of the printing department, Yongweiying.
Only then began to reorganize the two teams, and the Four Guards Battalion was incorporated into the Warriors Battalion and renamed the Brave Guards Battalion.
Subsequently, loyal and brave men were carefully recruited to join the army and underwent high-intensity training every day.
It was not until the ninth year of Chongzhen that the Qing army entered the border with the Japanese invaders, and Yongwei Battalion stood out and became famous in one battle.
In the following years, the Yongwei camp fought several battles with the rebels and Jian Nu, and they were invincible. The battles made Li Zicheng and Jian Nu frightened.
But in the end, the situation deteriorated too seriously, and the Yongwei camp could not hold on alone. The generals died in battle, and the Yongwei camp was completely wiped out.
When Chongzhen crossed over to rectify the four guards of Tengxiang and summoned Cao Wenzhao and others, he wanted to find Sun Yingyuan.
But there are really few historical records. He doesn't even know where he is from, what year he entered the Beijing camp, and what year he entered the Yongwei camp.
It was nothing, and he didn't expect to be discovered by Huang Degong.
I wonder if this Sun Yingyuan will be that famous general in history.
Without waiting for Chongzhen to ask, Sun Chuanting whispered: "Commander Huang, is there anything special about this new soldier?"
"Commander Sundu, Gao Jian!"
Listening to Huang Degong's words, everyone rolled their eyes. This idiot couldn't even praise anyone.
In front of the emperor, recommend a new soldier to be the commander of Wu Xiang's right guard. If this new soldier has no special qualities, you Huang Degong will not be able to kill him with nine heads.
"Your Majesty, Sun Yingyuan was originally a member of the Jizhou Guards. Two years ago, the Jizhou Guards were transferred to the capital to serve as guards and train.
Outstanding performance, leading thousands of households under his command to win martial arts performances several times.
The generals in the capital camp wanted to recruit them, but they were rejected.
Later, he reported that the training in the Beijing camp was fraudulent and free of charge, which offended Duke Cheng and other nobles.
Then he was accused of bullying the emperor, dismissed from his post, and investigated.
He was only a member of the fifth-rank Qianhu family, not hereditary and without any background. He had offended the Duke and nobles of the current dynasty, and no one dared to mention this matter about him.
Until some time ago when we were recruiting new soldiers, he thought that the Four Guards of Tengxiang were His Majesty's own troops and that Duke Cheng and others could not reach that far.
With his ability, he will soon be able to join a hundred households under the general banner. When the time comes, it will be very easy to make a contribution and become a thousand households.
At that time, the recruits' performance during the competition did not look like recruits at all, which caught my attention, so I chatted with him, and then I found out about these things.
I also secretly inquired about it, and found out that what happened in Jingying was exactly the same as what he said. "
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting and others had very angry expressions on their faces. They were all military generals who dedicated themselves to serving the country, but they were subjected to such unyielding treatment.
Chongzhen looked calm and said calmly: "You go ahead and do your work. I will consider this matter."
The four of them bowed and left. Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and said, "Big companion, send a message to Li Ruolian and ask him to check on Sun Yingyuan."
"Slave, go now!"
After Wang Chengen left, Chongzhen's dull expression instantly darkened.
Let alone the issue of the capital camp, he wanted to kill Duke Cheng directly just because of the disaster in Shaanxi and what he said in court a few days ago.
It's a pity that the war is about to begin. If a prince is moved, it will inevitably cause turmoil among the nobles and may add some variables.
"Old man, I'll have a good chat with you after I round up and kill the Jian slaves who enter the customs!"
Chongzhen said harshly in his heart.
At this time in the Ming Dynasty, the nobles were so stupid that they dared to do anything but did not do serious things.
After destroying the Ming Dynasty, wouldn't they be the first to be liquidated by the enemy? Why can't they understand such a simple truth?
As for the historical record that Sun Yingyuan served as a staff general in the Beijing camp, it is likely that Li Banghua restored his official position when he reorganized the Beijing camp.
After complaining for a few words, Wang Chengen came back: "Your Majesty, Commander Li Ruolian of the Jinyi Guards wants to see you!"
After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Chongzhen was stunned for a moment. Didn't he send a letter to check the person? What are he doing here at this time?
"pass!"
