Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 216 The Prince Is Here

Forty court sticks are already quite strict rules. In fact, as long as Chongzhen wants a minister to die, not to mention forty sticks, perhaps even ten sticks will not be used.

It can be seen how angry these nobles made Chongzhen, don't you want to die?
Then see if your mouth is hard or your butt is hard!
Of course Li Yunkui knew Chongzhen's true thoughts, and he just wanted to teach these nobles who didn't know the crisis of the court and acted mischievously.

In fact, as the eunuch next to the emperor, the most important thing is to find out what the emperor really thinks.

As for Chongzhen's order just now, if the eunuch who misunderstood really gave everyone four court sticks, it is estimated that all the dozen or so nobles would have to go down to see Emperor Taizu that day.

And killing more than a dozen nobles and one hereditary prince at once, Chongzhen must be charged with another crime of indiscriminate killing of heroes, but the first to die must be the eunuch who was imprisoned.

But even if the water is released again, these forty court sticks are down, it is estimated that these nobles will have to lie at home for ten days and a half months.

After driving away a group of annoying salted fish, Chongzhen no longer had the mood to review memorials.

Simply let someone pass the meal, and sit on the briquette stove and drink boring wine.

The next day, An Guohou Liu Hongjian still did not come to the court, and Chongzhen sat on the throne and glanced at the end of the military officials from time to time.

An Guohou was often late for the court, and Chongzhen knew it well, but Liu Hongjian didn't come when the morning court was over.

This Zhuzi even flirted with me, didn't he just say a few words about you?I didn't wrong you!

Chongzhen thought of all the blame he had borne for An Guohou in the past year, and suddenly felt that he was wronged.

From sniping Li Zicheng to taking Wu Sangui, bloody battles in Shanhaiguan, to the leveling of mountains and Shaanxi, large-scale conscription, and promotion of new crops.

Which one of his actions didn't he bear many civil and military accusations, abuse and dissatisfaction in the court?

Without Chongzhen's support in the court, making decisions for and backing An Guohou, An Guohou would not have survived three chapters.

This was probably Chongzhen's own thoughts, he felt wronged.

As for Liu Hongjian, Marquis of Anguo, he felt that he had been tossing around for a year, working hard for whom and for whom?
In the end, he was scolded a lot, and he is also a young man from later generations. If he is from the Ming Dynasty, so what if he is scolded by the emperor?What a big deal?
But Liu Hongjian didn't think so. Without Chongzhen, he could have bought a piece of land, kept dozens of domestic slaves, married three or two wives, and became his happy little landlord in peace.

With AKM in hand, who has led the world for more than three centuries, who would dare to find fault with him?
But since I became a migrant worker for Chongzhen, I have to get up early every two days, and run all the way to the palace for a meeting in the freezing weather.

Not to mention, he has to put a burden on his shoulders at every turn. At the beginning, it was Shanhaiguan, and after Shanhaiguan, it was Shanshan and Shanxi. Now he is part-time farming and is also promoted to the Beijing camp.

I'm so busy every day, I don't have time to spend with my wife and children!

Now I still have to be disgusted by others, the most aggrieved and wronged person in the world is myself!
That's why Liu Hongjian didn't go to court for the past two days, and reported to the Ministry of Officials because he was already sick. Speaking of which, Chongzhen helped him think of this reason.

Liu Hongjian didn't go to court or go back to court, Liu Hongjian didn't get drunk at home, in fact it wasn't a big deal, it was just a matter of anger.

In order to vent his anger, Liu Hongjian simply went to the barracks of Qianhusuo, and practiced musket formation with a group of young men every day.

In order to fight against the cavalry outside the pass, Liu Hongjian discussed with Karl to improve the existing square array and change it to a circular array.

When the two armies confront each other, the musketeers line up in a circular formation in the center, with the infantry behind them and friendly cavalry on both sides.

The enemy cavalry must first rush into the musketeer phalanx and endure several rounds of volleys from the musketeers before fighting against the cavalry and crossbowmen.

Custom-loading paper shell bullets has greatly improved the efficiency of the original loading method, and Uncle Song even had a whim to customize the bullet belt for Qianhusuo.

When going out to battle, each person's chest is covered with a row of fixed-load ammunition, a row of thirty rounds, which is enough to support a battle.

The distance between the Qianhusuo barracks and the Xishan Jingjun camp was only one or two miles, and there were bursts of gunfire from time to time, which surprised the Jingying camp at first.

Zhang Huaizhong, the deputy admiral in charge of the training of the new army in the Beijing camp, also sent many newly promoted junior generals to visit the Qianhu Institute. These generals were not only shocked by the volley of guns, but also envious.

After winning Liu Hongjian's hand, he was going to distribute this kind of musket to the Beijing camp, and many generals of the Beijing camp returned excitedly.

After the assembly line became more mature, another 400 craftsmen were recruited. At present, the Ordnance Institute can produce more than [-] new-style quick-fire guns per day and more than [-] rounds of paper case ammunition.

However, because the soldiers of the Qianhu Institute have been doing a lot of training, the paper shell bullets have been in a state of being unable to make ends meet, and the paper shell bullets that have just been produced are often wiped out by the Qianhu Institute.

The Qianhu Institute now implements a full-time training system, and a certain amount of training tasks must be completed every day, and those who fail to pass will be punished.

This is very different from other troops. In fact, in ancient times, because the productivity could not keep up, the burden of raising an army was beyond imagination.

This is especially true for the army of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court had no money to pay the army, so the soldiers naturally slacked off on training.

In fact, even if the military salary is paid on time, the barracks will not train day and night every day. Most of the training for one or two days a week is a heavy amount of training.

There is no other reason. During training, soldiers have to eat more food, and war horses have to eat beans. This is a very large expense.

In fact, the Qi family army with the strongest combat power in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and later Yu Dayou's troops, why were they so powerful?

The answer: They are all fed with silver!
Discipline certainly plays a very important role, but if there is no money, do you expect illiterate recruits recruited from the mountains to die for your country?
Don't talk about it, even if General Qi has Zhang Juzhong's stand in the court, his Qi's army can't train all day every day. If they want to train all day, they must keep up with nutrition.

Fortunately, there were only [-] soldiers in the Qianhusuo, and their immediate boss, Anguohou Liu Hongjian, was also a rich and powerful man.

Three meals a day, every meal can be eaten vigorously, and there is still a chicken leg every day.

Good soldiers are trained, and good marksmanship is produced by feeding bullets!
For three days, Liu Hongjian's ears were almost out of order from the sound of gunfire, but he was very excited.

This was the first army he personally built. Although it was not large, it was indeed the only musket force in the Ming Dynasty.

It is foreseeable that this army will become the pride of Ming Dynasty in the future!If Uncle Chongzhen doesn't find trouble for him!
"My lord! Someone is coming from the palace! It seems...it's the prince...His Royal Highness the prince!" Chang Yu, the deputy thousand household officer, hurried over from outside the barracks.
