Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 262 Xishan Musket Camp

"Your Majesty, you have moved all the firearms, gunpowder and other departments under the jurisdiction of the Military Warfare Bureau and Armament Bureau to Xishan with the Armed Forces Academy. Then the defense..." Wang Chengen bowed slightly and reminded Emperor Chongzhen.

Wang Chengen has a new understanding of the importance his prince attaches to the Armed Forces Institute, especially the military bureau and military bureau that affect the interests of many people. He must be reminded.

"I'm thinking about that too."

Emperor Chongzhen stood up, walked back and forth in the East Nuan Pavilion, frowned and said: "The place on the West Mountain is, after all, some distance away from the capital.

If something really happens, even if you want to solve it, there will be too little time.

If there is no special army to be responsible for the defense of the Xishan area, there will inevitably be hidden dangers, such as guards stealing themselves, craftsmen fleeing, etc., will all happen.

In addition, the Military Weapons Bureau, Bingzheng Bureau and other departments all moved with the Armed Forces Academy to Xishan Luoya, and I plan to ask the Armed Forces Academy to take charge of it. "

As the firearms and gunpowder manufacturing units of various systems in the Ming Dynasty in Gyeonggi, whether it is the military bureau or the military bureau, they come from different systems after all. They are called the Armed Forces Institute engaged in research and development. , there is resistance, and even secretly stumbling things.

As far as the current ethos of the Ming Dynasty was concerned, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to think about it at all. He didn't have an Armed Forces Academy that could act as a deterrent, so it was definitely unrealistic to control the military and military bureaus.

"My lord, do you want to set up a guard station in Xishan?" Wang Chengen followed behind Emperor Chongzhen, carefully expressing his thoughts.

"not good."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "If we really want to set up a guard, is the Xishan Guard in charge of the Armed Forces Academy? Or is the Armed Forces Academy in charge of the Xishan Guard?
Wang Banban, go and call someone, and call Gao Qiqian to me. "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed his body to answer.

Daming's guard system is now completely broken, it can't play its original role at all, and it has even become a moth attached to Daming.

If the Ming army wants to restore its strength in the past, it must use a new military system to gradually eliminate the degenerate guard system and train a new army.

Right now, all the experiences in Xiyuan Lecture Hall, including those orphans raised, are planned by Emperor Chongzhen.

When the "civilian is noble and military is inferior" at the political level is reversed, and the Ming Dynasty's so-called "good men are not soldiers" ideology is corrected, and more professional soldiers are cultivated, then the Ming Dynasty's army will become stronger!

The Armed Forces Institute is in charge of the firearms and gunpowder affairs under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Military Warfare, the Military Weapons Bureau, and so on. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to use this to integrate military production in Gyeonggi, and to continuously mass-produce firearms with strong performance and high quality. , To lay the foundation for the subsequent rectification of the three battalions to meet the needs of the replacement.

"The servants stand up high and dive to pay respects to the emperor."

Looking at Gao Qiqian who was bowing his hands, and Emperor Chongzhen who was standing with his hands behind his back, he thought for a while and said, "Gao Qiqian, how is the reconstruction going on at the Four Guards Camp?"

Since it is necessary to give the Armed Forces Institute special privileges and ask Xu Guangqi and the others to prepare for the establishment of the first military industrial system in the Ming Dynasty, all hidden dangers must be eliminated and the problem must be truly solved.

Gao Qi leaned forward and said: "Going back to the emperor, thanks to the part of the elites drawn from the Yongwei Battalion and the Zhongyong Army, the current Siwei Battalion has been fully rebuilt.

Although it is not comparable to the strength of the Yongwei Battalion and the Zhongyong Army at the moment, I believe that in time, the Siwei Battalion will..."

This touting ability is really strong enough.

For the Four Guards Camp, who have never been on the battlefield and seen blood, it is pure wishful thinking to catch up with such powerful troops as the Yongwei Camp, Zhongyong Army, and Tianxiong Army.

"well done."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind and said: "I want to move the Armed Forces Academy to Xishan, and the Bureau of Military Warfare, Bureau of Military Weapons and other departments with firearms and gunpowder under its jurisdiction will also be moved there.

Considering that Xishan is far away from the capital, I decided to create the Xishan Firearms Battalion, which is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Four Guards Battalion, but in fact it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces Academy.

You select [-] soldiers from the Four Guards Camp, and set up a guerrilla general to be dispatched by Xu Qing to shoulder the defense of Xishan Mountain.

After settling down in Xishan, the Xishan Musketeer Battalion will recruit another [-] auxiliary soldiers. They will be treated equally according to treatment and training standards. You know what to do, right? "

"Slaves understand!"

Gao Qiqian hastily clapped his hands to answer, but he felt a little suspicious in his heart, his royal lord treated the Armed Forces Academy too kindly.

They moved to Xishan, and even created a special army, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Equipment Academy, and was nominally under the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Isn't this a clear attempt to silence the ministers of the court?

In fact, Gao Qiqian's speculation was correct, but his thinking was a little superficial. Emperor Chongzhen did this to use various methods to expand his actual military power.

The Zhongyong Army stationed in the Fengtai Camp and the Xishan Firearms Battalion stationed in Xishan are only dispatched by Emperor Chongzhen, rather than being transferred with an official letter from the Ministry of War.

This is for the subsequent rectification of the three major battalions, and the group of generals who have graduated from the Xiyuan Lecture Hall can avoid accidents when they take over the three major battalions.

Whether the three battalions are organized well or not will be related to Emperor Chongzhen's many plans in the future, including quelling the Shanshan Rebellion, gradually replacing the old army, conquering the Jianlu Eight Banners, and so on.

"My lord...if the ministers in the imperial court know about the creation of the Xishan Gunbattalion, I'm afraid it will cause some trouble?" Wang Chengen stepped forward and said.

"What kind of disturbance can it cause?"

Emperor Chongzhen asked back: "The Xishan Firearms Battalion was nominally transferred from the Four Guards Battalion of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. I asked the Four Guards Battalion to go to Xishan to be responsible for the defense of the Armed Forces Academy and other places. Is there something wrong?

Wang Banban, you are the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and seals, and the admiral who is in charge of factory affairs. Don't always be so introverted. If you can really share my worries, understand? "

"The servant understands."

In fact, if you want to check and balance the Great Ming Dynasty, and make all parties restrict each other, the group of eunuchs in the inner court must stand up and help Emperor Chongzhen to share his worries.

Influenced by Wei Xun of the Tianqi Dynasty, the group of eunuchs in the Chongzhen Dynasty was far from reaching that level. The Chongzhen Emperor had to train credible and usable eunuchs like Wang Chengen so that they could be independent.

As for the eunuchs like Gao Qiqian, they just need to be tied to them for use. If they really don't open their eyes, and they behave differently on the surface, then they will be killed.

However, through the performance of Wang Chengen and the others, Emperor Chongzhen also knew in his heart that there was still a long way to go before those credible and usable eunuchs could truly stand on their own. Re-cultivate, otherwise the imperial power cannot be exerted to the extreme.
