Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 525 The Beginning of Standardization
Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to be too distracted to manage the right and wrong going on in the temple, whether it was scheming or endless party disputes, it wasn't something he could kill with just a few words.

From the dispute over the foundation of the country in the Wanli Dynasty, the intensified party struggle has penetrated into every inch of the Ming Dynasty.

The human heart is, after all, the most difficult thing to see through and guess at in this world.

The position of the buttocks represents the words to be spoken, and the dispute between imperial power and ministerial power will be manifested and erupted everywhere.

At present, Emperor Chongzhen is concerned about the advancement of the Liaodong war situation. Liu Xingzuo led the Dongjiang Army to participate in the war and actively opened up a second battlefield in southern Liaoning, which also declared that the Liaodong war situation has entered a new stage.

When it comes to military guidance on the frontline battlefield, Emperor Chongzhen, who is thousands of miles away, can do very little.

After all, the battle situation on the frontline is changing rapidly. If you don't know these changes, it will only be counterproductive to rashly issue so-called military orders to restrain the generals and schools fighting on the frontline.

Emperor Chongzhen would never do such things as micromanagement commands.

West Hills.

"Masters, the current situation in Liaodong is turbulent, and the demand for various types of firearms, gunpowder products, ordnance, etc. will continue to increase over time."

Surrounded by everyone, Emperor Chongzhen looked serious, and said as he walked: "The military industry under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces Institute must ensure the quality of each piece of production under the premise of ensuring the output.

This is the red line, and there must be no mistakes.

I know that you are under a lot of pressure, but the soldiers who are fighting on the front line are all under the threat of being killed, so we must help them arm themselves. "

Jiao Xu, Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang, and Wang Zheng, all the heroes of the Armed Forces Institute, all looked serious. They all knew what kind of battle the Liaodong side was going through.

Since the beginning of the war in Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen would send Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua and other confidant eunuchs to brief the senior officials of the Armed Forces Academy, such as Jiao Xu and Song Yingxing, in order to urge them to produce more.

At present, many large-scale chemical factories are being built around the Xishan area, especially the military industry is developing the most rapidly. After all, the demand for firearms, artillery, ordnance, armor, etc. is too high.

The armies fighting in Shanshan and Liaodong, the armies defending Gyeonggi, and the armies controlled by Emperor Chongzhen alone are extremely large.

The key to promoting industrial development is demand!
When they came to a production workshop, Song Yingxing stepped forward and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, these are the several types of wooden lathes developed by our Armed Forces Academy some time ago, in accordance with His Majesty's will.

According to the needs of different productions, these wooden lathes produced will be assigned to different industrial lines and participate in actual production.

As long as the Armed Forces Institute is given some more time, the ministers and others can assure His Majesty that the output of various military industries under their jurisdiction will be greatly improved. "

Song Yingxing's words echoed in his ears, Emperor Chongzhen's sharp gaze was fixed on the unfinished wooden lathes in front of him, and many craftsmen stood aside nervously.

These wooden lathes placed in front of them look so bulky and crude. If they were placed in later generations, they would not even be called defective products, they could only be called tattered.

But for the current Daming, it represents the most critical step towards standardized production.

No matter what you do, it is often difficult to kick the first three legs. After all, Daming did not have these things before, and Song Yingxing and the others fumbled for everything.

People like Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, and Bi Maokang inevitably became nervous when they saw their emperor standing silently.

In order to develop these wooden lathes, the Armed Forces Academy spent a lot of money.

Every component has been deliberated and tested repeatedly, including the definition of various dimensions, different specifications of knives, different classifications of different knives, different specifications of sand plates, etc. After all the tests, the silver is like running water.

"I will not only give you time, but also money."

When everyone was nervous, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and said: "I only have a rough understanding of the many fields involved in the Military Equipment Academy, and the key lies in you.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

How to study it, I don't know.

But I hope that all members of the Armed Forces Institute can uphold the attitude of seeking truth from facts, and be patient and work hard in these fields involved.

Whether Daming can change in the future, whether it can be rejuvenated, in a sense, depends on how many new things you can study at the Armed Forces Institute. "

"I would like to obey the edict!"

Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, and Bi Maokang all bowed to each other.

There are no shortcuts to learn from in the exploration and development of the field of science and technology, only continuous research and continuous investment of money.

What Emperor Chongzhen could do was to tell the superficial knowledge of Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu and other great heroes of the Ming Dynasty, so that they could get together and engage in various researches without distraction.

Discuss with Western missionaries, and make as many sparks as possible.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen kept paying out money to prevent the Armed Forces Academy from lacking the support of money and being forced to stagnate.

Since the field studied by the Armed Forces Academy has been done, it cannot be abandoned halfway, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen will suffer a big loss, and all the money invested in the early stage will be in vain.

"As for the development of the rifle, how is it going?"

Coming out of the workshop, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Maokang and asked, "According to the military reports from the Yongwei Camp, Shenji Camp and other places, the flintlocks that were distributed were effective on the battlefield.

However, in my opinion, the flintlock is just the beginning. The rifled flintlock I am talking about will bring new breakthroughs and changes to firearms, including changes in ammunition. "

"minister……"

Bi Maokang showed a little depression between his brows, and he cupped his hands to plead guilty: "I haven't been able to study it out yet, and it is too difficult to describe the rifling, and there are too many difficulties that need to be overcome.

Even if it is carved by hand, the defective products are still high, my minister..."

"Okay, let's eat the meal one bite at a time."

Upon seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and comforted him: "I know how difficult the things the Qing family has done are, I know in my heart, it's all right, take your time, I have confidence that the Qing family will be able to do it well."

In a sense, the achievements of Xishan at the present stage were achieved by Emperor Chongzhen’s piling up of silver. Once the supply of silver is lost, many fields involved will surely fall into a situation of stagnation. .

But so what?
If you want to change Ming Dynasty, if you don’t take this path, you will have nowhere to go. Even if there is a problem with the money, Emperor Chongzhen will try his best to solve it, instead of cutting off the fields that the Armed Forces Institute is involved in.
