Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 378 The wind - rises!
Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Minister! Huang Liji, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi...greetings to Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy! The king's companion will give you a seat."

Zhu Youjian waved his hands to let everyone get up, and asked Wang Chengen to move a small horse for everyone. After everyone saluted and thanked each other, they sat down, and Zhu Youjian went straight to the point:

"Everyone, now that the spring plowing has passed, what is the preparation of the court, can we start the plan to clear the Eastern captives now?"

After Zhu Youjian's words fell, Cui Chengxiu, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Food, Grass and Supplies is ready, enough for 50 troops for more than two years!"

Xue Fengxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up and reported: "Your Majesty! The Ministry of Weapons and Armors has also completed preparations. In addition to gunpowder, the Ministry of Weapons and Armors has prepared enough for 70 people.

Among them, 30 new-style suifa guns were prepared according to the standards set by Wang Gong Factory, [-] tiger crouching guns, and only [-] flying thunder guns were ordered by His Majesty. However, due to the simple manufacturing process, they can be remade at any time. Many, the Shenwei General Artillery Department, which was improved by the Hongyi cannon, has also built nearly [-] guns, and your Majesty can send someone to check and accept any equipment at any time! "

Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction after listening to it. Since he separated Wang Gong Factory from the Ministry of Works and was directly under his own jurisdiction, the Ministry of Works could only manufacture weapons except for the manufacture of cold weapons and armor, while gunpowder was not. The points are manufactured separately by Wang Gong Factory.

Among them, the reason why Zhu Youjian only allowed to build a thousand Feilei cannons is that although Feilei cannons are good at everything, large in diameter, powerful, and portable, they have a short range and are too dangerous. An accidental enemy blows up his own people before they blow up. The stability is too poor, so Zhu Youjian didn't think about large-scale equipment. It is the right way to gradually replace the heavy artillery with traditional heavy artillery. The Feilei artillery can only be helpless time choice.

The so-called General Shenwei is a breech-mounted smoothbore gun that Zhu Youjian asked Bi Maokang to improve based on the Hongyi cannon. There are two types of shells for this smoothbore gun.

One is the current normal solid ammunition, and the other is the thin-skinned explosive ammunition. In addition to the longer range and shorter reloading time of this gun, it has also undergone great changes. First of all, The barrel was shortened, and the rifling was pulled out with a machine tool, and wheels were installed on both sides, making transportation more convenient.

It can be said that the current Shenwei General Cannon is no longer the same as the previous Hongyi Cannon.

Now the weapons and equipment are ready, and the ammunition was already prepared when he went to Wang Gong's factory two days ago. It can be said that everything is ready now and only owes Dongfeng.

Zhu Youjian immediately turned his head to look at the elders of the cabinet and asked, "Dear dears, is there any question?"

Huang Liji looked left and right, and the other elders turned their heads aside to avoid his sight. They gritted their teeth helplessly, and Huang Liji had no choice but to step forward and say, "Your Majesty, I think it's too urgent to start a war now." , how about postponing it a bit, and waiting to be more fully prepared?"

He still doesn't want to fight. He doesn't trust Qin Tianjian's so-called cause of catastrophe this year. After all, Qin Tianjian's prediction is not wrong once or twice. Come.

Natural disasters are not like storms on the sea that come as soon as they are said, and if they cooperate with natural disasters, they will try their best to attack us, Ming Dynasty, will the disaster be successful?
As soon as Zhu Youjian heard what he said, Zhu Youjian knew what he meant, and immediately raised his hand to stop him, and said directly: "Huang Qing doesn't need to say too much, soldiers are precious and fast, and there has never been a complete and sufficient explanation for this matter, no matter you No matter how you prepare, there will always be deficiencies. If you are not fully prepared, will you stop fighting this battle?

So this thing, as long as it is appropriate, this matter cannot be delayed, and Daming has no time to delay.

That's it, let the notice go on, and order the five armies' governor's office to reorganize [-] troops, and give them at most half a month to prepare. Half a month later, in mid-May, the [-] troops will go to Liaodong!Together with the Liaodong Frontier Army, strangle the remnants of Houjin! "

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Huang Liji couldn't persuade His Majesty anymore, so Huang Liji gave up, and immediately asked, "Your Majesty, who is leading the [-] troops in the capital?"

Zhu Youjian thought for a while, and then said: "The matter of leading the army will be discussed tomorrow morning when the generals in Beijing gather together."

Then Zhu Youjian turned his head and said to Wang Chengen who was on the side: "Wang Banban, you will inform later that tomorrow morning, all military officers above the senior colonel level in Beijing, including those who are on duty for the defense of the capital, are not allowed to be absent. Those who practice military law!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Wang Chengen agreed and stepped back.

And Zhu Youjian discussed with everyone about some side details of sending troops, etc., and let them go back.

On the same day, Wang Chengen passed Zhu Youjian's oral order to all the military officers at the colonel level in Beijing.

After the military reform, the ranks of all the former military officers have changed drastically.

There is also a rank system in the military.

For example, those who have just joined the army are just ordinary soldiers. After three years in the army, there will be an assessment. If they pass the assessment, they will be awarded the rank of sergeant and become a corporal. Down is once every three years.

Only with a military rank can you become an officer. If you become a corporal, if there is a vacancy in the army, the corporal will fill it.

Correspondingly, if you want to rise to a certain position, you must have the corresponding military rank.

For example, the corps commander corresponds to a corporal, the platoon leader and deputy platoon leader correspond to a sergeant, the company commander and deputy company commander correspond to a sergeant, and the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander correspond to a second lieutenant. , The brigade commander is a lieutenant colonel, the division commander and deputy division commander are a colonel, the deputy commander is a colonel, and the military commander officially enters the rank of a major general.

Among them, the lieutenant general corresponds to the deputy commander and the general will be the commander. When you reach the rank of general, you can enter the five-armed governor's mansion as the deputy commander. Finally, it corresponds to the five-star marshal rank of the marshal, and finally the three-army commander-in-chief appointed by the successive emperors. Marshal, the military rank is the rank of Sun and Moon Yongzhao surrounded by golden dragons.

In the military rank system, if you have the corresponding military rank, you may not be the corresponding position, but if you do not have the corresponding military rank, then you will definitely not be able to reach the corresponding military position.

In peacetime, promotions in the military are based on experience and assessment results, while in wartime, military merit is used. During wartime, you can be promoted to a certain position first according to your military merits, but in wartime After the war, you must enter the Imperial Lecture Hall to study until you pass the assessment of the corresponding military position before you can graduate and officially serve.

This complex system constitutes the new military system of Ming Dynasty today.

After receiving the news from Wang Chengen, all the military officers knew that the news that had been circulated for a long time was about to come true, and they all got ready excitedly, preparing to fight for the chance to go to war tomorrow morning.

After the military reform, they knew that the days of being honest and dawdling in the past are gone forever. If you don't have military merits, you can only watch the juniors under you stand on top of you with military merits.

There is only one way to keep your position, and that is to get more military merits, and where to get military merits.

The ancients have already given the answer.

Why don't men take Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifth State.

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion for a while, if you are a scholar, Wanhuhou.

The fame should be taken immediately!
