I am the carpenter king

Smiling and nodding, although Emperor Tianqi did not deliberately understand these things, the close relationship between Luo Sigong and the Wei Dynasty has never been broken.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said to several people: "My dear friends, I will take a closer look at the results of your investigation. This matter will be promulgated and implemented soon, and I still have to let you dear friends Let's do it!"

"Don't worry, your majesty, I will do my best!" Duke Ding respectfully said. As for Duke Wei, he didn't say a word from the beginning until now.It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but since Duke Ding is here, he thinks it's better for him not to talk.

"You two lovers, go and get busy! I will take a good look at it, and report to me in time if there is anything to do!" Seeing that the matter was almost finished, Emperor Tianqi issued an order to evict the two of them to leave.

Ding Guogong and Wei Guogong stood up at the same time, respectfully saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said: "I will take my leave!"

Time passed quickly. After two months of repeated research, in September of the third year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi finally started the reform of the military system, but it did not spread throughout the country, but took the garrison of the capital as a pilot.Whether it is the three major battalions or the twelve guards of the pro-army, except for the Jinyiwei, all implement the reformed military system.

Now everyone in the imperial court knew that Emperor Tianqi was planning to reform the military system nationwide, but when things got to this point, no one objected anymore.It is already obvious that Emperor Tianqi suppressed civil servants and raised the status of generals.

The reform of the military system across the country has not yet started, but everyone knows that this day is not far away.With the successful experience of Liaodong and Beijing, I believe it will soon spread to the whole country.

However, this time Emperor Tianqi adopted a vague policy. Except for some extremists, no crimes or house raids took place.No drastic measures were taken, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition to starting the military system reform in the capital in September.There is another thing that Emperor Tianqi is very concerned about, that is, after half a year of construction, the firearms factory on the outskirts of the capital is almost completed. [

Picked a sunny day.Emperor Tianqi brought several ministers from the Military Aircraft Department and several elders from the cabinet to the firearms factory.After Xu Guangqi got the news.Take people to the door to greet you early.

Walking down the dragon chariot, the first thing that catches the eye is the huge plaque. The words "Firearms Factory" are written by Emperor Tianqi.After this period of contact, Emperor Tianqi's handwriting is already ready to hand, not to mention comparing with calligraphy, compared with other civil officials, it is also inferior.But after all, it was written by Emperor Tianqi.The meaning is different.

"My minister Xu Guangqi led all the officials of the firearms factory to welcome the emperor, long live my emperor!" Xu Guangqi lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, not daring to be vague at all.The newly built firearms factory cost Emperor Tianqi 140 million taels of silver in total.Xu Guangqi was afraid that he would not be able to hand in the errand.

Emperor Tianqi floated his hands in front of his body, and said with a smile: "My dear friends, you are free from courtesy!" When everyone stood up, Emperor Tianqi suddenly found a person, and it was Song Yingxing who was standing beside Xu Guangqi.

At this time, Song Yingxing was obviously out of his body, when he knew Xu Guangqi's identity.Song Yingxing had guessed the identity of Emperor Tianqi several times, and he was really shocked when he saw it today.

"Song Yingxing, how about I find this place for you? If you don't want to, I can let you go back to study and take the scientific examination!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Song Yingxing with a smile and said with a teasing face.

"Your Majesty, I am terrified! Thanks to the Emperor's perseverance, I have already worshiped under the teacher, and I am at home in the firearms factory." Song Yingxing was no longer dissatisfied at this time, but rather grateful.

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi laughed and said, "Let's go! Come with me to have a look. I brought some people here today. Don't let me down!"

Under the leadership of Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, Emperor Tianqi and his party walked into the firearms factory, and the houses that appeared in front of everyone just entered.Most of the buildings are bricks and tiles, and few of them use wood.

Walking into the workshop, Emperor Tianqi looked at the crude equipment inside, and a smile appeared on his face.Although it can't be compared with later generations, there are already some prototypes, enough to make Emperor Tianqi excited.

Listening to Xu Guangqi's introduction of the usage of these tools, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help nodding, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

"Xu Aiqing, what will be the annual output of the firearms factory after the entire operation is put into operation?" Emperor Tianqi looked back at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile on his face.

"Returning to the emperor, I made a preliminary estimate. The firearms factory can produce 20 pieces of Guangqi-style broken hair guns and [-] rounds of paper shell guns a year. As for artillery, there are [-] heavy guns and about [-] light guns. Left and right of the door. There are other firearms that can be made outside the two sides, which is already the limit of the firearms factory. Because the emperor decreed that the navy should be given priority in equipment, within two years, only a small part of the firearms produced by the firearms factory can be supplied to the garrisons in various places.” Xu Guangqi also had a bit of regret on his face. Although he knew in his heart that he couldn't become a fat man with one bite, he was still a little disappointed.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, the technology was backward, and it was already good to have such an output.After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi lowered his voice and said to Xu Guangqi: "Has there been any progress in the research of breech-loading guns?"

Emperor Tianqi is very concerned about this issue. If a breech-loading gun can be made, Emperor Tianqi will definitely be crazy. [

Xu Guangqi shook his head slightly, and said to Emperor Tianqi in a rather embarrassing manner: "Reporting to the emperor, this matter is too difficult. According to the current progress, I feel that within five years, there may be no hope."

Sighing softly, seeing that Xu Guangqi was not in a good mood, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "It's okay, take your time, I believe in Aiqing's ability, and I believe that there will be such a day sooner or later. In addition, I want to know that the steam engine has a clue Yet?"

"Back to the emperor, although the emperor has explained this steam engine in detail, it is even more clueless than a rear-loading gun. I don't know where to start now. If there are any results, I will immediately report to the emperor!" Xu Guangqi felt a little helpless Looking at Emperor Tianqi, I really don't know how this emperor knows so much. Of course he knows the power of that steam engine, but it is really too difficult to do it.

Waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect much at first, but while studying the steam engine, Emperor Tianqi felt that there would definitely be other gains.Maybe it can also drive the progress of the production process and develop slowly. Sooner or later, there will be one, and I have time.

A group of people left the workshop and walked towards the center of the firearms factory. Emperor Tianqi said to Xu Guangqi again: "How is the shipyard? Are the two newly opened shipyards still unable to build ships?"

"Returning to the emperor, Jinzhou in Liaodong and Dengzhou in Shandong are already stepping up their construction, but I'm afraid they won't be able to build warships this year. I estimate that the first batch of warships should be built in April next year. "Xu Guangqi was very clear about these, and he answered without the slightest hesitation.

Nodding his head, everything was proceeding according to his expectations, Emperor Tianqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.Although there is not much silver in the national treasury now, it is no longer in deficit, and there is also a lot of silver in his own internal inventory. Emperor Tianqi finally felt relieved.

The Northern Jiannu and Mongolian Tartars were all severely injured this time. Nurhachi died, and Huang Taiji also died. Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief.Now that Dorgon has just become a profuse sweat, his position is not very stable, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so he has no ability to invade himself.

Liaodong has strong soldiers and strong horses, and Xiong Tingbi uses his troops very methodically. Although the possibility of aggressiveness is unlikely, there is indeed no problem at all in the garrison.The situation in the whole country is very good, Emperor Tianqi can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since he ascended the throne, he has been worried all day long, fearing that history will return to the original track. Now that he has reached this point, Emperor Tianqi is also very relieved.

"Your Majesty, the Martial Arts Research Institute is in front of you. According to the emperor's order, the top craftsmen of Ming Dynasty are concentrated here. There are also many Frankies here, and now a lot of research has been carried out." Xu Guangqi interrupted Emperor Tianqi's speech Thinking back, he pointed to a courtyard surrounded by high walls in front of him and said.

Stepping in, Emperor Tianqi smelled a pungent smell. In a courtyard to the north, thick smoke was billowing.Emperor Tianqi glanced at Xu Guangqi, smiled and said, "Aiqing, what are you doing there?"

"Going back to the emperor, there is research on firing cement, but there is no effect yet. But I have figured out some tricks, and the day of success is not far away." Xu Guangqi had a smile on his face, after doing so much by himself, Xu Guangqi was also very pleased to see the joy on Emperor Tianqi's face.

Although he really wanted to see the progress of the cement being fired, Emperor Tianqi really didn't like to smell the choking smell, since it wasn't fired anyway, so it's better not to go and see it.Turning to look at Xu Guangqi, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "Xu Aiqing, is there anything you want me to see?"

"Returning to the emperor, the research of the Institute of Armed Forces Research has just started, and has not achieved any results. Most of them are just beginning. Whether it is the improvement of firearms or the research and development of new firearms, no outstanding progress has been made. However, the Institute of Armed Forces Research Institute's first A batch of custom-made fire dragons has been confirmed, and the minister is preparing to start production for the emperor, and now that the emperor is here, you can go and have a look!" Xu Guangqi looked at Emperor Tianqi with a little anxiety, and finally prepared the same as himself Things are taken out.

Emperor Tianqi knew that the fire dragon's water was a firearm, and he was very interested immediately, and said with a smile: "Okay! Aiqing will lead the way!"
