Chapter Seventy-Eight: Give Qi Jiguang a Cannon

Qi Jiguang was stunned, go to Naturalization City? To the prairie?

glanced at Qi Jiguang and saw that he was a little unclear, so Zhu Yijun told him about the matter, from the death of Altan Khan, to the contradiction between Sanniangzi and Huang Taiji, and then to this time the court canonized him as the king of Shunyi.

After listening to Zhu Yijun's narration, Qi Jiguang was shocked in his heart, have so many things happened during this period of time?

"Originally, I was going to send Ma Fang to this matter, after all, he has been in the northwest for many years, and he knows enough about Warat." Zhu Yijun said here, and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that the day is not a holiday." ”

"I searched for the imperial court, and finally chose Aiqing, although Aiqing entered Beijing for a short time, but time is not waiting for me!"

Qi Jiguang's heartbeat was fast at this time, to be honest, he was not so comfortable in the capital. After all these years of fighting in the southern and northern wars, he suddenly settled down in the capital, and Qi Jiguang did not enjoy it so much, but was a little uncomfortable.

I always feel that something is wrong with my whole body, and I can't adjust it.

But now, Qi Jiguang feels that everything is right, as for the emperor letting him go to Naturalization City and fight Wara, Qi Jiguang has no pressure in his heart, but is a little excited. Although the days in the capital are not long, Qi Jiguang has a thorough understanding of the combat power of the Xijing battalion.

Speaking of which, Qi Jiguang still admires Ma Fang very much, and the soldiers he trained are really good.

The spirit and spirit are very good, and the order is forbidden, especially the fifteen thousand cavalry, it can really be seen that he is attentive. Compared with his cavalry in Jiliao, it is much stronger. Coupled with the equipment of the Beijing camp, it is really much better than Ji Liao.

"Command!" Qi Jiguang knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Get up!" ”

After Qi Jiguang received the order, Zhu Yijun chatted with Qi Jiguang about the plan to enter the army this time. What if Huang Taiji and the three ladies start fighting, and what they will do if they don't fight, they all made predictions.

In fact, Zhu Yijun knows that he is addicted to talking about it here.

When you really get to the northwest and on the battlefield, the fighters are changing rapidly, and it is impossible to fight according to conjecture. However, Zhu Yijun just couldn't help it, coupled with Qi Jiguang's deliberate greeting, the two of them chatted happily.

After Qi Jiguang left, Zhu Yijun was talking about it, and he actually had a feeling of unfinished.

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhu Yijun smiled, Qi Jiguang is really a person, and Zhu Yijun doesn't know how to evaluate it. In fact, when Zhu Yijun and Qi Jiguang were chatting, it could be seen in many places that Qi Jiguang was pretending to be stupid, or slapping his own ass, but it was very comfortable to listen to.

"Let Chen Ju and Zhang Cheng come here!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and spoke.

"Slave and maid, go now!" Zhang Whale agreed, and quickly turned around and walked outside.

Before Qi Jiguang sent troops, Zhu Yijun also had to discuss the dispatch of troops with the cabinet. Sending troops to fight a war is not only a matter of sending troops, but also needs food, ordnance, etc., and if the logistics are not done well, the war will not be fought, and it will be finished first.

Another thing is Chen Ju and Zhang Cheng's side, these two people also need to be explained.

Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju came quickly, Zhang Cheng has been in the Imperial Horse Prison, just in the palace, as for Chen Ju, he is now soaking in the Armed Forces Division all day long. The rectification of the Armed Forces Division with Pan Jitao is now at a critical moment.

The rectification and reform of the Armament Division is not only a new technology, but also a revision of the system.

For the craftsman, the attitude towards production, the responsibility system, etc., the two of them are also very busy. However, when the Armament Division is on the right track, Zhu Yijun believes that Daming's ordnance will definitely go to a higher level.

Zhang Cheng arrived first, and Zhu Yijun asked him to wait on the side, waiting for Chen Ju's arrival.

When Chen Ju also came, Zhu Yijun first said to Chen Ju: "Chen Ju, how many steel cannons can the Armament Division come up with?" ”

Although the Beijing camp was also equipped with cannons, they were all old cannons, which were not only heavy, but also had a short range and average power. is even inferior to Qi Jiguang's cannons in many places, Zhu Yijun doesn't want Qi Jiguang to go out with these cannons.

Since you want to fight, let's fight bigger, in Zhu Yijun's expectation, even if you can't sweep away Warat this time, you have to beat Warat down.

After lying down the war, the follow-up matters about wool textile can be put on the agenda.

"Back to the emperor, the Armament Division has now accumulated 300 medium cannons, all of which are one Marcola with a range of up to 1,000 steps."

One thousand steps, Zhu Yijun has measured, one step in this era is about one meter five, and a thousand steps is a range of 1,500 meters. With such weight and such a range, Zhu Yijun is still very satisfied.

"There are 200 small cannons, which can be carried by one person, with a range of up to 200 paces, and are mainly used to fire scattered and flowering shells."

Is there a total of 500 doors?

This is Zhu Yijun spent millions of taels of silver in exchange, but the preliminary research has spent an old amount of money, and the cost of casting in the future will not be so high. However, giving these 500 cannons to Qi Jiguang believes that it can play a great role.

Qi Jiguang is famous for using cannons, and he also attaches enough importance to firearms, and this cannon will definitely play a great role in his hands.

"Send these five hundred cannons to Qi Jiguang!" Zhu Yijun said lightly.

Although this time it has hollowed out the old bottom, Zhu Yijun still thinks it is worth it, and this time it will definitely play a big role.

Chen Ju was stunned, although he knew that these cannons would definitely be pulled out for use, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. At first glance, it was really a little reluctant, but now I smiled in my heart: "The slave obeys the order!" ”

"Alright, you go down and make arrangements!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and asked Chen Ju to retreat.

Turning his head to look at Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "This time the Xijing camp is going to the northwest, and you will also go with you to be a prison army." Although nominally a prison army, you mainly want to see the situation in the northwest. ”

"The Imperial Horse Warden has been there for a while, let's see what happens."

When Zhang Cheng heard that he was going to the northwest, he was immediately a little excited, he was different from Zhang Whale, Zhang Whale likes to be favored by the emperor's side. But Zhang Cheng likes to go outside, and this time he went to the northwest, obviously something happened.

"You check the smuggling situation of the officers in the northwest for me, and by the way, take a look at the situation of the military households."

Military households have always been a heart disease in Zhu Yijun's heart, and now the Ming Dynasty relies on his own soldiers to fight, and most of the military households have become tenant farmers. The food grown by the generals' military households is unacceptable to support their own soldiers.

Once the northwest is settled, this one must be cleaned up, and the situation will be felt first.

"Don't worry, the old slave understands!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed and said.

After arranging Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun began to discuss with the cabinet again, fortunately, there was no shortage of food and silver in the imperial court in the past two years, otherwise Zhu Yijun felt that his matter of sending troops would definitely be in vain.

In addition, the instability on the side of Warat, the imperial court sent troops over, and the opposition and resistance encountered were small.

Although some people are dissatisfied with Zhu Yijun's rudeness to canonize him, the matter has already come out, and now it is also the right thing to guard against Warat.

Xijing camp, Qi Jiguang handsome account.

This time out of Beijing, 15,000 cavalry is to be carried, but the infantry can't be left untold, Qi Jiguang is going to bring 15,000 infantry. There are more than 60,000 people in the Xijing camp, half of which is transferred, and Qi Jiguang thinks it is still possible.

So who to choose to go and who not to choose, this needs to be carefully considered.

"Marshal, Gonggong Chen of the Armed Forces Division is here!" The pro-soldiers outside walked into the tent and bowed.

Qi Jiguang was stunned for a moment, of course he knew that in the current Ming Dynasty, there were not many generals who had never heard of the Military Division. You must know that the blood of the previous Arsenal Division was spilled, and this newly established Arsenal Division naturally paid a lot of attention.

In addition, when the general soldiers in various places asked for ordnance, they changed from the former military department to the governor's office of the five armies, and they didn't care about it!

Qi Jiguang didn't know what Chen Ju of the Armed Forces Division was doing here, but he still attached great importance to it. Originally, I was thinking about going to the Armed Forces Division to get something good before leaving, but now it happens that Chen Ju is here, don't order something, that's not my character.

"Where are the people?" Qi Jiguang stood up directly: "Ben Shuai personally greeted him." ”

For this kind of thing, Qi Jiguang has no psychological burden at all, compared to the real benefits, a little lower attitude is not a matter at all. Qi Jiguang himself is based on reality, and there is no point in vain things.

When he came to the gate, Qi Jiguang saw Chen Ju standing in front at a glance.

If this had been placed in the past, Qi Jiguang would have scolded the gatekeeper a long time ago, why didn't he welcome him in, but after arriving in the Beijing camp, Qi Jiguang knew that the military regulations of the Beijing camp were very detailed and complicated, and they were also very strict.

For example, when entering the camp, outsiders are not allowed to enter without the commander's instructions.

Qi Jiguang also did this kind of thing, but it was during the war, and after arriving in Beijing, Qi Jiguang liked this kind of military regulation very much. At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh that Jingying was really backed by the emperor again, and no one's face had to be sold.

Qi Jiguang has begun to feel the difference from little by little.

"Grandpa Chen!" Qi Jiguang smiled and hugged his fist at Chen Ju: "It's really a blessing to be lucky, Xia Guan has heard the name of Gonggong Chen for a long time, and I want to see it today, I am really fortunate to have three lives, Gonggong Chen, please inside." ”

Chen Ju looked at Qi Jiguang, and hurriedly bent down and said, "General Qi is polite, our family can't afford such a big gift from General Qi." ”

"For General Qi, our family has heard of it for a long time, and I can see it today, it should be our family who is fortunate enough to live three lives." Chen Juke knew that this Qi Dashuai's status in the emperor's heart, and he didn't dare to hold it up at all.

"There's no need to go in, our family is here today at the behest of the emperor."

"There is a batch of artillery in the Armament Division, and the emperor ordered it to be transferred to Qi Dashuai, and the people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are over there, and our family is here to invite them to go to the Armament Division with our family. After inspecting the artillery, it was better to send the artillery to General Qi. ”

Artillery?

Qi Jiguang's eyes suddenly lit up, if he wanted to say that he was dissatisfied with Jingying, it was this cannon. The emperor is so caring, what do you want!
