Chapter 42: Ordnance Bureau
After Li Yuanyin read it carefully, the corners of his mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, these important ministers of the court are thinking of following Your Majesty." ”
"Hmph." Zhu Youlang's face turned cold: "They are all loyal ministers and good generals, and they don't want to do this, how can they accompany me to revive the Ming Dynasty." ”
Seeing this, Li Yuanyin understood that Zhu Youlang would never change this matter, and Li Yuanyin would no longer speak, even if some of them were familiar with him, but they were no longer willing to speak up.
When Li Yuanyin was ordered to leave, the whole camp sounded the horn again.
"Let's go, I'll eat the barracks big pot for lunch."
Ding Siliang looked at Zhu Youlang who had walked away in disbelief, but he knew that the food in the army was not delicious, even if under Zhu Youlang's strict order, the barracks meal was already very rich, but in Ding Siliang's eyes, it was still like pig food.
When they got that Zhu Youlang was going to come to this barracks for lunch, Chen Zizhuang and the others were ready to let Zhu Youlang eat in the Chinese army's tent, but when they came head-on, Zhu Youlang's face instantly became gloomy.
In fact, before he came, Zhu Youlang asked that the training of the soldiers should not be affected because of him, so Chen Zizhuang and others also recognized it very much and did not come to disturb Zhu Youlang's feelings.
"How can Your Majesty dine with the rough men in the army?" Chen Zizhuang stubbornly admonished.
Zhu Youlang looked at him coldly: "They are all loyal ministers and cadres of me, without them, can Daming be revitalized, and can I still eat with peace of mind." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is not like that." Chen Zizhuang's face changed greatly when he heard this.
But before Chen Zizhuang could continue, Zhu Youlang interrupted him with a slightly angry face: "Okay, let's go with me to dine with the soldiers." ”
Chen Zizhuang saw that Zhu Youlang was a little angry, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and followed Zhu Youlang, under the lesson of Ding Kuichu and Wang Huadeng's blood, he understood that Zhu Youlang was not rumored to be as timid as a mouse, but extremely firm and cold-blooded, you must know that Ding Kuichu and Wang Huadeng both have the merit of supporting.
"Long live my emperor, long live long live..."
As soon as Zhu Youlang appeared on the playground, the dozen or so soldiers who had eaten in a circle immediately knelt down to meet Zhu Youlang, and in a moment, the soldiers knelt down like waves.
"Warriors, loyal men of mine, do not need to be polite." Zhu Youlang shouted with a warm smile.
Under the words of Ding Siliang and the other eunuchs, Chen Dashi and Jiao Lian, who had been standing on the second side, also cooperated with Zhu Youlang to make those soldiers stand up.
After a while, after Zhu Youlang also dined like a soldier in the army, the generals who originally had their own small stoves had to come out to dine with the soldiers, and Chen Zizhuang and others were all around Zhu Youlang.
"Dashi, the training of this army has gone well." Zhu Youlang asked casually as if he was eating.
Chen Dashi was stunned for a moment, and then replied seriously: "It is difficult to train, but the soldiers are much faster than the personal guard training." ”
"Oh." Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Dashi: "What is the solution." ”
"Your Majesty, these soldiers can commit military law three times a day, and even more, they can violate military law more than ten times a day, and each time according to the actual military training record, that is, they have to recite military law, plus there are envoys to confer grace and military discipline enforcement envoys, and they have to enforce military law and can train according to orders, so they will train quickly." Chen Dashi explained carefully.
Chen Zizhuang, Yu Long, Chen Bangyan, and Zhang Jiayu's faces all turned red when they heard this, all because they knew very well what was going on with the soldiers, and they were used to being thieves.
"Hmm." Zhu Youlang nodded slightly and said: "We must train seriously, the military law cannot be relaxed, I hope that within seven days, the camp will exude the smell of the iron army." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zizhuang and the others replied seriously.
"Oh, Chen Aiqing, I don't know if I can bother me." Zhu Youlang turned his head and looked at Chen Zizhuang seriously, at this time Chen Zizhuang was thinking about what was important in Zhu Youlang seven days later.
"Your Majesty's order is given, and the minister must do it." Chen Zizhuang knelt down and shouted.
Seeing Chen Zizhuang looking at himself decisively, Zhu Youlang put down the bowl in his hand: "I'm full." ”
"The minister is also full." Chen Zizhuang also responded: "Your Majesty has something to say, and the minister will obey it." ”
"I want to build an ordnance bureau to make firearms for the army."
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has an old system." Chen Zizhuang reminded: "The Miscellaneous Bureau, the Firearms Bureau, all of them may make firearms, not to mention, the armies have their own firearms-making teams. ”
"No, in the future, all the firearms of the army will be issued by the Ordnance Bureau, not only firearms, but also all weapons, all of which will be issued by the Ordnance Bureau. Zhu Youlang squinted and looked around.
"If you want to do a good job, you must sharpen your weapons, and I want Chen Aiqing to be the commander of the Ordnance Bureau, specializing in weapon manufacturing." Zhu Youlang didn't wait for Chen Zizhuang to come back to his senses, he directly said what he meant.
Chen Zizhuang looked at Zhu Youlang dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this, this, weapon manufacturing, the minister will not." ”
"I don't want you to build it yourself, I want you to direct the manufacture of weapons, and don't let shoddy things flow into the hands of soldiers." Zhu Youlang's face changed when he said this: "But I don't allow the Ordnance Bureau to have any corruption and perversion of the law, but if there is a difference in the weapon, I will be guilty of dereliction of duty."
"Your Majesty, where are the people with power and money?" As soon as he heard that Zhu Youlang was not joking, he also directly asked for something.
"Money, I promise you a million taels of start-up capital, you first gather the craftsmen of the military and the skilled craftsmen of the prefectures and counties, those who are familiar with firearms, you can submit them, and I will seal the official according to their ability."
Chen Zizhuang was also surprised that Zhu Youlang couldn't take out a million taels, but what he didn't know was that when he fought Li Chengdong's army, Zhu Youlang gained a lot of fear, especially when he occupied Guangzhou, and the funds left by Tang Wang were also a lot, so Zhu Youlang could calm down and reorganize the army, otherwise, he would not be so gentle with the Weisho Juntun and the City Bo Division.
"Your Majesty rest assured, the ministers will make the things made by the Ordnance Bureau extremely fine." Chen Zizhuang didn't talk nonsense, he directly gave a military order.
"The armament of the six battalions of infantry battalions should be disrupted and solved, and on the old weapons, those that can be used will be selected, and those that are lacking must be built quickly, and within a month, I will see that the soldiers of the six battalions have been installed."
When Chen Zizhuang heard this, he gritted his teeth and replied, "The minister obeys the order." ”
At noon, Zhu Youlang took Ding Siliang and others back to the Guangzhou Political Embassy, and at this time, the original Li Chengdong's elite cavalry arrived outside Guangzhou under the leadership of She Yonghe.
Zhu Youlang directly asked Jiao Lian to carry out the reorganization according to the rules of the righteous soldiers, but the difference is that Zhu Youlang asked him to reorganize the cavalry battalion according to the training record, but he did not need to train in the cavalry battalion.
Because of Qi Jiguang's cavalry battalion, only a quarter of the battalion is a real cavalry, and the rest are infantry on horses.
Just after Zhu Youlang asked Jiao Lian to take She Yonghe to familiarize himself with the new military system and prepare for the reorganization, Yuan Peng, who was in Guangzhou, was sad, because Li Yuanyin found him and clearly expressed the emperor's trust in him, which made him happy for a while, but as soon as he expressed it and let him return to the Qing court camp to die, he felt full of malice in his heart.
