Chapter 15 The future planning of the Ming army

Soon, everyone arrived, knelt down and bowed according to the process, and after calling out long live, they got up and took their seats. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at Shi Fenglai, Chongzhen didn't want to invite him to come, at present, this first assistant is not the same as himself, but the bad guy is also the first assistant of the cabinet, and it is unreasonable to discuss some things by himself and bypass others directly, so call him here, if this old guy secretly opposes him, then let Jin Yiwei fabricate a criminal evidence or something, and let her roll up and leave when the time comes.

Thinking of this, he looked at everyone: "Just now I and Xu Aiqing discussed some things, which involved other aspects, one is the army, the other is silver, let's talk about the army first!" I am currently preparing to develop and build new types of firearms, but now the situation of firearms in the Ming Dynasty is clear to all of you, so I won't say much, so I think that in addition to the batch that is now being built to continue to build, all firearms that have not started or are ready to start will be stopped, and we will concentrate financial resources to prepare new firearms, but now this batch of I will let Jinyiwei and Dongchang strictly control and implement them according to the new regulations, as for what kind of regulations Xu Aiqing will explain to you when the time comes. There is also a new batch of all for the Shenji Battalion to use, and the armies in other places have suspended the update of weapons, so that soldiers in other places can use swords and other weapons first, and wait for the new firearms to be developed and updated uniformly. Taking a sip of tea, Chongzhen continued: "As for the Shenji Battalion, I am going to let Governor Li and Vice Governor Zhou start to carry out the survival of the fittest on the Shenji Battalion first, eliminate the old, weak, sick and disabled, and if it is the only son in the family, it will also be eliminated, and the rest will be assessed, the method of assessment can be discussed by the two governors, the Shenji Battalion will maintain 5,000 people, if there are no 5,000 people after the elimination, they will be drawn from the other two battalions, and the other two battalions will also start to carry out such survival of the fittest together, and I will personally check it out when the time comes. If you really can't get together 5,000 people, then recruit soldiers, recruit new soldiers, and recruit new soldiers This work will be taken care of by Vice Governor Zhou, and the two governors will report to me after going back to count the number of people, can you understand! ”

"The minister understands!" Li Guozhen and Zhou Yuji replied with their fists clasped together.

"But Your Majesty 。。。。。。。" Suddenly, Li Guozhen was a little speechless and stopped.

"What kind of problem to say directly," Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty! The relationship between Beijing and the camp is complicated, and it may be very difficult to carry out large-scale disarmament at once! Li Guozhen was embarrassed.

"Yes! Your Majesty! Governor Li is right about this, if it is not handled well, the old ministers are worried that they will make trouble! At this time, Shi Fenglai also came out and said.

"。。。。。。。 like this" Chongzhen knocked on the table, and then said, "In this way, the two of you will go back to implement this policy first, and if you encounter uncooperative or troublemakers, register their names and family backgrounds one by one, and then report them to me." I can ask the Brocade Guard to deliver something to their home. ”

When everyone heard this, a cold sweat immediately flowed down, Your Majesty's trick is enough.

"I know that their butts are not clean, and I want to go to jail and squat or lose my life or go home, I think they should cooperate, as long as they are willing to cooperate, I can not blame the past! They will also be praised for their dedication to the country! So be it! You two do a good job! If something happens, don't worry! Chongzhen said simply, and then asked the three comrades of the three cabinets, "Do the three Aiqing think this is okay?" ”

Shi Feng came to look at Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, and saw that they both nodded, and then thought about His Majesty's soft and hard work, as long as he was not a fool, he should make the right choice, so he also nodded, and the three of them said at the same time: "The minister seconded the proposal!" Chongzhen listened and looked at Li Guozhen.

"The minister will satisfy His Majesty" Li Guozhen said, with the guarantee of His Majesty the Emperor, what are you afraid of, and there are three cabinet members who also feel that there is no problem, Li Guozhen has a bottom in his heart.

"In this case, then after the Beijing camp is rectified, I am ready to let the Beijing camp start using new training methods, and the specific two governors can learn from Yu Dayou's "The Art of War", "The Book of Swords", "The General Essentials of the Continuation of the Martial Arts", as well as Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness" and "The Actual Record of Military Training" and Sun Cifu's "Cheying Deduction and Answer Compilation" I will send people from the palace to you at that time (Note: I don't know if these books were in the palace at that time, so let's assume that they are all in Chongzhen's hands if the plot needs)! It's not for you to copy, everyone has their own point of view, what you have to do is to extract all the advantages, integrate and penetrate, and make the best configuration according to the current situation. At present, the three battalions can train separately first, and finally carry out unified and integrated training! The task of the two governors is arduous, but as long as you do a good job, you will all be the heroes of my Ming Dynasty! Chongzhen encouraged.

"The minister must do his best!" The two governors hugged their fists again, but at this time the hearts of the two governors were different, Zhou Yuji was naturally excited, training, arranging troops, war was his favorite, most interested, and he could also learn from so many excellent military works, he could study hard, but Li Guozhen was different, he knew how many catties and taels he had, he was not military material at all, alas! It's really the baby's heart, and the baby doesn't dare to say it! Let's do our best! Let's do a good job in this disarmament task first! Li Guozhen said secretly in his heart.

"It's good to have this drive! I look forward to the performance of the two governors" Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Go back, you can first set up the statues of Yu Dashuai and Qi Dashuai in the Beijing camp in the Shenji Camp, and let all the soldiers regard them as idols, heroes!" I believe that many soldiers already regard them as heroes, but not all soldiers, what you have to do is to make all soldiers treat them as heroes! This task is handed over to you! I think you're a good fit! Chongzhen smiled.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Lao Chen will definitely do it! Li Guozhen packed the ticket and said, this brainwashing work is his forte, and he can finally have a chance to perform.

Chongzhen happily continued: "Starting from the Beijing camp to start a new training, I want to see the effect, if it is good, I will slowly add some new content, and in the future, our Ming army must complete firearms, specialization, and modernization!" I also hope that the Aiqing will work hard to cooperate! ”

Firearms, specialization, modernization? Everyone was a little stunned when they heard these three new terms, firearms are easy to understand, what do the other two mean?

Looking at the people in a daze, Chongzhen said: "Firearms are very understandable, that is, all soldiers after the Ming Dynasty will use firearms and eliminate all the current swords, guns, swords, and halberds" Hearing this, the two Guo Yunhou and Bi Ziyan wanted to cry without tears, how much silver did this cost? The treasury has no money, don't you know, Your Majesty? As if seeing the speechlessness on the faces of the two adults, Chongzhen smiled and said, "I know that it is impossible at the moment, step by step!" It's impossible to become a fat man in one go, I know, I also know the situation of the treasury, and I'll talk to the two Aiqing about ways to make money in a while! Chongzhen smiled mysteriously. I heard that there is a way to make money! Lao Guo and Lao Bi's eyes lit up at the same time, and they both nodded happily.

"Then talk about specialization, simply say that the soldiers know how to fight on the battlefield, how to fight, how to obey the command, cooperate with their comrades to exert the greatest combat power, and finally the army wins the greatest victory, this depends on professional training in peacetime, hard training, sweat in peacetime, and shed a drop of blood in wartime!" Chongzhen said, Sun Chengzong and Zhou Yuji, who understand military affairs, both nodded with deep sympathy

"In the end, this modernization means that the army, whether it is equipment, combat concepts, or tactical thinking, etc., must follow up with the changes of the times, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the times, and do not stick to the rules," Chongzhen sighed. Sun Chengzong and Zhou Yuji nodded with deep sympathy after hearing this, Sun Chengzong felt in his heart, His Majesty didn't expect to understand so much, today I have been taught by an old man, and it seems that I still have to communicate with Your Majesty more if I have the opportunity another day! Thinking about it, he stroked his beard and smiled, with such a Ming Jun, why can't Da Ming worry about not being able to achieve Zhongxing?

In the end, the three army building principles that Chongzhen mentioned today were not only carried forward in China, but the armies of all countries in the world eventually built their own armies according to this standard. It can be regarded as making a significant contribution to the development of world civilization.

Speaking with a dry mouth, Chongzhen drank tea and continued: "I explained like this, can the Aiqing understand? Or is there anything you can add? ”

Everyone nodded in unison: "The ministers seconded it!" Your Majesty! ”
