The Qianqing Palace seemed to be quiet all of a sudden, only the sound of Chongzhen flipping through the music reverberated gently in the hall, and soon, Cao Huachun, who was on an errand, came back, and Chongzhen looked up and said, "Go!" Summoning Sun Shoufu to me! ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun bowed, and then quickly retreated.

Nearly half an hour later, Sun Chengzong hurried over, saw Chongzhen and saluted: "Weichen see Your Majesty!" Banzai! Banzai! Hooray! ”

"The teacher is here! It's a bit slow today! Sit! Chongzhen put down the song in his hand and said.

"Back to Your Majesty! Weichen was just in the artillery production supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, and Gonggong Cao went to Weichen but didn't find Weichen, so this is a bit of a detour! I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! Sun Chengzong said respectfully.

"Oh?! Could it be that there's something new over there? Chongzhen said with interest.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the cannon you drew for Xu Chengong at the beginning?" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"What? Made?! Chongzhen said with some surprise.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"Why did it go all of a sudden?" Chongzhen said with interest.

"Your Majesty, it's better to personally move the cannon supervisor to take a look!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile.

"That's right! Aiqing is right! Chongzhen nodded.

"I don't know why Your Majesty summoned Weichen here?" Sun Chengzong asked.

"Just said this cannon! I almost forgot to get down to business! Teacher, look at this! Saying that, he handed over a few pieces of information, and soon, Sun Chengzong looked at it, but it didn't take long for his face to be a little wrong, and after a while, he put down those pieces of information, then got up, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty!" Wechen is guilty! ”

Chongzhen was startled, and hurriedly got up and helped Sun Chengzong up: "Teacher! What are you doing here? What is the sin? ”

"This Yuan Chonghuan, alas。。。。。。 At the beginning, Weichen also recommended him。。。。。。 Sun Chengzong couldn't say anything.

"That's it! I don't know what Yuan Aiqing's thoughts are now, but now the situation in Jinzhou is stable, and we can start the plan to restore Liao after everything is arranged! Teacher please! I don't blame you! Chongzhen said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong got up slowly.

"But speaking of this issue, now that the war is imminent, I am ready to seal Yuan Aiqing and then lead the military department with the title of Shangshu! Commander-in-chief of all the armies of Liaodong, including the armies of the past! The governor of all Liaodong military affairs is responsible for the restoration of Liao! The teacher thinks it's possible? Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Sun Chengzong said.

"In that case, it will be announced tomorrow morning!" Chongzhen nodded, and then said, "Teacher! What do you think of the other piece of information? ”

"Now I don't know the specific situation of this Tartar and these Yi people, so now we can't be too aggressive, steady and steady is the best policy, and there is another point, since this Tartar can pull people, can't I Da Ming?" Sun Chengzong said.

"Oh?" Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the full map of the emperor and said, "Lin Dan Khan? ”

Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "The relationship between my Daming and Lin Dan Khan has been quite harmonious over the years, and this Lin Dan Khan's heart to restore the glory of the so-called golden family is probably always there!" I believe I will agree! ”

"How?" Chongzhen is very interested.

"I, Da Ming, have held most of their main forces on the Eastern Front, and let Lin Dan Khan attack their hinterland immediately, I believe it will not be difficult for Lin Dan Khan, who has hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen!" Sun Chengzong said.

"That's what I said! I'm afraid this old guy won't cooperate! Chongzhen smiled.

"You can do the work of his eldest son, Ezhe! It shouldn't be a big problem! If you really can't do it, you can send some people over to harass you! Sun Chengzong smiled, and Chongzhen understood in seconds after listening to it.

"Your Majesty should send someone to contact Lin Dan Khan as soon as possible, so as not to send someone from the Tartars to contact Lin Dan Khan, although they are enemies of life and death, but I am not sure that this Lin Dan Khan will make some stupid moves because of some small interests!" Sun Chengzong said.

"I understand!" Chongzhen nodded.

"Sitting for most of the day! Tired too! Walk! Accompany me to the cannon production superintendent! Chongzhen got up and stretched.

"Wechen obeys!" Sun Chengzong said.

"Your Majesty, get on!" Cao Huachun shouted.

Nearly half an hour later, Chongzhen finally saw the new artillery, and looked at the artillery he drew on the paper now became a real thing, so he sighed a little, and then said: "Xu Aiqing!" And the craftsmen! You've done a great job! ”

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! "Everyone.

"Xu Aiqing! Haven't you always been able to do it before? What's going on now? Chongzhen said curiously.

"Before, the main thing was that there were no suitable materials for building artillery! I bought some from Saiyo this time! These materials are much better than the ones we use today! Originally, the materials of my Daming were not very good at meeting the needs of making cannons! Xu Guangqi said.

"It's the pile of dark gray stuff?" Chongzhen pointed to the side and said.

"Yes! Your Majesty! It's called gray iron! These quality micro-ministers have seen it, and they are all superior! Xu Guangqi nodded.

"This cannon is compared to the previous one! What about performance? Chongzhen asked, wiping the smooth barrel.

"Back to Your Majesty, we have engraved different numbers of rifling in the barrel of this artillery, which can effectively ensure the stability of the shell, and also increase the range of the shell!" Xu Guangqi explained.

"This shell has also been changed?" Chongzhen asked by glancing at the cannonball on the side.

"Back to Your Majesty, this rifled cannon is loaded quickly, and the shell is packed separately from the warhead and the medicine pack, so this shell has been improved compared to before!" Xu Guangqi said.

"Is there any difference in operation?" Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! Not too big! But I want to be better than the original cannon! The recoil of this cannon is greater! Therefore, you need to be more careful in the operation! Xu Guangqi replied.

"How long will it take for this cannon to be put on the battlefield? Aiqing also knows that this battle seems to be about to be fought! Chongzhen said.

"Back to Your Majesty! Wechen can only say do his best! After testing that there were no problems, we asked some skilled soldiers to use it first! Once there are no problems, you can put it into use right away! Xu Guangqi said.

"Good! If so, how many cannons can be produced in a month? Chongzhen asked.

"Back to Your Majesty! When there is enough silver and materials! Ministers and others work hard to make it! Five doors a month! Xu Guangqi estimated the next way.

"In this case, since there is no problem with this material, then book in advance, book at least fifty doors, and the specific details will be directly given to me, and the internal funds will be funded, and the household department may be relatively tight recently!" Chongzhen Hao said.

"Wechen obeys!" Xu Guangqi bowed.

"Did Westerners participate in this cannon?" Chongzhen asked.

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty!" Yes! We hired some Western craftsmen! ”

"Good! Then they don't have to go back! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Your Majesty! This...... Xu Guangqi's face was bitter.

"I mean I want to give them a reward! Let them stay in my Daming and work for my Daming! Chongzhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Believe they are more than happy! At the same time, I will thank Your Majesty for your grace! Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

"Speed up! That's a great gift! Chongzhen said with a smile.
