Chapter 665: A hard-won firearm

The reason why the newly recruited 50,000 troops formed an army so quickly was that Lu Hanqiang first sent 1ooo veterans of his own army who had seen blood, and while bringing the experience on the battlefield to the past, he also transmitted the queue and discipline formed by his own training, and at the same time, the most benefited from the 1,000 village warriors trained by Ping 6 Zhao Zi. Eん.』 That's the teaching team, that's the foundation.

A veteran can completely bring out five new recruits, and these five recruits, driven by the veterans, will be able to quickly form combat effectiveness, form a high momentum, and form a spirit within three months. This is the reason why Lu Hanqiang has been telling Zhao Zi to constantly train the 1,000 teaching team for himself in Ping 6, as long as they exist, as long as they have their own ideas and discipline in their hearts, as long as they continue to cultivate, then the ideas and concepts they expound will be constantly instilled and passed on, not to mention the 50,000 troops, as long as Lu Hanqiang is given 1ooo teaching team, plus 10,000 veterans, then, even if 1o thousand homeless people are recruited in an instant, there are sufficient materials as the foundation, It will also form combat effectiveness in just a few months, and the core strength lies in this.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't quite understand this thing, but Lu Xiangsheng thought that there was a fatal mistake of Lu Hanqiang, that is, Lu Hanqiang had always believed in the power of his spear and longbow, and there were no firearms in his army.

How can this work without the most expensive weapons? It seems that his third brother is still too conservative, and he still believes in the spear and sword, but now it seems that since equipping the spear and sword can make this team have such a high combat effectiveness, if it is equipped with the most expensive firearms in the Ming army, it will not be invincible all over the world? And the reason why his third brother did not equip his own troops with firearms, was it because he was not strong in terms of money and the supply of the imperial court? Therefore, after Lu Xiangsheng inspected Lu Hanqiang's troops, he met Emperor Chongzhen and couldn't help but lament for his third brother, how unfair the court was to Lu Hanqiang.

Where is the injustice? In a nutshell, he thinks that the Ministry of Industry has no supply of firearms to Lu Hanqiang's troops, according to a person who understands the military strategy at that time - Lu Xiangsheng, in his thoughts, an army can not be organized according to the Ming Dynasty and add firearms battalions, which is simply a kind of neglect of this army, and as a result, the imperial court did not give Lu Hanqiang firearms at all, which shows that the imperial court ignored Lu Hanqiang's army that wanted to fight bloody battles in the south and the north, which was unfair.

Lu Xiangsheng reflected the situation, Chongzhen also thinks that this matter is indeed sorry for Lu Hanqiang, his companion reads for himself to fight in the north and south, block the east and kill the west, and solve his countless troubled problems, it is with the full assistance of his companion that he has signs of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty, which is all due to Lu Hanqiang, but he neglected to supply his troops. Because the firearms are quite strictly controlled in the country, not any army wants to equip it, it must be reported online by the following Chengcheng, and finally approved by the emperor and the cabinet, and transferred to the Ministry of War for verification, before it can be allocated by the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, if you get the official document and go to the Ministry of Industry to get these firearms, it depends on whether you can take out the kickback, if you can't get the kickback, then you can only sigh with hope.

However, when Lu Hanqiang was in the beginning, he was absolutely not controlled by Donglin, and the cabinet of the Ministry of War was treated, thinking that he wanted to apply for the formation of a firearms battalion, maybe the soldiers did not report to the top, so it seems that he was negligent and wronged Lu Hanqiang.

Based on the guilty mentality of Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng began to follow the normal procedure and apply to the cabinet for Li Hanqiang to increase the establishment of the firearms battalion. ”

As a result, things are often so weird, in fact, the cabinet auxiliary Zhou Tingru should sell Lu Hanqiang a face, because in any case, in this rebellion against Shanxi Liukou and Shandong, Lu Hanqiang made a great effort, and also kept Zhou Tingru's auxiliary position in disguise, as a result, Zhou Tingru is now the end of the crisis, and he has long forgotten the ancient admonition of drinking water and thinking about the source, and now he thinks that Lu Hanqiang is his absolute political topic, Zhou Tingru took out the Donglin purpose of opposition for the sake of opposition, and Qian Qianyi Min Hongxue, who had just pinched his head and broke his blood, united again, In this matter, they resolutely stuck Lu Hanqiang's firearms battalion, anyway, in their opinion, as long as Lu Hanqiang's tiger added wings, they must resolutely resist, if they do not resolutely suppress Lu Hanqiang, if he wins a few more wars against Jiannu, then the Lone Chen Party will be more arrogant, Lu Hanqiang will be more domineering, Donglin These righteous men and gentlemen will enter the catastrophe forever, and the division of feudal towns will appear in this Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, and the world is in danger.

Now each of them prays to God and Buddha at home, and implores the gods and Buddhas to let Lu Hanqiang lose a few games in a row, so that he will sit firmly in the court, so that the Ming Dynasty will have a more brilliant prospect.

Therefore, the ministers in the court finally found another excuse to bite, and Donglin and the Lone Ministers Party pulled this boundless bite to the ground.

And what made Emperor Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng most painful was that the Ministry of Industry, as the base camp of the Lone Chen Party, also complained bitterly, because according to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, these 50,000 people need at least 20,000 firearms and all kinds of inexplicable firearms, such as a swarm of bees, chaotic arrows, tiger zun, red-clothed cannons, etc., etc., etc., but these all cost money, and at the same time it takes more time, such as a fire system, let the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty do it, there is no one in a year or two years, it is absolutely impossible to complete the production of a fire system, you tell me at this time, That would simply kill me, so the Ministry of Industry Shangshu had to write to Emperor Chongzhen, I can give Inspector Lu full support, but I really can't help.

At the time of these two difficulties, Lu Xiangsheng put forward a compromise proposal to the emperor, that is, simply bypass the cabinet and ministers, and directly transfer the firearms in the Beijing camp to Lu Hanqiang, strengthen Lu Hanqiang's attack on Liaodong Jiannu, and recover Liaodong faster. Because Jingying is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and even their military salaries and equipment are supplied by the Son of Heaven, the court does not count what it says, so wouldn't it be a penny?

After Chongzhen got this suggestion, he felt that it was very feasible, and after informing the commander of the Beijing camp of this suggestion, the commander of the Beijing camp showed that it was indispensable, anyway, these firearms were not necessary for themselves, and the Beijing camp itself was just a royal honor guard, as for the battle, it was completed by local troops, as long as these old men in the Beijing camp had more armor and knives and guns, so that the armor was bright and the swords and guns were bright, and when the emperor went out on patrol or review, it was more bright to do a good job of humanoid scenery, of course, Lu Hanqiang was given these things, can't be given in vain, so after some bargaining, Lu Xiangsheng used 1o thousand taels of silver to get these firearms for Lu Hanqiang, so that the 50,000 army was brought to Lu Hanqiang, the third brother, and he was complacent that this strengthened Lu Hanqiang's strength.
