This is a test, but it is not easy to guess what the old man is going to test, whether it is to test military ability, or to test public spirit, or to test decision-making ability? It's hard to say, at least Hongqing can't see through the old man's real intentions in turning such a fold over for a while, but there is one thing Hongqing is clear, that is, this matter must not be delayed, and a clear answer must be given as soon as possible!

It doesn't matter, it's dead or alive!

Hongqing pondered for a while, but he couldn't guess what the old man's intentions were, and he simply didn't bother to have more mushrooms, gritted his teeth, reached out and picked up the wolf pen resting on the pen stand, and quickly wrote the pen with a wave of the pen.

"Heavens, send this recital to Ruijingxuan immediately."

As soon as the abridgement was finished, Hongqing put down the pen casually, waved his hand, and called Zhang Zhao, who was waiting on the side, and commanded in a calm voice.

"Wow!"

Zhang Zhao, the word is heavenly, Kangxi forty-eight years of Jinshi was born, since he was a child has the reputation of a prodigy, nineteen years old is a high school jinshi, ranked second in the second class, choose Shu Jishi, because of outstanding performance, this year in early May into the study to walk, although there is no explicit provisions, but basically to serve Hongqing alone, equivalent to the role of a personal secretary, this time to hear Hongqing has an order, Zhang Zhao did not dare to slack off, hurriedly responded, took the fold with both hands, bowed and bowed, and hurried to the direction of Ruijingxuan.

"Huh."

Although Ma Qi is buried in the official document, but obviously his mind is on Hongqing's side, there is no side, because the old fourteenth part of the excerpt is too big, and too sensitive, although Ma Qi does not want to touch his hands, but it is impossible not to care, at this time I heard Hongqing say this, my curiosity inevitably rose, but then, Comrade Ma did not intend to ask the roots, so he just raised his head, smiled at Hongqing, and immediately buried himself in the pile of documents.

"Huh."

Seeing Ma Qi's face full of curiosity and reluctant not to ask, Hongqing couldn't help but be happy, but he didn't intend to satisfy Ma Qi's curiosity, so he just smiled lightly, and also buried his head in the pile of briefs, waving his pen and writing abridgements.

"Your Majesty's dictation, Xuan, Renjun Wang Hongqing, Rui Jingxuan will meet you."

Zhang Zhao went for most of the hour and didn't return, but Qin Wuyong led the two little eunuchs to hurry over and announced the old man's summons.

"The grandson knocks on the emperor's fate."

Since the old man is called, Hongqing did not dare to delay it slightly, and as soon as the order was completed, he was accompanied by Qin Wuyong to Ruijingxuan, which was not far away, and just turned out from behind the screen, and saw the old man sitting behind the copywriter in casual clothes, and Zhang Zhao bowed down and stood on the side with a slightly red face, with a look of embarrassment on his face, it was obvious that he had just been confused by the old man, Hongqing's heart immediately moved, but he didn't dare to delay more, and hurriedly rushed forward, respectfully It was a big salute to pay homage.

"Well, let's get even."

The old man raised his hand and called out very kindly.

"Thank you Emperor Mafaronen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hongqing respectfully thanked the court according to the rules of the court, and then stood up, and bowed slightly to pose as a deputy respectful to listen to the instructions.

"Abridged, I've read it, it's written okay, but there are a few places that are not very clear, I want to hear your details, and I'll talk about it."

The old man was obviously very satisfied with Hongqing's courteous performance, but he didn't say much, just nodded approvingly, and went straight to the point.

"Yes, grandson."

As soon as the old man said this, Hongqing didn't dare to slack off a little, and hurriedly bowed down to answer the promise, and then quickly organized the language, and said unhurriedly: "Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, the land of Western Xinjiang is more desert and less fortified cities, the war is more in the field, we are many and the enemy is outnumbered, and the enemy's strategy is in the guerrilla, delaying the advance of our army, therefore, although the war is complicated, it is not big, and the advantages of artillery are difficult to play. If we look at the depth of morale and tactical choices, there is a big difference between the presence and absence of an artillery brigade, so Sun Er thinks that Uncle Fourteen's proposal should be feasible. ”

"Well, what about that artillery command college?"

The old man is a person who has fought a lot of vicious battles, and he is very familiar with the way of military strategy, and he knows that what Hongqing said is true when he hears it, and he is very satisfied in his heart, but he does not comment, but quietly asks again.

"Back to the Emperor Marfa, since the Eastern Crusade, the Ministry of Industry and the manufacturing warehouse have been dedicated to their lives, has been newly created various types of artillery more than 10 models, whether the range or accuracy, is not comparable to the past, however, the operation is already relatively complex, if there is no relevant training, it is difficult to play the sharpness of the artillery, and, artillery tactics have been very different from the past, in order to strengthen the army, it is necessary to build a relevant training system, now, if the Fengtai battalion artillery brigade is transferred to the Western Front, the Beijing division garrison will be insufficient, and the new army must be trained again, therefore, The grandson thought that if he took this opportunity to build an artillery academy, which was specially designed for the training of artillery officers and soldiers at all levels, if it could be successful, the armaments of various parts of the Qing Dynasty might be updated in turn. ”

Hongqing has long wanted to put the military academy on the stage of the Qing Dynasty, two years ago, he did not hesitate to make huge concessions to the Fourteenth Master, that is, he thought that he could improve the military system of the Qing Dynasty in order to prepare for the future war with the Western powers, this is no other, with the existence of a huge trade surplus over the years, the Western powers will one day make a move on the Qing Dynasty, if you don't prepare early, you will inevitably be worried, once defeated, the tragedy of that time and space in the previous life will inevitably be repeated, and this is naturally not the situation that Hongqing wants to see, and it is precisely because of this, Hongqing will continue to find ways to bring the military academy to the table, at this time, the old man has a question, Hongqing is happy to explain in detail.

"In this way, you are not very optimistic about the prospects of the old fourteen's expedition?"

The old man still didn't comment on what Hongqing said, just nodded thoughtfully, groaned slightly, and asked an extremely sensitive question.

"Huang Ma Fa misunderstood, grandson did not have this intention, according to grandson's opinion, my Qing Dynasty's expedition is a sure victory, however, unless the Dzungar Department makes a big mistake, it is really difficult for my Qing Dynasty to win quickly, the war may be delayed for several years, and we must also beware of the evil neighbors in the north taking advantage of the situation to create chaos, and it is more prudent to advance slowly than to attack quickly."

What is the judgment of the prospect of this western expedition, there is no one in the world who knows better than Hongqing, there is no other, just because Hongqing knows very well that the old fourteen has no intention of winning quickly, at least before the old man returns to the sea, the old fourteen will definitely not end this war, otherwise, what will he do to compete with the brothers for the throne, of course, he understands in his heart, Hongqing will never declare it, but this is not difficult for Hongqing, a few sentences of analysis, it is already from a strategic point of view to explain the prospects of this battle.

"Well...... then in the opinion of the Artillery Command Academy, who should preside over it?"

For Hongqing's assertion, the old man is obviously not very satisfied, no side, for this westward expedition, the old man is almost willing to give up to the old fourteen, except for the transfer of the new army has never agreed, it is really asking people to give people, asking for money to give money, isn't what he wants is a quick victory? But when it came to Hongqing's mouth, there was almost no hope, which made the old man feel a little unhappy, the problem was that Hongqing's analysis was reasonable and well-founded, and the old man couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while, so he could only breathe out of his mouth and change the topic.

"Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, my grandson thinks that only the thirteenth uncle can do it!"

Others don't know the meaning of military academies, but Hongqing is very clear, it is the cradle of cultivating descendants, if possible, Hongqing really wants to be the principal by himself, but unfortunately he doesn't have such a chance, even if the third master ascends the throne, the throne of the principal is difficult to talk about on his head, there is no him, not many people can see the importance of military academies at the moment, but with the passage of time, especially the gradual deepening of military reform, there will only be more and more people who can see the strangeness, as far as Hongqing's sensitive identity is concerned, Whether it is the old man or the third master, I am afraid that they will not agree with Hongqing to hold the power of the military academy, because of this, although the power of the artillery command academy can be said to be coveted in his heart, Hongqing still did not hesitate to push the thirteenth master out.

"Well, I know, let's go get busy first."

The old man glanced at Hongqing with flickering eyes, but still did not give an answer, nor did he comment on the various matters that Hongqing had said before, but just said noncommittally and gave the order to expel the guest.

"Yes, my grandson is leaving."

Hongqing obviously didn't expect the matter to be over like this, and for a while he really couldn't figure out the direction of the old man's holy will, and couldn't help but be stunned, but the old man's golden mouth was opened, but Hongqing didn't dare to delay it in the slightest, so he could only bow down and salute suspiciously, and quit Ruijingxuan.

What does the old man mean?

The audience is over, but Hongqing is full of fog, no side, he can be sure that the old man is indeed playing the trick of the test this time, the problem is that the exam is over, Hongqing is still stunned because he doesn't understand what the old man wants to test, you must know that Hongqing is not the first time to play the right alone, in the past, but if there is a discussion, whether it is successful or not, the old man will have a clear instruction, but this time it is good, he asked a lot of questions, but there was no comment, which really made Hongqing a little confused......
