"Alright, alright!" Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand a little tiredly and said, "What else is wrong with Xu Qing?" ”

Compared with the cabinet members and Xu Guangqi, he believed more in the cabinet ministers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have used those auxiliaries as auxiliaries.

Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't want to talk about the so-called high-yield crops anymore, Xu Guangqi was very helpless, so he had to play again: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing about the minister, that is, Liaodong Jianyu may make a detour to Mongolia......

"Xu Qing!" Emperor Chongzhen raised his voice slightly, shouted, interrupted Xu Guangqi's speech, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "The matter of Liaodong Jianyu can be handed over to Inspector Yuan, so don't worry about it." ”

After a pause, he reminded again: "The thing I gave you to compile the new calendar is what you need to pay attention to. This is a major matter of the country, and we must not be careless. Xu Qing, you still need to devote all your energy to this matter! ”

"But ......" Xu Guangqi was a little unwilling, and wanted to reiterate the possibility of the matter and the serious consequences it would bring.

Emperor Chongzhen signaled to the eunuch on the side, and the eunuch immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, get up!" ”

Hearing this voice, Xu Guangqi was very helpless, so he had to bow down and send him off.

Emperor Chongzhen stood up from behind the imperial table, walked a few steps, and saw Xu Guangqi lying there, the silver thread peeking out of his official hat made him stop, and with a slight sigh in his heart, he said: "Xu Qing, I know that you are worried about state affairs. Your guess is nothing more than that the border army does not dare to fight with Jianyu, and I know it. ”

"I appointed myself as Li Banghua's assistant governor and acting governor of Jingying Rongzheng, which was quite effective. Not only did the army increase from 85,000 to 100,000. And the Yunlin, Longjing, Baoxu, Golden Drum, Banner, Armor, Sword and Halberd have a new look, and they have the appearance of a strong army! ”

Xu Guangqi listened to Emperor Chongzhen talking, but he didn't look up. Just listened silently.

"Li Qing offered advice to me, and he made more decisions, carefully selected, changed chariots, refined gunpowder, special equipment, and kept the duties, saved money, exchanged horses, and practiced cannons. These nine methods are all methods of strengthening the army, and I believe that it will not be long before the three major battalions of the Beijing camp will be the elite of the world, and it will be easy to build a field war with only one captive! ”

An emperor explained in detail to his courtiers. This also shows that this courtier is still in the emperor's heart. Emperor Chongzhen said so much, and felt that it was almost enough, so he turned to the harem, and the last sentence floated in the Wenhua Palace.

"Xu Qing, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own politics, do a good job in compiling the almanac!"

Xu Guangqi stood up for a long time and walked lonely to the outside of the Wenhua Palace. He is also a person who has trained in the army, and he knows that it is one thing to say it, and it is another thing to do it.

Since the change of the civil fort of the country. The combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp plummeted. The monarchs of all dynasties wanted to change this situation and turn the Beijing camp into a strong army, but nothing has changed. On the contrary, as time goes by, the combat effectiveness becomes lower and lower.

Li Banghua's advice is indeed pertinent. But can he really turn Jingying into a strong army? Xu Guangqi was a little unconvinced.

But at the moment, he is just the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he has no right to worry about the training of the Beijing camp. If he attacked his colleagues based on speculation, he would not have been able to do it.

Think of Hu Guang's inference. Thinking about the arrangement of the court again, maybe it's really my own overthinking. Xu Guangqi can only comfort himself in this way.

Thinking of Hu Guang. Xu Guangqi couldn't help but look up at the sky, thinking in his heart that he didn't know where this young man who had traveled thousands of miles was at this time, if he heard His Majesty's words, would he still insist on his inference?

Hu Guang, who Xu Guangqi was worried about, didn't go to visit the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty at all, and hid in the grassland and was busy in the dark. This reform was first promoted. I really can't help myself.

It is now September, and the reform has been implemented for more than a month. Judging from the current results, at least the strength of the field army has increased greatly, and it can truly carry out orders and prohibitions.

At the mouth of the eagle's beak ravine, the cavalry regiment of the field brigade was training on the steppe. Hu Guang, on the other hand, was inspecting with a telescope.

I saw that at the forefront of the cavalry regiment in the formation was a real heavy-armored iron horse, so that all the men and horses were covered by iron armor. After testing, the iron armor on the body had to be shot with heavy arrows within twenty paces to potentially injure the people and horses inside, which was considered a hard enough turtle shell. Beyond the distance, or a light arrow, that's just a tickle for the heavily armored iron riders.

The first battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment was the Ironclad Heavy Cavalry, but the real Ironclad Heavy Cavalry had only one company, and the other two companies were only light cavalry. Unlike other light riders, they also take on the task of assisting heavy riders.

Although the number of ironclad heavy cavalry is small, it is the sharpest spearhead of the heavenly army. Every knight is a strong man with long arms and height, and the war horse is also the most powerful in a hundred. When encountering the enemy, depending on the situation on the battlefield, they either take the squad of ten cavalry as a row, or charge in a platoon of thirty cavalry, and move forward bravely, without retreating.

Hu Guang could see through the telescope that after the speed of the ironclad heavy cavalry was raised, it was like a horizontal line, neat and consistent, and the momentum was very amazing.

Seeing this, Hu Guang couldn't help but smile proudly. It is only in the steppe that there are enough horses to pick from; Only enough soldiers can select qualified knights among them, and this ability to control horses is really not comparable to Guannai.

The iron-clad heavy cavalry was followed by the light cavalry, all of which were leather armor made of cowhide, and they were all skilled in spears, sabers, bows, arrows, crossbows, and guns. Their mission is to harass the enemy or to follow up on the heavy cavalry to tear through a larger gap in the enemy line. Therefore, these light cavalry were also composed of very good soldiers in the cavalry regiment.

The last remaining light riders are equipped with the same equipment, but they are better at riding, mainly for pursuits.

This is the strength of the riding regiment, and Hu Guang is very satisfied.

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment is also a real cavalry regiment, but its strength is slightly inferior to that of the 1st Cavalry Regiment. After all, the resources of the Heavenly Army are limited, and a heavyweight unit must be assigned first. Therefore, the main task of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment is still used for the war on the Western Front, and it is enough to deal with the side of King Shunyi.

As for the three cavalry regiments, they were actually mounted infantry. War horses are mainly used for transportation, and they will dismount and line up when they are about to fight. The weapons of this regiment are mainly long-range weapons such as crossbows, bows, and flintlock pistols, and in melee combat, they are cheap and practical spears. By the way, the artillery company is under the jurisdiction of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment.

Although Hu Guang watched the cavalry regiment training, but in his heart he went through all the trump cards in his hand, comparing this field brigade if it encountered the strongest Liaodong Jianyu, I don't know how it would be, and suddenly saw a few horsemen galloping from the grassland. It looks like someone from the reconnaissance company, as if something is going on.

Sure enough, after looking at the binoculars for a while, Hu Guang suddenly recognized who the man in ordinary clothes was among the officers and men of the reconnaissance company, and he couldn't help but be happy! (To be continued.) )
