Wei Zhongxian was also a little frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, do you really want to personally lead the new army to the north to fight?" ”

"This is too dangerous, there are no eyes on the battlefield with knives and guns, in case Your Majesty bumps into it, it will also be a great event."

"Your Majesty really wants to come up with Xifengkou to support the Chahar Department, then you can also let Lu Shilang personally lead the troops, and the result is the same."

Obviously, Wei Zhongxian was also afraid of the last time Zhu Youxiao almost died, which left a very big psychological shadow on him.

If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao's corpse later, then he would definitely be dead.

He is now bent on saving Zhu Youxiao's life.

Even if Zhu Youxiao suffered a loss of a single hair, he was more anxious than anyone else.

"The battle that Lu Xiangsheng led the troops to fight was always different from the battle that I personally led the troops to fight."

"No matter how Lu Xiangsheng is, he is also a civil official, do you understand what I said?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly bowed his head.

Yes, why doesn't he understand!

Once Lu Xiangsheng gains independent command in the next war and finally wins the war, then it will be regarded as a civilian victory.

That's right, although this Lu Xiangsheng is Zhu Youxiao's henchman, it is still a victory for civil officials, and these civil officials will naturally dance more happily at that time.

Therefore, the first victory of the new army must be won by Zhu Youxiao himself.

In this case, this victory is unique to Zhu Youxiao, which can prove that even if Lu Xiangsheng can continue to win in the future, it is also the credit of his Zhu Youxiao.

Because the new army was formed by him.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also has his own plan, which is to support a new officer class to fight against civilian officials.

He stuffed Xu Xianchun and these people into the army, which is his idea.

People who were born as military generals are born to be inherently incompatible with civilian officials.

Now the strength of military generals is weak, so a general of the third or fourth rank has to kowtow when he sees a civil official of the military department of the fifth or sixth grade.

But if one day, Zhu Youxiao raised their status and gave them a knife, what would they do?

Zhu Youxiao looked at the soldiers on the school field with great anticipation, watching them place rows of guns one after another, and then quickly restarted reloading, and then released guns again.

But slowly, Zhu Youxiao thought of something again, and he couldn't be happy.

With such a shooting frequency, Zhu Youxiao was very happy and uncomfortable.

It's all silver taels!

Every time the new army conducted a training to release guns, Zhu Youxiao's silver flowed out like flowing water.

Fortunately, Xishan Coal Mine brought him nearly 10 million taels of income.

And next, there will be another large amount of income that will flow into Zhu Youxiao's internal funds.

Zhu Youxiao even had some expectations.

In the next two years, as the impact of the Xiaoice period increased, the famine must have become more and more serious.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao also needs more money to fight the disaster.

After Li Zicheng entered the capital, he was able to steal more than 80 million pieces of silver from these corrupt officials.

This used to be an official in the capital, not counting the officials in various places.

If there is no corruption among the officials in the court, then Zhu Youxiao himself does not believe it.

Zhu Youxiao also looked at Wei Zhongxian next to him helplessly, and there was a bit of hatred in his eyes.

"You eunuchs, don't always recruit some clown-like officials, this won't make a big deal."

"What I need are officials who can really get things done, and those officials under you can covet power, but they have to do things."

"Let them not always think of themselves as eunuchs and traitors."

"They have to understand that in my mind, they are royalists, they are loyal subjects."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he also hurriedly kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, this matter is the slave's fault, the slave and maid will definitely speed up the cleaning up of the waste of the corpse meal under their subordinates, and take in more officials for other purposes."

While Zhu Youxiao and Wei Zhongxian were talking, a huge explosion suddenly sounded at the artillery test site in the west.

This is the artillery training over there.

In normal times, artillery can only shoot cylindrical shells made of iron lumps, after all, the manufacture of nitrification explosives is indeed very difficult, and good steel has to be used on the blade.

However, every once in a while, Zhu Youxiao would also allow them to train with flowering bombs that were really filled with nitrifying explosives.

It was also to give the musketeers trained near the arsenal a confidence boost and show them how great a weapon of destruction they had.

At first, the nitrate explosives were so powerful that the onlookers were startled.

They understood that His Majesty actually had such a powerful thing in his hands, so what else did Jiannu have to fear, which further improved their confidence in fighting.

At the same time, a young official who had just been brought into the barracks by Lu Xiangsheng was also startled by the loud explosion.

"Lu Xiangsheng, is this the new type of artillery you said?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded proudly, "That's right, this is our Emperor of the Apocalypse's Golden Gun, which was drawn by His Majesty himself and brought us out." ”

"The power of this new type of cannonball is more than ten times greater than that of the previous iron cannonball."

"At the same time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's Golden Gun is also three times faster than the rate of fire of the previous Hongyi cannon."

Sun Chuanting secretly sighed in his heart, judging from the movement just now, he believed that Lu Xiangsheng and the others did not lie to him.

When he came, he had already heard that His Majesty's real purpose was to be able to fight in the field with Jiannu's army.

Sun Chuanting received a letter from Zhu Youxiao some time ago, and the other party hoped that he would return to work under his command and serve the new army.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao told Sun Chuanting about some of his military plans.

At that time, Sun Chuanting had already resigned and was at home, and he did not have any official position.

When he received Zhu Youxiao's letter, he was very shocked and moved.

Sun Chuanting could not have imagined that he, a small official, or an official who had already resigned, would be able to receive His Majesty's kindness and write a letter to him in person, hoping that he would be able to re-emerge.

In the past, Sun Chuanting felt that His Majesty reused eunuchs and excluded honest officials, which must be a faint king.

But now after Sun Chuanting received His Majesty's letter, his mind changed again.

It can be seen that His Majesty does not say anything else, but his vision is still very good.

Otherwise, how could His Majesty find out that he was a pearl, not only wrote to him personally, hoping that he would be a general, but also directly promised him the official position of a member of the military department.
