Chapter 1006 Today, our soldiers will drink horses in the Arctic Ocean
In the room, the only room in the high-level military equipment hall of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen stood on the podium.On both sides of the podium stood the governors of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, and in front of them sat the first batch of students, that is, Li Zicheng and his mid-level officers.They all looked excited, and many of them blushed.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them, swept everyone's face slowly, and then said: "There are millions of troops in our Ming Dynasty, and many of them have made meritorious deeds. Not to mention anything else, in the current Liaodong battlefield, Jianlu was beaten They became shrinking turtles and no longer had the arrogance of the past. Among them, many soldiers with outstanding military exploits emerged. According to my request, they are already qualified to come to the Ming Dynasty Advanced Armed Forces Hall for further studies, and then I will entrust them with Heavy duty. But..."

After a long tone, looking at the Han and Mongolian soldiers below, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly raised his voice and said: "I still decided to choose you to be the first batch of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty's Advanced Armed Forces Hall. Do you know why?"

Hearing this, the governors standing beside were a little curious.Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. These people in front of them are just ordinary soldiers from Guihua City, and they seem to have no credit for the previous battle to capture Hetao. Some people may be Mongols who only joined Daming later.Why did these people become the first batch of soldiers of the Daming Advanced Armed Forces Hall, and became the emperor's disciples?

Li Zicheng and his officers heard this, but they understood why, because there was no other explanation than what they were about to do.But considering that those places are uninhabited places, they are actually of little value to Ming Dynasty. Compared with those comrades who have made great contributions to the war with Jianlu, they seem to be a little ashamed to be the first batch of soldiers in the high-level military equipment hall of Ming Dynasty, the first batch of real soldiers. Son of Heaven student.But looking at it from another angle, it was even more obvious how much the emperor attached importance to what they were going to do.

Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen turned serious and said seriously: "Because you want to expand the territory for me and Ming Dynasty. Some people may think that the northern land is barren, extremely cold, and even thousands of miles away. There is no output. , A place like this, even if it is taken down for me, Daming, it doesn’t make much sense? But, I want to tell you, it means a lot!”

Hearing this, Li Zicheng and others couldn't help but cheer up, and listened attentively.But Zu Dashou and other governors blinked their eyes and were still a little confused.

"The reason why we now think that the Northland is barren, extremely cold, uninhabited, and a place where birds don't shit is just because we see limited things. Our current ability can only make limited use of what God has given us. things. For example, trees, coal, iron, copper, etc., in that place that everyone thinks is barren, in fact, the number of these things is very huge..."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen spoke, he eloquent, and the audience was also listening carefully, listening to some words they had never heard before.

"Some people may not take it seriously, and think that these things are also available in our Daming, and we don't care about these things in the Northland. But I can tell you that our ability to consume these things will become faster and faster, so fast that one of you can't even use them." Unimaginable speed. If things go on like this, one day, these god-given things in our Daming will be exhausted. On that day, there will be no wood, no coal, no iron, copper, etc., what will happen to our children and grandchildren? manage?"

No one thought of this statement.Whether it was Li Zicheng, Zu Dashou, or others, they were all shocked by the prospect described by Emperor Chongzhen.They never thought that what they saw in front of them would be exhausted in the future.If someone else said this, I believe many of them would think that this is unfounded worry.But these words were spoken by the Ming Emperor, so the effect is different.They naturally think that this is farsightedness, and they have seriously imagined, if such a day comes, what will the children and grandchildren do?
Emperor Chongzhen's voice was full of force, and he continued to speak loudly: "Here, I can tell you a piece of good news, an artifact that will make the Ming Dynasty soar, an artifact that will make the people of the Ming Dynasty rich, and an artifact that will make the people of the Ming Dynasty rich. It is almost usable to turn copper and iron and other god-given items into the artifacts of our Ming wealth. When this artifact can be officially built, the speed of consuming coal and other god-given things as I mentioned will be faster than you can imagine. I want to use this artifact to make Daming the most powerful country in the world, make the people of Daming the richest people in the world, let the people of Daming live and work in peace and contentment, no one will starve to death, no one will freeze to death..."

Hearing these incredible words, everyone opened their mouths in surprise.What kind of artifact is so powerful?As before, if it was said by ordinary people, the audience would probably just scoff at it and draw the conclusion of "an idiot's dream".However, this statement is said by the Ninth Five-Year Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty who speaks well, so the credibility is very high.Especially these people present have been influenced by the "clairvoyance" and "shunfeng ear" mastered by the emperor. Now they say that there will be such a magic weapon, and they believe it a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at their surprised expressions, and did not explain that the magic weapon he mentioned was actually the steam engine, a power device for energy conversion, that would bring Ming Dynasty into the industrial age.Because these people won't understand right now.It is better not to speak than to waste your tongue.

He looked at Li Zicheng and the others, and continued to say loudly: "Maybe we are working hard to plan the Northland for the future, which is not understood by most people, but one day in the future, when the resources at our disposal in Ming Dynasty are exhausted, we will The children and grandchildren of the world will discover that we have left them a treasure trove of the North that will continue to consume them for countless years. They will be infinitely grateful to us!"

Having said that, he paused for a while, letting them digest what he just said, and then he said seriously and seriously: "You may not be able to wait for the glory in the future, but I know that I will give you this honor. Let you become the first batch of soldiers of the Daming Advanced Armed Forces Hall. I also believe that you, the first batch of soldiers, will be the pride of the Daming Armed Forces Hall, and will be the role models for the soldiers who later entered the Daming Advanced Armed Forces Hall to learn from and be proud of. object!"

Hearing this, Li Zicheng and the others were already excited. At this moment, none of them felt ashamed to stand here.All of them held their heads high and held their chests high, wishing to express their pride in their hearts by roaring loudly.

"In fact, someone has realized the treasure house of the North!" Emperor Chongzhen's face became more serious, and he continued to explain, "A small country in the northwest of Tsarist Russia has sent their troops, prisoners, and people they can send. Send them to the Northland, trying to occupy it first. I will never agree to this. You say, can you agree to let them rob us of what we want to leave to future generations?"

"No!" Li Zicheng and others responded almost in unison.Nobody taught it because it was their subconscious consensus.For the orientals, benefiting their descendants is the most important thing. Emperor Chongzhen has already said so clearly, and the answer they gave is naturally very clear!

"Okay!" Emperor Chongzhen yelled after hearing this, and then said, "According to the information I have received, there are not many people sent by Tsarist Russia at present. You have more than a thousand horses, which is enough to deal with them. I accept I'm going to explain to you the things you need to pay attention to when going to the Northland..."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the governors of the five armies who stood on both sides, and then continued: "And they will also teach you all the details of going to the north. I can tell you, Only you can enjoy the personal teachings of me and them. In the future, soldiers will not have this treatment when they enter the Daming Advanced Military Equipment Hall. The reason for this is that I feel that you are worthy of my attention, and I hope you will not let me I am disappointed, laying a big treasure house for our descendants!"

At this time, Li Zicheng had already forgotten about whether to be a knight or not. He was very excited, and immediately left the table and stood on one side, then clasped his fists in both hands, knelt down on one knee and played loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the last general Even if you die, you must occupy this treasure land!"

The other mid-level officers also imitated Li Zicheng, left the seat and knelt down on one knee, fisted with both hands, and agreed in unison.

"Good!" Emperor Chongzhen said with great praise, "General Hussars once rode the vast sea, and today my soldiers will drink horses to the Arctic Ocean, so that our descendants, just as we are proud of Generals Hussars, will also be proud of you for generations. pride!"

After speaking, he stepped forward in person, first helped Li Zicheng, and then went to help other mid-level officers one by one.

Zu Dashou and the others watched all this from the sidelines, and couldn't help but feel faintly excited.When I was young, why didn't I encounter such a thing?The emperor is so kind, to do such a meaningful thing, it is really worth dying!

When Li Zicheng and others returned to their seats, Emperor Chongzhen began to explain the things to pay attention to in the Northern Expedition.

He needs Li Zicheng to find out the topography of Siberia, where there are still people living, and then decide where it is better to build a city to facilitate Ming's rule. One day in the future, he will connect to the train to make the connection closer...

The things he mainly explained were actually some effective means of controlling Siberia through the Russian invasion, such as using rivers, building cities at key points, and using these as nodes to further expand Ming Dynasty in Siberia. power.

As a reward for these Ming soldiers, all the trophies obtained earlier will be rewarded to the soldiers who pioneered Siberia.Anyway, with Daming's wealth, he didn't like the first little possessions.Based on this price, these soldiers of the Northern Expedition will not have much supplies from Daming in the later period.Otherwise, the logistics supply will be a big problem.

In addition to these, Emperor Chongzhen, including the governors of the five armies, explained to Li Zicheng and others the various situations encountered in the North, how to prevent them and how to deal with them according to the contents of the brochure.With Emperor Chongzhen as the traverser, it will be easier for Li Zicheng and others to conquer the northern land than for Tsarist Russia to expand eastward in a smear.At least, a rough map of Siberia hangs on the wall of the classroom.

There are many things to talk about, just as Li Zicheng predicted in Guihua City, they will basically spend this winter in the capital.In addition to theory, there is also military training, which happened to be carried out in advance at the Beijing Camp.

And the Emperor Chongzhen had a lot to do every day, at least in the hearts of his courtiers, he should have a lot to do every day, so naturally it was impossible to spend every day here.He also gave a lecture to Li Zicheng and the others on the first day. The rest of the content was explained by Zu Dashou and other governors of the five armies.

But even so, this specification is high enough.Although the high-level military hall of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very simple, it does not have its own yamen, only a room has been requisitioned as a classroom in the junior military hall of the capital; there is only a plaque indicating that there is a new yamen here.But the emperor said directly, the governors of the five armies' governors' mansion gave lectures, and the treatment of this standard spread quickly.

All of a sudden, the topic of the capital was once again attracted by new things. Basically, everyone would discuss this high-level military equipment hall of Ming Dynasty, no matter who they were, they would say a word or two.In the military, of course, the repercussions are even greater.Almost all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty longed to enter the Advanced Military Equipment Hall of the Ming Dynasty to further their studies.

This incident also shocked the officialdom of Daming.First of all, Shen Yongmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't hold his breath.In the past, the establishment of the junior military equipment hall in the capital was regarded as a new army. If the emperor wanted to do it, he would do it well, and he would treat it as the emperor's game.Although later on, it turned out that the new army's combat effectiveness was stronger after passing through the capital's junior military equipment hall, which was indeed a good thing, and he didn't worry too much about it.

But now the establishment of the high-level military equipment hall in the Ming Dynasty is completely different from the junior military equipment hall in the capital.According to rumors, elementary military equipment halls can be set up in various places, but if you want to go further, you have to go to the high-level military equipment hall in the Ming Dynasty.In this way, in the future, the road to promotion for warriors from all over the world will be like the imperial examination, from the junior military training hall to the advanced military training hall.In this way, isn't the final decision-making power of the command of the army held by the Ministry of War now taken away by this high-level military equipment hall?This power was finally obtained through the struggle from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. If it was lost like this, who would be willing?
Thinking of this, Shen Yongmao couldn't hold back anymore.Sitting on the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, he had to go to Emperor Chongzhen to get back the power of the Ministry of War.However, Emperor Chongzhen looked at him, but he just said something lightly, which left him speechless, and he had to kneel down to plead guilty.
