Chapter 293 Personally inspect and arrange matters for the new army
One advantage of being the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is that he has a lot of resources in his hands.For example, the fifty eunuchs in front of me are the ones who master the pinyin annotation method best, and they are also the 50 articulate eunuchs selected from the eunuchs in Neishutang.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said kindly: "I can tell you today that when the new army is established, you will be sent to the new army, and each of you will assign 90 new soldiers to teach them how to read. A method of pinyin annotation, in the form of a pair of ninety, as I showed you, you can use the blackboard tool..."

Hearing this, these young eunuchs were all surprised, not knowing what it was.In the past, but never heard of ah!

"In addition to teaching them how to read, we should also pay attention to their thoughts and correct practices that do not conform to military discipline in a timely manner. In addition to military discipline regulations, there are also words and deeds that affect marching and fighting and endanger the court..."

When these eunuchs went to the new army positions, they were actually supervising the army, but unlike the previous supervising troops, their responsibilities were more and more extensive, and they must be literate.But if we recruit scholars to do this kind of thing, I am afraid that the effect will be very difficult. After all, the reservedness of scholars and the pride in their bones against warriors make it difficult for them to integrate with soldiers.

But these young eunuchs are different. As the emperor's servants, they can only do what the emperor asks them to do.In short, the emperor is their heaven, and only when the emperor is satisfied can their future be bright.And in terms of background, the eunuch and Qiu Ba seem to be more equal, no one is higher than the other, and there will never be a scholar who shows superiority from his bones when facing a warrior.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at these young eunuchs, keeping their astonishment in his eyes, but remained calm, and continued to explain: "Besides not affecting the rest and training of the soldiers of the new army, you can also tell them more about loyalty to the emperor. The story of serving the country, regarding these, I will send you some examples later."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a while to let the young eunuchs have time to digest, and then said: "This position is very important to the new army. Therefore, I will subdivide the position of supervisor The military system of the new army will be divided into teams, banners, bureaus, divisions, departments, battalions and divisions according to what Qi Jiguang set up in Jizhen in the past. Therefore, the most basic supervisory army is the bureau supervisor, which is for the six ranks When the training of the new army is completed, I will promote you to higher-level supervisors based on your performance. They are bureau supervisors, division supervisors, department supervisors, battalion supervisors, and division supervisors. From the seventh rank, from the sixth rank, from the fifth rank, to the master supervisor from the fourth rank."

Upon hearing this, all of these young eunuchs' eyes lit up immediately.Although it sounds like they are all from the first level, the level of the Ming Dynasty's supervision system has never been high, such as those censors.They didn't care about this, on the contrary, if the emperor hadn't been here, they would have roared and cheered wildly.

You must know that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are located in the official office. There are twelve prisons in total. Each prison has one eunuch, the fourth rank, one left and one junior eunuch, one from the fourth rank, one eunuch on the left and one on the right, and the fifth rank. One member, the sixth rank, the long follower, Feng Yu has no fixed number of members, from the sixth rank.

And these young eunuchs are currently only studying in the inner school, and they are at the bottom of the eunuchs. Even if they are lucky, they still have to work through qualifications and climb up step by step.Don't talk about other things, just having a grade requires luck, and it takes time to stand out from the crowd of eunuchs.

But now, according to what the emperor said, after they went to the new army, they were at least at the sixth rank, and when the training of the new army was completed, there would be senior eunuchs among them who were equivalent to young eunuchs.How could such a shortcut not make them ecstatic!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see the joy on the faces of these young eunuchs. He gave them a little more time to be happy, and then continued: "The new military supervision system is different from the past in many ways. It cannot be done casually. Competent. There is still a month before the formation of the new army, you should prepare first, and don't let me down!"

"Slave obeys the order!" The young eunuch immediately responded loudly, his voice was quite sharp, obviously very excited.

Emperor Chongzhen did not pass the decree, but visited Neishutang in person and told these eunuchs about these things, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Of course, apart from this matter, he also attaches great importance to other matters related to the new army.This level of importance is definitely beyond the expectations of those courtiers.No, after the explanation in the inner school hall, he set up a military battle and went to inspect the armor and weapons in person.

According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, armor and weapons were supervised by the Military Weapons Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and the Military Warfare Bureau of the Internal Supervision Bureau.In addition, the armor of the soldiers of the capital is collected when it is used, and it must be returned to the inner treasury when it is used up.For example, if you want to hold big ceremonies, sacrifices, hunting, expeditions, etc., you will receive armor from the inner treasury. After these things are completed, the armor and the like will be returned to the inner treasury.

In this way, logically speaking, the inner library has enough armor storage.Once there is an urgent need in the border town, it can also be transferred from the capital.This is how Daming has a very strict system for the management of armor.

However, since the Wanli period, the armor of the capital's inner library has been difficult to use.For this reason, in the ninth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli made a decree specifically for this purpose, reprimanding the Military Weapons Bureau and the Military Warfare Bureau, saying that the armor they made was rough, wasted money and food, and was useless.A special decree ordered the two factories to manufacture [-] pairs of armor for military use, with a deadline of one year for [-] pairs and five years to complete them.

For the new army that is being formed, Emperor Chongzhen will use it as a benchmark for future military restructuring.For this reason, first of all, this new army must be a strong army, able to win battles, and have definite achievements, so that it can be used.Because of this, he had to personally check all the packages for the new army.

Or knowing that the formation of the new army was imminent, the eunuch Wu Weiting, the admiral of the arsenal, had already made preparations. As soon as the emperor arrived, he immediately had fifty pairs of armor of various types extracted and placed in the courtyard one by one for Emperor Chongzhen to see in person.

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen looked at these armors himself, and he couldn't tell whether the armor was good or not.However, he was also prepared, and said to Baihu, a one-armed Jinyi guard who followed him: "Chen Baihu, go and see, are these armors practical for Jianlu?"

"Follow the order!" Chen Er took the order, without looking at other people, he went forward and squatted down, lifted it up with one of his hands and weighed it, tapped his knuckles to listen to his voice, or stomped on it with his feet violently. etc.

Emperor Chongzhen watched Chen Er's movements, glanced at Wu Weiting out of the corner of his eyes, and seeing his expression, his heart felt cold.

This Wu Weiting was also one of the eunuchs in Emperor Chongzhen's hidden residence.After he became the emperor, the eunuchs in these hidden residences also increased, and they controlled various positions in the palace according to the degree of cronies.

　There will be five updates tomorrow! The fourth update should be completed at noon.
