Chongzhen Chat Group

When Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, he felt somewhat disappointed when he thought of the artillery battalion soldiers Man Gui had selected for him. The artillery foundation of those soldiers is basically not much more than that of ordinary people. If you find some random soldiers and teach them for a few days, they will probably be more powerful than the original artillery.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's approach, except for a few soldiers who were more attentive in artillery skills, did not consider whether they had ever operated artillery before, but directly evaluated their agility in selecting other artillerymen.

He also thought about the reason for such a result. As far as the original Beijing camp was concerned, things like artillery live-fire training were something that happened almost once in eight hundred years. Even a considerable number of people, although they were artillerymen in the Beijing camp, actually never fired a single shot.

The reasons are: first, there are no gunpowder supplies; second, artillery has a lifespan, and it will be scrapped after firing a few shots, and we cannot afford to lose the money; third, many artillery are simply not up to standard, and if we want to conduct live-fire training, we might not It will blow up the barrel, and it will be too costly to lose troops and supplies; fourth, there is no such budget at all. How much does one training cost? Why bother with this!

As for the artillery battalion of the new army, Emperor Chongzhen, as a person who traveled through time in later generations, naturally understood the importance of training. Therefore, in order to ensure the training of the new army as much as possible, he had to limit the size of the new army.

It was precisely because of the shortage of supplies and funds that Emperor Chongzhen did not train a new army with all firearms from the beginning. In that case, he would not know how much money it would cost just to train. As for the so-called three-month training for recruits, they can pick up firearms and line up to be shot. Haha, if you try it against the Jianlu in this period, you will definitely defeat those firearms gangs.

In the final analysis, the essence of war is a comprehensive contest in all aspects. As long as firearms are not advanced enough to transcend the times, weapons will never be a decisive force. After all, it is people who determine victory or defeat on the battlefield!

Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, and his thoughts quickly focused on the Ordnance Bureau and the Military War Bureau. He had met Bi Maokang yesterday, who was recommended by Nan Juyi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. He felt that he was very talkative about firearms and seemed to have great insights, so he asked him to go to the Ordnance Bureau first. On the Bingzhan Bureau side, it was still the eunuch who was in charge, so he would reorganize it first according to his wishes. The principle guidance strategy was to improve the artillery. Wait for them to re-fiddle with the structure first, and then go and inspect it in person when it's almost done.

After Emperor Chongzhen thought about the matter for a while, he habitually entered the chat group to check the news. When he scanned the members of the chat group and saw Wu Ergou's name, he remembered what he had thought before, it was time to make arrangements for him.

The original idea was to let him go to Guan Ningjun and then reveal some false news to Hauge in the chat group. But judging from his confrontation with Hauge, it seems that this path is not very good.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about Wu Ergou's arrangement, and it was inevitable that he would think about what future generations could borrow from him. Not to mention, after a while, his eyes lit up and he thought of a good arrangement.

So, he immediately summoned Liu Xingzuo, the commander of Jinyiwei, to see him. He would do well to leave this matter to him.

Besides, Wu Ergou himself has been in prison since he was caught. He originally accepted his fate, thinking that with a scar on the mouth of the bowl, he would become a good man again eighteen years later. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Ax Gang and other gang members who were arrested together were escorted to Yongping, where they were said to be serving death sentences. But he himself was still locked there, as if he had been forgotten.

At first, he was still thinking about it, could it be the person behind the gang leader who protected them? But think about the fact that the gang leader and others are in trouble, isn't this the way to protect them? Could it be that he wanted to kill people and silence them, but why was he still locked up without asking any questions?

Wu Ergou tried hard but couldn't figure it out. Later, he got used to this forgotten situation. Anyway, he had a chat group in his mind. When he had nothing to do, he started to chat with Hauge or chat with others, which was not very boring.

On this day, he was bragging about his martial arts skills to Zhang Dingguo in the chat group, bragging that he had killed several captives in Liaodong, when he heard the clattering of the chains at the cell door, waking him up from the chat group. Reality.

The dark prison can be seen clearly. But when he saw it, he was stunned. Why did two imperial guards come in at the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?

Before he could figure it out, the two imperial guards in golden robes didn't say anything, picked him up and walked out.

"Haha, are you sending your uncle on his way?" Wu Ergou was almost dragged away. The shackles on his feet slid on the ground and made a metallic clanking sound. He himself raised his voice and seemed to be smiling, "Decapitated wine" Well, your grandpa hasn’t drank for a long time, how about trying it?"

The two imperial guards in gilded uniforms ignored him, which made him a little bored. Suddenly, Wu Ergou realized that something was wrong. The original prison guard could not be seen. Where had he gone?

Just as he was thinking about it, he was taken to a room outside the cell. The two captains put him down, bowed and clasped their fists in salute to the person sitting at the table, then held the handle of the knife in their hands, turned and stood at the door, as if they were on sentry duty.

Wu Ergou stood up, and the first thing he saw was that there was wine and food on the table. Smelling the aroma, my stomach growled.

He resisted the temptation, shifted his gaze, and saw the man sitting facing him at the table. He was a middle-aged man. Although he was wearing plain clothes, he was very imposing. It could be seen that he must be a man of status.

At this time, Wu Ergou didn't care who this person was. He stood up and walked over. No matter how dirty his hands were, he grabbed the meat with one hand and the wine pot with the other. He stuffed his mouth with wine and meat, and ate and drank without a moment's leisure. .

The strange thing is that the plainclothes middle-aged man didn't scold or even speak. It was as if he didn't exist, and he allowed Wu Ergou to eat and drink randomly.

After a while, after appeasing the glutton, Wu Ergou finally couldn't resist the weird atmosphere. He also sat at the table and stared at the man a little strangely: "Who are you? What do you want to say? Don’t hide it!”

The man didn't say anything, he just took out a waist badge and showed it to him.

Wu Ergou benefited from the new function of the chat group and basically recognized all the Chinese characters. He was surprised when he saw it. He didn't believe it, and after confirming it, he looked at the middle-aged man's face with disbelief.

"What do you want me to do?" Wu Ergou was a bachelor, so he knew that he must have something to do, otherwise he would not be able to see him, and there would be no need to put up such a posture.
