Chapter 30 The Battle of War

Pang Tianshou walked forward cautiously, raising his head cautiously. In his heart, he always felt that his prince had changed a lot in the past few days.

After learning about the Jianlu banditry, he no longer went to the Wenhua Palace to manage politics, nor returned to the harem. He stayed in the Qianqing Palace, planning many deployments.

He is decisive.

He is determined.

He is confident.

This change can be described as earth-shaking, but Pang Tianshou felt that this change was normal. After all, the Jianlu invasion of the Ming Dynasty caused a great sensation.

"Pang Tianshou, send someone to tell the queen that I cannot return to the harem during these days." When Pang Tianshou was stunned, Emperor Chongzhen stopped and said to Pang Tianshou.

"Right now, the country is in turmoil. As the Son of Heaven, I should lead by example. After this crisis is resolved, I will return to the harem."

"This slave accepts the order!"

Pang Tianshou immediately responded with his hands raised.

The emperor is still the same emperor, and his friendship with the queen has never changed.

"Meet the Emperor!"

At the Military Aircraft Department station, Wang Chengen and others, who had been waiting for a long time, saw their emperor, and they all hurried over and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.

"Wang Daban, you still know how to come to see me."

After seeing Wang Cheng'en, Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands folded and said, "I thought that my Chief of Ceremonies, who was in charge of the eunuchs, had forgotten about me."

"This slave is guilty!"

When Wang Chengen heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Even if I die, I will never forget your Majesty. It's true..."

"Okay, I understand."

Emperor Chongzhen knew Wang Chengen's loyalty to him better than anyone else. Seeing Wang Chengen's behavior, he waved his hand and said, "Tell me, what is the current situation in the military affairs department?"

"Back to your lord, the military situation has been sorted out."

Wang Chengen took out a document and said respectfully: "The former eunuch in charge of the military affairs bureau failed to live up to the emperor's favor and has been secretly executed by his slaves.

This is the list of available firearms and gunpowder reserves from the War Bureau, please see it."

"Um."

Emperor Chongzhen took the document and looked through it. In fact, Wang Chengen has not returned yet and has not called the new eunuch in charge of the Military War Bureau to come over. Then he must have found something.

Although Wang Chengen said it in an understatement, the more it is like this, the more serious it is, and through the list of documents presented, Emperor Chongzhen can get a glimpse of it.

"Is he the new eunuch in charge of the Military War Bureau?"

Closing the list of documents in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the eunuch standing next to Wang Chengen, frowned and said: "How many gunsmiths and gunpowder makers are there in the War Bureau at the moment?"

Wang Chengen did not answer directly, but turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Yixian standing next to him.

Seeing this, Zhang Yixian, who was originally worried, hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Back to the emperor, this servant is the new eunuch in charge of the Military and War Bureau, named Zhang Yixian.

At the moment, the War Bureau actually controls 371 gunsmiths and 189 gunpowder makers."

Zhang Yixian?

Looking at the reserved Zhang Yixian in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen was filled with emotion. There were indeed many useful eunuchs in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Just yesterday, I don't know how many people were supposed to be suffering, but they were lifted up in advance by themselves. Now, they are helping themselves to organize and improve the inner court with uneasy and nervous emotions.

Unexpectedly, Wang Chengen reorganized the four divisions and eight bureaus and removed Zhang Yixian. Interesting, interesting. It seems that Zhang Yixian can shoulder the next heavy burden of the war bureau.

"You guys come in with me."

Looking at the uneasy Zhang Yixian, Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and walked quickly towards the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department. Wang Chengen and others saw this and hurriedly followed him.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

The Han generals on duty at the military aircraft office shouted loudly when they saw Emperor Chongzhen returning. However, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts were not here at all at this time.

"Zhang Yixian, I have an important errand that I want you to do right away."

Emperor Chongzhen, who walked into the main hall, ignored Sun Chengzong and others, but walked quickly towards the dragon case where he was, and pulled out a document from the pile of memorials.

Sun Chengzong and the others who were present at the ceremony all had doubts in their hearts when they heard this. Who is this Yi Xian?

However, after seeing the robes worn by Zhang Yixian, they knew that he was an eunuch of the inner court, but they did not know what his specific duties were.

"This slave is willing to die for Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yixian, who was excited in his heart, when he heard this, he couldn't think of anything else. He directly expressed his loyalty first and let Tianzi see his loyalty.

I can get the position of eunuch in charge of the Bingzhan Bureau, but if I don't do it well, I'm afraid that I will end up like the former eunuch in charge of the Bingzhan Bureau.

"There's no need to die. You can lead the whole army and make the two things I wrote."

Emperor Chongzhen walked up to Zhang Yixian, handed over the document in his hand, and said with a serious expression.

"One is the Gunpowder Bureau under the General Bureau. All existing gunpowders are made into granular gunpowder according to the method I wrote.

Remember, although I need this thing urgently, I can't do it too hastily. It must not leak or explode!

One is to summon gunsmiths from the Military War Bureau to build a vessel filled with granular gunpowder according to my idea and fill it with scraps of iron.

If you can handle these two things well, you will have made a great contribution. I will not hesitate to reward you when the time comes, but you must not make mistakes in the things I emphasize!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will keep this in mind!"

Zhang Yixian's hands trembled slightly as he took the document from Emperor Chongzhen and expressed his position: "Although the emperor must be in a hurry, he must not act too hastily. There must be no water leakage or explosion!"

Emperor Chongzhen ignored Zhang Yixian, and instead looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Sun Qing, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, you are now seconding all the Ordnance Bureau, the gunsmiths, and gunpowder makers under the Ministry of Industry to the War Bureau.

We also asked the Ministry of Industry to transfer all the gunpowder and iron materials stored in the Ministry of Industry to the War Bureau. This matter must be handled as soon as possible and must be implemented today."

"I accept the decree!"

Sun Chengzong, who didn't know what he meant, hurriedly raised his hands and answered.

"Okay, don't stay here anymore." Looking at Zhang Yixian in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and get it done, don't waste time here."

"Slave, please leave."

Zhang Yixian responded immediately.

Wang Qia, Li Banghua, Zhou Yanru and others standing in the main hall looked at the excited Emperor Chongzhen, and they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts what the emperor wanted to ask the Bingzhan Bureau to forge, and he showed such urgency.

Demeanor?

The emperor has never been like this before!

What is granular gunpowder?

Is that any different from facial gunpowder?

What Emperor Chongzhen is doing now makes Wang Qia and the others more and more confused. Recalling that not long ago, when Han Xu and the others wanted to use the dispatch of factory guards to do something, they were scolded by the emperor and left. This is also

Called Wang Qia, Li Banghua and the others no longer dare to secretly speculate on the emperor's intentions.
