The Ming Dynasty is not anxious now. If Emperor Chongzhen had more confidants and more patience at the beginning of his imperial power, he would not be so exhausted by the current situation.

But this pot has to be borne by the current Emperor Chongzhen.

‘I want to be quick and I want to be a tyrant, but I can’t do it at all because of the current situation I am in.”

Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chariot, leaning against the cushion, feeling the shaking of the carriage he was riding, and secretly sighed in his heart: "It's great to be a tyrant. Whoever dares to be a tyrant, who dares to be corrupt and abuse his power, who dares to contradict, then kill him.

Let it go.

But what after I kill it?

Who will take over?

The most core thing in the Ming Dynasty civil servant group is that before the chain is put on, the more people killed, the more chaos the Ming Dynasty will be.

Many of the plans made before that time will be in vain.

One of the Shanxi officialdom has purged corruption and the other has settled the civil disasters of Shanxi and Shaanxi. It will cause many things. If you kill aimlessly in the court, then there will be many rebels overnight in the Ming Dynasty.’

Compared with the second year of Chongzhen, Jianlu invaded the Ming Dynasty. Under the planning and deployment of Emperor Chongzhen, he was repeatedly purged with purpose and righteousness. I don’t know how much better the situation was.

At least at this stage, many government agencies led by the Cabinet and Military Affairs Office are openly doing things, and if you have your own eyes, you can solve many problems.

Unlike before, if you can't push and retreat, you will be truly frustrated.

"Old Master, Xishan University Campus has arrived."

Fangzhenghua's voice sounded outside the dragon chariot. The marching car stopped steadily. Emperor Chongzhen raised his head slightly and smiled.

It's OK.

Unexpectedly, the progress of the Martial Arts Institute was really fast. The firearm did not break through the technical barriers, but good news came from the cannon.

Today, Emperor Chongzhen was sailing to the west to conduct an on-site inspection. The red cannons made by Song Yingxing and others were based on the Fran machine cannon and the casting process were improved.

"I'll pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Under the sound of a mountain, Emperor Chongzhen walked out of the dragon chariot and looked at the people in front of him, and the huge schoolyard, where a cannon was placed in the distance.

The cannon was more than three meters long.

The car carrying the cannon was made of pure iron, with large wheels. Although they were far apart, Emperor Chongzhen could clearly see that some of the wheels were pressed into the soil.

"No gift."

Emperor Chongzhen reached out to signal, then walked down the dragon chariot and looked at Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Deng Yuhan, and Tang Ruowang, and showed a smile of approval.

Although the Military Preparation Academy was led by Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister actually came to Xishan for a limited number of times.

Warehouse matters must be managed.

Agricultural science needs to be managed.

Try to grow sweet potatoes.

When Xu Guangqi got busy, he didn't even have time to eat.

Xiong Mingyu, Wang Zheng, Li Zhizao and others are all older, so Song Yingxing is actually responsible for the management of the Military Preparation Institute.

"Song Qing, I look at the memorial you submitted and say that the casting process of the Red Cannon has been improved a lot compared to the past, and the range and power of the cannon have been greatly improved?"

Surrounded by everyone, Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the stands of the schoolyard and said as he walked: "If I can solve the materials needed to cast cannons, including the money spent, I can solve them for you, how much is the monthly yield?

This time, your Martial Arts Academy has made great contributions. If we can install more red cannons in our Ming army, our field combat capabilities will definitely be greatly improved."

Song Yingxing bowed slightly and said as he walked: "Your Majesty, the casting process of the Red Barbarian cannon, including the range and power of the cannon, can all be significantly improved. I would like to thank Johnson Chan and others.

If it were not for the opinions they put forward and the many arguments during this period, the process of casting artillery was innovated, it would be unrealistic to make a breakthrough so quickly.

If there are sufficient materials and silver and money required to cast cannons, according to the existing gun factory in Xishan, like the Red Cannons His Majesty wants to see, they can cast twenty pieces per month and provide gunpowder and cannons consumed during wartime. son."

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know much about the technology of firearms and artillery, including production. He told Song Yingxing and the others what he could think of.

As for whether it can drive the field of open flame artillery and artillery, it can be improved to another level based on the existing ones, it depends on Song Yingxing and the others.

Compared with Western missionaries such as Deng Yuhan and Johnson Tang, Emperor Chongzhen valued Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu and others, and even the corresponding talents they cultivated later.

If one is not my race, his heart will be different.

Western missionaries came to China with their own purpose. In addition to the so-called missionary cause, they also understood some other purposes of the Ming Dynasty.

All Emperor Chongzhen could do was to call missionaries to China, especially those who went to the Military Academy, to never leave the Ming Dynasty in this life. There were even Jinyiwei, who secretly monitored them to prevent letters from coming and going. , revealing the core secrets of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, at the Military Preparatory Institute, there is only one word, and it will cost money.

Emperor Chongzhen knew very well that there was no shortcut to the development of the field of firearms and artillery, just to try and make mistakes again and again, and to summarize experience and lessons.

This is why Emperor Chongzhen's treasury has become abundant now, but he dare not have any slackness at all. There are too many places where money is like flowing water.

A military hospital.

A new army.

Just the above two items, I dare not ask Emperor Chongzhen to relax.

‘This is the heavy artillery to capture the city and the village.’

Accompanied by everyone, Emperor Chongzhen came to the place where the cannons were set. Looking at the red cannons with green all over the body, he reached out to touch them. His hands were a little cold, but his heart was full of thoughts: 'It's just that this heavy cannon is suitable for defending the city, It is suitable for siege, but only in field battles, it cannot form artillery suppression.

The whole body is too large to be suitable for long-distance marching, and it cannot form a scale in the army. The shelling time is long. Even if it forms a scale, it will be surrounded by enemy cavalry.

Heavy artillery like this is cast on a certain scale and is still acceptable for use in Liaoning's front defense line.

The Military Preparation Institute should develop and mass-produce light artillery, medium-sized artillery, and the range and power of the artillery should be significantly improved.

I don’t know if the Huanhua bullet is going on. Whether the Martial Arts Institute has achieved great achievements is far from enough to rely solely on solid bullets.’

Although Emperor Chongzhen did not understand artillery technology, he understood the cost-effectiveness and knew better whether the red cannon in front of him was suitable for long-distance marching.

What Emperor Chongzhen considered was to be able to create an established artillery unit under the new army sequence he created, and to provide artillery fire suppression to the army in which he was in field battles, rather than being very powerful, but Such artillery with slow bombing efficiency.

While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about it, Joshua Chan, who was standing beside him, introduced the cannon: "His Majesty the Emperor, this bronze cannon in front of him weighs 3,000 kilograms..."

For Johnson Chan, he hopes to win the love and support of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty through the performance of the school artillery, so that he can get more money from the Martial Arts Institute, so that he can study more fields and at the same time

To meet the needs of missionary preaching, more churches are built in the capital.

Deng Yuhan, Luo Yagu and many other missionaries on the side all showed unconcealed excitement in their expressions. Unfortunately, Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts at this time were all about how to refine the types of artillery so that he could create a new army sequence.
