Chongzhen turned around and said to Xu Guangqi: "Xu Aiqing, if this new type of musket can be mass-produced, in July, I will want 2,000 pieces. How much does it cost? I will directly contact the Ministry of Revenue to get it!"

Xu Guangqi's heart sank. The emperor's words were too cruel.

The new gun is just a drawing, so I thought I would have 2,000 guns in July.

Xu Guangqi said: "I do my best."

"Tang Aiqing, you have to bear this matter for me."

"Don't worry, your Majesty, I will do my best."

Everyone walked to the Red Cannon, and Chongzhen patted it with his hands and said, "Can this thing be built 100 more doors this year?"

As he said that, Chongzhen looked at Sun Yuanhua. This guy also learned how to make cannons from Xu Guangqi, and he had a special liking for cannons. He specialized in it and had a lot of experience in this regard.

Sun Yuanhua was miserable in history.

It should be said that Kong Youde was cheated so badly.

In August of the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji's soldiers approached the Daling River, Zu Dashou was trapped and his food was eaten up.

Sun Yuanhua was the governor of Dengzhou and had troops stationed in the Liaoxi Corridor to provide support.

This task was handed over to him.

At that time, there were 100,000 Liao people in Shandong who took refuge. Sun Yuanhua thought it would be better to use the Liao people to support Liaodong, so he asked Kong Youde and other officers who had fought in Liaodong to set off with a group of people and artillery.

What did Kong Youde say?

The veterans, the marching speed was slightly slower.

As a result, after finishing the food, I went to find all the landlords and masters along the way, but they were all turned away.

One of the soldiers happened to steal a chicken from the landlord's family and was found. The landlord was very powerful in the local area, so of course he planned to go with Kong Youde and his group.

You should know that the military status in the late Ming Dynasty was very low, and there was often no food or military pay.

As a result, the two sides had a quarrel, and Kong Youde was just going to do something, but he was going to be the opposite!

I've long wanted to rebel!

Liaodong did not go to the end, so he withdrew directly. He cooperated with Geng Zhongming and beat Dengzhou and captured Sun Yuanhua.

Sun Yuanhua was very good to Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming. Kong Youde was quite conscientious and did not kill Sun Yuanhua, so he asked him to go back.

Kong Youde and others transported all the artillery to Huang Taiji and officially surrendered.

This is simply black humor.

Emperor Chongzhen in history was furious and beheaded Sun Yuanhua.

If you want to talk about this, you can’t blame Sun Yuanhua. Sun Yuanhua is a technical talent. How can he suppress veterans in management?

Of course, this is a historical event.

The time traveler has changed history.

How can a talent like Sun Yuanhua be killed casually? Technical talents must be used as technical talents.

Sun Yuanhua was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is not enough manpower."

"It's okay. You can add as much as you want. Just get the money from the Ministry of Revenue!"

"this……"

"I support it with all my strength. The Ministry of Revenue dares not give it to me. Tell me! Don't think about anything and build the cannon!"

"yes!"

Sun Yuanhua felt that he was busy next time.

I will build 100 artillery this year, which is really busy!

However, Sun Yuanhua is definitely a person who can stand up, and Chongzhen would never doubt this.

Chongzhen said: "My dear friends, let go of your hands and make money, how much do you want!"

"I will obey the order!"

"I don't know much about firearms. The kind of gun on Bi Aiqing's drawings, according to my opinion, it's called a flintlock rifle. Let's see if I can make one next month and try it."

Johnson Chan said: "The problem is not very big. If it is rushed, it should be possible at the end of the month."

"good!"

This year's new army must be equipped with a batch of flintlock rifles in the middle of the year. If this goal can be achieved, the musket battalion will be able to go to the battlefield by the end of the year.

The flintlock rifle has many benefits, is simple and convenient, and will not be affected by the weather.

A musketeer can get started in at most three months, and then the production capacity will keep up, and you can get started in batches and produce on a large scale.

Coupled with the hollow square formation, it can almost defeat most of the army in this era.

And relatively speaking, the cost of musketeers is much lower than that of cavalry.

But it's still very expensive.

This is normal, and Chongzhen can still accept this.

After the task of manufacturing firearms was carried out, Chongzhen greeted the Ministry of Revenue again, and Xu Guangqi's money could not be blocked at all.

Bi Ziyan also felt sore.

Xu Guangqi’s money cannot be stuck, and Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua’s money cannot be stuck.

Damn it!

The Ministry of Revenue only has so much money. After using it, will the old minister go to steal and rob?

I feel that this Finance Minister is really hard to be a good minister!

No, no, you have to be optimistic about the money. If you say it, please give it to me?

It's really over, it's me who is unlucky!

Chongzhen didn't know Bi Ziyan's current contradictory mood. After he briefly met Bi Ziyan, he met the next very important person.

who?

This year, this person will be the one who will pacify the peasant army.

Hong Chengchou!

Although Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jiannu in history and became a very shameless traitor, even a piece of shit was useful for him.

What's more, Hong Chengchou is of great use.

What has Hong Chengchou been doing this year?

Be a political participation in Shaanxi.

He participated in politics from the third rank, not small anymore.

He is a civil servant and a standard Jinshi.

Some people learned to fight later, while others were born to fight.

For example, Lu Xiangsheng is a person with extremely high talent, such as Hong Chengchou, also a person with extremely high talent.

Lu Xiangsheng's talent is ruthless and he rushed forward with a knife. When King Lu Yan came, everyone was afraid.

Where is Hong Chengchou?

Dark enough!

It’s not that my skin is dark, but that my heart is dark enough!

Hong Chengchou is a person who is so stupid and can do things in the fastest way.

"My minister Hong Chengchou meets your Majesty, Sheng'an!"

"Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen sat on it and looked at Hong Chengchou. This man looked quite loyal, giving people a feeling of harmlessness.

But the time traveler Chongzhen knew that Hong Chengchou was not an ordinary person!

He said lightly: "Do you know why I asked you to come?"

"I don't know, please let Your Majesty make it clear."

"I want you to form an army immediately. It will be completed before May. I will give you money and you can recruit people yourself!"

As soon as the emperor said this, Hong Chengchou was stunned on the spot and didn't react.

Why did you suddenly ask yourself to recruit troops?

The emperor continued: "I have thought about your organization and join the new army number *** for you, Tianwu Guard!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I must devote myself to my whole life until I die!"

Although he had not yet reacted to what happened, Hong Chengchou decided to agree immediately, and he had no choice.

Is there room for bargaining for the tasks given by the emperor?

"Okay! Have you figured out where to recruit people?"

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and said, "Time is tight, so I'll go to Shaanxi, so I'll ask Your Majesty to give me a handwritten message, so I'll also make it easier for me to do things."

"Yes! What else do you want to support?"

“Military pay…”

"Military pay is paid according to the new army, 1.8 taels per month, is it enough?"

Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned. This was too high. He quickly responded: "Enough!"

"Remember, you don't have much time, and I need to see that you are effective. As long as you can complete the task, I can give you a title and a silver reward. Whatever you want, just take it!"
Chapter completed!
