It is impossible to satisfy people's hearts. No matter how fair you do, you can still pick out the thorns. However, this time, there are memorials that are announced together with the final result, with some questions on them, and then supplementing the information again, which shows how serious the emperor has checked. In this case, unless there is a very great unfairness, no one dares to cause trouble.

Therefore, the announcement of the list of officers ended calmly. In the list of those officers, there was undoubtedly the name of Cao Bianjiao.

Next is to arrange according to the military system, including spearmen, swords and shields, archers, riders, etc. These are the elites of each side army. Personal combat skills are the primary condition for choosing a new army and do not need to be practiced again, which can save a lot of time.

The spearmen were all tall and long-armed soldiers, Kong Wu’s powerful soldiers, which allowed them to use longer spears, palladium and other long weapons, making the enemy unable to get close; while the sword and shield hands were able to skillfully use sword and shield to cooperate. The strength of the cavalry was also selected, and they were the best cavalry among the army of each side. Even if they fought against the enemy in front of the battle, they were not far from the Mongols who had been on horseback for the rest of their lives. In fact, some of these cavalrymen were from Mongolians and had been servants of various generals in the border army of the Ming Dynasty.

The training of the battle formation is carried out according to Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck formation, and the smallest unit is a class of ten people. After the battle formation training is done in the squad, the large mandarin duck formation with a larger number of people should be trained in units of platoons and companies. The purpose of the training is that when the first division faces the enemy, the whole division can be as big as a big mandarin duck formation, and the small can be as small as a mandarin duck formation in units of squads. Of course, the squad squad squad mainly focuses on chasing the enemy.

All archers and gunners form separate groups, that is, long-range firepower is individually assigned to be carried by side vehicles. In the battle, it can not only block the attack of the opponent's cavalry, but also protect one's artillery from the opponent's long-range firepower. The archers are assigned to the archers because the rate of fire is fast enough, everyone has a strong bow and a long range is enough.

For others, the training of an archer, especially an archer who can pull a hard bow, takes too much time and cost too high. But for the new army, these archers who can pull a strong bow are all ready-made, but are just drawn from the side troops. There is no need for additional training in personal archery skills. At this time of the Ming Dynasty, even if the musket can be improved into a flintlock rifle, its power at the forefront was far less than that of such archers who use strong bows.

Of course, after this group of new troops, it will be difficult to draw such strong archers to form an army. After all, archers like this who can pull strong archers are rare. At that time, the advantages of muskets can be reflected. As long as you can invest in capital and train time is short enough to quickly form combat power. In the future, the new army will have to be equipped with flintlock guns and the like.

The battle formation trained by the new army was a new formation developed by Qi Jiguang on the basis of the original "Mandarin duck formation" after being transferred to Jizhen. It initially had the scale of coordinated combat between various troops, mainly used to deal with enemies with a large number of cavalry like the Mongols.

It was just a bit regrettable in the original history. When Qi Jiguang's army was trained, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolian Altan Khan had reached a reconciliation, and there was no major war between the two sides. Therefore, this army with new formations did not play its due role.

Emperor Chongzhen did not need to worry about the formation, because the chief teacher Mao Yuanyi appointed was an expert. He was very relieved to be trained by Mao Yuanyi.

Relatively speaking, Emperor Chongzhen was more concerned about the course arrangements of eunuch political commissars, the effectiveness of teaching, etc. He was even more concerned about the report and summary of the eunuch political commissars' mastery of the soldiers' thoughts, and he checked them himself and never was lazy.

One thing that surprised him a little about the equipment of the new army. He originally wanted to express his ideas for the flintlock rifle. But unexpectedly, before he could say it, the new director of the Military Weapon Bureau, Bi Maokang, took the initiative to report to him the flintlock rifle of the Ming Military Weapon Bureau, which was the flintlock rifle that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to announce.

"Your Majesty, this is a fire gun that is born! Compared to the previous bird gun, it is really much better than it is."

Seeing Bi Maokang showing off his flintlock rifle invention, Emperor Chongzhen just smiled and nodded, and patiently listened to his show.

"I remember when our Ming army retreated to Jilin Cliff in the Battle of Sarhu, it was foggy and it was hard to see people. But our cannons and fuse guns must be lit in advance to trigger cannons and fire guns. In this way, the fire lights will be seen by the enemy and become targets." Bi Maokang talked eroticly in front of the imperial court, "I have carefully thought about it for many years and finally got this self-generated musket. There is no need to ignite the fuse in advance, and there is no need to worry about the fuse burning out, nor do I have to worry about the fuse touching the gunpowder of my surrounding comrades, and it can also be used in battles in strong winds. I can guarantee that after the fire guns are produced and the Jianlu will be destroyed and Liaodong will be restored!"

The Battle of Sarhu back then was always a pain in the heart of the Ming Dynasty. Bi Maokang was also one of the officials of that era, so he cared about it very much. Because of this, when talking about this self-produced musket, he even used the example of Sarhu back then.

After hearing Bi Maokang's words, Emperor Chongzhen was actually a little dissatisfied. It was always people, not weapons, that could determine the war, unless it was an epoch-making weapon, so advanced that it could make up for the factors that could make up for humans. The gap between a messile gun and a self-generated musket has not yet reached this level.

In Bi Maokang's expectant eyes, Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said, "This self-produced musket is indeed good. Bi Qing obviously puts his thoughts into it, and I feel very comforted!"

Bi Maokang was happy when he heard the emperor's praise. When he was about to be humble, he heard Emperor Chongzhen change his mind and asked him: "But everything has its advantages and disadvantages. I want to hear, what are the disadvantages of this self-made musket?"

"..." Bi Maokang was stunned before he could be humble. He had not had much contact with the emperor before, but he did not expect that the emperor was so young, but he had such mature ideas and knew that every thing must have its advantages and disadvantages. After listening to his own description, he could still maintain his own ideas and talk about the shortcomings of self-made muskets by himself.

To be honest, Bi Maokang was a little shocked. However, when he saw Emperor Chongzhen staring at him, he quickly came to his senses. He felt that the emperor's gaze was very clear, so he did not dare to hide it at all. He quickly reported: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The key to this self-generating musket is on this self-generating system."
