Although Sun Yuanhua was Xu Guangqi's disciple, he was far from Xu Guangqi's erudition. He specialized in Western firearms and was very proficient in casting and machining cannons.

As for the president of the Academy of Sciences, the emperor was preparing to grant titles. For example, Xu Guangqi wanted to give him an earl. This is different from a civil title, and it can demonstrate the emperor's importance to the Academy of Sciences.

According to the emperor's vision, every president of the Academy of Sciences will be awarded a title in the future. Of course, if you can become the president of the Academy of Sciences, your knowledge and virtue are all high requirements.

The emperor also knew Sun Yuanhua's qualifications, and it was still a lot worse to be the president of the Academy of Sciences. But now, he has no other suitable candidate, so he can only settle for the second best.

The emperor seemed to refuse Sun Yuanhua and asked for a reply again. He did not make a decision immediately and pondered for a while.

The Academy of Sciences and the Weapons and Powder Bureau have similarities and differences.

To keep it confidential, the Weapons and Powder Bureau has stricter management than the Academy of Sciences. The research and development of some military projects cannot be placed on the Academy of Sciences, which is full of people.

Thinking of this, the emperor smiled faintly and said, "Since Sun Qing wants to work in the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau, there is no need to force him to go to the Academy of Sciences."

Sun Yuanhua opened his mouth, thinking that the emperor was angry, so he thought of defending him.

"The Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau is of great importance." The emperor raised his hand and stopped Sun Yuanhua and said loudly: "I want to promote the bureau to be called the 'Weapons R&D Center', which is at the same level as the Academy of Sciences. Sun Qing, you are the supervisor of the center, and your official rank is the same as your teacher Xu Guangqi."

"Wei Minister--" Sun Yuanhua hesitated for a moment, and knelt down and kowtowed, "I thanked me for being so generous, long live the grace of heaven, long live long live long live long live long!"

Sun Yuanhua was not as knowledgeable as his master, but he was the best in the research, development and use of firearms. The "Western Fraternal Divine Machine" he compiled not only had theoretical knowledge, but also incorporated a lot of practical experience.

For example, firearm diameter technology, firearm ballistic technology, ammunition manufacturing technology, artillery cart manufacturing, artillery manufacturing technology, artillery manufacturing technology, artillery casting technology, etc., this work alone deserves the title.

Unfortunately, in history, shortly after Sun Yuanhua finished writing this book, he was beheaded by Chongzhen because of the "Wuqiao Mutiny".

It sounds very pitiful to say that Chongzhen, as the last emperor, hangs himself in the southeast branch.

But a poor person must have something hateful. Looking at the things he did, he was more like a spy from the Later Jin Dynasty, causing trouble to the death of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sun Qing is exempt from courtesy." The emperor was very happy. These were all precious talents of the Ming Dynasty. With them, they could let them fully utilize their intelligence. How can they be just Jiannu?

Sun Yuanhua stood up and bowed and said, "Long live, I want to go to Liaodong, and I will use my own artillery, fire rockets, attack Jianlu, and master more accurate actual data to improve Weichen's "Western God Machine".

The emperor blinked his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head and said, "Sun Qing doesn't have to go there in person. Send a few capable people, and the effect is the same."

Sun Yuanhua bowed to receive the order, knowing that it was a long time to cherish himself and did not want him to take risks on the battlefield. He was very moved.

Zhu Youxiao asked about the production situation of the Weapon Bureau again. Now he is making every effort to manufacture weapons and ammunition, and the output is encouraging.

As long as weapons, ammunition, food and food supplies are sufficient, the Ming army can continue to fight with its manpower advantage. Or continue to fight in turn. Within half a year, even if there is no decisive victory, it can still drag down Jiannu.

Although Zhu Youxiao hopes to set the victory in one fell swoop, he is also mentally prepared to extend the war period. After all, the victory or defeat of the war is not subjective will, but there are many unexpected factors.

"The output has increased, and the quality must be guaranteed." This was not a reminder and warning by the emperor once and twice. "It is related to the lives of frontline soldiers, and it is impossible to be careless."

"Long live and feel at ease." Sun Yuanhua hurriedly guaranteed, "The inspection and supervision procedures are very complete, and the reward and punishment system is implemented in place. The minister personally supervised and did not dare to cause problems with weapons and ammunition."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and praised that the Ming Dynasty in history was also advanced in firearms. However, in the environment of craftsmanship and bureaucratic corruption, the quality of weapons was so low that officers and soldiers were reluctant to use them.

The establishment and development of the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau was the first emperor to establish a charter and continue to promote and improve it. Therefore, the emperor still believed in Sun Yuanhua's guarantee.

The emperor looked gentle and said with a smile: "Sun Qing should cultivate more talents. Whether he is knowledgeable or experienced craftsmen at the bottom, as long as he has outstanding contributions and skill, he can be boldly promoted."

"Sun Qing will have great use in the future and cannot serve as the chief officer of a weapon bureau." The emperor added, with expectations and appreciation in his eyes.

"I thank you for your appreciation, and I will definitely select talents and give you talents to the weapons bureau."

Seeing Sun Yuanhua's gratitude and touching look, the emperor was very satisfied.

Every era has one thought. It is normal for a minister like Sun Yuanhua to be loyal to serve.

After Sun Yuanhua retired, the emperor pondered for a long time, believing that the current weapons and equipment were already the most advanced in the world, and there was no need to continue climbing the technology tree.

In fact, he just wanted to add a mission to Sun Yuanhua and create a rifled musket, which is the Minnie gun.

But the emperor was also worried that it would disperse Sun Yuanhua's energy and affect his normal work. Ping Liao's slaves was an overwhelming matter, and he had to give way to serve this.

As for rifled rifles and Minnie bullets, if they develop in one or two hundred years, they will not affect the Ming army's leadership in the world's weapons and equipment.

As the time was calculated, the emperor walked to the sand table and adjusted the small flag on it according to the latest military information report.

The adjustment of the enemy and our forces is very small, which shows that the Ming army in Liaodong did not take any major actions, and it can also be said that it is preparing for war.

But in most of the past half a month, the most obvious change was that the Han and Mongolian coalition forces in western Liaoning, the flying cavalry in the Beijing camp, and the infantry of the two associations were basically in place, circumventing, assaulting, and surprise troops, and they could be launched at almost any time.

Blocking news and strengthening confidentiality is possible for the Ming army. However, the actions of the Han and Mongolian coalition forces could not be concealed by Jiannu.

These targets north of Changtu, Anlezhou, Kaiyuan, Tieling and Shenyang are the key points of harassment by the Han and Mongolian coalition forces.

The infantry and the flying cavalry of the two associations planned to set out from Zhenwu Fort, directly rush to Huangniwa, and attack Liaoyang with friendly forces in southern Liaoning.

Huangniwa! During the Guangning War, Jianlu set out from this, crossed the Liaohetao, attacked Xipingbao and other fortresses. Under the destruction of the rebel general Sun Degong, he defeated several Ming reinforcements.

The way of heaven is good, but the situation is reversed. Now, the Ming army also wants to follow this shortest attack route and directly attack Liaoyang.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a long time and planted Ming army flags in Huangniwa, Changding Fort, Changning Fort, Chang'an Fort and other places.
