Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 380 The Progressive Man Qing

The emperor became interested and began to speak eloquently,

Obviously, the new East Factory is still far from the old East Factory.

The old Dongchang is actually just an institution that supervises Jinyiwei, and the manpower is still drawn, and it doesn't have much ability at all, but it is better in terms of punishment.

Jinyiwei is responsible for internal and external intelligence news, while Dongchang, whose main responsibility is in the Gyeonggi area, is mainly to look after the emperor's home.

An image metaphor, Jin Yiwei is a hunting dog, while Dongchang is a watchdog.

What the hound needs is ability, while the watchdog needs loyalty and obedience.

After listening to the emperor's words, Yang Le didn't show any impatience, but assured him: "Don't worry, Dongchang will never let a fly go in regards to the capital."

Finally became a regular, and became a majestic factory owner, Yang Le is very satisfied.

In the absence of the Supervisor of Rituals, Dongchang is the leader of the eunuchs, and no one dares to offend him.

"Congratulations, Eunuch Yang!" Tian Ren's eyes narrowed with laughter, and he cupped his hands to congratulate him.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Yang Le also smiled: "I'm still envious of Eunuch Tian, ​​you have a bright future if you can serve by His Majesty's side!"

"It doesn't matter if you have a future or not, I just like to serve His Majesty!"

Tian Ren said with a smile.

"Pretend!"

Turning his back and leaving, Yang Le hummed coldly in his heart, and walked away happily with a relaxed pace.

Tian Ren, on the other hand, turned his head and muttered, "During the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years ago, how many Dongchangchang officials were able to die well?"

The so-called No.1 in the palace is nothing.

At this time, the emperor had finished his breakfast and suddenly fell into deep thought.

With the expansion of power, the importance of the army has become more and more prominent, and it has also made him feel more and more frightened.

Like Jinyiwei and Dongchang, if the army is involved, it will inevitably arouse fear.

And the army, which is like a blank area, cannot live without surveillance.

Similarly, the reliability of the Military Judiciary is constantly decreasing in the emperor's mind.

First of all, Zhu Yi and Sun Lin have been cultivating military justice for three or four years, and now they are deeply entrenched, and they have almost become the world of the two.

And more importantly, Sun Lin's sister, Sun Xuan'er, is a member of his harem and belongs to a foreign relative.

Sun Changzhou himself is the commander of Jin Yiwei.

This is a bit scary to think about.

Don't test human nature, because human nature cannot stand the test.

Likewise, love a subject and don't put him in danger.

"It's time for a change."

Zhu Yixi muttered, and immediately raised his head, and shouted to Zhu Jing who was standing guard outside the door: "Thirteen, I have a new errand for you!"

"what?"

……

Beijing City.

Chengxi Bieyuan.

It was originally an imperial village, and together with the Forbidden City in Beijing, it became the private property of the Aixinjueluo family.

As the patriarch of the Aixinjueluo family and the uncle of the current emperor, Dorgon naturally has the right to dispose of it.

After all, she is the queen mother, and she is at his mercy.

"Boom—"

The huge cannon sound resounded in the entire Xiyuan, as if the earth dragon was turning, shaking the sky and the earth.

"it is good!"

Looking at the huge crater on the ground, Dorgon looked at the black cannon, very satisfied:
"Not only is it more powerful than before, but it's also much more accurate."

"To the Regent, compared with the previous red cannon, this one can shoot three to five miles away. The huge ammunition is enough to destroy all city walls."

Tang Ruowang of Qin Tianjian, with a binoculars, looked at the hugely damaged shells in the distance, and said involuntarily:
"The hypocrisy of the South absolutely does not have such power."

Obviously, Tang Ruowang was very satisfied with his improvement.

Hong Chengchou, who was waiting on the sidelines, remained silent.

This made Dorgon curious, and asked: "Mr. Hong, such a giant cannon can be said to be a first-class sharp weapon in the world. Is there anything you are dissatisfied with?"

Hearing Dorgon's question, Hong Chengchou quickly raised his head and said, "My lord, our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty are best at field battles, but now we are obsessed with attacking cities. I'm afraid it's putting the cart before the horse."

"Field battle? Who was the Qing Dynasty afraid of?"

Dorgon snorted coldly: "Those Han people will only rely on the city wall to defend to the death. As long as they take down the city wall, they will surely die."

"My lord, it's not the same as usual."

Hong Cheng sighed, and said solemnly: "According to my various inquiries, Zhu Yixi started his career with firearms."

"The artillery on Tongguan City, especially the artillery on Dashanguan, hindered the intruder and won him a chance of life."

"firearm!"

Dorgon muttered, his face gloomy.

At this time, the Qing Dynasty was very proficient in the application of firearms, and couldn't put it down.

For example, he had asked Tang Ruowang to improve the red-clothed artillery, so that he could break through the city more smoothly and regain Nanjing.

As much as you value firearms, you have as much fear.

"I heard that they have a kind of musket that can kill war horses, and can penetrate even wearing armor. For the Qing Dynasty, it is a huge threat."

Hong Chengchou talked about a musket, or half a cannon.

"It's long, heavy, and more powerful than a shotgun, but less than a cannon. What is it?"

Dorgon was taken aback, is there such a thing in the world?How has he never heard of it.

"Maybe it's the Lumi gun!" Hong Chengchou said.

"Tang Ruowang, do you know what this is?"

Tang Ruowang, who was at the side, was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "It should be the Lumi gun. If it wasn't for this, I really can't think of anything so close."

"Since the Ming army has it, we also have it."

Dorgon opened his mouth and said proudly: "As long as we outnumber them, we can win the battle.

"

Hong Chengchou nodded in approval.

Dorgon was very happy, and solved another dilemma, which is quite good.

Feeling happy, Dorgon relaxed his whole body and said: "The Ming army is vulnerable, as long as you find the right gate of life for the prey, you can have a good time."

Hong Chengchou was noncommittal.

Even with his little knowledge, he can understand Dorgon's fear of Nanming.

After a while, Dorgon turned his head and left.

After Hong Chengchou sent him away, he turned his head and asked Tang Ruowang, "Father, can the Lumi gun penetrate a war horse?"

"No." Hearing this, Tang Ruowang was taken aback and said, "The Lumi gun is not that powerful."

"That's not a Lumi gun!"

Hong Chengchou immediately turned his head, his face was ugly: "The cost of the Lumi gun is equivalent to several shotguns. If it is forged on a large scale, the court will not be able to afford it."

"I was negligent." Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment, and then sighed: "Listen to you, I'm afraid they are not Lumi guns."

"Strange musket."

Hong Chengchou sighed softly, and immediately looked at the artillery: "One day is not clear, and the crisis on the battlefield is not resolved for one day."

Tang Ruowang watched him leave, feeling thoughtful.
