Chapter 1305 Zhao Shizhen doesn't want to delve into it

Xiao Ruxun told Zhao Shizhen his thoughts in simple terms.

Zhao Shizhen barely understood what the emperor meant, and knew that the emperor was not worried at all that those foreign vassals imitated and learned Daqin's technology and then had the same weapons as Daqin.

But he didn't know where the emperor's confidence came from.

He felt that the emperor had inexplicable confidence in many things. When everyone was very skeptical, the emperor stood up and said - just do it.

Then it was done, and everyone was amazed by the emperor's confidence and determination, thinking that maybe this is the wise king who can lead everyone to happiness.

But in Zhao Shizhen's view, the emperor's determination and confidence are very strange. The emperor doesn't seem to understand many things, but he knows what will happen in the end. He will describe some strange things that seem to be unconstrained, but in the end, they can be done. matter.

Zhao Shizhen is not a superstitious person, in his heart he doesn't believe in the real dragon emperor or the real dragon coming into the world, but Xiao Ruxun repeatedly made decisions that surprised him, and these decisions were still right, which made him very puzzled .

The doubts reached a certain level, and he even developed absolute trust in Xiao Ruxun. He didn't want to delve into it anymore, and felt that it was meaningless to delve into it.

After all, if you can find out something, why would Xiao Ruxun be the emperor?

How did he know so much about technology, agriculture, and business as a general? Who can explain it?

And these are not important at all, because Xiao Ruxun belongs to the type of person that no one dares to pursue.

Who dares to pursue his own emperor?Who dares to pursue their own gods?own master?

That's completely unnecessary.

But Zhao Shizhen thinks this way, which doesn't mean that other people think the same way.

Xiao Ruxun's practice of focusing on skills is completely unreasonable to some court officials.

The Confucian tradition places emphasis on classics and righteousness rather than skills. Some officials find it difficult to understand that the emperor repeatedly set up special schools to cultivate strange talents without mentioning the re-opening of the imperial examination to select talents.

But they are also powerless. Today's His Majesty gained the current political power by overturning the table and smashing all the pots and jars. He is not afraid of them at all.

Now that the Kong family is kneeling, scholars all over the world have suffered heavy losses due to the land reform, and the remaining batch of scholars with vested interests have long forgotten the teachings of the saints, and they are wholeheartedly helping Xiao Ruxun persecute other scholars.

The land reform has now spread to the entire Jiangnan and half of Jiangbei. The land reform movement in Jiangbei has penetrated into the hinterland and is in full swing. Seeing that the millennium power of Confucianism has been uprooted by Xiao Ruxun, they are powerless.

If it was still a year ago, it would be okay to say, but back then, no one of the big guys could see Xiao Ruxun's true nature clearly, and was frightened by his violent methods. Everyone who was damned died, and those who didn't die could only linger on as his thread lifter. Puppet, he flatters everything he says, and now his throne is completely secured, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

Although some people suggested to the emperor to open the imperial examination, some people seemed to laugh at themselves that it was superfluous. The emperor didn't need to ignore them at all, he had his own way.

At this stage, it is impossible for Xiao Ruxun to reopen the imperial examination. He only believes that his original team can help him stabilize the regime, select and dismiss officials in his own way, firmly grasp the power of personnel and choice, and will not hand over this power to Confucianism.

Many people secretly suspected that Xiao Ruxun planned to reform the Confucianism, some guessed that the emperor was a fan of the Legalists, some thought that the Emperor liked the Mohism, and some even thought that the Emperor would change the Taoism.

But no one knew exactly what Xiao Ruxun wanted to do, and his every move always made his courtiers unable to guess or understand.

There is no need for them to guess and see through, it is meaningless.

Xiao Ruxun and Zhao Shizhen inspected five or six firearms workshops together, watched the craftsmen's production, watched the production line of bird guns and the shooting test of the newly produced bird guns, as well as the newly produced light-activated flintlock guns. For the shooting test, I personally went into battle and tried to shoot a few rounds.

"Very good, the accuracy is more accurate than before, can the rifling be pulled faster than before?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at the rifling in the barrel of the gun by the light.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is true. Now our craftsmanship is much better than before, the number of skilled craftsmen is much more than before, and the materials are also sufficient. The speed of production and the rate of good products have been greatly improved, all thanks to Your Majesty. Hongfu."

Zhao Shizhen also learned to flatter.

Xiao Ruxun laughed and shook his head.

"Don't say that this is all due to me, your contribution is even greater. By the way, I plan to organize a flintlock team of 1 people in the Imperial Guard, and use light-type flintlocks. Can you Guaranteed to keep up with the needs of the army? This demand is not small at all."

The technology and output have advanced to the point where they are today, and with the previous accumulation, Xiao Ruxun has long been unable to resist the idea of ​​putting flintlocks into actual combat. A large number of bird gun teams can easily form combat effectiveness, but the accuracy It is much inferior to the light-activated flintlock.

Right now, relying on abundant funds and technology, Xiao Ruxun is no longer satisfied with the behavior of treating a fusilier as a sniper.

A 1-person fusiliers team needs at least [-] flintlocks as a guarantee. For Zhao Shizhen, the pressure is not small.

"If your majesty needs it, the whole Ministry of Military Industry will do it for your majesty even if they risk their lives!"

But Zhao Shizhen would not say that this kind of political incorrectness cannot be done. Although it is indeed difficult, this is not a reason to shirk.

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"I don't want you to work hard, I want you to improve technology, increase production, and fulfill my requirements in an easier way. This is my purpose. What good will it do me if you all die? I don't want you to die, understand? ?”

Zhao Shizhen and other senior officials of the Ministry of Military Industry quickly expressed their understanding.

With the development of the army to this day, Xiao Ruxun felt that it was time to put forward the characteristics of the era of the army. The bird gun can only be regarded as a product of the previous era, while the rifled flintlock is the product of the next era.

Xiao Ruxun has no way to equip everyone in the army with powerful weapons immediately, that is too unrealistic.

But it's just a troop, and it's just a troop that enters the next era ahead of time, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

The 15 imperial guards are a super army under the direct command of Xiao Ruxun. They gather the most elite soldiers in the whole country, and they have the task of guarding the frontier in turn every year. The combat effectiveness must also be maintained above this standard. For Xiao Ruxun, the ban Guards are not watchdogs.

He would not train the imperial guards of the Great Qin Dynasty into a waste army like that of the Zhao Song Dynasty. 80 people are like 80 pigs, spending a lot of financial budget in vain, but nothing can be done.

There are only so many imperial guards in Daqin, and the treatment is the best in the whole army. Only the most capable and powerful soldiers can enter the imperial guards. The Royal Imperial Guard must be the strongest army forever. What kind of scene should that be for a flintlock team of 1?
