"boom……"

The sound of cannons resounding through the sky suddenly sounded in this training ground, the ground trembled slightly, and a cannon flew from the muzzle that was gushing out of the flames, and it was radiating in the air, constantly rolling forward, countless gazes,

As the trajectory of this cannon move forward.

"Bang!!"

I don’t know how long it took, but the cannon hit the ground angrily. The loud noise made, and the ground trembled and continued to pass it around.

The earth shakes.

It's really a shaking place!

‘It’s really powerful.’

Emperor Chongzhen held up a telescope and was stationed at the place where the red cannons were bombarded. Looking at the big pit formed, endured the tinnitus, and sighed in his heart:

‘If it comes to siege cities and villages, this cannon is the strongest. With such destructive power, even the walls built in the capital may not be able to withstand several shellings.

However, this type of artillery is too bulky and too large to be equipped with too many new troops, and it is enough to have one or two doors.

Otherwise, it will waste too much manpower, the pressure on logistics supply will also affect the speed of the march.’

Everyone standing beside Emperor Chongzhen had more or less smiles on their faces.

This time, the Red Barbarian cannon was successfully launched, and there was no explosion. Its power was so great that it was the artillery weapon of the Ming Dynasty.

"If it could be in front of Liao, it would be amazing if it was equipped with more than a dozen such cannons."

Liu Wenbing's expression was unconcealed and he looked at Wei Shitai and said, "That rampant Jianlu dares to invade our Ming Liao Dynasty. Just fire a round of artillery bombardment, which will definitely cause Jianlu to suffer serious losses."

"That's right."

Wei Shitai nodded and said, "When the old slave attacked Ningyuan City, our Ming army used red cannons when they defended the city, then..."

However, as he was talking, Wei Shitai closed his mouth and subconsciously looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and a little cold sweat broke out on his body. Damn, what about the battle of Ningyuan?

That battle was commanded by Yuan Chonghuan.

Zhu Chunchen stood beside him. When he heard what Wei Shitai said, a chuckled appeared on the corner of his mouth. You guy, you really dare to say anything.

Who dares to mention the matters related to Yuan Chonghuan now?

At this moment, Zhu Chunchen felt quite hopeful that the emperor could hear what Wei Shitai said.

Since Tang Guozuo and his fellow honors in Beijing were arrested and executed by Emperor Chongzhen for colluding with enemies and disturbing the court.

Zhu Chunchen's authority in the Beijing Guard Governor's Office was greatly reduced accordingly with the promotion of Liu Wenbing, Wei Shitai and others.

It’s a pity that Emperor Chongzhen didn’t know what Zhu Chunchen thought, and he didn’t even hear what Wei Shitai said.

Emperor Chongzhen, who put down his telescope, looked at the Xishan Musket Camp led by Huang Degong, and quickly cleared it. The red cannons fired showed a smile on his face.

'In the new army of Yongwei Camp, Tianxiong Army, Zhongyong Army and other troops, who will play guns and cannons in the future, it must be Xishan Musket Camp!'

Emperor Chongzhen said in his heart: "Back with his unique advantages, he is responsible for the inspection and inspection of the military preparatory institute. The guns and cannons developed, including mass-produced guns and cannons, must be rich in experience."

The military lecture hall set up by the Xishan Musket Battalion focuses on the cultivation of artillery. Just wait patiently for a few years and wait for them to improve the corresponding artillery operation process, this place will become the cradle of the Ming artillery.’

Thinking of this in his mind, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and looked at the excited officials of the Military Preparatory Academy such as Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Deng Yuhan, and Johnson Tang.

"The red cannons produced by the Martial Arts Institute are much more powerful than before. You have made contributions this time."

Facing countless eyes, Emperor Chongzhen said, "All rewards should be done according to the military court. If you should reward silver, you should give land.

However, the military preparatory institute must continue to work hard, avoid arrogance and impetuousness, and achieve more results like today, especially in the matter of firearms, which I attach great importance to.”

Compared with large and bulky artillery, if corresponding results can be achieved in the field of firearms, it can be mass-produced and equipped on a large scale.

Flintlock rifle.

Rifled flintlock rifle.

Breakback flintlock rifle.

If he could conquer one by one and develop it one by one, Emperor Chongzhen could even imagine what amazing combat power the Ming army on the battlefield would burst out.

However, the development of firearms cannot be broken through in a hurry. The current military preparation institute is still in the exploration stage, and there will be a lot of money to spend during this period.

The military weapons and military battles led by the Military Preparation Institute, and the factories involved in the production of muskets, mainly produce Lumi guns and bird guns.

Zhou Yuji led the Yongwei camp.

The Four Guards and Camp under the rule of Shanxi.

Among the logistics support provided, the supply of muskets involving Lumi guns and bird guns comes from the military industry built in Xishan.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

After Song Yingxing and the others thanked him, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and said, "Today, I have some ideas in my mind.

In our Ming army, many artillery were installed, such as tiger squat cannons, hundred-screw pearl cannons, divine power cannons, flying cloud thunder cannons, etc.

I don’t know what you guys think.

I always feel that so many artillery is too messy. During the military campaign, it undoubtedly added a lot of difficulties to ensure logistics supply."

Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu and the others' smiles disappeared, replaced by solemnity and contemplation.

They did not think too much about what the emperor said before.

Or I thought about it, but I didn’t involve it too much.

But after listening to what the emperor said, they also realized this problem.

"Also, I think in the field of artillery, can we classify it?" Emperor Chongzhen continued to say, looking at Song Yingxing and the others.

"For example, based on the tiger squat cannon, the standards for light cannons are set.

Based on the Shenwei cannon, the standards for medium-sized artillery are set.

Based on this gun from the inspection and calibration, the standards for heavy artillery are set.

Under these standards, you guys collected different artillery, discussed it a lot, sorted out and developed various types of artillery that could significantly improve in terms of range or power?

This is not an easy thing, nor can it be done well in a short period of time.

Of course, this is just some of my ideas. What should I do, what standards should I set, and how to mass-produce them from the actual situation are things that I need to make a decision."

When dealing with areas that he does not understand, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude is clear, respecting the opinions of corresponding talents, and giving him the support he can, including money, power, etc.

After all, I am obviously an outsider, but I am randomly directing me, and the impact caused by that will only be the development of this field.

Emperor Chongzhen's words, Song Yingxing and others, were all in deep thought, as if they pointed out what they had not thought too much before.

Whether it is the development of artillery or firearms, it must be based on the needs of the battlefield, and everything is based on actual combat.
