Emperor Chongzhen did not want to be too distracted by the disputes that arose in the temple. Whether it was political intrigues or endless party squabbles, he could not kill them with just a few words.

Ever since the struggle over the country's origins in the Wanli Dynasty, the party struggle has become increasingly fierce and has penetrated into every inch of the Ming Dynasty.

The human heart is, after all, the hardest thing in the world to see through and guess.

Wherever your butt sits represents what you want to say. The struggle between imperial power and ministerial power will be revealed and break out everywhere.

What Emperor Chongzhen is currently concerned about is the advancement of the Liaodong War. Liu Xingzuo led the Dongjiang Army to participate in the war and actively opened up a second battlefield in southern Liaoning, which also announced that the Liaodong War has entered a new stage.

When it comes to military guidance on the frontline battlefield, Emperor Chongzhen, who is thousands of miles away, can do very little.

After all, the battle situation on the frontline changes rapidly. Without knowing these changes, hastily issuing so-called military orders to restrain the generals fighting on the frontline will only be counterproductive.

Emperor Chongzhen would never do such things as micro-management and command.

Xishan.

"My dear friends, the current situation in Liaodong is turbulent, and the demand for various types of firearms, gunpowder products, ordnance, etc., will surely continue to increase as time goes by."

Surrounded by everyone, Emperor Chongzhen looked serious and said as he walked: "The military industry under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces Academy must ensure the quality of each product while ensuring output.

This is a red line and there must be no mistakes.

I know you are under a lot of pressure, but the soldiers fighting on the front line are at risk of being killed, so we must help them arm themselves."

Jiao Xu, Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang, and Wang Zheng, all the heroes of the Armed Forces Academy, all had serious expressions on their faces. They all knew what kind of battle conditions Liaodong was going through.

Since the war started in Liaodong, Emperor Chongzhen would send Wang Chengen, Fang Zhenghua and other confidant eunuchs to brief Jiao Xu, Song Yingxing and other high-level officials of the Armed Forces Academy to urge them to produce more.

Currently, many large-scale chemical factories are being built around the Xishan area, especially the military industry, which is developing rapidly. After all, the demand for firearms, artillery, ordnance, armor, etc. is too high.

The armies fighting in Shanxi and Liaodong, and the armies defending the capital, the armies actually controlled by Emperor Chongzhen alone were extremely large.

The key to promoting industrial development is demand!

Arriving at a production workshop, Song Yingxing stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty, these are the several types of wooden lathes that our Armed Forces Academy concentrated its efforts to develop in compliance with Your Majesty's decree some time ago.

Based on the needs of different productions, these wooden lathes produced will be assigned to different industrial lines and participate in actual production.

As long as the Armed Forces Academy is given some more time, I can assure you that the output of various military industries under your jurisdiction will be greatly increased."

Song Yingxing's words echoed in his ears. Emperor Chongzhen's sharp eyes were staring at the wooden lathes in front of him that had not yet been assembled. Many craftsmen stood aside nervously.

The wooden lathes placed in front of us look so bulky and crude. If they were placed in future generations, they would not even be called defective products, but could only be called junk.

But for the current Ming Dynasty, it represents the most critical step towards standardized production.

No matter what you do, it is often difficult to get started. After all, the Ming Dynasty did not have these things before, and Song Yingxing and others had to figure everything out.

When Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, and Bi Maokang saw their emperor standing silently, they all inevitably became nervous in their hearts.

In order to develop these wooden lathes, the Military Academy spent a lot of money.

Every component has been carefully considered and tested repeatedly, including the clarification of various dimensions, different specifications of tools, classification of different tools, different specifications of sand trays, etc. After each test, the money is like running water.

"I will not only give you time, but I will also give you money."

When everyone was nervous, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and said: "I only have a superficial understanding of the many fields that the Armed Forces Academy is involved in. The key lies with you.

A layman watches the excitement, an expert watches the door.

I don't know exactly how to study it.

But I hope that everyone at the Armed Forces Academy can uphold a pragmatic attitude and patiently engage in the fields they are involved in.

Whether the Ming Dynasty can change and revive in the future, in a sense, depends on how many new things your Armed Forces Academy can develop."

"I respectfully obey the order!"

Song Yingxing, Jiao Xu, Bi Maokang and others all bowed in response.

When it comes to exploration and development in the field of science and technology, there are no shortcuts to learn from, only continuous research and constant making money.

What Emperor Chongzhen could do was to tell the little bits and pieces of what he knew to the heroes of the Ming Dynasty, such as Song Yingxing and Jiao Xu, and let them gather together and engage in various researches without distraction.

I discussed with the Western missionaries and had as many collisions as possible.

In addition, Emperor Chongzhen kept digging out money to prevent the Armed Forces Academy from lacking money support and being forced into a stagnant state.

Once the field of study of the Armed Forces Academy has been completed, it cannot be abandoned halfway, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen will suffer a big loss, and all the money invested in the early stage will be wasted.

"How is the development of the rifling machine going?"

Coming out of the workshop, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Bi Maokang and asked: "According to military reports from Yongwei Camp, Shenji Camp and other places, the flintlock muskets distributed have achieved good results on the battlefield.

However, in my opinion, the flintlock gun is just the beginning. The rifled flintlock gun I am talking about will bring new breakthroughs and changes to firearms, including changes in ammunition."

"minister……"

Bi Maokang's brows showed a bit of depression, he raised his hands and apologized: "I haven't been able to study it thoroughly yet. The issue of carving rifling is too difficult and there are too many difficulties that need to be overcome.

Even if it is carved by hand, the number of defective products is still high, Omi..."

"Okay, let's eat the rice one bite at a time."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he smiled and comforted: "I know how difficult it is to do what the Qing family has done. It's okay. Take your time. I'm confident that the Qing family will be able to do it well."

In a sense, the achievements Xishan has achieved at this stage are due to Emperor Chongzhen piling up money. Once the supply of money is lost, many fields involved will surely fall into a stagnant situation.

.

But so what?

If you want to make the Ming Dynasty realize changes, there is no way to go if you don't take this road. Even if there is a money problem, Emperor Chongzhen will try his best to solve it instead of cutting off the areas that the Armed Forces Academy is involved in.
