When Emperor Chongzhen returned to the palace, he was somewhat disappointed when he remembered the artillery battalion soldiers that Man Gui had selected for him. The artillery base of those non-commissioned officers is basically not much more than that of ordinary people. If you find some soldiers and teach them for a few days, it is estimated that they will be more powerful than the original artillery.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's approach, except for a few soldiers who were more attentive in artillery skills, the selection of other artillery pawns did not consider whether they had operated artillery before, but directly assessed and selected from the aspect of astuteness.

The reason why there is such a result, he also thought of it. As far as the original Beijing camp is concerned, such a thing as artillery live-fire training is almost a rare thing once in 800 years. Even a considerable number of people, although they belong to the Beijing battalion artillery soldiers, but in fact, they have not let go of a single shot.

The reasons are, first, that there is no gunpowder resources; The second is that artillery has a lifespan, and after how many guns are fired, it will be scrapped, and it cannot afford to lose this money; Third, a lot of artillery is not up to standard at all, and if it is necessary to train with live ammunition, it will explode if it is not done well, and the practice of damaging troops and materials is too cost-effective; Fourth, there is no budget at all, how much does it cost to train once, and what do you do with it!

As for the artillery battalion of the new army, Emperor Chongzhen, as a person who traveled through later generations, naturally understood the importance of training, and therefore, in order to ensure the training of the new army as much as possible, he had to limit the size of the new army.

It is precisely because of the shortage of materials and insufficient funds that Emperor Chongzhen did not train a new army with all firearms at the beginning, in that case, I don't know how much it will cost to train alone. As for the so-called three-month recruit training, they can pick up firearms and line up to be shot, hehe, try it against the Jianyu in the current period, and definitely beat those firearms parties to the point that they can't find the north.

In the final analysis, the essence of war is a comprehensive contest in all aspects. As long as firearms do not make a great leap forward to the point of transcending epochs, weapons will never be a decisive force. On the battlefield, it is still people who decide the outcome of the battle!

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and his thoughts quickly focused on the Weapons Bureau and the War Bureau. Bi Maokang, who was recommended by Nan Juyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he saw it yesterday, and he felt that he was talking endlessly about firearms, and he seemed to have a lot of opinions, so he asked him to toss the Ordnance Bureau first. On the side of the War Bureau, it was still the eunuch's palm seal, so according to his wishes, the reorganization was carried out first, and the principled guiding strategy was to improve the artillery. Wait for them to re-toss the structure first, and then go and inspect it themselves.

After Emperor Chongzhen thought about things for a while, he habitually entered the chat group to check the messages. When he swept past the members of the chat group and saw Wu Ergou's name, he remembered what he had thought of before, and it was time to arrange for him.

The original idea was to let him go to Guan Ningjun, and then reveal some fake news to Haoge in the chat group. However, judging from his situation with Hauge, it seems that this path is not very good.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about Wu Ergou's arrangement, and it was naturally impossible to think about what could be borrowed in the future. Not to mention, it didn't take long for his eyes to light up, and he thought of a good arrangement.

So, he immediately summoned Liu Xingzuo, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, to meet him, and it was good for him to do this matter.

Besides, Wu Ergou himself, since he was caught, has been locked up in prison, originally resigned to his fate, thinking about a scar at the mouth of the bowl, and eighteen years later, he is a good man. Unexpectedly, the leader of the Axe Gang who was arrested together, as well as other gang members, were escorted to Yongping, and it was said that they were serving death service. But he himself has been locked up there, as if forgotten.

At first, he was still thinking about it, could it be the person behind the helper to protect them? But think about the helper, they are all in trouble, and this is not what it looks like to protect them? Is it to kill people and kill people, but why do you still keep yourself in a state of limbo?

Wu Ergou wanted to break his head, but he couldn't figure it out. Later, he got used to this forgotten situation, anyway, there was a chat group in his mind, and when he was idle, he started to scare Hauge, or chat with others, which was not very boring.

On this day, he was bragging about his martial arts to Zhang Dingguo in the chat group, and when he had killed a few Jianguo in Liaodong, he only heard the chain rattling at the door of the cell, which woke him up from the chat group to reality.

The dark dungeon can still be seen clearly. But when he looked at it, he was stunned. On the side of the prison of the Criminal Department, why did two Jinyi guard lieutenants come in?

Before he could figure it out, the two brocade-clothed lieutenants didn't speak, and they picked him up and walked out.

"Hehe, do you want to send your uncle on the road?" Wu Ergou was almost dragged away, the shackles on his feet slid on the ground and made a metallic collision sound, while he himself raised his voice and seemed to be still smiling and saying, "What about the guillotine wine, your grandfather hasn't drunk it for a long time, how about it taste!" ”

The two brocade guards ignored him, which made him a little bored. Suddenly, Wu Ergou found that something seemed to be wrong, what about the original guard, why can't he see it, where did he go?

As he thought about it, he was taken to a room on the outside of the cell. The two lieutenants put him down, bowed to one of the men sitting at the table, and then took the hilt of their swords and turned to stand at the door, as if to be on guard.

Wu Ergou stood up, and the first thing he saw was that there was really wine and food on the table. Smelling the aroma, my stomach growled.

He resisted the temptation, looked away, and saw the person sitting facing him at the table, a middle-aged man, although he was wearing civilian clothes, he was very imposing, and he could see that he should be a person of status.

At this time, Wu Ergou didn't care who this person was, he stood up and walked over, no matter how dirty his hands were, he grabbed the meat with one hand and the wine jug with the other, stuffed his mouth with wine and meat, and ate and drank nonsense for a moment.

The strange thing is that the middle-aged man in plainclothes didn't scold, didn't even speak, as if he didn't exist, and let Wu Ergou eat and drink indiscriminately.

After a long while, after relieving the gluttonous worm, Wu Ergou finally couldn't resist the strange atmosphere, and also sat at the table, staring at the man a little strangely: "Who is Your Excellency?" Don't hide anything! ”

The man didn't speak, but just took out a waist card and showed it to him.

Wu Ergou benefited from the new function of the chat group, basically all the Chinese characters were recognized, and he was taken aback at a glance. He was a little unconvinced, and after confirming it, he looked at the middle-aged man's face with some disbelief.

"What do you want me to do?" Wu Ergou is also a bachelor, knowing that he must have something to do by himself, otherwise it is impossible to see him, and there is no need to put on this kind of formation.
