292 In-person inspections and arrangements for new military items

Being the Emperor of Ming Dynasty has one advantage, and he has a lot of resources. For example, the fifty eunuchs in front of him are the best masters of pinyin annotation methods, and are also the fifty eloquent people selected from the eunuchs in Nei Shutang.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at them and said kindly: "I can tell you today that when the new army is established, you will be sent to the new army. Each person will be assigned 90 new army soldiers to teach them to read. According to this method of pinyin annotation, in one to ninety, just like I show you, you can use blackboard tools..."

Hearing this, these young eunuchs were surprised and didn't know what this was. They had never heard of it before!

"In addition to teaching them to read, they should also pay attention to their thoughts and dynamics, promptly correct practices that do not conform to military discipline, and pay more attention to the fact that in addition to military discipline regulations, they should also affect the marching and war and endanger the court's words and deeds..."

These eunuchs went to the position of the new army, which was actually equivalent to the political commissar of later generations. As Emperor Chongzhen who traveled through time in later generations, it would be natural to consider the position of the political commissar of the new army. However, if you recruit scholars to do this, it would be difficult to achieve such a thing. After all, the reserve of scholars and the pride of military men in their bones made it difficult for them to integrate with the soldiers.

But these young eunuchs are different. As slaves of the emperor, they can only do whatever the emperor asks them to do. In short, the emperor is their heaven. Only when the emperor is satisfied can their future be bright. Moreover, in terms of origin, eunuchs and Qiu Ba seem to be more equal, and no one is higher than anyone else. There will never be a scholar who is superior to the bone when facing warriors.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at these young eunuchs and held their surprise in his eyes. However, he continued to explain: "In addition to not affecting the rest and training of the new army soldiers, you can also tell them more stories of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country. Regarding these, I will send you some examples when looking back."

After saying this, he paused for a while and gave these young eunuchs time to digest it, and then said: "This position is very important for the new army. I call it the political commissar, abbreviated as the political commissar. Among them, the 90 people are called the company-level political commissar, which is for the sixth rank. When the new army is trained, I will promote you to higher-level political commissar according to your performance, as the battalion-level political commissar, the regiment-level political commissar, etc., and the ranks will be improved in turn until the division-level political commissar, which is for the fourth rank."

When they heard this, the young eunuchs suddenly shone with their eyes. Although they could not understand these new terms, they were the most familiar with grade. If the emperor hadn't been here, they would have roared and cheered.

You should know that the government office where the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were located was twelve prisons, each with one eunuch, one with the fourth rank, one with the left and the right rank, one with the fourth rank, one with the left and the right rank, one with the fifth rank, one with the sixth rank, one with the sixth rank, one with the long-term follower, no fixed member of the imperial throne, and one with the sixth rank.

These young eunuchs are currently only studying in Nei Shutang, and are at the bottom of the eunuchs. Even if they are lucky, they have to be qualified and climb up step by step. Not to mention anything else, just having a grade requires luck and spending time standing out from the many eunuchs.

But now, after they arrived at the new army, they were at least from the sixth rank, and on the day the new army was completed, there were high-level eunuchs among them, equivalent to Shaojian. How could such a shortcut not make them ecstatic!

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy to see the joy on the faces of these young eunuchs. He gave them more time to be happy, and then continued: "This position as a political commissar is equivalent to the military supervisor in other troops, but it is absolutely different from the military supervisor, so I changed my name. I have already said that you can experience it. There is still one month left before the new army is formed. You should prepare first and don't let me down!"

"I obey the order!" The young eunuch immediately responded loudly, his voice a little sharp, obviously very excited.

Emperor Chongzhen did not use the method of issuing an order, but went to the Nei Shutang and informed these eunuchs of these things, which showed that he attached great importance to this matter.

Of course, in addition to this matter, he also attached great importance to other matters about the new army. This level of attention was definitely not expected by those ministers. After the Nei Shutang finished the explanation, he set up a military battle and went to patrol the armor and weapons himself.

According to the system regulations of the Ming Dynasty, armor and weapons were supervised by the Ministry of Works' military weapons bureau and the internal supervision military bureau. Moreover, the armor of the military soldiers of the capital was collected when they were used, and they had to be returned to the inner treasury after they were used. For example, if a large ceremony was held, a memorial service, a hunting, a war, etc. were to be held, the armor would be collected from the inner treasury. After these things were done, the armor would be returned to the inner treasury.

In this way, in theory, the inner treasury has enough armor storage. Once the border town is in urgent need, it can also be allocated from the capital. This is the Ming Dynasty's strict system for the management of armor.

However, since the Wanli period, the armor in the capital's inner treasury was embarrassing. For this reason, in the ninth year of Wanli, Emperor Wanli issued an order for this, reprimanding the Military Weapon Bureau and the Military War, saying that the armor they made was rough and cost nothing but money and food, and was useless and practical. He ordered the two factories to build 5,000 pairs of iron armor for military use, with a deadline of one thousand pairs of them, and a five-year period was made.

For the new army that is being formed, Emperor Chongzhen was used as a benchmark for future military reform. For this reason, first of all, this new army must be a strong army, be able to win battles and have real achievements, so that he can make a move. Therefore, he must personally inspect all the supporting facilities of the new army.

Or knowing that the new army was about to be formed, Wu Wei, the governor of the military weapon warehouse, was prepared. As soon as the emperor arrived, he immediately asked someone to extract fifty pairs of various types of armor and put them one by one in the courtyard, so that Emperor Chongzhen could see it himself.

To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen looked at these armors himself, and he couldn't tell whether the armor was good or bad. However, he was also prepared and said to a one-armed Jinyiwei Baihu who was following him: "Chen Baihu, go and see if these armors are practical against Jianlu?"

"Abide by the order!" Chen Er received the order, and did not look at the others, but went forward and squatted down, lifted it with one of his hands to weigh it, and then knocked it with his fingers to listen to his voice, or violently stepped on it, etc.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Chen Er's actions and glanced at Wu Weiting at the corner of his eyes. Seeing his expression, his heart felt cold.
