Chapter 78 Give Qi Jiguang a Cannon

Qi Jiguang was stunned. Go to Guihua City? Go to the grassland?

After looking at Qi Jiguang and seeing that he was a little confused, Zhu Yijun told him about the matter, from the death of Altan Khan, to the conflict between the third lady and Huang Taiji, to the impoliteness of the imperial court to the imperial enthronement of Bu he as King Shunyi.

After listening to Zhu Yijun's narration, Qi Jiguang was shocked. Has so many things happened during this period?

"I was originally planning to send Ma Fang to this matter. After all, he has been in the northwest for many years and knows the Oirat enough." Zhu Yijun said here and sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that the New Year is not over."

"I searched all over the court and finally chose my beloved minister. Although my beloved minister's day is short, I can't wait!"

Qi Jiguang's heartbeat was getting faster at this time. To be honest, he was not so comfortable in the capital. The wars that had fought in the south and north over the years suddenly became more comfortable in the capital. Qi Jiguang didn't enjoy it so much, but felt a little uncomfortable.

I always feel that something is wrong in my body and I can't adjust it.

But now, Qi Jiguang felt that everything was right. As for the emperor asking him to go to Guihua City and fight the Oirat, Qi Jiguang was not at all stressed, but was a little excited. Although he had not been to the capital for a long time, Qi Jiguang had a thorough understanding of the combat power of Xijing Camp.

Speaking of which, Qi Jiguang still admires Ma Fang very much. The soldiers he trained were really good.

He was very energetic and energetic, and he was banned, especially the 15,000 cavalry. It was really obvious that he had put his heart into it. He was much better than his cavalry in Ji Liao. With the equipment of the Jing camp, it was really much better than Ji Liao.

"I will receive the order!" Qi Jiguang knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Get up!"

After Qi Jiguang received the order, Zhu Yijun talked with Qi Jiguang about his plans for this advance. What if Huang Taiji and the third lady start fighting, what if they don’t start fighting, and they all made their predictions.

In fact, Zhu Yijun knew that he was just trying to talk to him here.

When they really arrived in the northwest and on the battlefield, the fighter planes changed rapidly and it was impossible to fight according to their guesses. However, Zhu Yijun couldn't help it. Coupled with Qi Jiguang's deliberate flattery, the king and his minister had a happy chat.

After Qi Jiguang left, Zhu Yijun felt that he was still feeling unsatisfied.

He shook his head helplessly, and Zhu Yijun smiled. Qi Jiguang is really the case, and Zhu Yijun doesn't know how to evaluate it. In fact, when Zhu Yijun chatted with Qi Jiguang, it can be seen in many places that Qi Jiguang was pretending to be stupid or flattering himself, but it just sounds very comfortable.

"Let Chen Ju and Zhang Cheng come!" Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said.

"I'll go now!" Zhang Jing agreed, and quickly turned around and walked out.

Before Qi Jiguang sent troops, Zhu Yijun had to discuss the issue of sending troops with the cabinet. Sending troops to fight is not only a matter of sending troops, but also requires food and weapons, etc. If the logistics are not done well, and if the battle is not fought, he will be finished first.

Another thing is Chen Ju and Zhang Cheng's side, and these two people also need to explain.

Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju came very quickly. Zhang Cheng had been in the Imperial Horse Supervisor, right in the palace. As for Chen Ju, he is now spending all day in the Martial Preparation Department. The rectification of Pan Jixun’s Martial Preparation Department is now at a critical moment.

The rectification of the Wubei Department is not only a new technology, but also a system modification.

The two of them were also very busy with craftsmen, attitude towards production, responsibility system, etc. However, when the Military Preparation Department was on the right track, Zhu Yijun believed that the Ming Dynasty's ordnance would definitely go to a higher level.

When Zhang Cheng arrived first, Zhu Yijun asked him to wait aside, waiting for Chen Ju's arrival.

When Chen Ju came too, Zhu Yijun said to Chen Ju first: "Chen Ju, how many steel cannons can the Wubei Department take out?"

Although the Beijing Camp is also equipped with cannons, they are all old cannons from the past. They are not only heavy, but also have a close range and average power. They are even worse than the cannons used by Qi Jiguang in many places. Zhu Yijun didn't want Qi Jiguang to take these cannons to fight.

Since you want to fight, then fight a little bigger. In Zhu Yijun's expectation, even if you can't sweep the Oirat this time, you will still knock the Oirat down.

After defeating the Oirat, the subsequent wool textiles will be put on the agenda.

"Return to the Emperor, the Military Preparation Department has now accumulated 300 medium-sized cannons, all of which are one horse-race, with a range of up to one thousand steps."

Zhu Yijun measured one thousand steps, and one thousand steps in this era means that the range is about 1.5 meters, and one thousand steps is the range of 1,500 meters. Zhu Yijun is still very satisfied with such weight and such range.

"The small cannon cannon can be carried by one person, with a range of up to two hundred steps, mainly launching shotguns and flowering bullets."

Are there five hundred doors in total?

This was obtained by Zhu Yijun's investment of millions of taels of silver. In the early research, it cost a lot of money, and it will not be so expensive to cast in the future. However, I believe that giving these 500 cannons to Qi Jiguang can play a great role.

Qi Jiguang is famous for using cannons, and he values ​​firearms enough. When this cannon comes into his hands, it will definitely play a big role.

"Send these five hundred cannons to Qi Jiguang!" Zhu Yijun said lightly.

Although this time it emptied out its old fortune, Zhu Yijun still felt it was worth it, and this time it would definitely play a big role.

Chen Ju was stunned. Although he knew that these cannons would definitely be pulled out for use, he didn't expect that they would be so fast. At first glance, he was really reluctant to leave, but now he smiled in his heart: "I obey the order!"

"Okay, you go down and arrange it!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and asked Chen Ju to retreat.

Turning to look at Zhang Cheng, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "This time Xijing Camp is going to the northwest, you can follow it and be a military supervisor. Although it is a military supervisor in name, you mainly go and see the situation in the northwest."

"The Imperial Horse Prison has been there for a while, let's see what the results are."

When Zhang Cheng heard that he was going to the northwest, he was a little excited. He was different from Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing liked to be favored by the emperor. But Zhang Cheng liked to go outside. This time he went to the northwest, something obviously happened.

"You check the smuggling situation of Northwest military officers and check the situation of military households."

The military households have always been a tragic heart in Zhu Yijun. Now, the Ming Dynasty wars all rely on personal soldiers, and most of the military households have become tenant farmers. The food grown by the generals and the military households are undesirable to raise their own personal soldiers.

Once the northwest is pacified, this one must be cleaned up and you will first touch the situation.

"Don't worry, I understand!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed.

After arranging Zhang Cheng and Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun began to discuss with the cabinet again. Fortunately, the court has not been short of food or money in the past two years, otherwise Zhu Yijun felt that his military service would definitely be ruined.

In addition, the unstable side of the Oirat was, and the imperial court sent troops there, and the resistance to opposition was also small.

Although some people are dissatisfied with Zhu Yijun's conferment in his title of Bu, the matter has already happened, and it is appropriate to be on guard against the Oirat now.

Xijingying, Qi Jiguang's tent.

This time, 15,000 cavalry must be taken with him, but the infantry must be brought. Qi Jiguang is preparing to lead 15,000 infantry. There are more than 60,000 people in Xijing Camp, and half of them were drawn. Qi Jiguang thought it was OK.

So if you choose who you don’t choose who you want to go, you need to consider it carefully.

"Master General, Eunuch Chen from the Martial Preparation Department is here!" The personal soldiers outside walked into the commander's tent and bowed.

Qi Jiguang was stunned. Of course, he knew that in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many generals in the Wubei Department. You should know that the blood of the Armamentary Department was killed before, so the newly established Wubei Department naturally paid great attention.

In addition, when generals from various places asked for military orders, they changed from the former Ministry of War to the Governor's Office of the Five Army. They couldn't care!

Qi Jiguang didn't know what Chen Ju from the Wubei Department did to him, but he still attached great importance to it. He originally thought about going to the Wubei Department to get some good things before leaving, but now Chen Ju is here. Don't order anything, that's not his personality.

"Where are the people?" Qi Jiguang stood up directly: "I went out to greet you in person."

Qi Jiguang has no psychological burden to do such things. Compared to real benefits, it is not a big deal to lower his attitude. Qi Jiguang himself starts from reality, and things that are stupid are meaningless.

When he arrived at the gate, Qi Jiguang saw Chen Ju standing in front of him at a glance.

If this were the case in the past, Qi Jiguang would have scolded the guardians for a long time, so why didn’t he welcome them in? However, after arriving in the Jingying, Qi Jiguang knew that the military rules of the Jingying were very detailed and complicated and very strict.

For example, if you enter the camp without a commander's handwriting, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Qi Jiguang also did this kind of thing, but it was during the war. After arriving at the Beijing Camp, Qi Jiguang liked this kind of military rules very much. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that the Beijing Camp was indeed supported by the emperor, so no one had to sell his face.

Qi Jiguang began to feel the difference from one drop.

"Eunuch Chen!" Qi Jiguang smiled and clasped his fists at Chen Ju: "It's so lucky to meet you. I've heard of Eunuch Chen's name for a long time. I want to see you today. I'm really lucky. Eunuch Chen, please come in there."

Chen Ju looked at Qi Jiguang and bent down and said, "General Qi is polite. Our family can't afford to be General Qi's such a great gift."

"We have heard of General Qi for a long time. We have seen each other today. We are fortunate to be our family." Chen Juke knew that the position of General Qi in the emperor's heart was not daring to be arrogant at all.

"There is no need to go in. Today, our family is in accordance with the emperor's will."

"There is a batch of artillery in the Wubei Department. The emperor issued an order to transfer it to General Qi. The people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army were there. Our family is here to invite them to the Wubei Department with our family. After checking the artillery, we can also send the artillery to General Qi."
