Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

The emissary not only brought a secret letter from the emperor, but also a box of stuff, which contained a Ming Dynasty version of a monocular telescope produced by the royal factory.

In 1622, the German missionary Tang Ruowang brought a telescope to the Ming Dynasty, letting the people of Ming Dynasty know the existence of telescopes. Now, Ming Dynasty can also produce its own telescopes. Sun Chuanting couldn't put it down and played with the monocular telescope engraved with his name. He was so excited that he could not speak coherently.

This is a good thing. Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and Ming Dynasty will return to its former glory...

When the Royal Glass Factory was able to mass-produce various glass objects, the simplest monocular telescopes could already be mass-produced. However, Zhu Youjian only asked the emissary to bring ten monocular telescopes to Sun Chuanting.

The reason is very simple. The Ming army suffered repeated defeats. Not only did they lose a large number of soldiers, they also lost countless weapons, equipment, grain, grass and other military supplies, which cost the entire transportation team captain.

Furthermore, when his new army is fully trained and performs impressive feats on the battlefield, shocking the world, that is when the old army will be eliminated and withdraw from the military stage.

Even a famous general like Sun Chuanting would have no choice but to retire early and fade out of the military arena if he could not accept, learn and master new military knowledge such as hot weapons tactics.

Instead of doing this, it is better to accumulate the produced monocular telescopes and equip them in large quantities when several new armies are trained. Perhaps it can increase the combat effectiveness by 15%.

However, in order to win over people's hearts, Zhu Youjian still put a little thought into it. The barrel of the monocular telescope is still made of fine wood. It is soaked in tung oil after polishing. After drying, the barrel is smooth and shiny, which not only looks antique, but also Shows high-end luxury.

He also invited famous engravers to carve exquisite cloud patterns and the owner's name on the barrel, and to carve the royal flying dragon totem below the name, making the ten telescopes he gave him more precious and earning Sun Chuanting enough. The gratitude and loyalty of others.

The most excited person was Gao Jie, the newly appointed Chief Military Officer of Shaanxi Province. His monocular telescope was a little different from the other nine telescopes, that is, it had the four engravings of Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism in the air. It was said that it was inscribed by the Emperor himself.

This is an honor and favor that makes people envious, envious, and hateful. Could Gao Jie not be so moved that his eyes filled with tears, he kowtowed three times in gratitude in the direction of the imperial capital?

No matter how stupid he is, he knows that as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, performs well and makes great achievements, it will only be a matter of time before he is promoted to the Governor of the Patrol. He might even be able to climb up to the position of Governor. It is Guangzong Yaozu.

Your Majesty, I will serve you to the death and chop off Li Zicheng's dog's head! Gao Jie clenched his fists and raised his head and swore to the sky.

Zhu Youjian spent a little time and thought, just to win over people's hearts. He didn't know that such a small favor would make Gao Jie, a fierce man who dared to abduct his sister-in-law, be so moved that he would fight to the death and forcefully force himself in the battle with Li Zicheng. Inspired by his example, the Shaanxi soldiers also burst out with amazing fighting power, and once defeated Li Zicheng's rebel army, losing their armor and defeating them.

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

Ruan Dacheng, the Second Assistant to the Cabinet, stood with his hands lowered and listened to Zhu Youjian's reprimand with a respectful expression. However, the slightly raised corners of his lips could not conceal his inner joy and pride.

This morning, officials headed by the Donglin Party jointly submitted a letter demanding an increase in various expenditures, including military expenditures. Ruan Dacheng, a leader in the Jiangnan literary circle, stood up and firmly opposed it.

Both sides had their own arguments and arguments, and the argument turned into a war of words, which turned the solemn Jin Luan into a mess like a wet market. Not to mention, at the end of the fight, Ruan Dacheng actually rolled up his sleeves and twitched. The slap in the ear of a Donglin Party official turned half of his face into a pig's head.

Also because Ruan Dacheng took action in court, all Donglin Party officials were angry and attacked. Although there were many officials from the Jiangnan faction, they were still weak compared to the Donglin Party. If they really wanted to fight, Jiangnan would Pai must have been beaten to a pulp, miserable.

Zhu Youjian had no choice but to stand up and stop him. The court severely reprimanded Ruan Dacheng. After the court dispersed, they even kept him here and continued to reprimand him.
