Chapter 657 The Old Man's Test ([-])

This is a test, but it's hard to guess what the old man is going to test. Is it a test of military ability, a test of public opinion, or a test of decision-making ability?It's hard to say, at least for a while, Hong Qing couldn't see through the old man's true intentions in transferring such a copy, but there was one thing Hong Qing knew, that is, this matter must not be delayed, and an answer must be given as soon as possible. Clear answer!

It doesn't matter, it's dead or alive!
Hong Qing thought about it for a while, but she couldn't figure out what the old man's intention was. She simply didn't bother to add more mushrooms. She gritted her teeth, reached out and picked up the Langhao pen on the pen holder, and started to write quickly with a swish of the pen. In a short while, the abbreviation has been written out, the number of words is not many, but the meaning is already expressed very clearly, and the core is one-agree to the old fourteen's request for troop transfer.

"God, send this playbook to Ruijingxuan immediately."

As soon as the abbreviation was finished, Hong Qing casually put down her pen, waved her hand, and called Zhang Zhao, who was waiting by her side, over, and said in a calm voice.

"twitter!"

Zhang Zhao, courtesy name Detian, was born as a Jinshi in the 48th year of Kangxi. He has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child. He was a Jinshi in high school at the age of 19, ranking second in the second class. Walking, although there is no explicit regulation, basically serves Hong Qing alone, which is equivalent to the role of personal secretary. Hearing Hong Qing's order at this time, Zhang Zhao didn't dare to neglect it, and hurriedly responded, He took the booklet with both hands, bowed and saluted, and hurried towards Ruijingxuan.

"Ah."

Although Ma Qi was immersed in the official documents, his mind was obviously on Hongqing's side, nothing else, probably because the old fourteen's paperwork was too involved and too sensitive, although Ma Qi didn't want to Touching hands, but it is absolutely impossible not to care. Hearing Hong Qing's words at this moment, curiosity inevitably aroused. , smiled at Hong Qing, and then buried her head in the pile of official documents.

"Ah."

Seeing Ma Qi's face full of curiosity and trying not to ask, Hong Qing couldn't help being amused, but she didn't intend to satisfy Ma Qi's curiosity, so she just smiled lightly With a smile, he also buried his head in the pile of official documents, writing the abbreviation quickly with a pen.

"His Majesty ordered, Xuan, Renjun Wang Hongqing, Rui Jingxuan will see you."

Zhang Zhao went for more than half an hour and didn't come back, but Qin Wuyong rushed over with two young eunuchs and announced the old man's summons.

"The grandson kowtowed to Huang Mafa."

Since the old man was summoned, Hong Qing dared not delay a little bit, after receiving the order to thank her, she was accompanied by Qin Wuyong and rushed to the Ruijingxuan not far away, just now she turned around from behind the screen and saw The old man was sitting behind the copywriter in casual clothes, while Zhang Zhao was standing by the side with a reddish complexion, his face was full of embarrassment, it was obvious that he had just been confused by the old man's exam, Hong Qing's heart immediately moved, However, he didn't dare to delay any longer, he rushed forward, paying homage respectfully and paying homage.

"Well, just be flat."

The old man raised his hand and yelled very warmly.

"Thank you, Mafallon, my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Hong Qing respectfully and meticulously thanked her in accordance with the court rules, and then stood up, bowing slightly, showing a well-behaved appearance of respectfully listening to instructions.

"The abbreviation, I have read it, and the writing is acceptable, but there are a few places that are not clear. I want to hear your detailed description, so let's just talk about it."

The old man was obviously very satisfied with Hong Qing's respectful performance, but he didn't express anything. He just nodded his head approvingly, and went straight to the point.

"Yes, grandson complies."

As soon as the old man said this, Hong Qing didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed to agree, and then quickly organized the words, and said unhurriedly: "Huang Ma Fa Mingjian, the leader of Xijiang There are many deserts and few fortified cities, and there are many battles in the wild. We are numerous and the enemy is few. The enemy's strategy is guerrilla warfare, which delays the advance of our army. Only when our army goes deep into the hinterland of Junggar can we force the enemy into a decisive battle. At that time, our artillery will really make great achievements. The difference is small, that's why my grandson thinks that Fourteenth Uncle's proposal should be feasible."

"Well, what about the Artillery Command Academy?"

The old man has fought many vicious battles, and he is very familiar with the way of military strategy. He knew that what Hong Qing said was true, and he was very satisfied in his heart, but he did not comment on it. He asked another question in a lively manner.

"Returning to Huang Mafa, since the Eastern Expedition to the present, the manufacturing warehouse of the Ministry of Industry has worked hard, and has produced more than ten types of cannons of various types. No matter the range or accuracy, it is no longer comparable to the past. However, the operation is already. It is relatively complicated. Without relevant training, it is really difficult to display the sharpness of artillery fire. Moreover, artillery tactics are very different from the past. In order to strengthen the army, a relevant training system must be established. Today, if the artillery brigade of Fengtai Daying is transferred Going to the west front, the capital's defense force is not enough, and it is necessary to train new troops. Therefore, Sun Er thought that it would be better to take this opportunity to build an artillery academy for the training of artillery officers and soldiers at all levels. The armaments in various parts of my Qing Dynasty may be updated one by one, and this grandson’s humble opinion, I ask Huang Mafa to make a clear judgment."

Hong Qing had long wanted to put the military academy on the stage of the Qing Dynasty. Two years ago, he even made a huge concession to the Fourteenth Lord, just thinking that he could use this to improve the military system of the Qing Dynasty and think that the future war with Western powers Be prepared, there is nothing else. With the existence of huge trade surpluses over the years, the Western powers will one day attack the Qing Dynasty. If they do not prepare early, they will inevitably be worrisome. Once the war is defeated, the tragedy of time and space in the previous life It is inevitable that it will happen again, and this is naturally not the situation that Hong Qing wants to see, and it is precisely because of this that Hong Qing will continue to think of ways to bring the matter of the military academy to the fore. , Hong Qing was happy to explain in detail.

"In this way, you are not very optimistic about the prospects of the old fourteenth's expedition this time?"

The old man still didn't comment on what Hong Qing said, but just nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a while, and asked an extremely sensitive question.

"Huang Mafa misunderstood, and my grandson didn't mean it. From my grandson's point of view, my Qing Dynasty's expedition this time is a game that must win. However, unless the Junggar tribe makes a big mistake, my Qing Dynasty wants to win quickly. It is really difficult, the war may be delayed for several years, and we must also guard against the evil neighbors in the north taking advantage of the situation to create chaos, and it is safer to advance slowly than to attack quickly."

No one in the world knows better than Hong Qing how to judge the prospect of this Western Expedition, because Hong Qing knows very well that the old fourteen has no intention of winning quickly, at least in the case of the old man returning home. Before the sea, the old fourteen would definitely not end this war, if not, what would he use to compete for the throne with the elder brothers? Of course, he knew it in his heart, but Hong Qing would never say it out loud. However, Hong Qing couldn't be troubled by this. After analyzing a few sentences, he explained the prospect of this battle from a strategic point of view.

"Hmm... In Er's opinion, who should preside over the Artillery Command Academy?"

The old man is obviously not very satisfied with Hong Qing's conclusion, nothing else, for this Western Expedition, the old man almost gave the old fourteen anything he asked for, except for the transfer of the new army, he really wanted it. When people give people and ask for money to give money, isn’t what they are looking for quick and big?But when it came to Hong Qing, there was little hope, which made the old man very upset. The problem was that Hong Qing's analysis was well-founded, and the old man couldn't find any reason to refute it for a while, so he just It may be that he let out a sigh of relief, so he changed the subject.

"Imperial Ma Fa Mingjian, my grandson thought that only Thirteenth Uncle could do it!"

Others don't know the meaning of the military academy, but Hongqing knows it well. It is the cradle for cultivating direct descendants. If it is possible, Hongqing really wants to be the principal by himself, but unfortunately he doesn't have such a Chances are, even if the third master ascends the throne, the principal's throne will definitely not be on his head. There is no one else. At present, not many people can see the importance of military academies, but as time goes by, Especially with the gradual deepening of the military reform, more and more people will see something wrong with it. As far as Hong Qing's sensitive identity is concerned, no matter whether it is the old man or the third master, I am afraid that they will not agree with Hong Qing to control the military academy Because of this, even though he coveted the power of the Artillery Command Academy, Hongqing pushed Thirteen Lord out without hesitation.

"Well, I get it, let's go and get busy first."

The old man glanced at Hong Qing flickeringly, but he still didn't give a reply, and he didn't comment on all the matters that Hong Qing said earlier, he just made a noncommittal noncommittal, and immediately gave the order to evict the guest.

"Yes, my grandson will leave."

Hong Qing obviously didn't expect the matter to end like this, she really couldn't figure out the direction of the old man's holy intention for a while, she couldn't help being stunned, but since the old man opened his golden mouth, Hong Qing didn't dare to delay at all , so he could only bow and salute suspiciously, and then quit Ruijingxuan.

What does the old man mean?

The interview is over, but Hong Qing is full of confusion, nothing else, he can already confirm that the old man is indeed playing a trick of the test, the problem is that the exam is over, and Hong Qing still doesn't understand the old man What exactly do you want to take the exam? You must know that this is not the first time that Hong Qing has played it right alone. In the past, whenever there was a discussion, whether it was successful or not, the old man would give clear instructions, but this time it is good. Heaps of questions, but no comment at all, really made Hongqing a little confused...
