Zhu Xu flipped through a few notebooks, in a good mood.
The south now needs time to digest slowly, and Bi Ziyan, as the emperor's teacher, has already gone south with Shang Fang's sword to pacify the official eunuch group.
As for the north, there have always been Jinyiwei staring closely, whether it is Jin/Zhou, Ning/Yuan, or Xi/Fengkou in Liaodong, Zhu Xu is not very worried, and he has a feeling of lightness for a while.
Not far from him, a young man in his early twenties, with a cunning face, flashing eyes, dressed in the uniform of the Royal Military Academy, looked energetic, quite a new era officer.
Zhu Xu put down the notebook, took a sip of tea, then looked at him and said, "Your name is Zheng Feihuang?"
” The young man hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Xiao's original name is Zheng Zhilong, the word Feihuang, and the nickname is Yiguan." ” Zhu Xu nodded, he had been waiting for this person for a long time, and he had been tempered in the military academy for a long time, his fingers tapped on the table, and he said with a smile: "Well, your instructor said that you have a long-term vision and are very accessible, especially when it comes to naval battles, which is quite insightful." ” Zheng Zhilong looked at Zhu Xu carefully, when he came, he was told by many people that he couldn't say what to say, and he was strictly explained.
He paused for a moment and said: "Back to the emperor, the little one has been adrift at sea for several years, and he has also done things with the red-haired people and the Francophone people, and I have seen them fight, so I know something." ” Red-haired people, red-haired ghosts generally refer to Dutch/Lanish people, and Franco-machine people generally refer to Spanish/tooth people.
Zhu Xu said with a non-serious 'um' and said, "Tell me what you think of the red-haired people and the Francois people." ” Zheng Zhilong glanced at Zhu Xu again, and there was a rare condensation on his cunning face, and said: "Your Majesty, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different, whether it is a red-haired person or a Francophone person, you are eyeing my Daming, especially the desire to occupy Taiwan/Bay three times and twice, fortunately, the emperor Shengming, plus the strong navy, did not let it succeed." ” Zhu Xu didn't care about Zheng Zhilong's sycophant at all, and said directly: "You have also seen my Ming sailor, what do you think is the difference between it and the red-haired man and the Franc man?"
” This is the key point, and the royal military court has repeatedly told you not to belittle the people and prevent the emperor from 'messing around'.
Zheng Zhilong thought for a while before he said, "Your Majesty, the red-haired man ship is strong and the firearms are fierce, and the Franc machine is slightly worse, and there are many invincibles."
Most of my Ming sailors are made of wood, not strong enough, and even if the artillery is not bad, the naval battle is not the same as 6, for now......
Self-protection is okay, but it can't compete with it yet. ” Zhu Xu looked at Zheng Zhilong's worried expression, his fingers knocked on the table, and he was silent.
He knew that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Dutch/Lanish people occupied Tai/Bay, and also had many confrontations with the Western/Banya people, but he did not know the specific details.
Zheng Zhilong worked as a translator on the Dutch/Lanish ship, and his words combined with Zhu Xu's memory should be similar.
Zhu Xu did not think about competing with the Dutch for maritime supremacy now, but at least to ensure that the sea border was stable, the sea trade was not disturbed, and at the same time, the sailors had to gradually sail away.
Zheng Zhilong stood below, cautious.
Since he was captured by the Southern Naval Division, and then Tou Cheng was sent to this royal military court, it was the first time that he had seriously seen the richness and strength of the Ming Dynasty.
On the seashore were stationed two mighty sailors, with thousands of warships. 6.
The huge projects such as water conservancy and road construction that can be seen everywhere on the city, the endless merchant ships coming and going in the canals, the capital city that is constantly lit at night, especially the martial arts arena, the sharp firearms, the soldiers and horses with strict military appearance, all of them are different from what he saw in Fu/Jian a few years ago.
He lowered his head, his face changed, and he whispered in a fly voice, "Da Ming, are you really going to ZTE?"
” "Zheng Zhilong!"
Suddenly, Zhu Xu looked up at him.
"The little ones are here!"
Some of Zheng Zhilong's habits still can't be changed, such as this verbal salutation.
Zhu Xu didn't care about this, he said in a deep voice with blazing eyes: "You study hard in the Royal Military Academy, and at the end of the year, you will be allowed to return to Fu/Jian, and when the time comes, the North and South Navy Divisions will conduct a military exercise in the Taiwan Strait, and you invite the red-haired people and the Franc machine people to come and observe!"
” Zheng Zhilong instantly understood the emperor's intention: demonstrate!
He raised his hand and said, "The little one obeys." ” Zhu Xu continued, "After that, you find the red-haired people and the Francophone people to negotiate, cooperate in trade, and jointly establish a chamber of commerce."
I will ask Xiong Wencan to send a navy to you, you take the navy and the red-haired man, and the Franc machine to take a look, especially to draw a good chart, remember the route, understand?
” Zheng Zhilong was shocked by Zhu Xu's words, and he clearly felt that behind the emperor's words, there was a huge ambition!
Zheng Zhilong's heart was pounding, he knew that his chance had come!
Poof Zheng Zhilong knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously and said: "The little one is willing to smear the emperor's liver and brain, and he is willing to break his bones for me!"
” Zhu Xu squinted his eyes and looked at Zheng Zhilong seriously, this person in history, who had defeated the Dutch/Lanish people several times, and his son directly drove the Dutch out of Taiwan/Bay, Zhu Xu had great expectations for him!
After churning in his heart for a while, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "Calm down, after you go back, you will study and train."
When the time comes, I will also send some people with you, and they will be responsible for translating the books of the Yi people, copying their firearms, warships, etc., and you will take care of me. ” Zheng Zhilong kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, if the little head is here, these adults will be fine." ” Cao Huachun frowned as he watched from the sidelines, this person's gangsterism was really difficult to like, and he was even vigilant.
Zhu Xu encouraged him, asked Zheng Zhilong to be sent away, turned his head to look at Liu Shimin and said, "Tell me about the college examination." ” Liu Shimin turned around and said, "Back to the emperor, at present, only the literary academies of the northern provinces have been built and perfected, and all provinces and provinces have literary academies, there are more prefectures and counties, and the resistance is relatively large......
The Ministry of War is still working on arrangements. ” Zhu Xu nodded and motioned for him to continue.
Liu Shimin and Cao Huachun have a division of labor, and he is responsible for relatively 'not very important'.
He glanced at Zhu Xu and said: "The examination questions of the provincial academy are extremely difficult, many people in the year of the Apocalypse, Jinshi has not been tested three times, and there are many complaints, among them, there is the son of the governor of Shan/Dong, Li Yan, he has not passed twice, and often complains in some literary meetings. ” Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved, he was also the figure that Jinyiwei focused on, and his jaw was slightly slight.
Liu Shimin saw that Zhu Xu did not speak, and said: "Shilin has a lot of discussion about the abolition of the imperial examination, and many people have gone to the scribe's department Zhou Shangshu, please reopen the imperial examination and give them a fair career path." ” Zhu Xu was not surprised by this, the thousand-year-old imperial examination, how could it be forgotten once, his fingers knocked on the table, and suddenly turned his head to look at Cao Huachun, and said, "What do you think?"
” Cao Huachun is a scholar, has a family history, and said after a little thought: "The emperor is benevolent, the academy is all over the Ming Dynasty, and there are more and more scholars, whether it is education or official career, it is more extensive, if you say that the imperial examination, once every three years, only 100 people are admitted, it seems to be fair but it is like a single-plank bridge, how many people are poor, and they have not gained a little fame for half their lives, which is really a bit cruel." ” Zhu Xu was thoughtful, the scholars objected, there was no competition on the same stage, and they always thought that there was a 'shady scene', and they were unhappy.
Now Shilin rebounded very loudly, Zhu Xu couldn't think about it too much, his heart wandered for a long time, looked at Liu Shimin and said, "That's it, you go to the Ministry of Officials for a trip, just say, in order to pick up the missing and fill the gaps, recruit talents from all over the world, and not go to the wild, and hold a imperial examination every three years, which is given to scholars who have not entered the academy, if they do well in the exam, they can be directly admitted to the Academy of Literature, and after graduation, they will be selected and appointed by the Ministry of Officials."
As for the requirements of all aspects, the officials discussed it and played it. ” It is also appropriate as a supplementary measure, Liu Shimin nodded secretly, raised his hand and said, "Obey." ” Zhu Xu watched Cao Huachun leave, and was just about to bow his head to turn over the notebook, when Sun Chengzong hurriedly ran in from outside, raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is an accident on the Hu/Guang side, there are 500 chaotic people attacking the county government, they were defeated by the county army, and they fled into Meng/Yang, and Meng/Yang sent troops to protect it, which seems to have the intention of invasion!"
” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows immediately, and his eyes flashed.
During the Wanli period, Burma/Dianbei invaded, the two sides fought and made peace for more than 50 years, and finally occupied a lot of Ming territory, but I didn't expect that I would dare to come back!
Zhu Xu is not Wanli, and now it is not the decadent Wanli Dynasty.

Zhu Xu's eyelids twitched, and he said coldly: "Send a message to Zuo Liangyu, ordering him to be the commander of Burma, commanding the garrisons of Yunnan/Nan, Hu/Guangzhou, and the governors of the two provinces must also cooperate to mobilize 200,000 stones of grain and grass and 100 cannons!"
I don't care what kind of elephant army tiger army, tell Zuo Liangyu, how much I have lost in the Ming Dynasty, I will make up for it twice as much as Burma/Dian, if I lose face, let him wash his neck!
