Qianqing Palace.Zhu Youxiao had just seen the gift that Chen Xin had given him at this time.Among these gifts, the glass mirror that Chen Xin said can see far away is naturally a telescope.The telescope was invented in the 36th year of Wanli.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised that Chen Xinneng donated the telescope.Moreover, Zhu Youxiao is actually very happy to get this thing in his heart.Because, Zhu Youxiao knew that as long as he issued an order to promote this thing, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the military, navigation, and astronomy of the Ming Dynasty.Of course, Zhu Youxiao also likes the turtledove-like fire gun offered by Chen Xin.Because Zhu Youxiao also knew that this turtledove was the best firearm of this era.Historically, the appearance of turtledoves is recorded in the eighth year of Chongzhen, when Xiong Wencan, the governor of Liangguang, purchased 100 turtledoves from Westerners and sent them to Beijing.And now that Zhu Youxiao can get this thing in advance, it is naturally a good thing."
Your Majesty, this gun weighs twenty-six pounds, is five feet five inches long, the outer mouth is one inch and three minutes wide, the inner mouth is six points wide, the medicine is one or two or three dollars, and the lead is one or two and a half dollars, and it can shoot three hundred steps away, and one hundred steps can throw wooden planks and light armor!
Undoubtedly, it is more powerful than a bird's gun, and the minister thought that you must like this kind of big guy, so he brought it into Beijing!
”Chen Xin carefully introduced the things at the request of Zhu Youxiao.Xu Guangqi, who was ordered to enter the palace again to report on the recruitment of martial arts students, was very surprised after listening to it: "Can you really penetrate the wooden board?"
”As he spoke, Xu Guangqi arched his hand towards Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty!
As far as the minister knows, when the Dongyu was fighting, he put the shield car in front of the formation to block our firearms, if this sharp weapon is really so powerful, it can undoubtedly break its shield car array!
”Zhu Youxiao said to Xu Guangqi: "Then try it, this gun will be handed over to you first, you take this gun to the school field in Xiyuan to test shoot this gun, and let the veterans also take a look, comment on this gun, if you can really break the Dongyu shield car, immediately send someone to the south to buy this gun, and at the same time someone to develop this thing!"
”"Yes!"
Xu Guangqi replied, and took the turtledove from Zhu Youxiao's hand.Next, Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Xin now: "I like the things you offer very much, and they are all things that are beneficial to the country, it can be seen that you are very good at capturing foreign weapons for my use in China, I decided to promote you to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and set up the Nanyang Town Fu Division, you first served as the Nanyang Town Fu Envoy, and was responsible for purchasing treasures from the South Seas and finding out the news from the South Seas and the piracy and maritime trade. ”Zhu Youxiao's sudden establishment of a Nanyang Zhenfu Division was naturally not as simple as asking Chen Xin to buy Western goods for himself, but deliberately preparing for the future of Nanyang and even dominating the sea.Chen Xin didn't expect that he would be promoted to the rank of official because he gave His Majesty some gifts, and he was in charge of a new yamen.But Chen Xin found that the new yamen that the Son of Heaven gave him and what he wanted to do was indeed what he was good at and liked, so he excitedly hurriedly made a big salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
”Then, Zhu Youxiao instructed Chen Xin again: "Westerners are good at firearms, so in addition to purchasing prices, as for people, you should find a way to hire some experienced Western craftsmen for me!"
The more the merrier!
”Chen Xin nodded yes.Xu Guangqi saw that the Son of Heaven wanted Chen Xin to purchase Western firearms and hire Western craftsmen, which was also in line with his heart, so he also smiled, thinking that although the son of heaven is deep in the court, he seems to have a lot of vision, and he has the mind to accept all rivers and rivers, and the Ming Dynasty may really be expected to create a prosperous era in the future.Therefore, Xu Guangqi reported to Zhu Youxiao more energetically: "Your Majesty, at present, the recommended list of the first phase of the martial arts hall students has been drawn up, please take a look, in addition to the young generals who are now famous in the army, such as Ma, You, Yu, Qi, Liu, etc., are some martial artists who were born in the army but have won the Dongyu and made meritorious contributions!"
”Zhu Youxiao then took the roster and looked at it carefully, and saw that Xu Guangqi did not use the Liaodi generals of Li Chengliang's lineage, so he nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The number of students is not very large, but there is no way, now most of the good fighters are generals, let's just these people first, it's a big deal to train less in the early stage." ”And the reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't want to use the disciples of Liaodi generals was naturally that he had long known that the Liaodi military town and Jianyu had never been as simple as the relationship between the enemy and us on the surface.Because Jianyu can become bigger, in fact, it is the Liaodi Military Town, that is, Li Chengliang's family is raising Kou's self-respect, and finally raising Jianyu is getting bigger and bigger.Even later, the military town of Liaodi became the foundation of the Eight Banners of the Han Army of the Later Jin Dynasty, and also became the decisive force for the Later Jin Dynasty to dominate China.In fact, the current Liaodi military town is already very difficult to control, and by the time of Zu Dashou, he has already listened to the tune and not listened to the announcement.What's more, now the military town of Liaodi is still at odds with the Donglin Party, which represents the interests of the gentry in Jiangnan.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao naturally can't trust the Liaodi generals, and he wants to train the troops in person in order to be able to control the Liaodi military town that began to be disobedient in the future.The conversation turned back.Xu Guangqi saw that Zhu Youxiao said that there were few people to choose from, so he simply dared to say: "What Your Majesty said is that in the opinion of the ministers, I don't know if it is possible to let the scribes enter the martial arts hall to study!"
Since ancient times, there have been many scribes who are both civil and military, such as Xin Qiji, Yu Qian and other generations, the minister has known that now there is a man named Lu Xiangsheng who is very good at riding and archery among the scholars in Beijing, as well as Yuan Keli, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple in Beijing, and Sun Chuanting, who is the governor of the county outside, are all soldiers who know the soldiers, and the ministers have many private messages with them, so they know that they have a lot of good words about the world's military affairs, if they have to wait for their position and supervision to make them take charge of military affairs, it is too late!
”Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Yuan Keli, Zhu Youxiao also knew about them, and he had already written them into his list of things to be reused in the future.However, Zhu Youxiao didn't think of where to put them now, and he also wanted to let them continue to be in the place first, but now that Zhu Youxiao heard Xu Guangqi mention these two people, he felt that he could indeed let these people put pen to paper.To be precise, it is to carry a pen from Rong."
Nowadays, there is an imbalance between civil and military, and people in the world value literature and suppress martial arts, these people may not be willing to join the army, but they can also try, pass on the decree to the cabinet, and intend to be in the Ministry of Rites and Officials, and encourage civil servants and scholars to carry a pen from Rong, for the future governor of the Jingluo and even the choice of the middle hall, all officials and scholars who are willing to carry a pen from Rong, retain the civil official body and fame, once the student or above is admitted or elected to the martial arts hall, after graduation, he can be directly given the Jinshi birth and award the official without going through the township examination!"
Zhu Youxiao said: "The first phase is directly selected because it is to be opened in time and there is no need for too many students for the time being, and the examination system will be adopted in the subsequent periods, and all people will be allowed to apply for the examination, regardless of their background, only their character!"
”"Yes!
The minister will do it. ”After Xu Guangqi replied, he retired from Zhu Youxiao.And not long after, Wei Zhongxian ran over: "Emperor, Miao Chang is recruiting!"
And confessed to all the officials who resisted the decree and broke into the city!
Fan Yuqing also confessed, and also confessed the names of all the officials who harbored him and tried to take him out of the city, which was consistent with what Miao Changqi confessed. ”Zhu Youxiao's expression became serious after hearing this, and he asked directly: "Is there Zhou Yanru?"
”Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied, "Yes!
”"All of them will be arrested and sent to prison!
Strictly interrogated Zhou Yanru and asked him what eyeliner he had planted in the palace, in addition, Miao Changqi and Fan Yuqing and other protesters were so strictly interrogated, it is not excluded that these people colluded with the inner court, they must be asked clearly!
”Zhu Youxiao suddenly ordered.Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he heard this, and immediately guessed that the emperor must have known something, so he replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will be arrested and tried!"
