When the civilian officials of the Donglin Party were planning to threaten the Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhu Youxiao by resigning, Xu Guangqi and a group of non-Donglin officials were testing the performance of the turtledove in the test hall.The test hall is the official weapons inspection base of the Ming Dynasty for testing firearms, which was set up by the Jiajing Dynasty.Bang!
Luo Shangzhi, who was born as the deputy chief soldier of the Shenji Battalion, pulled the trigger and shot out more than one or two pieces of lead.When the puff of white smoke cleared, a large hole was broken in the plank a hundred paces away.Luo Shangzhi was quite excited when he saw this: "This gun is very good!"
”Xu Guangqi also laughed: "Sure enough, it is much more powerful than the bird gun, and most of the bird guns are exhausted in a hundred steps!"
Next, Xu Guangqi himself also tried firing once, but his strength was limited, and because the recoil of the turtledove was too great, he had to fork the fork on the gun bed to shoot.Bang!
After another shot passed, the iron plate seventy steps away was immediately shot through by the turtledove in Xu Guangqi's hand."
Otherwise, this gun is not enough to kill the enemy and win!"
Xu Guangqi said excitedly."
Your Majesty has arrived!"
At this time, Wei Zhongxian's voice reached the test hall, and Xu Guangqi and Luo Shangzhi hurriedly came over to greet him: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I heard the gunshots from afar, how about it, can this turtledove be of actual combat value?"
”"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that when this gun is quickly promoted, this gun will be a sharp weapon to break the captivity!
It's just a little heavier, and it's hard for non-Lux to hold, otherwise you can only use a fork!
”Xu Guangqi spoke.Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at Luo Shangzhi: "Luo Aiqing is a veteran of the Qi family's army, and he has rich experience in the actual combat application of firearms in the army. ”Luo Shangzhi thought for a while and said: "Back to Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, you can use two of these guns in each firearms team!"
In addition, it is best to select a group of strong people, form a separate team, and all of them are equipped with this gun, as the fist of a battalion, and when the enemy army comes to fight with a large number of shield vehicles, you can concentrate this gun!
”Therefore, Zhu Youxiao immediately replied: "Accurate!
You immediately design the rules for the formation and preparation of the firearms team for me!
Don't think about spending money!
”"Obey the order!"
Luo Shangzhi replied excitedly, his favorite thing in his life is to organize firearms troops, and study how to make all kinds of firearms exert their greatest power through the formation of formations, and even since the victory over the Japanese slave iron cannon in the Battle of Pyongyang, he has always had the intention to use his years of actual combat experience to improve the original mandarin duck formation of the Qi family's army, but unfortunately there has been no chance, and now the newly enthroned Son of Heaven has let him handle this matter, which is simply scratching his heart, not to mention that now Qi Jiguang is posthumously named Marquis, Naturally, he was also a little looking forward to following his old boss and making great achievements, so he couldn't wait to go back to get a pen and write, and said in his heart: "Damn, Lao Tzu has never been as eager to write a recital as he is today!"
No more sleep tonight!
I definitely can't sleep anyway!
”"Your Majesty, as General Luo said, this gun can allow the powerful to hold this gun as a fist, but most of the firearms are still better with other guns, and the minister thinks that the gun should be used together, that is, the gun that Zhao Shizhen said, this gun is improved on the basis of the three long guns and Lu Mi guns, the operation is simpler, and because there is a rain canopy, it can be rainproof and windproof."
Xu Guangqi also spoke at this time.Zhu Youxiao also knew that the Heji Gun was one of the best firearms that could be made in this era, so he approved Xu Guangqi's suggestion."
Convey to the cabinet that it is proposed to merge the Ordnance Bureau of the Yu Heng Division of the Ministry of Industry and the Military Bureau of the Inner Court into the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, and set up a Ministry of Industry to manage the General Bureau, and the General Administration will be responsible for hiring craftsmen to manufacture the machine!"
Zhu Youxiao gave instructions to Wei Zhongxian, and said to Xu Guangqi: "After you and General Luo Lao and others agree on the required number of combined machine guns for the new Guards, then apply to me and order the combined machine guns from the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau. ”"As for the squire of the Ministry of Works, who is in charge of the Ordnance Factory, he will be succeeded by Bi Maokang, and I have heard that this man is good at handling firearms, so let him take office immediately.""
In addition, the decree of the cabinet is to encourage the craftsmen of the world to make more sharp weapons to defeat the soldiers, so the craftsman status will be abolished, and the levy of the banjiang silver will be permanently abolished, and the banjiang silver after the first year of the apocalypse will no longer be collected.""
Again, the Ministry of Industry is ordered to set up a patent department, and in the future, all the people of the world can apply for patent protection from the Imperial Patent Department for new skills obtained by the people, regardless of whether they are high or low, and all those who use this new technology, regardless of government or private enterprises, must pay their patent fees!""
Another purpose, the establishment of the Daming Academy of Engineering and the Daming Academy of Sciences two yamen, the main hall official is set as Zhengqing, for the three products, the Ming Academy of Engineering selected the world's most outstanding craftsmen as academicians, listed as the five products, the Ming Academy of Sciences selected the world in the country and the people of the scholars as academicians, also listed as the five products, but the treatment is the second grade!"
Zhu Youxiao said and said: "The head secretary of the two academies is still concurrently served by Xu Aiqing for the time being!"
”"Obey the order!"
Xu Guangqi replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao instructed Chen Xin, who was accompanying him: "Turtledove, you immediately arrange for someone to go to Nanyang to buy it, and it is best to invite the craftsmen who can make this gun, as long as you are willing to come to the society to reward the official position of academician." ”"Obey the order!"
Chen Xin also replied.Next.Zhu Youxiao himself also operated the turtledove and other firearms for a while, and finally brought back the turtledove that Chen Xin gave him.Although the inner court has been purged now, it is naturally more secure to have more firearms around you.…… However, not long after Zhu Youxiao returned to the Qianqing Palace, the two cabinet ministers Fang Congzhe and Han Yi were anxious to see him.Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to go to see the production process of the hand-spinning machine and met Fang Congzhe.As soon as Fang Congzhe and Han Yi saw Zhu Youxiao, Fang Congzhe was busy and said: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the six departments, the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, the Six Departments, Honglu Temple, Taichang Temple, Taifu Temple, Guozijian, Hanlin Academy, etc., have a large number of officials who have resigned, a total of hundreds of people, even the Heavenly Official Zhou Gong of the Ministry of Officials, and the Young Sect of the Ministry of Rites, Uncle Sun Gong, have all resigned from the Ministry of Rites, and the ministers dare not approve it, and please ask Your Majesty to make a holy ruling!"
”Han Yi also followed and said: "Your Majesty, the temple has been unable to look at the court for a long time due to illness, resulting in a serious shortage of officials in the world, and the first emperor has only been on the throne for a month, and the supplementary officials have not had time to make up for much, and some places have been without officials to manage for a long time, and chaos is everywhere. ”Zhu Youxiao glanced at Han Yi, and he naturally understood that this must be a group of civilian officials of the Donglin Party who collectively resigned because they were dissatisfied with their execution of Gao Panlong, Miao Changqi, Zhou Yanru and other Donglin Party officials, and wanted to threaten themselves with this.But Zhu Youxiao didn't care, because as far as he knew, there was no shortage of people who wanted to be officials in this world.For example, there was a dynasty in history, because only eunuchs were required to be officials, even so, there were many scribes who would rather swing their swords from the palace than rush to the court to be officials, not to mention that there was no such requirement in the Ming Dynasty, and there were more scribes in the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only sneered and asked: "The emperor has been a monk for more than two hundred years, and there is still a shortage of officials in this world?"
”Then, Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Approve their resignation!"
However, knowing that the imperial court is now operating in difficulty and that many government affairs are piled up and wasted, and the society is unstable, he suddenly wants to resign, instead of waiting for next year's major events to change the yuan before resigning, it can be seen that he is ignoring the court and society, especially these court officials, where is their public loyalty to the country?
When the ticket is drafted, it must be applied, and the following will be drafted when it is approved: First, those who resign this time will be dismissed as commoners, and will not enjoy the treatment of grace and honor, and shall not gallop back to their hometowns!
Since they are inconsiderate of the imperial court, then don't blame the imperial court for not being considerate of them; Second, the three generations of children and grandchildren are not allowed to conduct scientific examinations, and all graces and shades are banned!
If he is so disloyal to the country, his family education will inevitably fail, and his descendants will have no concept of loyalty and filial piety, and they will devote themselves to learning from the three generations of saints and then serve the country; Third, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, together with the six sections, formed a special Beijing inspection group to conduct a temporary special inspection of the resigned Beijing officials, investigate whether there were any unabandoned and unresolved government affairs during the performance of their duties, and convict and punish them according to the extent of their losses to the imperial court.If there is corruption, it will be convicted by the three law divisions!
So as not to implicate the successor!
Don't leave Beijing until the investigation is clear!
