Daming Military Empire

Chapter 17
After sending Xu Guangqi away, Zhu Cijiong hurried back to the Imperial Study Room. Since he wanted to use the method of exchange to arrange his team to the Sixth Department of the Beijing Normal University, the appointment and dismissal memorials for the officials who had already been approved could not be sent. Party bargaining ah!

Fortunately, Zhu Youjian and Sun Chengzong were still busy reviewing other memorials, and all the reviewed ones were put aside, and they had not had time to send them to various ministries.

Seeing Zhu Cijiong go back and forth, these two people were a little confused, and the letter king Zhu Youjian couldn't help asking: "What orders does the emperor have?"

Zhu Cijiong looked around pretending to be bored, and then said naively: "I heard from my mentor Xu Guangqi that Bi Maokang, Sun Yuanhua, Wang Zheng, and Song Yingxing are all good people. They don't have much to do now. It's a pity. Get them a few errands."

Well, as soon as he became a master of God, he started to cultivate his own power. Who doesn't know that these people are Xu Guangqi's friends.

Xu Guangqi is such a badass, he was shot while lying down, the key point is that he didn't know that he had been shot!
Of course, Sun Chengzong didn't think that this was what Zhu Cijiong meant. Can a five-year-old child have the idea of ​​supporting his cronies?It was definitely Xu Guangqi's idea!

He thought about it, and asked tentatively: "I don't know what errands the emperor wants to arrange for them. Except for Song Yingxing who is a Juren, the rest of them are all Jinshi backgrounds. Their original positions are not low."

Zhu Cijiong replied indifferently: "Bi Maokang can arrange for him to be a minister of the Ministry of Industry. Sun Yuanhua can be a doctor in the Ministry of War and take care of weapons; Wang Zheng will let him be a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and in charge of controllers; as for Song Yingxing, let him Be a secretary under Wang Zheng."

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong weighed it in. Except that Bi Maokang was a third rank, Sun Yuanhua and Wang Zheng both had a fifth rank, and Song Yingxing only had a ninth rank. This request was not too much, but it still had to be approved by the eunuch party. Sun Yuanhua was fine. , Sun Chengzong is the Minister of the Ministry of War, so he was arranged casually, but it is hard to say about the other three. The Ministry of Industry is now the eunuch's world.

So, he reminded: "The Ministry of War can make arrangements, but the eunuchs at the Ministry of Industry may not agree!"

Zhu Cijiong pretended to be angry and said: "Isn't these appointment and dismissal memorials not yet issued? If they dare not agree, I will keep these memorials, so that their people will not be able to be officials."

Sun Chengzong only thought that this was a child's angry words, and he didn't care much. He proposed: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu to discuss it?"

Let's discuss it, and they don't dare to disagree. If the face is torn, everyone will have a hard time.

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong decreed that Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu should discuss matters in the main hall of Qing Palace. "

When Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu received the decree, they were really upset. They were afraid that Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian would take the opportunity to deal with them.But the emperor's will had to be obeyed. Resisting the decree was a death penalty. If they dared to resist the decree, there was no need to make excuses. It would be useless if they were directly pulled out and hacked.

Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu came to Qianqing Palace anxiously, and soon found that they were completely wrong. The emperor didn't ask them to come here to find fault with them. The emperor or Sun Chengzong actually asked them to discuss the appointment and dismissal of officials!

Zhu Cijiong's meaning is very simple, I can pass all the memorials for the appointment and removal of officials, and in return, don't object to the few people I mentioned.

Everyone discussed for a long time in a friendly atmosphere. Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu agreed to the appointment and dismissal of Bi Maokang and other four people with great interest. In exchange, Zhu Cijiong also agreed to approve all the memorials for their appointment and dismissal of officials. In fact, they did not agree with the memorial. It was all approved, but Zhou Yingqiu and Wu Chunfu didn't know about it.

In the end, Bi Maokang and other four people arranged positions according to Zhu Cijiong's intention:

Bi Maokang served as the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and was the third rank;
Wang Zheng was appointed as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry and Civil Affairs Department, and he was the fifth rank;

Sun Yuanhua served as the doctor of the Ministry of War's arsenal to clean up officials, and he was the fifth rank;
Song Yingxing served as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry's Ministry of Construction and Cleaning up Officials, and he was a nine-rank official.

After this discussion, the eunuchs gradually relaxed their vigilance, those core members no longer frown, even Wei Zhongxian entered the palace under the protection of Tian Ergeng to meet the little emperor, Luo Yangxing did not ambush him at the palace gate, everything seemed to be in order Back to the time when Ming Xizong was in power.

Every morning, the little emperor Zhu Cijiong sat there without saying a word, as if he was not interested in the government at all.Sun Chengzong also did not mobilize the Donglin Party to impeach the Eunuch Party, he was calm and calm, as if he was a good old man.The letter king Zhu Youjian stood there like a sculpture and never spoke.

There was no confrontation as imagined, and no cleaning as imagined. The little emperor ignored the government at all, not to mention that he stopped talking in the early court, and it was even more exaggerated when he was in the early court. Zhu Youjian and Sun Chengzong were all responsible for reviewing the memorials. He himself hangs out with close ministers such as Emperor Xu Guangqi and Bi Maokang all day long, and he doesn't know whether he is studying or playing.

The eunuch thought that the matter was over like this, and the little emperor had the same virtue as Ming Xizong, so he didn't want to care about them at all. As long as he didn't take the initiative to provoke him, nothing would happen.

Of course, this matter will not be left as it is. Sun Chengzong never thought of letting the eunuch party go. He is secretly collecting information on the members of the eunuch party. As long as Yuan Keli and Qin Liangyu are in place, he will let Wei Zhongxian understand why the flowers are so popular.

Zhu Cijiong wasn't playing around either. After Bi Maokang and others arrived in place one after another, he called all his cronies to hold a small meeting to preliminarily determine their responsibilities.At the same time, he also performed a "miracle" with the cooperation of Xu Guangqi, which fooled a few of his cronies into a daze, thinking that he was a fairy descended from the earth.

At this point, his team is finally in place, and everyone's responsibilities are also clarified:
Xu Guangqi, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongge University, is responsible for "invention and creation", that is, transforming the military industry knowledge in Zhu Cijiong's mind into literal things and drawings. The function is similar to the printers we use now, but in the process of "printing" , he will 'print' the content thoroughly.

Bi Maokang, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, is temporarily in charge of collecting all the gun materials of the Ming Dynasty. He does not need to design the flintlock. Guide him to make a series.After all, it is impossible for the army to only be equipped with ordinary long-barreled flintlock guns, long and short, single-shot and multiple-shot, etc. must be available.Just like a modern army, it is impossible to equip only rifles, pistols, machine guns, and submachine guns must be available.As long as the first flintlock gun is made, it is not very complicated to transform it into other types according to its principle.

Wang Zheng, a doctor of the Ministry of Industry, is mainly responsible for collecting information on various manual machine tools. Zhu Cijiong wants to find something similar to the original machine tool in his mind, and then guide him to make it.

Sun Yuanhua, the official secretary of the Ministry of War, is mainly responsible for firing artillery, that is, testing the performance of artillery. Zhu Cijiong is going to slowly guide him to summarize the theory of artillery warfare, and slowly apply modern artillery warfare theories such as ballistics, coordinates, fixed-point clearing, and intensive attacks. in actual combat.

Song Yingxing, Secretary of the Ministry of Industry's Ministry of Construction and Cleaning up, is mainly in charge of manufacturing. He is equivalent to the current production director. He has a large group of craftsmen under him. Zhu Cijiong, Xu Guangqi and others can just ask him for something they want to make.

The last one is Cao Huachun, the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies and Bingbi. He is a professional eunuch who has undergone formal training. He is both civil and military, loyal and reliable.After a few days of observation, Zhu Cijiong felt that his loyalty was not pretended, but from the heart, and he gradually regarded him as his confidant. After all, after Wei Zhongxian was dealt with, someone would take care of him. Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Cao Huachun is a very suitable candidate.
