Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"I said, you remember."

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts, looked at Liu Ruoyu and said: "The situation in the world today is worrying. There are traitors running rampant in the court, and the Ministry of War has bad governance. I know that the Qing family is worried about the country and was deceived by the traitors before, so I ordered the Qing family to leave Denglai. Now, It is my fault. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War is currently vacant. I hope that the Qing family will go to Beijing to take up the post for the sake of the world. The rebellion of the rebels in Liaodong and the rebellion of the chieftains in the southwest require the assistance of the Qing family to suppress them!"

A simple and clear content of the Central Purpose was spoken out by Zhu Youxiao. At that time, Liu Ruoyu was writing straightly, while Wei Zhongxian's thoughts were confused.

The emperor's attitude was very low. If Yuan Keli really cared about the country and the world, after receiving this imperial edict, he would not worry about personal gains and losses, and would definitely go to Beijing to take up a post.

After all, it is not common for an emperor to bow his head and admit his mistakes.

What's more, Yuan Keli resigned as governor of Denglai and had little relationship with the emperor, but the emperor now took over him, so this gesture was enough.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all about what Wei Zhongxian was thinking. In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Yuan Keli was a rare strategic talent.

If he hadn't been in Denglai for several years, created the Dongjiang River, supported Mao Wenlong, strengthened the army, improved military discipline, trained the navy, built warships, added forts along the coast, instigated Liu Xingzuo's rebellion, presided over or participated in many raids in southern Liaoning, the Jianlu rear would have been left empty. If it can be stabilized, I'm afraid Sun Chengzong's strategy against Liao will be difficult to stick to.

When deposing Gao Di, Minister of War, Zhu Youxiao wanted to let Yuan Keli take over. However, if Gao Di wanted to die, Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to do it.

A mediocre person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, let him die.

"Your Majesty, the edict has been drawn up."

Liu Ruoyu respectfully handed the drafted edict to the emperor. The edict was not issued casually, but had its own specific format. Therefore, when writing, Liu Ruoyu added to the format without changing the original meaning. Make sure you get the Emperor's satisfaction.

"Yes, this edict will be sealed immediately."

Zhu Youxiao took a few glances and saw that there were no mistakes, so he looked at Wei Zhongxian and said: "Wei Banban, select a reliable person for me to send out of the capital as soon as possible, and invite Yuan Keli back to the capital for me. If anyone dares to come during this period, Any mistakes..."

"Then the emperor will twist off the slave's head!"

Wei Zhongxian immediately bowed and bowed.

"Go and make arrangements."

Regarding Wei Zhongxian's knowledge, Zhu Youxiao showed a faint smile. It seemed that the previous beating was very effective, but Zhu Youxiao also knew that now is not the time to relax, and the matter is far from over!

"Write another letter to Lu Xiangsheng, the head of the Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Looking at Wei Zhongxian's leaving figure, Zhu Youxiao said to Liu Ruoyu.

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Now that we have decided to take control of the military, we must gather a group of heroes who understand military affairs to replace those wastes who only know how to talk, mess around, and command randomly. Otherwise, no matter how much we do, it will be in vain.

In my memory, Lu Xiangsheng, a versatile man in both civil and military affairs, was still in the central court. It would be the greatest waste not to reuse such an outstanding person.

"Go to the household department in person."

After reading the imperial edict drafted by Liu Ruoyu, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, "I will award this imperial edict to Lu Xiangsheng and ask him to first serve in the Ministry of War."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed in response. After saying this, he turned around and left. He first went to Shangbao Prison to use the seal, and then rushed to the Ministry of Household Affairs to issue the imperial edict.

"Wait a moment."

But just when Liu Ruoyu was about to leave, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said.

"Your Majesty, do you have any other instructions?"

Liu Ruoyu saw this and stepped forward to ask.

"Liu Ruoyu, can you draw?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

"My slave understands..."

Liu Ruoyu didn't know what the emperor meant, so he didn't dare to speak too fully.

"So, can you draw the structure of Lumi Gun?"

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this, but continued to ask.

Just now when he was drafting an order for Yuan Keli, Zhu Youxiao thought of one thing. It would take some time for him to rush to the capital to take up his post. If during this period, a new type of firecracker could be developed, it would be very important for Ming Dynasty's military reform in the future. Going to the battlefield to kill the enemy has great benefits.

Zhu Youxiao knew the development pattern of firearms. The firecrackers popular in the Ming Dynasty now all fall into the category of matchlocks. This efficiency is too low. If a flintlock gun could be made in advance, even the most primitive front-loaded flintlock Shooting a gun, this change is also huge.

"Your Majesty, please wait."

Liu Ruoyu first bowed and then walked towards a certain place. He was good at drawing patterns, and he was no stranger to the structure of firecrackers.

After all, before Liu Ruoyu entered the palace, he was the son of Liu Yingqi, the hereditary commander of the Yanqing Guards. His father was the deputy commander-in-chief of Xie Town, Liaoyang. The reason Liu Ruoyu chose to enter the palace was because he had a strange dream and committed castration. In Wanli, In the 29th year, he was elected to the imperial office and was under the name of Chen Ju, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony.

This is a treasure found.

Seeing Liu Ruoyu drawing at an extremely fast speed, Zhu Youxiao walked over with his hands behind his back. He saw a dismantled structural diagram of Lumi Gun, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

"Add a few strokes here to change the structure of the medicine room."

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts, pointed at the drawing in front of him and said: "Then draw the flint placement at this position. What are you doing in a daze? Quickly draw it as I say."

Ok?

Liu Ruoyu, who was originally stunned, suppressed his shock and continued to draw after hearing what the emperor said. However, as the drawing was drawn, his heart changed!

"Your Majesty, is this not the same Rumi gun as before?"

Liu Ruoyu couldn't help but ask.

"of course not."

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "I call it a percussion flintlock gun. In this way, you personally go to the Royal Horse Prison and ask Gao Shiming to leave the palace with you. After delivering the imperial edict to Lu Xiangsheng, they go to the King's Palace together. Gong Factory, find a few gunsmiths to build a prototype gun according to the design, and let Gao Shiming keep an eye on it in person. Remember that this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and the drawing must not be leaked. After the prototype gun is built, we will call for participation. All the gunsmiths among them were brought into the palace, and I will wait until I have tested the power of the prototype guns before I can tell anything."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly bowed and responded.

Now that we have decided to take control of the military, we must try to improve the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. In this way, it is not enough to just change the lower-level soldiers, but also to change the weapons and equipment.

Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone that future wars will belong to the era of hot weapons. If you blindly rely on cold weapons to win, it will not last long.

What's more, if you want to suppress the Jianlu rebellion in Liaodong and the chieftain rebellion in the southwest, you must form an absolute advantage, especially in weapons. Only if this is solid, then in the future on the battlefield, once a generational difference is formed, no matter what the encounter is. No matter how powerful the army is, they are no match for the Ming army!
