Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"This is the magnanimity and demeanor that I appointed as the Minister of War should have!!"

In Dongnuan Pavilion, after learning about Yuan Keli's actions in the Ministry of War, Zhu Youxiao praised him unstintingly. In such a special situation, if you want to accomplish something, you must have courage and show your courage. The attitude of putting the world first, otherwise wanting to do something is undoubtedly wishful thinking! !

The current officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, and most people are thinking about taking advantage of the situation, thinking about getting promoted and making a fortune. If you want to do things that are not the same as most, then you are undoubtedly an outlier.

When dealing with outliers in the officialdom, even if they have political differences, they will be put aside for the time being, and we will first defeat you, the outlier.

It is true that Zhu Youxiao specially promoted Yuan Keli to take up the post of Minister of War, and it is true that he can stand behind him to support him, but he still has to do what he should do in his job well.

Just like when Xiong Tingbi was appointed as the assistant manager of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, Zhu Youxiao opened a royal gate for him to express his attitude, deposed a cabinet bachelor, and executed a group of officials and censors. However, Xiong Tingbi was in the Beijing camp. He also did what he should do. He even fought against 137 generals in the Beijing camp, and actually paid arrears of military pay to appease the lower-level officers. This was the pillar of talent that Zhu Youxiao wanted.

The same is true.

Yuan Keli went to Beijing to take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Youxiao also gave him a big gift. Cui Chengxiu was promoted to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, which concentrated the main contradictions. Although there was also a consideration of thoroughly investigating the gunpowder smuggling case, in the final analysis, it was also Helped Yuan Keli.

Judging from the results, Yuan Keli did not disappoint Zhu Youxiao. Under the current situation, Yuan Keli was able to express his attitude and clear position at the meeting of the Ministry of War. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of his desire to do more practical things and share the worries of the country. .

If the Ming Dynasty in the future, whether central or local, can have a group of more pillar talents like this, no matter how many challenges it faces and how many difficulties it encounters, Zhu Youxiao firmly believes that the Ming Dynasty can survive smoothly! !

"The left minister of the Ministry of War."

While Zhu Youxiao was happy, he looked at the memorial in his hand and fell into deep thought. The former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War had been arrested by the people of the Western Police Factory because of the gunpowder smuggling case designated by the emperor.

This position became vacant.

Now that Yuan Keli has been appointed to the Ministry of War, he not only made his position clear, but also recommended it to the imperial minister, hoping to fill this position.

After all, the Ministry of War is too important. It doesn't matter if it lacks a few ministers or chief ministers, but it is not enough if it lacks a minister. And the person Yuan Keli recommended was Xu Guangqi!

"It is not appropriate for Xu Guangqi to hold this important position."

Thinking of his various plans, although Zhu Youxiao admitted that Xu Guangqi was talented, the position of left minister of the Ministry of War required a certain strategic vision, the ability to clearly position oneself, and to assist Yuan Ke in managing the Ministry of War well. To achieve this, It can’t just be talent.

"Has Xu Guangqi come to Beijing?"

Zhu Youxiao, who thought of this, glanced at Liu Ruoyu and asked.

"Your Majesty, none of the people who issued the decree have returned to Beijing yet."

Liu Ruoyu said truthfully: "The Armed Forces Bureau led by Jiao Xu did not submit a memorial to the Supervisor of Rites. Xu Guangqi should not have returned to the capital yet."

The Armament Bureau, which was created by merging the Military Affairs Bureau under the Inner Court and the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry, is now headed by Jiao Xu himself. Before that, leading figures such as Xu Guangqi and Song Yingxing, and Zhu Youxiao were all awarded the title of middle school. The special purpose was to summon them to Beijing in the name of the Arms Bureau to allow them to go to Beijing to innovate firearms and armaments and contribute to the suppression of the Jianlu rebellion in the future.

"Notify me as soon as you have any news."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "Especially this Xu Guangqi, I want to summon him after he enters Beijing."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu bowed and bowed.

"The purpose of imitating the Tao."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said with a serious expression: "Declaring political leftist candidate Hong Chengchou to the two Zhejiang provinces!"

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu responded again and then walked towards a certain place.

Think again and again.

The vacant left minister of the Ministry of War could not be filled by Xu Guangqi, but Zhu Youxiao could not ignore Yuan Keli's recommendation.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi's future position is tentatively designated as Minister of Industry by Zhu Youxiao. Since he has talents in this area, he must make good use of them.

What's more, Xu Guangqi also did something that Zhu Youxiao felt he should fully support. As early as the Wanli period, Xu Guangqi once taught a "Sweet Potato Sparse". Others didn't know the power of this thing, but Zhu Youxiao knew it very well. If this imported high-yielding crop could be popularized in the Ming Dynasty, many people would starve to death in the future!

"Today, there are serious deficiencies in the Ministry of War. I specially promoted Yuan Keli to serve as Minister of War in order to clear up the deficiencies in the Ministry of War. However, the circumstances under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War are special. Yuan Keli is the only one to support me. I am worried. I know that your family is well versed in military affairs..."

After thinking about this, Zhu Youxiao wrote a special edict to Hong Chengchou who was far away in Zhejiang. He felt that this person was very suitable for the vacant position of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War!

Hong Chengchou was the fourteenth member of the second class of Bingchen Branch in the 44th year of Wanli. He was first appointed as the head of the Jiangxi Qing Li Department of the Ministry of Punishment. He successively served as Yuanwailang and Langzhong. In the second year of Tianqi, he was promoted to Zhejiang Ti Xueqian. He currently serves as the official official of the two Zhejiang Chengxuan Senator Left.

Zhu Youxiao knew very well that Hong Chengchou had a great talent, a deep city, a high vision, and a strategic vision. In the first half of his life, he had no criticism. , did not choose to join the Jianru, but chose to go for the Ming Dynasty, then the history records will be comparable to Wen Tianxiang's existence.

However, Hong Chengchou finally surrendered to Jianlu. Perhaps he was really disappointed with the Ming Dynasty and also disappointed with Chongzhen. But in any case, such a decision would be spurned.

Hong Chengchou made great contributions during the period when Jianlu tried to conquer China. Without Hong Chengchou, the southeastern provinces south of the Yangtze River would not have been captured by Jianlu so quickly, and a series of tragedies occurred.

However, when the Qing Dynasty was passed to Qian De, Hong Chengchou was included in the biography of Erchen. This is such an irony.

When explaining what he had written to Liu Ruoyu, Zhu Youxiao had an idea in his heart. He would never learn from Li Zicheng in this life, let alone become Chongzhen. He would use this Hong Chengchou!

The current situation is very critical. He not only needs the help of loyal people, but also the help of people with scheming ideas in the city. Hong Chengchou is undoubtedly a choice.

As long as the road ahead can go smoothly and steadily, then Hong Chengchou will be the most useful pioneer. Working with smart people has always been easy.

If Hong Chengchou dares to fool him in the future, he will not have any psychological burden if he kills him.

"Your Majesty."

Liu Ruoyu respectfully handed the written edict to the emperor for his emperor to read.

"Use the seal."

After Zhu Youxiao read it, he agreed with what he said and said: "Select suitable people from the inner court and rush to Zhejiang to promulgate it."

"The servant understands."

Liu Ruoyu lowered his head and responded.

When Hong Chengchou goes to Beijing to take up a post, Zhu Youxiao will no longer have to worry about many matters of the Ministry of War. He only needs to control the general direction.

It's just that Yan Mingtai, the right minister of the Ministry of War, needs to find an opportunity to win and then find a suitable talent to replace him. Only in this way can the Ministry of War meet Zhu Youxiao's requirements.

"Slave Fang Zhenghua, please see me!"

While Zhu Youxiao was thinking, a voice sounded outside the hall.

"come in."

Hearing Fang Zhenghua's voice, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly. His intuition told him that Fang Zhenghua must have something going on here. After all, he was currently responsible for the recruitment of the Fourth Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion.

Only when you hold the barrel of a gun in your own hands can you be most confident!

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, Zhu Youxiao must create a group of absolutely loyal and powerful troops, otherwise many things in the future will not be possible at all.

"My servant pays homage to the Emperor!"

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at Fang Zhenghua who was bowing and saluting.

"Your Majesty, the slaves were ordered to recruit brave men. During the process of settling their families, they discovered that there was a big problem in the Imperial Manor located on the outskirts of Beijing!"

Fang Zhenghua did not dare to hesitate and immediately reported what he knew. Although he knew that once the matter was brought to the imperial court, it would inevitably cause a new disturbance, Fang Zhenghua did not dare not to report it.

After all, what he knew was too incredible!

"what is the problem?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, stared at Fang Zhenghua and said, "Tell me the truth you know one by one!!"
