Chapter 168 Dismissal in the Matter

"How can you say that these things can be carried out, as soon as you see such an order, the six departments will not be refuted in the matter!" At his own small meeting within the cabinet, Li Ruhua lamented a little.

This is the rule set by Zhu Youxiao, and it is decided by the cabinet ministers in case of trouble. Other rules are also more detailed, such as the priority of cabinet orders and holy decrees, and all things are respected by divine decrees.

"That's a real problem." Sun Chengzong also frowned. At the beginning, it was established to prevent the minister from abusing power, but now it has become a weapon of political disputes, and if there is no one in the cabinet to give the matter, the order issued will not be carried out at all, and it will be rejected in the matter.

Several scholars also looked at each other, and also felt constrained, in the context of the change of the empire, to give the system in the matter is a great resistance.

"The Divine Decree has arrived." When they were relatively sad, a eunuch in green clothes came with a yellow scroll in his hand.

"The ministers take the order." The five scholars knelt down one after another, for these eunuchs in Tsing Yi who communicated inside and outside, these people had long been familiar with them, after all, in the case of the emperor's wanton abolition of eunuchs, they could still hold certain positions, and they must have an extraordinary background.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: ........." The eunuch spread out the holy decree, and Yu Yang read it in frustration. This decree was not for anything else, but for the six subjects that they were worried about just now.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse came very directly, directly believing that it involved party disputes in the matter and was not beneficial to the country, so it was abolished, and the corresponding people were arranged by the cabinet.

Zhu Youxiao was very puzzled by the Ming Dynasty's system of giving things, he had never heard of an order issued by the government, and the people below could still refute it, otherwise it would not have legal effect. Under normal circumstances, you can slowly replace and replace your own people, but now is the time for a large-scale reform, and Zhu Youxiao really doesn't have the kung fu to play any balance towards political parties.

Or just withdraw the matter.

The development of the feudal centralized system to the Qing Dynasty did reach its peak, but it also came to a dead end, once the dream was shattered, it was a painful fall, how could Zhu Youxiao endure this kind of thing.

Even if the descendants of the Zhu family are incompetent in later generations, it is better to fall into power than this situation, not to mention, anyway, the position of the emperor belongs to the old Zhu family, not his old Xiao family, so it is better to be an empty emperor.

Zhu Youxiao knows that the development of history cannot be stopped no matter what, because he doesn't care about what may happen in the future at all, as long as he is the emperor in name and reality, I don't care if he is a flood after my death.

It couldn't have come at a better time!

After receiving the order, several ministers glanced at each other, and their hearts were all suddenly full of this idea, it seems that the emperor is really as he said, he personally went down to preside over the change, he himself is not only a strong backer of the cabinet, but also personally plays the role of the vanguard.

People who can do a book are not stupid, the sea has been up and down for decades, and they have long faded away from the youth of the first officialdom, they are deeply aware of the shortcomings of this empire, but they are small and weak, even if they are auxiliary ministers, they can't do anything.

Now with the support of the emperor, a strong sense of utilitarianism has risen in their hearts in vain, and they have the intention of doing something again. That is Li Ruhua, who is planning to be a minister, as the first real prime minister, but still the head of the prime minister, the position of power has reached the peak, it is time to think about the aftermath.

If the reform is really successful, let the Ming Dynasty rise again, whether it is for his own name or for the family.

"The old man is old, not as energetic as the young man, but he is quite experienced, and the charge will be handed over to you, and the old man will guard the rear for you, childish, do a good job, and don't live up to Your Majesty's expectations." After Li Ruhua's mind changed, he said to Sun Chengzong tremblingly, showing his old age.

However, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to underestimate this old man, he gave a deep salute, "Thank you for your help, I will do my best." ”

Li Ruhua said this, even if he unified his opinion within the cabinet, it could be regarded as showing his attitude and full support, and all the affairs of change were presided over by Sun Chengzong, and the other scholars of the three pavilions were all under the orders of Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the East Pavilion University.

After having such a promise, Sun Chengzong also made up his mind, after all, Li Ruhua is the first assistant, if others are old and have to intervene, Sun Chengzong is not very easy to interfere.

"Guys, now we're going to talk about how things should go." Sun Chengzong turned around and looked at the other three with burning eyes.

Next, it is the cabinet of busy meetings and task assignments, and during this time they are also constantly in and out of the Qianqing Palace, to ask the emperor for specific regulations, this change is promoted by the emperor, in the end he knows best, the role of the cabinet is to preside over specific affairs, as well as to provide personnel reference.

Under the impetus of Zhu Youxiao, the officialdom of the entire empire was running at an unprecedented speed, and the high-intensity work suddenly made those civilian officials who were used to being idle complain.

In the study room of the Qianqing Palace, Yu Zhigao was listening to the emperor's eloquent conversation, which was a conversation about the establishment of the imperial navy.

"The empire has a long sea line, from north to south, almost two thousand miles, if there is still a country that strikes our land with a huge navy, it can concentrate its forces and strike at its void, but the empire can only talk about the equal distribution of the defenders, and the dispersion of forces, so the initiative is in the other, and it will surely repeat the affairs of the Japanese invaders, or even worse. Therefore, it is necessary to have a strong navy to defend the empire's seas and enemies from the country. ”

Zhu Youxiao started from the aspect of national security and explained in detail his thinking on sea power and novel viewpoints to Yu Zhigao, a naval general chosen by himself, so that Yu Zhigao, who grew up in the coastal areas of Fujian, had a flash of inspiration, and his past insights were connected, and a new world opened up in front of him.

"If there is a navy, you can take advantage of the Jianzhou Jurchen to go straight to their hearts and kill their old and weak women and children, then the Jurchens must return to help, and the siege of Liaodong can be solved." couldn't help it, Yu Zhigao also put forward his own ideas.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "It seems that Master Yu has comprehended the wonderful use of the navy." Next, he explained to Yu Zhigao the rules of naval warfare now, the side gun battle with T-shaped tactics as the core.

Hearing the novel tactics, this swarthy veteran's eyes rippled with brilliance, and he wished that there would be a powerful navy to direct him in the battle.

"The speed of the ship, the range of the cannons, and the number of cannons." Yu Zhigao muttered about the core of the new-style navy, he had grown up on the seaside, and he was naturally no stranger to naval warfare, but now as soon as he came into contact with the new-style thinking, he quickly absorbed it, and the rest was the tempering of actual combat.

"I have sent an order to Shen Yourong to move from Dengzhou to Tianjin, and Yu Shi can go to Tianjin, with Yu Shi as the commander of the Ming Imperial Navy, and Shen Yourong as the deputy deputy commander, to form the Ming Navy. I awarded the rank of Major General of Yu Division and the rank of Colonel Shen Yourong. I hope that Master Yu will live up to my expectations. With that, Zhu Youxiao took a set of military uniforms from Liu Ruoyu and sent them to Yu Zhigao with his own hands.

The shining golden stars, shining with enchanting brilliance, are real ranks made of gold. This major general Zhu Youxiao was the first general rank conferred since the military system was adopted, Qi Jin, who commanded the Jingshi City Defense Army, was a colonel, and Li Yuyu, who was the first person in the Yulin Army, was a lieutenant colonel.

This shows that it is of great significance.

"The last general will live up to His Majesty's expectations." Yu Shigao solemnly gave a military salute.

"Master Yu brought these materials over for the master of the shipyard to see, and the materials were kept by Master Yu himself to prevent them from being lost." Zhu Youxiao took out a thick stack of information, this is all the information about shipbuilding in his mind, and the magical fin reduction technology is in it, and the importance of this information can be imagined.

"The Galen shipyard has been built a long time ago, and it has experience, and the key at this time is to quickly form combat effectiveness, after the Yu division arrived in Tianjin, when the Galen ship was the main ship, the navy was built, and the flying clipper ship could hit the cannon at the end and act as a reconnaissance ship. A bit of a synthesis of the two will be put aside for the time being, and let the masters work hard to build ships first. Zhu Youxiao earnestly advised, and predetermined the plan for where Yu Zhigao would go.

"The last will be saved." Yu Zhigao nodded.

"In that case, go ahead." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked the other party to set off immediately, he has explained everything that should be explained, Yu Zhigao is also a veteran, these are all understood, and it is fried leftovers.

"The last will obey." Yu Zhigao gave a military salute and strode away, taking some people straight to Tianjin.

At this moment, Shen Yourong, who commanded the Dengzhou Naval Division, was chopping the waves at sea, with hundreds of large and small fortune ships and ships, full of goods and people, galloping towards Tianjin.

A year ago, Zhu Youxiao issued a holy decree to let Shen Yourong, who was stationed in Dengzhou, go south to receive wood and craftsmen for shipbuilding. Among the Donglin personnel involved in the rebellion, there were quite a few Jiangnan gentry, and they generally participated in the maritime trade, with several shipyards under their command, and countless good timber and craftsmen.

And now, all this belongs to Zhu Youxiao, and the 500,000 taels of silver obtained from the raid were shipped by Jinyiwei in batches and sent to Tianjin. Other shops, fields and the like, with many names, were temporarily sealed and waited for Wang Wenyan to go south to receive them after he finished handling the affairs of the Changlu Salt Farm.

When Yu Zhigao set out, a large number of people also set off from Tianjin Yanchang, but their destination was not Jingshi, but Changlu Town. And Wang Wenyan was also almost at the same time, holding the holy decree, set out from Jingshi, went to Changlu, and received the Changlu salt field.

In January of the first year of the Apocalypse, just after the Lantern Festival, the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty operated violently under the holy decree of Zhu Youxiao, the Beijing Division shook, the North Zhili shook, the Changlu shook, and the Jiangnan and even the whole world shook.

Everyone didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had just ascended the throne and had not yet sat on the throne, had such a big determination and his movements, starting from all aspects, and making his own voice.
