Capital

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen has been thinking about one thing recently, that is, the extremely rampant corruption of the Ming Dynasty, and the problem of staying in Nanjing.

It can be said that the officials who stayed in Nanjing were basically the umbrellas of those wealthy businessmen and gentry.

He has not done anything for the people, and he has not contributed much to the Ming Dynasty.

After the fall of Nanjing, their best performance was to fight for power and power.

Even at the critical moment of the country's life and death, there is still infighting.

After an official investigates or offends those wealthy merchants and gentry, all they need is a letter.

Not only can everything be fine, but it can also make the officials who investigated them lose their posts and dismiss them.

After Cao Huachun and others assassinated a number of Liukou leaders, the army led by Li Yan and Yan Yingyuan swept away thousands of troops all the way.

The rogues of all walks of life either fled in despair or surrendered.

At this time, several Ming backbones summoned by Zhu Youzhen had also arrived in Beijing.

Ah Qing entered the imperial study and interrupted Zhu Youzhen's contemplation:

"Your Majesty, Jinyi Wei is here to report, the few people you summoned have arrived in Beijing last night."

Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, picked up the teacup and took a sip:

"It's here, it's so soon, and the edict is that they will come to the imperial study to see me immediately."

"Obey"

"Zheng Chenggong, Qin Liangyu, Zhang Huangyan, Mu Tianbo, He Tengjiao, Zhang Mingzhen, Huang Degong, etc., see the emperor."

After half a pillar of incense, the seven people entered the imperial study to meet the emperor.

These famous national heroes in later generations are almost still rookies with no fame at this time.

Of course, except for Mu Tianbo and Qin Liangyu, the princes of Qianguo, these two were already famous at this time.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and nodded:

"Everyone, you are all the elites of my Ming Dynasty, take a seat."

"Your Majesty."

After the seven people were seated, Zhu Youzhen carefully looked at the crowd.

Zheng Chenggong was still a young man, and Qin Liangyu was already full of white hair at this time.

Look at the famous heroine in front of you, and remember that she is still fighting for her country at the age of seventy.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and asked casually:

"Qin Aiqing, I want to ask you how expensive you are this year?"

Qin Liangyu hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Back to the emperor, Weichen is sixty-eight years old this year, please rest assured that the old minister can still be loyal to the country for a few years until the end of his life."

Qin Liangyu misunderstood what Zhu Youzhen meant, she thought that the emperor disliked him too old.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen could hear Qin Liangyu's consciousness, until she misunderstood herself, so she laughed and said:

"Qin Aiqing, don't get me wrong, the people I summoned today will be the pillars of my Ming Dynasty in the future, and of course you will not be an exception.

I want to hear what you think of my current situation, and I can speak freely, and I will not blame you. ”

"The Emperor's ......"

It was Qin Liangyu who took the lead in expressing his opinion:

"Your Majesty, although the rogue is rampant, but in the eyes of Wei Chen, the Eastern Kidnapping is the most threatening existence in my Ming Dynasty, and they must be guarded against their wolf ambitions."

Cao Tengjiao:

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the rogues in front of him must also find a way to get rid of them, if they are not swept away, I will never have peace in the Ming Dynasty, and it will be even more difficult to be distracted by the invasion of the east."

……

Everyone expressed their views on the current situation in Daming.

Although there were some differences, Zhu Youzhen knew that they were all sincerely thinking about Daming.

They are all military generals, and of course they will not talk about people's livelihood and commerce.

Zheng Chenggong has been listening carefully to their expressions, but he doesn't say a word.

After the others finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen's gaze shifted to the young man:

"Zheng Sen, why don't you speak, do you have a different opinion from others?"

Zheng Chenggong was still called Zheng Sen at this time, and when he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Back to the emperor, the grass people are on the southeast coast, and they are not very familiar with the situation inside and outside the customs, so they dare not speak falsely, and ask the emperor for forgiveness."

"Haha, I won't blame anyone who is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, this can show that you are open-minded and don't compete with others for fame."

"The emperor understands that if he has the opportunity to serve the country, he will definitely die with all his might."

Zheng Chenggong was moved and fell to his knees directly.

Growing up so big, he hasn't seen much of a big official, and what a great honor it is to be summoned by the emperor today.

Zhu Youzhen got up to help Zheng Chenggong up, and said solemnly:

"Hurry up, you will be called Zheng Chenggong in the future, I will rebuild the Daming Water Division, and now I will make you the Governor of the Water Army, I hope you will not live up to my expectations."

"What? An unknown junior was directly appointed by the emperor as the governor of the Ming Dynasty? What is this operation? ”

Zhu Youzhen's decision not only made Ah Qing open his mouth, but even Qin Liangyu and others were extremely shocked.

Zheng Chenggong was stunned on the spot, and he didn't react for a long time, it was incredible.

Seeing that Zheng Chenggong didn't react for a while, Qin Liangyu gently pulled the placket of his clothes:

"Lord Zheng, don't thank you yet!"

Under Qin Liangyu's reminder, Zheng Chenggong woke up from his dream, hurriedly prostrated on the ground, and kowtowed heavily:

"Zheng Chenggong received the order, thank the emperor for his love, Zheng Chenggong has nothing to repay, only to make the Ming Navy famous in the world to repay the emperor's kindness......"

"Well, let's be even, I believe in you, after the reunification of the country, I will personally set foot on your sailor's big ship and swim the world!"

"The Emperor Shengming"

Qin Liangyu and everyone got up to wish the emperor his wish come true, and they also wanted to see the navy plant the Ming flag all over the world.

Zhu Youzhen temporarily suppressed his inflated desire, Daming is still in crisis now, it is more realistic to solve the matter in front of him first.

Next, Zhu Youzhen passed on another decree:

"Huang Degong, you lead the army under your command, go to Zuo Liangyu, temporarily be his deputy commander, you have to do everything possible to gain a foothold there, and when the time is ripe, I will hand over his hundreds of thousands of troops to you to lead, remember, today's words, no one can spread the word."

"Obedience"

Next, Zhu Youzhen said to Qin Liangyu:

"Qin Huanming, you have been fighting for my Ming Dynasty all your life, I really can't bear to work hard for you anymore, but Daming is now in short supply of talents, I am still ready to work hard for you once."

Qin Liangyu hurriedly got up and saluted:

"Your Majesty, it's not right for you to say this, as the wife of the Ming Dynasty, I eat the country's money, and it is natural for me to be loyal to the country, the emperor has something to say, Qin Liangyu's old bones can fight for two years."

Zhu Youzhen sincerely admired Qin Liangyu, a heroine, he got up and supported Qin Liangyu and asked her to sit back before he smiled:

"I don't want you to go into battle to kill the enemy, from today on, you will be the governor of Sichuan, the lady of Yipin.

I will allocate two million taels of silver to you, and you will go back to recruit troops and horses to revive the white-pole army.

Zhang Xianzhong can be beaten or discussed, as long as he lays down his arms, I will divide him as the king, but there is one condition, transfer Li Dingguo to Beijing to me. ”

"Old minister Qin Liangyu, thank you Lord Longen, the emperor can rest assured, as long as I, Qin Liangyu, have a breath of air, I will definitely not let you down."

Qin Liangyu was so excited, she felt that Da Ming was so kind to her family, and she wanted to kneel down and thank you.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly supported her, a white-haired and loyal martyr, how could he bear to let Qin Liangyu kneel.

After arranging Qin Liangyu, Zhang Huangyan was appointed by Zhu Youzhen as the governor of the navy.

Fully assist Zheng Chenggong to build the Daming Water Division, the base of Fujian.

Others, Zhu Youzhen will not treat them badly, and the matter of Daming now being a civil official will not appear.

The military general Anbang, the civil minister governs the country!
