"Since I know what Aiqing is good at, I should use it." Zhu Youxiao looked at Bi Maokang, nodded with a smile and said, "Aiqing go back and wait!" ”

Bi Maokang was stunned, so he went back and waited?

However, Bi Maokang also knows that His Majesty wants to use himself, and he still has to use his own strengths. But what is going on, Bi Maokang doesn't know for the time being!

It's just that he couldn't ask this, so Bi Maokang had to bow down and say, "The minister retires!" With that, he bowed and withdrew.

Looking at the back of Bi Maokang leaving, Zhu Youxiao reached out and knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair with an expressionless face.

Although Zhu Youxiao wanted to discuss with Bi Maokang about the casting of new weapons, now was not the time.

Another key issue is the casting of new weapons, which needs to be figured out. It's just how to figure it out, it's a question.

Leave it to the Ministry of War? No kidding.

Zhu Youxiao, the ordnance of the Ministry of War, knew that half of the money smashed would be used for ordnance casting.

Many people have studied why the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were so advanced, but they were not popularized and promoted on a large scale? Why is Qi Jiguang's firearms unit so advanced, and even the Shenji Battalion in the early Ming Dynasty is so powerful, but it will not work at the end of the Ming Dynasty?

The answer is simple, because the money has been embezzled, and no one has bothered to mint it.

First of all, ordinary ordnance such as knives and guns, embezzlement of single-minded money, and the use of substandard iron. You can't see it. But on the battlefield, the blade breaks, and these happen from time to time, so that places like Liaodong have to use military salaries to cast additional weapons.

Why don't you file a lawsuit?

Because it is the Ministry of War that has the ordnance, you can sue for a try. This also led to a surge in the cost of armaments in the Ming Dynasty.

Because there was a war in the local area, they had to forge their own ordnance, which also led to the misappropriation of military salaries, and the salaries of Tuntian and the imperial court were only enough to feed some of the soldiers and make them capable of fighting, and these people were the generals' own soldiers.

The rest of the military households could only farm the land and exist like slaves. Do you expect these people to give the court a desperate effort?

Don't make trouble, if you don't rebel, you will be given face.

As for firearms, seven or eight out of ten people blow up the chamber, you can try it, and you will be terrified when you hold it. put a shot, and before he could hit someone, he was blown up all over his face.

Think about the multi-stage shooting of the musket of Yunnan Qianguogong, it was in the early Ming Dynasty, but now? What has it done?

Zhu Youxiao had a feeling of hating iron but not steel, and then he wanted to kill someone.

The other is to hate the Ming Emperor's incompetence, because at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ming Dynasty established a pro-military system in order to prevent the abolition of the military department and the disobedience of some people.

What is the so-called pro-army?

Just look at the Jinyi Guard, this is a military force that is exclusively under the orders of the emperor, and it is the guarantee of the emperor's authority. What now? Except for Jinyi Wei Yaowu Yaowei, where did the rest of the pro-army come from?

All of them have become a place for nobles and relatives to eat empty salaries and receive money, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Beijing, and the garbage is terrible.

In addition to the pro-military system, in order not to be stuck in the ordnance, the imperial court also established a military war bureau.

The War Bureau belongs to the Eighth Bureau of the Ming Dynasty to manufacture military equipment and iron tools for spare use in the palace. This is also a very important yamen, which is used to ensure that the pro-army armament is excellent. The military bureau was in charge of the eunuchs, which could ensure the quality of the ordnance, because if the emperor did not do a good job, he could directly kill people.

But where is all this?

After the change of Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty did decline. But in Zhu Youxiao's view, it is not the national strength that declines, and a big defeat does not reduce the decline of the Ming Dynasty, but the decline of imperial power and the decline of centralized power.

Shi Dafu took the opportunity to seize power, especially Yu Qian's reform of Jingying, and Xungui was completely squeezed out of the center of power. The civil government took advantage of the situation, and the gentry completely seized power in the country.

They suppressed the nobles and generals, and the authority of the cabinet was elevated to the point of no return.

The resulting series of consequences made the Ming Dynasty completely slide into the abyss, so that the emperor could only use eunuchs to regain his power, and then began a eunuch politics that lasted for more than a hundred years.

Zhu Youxiao had a lot of thoughts in his mind, stretched out his hand and beckoned to Chen Hong, and then said, "Push me there!" ”

Chen Hong hurriedly walked over and pushed Zhu Youxiao into the sun.

Feeling the warm sunshine, Zhu Youxiao gently closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, but he had already planned in his mind.

If you want to take out a large interest group, it is not advisable to go head-on. On the one hand, it will kill 8,000 enemies and lose 800 itself, and secondly, it will kill this interest group, where is the new replacement? No replacement will only cause chaos, and you won't do that yourself.

So what if you take out a huge interest group?

The simple answer is that it is best to foster a new interest group to replace it.

Zhu Youxiao is ready to do this.

Since the military department and the military war bureau are unreliable, they simply reopen from scratch. As for the military department, let them do it first, and when they finish doing it on their own side, then they will swallow the military department directly.

At that time, it will be the time for him to settle accounts with those people in the military department, anyway, Zhu Youxiao feels that there must be a wrongful death for all the civilian officials of the Ming Dynasty.

But if two and a half of the three people are killed, they must all die well, and this knife will be picked up sooner or later.

The capital seems to be calm, but there are waves underneath. The three law divisions began the trial of framing Xiong Tingbi's case, originally everyone thought that this was not a big deal, but the case was in their own hands, can this still be considered a matter?

But when they saw Wei Zhongxian, who was sitting there with an old god, everyone's expressions felt like they had eaten flies.

Wei Zhongxian didn't notice it, put down the teacup in his hand, and said lightly: "Our family came to listen to the order of His Majesty, and if we don't express our opinions, you adults can let go of the interrogation." ”

The people present glanced at each other, and their eyes all showed worry, how did this case get started? Everyone knows it.

Everyone impeached Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian retaliated, and this case of framing Xiong Tingbi was basically concocted by Wei Zhongxian. Everyone wasted a lot of effort to get the case to the Three Law Divisions, in such a situation, how could Wei Zhongxian have no resentment in his heart? Now that he has come to hear the trial, won't he all have to speak ill of his own people when he goes back?

Although I was worried, I couldn't help it, everyone knew that there was no way to change it, and it was impossible to even advise.

If you want Your Majesty not to send someone to hear the trial, then what do you want to do?

Now that Your Majesty has distrusted these people, if you do this again, it will definitely be a big deal, and maybe Your Majesty will be angry.

In such a situation, everyone's eyes focused on Yang Lian, after all, he was the chief judge.
