With Fulin's ascension to the throne, Jingshi and Shenyang have a little emperor, far away.

The Ming Dynasty's defensive position gradually turned into an offensive, while Jianyu turned into a defensive position, and both sides were silently licking their wounds, waiting for recovery.

By September, officials from all over the country had returned to Beijing one after another, including Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang's return to Beijing seems to be uneventful, but in fact, many people want to see what actions Zhou Zheng, a former opponent, will make.

Zhou Yanru sat in the first assistant, and as he straightened out various affairs, he became more and more long-sleeved and good at dancing, and gradually controlled the government, as if he was a real first assistant, shrouding Zhou Zhengdu.

Zhou Zhengze is still focused on his reforms, and his eyes are almost all on Nanzhili.

Nanzhili is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty, if this place can be reformed properly, other places are not only for reference, but even for the past, it is not a problem at all.

Zhou Zheng didn't have so much energy to spread out in the entire Daming, and he couldn't even do it.

Qian Qianyi is becoming more and more cautious, doing his things peacefully, rarely showing his head, Guo Weiwei's character of running around all day and talking nonsense has changed, and he is quite 'calm'.

Li Banghua, a neutral minister, is in charge of military logistics, money and food supply, armament research and development, replacement, soldier recruitment, training, and some supervision and many other powers.

In fact, most of the power is concentrated in logistics.

As for Yang Sichang, who returned to Beijing, Zhou Yanru has not assigned him to be in charge of affairs, as if he intends to hang him.

Zhou Zheng and Zhang Heyi and others were visiting the Ordnance Bureau outside the city at this time.

In the Ordnance Bureau, there were not only firearms experts in the Ming Dynasty, such as Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang and others, but also some Xiyi people, who were recruited from Macao and other places.

Zhou Zheng touched a few style cannons, rushing to be cold and heavy, and he had a lot of confidence in his heart.

Zhang Heyi followed Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "My lord, this new type of captivity cannon, the effective shelling range is within five miles, and the gunpowder has also been improved, whether it is a siege or a field battle, the power is huge!" ”

Zhou Zheng touched the artillery, nodded lightly, and said: "Well, we must continue to work hard, in the future war, this thing will be the key to victory." Whether on land or at sea. ”

Zhang Heyi greeted him and said, "My lord, go and see the birds." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded, and a large group of people followed, each with different expressions.

Song Yingxing and others were delighted, Zhou Zheng's recruitment of Xibo could come in person, which was a great encouragement to them.

Coming to the black spears in a row, Zhang Heyi introduced: "These bird guns, combined with the advantages of the Ming Dynasty and Xiyi, have a long range and great power, the only disadvantage is that they are not easy to change ammunition, and they are also easy to explode." ”

Zhou Zheng listened and nodded secretly, this is not a problem of manufacturing technology, but the process technology cannot be reached.

Zhou Zheng touched and tried for a while, and continued to walk forward.

Zhang Heyi saw that Zhou Zheng didn't say much, continued to walk forward, and introduced slowly, obviously he was also thinking about it.

"This is armor, the Ordnance Bureau is developing some light and hard armor, and will equip soldiers with ...... in the future"

"These weapons, all kinds, sharp and tough, far more than ever ......"

"My lord, these are grenades, they are extremely easy to use, and they are not ...... powerful."

"This is a model of a naval warship developed by the Ordnance Bureau, equipped with 50 artillery pieces and 200 soldiers......"

Zhou Zheng walked all the way, listening to Zhang Heyi's introduction, and nodded secretly.

In the end, Zhou Zheng looked at Song Yingxing and the others and said, "I will allocate another 500,000 yuan to you and continue to work hard." In addition, I am considering adjusting the level of the Ordnance Bureau, which is subsumed into the Ministry of War, and is headed by the squire, who is in charge, and all official positions at all levels are promoted. ”

Song Yingxing and the others looked overjoyed, and hurriedly raised their hands and said, "Xiaguan will wait for Xie Zheng Xibo to promote." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "Do a good job, the court will not treat meritorious people badly." ”

Song Yingxing was naturally overjoyed and worshiped each other again.

Zhou Zheng not only gave money, but also promoted officials, such a good thing, how can they not be happy.

Zhou Zheng had lunch with the Ordnance Bureau before returning to Beijing.

On the way, Zhou Zheng and Zhang Heyi heard all kinds of things in Beijing.

Zhang Heyi pondered, and said with a strange expression: "My lord, does Yuan Fu want to see your attitude, or does he deliberately divide you and Yang Ge Lao, and want to check and balance?" ”

Zhou Zheng also shook his head with a smile, Zhou Yanru has to look at his face and act, and he wants to use Yang Sichang to balance him?

Liu Liuzhen glanced at the back, waved his hand slightly, and asked them to step back a little, and then said, "Second Young Master, there is news." Li Hengbing has made a lot of moves recently, and it seems that the goal is to enter the cabinet. ”

Li Hengbing, Zhou Zheng has always been unable to see through and guess what he is going to do, so he has been on guard and has never been of great use.

"Cabinet?" Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, squinting his eyes, and looked thoughtful.

Zhang Heyi was also a little surprised, and said, "What is he going to do when he jumps out at this time?" ”

In Zhou Zheng's hands, there are many people with old qualifications who can enter the cabinet, so why can't it be an 'outsider', right?

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said, "Then let's see, what chips this person has." ”

Zhang Heyi suddenly understood, Li Hengbing naturally knew his own weight, if he wanted to enter the cabinet, he had to convince Zhou Zheng and them, otherwise he would not be able to convince the public!

Liu Liuzhen said in a low voice: "Jinyiwei found out that Yang Sichang is in Huguang and Jiangxi, do you want to do something to deal with it?" ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "What we can find is not important." This one must still have something to hide, and one day in the future, he will definitely be pleasantly surprised. ”

Zhang Heyi frowned and said, "My lord, since you are sure that this Yang Ge old man has bad intentions, why don't you strike first?" ”

Zhou Zheng walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and said: "Zhou Yanru represents the old bureaucrats and Jiangnan scholars, Qian Qianyi represents Donglin and Fushe, Yang Sichang is Jiangxi, Shanxi and other places, and Li Banghua is a neutral, these people represent almost all the power classes of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, I need them." ”

Zhang Heyi listened and nodded silently.

With these people, then changing the law is not the 'will of the people' in the world, and it is not a single-minded action, if not, it is against the people of the world.

Zhou Zheng walked for a while and said: "Yao Tongshun, remember, some things of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Rites will be assigned to Yang Sichang, and you will draw up the specifics, breathe with them, and then give Fan Wenjing." ”

Yao Tongshun remembered it carefully, and then said: "My lord, Yuanfu said that the money and food were not enough, and he wanted the adults to allocate some." ”

Zhou Zheng is not short of money and food now, and said casually: "Give him 200,000 yuan." ”

Yao Tong complied and wrote it down in his notebook.

A group of people walked, and Zhang Heyi said again: "My lord, there are more moves in Gansu, and Horqin intends to send a Taiji, that is, the son of their Great Khan, and bring a Gege, who seems to want to marry my Daming." ”

Zhou Zheng immediately understood that Horqin was going to bet on both sides.

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "This matter will be handed over to Yuanfu to do." ”

Zhang Heyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled thoughtfully: "Yes, I'll go to Yuanfu when I go back, just right, I'll talk to him about 200,000 yuan." ”
