The four of them discussed and finally decided to let Ni Yuanlu urge the progress of the miniaturization of the cannon, and Sun Chengzong went to coordinate Yuan Chonghuan in Ningyuan and Mao Wenlong in Phidao, so that they could organize people to listen to the orders of the imperial court in time, and once they received the order, they would send troops to harass Jinzhou and Jinzhou, so that Huining could quickly repair the favor of the prince. The latest chapter of this book was first published by Shuhe Yuan Keli took hundreds of people to Ningyuan to do anti-smashing tests, to see how thick the iron plate of the modified serial warship can resist the shells of the Hongyi cannon, and at the same time to see how big the serial warship can be loaded with multiple iron armor, and finally how many cannons can be fired.

Yuan Keli has no opinion, anyway, he is not in a hurry to go to Fuzhou, and Ning Yuan is his old territory, and it is easy to get help, but the apocalypse told him not to have the idea of ten thousand ships and ten thousand cannons at the same time. First, the imperial court does not have so much silver, and it must have the attitude of 'how many noodles are made and how many big buns', and secondly, it is also for the safety of the Ming Dynasty, there are really so many gunboats, no one can restrain them, don't drive away the red-haired foreigners, Taiwan will become a place of rebellion after the red-haired foreigners, c If there are rebels relying on Taiwan to make rebellion, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong coastal areas may become places to be robbed, and when the time comes, it will be necessary to quell the rebellion, but the rebels have tens of thousands of gunboats, and it will be difficult to counterbalance the rebellion.

After a busy day, when Tianqi returned to the palace, he rested for a while, and heard a report from someone that Zhang Chunying and Zhang Meiren gave birth to another princess, and asked Tianqi if he wanted to visit. As soon as Tianqi heard this, he immediately went to Zhang Chunying's residence to see her, and as soon as he entered the gate of Zhang Chunying's residence, he saw many palace maids and eunuchs waiting on both sides, and Tianqi knew that many people had come to visit Zhang Chunying. In the face of everyone's salute, Tianqi waved his hand and entered the house, only to see Zhang Chunying's face pale and a little prostration, lying on the bed, the queen and Feng Siqin were all talking to her on the side, and when they saw Tianqi coming in, they were all greetings.

Tianqi approached the bedside and looked at Zhang Chunying's sweat-soaked hair, took her hand and said, "You have worked hard, don't talk now, you have to cultivate your spirits more, and I will come to see you when you are well." ”

Zhang Chunying nodded slightly, and the palace maid next to her hugged the baby and came over to show it to the apocalypse, only to see a small and ugly face on a long package, with pink skin in the red and a pair of squinted eyes, she couldn't see how beautiful it would be in the future, her mouth was slightly deflated, and she was still sobbing slightly, obviously she had just cried, it seemed that she didn't want to come to this world yet.

Apocalypse waved his hand and let people take it away, and then said to the palace maid: "Send more people to take care of their mother and daughter, and take everything you need but need, and report any situation to me in time without delay." After speaking, he left and went back to the Qianqing Palace to rest. Apocalypse originally lived in the Qianqing Palace, and later moved out to live in the Yangxin Palace when the Qianqing Palace caught fire, and then became sick and needed to be close to the topaz pressing at the bottom of the tower to calm the mind, so he returned to the Qianqing Palace to live in the Heavenly Palm.

This person has a time and place that suits him, for example, the difference in time is very important to a person, and some people like to write and write articles at night, because he thinks that at that time the memory is best to be able to memorize half a book in one night. Some people like to read in the morning in the morning, because they feel that morning reading will bring him full body pleasure, and if they don't read in the morning, they will not be comfortable all day, which can be said to be an addiction to reading in the morning. Some people like to be lazy in the afternoon, some people like the short quiet time in the evening, and some people like to get up in the middle of the night to look at the moon and enjoy the solitude and silence without the noise of the day.

People also have different adaptations to the place, some people like to live in the study, and even have half a bed of books piled up on his bed, because then he can get some kind of insight from the book at any time. There are also people who spend most of their time in his tent, watching the day's money and goods come in and out, he will feel fulfilled in the future planning and past summary, and some people like to have a group of people around him, and it is also one of his great pleasures to point out the praise and disapproval of the country. Of course, there are also people who like to be quiet, sitting under the grape trellis every day with a pot of tea alone, doing nothing but reminiscing about the past under the sunset at dusk.

Topaz was taken from western Sichuan and then put it in the Qianqing Palace, the Qianqing Palace became a place where the apocalypse calmed down and pondered things, as soon as there was something difficult to solve, he would lie on the couch alone and think, and if he could figure out a way, he would ask someone to write it down, and he couldn't think of a way to estimate that he would fall asleep the next day.

After Tianqi returned to the Qianqing Palace from Zhang Chunying's residence, he lay on the couch and wanted to ask questions, so that the two palace maids gently shook the fan next to him, he thought that there was King Xin and a group of old ministers to help him in government affairs, and he didn't have to think about anything, not to mention that there was nothing worth caring about now, at most, there was still a little disaster relief and finishing affairs, anyway, the people and materials and money were fully prepared, and as soon as the affairs of western Liaoning were settled, some people from Shaanxi and Shanxi could be moved over. The affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the biggest task is to do a solid job in the four-level auxiliary political system, and the biggest problem in perfecting the four-level auxiliary administrative system is the recruitment of qualified personnel.

In order to recruit as many useful talents as possible, this year's big competition is the happiest big competition for scholars, those who have been selected through moral articles are all pulled to the holy academy to listen to the teachings of the old ministers, and after the completion of the work, they are directly sent to the auxiliary political institutions of the provinces and state capitals to work, and the apocalypse said that the main officials at the state and county levels in the future will be selected locally, so that everyone's enthusiasm will be greatly increased. Those who did not get admitted were also given the opportunity to use new knowledge such as mathematics, machinery, and medicine for the second time, and everyone had something to do, but according to their grades, they were given different positions, and all of them were given the same jinshi background as the whole country, and those who were interested were also trained to be supervisors in the army.

Now the most troublesome thing for the apocalypse is military affairs, there is no trivial matter in military affairs, even if Sun Chengzong is trustworthy, he must figure out the ins and outs, lest he really make a mistake when he makes a decision, the matter of marching and fighting is related to the safety of the country, and the slightest mistake may cause irreparable disasters. Now the north and the Mongols and Jurchens can not think much about it for the time being, after more than a year of fighting between the two sides, the Jurchens have the upper hand, and the Mongols retreat westward and fall into internal strife and temporarily come to an end, the Ming army moved forward a little and fought steadily and steadily, while not being greedy to occupy more space, leaving some space for the Jurchens and the Mongols to fight.

At present, the Southeast Military Region has the idea of gradually expelling the red-haired foreigners occupying Taiwan, and with the current strength and equipment of the Ming army, this idea is obviously a matter of being overly high-handed, and without strength or means, no matter how confident and the idea is, it will be all in vain. However, we must think deeply about everything, because Taiwan is isolated and does not connect with each other by land, and if we do not want to find a way to solve it in a short period of time, but blindly delay or irresponsibly want the next generation to solve it, then it is very likely that abnormal changes will occur again. The Red-Haired Foreigners are only temporarily occupied, and if one day they start to build and colonize cities, or even start to immigrate from their own countries, it will be even more difficult to uproot them.

In fact, the immigration of red-haired foreigners is not the worst result, after all, they are thousands of miles away from home to take root on the edge of the Ming Dynasty and establish a country, just like the high-rise buildings built on the beach will collapse if they are pushed, and if they really want to get the support of the locals, it is equivalent to taking root, and it will be difficult to clear it at that time. Now it is said that the red-haired foreigners are still brutally oppressing and bloody suppression of Taiwan's aborigines, and the most that they have taken refuge in them are some dogs without long bones, which shows that the red-haired foreigners only want to get a vote and leave, and they have no long-term strategic vision to occupy Taiwan, which is not worth more.

But once some of the red-haired foreigners open their minds, give more gentle policies to care for ordinary people, and take out their set of democratic and equal things to bewitch people's hearts, things will slide in an unpredictable direction.c In that case, after one generation or two generations, Taiwanese people only know the benefits brought to them by red-haired people, and forget that they still have the blood passed down from their ancestors, and it is not impossible for them to hate the Ming Dynasty with their hearts. You can't say that the other one is a thief who betrays his ancestors as his father, the problem is that your biological father and mother have not fulfilled their responsibilities, even if the red-haired foreigners leave later, the Taiwanese will not return to the Ming Dynasty and will think about making an independent ugly concubine raid: please pose well.

Therefore, generally speaking, Taiwan's affairs are not very urgent, but they cannot be delayed, and it is unrealistic to estimate where they will go back and forth through negotiations with the red-haired foreigners, and the only way is to talk to them with artillery, swords, and guns, and this task falls on the shoulders of the Southeast Military Region. Yuan Keli's three demands are the prerequisites for resolving the problem, that is, measures such as lifting the ban on marquis, making it easier for artillery to board ships, and building large ships with iron armor.

Tianqi was thinking about it, so he listened to Tan Jing next to him and asked softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to arrange dinner, where to eat or just eat here." ”

Tianqi looked up and looked outside, and saw that it was not early, so he thought for a while and said, "Go to Feng Huifei's place tonight and send someone to tell him that I will eat at her place." ”

After Tan Jing agreed, he immediately sent someone to Feng Siqin's place to spread the word, Tianqi got up and changed his clothes, and then slowly went to Feng Siqin's residence. Tianqi wanted to go to Feng Siqin's place because she remembered Feng Siqin's words two days ago, she actually said that the idea of the Military Affairs Institute was the opinion of a scholar, and later Sun Chengzong also admitted that he had not thought about it enough, it can be seen that Feng Siqin is still a little smart, maybe Yuan Keli's three questions can also be asked about her. Since you can find someone to ask, there is no need to bother with your own brains, Tianqi remembered the words of a long-lived old man, that is, if you can not worry about it, try not to worry about it, and if you can let others worry about it, you don't have to worry about it, this is the way to live a long life.

When I arrived at Feng Siqin's residence, I saw Feng Siqin coming out with a few palace maids to greet her, and Tianqi took her hand and said, "I saw you at Zhang Chunying's place today and felt that I had something to say to you, and then I remembered that there were a few troubles to ask you, so let's go in and talk slowly." With that, he walked in and sat down.

Feng Siqin came in and sat down, dismissed the palace maids on the left and right, and then asked, "Does the emperor have any important things to ask the concubines?" ”

Apocalypse then said Yuan Keli's three requests, Feng Siqin thought about it and smiled: "This idea of iron chains is interesting, the disadvantages of serial ships have been said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and it is indeed bold for others to think like this." However, according to the concubine, everything has an answer, and there is no need to bother to think about it, the answer is in the question, that is, the iron lock chain itself. ”
