In fact, when the little prince of Warat first entered the capital, Zhang Lingyang already had the idea of letting Warat completely return to the Great Zhou from now on.

But there are some ideas, even if Zhang Lingyang has the heart to say that he will listen to Sun Dingan and Zheng Yongji, he is afraid that the two of them will not be able to understand it for a while, so Zhang Lingyang will not explain to the two of them.

In fact, in the final analysis, the reason why Zhang Lingyang made such a request last night was because of 'firearms'.

Of course, the firearms of this era are actually still in the era of arquebuses, and compared with flintlock pistols, the lethality is not great, and even the use of knives and guns is not as easy.

Zhang Lingyang naturally did not pin his hopes on the arquebus.

Instead, he pinned his hopes on another big killing weapon, and that was the bomb!

In fact, compared to muskets, bombs are more powerful and the process is simpler.

Although Zhang Lingyang still does not know whether the European powers have made a breakthrough in firearms at this time.

However, judging from the situation in the surrounding countries of the Great Zhou, Europe has not yet extended its influence to East Asia.

That is, at this time, the industrial revolution of the European powers had not yet arrived.

If the Industrial Revolution had broken out in Europe, the situation around the Great Zhou would not have been so stable.

Do it when you think of it, this is Zhang Lingyang's consistent practice.

After Sun Ding'an and Zheng Yongji returned in defeat, Zhang Lingyang ordered someone to call Feng Xi, the commander of Dongchang, Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Xiao Fuzi, the eunuch of the imperial horse supervisor.

After the three of them came in, Zhang Lingyang said: "I want to set up a firearms department, and Jinyiwei will look for talents in this area, and the East Factory will be responsible for safety.

In addition, the Imperial Store and the Bank were separated from the Imperial Horse Guard, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor was in charge of the Dragon Guards and the Tiger Guards in the future.

The Commercial Superintendent was set up to be responsible for the affairs of the Imperial Merchants, the Imperial Stores and the Bank. ”

Unlike Jinyiwei, although he is known as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, he is engaged in supervision, interrogation and other affairs, Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei are responsible for the safety of the Son of Heaven, and they are the real pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

Moreover, whether it is Long Xiangwei or Hu Xiangwei, the appointment of its personnel is decided by the Son of Heaven alone, and the ministers have no right to interfere.

Of course, the salaries of Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei were also allocated by the Son of Heaven.

There are not many people in Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei, each with a scale of about 3,000 people.

Compared with Jingying, the number of Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei is naturally far from being comparable.

But the Jingying has always been in the hands of the nobles, and even if Zhang Lingyang is the emperor, it is not so simple to take back the military power.

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang thought about building Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei into an all-firearms army.

"Plus!" Glancing at Sun Sheng next to him, Zhang Lingyang said: "Let people go to Jiangnan, Guangdong, Fujian and other coastal areas to invite some Xiyi businessmen to enter Beijing, I have something to ask." ”

"Minions/Ministers obey!"

Listening to Zhang Lingyang's instructions, there was a hint of loss in Xiao Fuzi's eyes.

But a hint of joy flashed in Feng Xi's eyes.

Sun Sheng and Han Xiao have no sorrow or joy.

Originally, the reason why the Imperial Horse Supervisor was able to become the second most powerful yamen in the palace after the celebrant was because the Imperial Horse Supervisor had the Dragon Guard and the Tiger Ben Guard in his hands.

Now, the power of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has been separated, and it is no wonder that Xiaofuzi can be happy!

And the reason why Feng Xi was happy was also because of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

In the past year, with Zhang Lingyang's series of business layouts, the status of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has naturally risen.

And Xiaofuzi was even more because of this, faintly suppressing Feng Xi in the palace.

Dongchang seems to have a lot of power, but no matter how small the power is, it can't compare to the Imperial Horse Supervisor who has mastered the money bag and the barrel of the gun.

Now, the Imperial Horse Prison has been split into two, and Feng Xi is naturally very happy.

And whether the Imperial Horse Supervisor is divided or not, it will not affect Sun Sheng's power.

After all, the eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant has the privilege of approving red, which is something that the rest of the eunuchs can't envy.

Therefore, Sun Sheng has always maintained an attitude of ignoring the expansion of the power of the original imperial horse supervisor.

As for Han Xiao?

Han Xiao didn't care anymore, after all, no matter how the Imperial Horse Supervisor was divided, the Jinyi Guard would not get any benefit.

The expressions of Sun Sheng and the others, Zhang Lingyang naturally saw them clearly.

Therefore, without waiting for Feng Xi to be happy, Zhang Lingyang spoke again: "Xiao Xizi has been transferred to the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor Palm Seal, and he is specifically responsible for the affairs of Long Xiangwei and Hu Benwei.

As for Xiaofuzi......" After hesitating for a while, Zhang Lingyang said: "Xiaofuzi replaced Xiaoxizi and became the eunuch of the East Factory. ”

As he spoke, a hint of narrowness flashed in Zhang Lingyang's eyes.

"Slave thanks, long live the grace of God!" Hearing this, Xiao Fuzi, who was originally in a low mood, was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

Feng Xi was completely stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and knelt down with Xiao Fuzi, "Slave thank you for the grace of God!" ”

At this time, Sun Sheng asked suspiciously: "Long live the lord, who is more suitable to be the chief eunuch of the newly established commercial supervisor?" ”

"Just Xiao Wuzi!" didn't want to think about it, Zhang Lingyang said.

Previously, Xiao Wuzi showed a series of his commercial methods, which made Zhang Lingyang appreciate him very much.

Hearing this, whether it is Feng Xi or Xiao Fuzi, they are both envious and jealous of Xiao Wuzi.

Fortunately, Xiao Wuzi is not here at this time, otherwise he doesn't know how to behave?

After all, whether it was Feng Xi or Xiao Fuzi, their status in the past was higher than him.

Now, he is not only on an equal footing with Feng Xi and Xiaofuzi, but even faintly overpowering them.

If Xiaofuzi is the mulberry elm that has been lost in the east, then Feng Xi has fallen into the swamp like a cloud.

Glancing at Feng Xi again, Zhang Lingyang said with a smile: "As for the errand of the Firearms Bureau, Xiao Xizi is also in charge!" ”

"Minions, thank you, Long Live Lord!" If Feng Xi's gratitude was reluctant before, then at this moment Feng Xi was convinced, and even trembled a little with excitement.

"If nothing else, kneel down!" After Zhang Lingyang asked Feng Xi and the others to retreat, he sat on the dragon chair and thought carefully to see if there were any mistakes.

The reason why Zhang Lingyang appointed Feng Xi as the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch was because among the eunuchs in the palace, only Feng Xi was the most powerful.

Although Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei are not elite troops, they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

If the person in charge of the two is a soft person, I am afraid that the people below will not give in willingly.

After all, the army is a place where the strong are respected, and everything must be spoken by force.

Although Feng Xi is a eunuch, his force value is not low, and Zhang Lingyang believes that Feng Xi can master the Dragon Guards and Tiger Guards.

After all, before he was appointed as the governor of Dongchang, Feng Xi served as the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he knew the situation of Long Xiangwei and Hu Xiangwei very well.
