After Chongzhen killed Tang Ruowang, he ordered Jinyiwei to arrest and kill the missionaries who were preaching in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many ministers who didn't understand why the emperor wanted to kill these missionaries, but they didn't dare to intercede, because Pang Tianshou, the eunuch who pleaded for mercy, was about to be sent to heaven!

Chongzhen's extra-large Kong Ming lantern made by the Ministry of Engineering is about to fly test, Pang Tianshou was baptized by Tang Ruowang, and also became a Jesuit believer, didn't the Jesuit say that they were going to see God, Chongzhen really let them go to see God this time!

Kong Ming lantern was invented by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang was besieged by Sima Yi in Pingyang, the whole army was helpless, Zhuge Liang came up with a clever plan, calculated the direction of the wind, ordered people to bring thousands of blank papers, paste into countless lanterns, and then use the gravitational force of smoke upward to take them into the air, a small lantern rose, and the soldiers in the battalion shouted: "Mr. Zhuge is sitting on the sky lantern to break through!" Sima Yi actually believed it and led his troops to chase in the direction of the sky lantern, and Zhuge Liang was able to escape. Therefore, later generations called this kind of lantern "Kong Ming lantern".

In fact, Kong Ming lantern is the originator of hot air balloons. Chongzhen drew the drawings of the hot air balloon, and asked the people of the Ministry of Engineering to make a hot air balloon according to the drawings, the hot air balloon was fueled by resin, and Chongzhen planned to use the hot air balloon to defend the city and spy on the military. The hot air balloon was raised at 100 meters above the air, if the Qing army came to attack the city, the Qing army could see it from a long distance, and when the Qing army besieged the city, the Qing army's bows and arrows could only shoot at most fifty meters, while the Ming army could drop firearms and explosives from above.

"Your Majesty, can this thing really fly" Cao Huachun asked Chongzhen with a smile as he looked at the big ball that was about to ignite and take off.

"You'll know when you look at it"

The craftsmen propped up the balloon, lit it, and soon the resin began to burn, and in a few moments, the balloon was bulging.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life" Pang Tianshou pleaded in the cradle of the hot air balloon, although he was not tied up, but the soldiers around him were holding spears at him, and he did not dare to escape.

"Spare what's life? I will let you go to Heaven and God as Father John Tong said, we have rope underneath, and when the hot air balloon is raised, you see the red flag waving, and gradually reduce the resin; Remember, keep the heat under control, or you'll fall."

"Your Majesty...... The villain knew that he was wrong, the emperor ....." Pang Tianshou cried and pleaded with a sad face, and now that the hot air balloon has begun to shake, he is so panicked that he beeps! Trembling violently in the cradle!

"Don't be afraid, don't you Jesuits say God will bless you?"

"Your Majesty, there is no God, only the Emperor can bless me, Your Majesty, you are my heaven, I will listen to you, Your Majesty, please let me come down"

"If you listen to me, just don't move inside, the more you move, the more likely you are to fall down, you see people putting Kong Ming lanterns, nothing happens"

Chongzhen looked at Pang Tianshou's crying face and said.

"It's really rising! Your Majesty, look, the hot air balloon has really risen" Although Cao Huachun is already an old eunuch in his fifties, he is as happy as a child when he sees the hot air balloon slowly rising into the sky.

"You can really fly!"

"God bless Daming, with this artifact, who are you afraid of attacking the city!"

"God bless Daming!"

A group of officials saw the hot air balloon carrying Pang Tianshou slowly rising, higher than the city wall, and they all knew that with this magic in the future, they would no longer be afraid of someone coming to attack the city, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty sat in the hot air balloon and threw explosives down, and the enemy below could not hurt the soldiers in the hot air balloon! They all knelt down and kowtowed to the hot air balloon!

Alas, alas, why are you kneeling towards a eunuch, this hot air balloon is designed by me Chongzhen!

"Wave the red flag!" Chongzhen said.

Cao Huachun hurriedly asked the soldiers to wave the red flag, but Pang Tianshou in the cradle didn't dare to look down at all, he had already peed two pants, it was so high, it was so high, it scared the baby to death.

Cao Huachun saw that Pang Tianshou was not on the road when he saw the hot air balloon in the sky, so he said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty, Pang Tianshou is too timid, he may not be able to see the signal."

"Let the soldiers keep waving the red flag, shouting to the above, reduce the fire"

"Let's reduce the fire together" Cao Huachun conveyed Chongzhen's will.

"Reduce the fire! Reduce the fire! ”

Pang Tianshou was no longer as scared as he was when he was on the ground, at this time he heard the shouts of the people on the ground, remembered the emperor's words, began to reduce the amount of fire, and the hot air balloon began to land gradually.

When Pang Tianshou landed safely on the ground, a group of officials came over to hug him excitedly, not noticing that he was peeing his pants.

Chongzhen happily returned to the palace, and the success of the hot air balloon experiment made him no longer worry about the Qing army and Li Zicheng. The military power of the Ministry of War is also in his own hands!

Since the killing of Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the vacancy of the Ministry of War has been empty, and later Liu Tongsheng, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, was also killed, and the biggest official of the Ministry of War was Ni Yuanlu, and Ni Yuanlu had just been transferred to the Ministry of Officials by Chongzhen. Therefore, the biggest official of the Ministry of War is now Lang Zhong and Lang Wai Lang of the Five Grades, the emperor does not appoint officials, and those people in the Ministry of War are also happy to be relaxed - anyway, it is not that you and I can be the king, there is no tiger and monkey in the mountains to be the king.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di have been the sons of heaven immediately, and the emperor has firmly controlled the military power, but since the Tumubao Change, the Ming Dynasty emperor can not easily drive the military conquest, and over time, the military power has gradually entered the hands of the cabinet civil officials. Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao once wanted to call on military power, but Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet at that time, refused to draft an order to mobilize the army, and later Zhu Houzhao had to come up with a way: to make himself the governor of the military affairs of the mighty general and the chief military officer! How sad!

Therefore, what Chongzhen has to do is to empty the Shangshu Shilang of the Ministry of War, so that the right to transfer troops of the Ministry of War can directly issue an edict through the emperor! Zhu Houzhao also made an attempt back then, but Zhu Houzhao didn't have so much courage - Li Dongyang compromised with the threat of resignation, Zhu Houzhao!

What's more, the current army of the Ming Dynasty is the Nanjing 49 Guards who were mobilized by the Nanjing Military Department, Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, and the 80,000 Tianzi Guards recruited by Bailice throughout the country.

Chongzhen issued a holy decree and transmitted it to various military guards: Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Due to the dereliction of responsibility of the military department, it is unfavorable to suppress bandits and eliminate demons, resulting in the world's rogues everywhere, and the demons are chaotic.

With the fall of the cabinet led by Wei Zaode, Chongzhen did not set up another cabinet, Zhang Jinyan Chen Yan was raided, Li Yuzhi told the old man to return to his hometown, and no one in the court could stand up against Chongzhen. The officials can see from Chongzhen's operation that whoever stands up will be able to catch his pigtails for opening the door and surrendering Li Zicheng! Those who obediently followed Chongzhen, such as Wei Zaode became the president of Daming Daily, Ni Yuanlu and Liu Lishun were also promoted to the later team Chongzhen. With such a comparison, who else will oppose Chongzhen.

Besides, Shaanxi and Henan were ceded to Li Zicheng, and only Beizhili, Shanxi, and Shandong were left in the north. The government affairs in the south are in charge of the six departments of Nanjing.

Of course, in addition to the transfer of troops from the Ministry of War, Chongzhen also has his own personal soldiers!

When Bailice was recruiting troops in Shanxi, Chongzhen issued a holy decree to him, asking him to recruit, Tianziwei!

Tian Ziwei imitated the Chinese military service system in the 21st century: recruited from all over the country, aged 16-20, with four years of military service, ten taels of silver per year, and two acres of land for his family. After retiring from the army, they can return to their hometowns in fine clothes and can be assigned to local armed forces. If he dies in battle, his family can get a pension of one hundred taels of silver! Tianziwei also combined the Ming Dynasty's tuntian system and conscription system, Tianziwei guarded Beijing, and only the Son of Heaven could be mobilized!

The guards of the Ming Dynasty implemented the tuntian system, generation after generation of military households, a large number of tuntian was occupied by the gentry and the generals, and the military households became the free labor of the gentry and the generals. So the Ming Dynasty increased the conscription system, but the conscription system also had a disadvantage, that is, it was very expensive to raise soldiers.

Chongzhen copied the homes of several ministers, and there were a lot of fertile fields, which just happened to alleviate the cost of Tianzi Wei Tuntian. The four-year military service system has made the soldiers of Tianziwei the best of the best soldiers. And the soldiers of Tianziwei entered the local armed forces after retiring, which was just right to increase the emperor's influence in the local armed forces!

Public opinion has Daming Bao to beat the Donglin Party, the divine power is there, and the military power also has the Tianziwei, this emperor is temporarily sitting firm, and it is my turn to choose some concubines.

Chongzhen thought, hehe, I crossed over, the harem is all the women of Chongzhen before, I, a simple little virgin in my previous life. TV series and novels are all deceptive, the male protagonist will meet one beauty after another in the development of the plot, and I, after a few months, the woman I met outside is Wei Chunrou, an ancient woman, who does not show her head!

I want to choose a concubine, just choose ten or eight, tsk.
