Except for Bi Ziyan and Huang Kezhang who left the palace because they wanted to avoid suspicion, the other ministers voted together for the court push. Yes, I heard you right, it's the vote. Three votes per person, you can vote less or not. Fang Congzhe stepped forward and said, "The ministers voted for Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting." The clerk wrote the names of the two men on a blank piece of paper, and circled each of them.

Ye Xianggao stepped forward and said, "The ministers voted for Ziyan and Sun Chuanting and Huang Kezhang. The Registrar wrote the third name in the same way, with a circle after each name.

The voting was completed quickly, which made the ministers not very accustomed to this method, but Zhu Youxiao strongly demanded this, and the ministers had no choice. The statistical results are clear at a glance: Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting have ten votes, and Huang Kezhang has seven votes.

Zhu Youxiao asked Sun Chuanting, Bi Ziyan, and Huang Kezhang outside to come in. Then he said: "The results of the court push are here, I am elected by everyone, the head of the household department is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion from Yan, and the former governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, is a scholar of the East Pavilion University with the secretary of the military department." Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the military department, went to Fujian and served as the commander of the South China Sea, responsible for the management of the naval armies of the two places. ”

Fang Congzhe asked: "Your Majesty, this South China Sea Strategy, has not been set up before, I don't know where it is in charge. ”

The Ming Dynasty was generally not permanent, managing the military, government and civil affairs of one or more provinces, and had great power. In the past, there were often economic strategies in the north, but in the south, except for the eradication of the Japanese pirates, there was no economic strategy.

Zhu Youxiao said: "This strategy manages the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and Xinzhou in Japan. With the exception of Nanzhili and Shandong, the naval forces were all subject to the control of the South China Sea Economic Strategy. "Shinshu is a Japanese territory that was secessed, and it is now renamed Shinshu.

Ye Xianggao gasped, the power of this strategy is too great, but Huang Kezhang is nine years older than him, so when he thinks about it, he can rest assured.

Huang Kezhang is naturally overjoyed, he is old, and he just wants to make a great contribution to destroying the country before he dies, and now the emperor has given him so much power, making him one step closer to his goal.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Huang Jingluo, the first thing I did when I went to the south this time was to reorganize the navy, and I decided to abandon the name of the navy and call it the navy in the future." The Ming Navy will become an army comparable to the Guards, and will make immortal contributions to our Ming Dynasty and China. ”

Huang Kezhang knelt down and said: "The old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and he will definitely lay down a big sea frontier and let my Chinese civilization spread in all directions." ”

The Chinese have always considered themselves to be at the center of the world, and other barbarians have nothing useful at all, so they have not been very interested in spreading Chinese civilization to foreign lands. However, in recent years, after the introduction of Western firearms, they have exerted a power that is difficult to achieve with cold weapons, and it is very good for people who understand the Ming Dynasty to know that there are also some things in this world. And Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang are among the correctors.

They recognize that the West is stronger than China, and hope to learn from their strengths and make up for their own weaknesses. Then make their own culture more advanced, and then spread to all parts of the world, to prove to the world that Chinese culture is always the most advanced.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Qing first straighten out the navy, the Ordnance Bureau's flowering bombs are not useful on land now, so they will be supplied to the navy first." I believe that at least there will be no more advanced weapons than us on the sea now, and in a few years, find a reason to occupy Luzon first. ”

Huang Kezhang said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to find the reason, in the thirty-first year of Wanli, the Westerners killed nearly 40,000 Hokkien people in Luzon, and the incident of more than 20 years ago can now be taken out to ask them for compensation." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "It is best to unite between the Spaniards, the Portuguese, and the Dutch and attack one side. Pay attention to the fact that you must be completely sure before you can attack the Westerners, and the battle will be closed in one fell swoop, and you will not delay time. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the Liaodong Jiannu, now we can flatten them." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Rotate to fight." Liaodong is not in a hurry to take it back now, I want to use Liaodong as a training ground to train more guards, and after the destruction of Jiannu, there will be more vicious enemies. Sun Qing is in charge of this matter, and the guards in Shanhaiguan can also be rotated to southern Liaoning to train, and the guards who have already trained well will be transferred to the four towns to replace the guards, this matter is very complicated, but I believe that you will not disappoint my expectations. ”

Sun Chuanting knelt down and said, "Dare not die for Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "In the next few years, let's set it as five years." What we have to do is to strengthen ourselves first. Large-scale agriculture and water conservancy, rent reduction and resettlement of famine, construction of railways, and abolition of health posts. Let the whole world be rich. ”

He waved his hand vigorously and said, "Five years later, I want to let the world know that China has always been the most advanced country in the world, and the Han people are still the best people in the world. If you are willing to naturalize, we will accept it, and if you are unwilling, then we will use cannons to make them accept Chinese culture. ”

Although Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao were a little worried about the emperor's murderous words, people like Sun Chuanting and Huang Kezhang were already too excited to let the barbarians accept the baptism of Chinese civilization tomorrow.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Fang Shoufu is in charge of the overall situation, and Ye Cifu assists and leads the Hanlin Academy to carry out the transformation of the Confucian classics, compile the school textbooks, and formulate education regulations. Xu Ge was responsible for the introduction of Western scientific knowledge and coordinated relations with missionaries, first translating 7,000 books, some of which were used as teaching materials for the Institute. And the missionaries said that the church was not satisfied with the unauthorized change of the missionary content, so they threatened to expel all the missionaries from the territory of China if they did not make changes as we said. ”

Xu Guangqi was in a hurry, and he was about to step forward to speak. Zhu Youxiao pressed down with his hand and said, "I'll talk about it later." Elder Bige should give full play to the role of banks and agricultural cooperatives to ensure the supply of grain and the availability of land for cultivators, at least as long as ordinary people are willing to exert their efforts, they can have no worries about food and clothing. Eradicating the destitute and allowing some landless peasants to work in commercial banks is a prerequisite for the stability of the country. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Elder Sun Ge is responsible for carrying out army reform, and within five years, replace the nation's guard posts with the Guards to improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Cooperate with the Weapons Bureau to continuously improve the power of weapons, and at the same time emphasize the bravery and sense of honor of the soldiers. Huang Shangshu sharpened his knife in the South China Sea, first figured out the relationship between various Western forces, and figured out what they wanted, so that everyone didn't start fighting, and he didn't understand the basic situation of the other party. ”
