Xu Yuqing was originally a backbone member of the Donglin Party. However, since he got together with Niu Juming, the official of the Ministry of War, on the issue of the emperor's personal conquest, he has become a thorn in the side of the court.

While being appreciated by the emperor, Xu Yuqing also became a villain and a fortunate minister in the eyes of the Qing rumors, and his position became more and more elusive to his former colleagues.

As for Jia Jichun, needless to say, he has now completely become a knife in the hands of the emperor.

Although Jia Jichun figured out the emperor's intentions and deviated from them, most of the time he still tried his best to follow the emperor's wishes.

Jia Jichun did this, although the Qing gossip officials in the court were very disdainful, and the government and the opposition were so bad that they had no friends, but his position was one step a year, and he easily reached the high position of the left deputy of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

And the character of Xu Guorong returned to Beijing on the eve of the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting in the third year of Chongzhen, and officially handed over the affairs of inspecting the world's post roads and cleaning up the world's post government that Emperor Chongzhen had handed over to him and another imperial historian of the Imperial Inspectorate, Jiang Sirui.

Soon after Xu Guorong and Jiang Sirui returned to Beijing, they were appointed by Emperor Chongzhen as the deputy governor of the Imperial Prefecture and the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, which were in charge of supervising the affairs of the post office in the world.

The affairs of the post administration are under the management of the Ministry of War, and it is reasonable for them to write to discuss the candidates for the secretary of the Ministry of War.

However, these people wrote to request that Sun Chengzong be removed from the post of secretary of the military department, but it was not because of any conspiracy or because they had misunderstood the emperor's intentions.

The reason for this is only because Sun Chengzong has just been awarded the title of first-class Ning Chengbo.

The civil official group of the Ming Dynasty, whether they were Donglin Party members or non-Donglin Party members, still had a tacit understanding on the issue of treating the clan vassal kings and noble families, and there were few inconsistencies in their attitudes.

Lord Shijue is not allowed to serve as an official of the six departments, which is also an iron law of the Ming court after Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, some very outstanding civil officials such as Liu Ji in the early Ming Dynasty and Wang Yangming in the middle of the Ming Dynasty were originally the pillars of the civil official group, but after being made an earl, they became a member of the noble family, and there was no chance to become a member of the six books or cabinet ministers.

Xungui is either idle at home, or can only serve in military positions, that is, hold hereditary positions in the governor's palace of the five armies in the north and south.

This time, Sun Chengzong made Ning Chengbo a first-class uncle, and as soon as he willed, he became the object of controversy among the Chinese officials of the dynasty.

No one dared to question his position as an auxiliary minister to the cabinet and minister of military aircraft.

After all, after raising this issue against Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua will also be implicated.

It would be basically impossible to dismiss two cabinet ministers from their posts at the same time for this reason.

However, if it is proposed to remove Sun Chengzong from his post as the secretary of the military department, it is very likely.

As soon as these people played a lesson, Emperor Chongzhen quickly understood what they meant.

For him, it's a must-have.

Sun Chengzong hung the name of the secretary of the military department, but when he was in charge of the work of the military department in Beijing, he did not have much, and Emperor Chongzhen had always directly assigned tasks to a few attendants on duty in the military department, and he did not delay anything, on the contrary, the efficiency was higher.

At the same time, it was also to drag Sun Chengzong, a fellow traveler of the Donglin Party, out of the side of the Donglin Party to further muddy the pool of the civil official group, and Emperor Chongzhen quickly agreed to the request of these people.

As for the candidate to succeed Sun Chengzong as the secretary of the military department, Emperor Chongzhen did not ask anyone's opinion.

At the same time as agreeing to remove Sun Chengzong from the post of secretary of the military department, he directly appointed Nan Juyi, the governor of Zhili, to take over this position.

Therefore, the third thing announced at the Shuo Sun Dynasty meeting of the Jianji Hall this time was the appointment of Nan Juyi, the governor of Zhili.

When Nan Juyi was the governor of Fujian, he once led the fleet of sailors to fight the Dutch fleet in the Penghu area, and won the victory, so that the Dutch not only did not dare to harass the coastal areas of Fujian, but also evacuated the Penghu Islands in embarrassment, and finally fled to Dayuan.

It can be said that Nan Juyi can be regarded as a person who has a better understanding of the overseas situation, especially the importance of the navy, among the governors and ministers of the entire Ming Dynasty at this time.

This is also the fundamental reason why Emperor Chongzhen has repeatedly promoted and reused him since he let Nan Juyi recover.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the abolition of the position of governor of Tianjin, and Liang Tingdong, the former Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and the current governor of Tianjin, took over the position of governor of Nanjuyi, and ordered the governor of Zhili to be moved from Tongzhou to Tianjin.

After the restructuring of the Tianjin Sanwei Institute, all of them were changed to prefectures and counties, and a Tianjin governor actually managed the defense of several counties and the coast, which was really a bit nondescript.

Emperor Chongzhen also took this opportunity to promote Liang Tingdong to the governor of Zhili, and then revoked the establishment of the governor of Tianjin, and demoted Tianjin to a prefecture, and Shen Tingyang, who originally served as the military preparation of Tianjin, concurrently served as the prefect of Tianjin.

After Shen Tingyang was ordered to serve as the Tianjin Bingbei Road and supervise the affairs of the Dagukou Shipyard full-time, he began to set up a factory in Dagukou on the coast of Tianjin, recruited shipbuilders and people, and devoted himself to repairing the shipyard.

This time, Shen Tingyang took the envoys of the Dutch East India Company and the shipwrights technicians of the Dutch East India Company recruited from Batavia, and after returning from Batavia, he first took Vanderlie, Bidnow and others to Beijing to hand over to the Imperial Academy.

Immediately afterwards, he asked for another will, and rushed back to the Tianjin shipyard non-stop, and took a group of shipwrights of the Dutch East India Company, as well as the Ming shipwrights he recruited from the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, Guangdong and other places along the way, to turn the "Galien" ocean-going plywood ship worth 100,000 taels of silver and just brought back from Batavia up and down, front and back, and turn every deck, every cabin, every gun porthole, including every mast, every keel, and even every rivet. are clearly marked.

Then, under the dumbfounded eyes of the Dutch boatmen, Shen Tingyang even ordered that the behemoth "Galien", which had been purchased at a great cost, be dismantled layer by layer, one by one, and piece by piece.

By the end of February, the "Galien" that had come from afar had only a huge keel left, and it stayed in the newly built dock of the Dagukou Royal Shipyard.

Emperor Chongzhen knew all about these situations from the secret reports of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

However, even without the secret report of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Emperor Chongzhen also knew what Shen Tingyang was doing.

Because it was he who made Shen Tingyang do this.

After spending a lot of money and making many concessions and interest exchanges, this ocean-going plywood ship can not only be used as a future naval warship, but also as a mother ship, as a template to produce dozens or even hundreds of ocean-going warships of the same class for the future navy of the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of letting Shen Tingyang, the general office of the Tianjin Dagukou Shipyard, serve as the Tianjin Military Preparation Road and the Tianjin Prefect at the same time is to let him have greater authority and go all out to recruit shipwrights and people, and imitate an ocean-going plywood ship of the same size and performance according to all the styles, sizes, and construction methods obtained from dismantling and restoring the "Galion".

It's not that Emperor Chongzhen looked down on the Ming Dynasty's own fortune ship technology, but it was actually the shipbuilding technology and great work in the Yongle period, and too little was preserved.

Nowadays, the lucky ships in the fleet of all sailors in the Ming Dynasty, whether they are large or small, or their performance, are far inferior to the level of Yongle and Xuande.

Of course, even if it is restored to the level of design and construction of Fuchuan from Yongle to Xuande, the design of Fuchuan itself is no longer suitable for this era in the seventeenth century.

The Ming Dynasty's Fengzhou chose the style of the Fu Boat, which was valued by his tallness, might, grandeur and magnificence, because the large Fu Boat was as spectacular as a moving castle on the sea.

This sea castle has many advantages, such as the large number of troops that can be carried, the large number of artillery loaded, the ability to carry a large number of supplies, the long voyage, and so on.

But he has an obvious drawback, that is, its wide hull and non-streamlined design make it difficult to speed up.

Although they were all sail ships, the speed of the Fukun could not be compared with that of the Dutch plywood ships specializing in ocean shipping under the same wind and weather conditions.
