Why did the Flying Tigers win the battle? In addition to the concentricity of the top and bottom, the soldiers are not afraid of death, another important reason is the excellent firearms they are equipped with! Without style sun, where did those advanced firearms come from?

In later generations, a certain scientist was called "worthy of five divisions". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the Ming Dynasty, the style of Sun, an ordnance expert, is worth a million troops!

But after all, he is already an old man in his twilight, and birth, old age, sickness and death are ordinary things. In addition, in the past two years, he has been busy producing firearms and taking apprentices all day, and he has not eaten well and slept well, and finally died of illness due to hard work.

Chen Di endured his grief and said loudly: "Where is this a trivial matter! An ordnance craftsman like Sun Lao is an important weapon of the country! The fall of the master is a huge loss for the Ming Empire! Since the Qin and Han dynasties, the social status of craftsmen has been low. It is not proportional to their contribution to the development and progress of society! In Daming, this situation must be completely reversed! As I said earlier, all craftsmen in the office will be given military ranks! Sun Lao, posthumously awarded the rank of major general and the title of viscount! Erect a monument to him at the Office of the Ministry of War! Sun Lao has a spirit in the sky, and he will watch the manufacturing office produce batches of new firearms to arm the Ming army! ”

The officials were stunned. The major general in the new military rank is equivalent to the military attache Zheng Sanpin of the old rank. Bestow a craftsman on the three products and the title of viscount? This is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Chen Di said again: "This father will work with the five cabinets to go to the tomb of Sun Lao to offer condolences!" ”

The officials were stunned again. Zhen Guogong and the five cabinets jointly mourned a craftsman?

Chen Di continued: "In the future, the imperial court will give outstanding craftsmen the honor they deserve! In addition, the Ministry of War should establish a reward system to give corresponding rewards to those craftsmen who innovate weapons! ”

Tang Shunzhi: "The cabinet agrees with Zhen Guogong's proposal!" ”

Chen Di said: "Okay, then let's continue the topic." The fourth item on the agenda is to open Hangzhou, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Fuzhou, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Yantai, Jinzhouwei and Weihaiwei as treaty ports. Encourage non-governmental trade with Koreans, Japanese countries, and Western merchants. In addition, the General Administration of Customs is set up in the Ministry of Commerce under the Ministry of Household to collect customs duties! ”

Hai Rui objected: "Zhenguo Gong, if there is a way, my race will have different hearts. Will trading with those sinister foreigners harm my Ming interests? Moreover, I have a lot of resources, and what the Gentiles have, I have it. What the Gentiles don't have, I have too! Why do business with them? ”

Chen Di smiled: "When I was the prefect of Taizhou, I knew that my Ming tea and porcelain were quite sought-after in Western countries!" The tea and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty are transported to Western countries, and they can be sold for ten times the difference! Silver knows no borders! I have two pieces of silver here, one is given by a Western merchant and the other is from the Ming Dynasty, can you tell me, that piece of silver is incense, which piece of silver is stinky? In the future, when the treasury is full, the imperial court will also establish a strong navy to escort the goods of the Ming Dynasty across the ocean and sell them to other countries! Hai Shangshu is a cabinet member, since you are against it, your cabinet will vote! ”

Hai Rui objected alone, but Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, Zhang Juzheng, and Jiang Guang agreed. Four-on-one.

Tang Shunzhi: "The cabinet agrees with Zhen Guogong's proposal!" ”

Chen Di smiled and said, "You know, Hai Shangshu created a history just now!" ”

The officials looked at each other.

Chen Di said: "Just now, Hai Shangshu exercised the veto power of a cabinet member for the first time!" How many years later, that moment will go down in history! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Zhen Guogong, you have already said four proposals. I want to insert a proposal, I don't know if it's okay? ”

Chen Di said: "Of course you can! Yu Dashuai, you are a cabinet member! Of course, it is possible to make a proposal at a cabinet meeting! ”

Yu Dayou said: "Long before the Northern Expedition, Zhen Guogong discussed with Tang Shangshu about the establishment of a military academy. Now Daming Wen has Xingming Academy, and Wu should also have a school! The Flying Tiger Army is about to be expanded, and a large number of junior colonels and lieutenants are needed. I think we can start working on the establishment of a military academy! ”

Chen Di said: "Yu Dashuai's suggestion is to the point! I had this intention for a long time, but at that time, the Northern Expedition was imminent, so I put this matter on hold! If you want to expand the army, you need a lot of military talents! Where does so much talent come from? Only from the military school! In this way, I propose to open the Xingming Military Academy. Xingming Military Academy is divided into three sub-colleges: the Non-commissioned Officer College, the Military Academy, and the General Officer College! If a soldier of the Flying Tiger Army wants to be promoted to a non-commissioned officer, he must graduate from the non-commissioned officer academy! Lieutenants, colonels, and generals take turns to study at the Military Academy and the Military Academy! In addition, in addition to the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, a large number of young people who are interested in serving the country should also be recruited!

I will personally serve as the principal of the Xingming Military Academy. The teaching and training of the General Academy was held by me, Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the marshal of the Flying Tiger Army, and Qi Jiguang, chief of staff of the Flying Tiger Army. The teaching of the military academy is filled by those regiment commanders who have actual combat experience and have made combat exploits in the Flying Tiger Army. The teaching of the non-commissioned officer academy is carried out by those veterans of the Flying Tiger Army who have experienced a hundred battles! ”

Tang Shunzhi: "The cabinet agrees!" ”

The reason why Chen Di wants to serve as the principal of the military academy in person is because he knows the importance of the military academy! To seize the military academy is to seize the military power!

Chen Di raised more than a dozen topics. All of them were passed by the Cabinet one by one.

Before I knew it, this cabinet meeting had been going on for nearly three hours. Chen Di said: "Today's cabinet meeting will be held here first. Your Excellency, let's go back to your house and rest. ”

The three-hour meeting overthrew many of the old policies of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years. This is really only three hours in the Fengtian Temple, and the world has been a thousand years, dare to change the sun and the moon!

Chen Di, Tang Shunzhi and others walked out of the Fengtian Palace, and they didn't see the two officials scuffling together!

One of them shouted loudly: "Go, go see Zhenguogong!" ”

What kind of system should officials scuffle in front of the Fengtian Temple? Yu Dayou ordered the soldiers to escort the two to Chen Di.

Chen Di saw that one of the two people who scuffled was Tan Lun, the director of the Ministry of War, and Liu Daxia, the director of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Department of the Ministry of Households.

Chen Di asked, "Why are you two fighting in the palace?" Why did the two tenth-class civil officials disregard Sven so much? ”

Tan Lun's armpit is holding a book.

Tan Lun said: "Zhen Guogong, please take a look at this thing first!" ”

Tan Lun gave the book to Chen Di with both hands. The book is full of ashes. The frontispiece has been burned.

Chen Di opened the book and looked through it carefully, his eyes were about to fall off!

"The Treasure Ship Atlas of the Three Treasure Eunuchs"?

It turned out to be the design of Zheng He's treasure ship?!

Chen Di knew that the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty was very developed. When Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, went to the West, the treasure ship he rode was more than 40 zhang long, more than 10 zhang wide, and had 12 sails. There are tens of thousands of catties of ballast stone alone! There are more than 40 gun emplacements! In short, the treasure ship of Zheng He is simply an aircraft carrier of that era!

Chen Di asked Tan Lun: "Where did this atlas come from?" ”
