Chapter 535: Navy
Cheng Guogong is really excited this time, for several grandfathers of the country, they are hereditary princes, and they are related to the country, and few rewards can move them. However, life in the world is inseparable from the word fame and fortune. If there is no preference for profit, then fame will naturally become the only pursuit.
Grandpa Guo is no exception, the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse reached the heart of Cheng Guogong, and he hurriedly picked up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The ministers must do their best, and they will definitely not disappoint the emperor's hopes for the ministers." ”
Stretching out his hand to help Chengguo Gong up, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "The blessing of the ancestors can naturally make Aiqing have an extraordinary status and worry-free food and clothing, but there are some things that you still have to obtain by yourself." ”
"Emperor Xie's teachings, the ministers should keep them in mind!" Standing up, Cheng Guogong said with a touched face.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the surrounding cabinet scholars and military ministers, and said with a smile: "You Aiqing don't have to envy Chengguo Gong, I will not treat any Aiqing badly, do everything in your hands well, and I will have my own reward when the time comes!" ”
Everyone present had a smile on their faces, whether it was Emperor Taizu or Emperor Chengzu, there were many rewards for the grandfather of the country, but only these few people were really left at this time. The only ones who hold the real power are Wei Guogong and Qianguo Gong, and now that they have an opportunity, they will naturally not let it go.
"Okay, you Aiqing have been tired for a day, let's stop here today! Aiqing everyone is going back, and I am going back to the palace too! "The Emperor of the Apocalypse already feels a little tired, it seems that this body still needs to be exercised well, otherwise it will inevitably be a short-lived emperor. After making up his mind, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile to everyone.
"Congratulations to the emperor!" Everyone watched the Emperor of the Apocalypse leave, and their faces were all relieved. Some people are supported by the people around them, and obviously they are tired enough. These people are not young, and they don't dare to show such a look when the Emperor of the Apocalypse is there.
In the next few days, nothing major happened in the capital and the government and the opposition, and what attracted attention was the strategy of reforming the Guozijian proposed by Liu Yijing when he was the first assistant university of the cabinet. In this, Liu Yijing stated in detail the purpose and role of the establishment of Guozijian. With more abundant information, it explains the difference between the current Guozijian and the past, and proves the decay of the Guozijian.
In this argument, Liu Yijing focused on arguing that the role of the Guozijian should be better played, making it a school for officials to train and take up posts, and avoiding the phenomenon of scholars governing the country as much as possible. It is necessary to let the scholars of the world understand that it is not necessary to read good books and the words of saints to be good officials. Of course, this is not what Liu Yijing said, this is the Emperor of the Apocalypse's own plan.
In fact, after watching Liu Yijing's recital, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's mind was activated, and the original idea was once again hooked. That is to build a university in this era, a university that encompasses all disciplines. But this is a bit difficult, and it seems that this is an opportunity!
After a half-month-long debate, Emperor Tianqi aimed to establish Guozijian in the capital, located in the southern suburbs of the capital. In order to save money, the Emperor of the Apocalypse drew a piece of royal garden and ordered people to renovate it there.
Although there was a lot of opposition, it was quickly suppressed, after all, this was put forward by the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, and with the support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, there was naturally no problem. In such an environment, the policy of the Emperor of the Apocalypse was naturally implemented.
Nothing major happened for the next period of time, but in mid-October, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was going to the port of Tianjin. The purpose is also very simple, a grand oath meeting will be held here, and the new style of water division of the Ming Dynasty was established on this day.
On the eighth day of October, history will remember this day, since Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Dynasty finally had its own sailor fleet again, a real sailor who could fight at sea. In order to distinguish the difference with the naval division, the Emperor of the Apocalypse named this naval division as the Ming Dynasty Naval Division, of course, it can also be called the navy.
Standing on the newly built dock, behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse were the ministers who had followed, and on the sea were twenty new warships that had just been installed. The Yellow Dragon Flag of the Ming Dynasty fluttered in the wind, and the sturdy naval sergeants looked ahead with serious faces. Holding a new firearm in his hand, the affection on his face was very serious.
"Qi Aiqing, Yu Aiqing, the navy of the Ming Dynasty can have the appearance it is today, thanks to the two generals, I have a lot of rewards!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Qi Jiguang and Yu Zhigao on the side, and said with a smile on his face.
"The things of eating the king, being loyal to the king, this is what the courtiers should do, and the ministers dare not take credit!" Qi Jin hurriedly bowed and saluted, with a respectful expression on his face.
Looking at Qi Jin differently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't expect Qi Jin to say such a thing, it seems that this is a long preparation! The Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored Qi Jin, turned his gaze to an old man on the side, and said in a soft voice: "Shen Aiqing, I am still running around for the country at such an old age, and I can't bear it in my heart and I pity it very much. But the navy needs Aiqing, Daming needs Aiqing, and I need Aiqing even more! ”
This person is none other than Shen Yourong, who is so old, after working hard for such a long time, this courtier, who is already not young, is even older. However, unlike the last time the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw him, Shen Yourong's spirit at this time was very good, far from being comparable to the original.
"Your Majesty, it is the honor of the old minister to be able to drive for His Majesty, and it is the honor of the old man to be able to see the Ming Navy in his lifetime. To be able to participate in this major event is that the old minister is virtuous. Cao Ying has a saying, Lao Ji is in the bush, and his ambitions are thousands of miles. Although the old minister is not young, he is willing to smear his liver and brain for the emperor! Shen Yourong's face was very excited, and he was full of anger when he spoke.
Looking at Shen Yourong with this appearance, the Emperor of the Apocalypse knew that this old minister would not be able to die for a while. But listening to the heartfelt words, the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were a little red, some people don't ask for anything in their lives, they really just want to be able to do something for the people and the country. These people do not care about fame and fortune, regardless of gains and losses, they are really the most respectable people.
"It is my fortunate to be able to get Aiqing, Aiqing must take care of her body and serve the country loyally!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse pulled Shen Yourong and said quite emotionally: "Although Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao have led the troops for many years, after all, they are not familiar with naval warfare, and I hope Aiqing will teach them more!" ”
"The emperor can rest assured, the ministers should do their best!" Shen Yourong hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse's gaze fell on the last young man, and the official uniform of a five-rank official made him look very energetic. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, eyebrows like stars, this is a real beautiful man. This person is Yu Zhigao's uncle, Yu Dayou's junior brother, and Zhang Yukun, the five-grade transfer envoy.
Whether it is Qi Jin, Yu Zhigao, or Shen Yourong, they are very appreciative of this person, and they can be described as full of praise. Shen Yourong even said that he was very good at arranging his troops, and he was also very good at organizing and training soldiers. Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "Zhang Aiqing really has a good body, this is really good." ”
Zhang Yukun didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to say this, his face suddenly turned a little red, and he said embarrassedly: "The emperor has won the award!" ”
Laughing and waving his hand, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a deep voice: "Zhang Aiqing, I know that you have an immortal talent, but the imperial court has its own rules, and you should know it very well compared to me." But I'm doing it for the sake of it, and I won't bury you. It's not enough for me to know that it's useless for you to have talent, you have to let the hundred officials of the court and the world see the talent, I will never be stingy with high-ranking officials, and let Aiqing leave a name in history. ”
Listening to the voice of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yukun's calm heart suddenly set off some waves, this is what he wants. Respectfully saluted the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhang Yukun said: "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers understand!" ”
Although his current official position is a five-grade transfer envoy, Zhang Yukun knows that this is a manifestation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse valuing him. This transshipment by yourself makes you responsible for transshipment at sea, and you don't know what to transshipment yourself. It is estimated that it will not be known for a long time. His position in the navy is very special, and this official position is just to make it more convenient for him to act.
Emperor of the Apocalypse Zhang Yukun naturally understood, I believe that you have talent, but talent alone is useless, you also have to have merit. Not only for me alone, but also for everyone, only then can I reward you and silence everyone.
Although the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were very official, Zhang Yukun knew that this was the Emperor of the Apocalypse comforting himself, and he didn't want to be dissatisfied because of a five-grade official. This makes Zhang Yukun very useful, no matter what his official position is, the Emperor of the Apocalypse attaches great importance to himself very rarely.
After pacifying all the officials, the Emperor of the Apocalypse boarded the flagship Longteng, toured it, and then conducted several test launches. After a simple sea trial, the group turned back to the dock and returned to the capital with people.
In the third year of the Apocalypse, there was no major movement in the north, whether it was Tartar or Jiannu, and the court was stable. The various reforms of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the military reform of the capital was finally completed at the end of the year, and the effect has not been seen for the time being, except that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has to pay a large amount of military expenses every month.
The firearms factories and the Armed Forces Research Institute have made great progress in the research and development and improvement of new firearms. After another expansion, the production of hair breakers is also on the right track, and it can be said that everything is thriving.
The construction of the Guowujian and the Guozijian is already on the right track, because there is enough money and food, and the progress of the project is very fast. The military division reform plan of the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty has been come up, and now it is only a holy decree implemented by the Emperor of the Apocalypse. However, at this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an order to Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the content was also very simple, reorganizing Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
