"There is such a thing?" Hearing the reports of Chen Ke, Li Jing and Wan Fengyun, Zheng Kezhang was a little surprised, he liked to see the initiative of the army, but he couldn't accept it like the Kwantung Army in another time and space to go alone and drag the country into the war, not to mention that the general Gong Tian was implicated because of this. "I see." It is impossible for Zheng Kezhang not to consider the role played by Ma Ying, a vested interest. "Wait a minute, kneel down first."

After drinking off the three courtiers for unknown reasons, Zheng Kezang, who was in a state of flux, sat on the dragon chair for a while, and then decided to give Ma Ying a chance: "Come, the Xuannan Privy Council envoy will meet you." ”

Ma Ying didn't come too slowly, but in Zheng Kezang's feelings, time seemed to have passed for a whole day, and the more he felt that the other party was a little arrogant, he looked at Ma Ying coldly and said goodbye, and only after a long time did he slowly speak: "Ma Qing, the power of the new gunpowder, Qing also saw it, does the Southern Privy Council have any plans?" ”

Intentionally or unintentionally, Zheng Kezhang forgot to let Ma Ying stand up and speak, and Ma Ying, who was extremely surprised, had to lie there and respond: "If you go back to the saint, the minister has discussed it with the Ministry of Military Affairs, and I think that the promotion of fire caps should be given priority." ”

Ma Ying and the middle and senior members of the army both believed that the power of yellow gunpowder was too great, and it was doubtful whether it could be used in a new type of manganese steel cannon, but it was better to use maroon gunpowder as a cannon more in line with the status quo, but as for the fire cap, it was a good thing, which could greatly increase the fire rate of infantry guns (especially in the rain), and should be quickly spread throughout the army.

"Fire cap?" Zheng Kezhang narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ma Ying. "Get up and speak." When Ma Ying slowly got up, Zheng Kezhang asked again. "Isn't it a bit too much to use an old rifle with a new fire cap?"

Ma Ying replied: "Ordnance Cao has already trial-produced a new type of rifled rifle gun, but the price is too high. ”

Zheng Kezhang also knows that this rifled rifle is roughly made in the style of a mini rifle, and in terms of today's manufacturing process, it is indeed a high-priced weapon, but if Zheng Kezhang wants to promote it to the whole army, it is just a sentence and a few years: "This secretary does not have to worry too much, the Ministry of Military Affairs still has this financial resources." ”

What Ma Ying wanted was Zheng Kezang's words, but he hadn't had time to be happy, Zheng Kezhang said again: "Of course, maroon artillery is good for gunpowder, but yellow gunpowder is useful for the study of flowering shells, and the effectiveness of rifled guns has also been greatly improved. ”

"The minister is about to play." Ma Ying's words made Zheng Kezhang even more displeased, but Zheng Kezhang continued to listen quietly. "According to the report of the training fleet of the Naval Academy, the rifled gun is difficult to load, so the firing distance is slower than that of ordinary artillery, but the range and accuracy have also increased after the use of conical shells, but the increased accuracy cannot make up for the loss of the reduced number of ammunition thrown per unit time, so I think there is no need to replace the old gun with a rifled gun at present."

"There's some truth to what Qing said." Although Zheng Kezhang disagreed, he superficially agreed. "That's it, let's let the forts of the town guards in various places be replaced with rifled guns, and the rest of the troops of the Navy Division will slow down." Ma Ying should claim that it was, and at this time, he saw Zheng Kezhang ask the chamberlain to deliver a stack of documents to him. "Let's take a look, is it the nomination for the knighthood handed to the cabinet by the Southern Privy Council?"

Ma Ying took it and flipped a few pages, and responded a little strangely: "If you go back to the saint, the minister has read it, yes, it is the nomination of the Southern Privy Council for the rank of knight in the army." ”

Zheng Kezhang immediately asked: "Niu Mingli, the secretary of the department, why did this person become a knight?" ”

Ma Ying is seriously familiar with the characters on the list of Jin Jue, so as soon as Zheng Kezhang asked, he immediately gave an answer: "If you go back to the saint, Niu Mingli is specially nominated as a county man for Jin Jue because he led the establishment of the Persian town guard. ”

Just as the Eastern Tianzhu Governorate was actually in the Andaman Islands, the Persian Governorate was certainly not set up on the Persian Plateau, but on the island of Hormuz. As early as the 16th century, the Portuguese set up fortresses and ports on this small island, but it was later destroyed by the Persian Kingdom and the British East India Company. However, that is, now that Persia is in civil strife, the division of various feudal towns needs the support of foreign forces, otherwise, this island facing Bandar Abbas, an important port of Persia, would not have fallen into the hands of China in any way.

"This is a great achievement, enough to be promoted." Zheng Kezhang raised first and then suppressed. "But this person is a member of the Ministry of Staff, how to lead the establishment of the town guard mansion." Zheng Kezang's words went to the root. "What's more, I remember that this officer was one of the main culprits in the Lingyamen case, and how he returned to the army."

Ma Ying suddenly panicked: "The minister doesn't know, the minister has the responsibility of negligence, and the minister will immediately order the Military Law Department to investigate and deal with it after he goes back." ”

"No need," Zheng Kezang's tone was extremely cold. "I have already told Li Jing, there is no need to investigate this matter in detail." At the mention of the name of the head of the Supervision Yuan, Ma Ying's expression became even more ugly. "Therefore, the Military Lawyers Department doesn't need to investigate, just let Niu someone take the county baronial title, anyway, this officer is already more than sixty years old, and it is time to return to his hometown to raise him."

Ma Ying breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he understood what Zheng Kezhang meant, and then said: "Yes, the minister will arrange it when he goes back." ”

"Arrangement? What is arranged? Zheng Kezang's somewhat dizzy eyes suddenly sharpened. Is there a staff member who clarifies the end of the hand? The oppressive tone made Ma Ying have to kneel down again. At war with the nations, it was actually the people of the Ministry of Justice who were manipulating behind the scenes, is this still my army? ”

Ma Ying trembled with fright, but she couldn't help but distinguish between her subordinates: "Holy Mingjian, these junior ministers may just be for military merits." ”

"For military merit? Can the country be dragged into a state of no return for the sake of military merit? Zheng Kezhang snorted lightly. Is Qing a good officer? The subordinates brought out are also a little sharp. ”

Ma Ying's face turned pale: "The saint, the minister is just out of public interest, as the saint knows, now that the four seas are leveled, and the horse is put in Nanshan, for the soldiers of the two divisions of Water 6, it is better to be enterprising than not to be enterprising." ”

"I see." Zheng Kezhang didn't want to listen to Ma Ying's explanation anymore, so he just said lightly. "Kneel down."

Ma Ying was already about to convulse in front of Zheng Kezang, but under Zheng Kezang's sharp eyes like a scalpel, he finally took off his black gauze hat with difficulty, put it tremblingly in his hand, and knocked to Zheng Kezhang again: "Minister, minister will retire." ”

Watching Ma Ying walk out in despair, Zheng Kezhang was unmoved and ordered to the Hanlin Bachelor beside him: "The Founding County Marquis, (from the second grade) Zhongfeng Doctor, (Xun three) the prince of the inspection school, (Zheng Erpin) General Mingwei, the Southern Privy Council Envoy, and the son of Jingshan County Ma Ying due to illness, his position as the Southern Privy Council Envoy was taken over by the founding uncle, Zhongfeng doctor, (Xun four) the prince of the inspection school, (from the second grade) the deputy general of the town army, and Chu Jin, the son of Qianshan County. ”

The Hanlin scholar quickly drafted the edict, and when it was finished, it was handed to Zheng Kezang, Zheng Kezhang took a rough look at it, and sighed: "Ma Ying has both merit and hard work over the years, so let him become a leader, and I also have a debt in my heart, so I will promote him to (Zheng Erpin) Doctor of Virtue, and add the founding of the county, and the name of the meritorious hero has also increased by one level." ”

The new edict was soon drafted, Zheng Kezhang read it correctly, and immediately used the seal to sign the cabinet, at this time only two and a half hours from the cabinet Niu Mingli's problem, a military important member who was almost equivalent to the prime minister was dismissed from office, the news immediately shook the government and the opposition, and there were many discussions at home and abroad, all thinking that Zheng Kezhang was killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, and warned the government and the opposition that although the prince was about to be established, the power was still in the hands of the emperor.

Affected by Ma Ying's resignation, Jin Yanzhi, then the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, and Chu Jin, the new envoy of the Southern Privy Council, ignored the practice that various affairs had been suspended as the end of the year approached, and joined forces with the Ministry of Military Affairs to carry out a large-scale purge of the departments of the two courts. As a result, in just five days, a considerable number of staff officials were adjusted to the front of the army for the first time, and some of the staff officials were directly kicked out of the army, and only the lucky Niu Mingli returned to his hometown with the title of county man with the curses of his colleagues.

With the sealing of the government office on the 25th of the lunar month, the adjustment of the staff department of the North and South Privy Council has also come to an end, and a big storm seems to have disappeared, but the staff of the two houses that have been purged have unexpectedly appeared that there seems to be the shadow of the military law department behind the whole incident, and the statement that Niu Mingli is actually a secret spy sent by the military law department to join the party department is also boiling, although it cannot reach the heavens in the end, but the struggle between the staff department and the military law department has since kicked off, and the two sides have infiltrated each other, and the history of the Chinese Dynasty has performed a scene of dragon and tiger fighting. But that's all for later.

However, when the news of Ma Ying's resignation reached the ears of Gong Tian, who was appointed as the general manager of the Shui Shi Academy as a fellow of the Southern Privy Council, Gong Tian, who felt innocent in the Lingyamen trespass case, was angry. Gong Tian thought that he was framed by Ma Ying, who manipulated the staff division, so that he lost the position of the commander of the Eastern Tianzhu Water Division, and missed the post of the Southern Privy Council, but now the truth is revealed, but he still misses the Southern Privy Council, which can be said to be one step behind step by step.

So Gong Tian ignored the cold weather during the New Year's Festival, and flew directly to Wuchang from Daqushan Town, crying to Zheng Kezang about his grievances. Regarding Gong Tian's cousin, Zheng Kezhang had no choice but to appease him again and again, and temporarily added Gong Tian as the founding county prince as a comfort. Gong Tian wanted the title of the founding county duke, but Chu Jin had just taken office, and it was impossible for him to give up his position, so Gong Tian, who returned disappointed, broke off his robe with Ma Ying, and the century-old entanglement between the two sailor families of Gong and Ma also unfolded from then on, providing endless topics for those who came after
