Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen also noticed the disdain for Gu San Mazi revealed in the Zheng brothers' eyes.

And Gu San Mazi didn't seem to have a good impression of the Zheng brothers, Zhu Youzhen deliberately walked in front, but he didn't even find that the Zheng brothers and Gu San Mazi had said a word along the way.

This made Zhu Youzhen smile secretly in his heart, they were all pirates, why should they look down on each other.

Of course, he, the emperor, is very willing to see the discord between Gu San Mazi and the Zheng family, which is also an opportunity for him, the emperor, to control the navy in the future, if the main generals of the navy in the future get along with the Zheng family, that is what Zhu Youzhen does not want to see.

However, Zhu Youzhen will not let the rift between them escalate to the point where they are incompatible with each other, which will also affect the combat strength of the navy, so Zhu Youzhen still only emphasizes that the generals of the naval system should still work together in harmony, just like the civil and military officials in the Guards Army.

The training of naval officers is inseparable from one person, and this person is Zheng Sen, who is often referred to as Zheng Chenggong in later generations.

Now Zheng Sen is a grassroots commander of an artillery battalion of the First Corps of the First Army of the Ming Guards, and has participated in the two major battles of exterminating Zuo Liangyu and Yangzhou Armageddon.

According to the system of rewards and punishments for officers and soldiers participating in the Guards drawn up by the General Political Office of the Generalissimo's Office, in recognition of Zheng Sen's merits in participating in two actual battles, Zheng Sen has been promoted to the rank of general of the Zhengwupin Wuluo.

Now, Zhu Youzhen plans to transfer him to the Daming Shipbuilding Bureau as the deputy director of the Student Training Office and the garrison of the Daming Shipbuilding Bureau, and let the two brothers Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui personally go to Zaozhuang to pick up their nephews.

Zhu Youzhen asked Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui to pick up Zheng Sen back to Nanjing in person, not only to create an opportunity for the Zheng family to reunite with uncles and nephews, but also to transfer Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui for a while.

As soon as Zheng Sen returned to Beijing, it meant that the training of naval officers in the Ming Dynasty would be officially put on the agenda.

Before that, Zhu Youzhen and Liu Kongzhao and Gu San Mazi of the non-Zheng system confessed.

The grandeur and luxury of the building of the Daming Ship Administration Bureau made Liu Kongzhao and Gu San Mazi have a feeling of being pinned on by His Majesty, and now they have been summoned into the palace by His Majesty, and the two of them feel even more honored and excited.

Zhu Youzhen met Liu Kongzhao first, while Gu San Mazi was waiting outside the hall.

Although the sun was scorching outside the palace at this time, Gu San Mazi did not feel the slightest discomfort, his dark skin was exposed to the wind and sun on the water all the year round, and he could completely withstand the heat in the Forbidden City, he did not expect that he would one day be able to stand outside the palace where the emperor lived.

Looking at Gong E, who was fluttering in Luo's skirt in the distance, he was even more itchy in his heart, secretly wondering if he should also accept a few wives and concubines, after all, he was also an official of the Ming Dynasty.

Gu San Mazi touched the black gauze hat on his head, looked at the lion complement official uniform and thick white black boots on his chest, and couldn't help but snicker:

"This is not a dream, I am indeed an official, and I am also a big official who can meet and talk to His Majesty, the ancestors of my Gu family don't know how many lifetimes of high incense have been burned, it must be because I saved the widow who committed suicide by jumping into the river before, I have to marry Ming'er home, it must be the blessing that this woman brought to me, otherwise, why did I just save him on the front foot, and there was someone from Lord Liu on the back foot who came to appease me with the decree of the imperial court."

Outside the house, Gu San Mazi is now an official and marries a wife, while Liu Kongzhao inside the house is looking at Zhu Youzhen with sweat.

In the eyes of the peasants and petty traders at the bottom, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Guards, Zhu Youzhen is a good emperor who cares about the officers and soldiers of the Guards, who is exempt from taxes and reduced taxes, has low-interest loans, and has helped the people and cared about the officers and soldiers.

But in the eyes of a nobleman like Liu Kongzhao, he was an iron-blooded king who had just killed dozens of high-ranking officials of the imperial court, so he couldn't help but be nervous when Zhu Youzhen looked at him with a cold face.

"I heard that you have accepted the youngest granddaughter of Li Qiao, the former secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, as your aunt, but is there such a thing?"

Zhu Youzhen sat on the couch, only half of the new and old bamboo mats were laid on the couch, there was a pestle on the bamboo mat, and there was half a bowl of sour plum soup on the pestle, Zhu Youzhen asked with a smile and handed half a bowl of sour plum juice to Liu Kongzhao and let Liu Kongzhao drink it.

Liu Kongzhao hurriedly thanked him, and then replied tremblingly: "Everything can't be hidden from Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing, mainly because she plays the flute very well, and the young man of Weichen is greedy, so that it is difficult to have fun in the house now, and she can mention the slightest interest in Weichen, if Your Majesty intends to experience it, you can also summon her into the palace." ”

"Keep it for your own use, be careful not to lose your body, although Li Qiao has committed a crime, I don't want to connect his family, and it's nothing if you marry his little granddaughter, but in the future, this naval matter can be handled by me."

Zhu Youzhen stood up as he spoke: "I know that you are not a person with outstanding talents, but if there are very few talents today, and there are very few talents who understand naval warfare, fortunately, after you are my Ming Dynasty, you have an ancestor who is honored, and you have been the commander of the Caojiang Naval Army, I don't expect you to become a famous general in naval warfare, but you have to be able to coordinate the contradictions within the entire navy;

Now you can also see that the future navy of the Ming Dynasty is mainly the Zheng family and the non-Zheng family, I want you to be a neutral, peacemaker, don't let the Zheng family's people control my navy, and don't let the people of the Zheng family get into trouble with the Zheng family, hurting the harmony of the navy, in the future, my army will be handed over to Zhou Yuji, and the navy will be handed over to you, you have to take care of me, you have to give him the surname Zhu, I don't want him to be surnamed Zheng, let alone his surname Liu, understand? ”

"Wechen understands, please rest assured, although Wechen doesn't know anything about naval warfare, but he still has the wisdom to know people and tolerate people, Wechen will definitely manage naval affairs for His Majesty and coordinate the forces of all factions!" After Liu Kongzhao promised this, Zhu Youzhen nodded reassuringly and asked him to retire from the next period.

Then, Zhu Youzhen let Gu San Mazi walk in.

As soon as Gu San Mazi came in, he swayed left and right, but he couldn't see where Zhu Youzhen was, and he was at a loss for a while, and at this time, Zhu Youzhen's voice had come from a certain direction: "Don't look around, I'm right in front of you." ”

Gu San Mazi looked at it fixedly, only to find that it was because His Majesty was wearing a dark gown and sitting in a dark place with a curtain in it, so it was difficult for him to find out where His Majesty was for a while.

"It turns out that Your Majesty, you are in front of the little one, the little mortal fetus with the naked eye has not been able to see it for a long time, or everyone says that you are the Son of Heaven, that is the son of the Emperor of Heaven, you are a fairy, Zi Weixing descends to the earth, if you want the little one to see it, let the little one see it, and if you don't want the little one to see it, you don't let the little one see it", Gu San Mazi said something, and his mouth couldn't stop the rhythm, which provoked Chen Yuanyuan and other female officials behind the screen couldn't help but laugh.

"That's enough!"

Zhu Youzhen interrupted Gu Sanmazi's words, he found that Gu Sanmazi had the potential to be a minister, and he was flattering himself vigorously in and out of his words, but Zhu Youzhen still couldn't help but put on a straight face and taught him a lesson: "Next time, remember to call Weichen, don't be small and big, you are also an official of the court now, didn't Uncle Sincerity teach you this?" ”
