4-44 Zhen Wubo
When Song Yingxing's nephew and uncle arrived in the capital, Liu Ziguang's title had already come out, and the old guys in the Ministry of Rites who were not old enough to eat the ancients quoted scriptures and made a town Wubo's title to him, originally according to the emperor's intentions, at least a prince of the country was given to Liu Ziguang, but the ministers thought that Liu Ziguang was still very young, and there were still many opportunities for meritorious service in the unrecovered land around the Ming Dynasty.
You can't make him a prince. After weighing it, Zhu Youxiao still adopted the minister's opinion, but in order to compensate, Liu Ziguang was specially rewarded with a special red python robe, the special thing about this python robe is that the color is different from the standard poinsettia python, and the rust red unique to the red shirt group is used, which can be regarded as unique.
The troops who participated in the coup d'état also had their own rewards, not to mention the silver, but also fifty taels per person, and the inner treasury was suddenly in his hands, and Zhu Youxiao, who had been very poor before, felt that he was very generous, and spending silver was like flowing water.
Liu Ziguang, Qian Qianyi and others also received rewards of up to 10,000 taels of silver. In addition to the material rewards, there was also a spiritual coup d'état, the symbol of the army - the red scarf became a fixed royal ornament, in order to distinguish it from other Ming armies, and the military salary of all troops wearing red scarves was thirty percent higher than that of other troops.
The soldiers who directly participated in the battle of Fengtian Temple received a red scarf with gold trim, and all the soldiers who wore this kind of scarf could see the officials, did not worship the family, and did not have to pay taxes, and the court without a wife arranged for the court to take care of the injured wife, and the family had children to study Confucianism for free, which was really a favor.
Liu Ziguang also rewarded his subordinates, all the soldiers who participated in the airborne operation in the Forbidden City put a gilded eagle badge on each person, which could be worn on the chest together with the rank badge, and the rest of the soldiers who participated in the ground operations such as the attack on Dongchang were given a gilded tiger badge, and each soldier was given a hundred taels of silver, and the officers were each given a ten-day holiday, and if they got married or went home to visit relatives, they were given another three months of long vacation.
The armed forces in the capital have undergone a large-scale adjustment, Yuan Chonghuan is now a scholar of Wuyingdian University, concurrently serving as a secretary of the military department, belongs to the cabinet member, and is powerful, as soon as he came to power, he purged all the middle and senior officers of the party faction after the eunuch party, and the old and frail soldiers were also withdrawn, and the disarmament team naturally rebounded, but these guys who did not make an inch of achievements in the coup d'état could not get the support of any bigwigs in the court at all, and the emperor was not bird, and they also suffered a more severe blow to Yuan Chonghuan, and the slightest disrespect would be killed, and the military generals would be killed as easily as slaughtering dogs, and for a time the Beijing army camp was silent。
There is also Cui Chengxiu, who tried to assassinate Yuan Chonghuan in Shandong, since he was escorted to the capital, he was acquitted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate on the grounds of insufficient evidence, and he was ready to wait for a period of time to calm down and then come out again, and now he can no longer wait for that opportunity, and Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned for the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and the case was retried in Dali Temple.
The new governor of the five armies, Xu Zengshou, is also proud of the spring breeze, and a group of generals who were originally good friends with him are depressed guys, and now all of them have been promoted, the original team of Xiaolingwei directly changed their names to Yulinwei, and entered the imperial city to be responsible for the security task, and the original Yulinwei because it was at the last moment to fight back, so he did not get a reward, but was sent to Xiaoling to see the grave, as for the eunuch rebellion Jin Wuwei and the government military guard were directly revoked, only at the critical moment against the water Zhao Erhu, the minister, the gun battalion was preserved, and Zhao Erhu himself was still on duty in the imperial city, Zhao Erhu himself was also promoted to command, and returned to the leadership of Liu Ziguang, the minister of the guard。
Zhao Erhu, who is nearly fifty years old, finally soared, he has eaten enough, there is no backer, and now he finally hugged Zhen Wubo's big thick legs, how can there be a reason to let go, and Zhao Erhu will not only train soldiers to win Liu Ziguang's favor, Zhen Wubo also eats this set, praises Zhao Erhu's gun array, and promises that he will have the opportunity to transfer them to the Shandong front line to win greater fame in the future.
The nature of the private army of the Red Shirt Regiment now had to be changed, and the mercenaries of the iron factory naturally no longer did it, and now they were divided into three, and the most elite part still maintained the name of the Red Shirt Regiment, but it belonged to the emperor's pro-army, and was usually stationed in the imperial city; There is also a part of the South Factory stationed in the southern suburbs; In addition, the group of people recruited by Shandong is now the backbone of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses.
The first brothers who followed Liu Ziguang from the slave camp were less than 300 people, and now these people are all in important positions and have a lot of wealth, and basically they are all married, and the Iron Guard cavalry who attached Liu Ziguang on the battlefield in Shandong have completely decoupled from the iron factory and become the backbone of the Red Shirt Regiment, and then there are the recruits recruited in Shandong, some of these people are still taking care of Liu Ziguang's industry in Shandong, some are stationed in Liguo, and most of them have followed Liu Ziguang to the capital.
A few days ago, Gu Dahai, who worshiped Liu Ziguang as his teacher, received the official title of one hundred households in Nanchang and three thousand taels of silver, and returned to Tianmu Mountain with a smile, but he didn't care about the silver and official position, the key is that he will have a gilded identity in the future, and the big disciple of Uncle Zhen Wu, this brand can be eaten anywhere.
The four seized urns, along with the operators, were sent to the Yamen of the Nanchang in the southern suburbs to be detained, this kind of sharp weapon, of course, Liu Ziguang will not let go, the guy named Gundam is the chief technician of the Qishuyan Machinery Factory in Changzhou, a half-madman who does not understand politics and is obsessed with technology, Liu Ziguang promised him sufficient funds and support to develop more perverted machines, and then surrendered without hesitation.
The production of Weng Zhong's Changzhou Qishuyan Machinery Factory was seized by the imperial court, the reason is that the rebellion is attached to the rebellion, the capital Changzhou is very close, so it is Zhen Wubo personally led the team to go, there is no resistance in the process of seizure, the factory owner has fled with silver, drawings, but the assets left behind are still abundant, people can't believe that Qishuyan Machinery Factory is the earliest factory, plant, machine, The raw materials are extremely abundant, the skilled workers and researchers are countless, the scale is by no means smaller than the Li National Railway Plant, those technicians and workers are worried that no one will pay them, Liu Ziguang appeared like a timely rain, and spent a lot of money to attract a group of talents, and then sealed the factory and waited for the disposal of the imperial court, according to his plan, Qishuyan Machinery Factory was first nationalized, and then auctioned by the Ministry of Industry, the highest price was obtained, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu was his own people, and then he casually engaged in a small means, and the machine factory would not become his own bag.
After returning from Changzhou Mansion, Liu Ziguang entered the palace, and the Holy Palace was full of lights, and the Mid-Autumn Festival was about to arrive.
Now Liu Ziguang is walking on the street, there is a lot of movement, there are people in front of him who are sounding gongs to open the road, and there is silence, The mighty clean street sign is played, behind is the guards, followed by the swords and guns, the pedestrians on the majestic street heard that the town Wubo arrived, all of them got out of the way, and waited for the uncle respectfully on the side, in the past, there is a saying in the capital recently, saying that Zhen Wubo is looking for a daughter-in-law, if this thing can be done, the emperor will come forward to give marriage, so all the little girls in the capital who are not married are anxious, these big ladies who do not go out of the door on weekdays are eager to rush out of the house and run to the town Wubo, Mao Sui recommended himself, the parents of the ladies are even more anxious, if you can climb such a son-in-law, it is really the next few generations do not have to struggle, these rumors in the capital, Liu Ziguang is not clear, he is from ChangzhouI'm already in a hurry to get home.
Zhenwu Bo Mansion is in the original Yang Mansion, now it has been decorated with a new look, the black background gold plaque hanging on the door, the four vigorous and powerful characters are the red paint on the door inscribed by Qian Qianyi, today's university scholars, the red paint on the door is the newly brushed copper nails, and it is also brand new, one by one has been wiped clear and bright, eight soldiers of the red shirt regiment stand at the door, a water of red satin, group flower robes, white background, black waist boots, pinching gold silk waist knife, Western woolen woolen Wu Song hat, stars, moon, eagles, tigers, outsiders can not understand, but the red scarf with gold wire edge, everyone knows, everyone who passes by the door is praised, to say that it is still a people's town, Wu Bo Niu, even the generals at the door are wearing gold silk red scarves, this style is goodbyeMentioned.
Liu Ziguang turned over and dismounted, his own general took the reins, the little servant took the saber and musket he untied, and the little girl ring handed over the fragrant towel to wipe his face.
Another housekeeper came over to report: "Uncle Song, Lord Song and Master Ai have been waiting for you for a long time. It turned out that Song Yingxing arrived, and Liu Ziguang hurriedly went to meet, and he didn't meet Song Yingxing when he passed by the iron factory last time, and now he finally met.
"Mr. Song, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have lost a lot of weight." Liu Ziguang walked quickly into the living room and said with a smile.
"My lord...."Song Yingxing saw Liu Ziguang coming in, and immediately got up from his seat and was about to bow down a few steps forward, Liu Ziguang hurriedly supported him: "Mr. Song doesn't have to be polite." ”
"My lord...."Song Yingxing's lips trembled, his eyes flashed, his voice was already a little choked, and he died as a confidant, this is what he thinks now, Song Yingxing was too much in his early years, but later he made no achievements, and his career was extremely bumpy, only to be a small official like a county Xueyu, for a scholar in a feudal society, what can better reflect his value than being an official, Song Yingxing is not unwilling to be an official, but he can't be an official, so he devoted himself to writing a book and writing "Heavenly Creations".
Later, Liu Ziguang hired him to be an engineer in the iron factory, which is also a small garden, he has a wish, but this sense of accomplishment is far less strong than being an official, from a county to learn Yu Yu became a secretary of the Ministry of Industry in one step, faster than taking a rocket, thinking about the scene of returning to his hometown in the future, glorifying his ancestors, it is really exciting, tears in his eyes, and all this is due to the great benefactor in front of him.
Song Yingxing choked and couldn't speak, but Liu Ziguang knew what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "Lord Song, don't thank me, I guarantee that you are in charge of the Ministry of Industry for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, not for his own selfish interests, nor for the sake of forming a party for personal gain, Mr. Song's talent can be better wielded in this position, this is my original intention." (It is great enough to use the Ministry of Industry to steal the assets of the machine factory that should belong to the imperial court.)
State-owned assets are lost like this) After hearing these words, Song Yingxing admired Liu Ziguang even more for being a person in his fifties.
I don't know where the strength is, even Liu Ziguang can't support him, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Ziguang three times.
"This gift is not for me, Lord Song Yingxing, but for me on behalf of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Lord Xie." Song Yingxing said solemnly.
"Hurry up and ask Mr. Qi to speak seriously." Liu Ziguang had no choice but to accept him three times before helping Song Yingxing up.
Addison came over to greet him, but the young man was not so excited, it seemed that being an official was far from his interest in scientific research, and the three of them greeted him for a while, and Liu Ziguang asked, "How many days have you arrived?" Did you go to the Ministry of Industry to take over? ”
"I arrived yesterday, and I have been summoned by His Majesty, and I have received the official uniform and the documents of the Ministry of Officials, but I just want to meet the adults and then go to work, so I have never been to the Ministry of Works." Addison said.
"Oh, that's the case, the Ministry of Industry is now in the dark and it is better to take over as soon as possible, familiarize yourself with the various operating procedures of the yamen, I still have something to do with you." Liu Ziguang is colorful.
(I rely on you to help me embezzle state-owned assets)
"In this case, we will immediately go to the Ministry of Industry to take up our posts." The two of them stood up unequivocally and were about to leave.
"Wait, I seem to remember Xiao Ai, you still have some grievances with the Ministry of Industry, when you took the self-grinding electric glass lamp to the Yamen Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Industry, you were directly thrown out by the director and broken, and said that it was garbage, and beat you out with a stick, saying that as long as he reigns for a day, you will never be allowed to step into the Ministry of Industry for half a step. If I'm not mistaken, that's what you told me that night at the Mochou Lake Conference. Liu Ziguang said.
(See Chapters 2-27)
"My lord..."Addison's nose was also a little sour, just now he laughed at his uncle, but now he is about to cry, thinking of the plight of his almost suicide and the injustice he encountered in the Ministry of Industry, and then thinking about Liu Ziguang's kindness, it is really a reinvention of kindness.
"Take your self-grinding electric glass lamp, I'll change clothes, we won't wear official uniforms, and then go to the Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Industry to offer treasures." Liu Ziguang said with a wicked smile.
