Another teacup was picked up and put down.

Huo Weihua sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it... If you obey it, you will."

On the other hand, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I won't talk to you about state affairs today, let alone discuss military affairs with you, let's just chat and talk about our monarchs and ministers."

An imperceptible sadness came out of Huo Weihua's expression, and he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, just say it... The minister probably has already guessed. Is the emperor here for the matter of the guard? ”

"Definitely.."

Sometimes the relationship between the monarch and the minister is so delicate.

Originally, the resentment in Huo Weihua's heart was also wiped out by Zhu Youzhen's tea drinking for several hours.

He didn't think he was very important in the emperor's mind.

On the contrary, Huo Weihua knew that he would change his military department if he said that he would change.

But why is the emperor able to spend such precious time here with him today?

Showing a sense of leisure, I drank tea and chatted here.

But every sentence is not related to the court and the court, which itself is not easy for the emperor in front of him, who likes to work hard.

What more could I ask for?

"Before I went to the Ministry of Rites today, I first went to the Ministry of Rites, and I confirmed something in the Ministry of Rites..."

Huo Weihua responded thoughtfully: "Weichen is stupid.. I don't know what the emperor said? ”

"Toast..."After speaking, Zhu Youzhen picked up the teacup again.

But Huo Weihua, who was on the side, could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty! Give the minister a chance, the minister is willing to put on the armor and take command in person! Suppress the rebellion against Annam for the imperial court! ”

Excited, can you not be excited? The timing of Huo Weihua's takeover of the military department was extremely ingenious.

It was precisely during the period of the Lu'an Rebellion, and in the later stage of the counterinsurgency, that all this was handed over to Huo Weihua to coordinate the overall situation.

However, the central court of the Ming Dynasty had very weak control over the local area at that time.

Far from being as general as it is now, the new bureau with comprehensive functions and extensive coverage has spread all over the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

And during this period, Annan has gradually become honest.

But now it was mentioned by Zhu Youzhen again, and he said it himself from the mouth of the emperor in front of him.

No matter how slow Huo Weihua was, he could hear what the emperor in front of him was thinking.

Zhu Youzhen nodded.

said: "I won't give you a single soldier, you can figure out your own way, the guards, military households, and local troops are at your disposal, if you need me, I can lend you some Heavenly Tiger Army as training instructors."

After that, he didn't say anything more, but Huo Weihua knew that if this was the case, it was just a joke for him to go to quell the rebellion against Annan, so he said: "Your Majesty... Other than that.."

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said, "Other than that, there is nothing." ”

Huo Weihua was suddenly anxious, and the teacup in his hand was no longer in his hand, and the so-called Longjing before the Ming Dynasty was also gone, and he said.

"Your Majesty... The new rifles and the new artillery... Can you mobilize some of it from the Heavenly Tiger Army, and if so, ... The minister dared to say that he would definitely be able to take Annam! ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said.

"First, now that Liaodong is tight on the Houjin front, and the Tianhu Army is also constantly expanding, there are simply not enough weapons to counteract Annan; Second, this new rifle really doesn't meet the needs of counterinsurgency Annan."

Huo Weihua didn't react a little, what does it mean to not meet the needs...

"Your Majesty.... What is not in demand.."

Zhu Youzhen said leisurely: "The so-called non-compliance with the needs is that this Minne rifle, that is, the so-called new rifle, is a front-loading rifled gun, and the use of oil-paper packaging is also a fixed bullet, and if it is used in a place like Annan, it is destined to become a burning stick." ”

"Wet weather is not something that the current Minne rifle can withstand... That's why I didn't mobilize the Heavenly Tiger Army, but thought of you in the first place..."

Unusable, this is the reason why Huo Weihua did not think of it...

"I see..."

Seeing that Huo Weihua's expression was a little depressed, Zhu Youzhen couldn't hide it anymore, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I won't come to you today, you organize this matter first, and I promise you to prepare it for you when the time comes."

Surprise, what is called surprise, this is called surprise.

But Huo Weihua was still a little puzzled: "Your Majesty.... This new musket can't stand the moisture, what should it be?"

"I have handed over this matter to the Royal Academy of Sciences and the General Directorate of Ordnance... They already have a general direction, and when the research is over, I will ask you to test the gun as soon as possible! ”

"Minister. Obey! ”

....

Fujian...

Officials from the Fuzhou Royal Bureau of Industry and Commerce are in front of a dilapidated looking shipyard.

With a flattering face, he said something to a craftsman in a shabby shirt with heavy clay...

"Master Liu, the imperial court is now preparing to build a new Daming Imperial Shipyard in Shandong, and now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower... You are the only second-level technical talent in our first batch of craftsmen this time.."

Liu Mingqi raised his eyes and lowered his head again.

Shaking his head, he said, "No.."

"Master Liu... This is to Shandong, that is to be an errand for the royal family, you are a royal craftsman, and when the time comes, with your shipbuilding skills in this sail clipper..."

A group of officials were unwilling to give up, and finally there was a person in their jurisdiction who could pass the examination, or a second-level technical talent, in case they could pass the first-level examination.

Local officials, big and small, had to follow suit, so a large number of officials were organized to invite Liu Mingqi out of the mountain.

"Your Excellency is a busy man, so don't waste your time in my little house, Royal Craftsman..."

Liu Mingqi's eyes unconsciously revealed a look of reminiscence.

"No, no, no." After saying that, he continued to shake his head.

But in an instant, he was caught by another official who had just entered the technical department of the Fuzhou branch of the Royal General Administration of Industry.

It seems to understand the reason why the second-level technical talent in front of him is unwilling to go to Beijing to do talent identification.

Of course, more important than the identification is Shandong Shipyard..

"Master Liu, don't you want to go to Jingshi to see how skilled the best craftsmen are today? Don't you want to go to Shandong to see the best shipbuilding technology available today? Don't you want to go into that high hall and become a public official? ”

The young man's series of words made the surrounding officials a little panicked, and one of them even wanted to step forward to stop him and continue...

But in the end, it was blocked back.
