Chapter 1025 The Crown Prince Controversy

As the government offices of the imperial court moved south one after another, the streets and alleys of Wuchang Mansion gradually became lively.

After careful survey by British miners, various mineral resources in Daye are extremely rich.

Long before the official relocation of the capital, Daye's steelworks, coal digging plant, copper smelting plant, metallurgical plant, and silver smelting plant started construction almost at the same time.

The importance of gold is self-evident.

If the Chinese Empire wants to integrate into the trading system of the entire world, the implementation of the gold standard will be a matter of time.

However, the salaries of court officials, including the new army and the police, were all changed to silver bills issued by the Universal Bank.

In today's entire empire, it is very convenient to use bank notes for large sums of money.Small expenses are still copper coins.

It is absurd that the Daming treasure banknotes produced by Zhu Chongba cannot be used for tax purposes.

Yuzhu not only stipulates that the bank notes can be taxed, but also, even if the bank notes are slightly damaged, you can go to the universe bank to replace the new bank notes.

The emergence of bank notes to connect the world has greatly promoted the vigorous development of commercial trade.

At the same time, the post office affiliated to the Universal Bank also came into being.

The main business of the post office is to transmit various ticket number data and collect private letters from various prefectures and counties by the way.

Official post stations will be canceled sooner or later, but not now.

Because, the livelihood of 10,000+ courier officials must be fully considered, and there cannot be another Li Zicheng.

The government-run post station has huge expenses, but its efficiency is extremely low, and there are many corruptions, so it has to be changed.

Except for the Yingtian Gate and the Yingtian Hall, the imperial palace in Nandu is built like a holiday villa area. Each concubine is a small building, independent of each other, comfortable to live in, and not oppressive.

The Yingtian Hall in the New Dynasty, that is, the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the former Qing Dynasty, was mainly used for large-scale ceremonies.

In addition, the copper coin and silver coin casting equipment imported from the UK are located in Wuchang Prefecture.

As for the minting equipment, the Celestial Dynasty was many times more advanced than the British manual casting model, using steam engines.

Since the steam engine can circulate the water in the coal mine, it can be used to mint coins.

More than a hundred steam engines, in addition to maintenance, can roll the mold 24 hours without stopping, and the production efficiency is astonishingly high.

In addition, Wuchang Shipyard is also under construction.

According to Yuzhu's plan, in addition to Wuchang Shipyard, Wusong Shipyard, Quanzhou Shipyard and Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard will also be built.

Since the dynasty, through Yuzhu's continuous and unremitting efforts, various undertakings have been flourishing and gradually on the right track.

After returning to the office, Yu Zhu continued to review the memorial sent by the Military Aircraft Department.

I don't know how long it took before Yan Lin came in to report, "Your Majesty, the eldest son and the second son of the emperor have arrived outside the palace.

Upon hearing this, Yuzhu immediately put down the quill in his hand, and ordered: "Call them in."

Soon, two vigorous figures appeared in front of Yu Zhu's eyes.

"Crack." The heels of the two young men touched almost at the same time, making a crisp sound.

"Report to the emperor, the second lieutenant platoon leader of the Imperial Army, Tong Xuanyu was ordered to come."

"Report to the commander-in-chief, Lieutenant and Deputy Company Commander of the Imperial Army, Tong Changsheng was ordered to come."

Yuzhu stood up, walked to the side of the two sons with a smile, looked carefully, um, it was a little tanned again.

The deputy company commander of this guy Chang Sheng actually traded his life for it.

This kid, when leading troops to suppress the bandits, unexpectedly rushed to the forefront and was seriously injured.

Fortunately, there was distilled alcohol in the army, which helped to suppress the festering of the arrow wound, otherwise, Yu Zhu would probably be sent to a black-haired man by a white-haired man.

However, as an imperial soldier, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable.

Even though Yu Zhu really wanted to take the whip and whip Chang Sheng, a reckless guy, he still held back.

Just because the sons of ordinary people can be sacrificed, so can Yuzhu's son.

"When you meet your mother, don't say anything about being seriously injured." Yuzhu couldn't help but told Chang Sheng.

"Yes." Chang Sheng bumped his feet to attention and agreed loudly.

The main purpose of calling the two sons back this time is to send them to the regular artillery school for further study.

With the continuous development of thermal weapons, the role of cannons has become more and more obvious.

As an imperial soldier, you must learn and master the commanding essentials of artillery.

Yuzhu and the two beloved sons chatted together for a long time, and they were invited to have lunch together before letting them go back to see their respective mothers.

Not long after the two sons left, Ma Ying, the director of MI[-], came.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Sheng, Minister of Military Aircraft, has always had a close personal relationship with the second son of the Emperor. Although Ma Qi, Minister of Military Aircraft, has little contact with the eldest son of the Emperor, he has an unusual relationship with the uncle of the eldest son of the Emperor. Zhou Quan and Zhang Tingyu , did not make friends with any princes." Ma Ying knew that he was a vicious dog raised by Yuzhu.

Yuzhu will bite whoever he asks, otherwise, he will be slaughtered and eaten.

Paper cannot contain fire, and some things must be reported to the emperor.

If a vicious dog engaged in intelligence work loses its use value, do you need to ask more about the end?

Yu Zhu knew very well, forbidding ministers to make friends with the prince has always been empty talk.

As the sons get older, the old emperor's Kowloon seizure of the throne in his later years is likely to continue to be staged.

The civil servants were very far-sighted, they couldn't afford to provoke Yu Zhu, so they simply didn't, and put the target of the provocation on the princes.

In the pre-Ming Dynasty, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were not reused in the Jiajing Dynasty.

However, after entering the Longqing Dynasty, because Gao Gong was the emperor's most trusted teacher, he was especially valued.

But, just as Long Qing died, Gao Gong was rushed back to his hometown by Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.

Yuzhu had already been on guard against this move, and deliberately got his sons into a foreigner's school, military training in the morning and study in the afternoon, without delay.

Now, Jiang Sheng and Ma Qi played their cards according to the old routine and approached Yu Zhu's eldest two sons respectively, Yu Zhu was not surprised at all.

It would be a strange thing not to take the initiative to move closer!
"You keep staring, but it's just staring, you can't startle the snake."

After listening to Yu Zhu's order, Ma Ying quickly touched her feet and agreed loudly.

After Mal Ying first reported the most sensitive matter, he then reported the progress of wooing British spies.

"Your Majesty, the two British lords we bought last time are already on their way back to London. They will collect all the most advanced technological developments in Europe and the list of craftsmen for us..." Ma Ying knew that Yu Zhu was very interested in these things. Interested, he intentionally detailed the latest developments, "At Dagukou, the bishop sent by the foreigners was caught in bed by my subordinates when he was having an affair with a nun. The minister's subordinates immediately took Now there is his personal confession. Now, the bishop is secretly working for the empire with the empire's subsidy. What the minister never expected is that there is such a wealth of information in the church's confessional..."

Yu Zhu nodded while listening, he was very satisfied with Ma Ying's work.

Facts have proved that doing intelligence work does require talent.

It is said that there was once a veteran of the intelligence front. After news of his death reached the Beacon Country, the CIA not only opened champagne to celebrate, but even made an exception for a three-day holiday.

Yuzhu has reason to believe that with the British's shrewdness, they will definitely arrange spies among the personnel sent to China.

The alliance with Britain is definitely only temporary.

In the future, after the Chinese Empire's ships and guns are strong, there will be a battle sooner or later in order to fight for the control of Sanguoyang.

The navy is actually the most traditional arm.

The Battle of Trafalgar, which has not yet happened, is a clear example.

It stands to reason that the number of warships, artillery, and sailors of the French Navy surpassed that of the United Kingdom.However, the decisive battle of the navy is not just about hardware, but more about software.

This software is the Navy's self-learning and error-correcting capabilities.

In the Battle of Trafalgar, the commander of the French United Fleet was captured by the British.

Similarly, during World War II, the Japanese Navy clearly knew the power of aircraft carriers, but continued to waste resources and continue to build battleships.

However, the Americans desperately transformed various ships into aircraft carriers.

The century-old navy is definitely not nonsense.

After Ma Ying left, Yuzhu suddenly received a message: There was a big commotion in North Korea.

Yuzhu couldn't help but smile slightly, in his plan, the Lee Kingdom of North Korea belonged to the territory that must be won.

Standing above the historical height of 500 years, from Nanyang, Taiwan, Australia, to the Japanese country, as long as it is firmly in the hands of the Chinese Empire, even if the British navy comes to expedition, there will be no place to stay.

However, Yuzhu is not in a hurry to send troops to North Korea.When the Koreans invite the Chinese Empire to send troops to help, it must be justifiable to send troops at that time.

Yuzhu found Zhou Quan and told him: "When I was not in Wuchang, I will work hard for you."

Zhou Quan understood Yu Zhu's thoughts very well, as soon as he heard this, he knew that he was the Chief Minister of Military Aircraft.

In the past few years, Yu Zhu hadn't decided on the order of the military ministers, but now it was suddenly decided. According to Zhou Quan's understanding, there must be some changes in the court.

About one and a half months later, envoys sent by North Korea arrived in Wuchang and formally requested the Celestial Empire to send troops to rescue the suffering North Korean people.

Yu Zhu, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, immediately issued a military order, ordering the first town and the third town to gather at Wusongkou.

Hearing that Yuzhu wanted to conquest in person, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of ten thousand chariots, how can you take the risk lightly?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Ma Qi beat the side drum, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you have not established a crown prince, the foundation of the country is not solid!"

Jiang Sheng was worried that Ma Qi would take the lead, so he persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you really want to go on a personal expedition, please establish a prince as soon as possible and order him to supervise the country, so that everyone in the world can feel at ease."

As long as people are above the temple, everyone is in harmony with the little one in their hearts, which is understandable.

Now that Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng had jumped out, Yuzhu ordered: "Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng will follow me to the expedition, Zhou Quan and Zhang Tingyu will stay in Wuchang."

Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng were immediately dumbfounded.The longer they stay away from the Military Aircraft Department, the easier it is for them to loosen their authority.

Zhang Tingyu knew in his heart that the fact that Ma and Jiang Erchen formed a party in private made the emperor look down on it.
