Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 615 Yingzheng Plan
Chapter 641 Yingzheng's plan
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Madam Mi returned to the mansion after seeing the minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and then went to meet several former ministers of Chu State at Yushitai."

Ying Zheng sneered, looked at Zheng Lun in front of him and asked, "The news just came out, and you can't wait to see these guys."

Zheng Lun nodded and stepped aside with a smile on his face, without further words.

Since Heitian died in Loulan City in the battle, the position of commander of Heibingtai has become vacant, and many people within the organization want to compete for this position.

But more than three months have passed, and Ying Zheng still has no plans to appoint a new commander.

On the contrary, there is a feeling of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, laughing and watching these guys fight for the position of a great commander.

Fortunately, the target of this battle is only the top few people, and most of the Black Ice Platform spies below are still continuing their duties.

Although Mi Hua left the palace because of Hu Hai, she was still a concubine after all. According to the rules, Hei Bingtai had to secretly monitor her to prevent her from doing anything that violated the rules of the inner court.

Unexpectedly, such a thing was monitored.

"Do you think I should still deal with these guys, or let them go?"

Zheng Lun looked up, glanced at Ying Zheng timidly, and said bravely, "I don't know what to say, but these people don't have a lot of power. Even if they gather together, they shouldn't be able to make any waves."

Ying Zheng glanced at Zheng Lun and hesitated for a moment.

The hall was suddenly dull. Zheng Lun didn't dare to straighten up, so he could only hunker down, while Ying Zheng was lost in thought and didn't rush to answer.

It took a long time before Ying Zheng made up his mind.

"In my edict, Mi Qi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, is dishonest as an official and has a sense of betrayal to me, but in consideration of his past achievements, half a year's salary will be deducted as punishment."

Zheng Lun was startled when he heard this.

He was not surprised that Ying Zheng's treatment would be so light.

As an old man beside Ying Zheng, after so many years of observation, he is very clear about one thing.

That is, Ying Zheng doesn't like party disputes.

Because of the opposition party struggle, he could send his friend Meng Tian who grew up with him to northern Xinjiang for several years and not allow him to come back.

Because of opposition parties, he could kill Li Si, who had assisted him for many years.

Now Mi Qi and others are actually the embryonic form of a new party. In Zheng Lun's view, Ying Zheng should completely wipe them out as soon as he gets the news.

But he didn't expect that instead of eliminating them, Ying Zheng let them go.

Ying Zheng seemed to be aware of Zheng Lun's hesitation and patiently explained: "With my past temper, I will never tolerate what they did, but I don't want to do it now because the prince is dead and gone. Prince, if I am gone, if there are no people around Hu Hai, how can he secure the throne?"

"Even though these people are ambitious and purposeful, at least they will help Hu Hai. Only in this way can Hu Hai's position be more secure, and our Daqin's country can be more stable. As for whether these people are loyal or traitor, good or bad , then Hu Hai has to identify it by himself.”

At this moment, Ying Zheng didn't look like an emperor, but instead looked like an ordinary old man, all the blood in his heart turned into a ray of helplessness.

Young people lose their fathers, middle-aged people lose their wives, and old people lose their children.

Although he gained everything and the world in his life, he lost many important relatives.

It is precisely because he has lost a lot that he cherishes everything in front of him.

That's why he gave the Chuanguo Yuxi to Ying Gang and asked him to issue orders on his behalf.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, is there anything else?"

"The first batch of sea-going ships ordered by His Royal Highness have been launched, and they went down the river. They have already crossed Danjiangkou and entered Jiangdong in three days."

Ying Zheng was in a daze when he heard this.

"It took three days to get from Bajun to Jiangdong?"

Zheng Lun nodded and said: "There is news from the people below that His Highness has installed something called a steam engine on those ships, and used this thing to replace the original manpower. The speed of the ship is too fast. And it saves even more manpower.”

"Steam engine." A smile appeared on Ying Zheng's face.

Ying Gang once told him about this.

He told Ying Zheng that if a steam engine is installed on the carriage and other devices, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources.

Unexpectedly, he used the first step on the boat.

With this means of transportation, the speed of the ship must be several times faster, and by then, it will be more convenient for them to transport things.

"Okay, okay! Gang'er still didn't disappoint me. With this thing, overseas expeditions really don't need to spend too much time transporting supplies."

In Yingzheng's previous plan to conquer the world, the most worrying thing was the logistics and material support.

Too many troops are used, and the transportation of materials is even more troublesome.

If an army of 7 people is used, at least a transport team of [-] to [-] people must be provided.The longer the transportation time, the more food and grass will be consumed on the road.

If this continues, no matter how strong Qin's national power is, it will be brought down.

But with Ying Gang's device, their transportation speed will be many times faster, and the food consumed on the road will inevitably be less.

Then it will be easier to conquer the nations.

"The order will go on, a series of workers in the Ministry of Industry and Foundry who manufacture steam engines and ships will be promoted to the first rank, and all personnel involved in the manufacture will be exempted from taxes for three years."

Zheng Lun said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, this is a great gift from heaven. I guess those people will definitely be grateful to Dade, and thank Your Majesty for your great kindness."

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "These are all secondary. I only hope that the prince can fulfill his own wish."

Zheng Lun stood aside and nodded.

"Then send an order to the foundry and the Ministry of Industry, asking them to refer to the steam engine made by His Royal Highness, and find a way to use this set of devices to all aspects of the empire."

Zheng Lun cupped his hands and said: "This old servant complies. In fact, this old servant still wants to thank His Majesty for his kindness."

"what for?"

"To tell you the truth, this old slave also has several nephews working in the foundry, and this time they are also involved in forging warships."

"Oh? Why didn't I hear you say it beforehand."

Zheng Lun said with a smile: "Your Majesty is extremely tired taking care of state affairs. How can old slaves bother His Majesty with such trivial matters. Besides, it is a great blessing for them to serve the empire and serve His Majesty. Even if they are a little tired, Work hard, and you should."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction: "It would be great if the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty can be like you. Don't worry, let them work hard. As long as they have some talents, I will put them to good use."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ying Zheng looked at Zheng Lun in front of him and said, "Tell those people at Heibingtai to keep a close eye on the court's every move. Since these people plan to make some noise, I will make the storm even bigger."
