Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Our family's eyes have been staring at it all the time. The people on the boat have no shadow of the emperor at all. They are all craftsmen, and I was kept in the dark." Lu Jiude knew Chongzhen. If Chongzhen was in the crowd, He can tell at a glance.

In the morning of the next day, Wang Chengen waited until the sun came out before ordering the boat to sail. Shi Huanglu and the others did not dare to close their eyes all night, and followed closely behind in the boat.

With Wang Chengen's instructions and the battle yesterday afternoon, the people who received the boat on the south bank were obviously much more cautious. There was no more ceremonial guards of bragging and brawling, and there were no noisy crowds.

"Clean the streets along the way, and no one else is allowed to watch." Wang Chengen said coldly.

"Yes!" A thousand cavalrymen were deployed in an instant, and all the Beijing camps in Nanjing City were mobilized, a total of [-] soldiers, just to escort the [-] craftsmen and hundreds of carriages.

Yesterday, the streets of Nanjing were empty for thousands of people, and the grand occasion of welcoming the crown prince was vividly remembered. Today, the section of the street from Zhengyangmen to the Imperial Palace was full of soldiers facing the street.Shi Kefa led the way, and Wang Chengen always walked in front of the silver car, never leaving the sword in his arms.

"Wang Gonggong, can you tell me now, what kind of treasure is worth so much trouble?" Shi Kefa wiped the sweat from his face and said standing at the door of the inner library.

The hundreds of silver carts had all been transported, and the emperor never showed up, but Wang Chengen was still looking after the dozens of carriages as if he was facing a big enemy.The people in the car were still only those craftsmen, and there were no valuables.Where the hell is baby?

"Master Shi, the most precious treasure of this Nandu is behind me. The emperor said that even if I lose money, as long as one of them has an accident, my head will be chopped off."

"Ah! Who are they?" Shi Kefa was really terrified. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way. It's ridiculous that he never paid attention to this group of people all the way.I thought it was a civilian husband who carried supplies.

"Future Undergraduates."

"Undergraduate student..." What kind of student is this?

Chapter 52: Nanjing Dynasty

The future undergraduates will be stationed at the southern foot of Jiangjun Mountain, and the gate will be at the site of the later Hohai University. Along Jiangjun Mountain, there is a complete circle of [-] mu of land.

Wang Chengen's request was that all planned buildings must be completed within two months, even if it was a day later.The inner government directly allocated 100 million taels of cash, which is not a lot of money.Generous!

This task finally fell into the hands of Ruan Dacheng, and Ma Shiying fully cooperated, mobilizing almost all craftsmen under the Ministry of Industry and the Internal Government Supervision Bureau, a total of more than [-] people participated in the construction.And three hundred young craftsmen are currently enjoying the services of eunuchs and maids in a separately arranged residence in the palace, eating well and sleeping well.

In the main hall in Nanjing, the first grand court meeting of the prince's supervisory country is being staged.

"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Shi Kefa has always been clean and honest, and has the ability to govern the country. I appointed him as Minister of the Ministry of War;..."

It was the first time for the crown prince to oversee the country's government. Of course, Wang Chengen had to start announcing Zhu Youjian's appointment of key officials. This was a must.Shi Kefa was still Minister of the Ministry of War, Ma Shiying was Minister of Industry, Qian Qianyi was Minister of Rites, Minister of Officials was Lu Daqi, and Minister of Household Huang Daozhou.

Then, the list of cabinet ministers who achieved the most expectations came: the cabinet does not have a chief minister, but only three ministers.Everyone heard this, and thought to themselves, it would be inappropriate if there is no chief assistant, it happens that everyone is at the same level, and there is no need to fight over who is the boss.Qian Qianyi especially pricked up his ears. When he heard the first name, he was taken aback.

The cabinet ministers are: Zhu Yujian, Ruan Dacheng, and Du Yinxi.

What the hell?Apart from Ruan Dacheng who is familiar with these three people, who are the other two?Why should I be a cabinet minister?

Before Wang Chengen finished reading the decree, Qian Qianyi was the first to jump out: "I object! The cabinet is the most important decision-making body of the imperial court, and it should be held by capable ministers." Qian Qianyi had a proud expression on his face: you guys Look, I am the most capable minister, and the cabinet must have me.

Wang Chengen smiled and said: "The emperor also explained: If any of you want to be a cabinet minister, you can recommend one yourself. This is an oral order. Which one of you is willing?"

Shi Kefa and Ma Shiying smiled at each other. The two had seen Zhu Youjian directly and knew that there was fraud.

"I recommend myself." Qian Qianyi immediately came out.Just kidding, I'm over 60, and I haven't been a high-ranking official for a few days in my life, so how could I give up such a good opportunity.

"Okay, one more minister in the cabinet, Mr. Qian Qianyi. There will be no more additions. Now continue to announce the decree: I have decided not to set up a chief assistant, and the cabinet is only my Hanlin, who will assist in handling official documents and will no longer participate in the decision-making of the imperial court.

Qian Qianyi's eyes were staring, he was dizzy all of a sudden, he fought for a long time, and it turned out that he was fighting for a seventh-rank official.The poor old man convulsed, his mouth, nose and eyes slanted on the spot, and he had a stroke.Several guards hurriedly carried him out, and the personnel appointments in the hall continued.

Liu Zeqing was appointed as the general soldier of Jianghuai, and named Dongping Bo; Huang Degong was named Gaoyou general, and he was named Jingguo Gong;This promotion to the four towns in Jiangbei was within everyone's expectations.

Then, unexpectedly, Liu Yinglong was appointed as the commander of the Shandong Military Region, and Li Yan was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Shandong Military Region.What kind of official position is this commander?Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they don't understand.

The generals of the four Jiangbei towns looked at Shi Kefa in unison. Shi Kefa closed his eyes and meditated like an old monk in meditation.Can he say it?Could it be that this Shandong commander is the emperor?

Finally, a minister with white hair and beard came out from the back of the queue and asked, "Excuse me, my lord, what is the official position of this commander?"

"The commander is just a very small general who has been guarding the crown prince going south, so insignificant." Wang Chengen laughed.

Hearing what Wang Chengen said, everyone was finally relieved. It turned out that he was a low-level official. "So, how many troops does the commander command?" the old man who had just spoken continued to ask.

"When we went south, he had about 1000 people on hand." Wang Chengen continued to laugh.Then the ministers felt more at ease. It turned out that there were only 1000 people, not even a guerrilla general.There is absolutely no threat to oneself, which makes people feel at ease.

Zhu Youjian's move is to avoid Liu Zeqing's harassment. Ever since he was in Shandong, Liu Zeqing's subordinates have always gone to Shandong in the name of the Shandong General Soldier to misbehave, and he also said with certainty that this itself is under the jurisdiction of the Shandong General Soldier. Land, let Zhu Youjian suffer a lot.

It's better to simply get rid of Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong, and give him a title of marquis to appease him. Anyway, Shandong is basically abandoned by him, so he won't care too much.

Then, Wang Chengen announced his new official position: Minister of Public Security.The explanation given was: a small organization under the Ministry of Punishment, commanding the factory guards, responsible for collecting enemy intelligence and other responsibilities.

This time, the officials were even happier. The factory guards were directly under the jurisdiction of the civil servants, and they did not have the responsibility of supervising officials at all levels.The whole hall was full of laughter and laughter. The thing that everyone had been looking forward to for many years finally came.

"Ahem~" Wang Cheng'en continued, "Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is temporarily under the care of the old man." Hula, the whole hall was poured with cold water again, which made the fiery atmosphere clear just now.At this time, everyone realized that there was indeed no appointment list for Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice just now.

In the Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Yuanzhang had the saying that eunuchs should not interfere in the government affairs, and other dynasties did not have it at all.Otherwise, how could there be so many famous eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and finally a eunuch came out.

Therefore, Wang Chengen's appointment as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment only blocked the hearts of the officials and did not meet with opposition.It was also because Wang Chengen's status was too high, and everyone was afraid of him.But privately, the Donglin Party rumored that a new Eunuch Party was about to appear.

With the cabinet gone, there must always be someone to take the lead in administrative issues, and ministries have always been only responsible for implementing government orders and have no decision-making power.Therefore, government affairs are still in the hands of the cabinet, but this cabinet seems too inconspicuous.

A few days later, when the three ministers of the cabinet arrived, Wang Chengen announced another secret decree: Tang Wang Zhu Yujian also served as the chief assistant.Zhu Yujian had just been released from the prison of the Fengyang Zongfu, and the beard on his face hadn't been shaved, so he became the chief assistant of a person under one person and above ten thousand people.

Some people would say, how could it be possible for a small vassal king who had never dealt with government affairs to be the chief assistant directly.This is the problem. The actual age of Emperor Longwu in history is older than Zhu Youjian, and when he was emperor, he had no experience in dealing with government affairs, but he was recognized as a good emperor.

As a time traveler, Zhu Youjian naturally knew the abilities of this elder who was three generations older than Chongzhen.Although Qian Qianyi squeezed into the cabinet, he suffered a stroke, and the real power in Nanjing fell into the hands of Zhu Yujian.

As a new trend of going south, the first topic of the Donglin people in the south of the Yangtze River is the same old way: "When the country is in crisis, many officials are allowed to act recklessly, and corruption is prevalent. The ministers and others invite the prince. Rectify the administration of officials and clear up the imperial court."

These are old sayings, Zhu Youjian had already guessed, and at the same time, in order to show his tolerance, he ordered the prince to announce in court that he would accept all the minister’s suggestions, and focus on cracking down on corruption. court test.

And this big court exam will be on an unprecedented scale, and the admission list has doubled compared to previous years.At the same time, it is determined that the students who have passed the imperial examination will be sent to various places to replace officials who have been punished for corruption.

As soon as this edict came out, Donglin exploded in the south of the Yangtze River, and the students of Donglin enjoyed running around.Exams held at the gate of Donglin's house, this is nothing to send officials to Donglin students.

Of course, it's not just Donglin who is happy, but also Eunuch.Whose ass is cleaner than whose?Donglin was so full of anger that he wanted to get rid of the eunuchs, how could the eunuchs give in?

The imperial edict clearly stated that all officials above the ninth rank and below the fourth rank in various places can accept reports from anyone, and those who file a case will be subject to review, and those who have problems in the review will be punished.Zhu Youjian played a trick here. The highest level of anti-corruption is limited to below the fourth rank, and he does not want to affect normal administrative operations.

What kind of waves will be caused by this bloody storm in the officialdom promoted by Zhu Youjian.

Chapter 53: Deng Zhirong Leaks Secrets

The basic formation training is completed, and the troops enter confrontation training.

Zhu Youjian issued an order that all officers above the company level will be demoted by half a rank at once, with a code on the front.Deng Zhirong, the head of the regiment, instantly became the acting head of the regiment.

The headquarters explained that all officers above the battalion level will participate in a one-month intensive training, and only those who pass the training can be formally commissioned.The training is taught by the commander in person, and all qualified members must participate, otherwise it will be deemed as giving up the treatment of officers.

At present, Luzhong has a total of about 10 troops, with a total of 260 regiments and 3000 companies.Each company has a company commander and deputy company commander; 1000 battalions, each battalion has a battalion commander and two deputy battalion commanders; Nearly [-] people.

These people are the essence of the entire army. Ordinary soldiers train the ability to kill the enemy, while officers need to learn the ability to command.If a company is a basic combat team, then at the battalion commander level, it can be regarded as a low-level general.

Li Yan can understand that Zhu Youjian wants to personally train the officers.Neither the recruits recruited by Lu Zhong nor the soldiers Li Yan brought over from Henan belonged to Zhu Youjian's confidants.If the emperor wants to control the military power, of course he will find a general. This kind of thing is an unspoken rule.
