Chongzhen Undergraduates

It was Chen Wangting who kicked it over. The old man was extremely fast. Not only did he use the incense table to block Zhu Youjian's bullets, but he even kicked the Buddha statue into the air two or three times.

When Chen Wangting jumped down, Wang Pingfan, who was following Wu Sangui, charged at old man Chen with a knife.The people who were already lying on the ground in the room had experienced such close shooting in the age of firearms. Obviously, everyone had experienced too little.

Zhu Youjian ran the fastest, followed by A Ke, and behind A Ke was Chen Yuanyuan.There is no way, Zhu Youjian is the most important thing in front of everyone, and he cannot be accused of neglecting his wife and children, he was also pushed away.

As soon as Zhu Youjian's family left the Buddhist hall, a group of people rushed out of the house. As soon as Zhu Youjian turned his head, he saw five enemies killing them. It seemed that Zhu Youjian's guards were here to eat Big loss.

Wu Sangui's men had already dropped the flintlock guns in their hands, and chased them out with knives in hand.

"Where are you running today?" Zhu Youjian's kung fu was not as good as Wu Sangui's. He hadn't escaped from the courtyard, but Wu Sangui blocked his way with a long knife.

Four against five, Zhu Youjian was actually at a disadvantage here, especially the guard next to him was obviously not Wu Sangui's opponent.With the addition of Zhu Youjian, Wu Sangui's knife was barely held together.

Wu Sangui made a false move, and struck with another blow.Zhu Youjian and the guard looked at each other, and they were ready to take another move from Wu Sangui.However, no one thought that it was Chen Yuanyuan who he slashed. Chen Yuanyuan, who was on Zhu Youjian's side, had no guards around him at this time, and was caught by Wu Sangui.

With a "bang", before Wu Sangui's saber was cut down, Liu Zongmin half-lyed on the ground of the Buddhist hall, and fired a gun at Wu Sangui with a firecracker in his hand.Beside Liu Zongmin was the blind man who could no longer move, and there was a big puddle of blood flowing from the blind man's body.

It should be said that if it weren't for Liu Zongmin's shot, Chen Yuanyuan would definitely have been injured.

"Hahaha, this new steel plate from Nanjing City is really easy to use." Wu Sangui who was hit just swayed, and then quickly pressed the knife against Chen Yuanyuan's neck.

Wu Sangui unbuttoned his coat with one hand, revealing a piece of Ming army-style half armor.This thing can actually block Liu Zongmin's bullets, which is considered to be of good quality.If it is an ordinary iron material, it cannot stop the firecracker.

"Let go of Yuanyuan." Liu Zongmin pulled the trigger continuously, but his pistol was only the original flintlock with a single bullet.Liu Zongmin crawled at the gate of the hall, trying to reload the medicine in a panic.

With a "snap", Wu Sangui kicked Liu Zongmin's gun away, and then stomped on his head, humiliating Liu Zongmin.

"What I look down on the most in this life is you gangsters. You want to rule the world? Are you qualified?" Wu Sangui held Chen Yuanyuan hostage, but looked at the others recklessly.

Liu Zongmin was so angry that he lay on the ground in pain, but Wu Sangui's knife was resting on Chen Yuanyuan's neck, and Wu Sangui himself was able to get away.

Zhu Youjian took out his gun from his arms, which was also a revolver, and it was much smaller than the ones used by the guards.It looked ridiculous.

"Haha, come on! Hit me, as long as you are not afraid that I will kill your woman." Wu Sangui was very provocative, very much like the way Zhu Youjian saw him when he was scolding among the stones.

Zhu Youjian took a few steps forward. At this time, the distance between him and Wu Sangui was less than five meters.

"Bang!" Zhu Youjian fired at the plate armor on Wu Sangui's body.

Then everyone on both sides looked at Wu Sangui in astonishment. No one thought that Emperor Daming would shoot when he knew he couldn't penetrate the armor. Wasn't he afraid of Chen Yuanyuan's safety?

"You..." Wu Sangui covered his chest with his hands, his facial features were distorted, and he looked at Zhu Youjian in disbelief.

"Pfft!" Zhu Youjian blew on the muzzle of his gun and said, "The power of the bullet in the barrel depends on the tightness. I used a metal-cased bullet, and it was pointed. Forget it, tell me I don’t understand either, because you are uneducated. In the next life, don’t pretend to be a rich second generation. You are not good at technology, and you are only worthy of being a lackey.”

"You, you..." Wu Sangui had no strength in his whole body as if he had been pumped out. He couldn't even hold the knife in his hand, so he could only let it fall to the ground, and then his body fell limply to the side, twitching all over.

Inside the house, Chen Wangting and Wang Pingfan were evenly matched.This can't be blamed on Chen Wangting's poor skill, it can only be said that boxing is afraid of being young. After all, he is over 50 years old.

Just as the two were about to decide the winner, the battle outside the hall was over.

Wang Pingfan ducked under the eaves to see that Wu Sangui had died on the edge of the steps. The guy suddenly tore off his clothes, revealing a new-style hand grenade wrapped around his body.

"Come on, let's die together!" Wang Pingfan howled and walked slowly towards Zhu Youjian. Everyone panicked. If this thing blows up, the courtyard will be flattened.

The fuse has been lit, and the sizzle of the flames is like a life-threatening black and white impermanence.Zhu Youjian's forehead was already sweating, he dragged A Ke behind him, counting silently in his heart.

"Wow!" The triumphant Wang Pingfan didn't even see a small shadow coming in from outside the door.The little shadow rushed quickly, and poured a basin of cold water on Wang Pingfan, and then Wang Pingfan, who was wet on his body, only saw the fuse that had been doused, because he had been kicked by Chen Wangting and fell to the base of the wall.

"Xiaobao, you are doing well." Little Ake cheered happily.

Zhu Youjian stared at a young man at the gate of the yard. Ever since he heard the name "Xiaobao", he had a black line on his forehead.

Chapter 573: Reformation of Chongzhen Restoration Organization

It's time for Huang Zongxi to come back.

In Nanjing, there has long been a heated discussion about when the emperor will move the court to the capital; the royal families and some nobles who still have titles are also discussing, to see who will become the new rich.

These public opinions were clearly reflected in some newly published gossip tabloids, and some nobles even deliberately hired people to play up the achievements of their children to gain credit.

It's a pity that the good things that everyone was looking forward to did not come. Instead, the emperor put Li Dingguo back in the military academy as the dean;

The only thing worth discussing in June and July in Ming Dynasty was that the emperor made arrangements for a group of Western craftsmen.The craftsmen brought back by Huang Zongxi were divided into two categories. One was senior craftsmen who were assigned to three newly established research institutes called "CSIC [-]" to "[-]"; A shipyard as a master craftsman.

However, there is a new kind of opinion in Ming Dynasty. The mainstream believes that Ming Dynasty, as the central empire, does not need to develop any shipbuilding, especially hiring Westerners, which is simply humiliating the ancestors.Such a trivial matter simply cannot enter the conversation of scholars after dinner.

Arranging Westerners is a small matter, but there is a big thing related to Westerners and shipbuilding.An unknown South China Sea Navy general named Shi Lang was summoned by the emperor three times in a row.The holy family is in full swing, and the emperor has allocated an army of marines that originally belonged to the Fujian Navy to the South China Sea Navy; this is not counted, I heard that all the young sailors who brought Huang Zongxi back were all transferred to Shi Lang .

Could it be that there are so many generals who have made great achievements in the north, but they are not as good as a small navy general?There was a lot of discussion in the army, and there were some comments about Zhu Youjian's unfair handling of affairs.

Huang Zongxi has been talking with Zhu Youjian for half a month, and it seems that he still has more ideas, and Gu Yanwu, a young man with a slightly angry youth, always comes to listen to the discussion when Zhu Youjian summons Huang Zongxi.

Zhu Youjian was not surprised by this matter, he had already taken care of it, as long as Gu Yanwu, Fang Yizhi, Zhu Shunshui, Wang Fuzhi and others were willing to come and listen to him playing against Huang Zongxi, the guards would not stop them.

"Your Majesty, I saw a kind of institution in the Netherlands. The Dutch call it a stock exchange..." Huang Zongxi's face was flushed recently, and he felt that his trip to Europa was like Mr. Yang Ming's " Like "Longchang Enlightenment", a door was opened in his head, and there were endless new silk roads and new ideas.

Zhu Youjian picked up the tea bowl and watched Huang Zongxi's speech with a smile all the time. Behind Huang Zongxi, there were a lot of famous young intellectuals.At critical times, Zhu Youjian will stand up and correct Huang Zongxi's remarks, and will also extend some ideas for expanding the new cognition conveyed by Huang Zongxi.

Few people in Nanjing knew what was going on in front of the emperor's court recently, and ordinary officials just thought that the emperor had invited many great Confucian scholars to participate in politics for him.

This kind of meeting lasted until very late every day. During the heated debate, these people's horizons were slowly opened, their minds were liberated a little bit, and finally they were specific in some specific areas of governance, forming a set of new policies after the consensus of the masses. .

This new deal was called "Chongzhen Restoration" by later generations.The New Deal advice book proposed by Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others has a total of [-] words and is known in history as the "Eleven Articles of the Reformation".

Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty successively issued nine imperial decrees to implement the New Deal in an all-round way.A policy research room dedicated to providing advice to the emperor was formed by the core figures of the New Deal, and the speaker system was completely banned.

Zhu Youjian's reform this time did not learn from the top-down thorough reform of the West, but adopted a gradual reform.First of all, the Ming Dynasty did not yet have an electoral system. If an overly advanced system is forced to be implemented, it will definitely be backlashed.

The core of the Chongzhen Restoration was just to reorganize the imperial court's institutional structure. Huang Zongxi now has this ability, and the reformers have the support of the emperor, so I believe they can succeed.

The most direct point is to expand the cabinet and bring all political affairs under the jurisdiction of the cabinet.Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister and monopolized power, but not all emperors were workaholics like him, so the cabinet system of Ming Dynasty was to reduce the burden on the emperor.Whether it was the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty or the military aircraft department of the Qing Dynasty, they were actually small cabinets.

Now that the cabinet system has been formed, simply expand the power and make the cabinet a de facto prime minister.

Second, since Daming has decided to expand its vision overseas, and also has the technology accumulation in the early stage of industrialization, the administrative department can no longer be configured according to the original six departments.Some pre-established departments are directly upgraded, and some departments are transformed into departments. For example, the Department of Foreign Affairs becomes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Department of Education becomes the Ministry of Education, etc.The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry carried out large-scale split and integration, forming multiple departments.However, the Sanfa Division was retained, which played a very good role in stabilizing the situation.

The movement of civil servants is so loud that it overwhelms the attention of the whole country, especially for the north, where many institutions seem a bit bloated, which really makes some people unable to understand.

Compared with the civil service system, the military system is calm, and the emperor has no intention of doing anything against the arrogant generals.

"Your Majesty, I have done some calculations. If things go on like this, this is the salary that the Ministry of Finance needs to distribute this year." Huang Zongxi held a memorial, feeling uneasy. People who want to make innovations have big hearts, but the number on the list in his hand is already too big. To the point of astonishment.

"So many?" Zhu Youjian opened it, also startled.The organization is spread out, but where does the money come from?There is still a team of heroes who need to be rewarded, but Daming's family is already empty.

"Or, let's abolish a few departments first, anyway, they won't be needed now." Huang Zongxi's face was flushed, his words were like a slap in the face to himself.

"It's not a good emperor to change orders from day to day. I can't do it if I want to take back the spittle I spit out. I know that there is not enough money, so I should find ways to increase income instead of cutting expenditure. No matter how difficult it is, this first step must be broken. Go out. You tell the various departments involved in economic construction that the salary is for them to find a way to solve it themselves. Whoever can support their subordinates will be made that official." Zhu Youjian got out, and he remembered a sentence Words: Everything is centered on economic construction.
