I'm really not the carpenter emperor

Someone chuckled: "Who says it's not? Tell me, just move, and your Majesty will not let you know in advance."

"Suddenly a document came from the Ministry of Industry, saying that the Wang Gong factory and the surrounding factories and bureaus would all be moved thirty miles away from the suburbs of Beijing before May."

"My God, that's tens of millions of stones of gunpowder, piles of firearms, how could it be possible to move it away!?"

This Marquis of Yangwu was first ennobled by Xue Lu, and he was ennobled by Jingnan's military achievements, and it has been handed down to Xue Lian until now.

After the reorganization of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, Xue Lian served as the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Later Army in Beijing.

In history, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, Xue Lian was brutally tortured to death by Liu Zongmin. At that time, the people in the capital were all happy when they heard about it.

After all, these words are just complaints from nobles, and the real will must be obeyed. Right now, the authority of the Emperor Tianqi is just what he says.

Soon the voices of the nobles gradually subsided, and someone asked: "Master Hou, how did we move?"

"Also ask Lord Hou to show me!"

"Give me an idea. After all, this Wang Gong factory is related to the affairs of the three major battalions. Each of our families has relatives and old officials in the three major battalions."

The people below also said one after another.

Hearing this, Xue Lian slapped the table angrily and said:

"In my opinion, His Majesty was provoked by treacherous ministers to deliberately embarrass us people. What can we move, we can't move!"

The secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who was passing the official document outside, was waiting, but he didn't hear back for a long time, so he had to find it.

He looked at the big-eyed and small-eyed nobles sitting in the hall, and asked wonderingly:

"Yang Wuhou, when will it start?"

"The date stipulated by His Majesty is limited, but if it passes an hour, it will be an hour less. According to your majesty, it is better to start earlier."

Xue Lian glanced at him and said lightly:

"There are many workshops around the Wang Gong factory, and the gunpowder stored alone is tens of millions of stones. How can we move it in a hurry?"

As soon as he spoke, the nobles all echoed their words, enumerating all the difficulties of relocating Wang Gong's factory.

"What exactly does Yang Wuhou mean?" The clerk was stunned and asked.

Xue Lian cupped his fists towards the Forbidden City and said:

"Please go back and report to Ming Cui Butang that the relocation of Wang Gong's factory is really difficult! The Ministry of Industry should also consider our difficulties!"

"You guys..."

After all, the clerk was a soft-spoken person, and he was just a messenger. When he heard the words, he raised his arms and lowered them, and turned around helplessly and left.

"Ministry, the nobles have acted like this, His Majesty blames it, and our Ministry of Industry is responsible. You should make plans early."

In the lobby of the Ministry of Industry, watching the clerk go out, Wang Huan, the Tuntian Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said worriedly.

"It's okay, this matter, this department has a plan in mind, so go about your own business."

Cui Chengxiu was not surprised when he heard the news, but he was not angry at all. He could understand the thoughts of the nobles.

Originally, after the current emperor established the Yongwei Battalion, the three major battalions have not been touched much so far, and they have always been in charge of affairs.

The honorable family wanted to stuff all their children into it, so there are almost no serious officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp that can be drawn out to fight.

The interests involved in Wang Gongchang are closely related to the noble family.

To be honest, there is no way for Zhu Youxiao to move Wang Gong's factory. Who will let the apocalypse in history come soon?

Now that you know this, you can't wait for him to happen indifferently.

Moving the Wang Gong factory is the best choice right now. In the long run, building the gunpowder depot and arsenal in the city is indeed not an option.

But in doing so, it was inevitable that the nobles' cakes would be cut.

With Wang Gong's factory gone, where would the Beijing camp get weapons and gunpowder? Without this obvious channel, where would the honorable families get money?

The nobles are all royalists, and most of them have received a lot of benefits, so they don't make a sound, but there are a few exceptions.

Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, is the most typical one.

Self-respecting his ancestors made great achievements, and now he has obtained the military power in the Gyeonggi area in the military governor's mansion, he is even more domineering and defiant.

The imperial decree has come down, and he dared to do nothing while obediently obediently, which shows how arrogant and rampant he has become.

Wang Huan looked at the confident Cui Chengxiu and said nothing more.

……

"Bastard!"

Zhu Youxiao threw the memorial at the faces of the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and said:

"This matter has nothing to do with your Ministry of Industry. Go and call Zhang Weixian over here. Let them handle their own affairs!"

Since the reorganization of the Five Army Dudufu, the Dadudufu has also been rebuilt in the capital as the general office for coordinating the local Dudufu.

It's not far from the Forbidden City, just two streets away, and it's also close to Dongchang.

The British Duke Zhang Weixian rushed over in a short while and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty hastily summoned the ministers, and the ministers are panic-stricken. I don't know what your majesty is doing?"

"Look, take a closer look, and look at the good deeds done by the nobles under your command!" Zhu You said straight to the point, without arrogance:

"I only have one request. Before May, the entire Wang Gong factory must be moved thirty miles away from the outskirts of Beijing."

"Zhang Weixian, do you understand?"

Zhang Weixian quickly glanced at the memorabilia, his heart sank after a "bang", and he said hastily:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it is the responsibility of my British government to start this matter because of honor."

"I must personally go to Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, and ask him clearly."

Zhu Youxiao didn't directly say how to deal with this group of nobles who are obedient and disobedient, but just snorted and said:

"Okay, you go down, I still have important matters to discuss with the cabinet ministers."

"Minister, leave—!"

This Qianqing Palace is not a good place to be. Zhang Weixian hurriedly walked away on his knees as if he had received an amnesty.

Zhu Youxiao then turned his head and said with a smile:

"Come on, let's continue."

"According to what Old Man Ge just said, the Ming Dynasty will establish a mansion in Ryukyu, which will be included in the history of Fujian Province's organizational system and managed by Fujian Province. I also think it is good."

"Is there anything else to say?"

The chief minister of the cabinet, Wei Guangwei, seemed not to have heard the news of the troubles of the nobles, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty Qizuo, since Ryukyu has been recovered, it will be under the jurisdiction of the state capital. However, there are many tribesmen from Gaoshan people and other tribes in Ryukyu."

"Although these tribesmen have been subdued by He Huchen, they still have a lot of hostility towards the court."

"These local tribes have lived in Ryukyu for generations. If the South Ryukyu and the North Ryukyu want to communicate with each other, they must pass through their area."

"I believe that these tribesmen should be moved to the interior in batches to assimilate them, and then the refugees from the interior should be moved to live in Ryukyu."

"They will definitely not be willing at first, but the imperial court can give high-ranking officials generous salaries and give their leaders an official position to facilitate this matter."

"So, Ryukyu can be settled."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said:

"Okay, the matter of setting up the state capital in Ryukyu will be handled by the six departments of your cabinet!"

Chapter 7 and Nine

The cabinet convened six ministries to discuss this, and found that the Ryukyu matter was actually easy to handle, and the most difficult things were just two points.

Firstly, the establishment of a separate province in Ryukyu is still included in the history of Fujian Province and managed by the state capital.

After this matter is resolved, there is only the second thing left, how to deal with the old indigenous tribes.

In fact, this matter is not difficult.

He Huchen's request for meritorious service to the Ministry of War just came up with an excellent idea for the princes of the Ministry of War.

Biao Zuo is pleading for credit for these local aboriginal tribes, and the whole article reveals one meaning of He Huchen, these aboriginals-"brave and brave".

Using backward weapons and equipment, these aborigines were not only able to repel the Dutch colonial aggression, but also defeated the Denglai Navy trained by Yuan Keli.

Although it is said that the navy is not good at land warfare, after all, Yuan Keli practiced it with the method of Qi Jiguang's military training, which is much better than the guards in the general coastal guards.

Being able to achieve this record shows that the men of these indigenous tribes are an excellent source of soldiers.

Since it is a source of soldiers, it must be used!

Wang Qia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, said: "Listen to me, Mr. He said that the people of the Gaoshan tribe and other tribes fought bravely."

"According to this, I think that we can jointly request His Majesty to rectify the Beijing camp, and use men from these Ryukyu tribes as the new army."

When the words fell to the ground, there was a fierce quarrel in the cabinet meeting.

"What, these local natives are called into the capital, isn't it messed up?"

"It's reasonable. The Beijing camp is my Ming's imperial camp. I've been selecting the best strikers from the Nine Sides year after year. How can I let these natives go in casually?"

"I'm afraid Wang Butang has forgotten that just last year, these natives ambushed my Denglai Navy officers and soldiers in Ryukyu, causing a lot of casualties. They must not be trusted!"

"No, no! Think about it, if what He Huchen said is true, then perhaps the fighting power of these natives cannot be underestimated!"

"What's your reasoning?"

Looking at the debate below, it seemed that it would be difficult to stop for a while. Wen Tiren, a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall who had just entered the cabinet, wanted to speak, but glanced at Wei Guangwei, the chief minister of the cabinet.

The latter is resting his eyes with his eyes closed, and doesn't seem to intend to stop this scene like a vegetable market.

Seeing this, Wen Tiren stopped talking.

Who knows what this old guy is planning, everyone knows Wei Guangwei, he is very insidious.

After waiting for a while, Wei Guangwei said calmly:

"Okay, His Majesty called you here, not here to discuss how to rectify the Beijing camp. Besides, His Majesty is not yet sure about this matter."

"The most urgent task now is to discuss how to deal with these natives of Ryukyu."

Wang Qia sat back, and Zhao Bingzhong, Minister of the Household Department, stood up and said:

"These natives stay in Ryukyu, and it is not a good help for the imperial court to set up officials to manage the local area. They need to be moved to the interior and assimilated slowly."

"As for how these natives will be resettled after they arrive in the interior, whether they will be recruited into the Beijing camp as a new army, or divided into one area to set up chieftains, it depends on His Majesty's will."

"I wait for the courtiers, just to share the worries for His Majesty."

These words were approved by the vast majority of people.

Wei Guangwei also said: "Look, look at Mr. Zhao's heartfelt words, even the old man feels ashamed!"

"Since this is the case, do you have anything to say about the duties and rewards that will be assigned to these natives?"

Wen Tiren, a scholar of the Hall of Martial Arts, suddenly stood up and said, "Elder Ge, I think that for the Ryukyu natives, one person should be selected to be rewarded heavily, and the rest should be rewarded slightly."

"Rewards are fine, but it must reflect the power of the court."

"Graduate scholar, please tell me in detail, I am all ears." Wei Guangwei did not expect Wen Tiren to come out to speak so soon, so he looked over and said.

Wen Tiren appeared very humble, bowed repeatedly and then continued:

"Among the many tribes in Ryukyu, the Gaoshan tribe is the most powerful and has the largest population, with tens of thousands of people. The imperial court should use the hereditary command of Yiwei to lure them, as if they moved to the interior."

"As for the rest of the Ryukyu natives, a little reward of gold and silver plus land is enough to make them fear the power of the imperial court."

"In other words, as long as you control the biggest one, nothing else matters."

"After a long time, their children learn Chinese culture and become proficient in Chinese, so there is no distinction between natives and mainlanders."

Wei Guangwei kept nodding his head, looked around the crowd and said:

"What do you think?"

Wang Qia stood up and said: "This is the best way, and the lower officials seconded."

"I also agree."

"Seconded!"

After all, in the battle between Ryukyu and the Denglai Navy at that time, the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple and hit the wrong friendly army. After that, they cooperated very well.
