Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Inspector Zhu You stood up, bowed and said with emotion:

“Up to this point in the country, most of the civil servants and military officers ‘only care about themselves and not the country’, but few serve the country and the people.

If everyone were like Erqing, why would the world be unhappy? "

Fang Zhenghua smiled bitterly.

As early as ten years ago, if the emperor was unfavorable to "other people", he would not be able to leave the capital...

Think of the old days, how elegant the royal guards were!

Think about how prosperous they were back then when they were overseeing the East and West factories!

however……

Those civil servants and wealthy gentry with ulterior motives restricted the imperial power generation after generation.

His Majesty ascended the throne as a vassal king, but because he did not know the art of the emperor, he was deceived and became lame, and he deposed the two guards of Jinyi and Dongchang who were already weak to the extreme.

After Your Majesty has been emperor for three years and understands the nature of courtiers, it is already too late to raise Dongchang and Jinyiwei again...

The envoy in yellow is worse than shit when he leaves Beijing!

They, the emperor's eagle dogs, were so taboo among the gentry that they were pressed to death!

The emperor's spy can't be sent out, and the envoy in yellow can't leave the capital——

Expect the gentry to supervise themselves...

It is rare for a country not to be like this...

……

Erbi did not dare to accept the emperor's words.

Speaking of which, even though they were determined to improve armaments and revive the Ming Dynasty, they did it personally regardless of their age.

However, in Shilin, this is just a quirky name that focuses on miscellaneous studies.

Once you accept the emperor's words - you will become the enemy of the entire gentry in the world!

Zhu Youjian sighed with emotion, took the flintlock gun handed by Bi Maoliang with both hands, loaded the ammunition skillfully in front of the two people, and then put it in his arms again.

Fang Zhenghua has long been used to this scene.

He even saw the scene on the top of the city when the emperor personally shot Liu Fangliang away with a gun.

However, this scene shocked the two old people.

An emperor actually possesses a sharp weapon and is able to load it skillfully...

Bi Maokang and Bi Maoliang burst into tears, their cloudy eyes turning red.

"Your Majesty, I am awaiting death penalty!"

As the saying goes, a king who humiliates his ministers dies. In the original history, after these two people heard that Chongzhen hanged himself, they became sick and died from grief and anger. Naturally, they are not comparable to those things.

Zhu Youjian waved his hand casually, but smiled:

"You two old ladies, there is no need to be sad. I am still alive. This is the greatest blessing!"

Isn't it the greatest blessing for China to have someone like him who knows its history well?

Zhu Youjian watched the two of them wipe away their tears with handkerchiefs and continued:

"The country is in turmoil and the military equipment is not stable. I have an inhumane request. I hope the old Qing family can agree."

Bi Maoliang took a deep breath:

"Your Majesty, I still have two taels of old bones that the Lord of Hell refuses to take away. Even if I can't lift a knife or mount a horse, I can still call a thief for Your Majesty!"

Bi Maokang also said:

"In the past, when he was seventy years old, he could still fight for food and drink wine. Even though Maokang was not as good as the ancients, he could still cheer for His Majesty!"

The two gray-haired former courtiers expressed their willingness to accept the emperor's appointment.

"Great!"

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"The two ministers are like this, and the country has hope!"

He turned to Fang Zhenghua and said:

"Lao Fang, send someone to summon some important ministers. I have something to tell you!"

……

Less than half an hour later, all the courtiers following Zhu Youjian arrived.

They had already known the news of Erbi's arrival.

At this time, the emperor called them over just to discuss the arrangements for the two veterans.

The ministers had confidence in their hearts, so they all signaled to Er Bi and each took their positions.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Wang Lian: "Show your seats to all the ministers."

The little eunuchs shuttled back and forth and placed a square brocade stool next to the minister.

After the monarch was settled, Zhu Youjian smiled and said:

"Before I left the palace, I wanted to find a place to make weapons. However, I was busy with business and had no time to relax. Secondly, I couldn't find a suitable candidate.

The two old ministers are here today. Can you tell me what the regulations are? "

Fan Jingwen has the highest status.

As the only cabinet minister, he is now equivalent to exercising the power of the chief minister.

Hearing this, he spoke first:

“Your Majesty, the weapons manufacturing of our dynasty is divided into two capitals and localities.

Not to mention the local area, Beijing is divided into two departments, one is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and the Internal Supervision Bureau, and under its jurisdiction are the Ordnance Bureau, Warfare Bureau, Gunpowder Bureau, etc. "

After Fan Jingwen introduced the ownership of the Ming Dynasty's weapons and equipment manufacturing, he kept silent.

He was waiting for the emperor's decision.

What they can control now is Nanyang and half of Xiangyang, plus a mountainous area of ​​Yunyang, which is only two and a half prefectures. The demand for firearms is not large.

Now we have to wait and see what the emperor will think about - whether to leave the manufacturing of weapons to the ministers or to the courtiers.

Once the emperor makes a decision, he should worry about the rest.

Fan Jingwen doesn’t want to see any of the shortcomings of Ming Dynasty in the past!

The ministers also remained silent, waiting for the emperor's decision.

They all followed the emperor and rushed out from the desperate situation where they thought they would sacrifice their lives for justice.

As loyal ministers, especially loyal ministers who were determined to die but lost their lives in vain, they understood one thing——

The Ming Dynasty can live without them, but it cannot live without the emperor!

The Zhu family expelled the Tartars and restored peace to the people of the world for 300 years. The Zhu family's people's hearts are not something that only high-ranking officials and nobles can measure!

(Even in the Qing Dynasty, there were still people who used the name of the Zhu family and continued to rebel for more than two hundred years. Until the Sino-Japanese War, there were still people in Guizhou who used the Zhu family to try to restore the country!

During the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-], the whole of China suffered a huge humiliation and was shocked to the point of losing their souls. Only then did the family world transform into the country world.

The Zhu family - people's hearts have been united for more than five hundred years!

However, now, under the invasion of capital, Zhu is called a pig...)

……

"Military preparation is a matter of great importance to the rise and fall of a country! It is not appropriate to leave it to the inner court or the outer court." Zhu Youjian frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"I want to use this matter of military preparation to reestablish the Mohist family!"

Mo family?

Everyone was stunned.

Your Majesty, this is...

The ministers were shocked.

Fan Jingwen's expression changed drastically.

If the inventory of fields was to break the foundation of scholars’ control over the people, then the Mohists——

This is the root of overthrowing the dominance of Confucianism since Dong Zhongshu!

"Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. Your Majesty should think deeply about this."

Fan Jingwen made a vague comment.

Now they are too weak to carry out this strategy to anger the Confucian scholars!

"It's okay!"

"I just want to tell you this. It's enough for everyone to be aware of it. I won't announce it yet.

As for armaments...

I am determined to become independent and no longer belong to the inner court or the outer court. "

Zhu Youjian explained, pointed at Fang Yuegong and said:

"Fang Qing's family is from Gucheng, and Gucheng, the hometown of Fang Qing's family, is a good place.

Surrounded by mountains and blocked by the Han River, this place has always been safe.

I want to set up a workshop in Gucheng and appoint two Bi Qings to make various weapons. "
