Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Yuan Keli went to Beijing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. He had a clear understanding of the Liao Bureau and had clear reform policies for the established powers of the Ministry of War. This made Zhu Youxiao very happy. Having such a pillar of the country sitting in the Ministry of War planned on his behalf. As long as the Liao strategy can solve the problems encountered, it is very likely to be effectively implemented.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao held the power of life and death, but if he wanted to achieve success, he alone was not enough.

No matter how strong a person is, he cannot be stronger than a group.

If the emperor alone can solve everything, then what is the use of having hundreds of civil and military officials?

Therefore, the strategy against Liao, which involves many levels, must have a group of pillars who are trustworthy and willing to do practical things in key positions, and they must be given enough power to ensure that the overall plan is based on the same plan. Propelled by will!

Zhu Youxiao is very clear about his own advantages and is familiar with the main context of this period of history. With this transcendent advantage, what he has to do is to promote the right people to the right positions, so that those who have ideas and abilities can You can move forward in the general direction he pointed out.

The Qianqing Palace is brightly lit late at night.

After discussing his ideas with Yuan Keli, Zhu Youxiao stayed in Dongnuan Pavilion and continued to improve his planned strategy against Liao. After all, this was an important matter.

At present, Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng are working on rectification matters in the Beijing camp. Yuan Keli went to Beijing to take up the post of Minister of War, Han Zanzhou was sent to Dongjiang Town to read out the secret decree, Liu Xingzuo was transferred to Tianjin to take up an important position, and Sun Yuanhua was promoted to the governor of Denglai. The overall strategic plan is in Implement step by step.

However, just because the overall strategic plan is finalized does not mean that everything will be fine. After all, there are still too many specific tactical arrangements to consider and implement.

No matter how good the planning is at the strategic level, if it is not implemented effectively at the tactical level, it means that you have too much ambition and too much ambition, and this is where many people fail.

"Your Majesty, when the Western Police Bureau was inspecting the war bureau, they found an interesting gadget." Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, saw that his prince had been busy, so he walked to the palace with something in his hands and smiled slightly. He lowered his head and said, "My lord, would you like to take a rest and take a look at this gadget?"

"What?"

Zhu Youxiao put down his imperial pen, his eyes were a little sore. He was busy at his desk all the time, which gave Zhu Youxiao a headache.

Speaking of which, under the autocratic rule of imperial power, the people most emperors saw the most were their trusted eunuchs serving in front of the emperor.

As a lonely person, the only people who can really say some thoughtful words are not the concubines in the harem, not the children born to him, and not the civil servants of the outer dynasty.

Therefore, the relationship between the emperor and the eunuchs is by no means a simple one of master and servant. Many times when the emperor encounters something upset, the one who can make the emperor happy is the controversial eunuch.

"This thing is called a telescope."

Liu Ruoyu held the thing in his hand, bowed his head slightly and said, "It is said that during the Wanli period, Western missionaries brought it to Beijing. It seems that they were specially designed to start teaching in Beijing..."

Telescope?

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at what Liu Ruoyu was holding, and immediately reached out to take it. Isn't this a monocular telescope?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and pulled open the originally small telescope.

Liu Ruoyu was shocked when he saw this. He didn't expect that his prince actually knew how to manipulate this thing.

"There is no such thing in the palace?"

Zhu Youxiao played with the telescope in his hand and asked Liu Ruoyu.

"No."

Liu Ruoyu shook his head and said.

That's right, this thing was only created in the European continent at the end of the Wanli Dynasty, so it's normal if it doesn't exist.

Zhu Youxiao smiled. This reminded him of some film and television dramas in his previous life. This thing existed in the early Ming Dynasty. This shows that the scriptwriter's historical skills are weak. It was not until the late Ming Dynasty that the telescope was spread with a group of missionaries who traveled across the ocean. Entering the Ming Dynasty, the original purpose of this object was to gain attention and knock on the closed door of China.

Why did you forget this thing?

Zhu Youxiao stood up from the throne and walked quickly outside Dongnuan Pavilion. Upon seeing this, Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lifted his robe to follow. At this moment, he didn't know what his prince wanted to do.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

Ignoring the guards and eunuchs on duty outside the palace, Zhu Youxiao walked to an open space, raised the telescope in his hand, pointed it at the high-hanging bright moon, and closed one eye to observe, but the blurred lenses made The overall sense of perception is very poor, even the bright moon seen is blurry.

"The production level is too different."

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, put down the telescope he was holding, and then handed it to Liu Ruoyu and said: "Tomorrow, send someone to the Arms Bureau, give this thing to Jiao Xu, and tell him to find a group of craftsmen who know how to burn kilns and ask them to burn it." Making colored glaze.”

"Your Majesty, firing colored glaze may be time-consuming and labor-intensive."

When the knowledgeable Liu Ruoyu heard this, he couldn't help but reply: "If you want to make colored glaze, it will cost a lot..."

"Isn't it just a pile of sand?"

Zhu Youxiao said: "Use soda ash and quartz sand (silica sand) as raw materials, and the rest is burned. Can't we find the exact ratio and burn it?"

Ok?

This time Liu Ruoyu was stunned.

Seeing Liu Ruoyu's expression, Zhu Youxiao remembered that in the Ming Dynasty, although there was such a thing as colored glaze, it was neither pure nor transparent enough.

These things were made or passed in from outside, and they were more for fun to show the nobility of status, but they had very low practicality.

"Write down everything I just said and tell it to Jiao Xu tomorrow."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said, "Jiao Xu will know what's going on as soon as he hears it."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

"By the way, tell Jiao Xu."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said again: "Ask him to figure this thing out as soon as possible, and then use it as a blueprint to build a batch of binoculars that can see several miles away. Telescopes are too exaggerated, and telescopes are more appropriate. "

"Here!"

Liu Ruoyu bowed and bowed.

Zhu Youxiao is a pragmatic person. If something is beneficial to him, he will take it and use it. If a batch of these telescopes can be built and used in the military, there will be many benefits.

Don't say anything else.

Equip it to the elite scouts in the army, so that when exploring the enemy's situation, they can detect the enemy's military deployment from a distance, and the enemy does not even respond at all.

If you don’t accept it tomorrow night, you are the best among the best!

Not everyone can be called a night-timer!

Zhu Youxiao even thought that if a batch of telescopes could be installed in the army, not to mention a few, just a few hundred, then if he waited for his personal expedition, the enemy situation survey on various fronts could be clearly recorded and gathered Taken together, this is a huge blow to Jianlu. Before the battle begins, you can infer the enemy's basic movements by inquiring about the enemy's situation, and the advantage is reflected.

"Hold this matter tight and let Jiao Xu pay attention to it."

Zhu Youxiao thought of this and emphasized to Liu Ruoyu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will send a reliable person to convey your message."

Seeing his own emperor like this, Liu Ruoyu paid more attention to it now.

Under the autocratic rule of imperial power, the only advantage is that whatever the emperor values ​​​​will be valued more by the people below. In order to please the emperor, no matter how hard it is, it must be tinkered with. Zhu Youxiao is still very fond of this. I like it, after all, what he wants is this kind of high efficiency, but if he uses this name to do something corrupt, perverting the law, and engaging in malpractice for personal gain, that's a different story!
