Old and Beautiful in the Red Chamber

Zhang Shouli's parachute into the court made the old and new officials collectively blow up the pot.

The older generation knew about Zhang's family affairs, so they almost couldn't resist abducting them to the Daming Palace to admire the emperor's old man's face!Of course, more people are worried and anxious all day long. The Zhang family, who had slapped the emperor heavily in the face, was brought back to the court today, and even appointed high officials. Could it be that they are no longer ready to be emperors anymore?Is this a hint that he wants to attack the emperor?Is the battle between the two emperors going to heat up?Who are they with?I have only been on the throne for a few years now, is the foundation stable?Can you beat the emperor?They had no doubts about the fighting power of the emperor before, but now they are all over 70!Life at seventy is rare since ancient times!What if he dies before he can defeat the present?How many people died and how many families were ruined when they seized the throne—probably Tai. Zu Taizong passed the throne too peacefully in the two dynasties, so it was very ups and downs in the emperor's time. The heart is wild, and he also took a big wife, and in his later years, he was even more ups and downs. He changed the giants of Shenjing [-] % -ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!They don't want to stand in line at all!Will he be beaten on both sides as a wall?Why is it so difficult to finish your career quietly!

Of course, there are also other middle-aged and elderly officials who are more ambitious and feel that wealth and wealth are in danger, and it is better to fight. They like to fish in troubled waters, and they are called jumping up and down for a while.

And the younger generation hadn't heard much about the Zhang family. They were envious and incomprehensible to Zhang Shouli, a parachutist like Zhang Shouli. Where did this guy appear, a relative of the emperor?Even relatives of the royal family can't be parachuted into high-ranking officials like this, right?How embarrassing is this for those who have just started their careers and are trying to climb up?

Zhang Shouli didn't care about everyone's thoughts, life was too short, since he decided to re-enter the court, it would be too embarrassing for him to turn his back on his back!In the past, Zhang Sanying's eyes turned to the current Zhang Sanye, and the big move came - to bring up the restoration of the Shenji Camp and continue the research and development of firearms!

In the pre-Ming period, the firearms of the Japanese country can be said to be very advanced. In the Ming Dynasty, several emperors were enthusiastic about the research and development of gunpowder weapons. Not to mention the continued research and development of cold weapons, firearms were vigorously developed. Although the Ming Dynasty was finally wiped out by a group of migrant workers, it was really not the fault of weapons.After the establishment of this dynasty, it absorbed the legacy left by the previous Ming Dynasty. For the sake of national peace, especially to drive away the joint invasion of Qing soldiers and Mongolian soldiers, but also really reluctant to continue to die by swords after the war, Tai. The research and development of firearms strives to directly crush the opponent, so as to avoid many deaths in hand-to-hand combat; after that, Taizong, a fighting maniac, was not satisfied with the results of just driving foreigners out of the Central Plains, and decided to leave the customs to make people his own or drive them away. There is a need for war , naturally increased the research and development of weapons; in the early days of the emperor, the Qing soldiers who had been driven away from far away made their last effort and resisted stubbornly with the support of the foreign country Ohros (Russia). The emperor was so angry that he directly ordered to fight, After slamming down a piece of Russian land, northern Xinjiang completely stopped.The great troubles in northern Xinjiang have subsided, and the Tibetan sects that were secretly provoking troubles were cut down and brought into the arms of the emperor. The small problems left by the previous dynasty in the south thought that all the troops of the Tian dynasty had gone to the north to make something big. Then it was also pacified. So far, the four seas are the real peace. The battles in other places can only be said to be sporadic battles. Without enough enemies to restrain him, the emperor's IQ has finally dropped irresistibly in some aspects, or Said, after the country was too peaceful without enemies, the emperor paid more and more attention to reputation, and decided to change the bad reputation of the Situ family who was secretly accused of being too murderous, and become a benevolent monarch—then the emperor used firearms to hurt Tai In the name of harming Tianhe, he ordered the abolition of the Shenji Battalion, and the firearms were put into the national treasury, and he advocated horseback riding and shooting.

Zhang Shouli's speech was clearly embarrassing!The veterans looked at each other in blank dismay, admiring his courage so much!Is this because the Zhang family was not cruel enough back then?Or do you want to take revenge on the emperor?Believe it or not, the emperor sent someone to kill you!Even today I will not agree!Do you want the word filial piety?

However—now he has approved Zhang Shouli's performance!Order the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War to cooperate with the reopened Shenji Battalion to resume the research on firearms and the training of soldiers using firearms, etc. Even the emperor hinted that everyone should follow suit, and don't delay in these things-the power of firearms should not be underestimated After seeing the world map displayed by Zhang Shouli and comparing the size of the Tian Dynasty, which they thought was vast and abundant, on the world map, how could the two emperors care about confrontation?The firearm technology of the Frang machine in the Ming Dynasty was very good, and it was passed back to the world. Who knows what they have developed into now?Could they be jealous of Tian Chao?One day they had bad intentions. Can Tian Chao, who has long neglected firearms research, deal with it?Don't make excuses about the distance!The Sanbao eunuch was able to bring a large number of people to the West, who knows if the barbarians will bring troops in one day!develop!Must develop! !

The study of firearms is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Both emperors emphasized the need to pay attention to safety and not to rush.In addition to developing weapons, Zhang Shouli pointed the finger at today's army.

Tian Chao's current army's combat effectiveness is worrying. The general public has not been able to fight all the year round. Everyone is too slack. The soldiers are not drilled, and the number of soldiers has been reduced. The old generals are dead, and those who are not dead are almost old. The noble descendants who could have been hereditary military generals are not like Jia She and others. They are dandy, incompetent, sparse in martial arts, not involved in production and extravagant. The problem is even more serious when occupying a hereditary official position but lack of ability. The descendants of the founding generals are full of fights, only Wang Ziteng can see it, and half of Shi Ding is added. Everyone, since ancient times, it has been hard for generals, it is a kind of sadness for me to be a hero, and a hero is not much better!There is no more fighting, if the children and grandchildren are still shining on the road of martial arts, if the royal family dislikes and wears a self-respecting hat, the whole family will be finished!Even if it's okay, how can generals rely on promotion to get rich when there is no war?There is no future, of course we must find a way to repost!From this point of view, the Wang family of Nan'an County is really a warrior. For a hundred years, the family has insisted on martial arts and made achievements in the coastal areas.

If the military issue is not handled well, even if the hard conditions of weapons are improved, it will be difficult to play much role.

Zhang Shouli didn't know much about military matters, but he proposed a new way to train soldiers—since educated people can be trained in schools, why can't soldiers also be trained in this way?In the past, military generals were mostly trained through their own parents' seniors, Shangguan's fancy training, hiring masters to teach, or simply fighting themselves to become talents through actual combat time and time again-the number of people trained in this way is naturally not as good as the number of people who can be taught by a school. Even if there are hundreds of people, you have to consider what if the children and grandchildren like Jia She can't afford to support them until they are exhausted and can't become talents, or if they are unlucky enough to train a hero who dies young before showing his power, it will be too late or he will have no energy. What to cultivate.Situ Xi thinks this method is good, you can try it!

Zhang Shouli published two books in a row, which shocked the entire court. Although everyone could not understand that he would not do his own job of "specializing in correcting and impeaching a hundred officials, disputing injustice, admirals, and being the eyes and ears of the emperor" Going to play reform. Reform, what a man from a family of civil servants ran to raise the issue of arming the army, but it is undeniable that he put down two big thunders, everyone should be shocked or should be shocked, and these two things are not trivial. , there are many things contained in it, and everyone will definitely not be too leisurely in the next few years, let alone the reforms in government that will be involved in the future.

Not to mention that corrupt officials are waiting to be resolved by everyone, and most of the debt owed by the Ministry of Households is still waiting to be recovered. Even the official system of this dynasty has come to be reformed.The official system of this dynasty is complicated, with one set of real posts and one set of false posts. Some of the titles of real posts and false posts are the same. There are also hereditary military officers as in the previous Ming Dynasty, and there are also those who spend money to buy officials. Buying officials with money is different from spending money to select officials. I want to find a good official position or a good place to work in various ways, and most of them are actual officials—in addition, Tai Zu was a bit willful when he decided on official names, and some of them were borrowed from previous dynasties, and several official names combined. Yes, I have my own thoughts, and it has been used by many generations. Many officials have weird names, and people don’t know what they are in charge of. In the past, there were not many officials, but now there are many officials. It's messed up, it's impossible not to change it!

And all aspects of innovation require money, and the treasury really doesn't have that much money, so what should we do?Moreover, everyone was staring at the matter in the direction, and there were naturally objections. If it could divert everyone's attention... Zhang Shouli looked at the model of the treasure ship he got from Jia She, and had an idea—then the people Situ Xi secretly trained brought with him Tea, silk, satin and porcelain are waiting to go to sea, and they will be exchanged for boats of gold, silver, jewelry, and western novelties. The latter will generate a lot of income from selling, and it will also open the door to a new world for Situ Xi. Ministers who continue to oppose foreign trade according to the old rules and feel that big countries should give small countries various rewards when they go to sea, should they go to do business? New and old big ships are loaded with boxes of goods, equipped with new firearms developed by the Ministry of Industry, and extra Take out a few boats for those courtier families who follow his policy and have no money owed by the household department~ We who insist on the ancestral family law can't force people to abolish the codes and forget the ancestors, can we?As for those who can't even pay back the treasury's money, how can there be money to buy goods to go to sea?

Then in the face of interests, what will everyone do?

Well, under the leadership of the "Desperate Third Master", our imperial court is really getting more and more energetic
