With Fulin's accession to the throne, both the capital and Shenyang have a little emperor, facing each other far away.
The Ming Dynasty's defensive position gradually turned into an offensive position, while Jianluo turned into a defensive position. As one ebb and flow, both sides were silently licking their wounds, waiting for recovery.
In September, officials from various places returned to Beijing one after another, including Yang Sichang.
Yang Sichang's return to Beijing seemed calm, but in fact many people wanted to see what actions Zhou Zheng, a former opponent, would do.
Zhou Yanru was the first assistant, and as he straightened out all kinds of affairs, he became more and more proficient in long-sleeved dance, and gradually controlled the political affairs, as if he was a real first assistant, covering Zhou Zhengdu.
Zhou Zhengze is still focusing on his reforms, almost all of his eyes are in Nanzhili.
Nanzhili is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty. If this place can be reformed properly, other places will not only be used for reference, or even push the past horizontally, it is not a problem at all.
Zhou Zheng didn't have so much energy to spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, or even unable to do it.
Qian Qianyi became more restrained, doing his things peacefully, rarely showing his face, Guo Weiwei's character of running around and talking nonsense had changed, and he was quite calm.
Li Banghua, a neutral cabinet minister, is in charge of military logistics, money supply, armament research and development, replacement, soldier recruitment, training, and supervision and many other powers.
In fact, most of the power is concentrated on logistics.
As for Yang Sichang, who returned to Beijing, Zhou Yanru hadn't assigned him any responsibility yet, as if he deliberately left him alone.
Zhou Zheng, Zhang Heyi and others are visiting the Military Bureau outside the city.
In the Armament Bureau, there are not only Ming Dynasty firearms experts, such as Song Yingxing, Bi Maokang and others, but also some Xiyi people, who were recruited from Macau and other places.
Zhou Zheng touched a few style cannons, rushing cold and heavy, and he was emboldened in his heart.
Zhang Heyi followed Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "My lord, this new type of tornado cannon has an effective shelling range of five miles, and the gunpowder has also been improved. Whether it is siege or field battle, it is powerful!"
Zhou Zheng touched the artillery, nodded lightly, and said, "Well, we must continue to work hard. In the future war, this thing will be the key to victory. Whether it is on land or at sea."
Zhang Heyi greeted him and said, "My lord, go and see the bird blows."
Zhou Zheng nodded, and a large group of people followed, with different expressions.
Song Yingxing and the others were delighted, and it was a great encouragement to them that Zhou Zheng, Zheng Xibo, could come in person.
Coming to a row of black spears, Zhang Heyi introduced: "These bird guns combine the advantages of Daming and Xiyi. They have a long range and great power. The only disadvantage is that they are not easy to change and they are easy to explode."
Hearing this, Zhou Zheng nodded secretly. This is not a manufacturing technology problem, but a process technology that cannot be reached.
Zhou Zheng tried for a while and continued to move forward.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't say much, Zhang Heyi continued to move forward and introduced slowly. Obviously, he also used his mind.
"This is armor. The Armament Bureau is developing some lightweight and hard armors to equip soldiers in the future..."
"These weapons are various, sharp and tough, far beyond the previous..."
"My lord, these are grenades. They are extremely easy to use and powerful..."
"This is a naval battleship model developed by the Armed Forces Bureau, equipped with 50 artillery pieces and 200 soldiers..."
Zhou Zheng walked all the way, listening to Zhang Heyi's introduction, nodding to himself.
At the end, Zhou Zheng looked at Song Yingxing and others and said, "I will allocate another 500,000 yuan to you and continue to work hard. In addition, I am considering adjusting the rank of the Armament Bureau. The Armament Bureau will be subordinated to the Ministry of War. Official positions at all levels will be promoted."
Song Yingxing and the others looked overjoyed, and quickly raised their hands and said, "The lower officials wait for Xie Zhengxibo's promotion."
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said: "Do it hard, the court will not treat those who have done anything wrong."
Song Yingxing was naturally overjoyed and worshipped again.
Zhou Zheng not only gave money, but also got promoted. How could they be unhappy with such a good thing.
Zhou Zheng had lunch with the officers of the Military Armament Bureau and then returned to Beijing.
On the way, Zhou Zheng and Zhang Heyi heard all kinds of things in Beijing.
Zhang Heyi wondered, with a weird look: "My lord, Yuansuke, does this want to see your attitude, or is it deliberately to separate you from Yang Ge and want to make checks and balances?"
Zhou Zheng also shook his head with a little laughter. Zhou Yanru had to look at his face and act, and would he use Yang Sichang to balance him
Liu Liuzhe glanced behind his eyes and waved his hand to make them step back. Then he said, "Second Young Master, there is news. Li Hengbing has been acting quite a lot recently. It seems that the goal is to enter the cabinet."
Zhou Zheng couldn't see through this person Li Hengbing, and couldn't guess what he was going to do, so he was always on guard and never used it.
"Entering the pavilion?" Zhou Zheng muttered to himself, squinting, with a thoughtful expression.
Zhang Heyi was also a little surprised, and said, "What is he going to do when he jumps out?"
Zhou Zheng has a lot of veteran qualifications, and there are a lot of people who can join the cabinet. Why can't it be an'outsider'
Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled and said: "Let's see, this one has any bargaining chips."
Zhang Heyi suddenly understood that Li Hengbing naturally knew his own weight, and if he wanted to join the cabinet, he had to convince Zhou Zheng and them, otherwise he would not be able to convince the crowd!
Liu Liuzhe whispered again: "Jin Yiwei found out that Yang Sichang is in Huguang and Jiangxi. Would you like to do something about it?"
Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what we can find. This one, there must be something hidden. One day in the future, it will definitely be a pleasant surprise."
Zhang Heyi frowned, and said, "My lord, since it is determined that this old Yang Ge is ill-intentioned, why not preemptively?"
Zhou Zheng walked slowly with his hands behind his back, saying: "Zhou Yanru represents the old bureaucrats and Jiangnan scholars, Qian Qianyi represents Donglin and Fushe, Yang Sichang is from Jiangxi, Shanxi and other places, and Li Banghua is a neutral faction. These people represent almost all the power classes in Daming. At this time, I need them to be there."
Zhang Heyi listened and nodded silently.
With these people, the reform is not the "popular will" of the world, and it is not just going its own way. If there are not, then it is against the people of the world.
Zhou Zheng walked for a while, and said: "Yao Tongshun, remember, assign some things about the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Rites to Yang Sichang. You can make the specifics, let them breathe, and then give Fan Wenjing.
Yao Tongshun carefully remembered, and then said: "My lord, Yuanfu said that there is not enough money and food, and I want adults to allocate some."
Zhou Zheng is not short of money and food, and he casually said: "Give him 200,000."
Yao Tong complied and wrote down in the notebook.
A group of people walked, and Zhang Heyi said again: "My lord, there are more movements in Gansu. Horqin deliberately sent a Taiji, the son of their profuse sweat, and brought a Gege, as if he wanted to marry me, Daming. "
Zhou Zheng immediately understood that Horqin was going to bet on both sides.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Leave this to Yuanfu to do."
Zhang Heyi was startled, and then smiled thoughtfully: "Yes, I will go to Yuanfu when I go back. It happens to be 200,000 things, I will tell him." (End of this chapter)
