Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 15 Zhang Weixian

"There are a few important military and political matters that your Military Aircraft Department must handle immediately. It must be done in two days!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferently, looked at Sun Chengzong and Wang Qia, and said in a cold tone.

"First, screen the arsenal and clean up officials, how much of the weapons you have prepared can be used, listen clearly, if you can take them out and distribute them to the army, they can be used on the battlefield!
Second, send people to conduct inspections on the Military Weapons Bureau under the Ministry of Industry, register all available firearms and ordnance, and separately pull out gunpowder and gunsmiths, which will be of great use to me.

Thirdly, in the name of the Military Plane Department, issue orders to the nobles, officials and gentry in the capital to be renounced fifty times in each house, and those who fail to pass the examination and exceed ten will be convicted!

Fourth, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, order the Wucheng Censorship Office and the Wucheng Military Commander to impose martial law in the capital from now on.

On the side of the five-city soldiers and horses, more troops are patrolling the squares of the capital. "

"The minister waits for the order!"

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Zhou Yanru had different expressions. After hearing the order of Emperor Chongzhen, they immediately bowed their hands to agree.

In times of turmoil, heavy codes should be used, and kindness cannot solve the problem.

Before taking control of the situation in the court, Emperor Chongzhen would not appear in person rashly. This would be against the authority of the emperor. He would use the current situation to force Sun Chengzong and the others to do things and make them understand the privilege of the military aircraft department.

After repelling the invading Jianlu, the Emperor Chongzhen would not abolish the military aircraft department specially set up according to the situation. This will be his basic board from now on.

"Come on!"

Seeing Sun Chengzong and the others, they started to get busy, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly.

"The servant is here."

Li Fengxiang, who was waiting outside the main hall, walked quickly into the hall, cupped his hands to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "My lord, what are your orders?"

"Go, send someone to pass my oral order to the British Duke Zhang Weixian, and come to the palace to see me immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen said coldly without even thinking about it.

"Slave order!"

Li Fengxiang immediately cupped his hands and walked out of the hall quickly, preparing to send his confidants to the British government immediately to convey the emperor's oral order.

When the Military Aircraft Department was established, Emperor Chongzhen made three rules, non-members of the Military Aircraft Department were not allowed to enter the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department.

Even the eunuchs, except for Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, could only wait outside the hall. The reason why Pang Tianshou was able to drive in just now was because of the permission of Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen issued the oral order, Sun Chengzong and others who were busy nearby, heard the words, their movements obviously stopped for a moment, and then they recovered their demeanor, suppressing the surprise in their hearts, and then busy with their respective affairs.

The several military counselors who were temporarily transferred from the side were even more careful in assisting, not daring to slack off in the slightest. At this moment, everyone could feel the anger emanating from the emperor.

Ignoring the busy Sun Chengzong and others, Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the place where the map was hung, looked at the situation in front of him, frowned slightly, and thought about how to win this battle.

"Wang Shangshu, you will be in charge of the screening of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and you will be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War. Coordinating with the Ministry of Military Affairs to do a good job in this matter, there will be no problem."

"Li Shilang, please go to the Ministry of Industry to clarify the matter of the General Armament Bureau. Now our military aircraft department is short of manpower, so we must hurry up."

"Zhou Shilang, you will be in charge of issuing orders to the places where the nobles, officials and gentry are dispatched from the capital, and you will be in charge. You must do a good job in the assessment, and you must not slack off in the slightest."

"Old man, I'm in charge of issuing transfer orders to the Censorship Office of the Five Cities Patrolling Cities, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. We need to send more people to communicate with each other about the matters we are in charge of, and we must do these important tasks well."

While Emperor Chongzhen was meditating, Sun Chengzong, a veteran minister who had served as the Liaodong strategist, entered his role and assigned tasks to Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Zhou Yanru.

Under the current situation, everyone had no other thoughts, and with the emperor staring at them, they did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Dang even nodded, and then bowed their hands to the contemplative Emperor Chongzhen, and then left the main hall of the Military Aircraft Office. Go to handle the affairs of the division.

The Military Aircraft Department is still in its infancy, and the military aircraft counselors under its jurisdiction are short of manpower. Many things need to be handled by ministers such as Sun Chengzong and Wang Qia.

But this was also the intention of Emperor Chongzhen.

Tell Sun Chengzong and the others to take advantage of the current situation before it gets too bad to get familiar with their own environment and understand the authority of the Military Aircraft Department. It will no longer be a problem for the subsequent Military Aircraft Department to operate.

"Your Majesty, please see the British Lord!"

After about a cup of tea, Li Fengxiang's voice sounded outside the main hall, calling Emperor Chongzhen to come out of his meditation.

Looking at the empty main hall, he showed a little bit of astonishment at first, and frowned slightly, but soon he understood, showed a smile, and shook his head slightly.

I almost misunderstood them for what I did intentionally.

"Xuan."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, said calmly, then walked towards the main seat, sat down, and saw an old man in a python suit, entering the hall respectfully.

He is Zhang Weixian?

During the two dynasties of Apocalypse and Chongzhen, when the political situation was the most turbulent, politicians who stood up to stabilize the situation and reap benefits.

"Minister Zhang Weixian, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Walking in front of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Weixian cupped his hands and bowed.

"There is no need to be too polite, give me a seat, and watch tea."

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferently, looked at Li Fengxiang who was waiting outside the hall, and said.

Li Fengxiang, who got the order, hurriedly instructed the accompanying eunuchs to move seats and make tea. After a lot of busy work, Zhang Weixian was a little nervous, half sitting on his buttocks, ready to listen to Emperor Chongzhen's orders.

"Mr. Britain, what do you think of the current invasion of Jianlu?"

After observing Zhang Weixian's actions for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Do you know that the Jian captives who are invading now have already broken through the key pass at Xifeng Pass."

Hearing this, Zhang Weixian was terrified, his face showed shock, his hands trembled twice, obviously he didn't expect that the Jianlu who invaded Daming broke through Xifengkou.

"Your Majesty, Jianlu breached Xifeng's entrance, this move is not good for my Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Weixian hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "For the present plan, the Ministry of War should issue an order as soon as possible to guard Guan Jinning's army and send reinforcements back!"

What a joke!
Da'ankou, Longjingguan and other places were breached by Jianlu, and now Xifengkou was also breached. Wouldn't Zunhua and Santunying be completely exposed to Jianlu's troops?

Although Zhang Weixian is not in the imperial court, he is also in charge of the Chinese military governor's mansion and leads the Beijing camp errands. He is relatively clear about the defense of the capital.

"At the moment, the Military Aircraft Department has issued an order to handle these matters."

Looking at the excited Zhang Weixian, who was sitting with Emperor Chongzhen, he said, "Now that the country is at its most dangerous time, would the Lord of England be willing to come forward and help me share the burden?"
