Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

"Lu Qing, I am going to Baoding Mansion to take up my post, and I will bring the Tianxiong Army along with me."

Emperor Chongzhen stepped forward, held Lu Xiangsheng's arms, and said with firm eyes: "When suppressing the remnants of Bailian, gradually expand to [-], and recruit more trainees in the military lecture hall, and train my Tianxiong army into one A strong army.

This is to be done in secret.

The extra posts will be paid out of internal funds.

Under the rule of Beizhili, the guards set up were corrupt, eating nothing and drinking soldiers' blood. In the future, I will carry out military reforms in Beizhili and get rid of the bad government. "

Lu Xiangsheng opened his eyes slightly, showing a look of astonishment.

As soon as the emperor's words came out, he guessed in his heart that the emperor's plot was not limited to the military reform in Beizhili.

Especially when thinking about Tianjin's withdrawal of guards and the establishment of a prefecture, Lu Xiangsheng knew that after he was firmly established as the governor of Zhili, he was afraid that many new plans would appear in the prefectures and counties in the north of Zhili.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng felt heavy pressure.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng developed a strong fighting spirit.

The emperor asked him to be the governor of Zhili, because he wanted to clean up the bad government, reorganize the government, rectify the administration of officials, and make Ming Dynasty gradually change!
Lu Xiangsheng saluted and said, "I understand!"

Compared with other officials of Ming Dynasty, good ministers like Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu are all absolutely loyal to Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards such pillars of talent was clear, telling them to stay away from the turmoil in the court and not to get involved in the so-called party disputes.

Go to the place where Daming needs to sit in the town, give the corresponding authority, and gradually make corresponding changes according to the plan proposed by yourself and the actual situation of the town.

There is Sun Chuanting in Shuntian Prefecture, Lu Xiangsheng in Beizhili, Chen Yansheng in Tianjin, Chen Qiyu in Yansui, Sun Chengzong in Liaodong, Yuan Keli in Shandong, and Sun Yuanhua in Denglai. '

Thinking of the planning of these days, Emperor Chongzhen secretly thought, "With this group of pillars of talent, they will guard the northern borders of the Ming Dynasty."

In addition, Zhou Yuji, Liu Xingzuo, Man Gui, and Ma Shilong, a group of powerful generals, belong to their respective soldiers and horses and are scattered in these areas.

Especially Zhou Yuji, Li Mingzhong, Mao Chenglu, and Kong Youde, who are studying in the Xiyuan Lecture Hall.

Including Cao Wenzhao, Huang Degong and other generals who will be sent abroad later.

As long as they solve the food and payment matters for them, and don't send the so-called guardian eunuchs, the situation will gradually improve, and the chaos in the Ming Dynasty will be stabilized. '

According to what Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, the affairs of the court should be handled by him, and the affairs of northern Xinjiang should be handled by the good ministers and generals he selected.

Focusing on the basic plan of building Beizhili, carry out labor relief, increase productivity, renovate water conservancy facilities, renovate roads, open up maritime affairs, promote sweet potatoes, actively provide disaster relief, and clarify tariffs...

After enduring the chaotic chess game of the Chongzhen Dynasty for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally asked him to find a weak balance point.

What he has to do now is to make this balance point stable, and gradually make it tilt in the opposite direction!

Killing a batch of family thieves, Shuo Shu, made Emperor Chongzhen's internal funds extremely substantial. This is an absolute advantage he has in his hands. As long as the path is correct, Ming will only get better and better.

"Go Lu Qing, do what you should do."

Emperor Chongzhen looked moved, looked at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "I am here in the Forbidden City, here in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for the news of Lu Qing's triumphant return!"

"I retire!"

Lu Xiangsheng saluted solemnly and said concisely.

Unlike other civil servants in the court, Lu Xiangsheng didn't like to talk too much. He always got things done first and then talked about other things. With such a calm personality, he would definitely be a cabinet minister of Ming Dynasty in the future.

It's just that in the current chaotic situation in Ming Dynasty, no matter whether Lu Xiangsheng or Sun Chuanting, it is impossible for them to be promoted in the court. They must sit in the local government, otherwise many things will not be able to be carried out.

"My lord, there is news from Tianjin."

After Lu Xiangsheng left, Lu Jiude, the eunuch of the inner factory, hurried to Dongnuange, held a memorial, bowed and saluted and said, "Two docks have been built in the shipyard supervised by the inner factory."

"Give it to me!"

Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand.

It's been a long time coming.

The shipyard established in Tianjin has also begun to take shape. Judging from this momentum, it will not be long before the Tianjin Shipyard will be fully completed.

There are a group of Western shipbuilders who, together with the shipbuilders they transferred earlier, are working hard on shipbuilding in Tianjin Shipyard. As long as the food and wages are supplied in time, they will continue to build ships.

"Okay, Tianjin Shipyard has made a great contribution this time."

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Chongzhen praised without stinginess: "After the two docks are completed, the construction of sea-going ships in advance can follow.

To reward!

Wang Banban, this matter is up to you. The eunuch in charge of the factory, as well as the corresponding craftsmen, will be rewarded. At the same time, send someone to Tianjin to tell the eunuch in charge of the factory to complete the subsequent shipyard as soon as possible.

After the shipyard here is completed, we will find a suitable area to build a new shipyard. At the same time, we must hurry up to recruit manpower to control seagoing ships. "

"Here!"

Wang Chengen immediately bowed in response.

Now Emperor Chongzhen has plenty of silver in his internal funds, but food is in short supply. Maybe it is enough now, but what about in the future?
Before the popularization of sweet potatoes and corresponding results are not seen, the crisis of food shortage in Ming Dynasty will not be resolved in a day.

Especially the Tianxiong Army, the Yongwei Camp, and the Zhongyong Army. Once the expansion is completed in various places, the allocation of food and salaries within the imperial court will be resolved by the treasury.

However, Emperor Chongzhen issued a secret decree that the part to be expanded needs internal funds to solve it.

As soon as the gun is fired, ten thousand taels of gold.

It was okay when there was no war, but once there was a war, money was needed. It really made Emperor Chongzhen sit on the mountain and eat the money, and he could not afford it for a few years even if he had to spend the money inside.

This has not counted the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion that will be captured after the resettlement of the victims from Shanshan and Shaanxi is over.

The military generals promoted by the above-mentioned armies are all fierce generals that Emperor Chongzhen valued, and they are loyal to Daming.

The frontier army guarding Liaodong, the frontier army guarding the nine border towns, and the counter-insurgency army suppressing the rebellion, including the troops from all over the Ming Dynasty, have not been counted.

If the state treasury can't afford food and payment, will Emperor Chongzhen solve it or not?

Therefore, on the internal side, opening up new sources of income and developing maritime trade is something that Emperor Chongzhen must do and realize as soon as possible.

"The current situation can be called a turning point for the Ming Dynasty." Emperor Chongzhen looked at the memorial in his hand and murmured to himself, "From the third year of Chongzhen to the fifth year of Chongzhen, in these three years, the overall situation can be stabilized. All plans and deployments are completed, so Daming can still be saved!!"
