There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is mid-July of the 11th year of Chongzhen.

During this period, the Zhenming Army's territory was very stable, the newly appointed prefecture and county officials were very motivated, and various internal affairs were advancing rapidly.

All the brigades affiliated to the Zhenming Army are conducting large-scale drills with soldiers, with an average of two drills a day, which is far more intense than the Ming Army's drills once every three days and once every five days.

The two major factories of Zhenming Ordnance Factory, Fugu and Jiazhou, are also working overtime to produce armaments. A steady stream of guns and artillery are being produced, and all operations are thriving.

Lin Feng saw that Jiazhou was relatively calm and there were no outstanding matters that he needed to deal with, so he prepared to go back to Fugu to have a look.

First of all, it is my base camp there. Although the Governor's Palace has been moved to Jiazhou, there are still some important industries there that need to be inspected.

The other is that Wu Yunna has not been seen for a long time since Wu Yunna was appointed as the commander of the cavalry battalion, and she cannot be left out in the cold.

But now that Lin Feng has a heavy responsibility, he can't just leave. He has to make arrangements for matters in Jiazhou before he can feel at ease.

Lin Feng summoned the heads of various departments at the Governor's Mansion to prepare for the trip to Fugu.

"Everyone in charge, all the affairs of our Zhenming Army have been stable recently. I am going to go back to Fugu, and I may also go to the grassland. I have summoned you today to clarify my arrangements for my trip. Guo Zheng, please tell me first. Recent information." Lin Feng first stated the purpose and then ordered.

"Okay, sir. Since we negotiated peace with Ming Ting, the Tingfengwei Capital Intelligence Station has been set up. Ma Ang is very capable and has just sent back a batch of information. There are two more important ones.

One is that on the second day of June in the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), an explosion occurred in the Anmin Factory in Xizhimen, Beijing. The city walls were destroyed by the earthquake, and there was no room for more than ten miles around, and all the trees fell to pieces. According to reports, there were more than casualties among residents and heavy losses. Firearms production in the capital almost came to a standstill. ” Guo Zhenghui reported.

"Oh, Anmin Factory is the largest firearms factory in the capital. This explosion will have a great impact on the Ming army's combat capabilities, especially the supply of firearms. But there will be heavy casualties among the people in the capital, and we have nothing to be happy about. " Lin Feng answered.

"Yes, it is the common people who suffer from great disasters." Lin Feng and Su Shunnian said with emotion.

"Gunpowder production cannot tolerate neglect for a long time, and fire prevention must be done well. The Logistics Department must learn from the lessons of the Beijing bombing and strengthen inspections and reminders of the gunpowder workshops of Zhenming Ordnance Factory." Lin Feng ordered.

"Understood!" Li Wanxiang replied.

"Sir, there is another important news. The chief minister of the imperial court has been changed. The original chief minister, Kong Zhenyun, had an upright character. He had many arguments with Guo Jingchang, the censor of Zuodu, and was not tactful enough, which made Chongzhen unhappy. Chongzhen ordered The two were fined, and Kong Zhenyun has resigned and returned to his hometown. Liu Yuliang, the Minister of Rites and a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, is temporarily acting as the chief assistant." Guo Zheng continued to report.

"You can't survive in the Chongzhen Dynasty if you are an upright person. The only good official in the cabinet has left. I think he will be replaced faster in the future. We don't need to pay attention to it and just do our own thing." Lin Feng said after listening. .

"Understood!" everyone responded.

"Is there any other important information?" Lin Feng asked.

"No, the area bordering Mingting is very peaceful." Guo Zheng replied.

"Since everything is stable, I will go to Fugu area to inspect as planned. Your departments will perform the affairs of the Governor's Mansion according to their responsibilities. If there is an unexpected major event, such as an attack by the Ming army or the peasant army, report it quickly if time permits. If you can't contact me, you three, Lin Jiakang, Wang Qin, and Su Shunnian, will make the decision in accordance with the principle of the minority obeying the majority, and you will report to me afterwards. Guo Zheng and Fang Xiaoyu will follow me to Fugu for inspection." Lin Feng Lay out the road.

"I'll take the order!" everyone replied.

After the meeting, Lin Feng led his guards to Jiazhou Pier. The group took three fifty-ton steamships upstream along the Yellow River. The speed could reach 5-6 knots. They set off in the evening and set off the next morning. We arrived at Fugu Pier. Fugu, Zhonglie Temple.

Lin Feng's first stop when he arrived in Fugu was the Zhenmingjun Martyrs' Shrine, which had just been completed.

The Martyrs' Shrine is located on a hillside in the south of Fugu City. A staircase goes straight up from the foot of the mountain, with green pine and cypress trees on both sides.

Walking along the steps to the mountainside is a large cemetery, with tombs neatly arranged, where the loyal martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the Zhenming Army are buried.

About a few dozen meters further up, you will come to the summit platform square. In the middle of the square stands a towering monument with six large gilt characters written on it, "Guardian for the Eternal Heroes."

Behind the monument is the Zhenming Martyrs' Ancestral Hall, where tablets of Zhenming martyrs are placed so that they can always enjoy the incense and worship of Zhenming soldiers and civilians.

Lin Feng and others first came to the cemetery and personally cleaned the tombstones of the heroes who sacrificed their lives. Then we came to the Martyrs’ Square, where a grand opening ceremony of the Zhenming Martyrs’ Shrine and commemoration of the Martyrs were held in front of the monument.

Finally, Lin Feng came to the Martyrs' Shrine and personally placed the memorial tablets of Huang Cheng, the deceased soldier of the Annihilation Guard Station outside Jiazhou City, and Li Xiaowei, the battalion commander who died guarding Wubao, on the altar, and offered incense to worship.

The entire Zhongmarty Square was covered with green cypresses and green smoke, and bells rang from time to time. The memorial ceremony was solemn, solemn, sacred and clean, which moved many relatives of the fallen heroes and made the Zhenming officers and soldiers who participated in the ceremony gain a lot of firm determination to fight for the country. .

After Lin Feng attended the ceremony, he immediately decided to designate July 15th every year as Zhenming Zhonglie Public Memorial Day, and hold a memorial ceremony at Zhonglie Square. All Zhenming officers must come to worship in turn.

After leaving the Zhenming Martyrs' Shrine, Lin Feng entered Fugu County through the south gate and came to the Fugu County Government Office that he was once very familiar with.

The new Fugu County Magistrate Chen Jianli, Dianshi Jia Yonggui and others were already waiting at the door to greet him.

Lin Feng came to the county government office and sat down in the lobby, met with officials and government servants who were familiar with the county government office, and listened to a report on the situation in Fugu County.

After listening, Lin Feng said: "Jianli, you are an old man in Fugu County. You know that our Zhenming Army was established and came out of Fugu. Fugu has special significance to us. Your county government must model the execution of the governor. The strategy formulated by the Yamen will manage Fugu well and benefit the people of Fugu."

"Understood! With the solid foundation laid by the Governor himself, Fugu can now be said to be prosperous in all industries, well-connected in government, and can stay open at night. All the people praise our Zhenming Army." Chen Jianli replied.

"The more affirmative the people are, the more conscientious we must be. We must not be lazy and rest on our laurels." Lin Feng explained.

"I will never let my subordinates slack off!" Chen Jianli and others replied.

After leaving the county government, Lin Feng went to the Fugu Farmers Market and Commercial Street, which he personally presided over the renovation, to check around. The market was bustling with people and everything was in good order. It was indeed more prosperous than before.

After walking around and looking at the prosperous Fugu County, Lin Feng returned to the county government office with satisfaction and had lunch with Chen Jianli, Jia Yonggui and others, which was considered as an encouragement to them.

Lin Feng was deeply touched when he returned to Fugu this time. He had just arrived in Fugu and assumed the post of county magistrate more than a year ago. The original Dianshi Ding Yingqi and others were a mountain that was difficult to cross.

Now he has become the governor who rules nine states and counties and forces the imperial court to recognize him. The former officials of the county government who firmly followed him have risen to high positions. The original enemies have long since died, which makes people feel that things are impermanent. .
