I am the carpenter king

Chapter 556 Earthquake and Mutiny

Regarding Emperor Tianqi's reorganization of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, many people paid attention, but very few people really expressed their opinions. After all, this is Emperor Tianqi's pro-army, and there will not be too many people to intervene.

The most important thing in this reform is the selection of personnel. Emperor Tianqi strictly limited the interference of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in local administration, but transformed Jinyiwei and Dongchang into institutions similar to the National Security Bureau of later generations.Although the responsibilities on the surface have been reduced a lot, the power has not been reduced, but has a tendency to increase.However, there are detailed regulations on the assessment and selection of personnel.The responsibilities of Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been divided into more detailed divisions, allowing them to play more roles.

Under such circumstances, the three years of Apocalypse came to a successful conclusion. Although the overall reform measures were not further implemented, they also had a relatively satisfactory start.

At the Great Court Meeting in the fourth year of Apocalypse, Emperor Apocalypse announced an imperial edict to carry out military reforms across the country. All officials were prepared for this point, and it did not cause too much turmoil.However, the six northern provinces were the first to be reformed, and Ding Guogong, the Minister of Military Aircraft, was in full charge, and Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the First Assistant University of Military Aircraft, took the overall direction.

All of a sudden, the government and the public began to be busy, and the huge state machine of the Ming Dynasty began to run at full speed.The entire court was busy, measuring the land, clearing out and selecting generals, all in full swing.After a year of construction, the two shipyards in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula and Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula are on the right track.With an unprecedented development trend, the navy of the Ming Dynasty began large-scale expansion and training.

Emperor Apocalypse believed that within two years, the Ming Dynasty would have a large-scale navy. Coupled with the restructuring of the army, the military power of the Ming Dynasty would reach an unprecedented new height.The application of various new weapons and the research and development of new tactics are also in full swing.Although it will take more time to digest these things, the head has already started.The rest is just a matter of time.

Sitting upright in the court hall, Emperor Tianqi listened to the ministers' constant playing, and dealt with the major events that happened in the court one by one.For these things, Emperor Tianqi is already familiar with it.

"Qizuo Emperor, Yangzhou Governor Qiao Yingjia wrote a letter. In December of the third year of Tianqi, on December 380th of the third year of Tianqi, it was four quarters. Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Fengyang, Sizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Chuzhou in Nanzhili The six prefectures and two prefectures all suffered earthquakes, especially Yangzhou. More than [-] city walls and more than [-] city shops collapsed in Yangzhou. The walls and walls of Yingtian shook. The roof beams and pillars all made their own sounds. The walls and stacks collapsed. Tilting, water overflowing, Jurong tiles fell to the roof and collapsed. Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, the sound was like a huge thunder, knocking down many houses, crushing many lives. The lake water in Huai'an prefecture overturned the houses and moved. The walls of Taizhou shook, and the rivers and rivers roared The walls and houses in Changshu are all shaken. Walkers are all servants. The top of the Dongcha floating map is also shaken, and the ground inside and outside the city is cracked. The top of the tower is inclined at the Chongjiao Xingguo Temple. Wujiang, Zhenze, Jiading, Jiangdu, Tongzhou, Taixing, Wusong The house, Yixing, the prefecture of Changzhou, was shaking like thunder. Huating, Shanghai, Nanhui Shouyu, Yishabao, Xi, and Jingjiang in Songjiang Prefecture. All the houses were shaking, and the Wujin bad house and lake water were flying. Yingtianfu, Shangyuan, Jiangning, * *, Wu County, Jiangyin, Danyang, Jintan, Dantu, Liyang, and Jiangxi were all shaken on the same day." After talking about some trivial matters, Liu Yijing, who was at the Shoufu University in the cabinet, stood up with a face on his face. With a sad look, he said a news that was full of uproar.

Emperor Apocalypse knew about this a long time ago.This time Yangzhou was the center of the earthquake. It can be said that most of Yangzhou City was destroyed.Although he was mentally prepared for the Little Ice Age in the last year of Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi still did not expect such a catastrophe when it came up. [

Nai rubbed his swollen forehead, Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing, and said: "Liu Aiqing, this is a natural disaster! There is an urgent need for disaster relief. Yangzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, so there must be something missing. No Do you know if the cabinet has come up with a disaster relief strategy?"

"My Majesty, after the memorial arrived at the cabinet, I have already discussed it with several academicians. This matter must be taken seriously. The cabinet has discussed several opinions. The first court should send important officials in the court to preside over the disaster relief. In order to stabilize the hearts of the local people. Second, the imperial court should severely crack down on unscrupulous businessmen who make money from disasters, and punish all those who hoard and live in contempt. The third is to raise disaster relief food in various provinces. It is necessary to raise a large amount of food in a short period of time." Liu Yijing saluted respectfully, and took out his own method.

He nodded slowly. The cabinet generally dealt with such matters. Now that the court is not so poor, there shouldn't be a big problem in relief.However, Emperor Tianqi was worried about another thing, that is, the court would run out of money again.

Whether it is the reform of the military system, the construction of the Guozijian and the Guowujian, the expansion of the firearms factory, and the addition of new shipyards, these are all large projects that cost a lot.The cost of disaster relief this time must be quite a lot, and it seems that I have to find a way to make money again.

"Liu Aiqing, the cabinet will come up with a charter as soon as possible, and the matter of raising money and food will start immediately. The disaster relief minister sent this time will be handed over to Guan Aiqing of the Ministry of Households! In addition, I will send Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to assist. Leave those illegal traders to them!" Emperor Tianqi did not ask the ministers for their opinions, but made his own decision.

The ministers didn't object either. Disaster relief is a thankless task. It's better to go by yourself, and maybe there will be some gray income.Now Emperor Tianqi has sent people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. If he dares to collect things, Emperor Tianqi will know the next day.

Many people looked at Ying Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with sympathetic eyes. Obviously, this job is not easy to handle, and if there are few mistakes, it is a serious crime.In the disaster-stricken area, there are many disaster victims. If there are "disaster" people who take the opportunity to make trouble, it will be bad for disaster relief and they will definitely be punished.

But many people were disappointed. Not only did Guan Yingzhen not show the slightest dissatisfaction, but he strode out with joy on his face, and said excitedly: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will do my best , will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations!"

"Aiqing act boldly with confidence, if you have any troubles, you can ask me for help at any time!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Guan Yingzhen with satisfaction, and said with a smile.

Regarding Guan Yingzhen's reaction, Emperor Tianqi naturally knew very well in his heart. For such a long time, Emperor Tianqi still knew these ministers very well.Guan Yingzhen is not very utilitarian, he can be said to be a true Confucian child, and his heart is full of ambitions to govern the country, regulate the family and bring peace to the world.He has always followed Zhang Juzheng as an example, and he is determined to do something for the people.

However, Guan Yingzhen is different from those nerds. Whether he is an official or doing things, he has his own principles and skills. He is a practical official.It can be said that after being selected by Emperor Tianqi, all the officials in the court are now able to become ministers and officials, and they can be independent when they are pulled out.

After finishing the arrangement, Emperor Tianqi glanced at the faces of all the ministers and said, "My loves, is there anything else?"

"Qi Zou the emperor, this morning, the Ministry of War urgently reported that there was a military chaos in Hangzhou!" Xiong Wencan, the minister of the Ministry of War, once again caused an uproar in the government and the public. Unexpectedly, just after the earthquake in Yangzhou, there was a military "chaos" in Hangzhou. .

Emperor Tianqi also frowned, is it such a coincidence?Now the imperial court is paying special attention to the military. The military system reform in the seven northern provinces has just started, and there has been a mutiny in Hangzhou.After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "Let me tell you in detail!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the memorial said that there were lamps in the homes of various students in Hangzhou, and a fire started accidentally, and the house was burned down. The soldiers of the nine battalions rose in chaos, and ten buildings were built outside the gate of Qiantang. At that time, there was General Yang, who restrained The battalion soldiers should not be "disturbed". They are tied up by the soldiers and returned to the camp. They are hung on high poles. If they want to "shoot" them with bows and arrows, the two guerrillas will comfort them with kind words. As for the other circumstances, it is not clear yet. Mr. Yang is at home now. Dismissal from the post!" Xiong Wencan responded, telling the story of the matter. [

No one spoke in the court this time, even a fool could see that there was something wrong with it, and if a soldier had nothing to do to start a military chaos, that would be a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the entire family.What's more, these soldiers from the Ninth Battalion did not rob or blackmail, but went to the gate of Qiantang and burned ten watchtowers. This is obviously a problem with IQ.For such a big matter, what came out in the end was just a boss, it was just a joke.

Emperor Tianqi glanced at everyone's faces, and said with a smile: "This memorial is very interesting, I wonder which Ai Qing submitted this memorial?"

Many people could hear the unkindness in Emperor Tianqi's tone. This person who presented the memorial was going to die. This was everyone's first reaction.Many people couldn't help cursing, is this person an idiot?Now that the imperial court is reforming the military system, this kind of mutiny is obviously adding fuel to the fire. Who dares to hide it?What's more, Emperor Tianqi's emphasis on the army has reached a jaw-dropping level.Many people are constantly saying in their hearts, I don't know this idiot, I don't know this idiot!

"Back to the emperor, it is Li Dao, the governor of Zhejiang, who will submit this memorial!" Xiong Wencan said a name with an expression on his face. Many people were relieved, and some people's faces became very ugly. Wu Liangsi, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment.

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi took the memorial handed over by Wang Chengen, with a playful smile on his face, and said: "This matter should be under the control of the Military Aircraft Department. I wonder what Wei Guogong thinks?"

Wei Guogong Shi Zhen Nanjing, in charge of the Nanjing garrison camp, can be said to be the No. 1 army in the south.But at this time, the Duke's complexion was very exciting, red and white at times, and he kept cursing in his heart.However, when Emperor Tianqi asked, Wei Guogong didn't dare not say anything, so he had to think about it while walking.
