Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 447 Emperor Hongguang sits in Beijing (3)

In 1645 AD, the first day of October in the old calendar.

The city of Beijing is full of costumes, and the crowd is jubilant.

In the morning, the bells and drums of Zijin City sounded.Zhu Yousong was promoted to sit in the Eight Treasures Golden Hall.Wearing a pearl dragon crown on his head and an apricot-yellow dragon robe, he sits on a dragon chair with a happy face.

Two maids in the court held barrier fans for him behind him, Li Guofu, who was on duty as the eunuch, Li Guofu, who also held the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, Lu Jiude, the chief eunuch who supervised the East Factory, and the two factory guards, who wore three mountain caps. Wearing a brand new eunuch uniform, he stood beside him with a fly brush in his hand.

All civil and military officials in brand-new court uniforms, Wendong Wuxi.According to their respective ranks, they are arranged in sequence, and under the golden stick, they stand full and neatly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

Civil and military officials shouted in unison, echoing from the golden palace.The civil and military officials began to give gifts to the emperor and ministers, and finally they all bowed down neatly at his feet. Zhu Yousong let all the ministers fall flat, and the officials stood up to thank them. Hatchback, nodding slightly, stood respectfully and waited for His Majesty's hadith.

It has been a year and more than three months since time travel. Calculated by the number of days, Jintian is exactly 470 days.

This 470 day is too unusual, and it is not easy. It can be said that it has gone through ups and downs and many hardships to get to today, which is similar to returning to the country.

At that moment, Zhu Yousong's heart was ups and downs, and his thoughts were rolling. For the first time, he found the feeling of being an emperor.

Zhu Yousong announced in the Golden Palace that this year was the first year of Hongguang, and the country name was still Daming.Canonize the golden queen as the queen of the main palace, the two heroines He Xuanjiao as the concubine of the east palace, Ma Jinhua as the concubine of the west palace, and choose Chan'er as a beauty.

Then seal civil and military affairs, Zhu Yousong has been brewing for more than a month.

In order to improve the status of generals, Zhu Yousong was first named military officer.

When Liu Zhaoji was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, Liu Zhaoji did not expect that he was the first general to be appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War!

It is probably the first time in the more than 200-year history of the founding of the Ming Dynasty that a pure military general has such a high military rank.

So Liu Zhaoji hurried out and kowtowed to thank him.

The Ministry of War has too much power.Zhu Yousong reiterated that all the armies in the country, except for the three forbidden armies, were under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, including 15 soldiers from the Beijing battalion.

The three imperial guards were Jinyiwei who monitored the officials, the Imperial Forest Army who protected the imperial city and the Forbidden City, and the imperial camp under the personal control of Zhu Yousong, including the Zhongzhen Camp.

Of course, these three forbidden troops are directly responsible to Zhu Yousong.

Zhu Yousong organized the Zhongzhen Camp into the imperial camp. The expanded imperial camp has 1000 people, which is exactly equivalent to a guard of the Ming army. , Loyalty Camp, etc.

In this way, Zhu Yousong directly held more than 7 gun barrels in his hands.Now Zhu Yousong can mobilize more than 50 Ming troops.Excluding those guarding the border, 35 King Qin's troops were gathered near Beijing City. These were all gathered from various places, mainly in Nanjing, after Zhu Yousong's class returned to the court.

Liu Zhaoji not only possesses such great power, but of course he also has corresponding responsibilities, that is, to organize and train the new army. In addition to the three forbidden troops, he will complete the deployment and rotation training of hundreds of thousands of troops across the country. It will take him roughly three years.

Liu Zhaoji kowtowed to express his gratitude, but he also deeply felt the great responsibility, but His Majesty took it so seriously, he said that he would not hesitate to die.

Zhu Yousong assigned him two more capable assistants in the Ministry of War, and appointed Du Yinxi and He Tengjiao, two former ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty who knew the soldiers, as the left and right servants of the Ministry of War.

Then Zheng Hongkui was appointed as the commander of the Beijing camp, and he took full control of the 15 Beijing camp soldiers in Beijing and Nanjing.

Obviously, Liu Zhaoji's position is higher than that of Zheng Hongkui.

Zheng Hongkui was also convinced. In terms of martial arts, Liu Zhaoji was superior to Zheng Hongkui. In terms of merit, Liu Zhaoji, as the commander of the imperial camp, had never lost a battle.And Zheng Hongkui had more than one defeat record.

Only Zheng Hongkui has higher qualifications than Liu Zhaoji. Zhu Yousong just crossed over, cleaned the factory guards, and stabilized the capital. Zheng Hongkui made great contributions, and Liu Zhaoji was several months later than him. After Pan Yangzhou, Liu Zhaoji came to the fore.

Zhu Yousong hated employing people based on seniority, because before time-traveling, it was because his family’s hukou had been turned up three generations and he was a farmer. He had no money, no power, no qualifications, and he struggled in the workplace for many years. , He only watched other people's promotion and progress, and he didn't even get a vice-stock rank.

Now he finally has the final say, absolutely want to change this unfairness.Zhu Yousong knows that people are good at their duties, and he rewards people for their merits, which is fair and reasonable, just and not personal.Therefore, Zheng Hongkui and other civil and military officials were also convinced.

Then he bestowed Zheng Damu as Zheng Chenggong.

The reason why Zhu Yousong wanted to change him back to this famous name was because Zheng Damu was the name given to him by Qian Qianyi, not to mention that Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi had already become monks and became a passing cloud. They were studying at the Nanjing Imperial Academy The name at that time is no longer suitable.

Moreover, the name Zheng Chenggong is a well-known national hero, which just suits his identity.

Zheng Damu was flattered, he didn't expect the third general to hit him on the head, and the credit was much greater than his, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhu Yousong appointed him as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the [-] troops protecting the imperial city and palace city were under his command.This is one of the forbidden army, of course it is the supreme glory.

Then Zhu Yousong appointed the one-eyed general Ma Wannian as the commander of the imperial battalion, in charge of [-] white-armed soldiers of the Zhongzhen battalion, and the junior general Zhang Huan as Tongzhi, the commander of the imperial battalion, in charge of [-] iron cavalry of the imperial battalion.

Li Zhushi, the commander of the artillery battalion, was appointed as the commander of the imperial battalion, and was specifically responsible for the [-] artillery battalion.Enfeng Zhao Fu and Fang Dongxu, two Wu Jinshi from last year, were the commanders of the Musketeer Battalion and the Engineer Battalion in the Imperial Battalion.

He Zhaoxiong was the head of the country, and Zhu Yousong granted him the command of the navy, and asked him to select the elite, expand the navy battalion, and personally be responsible for training a navy of 5 people.

He Zhaoxiong knelt down and thanked him for accepting the decree.

The soldiers who were stationed outside the border were also enfeoffed.Huang Degong, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, was granted the title of Prince Shaobao, and the marquis hereditary.The little general Ma Bao was appointed as the general of Datong, and Zu Keyong was named as the general of Ningwuguan, etc., depending on the situation.

After the distribution of military commanders, civil servants began to be rewarded, and Gao Hongtu was still appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. Although the official rank has not changed, it used to be half of the country, but now it is the chief assistant of the cabinet of the entire Ming Dynasty. The power is much greater, and Gao Hongtu is also very satisfied. thank you.

Wang Duo, a scholar of Jinshendian, was appointed as the second assistant of the cabinet, and the other five ministries except the Ministry of War, from Shangshu to Shilang, were all reappointed.Lu Daqi was still the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Yuan Jixian was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Huang Duanbo was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Shi Kefa was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and so on.A group of young and promising people such as Wu Weiye and Zuo Maodi have been reused.

After all the officials were sealed off, they knelt down again and shouted long live.
