Chapter 104 Reform, move to Wanggong factory, about the big bang!

  Zhang Fengyi is the daughter-in-law of Qin Liangyu, a famous female general of the Ming Dynasty, and the grandson of Zhang Wudian, the Minister of War in the Wanli Dynasty. Her father, Zhang Quan, was originally a patrol officer in Liaodong.

   Therefore, Zhang Fengyi can be regarded as the queen of Zhongliang.

  She herself also died in the battle for Daming during the reign of Chongzhen in history.

   Now Zhang Gui recommends her because of his familiarity with history, and he knows that she and the Qin family and Zhang family behind her are loyal and reliable families.

   Of course Tian Qi knew Zhang Fengyi well, so he smiled and said: "It can be seen that you are really serious about the safety of the eldest son of the emperor."

  Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty, this matter is secretly announced that Zhang Fengyi will enter the palace."

   "I know."

   Tianqi nodded.

   In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth year of Tianqi, and Zhang Fengyi had been secretly announced to the palace to accompany the eldest son of the emperor.

Scholars such as Lu Cheng, Chen Zilong, and Xu Fuyuan who were studying in Xilin Academy were also recruited by Tianqi to serve as cabinet ministers during this period because of their careful investigation of the low-level people in the south of the Yangtze River and their insight into social improvement. Went to Beijing with Xia Yunyi, walked in the policy department, and participated in the formulation of reform regulations.

  Finally, after these people discussed day and night with Tianqi, Zhang Gui, Yuan Keli and other monarchs and ministers, the Department of Policy and Policy formulated the next specific reform regulations.

   In order to show selflessness, Yuan Keli, who presided over the reform, asked himself to pilot it in his hometown first.

  Xia Yunyi was appointed as the magistrate of Suizhou, responsible for the implementation of the newly formulated reform and new policy in Suizhou.

  Suizhou was reduced to Sanzhou in the Jiajing Dynasty, equivalent to a county.

  Apocalypse also issued a special decree that Xia Yunyi directly obeys the emperor's orders, acting as the parent official of Suizhou on behalf of the emperor, and can perform all reforms in Suizhou on behalf of the emperor.

  Henan governor and inspectors and other officials naturally have no right to instruct Xia Yunyi.

  Xia Yunyi has voted under Zhang Gui's family. Before leaving Beijing to take up his post, Zhang Gui gave him some instructions and explained to him. After receiving Zhang Gui's instructions, he officially left Beijing.

  The Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the sixth year of the Apocalypse seemed to be peaceful.

There is no storm in the court, and the border town is very quiet. Nurhachi defeated Ningyuan, and then began to send troops to Mongolia, and no longer launched a large-scale attack on Liaodong. It is obvious that after surrendering Mongolia, it is convenient to directly enter the customs and plunder Blood transfusion for his post-golden regime.

  According to the development of the original history, it had to wait until the second year of Chongzhen in history before Jiannu launched a large-scale attack on Ming Dynasty, and it caused a change of itself.

  The change of Jisi was the beginning of Jiannu’s large-scale entry into the customs and looting of Daming, causing the area around Gyeonggi to be plundered, and a large number of people and food to be taken away, which was equivalent to directly stabbing Daming’s heart.

   Before that, there will be a period of calm.

   But it’s only been more than three years.

   But to stop this incident, history does not give Zhang Gui much time.

   Of course, it is not certain whether it will still be only three years.

  Because in history, Huang Taiji was able to successfully lead 100,000 troops into the customs and plunder the capital, which may be related to the death of the emperor in the seventh year of Tianqi, the change of military strategy, and the surrender of the Mongolian tribes.

   These days, Zhang Gui has asked Bi Maokang, who was newly recommended by the Xishan Industry Department to be a member of the Industry Department, to start the development of the flintlock. At the same time, the new soldiers and horses are also stepping up their training.

The Ming court also began to set up a town in Lushun. Zhou Yuji was appointed as the general soldier of Lushun, responsible for leading the vanguard battalion to open up new battlefields in southern Liaoning. The second is to try to restrain Jiannu's strategy of detouring to the defense line behind Daming Jiliao.

In addition, Sun Chuanting was directly promoted from the fifth-rank military attache of Xichang to the governor of southern Liaoning. The strength of the navy dispatched money and grain to southern Liaoning.

  Sun Chuanting was originally a civil official and Jinshi, and it would not be a big deal to switch back to civil service, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty can't be too rigid in many cases.

   Tianqi is not the kind of emperor who follows the rules.

  Zhang Gui is also very free during this period of time. His personal marriage has already progressed to the step of acceptance, and he is officially engaged.

   Regarding the marriage, what he is looking forward to is that he can see the maid named Qingmei next to the merchant's fourth girl again.

"To be honest, there are very few maidservants in my son-in-law's house. I am afraid that it will be difficult for Ling'ai to serve you attentively after passing through the mansion. Therefore, it is better to ask Yue Weng to bring all the maidservants around Ling'ai as dowry, so as to prevent Ling'ai from being wronged and disappointing after passing through the mansion." Please don't misunderstand, the son-in-law is not a lustful person, and he said this at this time, it is really for your daughter's consideration. In short, gold and silver things don't need to be dowry too much. Everyone should come here."

  Because Zhang Gui was engaged to the merchant, he changed his address and started talking to Shang Zhouzuo as his son-in-law.

  Shang Zhouzuo also understands that the Zhang family is an upstart of foreign relatives, and it is not surprising that there are not many slaves in the mansion, but he does not doubt that there is him, as long as Zhang Gui is really considerate of his daughter, he is also very happy: "Don't worry."

   Zhang Gui went back to the mansion contentedly.

  However, as soon as Zhang Gui returned to the mansion, Zhang Gui received a report from his slaves that he heard movement from underground.

  Knowing that, Zhang Gui immediately came to the jar buried in the ground, listened carefully for a while, and then said: "Tell the master, I will go to the palace!"

"yes!"

   "What you said is true?!"

   Half a quarter of an hour later, Tian Qi walked quickly to Taikangbo Mansion and asked Zhang Gui who had explained the matter to him.

  Zhang Guidao: "Your Majesty will know when you hear it. Last time, Your Majesty accompanied your mother to the Han Mansion to meet my father. Didn't I have my minister verify it for you? Now the jar is indeed making a violent sound."

After Tianqi Xin bestowed the mansion near Xiyuan as Taikangbo Mansion, because Taikangbo Mansion and Xiyuan are separated by a small alley, Tianqi would often bring the queen to Taikangbo Mansion for a short talk. .

  Because of this, Zhang Gui told Tian Qi about the matter of burying the tank to listen to the sound, and also verified it for Tian Qi. Therefore, Tian Qi also asked Wei Zhongxian to do this secretly in the Xiyuan Palace.

   Soon, Tian Qi came to the buried tank in Taikangbo Mansion. After hearing it personally, he also felt uneasy: "Who is digging the hole underground, and what is it for?"

  Wei Zhongxian ran over quickly at this time: "My lord, this servant went to ask, and this servant asked a few people who were quietly buried in the palace to listen, and I heard the movement as expected!"

   "The East Factory must be strictly investigated!"

   Apocalypse therefore commanded.

  Wei Zhongxian said: "Observe the order!"

Then, Zhang Gui said again: "Your Majesty, it seems that you and the eldest son of the emperor have to go to other places to hide for a while as soon as possible, because no one knows what someone is doing somewhere underground, and when it will endanger you and the eldest son." A matter of life. I have just built a bastion in Xishan. The outside is solid and the scenery is beautiful. There are a lot of supplies inside, and the decoration is also good. Your Majesty and the eldest son of the emperor may as well go to Xishan for vacation immediately, just take a rest. But God Go without anyone noticing, so as not to startle the snake."

   Tianqi nodded in agreement.

  That night, Zhang Gui asked Sun Yingyuan, the new commander-in-chief of the Vanguard Battalion, to personally **** Tianqi, the empress, and the eldest son of the emperor to Xishan, and he himself took the head of state Zhang Guoji and others to Xishan.

  As soon as he settled down in the West Mountain Bastion, Zhang Gui said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, after thinking about it, I should be able to order Wang Gong's factory to move out now."

Before that, Zhang Gui had suggested to Tianqi that the Wang Gong factory that produced gunpowder should be moved out of the city, but Tian Qi didn’t think that if the gunpowder in the Wang Gong factory was in danger, it would endanger the safety of the palace. After all, the Wang Gong factory was not small. And the strategic significance is also great, relocation is a big project, but now after knowing that someone is digging a tunnel under the palace, Tianqi also starts to worry that someone will steal the gunpowder from Wang Gong Factory and bury it in the tunnel under the palace, causing the whole palace to explode. explode.

  So, Tian Qi nodded and said: "It is an order, and Wei Zhongxian and Han Yu will arrange this matter."

   Not long after, the Ministry of Industry received an imperial decree asking them to move the Wang Gong factory under the Ministry of Industry to Sanhe.

  …

   "What! Moving to Wang Gong's factory? Does the tyrant know something?!"

  The capital.

  In the courtyard of a deep house, a fat man in a bullfight suit stood up from his chair immediately after learning about this.

   "The imperial decree has already been issued, and I personally signed it in the Sixth Branch Gallery. How could it be false?"

  Engineering is all about the party movement in the matter.

Hanlin Chen Yan also said: "Now we have to inform the people in the palace to act in advance! The gunpowder that has only been buried on the outer wall of Xiyuan for the time being has to be blown up in advance! Otherwise, when the Ministry of Industry moves, it will be found that a large amount of gunpowder has been lost. , you and I can't escape the responsibility, including you, the Duke!"

  Chen spoke and looked at the man in the bullfight suit.

  The man in the bullfight suit thought for a while and gritted his teeth: "That's the only way!"

  Boom!

   A few days later, there was a loud noise outside Xiyuan City.

  When many inner court personnel in the palace were horrified by this, a dowager suddenly ordered one of his maids: "Accord with the plan! Be sure to take advantage of the chaos to let the eldest son of the emperor die!"

"do not worry!"
