Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 207 Suining Kuangzhao, Shunjun entered Sichuan

Seeing that Lu Daqi, Li Feng and others were very anxious, Auntie Zhu couldn't help laughing.

As a monarch, it is of course impossible for her to "puff a smile" at this time, she just smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, I have a life jacket on, even if something happens, I can guarantee my safety."

After speaking, Fei Zhen'e and a group of female soldiers from the Suzaku Battalion began to inflate and put on the life jackets.

These life jackets are prepared by Aunt Zhu for going south next year, and only a hundred pieces have been shipped so far.

Before she came out this time, she wanted to get on the ship to experience it herself, so she asked Suzaku Ying to bring fifty pieces.

Lu Daqi saw Zhu Yuxi and others put on life jackets, and couldn't help admiring: "It's really a second to make clothes with the method of leather rafts. With this life jacket, there is really no need to worry about the safety of the prison."

In fact, even without a life jacket, Auntie Zhu is not afraid.

Even if something happens to the ship, it is impossible for her to sink in an instant. She can easily go to Hao Guangming's side.

Afterwards, Auntie Zhu sailed on Mingyuan Lake for half an hour on a steam ship.

In addition to feeling that the speed of the ship is very fast, it is noisy, and the coal burning in the boiler is quite dirty, so the overall experience is by no means wonderful.

But no matter Aimee Zhu, Fei Zhen'e and that group of female soldiers from the Suzaku Battalion were all very happy.

Because this small but not small steamship can be operated by only a few people, and the speed is still very fast.

Of course, this is also because the ship does not have sails installed, otherwise more crew members should be needed.

After getting off the ship, Zhu Yuxi said to Li Feng, Hua Mude, Ge Cungen (the craftsman who wanted to use the steam engine to spread the rain) and Huang Min (the director of the shipyard): "Since you have successfully built a steam wooden ship, Naturally, each has its own reward.

Li Feng was promoted to the eighth grade, and he is still the ambassador of the Secret Construction Bureau.

Hua Mude was promoted to the deputy ambassador of the Secret Engineering Bureau (from the ninth rank).

Ge Cungen was appraised by Ben Gong as a master craftsman.

Mingyuan Shipyard changed its name to Ship Trial Building Bureau, and the director of the factory, Huang Min, was promoted to the ambassador of the Bureau.

In addition, you and the artisans and shipwrights below will also have some silver rewards, and the specific rewards will come down tomorrow. "

The ambassador of the Bureau of Confidential Construction was originally a ninth-rank official. Before the trial production of the steam engine was successful, Zhu Wei promoted Li Feng to one level, and now he is promoted to an eighth-rank official.

As for Ge Cungen, although he is not as good as Hua Mude in terms of scientific research, his craftsmanship in iron, wood and other aspects is really good, and he has played a very important role in the manufacture of steam engines and ships.

Although Li Feng and the others had expected the promotion and award, they could not help being excited when seeing Zhu Yu conferring the award in person, they knelt together and said, "Thank you Jian Guo for the award!"

Auntie Zhu nodded, motioning for everyone to calm down, and said with a smile: "Xinjin Shipyard has already produced several iron-clad ships, and you will dock with them as soon as possible in the future, and strive to manufacture steam iron-clad warships as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

···
On the way back to Chengdu City, Lu Daqi also rode on horseback, one body behind Aimee Zhu.

Seeing that they were approaching the city gate, the team slowed down their horses, so Lu Daqi bowed his hand to Auntie Zhu and said, "Jianguo, I want to recommend someone to serve as Jianguo."

"Oh?" Auntie Zhu became interested when she heard it, "Who is it?"

So far, Aimee Zhu has been in a state of lack of officials—of course, the main reason is the lack of talented and capable officials.

Therefore, she is happy to see the talents recommended by the officials below.

As for whether the courtiers will form cliques because of this, and even in the future, like the Beijing and Nanjing courts, party struggles will harm the country, she is not worried.

She and Hao Guangming had discussed party disputes a long time ago, and felt that the reason why the Chongzhen Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty disrupted the government due to party disputes was because the emperor did not have absolute power.

This right mainly refers to military power, financial power, and the right to speak.

But now these three powers, the three Aimee Zhu are all firmly in control.

In terms of the army, whether it is the former official army or the bandit soldiers who surrendered, they have all been reorganized, and the army structure has also been adjusted, with her order as the highest order.

Not to mention financial power, the current Chengdu court dominated by her is actually using the batch of money and food obtained from the Shu Palace.

At the beginning, it was said that it was divided into two, but in fact, it was all in her hands.

As for the money and food collected from various places in Sichuan this autumn, it is actually not much.

One is that due to various problems in the Ming Dynasty, there was not much money and food that could be collected. The other is that many state capitals suffered military disasters before, and the people were unable to carry out normal production. Now they still need relief from the Chengdu court.

Therefore, the Chief Secretary of Sichuan also needs to rely on the money and food supported by the Jian Guofu.

As for how to obtain a stable and reliable source of money and food in the future, after communicating with Hao Guangming, Aimee Zhu also has a plan, but it is not suitable for implementation at present.

The last right to speak - "Being blessed by nature, having great supernatural powers, and communicating with future generations" gave her the greatest right to speak, which no one can shake.

Therefore, her main task at present is to restore the homeland of Ming Dynasty, put down the rogue bandits, drive the Eastern Captives out of the customs, and restore the unity and peace of Ming Dynasty...

Lu Daqi's recommendation to Aimee Zhu was actually very disturbed, worried that he would be mistaken for forming a clique.

But now he really wanted to contribute to the Chengdu court, and wanted to gain more trust from Aimee Zhu, so after weighing all the way, he decided to recommend that person.

Hearing Auntie Zhu's question with great interest, Lu Daqi heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "This man is from my hometown, Kuang Zhao from Suining, Tongchuan, named Boyu.

He was a Juren in the 46th year of Wanli. He had successively served as Tianchang Jiaoyu, doctor of Guozijian Xuelu, head of the household department, and supervisor of grain Yulin.

Later, he was dismissed due to some incidents, and was reinstated as Ganzhou Bingbeidao, then changed to Chuzhou Bingbeidao, and later promoted to governor of Jiangxi.

He failed to take up the post due to illness, and now he is recuperating in Suining.But according to my last conversation with him, he is already in good health, and he is going to Jiangxi to take up his post after the new year.

Although Kuang Zhao was born in Juren, he is quite capable in both politics and the army, and his ministers can persuade him to serve as the supervisor of the country. "

On the other side, Hao Guangming also found Kuang Zhao's historical materials.

He said: "The person recommended by Lu Daqi is indeed capable of military and political affairs, and the most important thing is integrity.

Historically, after the Qing soldiers broke through Nanjing, they continued to move south and entered Jiangxi. He first retreated to train troops in Wan'an County, Jiangxi.

Later, Wan'an was besieged by Qing soldiers, and Kuang Zhao held on for many days. Finally, because he was alone and helpless, the city was broken and captured, and he died unyielding. "

Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming have learned about so many people's historical materials, and they all feel that the most important thing to show the integrity of the Ming courtiers in the late Ming Dynasty is their performance in the face of the Qing soldiers who went south, especially after the Qing soldiers broke through the city of Nanjing.

Because at that time, the Qing soldiers had already shown the tendency to swallow China with tigers, and many places were waiting for the wind to surrender.

However, the small imperial courts in Nanming looked like they couldn't support them. The courtiers who could persist in being loyal to the Ming Dynasty at this time were the ones who were truly upright and worthy of admiration.

When searching for historical materials, Hao Guangming once saw an ignorant statement—that these courtiers of the Ming Dynasty who refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty were all for their own interests. He was both angry and ridiculous.

The reason why the Qing army was able to make all the places look down was not only because of its military power, but also because Dorgon chose to cooperate with the gentry class of Ming Dynasty at that time and promised to guarantee the interests of the gentry, so he was supported.

If the Qing army stood against the gentry like Li Zicheng's Dashun, it would definitely fall into the quagmire of resistance from various local rebels after entering Shenzhou.It is impossible to make these gentry groups surrender to their use and become the vanguard of their stealing of China.

Therefore, those Ming officials who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty and refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty were not only not safeguarding their personal interests, but on the contrary, they abandoned their personal interests and stood on the opposite side of the class they belonged to for the sake of national righteousness and the belief of being loyal to the emperor and serving the country !
They are truly admirable people!

Those who slander these national heroes are either brainless idiots or people with ulterior motives, disgusting...

Knowing from Hao Guangming another courtier who was loyal to Daming throughout history, Auntie Zhu couldn't help sighing.

Then he said to Lu Daqi: "If Kuang Zhao is willing to serve my palace, let him come to Chengdu to have an audience.

If he doesn't want to, don't force Mr. Dongchuan, just let him go to Jiangxi to be the governor next year.

Anyway, I will go to the south of the Yangtze River next year, and he will serve as the governor of Jiangxi at that time. "

Hearing these words, Lu Daqi couldn't help admiring from the bottom of his heart: "Jian Guo is magnanimous."

There are actually more sighs in his heart.

I even couldn't help comparing Aimee Zhu with Aimee Chongzhen, and felt that Aimee Zhu was not as good as Amine Zhu in comparison.

It is easy for Chongzhen to trust his courtiers, but he is even more ruthless when he is suspicious. He is also narrow-minded and small-minded.
Although Aimee Zhu is the daughter of Chongzhen, she has a broad mind.

For example, even he can't help but be impressed by the magnanimity shown in the matter of recruiting Kuang Zhao.

He had a premonition that in the hands of this woman, Aimee Zhu, Daming might have a heyday that hadn't happened more than 200 years before the Ming Dynasty!

As long as he assists Aimee Zhu wholeheartedly, his name will surely remain in history, and he might even become a famous minister through the ages.

···
The next day.

Just after Zhu Wei summoned the military and government officials and announced the official appointment of Lu Daqi as the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, she received the battle report from Baoning Mansion.

The Dashun Army is finally going to attack Sichuan.

To be precise, at the end of November, the Dashun Army had already begun to attack the various passes on the Sichuan-Shanxi border and the passages into Sichuan.

"According to the battle report sent back by Chen Junchong and Li Ren, He Zhen is leading the army to attack Qipanguan.

There are also traces of the Dashun Army north of Baishuiguan.

In addition, Kuizhou Ma Gan and Li Dingguo also sent battle reports, saying that puppet soldiers and horses appeared in the northern part of Kuizhou. Although it has not been confirmed yet, it is very likely that Taiping County has been captured. "

In the carrier hall.

Aimee Zhu and the others couldn't help frowning after hearing Li Yan finish reading the battle reports that came from Baoning and Kuizhou today.

　I really saw a reader commenting that the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty who did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty were for their own interests. At that time, I really thought it was ridiculous and annoying.
　　The update is a few minutes late, sorry.

　　There are still two updates today. ,

　　Still haven't saved the manuscript,,,
