Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 185 I must force me to cut Yuan Chonghuan into pieces
Xu Fu returned to the Forbidden City again, looked at the shining treasure roof in the sun, and touched her unprotruded belly, she couldn't help but smiled wryly.

Xu Fu himself didn't know that he was pregnant with the dragon species until he received Zhu Youxiao's order to be concubine Hui.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise for her. She never thought that one day she would become the emperor's woman and conceive the emperor's child.

She really wanted to see Zhu Youxiao's expression when he knew she was pregnant with his first child, was he happy or indifferent?
She even imagined the scene when Zhu Youxiao came to pick her back to the palace in person and called her concubine, but it was the Empress Empress, that elegant and beautiful woman who came.

Xu Fu looked at the white marble steps behind him, and the palace gate leading directly from the imperial road to the front, and imagined the scene when Zhu Youxiao walked out of the capital from there.

"Your Majesty, I'm pregnant with your child, do you know it or not?"

Xu Fu murmured a word and entered the palace that Queen Zhang Yan had arranged for her.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao, who had already arrived in Tongzhou City, didn't think too much about it except for a sneeze.

As soon as he arrived in Tongzhou City, Zhu Youxiao went directly to the Universiade Xicang, Nancang, and Zhongcang in Tongzhou to inspect.

The Jingtong Second Warehouse is an important source of national strategic reserves, and the abundance of its reserves is a symbol of the strength of the Ming Dynasty.

However, to Zhu Youxiao's disappointment, like the fifteen warehouses in Beijing, the three warehouses in Tongzhou are not well-equipped.

Moreover, according to Guo Yunhou, the Secretary of the Household Department who came here and was in charge of the governor’s storehouse, he reported back that after the Royal Industrial Company now regularly returns a batch of grain from the Nanyang area every month, the storage volume has tripled compared to the seven years of the apocalypse. .

As long as there is no large-scale turmoil or famine in Daming now, it can last for decades.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly after hearing this, because now it is impossible to expect a smooth weather for decades to come.

After inspecting the warehouse, Zhu Youxiao left Tongzhou City directly and rushed to Tianjin.

Although Tianjin at this time was not as prosperous as later generations, Daming at this time can be regarded as a pearl on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and it is the first thoroughfare after leaving Tongzhou City.

Of course, more importantly, the newly established Daming Shipping Bureau was also built here.

Since Mao Yuanyi realized the manufacture of steam-powered engines, Daming's technological development has clearly entered the fast lane.

Now the Royal Academy of Engineering is trying to apply the principle of steam power to other equipment, such as trying to make the carriage really become a car.

The first to propose this attempt was Song Yingxing, the judge of the Royal Academy of Engineering. He decided to use steam power and organize the largest team to develop the monster that Zhu Youxiao left in the exhibition room of the Royal Academy of Engineering.

At the same time, Mao Yuanyi, who had handed over the Royal Weaving Bureau to his brother Mao Yuansheng, asked himself to develop a ship that could use steam engines.

Living in the south of the Yangtze River, he is no stranger to ships, especially after seeing those unimaginable pictures of ships from Zhu Youxiao's materials, his desire became even stronger.

Zhu Youxiao did not stop his idea, and immediately ordered him to be the admiral of the Daming Shipping Administration with the title of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and set about building a larger shipyard on the basis of the original shipyard, and named it the Daming Shipping Administration Bureau.

Daming Shipping Bureau is a project ordered by Zhu Youxiao to let Bi Maokang, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, preside over the construction in April this year.

The address was chosen in Tianjin, and Zhu Youxiao also ordered Dongchang to assist Mao Yuanyi to find the old craftsmen who were in Longjiang Shipyard, Wuhumen Shipyard, and Dongguan Shipyard, and called them to Tianjin to reopen the ship of Daming. manufacture.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived here, although the Daming Shipping Bureau had not officially put into production, the small steamship developed by Mao Yuanyi had not yet appeared.

However, the entire dock has begun to take shape. Passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth, the skills of the old boatmen who accompanied Zheng He on his voyages to the West have not been completely lost.

Some lost ship models have been reproduced again. Although this has only a certain historical significance, it also makes people relive the feats of Ming Dynasty at sea.

After Zhu Youxiao left Tianjin, he changed to a waterway to Shandong, and the imperial boat he took was made by the Daming Shipping Bureau, which was also the first task of the Daming Shipping Bureau.

The imperial boat was improved from the treasure ship that Zheng He sailed to the West. Standing on the deck is as stable as on land, and cavalry can also gallop on it. However, such a big ship can travel even in inland rivers, which is even more amazing. .

Just when Zhu Youxiao was leaning against the window of the ship and looking at the vast blue waves and the green poplar flowers on both sides of the river, Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jin Yiwei, came suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Liaodong has just sent back news that the Tartars have launched an attack on the Dalinghe Fort occupied by Wu Xiang's tribe, and have now occupied Youtun;

In addition, Wu Sangui detained Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa outside the city of Jinzhou. The three talked for a long time. Wu Sangui seemed to intend to join him, but at the same time, he begged Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa to convey their intention of peace to the Tartars. , Liu Zongzhou agreed, but after seeing Huang Taiji, he said that Wu Sangui intended to join Ming Dynasty and dared to be a vanguard to wipe out the Tartars. Dalinghe then continued to attack Jinzhou, and now the Abatai tribe has detoured the Horqin tribe of Mongolia, preparing to attack Jinzhou from the flank. "

After Xu Xianchun reported the situation in Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao didn't ponder for a while before he smiled and said, "This Liu Zongzhou is not bad at all. He can handle the foreign enemy well, which is very good."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao ordered again: "Pass an order to Wang Zaijin to strengthen the defense of Shanhaiguan. No matter whether it is the Wu tribe or the Tartars, they are not allowed to open the city gates, and strictly guard against it! This matter has nothing to do with us, don't go blindly to cooperate Convey my meaning to Liu Zongzhou and Shi Kefa, so that these two people should fully express in front of the Tatars that I, Ming, will not participate in it. In addition, let Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong send more people to pretend to be the Guanning Army and kill more people. A few Tartars will further intensify their conflicts."

"Speaking of Yuan Chonghuan, I still have something to say, and I just got the news that the traitor Fan Wencheng who took refuge in the Tartars recently met Yuan Chonghuan in secret, and the two of them talked for a long time in the secret room. We, Jin Yiwei, got it after all kinds of inquiries. According to some news, what the two talked about seems to be related to Mao Wenlong."

When Xu Xianchun was talking, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing: "It's no wonder that Yuan Chonghuan has always been impeaching Mao Wenlong recently. It doesn't mean that he robbed the people's wealth, but that he secretly colluded with the Tartars."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao directly threw the teacup in his hand on the deck: "What is he going to do? Last time he killed a North Korean general, he almost turned him against him. Now he is going to kill Mao Wenlong again. Is it possible that we have to let me Are you going to kill him too?"

"Your Majesty calm down, Yuan Chonghuan is certainly annoying, but it is not worthy of your majesty's anger."

Xu Xianchun advised.

Zhu Youxiao also calmed down a lot, and hurriedly called Li Mingrui in: "Drafting the decree, Yuan Chonghuan secretly communicated with the Tartars. The crime will not be forgiven. Immediately, he will be dismissed from all positions and arrested and sent to Beijing!"

Zhu Youxiao turned to Xu Xianchun and said, "The arrest was carried out in secret. Those who followed Yuan Chonghuan at that time were all from our Jinyiwei. Now that Yuan Chonghuan is arrested, there is no need to worry about the people under him making trouble. But just in case, we still send a If someone from Jinyiwei takes his place, let that Shen Lian who has been in charge of Liaodong affairs go."
