Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 287 Transferring back to Zheng Sen
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian also noticed the disdain for Gu Sanmazi in the Zheng brothers' eyes.

And Gu Sanmazi didn't seem to have a good opinion of the Zheng brothers either. Zhu Youjian deliberately walked ahead, but he didn't realize that the Zheng brothers and Gu Sanmazi had said a word along the way.

This made Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smile secretly, they were both pirates, so why look down on each other.

Of course, the emperor would like to see Gu Sanmazi and the Zheng family at odds. This is also an opportunity for him, the emperor, to control the navy in the future. If the main generals of the navy get along with the Zheng family in the future, that is Zhu You. I don't want to see it.

However, Zhu Youjian will not let the rift between them escalate to the point where they are incompatible with each other, which will also affect the combat power of the navy. Civil and military officials in the Army of the Guards get along equally well.

The training of naval officers is inseparable from one person, and this person is Zheng Sen, who is often referred to as Zheng Chenggong in later generations.

Now Zheng Sen is a grass-roots commander of an artillery battalion of the First Corps of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty Guards, and has participated in the two battles of the extermination of Zuo Liangyu and the decisive battle of Yangzhou.

In accordance with the reward and punishment system for officers and soldiers of the Guards Army drawn up by the General Political Department of the Grand Marshal's Mansion, in recognition of Zheng Sen's achievements in participating in the two actual battles, Zheng Sen has been promoted to a fifth-rank military strategy general.

Now, Zhu Youjian plans to transfer him to the Daming Shipping Bureau as the deputy director of the student training department and concurrently as the guard of the Daming Shipping Bureau's security department, and let the two brothers Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui personally take the order to Zaozhuang to pick up their nephew.

Zhu Youjian asked Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui to pick Zheng Sen back to Nanjing in person, not only to create an opportunity for the Zheng family to reunite with his uncles and nephews, but also to transfer Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Hongkui away for a while.

As soon as Zheng Sen returns to Beijing, it means that the Ming Dynasty Navy officer training will officially be put on the agenda.

Before that, Zhu Youjian had confessed to Liu Kongzhao and Gu Sanmazi who were not from Zheng's system.

The grandeur and luxury of the building of the Daming Ship Administration Bureau made both Liu Kongzhao and Gu Sanmazi feel that His Majesty would place high hopes on them. Now that His Majesty has called them into the palace, the two feel even more honored and their hearts are surging.

Zhu Youjian met Liu Kongzhao first, while Gu Sanmazi waited outside the hall.

Although the sun was already scorching outside the temple at this time, Gu Sanmazi didn't feel any discomfort at all. With his dark skin, he had been exposed to the wind and sun on the water all year round, and he could completely withstand the heat in the Forbidden City. He never thought that he would one day be able to Standing outside the palace where the emperor lived.

Looking at Gong'e in a fluttering skirt in the distance, he felt itchy even more, wondering if he should have a few wives and concubines, after all, he was an official of the Ming Dynasty anyway.

Gu Sanmazi touched the black gauze hat on his head, looked at the lion patch official uniform and thick white-soled black boots on his chest, and couldn't help but chuckled:

"This is not a dream. I am indeed an official, and I am still a high-ranking official who can meet and talk to His Majesty. The ancestors of my Gu family don't know how many lifetimes of burning incense. I must have saved a suicide by jumping into a river before." Because of the widow, I have to marry him back tomorrow. It must be the blessing that this woman brought me. Otherwise, why did I just save him on the front foot, and there is someone from Lord Liu holding the court's decree on the back foot? Come to comfort me."

Outside the house, Gu Sanmazi is now an official, marrying a wife and taking concubines, while inside the house, Liu Kongzhao looks at Zhu Youjian with sweat on his head.

In the eyes of the peasants and small traders at the bottom, as well as the officers and soldiers of the guards, Zhu Youjian is now a good emperor who helps the people with tax-free, tax-reduced and low-interest loans and cares about the officers and soldiers.

But in the eyes of bureaucrats like Liu Kongzhao, he was an iron-blooded king who had just killed dozens of court officials, so Liu Kongzhao couldn't help being nervous when Zhu Youjian looked at him coldly.

"I heard that you took the little granddaughter of Li Qiao, the former minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, as your aunt. Is there such a thing?"

Zhu Youjian was sitting on the couch, which was only half covered with new and not old bamboo mats. On the bamboo mat was a bamboo mat with half a bowl of sour plum soup on it. The juice was handed to Liu Kongzhao, and Liu Kongzhao drank it.

Liu Kongzhao quickly thanked her, and then replied tremblingly: "You can't hide anything from your majesty. It really happened. The main reason is that she plays the flute very well, and the humble minister is greedy for sex, so now it is difficult to have sex in the house. She is the only one who can mention it. If I have the slightest interest, Your Majesty can call her into the palace if you want to experience it."

"Keep it for your own use. Be careful not to lose your body. Although Li Qiao committed a crime, I don't mean to implicate his family. It's okay if you marry his little granddaughter, but in the future, this navy matter will be a matter of great concern." I can do it well."

Zhu Youjian stood up after speaking: "I know you are not a person with outstanding talents, but nowadays there are very few talents in the world, and there are very few talents who understand naval warfare. Now, I have also served as the admiral of the Caojiang Navy. I don't expect you to become a famous naval commander, but you must be able to coordinate the contradictions within the entire navy;

Now you can also see that the future navy of Ming Dynasty is mainly composed of two factions, the Zheng family and the non-Zheng family. I want you to be a neutral person and a peacemaker. Don't let people who are not from the Zheng family quarrel with those from the Zheng family, and hurt the peace of the navy. From now on, my army will be handed over to Zhou Yuji, and the navy will be handed over to you. Zhu, I don't want his surname to be Zheng, let alone Liu, understand? "

"I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty. Although I don't know much about naval warfare, I still have the ability to understand people and tolerate people. I will definitely manage the naval affairs for Your Majesty and coordinate the forces of all factions!" Liu Kongzhao said After the promise, Zhu Youjian nodded reassuringly and asked him to withdraw from the next issue.

Then, Zhu Youjian let Gu Sanmazi walk in.

As soon as Gu Sanmazi came in and swayed left and right, he couldn't see where Zhu Youjian was, and was at a loss for a while, but at this time Zhu Youjian's voice came from a certain direction: "Don't look around, I am right in front of you."

Gu Sanmazi took a closer look, only to find that His Majesty was wearing a black gown and sitting in a dark place with a curtain behind him, so it was difficult for him to find His Majesty for a while.

"Your Majesty, you are right in front of me. My mortal body has not been able to see it for a long time. Or if everyone says you are the Son of Heaven, then you are the son of the Emperor of Heaven. You are an immortal. Ziwei Xing came down to earth and wants me to see you." Let the little one see it, and if you don't want the little one to see it, then don't let the little one see it." Gu Sanmazi started to say something, and the rhythm of his mouth couldn't stop, which made Chen Yuanyuan and other female officials behind the screen couldn't help but Puba smiled.

"Enough!"

Zhu Youjian interrupted Gu Sanmazi's words. He found that Gu Sanmazi had the potential to be a courtier, and he kept flattering himself inside and out, but Zhu Youjian couldn't help but put on a straight face and taught him a lesson : "Next time, remember to address Weichen, don't be too small, you are now an official of the imperial court, didn't Bo Chengyi teach you this?"
