Xin Yong is very happy and excited now.

Many years ago, he was implicated by his master Dai Zi and was dismissed from office and exiled. Later, he was fortunate enough to be recruited by Tang Anping to work as a craftsman in a foreign firearms factory. However, he was already very old.

He thought that this would be the end of his life, but when he was sixty years old, he was even more lucky to follow Jia Yun.

Under Jia Yun's appreciation, he not only allowed his family to live a prosperous life, but also received a knighthood.

He greatly admired Jia Yun's firearms research and development capabilities and believed that Jia Yun was truly a genius from heaven. He and Jia Yun joined forces to first develop and manufacture trip mines and explosive packs, and now they are also manufacturing bayonet flintlocks and grenades...

This kind of thing gave him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, because he loved developing and manufacturing firearms, and because these advanced firearms would enhance the military power of the Qing Dynasty...

He didn't expect that Jia Yun would become the emperor so quickly. What he could think of was that now that Jia Yun became the emperor, it should be very beneficial to him.

At this moment, Xin Yong walked into the Ming Dynasty Palace of Qianqing and specially put on the title uniform of a seventh-grade Enqi Lieutenant. The title uniform had a rhinoceros pattern on it.

Seventh-grade Enqi Lieutenant, this is the identity that Xin Yong can best take advantage of. He also has the identity of ninth-grade craftsman, which is much lower than that of seventh-grade Enqi Lieutenant.

However, this place was in the Palace of the Qianqing Dynasty, and the person Xin Yong was meeting this time was the current emperor. Under such circumstances, a small seventh-grade Enqi Lieutenant was naturally not enough to look down upon.

Just now, Jia Yun summoned a large group of princes, ministers and high-ranking officials in the palace. But now, Xin Yong, a small seventh-grade Enqi Lieutenant and ninth-grade craftsman, was summoned by Jia Yun alone.

Just because in Jia Yun's heart, Xin Yong is very important. This person is closely related to his great cause of firearms. It can even be said that this person is closely related to the future of Qing Dynasty!

"Welcoming ministers pay their respects to the emperor!" Xin Yong paid special respects to Jia Yun and paid homage.

Jia Yun said: "Pingshen."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xin Yong stood up, lowering his head and arms.

Jia Yun asked: "Have all the craftsmen, equipment, and materials brought from the Chang'an Firearms Factory entered the Nei Firearms Factory?"

Xin Yong said: "Master Tang opened the way, and it was convenient for the ministers to enter the inner firearms factory before they came."

Today, Jia Yun specially issued an order, asking Tang Daqian to lead the army to escort Xin Yong to the Nei Firearms Factory. Tang Daqian led the army to clear the way, allowing Xin Yong to easily bring the craftsmen, equipment, and materials into the Nei Firearms Factory.

Shenjing City has an internal firearms factory and an external firearms factory.

The Foreign Firearms Factory is located in Landingchang Town, the western suburbs, and is located in the military barracks of the Foreign Firearms Camp.

The Inner Firearms Factory is located in the northeast corner of the inner city, occupying a large area. The Inner Firearms Battalion is also stationed here, and the Inner Firearms Factory is managed by the Inner Firearms Battalion.

Both the Inner Firearms Factory and the Outer Firearms Factory are larger in scale and have greater firearms manufacturing capabilities than the Chang'an Firearms Factory.

The inner firearms camp belongs to the Imperial Guard, so naturally, the inner firearms factory has been controlled by Jia Yun.

This afternoon, Jia Yun has made arrangements to promote Zhu Zhigui, wing commander of the inner firearms battalion, to deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. He promised to appoint Zhu Zhigui as the official deputy commander of the Imperial Guards after the enthronement ceremony and transfer Tang Daqian to the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. The firearm camp has long wings.

The Wing Commander of the Inner Firearms Battalion is a third-grade military attache. The deputy commander of the Imperial Guard is a second-grade military attache. For Zhu Zhigui, it is a promotion. But Jia Yun’s purpose is not to promote Zhu Zhigui, but to let Tang

Daqian will take care of the internal firearms!

Jia Yun said to Xin Yong: "I now appoint you as the general manager of the firearms factory in the department."

Xin Yong: "..."

Chief manager of a firearms factory? What kind of official is this? There was no such official position in the Qing Dynasty.

Without waiting for Xin Yong to question, Jia Yun took the initiative to explain: "Do you know the official position of the chief camel manager of Taipu Temple Horse Factory?"

Xin Yong said: "Wei Chen knows."

Jia Yun asked: "What grade of official position is this?"

Xin Yong said: "A Beijing official with a military rank of the fourth rank."

The chief camel manager of the Taipu Temple Horse Factory is the person in charge of carriages and horses. However, this official position is not low. He is a fourth-grade military official in the capital.

Jia Yun said: "The position of General Manager of the Internal Firearms Factory is a new one created by me. This official position is similar to that of the Chief Supervisor of the Taipusi Horse Factory. It is a military official of the fourth rank. From now on, the Internal Firearms Factory will be under my personal jurisdiction. You

After assuming this position, even Tang Daqian, the wing commander of the Firearms Battalion within the agency, is not allowed to interfere with the firearms research and development and manufacturing of the Firearms Factory. From now on, the Firearms Battalion can only guard the Firearms Factory but has no jurisdiction over it."

Jia Yun added: "Now I will let you serve as the general manager of the department. After the enthronement ceremony is held, you will be appointed as the official general manager."

Xin Yong was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

Originally, his official position was only a ninth-grade craftsman, but now he has become a fourth-grade military attaché. How many levels has he been promoted to? It is definitely a rapid improvement!

Although he, the general manager of the internal firearms factory, is only in charge of a firearms factory, he can obtain the status and treatment of a fourth-grade military official. Moreover, although he was also in charge of the Chang'an Firearms Factory before, he, as a craftsman, is under the supervision of the Chang'an Firearms Factory.

It was under the jurisdiction of the military attache of the factory, but now it is directly under the jurisdiction of Jia Yun, the current emperor.

What does it mean to be directly under the jurisdiction of the current emperor? It means that Xin Yong, the general manager of the internal firearms factory, is a close official of the emperor, equivalent to the commander of the Jinyi Mansion.

Jia Yun said: "Manager Xin, you know that I attach great importance to firearms. I hope you will be more loyal to me in the future than before. I also hope that you can work harder in the firearms factory in the future than in the Chang'an Firearms Factory!"

"If you can do it, I will not treat you badly. In addition to official promotion and financial rewards, I plan to grant you a high-ranking five nobles in the future, even if it is a marquis or count, so that your family will become famous and rich.

It depends on whether you can win it or not."

Xin Yong was overjoyed again and thanked him again.

Official positions cannot be passed down from family to family, but titles can!

And he knew that as long as he was loyal to Jia Yun, worked hard in the firearms factory, and gained more appreciation from Jia Yun, then he should be able to find a good official position for his descendants.

Jia Yun said: "As soon as possible, integrate the craftsmen and equipment brought by Chang'an Firearms Factory into the inner firearms factory and continue to manufacture bayonet flintlock guns and grenades."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xin Yong respectfully said: "I obey the decree."

…

…

When Xin Yong left, Jia Yun asked Xin Yong to summon Tang Daqian, so that afternoon, Tang Daqian also came to Qianqing Palace to meet Jia Yun.

"The humble minister pays homage to the emperor." Tang Daqian bowed respectfully.

Jia Yun asked Tang Daqian to stand up and said: "I have appointed you as the wing commander of the firearms battalion in the department. Are you satisfied with my arrangement?"

Tang Daqian hurriedly said: "Wei Chen is the emperor's minister. No matter how the emperor arranges for Wei Chen, Wei Chen will obey the order. This time, the emperor appointed Wei Chen as the Wing Commander of the Firearms Battalion in the Department. Wei Chen is really grateful and considerate, because Wei Chen has always been As a lover of firearms, Weichen has long had an ambition, hoping to become the wing commander of the firearms battalion like my father. The emperor's arrangements this time have allowed Weichen to realize this ambition."

Jia Yun said: "I attach great importance to firearms. In the future, the inner firearms factory will be crucial to the Qing Dynasty. I will also attach great importance to the inner firearms camp in the future. I need a trusted general to serve as the wing commander of the inner firearms camp, and I also know that you hope Just like your father, you are the wing commander of the firearms battalion, so I specially arranged this position for you this time."

Tang Daqian said: "Thank you for the emperor's holy family. I will do my best to repay you, serve as the wing leader with all my heart, and strive to live up to the emperor's respect and trust."

Jia Yun said: "Believe me, if you work hard and serve the inner firearms camp, you will have a good future in the future!"

This is not a lie!

Jia Yun has already planned to separate the inner firearms battalion from the Imperial Guard and become an independent army after he holds the coronation ceremony.

Jia Yun also plans to merge the outer firearms battalion into the inner firearms battalion and merge it into the Shenjing firearms army, which will be under the personal control of the emperor. At that time, Tang Daqian, a third-grade wing commander of the inner firearms battalion, will be promoted For the commander of the first-grade Shenjing Firearms Army!

Moreover, Jia Yun plans that the advanced weapons developed and manufactured in the future, such as bayonet flintlocks and grenades, can only be used by two armies, one of which is the Shenjing Firearms Army...

This matter is so serious that it is neither convenient nor necessary for Jia Yun to tell Tang Daqian now.

Tang Daqian knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your holy family!"

Immediately, Jia Yun told Tang Daqian that the Internal Firearms Factory would be under his direct jurisdiction from now on, and that the Internal Firearms Battalion could only guard matters over which the Internal Firearms Factory had no jurisdiction...

After saying this, Jia Yun said: "Today evening, I will invite all the generals from the Chang'an Camp, including you, to have dinner at Qianqing Palace. You don't have to go back to the Inner Firearms Camp now, go see Cao Wu, and come back with Cao Wu in two-quarters of an hour." "

Cao Wu is currently guarding the inner court of the imperial palace.

…

…

In the evening, Jia Yun set up two tables of food in the courtyard of Qianqing Palace. This time the invitees were not the princes and ministers, but the generals from Chang'an camp, including deputy general Di Changping, deputy general Fang Degong, general Lu Qi, and general Cao Wu. ,Du Si Qi Zhao...

He He, who has already served as the Admiral of the Nine Sects, also came.

Tang Daqian, who has served as the wing commander of the firearms battalion within the department, also came.

Xin Yong, who was already the general manager of the department's firearms factory, also came.

These people had previously followed Jia Yun in raising troops to seize the throne, which was a big risk. If they failed, they would all suffer catastrophe. Now that Jia Yun has succeeded in seizing the throne and is firmly on the throne, it is natural that he should be especially close to these people.

What's more, these people will also be of great use to Jia Yun in the future. In the future, these people will almost always be his confidants, and the Chang'an camp will also be his emperor's personal army.

During this dinner, I still didn’t drink alcohol.

However, Cao Wu still stood up and raised his bell to Jia Yun and said: "Your Majesty, I have the courage to serve you with tea instead of wine, and congratulate your Majesty on inheriting the throne!"

With Cao Wu taking the lead, Tang Daqian also stood up and raised the tea cup: "I also have the courage to offer tea instead of wine to the emperor, and congratulate the emperor on inheriting the throne!"

He He, Di Changping, Fang Degong and others all stood up and raised their teacups...

Jia Yun stood up with a tea cup: "This time I am able to inherit the throne, all of you are indispensable. Chang'an camp is my emperor's personal army, and you are all my trusted generals. In this case, I will follow

Let’s take tea instead of wine and have a sip of tea together!”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" everyone said one after another.

Jia Yun took the first sip of tea, and everyone followed suit.

At this moment, while Tang Daqian looked at Jia Yun, he thought of the previous scene.

Last year, before her wedding, Jia Yun had dinner with Cao Wu and Tang Daqian in a restaurant. At that time, Jia Yun raised her glass and said, "This glass of wine is for the world." Tang Daqian didn't quite understand the meaning of this.

Thinking back now, Tang Daqian suddenly realized that Jia Yun had ambitions to seize the throne at that time, and now, only half a year later, Jia Yun has become the emperor.

At this moment, Cao Wu was looking at Jia Yun and thinking.
