But when I think about it again, I seem to understand.
Emperor Chongzhen already knew that he would hang himself in less than two years, killing himself, his family, his relatives, and ruining his foundation!
It is estimated that this matter is like a huge mountain, pressing on Emperor Chongzhen's chest, and he has nightmares, right?
Under such circumstances, he heard that this boring machine could not only make guns and artillery, but could also be used to make another epoch-making machine, the kind that could change the Ming Dynasty. It would be strange if he fell asleep without asking!
Thinking this way, Liu Weichao also understood, and smiled and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Don't worry, I won't sleep until you understand. Just ask!"
"Thank you so much, my good friend!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly, "Then I will go read the information first!"
Liu Weichao found it funny. He has changed from a friend to a good friend?
In this world, I am probably the only one who is called a "good friend" by an emperor!
With this in mind, he nodded and said, "Go and see, I'm sure I'll be waiting!"
After receiving this reply, Emperor Chongzhen felt relieved to cut off the video communication and hurriedly read the information sent by Liu Weichao.
Things that don't involve chemical reactions are actually relatively easy to understand.
Not to mention, after many previous communications, Emperor Chongzhen was already somewhat familiar with physics and the like, and was not completely ignorant.
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were actually boring machines, but they were very primitive and artificial.
Of course, as an emperor, Emperor Chongzhen had never had any contact with it, so he naturally didn't know.
While he was reading the information, he had already recorded a list of questions, and then contacted Liu Weichao again to answer the questions one by one.
In this way, they worked until late at night, and then the two of them said good night to each other.
However, Emperor Chongzhen was still very excited and could not fall asleep.
With fine steel and this boring machine, at least in terms of ordnance, we can create the most sophisticated weapons of this era.
And because it is a firearm, military training does not take too long.
These are really crucial to him!
With a strong army, we can annihilate the bandits, recover Liaodong, and suppress all dissatisfaction.
Then there are so many good things in Liu Weichao's world, and they can all be realized in Ming Dynasty.
How could Emperor Chongzhen sleep while imagining this wonderful future?
Like him, he also went to bed late at night, but among those who didn't sleep well was Yan Yingyuan, who had just arrived in the capital.
When he was newly appointed as the commander of the Zhongcheng Army and Horse Command Department, the first day was spent casually handing over to the generals of the Yongwei Battalion. The second day was the day when he actually took over the Army and Horse Command Department.
How to do it, how to fulfill this position of the sixth grade, is the problem that he urgently needs to solve.
The first impression after taking office is a very important thing. It would be strange if Yan Yingyuan can sleep peacefully!
Of course, he wasn't worried or afraid.
He believed that he could do it well. The reason why he did not go to bed early was to learn about what happened in the capital, what happened in the past of the Military Command Department, etc. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!
At dawn the next day, the chief officer of the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department arrived, and all the government officials were due.
Yan Yingyuan's appearance gave these officials a sense of oppression.
There is no way, Yan Yingyuan's appearance is indeed very impressive, and he has the impression of Guan Yunchang!
Yan Yingyuan, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the two rows of subordinates below who had finished their greetings, and said in a loud voice: "I am from Tongzhou, so after all, I can be considered a local! You are all from the countryside, what can I do?
You can tell me clearly without any taboos!"
Upon hearing this, the officials below all agreed, and two of them were even from Tongzhou. The atmosphere in the hall was not as serious as expected for a new official taking office.
Yan Yingyuan looked at them, and after letting them talk for a while, he still said as if he were talking to friends: "I was formerly the Dianshi of Jiangyin, but I didn't expect that your Majesty would spend eight hundred miles to rush the summons. So, I became your official
The command. It’s a bit too hasty to take up the post. If there is anything that you think is inappropriate, I hope you can remind me in time!”
There had been rumors before that the new conductor was just a bad example.
But many people don't believe that a low-level Dianshi can directly become their commander, sixth grade!
But at this moment, Yan Yingyuan said it himself, which immediately surprised the people in the lobby.
While they were envious, they were also very surprised.
Naturally, there was a question in their minds: Why did a mere Dianshi ask the current emperor to rush eight hundred miles to summon him and let him be the commander?
Is it possible that this former conductor and current conductor has a scary background?
He is from Tongzhou, so he might have some extraordinary means. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to have the current emperor spend 800 miles to rush to summon him, and then be promoted beyond his level?
This new Shangguan must be a man of ability and background!
After reaching this conclusion, all of them began to respect Yan Yingyuan invisibly. This kind of respect was not just the respect for Shangguan!
Yan Yingyuan saw their reactions in his eyes, and what he wanted was this kind of effect.
He had been thinking about this opening statement for a long time last night.
Now it seems that the effect is good, so he continued: "I already know what happened in the capital before. I don't care about other yamen, but I will keep an eye on our Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department.
.If there is really a problem, I believe that our Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department does not need the Metropolitan Procuratorate and factory guards. I will deal with it seriously and will never let it go unchecked! In this way, you will live up to His Majesty's kindness! You all
…Did you hear that clearly?”
In the past, corruption among officials was rampant, and it was natural for people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to take advantage of their power. It was also the same reason why Yongweiying suddenly took over the already-dead Five Cities Military and Horse Division.
At this time, Yan Yingyuan pointed out his attitude, which was actually what a new official should mean. However, he said these words in a stern tone, and combined with his long-lasting appearance, it gave people a very strong sense of oppression.
, far beyond the comparison of ordinary officials.
The officials below, whether they were willing or not, all agreed in unison and did not dare to violate it.
After staring at them for a while, Yan Yingyuan suddenly changed his tone to a gentle tone and said to them: "Everyone should look up. I can tell you that I will not be satisfied with this command position. Do it."
Well, Your Majesty has promoted me to an official position. Before I leave, it is necessary for me to recommend suitable people to Your Majesty. I can tell you this in advance and I am not afraid of breaking my promise!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the officials below couldn't help but light up.
This new chief officer has a big background. He must be just here to make a transition. If you can get into his eyes, maybe you can get him into his lap, and it is possible for him to become a successful person in the future!
Thinking like this, my morale suddenly improved.
Each of these officials quickly agreed with Yan Yingyuan and flattered Yan Yingyuan.
Of course they didn't know. In fact, Yan Yingyuan himself didn't know why the emperor appreciated him and who recommended him?
Under Yan Yingyuan's "fake power", the officials below him had the illusion that he had a very powerful background, so they naturally obeyed him a lot.
Afterwards, Yan Yingyuan reiterated the responsibilities of the Military and Horse Command Department and inspected his subordinate soldiers.
Different from his behavior in the lobby, in the lobby, he behaved like a superior; however, when he went downstairs, when inspecting the subordinate soldiers, he behaved like a brother, greeting and asking questions, and there was no sign of being a superior officer at all.
Became familiar with ordinary soldiers.
During this process, Yan Yingyuan used his authority to solve many practical problems for his subordinates. In just half a day, the atmosphere at the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department took on a completely new look.
Of course, if you ask me whether there are people who are still dissatisfied with Yan Yingyuan, there must be some.
No, by the afternoon, someone had given Yan Yingyuan a difficult problem!
"Sir, there is something wrong with the Dendrobium bucket at Fanji Grain Store on Dongda Street. It is much smaller. Some people went to argue and were injured!"
One of the responsibilities of the Military and Horse Command Department of the Five Cities is to check the street market once every three days, check the scales, check the names of the people and their prices. Beating people can actually be managed.
When Yan Yingyuan heard this, he immediately ordered without thinking: "This kind of thing must be reported, just follow the rules!"
After hearing this, his men reported mysteriously: "Sir, that Fan Ji Grain Store was opened by Shanxi merchants, and behind it was the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was in charge of our five-city military command department.
!”
The Military and Horse Divisions of the Five Cities were under the jurisdiction of the censors who patrolled the cities, and the censors were all assigned from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
This is a difficult problem and also Yan Yingyuan's first test. Are these subordinates watching what he does?
There were even subordinates who reminded them: "Sir, there are too many high-ranking officials under the jurisdiction of our Zhongcheng Military and Horse Command Department. The background of Fan Ji Grain Store is still simple. Those who are royal relatives and nobles are just
It’s even more difficult to mess with, and it’s really hard to serve!”
"What are you serving?" When Yan Yingyuan heard this, he shouted angrily, "You are eating the emperor's food and working for the emperor. Just act according to the rules set by the emperor! Who dares to retaliate, unless I fall first?
Otherwise, there would be nothing to do with you!"
In other words, if the sky falls, he holds it up!
In the late Ming Dynasty, there were really too few responsible people!
Although Yan Yingyuan's words were meant to scold his men, after hearing them, all of his men became energetic.
With Yan Yingyuan's words, their waists naturally became stronger.
So, if you don’t say anything, just follow Yan Yingyuan’s instructions!
Of course, they are also watching whether Yan Yingyuan will take the lead.
