Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 157 Missionary

"There is a time for you to fight, but not now."

Outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youxiao took a sweat towel and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead. He glanced at the depressed Cao Bianjiao and said with a smile: "I know you want to go to the battlefield to kill Jianlu. In the past few months, you have been in the Xishan camp. His performance has been praised by many generals and commanders, but rules are rules.”

"No one can overstep it, even I can't break the rules. Without rules, there is no rule, let alone in the army."

"No one under the age of 15 in the Yongwei camp can leave the Xishan camp to participate in the war. Since this rule is stated clearly in the decree issued by me, we must abide by it."

"If I had known this, I would have lied about my age."

Cao Bianjiao, who was wearing armor and carrying a sword, lowered his head and muttered to himself: "This guy Li Hongji can even join the battle..."

"What did you say?"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Cao Bianjiao angrily.

"No, nothing."

Cao Bianjiao hurriedly lowered his head and said.

"Yeah!!"

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Cao Bianjiao, "I don't know who you look like. Let's talk business. From today on, the Yongwei camp in Beijing will be temporarily under your command. Don't think that you can relax without going to war with the army.

You must pay close attention to drills, literacy, and martial arts. From today on, you will practice the military books and tactics that I have compiled. Those who fail the examination will not be as simple as beating a military stick.

In addition, the gun factory under the jurisdiction of the Military Warfare Bureau must regularly inspect and calibrate the guns, and the Yongwei Battalion staying in Beijing must be responsible for the specific operations.

In the eyes of outsiders, you are still young, but I never think so. Young men can do things just as well.

By the way, there is a department in the inner court in Beizhili. According to my instructions, I have gathered orphans and organized and organized them. I will leave it to you to take charge of it. If you can't do it well..."

"Then your Majesty will severely punish the general!!"

Cao Bianjiao shouted excitedly, cupping his fists.

Still need to sharpen.

Zhu Youxiao sighed with emotion and looked at Cao Bianjiao. What he wanted was not a fierce general who could only run rampant on the battlefield. When the Ming Dynasty's firearms gradually got on the right track, it would be an inevitable trend to promote the Ming army's reform. If you try to apply a combat concept, it will probably not work.

What Zhu Youxiao really wants is a handsome general who knows how to think and has ideas.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, Cao Bianjiao must be one of the benchmarks of that period. This cycle of cultivating Cao Bianjiao will also be the middle and early stage of the Ming army's reform.

When Cao Bianjiao can start to stand out in the army by relying on his own abilities and truly occupy a place, the reform involving the army will enter the later stage.

"There is no such thing as joking in the military."

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts and looked at Cao Bianjiao.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at the general's performance!"

Cao Bianjiao said with determination in his eyes.

"Okay! I like this spirit very much." Zhu Youxiao reached out and patted Cao Bianjiao's shoulder, "Get those military books and leave the palace and return to the camp."

"promise!"

Cao Bianjiao worshiped again.

Now that the seeds have been sown, it depends on when they will sprout and take root, and what Zhu Youxiao is most in need of is time.

Building a three-generation talent echelon of old, middle-aged and young people, whether at the official level or the military level, has always been planned in Zhu Youxiao's heart.

This cannot be done in a hurry.

Cao Bianjiao left and left Qianqing Palace with a batch of military documents. Compared with the low mood when he first entered the palace, Cao Bianjiao now had a high fighting spirit.He can't go to the battlefield, so he should do something else!

What excites Cao Bianjiao the most is that he can take charge of the Yongwei camp in Liujing. The batches of orphans recruited by the inner court officials will all be under his jurisdiction.

"This boy~"

Looking at Cao Bianjiao's leaving figure, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh and curse. Liu Ruoyu and Han Zanzhou who were waiting nearby could all feel that the emperor valued Cao Bianjiao.

Jane is in the emperor's heart. The Cao family's ancestral grave is filled with smoke.

The rising sun hanging high in the sky was a bit dazzling. In the direction of Qianqing Gate, the eunuch Wang Tigan, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was rushing towards Qianqing Palace in a hurry.

Although he met Cao Bianjiao on the way, Wang Tiqian, who had something to report, did not pay much attention to Cao Bianjiao. Seeing that the emperor was outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Wang Tiqian couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Slaves pay homage to the emperor."

"What's the matter?"

Looking at Wang Tiqian who was panting slightly, Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

"Luo Yangxing has returned to Beijing."

Wang Tigan said hurriedly: "There are dozens of missionaries who returned to the capital with him."

Luo Yangxing is back?

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly. If Wang Tiqian hadn't reported this, he would have forgotten about it. Unknowingly, Luo Yangxing had left Beijing for a long time.

There were so many things to be busy with before, and Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to the things that were assigned to Luo Yangxing in the past, as talents like Song Yingxing returned to Beijing.

"Where are the people?"

Zhu Youxiao rubbed his nose and said.

"Luo Yangxing is waiting outside the Meridian Gate."

Wang Tigan said hurriedly: "As for the missionaries who came to Beijing, Luo Yangxing was worried about causing unnecessary trouble, so he temporarily placed them somewhere outside the city."

Thoughtful enough.

Zhu Youxiao smiled. The reason why Luo Yangxing behaved like this was probably due to the influence of the Nanjing Mission Case. It was the first time that Catholicism suffered a heavy blow in the land of China. Not only were churches in Nanjing and other places destroyed, but even churches in Nanjing and other places were destroyed. The church in Beijing was also destroyed, and a large number of missionaries were deported to Macau.

Zhu Youxiao had no interest in this religion or that sect. If he came to Ming Dynasty with impure purposes, it would be impossible for him to develop.

Zhu Youxiao had a clear understanding of those missionaries who traveled thousands of miles across the ocean to come to the Ming Dynasty. The missionaries had other hidden purposes, but they underestimated the influence of Confucianism, and even more underestimated the power of the civilization nurtured by China. Thick and heavy, this will inevitably cause them to hit walls everywhere.

"Ask Luo Yangxing to come see me."

Zhu Youxiao flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards Dong Nuan Pavilion.

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Tigan said hurriedly.

Zhu Youxiao had a purpose in gathering a group of Western missionaries to Beijing, which was to allow Eastern and Western ideas to collide, take the essence and discard the dross, and gradually achieve some ideological progress.

Confucianism, which has been passed down for a long time, cannot be beaten to death with a stick. There are many good ideas and thoughts in it. However, due to the influence of various factors, some bad thoughts have appeared due to the long development and evolution. It is precisely this small Some bad things lead to some bad phenomena happening.

The mind is imprisoned, the feet are bound, the patriarchal system is greater than the law...

These are all unacceptable to Zhu Youxiao.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to get back on track from its deviation, there are many things that need to be changed. One of the most important links is national values. If the ideology related to this is not truly established, then even if the Ming Dynasty really has Even major changes may inevitably lead to decline and overturning in the end.
