Borrow the day to change the day

Compared with any other dynasties, the Ming Dynasty paid more attention to technology.Many officials have studied various science and technology, whether it is physics, chemistry, astronomy or geography, etc., have outstanding achievements, the most famous representative of which is Xu Guangqi.

Zhong Jinwei is showing attractive prospects now, and there is such a good foundation. Whether it is Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren, or Wang Chengen, they all agree with Zhong Jinwei's statement.

Because of this, the line of the research institute has been valued by the imperial court. Many scientific and technological achievements have not been developed as long as Zhong Jinwei thought. Of course, these are for later.

Both Emperor Chongzhen and Wen Tiren made statements on the spot, expressing their full support for matters related to technology.

Emperor Chongzhen then picked up a memorial on the imperial case and said: "Master Zhong, the summary of the new army in this battle of Denglai is very detailed, and I am very satisfied."

At this point, he turned to the Chief Assistant Wen Tiren and said, "Did Wen Qing read the copy of this memorial?"

"I have already seen it." Wen Tiren replied immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and continued: "So Wen Qing thinks it is possible to expand the new army?"

The new army cost a lot of money, so Emperor Chongzhen was so cautious and asked for the approval of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Zhong Jinwei has a record to endorse, so he is naturally confident.But at this moment, he was still a little nervous, waiting for Wen Tiren's reply.

"I read the details of the battle report. If the new army hadn't occupied a favorable terrain and the incident happened suddenly, it would have been impossible to rescue so many Denglai soldiers. The reason is indeed that the number of the new army is too small. Therefore, I have no objection to the expansion of the new army."

Wen Tiren's answer made Zhong Jinwei heave a sigh of relief. Just now he said that he was busy with the cabinet affairs, but Wen Tiren didn't bother with himself. As expected, the prime minister was able to pull a boat in his belly, which was inconsistent with some legends of later generations.

In the original history, the reason why Wen Tiren wanted to suppress political opponents was because of the general environment.In that era of party struggle, if Wen Tiren didn't suppress others, then others would suppress him.In this way, it is impossible to realize any political ideals.

But in this world, because of the appearance of Zhong Jinwei, the party struggle in the Ming court was greatly weakened.Because Zhong Jinwei's vision of future generations has opened up another big cake for them, so that they don't have to fight each other for the original cake.After all, if you fight each other, no matter you win or lose, you have to pay the price.

With the support of Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren's position as chief assistant was as stable as Mount Tai.Zhong Jinwei has no conflict of interest with him, on the contrary, he is still his help in many things.Just now Zhong Jinwei was just discussing the matter, so Wen Tiren would argue with Zhong Jinwei.

Seeing that Wen Tiren agreed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said to Zhong Jinwei: "There was money and food prepared for your new army, but I didn't expect to get it unexpectedly. Therefore, although Master Zhong is relieved, he will still follow the previous plan. , what I want is the Invincible Tiger Army."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhong Jinwei bowed in agreement, then looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, frowning a little and said, "Your Majesty, the expansion of the new army, the number of soldiers is no problem, and they can still be transformed from the Beijing camp, but the captain of Jinyiwei It's hard to find."

Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew the role of Jinyiwei political commissar Zhong Jinwei wanted.For him, this political commissar of Jinyiwei is also very necessary to exist in the new army, which is one of the reasons why he is so relieved to hand over the new army to Zhong Jinwei.

Hearing what Zhong Jinwei said, he thought for a while before asking: "Master Zhong, can't you be picked out of the current Jinyiwei?"

Zhong Jinwei managed to find five suitable ones in Jinyiwei before, but now he has to look for them again from the remaining Jinyiwei.

Because he had already searched for it, he knew the quality of Jinyiwei currently in the capital, and he was not very suitable for the position of political commissar, so he proposed it to Emperor Chongzhen.

Now when Emperor Chongzhen said it, he explained: "Your Majesty, I have already searched for it once, and there is indeed no suitable one. I don't want to lower the requirements because I can't find it, otherwise I will be irresponsible to the new army."

"What does Master Zhong mean?" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't understand. He couldn't do without, so he had to ask Zhong Jinwei.

Wang Chengen listened to it, and thought to himself, should he stand up and say that Dongchang has not been selected, can he come and choose?

But he weighed it over and over again, and still didn't say it.Because the army is under the supervision of Jinyiwei, and Dongchang only supervises Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.If I stand up and say this idea, I will be misunderstood that I have the intention of meddling in the army, and then I will not be able to tell clearly.

Under the watchful eyes of the three people in the hall, Zhong Jinwei calmly put forward his idea: "Your Majesty, I suggest that Jin Yiwei recruit some new people according to this requirement, and then the ministers will make selections."

After Zhong Jinwei's voice fell, the Wenhua Palace fell into silence, and no one spoke.

After a while, Wen Tiren spoke first: "Marquis Zhongxing, what you are dissatisfied with the current Jinyiwei is their attitude towards soldiers, isn't it?"

Wen Tiren is a fine person, and he guessed the habits of those Jinyiwei at once, that is, they love to put on airs, which makes ZTE candidates unable to choose people.

Zhong Jinwei looked at Wen Tiren, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Hearing Hou Zhongxing's reply, Wen Tiren smiled and said: "This will actually change. After the promotion of the Jinyiwei captain in the new army, those original Jinyiwei will naturally lower their posture and do what they should do after seeing it. things."

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he understood a little, and couldn't help smiling gratefully at Wen Tiren.

Emperor Chongzhen met at the top, and expressed his opinion: "The new army will still be expanded in the future, and there will still be a lot of suitable captains. I think what Master Zhong said is not unreasonable. Therefore, I think we can do both. Choose some more from the Jinyiwei, and recruit some Jinyiwei at the same time."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhong Jinwei immediately flattered him.

Wen Tiren had no objection either, as for Wang Chengen, he was ignored.

Just when Zhong Jinwei was about to go back to arrange things, Wen Tiren asked again: "Marquis Zhongxing, when will the expanded new army go to practice again?"

Zhong Jinwei heard the word "zilian" from Zhong Jinwei's mouth, and the new army's "zilian" won a big victory, which is more auspicious, and it also shows a sense of contempt for Jianlu.

For the time being, Zhong Jinwei only intends to double the size of the army, that is, 500 more people, so that although the new army has expanded, its combat power can be restored quickly.

He thought for a while and replied: "Isn't Jianlu short of food? I plan to make trouble before Jianlu wants to harvest the grain."

Emperor Chongzhen had no objection to this, but was only concerned about one question: "Master Zhong, are you going to fight from Jinzhou?"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he shook his head and said: "Jinzhou must be the elite camp of Jianlu. The current number of new troops is not large enough to face head-to-head with the main force of Jianlu. Therefore, I think it is better to find a weak spot on the Denglai line. The reason is to give Jianlu a hard time."
