Chapter 571

Zhenwu had no intention of blame, and Yinlu couldn't help but feel relieved. He knew that he did not have the ability to command military and fight, and had no experience in handling government affairs, and he could not match his brothers at all. The only thing that was outstanding was the naval weapon research institute assigned by Zhenwu. He naturally put a lot of effort into it. He was good at arithmetic since he was a child, and was praised by Kangxi many times. He also met many calendar scholars in the capital.

After taking on the job last year, he collected the members of the Calendar Computing "The Origin of the Literary" in Mengyangzhai, Mei Wending, Mei Cheng, Nian Xiyao, Wei Tingzhen, Wang Lansheng, Wang Zhirui, Chen Wance, Xu Yongxi, Li Zhonglun, Mei Yongcheng and others to Tianjin. However, the court was very strict in managing firearms, and the people did not know much about firearms. Although they had good at math, they didn't know where to start for a while. In fact, he was more anxious than Zhenwu.

Hearing Zhenwu's proposal to find the right research direction and goals, communicate more with soldiers to understand the shortcomings of existing firearms, and put forward specific requirements, he was immediately excited and bowed and said, "After this point of view of the emperor, I suddenly realized it, and when I go back, I will assign specific tasks."

Seeing Yinlu's youthful character, Zhenwu smiled slightly. During this year, he was busy with his affairs and was very neglected by the Navy's firearms Institute. Now that he thought about it, he naturally had to get it in one step. After a moment of pondering, he said: "The Weapons Institute must have a special casting workshop, an iron smelting workshop, and the best craftsmen to cast firearms for research. If you find a place near the Naval Academy and build the institute, all the facilities must be the best. The treatment of researchers will be gradually improved in the future compared to the seventh-rank official.

In addition, you should also focus on research on gunpowder. If you contact the military workshop in Shanghai, you can gather all kinds of research talents. Those who are interested in shipbuilding can be transferred to the Shanghai shipyard. There is no need to worry about any expenses, and I will be responsible for it."

Yinlu's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this. It seemed that Zhenwu had high expectations for this Firearms Research Institute. He hurriedly bowed and said, "My brother is the decree."

Lao Jiu Yinzhen couldn't help but feel surprised: "Master, aren't our navy's firearms far better than European countries now? Why do we spend a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to study and improve firearms?"

Zhenwu looked at the two of them and said slowly: "Bow, horse, horse, and cavalry are no longer enough. Now the one who leads the war is the firearms. I can say that 20,000 are fully equipped. A well-trained navy can completely sweep the eight banners of the capital. Although the walls of the capital are tall and thick, they are no different from paper in front of the navy's heavy artillery. When the cavalry faces muskets and artillery, they don't even have the chance to charge, and they can only escape and have a chance to survive."

Navy firearms are so sharp? After hearing this, Yinzhen was shocked. He was stunned for a moment, and felt that it was wrong. Lao Si's words were incorrect. What does it mean? It could not be to hit himself. Should he be passing the message himself? Just thinking about it, Zhenwu continued: "European countries have an understanding of firearms earlier than us and attach more importance to them than us. They are also stepping up their research and improvement of firearms. They are very clear that the advantages and disadvantages of firearms directly determine the outcome of the war.

At present, although our firearms have an advantage, they are not obvious. We cannot be complacent at any time and we cannot be chasing or surpassing. We cannot just stay away from it.

The advantages and disadvantages of firearms determine the strength of the navy. The Qing Navy was first established and started several decades later than the European maritime power. In terms of navigation and warship construction, we lag behind Europe. The only advantage is firearms. If the firearms lose their advantages, the Qing Navy will inevitably be defeated repeatedly.

If such a situation really occurs, not to mention the American finite countries, even Australia will be stolen, and even the Qing Dynasty will be constantly ceded. Although the Qing Dynasty has a vast territory, it cannot withstand several cedings.

To maintain the glory of the navy and ensure its strength, we must persist in researching and improving firearms, learn European shipbuilding and navigating technology, and surpass Europe in all aspects."

After a slight pause, he looked at Yinlu and said, "In the navy, what I value most is not soldiers and generals, but researchers of firearms and shipbuilding. They are the guarantee of the navy's strength. My sixteenth brother is proficient in mathematics and has also met many mathematical experts. In the navy's great use, I will build the navy's weapons, shipbuilding, and ironmaking research institute. I will remember your great achievements.

After some research on weapons, shipbuilding, steelmaking and ironmaking, I will also reward relevant researchers. I will not hesitate to have titles, official positions and money."

When Zhenwu mentioned the title clearly, Yinlu's face immediately flushed and red. What he was most concerned about now was the title. He immediately bowed and said, "The emperor's holy thoughts are far-reaching. I must do my best to build the Firearms Research Institute as soon as possible."

After talking for a while, Zhenwu was exhausted. He nodded slightly and said, "Let me kneel down first."

When the two left, Zhenwu also stood up and left the hall, leisurely dispersing all the way to the back garden. This time he came to Tianjin, he was on the spot to inspect the situation of the bannermen in the military workshop, and secretly prepared for the upcoming drought in the spring, but his main purpose was to take this opportunity to test the reactions of all parties.

Since Kangxi is still there, since he ascended the throne, he has basically been Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, striving for a smooth transition. Another person also wants to see Kangxi's recovery. Although Kangxi was paralyzed, he was awake. Changchun Garden's protection was all done by him with several old ministers in the guards. Zhenwu could not install anyone at all. Of course, he didn't want to install anyone. He was deeply grateful to Kangxi. Kangxi has lived a year or less and he really didn't want to make Kangxi feel uneasy or frustrated, which would be of no benefit to anyone.

Originally, he thought that this situation would last for at least one year, but Kangxi took the initiative to move to the Rehe Palace - the Summer Resort. Although the Summer Resort is known as the second political center of the Qing Dynasty, it is incomparable to the capital. Kangxi's move is tantamount to showing that he has no hope for recovery and voluntarily withdraws from the power center of the Qing Dynasty.

Since this is the case, Zhenwu naturally had no need to be stable anymore. It has been half a year since he ascended the throne, and people's hearts have long been settled. It is time to consolidate the imperial power, cultivate its own power, and show its strength. However, in order to maintain Kangxi's face, he was still very sensible in adjusting the ministers, but he was not so polite to the banner lords and princes. There was no room for compromise in military power.

From the New Imperial Guards' New Army's Eight Banners, the Elder Thirteenth Prime Minister's Ministry of War, the Fengtai Camp, the cleanup of the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, to the use of the top three banners to replace the Five Banners, after these series of methods, he wanted to see the reactions of these banner lords and princes, and see if there are no fear of death who dare to take advantage of his failure to make trouble in the capital. He now urgently needs one or two people to establish authority, the more noble the identity, the better.

In addition, this time, it was also a test for Lao Ba. Lao Ba had a good relationship with the princes and princes of the banner. Lao Shi now held a new army of imperial guards. He wanted people and soldiers, and he was not in the capital. If he really had the intention of being unjust, he could take the opportunity to hostage Kangxi and depose himself as the emperor and establish a new king. This was the last chance for him. If he gave up this opportunity, it would mean he was willing to be a minister.

Just as he walked, he was in a daze, but suddenly a song came out of the forest on the right, "The shadows of the wild goosely come, and I suddenly found the branches to cover the green and beautiful branches, I washed my bow shoes and embroidered them, and the skirt was exposed by the wall..." The song was sweet and crisp, and every word was made of gold and jade. Zhenwu couldn't help but stop and listen, but the song stopped abruptly. He couldn't help but smile. These bold palace maids used this to attract themselves and gain the position. They should have been driven away by the guards.

Since Kangxi went to Changchun Garden, the concubines and palace maids in the harem naturally followed. Even his mother, Concubine De, followed him. He ascended the throne for half a year, but had not yet performed a talent show. The harem was really empty, so it was no wonder that these palace maids had ideas.

He smiled slightly, and he walked forward slowly. After this, it was time to start the draft. Three Koreans and Six Instruments were all looking forward to it. However, the changes to the rules of serving the bed were too rigid. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown slightly. It has been half a year, so why has the Japanese people not condemned the court? The young Japanese general Tokugawa Ietsugu must have been forced to abdicate. After the freeze, he had to condemn the people to see what was going on.

There were many yamen in Tianjin. In the Ming Dynasty, Tianjin was an important place for the Three Guards. There were twenty-four yamen in three guards alone. In addition, there were more than thirty yamen in the three guards, such as the Ministry of Housing, Tianjin Military Preparation Bureau, the Military Preparation Bureau, the Military Preparation Bureau, the Qing Military Department, the Yanyun Preparation Bureau, the Literature and Military Affairs Office, etc. In the Qing Dynasty, the Three Guards in Tianjin were integrated, and some new official offices were built.

There are many yamen, and of course there are many officials. Because there are subdivisions of various departments and courts, there are many people in Manchu officials, including many well-informed ones. Before Shi Shilun's sedan chair returned to the yamen, the court restored the Governor of Zhili, promoted Shi Shilun to the Governor of Zhili, and moved the Governor's yamen to Tianjin, and Tianjin was also promoted to the prefecture.

As soon as the news spread, the whole of Tianjin immediately caused a sensation. The officials, gentlemen and common people raised their hands to celebrate. Tianjin set up a governor's office and was promoted to a government office. This meant a large number of officials and opportunities for promotion. The officials were naturally very happy and immediately started to rush around to make arrangements, hoping to get a share of the pie.

The gentry was glad that Tianjin would usher in greater development. Tianjin's promotion to the government and the location of the Governor's Office would definitely add icing on the cake and become more prosperous and prosperous. The people raised their hands to celebrate because Shi Shilun, a clean official, could stay in Tianjin for a few more years.

After confirming that the news was true, the gentry, wealthy merchants and people in Tianjin began to set off firecrackers to celebrate. The sound of firecrackers was sparse at first, but soon became dense. Many wealthy merchants and people even went to the Dingzigu Palace to kowtow far away.
