"Don't be anxious. Zhen just doesn't have that much money for the time being.
And I can give you policies. For example, you can go and suppress the bandits, and the profits can be used to develop the new army…
However, I will send out an instructor.”
During the Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were the supervisors of the army. The power of the supervisors was great. They had the power to reject the orders of the general and also had their own guards.
Lu Xiangsheng wasn't surprised, but he felt strange about what the instructor said.
" The so-called instructor actually means to guide the soldiers 'psychology. At night, he will tell stories to the soldiers and teach them simple mathematics and literacy…
The instructor had no decision-making power, nor did he have the right to refute the general. However, he had the right to record and know.”
Wu Yunqing explained. Of course, he would not let eunuchs supervise the army. Many battles in the Ming Dynasty were messed up because of eunuchs supervising the army.
When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he was relieved. His Majesty really trusted him. He couldn't help but be very touched and immediately knelt down." I will definitely build the Tianxiong Army even if I have to go through fire and water!"”
Wu Yunqing heaved a sigh of relief.
The Tianxiong Army was originally only formed a few years later. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng was harassed by the peasant army, and the imperial army could not handle it, so he established the Tianxiong Army.
At that time, the Tianxiong Army was not a regular army, nor did it have the rations of the imperial court. It was just a militia.
But even so, with Lu Xiangsheng's personal charm, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were able to fight like wolves. They would rather fight the Guanning Cavalry than the Tianxiong Army.
Without money, he could only do so much.
They couldn't move the border for the time being. Even if they knew that investing so much money wouldn't be of much use, Wu Yunqing had to continue investing.
Ever since the last time he attended court, Wu Yunqing had begun to attend court.
However, he made a rule that he would attend court once every ten days and not at other times.
The ministers all petitioned for the Emperor to be diligent in government affairs, but Wu Yunqing simply ignored them.
However, he felt that there were still too few cabinet ministers. Sun Chengzong, this old man, also came to complain, saying that there were too many things to do and that he could not hold on any longer.
Thus, Wu Yunqing brought two people over. One of them was Xue Guoguan, who was only in charge of the Ministry of Revenue.
The other one was Fan Jingwen. This Fan Jingwen had the highest official position among those who died for the country in the late Ming Dynasty, and he was very capable.
However, Fan Jingwen was just a lowly official at the moment. He was only a selection doctor, a sinecure.
It was impossible for them to become cabinet ministers all of a sudden. Even if Wu Yunqing was the emperor, it would not work. No one would be convinced.
Even if he entered the cabinet, no one would listen to him.
Therefore, Wu Yunqing first promoted Fan Jingwen to a small official position, and Fan Jingwen was transferred to the Ministry of Works to be in charge of firearms research and development.
Fan Jingwen was very surprised. Although he had been promoted and became a member of the Firearms Division of the Ministry of Works, he was now a Rank-6.
However, Fan Jingwen was not happy because the Ministry of Works was the second worst out of the six departments. The Ministry of Rites was the worst, followed by the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Works dealt with craftsmen, who were all lowly servants. Therefore, the civil officials looked down on craftsmen and even the officials of the Ministry of Works.
Wu Yunqing didn't care what others thought. He just followed his own plan.
However, weapon modification was not a small matter. It cost a lot.
Moreover, Wu Yunqing thought that no matter how good the weapon was, it would be a waste if he could not do it.
Take it slow. You can't rush it.
A month later, the short-term training course was completed.
These people had no problem calculating addition, multiplication, and division, and they were also familiar with the nine-nine multiplication table.
Not only that, but they also carried many slogans, such as " Everyone has a responsibility to protect the country!”
"Great Ming is my motherland, and His Majesty is our guiding light. Follow closely in His Majesty's footsteps!”
"Ambition is hungry for Hu meat, laughing and drinking Slave Jian's blood!”
These slogans had to be read for two hours every day, and everyone had a small notebook with these slogans recorded on it.
Eunuchs had been traded for loyalty since they were young, and now, they were also patriotic.
After the test, Wu Yunqing was very satisfied. They could basically make a tinder.
Wang Chengen's team received the highest score, so this guy became the junior supervisor of the publicity department. The others were the managers of the next level.
Immediately, Wu Yunqing asked Wang Chengen to continue training.
This time, they were going to expand the scale. Each team member could choose 50 people to train, and those who passed the training would be their own subordinates.
Of course, the original 100 people still had to continue their studies at night.
Wu Yunqing planned to train them for half a year, and then they would start to work.
"Let Gao Qi sneak in."
"Yes."
Gao Qiqian had performed well, and Wu Yunqing decided to give him a chance to show off.
