Whoosh!
Zhu Youtang stared at Huang Hua from afar and blinked his eyes without batting an eyelid.
Huang Hua was touched and instantly felt that the distance between him and Tian Zi had shortened a lot.
It seemed that Tian Zi had always trusted him.
If he wasn't muddle-headed and slandered Ma Wensheng in the Hall of Heaven's Tribute, why would he end up like this? At this moment, the great responsibility of the southeast had already been handed over to him.
However, Huang Hua did not hate Zhu Youtang at all.
He had to admit his mistakes even with tears in his eyes. When he finished his training in the Nine Fences, he would be loyal to His Majesty and the country!
When Zhu Youtang joined the battle between the two sides, the tone of this discussion of opening the sea was set.
The Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Jian, did not want to admit defeat.
However, when Huang Hua threw these pieces of evidence in front of him, what else could he say?
In the end, Zhu Youtang came to a conclusion and figured out the meaning of Taizu. What could he say?
"My emperor is wise, long live my emperor!"
Wang Jian shouted helplessly.
All the officials shouted together, and the mountain shouted like a tsunami.
Zhu Youtang waved his hand to let the officials stand up before sighing,"It was my fault."
The officials found it strange as Zhu Youtang continued,""For a hundred years, I couldn't even fathom the Great Ancestor's holy will.”
They knew that Zhu Youtang was putting on an act, but the officials could only admit their mistakes."We are ashamed!"
Zhu Youtang pretended to be helpless." Since that's the case, the relevant departments should make preparations. In June this year, we will reopen the shipping departments of the three cities of Ningbo, Wenzhou, and Fujian. The official ships can go out to sea, and the people inside and outside can move around in the coastal waters.”
"Liu Daxia."
"Your humble subject is here."
Zhu Youtang looked at Liu Daxia and said indifferently,""The reopening of the Ocean Transportation Bureau will require the protection of a naval force.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Dismiss the court. Ma Wensheng, follow me to the warm pavilion.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
The court meeting dispersed, and the officials retreated in groups of three to five.
The three cabinet ministers and the six ministers walked side by side.
The three of them were sweating profusely. Firstly, the weather was too hot, and secondly, they were shocked by Zhu Youtang's methods.
The six departments of the cabinet were completely convinced by Zhu Youtang.
He had clearly demoted Huang Hua to the nine sides. This holy order was personally issued by Zhu Youtang.
However, who would have thought, and dared to think, that Huang Hua would actually be willing to transform into a sharp sword in Zhu Youtang's hands?
Just what kind of method did the Emperor use to subdue people's hearts to such an extent?!
It seemed like an emperor had the ability to govern people's hearts.
However, Zhu Youtang's accuracy in judging people and things was too numbing! Huang Hua was like this, and Ma Wensheng was even more so.
None of the officials who were entrusted with important tasks by Zhu Youtang were mediocre!
The nine old foxes of the six departments of the cabinet really did not know how to describe Zhu Youtang except for sincerely exclaiming," Our emperor is wise."
It had been more than a hundred years since the Ming Dynasty had produced such an emperor. The six departments of the cabinet were gratified, but at the same time, they felt as if they were treading on thin ice.
……
West Garden Warm Pavilion.
Another scorching summer.
Zhu Youtang arrived late. After sitting down, he said to Ma Wensheng,"Minister Ma doesn't need to bow."
"Go and bring a chair for Minister Ma to sit on. Pick some ice cubes for Minister Ma to cool down.”
After Ma Wensheng sat down, Zhu Youtang handed the secret document of the Jinyiwei from the southeast to Ma Wensheng.""Go back and take a look."
"Your humble subject obeys."
Zhu Youtang stared at Ma Wensheng." The southeast is not as difficult to govern as the west."”
Zhu Youtang changed his tone and said solemnly,""Ma Wensheng, don't let me down. It's not just the Japanese that govern the southeast, but also the wise.”
"I'll give you the imperial sword. You can act first before reporting!”
Ma Wensheng was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
"I! I won't let you down!"
Zhu Youtang pressed his hand down, not letting Ma Wensheng continue to express his loyalty.
"I've read through the information of the Ministry of Personnel and sent someone to you.”
Ma Wensheng replied solemnly,"I will listen to the Holy Word."”
Zhu Youtang went straight to the point.”
"This person can take on a great responsibility. After you become the governor of the southeast, transfer this person to the southeast. Don't entrust him with any heavy responsibilities first.”
"This subject obeys the decree!"
After thanking him, Ma Wensheng prepared to go back and pack his luggage.
Zhu Youtang stopped him, just like before he left.
"Not only do I want peace in the southeast, I also want Japan!”
Ma Wensheng was stunned, and then his entire body trembled.""How dare you insult His Majesty? As long as the Ming Navy does not reach Japan, I will not return to the capital!”
Zhu Youtang said,"Men! Give Ma Wensheng the imperial sword!"
……
Ma Wensheng returned to the mansion and didn't dare to stay any longer. He said to his family,""Pack your belongings and prepare to depart for the southeast.”
He finished speaking.
He went to the study alone and respectfully opened the secret document that Zhu Youtang had given him.
When he opened the secret document, he saw the disaster of the Japanese pirates in the southeast.
Ma Wensheng was furious!
A mere hundred Japanese dared to attack the Bright Land like this!
After careful consideration, Ma Wensheng finally understood why Zhu Youtang said that governing the southwest was not only to govern the Japanese, but also to govern the internal affairs of the Ming court.
Ma Wensheng's eyes were red." You dare to provoke my emperor? Don't blame me for being disadvantageous!"”
……
Yangxin Palace Hall.
The Minister of War, Liu Daxia, had sent the blueprint of the cannons that the Ministry of Works had initially reformed.
Many of them had the prototype of the Franc Machine Cannon.
Zhu Youtang sincerely sighed,"This is the wisdom of the Han people!"”
There were many things that could be done in advance.
As long as the monarch paid enough attention to something, there would always be a group of great people who would devote their efforts to the country.
The craftsmen of the Ministry of Works were all good.
However, Zhu Youtang was not a barbarian.
These cannons only had a range of a hundred meters and could not be adjusted.
However, since the Ministry of War could do this, Zhu Youtang would not make things difficult for them.
Some advanced weapons could not be improved no matter how hard they racked their brains.
Zhu Youtang wouldn't let the Ming navy suffer on the battlefield.
He pondered for a moment and said,"Go and get the blueprints."”
After a short while, Zhang Min walked over with a huge piece of Xuan paper.
On this night, Zhu Youtang kept recalling the style of the Franc machine gun in the future.
On this night, Zhu Youtang added the mother cannon, rotating gears, and other scattered designs and ideas to the crystallization of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works.
He could only give a rough idea, but the actual improvement would still depend on the Ministry of Works.
