Ganqing Palace.

Zhu Youxiao just saw the gift Chen Xin gave him at this time.

Among these gifts, the glass mirror that Chen Xin said that can see far is naturally a telescope.

The telescope was invented in the 36th year of Wanli.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised that Chen Xinneng offered his telescope.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao was actually very happy to get this thing.

Because Zhu Youxiao knew very well that as long as he issued an order to promote this thing, it would undoubtedly be of great help to the Ming Dynasty's military, navigation and astronomy.

Of course, Zhu Youxiao also likes the turtledove-like musket offered by Chen Xin very much.

Because Zhu Youxiao also knew that this turtledove gun was the best firearm of this era.

Historically, the turtle dove gun appeared in the eighth year of Chongzhen, when Xiong Wencan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxiong, purchased 100 turtle dove guns from Westerners and sent them to Beijing.

Now that Zhu Youxiao can get this thing in advance, it is naturally a good thing.

"Your Majesty, this gun weighs 26 kilograms, five feet and five inches long, one inch and three cents wide on the outer mouth, six cents wide on the inner mouth, one 200 cents wide on the medicine, one 200 cents of lead, and can shoot three hundred steps away, and one hundred steps can throw wooden boards and light armor! It is undoubtedly more powerful than a bird gun. I thought that you must like this kind of big guy, so I brought it to Beijing!"

Chen Xin carefully introduced the things at the request of Zhu Youxiao.

Xu Guangqi, who was ordered to go to the palace again to report on the recruitment of students from the martial arts hall, asked in surprise after listening: "Can you really penetrate the wooden board?"

As he said that, Xu Guangqi bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty! As far as I know, when the Eastern Lu fights, they are good at placing shield chariots in front of the formation to block our arms. If this sharp weapon is really so powerful, it will undoubtedly break the shield chariot array!"

Zhu Youxiao said to Xu Guangqi: "Then try it. This gun is handed over to you first. Take this gun to the Xiyuan schoolyard to test the gun, and let the veterans also take a look and comment on this gun. If it can really break the Donglu Shield Vehicle, send someone to the south to buy this gun and at the same time, they can develop this object!"

"yes!"

Xu Guangqi replied, and took over the turtledove gun from Zhu Youxiao.

Next, Zhu Youxiao said to Chen Xin now: "I like the things you offer very much, and they are all things that are beneficial to the country. It can be seen that you are a very good at capturing foreign weapons for our Chinese use. I have decided to promote you to the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei and set up the Nanyang Punishment Office. You first serve as the Nanyang Punishment Office, and the department is responsible for purchasing treasures from Nanyang and exploring news from outside Nanyang and the situation of pirates and sea trade."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly set up a Nanyang Fufu Department, which was not as simple as asking Chen Xin to buy Western goods for him, but was deliberately preparing for the future of the Nanyang and even the dominance of the sea.

Chen Xin did not expect that he was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the fourth-rank Jinyiwei because he gave His Majesty some gifts, and he also took charge of a new yamen.

But Chen Xin found that the emperor was good at and loved the things he wanted to do for him, so he excitedly hurriedly said: "I thank Your Majesty!"

Then, Zhu Youxiao told Chen Xin again: "Western people are good at firearms, so in addition to purchasing prices, as for people, you can find a way to hire some experienced Western craftsmen for me! The more, the better!"

Chen Xin nodded and said yes.

Xu Guangqi saw that the emperor asked Chen Xin to purchase Western firearms and hire Western craftsmen to be just his wish, so he smiled and thought that although Zi is in the palace today, he seems to have a vision and a broad mind to embrace all rivers. In the future, the Ming Dynasty may really be expected to create another prosperous era.

Therefore, Xu Guangqi reported to Zhu Youxiao even more energetic: "Your Majesty, the list of recommended students of the first martial arts lecture hall has been drawn up. Please check it out. In addition to the young generals who are now famous in the army, such as Ma, You, Yu, Qi, Liu, etc., there are some military officers who are from the army who have won the Eastern Barbarians and have made meritorious contributions!"

Zhu Youxiao took the roster and looked at it carefully. Seeing that Xu Guangqi was tactful and did not use the Liao generals who were the Li Chengliang and other groups, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "There are not many students, but there is no way. Nowadays, most of the people who are good at fighting are generals. Let's just give these people first. At worst, there will be fewer soldiers in the early stage."

The reason why Zhu Youxiao did not want to use the Liaodi generals was naturally that he had long known that the Liaodi Army Town and Jianlu were never as simple as the enemy-to-me relationship.

Because Jianlu can become bigger, in fact, it is because the Liao army town, namely Li Chengliang, was raising the enemy and respecting himself, and in the end, the Jianlu is getting bigger and bigger.

Even later, the Liao army town became the basis of the Eight Banners of the Han army of the Later Jin Dynasty, and also became the decisive force for the Later Jin Dynasty to enter China.

In fact, the current Liaodi military town is already in a difficult situation, and by the time of Zu Dashou, he would have been obedient to the tune and not the propaganda.

What's more, the Liao army town is still in love with the Donglin Party, which represents the interests of the gentry in Jiangnan.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not trust the Liao generals, and he wanted to train troops himself to control the Liao army town that was disobedient in the future.

Let's turn the words back.

When Xu Guangqi saw that Zhu Youxiao said that there were few people to choose from, he simply said boldly: "Your Majesty said that, from my opinion, I don't know if it is possible to let scholars enter the martial arts lecture hall to study! Since ancient times, there have been many scholars with both civil and military skills, such as Xin Qiji and Yu Qian. I already know that among the scholars in the capital, there are people who are very good at riding and shooting, and there are also Sun Chuanting, the young minister of Taipu Temple in Beijing, and the magistrate of Sun Chuanting, who is a county magistrate outside, are all knowledgeable people. I have private messages with them, so I know that they are very good at talking about military affairs in the world. If they have to wait for their position and governor, it would be too late to get them in charge of military affairs!"

Zhu Youxiao also knew about Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Yuan Keli, etc., and he had long been written on the list of his future reuse.

However, Zhu Youxiao has not thought about where to put them, and he also wants them to continue to practice at the local or below first, so he has not issued a direct order to summon him.

But now when Zhu Youxiao heard Xu Guangqi mention these two people, he felt that they could indeed let these people join the army.

To be precise, it is to join the army with a pen.

"Now that civil and military imbalances are unbalanced, people in the world value civil and military oppose civil and military. These people may not be willing to join the army, but they can also try to pass the imperial edicts in the cabinet, and plan to entrust civil servants and scholars to join the army with their pens. For future governors and governors' strategies and even the central hall, all officials and scholars who are willing to join the army with their pens will retain their civil servants' bodies and fame. Once students or above are admitted or selected into the martial arts lecture hall, they can directly be granted a Jinshi and awarded an official without going through the provincial examination!"

Zhu Youxiao also said: "In addition to the first phase being opened in time and not requiring too many students for the time being, each phase will adopt the examination system and allow all citizens to apply for the exam, regardless of their background, but only their character!"

"Yes! I'll do it now."

Xu Guangqi replied and sued Zhu Youxiao.

Not long after, Wei Zhongxian ran over: "Emperor, Miao Changqi has recruited him! He also told all the officials who resisted the order and broke into the city! Fan Yuqing has also asked, and also told all the names of all the officials who harbored him and tried to take him out of the city, which is consistent with the confession of Miao Changqi."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao looked serious and asked directly: "Is there Zhou Yanru?"

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied: "Yes!"

"I will arrest me and go to the imperial prison! I will strictly examine Zhou Yanru and ask him what spy he put in the palace. In addition, Miao Changqi and Fan Yuqing and other anti-order people have tried so seriously. It is not ruled out that these people collude with the people of the inner court. They must be asked clearly!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly said.
Chapter completed!
