Chapter 45 Rescue Xiong Tingbi and hang the head of the civil servant in public!

Zhang Gui was stunned, thinking that Tianqi was indeed not a foolish king who only knew how to be a carpenter. He understood what he meant so quickly.

Tianqi then smiled slightly: "But I have no other better way besides promising you. If these technologies are handed over to the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Military Affairs, they will undoubtedly make crude firearms. I also know that the Ministry of Industry and the Bureau of Military Affairs will

What's lacking is not the skills, it's that everything is broken."

Having said this, Tianqi said: "The Fifth Army Governor's Mansion no longer has any real power, but now, I have decided to restore some of his real power. You will set up an Industry Department and an Ordnance Department in the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion as the Left Governor! Industrial Department

Song Yingxing, the disciple who is currently working for you, is appointed as the head of the sixth rank, and the Qi Qing family is also the head of the Ordnance Department. The yamen and factories of these two companies are still located in Xishan. The purchase of raw materials and the sale of finished products of the two companies must be approved by the West Factory, and

The West Factory needs to report to me directly. I will give you 10% of the profits of the two companies to the Zhang family, and the other managers and craftsmen will also receive 10% in addition to their monthly salary. In this way, it is not in vain for you to do these things for me."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Zhang Gui and others all replied and laughed heartily.

Even Song Yingxing was overjoyed, because it meant that he, who had been waiting to be elected as an official in the Ministry of Personnel, finally got an official position in the court.

"In this case, Xishan cannot be left without heavy troops guarding it."

"Let's do this. Set up a fort and a battalion in the west mountain. It will be called the Xishan Camp, and it will still belong to the Beijing Camp. Next, we will train and expand the army, and we should form a Xishan Camp."

After Tianqi thought for a while, he said to Zhang Gui.

"What your Majesty said is that if you want to train your Majesty's soldiers, you cannot do without your Majesty's generals. In my opinion, we must first set up a military preparation school to select loyal, brave and intelligent people as a reserve for future generals!"

"Because, nowadays, most of the good generals in the world are generals and private generals. They are not completely trained by the imperial court and are not absolutely loyal to His Majesty. As a result, most of the good military generals are private soldiers of generals and not soldiers of the imperial court."

Zhang Guize took the opportunity to propose the necessity of establishing a military academy.

After Tianqi heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Zhang Gui: "How to train people in the Military Academy?"

"Choose veteran generals who can no longer kill the enemy and have returned to the fields to train for Your Majesty in the capital, instead of staying at home and only training the younger members of the clan! In addition, those who have been dismissed or promoted to official positions who know the military and have strategies can also be used as martial arts masters to train for Your Majesty.

Training generals! It can be considered that people make the best use of their talents. For example, Xiong Tingbi has been imprisoned. "

Zhang Gui replied.

After Tianqi heard this, he looked at Zhang Gui for a while and suddenly asked: "Then who do you think is the right person to take charge of this martial arts?"

Zhang Gui knew what Tianqi meant and replied without thinking: "Of course it is appropriate for His Majesty to take charge personally!"

"Since you said so, I decided to give it a try!"

"The army only obeys my orders, and the generals only obey my orders. This is indeed what I want to see. If it can be realized through a military preparation school as you said, then it is naturally the best."

After saying that, Tianqi said: "I'm sure! Xiong Tingbi's crime will not be pursued!"

Immediately, Tianqi ordered Cannon to Wei Zhongxian: "Preach the decree and let him go, saying that it was the favor requested by the uncle."

Then, Tianqi said to Zhang Gui: "You will also recommend other veteran ministers or generals who know how to serve in the military and become officials. The military preparation school must be prepared as soon as possible."

"yes!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Xiong Tingbi was impeached and resigned from office because of the defeat of Guangning in the early second year of Tianqi, and was imprisoned in prison together with Wang Huazhen.

According to the original historical development, he would be executed in the fifth year of Tianqi, becoming the first Liaodong manager to be executed in the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhang Gui, a butterfly from later generations, flapped his wings slightly, which changed Xiong Tingbi's personal destiny.

Of course, in essence, it has something to do with Tianqi’s lack of motivation to execute Xiong Tingbi.

Otherwise, historically, Xiong Tingbi would not have been executed from the second year of the Apocalypse to the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

Xiong Tingbi's execution in history had a lot to do with his personal character. He had a bad temper and was stubborn, so he would not deal with anyone. He had a bad relationship with the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and he was not willing to submit to weakness.

, and thus ended up dying.

Of course, in Zhang Gui's view, it would be a good thing for Xiong Tingbi's shortcomings to be used in the Military Academy to discipline future military cadets.

No matter what the background of the officer cadet was, Zhang Gui believed that Xiong Tingbi would dare to discipline him.

…

Daming Gate.

The heads of Fang Kezhuang and several of his dead soldiers are hanging here.

Entering the Qianbu Corridor from here, the civil servants who went to various central government offices looked at these heads. You can imagine how they felt. Some were deeply shocked, and some were angry.

"How cruel and cruel!"

Wang Ji, who succeeded Zhang Heming as Minister of War, could not help but gritted his teeth and said something to his colleague Hou Xun when passing by Daming Gate.

"Restore Zhang Jiangling's official title, order the military minister Zhang Gui to reorganize the capital camp, set up a west factory, set up a weapons school, and released Xiong Tingbi from prison. All of these are preparing him to become a single-minded thieves!"

"Since our uncle Wei and the eunuch Wei Zhongxian were favored, today these two people have become more and more unscrupulous, disorderly etiquette and government, and will not be immoral! The house master was executed, and the second master in charge of money issued an edict.

Prison is just a threat to me, the Donglin Qunxian."

Hou Xun also said after hearing this.

After Wang Ji heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "What did he say? Is he willing to just watch this uncle coerce the king and incite the emperor to do mean and cruel things?"

Hou Xun replied: "He is talking about money. Guan Ergong is in the imperial edict and has not been dealt with. It is clear that the emperor is setting a trap for us Donglin sages. Who can intercede for them at this time, or criticize the uncle and others?"

If you use power and secretly harbor dissatisfaction with the emperor, whoever will be framed for money will be in charge of the two princes' accomplices! He asked us to be patient for the time being and pay attention to the emperor's intention to train his own troops."

"What he said is that the emperor suddenly issued an order to rectify the capital camp, and only let the military minister Zhang Gui supervise the military affairs of the capital camp, and did not let me, a private soldier, participate. His intention was undoubtedly to abandon me, the civil servant, to control the military and horsemen alone, imitating the martial arts temple.

The old thing, setting up a military academy, is exactly the same as the old martial arts temple accepting a large number of frontier military ministers as adopted sons! The emperor must first train his own soldiers and horses before he dares to implement his new policy."

Wang Ji thought for a while and said.

"Therefore, the emperor cannot be allowed to have his own soldiers and horses! What's more, with the emperor's virtue, if he has soldiers and horses in hand, he will definitely do what Jie and Zhou do!"

Hou Xun suddenly said decisively.

Wang Ji nodded and asked, "Then what countermeasures did he propose for this?"

"What he means is that in today's world, not only we don't want the emperor to be a tyrant and a traitor to the people, but also the generals on the nine sides, especially the generals in Liaodong!"

"And if your Majesty wants to train your troops, you must first have money and food. Now your Majesty's training is based on a large amount of money and food obtained from raiding your home."

"So, as long as we unite with the generals from the nine sides and colleagues in the DPRK and China, we can take advantage of the urgent shortage of Liao pay and the Jianlu army to raise troops again, ask for money and food from the court, and force Your Majesty to use all the proceeds from the confiscation of homes as Liao pay. Your Majesty no longer has the ability to train troops!"

"Even if the proceeds from confiscating houses are too much, enough to provide a year's salary, we can still take the opportunity to report more disasters and rebellions in various places. In short, we will try our best to make the emperor use up the proceeds from confiscating houses, and finally let these proceeds from confiscating houses return to our hands. "

Hou Xun said.

After hearing this, Wang Ji was very satisfied: "It makes sense! Forcing the emperor to allocate internal funds to pay for disaster relief and use up the proceeds from confiscating his house, let's see how he can train his troops again?!"

After Wang Ji said that, he asked: "But what if the emperor doesn't dial it?"

"How can the emperor ignore the life and death of soldiers and civilians? Once the border troops in various towns are forced to mutiny and the refugees cause chaos, this is no joke."

Hou Xun sneered.

Wang Ji said "Yeah" and also smiled: "In this way, if the emperor is forced to allocate the proceeds from the confiscation of the house for military pay and disaster relief, it will be just right to dispose of what should be destroyed and misappropriate what should be misappropriated!"

"Exactly! It's best to ask for more, so that the emperor not only has no money, but even finds out that he owes money to the soldiers and civilians of the world. In this way, let's see how he dares to think about training troops."

Hou Xun replied.

Wang Jidao: "His strategy is very clever!"

"He has already written to the generals in Liao and the governors of various places, and soon there will be express delivery from the governors of Liaodong and other places."

Hou Xun said, "We will see how the princes and others can facilitate this matter and force the emperor to allocate internal funds for national affairs!"

Wang Jidao: "Don't worry, I have my own plan to deal with it."

…

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry have all submitted inscriptions asking the imperial court to allocate funds."

On this day, when Han Xu, who had become the chief assistant and was on duty in Xiyuan, received the question book from the fourth department and prepared the draft, he felt that the matter was not simple, so he did not draft it without authorization, but came to Tianqi's Qinzheng Palace presented the four title books to the emperor.

The so-called title version refers to the memorial version in the name of the official government, not in the name of the official personally.

After Tianqi read the question books, he threw the four question books to the ground on the spot.
