I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In the end, only one of Zheng Zhibao's fleet escaped.

And Zheng Zhibao himself, not so lucky, was captured by the Dahua Navy.

On the other hand, those pirates who had not had time to leave the port were caught by Dahua, and almost no one escaped.

So far, the Penghu Islands have also been pacified, and Dahua has also established a county here.

The original pirate family members became the people of this county.

Those pirates, except for some leaders who were executed, others were pardoned.

Even if they were all guilty, they couldn't kill them all. Otherwise, those family members would not all hate Dahua, and it would be difficult to manage.

The death penalty is acquitted, and most of their property is confiscated.

Next, they have to farm honestly.

So far, the war in Taiwan is basically over.

Nanjing, in a house.

Several civil servants got together, and it was rare that they included people from multiple factions.

"Everyone, look at this."

The newly appointed Minister of Rites, Tang Ruowen, took out a secret booklet to circulate to everyone.

Tang Ruowen was a civil servant who started working with Wu Changqing in Suzhou. His ability was average, but his qualifications were very old.

Wu Changqing did not have a suitable candidate to be the Minister of Rites for the time being, so he let him do it first.

However, Tang Ruowen was also a traditional civil servant.

The so-called traditional civil servants look down on military generals, believe in the idea that the world needs to be governed by civil servants, and hope to restore the civil-military relationship during the Ming Dynasty.

The military generals in the middle and late Ming Dynasty had no status in front of the civil servants, and it was the favorite mode of their civil servants.

At the moment, Tang Ruowen summoned many civil servants to weaken the power of the generals and to seize power from the generals.

This secret book of his records the incident of Lu Guangzu's murder of the envoy of Nanming.

He keenly felt that this was the best entry point to seize power.

Through this incident, they can describe the generals as arrogant and domineering, deceived, arbitrary, and self-respecting.

No emperor likes the generals under his command to deceive the superior and the inferior, and to support the troops with self-respect, which means that those people are very likely to rebel, which means that they are not safe.

Therefore, as long as Wu Changqing can be suspicious and jealous of the generals, they can ask Wenchen to supervise the army.

On the surface, the supervisor only plays a supervisory role and does not have much real power.

However, in fact, as long as they have the power to supervise the army, those generals have to curry favor with their civil servants, or even depend on their civil servants.

After all, very few generals can be flawless, and when they lead troops, they will definitely encounter some problems.

If all these problems are reported by the supervisors, it will result in loss of office in the lightest case, and death penalty in the heavy case. No general can stand it.

The power of the Daming generals was gradually lost step by step.

"feasible."

Liu Dahua only said two words, but everyone knew what he meant.

When they saw this secret fold, everyone knew Tang Ruowen's plan.

"It is too unsafe for military power to be completely in the hands of military generals. We really need to supervise and control to avoid chaos."

Zhao Mingchong said.

"Let me say, I think it's better to delay for a while. Now His Majesty's mind is on construction, and he doesn't like some accidents to disrupt his construction plan.

It was brought up at this time, leading to a fierce struggle between civil and military, and I am afraid that it will make His Majesty angry. Therefore, I don't think you should be in a hurry. You have to wait until Your Majesty is in a particularly good mood, or when there is no major domestic matter to be dealt with, and then bring it up, the effect will be better.

Anyway, we have the evidence of the crime, they can't escape, let them jump for a while. If they continue to act like this, we will gather more evidence and have a better chance of success. "

Hong Chengchou spoke.

In fact, he is generally not involved in such things, and he is more interested in development and construction.

Of course, as a traditional civil official, he naturally leans towards the idea that civil officials can check and balance generals.

In his opinion, civil ministers are always more reliable than military generals, after all, civil ministers have to undergo the education of loyalty to the monarch.

In short, his identity determines his position, and it must be biased towards Wenchen.

Hong Chengchou's words caused everyone to fall into contemplation.

Having lived with Wu Changqing for a few years, these people have more or less understood Wu Changqing's temper, and know that Wu Changqing is very different from other emperors.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely strict with guards against generals and was extremely afraid. Whenever the generals behave a little out of the way, they will be dealt with first.

For example, during the Chongzhen period, Huang Taiji led his troops to bypass Mongolia and hit Beijing. Yuan Chonghuan came back to rescue with his own troops, and was executed by Chongzhen's order.

He didn't care whether Yuan Chonghuan was concerned about his own safety or not, and he didn't care how much loss it was to execute Yuan Chonghuan. In short, the generals who lead the troops will lead the troops to the city of Beijing without orders. It will not work, it is too dangerous.

Who knows whether they came to rescue or rebel.

But today's Wu Changqing is actually more indulgent towards generals.

Military generals have great autonomy when fighting on the front lines.

Just like Lu Guangzu and Li Lianfan who invaded Burma without authorization, they were not punished, and they were even promoted to rank for annihilating Nanming.

Taking into account Wu Changqing's attitude towards generals and development, the public

Everyone felt that there was some truth to what Hong Chengchou said.

It is natural for them to be able to sit in their current positions without lack of patience.

Therefore, even though a great opportunity is in front of them, they can hold back, wait for the opportunity, and wait for an opportunity to completely seize power.

"Right now, let's focus on the imperial examinations and the draft. Didn't your Majesty say the year before that that the draft will start in two years. At this time, Guotai Min'an is a good time for the draft."

Gu Yanwu said.

All officials hoped that Wu Changqing could spend more time on women and enjoyment, and not seize power.

Otherwise, their official experience is extremely poor.

Obviously as a cabinet minister and six ministers, he is unable to make decisions on some important matters.

Before emperors were rubber stamps, now they are more like rubber stamps.

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Gu said is very true. Today, His Majesty's children are still a little less. The royal family is naturally blessed with more children."

Another minister echoed Dao.

Now Wu Changqing has two sons and two daughters, which is certainly a lot for future generations.

But in this era, the number of these heirs is not even as good as that of ordinary people.

For an emperor, less so.

Of course, what the civil officials cared about was not how many children Wu Changqing had, but the time and energy Wu Changqing invested in having children.

"This, you can make the people below start to make a case, presumably this time Your Majesty should have no excuses."

Tang Ruowen said.
