"There are several important military and political matters that your Military Aircraft Department must handle immediately. They must be completed within two days!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent, looked at Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia and others, and said in a cold tone.

"First, screen the arsenal and clear the officials to see how many of the weapons are usable. If you listen clearly, you can take them out and send them to the army, and they can be used on the battlefield!

Secondly, I sent people to the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of Industry to conduct inspections and register all usable firearms and ordnance. I also separately pulled out the gunpowder makers and musket makers. It was of great use to me.

Third, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, an order was issued to the nobles, officials and gentry in the capital, and each government ordered fifty men to become monks. Those who failed to pass the examination and exceeded ten would be convicted!

Fourth, in the name of the Military Aircraft Department, we issued an order to the Censor’s Office of the Five Cities and the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities to declare martial law in the capital from now on.

On the side of the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities, we have increased our troops to patrol every area in the capital. They are responsible for guarding the territory. If there is any turmoil in the capital, we will convict the Censor of the Patrol of the Five Cities and the Military and Horse Division Officer of the Five Cities!"

"I'm waiting for the order!"

Sun Chengzong, Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Zhou Yanru all had different expressions. After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's decree, they immediately accepted it with their hands in hand.

In times of turmoil, mercy should be used. Mercy will not solve the problem.

Before controlling the situation in the DPRK, Emperor Chongzhen would not rashly appear in person. This would violate the emperor's authority and etiquette. He would use the current situation to force Sun Chengzong and others to do things and make them understand the privileges of the Military Aircraft Department.

After repelling the invading Jianlu, Emperor Chongzhen would not dismantle the military aircraft department specially set up due to the situation. It would become his base from now on.

"Someone is coming!"

Seeing Sun Chengzong and others starting to get busy, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly.

"My slave is here."

Li Fengxiang, who was waiting outside the main hall, quickly walked into the hall, raised his hands to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Go, send someone to pass on my oral instructions, and ask the British Duke Zhang Weixian to come to the palace to see me immediately!" Emperor Chongzhen said without even thinking about it, with a cold expression.

"This slave accepts the order!"

Li Fengxiang immediately bowed his hands and walked quickly out of the hall, preparing to send his confidants to the British Duke's Mansion to deliver the emperor's oral instructions.

When the Military Aircraft Department was established, Emperor Chongzhen made a three-part stipulation that non-important members of the Military Aircraft Department were not allowed to enter the main hall of the Military Aircraft Department unless ordered to do so.

Even if they were the Chief of Ceremonies, except for Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, the other eunuchs could only wait outside the hall. The reason why Pang Tianshou could come in with him just now was because he had permission from Emperor Chongzhen.

After Emperor Chongzhen issued an oral edict, Sun Chengzong and others who were busy nearby, after hearing this, their movements visibly paused for a moment, and then recovered their demeanor, suppressing the surprise in their hearts, and then busy themselves with their own affairs.

Several military counselors who were temporarily transferred to the side were even more cautious in their assistance and did not dare to slack off at all. At this moment, everyone can feel the anger radiating from the emperor.

Ignoring the busy Sun Chengzong and others, Emperor Chongzhen walked towards the place where the map was hung. Looking at the situation in front of him, he frowned slightly and thought about how to win this battle.

"Wang Shangshu, you will be in charge of the screening of the arsenal and the Cleaning Department. You are in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War. If you coordinate with the Ministry of War to do a good job in this matter, there will be no problem."

"Li Shilang, please go to the Ministry of Industry and clarify the matter with the Arms Bureau. Now our Military Aircraft Department is short of manpower, so we must hurry up."

"Shilang Zhou, I have issued a draft order to the nobles, officials and gentry of the capital and the military aircraft offices. I will leave it to you to take charge. You must do a good job in the assessment, and you must not slack off in the slightest."

"I am responsible for issuing transfer orders to the Censor's Office of the Five Cities and the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities. We need to send more people to communicate with each other about the matters we are in charge of, and we must do a good job in these important tasks."

While Emperor Chongzhen was meditating, Sun Chengzong, a veteran of Liaodong's administration, stepped into his role and assigned tasks to Wang Qia, Li Banghua, and Zhou Yanru.

Under the current situation, everyone had no other ideas. With the emperor watching in front of them, they did not dare to slack off at all. They nodded one after another, and then bowed to Emperor Chongzhen who was deep in thought, and then left the main hall of the military aircraft.

Go and handle the matters in charge.

The Military Aircraft Department was still in its infancy, and the military aircraft counselors under its jurisdiction were short of manpower. Many matters had to be handled personally by ministers like Sun Chengzong and Wang Qia.

But this was also what Emperor Chongzhen intended.

Ask Sun Chengzong and the others to take advantage of the current situation, before it gets too bad, to familiarize themselves with their own environment and understand the authority of the Military Aircraft Department. This will no longer be a problem when the Military Aircraft Department is operational.

"Your Majesty, the British Lord wants to see you!"

After about a while of tea, Li Fengxiang's voice sounded outside the main hall, which called Emperor Chongzhen out of his meditation.

Looking at the empty main hall, he was a little surprised at first, his brows furrowed slightly, and then he understood, smiled, and shook his head slightly.

I almost misunderstood them about what I did intentionally.

"Xuan."

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down and said calmly, then walked towards the main seat, sat down, and saw an old man in a python suit walking respectfully into the hall.

Is he Zhang Weixian?

During the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, when the political situation was at its most turbulent, politicians stood up to stabilize the situation and reap benefits.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Weixian, pays homage to your Majesty!"

Walking up to Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Weixian bowed his hands.

"No need to be polite, just give me a seat and watch tea."

Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent, looked at Li Fengxiang waiting outside the hall, and said.

After receiving the order, Li Fengxiang hurriedly directed the accompanying eunuchs to move seats and make tea. After all the work, Zhang Weixian was slightly uneasy and sat down halfway, ready to listen to Emperor Chongzhen's instructions.

"Mr. British, what do you think of the current invasion by the Japanese invaders?"

After observing Zhang Weixian's actions for a moment, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Did you know that the invading Jianlu troops have already breached the Xifengkou Pass?"

boom!

When Zhang Weixian heard this, he was horrified, with a look of shock on his face and his hands trembling slightly. Apparently he did not expect that the Jianlu who invaded the Ming Dynasty actually breached Xifengkou.

"Your Majesty, building a captive army and destroying Xifengkou will be detrimental to our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhang Weixian hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said: "For the current plan, we must have the Ministry of War issue an order as soon as possible to guard Guan Jinning's army and send reinforcements back!"

What a joke!

Da'ankou, Longjing Pass and other places were conquered by the Jianlu troops, and now Xifengkou has also been conquered. So Zunhua and Santunying are completely exposed to the front of the Jianlu troops.

Although Zhang Weixian was not in the court, he was still in charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Office and led the errands of the Beijing camp, so he was relatively clear about the defense of the capital.

"Right now, the Military Aircraft Department has issued instructions to handle these matters."
Chapter completed!
