Chapter 30: The Knowledge of Being an Emperor

When Chongzhen moved into the Nanjing Palace that night, and after the night was quiet, he suddenly realized that he was not ready for what to be the emperor!

It’s not been a day or two to be an emperor. It’s seventeen years. It’s going to be a seventeen-year-old Tsinghua University in the future. Chongzhen was the emperor for 17 years, and only one failed lesson after one, and his successful experience was not good! In the end, he ended up hanging on the coal mountain. If he hadn’t traveled through time, this failed emperor would have made a final conclusion. He had been a cowardly emperor for 17 years, it would be too much of a failure to be an emperor!

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were the best-selling emperors. Under Zhu Di, they were in the prosperous era of Yongle, and their civil and military achievements were far away from the Han and Tang dynasties. However, Chongzhen studied deeply and found that from this ancestor Zhu Di, he found that all the talented emperors had the characteristics of robbers. For example, Qin Shihuang snatched the country of the six countries, Liu Bang snatched the achievements of the King of Chu, Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to seize Monan and Vietnam, Li Shimin snatched the throne of Jiancheng Prince, Li Longji launched a mutiny to seize the throne of the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang killed Han Liner and snatched the leader of the rebel army, and Zhu Di even snatched the throne from his nephew. It can be seen that without any courage to snatch, he could not achieve great achievements.

In my previous life, I was a sportsman, just a referee. When I was poor and talked about politics, I was like a politician in the world. I might have done better if I did it. Well, at least it wouldn’t be bad! But now I suddenly asked myself to be the emperor and found that the requirements for being the emperor were too high. I was very frustrated to find that I didn’t have the characteristics of a robber. Like Gong Daming, the director’s “borrowing salary” actually ended up being the weak. You see, this sticky thing you do is far from being a talented person!

Being an emperor is not that simple. Later literary novels, movies and TV series write about the emperor's life so corrupt, such as **3,000, etc. It turns out that the emperor's house is bigger and can play 3p. Don't say that the emperor in the court will be spitted by censors as long as it is a little ridiculous, and he can't afford to play even if he plays! Zhu Changluo, the son of Chongzhen, was emptied by beauty. The emperor's position was hung up in less than a month after he sat on the position. Li Shimin's good body could not withstand the wolves, but he died at the age of fifty. This *3,000 is not a blessing that anyone can enjoy, and it is just a poison that can't be done well.

In addition to this little bit of turbulence, the government affairs in the late Ming Dynasty were completely torturous. The outside was captured and the internal enemy was in constant natural disasters. The Donglin Party, the eunuch Party, and non-party members quarreled over quarrels in the court every day. The emperor really didn't know how to be the referee, and often both sides were not in a good position. Chongzhen defeated the eunuch Party, and the Donglin Party was proud, but found that there was no eunuch Party blocking him, and he was even more alone and even isolated. No wonder Tianqi wanted to do carpenters, and Wei Zhongxian's eunuch Party was rampant. At least Wei Zhongxian respected the emperor in everything, and those sour literati only knew to make things difficult for the emperor in everything!

Being an unlucky emperor is too far from being a wise emperor. An unlucky emperor can only hang himself to sacrifice his country; a wise emperor can be passed down through the ages! Chongzhen originally wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty, but he could not be a true emperor, but now he can only start over. To apply the clichés from later sports worlds, being an emperor has to "start from scratch".

It is worth pointing out that Chongzhen and Gong Daming have another similar characteristic, that is, they dare to take risks. You can understand it by just watching Chongzhen go all out to use troops against Liao. And Gong Daming's adventurous spirit in his bones when he participated in the "Hikers" group adventure is also deeply admired by the "Hikers". For the emperor, I don't know whether to add points or points. In the past seventeen years of Chongzhen, I have lost points, and I don't know if I will add points in the future!

The next day, Chongzhen met with a civil servant in Nanjing headed by Shi Kefa in Wenlou. Chongzhen sat on the imperial throne, and the ministers shouted long live, and the small court continued to open. Chongzhen went through a month of hardship, guarding the clouds and sunrise, and a minister was also in a state of headless flies. For some time, rumors were raging, as if the Ming Dynasty was in danger. Fortunately, the emperor sent an oral order two days ago, and only then did he know that Chongzhen had escaped, and the ministers turned to be very happy. After the ministers congratulated the emperor on returning to the palace, Shi Kefa raised the issue of how to establish the government affairs of Nanjing. The Ming Dynasty government, since Yongle moved its capital to Beijing, Beijing was the center of governance. Although there were six ministries in Nanjing, it was just a foil. The cabinet and the six ministries were trapped in Beijing. How to quickly establish a court team in Nanjing was indeed the top priority.

This issue of employment is indeed crucial. The Donglin Party is a headache group, and Ma Shiying is not a good thing. If you continue to argue in the court, it is best not to use any of these people. After thinking about it, who can you use it if you don’t need it? Since ancient times, if the emperor has laws, many capable ministers will emerge. If the emperor is stupid, even if he is a capable minister, he cannot use it. A good emperor is nothing more than setting standards and formulating systems. With this set of standards and systems, talents will not be worried.

Since the existing talents still need to be used, we will tentatively set up four major scholars in the cabinet: Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and the chief assistant is Shi Kefa. This Shi Kefa is at least honest and honest, but not arrogant, endures humiliation, and has no advantage in enduring humiliation. However, we don’t expect these people to give advice anyway, just expect them to do something practical. For example, tax collection still requires people to do, and gather people’s hearts. Among these four people, Jiang Yueguang is a little bit thorny, and the others are still obedient, that’s good!

Four cabinet scholars are left behind to discuss matters. What you want to seize is nothing more than military power, human rights, and financial power. In addition, you must let go of what you should do, and you cannot do everything yourself like Chongzhen did before.

These traditional ministers can only do traditional government affairs at present. As for running newspapers, issuing bonds, making weapons, etc., they have to find another wise man. Also, regarding military affairs, they have to personally arrest and train a group of imperial guards. In terms of military decision-making, we should refer to the establishment of the Military Affairs Office in the Qing Dynasty. First, we should handle major military affairs, and second, we should gradually divide the power of the cabinet, so that we can really do our best to make our fingers and command smoothly.

The ones who scratched their heads the most were the military towns. Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Wu Sangui, these five troops were not only the greatest force in their hands, but also the cancer of warlords. To eliminate the threat of being too big, it is possible to use the set of Chiang Kai-shek's division and disintegration in later generations. I don't know how long it will take for his Imperial Guard to form an army. Where is the money for raising troops? How long does it take to train? When can equipment be equipped as an army? And so on, it is a systematic project, and how can it be achieved overnight. There is also the problem of the navy. Now the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong is also a cancer. How can it become a navy that can be mastered by himself? What will the development route of the navy be? The more you think about these questions, the more you think about them, the more you are, the more you are.

There are so many things that need to be done, and I am afraid that a group of young and strong people will come to power.

This time, Qin Zhiyong and Wen Tiecheng followed in Nanjing, and Wen Tiecheng was still recovering from his injuries. Chongzhen was already explaining how Qin Zhiyong could establish an intelligence system along the way, and also gave a list of people on the list, and everyone on the list must find it.

Five days later, Wang Chengen and Fang Yizhi arrived in Nanjing, and they came to see Chongzhen together. Chongzhen was training two apprentices and a team of guards in the palace martial arts field. Chongzhen was a physical education teacher and naturally had great experience in queue training. He was free to perform martial arts training exercises. Because there were not many people and the emperor personally trained him, who dared not to cheer up? After a few days, he also looked a little. When the eunuch reported that Wang Chengen and Fang Yizhi came to meet the king, Chongzhen was overjoyed. With Fang Yizhi leading the development of weapons, Wang Chengen was naturally familiar with the road and progressed faster.

After Wang Chengen and Fang Yizhi worshipped, Chongzhen quickly helped him up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, come, sit down and talk."

Wang Chengen was still standing intuition. If a eunuch sat down in front of the emperor, it would be a rude thing. Wang Chengen would not want to set this precedent. Fang Yizhi naturally did not dare to sit down.

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, I happened to meet Lord Fang in Linqing. I took a boat south all the way. The empress on the ship discussed with Lord Fang, and immediately started making new military weapons after arriving in Nanjing. First, you can make a fire-pull grenade, which is ready-made; second, you can make a crossbow-type thunderbolt device that matches the fire-pull grenade; third, you can make a rear-mounted rifle. This rifle is exactly the same as the pistol design, but the bullets use an improved version of the bullets, so that there is no need to change the striker frequently, the caliber is reduced but the power is almost unabated. In this way, the first batch of new military weapons can be produced in about a month."

Chongzhen smiled and said, "This, I believe in Lord Fang, and Eunuch Wang and great talents. I will only take care of your achievements in a month. I will issue an order to appoint Lord Fang as the Minister of Works, responsible for the production of military weapons. I will ask for people to give them, and I will give them money."

After Fang Yizhi left, Wang Chengen reported the negotiations on the Tianjin Treaty one by one. When Chongzhen saw that Li Zicheng sent the two princes and Concubine Yuan back, and also sent them back to Wu Sangui's family, he laughed and said: This Li Zicheng is not stingy!

Next, Chongzhen talked about his next thoughts as an emperor:

"I consider Shi Kefa's team to be mainly used to calm people's hearts and to do a good job in tax collection and civil affairs before the Ming Dynasty. I will announce the wartime state, set up a military agency, recruit and train young and strong talents, and do another one to collect power. In addition, I am going to bring out a new army in person to equip the hot weapons you developed. After this team is roughly formed, the warlords' forces can be transformed. Also, I want to be the first to use it for the operation of Zheng Zhilong. I don't know what technical solutions you have to use to transform warships. If Li Zicheng can't stand the Qing army, if our navy is strong enough, we can also help him. In addition, the offensive and defense along the Yangtze River and the mobilization of troops will be greatly beneficial. What do you think?"

"I raised my hands to agree with the emperor's actions, and power came out of the gun! Both the army and the navy must firmly grasp the emperor's hands. With the help of me, it is not a big problem to initially complete standardized equipment in terms of hot weapons within half a year. However, there are many resources required, and the steel industry and the copper industry must keep up. By the way, when it comes to copper industry, Dexing open-pit copper mines must be mined as soon as possible."

"Ha, I just want to find an investment project to issue stocks, which starts with this Dexing Copper Mine. Haha!"

"I thought the emperor had to rule the world with half of the "Selected Mao" he had read. He never thought that the emperor would add half of the "Selected Deng". One is 'the power comes from the barrel of a gun' and the other is 'development is the hard truth'. This time, the world will definitely be invincible! Haha!"

On April 25, at the Great Wall of Xifengkou, the Qing soldiers avoided Shanhaiguan and passed through Mongolia. At the gap broken by the Great Wall of Xifengkou, they encountered the Dashun army guarding. The five thousand soldiers and horses of Dashun were wiped out under the impact of the 20,000 Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers entered the pass in a large scale and rushed straight to Zunhua.
