The capital, the Imperial Palace.

Several days have passed since the Dragon Boat Festival, and the palace has been talking about the amazing actions of the king of Anguo that day.

However, it is said that in order to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in the palace that day, Zhu Ci specially held a willow shooting competition in the open space outside the Qianqing Palace, which is an ancient form of entertainment, which can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period.

Its entertainment method is extremely simple, plugging willow branches on the field, galloping horses and shooting them, and the winner can be rewarded.

The people who participated in the entertainment were all ministers, all for Emperor Bo to smile, but Zhu Ci seemed to be quite attentive, not only in person, but even changed into a strong suit on the same day.

At first, none of the little eunuchs with bows and arrows hit, Zhu Ci couldn't help but get up and go in person, and the celebrant Dahai didn't know what method he used, and Zhu Ci's archery skills actually hit both arrows.

Zhu Ci was happy, so he asked Liu Hong, the king of Anguo County, to show his hand, but where would Lao Liu do this, he naturally excused himself modestly.

However, the huge sea didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he added oil and vinegar to the rhetoric, which made Liu Hong gradually feel like he would do something if he didn't show his hand.

In the end, Liu Hongjian really didn't want to listen to the noise of this guy who had no birds, so he directly took out an AK, and the field suddenly smoked, and a shuttle of bullets not only knocked out the willow branches, but also led the tiger army outside.

Huge Hai was directly frightened stupid, Liu Hong gradually made this mess, and a bullet flew past his scalp, lifting off Huge Hai's hat.

He didn't want to pretend to be forced, but his strength didn't allow it, if he really shot with an arrow feather, he specified that he would shoot the arrow feather and not think about it.

After the willow shooting game, it was Zhu Ci's temporary target shooting competition, which began to practice marksmanship as early as half a month ago, but in the end it was defeated by Liu Hongji, who believed in the miracle of his might.

Then Liu Hong gradually became the talking point in the palace, and it was rumored that the king of Anguo County would play tricks, of course, there were also rumors that Liu Hong would not live long, after all, those who dared to make the emperor lose face in front of him were impatient.

Liu Hongjian laughed at this, as a straight man of steel and titanium alloy in later generations, the words flattery did not appear in Liu Hongji's dictionary at all.

Fortunately, Zhu Ci didn't take it seriously, after all, he knew in his heart that Brother Liu was indeed stronger than him, otherwise it would be impossible to help his father put down so many rebellions.

As soon as the Dragon Boat Festival ended, the high-spirited Zhu Ci made a final liquidation of the officials who opposed the reform of the imperial examination.

Scholar of Jianji Temple, Ni Yuanlu, secretary of the household department.

Meng Zhaoxiang, a scholar of the Middle Pole Temple and a scholar of the Criminal Department.

Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Wu Ganlai, the right attendant of the Ministry of Households, and the left and right of the Inspectorate are all Yushi Shi Bangzhao and Meng Zhenzhishi.

This is only a change in the cabinet and the six ministries and other important yamen officials, and the remaining low-level officials who are still stubborn, Zhu Ci will not punish them, and all of them will be dismissed.

In Liu Hongji's words, Xiao Zhu is the chairman of the board of directors and he is the CEO.

A good company is not short of employees, if you don't disobey and dismiss you, there are thousands of talents, but there is only one large state-controlled company, and you are afraid that no one will join the company

The seat of the cabinet is a radish and a pit, and some people want to enter, so naturally someone has to leave, such as Comrade Shi Kefa, who was the left deputy capital of the Inspectorate at the time, and the left and right finally made up for the lack of the cabinet.

The day after Ni Yuanlu, Fang Yuegong, Meng Zhaoxiang and several other old ministers came out of Dongchang Prison, Zhu Ci issued a decree on the appointment of important officials such as the cabinet and the six ministries.

Shi Kefa got his wish, and took the left deputy capital of the Inspectorate to move the history of the criminal department, and succeeded Meng Zhaoxiang into the cabinet as a scholar of the Central Pole Palace.

Cheng Zhi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, moved to the Ministry of Rites and replaced Ni Yuanlu into the cabinet as a scholar of Jianji Palace.

Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, succeeded Fan Jingwen and moved the Ministry of Labor.

The new team was not intended to be the victory of the old ministers of the East Palace, and most of the old team left by Emperor Chongzhen was forced to leave, and only Li Banghua was left in the cabinet.

Zhang Tianlu, a scholar of Dongge University, who made an impassioned speech at Li Banghua's mansion at the beginning, chose to compromise, and the collective silence of the East workers headed by Zhang Tianlu was tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle.

Ni Yuanlu, Fang Yuegong and others have become backstabbers, not to mention, even Li Banghua, who has forbearance, has been tied to the pillar of shame, an official fan who does not dare to die, is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is despised.

In fact, the only one who really understands Li Banghua is Liu Hongchuan, the initiator of the imperial examination reform, Liu Hongchuan, the king of Anguo County, Li Banghua, a stubborn old man, the reason why he endured humiliation and secretly survived may be to see in what direction he and Zhu Ci can take Daming.

But it didn't matter, the engines of the giant ship of the Ming Dynasty had already begun to roar, and then nothing could stop its pace.

In this way, the dust settled on the reform of the imperial examination system, and the proportion of economics, engineering, science, and military science was written into the Ming Law, and local governments began to supervise and handle the new county schools and government schools in accordance with the will of the imperial court.

After a great change of ups and downs, the imperial court finally returned to calm.

However, this calm only lasted for a few days, because of a piece of news brought back by Jin Yiwei from Nanyang, the court caused an uproar again.

When the Zheng bandit army passed through Luzon, it was flanked by the Dutch, the big and the small Francs, and was defeated

The Zheng family's flagship Anqing was sunk, and Zheng Zhilong himself was hit by a shell and died on the spot

According to the information brought by Jinyiwei, the fleet led by Zheng Zhilong was the main force of the Zheng family, and he intended to cross the South Seas to rush to Japan to quell the rebellion.

Nanyang, out of balance

When the news first reached the imperial court, it did not cause much repercussions among the officials, after all, most of the officials were not very interested in the affairs of the sea, and even a few officials happily congratulated Zhu Ci, saying that the Zheng bandits had been destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty was in trouble.

Only Zhu Ci frowned, because Liu Hongjian had told him that if the Zheng family could not support it in the South Seas, the next thing that the Daming Sea would face was the invasion of all Europa countries.

This is definitely not alarmist, the Beiyang Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty, are you ready to face this sudden change

Zhu Ci lazily listened to the noise of the group of corrupt Confucians in the court, and even though he retreated from the court, he urgently summoned all the members of the cabinet to discuss the matter, including Liu Hongchuan, the king of Anguo County and the scholar of Wuyingdian University.

Regarding the sudden defeat of the Zheng family, Liu Hongjian also had a sudden burst in his heart, especially the death of Zheng Zhilong.

To be honest, although Lao Zheng didn't know much about the overall situation, he was still very capable of fighting in naval warfare, and with the wooden ships of the old Zheng family, he was stunned to defeat the Dutch warships that were called the strongest navy in the mid-17th century by later generations.

Of course, the battle for Taiwan at this time had not yet taken place.

It's just that your old Zheng is also defeated, I originally thought that Zheng Zhilong would be able to hold out for at least another year and a half, so that the Beiyang Sailors could continue to cultivate and accumulate warships and train sailors.

But as soon as the old Zheng family fell, the Beiyang sailors were bound to be pushed to the cusp of the South Seas.

Because all the countries that want to covet Nanyang understand that if they want to dominate Nanyang, it is not enough to defeat the Zheng family, they must also pass the Ming court.

At present, the Beiyang Naval Division is staffing 32,000 people, of which 10,000 are recruits who were recruited only three months ago, and the only people who really have combat experience are the 10,000 people who have participated in the crusade against Anqing, the old nest of the Zheng family.

This is simply a problem for Liu Hong, you must know that it is not easy for the Beiyang Naval Division to get to this point, the Naval Division is no better than the army, and it needs more training and learning from the levy to the war.

This process is likely to take more than a year, and there are also battleships, which are not only expensive but also take a long time to build.

Even the Dutch Navy, which claims to be the strongest in the country and has the most warships, only dispatched 12 of its most advanced main warships during the Taiwan Naval War.

But for the Ming Dynasty, it is not that the national strength cannot be consumed, but the training cycle is too long, and once the Beiyang Naval Division loses, it will be difficult to make up for the hollowness of the Nanyang in a short time.

It is not easy for Daming Shui to start from scratch.

"Let's talk about it, why did the Zheng family take the risk of going to sea, and how was it defeated by the foreign countries, how many of the Zheng family's sailors in Sulu are there now?"

Liu Hong gradually rushed to the Jinyi Wei who was standing in a corner of the hall and asked three questions in a row.
