Mao Yuanyi was a little surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show anything on the surface, so he hurriedly responded.

After Emperor Chongzhen sent them away, before he rested, he heard a report from the chamberlain, saying that Nan Juyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, had asked for an audience.

Isn't it possible to have a candidate for the Ordnance Bureau? Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, so he issued an order to summon him.

Sure enough, as he expected, after Nan Juyi saw the ceremony, he presented a recital, and at the same time announced: "According to the innovation of the Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau set by His Majesty, after thinking about it, there is a suitable candidate to recommend, but the grade of this Ordnance Bureau...... Grade......"

Emperor Chongzhen had just taken the book from the hand of the chamberlain, and when he heard Nan Juyi stammering and hesitating, he couldn't help but look up at him first and said, "How is the grade?" ”

When Nan Juyi heard this, he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and looked back at Emperor Chongzhen and said, "The grade is lower!" ”

"Oh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a hint of amusement, neither vetoed nor agreed, and first lowered his head and looked at the chapter in his hand.

As soon as he finished reading this recital, he understood why Nan Juyi would say that the five-grade grade set by the director of the Ordnance Bureau was low.

It turned out that in this movement, Nan Juyi analyzed that in order to compete with the Ordnance Bureau, in addition to the quality must be passed, it also emphasizes that the weapons of the Ordnance Bureau must also reduce the cost, and it is best to have its own unique weapons, so as to compare the Ordnance Bureau.

And to do this, he believes that the director of the Ordnance Bureau must be proficient in the arts. Therefore, he thought of a man, or more accurately, of two brothers who were gifted in firearms, which was recognized by the DPRK and China.

Therefore, he wanted to recommend the two brothers to be the director of the Ordnance Bureau. But the problem is that the official rank of the two brothers has long exceeded the fifth grade. If they are allowed to become the director of the Ordnance Bureau, isn't this a degrading official!

Emperor Chongzhen re-read the resume on the appendix of Nanjuyi, he tended to recommend the younger one, called Bi Maokang, the twenty-sixth year of Wanli Jinshi, now fifty-nine years old, served as the political envoy of Yingtianfu, a high-ranking official of the third grade, and one of the nine secretaries of the Ming Dynasty.

In the practice of the Ming Dynasty, the appointment of important ministers must be publicly recommended by Jiuqing and the governors and governors of other provinces, which is the court push. Major national events and important matters that cannot be decided by various ministries and departments alone must be voted on by the Jiuqing, which is a court discussion. In the case of large-scale prison lawsuits that cannot be decided by the three legal divisions, the prison will be determined by a meeting of Jiuqing, which is a court bow or garden trial. Together with the Ming Cabinet, it constituted the center of administrative power and the core of decision-making in the Ming Dynasty. However, Ying Tianfu's general envoy actually has no real power, which is equivalent to pension.

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, then looked at Nan Juyi, and said with a smile: "Weapons are really important weapons of the country, and it doesn't matter if you attach importance to them, but the position of the director of the Ordnance Bureau has a lot to know." And the first term of the Ordnance Bureau's innovation, there is no precedent to be examined, this Bi Maokang is old and may be competent? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Bi Tong's political envoy has rich experience, far from being comparable to ordinary hairy guys, and the minister thinks that he is actually the first choice of the director of the Ordnance Bureau!" Nan Juyi insisted.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't say anything more, nodded and said: "In this way, how about moving Bi Maokang to be the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry of Yingtianfu and the director of the Jingshi Ordnance Bureau?" ”

In this way, the rank of the head of the Ordnance Bureau can remain the same. It can also solve the problem that Bi Maokang's grade is too high, Nan Juyi listened to it, and immediately nodded in agreement, no opinion.

Then this matter passed like this, Emperor Chongzhen watched Nan Juyi go to the cabinet, and couldn't help but think of the war situation. This War Bureau is under the jurisdiction of internal supervision, and if it competes with the Weapons Bureau, it can't be too weak. When necessary, you have to intervene yourself.

When he was worried about the war situation, Huang Taiji, who was still in Shenyang, received an 800-mile urgent report from Dai Shan, Amin and others, and when he heard that Lu Xiangsheng was transferred to the governor of Denglai, he also personally led the troops to ambush Dajin's grain transportation team, and annihilated a thousand troops twice before and after. Seeing that the urgent report said that more than 800 Jurchen people had died in battle, I couldn't help but feel very distressed.

At this moment, he once again felt the inconvenience caused by the absence of Jin Shang. If Fan Yongdou and other Jin merchants were still there, he would be able to know about these personnel transfers of the Ming Kingdom Jingshi as soon as possible.

When he was still in the land of Gyeonggi, Huang Taiji had a taboo against Lu Xiangsheng. He knew that after that war, as long as Lu Xiangsheng did not die, from the fact that he was a civil official and had made great contributions, it could be inferred that he would definitely be promoted. It's just that he didn't expect that he was directly promoted to the governor of Denglai.

This is a sharp knife behind Daikin, and you must always beware of stabbing Daijin in the back. In the past, it was difficult to get rid of Mao Wenlong, so that this knife was no longer useful. Unexpectedly, this time, there was a more powerful operator.

Huang Taiji once again carefully looked at the description of the two ambushes of the grain transport team, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this moment, the guards came to report that Hanchen Fan Wencheng asked to see him.

Just as I thought of him, he came! Huang Taiji thought so, so he asked the guards to quickly bring people in.

"Slave Fan Wencheng, knock on the master of the Great Khan!" As soon as Fan Wencheng entered the hall, he threw off his horseshoe sleeves, showed a respectful face, and knelt on the ground skillfully to salute.

Huang Taiji didn't show much worry, as usual, he waved his hand and said kindly: "Fan Qing's body!" ”

Fan Wencheng listened, got up according to his words, and then said: "Master, the slave just thought of a plan that can further weaken the Ming Kingdom and strengthen my Dajin strength!" ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? As soon as Huang Taiji heard this, he pressed what he was worried about, and wanted to hear what kind of good way this military advisor could give, which could further weaken the Ming Kingdom and strengthen the strength of Jin!

I only heard Fan Wencheng talk eloquently: "Master, the Ming Kingdom is also full of natural disasters, Fan Yongdou has told him before, indicating that there have been many civil uprisings in Shaanxi. Among these people, there are disaster victims and border soldiers. When the Ming army exterminated one place, it would rise again in another......"

Huang Taiji nodded when he heard this, he had heard about this before, but he didn't think much about it, and when he heard Fan Wencheng talk about it, he couldn't help but be a little curious, how could this weaken the Ming Kingdom and strengthen my Dajin strength?

The servant asked carefully, those thieves are not fixed, and often wander to avoid the official army. And when they wandered from place to place, they looted the whole area and coerced the good people of the local area to follow the thieves. In this way, as long as the thieves pass by, there will be no peace in the area, and the thieves will become more powerful. ”

When Fan Wencheng said this, he looked at Huang Taiji's eyes, and said: "The slave thinks that I should help those thieves with great gold, so that they are no longer limited to Shaanxi." In this way, the thieves within the Ming Kingdom are running around, and more places will be plagued, and the Ming Kingdom will definitely be anxious about this, and it is necessary to increase military spending, allocate troops to encircle and suppress, and also have to relieve the victims, which is a move to weaken the Ming Kingdom! ”

Huang Taiji nodded again and again when he heard this, this method is good, but ...... He immediately frowned and said, "But Dajin is too far away from Qindi, what can I do?" ”
