012 Team

Donglin was in power, and the court was full of people. Corrupt officials and officials had nowhere to hide. The officials were in peace and the government was happy.

What about illness?

Taichang was really a little amused when he heard these rumors.

It has to be said that Donglin is still very good at promoting publicity and hype. Whenever Donglin takes office, there are similar rumors in the court and the country.

These rumors must have been spread by the Donglin Party itself, and it is impossible for the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party to say such good things to them.

As for the many dynasties and the corrupt officials who have nowhere to hide, although it is a bit exaggerated, Donglin is not just bragging.

Because integrity and integrity are the image deliberately created by the Donglin Party, most Donglin Party members are indeed the Qingliu in the Qingliu.

For example, Yang Lian is the "first official in the world" and honesty is famous.

For example, Han Duo, honesty is also famous. He served as a Grand Secretary for four times and served as the Prime Minister twice.

For example, Gao Panlong, Zuo Guangdou and others are all upright people who hate evil and cannot rub any sand in their eyes.

However, Donglin's integrity and integrity were not what he always said, but purely for the country and the people. They deliberately created or maintained this image mainly to deal with the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party.

To put it bluntly, the main purpose is to fight for party struggles and to fight for power and profit.

Because most of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties seek profit, it is inevitable that some corrupt officials will emerge. The Donglin Party members maintain a clean and honest image. Isn’t this natural and natural way to deal with corrupt officials such as the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party? Isn’t this natural?

In fact, they are just talking about their own words for the country and the people. The ultimate goal is to seize control of the court and fight for power and profit. The Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party like to seize profits, and they like to fight for power. The nature is actually similar, but they just say it is high-sounding.

Many people still only use this problem, especially those young students or official rookies who are young as high school juren or even Jinshi, who are particularly enthusiastic about Donglin.

Being honest and honest, how noble it is to speak out.

Who doesn’t want to be a clean official praised by the world, who wants to be a corrupt official scolded by the world!

The reason why Fushe, which was once famous in history, was able to set off a trend during the Tianqi and Chongzhen periods was that he took over the banner of integrity and integrity and regarded himself as Donglin.

That guy, "The gathering of Spring and Autumn, his clothes are full of his clothes.", "When you go out to see a city, you know that there are people who will restore the society.", "When you raise your arms and shout, the sound shook the court and the country. There are tens of thousands of followers, and all the students in Jiangnan follow the horses!"

Alas, these young men.

Taichang looked at the list handed over by Donglin, but he thought in his mind that he had dealt with Donglin, what should he do after Qi Chuzhe Party and the eunuch Party?

There can be no officials in this world. Even if he has three heads and six arms, he cannot manage all the affairs of the world alone. At that time, someone will still help him govern the country!

It seems that we must select our team as soon as possible, otherwise where can we find so many people to replace Donglin, Qi, Chu, Zhejiang and eunuchs.

The list Donglin put him on this time is a shortlist of the Cabinet Grand Secretary, because the Cabinet generally requires four to five Grand Secretarys to help the emperor handle all government affairs properly. At the time, Wanli was too lazy to even the Cabinet Grand Secretary, so Fang Congzhe was the only one in his seven years, and he didn't know how many things he had delayed.

Speaking of this, when the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was first established, he was actually the emperor's government secretary, and his rank was only the fifth rank, which was inferior to the Minister of the Sixth Ministry and the Shaoqing of the Five Temples. It was not until the cabinet later that the Grand Secretary gradually became a prime minister.

However, the emperor has the final say in the appointment and removal of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet at this moment. Generally, the court officials recommend a large list and then the emperor can order a few from it.

Of course, the list provided by the Donglin Party must be full of Donglin Party members, and it is impossible for others to be on the list.

This was the critical moment when the Donglin Party dealt with Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party. Taichang was too lazy to bother with them. Anyway, he had the final say in the appointment and removal of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. If he wanted to change it, it would not be too late to change it when the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party dealt with it almost.

For example, Chongzhen in history has replaced more than 50 cabinet ministers. It shouldn’t be too much for him to replace four or five?

As for the candidates for the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet this time, Han Yu and Liu Yiyin affirmed it, because these two people have served as Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and have a high reputation among the Donglin Party. If they don’t order them, the Donglin Party will definitely make a fuss.

There were two more he directly called Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, who could be said to be rare capable officials in the Donglin Party, especially in terms of military capabilities. They had to use them to deal with the Jianshu later.

After selecting the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he ordered the Ministry of Personnel to send him a list of Jinshi and was about to start selecting his own team.

There is naturally a reason to select talents to form a team. Otherwise, why should we recruit these people? Where can we send them?

He soon thought of this reason, which was to reorganize the Zhan Shi Mansion and teach the prince.

The Zhanshi Mansion was originally an institution to teach the prince, and also had the function of assisting the prince in governing the government. Its scale was equivalent to a small court, with many positions. From the third-rank official, the left and right officials, the left and right senior officials, the left and right concubines, the left and right imperial ethics, the left and right central officials, etc., if all the officials were recruited, they would have a team in charge of the government in the future.

However, since the orthodox Emperor of Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty became a bit messy. No one paid attention to the functions of the Zhanshi Mansion, and no one was responsible for the teachings of the prince. The Zhanshi Mansion's official rank gradually became the Hanlin official transfer rank. In other words, when Hanlin officials need to be promoted, they usually first take up the positions of Zhanshi Mansion or Shao Zhanshi and other positions to raise the rank.

This may be the reason why most emperors after the orthodox Emperor of Yingzong like to make trouble. The prince did not have a special organization to teach him, so he naturally could not systematically learn the way of governing the country.

Of course, this is just an excuse that Taichang found to reorganize the Zhan Shi Mansion. No matter why the emperor in front of him likes to make trouble, the Zhan Shi Mansion must be reorganized anyway.

As for the team he wants to recruit, he is naturally the best person to understand technology, that is, the kind of talents who develop muskets and artillery, or even ships and trains.

Because this is the trend of historical development, as long as science and technology develop to a certain level, it will crush Jiannu. On the contrary, if science and technology are not developed, one day they will be bullied by the powerful ships and cannons.

This is an irreversible trend. Whoever develops first will stand at the forefront, and those who do not develop science and technology will sooner or later be overwhelmed by the tide.

The Ming Dynasty was originally proudly at the forefront. As early as more than two hundred years ago, when the Ming Dynasty was established, the Ming army equipped a large number of firearms and its shipbuilding technology was the best in the world. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty became the supreme country of the Celestial Empire and the four barbarians surrendered.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty has not made any progress in technology over the past two hundred years. In terms of firearms, it has learned to cast a Folang machine cannon, and the shipbuilding technology has been even more regressing for many years.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, because scholars do not want to learn these things, and if they rely solely on craftsmen's inheritance, word of mouth can easily be lost.

Nowadays, there is another bad name for the attainment of science and technology, which is the strange technique, which has a very sarcastic taste. Scholars usually sneer at it.

Because scholars are all aiming at taking the imperial examinations, it is almost rare to waste their time on it. He searched through the list of Jinshi who retired in the Chaohe Dynasty and found only three.

The first is Xu Guangqi, a famous scientist in history. It is said that the first astronomical telescope in my country's history was made by Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi still has profound attainments in agronomy. The "Complete Book of Agricultural Affairs" he compiled is the most important classic in agronomy.

By chance, Xu Guangqi happened to have a job as a young master of the Zhanshi Mansion and wrote a book in the Hanlin Academy. Taichang directly promoted him to Zhanshi Mansion and even if the leader of the Zhanshi Mansion is there, he has it.

Another one is Bi Maokang, a famous weapon expert in history. It is said that Bi Maokang designed all the drawings of the flintlock rifle, but unfortunately, it was destroyed before it was put into production.

Such a weapon expert is really rare, and Taichang directly recruited him as a young secretary.

Another one is Wang Zheng, a famous mechanical expert in history. No one pays attention to machinery in this era. Wang Zheng seems to have studied loneliness, and it is quite unsatisfactory to be in the officialdom.

However, it would be different when it came to Taichang, a man. Taichang also promoted him to the fourth-rank Young Secretary, which allowed him to be promoted to four or five levels in a row.

Of course, this solemn formation team cannot only recruit only three people. Taichang thought about it and then thought about it based on the historical knowledge in his mind, but finally decided to recruit two juren, Song Yingxing and Sun Yuanhua, as well as two talents with both civil and military skills, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng.

Needless to say, Song Yingxing, the "Heavenly Works of the Technique" he compiled was world-famous, and Sun Yuanhua was also a rare artillery expert. Although both of them had only the reputation of Juren, Taichang still awarded them a sixth-rank official palace chief.

As for Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, these two fierce men were rare commanders. Although they did not have any strange skills, they would still be useful in fighting the world in the future. Taichang directly awarded them the fifth-ranked Grand Secretary of Chunfang.
