I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Nanjing has been conquered, and the next most important thing for King Lu's regime is to move the capital and move to Nanjing.

However, this is not an outing, you can set off at will.

If you want to return to Nanjing, you need to do a lot of preparations.

Not to mention anything else, at the very least, it has to get Wu Changqing's permission and support.

If Wu Changqing didn't want them to go to Nanjing, then going to Nanjing would not be a sheep in the tiger's mouth.

Therefore, Zhu Yihai needs to give a reward first, send someone to explore the situation, and discuss the specific matters of moving the capital with Wu Changqing.

Only with the promise of allegiance from Wu Changqing could he leave.

Zhu Yihai is actually quite confident about whether he can return to Nanjing. At least, Wu Changqing certainly did not dare to refuse on the surface.

The identity of the emperor is Zhu Yihai's strongest weapon.

He represents orthodoxy, and the rebellion of a courtier is a rebellion.

Sometimes, the word 'orthodox' can do a lot.

For example, the previous Jiajing Emperor, when he was invited from a prince to the palace to be the emperor, did not have any cronies, and some had an orthodox identity.

But relying on this identity, Emperor Jiajing was able to use all kinds of power and tricks to completely grasp the power.

Zhu Yihai was also preparing to learn from Emperor Jiajing. He first went to Nanjing and gave Lai the orthodoxy.

As long as he is emperor, he can do many things.

For example, they canonized Wu Changqing's subordinates and divided Wu Changqing's troops. Or control the number of Wu Changqing's army and support other generals who are loyal to him.

There are many methods, but the actual operation is also difficult, it all depends on the ability of the emperor.

A charismatic emperor can easily gain the allegiance of some capable ministers. But if he is someone like Chongzhen who has no charisma, the courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty will fight against him.

Zhang Guowei and others had been preparing for two days, and news came again from Nanjing that Wu Changqing appointed Ruan Dacheng as a scholar of the Zhongji Temple.

For a time, Zhang Guowei and other civil servants were stunned.

The Grand Master of Zhongji Temple was only a fifth-rank official. Wu Changqing directly appointed the third-rank governor. Zhu Yihai did not object, and Zhang Guowei and others did not point fingers, for fear of making Wu Changqing unhappy.

However, Wu Changqing's appointment of Ruan Dacheng as a scholar of Zhongji Temple made Zhang Guowei and others unacceptable.

This official position is not only a fifth-rank official, but this official position belongs directly to the cabinet.

The power structure of the Ming Dynasty was a six-department cabinet system. The people in the cabinet were not high-ranking, but they were the decision-making level. All major national affairs were discussed and decided by the people in the cabinet.

It can be said that the cabinet is the core of power, while the six departments are in charge of various departments.

Wu Changqing appointed Ruan Dacheng as a cabinet minister, basically letting him and Gu Yanwu lead the civil service group together, and all major matters are made by them.

Ruan Dacheng's power in Nanjing was about equal to Zhang Guowei's power in Shaoxing, which was very large.

According to common sense, Wu Changqing has no power to form a cabinet. However, considering that Wu Changqing wanted to manage this area of ​​Nanzhili, it would definitely not work without an administrative system.

Therefore, in the past, when Wu Changqing formed a cabinet, the court also turned a blind eye.

Anyway, the current core task is to recover the homeland, and the chaos of the administrative system can be changed slowly in the future.

Wu Changqing formed a cabinet, Zhang Guowei and others had no opinion.

However, when Wu Changqing appointed Ruan Dacheng as a cabinet member, Zhang Guowei and others had their opinions, and their opinions were very great.

Because Ruan Dacheng and the Donglin Party have a deadly feud. If Ruan Dacheng is in power, how will they have a good life with the Donglin Party?

If he went to Nanjing, he would not be suppressed and tortured by Ruan Dacheng using various excuses.

Ruan Dacheng did this kind of thing last year.

"It's too much, it's too much, how could he just appoint the Grand Master of Zhongji Hall without notifying the court?"

The Donglin party members roared. Not long ago, they had just boasted that Wu Changqing was the pillar of Daming and the hope of Daming.

However, in a blink of an eye, they are now starting to pick on Wu Changqing's problems.

And Wu Changqing's current problems are numerous, privately appointing high-ranking officials of the court, privately opening the sea ban, privately changing the military system, privately changing the tax rate...

These issues, in the peaceful period of great unity, can be used as an excuse to chop Wu Changqing's head.

However, because it was a period of war and chaos, and because Wu Changqing had soldiers under his command, everyone swallowed their anger.

But because of Ruan Dacheng's coming to power, the Donglin party members couldn't bear it anymore.

Wu Changqing's appointment of Ruan Dacheng was even more abominable than rebellion for the Donglin Party.

Even if they rebel, they can still take refuge. Anyway, whether it is the emperor with the surname Zhu or the emperor with the surname Wu, they are all needed to govern the world.

However, Wu Changqing's appointment of Ruan Dacheng meant that he wanted to completely destroy their Donglin Party and dig their roots.

"What did Gu Yanwu do, doesn't he object?"

Song Zhipu angrily said that the reason why they would support Wu Changqing was largely because Gu Yanwu had mastered the civil service system under Wu Changqing.

And Gu Yanwu is a member of the Donglin party, and they are in the same group.

"Although Mr. Gu is called the first assistant, in front of Wu Changqing who holds the army in his hand, I am afraid there is not much resistance."

Zhang Guowei sighed.

Civil servants only have power in prosperous times, and in troubled times, they answer the old saying

, Hundreds of useless is a scholar.

Wenchen has no status in front of generals who have mastered military power.

"Then what should we do? If we let him be like this, should we go back to Nanjing? Ruan Dacheng is in Nanjing, will he let us go?"

Song Zhipu lost his mind in an instant, walked around in the hall, and even sat unsteadily.

For a time, there was silence in the hall, and everyone had no choice.

"No, we can't go to Nanjing. At least, we must not go back to Nanjing easily until we have negotiated with Wu Changqing. We must find a way to restrain Wu Changqing, otherwise going to Nanjing is too dangerous."

Zhang Guowei said.

"How to restrict it, relying on His Majesty's imperial decree?"

Song Zhipu sneered.

His tone was disrespectful, but the other ministers were not surprised.

After all, everyone knew in their hearts that the gold content of their Majesty was too low. His imperial decree also has a little effect around Shaoxing.

No, Fang Guoan could not be ordered in Shaoxing.

Thinking of this, everyone could only sigh. Troubled times, this is the real troubled times, and the emperor is no longer the Supreme Being. Anyone who has no strength can step on it.

Li Zicheng forced Chongzhen to death, and Man Qing killed Hongguang. The emperor was no longer sacred and could be ignored by anyone with strength.

Many ministers who have seen the situation clearly have already begun to ponder the way out.

This ship, Zhu Yihai, was obviously unreliable, so it would be better to go to the south of Emperor Longwu. After all, Emperor Longwu nominally controlled six or seven provinces and hundreds of thousands of troops.

Of course, some people are considering whether to completely break away from the Donglin Party and go to Wu Changqing.

After all, Wu Changqing now looks unstoppable and more promising than Emperor Longwu.

There were even some civilian officials who were not from the Donglin Party. At this time, they were thinking of leaving for Nanjing to join Wu Changqing and Ruan Dacheng. They had been unhappy with the Donglin Party for a long time.
