I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

In addition to Hong Chengchou, Wu Changqing also received another historical celebrity on this day, the first assistant of the cabinet during the Hongguang period, Ma Shiying.

In history, Ma Shiying also died in this year.

After the fall of the Hongguang Dynasty, Ma Shiying lived in the Zhejiang area. Later, he heard that Wu Yi was still fighting against the Qing Dynasty in Taihu Lake, so he joined Wu Yi's army.

From this point of view, he is quite loyal.

But now, Wu Yi has taken refuge with Wu Changqing early, and Ma Shiying's other good friend Ruan Dacheng is also working under Wu Changqing, so Ma Shiying came over after getting the news.

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng have a very close relationship and are considered real hardcore brothers.

In the past, Ruan Dacheng was demoted to Nanjing. He continued his relationship and wanted to come back. He finally got a good position, but because of the strong opposition of the Donglin Party, he could only give this position to his good buddy Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying, after supporting King Fu who came to power, immediately reciprocated, and promoted his good friend Ruan Dacheng to the Minister of War, and together they were embarrassed.

Although the two of them are not really good people, in terms of showing loyalty and kindness, the two of them are really good enough to say nothing, and they have always spared no effort to help each other.

In short, everyone is actually very complex, and it is impossible to define a person with such a simple label as good and bad.

This time, after Ruan Dacheng recommended Ma Shiying to Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing also gave him a minister of the household.

Starting as a servant, it all depends on his face as the chief assistant of the cabinet in the Hongguang court. When ordinary celebrities come to seek refuge, they all start from the official positions of the fifth rank and the fourth rank.

Ma Shiying is also very satisfied with the position of Shilang Tobe, at least superficially very satisfied.

Today is not the same as in the past. His former title of chief assistant in the cabinet is no longer valuable. In the court of King Lu, other people don't look down on him at all.

Otherwise, he would not have come all the way to work under Wu Changqing.

That night, Ma Shiying came to Ruan Dacheng's house to thank him.

When the two were happy, they screened the next person and chatted about political affairs.

"Yao Cao (Ma Shiying), when you work under General Wu, you need to remember one thing. You need to distinguish between General Wu and the court, and you must put General Wu's interests first."

Ruan Dacheng reminded him that he knew that his buddy was a royalist. If one accidentally put the interests of the Ming court ahead of the interests of Wu Jun, it would be very bad.

Although he will not lose his position immediately, he will definitely not be reused in the future, and he will not be able to enter the core hierarchy of power.

"What does it mean?"

Ma Shiying was shocked. He vaguely sensed what Ruan Dacheng meant, but he couldn't believe it.

"Yao Cao, what do you think about General Wu?"

Ruan Dacheng answered the question.

"There are dragons and phoenixes among people, young heroes, unbelievable. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard for me to imagine that he recaptured the Zhili area. His achievements at his age really make me ashamed."

Ma Shiying commented that this evaluation is already very high.

However, Ruan Dacheng smiled and said, "Yao Cao, you still underestimate General Wu. I didn't believe in the real dragon, the Zhu family was not born an emperor, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not a monk. Started, and finally achieved the career of the emperor.

But now, I believe that there is really a real dragon in this world, that is General Wu. Like Ming Taizu, he is the kind of person who combines great luck and great wisdom. "

Ruan Dacheng's words surprised Ma Shiying again. He did not expect Ruan Dacheng's evaluation of Wu Changqing to be so high that he even compared him to Zhu Yuanzhang.

This does not mean that Wu Changqing wants to rebel and become the emperor, and his elder brother still supports it.

"Maybe you won't believe me now, but as long as you stay in Nanjing for a while, you will be able to understand what I mean. He is really too smart and knows too much. An officer is often transferred, and his salary is paid directly. The means in the hands of the soldiers firmly control the military power.

Those well-structured firearms, as well as those magical perfumes and soaps, were also invented by him.

Moreover, it is enough to just invent these things. He even summed up a whole set of knowledge system, called it physical chemistry, and edited it into a book.

A boy of sixteen or seventeen, even if he is a prodigy who can read at the age of three, he has only read books for more than ten years. Where did he come from so much magical knowledge.

Except for the reincarnation of gods and the descending of stars, I can't find any other reasonable explanation. "

Originally, Ruan Dacheng was also an atheist, knowing that the so-called ghosts and gods were nonsense.

However, some things about Wu Changqing, he can no longer understand with common sense, so it can only be attributed to the gods.

"It's really weird, but maybe it's because he's talented and smart, and it's all right. It's not like there's no such gods. The theory of ghosts and gods is still too illusory after all."

Ma Shiying said.

"Well, I'm not arguing with you whether he is a reincarnation of an immortal. But one thing I can be sure of is that compared with other descendants of the Zhu family, he is definitely more like the real dragon emperor.

Also, I can see that he has this ambition too. Therefore, we need to correct our position and fight for another dragon's power, but don't have any illusions about the Zhu family dynasty. Ten Zhu Yihai and ten Zhu Yu keys tied together were not enough for him to fight.

You haven't seen his army, it's really an invincible hero. The Eight Banners are in front of them, vulnerable

Just like the disaster victims. You dare to imagine that with the help of tens of thousands of fire guns, he can beat hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the Qing Dynasty, causing the Qing army to generally fear the Wu army. In the south, one Liu Hansan can chase and beat Fang Guoan, and his military strength is not at the same level. "

Ruan Dacheng would only be so trusting with true good friends and brothers.

Of course, Ma Shiying also trusted Ruan Dacheng, and sighed slightly in his heart.

Instead, he wanted to assist the Zhu family and continue the Ming Dynasty, so that in the history books, he could also leave a perfect image of a loyal minister.

If relying on Wu Changqing to open up a new dynasty, it would be more or less suspicious of two ministers.

Of course, Ma Shiying also knew that the current Zhu Family Dynasty was already a dou who could not be supported, and there was no hope of continuing to be foolishly loyal.

Although it is difficult to maintain a perfect image of being attached to Wu Changqing, there is one thing that makes him tempted, that is, Wu Changqing is a Han Chinese.

As long as the world is still dominated by the Han people, it doesn't seem to matter that it is changed to be the emperor.

Anyway, since ancient times, no dynasty can last forever, and it is normal for dynasties to change. As long as it is not ruled by aliens, that is acceptable.

"Then I listened to my brother's words to see if I could fight a dragon's feat."

Ma Shiying said that once assisting King Fu to ascend to the throne was the most glorious moment in his life, and he became the first assistant of the cabinet, a real one person under ten million people.

And now, he wants to be brilliant again.
