How did the Ming Dynasty go to its destruction? Some say it was destroyed in the hands of Wanli and Tianqi, some say it was destroyed in the hands of Wei Zhongxian, some say it was destroyed in the hands of Chongzhen, and some say it was destroyed in the hands of the Donglin Party. Zhu Cijiu really doesn't know who it was destroyed in the hands of who it was destroyed. It seems that Wanli and Tianqi are dead, and Wei Zhongxian has been dealt with by him, and Chongzhen has no Chongzhen anymore. He has been Chongzheng. Until now, the Ming Dynasty seems to have no sign of a country destruction!

Now the root cause of the Ming Dynasty's destruction seems to be the Donglin Party. How could this Donglin Party lead to the decline of the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Cijiu really couldn't understand it. Sun Chengzong was the boss of the Donglin Party, Han Kuang was even a veteran of the Donglin Party. Even Bi Maokang and Qiao Yunsheng were both Donglin Party members. No matter how you look at these people, they are examples of integrity and role models of purity! If the Donglin Party members are like this, then it is impossible not to say that the country is destroyed.

Are the Donglin Party members really pure? Zhu Cijiu will immediately understand this question.

............

The eunuchs were destroyed and the whole world celebrated together. The Ming Dynasty and the country spent the Spring Festival in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, and then the first year of Chongzheng (1628 AD). The history of Emperor Chongzheng Zhu Cijiu officially opened the first page.

Cao Chong was able to be a figure at the age of six, Ganluo was appointed as the prime minister at the age of twelve. Kong Rong was virtuous at the age of four, and Zhou Yu was dispatched to order the troops at the age of seven. There were many prodigy in Chinese history who had adult thinking in childhood. Zhu Cijiu was now six years old. He decided not to pretend to be young anymore. Time is too late. If he pretends to be over, maybe one day the Ming Dynasty will be over. A prodigy is a prodigy, which is better than a king who lost his country.

Just after the New Year, he left Qin Mingyue's warm embrace and embarked on the road to revitalizing the Ming Dynasty.

The first thing he did was to build a military factory. Of course, this military factory was not an ancient military factory that produced swords, but a quasi-modern military factory that produced guns and cannons, or modern military factories.

Do some small experiments in the palace and make a drilling machine model. It is no problem to produce a complete set of weapons. Therefore, to establish a military system, the first step is to build a quasi-modern military factory.

To build a factory, of course, you must first choose a location. Zhu Cijiu has actually already selected an address, that is Wang Gong Factory.

The first chapter of the previous volume mentioned the Apocalypse Big Bang: On the 6th day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the Wanggong Factory Gunpowder Depot in the southwest corner of Beijing, Mingjing.

Why use bizarre to describe this big explosion? Not to mention the "dead and injured are all naked" or the "five thousand kilograms of stone lions flying a few miles away". The most bizarre thing is that the capital city is located in the east from Shunchengmen Street to Xingbu Street in the north, and it is covered with powder within three or four miles, but Wang Gongchang, at the center of the explosion, "did not burn a small piece of wood, and there is no trace of burning fire." In other words, there is nothing wrong with Wang Gongchang in the center of the explosion, and there is no trace of smoke and fire.

Wanggong Factory was originally the place where the Ministry of Industry produced gunpowder. It built a military factory here, and the money for producing and transporting gunpowder was saved. Besides, the surrounding area was completely turned into powder within three or four miles. Because residents in the capital were afraid of another big explosion there, the surrounding area of ​​Wanggong Factory was always empty, and even demolition was spared.

It is almost impossible to find a vacant land of several square kilometers in the bustling capital. There are many inconveniences in building an arsenal outside the city, so Zhu Cijiong decided to be Wang Gong Factory.

Zhu Cijing, the head of the military factory, has also found it, that is Song Yingxing, the doctor of the Qingli Department of the Ministry of Works.

As mentioned earlier, Song Yingxing is just a juren. It is already the limit for the juren to be a senior official of the fifth rank in the Ming Dynasty. If you take it higher, the entire court and the country will probably not agree. There are many jinshi who are only at the sixth or seventh rank. If you want to mention a juren to the fourth rank, then don’t even mention this topic. If you ask, you will be drowned in saliva.

This position can no longer be raised, which means that Song Yingxing's position has been fixed, and it will be like this in his life. Such a stable person is probably only one, who is just in charge of the construction of the military factory and can be responsible for the whole time. It is really uneasy to hand it over to someone else Zhu Cijiu.

So Zhu Cijiong issued an imperial edict, ordering Song Yingxing to move the Ministry of Works to the Wanggong Factory, and at the same time allocated 10,000 taels of silver, asking Song Yingxing to transfer all the craftsmen in the capital to the Wanggong Factory, first build a three-meter-high wall, and encircle the radius of three or four miles. Then, he summoned Xu Guangqi and other confidants to start planning the factory layout.

Zhu Cijing was a process engineer in a large military factory in his previous life. He naturally knew which workshops should a military factory have. The problem was that of the previous life, the level of science and technology, and the production model were not the same as the Ming Dynasty. If he really copied the layout of the military factory in his previous life, he would have a water in his head.

So how should we plan this layout? In fact, it is not complicated. First of all, the roads in the factory area are three or four miles long and wide. Zhu Cijing simply drew it into a nine-cage grid style, with two horizontal and two vertical and four avenues directly marking the new factory into nine pieces. The center is Wang Gong Factory.

The accommodation and food of craftsmen must not be missing. There were no buses in the Ming Dynasty. If craftsmen were allowed to stay at home, the time of the day would basically be spent on the way to and from get off work, and this living area would have to occupy a piece.

We must also pay attention to security issues. We might as well ask Qin Gongming to take the elite troops of the One Thousand Shenji Camp to escort the army. This military stationed area occupied another piece.

There must be a special place for the experiment. The production of guns and cannons is all about it. It cannot be tested in the factory. This experimental area occupies another piece.

The first thing to do is to produce weapons is the first thing to do is to produce a small blast furnace for steelmaking. Of course, a small blast furnace cannot occupy much land, but after the scale is increased, a small blast furnace is definitely not enough, and this material area occupies another piece.

The weapons produced cannot be delivered to the army immediately, so there must be a place to preserve them, and this warehouse occupies another piece.

When processing metal products, it is not said that you have to have a rough appearance before processing. It is only a job that only gods can do when processing metal products. Ordinary people usually cast a rough look when processing things, and then process them. This sand casting takes up another piece.

In the Ming Dynasty, guns and cannons were mainly made by hand forging. In addition, many irregular parts could not be processed on machine tools, so manual forging accounted for another part.

In the end, there is only one piece left. No need to think about it. There is no place for the machine tool to be placed. This last piece is naturally a quasi-modern machine tool processing workshop.

After all, Zhu Cijing is not a real god reincarnation, and it is impossible for him to know everything. If he really understands it, he is the small blast furnace steelmaking and quasi-modern machine tool processing workshop. He does not know much about other sand casting, hand forging, gunpowder production, and he knows nothing about it.

Therefore, he cannot plan everything by himself, and a group of confidants must participate. A military factory covering an area of ​​several square kilometers can not be planned in one or two days, and everyone is not in a hurry. After all, the wall that is more than ten miles long cannot be built in one or two days.

Everyone expressed their opinions on the sketches, and the planning schemes were gradually perfect, and formal architectural drawings were gradually released.

As the plan gradually improved, Zhu Cijing became more and more excited. The Ming Dynasty's military-industrial system was about to take the most critical step. This step was taken, and the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation was expected.
