Why didn't Li Zicheng order the blow-up of Beijing Gunpowder Depot?

The reason is very simple, no one dares.

These days, there are no delay devices. In addition, Li Zicheng is in a hurry to leave Beijing, and his subordinates have no time to get enough leads to ensure that they can escape the explosion in time. In this way, who dares to light the powder warehouse?

"The Gunpowder Bureau must recover as soon as possible. This month is probably not possible. Starting from next month, the output of medicine will be restored to the level of the Chongzhen period. In the past, gunpowder craftsmen in the Ming army or the Han army in Manchu were sent to the Gunpowder Bureau. The original official position was the first level of Jin, and the salary of those without official positions increased by 50%, so the family members could be placed."

In the field of gunpowder production, Lu Si was a layman who did not interfere much. Seeing that the eunuch Wang was quite good at producing medicine, he said it well, so he asked him to serve as the eunuch of the Admiral Gunpowder Bureau first. He also asked the eunuch Wang to issue a list of craftsmen and related officials who knew what he knew and the production of firearms and medicines, and later ordered people to find and send them from the prisoners and residents in Beijing.

He also said to the craftsmen who left behind: "In the future, you will be here to make weapons and produce medicine for Dashun. Other requirements of my ruling king may not be able to satisfy you, but I can guarantee that as long as you work hard, you and your family can eat, drink, dress and live well."

In my previous life, Lu Si's favorite saying was: "Thank you, relatives and friends for participating. I have nothing to say. Just one sentence, please eat, drink, and play anyway!"

Gifts are light and affection is heavy, but words are short but real.

The same effect is given to these professionals. As long as they are willing to work hard, Lu Si will definitely make them have no worries about food and clothing, and will improve the social status of these professionals. For example, no longer set up craftsmen, those with excellent performance can be awarded officials and treat other classes of Dashun equally. Even among these craftsmen, those who can upgrade the weapons and equipment of Dashun, Lu Si will not sting in rewards for second- and third-rank officials.

If you want to create a lathe steam machine, the government affairs department will not be able to repay the work.

In the future, the Dashun government, including local governments, will definitely have a large number of non-imperial officials from the imperial examination, which Lu Si has decided long ago.

First, introduce a basic foundation that is loyal to Dashun into the regime system; second, give all talented people under the regime of Dashun to display their talents; third, improve the efficiency of the regime system, be more pragmatic and professional.

That is, it is transforming from a civilian government to a professional government.

If it were during the Taiping period, the Time Traveler Emperor would have many difficulties to carry out such a major change. If it succeeded, it might die in a lifetime, and the politics would end. But now this chaos is not yet settled, it is the best time for Lu Si to implement his own political philosophy.

Because, he, the Dashun Supervisor, is strong enough.

Because, this Dashun central government has a great "grassroots" approach.

As long as Lu Wenzong dares to break the authority and not play tricks of fooling the people, many "mud legs" will definitely dare to innovate.

"I came in a hurry and didn't prepare anything. I hope everyone doesn't think it's too small."

The empty mouth and white teeth were not Lu Si's style. He immediately asked the boxes of silver ingots brought by his nephew, Sun Yiliang, to carry over and order the eunuch to distribute them to everyone, each of whom received two ingots (about ten taels).

Everyone in the Gunpowder Bureau thanked him so much that they praised the governor.

Lu Si also called the accompanying commander Xia's army, the first town of the Huai Army, specially dispatched a battalion of troops to guard the Gunpowder Bureau. No one can enter unless they hold the pass.

"In addition to the Gunpowder Bureau, the workshops related to the ordnance in Beijing, whether from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Works, or any government office, will all be merged into the same place. The original ordnance manufacturing personnel of our Shunjun have also been incorporated into the realization of unified leadership, unified systems, and unified discipline. I think it might be called the Central Equipment Supervision Bureau, which is the position of admiral,"

Lu Si thought about it and found that there were three people who were familiar with firearms, one was Hong Bao and Yang Xiang from Fujian, and the other was Zheng Sihua from Xiao Yuanying.

However, Hong Bao is now the commander of the Artillery Town, and the artillery is about to form a second town. It would be useless to ask the artillery commander to get the equipment and supervise the construction bureau.

Yang Xiang is now the brigade commander in the first town and is a good infantry general. Lu Si is preparing to reorganize the Shun (Huai) Army after the establishment of the central government. Yang Xiang may serve as the town commander or deputy commander as an old brother, and it is not appropriate to place this general in the second line.

Zheng Sihua was the deputy of Zuo Pan An in the second town, and he couldn't even get out of his body.

After thinking about it, Lu Si thought of a person, Cai Shiying, the former general of the Eight Banners of the Han Army who surrendered to Shun in Baoding.

This former traitor, who ranked among the top ten generals of the Qing Dynasty Green Camp and had the highest official position, was very capable of both government affairs, military affairs, water management, supervision and water transportation, and canal transportation. He can be said to be an all-round talent. It is most appropriate to ask him to come to the Central Equipment Supervision Bureau.

He ordered Cai Shiying to take up the position of admiral of the Supervisor Bureau. Jiang Xueyi, the secretary of the camp, awarded the ten methods of supervising construction he wrote last night to Cai Shiying, and ordered him to merge the relevant institutions of the Supervisor Bureau as soon as possible and place personnel, and quickly implement them from food and accommodation to production.

He also ordered the Huaiyang Ordnance Manufacturing Office in Yangzhou to select some personnel to come to Beijing to work, including Shen Yingxing, whom Lu Si named him.

Lu Si came here just to show his attitude to his subordinates to attach importance to weapons and firearms. He definitely does not need to implement the specific details. At that time, he will only be inquired and evaluated.

Among the ten methods of supervising Cai Shiying, one of them was made of steel by the earth method, the other was about granular gunpowder, and the other was about soil and fertilizer.

In the field of steelmaking, there were related iron factory workshops in the Ming Dynasty. According to the general impression given by Lu Si, the steel output and purity will definitely be improved. In the future, whether it is used to make swords or gun barrels, it will be better than before.

This is the skill of sharpening a knife without delaying cutting wood.

The particulate gunpowder increases the power of gunpowder, and then leads to muskets, "Breaking King Bags", artillery, etc., which will greatly increase the lethality of the Shun munitions.

The soil and fertilizer are targeted at agriculture.

The current land yield per mu is not high, and the mature land is only 200 to 300 kilograms. The wasteland may not even be harvested, and the food problem is the fundamental problem of dynasties in history.

Lu Si had poor chemistry knowledge in his previous life, but he heard about soil fertilizer, such as fertilization after boiling feces, or fermenting.

No matter which era there is no shortage of smart people, Lu Si is still used to his ideas. He gave a general direction, and then provided resources and money for professionals to explore.

If he doesn't succeed in two years, if he doesn't succeed in two years, he will die in peace even if he doesn't succeed in two years.

After leaving the Gunpowder Bureau, Lu Si originally planned to go to the suburbs of the city and take a look. He had a deep talk with his fellow villagers and the people, talk about the good things about the Dashun Xin Dynasty, and check how many quilts there are at the people's homes and whether there is rice in the jar. If you have enough time, you will stay at the people's homes for one night and have close contact with the people.

The camp general Jia Hanfu came to report that it was Luanzhou Zuo Zheng who sent someone to report that he had initially reached the small Manchu court in Luanzhou City and agreed to the title of the small Tartar king Fulin's duke according to the intention of the King of Chuang.

"Daishan is sick. Even though Jirgalang is an old horse, he is still powerless. It seems that I will see the two empress dowagers in a few days."

Lu Si smiled and handed the Luanzhou official documents to Xia Dajun beside him. Xia Dajun took it, but he didn't read it.

He is illiterate.

But it is better than Tongtai's Chen Xiaozi. He can write his own name, unlike Chen Xiaozi who only knows how to draw three circles.

The circles were also amazing. Xia Dajun tried to imitate anyway, but no matter how he painted it, it didn't look like the circles of Chen Dazi.

"Is this over?"

Xia Dajun shook his head and asked Lu Si if he really wanted to grant the little Tartar emperor the Duke?

Lu Si smiled and said, "If they really want to surrender, we must not accept it. Just be a duke, it's no big deal. Originally, I was thinking that if Jier Harang and the others wanted to fight for it, it would be impossible to give it to a prince."

After saying that, he suddenly thought about it and turned around and ordered his nephew Sun Yiliang: "You will go to Xishan tomorrow."

Yoshiliang is unsolved.

Lu Si said: "See if there is a temple called Yuquan Temple in the West Mountain. Is there a monk named Yulin in the temple? If there is any, let people watch it, don't let him run away. If there is no, ask Gao to go and look for it."

"What are you looking for this monk?" Xia Dajun looked confused when he heard this.

"Find a master for Fulin."

Lu Si was preparing to fulfill his blessings and let him receive the initiation of Buddhism since he was a child.

Xia Dajun still didn't understand, but he was too lazy to ask. A little Tartar could not make any bubbles.

There is one thing that needs to be asked clearly. He and Lu Sinai are in the same hometown and have a relationship with each other. It may be inappropriate for others to ask about it, but he is not sure if he asks it.

"When will you pick up your dad?"

"Um?"

"You are about to ascend the throne and become emperor. Your father must not be named the Supreme Emperor?"

"ah?"

Lu Si was really stunned for a moment because he really didn't expect this level. He felt that his father might be the most relaxed person in history, even more relaxed than Liu Bang's father.

A Supreme Emperor lay down.

In the final analysis, it is because my son has given birth to a good birth.

Seeing Lu Si being stunned, Xia Dajun couldn't help but change his face: "What, do you really want to change your surname to Li?"

"My surname is Lu, why are you changing your surname to Li?" Lu Si was also puzzled.

"I heard from my subordinates that if you want to be emperor, if you ascend the throne with your original surname, Dashun will have to change the country name. But if you still use Dashun's national name, you may have to change your surname Li. Then I don't know what you think about Li Zi becoming the Taizu. Anyway, I think this cannot be done like this. The country we have worked hard to fight can't end up being the world with the surname Li, right?"

Xia Dajun has something to say.

Lu Si's face gradually became solemn. Yes, Dashun's surname is Li or Lu, it really needs to be resolved immediately.

He does not intend to change the country name Dashun.

But he definitely couldn't sacrifice to Li Zicheng in the Taimiao. At present, Li Zicheng's whereabouts have not been found, and the Shunyang government is about to be established. How to give Li Zicheng a posthumous title and temple name, and how Lu Shun treats Li Shun, it's really a tricky thing.

As Zuo Fu, Gu Junen should have thought of this issue for a long time, but he has not mentioned it for a long time. I think it is because this matter is too complicated and he needs to consider it himself.

The king of the regent was sincerely recruited the reign of the new king of Dashun from the society, and how to posthumously named his father-in-law Yongchang Emperor to solve the problem of Li Shun's inheritance of Lu Shun due to the etiquette and law.

Whoever donates more will have a reasonable opinion. He can be the Minister of the Dashunli Government and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace.
