I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

On the 6th, the envoy of King Lu asked to see him again and brought the latest reward.

Governor of Zhili, Wu Guogong.

Looking at this reward, Wu Changqing was a little surprised.

Wu Guogong is okay, anyway, the title of King Lu is not worth money, and the royal court has not paid any salary for the time being.

However, the governor of Zhili province is terrific. The governor is the chief executive of a place, who has an overview of military, economic, and administrative powers.

To put it simply, the governor is the chief official in Xinjiang, who can open his own government and legally own his own administrative team. As long as Wu Changqing accepts this award, he can appoint some officials and formulate taxes in a fair manner.

Of course, once the reward is accepted, in some places it will be subject to the imperial court. For example, the Ming court sent some officials over, and he might be able to evade their power, but on the surface they must recognize their legal status.

Wu Changqing was lost in thought, he was considering whether to accept King Lu's award.

Reason tells him that he should accept it, anyway, it is only on the surface to be a courtier to King Lu, and there is no need to go to Shaoxing and kneel down to thank you.

As long as you don't need to kneel down, everything else is easy to say.

If he refuses again, I am afraid that his ambition will be completely exposed. In the current situation, it is still too early. If he declares independence now, maybe Daming can join forces with Man Qing to attack him, this is definitely not a joke.

In the early period, the Manchu Dynasty entered the Pass and even Beijing had taken it, but Daming still tried to join forces with them to destroy Li Zicheng's Dashun army. In the end, the Manchu Dynasty occupied more and more territory, and Daming came to his senses, but unfortunately it was too late.

With Da Ming's various unrestricted brain damage operations, it is entirely possible to unite with the Qing army to eliminate Wu Changqing, who is trying to become independent.

In addition to this risk, there are also some people loyal to Daming among his subordinates.

Maybe these people can't shake Wu Changqing's foundation, but they can definitely disgust him in many places.

All things considered, accepting the reward for the time being is the best way.

Wu Changqing brought in several important generals, including Gu Yanwu and Li Shaobin, and told them that he planned to accept King Lu's canonization and asked their opinions.

Gu Yanwu actually prefers Wu Changqing to accept the canonization of Emperor Longwu, after all, the Longwu court is orthodox. But he also knew that this was impossible, and other generals who led troops could not agree.

Emperor Longwu only gave it to an earl, while King Lu gave it to a duke, and the gap was too big.

Moreover, in terms of practical benefits, it is better to accept King Lu. After all, their territory is bordered by King Lu, but they are hundreds of miles away from the Longwu imperial court in Fuzhou.

To be loyal to Emperor Longwu, he had to worry about being attacked by King Lu, and he had to send troops to defend him.

And if you choose to be loyal to King Lu, you might get some logistical support.

Therefore, Gu Yanwu did not object to it, and loyalty to King Lu was better than the unclear status of the rebel army. With the righteous status, doing things can be much more convenient.

As for how to resolve the contradiction between King Lu and Emperor Longwu in the future, this Gu Yanwu didn't think about it so much, and first regained the lost land in Nanjing and Beijing.

Gu Yanwu had no objection, and other generals naturally had no objection. Wu Changqing made a duke, and they might get a viscount or something.

That's a knighthood. Before changing to a title, they didn't even think that they could one day become a noble master.

In the past, they were at best small characters with hundreds of households, but now they all become generals, and they still hope to win the title. It can be said that the salted fish stand up.

The generals had no opinion, so Wu Changqing sent someone to reply to Qiu Zhaojin, saying that he was willing to accept the reward.

After receiving this news, the rock hanging in Qiu Zhaojin's heart finally fell.

He knew that King Lu attached great importance to Wu Changqing and repeatedly asked him to convince Wu Changqing to support King Lu.

However, Qiu Zhaojin has no status in Suzhou at all. It is difficult to meet Wu Changqing, so there is no chance to persuade him.

He could only find Liu Hansan, Li Shaobin and others to contact him, and then inquire about Wu Changqing's attitude. Apart from that, he really couldn't do anything.

But now, God had favored him anyway, and Wu Changqing inexplicably chose to agree.

In this way, no matter whether Qiu Zhaojin did any important work, the credit must be his anyway.

"Congratulations to Governor Wu, congratulations to Governor Wu, we will all be colleagues in the future, so please take care of me."

When Qiu Zhaojin read the decree, he was very witty and did not ask Wu Changqing and others to kneel down and listen to the decree. He was afraid that these big-head soldiers who didn't understand etiquette would make any accidents, so he simply read the edict and finished the matter.

Anyway, it is the troubled times, and everything is justified.

"The Zuo Dudu is polite, it's the only way to work together."

Wu Changqing smiled and the scene was harmonious.

Afterwards, Wu Changqing accepted the reward from King Lu and became the governor of Zhili and Wu Guogong, and the news was spread, and a special writer went to post a notice.

The people don't really care much about this. At most they will only say an oh, and then what should they do next.

Few people really know what official position the governor is and what it represents. Wu Guogong and the others knew that it was a symbol of nobility, and they would kneel down when they met Wu Changqing.

Those who are more concerned about this news are mainly businessmen, scholars and officials.

When Wu Changqing accepted the award, the merchants were more happy because the Ming court never collected taxes from merchants, and they could live a good life again.

If Wu Changqing dared to collect taxes indiscriminately, they could also start a relationship, and ask a big man in the court to restrain Wu Changqing's behavior.

Scholars are more polarized. Some people think that Wu Changqing should be loyal to the Longwu court in Fuzhou. This will help the unification of the Ming Dynasty and concentrate forces against the Qing Dynasty.

Some people feel that it doesn't matter, as long as they are loyal to Daming, it's not bad at all.

For those officials, they don't have to worry about not having an establishment. As long as Wu Changqing accepts the award, their official status can be recognized by the court.

The Chen family, Zihe ran all the way to Chen Yuyan to report. "Miss, General Wu was appointed by the court as governor of Zhili, and also named as Wu Guogong. From now on, you will be a noble wife. Maybe you will soon be named as the imperial wife. You can enter the palace and chat with the queens and concubines in the future Up."

In a big family, the maid, Zihe, knew a lot, and knew that Mrs. Mingming could often enter the palace.

"The Governor, he seems to be a high-ranking official of the second grade."

When Chen Yuyan said this, there was an uncontrollable smile on his face. For a high official like the Governor, how many people worked hard for a lifetime to reach that position.

As for Wu Changqing, he reached the pinnacle of his official position when he was a teenager. This kind of achievement is really amazing.
