The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 127
Looking at the new firecracker in his hand, this is the first time Zhu Yuanzhang has come into contact with the concept of 'small'.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking about firearms was 'big'.

What to do if the artillery power is not enough.

Then build bigger artillery, use more gunpowder, and the natural power will come up.

Zhu Yuanzhang was able to win the world, thanks to the power of firearms.

Especially for the Mongolian and Yuan cavalry, although it is a remnant force, Zhu Yuanzhang's army is also dominated by the peasant army.

The relationship between repeated battles and victories lies in the suppression of cavalry by artillery.

A large number of artillery poured down in turn, and the damage caused by the huge sound splash can greatly disturb the horses of the cavalry, thus annihilating the enemy in one fell swoop.

The gunpowder department's research on firearms has only been going in this direction according to Zhu Yuanzhang's thinking.

The structure of the firecracker is exactly the structure of the artillery, just for more convenient portability.

But this matchlock gun, especially after the explanation by the eunuch of the Gunpowder Department, made Zhu Yuanzhang realize that if this matchlock gun can really be made, it may completely replace the existence of crossbowmen.

The keen sense of war let Zhu Yuanzhang know the importance of matchlock guns.

"Pass down our decree, instructing all craftsmen to make this matchlock gun for us within the shortest number of days." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered in a deep voice.

"The minister obeys the order."

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly understood why Dasun always wanted to fight this and that.

Because the current Zhu Yuanzhang also has such impulsiveness.

Such a sharp weapon, if it really has the power that Dasun said.

What enemy army can stop it?

There are cannons for siege and arquebus guns for field battles. Zhu Yuanzhang has already felt that when these arquebus guns appear on the battlefield, they will bring a devastating blow to the enemy.

The Palace of the King of Qin in the capital.

Zhu Xi is painting in the yard, looking at the small pond in front of him.

Since Deng's death, Zhu Xi experienced the initial grief, as if he was a completely different person.

He even started to cultivate himself.

No matter what, he is the second son of the emperor after all, and he knows in his heart that as long as he waits quietly, there will be a day when he will appear.

Even just yesterday, the emperor sent an order to choose another concubine for himself.

As for the Concubine Wang of Zhu Xing, in fact, there is no relationship between the two of them.

Due to his young age, the Wang family did not join the army of his elder brother Wang Kuakuo Timur of Henan, that is, Wang Baobao.

After the Ming army occupied Henan, she became a citizen of the Ming Dynasty involuntarily.

The failure of Wang Baobao's surrender made Zhu Yuanzhang respect Baobao's character even more.

So later, Zhu Yuanzhang made the decision: he married Baobao's younger sister, Wang, to his second son, King Zhu of Qin.

In September of the fourth year of Hongwu, Wang Baobao's younger brother was canonized as Princess Qin.

Wang has a staunch personality, maintains his political opposition position, and resolutely suppresses and resists this marriage.

But in front of the iron-blooded Zhu Yuanzhang, it doesn't make any sense. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a monk and beggar, regards human life as nothing, and the founding heroes can wantonly massacre, let alone Wang.

As for the King of Qin, Zhu Yu, he was obviously not satisfied with Wang's, and there may also be aesthetic problems. After all, Wang's appearance may not be very high in the eyes of Central Plains people.

So there is no need to talk about this relationship.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about these, but he didn't expect that Deng Yu's daughter, Deng Shi, who was arranged later, was a femme fatale.

So this time, I plan to arrange for the second child Zhu Xi to come over with a virtuous and virtuous concubine.

After Zhu Xi was sad, he didn't have any opinions. After all, he grew up in the military camp, and it's easier to see life and death apart.

Sometimes there are even some small expectations, hoping that the father can arrange a good-looking concubine.

In terms of status, King Qin Zhu Xi has already reached the top level of the entire Ming Dynasty.

In fact, now that the eldest brother Zhu Biao has passed away and his son is young, Zhu Xi is the most qualified to inherit the throne.

But obviously, Zhu Xi may have some ideas about the throne, but the degree of desire is not too high.

Just when Zhu Xing and Tao Yi were feeling emotional, the housekeeper came to report: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Jin is coming to the palace."

"Third brother? Why is he coming to me? Isn't he afraid of being scolded by the emperor?"

Zhu Xi was stunned for a moment, and ink dripped on the almost perfect painting inadvertently.

When he came back to his senses, Zhu Xi didn't care about it, and said to the steward, "Please come in, third brother."

Soon, Jin Wang Zhu Yan entered through the gate of Yeyuan.

"Second brother, you are more comfortable here." After Zhu Chen came in, he laughed and said to Zhu Chen.

Obviously the relationship between the two is not bad.

Zhu Xun was born two years earlier than Zhu Xun. Unlike Zhu Di, they were both born to the same mother. This concept is completely different.

"Okay, third brother, don't laugh at me. It's not like you don't know about my mess here. Why are you here today, but what's the matter?" Zhu Xi asked, feeling much more comfortable when he saw his younger brother.

"It's okay, so I can't come and see my second brother." Zhu Yan asked back.

"Come on, my father shut me up tightly, you dare to risk being scolded by my father to see me." Zhu Xi said disdainfully.

Of the three brothers, only the eldest brother Zhu Biao dared to talk back to his father, and the other younger brothers, even his father glaring at him, could scare their calves into weakness.

Hearing the second elder brother talking about his father, Zhu Yan was immediately speechless.

Although in the second elder brother's mansion, there must be no imperial father's Jinyiwei, but the fear of the imperial father was engraved in his bones since he was a child.

Zhu Yan was not teasing either, and walked towards the pavilion with Zhu Yan.

In the gazebo, the two brothers sat facing each other, and the servants also made tea and brought it up. Under Zhu Xi's signal, all the servants in the yard retreated.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhu Xi asked directly.

"Second brother has heard about the recent incident about Xiaoling." Zhu Yan also said directly.

Zhu Xi frowned: "Is it about the eldest nephew?"

Although Zhu Xun was locked up, it didn't mean he was ignorant of the news from the outside world. Besides, almost everyone in the capital knew about it, and of course Zhu Xun knew about it.

Zhu Yan nodded, and then said: "On the banks of the Qinhuai River, there is a place called Ping'an Tea House, which is very famous for breakfast. Second brother should know about it."

Hearing this, Zhu Xi's mouth twitched, and he replied: "I know."

I don't know, my concubine wanted to eat the cakes from this teahouse, so she asked the housekeeper to find someone.

No one was found, but the jade pendant of the emperor came, and was thrown by Mrs. Deng.

I was almost beaten to death by my father in the Huagai Palace.

Hearing this, Zhu Wei said quietly, "Second brother, you know the owner of this teahouse, who is his name, and what he looks like."

Hearing this, Zhu Xi said in confusion, "Who else is it? Of course it's my eldest nephew."

Zhu Bing paused and said, "Second brother knows?"

"I don't know." Zhu Xi was suddenly embarrassed. If he hadn't 'kissed' his eldest nephew, he might have been discounted by his father.

Thinking of how furious his father was when he hated his father, Zhu Xi couldn't help shaking.

"Well, since the second brother knows, then I won't say more. Father summoned Lan Yu back. If I guess right, it should be a preparation for the eldest nephew to be named grandson."

"After all, you know the relationship between Sapphire and sister-in-law."

"Now that there is no one at Yuelu Timur's side, my father really wants to let people pass by, so I thought this is the second brother's chance." Zhu Yan said.

Zhu Chen was originally intelligent, so he immediately understood the meaning of his third younger brother Zhu Yan when he heard the words, and asked, "You mean, this matter fell on my eldest nephew?"

Zhu Yan nodded and said: "That's right, as long as the elder nephew speaks out a few words, I think the second brother will be able to get rid of the pain of confinement."

"The situation on Yuelu Timur's side, I think the second brother is also aware of it, but it's just an easy-to-get credit."

"With this credit, at least the emperor's side has a step down."

"Furthermore, in the future, the great nephew might still be in charge of the Great Ming Empire. Now that the eldest nephew has lost his memory and doesn't recognize you and me, he needs to get to know each other again."
