The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 269 Zhu Di Seeing Hope

"Those who don't know are innocent, get up."

Zhu Ying said.

He's not a bloody butcher, so he wouldn't let people die just in this situation.

On the contrary, these master masters are really treasures in his eyes.

In the current Ming Dynasty, there are no scientific researchers, and those who are proficient in carpentry and can read and write are really very rare.

The hundreds of master craftsmen in front of Zhu Ying can be said to represent the peak level of the entire Ming carpenter industry.

All of these people have the inheritance of carpenters. The last three generations of their ancestors were carpenters, and they have worked hard enough.

Don't underestimate carpenters. No matter which dynasty they are in, a carpenter with good craftsmanship will never worry about having nothing to eat, at least the level of food and clothing can be improved.

Whether it is weapons and armaments, or water conservancy projects, or the construction of bridges and cities, master carpenters are indispensable.

If you compare the future generations, there are hundreds of masters in front of you, almost equivalent to the status of academicians.

"Thank you, Your Highness! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Old Zhangtou didn't have the arrogance he had just now, he knelt on the ground trembling and kowtowed.

Only when Zhu Ying let her stand up again did she dare to stand up.

Even when she got up, she still bowed her body, not daring to look up at Zhu Ying.

"You don't have to be afraid. I came here this time just to see how the matchlock gun was made. Maybe you don't know that the design of the matchlock gun was proposed by Bengong."

"What I said just now is the key to the whole matchlock gun. In the future, the production must follow the method I said."

"On your side, it is made with a straight tube, but you must also fully understand the convenience of using the matchlock gun."

Zhu Ying said again.

When the old Zhangtou heard the words, even if he said no more, he nodded Lian Lian, indicating that he had written it down.

While Zhu Ying was speaking, the eunuch who followed beside him had already recorded everything that happened just now with pen and ink.

This is the instruction of His Royal Highness Changsun, which is equivalent to the rules of the entire Gunpowder Department.

After Zhu Ying finished speaking, she said to Zhao Xiangxi: "The current masters who make matchlock guns must still know a lot about matchlock guns, especially the problems that may be encountered in the process of using them."

"In the future, I will spare some time every few days to let them test the matchlock guns in their hands. Whether it is loading or firing, they must fully understand it, so that there will be no situation of talking on paper."

Zhao Xiangxi quickly replied: "Your servant complies. This is my negligence. In the future, I will strictly abide by His Highness's instructions in this respect."

Zhu Ying nodded, and picked up an ordinary matchlock gun on another console.

The overall scale design of the current matchlock guns is already very close to the guns of later generations.

There is also a three-point and one-line aiming method. The appearance of rifling improves the accuracy, making it easy for ordinary people to aim.

"At present, all the matchlock guns in the gunpowder treasury are equipped with enough matchlocks and fireballs, and then sent to Xuanjiawei's barracks. It is time for the matchlock guns to go to the battlefield."

After Zhu Ying inspected the Gunpowder Department, she said to Ye Yueqing.

Hearing this, Ye Yueqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Highness, Duke Liang has mentioned about matchlock guns many times before. I wonder if he will arrange for Duke Liang to go there this time."

After Zhu Ying remained silent for a while, he said: "Just send one over. The current arquebus guns are not enough. For the time being, equip the Xuanjiawei first."

"Follow the order."

The inner city of the capital, Zhan's Mansion.

It was as if the mansion had been swept by a storm, everywhere was fragmented, irregular, and there were ups and downs of mourning.

Not long ago, Sapphire just left.

Zhan Hui, 58, was lying on the bed unable to move, only feeling pain all over his body.

Of course, even if she was drunk, Lan Yu still had reservations about attacking Zhan Hui, otherwise she would have to add a white cloth.

"Sapphire! Sapphire! I must give you a copy. I want to impeach His Majesty. It is simply lawless. In broad daylight, I dared to openly beat the imperial court official."

"This is the capital, this is the emperor's feet, it's too hateful, too hateful, I'm so angry!!!"

"Cough cough cough!!!"

Zhan Hui was on the bed, let out a shrill growl, but just as he finished speaking, there was a violent cough, but he choked on himself.

"My lord, my lord, you have to recover from your injuries first, don't be so angry that your body is ruined, the loss outweighs the gain."

Seeing this, the butler next to him quickly comforted him.

Of course, the housekeeper's image is not very good, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen, his speech is a bit leaky, and his front teeth have been knocked out.

Seeing the butler's appearance, Zhan Hui became even more angry and scolded Lan Yuzhuzi.

After a long time, I lost my strength, so I turned my head and asked the steward, "But I have sent someone to report the situation on my side to His Majesty."

Hearing this, the butler had a bitter expression on his face, and said aggrievedly:
"Master, you don't know that Duke Liang has already sent people to quietly surround our mansion."

"The old servant wanted to spread the news about the situation in the mansion. When the servants went out with their front feet, they were beaten and carried back. Even the back door was guarded by an unknown number of people."

"Our news will not go out at all."

Hearing this, Zhan Hui almost spit out a mouthful of blood, his chest heaved violently, and said: "Lan Yuzhuzi, you are acting recklessly, this is the capital, this is the capital, how dare you treat me like this!"

"Look, so what if you stop the old man's mansion, don't send people out again, tell the servants, close the gate for the old man, and don't let anyone in."

"I don't believe this old man. In this capital, his Sapphire can cover the sky with one hand. When His Majesty asks this old man tomorrow morning, how will I look at Sapphire!"

Zhan Hui was angry in the mansion.

Lan Yu and the others had already returned to the restaurant, but after this incident, everyone was sober.

Even Sapphire felt tricky.

"General, if we do this, paper can't cover fire. Even if Shangshu Zhan can't go out today, if His Majesty asks about it tomorrow morning, what should we do?"

In the largest private room of the restaurant, Lan Yu and the others realized that they had caused a catastrophe.

Who is Zhan Hui?

If it was another Shangshu, the beating would be just beating, at most he would be punished.

But here with Zhan Hui, the situation is a little different.

However, the current Sapphire is still relatively calm. Hearing the words, he said: "What, I've been beaten, what else can I do."

"If His Highness blames it, I will be responsible for it alone. You don't need to worry too much. If there are Jin Yiwei interrogating at that time, they will say that it is my idea. You are just ordered by this general."

Hearing Lan Yu's words, the noisy private room immediately became quiet.

It has to be said that Lan Yu's remarks immediately moved everyone present.

Warriors, what they pay attention to is a word of righteousness.

But right away, some people can't stand it anymore.

"What is the general talking about? How can the general take care of such things alone? I used to be under the general's command, so if there is something to do, naturally I will take care of it first."

"Even if I was bestowed dead by His Majesty, my wife, children and descendants will ask the general to take care of them."

"Furthermore, this matter was originally caused by me, how can the general and many brothers suffer."

The person who spoke was Xie Xiong, who initiated this matter.

After Xie Xiong finished speaking, he stood up and said again: "General, there is no need to send people to surround Zhan Hui's mansion. I will go to the Jinyiwei mansion to surrender now."

Xie Xiong walked directly towards the gate, apparently having made up his mind.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing what to do.

"Stupid! Thank you, boy, stop for me!"

Sapphire scolded.

Xie Xiong stopped in his tracks, turned his head and said, "General, just let me go."

Lan Yu got up, walked to Xie Xiong's door a few steps, kicked him to the ground, and cursed: "You idiot, what are you? You are a small thousand household, and you can get along with the officials." Shang Shubi?"

"I still want to take care of it by myself. I don't think you have the qualifications, idiot."

"Could it be that you think that I can let you take care of this matter, and you don't have to think about it. What you do is to trap me in injustice!"

Sapphire said cursingly.

He knew very well in his heart that this matter could not be settled by throwing a few subordinates out. The most important thing was that that old boy Zhan Hui did it himself.

And that old boy will definitely point the finger at himself, and it is impossible to break away from the relationship.

These subordinates went to the top, but they suffered in vain.

"I am more or less a relative of the emperor, and I have a little bit of relationship with His Royal Highness, even if it is punishment, His Majesty will give His Royal Highness a little bit of disrespect."

"Zhan Hui is an old boy, I have always been against him, and everyone in the court knows this."

"Besides, as far as the present is concerned, no one knows why I suddenly brought someone to beat him. Presumably Zhan Hui must not want to understand."

"So you guys have made a note of this. If Jin Yiwei interrogates, they will cover their mouths tightly and say that they are following my orders, so they have no choice but to follow suit."

Sapphire asked again.

"General, this."

"Whatever, just do as the general tells you."

Everyone looked at each other, and finally said helplessly: "Obey."

Sapphire nodded, and explained: "Over Zhan Hui's mansion, don't relax, send someone to keep watching until tomorrow morning, and don't let anyone come out of that mansion."

"Taking advantage of this time, I have to let out a good breath of anger. Anyway, I have been beaten, so what else can I do."

"Also, send someone to find out where His Royal Highness Changsun is now. Such things must not be hidden, and His Royal Highness Changsun must first know."

Lan Yu knew very well that if she wanted to get through safely, she could only rely on His Highness the eldest grandson in the end.

On the southeast coast, Zhu Di stationed troops here, quietly waiting for the next spring to enter the Japanese kingdom.

The news that Zhu Ying was announced as grandson also reached Zhu Di.

When Zhu Yunqi was named grandson, Zhu Di had a lot of opinions and even dared to openly question him in court.

But this time when I received the news about Zhu Ying, I didn't say anything for a long time.

His mood at the moment is extremely complicated.

Zhu Ying is different from Zhu Yunwen, he is the real eldest grandson, the eldest brother's eldest son.

For the eldest brother Zhu Biao, Zhu Di has very deep feelings.

Perhaps as far as the entire palace is concerned, the eldest brother Zhu Biao is the only family member in his heart.

Even though he was thinking about the throne in his heart, but now that his eldest brother and eldest son are on the throne, he can only be convinced.

Since the day he received the news, Zhu Di seemed to have lost all energy and became extremely depressed.

Until three days ago, his general Zhang Yu persuaded him:
"His Royal Highness has a [-] army in his hands at the moment, and he will be the commander of Pingwa next year. Now the [-] army, the last general, has been investigated in the past few days, and they are all elite."

"If His Highness can win the support of a hundred thousand troops, and then win the victory of the Japanese kingdom, this reputation will naturally rise to another level."

Zhang Yu's words sounded very plain, but in Zhu Di's ears, he heard a different voice.

'If the army of [-] people will obey my orders.'

Thinking of this, Zhu Di's spirit became a little excited.

The current army is nominally under the control of Yan Wang Zhu Di, but the specific mobilization is the responsibility of the imperial court.

The so-called temperance means that Zhu Di has the power to punish disobedient generals after the imperial court's order comes.

What Zhu Di wants now is to truly control the [-] troops.

Especially the navy is the key.

From three days ago, Zhu Di invited many generals to drink in his big account every day, and make friends with each other.

For those thousands of households and commanders, Zhu Di is the king of Yan after all, and it is impossible for them to offend.

Now that King Yan shows his favor, most of them are eager.

Even if he was a little reluctant, he didn't dare to violate Zhu Di's invitation.

In addition, Zhu Di spends a lot of time every day in the army as a show.

For example, having meals with the soldiers, related to the meals and physical conditions of the soldiers, etc.

As the king of Yan, after Zhu Di put down his figure, he naturally attracted many soldiers to swear their allegiance to the death.

The effect is still very obvious.

Among the generals in charge of the large army, Zhu Di is also constantly increasing his favorability.

Obviously, this process will continue until the spring of next year.

Now on the coast, it is naturally impossible for Zhu Di to express his true thoughts to the generals, only when he is out of the sea and close to the country of Wa, that is the beginning of Zhu Di's performance.

At that time, some things will be considered urgent.

The Daming Imperial Palace, the Eastern Palace, the back hall of the Hall of Spring Harmony, and the Lu family's bedroom.

As the sun set and night fell, Zhu Yunqi also slowly opened his eyes.

Right now, he still has a vague feeling in his eyes.

Rubbing his eyes lightly, Zhu Yunwen looked around and realized that he was sleeping in his mother's room.

"The dream just now was so real."

Zhu Yunwen sighed, after falling asleep just now, he had a very long dream.

It was a dream without Big Brother.
