The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 5 Journey to the Capital
Zhu Ying knew that such means must have been arranged by Yao Guangxiao.

It's just that Zhu Ying really couldn't figure out why Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao would target her like this.

Judging from the current situation, besides snowflake salt, what else can I have in my hand?
Why do you keep staring at yourself?

He didn't feel any obvious malice, which made Zhu Ying somewhat confused, unable to analyze the purpose at all.

"Boss, is it true that the King of Yan has taken a fancy to you?" said Weng Sheng, a Mongolian man from earlier.

Zhu Ying was taken aback for a moment, and then gave the Mongolian man a hard look: "If you can't speak, talk less, no one will treat you as dumb."

Of course he understood the meaning of the Mongolian man's words, and this possibility was also something that Zhu Ying had thought about.

As Emperor Yongle, who was extolled by later generations, he definitely paid more attention to talents.

Zhu Ying never belittles herself. From another point of view, or from the point of view of others, Zhu Ying is a man of genius.

However, at the age of ten, in just ten years, he created such a large-scale chamber of commerce. Even if Zhu Ying's details were only discovered by Zhu Di at the tip of the iceberg, that would be extremely shocking.

From Zhu Di's point of view, this kind of talent naturally wants to take it for his own use, and Zhu Ying mainly wanders in the Western Regions and grasslands.

It is more important for Zhu Di to be familiar with the tribes and the situation of other small countries.

Once Zhu Ying is conquered, Zhu Di will have an unimaginable harvest for the various tribes on the grassland.

If he had met Zhu Di a few years earlier, even three years earlier, Zhu Ying might have considered following him.

But now, it's completely impossible.

Thinking of this, Zhu Ying began to think about how to leave Beiping City.

Judging from the current situation, although it is relatively difficult, if you really want to leave, there is still a way.

However, in order to avoid excessive losses, Zhu Ying must plan carefully, and time waits for no one, so he must act tonight.

Just as Zhu Ying was thinking deeply, someone came in to announce that Zhu Gaochi, the eldest prince of King Yan, had arrived.

"What is he doing here?"

Zhu Ying was a little puzzled, so she went out to greet her directly.

In the yard, a young fat man was waiting.

Although Zhu Gaochi is now fat, but as far as he is concerned, he still looks like a normal person, not so fat that he will exaggerate in the future.

After all, he was only 15 years old.

Seeing Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Ying felt a little pity.

This is obviously a kind of disease, and this kind of disease will be difficult to solve in later generations, let alone the current Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Ying." Zhu Gaochi was very happy to see Zhu Ying. Although he had not been in contact with Zhu Ying for a long time, he regarded Zhu Ying as a close friend.

"Why is the eldest prince here? Could it be that he misses me." Zhu Ying joked with a smile, and he still has a good impression of Zhu Gaochi, a fat man.

Zhu Gaochi likes to read Confucian books, but he doesn't study hard like ordinary people. He is also very interested in other studies.

As a later generation, Zhu Ying may not have professional depth, but there is no problem at all in talking about Dashan.

Zhu Gaochi soon discovered that Zhu Ying seemed to know a little about astronomy and geography, and all kinds of knowledge. Although it was a bit complicated, this extremely wide range of knowledge made him yearn for it.

Under Zhu Ying's deliberate contact, the two quickly became good friends who talked about everything.

"Of course I miss you, but it's mainly because of my father's intention to come here today. Tomorrow you will go to Nanjing with us."

"Father asked me to come over and see if there is anything you need to help with here." Zhu Gaochi said casually, and he was not polite, and found a chair in the main room to sit on.

Mainly standing for a long time, he gets tired easily.

Zhu Ying waved her hands to let the servants prepare tea, sat next to Zhu Gaochi, and asked inadvertently:
"Oh, King Yan's arrangement, what orders does King Yan have?"

"I didn't say anything, maybe I was afraid that you might be unhappy, so let me comfort you."

Zhu Gaochi said directly, without any taboo in his words.

Zhu Ying was speechless, he had already decided in his heart to leave, as a businessman, he knew Daming's current status as a businessman.

If he came to Nanjing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who came here could despise him.

He is living a chic life now, why should he go to the capital.

"I heard that the capital is very lively, so I have the opportunity to go and see it this time." Zhu Ying said perfunctorily.

When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his spirit suddenly cheered up, and he said:
"Everywhere is lively, the key is the source of my firearms, which is the military battle in the capital. I will tell my father when the time comes."

"Let's see if we have a chance to go inside and have a look. If you want to come to the capital, there must be a lot more styles of firearms."

Zhu Ying's eyes lit up when she heard this.

He has coveted Daming firearms for a long time, and now in the whole world, Daming's current firearms are number one.

According to later records, Zhu Di attached great importance to firearms.

But after Zhu Ying got in touch, he found that although Zhu Di also paid attention to it, he hadn't reached the point of in-depth research, or the degree of attention was very different from what he imagined.

To a large extent, Zhu Di paid more attention to personal force or military strategy.

In Zhu Di's eyes, firearms are just relatively easy-to-use weapons.

However, the current firearms really haven't reached a very strong concept.

Big firearms, the main direction of rapid development, is still dominated by cannons.

After all, the current gunpowder is still in powder form and has not formed particles. In terms of killing, the lethality of short guns is not that terrible.

However, after communicating with Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Yingcai discovered that he was the one who was most interested in firearms in the entire Yanwang Mansion.

The biggest common topic between the two is about firearms.

Hearing this, Zhu Ying's thoughts changed, and suddenly she didn't feel so resistant to going to the capital.

With Zhu Ying's current situation, it is too difficult to carry out advanced research and development of firearms.

Except for the statement of one sulfur, two nitrates and three charcoals, Zhu Ying remembered that as for the others, she didn't feel much.

As for the use of gunpowder, it was relatively widespread in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was meaningless at all.

Besides, most people in future generations, who will study this thing.

In addition to knowing a general direction of development, Zhu Ying really only understands a little bit, but there is nothing wrong with fooling Zhu Gaochi.

After thinking about it in her heart, Zhu Ying decided that this trip to the capital is still very necessary.

It would be even more perfect if we could go to the Military Bureau to observe it, and even abduct a few firearms craftsmen.

After chatting with Zhu Gaochi, he will go to see him off.

Uncle Zhang asked, "Boss, what are the arrangements for tonight?"

Zhu Ying thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Zhang, bring a dozen or so people who can speak Chinese well. Follow me to the capital tomorrow, and the others will go directly back to the Western Regions."

"Yes, Master."
