Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 194 Cao Wei gave birth to a son!

Cao Wei didn't say it out loud, but there was actually another reason, and that was the competition among the countries in the world! Daming needs a certain sense of crisis!

In the past, all countries in the world used cold weapons, and the methods of fighting were similar.

But today is different from the past. In the past military parades, the Ming Dynasty had already shown off its repeating muskets and artillery in front of the eyes of all countries.

Ming Dynasty did this to show off its force and consolidate its position as the world's most powerful country.

But other countries also knew that the Ming Dynasty had such terrifyingly powerful firearms.

In the days that follow, other countries in the world will develop weapons in this direction, no matter what means they use.

Independent research and development is difficult, but it is easier to follow the drawings.

Maybe it will be thirty years, maybe fifty years, one hundred years, two hundred years... Other countries will definitely be able to create repeating muskets and thunderbolt artillery.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was undoubtedly the most powerful country in the world. That was because the Ming Dynasty had Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Di, and Cao Wei.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is already old, and Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Di, and Cao Wei will also grow old one day...

The history of Ming Dynasty has changed, and the history of the world will also change.

One hundred or two hundred years from now, will there still be a wise king in the Ming Dynasty? Will there be wise ministers and capable ministers? No one can say for sure.

If calculated according to the standard of the strong national power of the Ming Dynasty at this time, the domestic stability of the Ming Dynasty can be safely guaranteed for three to five hundred years, because whether it is agriculture, industry, or military, the size of the Ming Dynasty has risen, and it is the first in the world!

With such a huge family background, as long as nothing unexpected happens and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is not a completely stupid emperor in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be able to live a good life for three to five hundred years, at least it will not fall into the fate of the Qing Qing who destroyed the country.

But things are always elusive. In just one hundred years, China has made a qualitative leap from one of the poorest countries to one of the five giants. It can be said to be the only one in the world. The huge "anomaly"!

Cao Wei could not guarantee whether such an "anomaly" would appear outside the Ming Dynasty in this life.

Therefore, he cannot let Ming live too comfortably. If Ming lives too comfortably, bad things will happen. Giving Ming a certain sense of crisis can keep the country dynamic.

Just like Chou Guo in later generations, no matter how strong he is, he does not dare to slow down his progress at all, because there are always people behind him putting pressure...

By the same token, the Ming Dynasty was too powerful at this time, and it was simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to other countries!

In Daming's eyes at this moment, other countries are as primitive as monkeys that have lost their hair and cannot feel any pressure at all.

Without pressure, people will relax, and the same is true for countries. But once the country relaxes, the problem will be big.

People need a little pressure so that they can work hard, and the country needs it too.

Of course Cao Wei knew that if he sent craftsmen to the Kingdom of Sardinia to make repeating muskets, the manufacturing technology of the repeating muskets would definitely be leaked.

The Kingdom of Sardinia has the repeating musket, which puts a little pressure on the Ming Dynasty, because the repeating musket is no longer exclusive to the Ming Dynasty.

Even as time goes by, more and more countries in the world will popularize repeating muskets.

However, Cao Wei only said that he would send craftsmen to make repeating muskets, and did not say that he would ask craftsmen to make divine thunder cannons in other countries.

With a single continuous musket and no thunderbolt artillery, neither the Kingdom of Sardinia nor the other countries could pose much of a threat to the Ming Dynasty. That little bit of pressure was just right.

Without technical support, it will take a long time for other countries to manufacture the Thunderbolt Cannon.

Although no one has said it out loud yet, thousands of years have passed and everyone understands this truth.

This will not only give Daming a certain sense of crisis, but will not really create a serious enemy for Daming, and it can still make money, so why not do it?

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if the Kingdom of Sardinia learns how to make repeating muskets, it will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty."

"My plan is all for the sake of Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Listening to Cao Wei's solemn words, Zhu Xiongying nodded slowly.

"Of course I trust the Grand Master. In this case, there is no need to send troops. Just do as the Grand Master says."

……

In September of the second year of Yongwu.

Emperor Zhu Xiongying of the Ming Dynasty sent two thousand craftsmen to the Kingdom of Sardinia to provide weapons manufacturing support.

After half a year of debugging and installing a relay tower, Daming and Dongyi Province finally successfully communicated through wireless telegraphs!

When the liaison personnel from Dongyi Province across the ocean sent the first string of codes back to Daming, the entire court was shocked!

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had stopped attending the morning court, came to the main hall that day.

Zhu Xiongying summoned the communications soldiers to translate the code in public.

When Cao Wei was developing a wireless telegraph machine, in order to facilitate communication, he created the pinyin, and then combined with the Morse code to recruit manpower and set up a communications battalion to specialize in communication.

The code sent back by Dongyi Province was also typed out by the communications soldiers brought back by Zhu Di using the keys of the wireless telegraph machine.

The code was very simple. It was translated by the Communications Corps using the pinyin combination method compiled by Cao Wei:

The Ming Dynasty will last forever!

After Zhu Yuanzhang saw these eight words, he laughed loudly,

"With the wireless telegraph machine, there will be nothing new in the world of Ming Dynasty, okay!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang exited the main hall, left the palace, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, and went straight to Cao Mansion.

Zhu Hanming was nine months pregnant and it was time to give birth...

When Zhu Yuanzhang arrived at Cao Mansion, Cao Wei was accompanying Zhu Hanming by the bedside.

As the delivery date approaches, Zhu Hanming often experiences labor pains. Now Cao Wei dares not leave even a step. Seeing Zhu Hanming in pain every day, he also suffers.

In the bedroom of Cao Mansion, Zhu Hanming's pretty face was all white, and small beads of sweat fell from time to time, which clearly showed the pain she was suffering.

But Zhu Hanming didn't say a word despite the bursts of pain in his abdomen, and gritted his teeth and persisted.

Cao Wei, who was sitting beside the bed, was also in pain. His face was ferocious and his teeth were bared.

"Madam, madam, please be gentle, be gentle..."

Cao Wei tilted his head and kept moving with Zhu Hanming's little hand.

Zhu Hanming didn't say a word, but she grabbed his hair every time and refused to let go!

Zhu Hanming has abdominal pain, and Cao Wei has a headache! He felt like his scalp was about to be ripped off by Zhu Hanming! Who knows where such a petite Zhu Hanming could get such strength.

"Master, Master, the Supreme Emperor is here." Xiaoyu from outside the door came into the room to report.

When Cao Wei heard this, he was about to break his head away from Zhu Hanming's hand.

"Madam, your father is here. I have to go and take a look. Let go! Let go..."

After a lot of effort, Cao Wei pulled out the head, but there were still a few strands of black hair between the fingers of Zhu Hanming's white hands.

"hiss……"

Cao Wei gritted his teeth, covered his head and rubbed it, then stood up and told Zhu Hanming again:

"Ma'am, please wait a moment. Your husband will come as soon as you go."

Perhaps because the labor pain had subsided, Zhu Hanming opened her eyes, looked at him and nodded, looked at the hair in her hand, and couldn't help but grin.

Cao Wei shook his head, turned around and walked out of the house.

When they arrived at the lobby, a maid had already served tea to Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was swallowing it hissingly. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and saw the "embarrassed" Cao Wei.

"Is Han Ming having labor pain again?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Cao Wei nodded helplessly, "I've had Dr. Chen come to see me several times, but to no avail. Dr. Chen said it's due to physical factors, and it varies from person to person."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, with a look of gloating in his eyes. When Queen Ma gave birth to Zhu Biao, wasn't he also tortured a lot? You all have to go through this!

"Yesterday, the communications tower received a signal from Dongyi Province."

"Really?!" Cao Wei's eyes widened.

Theory and practice are always two different things. From manufacturing to practical application, wireless telegraph machines have to go through experiments again and again.

Around Yingtianfu, communication between the two places that are relatively close to each other has been possible for a long time. However, Dongyi Province and Daming are too far apart, and it has never been possible to accurately capture and send and receive signals.

Today's successful communication between Daming and Dongyi Province marks that Daming is about to enter the "Information Age 1.0", which is of milestone significance!

As long as research and development continues, Ming's information age will step by step become 2.0, 3.0...

"What was sent over there?" Cao Wei was very curious.

"The Ming Dynasty will last forever, for thousands of years." Zhu Yuanzhang read out with great satisfaction.

Cao Wei was stunned. These eight words were really unexpected. During the cleaning process, he originally thought that Zhu Di would directly send a short essay back.

"You proposed before to send craftsmen to the Kingdom of Sardinia. Xiongying has already gathered the number of people and is just waiting for the ship to be dispatched before heading to Europe." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Regarding Cao Wei's proposition this time, Zhu Yuanzhang also thought for a long time before he figured it out. He couldn't figure it out but couldn't bear to ask Cao Wei. It was only later that he understood Cao Wei's intention.

Cao Wei can really stand in the contemporary era and see hundreds of years into the future at a glance! Even if Zhu Yuanzhang refuses to accept it!

While the two were talking, the maid Xiaoyu hurried over and shouted:

"Master, master, my wife is giving birth!"

Cao Weiteng stood up, and Zhu Yuanzhang also quickly stood up holding the chair.

"Quick! Go and call Po Wen!" Cao Wei ordered as he walked towards the house.

"I've sent someone to call," Xiaoyu said conscientiously and did a good job.

As soon as they arrived outside the house, another maid from the mansion came with Wen Po.

Po Wen opened the door and went in, blocking Cao Wei and Zhu Yuanzhang outside.

Immediately, Cao Wei heard the sound of Po Wen asking Zhu Hanming to exert force in the house, and the sound of Zhu Hanming gasping while gritting his teeth.

It was the first time for Cao Wei to have a child, and he had no experience at all, so he could only run around anxiously outside the house.

Zhu Yuanzhang was more experienced and sat down on the stone pillar on the railing outside the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not open his mouth to comfort Cao Wei. After this time, next time Zhu Hanming is giving birth, Cao Wei will not be so busy. He is an experienced person.

After a while, Concubine Han came over after hearing the news, and circled around the door with Cao Wei.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't stand the two of them anymore, waved his hands and said:

"You guys, stop shaking, everything will be fine."

After hearing this, Cao Wei and Concubine Han also sat down, but it was as if they had nails on their buttocks and they felt awkward no matter how they sat.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang said it was okay, Cao Wei couldn't help but worry, and had even prepared for the worst.

If you ask about protecting the big and small, then protect the big!

As soon as Cao Wei's thoughts crossed his mind, he heard a scream from Zhu Hanming in the room, followed by the cry of a baby.

This voice made Cao Wei's whole body numb and his whole body trembled! I got goosebumps all over my body!

This is... my own child!

Cao Wei couldn't wait to rush to the door. After a moment, the door opened with a "squeak~" sound.

At the door was Po Wen holding a baby in swaddling clothes. She smiled brightly and said to Cao Wei:

"Congratulations, Grand Master, you are a young master!"

Cao Wei almost burst into tears when he heard this.

But he only glanced at his crying son, and then went into the house to see Zhu Hanming.

At this time, Zhu Hanming was extremely weak, his face was like a piece of white paper, his lips were bloodless, and his spirit was very depressed.

Cao Wei took a step forward and leaned down beside the bed.

"Madam, did you hear that? It's a boy, we have a son!"

The weak Zhu Hanming seemed to be crying and laughing, but he probably had no strength at all.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han also came over, and the baby was already in Concubine Han's arms. As Concubine Han swayed gently, the baby's cries gradually became weaker.

Zhu Hanming stretched out her hand, Concubine Han put the swaddling clothes next to her, and Zhu Hanming saw the cub she had given birth to in ten months of pregnancy.

When she saw the baby in the swaddling clothes, which was as wrinkled as an old man, she said with loving eyes, "He is so ugly."

Cao Wei said from the side: "When he grows up, he will be as handsome as his father!"

"It will definitely happen..." Zhu Hanming murmured.

Then, Cao Wei waved and asked Xiaoyu to take the wedding money and give it to Po Wen.

Because the child was a son, Cao Wei gave him a generous gift this time, which was enough for Po Shao to work for more than ten years! Po Wen received the wedding money, thanked her happily, and was immediately taken out by Xiaoyu.

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched his head to look at his grandson with a smile on his face, "Cao Wei, what are you going to name our grandson?"

"Back then, Hanming and I chose a name. When we gave birth to a daughter, we would call her Yin, and when we gave birth to a son, we would call her Lin."

Zhu Yuanzhang pouted, "Cao Lin, Lin'er, not bad."

Concubine Han also smiled with her eyes turning into crescent moons, and whispered to the baby, "Lin'er, Lin'er..."

For Concubine Han, Cao Lin was her daughter's son and her biological grandson. In the Ming Dynasty, she had another relative whose blood was thicker than water, and she really became her heartthrob!

The little guy was also quite interesting. He seemed to know that others were calling him, and he was grinning with teeth and claws, which made Cao Wei and the others very happy.

Because Zhu Hanming was weak and had just given birth to a child, he felt sleepy after a while and fell into a deep sleep.

After Cao Wei sent Zhu Yuanzhang and Concubine Han out of the Cao Mansion, he returned to the house and stayed with Zhu Hanming, mother and son.

"Master, I just need to stay here, you can go and have a rest," Xiaoyu said in a low voice.

Cao Wei shook his head.

These two people are his home!
