Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 131 IQ crushing
Zhang Yifan raised his head upon hearing the sound, only to find that it was Zhu Di who was speaking.

But he was not talking to himself, but to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhang Yifan didn't hear clearly just now, so he just looked at it in a daze.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhang Yifan, then looked at Zhu Di and said, "Go and get familiar with him first. If he does well later, I will send him over for a walk!"

"Yes, father!" Zhu Di replied with some regret after hearing this.

Although it was Zhu Yuanzhang who told him to publicly invite his consort to Jiangyin at this farewell banquet, this was indeed what Zhu Di had in mind.His father didn't agree, so there was nothing he could do.

When Xu Da and others heard this, they looked at each other and fell silent.

In fact, after they went back yesterday and carefully inquired about the consort, they finally understood why the emperor wanted to confer the title of "walking on orders".I dare say this prince-in-law is really a treasure, and he often comes up with good ideas.

Therefore, they also wanted to invite the son-in-law, but unexpectedly, King Yan spoke first and was rejected by the emperor.In this case, it would definitely be useless for them to speak, so they simply stopped talking.

Perhaps, when the prince-in-law grows older, becomes more mature, and becomes more capable, then inviting someone will be more effective, right?
They were thinking that Zhang Yifan had already figured out what was going on, so he smiled and said to Zhu Di: "You are going to Jiangyin soon, and I have prepared a gift for you!"

Gift?Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Yifan with different expressions.

Most of the princes who don't really know Zhang Yifan think, look, he is still a young man at heart, so he remembers to give gifts before leaving.

However, Zhu Di definitely knew Zhang Yifan. When he heard what he said, he knew that it was definitely a good thing. He was overjoyed and asked quickly: "What gift? Take it out and take a look?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were also curious, wondering what the gift was?
Zhang Yifan did prepare a gift. If he hadn't just heard Zhu Di say that he wanted him to go to Jiangyin, he would have given it to him as a farewell.Now, Bento is responding to Zhu Di's invitation.

He took out a folded piece of paper, handed it to Zhu Di beside him, and said, "Ship battles are very critical to destroy Japanese pirates. Here are two firearms blueprints, which should be sharp weapons in naval battles. You can Try it and see if it’s great or not?”

When they heard that it was related to military matters, the princes immediately perked up. It turned out to be related to firearms, so they needed to take it seriously.

Zhu Di was most looking forward to it, and immediately opened the drawing to see, and found that it was a painting, divided into upper and lower halves, each with a ball, but it was slightly different.There is also a beautiful font on the side to write the description.

Of course he recognized that the paintings and calligraphy were all painted or written by his eldest sister.

He wasn't surprised at all.As for Zhang Yifan's words, if he hadn't written them with that quill pen, he would have been inferior to him and wouldn't have been able to write them.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but read it out.

"The enemy of ten thousand people, the main thing is to breathe fire and burn, and the method to make it is..."

"Explosive packs mainly cause damage by explosion, and the production method is..."

The two firearms Zhang Yifan gave were invented in the late Ming Dynasty and were used to defend cities against tens of thousands of enemies.The shell is made of ceramics, which is filled with gunpowder, arsenic and other substances. There is a wooden frame on the outside of the ceramics to prevent it from being broken. After it is lit and thrown on top of the city, it will spin around under the city, spitting out fire and emitting poisonous smoke, while the guards on the top of the city will Because the army is blocked by the city wall, it will not be affected.

Zhang Yifan thought that this kind of enemy with ten thousand people would have the same effect when used in ship battles.Anyway, ship battles in this era were all ship-jumping battles. When two ships were approaching, throwing ten thousand enemies onto the enemy ship would cause chaos on the enemy ship, and half of the battle would be won before the battle started.

As for the explosive pack, that's pretty simple.The outer layer of gunpowder is added with gravel and the like, and the explosion mainly kills the enemy.

The reason why it is an explosive pack instead of a grenade is mainly because the power of gunpowder at this time is limited. If it is made into a grenade, the power is not estimated to be enough. Therefore, if you use an explosive pack, you can use a small trebuchet or even a conscienceless cannon to project it.

Of course, there can be another method, which is to increase the power of black powder, and add some common things to it, and the power will be greatly increased.In that case, it is also possible to switch to large grenades.

However, Zhang Yifan didn't want to give it all at once.This is not because I am too proud of myself.But in this era, none of the opponents that the Ming Dynasty conquered were as powerful as the firearms of the Ming Dynasty army, let alone granulated gunpowder.

He is already a monster now, but he can still explain it, but if he takes too big a step, it will easily lead to trouble.

At this time, when Zhu Di read out the words on the drawing, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

Not to mention the explosive packs, just the name "Ten Thousand Enemies" can make people feel very powerful.

Therefore, as soon as Zhu Di finished reading, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "Show me!"

As soon as the eunuch waiting beside him heard this, he immediately walked quickly to King Yan, and with the gazes of the princes staring at him, he presented the drawing to the emperor.

There are drawings and instructions, and you can tell something at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at it, and of course he knew it was Jing Jing's handwriting, but he didn't care about it at all. Instead, he raised his head happily and asked Zhang Yifan, "How did you think of it?"

"You don't have to think of it!" Zhang Yifan started to show off after hearing this, "Can't gunpowder explode or spit fire? Then I was thinking, if it is a ship battle..."

In fact, if he hadn't traveled through time, it would have been strange to think of it simply.

At this time, he used the thinking of hindsight to talk about the idea of ​​these two firearms backwards, which was naturally logical, as if he thought of it very simply.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was indeed easy to think of it, but why couldn't anyone else think of it?
For a moment, he felt that his IQ was being crushed.

Tens of thousands of enemies did not appear until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Even explosive packets and grenades did not appear in the Ming Dynasty. It was not that the people of the Ming Dynasty were stupid, but that the power of gunpowder was not enough.

First there was the development of gunpowder, and then in the late Ming Dynasty the demand for city defense increased. Only then did the Ming people invent the enemy of ten thousand people.Otherwise, the probability of inventing when there is no demand is even lower.

At this time, several famous generals heard the explanation and realized that the firearms on the drawing were very powerful. They were so happy to see Zhu Yuanzhang again that they couldn't help it.

No, Xu Da was the first to report to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, what kind of firearm is it? Is it really powerful?"

"Your Majesty, I wonder if this firearm can be used to conquer the Tartars in the north?" Feng Sheng followed.

Deng Yu also gave up his old face and said directly: "The general is about to conquer Tubo. The terrain is disadvantageous. Can we use firearms to make up for it?"

……

Zhu Di looked at them and shouted in his heart: "Mine, that's mine, my brother-in-law gave it to me!"

Of course, he only dared to think about it in his mind, but he really didn't dare to shout it out.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw how anxious these princes were, he immediately laughed and said, "Come on, come on, this is the best farewell gift for you. Let's take a look!"

After finishing speaking, he gave the drawing to the eunuch and passed it on to the following princes.

Xu Da and others naturally checked it out immediately, and everyone was filled with admiration.

"A good idea, really a good idea!"

"That's right, that's right. When I attack Tubo, if I throw it on the city, I will be able to open a gap immediately!"

"When the Tartars see them for the first time, they will definitely be shocked. It's just the right time to catch a drowned dog!" "..."

After admiring for a while, Xu Da turned to look at Zhang Yifan, his eyes so bright that Zhang Yifan didn't dare to look at him: What kind of look is this? It should only appear on a big girl!

"Your Majesty, the former Yuan Dynasty Lieutenant Hana has gathered 10,000+ troops outside the Pass and in Liaodong and other places, and there is a tendency for more and more people to gather." Xu Da suddenly turned around and reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, "There may be a big fight at any time in the frontline war. . The prince-in-law is walking on orders, why not also go and see the northern front?"

As soon as I heard his words, I knew he was going to rob someone.

After Deng Yu heard this, he was also anxious. No matter what happened before, Xu Da had already said it, so he would grab it.

What if he grabs it and the prince-in-law goes to the front line and gets another idea? It will be better than an elite army!
After all, in today's Ming Dynasty, there are many elite teachers, but there is only one son-in-law who can come up with brilliant ideas at any time.

"Your Majesty, Tubo occupies a favorable location, and the general wants to ask the son-in-law to see if there is a way to restrain Tubo?"

When Feng Sheng heard this, he would be in big trouble if he didn't speak.So, he also asked Zhu Yuanzhang for help.

……

Seeing that they all wanted a son-in-law, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "The son-in-law has only been married for less than four months, and I value it very much. I can't bear to separate their newlyweds."

The implication is that this is the son-in-law of my Lao Zhu family, and I, Lao Zhu, love him dearly!
If you go to the front line with these princes, you will definitely not be able to bring your family with you.So, don’t think about it yet.

Zhu Yuanzhang was particularly happy to show off his son and son-in-law in front of these important ministers.

Xu Da and others were very sorry to hear this.But in the blink of an eye, they were still happy.

After this trip, apart from anything else, the granulated gunpowder, the ten thousand enemies and the explosive packs are all good things, and they are worth it!

Just like that, the farewell banquet was over. Zhu Yuanzhang personally sent several princes to the Meridian Gate, and the prince, on behalf of the emperor, led all the civil and military officials to the outside of the city.

Afterwards, several princes immediately returned to the frontier.

Coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, things that had never happened before in history happened because of Zhang Yifan, and the butterfly effect began to spread to further places.

Not to mention, at this time, in Liaodong, Hana, the former Yuan Taiwei mentioned by Xu Da, was having a headache.

It's already autumn, and the so-called autumn is high and the horse is fat.For them, it was time to assemble and prepare to thresh the valley for the winter.

Unexpectedly, the subordinates suddenly reported that smallpox had been found in a certain camp.

At first, he didn't take it seriously. Plagues like smallpox had occasionally existed in the past.

So he quickly ordered a quarantine, and no one was allowed to come into contact with the smallpox-infested camp until the people inside died or recovered.

However, what he didn't expect was that campsites infected with smallpox appeared in more than one place one after another.

At this time, he had a headache, and he quickly ordered not to gather again until the smallpox plague passed.

Although generally speaking, the smallpox plague did not kill many people, and more of them left some sequelae.However, the key issue is that the smallpox plague will eventually kill people, and who dies and who lives depends on the will of the Immortal God. It is not that strong people, or rich and powerful people, will definitely not die.

Encountering such a terrible thing, Hana couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: Could it be that the great vitality has been exhausted, so even the uncommon smallpox has become common?

........................

At the same time, in Nanjing City, King Yan Zhu Di also left Nanjing City and went to Jiangyin with Lan Yu accompanied by Marquis Jinghai.

After finishing all these things, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a lot more at ease.

The victory in that competition was also beyond his expectation, and his extremely exciting mood had calmed down with Zhu Di's departure.

At this time, he is free to deal with other government affairs that are not particularly urgent.

For example, the memorial that the prince forwarded.

In fact, he originally wanted to take a look first.Unexpectedly, the memorial was several times thicker than the other memorials, which made him lose interest.

Just two years ago, in December of the eighth year of Hongwu, Ru Taisu, the head of the Ministry of Punishment, published a memorial, which was also very thick.Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhongshu Lang Wang Min to read it to him. After reading [-] words, he still couldn't figure out the reason. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and said: "I am very disgusted with empty words that misrepresent the truth and clever writing that confuses the truth." Later, Ru Taisu was beaten severely.

This kind of thing was only done by Zhu Yuanzhang in history.To be honest, if it weren't for being really disgusted, I really wouldn't beat up the officials who gave me a meal for this.

Because of this, Zhu Yuanzhang is a little allergic to seeing thick memorials, especially for people who have to deal with hundreds of memorials a day.

At this time, Prince Zhu Biao was by his side, and he asked: "This is what Yifan wrote about money? Have you read it?"

When Zhu Biao heard this, he hesitated a little, and finally said truthfully: "I originally wanted to take the time to read it, but when I saw that this memorial was too thick, I didn't read it first."

Ru Taisu's memorial was beaten for less than [-] yuan; Zhang Yifan's memorial seemed to be more than four times the price of Ru Taisu's memorial, which was really scary.

"Then read it!" Zhu Yuanzhang understood his son's thoughts very well, so he ordered a sentence, and then closed his eyes to rest his mind.

After hearing this, Zhu Biao reached out to take the memorial presented to him by the eunuch, smiled bitterly in his heart, and then opened it.

As soon as he opened it, he was stunned.

For a moment, I didn't read it out.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, but there was no movement, so he felt a little strange. When he opened his eyes, he found that Zhu Biao was indeed holding the memorial, but he was not reading it.

So, he asked: "What's wrong? Is this kid Yifan doing something wrong again?"

Upon hearing the question, Zhu Biao raised his head, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a wry smile: "Father, Yifan, this is not a memorial, but a book!"

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised when he heard this.

Didn't you say write about money?How did it become a book?
With this thought in his mind, he frowned slightly and asked, "A bunch of nonsense?"

"No, it's very organized." After hearing this, Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "Father, take a look for yourself, and even add some pictures!"
