Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 209 Zhu Tuo was named crown prince. What happened?

"These ministers regard the emperor's grandson as the hope of the Ming Dynasty. If you let them know your thoughts, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court. This is a rule since ancient times."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and cursed angrily: "I am from Huainan, what does this world have to do with me? Could this be God's will? Isn't this a joke?
I bother! "

Xu Da was not angry at all, but just shook his head: "I am just worried about this, and have no other intentions."

"Ok?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "No matter what, I will make the Ming Dynasty prosperous forever, make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, and make the royal family stable. I must do this."

Xu Da didn't understand what he meant and advised him: "Your Majesty, I don't want to go against you, but you can take your time, why are you in such a hurry?"

"My life is not long."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked solemn, sighed deeply, and said: "I am old, and I have often felt uncomfortable these years. Now that Ming Dynasty has just been established, I don't want my efforts to be in vain. I must find a suitable successor for Ming Dynasty." Man, otherwise, wouldn’t my life have been in vain if I was under the Nine Springs?”

Xu Da became anxious and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you will definitely live a good life. Since the imperial doctors in the palace can't cure you, then I will find a doctor for you and let you have a good rest."

"Haha, no one can escape the cycle of life and death. Even if you are the emperor, so what? Xu Aiqing, please stop comforting me."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, his eyes calm. He climbed from a shepherd boy to the emperor step by step. Zhu Yuanzhang had already ignored death. Throughout his life, he never thought about becoming a god. You know, one of his sons was an unfilial son. son.

With the help of a group of old Taoist priests, he began to learn to refine elixirs.

Now, what he is most worried about is the future of this country.

"There's always a way."

"Everyone, are you all cultivators who know how to make medicine?"

Zhu Tuo looked at the group of people in front of him. There were quite a few of them, about fifty or so. They were all wearing Taoist uniforms, with a whisk on their arm and a flattering smile on their face.

"We are all King Su!"

"Yes, I can not only refine medicine, but also use the bodies of dead people to create soldiers in golden armor. Once completed, I will be an indestructible puppet. I can fight ten of them with no problem."

"I can refine weapons."

"I can set up a formation!"

Everyone is excited.

After all, their status, to put it a little better, is that they are old Taoists who have practiced for many years, and to put it a little bit worse, they are liars who practice medicine on the street, and usually make a living by divination and selling some fake products.

Sometimes, I can't even eat.

But they never thought that one day, they would be recruited by King Su.

Under the banner of King Su, Guo Jing called all the cultivators over.

There are those who know how to make medicine, some who know how to deceive people, some who know how to deceive people, and some who know how to deceive people.

After sneaking in, they found out that Prince Su was very interested in alchemy and built them a mansion covering an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

Feng Shui turns around!
They have only one purpose, and that is to win the favor of King Su and then live an enviable life.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Xia Jing!

What a good man, he can think of them for such a good thing!

Feeling everyone's attention, Xia Jing couldn't help but hold her head high and her pride was beyond words.

He Xia Jing only needs to hug Prince Su's thigh tightly. From now on, he Xia Jing will be the leader of Taoism.Glory is right in front of you!
"I finally know that you all have good skills!"

Zhu Tuo was also very happy and applauded. He never thought that someone would help him when he needed help!
Just looking at their abilities, including refining elixirs, refining corpses, refining weapons, and setting up formations, they might become the elders of a force!
With their continuous experiments, will the gun industry of the Ming Dynasty usher in a leap forward in development?
"A genius like you, for me, is like Jiang Ziya to King Wu of Zhou, Han Xin to Liu Bang, Liu Bowen to his father, Liu Bowen!" Zhu Tuo held Xia Jing's hands and said loudly.

Ye Zichen smiled faintly.

"The prince has so much confidence in us, we are willing to go through fire and water for the prince!" This was the first time in Xia Jing's life that he was so respected, and the man in front of him was a prince with a very high status. He was so excited that his words were a little awkward. .

"Very good, I was waiting for you to say it!" Zhu Tuo slapped him on the shoulder and said with interest: "Time is running out, how about you let me see your alchemy skills first?"

"At this time?" Xia Jing was slightly stunned, frowning and said, "Your Majesty, this place is empty, how can you refine the elixir?"

"It doesn't matter, I will ask someone to prepare some tools for you to refine the elixir."

Zhu Tuo waved and said something to the servant beside him, and the servant quickly retreated.

After a while, more than 100 people came in large numbers and with such ferocious momentum that they turned pale with fright.

How is this going?

"Don't worry, from now on, they are your personal soldiers, escorting you, eating and drinking, and spending all your expenses!" Zhu Tuo laughed loudly.

Have wages increased to this extent?

Everyone was stunned and looked at Zhu Tuo in confusion, with a look of disbelief on their faces.This Prince Su is a little too friendly.

Fifty or sixty crooks looked on dumbfounded as the soldiers took boxes of things out of the car and placed them on the ground.

There are many types of materials here, including sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal, and even some fuses used to set off firecrackers. Are these really materials used to refine elixirs?
How did you not know before?
"My lord, can this thing really be used to refine elixirs?"

Zhu Tuosha nodded seriously, "That's natural. This is an alchemy technique I created myself. Not many people will teach me. I'll tell you now."

Several liars quickly agreed.

"It's you, Skinny Monkey, you grind the saltpeter into powder, yes, yes, and then add some ore. Fool, why don't you weigh it and add it?"

"Okay, go get some carbon, put it in this brazier, and then connect the fuse."

A group of Taoists looked at Zhu Tuo in confusion, only to see Prince Su, who had always been bold, shouting something at them from twenty feet away.

The surrounding group of Jinyi guards were also watching from a distance, and no one came close.

This made them all a little nervous, because it was completely different from what they thought, and it gave them a chill.

Lu Qing frowned and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you want to use them to refine flames?"

Lu Xiaofeng said: "What?"

"Yes."

Lu Qing always felt that something was wrong, and said: "Although those people are liars, they haven't violated the law. It seems a little inappropriate to let them experiment with such powerful explosives."

Zhu Tuo looked at Lu Qing in surprise.

He didn't see that a hero like Lu Qing was actually a kind person.

"Don't worry, I know it well. The explosives they tested at the beginning were not very lethal. At most, they would only break off hands and feet. Besides, if we succeed, I will not let them down. "
