Chapter 57
After reading Wang Xianggan's memorial, Zhu Youjian fell into deep thought.

Lin Danhan's intentions were obvious, he knew that he would definitely not be able to do Huang Taiji, so he wanted to pull Daming into the water.

If Daming does not send troops to help, he will continue to move westward.

If the Ming Dynasty sent troops to help but still can't fight, then continue to move westward.

At present, all the tribes of Mongolia are falling to Houjin. If Lin Danhan moves westward again, the whole outside of the customs will completely become the back garden of Jiannu, and he can go wherever he wants.Furthermore, although Huang Taiji inherited the position of Khan after Nurhachi's death, at this time he still only has the name of Great Khan, but not the reality of Great Khan.Right now, the four Baylors are still sitting side by side.It might be a huge blow to his prestige to crush his war intent.

Daming is taken for granted.

Zhu Youjian thought about it all afternoon, but it was not about sending troops.

Sending troops is a must. When Wang Xiangqian was sent to Datong, he had this consideration in mind.

What he considered was whether he wanted to go or not.

If these students in the military academy experience the baptism of war, they will make great progress.

But as the principal, he can't send dozens of people who have no official positions and no combat experience to the battlefield. That would be meaningless.

But if he went by himself, he was a little scared.

Yes, just fear.

He hadn't even killed a chicken in his previous life, so it's a bit embarrassing for him to go to the battlefield now.

When night fell over the land again, Zhu Youjian rode back to the palace after sitting quietly for an afternoon.

He already had a decision in his mind.

If you are afraid of a bird, just do it!

After returning to the palace, he first summoned Bi Maokang.

Gave him a bunch of things.

And Xixi Mall customized rifled seamless steel pipe.

The outer diameter is 16mm, the inner diameter is 10mm, and the length is 90cm.There are rifling lines inside.

"Old Bi, can you use these steel pipes to make a batch of firecrackers for me?"

"can!"

Bi Maokang nodded excitedly, holding the steel pipe in his hand, he couldn't bear to put it down. What kind of craftsmanship is it that can make such a seamless barrel.

here!
Is it the legendary rifling?

Zhu Youjian looked at Bi Maokang who was beaming with joy, but he was no longer in the mood to joke.

"How many days can it be done?"

"Up to three days."

Bi Maokang gave the answer after a little thought.Because the production of steel pipes is omitted, it is much simpler overall, but other parts need to be changed in size, so it only takes three days.

After Bi Maokang left, Zhu Youjian summoned Sun Yuanhua again.

"How many guns have been built lately?"

"Return to Your Majesty, there are sixteen red barbarian cannons and sixty Italian cannons."

"Well, does Sun Qing dare to go to the battlefield?"

"Dare!" Sun Yuanhua replied firmly.

"Okay! Go back and wait for my order."

After making arrangements, Zhu Youjian went to Kunning Palace.

At this time Zhou Yufeng was still awake and was quietly waiting for Zhu Youjian.

The two met and chatted casually.Zhu Youjian planned to tell Zhou Yufeng about the expedition.

"Zitong."

"Long live."

"Zi Tong speaks first."

"Long live first."

Pfft, both of them laughed.It made Zhu Youjian's heavy heart ease a lot.

"Let's talk about Zitong first."

Zhou Yufeng hesitated for a moment, and said:

"A few days ago, I discussed with the emperor's sister-in-law and wanted to choose a concubine for Long Live."

"what?"

It's not that he's not interested in women, it's that he's been so busy these days that he's been so dizzy that he doesn't even think about it.

"Let's talk about it when I get back."

"Come back? Where is Long Live going?"

Zhu Youjian no longer hesitated, and told Zhou Yufeng his plan to go out.Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Yufeng's eyes began to fill with tears, and he was about to cry.

"There are so many civil and military forces in the Manchu Dynasty, do you still need Long Live to go out in person?"

Zhu Youjian took Zhou Yufeng's hand and said softly:

"Zitong don't have to worry, I know what's going on."

He didn't plan to say anything more, women, knowing more may not be a good thing.

Zhou Yufeng gently buried her head in Zhu Youjian's chest and said nothing more.Based on her understanding of Zhu Youjian, she knew that talking more would be useless.

Three days later, Bi Maokang's gun had already been manufactured.

On the shooting range, Bi Maokang aimed his newly-made flintlock gun at a wooden target two hundred paces away. This time, he did not hesitate to be afraid, and pulled the trigger decisively.

boom!
Right in the bull's eye.

In fact he tried it when the first gun was built.

The gun made of this kind of seamless steel pipe not only has a long range, great power, but also is very accurate.

"Old Bi, how far can this gun go?"

"I haven't tried it yet, but it can easily penetrate heavy armor from [-] steps away."

Two hundred steps, or more than 300 meters, is far beyond the range of bows and arrows.

In the afternoon, Zhu Youjian returned to the military academy with a new musket.

Students from two classes were called together in the square, and the new muskets were fired.

After a group of students got the new musket, they all studied it curiously.

Soon, some students discovered the difference of the new musket.

"Why is the barrel of this gun so short?"

"Yes, and there is no gap at all."

Everyone talked a lot, and Zhu Youjian led everyone to the shooting range.After trying the gun, everyone was amazed again.

This is much stronger than what is used in daily training.

Zhu You ordered Zhu Kezhen and Wang Laipin to line up on the spot, and stood in front of the line and said loudly:

"A few days ago, I received a report. It said that the establishment of slaves outside the customs was about to move, and there were signs of violating the border. I plan to go to the border to have a look. Do you dare to come with me?"

When everyone heard it, they immediately understood.

The principal is going to take us on a personal expedition!
We are the principal's first batch of students, if we don't do our best at this time, when will we wait?
"Students are willing to go through fire and water for the principal, and they will do everything they can!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited, and uniform roars echoed over the shooting range.

Zhu Youjian looked at the group of resolute faces in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Take a rest tomorrow, and return to school the next morning! Waiting for dispatch!"

"Yes! Principal!"

Zhu Youjian returned to the palace and summoned five cabinet scholars in Hongde Hall.

Since the killing of a group of people on the first day of the first lunar month, His Majesty has not made any big moves. The government affairs are basically handled by the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Wang Chengen is very dead on certain things, no matter what it is, he only starts from one angle.

That is whether it is good for your master.If you encounter something beyond your ability, please decisively ask His Majesty the Emperor.

Occasionally he would go to the deep palace to chat with Wei Zhongxian, and he learned a lot from Wei Zhongxian.And Wei Zhongxian's words touched him deeply.

"We are disabled people. Long live trusts us, so we have to think about long live. We have to do the dirty work for the master, and we have to bear the stigma for the master. If the master is good, we will be fine. If the master is not good, we may die." No guarantee."

Wang Chengen has sublimated, and his life direction has been found.

Amid the back-and-forth between the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the cabinet, Fan Jingwen and others were living a pretty good life.Except for the occasional ridiculous behavior, His Majesty never gave them any advice on professional issues.

It would be nice if you were a little more obedient.

Looking at Zhu Youjian, who was tanned recently due to training, the five cabinet ministers thought at the same time.
