Chapter 312 Father, times have changed

Zhu Yu never expected that Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly mentioned the secret weapon.

Speaking of secret weapons, I'm afraid I'm referring to the big pineapples, that is, those light machine guns.

After all, the Hongyi cannon has not yet been brought to the table, and the drone is not a weapon.

"Father, I don't know what you are talking about," Zhu Zhen smiled dryly, trying to get away with it.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Chu with a smile and said nothing, shook his head and said: "Zhen'er, we have said it more than once, don't think that we are too old to be stupid, and don't always think that you can fool me. You Still tender.”

Zhu Yuanzhang was right. In front of him, Zhu Ming looked immature in many places.

Again, after all, this was Emperor Hongwu, who single-handedly created the four major cases in the early Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the once arrogant Huaixi nobles, the arrogant and arrogant Lan Yu, or even the civil and military ministers of the dynasty, They were all managed obediently by him.

Not to mention that Zhu Zhen had used a light machine gun outside Ningxia Town to shoot down Arutai so badly.

Tang Jie and others who were present at that time were not blind.

Still want to hide it at this time? Can you keep it secret?

Seeing the calm look on Zhu Yuanzhang's face as he tried to manipulate himself, Zhu Xi gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say: "Actually, it's not that big of a deal, it's just a firearm like a blunderbuss. At most, it can be connected like a divine machine arrow. hair."

After hearing what he said, everyone else showed understanding expressions.

During the Ming Dynasty, the importance of firearms had begun to be realized. During the Yongle period, Zhu Di even set up a special Shenji camp, whose main weapons were firearms.

So not only the generals knew what firearms were, but even the civil servants just smiled.

It turned out to be just fire blunderbuss and magical arrows. What was there to hide? His Highness was really making a fuss out of a molehill.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Ming with deep eyes, as if he was saying, "You have to play tricks on me, right?" Didn't I tell you that you are still young?

Zhu Yuanzhang had the information. This brat only had about ten people carrying those terrible weapons, and he suppressed the 30,000 people in Arutai until they couldn't hold their heads up, and even killed a full 20,000 people.

It's not like Zhu Yuanzhang has never played with fire guns. Mu Ying even played the fire gun troops to the fullest, and they don't have such lethality.

are you kidding me?

"Dad, you have to get to the bottom of it, right?" Zhu Ming wasn't happy either, so he couldn't let me have some secrets? Why are you like those parents who like to read their children's diaries when they have nothing to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and heard that Zhu Ming was subdued, so he waved his hand and said: "After the court, everyone goes back to his home. There is no food today."

Good guy, after a long afternoon of noon, all the ministers are hungry, but they still don’t care about food, so they have to go home to eat, right?

You are too stingy.

But who dared to ask for something from Emperor Hongwu? They all stepped back and resigned.

Before Zhu Yunwen left, he looked back behind him and saw that Zhu Min wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but Zhu Yuanzhang called him over with a smile on his face. Zhu Yuanzhang even grabbed Zhu Min's hand and pulled him toward the harem.

Zhu Zhen was fighting all the way: "I can go home for lunch, or go to Xu's house for a meal. I haven't checked on Uncle Xu's condition today. You give up."

He didn't dare to struggle really hard, otherwise he might have to be thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care about that, he pulled Zhu Ming and walked quickly to the harem, and said: "Don't try to get away with it, go and show it to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Min didn't want to reveal his secret weapon, so he took him to the harem to find out.

Zhu Yunwen stood for a while with a sinking face.

In the past, he was the popular person in front of Grandpa Huang, and he was the most favored one.

Zhu Yuanzhang already had so many sons, and in fact there were also many grandchildren.

For example, Zhu Yunwen is two years older than Zhu Ming, and Zhu Jixi is two years older than Zhu Yunwen. He is also the eldest son of his third brother, Jin Wang Zhu Han.

Even Zhu Gaochi, the eldest son of King Yan of his fourth brother Zhu Di, is one year older than Zhu Ming.

These are all great nephews.

But there are only a few grandsons that Zhu Yuanzhang really likes. For example, Zhu Gaochi is fine, but that kid Zhu Gaoxu is not liked by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Gaoxu is simply a little bastard, and he has not been a good bird since he was a child.

But now, Zhu Yunwen felt deeply uneasy. Except for his father, Prince Zhu Biao, when had the emperor ever been so close to and fond of any other son?

Even his legitimate uncles were scared to death of Grandpa Huang.

Even the other uncles Wang who were still in the capital did not dare to come to pay their respects to Grandpa Huang. They just hid if they could.

Only this eighteenth uncle, not only was he not afraid of Grandpa Huang's majesty at all, but he was also very fond of Grandpa Huang.

Could it be that Grandpa Huang is a sexist? (no)

Finally, the little eunuch came over and reminded Zhu Yunwen that it was time to go out.

Look at the other side.

This time we did not go to Concubine Zhou's palace, but to the side hall where Zhu Yuanzhang handled official business.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang should actually be handling official business in Qianqing Palace.

Yes, Nanjing is also known as the Forbidden City, which was built in the capital during the Hongwu period.

The current specifications of the palace are that the central official area is on both sides from Hongwu Gate to Chengtian Gate, and the Taimiao Temple and Sheji Altar are on both sides from Chengtian Gate to Meridian Gate.

The front hall is centered on Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, and Jinshen Hall, with Wenhua Hall and Wenlou in the east, Wuying Hall and Wulou in the west, Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace in the back hall as its core, and Chunhe Palace in the east. In the west are Rouyi Hall, Fengxian Hall, Dashan Hall, Nine-Five Feilong Hall, and West Palace, with six east and west palaces on both sides.

Etc., etc.

Therefore, the Forbidden City in Nanjing is not necessarily worse than the Forbidden City in Beijing. It is better to say that the Forbidden City was built based on the Forbidden City in Nanjing.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang disliked having to go back to Qianqing Palace after going to court. It was a bit far and troublesome.

In addition, Qianqing Palace and Qianning Palace are closely connected. Qianning Palace is the palace where Queen Ma lives. She is afraid of seeing things and missing people.

That's why Zhu Yuanzhang liked to work in the side hall of the front hall, and he could summon officials from various ministries at any time when needed.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was so keen on this, Zhu Chu knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had no choice but to say: "Father."

"I would rather hear you call me dad a few more times. Calling me father seems too harsh," Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted.

Zhu Zhen resisted the urge to take advantage. If he were joking with his buddies in his previous life, when Zhu Yuanzhang mentioned key words such as "father" and "father", he would definitely not miss it and he would have to shout "Alas".

"Dad," Zhu Ming shouted smoothly. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss. After all, they really have a father-son relationship.

"Now that you already know the news, I will no longer hide it. You send a eunuch to my palace and ask Wang Fu to bring the things into the palace. I will show you the things. But don't forget to ask Wang Fu to do it. Be prepared, it’s not time for those things to come out yet,” Zhu Zhen said, not forgetting to remind him to do a good job of covering up.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to inform him, and asked the eunuch Huangmen Shilang to convey the order in person.

When no one came, Zhu Yuanzhang sent someone to deliver lunch here, and those who sat opposite Zhu Yu started to eat.

The two of them took advantage of the mood and drank a few drinks.

Because most of what we drink nowadays is rice wine. After all, shochu has a high concentration, which is white wine, but the purity is slightly lower. Drinking less rice wine on weekdays is good for the body.

After lunch, the eunuch came in from outside and announced that Wang Fu had been waiting outside for a long time.

Only then did the two men arrive outside the palace.

As expected, Wang Fu was waiting in the yard, and there were two boxes on the ground at his feet.

One of the boxes was made of iron, with a layer of camouflage color painted on it. It looked very modern at first glance, and it was indeed produced by the system. It was boxes of ammunition that Zhu Chu had bought before.

The other mouth is a wooden box, slightly slender.

When Wang Fu opened the box, he saw that it was filled with thick hay. What was placed in the box was a large pineapple light machine gun.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what it was, but he guessed: "This is your all-powerful mysterious weapon? It doesn't look like much, but it's not as big as the caliber of a fire gun." Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Fu to pick up the gun. , only to find that the caliber of this light machine gun is not even as large as a firecracker. Is this possible?

Zhu Ming just smiled and shook his head, and then gave Wang Fu a wink.

Wang Fu shook his head.

Are you kidding, shooting in front of Emperor Hongwu? Whose fault is it if the Holy Master is shocked?

"Virtue," Zhu Ming rolled his eyes, and without ceremony, grabbed the machine gun and held it in his hand. At the same time, he asked Wang Fu to take out a bullet chain and hang it at the bullet entrance.

Then Zhu Chu turned around and faced the inner wall, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I'm going to shoot. Cover your ears so you don't get scared."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sneered. How could a gun with such a small muzzle be used in a frightening manner?

He didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Zhen, on the other hand, pulled the trigger without hesitation.

In an instant, a 'ta-da-da' sound resounded over the courtyard, and soon alerted the guards outside.

Soon, a large group of Jinyi guards rushed in, and they were all wearing Feiyu uniforms. There were hundreds of them.

It is true that the Jinyiwei is a secret service agency of the Ming Dynasty, but don’t forget that the predecessor of the Jinyiwei was the Gongwei Division, which was later renamed the Qinjun Duwei Mansion. It governed the Yiluan Division and was in charge of the emperor’s guard of honor and bodyguards. Finally, it was renamed the Jinyiwei. .

In other words, Jinyiwei will not only be sent out to monitor officials, but also secretly collect intelligence from all over the world.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei is first and foremost the emperor's personal bodyguard and honor guard.

On weekdays, each guard's army is on duty at the four gates of the imperial city. Only the Jinyi Guards can set up day and night guards outside the Meridian Gate.

These people can be said to be Zhu Yuanzhang's most trusted confidants.

And when these Jin Yiwei came in, they were frightened.

Then I saw Zhu Chu holding a mysterious object in his hand, facing the wall in front of him, and with the muzzle of the gun spitting out a tongue of fire, countless bullets made of brass were driven into the wall, and even the wall was later penetrated. .

Fortunately, there was no one behind, otherwise it might have caused accidental injury.

In an instant, Zhu Qi emptied a bullet chain and then stopped pouring firepower.

Turning his head, Zhu Ming noticed the arrival of Jin Yiwei and saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang could not be as calm as before. Although he was not frightened by the gunfire, it had to be said that although the Big Pineapple was as powerful as a light machine gun, the gunfire was very small, and might not even be as good as a rifle.

But Zhu Yuanzhang finally realized that this seemingly inconspicuous caliber was by no means comparable to a mere fire gun.

Just kidding, what kind of gun can fire two hundred rounds of ammunition in one minute?

Moreover, the projectiles fired by the fire gun are simply incomparable to the bullets produced by modern technology. Even if they can hit the opposite wall, they can only barely break a layer of skin.

(It’s really not nonsense. The old house in the author’s hometown still has iron beads from old-fashioned shotguns on the door panels. Old-fashioned guns can’t even break the door panels, let alone firecrackers.)

Zhu Yuanzhang took a breath and said excitedly: "Firearms like these are the real magic weapons. If all of our Ming army can be equipped with such weapons, who in the world can stop them?"

He finally understood where Zhu Ming's confidence came from.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed, and he shouted fiercely to the other people in the yard: "Get out of here, everyone. No one is allowed to come near without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by the nine tribes."

The royal guards quickly retreated with their heads lowered without hesitation, and guarded the courtyard gate.

Including Huangmen's servant, the chief internal officer, also quickly retreated in fear.

Wang Fu glanced at Zhu Ming and left one after another.

In a blink of an eye, only Zhu Zhen and Zhu Yuanzhang were left in the yard. The father and son looked at each other.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and pointed his finger at Zhu Zhen: "Good boy, it was so hard for you to hide this from me."

"I don't know what father is talking about," Zhu Zhen smiled and pretended to be dumbfounded.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.

"Dad," Zhu Min lowered his head, lowered his eyebrows and cooperated with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled proudly. After all, he is also me. No matter how powerful you are, you should lie down and lie down.

"No wonder you are dissatisfied with Yunwen. With such a magical weapon, how can he be your opponent? I'm afraid you can sweep away Yunwen with just your guards." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, not knowing at this time, How could Zhu Yunwen be his eighteenth uncle's opponent?

Let alone Zhu Yunwen, what Zhu Yuanzhang did not say clearly was that if Zhu Zhen was a little bit more of a bastard, he could have replaced him with the sound of candle shadow and axe.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have believed that there were such terrifying weapons in the world?

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that Zhu Zhen was indeed capable of wiping out 20,000 people in Arutai and becoming invincible on the grassland.

Zhu Zhen did not explain, and he did not rely entirely on the power of the weapons in his hands that spanned the ages.

"It seems that Yunwen is bound to lose," Zhu Yuanzhang said bluntly. With the weapons in Zhu Xun's hands, Zhu Yunwen was definitely no match.

But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said with sincerity: "Zhen'er, we have already arranged for him to marry an ordinary family. The Ma family cannot threaten your status. Don't kill them all."

Zhu Yuanzhang said these words as if he was making arrangements for his funeral.

If outsiders heard this, it would probably be no less than a bolt from the blue, especially since this was Emperor Hongwu, who could actually speak softly?

This is almost like pleading with Zhu Yun for Zhu Yunwen.

No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang shouted so sternly just now to make people leave. These words must not be heard by the second person.

This also shows that in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he has already acquiesced that Zhu Ming will definitely rise to power in the future.

Who can stop this?

"Don't worry, Dad, as long as he is willing to admit defeat, I will not only not kill them all, but will also take good care of him. After all, they are my eldest brother's descendants, and they are also members of our Lao Zhu family. If a family does not speak the same language, the world will It is so big, I would rather let the descendants of our old Zhu family control the power and influence than let outsiders become big. Just like you, I will not confer a king with a different surname," Zhu Ming, who was also rare to be honest, said He spoke his mind.

Not only was Zhu Yuanzhang not angry, but he was very happy with Zhu Ming's attitude.

After all, the descendants of Lao Zhu's family spread out from his place. To put it bluntly, no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, and no matter which bloodline continues, they will all be his descendants.

So Zhu Ming's words reassured him greatly.

"My eldest nephew is quite capable. At least those Confucian scholars and civil servants are controlled by him. Now all his subordinates are fighting for him. However, my eldest nephew has always been on the high platform without any reputation. It will be damaged, and he may be allowed to take advantage of those aristocratic families in the future," Zhu Zhen showed a sinister expression.

If Zhu Yunwen was really willing to admit defeat, Zhu Yun really would not kill him, because the living Zhu Yunwen was more useful than the dead Zhu Yunwen.

For example, if he brings all those aristocratic families with evil intentions under his command, and then cooperates a little bit, can he catch them all in one fell swoop?

After all, they are a family, right?

As for whether he is afraid of Zhu Yunwen's rebellion or something.

Don't forget that Zhu Yun is systematic. As long as he succeeds once, Zhu Yunwen will never be able to stand up again. He wishes that Zhu Yunwen would know immediately any little moves or changes in Zhu Yunwen's mind behind his back.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen has absolute confidence because he relies on the system to monitor the loyalty of every vassal brother at any time. He knows exactly who is loyal and who is disloyal.

When the day comes that he becomes the emperor, these brothers don't need to cut down their vassals at all. You can do well. We brothers can conquer the world together. If you are really dissatisfied, then be an idle prince. If you really want to have your own way, you will have to commit suicide. At worst, you will be killed. Sent to Africa to explore the way.

He had countless ways to avoid internal strife like the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Up to now, Zhu Zhen is only waiting for one thing, and that is Lao Zhu's retirement. When Lao Zhu retires, it will be his era and his world.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows and said playfully: "What? You can't wait any longer?"

Zhu Zhen said angrily: "I still understand the principle that tiger poison cannot eat its seeds."

Zhu Yuanzhang is already looking for shoe soles. Tiger poison cannot eat seeds, which should be said to me, are you my father?

"Dad, I mean I'm not worse than a beast. You're dad, you're Tianxing, right? Stop working so hard, I'll teach you how to shoot," Zhu Zhen hurriedly came over and held down Zhu Yuanzhang's eager hand, holding the light gun in his hand. The machine gun was handed over.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled. This kid gave himself such a deadly weapon, which showed that he really had no intention of threatening him.

But Zhu Yuanzhang sighed again: "I really want to borrow another five hundred years from heaven. By then, I will be able to see the thousand-year achievements you described."

Even he began to look forward to Zhu Zhen's ambition.
