Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 130 God Machine Camp

"My dear grandson, we're here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gently patted Zhu Xuan's face.

Zhu Xuan rubbed his eyes and stood up, saying sheepishly: "Grandpa Huang, I'm sorry, I fell asleep!"

"fine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said dotingly: "We will ask Xu Xingzu to prepare the meal later. After you finish eating, change and go to bed early. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "It's not hard for my grandson. It's just for the emperor to watch my grandson's exam. That's hard work. If I had known it was so troublesome, my grandson would no longer want to join the army."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt warm again and said with a smile: "Silly boy, we are not afraid of getting tired. Let's go back!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Xuan was about to step out of the carriage, but then said: "Grandpa Huang, what about my grandson joining the army..."

"Let's do whatever you want!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted: "You have this ability. It would be a waste if you don't go to the army to practice. But remember, you must pay attention to safety. We are still waiting for you to come back in the palace."

And our Ming Dynasty throne is also waiting for our good grandson to sit on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not say this directly, but he meant this.

"My grandson knows, Grandpa Huang is so kind!"

Zhu Xuan said happily: "Grandpa Huang should go to bed early and not read the memorial anymore."

"it is good!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw his little sweet grandson jumping off the chariot and returning to the small courtyard with Hou Xian, he smiled warmly and asked someone to drive him back.

After a day of hard work, Zhu Xuan was indeed very tired.

However, he felt inexplicably excited at the thought of being able to lead an army and train new troops.

"Hou Xian, when do you think I can go to the battlefield?" Zhu Xuan asked.

Hou Xian felt that the little emperor's grandson might not be able to go to the battlefield.

With His Majesty's favor for him, it would be difficult for him to go to the battlefield.

"This depends on His Majesty's arrangement, and I don't know anything about it."

Hou Xian shook his head. He didn't dare to say some things, but he was thinking that Zhu Xuan's performance today would satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang and his position would be stable in the future.

Zhu Xuan felt right.

Being young is a flaw.

These thoughts were quickly forgotten by him.

next morning.

Zhu Xuan left the palace and came to the capital camp again. He handed the token to Li Jinglong and asked him for a thousand people.

There are now more than a thousand rifles.

In addition to giving the first batch to the Shenji Battalion that Zhu Xuan is about to form, some of them will be sent to the Jinyi Guards or other personal guards of Zhu Yuanzhang, and finally to the Beijing Camp or other guards.

"Cousin, I only want a thousand people."

Zhu Xuan doesn't need much.

If there were too many, he would worry that he wouldn't be able to bring them with him and would need to get used to them slowly.

What's more, a thousand of these gunmen are enough, but too many are not good.

"Is a thousand people enough?"

Li Jinglong felt that one thousand people was too few, so he asked, "How about I give you three thousand people?"

Zhu Xuan shook his head and said: "No, our factory only has more than a thousand guns. The first batch of soldiers from the Shenji Battalion is only a thousand people. How about my cousin give me the more than 900 people from yesterday and divide them into eight Come here alone and collect enough for a thousand?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not say how many people Zhu Xuan could train, he probably judged that about a thousand people would be no problem.

Li Jinglong said: "That's okay, just wait for me for a while."

After a while, the group of people from yesterday made up one thousand and sent them to the school field.

When they saw that the person who wanted to take them away was still the kid who killed without batting an eyelid from yesterday, they were first shocked, then worried, and did not want to serve as soldiers under Zhu Xuan.

Even though they had two meals of mutton from Zhu Xuan yesterday and enjoyed it very much, they were still afraid of Zhu Xuan's severity and that they would be shot.

"Yan Guan, take them away and go back to our factory." Zhu Xuan ordered.

"Let's go!"

Yan Guan shouted and led them away.

Back to the factory.

Zhu Xuan set up a military camp in the open space outside and built a flat school ground.

"Zheng He!"

"The servant is here!"

"Can you help me take care of these new recruits for the time being?"

Zhu Xuan asked.

Now Zheng He is basically stationed in the factory, and Hou Xian has returned to the palace to take care of Zhu Xuan, so it is more appropriate to temporarily leave the new soldiers to Zheng He's care.

When he has time, he will come and train in person.

"Slave, you can!"

Zheng He nodded and said: "But I am afraid of them and refuse to obey!"

Zhu Xuan said loudly: "If anyone dares to disobey, you can just kill him. You don't have to think too much. If something happens, I will take care of it."

After he finished speaking, he left all the soldiers in the camp to stand in military posture, and then taught Zheng He some of his military training methods. Some of them were taught by Li Jinglong, and some of them were modified by him based on modern ones.

First, the discipline of these soldiers should be improved, and then physical fitness should be trained, and then the enemy-killing skills, how to shoot, etc. should be trained.

Zheng He recorded everything and went to the school field to prepare for training.

Zhu Xuan went to look at the factory again. There was no progress on the steam engine yet, and other work was proceeding in an orderly manner. However, he gave the craftsmen a new task, which was to polish the glass and prepare to make telescopes and sights. It would be best to make a sniper. .

But these are precision instruments, and a combination of two ordinary pieces of glass cannot make a true military telescope.

Plastics cannot be made now, and there is no breakthrough in insulation technology for the time being. More advanced power storage technology has also stalled. Zhu Xuan's idea of ​​​​pulling wires into the palace can only continue to be shelved indefinitely.

These things are not easy to do.

The technology is still far behind.

In the following time, Zheng He was responsible for training the troops, and Zhu Xuan would occasionally come to take a look. He needed to know how far the training was, and then let the soldiers know that he was their general.

After the days of studying the art of war ended, Zhu Xuan lived a very ordinary life.

After the Shenji Battalion was established, he spent most of his time doing nothing except training troops. Such days passed quickly, and another year passed in the blink of an eye.

Thirty-three years of Hongwu.

This year, something not very good happened first.

Luo Guanzhong passed away because of old age.

Wu Zhen continued to stay in the bookstore, training new people, and also became the editor-in-chief of their bookstore. The bookstore was operating normally, Zhu Song opened up more and more markets, and his income was getting higher day by day.

In terms of the bookstore's income, Zhu Xuan is too lazy to take care of it.

Because most of his income is basically invested in the research and development of the factory, and only a small part is saved as private money.

It is worth mentioning that the steam engine has been successfully developed. Hou Xian and others are installing it on the ship. The Krupp cannon has also been manufactured and the same equipment is on the ship. They are also planning to go out to sea for a trial voyage, waiting for Zhu Xuan's arrangement.

Everything else is normal.

This day.

Zhu Xuan went to find Mu Yuanjun and Xu Miaojin again, and the three of them were playing around in Yingtian. Just when they were going to go on a cruise, a servant of the Mu family came over in a hurry.

"Your Highness, Miss, it's not good!"

A servant of the Mu family said anxiously: "Something happened in Yunnan, and the master is planning to return to Yunnan!"

"what?"

Mu Yuanjun exclaimed after hearing this.

When her father returns to Yunnan, she cannot stay in the capital and must go back with him.

Zhu Xuan couldn't bear to part with this little girl and quickly asked: "What happened in Yunnan?"

The servant said: "Marquis Xiping, died of illness!"
