Daming Military Empire

Chapter 30
Due to Zhu Cijiong's misjudgment, the impeachment of Xu Guangqi intensified, the number of impeachment memorials increased day by day, and the officials became increasingly angry, and the matter gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction.The only thing that can stop things from getting worse is Sun Chengzong, but Sun Chengzong is not very active in this matter, why?

First of all, no matter how upright and honest Sun Chengzong is, he is a member of the Donglin Party after all, and he is also the leader of the Donglin Party. He is emotionally inclined to the Donglin Party.

Then, Xu Guangqi is not a member of the Donglin Party, and he is not very familiar with him. The two are ordinary colleagues. There is no need for him to offend the party and friends for Xu Guangqi.

Finally, and most importantly, he also thought that Xu Guangqi had done something wrong, and the reason why he agreed to the little emperor to persuade those speech officials was mainly because he didn't want to make things worse.There is a difference between not wanting and not wanting. Not wanting is a desire to stop it from the bottom of my heart. Don’t you want to? Even if I don’t take the initiative to participate, I can still persuade them, but if they insist on making trouble, I will make trouble. It doesn't matter!

So Sun Chengzong just went to dissuade me as a matter of routine, and didn't force it, meaning that if you want to give me face, then stop making trouble, if you insist on not giving me face, then you can do whatever you want.

Originally, these officials of the Donglin Party wanted to give him this face, but there are still people behind to add fuel to the flames!
When Qian Qianyi heard that Sun Chengzong had come forward, he was frightened and wanted to stop, but when he saw Sun Chengzong's casual persuasion and then let him go, he became more courageous.

This Sun Chengzong made it clear that he was perfunctory, and he was afraid of a fart!

Therefore, it was the first time during the reign of Chongzheng that the palace was forced to perform. Qian Qianyi instigated his cronies, the Ministry of Rites, to gather more than 30 officials for Qu Shixu during the incident, and the quarrel broke out directly outside the Qianqing Palace.A group of big men were crying outside the palace gate, as if the emperor had been controlled by Xu Guangqi and couldn't help himself!If Xu Guangqi is not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will be over!That scene really scared me to death!

Now that things are getting worse, the construction of the military factory is in danger of dying before it starts.

Xu Guangqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was so frightened that he locked himself in the mansion, thinking behind closed doors, he didn't dare to go out, if he went out and ran into those lunatics, he would definitely be beaten up by Hai Bian, and the beating would be in vain!
Daozong, Minister of the Household Department, was so frightened that he directly stopped the payment of the military factory's silver.

Bi Maokang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was so frightened that he didn't even dare to enter the palace. Although he was a member of the Donglin Party, when those lunatics went crazy, they would bite whoever they caught. If he was bitten, he would have nowhere to cry!

Only Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian didn't care, they went directly to the palace when they should go to the palace to review the memorials, and no one dared to stop them from the lunatics at the gate of the palace.

Sun Chengzong was the leader of the Donglin Party, so the younger brothers naturally didn't dare to do anything to him.

Zhu Youjian was the prince, he was the biggest under the emperor, and he was surrounded by a large group of Jin Yiwei, who dared to touch him, he would let the general Jin Yiwei who was with him beat him up, and the beating would be in vain.

Only Zhu Cijiong is the most depressed. Isn't it necessary to build a military factory? Is it necessary to be so excited?

He was sitting in the imperial study, looking at Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian with blank eyes, but he was thinking about how to solve the predicament in front of him.

Thinking about it, he suddenly found a problem, this Zhu Youjian was a little anxious, looking outside from time to time; but this Sun Chengzong didn't care at all, and reviewed the memorial slowly, as if the people outside were like air!
Is this not a problem at all in Sun Chengzong's eyes?
With an idea, he tentatively asked: "Teacher, the officials outside seem to be members of your Donglin party, don't you think you can't do anything about them?"

Hearing this, Sun Chengzong put down the memorial in his hand, and sighed helplessly: "Oh, they are doing this for the emperor's good, I really can't bear to scold them."

Zhu Cijiong suddenly realized when he heard the words. It turned out that Sun Chengzong also thought that Xu Guangqi was wrong, so he didn't really stop those officials.It seemed that he could still drive those people away, but he didn't want to be this villain.

How to make him take the initiative to be this villain?Zhu Cijiong rolled his eyes, thinking about it.

He called Cao Huachun over and confessed, and then said to Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian: "Teacher, Fifth Uncle, don't be too busy reviewing memorials, I'll show you something."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand, and Qin Mingyue, who was beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to help him off the kang, and the two walked out holding hands like this.

Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian looked at each other suspiciously, put down the memorial in their hands, and followed.

What Zhu Cijiong wanted them to see was the power of the new gunpowder, and it was still in the old place, in the small square between Qianqing Palace and Kunning Palace, but this time the boards were placed sixty paces away.

After several gunshots of "Papa Papa", Zhu Cijiong asked two young eunuchs to carry the board to Sun Chengzong and Zhu Youjian, and asked proudly, "Teacher, what do you think of the power of this gunpowder?"

At this time, Sun Chengzong's eyes were almost popping out. It turns out that he is clear about the power of this bird gun. The bullets beyond sixty paces can't be embedded directly into the wooden board. They can't even leave a hole. Now the power has increased so much , if the Ming army used such a gunpowder gun, I am afraid that the post-Golden cavalry would be able to fight.

He asked excitedly: "Who invented this gunpowder? The power has been improved so much!"

Zhu Cijiong will naturally place the credit on Xu Guangqi's head, and will add another dose of strong medicine: "This gunpowder was naturally invented by his teacher Xu Guangqi. He is now working with Bi Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry to develop a new type of firearm. When the time comes Instead of using matchlocks, you can directly hit the flint to ignite the fire, and the range will be farther, and the bullet can be embedded in the wooden board at a distance of one hundred paces. "

Sun Chengzong couldn't believe his ears, and murmured: "A hundred steps away, that's the range of a five-stone strong bow. Is there really such a gun? Then everyone will become a sharp shooter!"

Zhu Cijiong hit the rails while it was hot: "Of course it is true. This military factory can start production after it is built. Otherwise, why would I allocate 100 million taels of silver to build a military factory?"

Sun Chengzong suddenly realized: "The military factory was originally built to develop new guns. Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhu Cijiong faked a smirk and said: "Hehe, this is not a momentary pleasure, did I forget to tell you. Taifu, do you think this military factory is going to be built?"

Sun Chengzong said eagerly: "If we want to build it, we must build it. The sooner the better, if we can have a musket with the same range as the five-stone strong bow, I will no longer be afraid of the Empress Golden Cavalry!"

Zhu Cijiong pretended to be embarrassed again and said: "What about the officials outside the palace? They are crying and shouting that they will not let me build a military factory."

These little bastards turned the world upside down for them. If the tiger doesn't show its power, it really treats me as a sick cat. Sun Chengzong's eyes flashed sharply, and he said coldly: "It's just a bunch of ignorant children, I will let them go."

After all, he is a supervisor who once commanded hundreds of thousands of troops. As soon as the evil spirit came out, Zhu Cijiong and Zhu Youjian beside him felt panicked. Only Qin Mingyue hugged Zhu Cijiong in his arms as if nothing had happened, so that he didn't have to panic. .

Sun Chengzong didn't pay attention to it so much, he bowed his hands with a vicious expression on his face and said: "The humble minister comes as soon as he goes, the emperor can just go to the study and wait."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and rushed out of the Qianqing Palace like a tiger that chooses to eat someone.

The gang of Donglin party officials outside the palace were making a fuss when they suddenly saw a figure jumping out from the palace gate, followed by an angry roar: "What's the noise? Do you know where this is? Are you trying to rebel?" ah?"

The officials shrank back in shock from the aura of the visitor, and then trembled from the yelling, only then did they realize that the visitor was actually their boss, Sun Chengzong, and everyone immediately stopped talking and did not dare to make trouble.

They all muttered in their hearts: "Didn't it mean that Mr. Sun doesn't want to take care of this matter? Why did he suddenly come out to curse people?"

Seeing that all his colleagues were afraid to make trouble anymore, Qu Shixu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Sun, are we trying to persuade the emperor not to trust the villain? One million taels to build a military factory is thanks to what Xu Guangqi said!"

Sun Chengzong was so angry that he pointed at his nose and scolded: "What do you know about military affairs? Are you stupid in studying? Get out of here!"

Qu Shixu was speechless after being scolded, so he could only ask his companions for help with his eyes, how could everyone dare to stand out, this is the only remaining leader of their Donglin Party, and they are not so good at fighting against their own bosses.

Sun Chengzong saw that they were still hesitating, so he couldn't help but said coldly: "It's my idea and the emperor's idea to build a military factory, do you have any opinions?"

No one dared to have an opinion, they all shook their heads and said: "No, no."

Sun Chengzong yelled again: "If you don't have that, why don't you get out?"

When everyone heard the words, they immediately got up from the ground and ran out of the palace in a panic, for fear that Sun Chengzong would rush up and beat people if he hesitated.
