Zhu Xu stepped forward, and Cao Wenzhao went to the gate first. 『 In fact, the people in the courtyard had already appeared 2o, and hurriedly opened the door, Cao Wenzhao gave a few words, and a group of people were instantly excited, but they were not chaotic at all, standing upright, as if waiting for Zhu Xu's review.
Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, and the vassal king walked over with an awe-inspiring attitude.
These people were all the old subordinates of Liaodong before Cao Wenzhao, who withdrew from Liaodong for various reasons and came to Cao Wenzhao, and were finally arranged here by Cao Wenzhao.
"The last general will see His Royal Highness King Hui!"
One of them, a fat middle-aged man in civilian clothes, ran over and shouted on one knee.
Zhu Xu knew that this person was a general in Liaodong, but because he offended his superiors, a team was expelled.
Zhu Xu smiled slightly, and said, "Well, it's all hard work, this king asked Commander Cao to reward you with five thousand taels of silver, and give you a vacation in a few days, so you can go to the city to have a fun." ” When he heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for the reward!"
"He was in Liaodong because of the trouble with money, and he didn't come to the capital to make money comfortably.
Zhu Xu waved his hand and strode inside with a wealthy appearance.
There are not many people in this courtyard, but it is a precautionary role, more than 20 people.
As Zhu Xu passed by, they were all happy and respectful.
Before, because of Cao Wenzhao's relationship, they knew that they couldn't offend Zhu Xu, otherwise they would have nothing to eat, but now they know that with His Royal Highness King Hui, they will have food to eat, and they can eat well!
Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu's method of winning people was usually smashed with silver.
He glanced at the fat middle-aged man with a somewhat excited look in his eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Hu Shanhai, you will lead the way." ” When Hu Shanhai heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, I will lead you up, that, the mountain road is not easy to walk, or I will carry you?"
” "No," Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said, "It's okay to take a walk." ” "Yes, yes."
Hu Shanhai walked in front, with the roughness of a soldier and a bit of a philistine, and said as he walked: "Your Highness, on this mountain, it is fine during the day, but at night the fog and dew are heavy, and my feet are slipping, and I have only gone up once." ” Zhu Xu nodded, this arsenal was opened by him privately, not the Ordnance Bureau, so it was natural to ensure the secrecy to the greatest extent.
Yao Qingqing looked very nervous all the way, pursed his lips from time to time, looked up, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and was worried and happy on his face.
Zhu Xu is delicate and expensive, and he doesn't move much when he is young, so he sweats and pants after not walking for long.
"Your Highness, why don't I carry you?"
Cao Wenzhao kept staring at Zhu Xu, and when he saw it, he approached and whispered.
Zhu Xu waved his hand, wiped the sweat on his head, and said, "No, find some martial arts cheats for me when I go back, I want to practice peerless martial arts." ” Cao Wenzhao and Yao Qingqing have followed Zhu Xu for a long time, knowing that he is joking, but Hu Shanhai in front of him shook his head when he heard it and said: "Your Highness, those are useless, if you want me to say, make a wooden man, hold a knife, and cut it every day, it is more effective than anything else." ” Zhu Xu glanced at him breathlessly and said with a smile: "Yes, I'll go back and try." ” Hu Shanhaile smiled, turned his head as he walked, and said: "Your Highness, in fact, you don't have to practice much, and don't do anything anyway, this kind of place is not used in your identity." ” Zhu Xu smiled and said nothing, was protected by the three of them in the middle, and walked towards the mountain step by step.
I don't know how long it took, Yao Qingqing also panted and said beside her, "Your Highness, it's almost here." ” Zhu Xu's small body made him feel that he had never walked so far, and when he looked up, a large courtyard appeared in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's safer that way."
Zhu Xu comforted himself, if it weren't for the fact that there was something called dignity to support him, he would have to lie down and sleep.
It barely lasted for a long time before Zhu Xu and his party reached the courtyard on the mountainside.
Bi Maokang also got noticed, and hurriedly ran out, bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty Bi Maokang greets His Royal Highness King Hui." ” Zhu Xu was out of breath, waved his hand and said, "Okay, this king is here to see, you first catch up with Sister Qingqing, and this king will rest for a while." ” Bi Maokang also saw Yao Qingqing, and saw that Zhu Xu was indeed tired, so he bowed slightly and said, "It's Your Highness, please come with the lower officials." ” Bi Maokang took Zhu Xu into the courtyard and rested in a room, and then he led the nervous Yao Qingqing away.
"Your Highness, drink and sleep."
Cao Wenzhao poured Zhu Xu a glass of water and handed it to him.
Zhu Xu lay there, took a sip, rested for a while, and suddenly sat up reluctantly, and said with great interest, "Let's go, let's go listen to the corner." ” Cao Wenzhao knew that Zhu Xu's bad taste had always been very strong, and seeing that he couldn't stand up, he still said, "Your Highness, let's rest first." ” Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "Hurry up, help me over." ” Cao Wenzhao had no choice, so he had to help Zhu Xu sneak out of the door, touch to another room, and sit quietly under the bed.
In the room, Yao Qingqing and Bi Maokang sat opposite each other, Bi Maokang's expression was slightly condensed, and Yao Qingqing's face was nervous.
"It turns out that you were brought into the palace by His Royal Highness King Hui."
After listening to Yao Qingqing's words, Bi Maokang nodded thoughtfully.
Yao Qingqing nodded lightly and said, "It's not long after you left, Your Highness takes good care of me, and Your Highness's Jinghuan Palace doesn't have many people, I usually cook, wash clothes, and don't have anything else." ” Bi Maokang nodded, His Royal Highness King Hui is only seven years old, what can he do.
It was hard to meet, and he didn't want to dwell on the affairs of the two, which made the atmosphere awkward, so he said without words, "What are the interesting things in the city recently?"
” Yao Qingqing didn't grow out of the palace, unless it was too big, otherwise he wouldn't know, and Zhu Xu's affairs couldn't be mentioned a lot, she thought about it, and said: "The imperial court has raided the illegal traders in the capital, and there are many private collections in each yamen, and His Royal Highness King Hui was ordered to raid all the yamen in the capital, and it is said that there are more than 10 million taels of dirty silver." ” Bi Maokang's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Are you serious?
Bi Maokang is also familiar with history books and has been in the sea for a long time, so he naturally knows the affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
As soon as he heard it, he knew what the imperial court was thinking, and he also knew that the various yamen would definitely be corrupt and corrupt, but he didn't expect that the seven-year-old little highness would dare to do so?
"And then?"
Bi Maokang asked again.
Yao Qingqing shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know very well, but His Royal Highness has been grounded by the queen mother for more than half a month. ” Do it for the ministers!
Bi Maokang instantly had a positive inference about this matter in his heart, the emperor knew about the affairs of various yamen, and did not take action, so he used the hand of His Royal Highness King Hui, and then punished the big admonition, and it was over.
"It seems that His Royal Highness King Hui is not only deeply favored by the queen, but also the emperor's confidant."
Bi Maokang whispered, then raised his head and said, "Then, what is the so-called reason for His Highness to come this time?"
” Yao Qingqing was disappointed when he saw that Bi Maokang didn't mention the matter between them, but after all, he saw it, and with a hint of comfort, he said softly, "You don't know yet, Your Highness's uncle, Master Fu, will soon be promoted to the head of the household." ” When Bi Maokang heard this, his expression was faintly excited, he felt that the emperor had endured for so long, and he would soon be able to control the court and really do his best for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
"Okay," Bi Maokang stood up, walked a few steps, and said, "Your Highness is here to see the firearms, okay, I just happened to have a new one, and I will show it to His Highness later." ” Zhu Xu listened for a while, and shook his head secretly, how did this Bi Maokang make Yao Qingqing wait for him for ten years?

Zhu Xu waved his hand at Cao Wenzhao and got up to go back.
As a result, not long after Zhu Xu came back, Bi Maokang came over, and said with a respectful and excited face: "Your Highness, look at this, I just cast it yesterday."
As he spoke, he handed over a black spear.
Zhu Xu looked at Yao Qingqing, who couldn't hide the grievance beside him, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, he decided that he must study more and be a genius after he went back!
Cao Wenzhao took the spear and fiddled with it in his hand, and then transferred it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu didn't recover yet, but he was still very excited, took it and looked at it over and over again.
With the current craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty, it is still very difficult to cast the smoothbore, so it is troublesome to load, and Zhu Xu can only ask for it to be as short as possible, so as not to be unable to stop the cavalry's charge.
He touched it for a while, still shaking his head, still far from meeting his requirements.
Zhu Xu raised his head and asked, "How far can you shoot?"
” Bi Maokang said: "Back to Your Highness, I tested it last night, two hundred zhang, less than three hundred." ” Zhu Xu frowned slightly, one zhang is almost one meter, that is to say, it is almost more than two hundred meters, and the effective killing is estimated to be less than one hundred meters.
"How's the crosshair?"
Zhu Xu asked again.
Bi Maokang hesitated for a moment and said, "It hasn't been measured yet, but according to last night, it should be uncontrollable." ” Zhu Xu nodded, most of these flints do not have a crosshair, although there is no crosshair, it does not mean that there is no lethality, especially when the cavalry charges on a large scale, the power will be amazing.
Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "The chamber of the gun still has to find a way, the barrel of the gun can be lengthened, and if you want to think of other ways to cool down, try more." ” "Yes, Your Highness."
Bi Maokang also agreed, which is also a problem that he has been troubled with.
Zhu Xu glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "If it's a large-scale casting, how much can you cast here?"
” Bi Maokang was stunned, looked at Zhu Xu and thought about it: "Xiaguan can't cast much here, and when the drawings are perfected, it will be much faster to hand over to the Ordnance Bureau for casting, and one or two hundred strokes a month will not be a problem." ” Zhu Xu naturally wouldn't hand it over to the Ordnance Bureau, so it would be better to tell Zhu Youxiao directly that he was going to rebel.
It seems that an arsenal capable of mass production of firearms will have to be rebuilt. ’ Zhu Xu thought in his heart, nodded and said, "In a few days, I will find a way to get you a red-clothed cannon, and you can study it carefully when the time comes, and increase the power to the maximum." ” A more ha, a typo or something, come back tomorrow to check~~
