"Really?!"
In the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang heard the news reported by his confidant after he came over.
The whole person suddenly became excited.
He seemed extremely excited.
"Are all these things you said true?"
He suppressed the joy in his heart and asked the person in front of him with some disbelief.
I'm afraid that my ears heard it wrong, and I was just happy for nothing.
"Reporting to Lord Marquis, it is absolutely true, it is true!
The villain conducted various investigations and was convinced that Mei Yin, who farmed and fed pigs, started casting cannons there!
Moreover, the casting looks particularly large, and its power must be far beyond that of ordinary artillery! ”
"Okay, okay!"
When Wu Liang heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised and said yes repeatedly.
This is really like having someone give you a pillow when you feel sleepy!
What does it mean to live by one's own fault?
Mei Yin is completely committing suicide!
How dare he privately forge artillery!
This is artillery!
It is far more irritating to people's nerves than a musket, and the crime is even greater!
Before, he was still worried about this piece of shit Mei Yin, but after making a private musket, he would stop and not make any other moves.
I want to catch him at fault, give him a hard blow, and make him feel comfortable, but I'm afraid it's not that simple.
That guy is not that stupid. After making a private musket, he will do even more outrageous things in a short period of time.
Who would have thought that in just two or three days, such a big surprise would come to him!
He actually forged artillery privately here!
Although muskets and artillery are both prohibited items, there is no doubt that artillery is a bigger crime!
It's not something that ordinary people can afford.
Although now, speaking seriously, the role of artillery in battle has become smaller and smaller.
Many artillery pieces were even idle.
But idle remains idle. Artillery is still an important weapon of the country and cannot be touched by ordinary people.
Especially this privately made cannon is definitely a serious crime!
It's better now!
I was a little worried before that just being guilty of making private muskets was not enough for Mei Yin, a man who farmed and fed pigs, to learn a lesson and be punished accordingly.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would come up with another privately made artillery!
This is really a rush to get up!
In this case, I can finally take action against it and let it have a good drink!
This is not because I want to have trouble with him, but because Mei Yin, this bitch, is making himself uncomfortable for him!
In this case, who can blame?
After confirming with this person again and again, everything he said was true and he was definitely not wrong.
Wu Liang directly gave this man a heavy reward.
Not only did he reward them with a lot of gold and silver, but he also rewarded him with another beauty.
His position was promoted by two levels.
This man was so happy that he couldn't even see his teeth, and kept showing his loyalty.
He can talk nonsense, and his family will be loyal to Wu Liang for generations to come.
I will do my best to hurt the Marquis and his family without any hesitation!
After receiving the reward, he walked out with a lot of gratitude.
This man's face and heart were filled with joy.
Not to mention how comfortable I feel!
At the same time, I would also like to express my special thanks to Mei Yin, who farms and feeds pigs.
He even wanted to build a shrine to Mei Yin, so he could kneel down and kowtow if he had nothing to do.
If it weren't for this guy Mei Yin, he would provoke the Marquis in all kinds of ways, which would make the Marquis unhappy.
And he also tried all kinds of tricks to do this kind of thing, so that he could easily catch him.
Can you get such a generous reward from the Marquis and let yourself rise to the top?
Mei Yin, who farms and feeds pigs, is simply his great benefactor!
It is the lucky star in your life!
How can such a person succeed if he doesn't thank him properly?
However, his great benefactor will definitely die extremely miserably in the future.
Even if he is immortal, his skin will inevitably shed.
I don’t know where such a bitch got the courage.
How dare you provoke yourself to marry the Marquis!
I really don’t know how to write the word “death”!
Over the years, few people who have done right by Mr. Hou have had a good ending.
Those on land belong to the Guan surnamed Zhu, and those on the water belong to the Guan surnamed Wu!
There are two marquises in the Wu family, are you just joking in front of me? !
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but shake my head and mourn for Mei Yin.
He is a good prince-in-law of the dynasty, but he does not have half of the power and glory that belongs to a prince-in-law.
They also farmed and fed pigs there.
Now he has offended his own Marquis again and will be targeted by the Marquis.
It's a good life, but you have to risk your life every day to get these forbidden things.
This Mei Yin is really stupid. He wants to die no matter what!
……
After the servant left, Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, held back his joy and thought about how to sing the scene well.
How to take advantage of Mei Yin's doorstep to make this piece of shit Mei Yin as uncomfortable as possible.
Let yourself vent your anger!
Regardless of what kind of methods he uses, this guy Mei Yin is the one seeking his own death this time.
How dare you forge private artillery!
Even if he is Zhu Yuanzhang's son-in-law, it still won't work. Rules are rules, and many people have to abide by them!
Don't say that he is just an empty-headed prince-in-law who is still farming land and feeding pigs.
Even people who are particularly liked by Zhu Yuanzhang will still fail!
……
In Wuying Palace, after Zhu Yuanzhang processed the memorial, he once again picked up the information from Shuangshui Village.
Take it apart yourself, take it out and look at it carefully.
By the way, by now, watching the intelligence from Mei Yin has long become a part of Zhu Yuanzhang's daily life.
If you don't read it, you always feel that a lot of things are missing.
Especially in the past few days, good news has been coming from Shuangshui Village one after another.
Mei Yin unexpectedly came up with a magical weapon such as a flintlock gun.
By changing the loading method, its shooting speed was increased to such a surprising level.
Zhu Yuanzhang has recently been particularly interested in the information about Shuangshui Village and can't wait to hear it.
He was wondering if Mei Yin could come up with some surprises for him.
Let your Ming Dynasty become more prosperous.
But after such thoughts arose in his mind, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile to himself and shook his head.
I feel that I am actually a little too greedy.
It was extremely difficult for Mei Yin to produce such a useful flintlock gun.
How can you ask for too much?
Manpower is limited, even if Mei Yin comes up with this flintlock gun, it seems as simple as eating and drinking.
However, some things just look simple.
If you really do it, it will take a lot of time and a lot of energy.
Far from easy.
This Mei Yin, I'm afraid she won't be able to bring any more surprises to herself in a short time!
In terms of firearms, it is difficult to make anything that can surpass this flintlock gun.
But thinking so in his heart, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately opened it for viewing as soon as he received the information.
After all, there is still some hope in my heart.
Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens.
What if Mei Yin, a good son-in-law, can really accomplish all of this?
Anyway, many things about this guy are completely unexpected.
With such a mood, Zhu Yuanzhang quickly went to see the information.
After watching it for a while, some surprise appeared on his face.
This kid Mei Yin really did not disappoint him.
He actually just made a flintlock gun, such a good thing, so he set his sights on artillery!
He was going to put wheels on the artillery and put the artillery on the ship...
This... this damn thing, what does this kid Mei Yin think?
Why is your brain so flexible?
yes!
This artillery is difficult to transport, which is a big problem!
The larger the gun, the more troublesome it is to transport.
But... what if we put wheels on the artillery?
After adding wheels to the artillery, the artillery has gained legs.
Next, whether it is pushed and pulled by humans, or pulled by oxen and horses.
The speed will be greatly improved.
It is much more convenient and faster to transport.
This is another method that looks very simple, but is extremely practical.
But why has no one thought of this after so many years?
Although the artillery is equipped with wheels, it is not particularly easy to transport.
But compared with before, there has been a huge improvement!
In addition to these, there is another aspect that Zhu Yuanzhang is most interested in now, which is what Mei Yin said about loading artillery on the ship.
Although he had done this a long time ago.
Now the ships of the Ming Navy are also equipped with artillery.
But if Mei Yin can fake a more powerful artillery and install it on the warship, it will be really good.
It was a sight he loved to see.
In the past, this artillery was indeed not very important.
Because it is no longer needed to fight Bei Yuan.
Beiyuan Tatars, two of them are very capable of running.
But from now on, he has already started preparing to reestablish the Shipping Department, abolish the maritime ban, and do business outside.
In this case, this navy is indispensable.
The sea outside is not very peaceful, there are many pirates.
If there is no powerful navy as a deterrent, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to do this Ming business in the future.
Not only doing business, Zhu Yuanzhang also remembered the time when his envoys were beheaded by those bitches from the Japanese country!
It looked like he had given up on this matter.
But in fact, I always remember it in my heart.
It's just that there are all kinds of things to do, and the Japanese country is too far away.
Moreover, there are lessons learned from Kublai Khan’s expedition across the sea when he sent out large armies and suffered disastrous defeats one after another.
Let him never really take action!
Now, Mei Yin is preparing to get a more powerful artillery and install it on the ship.
Then this is indeed a good idea.
If Mei Yin can really come up with a more useful and more powerful artillery.
In the future, it will be better to install it on the warships of the Ming Navy. It will definitely be better if the Ming Dynasty abolishes the maritime ban and establishes a municipal shipping department.
Make many people more honest.
You can do good business with yourself, Daming.
If some things are done well in the future, it may not be possible for him to send a large army to destroy the Japanese country.
Revenge of the past!
Let these barbarians understand that the great power of tomorrow is inviolable!
How dare you be so arrogant and domineering in such a small place?
However, after such thoughts arose, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was not cost-effective.
It's not that I'm worried that I won't be able to defeat those Japanese slaves in the future.
Rather, in his impression, Japan was just an island country.
Most of them are foreigners, too barren, with little to gain from.
And it's far away.
Across such a long sea, if you send troops and horses to attack, it will be easy for you to lose more than you gain.
He doesn't want to do such a loss-making business...
Shaking his head, he shook these thoughts out of his mind.
Zhu Yuanzhang told himself not to think too much.
The most important thing at this time is to take down Wu Liang and the others first, and then reopen the Shibo Division.
It was easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to capture Wu Liang.
But it's not that easy to really catch it.
Because Wu Liang is not only himself, but also Wu Zhen, the Marquis of Jinghai.
Wu Zhen controlled the Ming Dynasty and had many Japanese naval forces.
As for the Japanese navy, most of them were stationed in Chongming.
Going eastward is the vast sea.
If he wants to deal with Wu Liang, he must defeat Wu Zhen as well!
Otherwise, I would only have taken Wu Liang, not Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen will definitely defect, lead his troops to sea, and enter the vast sea.
It’s difficult to deal with him yourself!
The Biwa Navy is the Biwa Navy of the Ming Dynasty!
A lot of equipment, money, food and materials, etc., all belong to Ming Dynasty!
Let it be taken away, it is really heartwarming!
Thinking about it makes people feel so embarrassed!
If it were other soldiers and horses, Zhu Yuanzhang was not worried at all that they would follow his generals in rebellion.
After all these years, he has not been an emperor for nothing.
The many military disciplines of the Ming Dynasty were not established in vain.
It would be difficult for any general to lead a large army to rebel against him.
Or it can’t be done at all!
However, the Biwa Navy was an exception.
How should I put it? Many of these people were the naval forces under their command when I asked Wu Zhen, Wu Liang and others to go and destroy Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen.
As for Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen, although they were all gone, they were defeated by themselves.
But not all their forces no longer exist.
When they were first destroyed, many navymen under Chen Youding and Fang Guozhen saw the opportunity early and fled to the sea in warships in advance.
He occupied some small islands and became pirates.
They have always existed over the years, and as far as I know, these pirates have become more and more powerful
In other words, there are many people in the Japanese navy, and between the two pirates, they are stirred in the same pot.
Although now, some of them have become pirates, and some of them have become the Japanese navy of their own Ming Dynasty.
But the love is still there.
There will definitely be a lot of people in between to make contact.
It’s okay if he hasn’t met a good son-in-law like Mei Yin before.
Now, after being remonstrated by Mei Yin, he realized the sinister intentions of Wu Zhen and Wu Liang.
I understand how much these bitches have deceived me over the years.
The Shibo Division was closed down, but the Japanese Navy still existed.
Under this situation, as two pirates with great maritime power.
It would be strange if they didn't collude with many people in the Biwa Navy and do many things by working together!
Under such circumstances, if he attacks Wu Liang first without considering Wu Zhen and others.
Once the snake is alerted, these people will definitely go to sea!
Will not sit still and wait for death.
In this case, the matter will be very difficult to handle, and the power of the pirates will be greatly enhanced.
Let Ming's water power be greatly reduced and weakened. More importantly, it will also look ugly.
His own face is dull.
Ming Dynasty's plan to reopen the Shipping Department and develop maritime trade will definitely be affected.
Therefore, for this important matter, if he doesn't move, he must hit it with one hit!
Take down the two brothers Wu Zhen and Wu Liang together!
The entire Beiwa navy was blocked there, and every one of them was restrained.
Only in this way can we avoid causing many troubles in our Ming Dynasty just because we dealt with the Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers.
been greatly affected.
Zhu Yuanzhang needs to plan this well.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to look down, and when he saw the back, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.
His face suddenly turned very dark, and some killing intent emerged from his face.
Looks very scared of people.
There was no other reason than that behind the information sent to him, he found something that was unexpected and made him feel extremely angry.
The news was nothing more than that the manpower he sent there discovered something.
Someone is secretly spying on Shuangshui Village!
After they found out, they did not alert the snake, but carried out strict tracking and investigation.
The person who discovered this peeping was from Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang!
After seeing such news, Zhu Yuanzhang looked like it would be a bad thing if he wasn't angry!
This piece of shit Wu Liang is really evil!
I was originally thinking about whether I should give him a little face based on the future situation.
Now it seems that there is no need to save this last bit of face!
He must be shot to death!
This bitch, it seems that the lessons I gave him before were not enough!
He had to use off-board moves before, and he had already given him some warnings and measures.
As a result, how much time has passed now?
This bitch actually wants to do something again!
You dare to send spies to keep an eye on Shuangshui Village over there!
Today, in Shuangshui Village, the prince's personal army is stationed in a hundred households of his own family!
What it means has been conveyed very clearly!
But this bitch actually dares to do this. This is really a suicide attempt!
Don't take your father and son into consideration!
The two Wu Liang brothers have been sitting in high positions for too long!
People are always forgetful. They forget that when they reached such a position, it was not only their abilities, but more importantly, the opportunity given to them by themselves as the emperor.
Deliberately promote them!
As a result, now, one by one has become like this, extremely arrogant and domineering!
Wu Liang really has a way to kill himself!
It’s time to clean up the confidants that I promoted back then!
I can’t miss my old love anymore!
If you think about old feelings again, each of these people will turn upside down!
After thinking about these things, Zhu Yuanzhang also made up his mind.
I decided to give Wu Zhen and Wu Liang a good drink next, take them down together, and solve them completely!
……
In Shuangshui Village, Li Jinglong, Mei Yin and others are busy here.
He ignored many things outside.
I didn't expect that they were just casting guns and cannons, but they had already caused so many things.
So many people are ready to kill them because of this!
At this time, Mei Yin had already finished the mold for casting the red cannon.
All that's left to do is start casting the cannon.
Li Jinglong was on the side, watching his second uncle busy in an orderly manner.
To be honest, I was both looking forward to it and a little worried.
Forging cannons is not an easy job.
It has very complex technology.
It's not something ordinary people can do.
Especially now, the cannon that his second uncle is preparing to cast is actually much longer and thicker than the largest cannon he has ever seen.
One is worth two!
This is even more difficult.
Artillery looks simple, and it sounds simple as my second uncle said.
It's just based on the original foundation, making the cannon bigger and loading more gunpowder, that's all.
He knew very well that if this thing was really done, it would not be that simple.
After reaching a certain level, every step forward is particularly difficult.
Mei Yin was quite confident about this. After all, he had passed the flintlock verification and confirmed that the rewards given by the system were very useful.
The system did not screw itself up.
As long as I follow the knowledge gained from the rewards and follow the steps step by step, there will be absolutely no problem in casting this red cannon.
The effect will definitely be achieved as expected.
When casting red cannons, the most important thing is not these technical issues.
It's a matter of materials.
Nowadays, the cannon is made of copper, which is not easy to explode.
But for today's Ming Dynasty, copper is an extremely scarce thing.
If it weren't for the fact that there were too few copper coins, money would be too scarce.
Zhu Yuanzhang will not issue treasure banknotes.
Under this situation, even if Mei Yin had enough money and a large amount of treasure banknotes, it would not be that easy to obtain enough copper.
After a lot of trouble, we were able to get enough copper.
Mei Yin didn't feel bad at all about spending the money he earned like water.
Firstly, he gets money very quickly now, and he spends it as soon as he spends it.
I don't think anything about these.
To him, it was just a drizzle.
Furthermore, he knew very well that treasure notes depreciated too quickly.
And now, it's because of Zhu Yuanzhang's forced implementation of treasure banknotes.
As a result, what he now earns is basically treasure money.
Under such circumstances, Mei Yin must find a way to spend these treasures.
Only in this way can money be valuable.
It won't depreciate too much or suffer too much loss.
On the other hand, what he did was also a major matter for the country and the people.
He has his own ideals and wants to make Ming Dynasty more powerful through these things.
Under such circumstances, there is no need to care too much about these gains and losses.
Compared with making Ming Dynasty stronger, let alone spending so much, even if it costs more, Mei Yin feels that it is worth it.
He is willing to spend the money!
Next, the copper needs to be melted, and then the red cannon needs to be poured.
This thing seems simple, but it is quite complicated to do.
Fortunately, Mei Yin was rewarded by the system.
And the rewards given by the system are quite good.
As long as he receives the corresponding reward, he will not only be able to understand what to do, but also the corresponding proficiency will be improved accordingly.
Just follow the step-by-step process.
He has strong confidence in these.
……
While Mei Yin was doing these things, Zhu Yuanzhang also started taking corresponding actions.
"Biao'er, please contact the Chaohu Navy secretly.
The Chaohu Navy was in a state of panic after Liao Yongzhong disappeared.
It's time to give them some reassurance.
I think they are quite convinced that you, the prince, are responsible for this. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Biao and gave instructions.
After Zhu Biao heard his father's words, he hurriedly spoke up to accept the order.
Then he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, are you... ready to take action against Wu Zhen, Wu Liang and his brothers?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he heard this and said: "As expected of the boss of our family, I can't hide these things from you.
We just made some moves and you will know. ”
Zhu Biao shook his head: "This is my father, so you don't want to hide anything from your child.
If the father wanted to hide it, how could the child guess it?
However, the Wu Zhen and Wu Liang brothers really need to take action against them. ”
Zhu Biao was not surprised at all that his father was planning to attack Wu Zhen and Wu Liang.
After all, what happened in Shibo Division was shocking to him.
He also knows his father’s character too well!
I really hate being deceived!
Especially my father, who is also concerned about money. A particularly caring emperor who has never been rich.
After seeing so much money, it was taken away by these people, keeping him in the dark.
This feeling is simply unmentionable!
Wu Zhen and Wu Liang would be unlucky as he expected.
"Father, how far are you going to take this matter?"
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Death!"
Hearing what his father said, Zhu Biao's expression changed somewhat.
"Father, is this... not very good? No matter what, both of them are veterans and have made many achievements.
At this time... using such means is a bit...
Zhu Biao wanted to say something for Wu Zhen and Wu Liang to prevent his father from making things too bad!
If possible, leave them alive.
This makes things look good.
The key is that it can also reassure many important nobles.
It is conducive to the stability of Ming Dynasty.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he shook his head and said: "Biao'er, don't plead for the two of them.
Two days ago, I arranged for the people in Shuangshui Village to send in information, saying that they discovered Wu Liang's spies and were carefully investigating the information in Shuangshui Village.
This is obviously aimed at Mei Yin..."
"Father, Wu Zhen and Wu Liang committed extremely evil crimes!
Never let it go easily!
Erchen felt that just by killing Wu Zhen and Wu Liang, there were other things that were not so good and could not serve as a warning.
It would be better to kill the entire Wu family! ”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, Prince Zhu Biao, who was still there just now and wanted to plead for them both, suddenly became serious.
As soon as the conversation changed, he said this to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was somewhat shocked by his boss's change in attitude!
Is this... is this still my family's trademark?
Although he knew that as long as he said something, the matter would involve Mei Yin.
My Biao'er will definitely not intercede for them on this matter.
But I never expected that after saying it, the effect would be so good!
Many times, the person who is unwilling to kill someone is actually more cruel and cruel than the father himself.
This bastard Mei Yin really has a very high status in his heart!
……
"Fourth, you take people to Chongming first."
After Prince Zhu Biao left, Zhu Yuanzhang called King Yan Zhu Di over, looked at Zhu Di and said aloud.
Then he opened his mouth and gave him the task...
"How is it? Are you afraid?"
After telling his fourth son about his arrangements, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Di and asked.
After Zhu Di heard what tasks his father had given him this time, he was obviously a little nervous and a little scared.
However, after hearing his father ask this question, Zhu Di puffed up his chest and said: "Father, the child is not afraid!
It's just a walk around Chongming. I want to see how arrogant Wu Zhen can be!
No matter how arrogant the kid is, he can still take it down!
Make sure that all the Japanese naval forces are prepared to be honest and don't let them escape!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he reached out and patted Zhu Di on the shoulder and said: "Okay! He is indeed our son!
Originally, we were planning to let the third child do this.
But after thinking about it, I felt that this kind of thing was too important.
The third child may not be qualified.
It would be safer for you to take action. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the third and fourth children in his family had been competing with each other, and they even had to compare who could pee farther.
Sure enough, after what he said, Zhu Di felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood for a moment,
"Father, just ask your child for this matter!
Third brother, he is far behind!
Children should be allowed to do this kind of thing!
Just wait and see!
Look at how the child manages things beautifully! ”
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile secretly.
How could this brat beat his father in terms of shrewdness?
At that moment, he told Zhu Di some precautions, and Zhu Di left in a hurry...
After Zhu Di left, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to call Jin Wang Zhu Fan.
"You make preparations first. In a few days, you will go to Longjiang Bao Shipyard.
Check this Longjiang Bao Shipyard carefully.
Wu Liang has been in charge for so long, and we didn’t think much about it in the past.
In recent times, people have been secretly paying attention to it, and they have discovered that there are huge problems inside.
We have lost several of the large ships with two thousand materials inside!
We will notify you in a few days and ask you to go to Longjiang Bao Shipyard to check the accounts at an appropriate time.
Search to death!
As soon as these things are done, those people will definitely jump over the wall.
Even if you don't jump over the wall in a hurry, you can still follow the clues and lead out a string of people!
At that time, it will be very justified for us to take action here.
Originally, we were planning to let the fourth child do this.
But after thinking about it, I think you are still on the safe side! ”
This is an offending job, and it offends these honorable men severely.
It looks simple, but it's actually not simple.
Originally Jin King Zhu Fan was somewhat reluctant to do so.
At this time, when I heard my father say this, the hesitation in my heart suddenly disappeared!
The whole person's chest is so tall!
Beat your chest so loudly that it makes a loud noise.
"Father, don't worry, you really chose the right person to let your child do this!
That guy, the Fourth Brother, is still far behind in doing these things!
The child will definitely do things well next without making any mistakes!
You will never let your father down! ”
"Okay! We believe that the third child in our family will definitely not disappoint his father!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded vigorously and affirmed Zhu Fan.
After Jin Wang Zhu Fan left, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hide the smile on his face,
Like an old fox who stole a chicken...
……
Five days later...
"Hahaha! Mei Yin, this reckless bitch, actually dares to secretly collect copper coins!
And he also melted some copper coins and used them to cast cannons!
Now you can take action against him! ”
Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, laughed happily, feeling that this was a God-given opportunity.
By this time, the time was ripe for him to deliver a fatal blow to Mei Yin! (End of chapter)
