What's going on? !
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely covered.
No... is this the end?
This...is this too fast? !
Zhu Yuanzhang was at a loss.
What happened now was completely beyond his expectation.
This was something he had never thought of before.
After watching it for so long, he finally saw the content of Zhu Gaochi becoming emperor.
Next, I also want to see how many things Zhu Gaochi, the eldest grandson, can do in the future?
Will it make the Ming Dynasty better, or will he come up with some more confused policies in the future as he becomes emperor longer and longer?
Making Ming Dynasty worse.
But the result... No matter how I thought about it, I never expected that the final result would be like this.
So unexpected, so sudden!
Even according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he was stunned by what happened suddenly.
This...why was Zhu Gaochi so short-lived? !
In other words, after looking at it for so long, he has become accustomed to Zhu Gaochi's poor health.
After all, this child has been fat since he was a child and looks like he is not in good health.
But after so many years, it can be said that there are constant minor illnesses and no major illnesses.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he should have a good lifespan.
But who would have thought that suddenly, a big one would come to him!
If people say it’s gone, it’s gone.
This... Damn it, it's too unbelievable and surprising!
He began to count here, from the time Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne to the time Zhu Gaochi passed away.
Then he discovered something that made him feel particularly dumbfounded.
Zhu Gaochi... actually took the throne for ten months, and then he disappeared? !
This...this damn thing!
He had heard people read history and heard that being an emperor was short-lived, but he never thought that his grandson could be so short-lived as an emperor!
It would be fine if it lasted for three years or two!
As a result... After being a prince for such a long time, he finally became the emperor, and in the blink of an eye he was gone...
Zhu Yuanzhang could not calm down for a long time.
I just feel full of absurdity and astonishment
Then, I wonder why the descendants of future generations seem to be inferior to each other.
Even if he couldn't compare to his own grandfather when it came to running the country and fighting wars, he was also far behind when it came to giving birth to a son.
As a result, now, even his lifespan cannot compare with his own!
He lived to be more than seventy years old and died, and the fourth child lived to be sixty-five years old.
Zhu Gaochi looks like he is in his forties now.
This... is really inferior to every generation!
He was only fourth, less than a year later than his father.
This... is so damned, people don't know what to say.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart suddenly became excited again.
Because he discovered that now there was another very fatal thing before him.
This matter is nothing else, it is also the Ming Dynasty's issue of succession to the throne.
And whether there will be civil unrest.
Originally, he felt that everything was settled.
As Zhu Gaochi becomes emperor, the dispute between him and Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu will come to an end.
They will live a good life separately from now on.
But who would have thought that Zhu Gaochi's life span would be so short.
He had only been emperor for ten months and he was gone.
Under such circumstances, this serious problem was once again placed in front of Daming.
Zhu Gaochi is gone, but Zhu Gaoxu is still there.
And he is still in his thirties and forties.
The key is that it would be easier to tell if the prince, Zhu Zhanji, was in the capital.
Without waiting for Zhu Gaoxu to hear the news of the emperor's death, they could let Prince Zhu Zhanji ascend the throne, inherit the throne and become emperor.
Thus, the final word was finalized and the matter was settled.
Zhu Gaoxu lost any chance.
However, judging from the information he got from the simulator.
At this time, Zhu Zhanji, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, was not in the capital, but came to Yingtian with some people.
Prepare many matters to move the capital south again.
From Yingtianfu to Peiping, it's a long way to go.
From Zhu Zhanji's stay in Yingtian Mansion, he received the urgent report from Peiping, and then quickly set off back to Peiping to take charge of the overall situation.
This comes and goes, at least it will take ten or twenty days.
Such a long time was enough for Zhu Gaoxu to react in many ways.
Zhu Gaoxu is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
He has always wanted to compete for the throne.
In this situation, wouldn't it be that God had sent another particularly good opportunity to him?
He felt that Zhu Gaoxu would most likely not tolerate it anymore and would take action.
After all, this Zhu Zhanji is his eldest nephew, not the same as Zhu Gaochi.
Zhu Gaochi is his serious eldest brother. Although he has been fighting for it, this right of elder and younger is here.
Moreover, as the prince, Zhu Gaochi did have some means.
So many civil servants and military generals admired him.
Coupled with the twenty years of supervising the country, all aspects of rights have developed particularly well.
Under such circumstances, the throne and the Ming Dynasty can be said to be impregnable to him!
Even if Zhu Gaoxu wanted to compete with him, he couldn't!
But Zhu Zhanji couldn't do it.
Zhu Zhanji's time as crown prince was too short, and he was not as prestigious as his father Zhu Gaochi.
In addition, the time since the death of the fourth child was also a bit long.
The influence is gradually disappearing.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Gaoxu would most likely be tempted to take action.
What's more, Zhu Gaoxu was the one who followed his father and participated in the Jingnan War.
During the Jingnan period, it was the uncle who beat his nephew and robbed him of his empire.
Now, the same choice appears again...
With Lao Si, a father, who has personally set an example, I'm afraid... Zhu Gaoxu will not be able to bear this temptation.
There is a great possibility that they will take action to rebel.
If you are not careful, Ming Dynasty will bleed into a river again.
The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Yuanzhang felt that what he thought was most likely true.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had a bad fate.
Not long ago, when he saw how Zhu Gaochi dealt with Zhu Gaoxu, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt that there would be no more civil strife in his country.
The human tragedy of fratricide will never happen again.
But now, the heart that had just been put down was raised again.
And I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that...the quarrel between uncle and nephew is a kind of curse of my Ming Dynasty?
In other dynasties, most of them were father and son fighting.
As a result, when we came to our own Ming Dynasty, the relationship between father and son who became emperor was mostly very good.
At least the prince would not think of rebelling against the emperor.
The uncle and nephew are at odds!
After sitting here for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but sigh and turned off the simulator that had been cooling down.
The mood is not good at all.
There is absolutely no joy like when I finished simulating the life of the fourth child.
Because he found that the civil strife in Ming Dynasty had not been completely resolved.
Instead, it became more serious.
Secondly, Zhu Gaochi did a lot of things after he became emperor, and none of them were in line with his wishes.
It made him feel that the descendants of future generations would not be able to be emperors.
He is too soft-tempered and does not have the spirit to fight externally.
I can only think about maintaining my status and living a stable life...
After sighing, he remembered Mei Yin's deadly admonishment to him before that.
He said that the vassal system would bring many harms to the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang is becoming more and more convinced of this.
Why would there be so many uncle-nephew disputes after the Ming Dynasty?
Among them, the biggest reason is that because of the vassal system, the vassal kings have great power in their hands.
Especially military power.
This can become a particularly destabilizing factor.
Although Lao Si became the emperor, he continued to cut down the vassal vassal.
The power of the feudal lord was reduced again and again.
But this cutting method was only carried out on the brothers and nephews of the fourth brother and others.
For his biological son, the intensity was not particularly strong.
Especially for Han King Zhu Gaoxu, his son who made great military exploits.
Zhu Di's efforts to reduce the vassal status were even less intense.
At this time, he still has the three bodyguards of the feudal king...
"Damn it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but cursed.
The more he simulates it, the more he realizes how important the bastard Mei Yin's admonitions to him before this are.
Facts have proved that Mei Yin was right about many things.
This guy is not talking randomly, but he is truly far-sighted.
Being able to see the hazards.
What's more valuable is that he can not only see the harm.
It can also provide some very feasible solutions.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but think of the method Mei Yin gave to deal with the feudal king before.
Suddenly I felt that this was the best way to seal the vassal from outside.
In the future, when the Shipping Department develops, Ming Dynasty will learn more and more about the outside world.
After the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were completely wiped out, I could think about entrusting these sons to other countries.
In this way, we should be able to avoid the frequent conflicts between uncles and nephews.
Thinking of these, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a lot better...
[The candidates that the host can imitate next time are Jin King Zhu Fan, Ming God of War Zhu Qizhen, and Qi King Zhu Su. 】
Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking this, he suddenly thought of the mechanical sound again, thinking of the simulator he had just turned off.
Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly opened it and saw from above what the system just said.
It seemed very unexpected.
After simulating the people who can be simulated on the simulator, a new candidate for simulation will soon appear. Next time, you will still be allowed to choose one of the three. Zhu Yuanzhang had known this for a long time.
Moreover, over the past few days, he has gradually felt that he has figured out some patterns.
But now, seeing this new candidate, he still felt a little surprised.
He's actually his seventh child?
At first, he thought that the new candidate might be his fifth son, or it might be Mei Yin.
There is also a possibility that Zhu Zhanji will be a descendant of the emperor in later generations!
But no matter how I thought about it, I never expected that an old man would pop up at this moment!
Could it be that...this is also because Lao Qi will do some extraordinary things later, so Lao Qi is included in the candidates for simulation in advance?
Directly surpassing the five and six people?
The more he thought about it, the more Zhu Yuanzhang felt that this was probably the case.
When such thoughts appeared in his mind, he soon felt that it was natural.
He is still confident about his ability to teach his son.
Don’t you see that Biao’er, Lao Si, and Lao San are all very good people?
The second child is a bit of a bitch, although he is a bit inhumane.
But his ability in foreign campaigns and other matters is indeed strong.
And Lao Qi's performance in the main hall was quite good.
In my own place, I have always been quite well-behaved.
Biao'er, the girls, and the others also praised him to themselves several times.
From what I have seen and heard, Lao Qi is very capable.
In this case, Lao Qi will surpass Lao Wu and Lao Liu and appear on the list for simulation in advance, which can make people understand.
Thinking like this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became much better again.
The depression that appeared because of Zhu Gaochi dissipated a lot.
He is now eagerly looking forward to the next simulation.
At that time, I can watch what an outstanding descendant can do.
Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it!
……
“Call us Tao Wanhu!”
Zhu Yuanzhang closed the simulator and calmed down.
Such orders were quickly issued.
As soon as his order was issued, someone immediately followed the order.
Not long after, Tao Chengdao appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
At this time, Tao Chengdao lost half of his hair.
There are also some burns on the face, and the left leg seems a little awkward when walking...
A very miserable look.
Zhu Yuanzhang was already quite accustomed to Tao Chengdao's appearance.
After all, tinkering with firearms is a dangerous job.
And he has seen Tao Chengdao many times over the years, but rarely sees Tao Chengdao without any injuries...
"What happened this time? Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
After seeing Tao Chengdao like this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked?
Hearing this, Tao Chengdao smiled sheepishly: "Reporting to the superior, my subordinates were not careful, then... that thing exploded...
However, these are commonplace, nothing serious..."
"You must take good care of your body and be careful when doing these things.
From now on, our Ming Dynasty will continue to guide you in developing firearms! ”
When Tao Chengdao heard this, he suddenly felt warm in his heart.
The superior, he has himself in his heart!
At that moment, he quickly said: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, I'm sorry.
Wei Chen has a tough life and is not someone who can leave easily.
I have been dealing with this gunpowder for most of my life.
Although many things happened, I never encountered any fatal danger.
Wei Chen must work hard to come up with more and better firearms. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then took out a box.
He handed it to Tao Chengdao.
Tao Chengdao hurriedly reached out and took it.
However, I didn't dare to open it.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words and asking him to open it, Tao Chengdao opened it.
After seeing what was inside, I was stunned for a moment.
He can naturally tell what this thing is.
Although the shape is very weird, it is very different from the fire blunderbuss he made here.
But it can also be seen that this is indeed a firecracker.
"Your Majesty, this...is this a new type of firecracker?"
he asked aloud.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, it is the new fire gun!"
After receiving Zhu Yuanzhang's approval, he quickly looked at it and quickly discovered more differences.
His body couldn't help but tremble.
He looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, could it be that... this is a fire gun that can be triggered directly with a fire knife and flint, without the need for fuses and fire breakers?"
He had already seen the fire sword and fire sickle on it.
Coupled with what Zhu Yuanzhang told him before about using fire knives and flints to activate muskets, he was deeply impressed.
So I remembered it immediately. Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes, that's it!
Come on, let's find a place to try the gun. ”
When Tao Chengdao heard this, his heart became increasingly restless.
Many enlightenments arose in my heart.
It turns out that using a flint and fire sickle to activate a musket was actually done using such a device!
It's not like he thought, holding a fire knife and flint in his hand to inspire.
Instead, he directly loaded the flint into the musket.
I see!
He is already convinced that this flintlock gun can be used now!
Otherwise, the superior would not have called him over, but would have directly given him the gun and told him to try it out.
This result is really surprising and exciting.
At that moment, he was busy following Zhu Yuanzhang.
The flintlock gun in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand was brought back by Zhu Biao from Mei Yin.
It was Mei Yin who asked Zhu Biao to bring it back.
He took out the flintlock gun so that it could be converted into corresponding combat power and equipped on a large scale in the Ming army.
Improve the national power of Ming Dynasty.
Since this is the case, after getting it out, it is naturally impossible to just keep it in your own hands and preserve it.
He must give it to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Only after he personally feels the usefulness of this flintlock gun can he expand production and equip it in the army.
Soon, they arrived at the place where they were testing the gun.
Tao Chengdao glanced around, preparing to find gunpowder to fill it.
He's the expert here.
If Your Majesty wants to test the gun, it must be loaded with gunpowder.
He must be needed to install the gunpowder.
You can't just let your Majesty pretend, right?
As a result, I looked around and found no gunpowder.
He was stunned for a moment.
This... there is no gunpowder, how can you test the gun?
Just as he was thinking this, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang opening a small box from the side.
He took out a small, pointed, metal object and hung it on his waist.
Underneath this thing, there is a base that can fit well on the belt.
There is a relatively sharp bulge on the top.
After finishing this thing, Zhu Yuanzhang took out a small paper tube from another box.
Put it on the sharp protrusion and hit it like this. A hole was immediately opened and some gunpowder flowed out.
Zhu Yuanzhang pushed it into the flintlock gun.
Then he took out a small spoon, scooped out a small spoonful of gunpowder from another small jar, and placed it in the small groove under the flint.
In this way, you are ready.
Hold it in your hand, aim at the target in front of you and pull the trigger, only to hear a bang.
The flintlock gun has been activated, and the bullets are flying out amid the smoke!
Hit the target right in front!
Seeing such a scene, Tao Chengdao's eyes widened!
Musket...can you still do this?
This... is really amazing!
It turns out that it is much more convenient to use fire knives, flints and other things to activate muskets than fire knives!
Not only is this design ingenious, but the idea of loading the gunpowder pellets into a small paper tube and pushing them into the barrel together with the paper tube for shooting is also particularly ingenious.
Although it is only a small change, in his opinion, it is indeed of milestone significance.
At this time, Tao Chengdao felt like his whole body was electrified.
Not to mention how excited it is!
He just felt that there were countless thoughts flowing through his mind at once.
Very good!
The significance of this thing, to him, is simply more important than being made a count.
It makes him even more excited and happy.
"Your Majesty, who did this...?
This is too genius!
This kind of structure is really ingenious! ”
Tao Chengdao's voice was full of excitement and admiration,
He is not a person who likes to say complimentary words very much.
Especially when it comes to firearms, he is an expert in this.
He has always been the only one who can make useful firearms and amaze others.
Firearms made by others can't even catch up with him.
Naturally, there will be no exclamation.
But it's different now.
His whole body received an extremely strong shock.
"Is that so?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tao Chengdao and asked.
"Okay! It's really, really good!"
Tao Chengdao praised him repeatedly.
"This is what our son-in-law did.
He is the current Shuang Shui Bo.
The greatly increased power of gunpowder from before was also the method he thought of. ”
It's actually him? !
After hearing who Zhu Yuanzhang said he was.
Tao Chengdao's whole body was shocked by it, and he seemed extremely unbelievable.
This was someone he had never thought about before.
Tao Chengdao focused on firearms and didn't care much about other things.
In the past, I had heard some news about Mei Yin.
It is said that Mei Yin did not know whether to live or die, and gave His Highness a life-threatening admonishment, which offended his superiors.
He was demoted by his superiors to a remote rural area to farm and feed pigs.
Later, the Queen showed great kindness and married the Princess to him...
But it seems that he is still unpopular with His Majesty...
Apart from these, there is nothing else...
In his impression, Mei Yin's consort was a very miserable person.
I don’t know why, but I do those bastard things.
Before, I had never heard of him having any talent in firearms.
As a result, now, he suddenly heard the superior say that together with the gunpowder that had greatly increased the power that he had been so impressed with before, including the current flintlock gun.
There was also the method of loading the gunpowder and projectiles first, and then loading them into the musket. After he figured it out, you can imagine the shock in his heart!
The contrast here is really too strong!
After being surprised, he was immediately filled with joy.
"No wonder Prince Consort Mei can become your majesty's son-in-law, he turns out to be such a talented person.
Your Majesty, I am a humble minister...can you go and ask for an audience with the Prince Consort? ”
Tao Chengdao, the Ming Dynasty's number one firearms expert, had a shocking reversal in his attitude towards Mei Yin in a short period of time.
When talking about Mei Yin, his attitude was respectful.
He is about to transform into Mei Yin's chief fanboy.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Of course you can.
When you get there, let him teach you how to make this flintlock gun.
You should also learn this matter carefully.
In the future, my Ming Dynasty will make flintlock guns on a large scale, as well as these custom-loaded bullets. ”
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Tao Chengdao was overjoyed.
For him, this is more important and attractive than many things.
I just wanted to set off immediately and go to Shuangshui Village to meet Mei Yin.
Especially after hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words that he wanted Consort Mei to teach him how to make a flintlock gun, he became even more happy.
Thank you very much.
"He also built an artillery over there, called the Hongwu Artillery, which is also very powerful.
The farthest one can go nearly twelve miles.
When you got there, you also asked for advice.
In the future, my Ming Dynasty will also need to produce it as soon as possible.
Moreover, this artillery is still a top priority.
To get in line before the flintlock musket.
Make it as fast as you can.
This matter is a huge secret.
Next, we need to use some reliable hands to do it.
Don't let any news leak out! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang solemnly confessed to Tao Chengdao.
This Hongwu cannon will be a great weapon for him to destroy the pirates next.
Naturally, it must be kept strictly confidential.
Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Tao Chengdao became even more surprised and excited.
Originally, his attention was all on the flintlock gun and the fixed bullets.
I just felt extremely surprised and suddenly enlightened.
Suddenly I saw a lot of things about firearms that I had never seen before.
Who would have thought that the superior would actually talk about a cannon with an exaggerated range?
That was really surprising and joyful!
Before that, even if his superiors told him personally that artillery could shoot such a long distance, he didn't really believe it.
I feel like this is simply impossible.
But now, with the flintlock rifle and the fixed bullets in front of him.
He truly believed what his superior said.
The talented prince-in-law, whom he had not yet met, had completely conquered Tao Chengdao through his actual actions.
This consort is really talented!
What he did was beyond human imagination.
His talent and research on gunpowder are far beyond his comparison.
Although this artillery sounds very unexpected, it doesn't seem real.
However, it was Mei Consort involved, and he really believed it.
"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Mei...are you willing to talk to Wei Chen?"
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang hesitantly and asked.
As an expert in this field, he knew very well how precious these things that Mei Consort made were.
That is something that can be passed down forever and benefit future generations.
Even for a person like him, after hearing this, he had some thoughts that he wanted to cover up and not let others know...
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and said: "Just rest assured about this, it's no problem.
Just ask. ”
When Tao Chengdao heard this, he became happy and full of expectations!
Here he said some words to Zhu Yuanzhang again. After Zhu Yuanzhang made some special explanations, Tao Chengdao said goodbye to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang also returned to Wuying Hall and continued to handle government affairs.
Thinking about Tao Chengdao's reaction just now, Zhu Yuanzhang was still in a good mood.
Seeing that Tao Chengdao was so excited because of the things that his son-in-law, Mei Yin, made, even though he, the father-in-law, didn't say much.
But I feel good in my heart, and my face is bright.
Does he know how arrogant Tao Chengdao was in making firearms in the past?
But now, what his son-in-law did to him made him look like this.
It's strange that he's in a bad mood!
Think about it again, in the next Ming Dynasty, you will soon be able to produce enough Hongwu cannons to destroy the pirates, launch a shipping department, and a lot of silver will be put into the treasury.
Zhu Yuanzhang's mood became more and more wonderful.
Fortunately, I have a sharp eye and I have long noticed that this bastard Mei Yin is not an ordinary person, so I married my daughter to him!
After Tao Chengdao returned home, he became more and more excited as he thought about it.
There was no time to clean up, so I grabbed two pancakes and hurried out of the house.
After leaving the city, head towards Shuangshui Village.
Even at this time, it was already evening.
He didn't pay attention either.
After seeing the flintlock gun and hearing from His Majesty the Hongwu cannon, which was even more powerful, his heart could no longer rest assured.
He forgot about things like not rushing at night and danger...
Tao Chengdao was not the only one who was excited today.
Liu Bowen, who is sincere, is also in a good mood.
Extremely excited.
He made a bowl of wine and two side dishes, and sat here drinking slowly.
It's delicious, and I'm in a good mood.
I really saw it right!
Mei Xiaoyou is beyond comparison with ordinary people!
Didn't you realize that this was only a short period of time, and the superiors had already given Mei Xiaoyou the title of earl?
This is the earl!
At a young age, one can be made an earl.
I don’t know how many people I have surpassed. My grandson-in-law will definitely have a bright future in the future!
Finally, I don't have to worry too much about my son.
You know, he has been following the throne for most of his life, and until now, his title is just that of a sincere uncle.
It's the same as my grandson-in-law.
Although he was granted the title of Uncle Chengyi, there were some other historical reasons.
But it is an undisputed fact that his grandson-in-law Mei Yin has already caught up with him in just a short time!
The matter of knighthood affects the hearts of countless people
"Mei Yin, this bitch, is actually lucky!
When I wanted to get a knighthood, I tied my head to my belt.
Beaten to death, I don’t know how much hardship I endured, and how many times I almost lost my life.
Only then did he achieve his current status.
As a result, Mei Yin, a bastard, was just farming. When he discovered a good crop, he was immediately made an earl.
This bastard’s good luck is so fucking unfair! ”
In the Yongjia Marquis Mansion, Zhu Liangzu was drinking wine and talking to his son.
"Dad, tell me... is it that the yield of sweet potatoes is not that high at all?
It was His Majesty who wanted to find an opportunity to promote his son-in-law.
That's why I said such words on purpose.
Are you boasting about the sweet potato that you have never heard of before? ”
After hearing what Zhu Xian said, Zhu Liangzu thought about it and felt that what his son said made sense.
Nine times out of ten, this is the truth of the matter...
After the news of Mei Yin's knighthood came out, I don't know how many people envied Mei Yin.
I don’t know how many people cursed him.
There are also many people who have deep doubts about the yield of sweet potatoes,
I think it’s fake...
……
"Father, in a few days, the late sweet potatoes planted by my second brother-in-law will be harvested on a large scale.
The child has already made an agreement with his second sister to help out during the harvest.
Participate in such joyful things.
Father, do you want to come together? ”
After eating, Prince Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said...(End of Chapter)
