Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 502
Some people in the clan are not very successful, Zhu Yunying can say that it is not surprising, such things are really normal.

Just because this is the royal family, we cannot require everyone to be virtuous.The families of civil servants and military generals also have some dudes.Even in ordinary households, there might be one or two incompetent children, which is normal.

What's more, in the clan, most of them were born with the so-called golden key in their mouths, each with a detached status.So it's normal to have some dandyism or domineering.

For this group, ordinary laws are not really restrictive.Don't talk about Zhu Yunying, even the old Zhu loves the people like a son, and the education can be regarded as relatively strict, but among his sons, there are not a few who do evil.

Zhu Yunying seemed very calm, and Zhu Yunying didn't care much about the commotion in the Prince Jin's mansion, as long as it wasn't too much.

What's more, these can be regarded as Zhu Yunying's deliberate actions. It's time for Zhu Jixi, the king of Jin, to rectify the lineage of the king of Jin a little bit.His half-brother, Zhu Jixuan, is a complete villain and villain. Not to mention being stubborn, he is constantly complaining. This is his elder brother who wants to overthrow him.

This is obviously not a good thing, if Zhu Yunying approves of some of Zhu Jiying's actions.When he abolished Zhu Jixuan at that time, it would naturally mean that the king of Jin would fall on Zhu Jixuan who was the first to accuse him of meritorious service.

In this way, it is obviously 'clan restlessness', and maybe other clan children will have some crooked thoughts.

If the eldest brother and even the father can be brought down, they can take their place.This kind of thing is a privilege for many people. Why can you only be a county king or even a general of the country or a general of the auxiliary country? You can have more expectations.

As for Zhu Jiying, let's not say that Zhu Yunying doesn't like this parallel cousin himself.What's more, as an emperor, sometimes he needs to show some courage to tear down Ma Su. What he needs is the stability of the entire clan, not to deal with the internal struggles within the clan all day long.

He has a lot of things to do, but he has no intention of spending more energy on these things.

After writing the letter, Zhu Yunying said, "Send this booklet to Fengyang quickly."

Wang Chengen took the superstition with both hands, raised it above his head and slowly stepped back a few steps before turning around.This set of movements was smooth and smooth, even though Zhu Yunying was reviewing the memorial after handing over the letter, Wang Chengen did not dare to be careless.

Just after telling the little eunuch to deliver the letter, Wang Chengen saw Yan Zhenzhi, "Yan Shangshu, Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. If Shangshu sees you at this time, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded."

"Thank you, Wang Daban." Although Yan Zhenzhi is a minister, he still respects Wang Chengen on the surface. "We have some good things today. His Majesty will be happy to hear it."

Wang Chengen laughed immediately, sincerely happy, "That's a good thing! Your Majesty has not been very happy these days, and the servants are worried when they see it. In the past few days, there is no one who can make His Majesty happy. Is it the hidden mansion? Veteran, you can best share your majesty's worries."

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, Yan Zhenzhi couldn't help laughing.The relationship between him and Wang Cheng'en is pretty good, apart from the fact that Wang Cheng'en is the emperor's personal eunuch, it's more or less because they are all veterans of the hidden residence back then, and they knew each other early, that's also "knowing each other at the end of the day".

Although such a 'minor', it is relatively unattainable.But no matter what, these people are all veterans of Qiandi, and they all accompanied Zhu Yunying to Beiping Mansion to build the imperial city.

The two of them didn't say anything more. After all, there are still business matters, and these business matters cannot be delayed.

What's more, the two of them are actually very clear, even though they are both veterans of Qiandi.It's just that Wang Chengen is an eunuch after all, and Yan Zhenzhi is a foreign minister. If the relationship between these two people is too good in private, the emperor will definitely not be happy.

So it is better to keep a certain distance. Wang Chengen understands such a truth, and Yan Zhenzhi and others will naturally understand some of the tricks here.

With a powerful emperor, let alone eunuchs and foreign officials, even among the officials, getting too close is not necessarily a good thing.For example, Ru Yu and Yan Zhenzhi, they are both old ministers of Qiandi, and they are also trusted and valued confidantes of the emperor.

But these two are officials and ministers, they know better than anyone else that they can't get too close.Otherwise, it is forming a party.At that point, the current scenery might turn into a reminder.These veterans actually know what kind of character they are today.

Wang Chengen still returned to the Hall of Martial Arts, and naturally helped Yan Zhenzhi to report.Zhu Yunying didn't even raise her head, just meet her directly.

"There's no need to be too polite." Zhu Yunying said directly, "Zhen Zhi, I'm asking to see you today, but is there something important?"

Yan Zhenzhi's character is "Zhenzhi", which is also the name changed by Lao Zhu.It is not a humiliation to use a character as a name. It is also a kind of grace to Yan Zhenzhi, and it is an honor.

Yan Zhenzhi immediately said, "Your Majesty, the Longjiang shipyard has said that new sea-going ships can be built. The Fuchuan at the Quanzhou shipyard is joined by the Huang family. Plowing. The ship is equipped with firearms, big and small firearms such as Dafa Gong, bowl-mouth guns, bird-beak guns, and spray guns."

This is really good news. Although Zhu Yunying has always attached great importance to oceangoing over the years, the Ming Dynasty has indeed not stopped building some large ships that can go oceangoing over the years, further improving the blessing ships that existed in the Song Dynasty perfection and improvement.

Some shipbuilding families such as the Huang family in Quanzhou were also introduced, naturally for the purpose of better building ocean-going fleets.

The current Fuchuan is a sailboat with a pointed head, a wide tail, and two upturned ends. Fuchuan can also be called collectively.In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there were such single-keel sharp-bottomed boats, but the names may be slightly different.

Yan Zhenzhi immediately took the memorial and began to introduce the situation to Zhu Yunying.

No. [-] and No. [-] are both named Fuchuan, which can be said to be the main battleship.No. [-] sentry boat and No. [-] winter boat; the sentry boat and winter boat are smaller than the blessing boat, which is convenient for attack and pursuit.No. [-] bird boat, No. [-] clipper boat, bird boat and clipper boat are also called wave boats, and wave boats are smaller, which is convenient for sentry.

It's just that even No. 50 and No. [-] seem to have a draft of only three or four feet, but they can accommodate thirty to fifty people, which is not small.

What's more, the ship is now equipped with some firearms.Even like some bowl-mouth guns, this kind of small artillery has no sights, and has a short barrel, slow rate of fire, and short range.

It seems that it is not very useful, but if there is a naval battle, it will still be very useful.What's more, this is also a kind of scientific and technological progress, which is a process of continuous improvement.

In fact, these bowl-mouth guns have been around for a long time, and they existed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the current bowl-mouth guns are also being improved.Compared with the bowl-mouth guns in the late Yuan Dynasty, the current bowl-mouth guns are more durable, more powerful, and have a longer range.

This is not just about some benefits brought about by the granulation of gunpowder, but also because a large number of small artillery, and even large artillery, are now equipped to solve some recoil problems. This is not simply moving the cannons to the ship. When fired at the same time.

Although there are only some guns that are not particularly large now, and only a few wheels are installed to reduce the recoil, Zhu Yunying is also very satisfied, and his continuous investment is valuable.

Seeing Zhu Yunying's happy face, Yan Zhenzhi knew that he had once again completed the task assigned by His Majesty very well.Regardless of the fact that the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry seems to be the lowest among the six Shangshu, the other dynasties can be ignored for the time being, even the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry during the Hongwu period was lower than other Shangshu.

However, in the Yingshi Dynasty, he was a minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he had always been the emperor's confidant and minister. His status was unmatched by ordinary ministers.

The memorial can be approved later, Zhu Yunying is still focusing on his sea ships, which is his favorite.

Yan Zhen has always attached great importance to this matter, naturally because he knows that Emperor Yingshi attaches great importance to Yuanyang.Leaving aside some spices and precious stones in Nanyang, the silver mines in Dongying are an important source of silver, which cannot be ignored.

The imperial court has been making arrangements in Nanyang over the years, sending out a lot of spies or envoys, etc., and they have a very thorough understanding of the Nanyang countries.Many people can also guess that as long as everything goes well, it will be a matter of time to mobilize troops in Nanyang.

Without some huge fleet, it is obviously impossible to complete such tasks. The fleet of the Ming Dynasty seems to be powerful, but it may be a bit difficult to launch some wars of destroying the country from the sea.

Zhu Yunying was in high spirits, which was probably one of the joys of being an emperor.It's not Sannomiya and Sixth Court, it's simply that one's own will can be well implemented.

After listening to the progress of the construction of the sea-going fleet, Zhu Yunying was indeed quite satisfied.This matter is not just started now, it has already started before and after Zhu Yunying's ascension to the throne, and now it is only said that the phased results have already appeared.

It’s okay to say that it’s earlier, Zhu Yunying commanded the Daming Navy more than ten years ago, isn’t it just for the moment like now!

Zhu Yunying felt even more happy that her own efforts had paid off.Maybe he also changed some things again. For thousands of years, Chinese civilization has been used to land civilization, or now he is starting to go further to start ocean civilization.

It cannot be said that now is the complete arrival of the age of great voyages, but Zhu Yunying has some confidence.As long as he sets the tone and let the people of Daming see more benefits brought by the ocean civilization, the people of Ming will have more enthusiasm for the sea.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunying became even happier.
