Chapter 132

In fact, listening devices have existed since ancient times, such as the listening urn mentioned by Mozi; there is also a military pillow made of leather called "Konghulu" used by the Tang Dynasty army.Let the 'tingzi' with sensitive hearing be used when camping. It is said that 'mortal horses travel thirty miles away, and their ears ring from east to west, from north to south'.

But these are non-directional monitoring devices, which can only monitor the distance of the sound transmitted along the ground. If you want to monitor the speech of people in the distance, there is nothing you can do.

So the listening tube was invented in the Song Dynasty.It is made of moso bamboos cut through one by one, and can be installed underwater, underground, or hidden on the ground or in a room to eavesdrop on people's conversations at close range.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di also combined the advantages of Tingurn and Konghulu to improve the listening tube.For example, the flared toilet next door is actually a radio device...

next door.

King Ming called Guardian Shi to sit down on a normal bamboo chair.

He himself sat on the toilet chair.

One is that the toilet chair is on the left side of the table. It is not the Yuan Dynasty now, and the left side is respected now.Second, if Protector Shi has thorns on his buttocks and takes up the toilet seat when getting up, it would be too shameful.

The third is, how can my own horse let someone sit on it casually?

So just sit on it and rest assured.

Alas, in the final analysis, it is still young people who have no hair on their mouths and cannot do things well.How can the toilet and the chair be combined for the sake of beauty?

Forget it this time, I won't be able to stay for a few days anyway.Next time we do it again, we must let them set up a hut.

King Ming, who had already tasted the sweetness of flushing the toilet, thought so.

"This time I go out, the situation outside is still deteriorating, so Huai'an is the only place where I can breathe." Shi Chenglu's voice called Ming Wang back from his wild thoughts. "If it weren't for the shipment of grain from the east, the villages would have run out of grain."

"Oh." Ming Wang nodded and said: "Huai'an Mansion is the territory of the Water Transport Department of the capital, and we have formed an alliance."

"Really, that's great!" Guardian Shi said excitedly, "The follow-up supplies can be boldly transported from Huai'an here."

"Yes, I have already discussed with the Marquis of Nan'an, but we will wait until after dark." Ming Wang said in a deep voice, "Anyway, hurry up, we have to move ahead of time."

"Oh?" Guardian Shi asked in surprise, "Why?"

"The information from Hufa Cao said that there are various indications that the crown prince will go north to Fengyang in the near future." King Ming said in a low voice, "And this was news a few days ago, and he may have set off by now!"

~~
The wall has ears.

Although King Ming lowered his voice, the brothers next door could still hear what he said clearly.

Zhu Zhen and the others looked at each other, knowing that the eldest brother must have heard the news of their disappearance, and rushed to Fengyang to find someone.

Alas, the eldest brother may be anxious to death... The brothers all feel very sorry.

~~
In King Ming's room.

Hearing King Ming's words, Guardian Shi was also very surprised. "Didn't you say you're leaving next month? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Perhaps the situation in Central Capital has made Zhu Hongwu feel uneasy." King Ming guessed, "We have killed so many people and almost captured the Forbidden City. It must have shaken the court!"

"That's for sure." Guardian Shi nodded.

If the two of them knew that their uprising had been weakened by the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Public Affairs, and when it reached Zhu Yuanzhang, it had become a small riot, and it was not even recorded in the daily notes, what would it be like? Feeling?
"Then, Zhu Hongwu may have come to Zhongdu earlier?" Guardian Shi asked again.

"It's very possible." Ming Wang nodded, guessing: "The crown prince should have called him in the front line. It may not take a few days for him to start his journey."

~~
next door.

The brothers looked at each other again.

What, father is coming too? !

This time their first reaction was, their butts won't be beaten up...

~~
"So fast..." Protector Shi's mouth was dry for a while, although he had been looking forward to the day when Zhu Hongwu came.But when the day really came, it was impossible for him not to be afraid.

"It's not a bad thing, don't forget, although we have only been here for a few days, the brothers have been here for more than a month." Ming Wang said: "This month is short of food and clothing, many people are still sick, and morale has dropped. It has dropped a lot. If it drags on, it will have a greater impact on combat effectiveness."

"En." Shi Hufa nodded and said, "Then I have to go back to Linhuai immediately and check if the digging tools are ready; I also need to get more gunpowder to make sure nothing will go wrong."

"No, you've already been exposed." King Ming shook his head and said, "I'll let Hufa Cao take care of the damage to the embankment, so you can concentrate on the logistical work."

"Alas." Shi Chenglu sighed unwillingly, and he couldn't see the joy in his heart at all.

Destroying dikes is too dangerous. If you can't do it yourself, let the flood wash away first.If you can't rush away, you will face the desperate pursuit of officers and soldiers.

Moreover, it is too detrimental...

He wished someone could do it for him.Then he explained to King Ming:

"Prince Ming, please tell Protector Cao that Han Yi, the magistrate of Linhuai County, is a capable official, and he has done three things since he took office, repairing dikes, repairing dikes, and still repairing dikes! So don't take it lightly."

"Well, I know all of this." Ming Wang said in a deep voice, "Cao Hufa is only responsible for the preliminary preparations. When it's time to do it, I will personally take people there!"

"Use all your strength to beat the rabbit, so nothing will go wrong." Shi Chenglu heaved a sigh of relief, and said with concern: "After the embankment breaks, King Ming must pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry, we will prepare the boat." Ming Wang said indifferently: "And the Marquis of Nan'an will lead his navy to wait at Huayuan Lake. Once the embankment is broken on our side, they will immediately set sail and come to pick us up. Then the fleet followed the flood and went straight to the imperial tomb!"

"Prince Ming is really clever! I'm afraid Liu Bowen can't compare with him." Guardian Shi couldn't help admiring: "Everyone thought that our goal was Zhongdu City, but they didn't expect that our real goal was the imperial tomb!"

"When Zhu Hongwu arrives in Zhongdu, he will definitely go to visit his parents' tombs." King Ming said to himself, "And his imperial mausoleum was built on his parents' original cemetery, which is low-lying. Once there is a flood, it will be built on The central capital on high is safe and sound, but the imperial mausoleum will be flooded."

"What's even better is that all the troops will be on guard in Fengyang County at that time. They never imagined that we will start guarding the empty Linhuai County!" Shi Hufa excitedly said: "All kinds of unexpected superimposed together, Zhu Hongwu How can there be no reason to be invincible?!"

"Hehe, there is actually one more unexpected thing." Ming Wang said lightly: "He didn't expect that he killed Liao Yongzhong and finally forced the Chaohu Navy back. Otherwise, even if we rely on us alone, even if the Seventh Army is flooded, I'm afraid we won't be able to take his life .”

"Yes, yes, yes..." Protector Shi nodded repeatedly, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Can my subordinates congratulate King Ming in advance?"

"Let's talk about it after we succeed." Ming Wang maintained his stability, before moving on to the next topic:

"But no matter whether you succeed or not, staying in Fengyang will only lead to death. So after we set off, you don't go to Fengyang, go directly to Suzhou, find Luo Hufa to contact the old tribe of King Cheng, and the gang of anti-Zhu Landlords in the south of the Yangtze River in Hongwu. I will also go south as soon as possible, and when I arrive, I will meet them immediately..."
