I'm really not doing business

Chapter 391 You can only promise the country with a body of seven feet

The clan culture in the north of the Ming Dynasty is not serious. Compared with the clans in the south that can be traced back to the Han and Tang Dynasties, they are nothing compared to the clans in the Han and Tang Dynasties. People living in the north can hardly imagine the intensity of the collision between the clans in the south, with swords, guns, swords, halberds, Fire guns and armor are everywhere, and fighting is a major headache for governors everywhere.

The clan culture in the north disappeared due to years of war during the long border conflicts. Anyone with some wealth had already settled in the south. For the poor coolies, migration was a desperate journey with an uncertain future. , but for aristocratic families, migration is not a big problem.

For example, Wang Chonggu, Wang Chongyi and other Shanxi merchants all purchased properties and houses of varying sizes in Yangzhou, just to facilitate the southward avoidance of disasters when there were changes in the north. The two emperors of the Western Jin Dynasty were captured. The two emperors were captured, and when the Southern Song Dynasty was established, mud horses crossed the river. Two major southward migrations also blocked the development of clan culture in the north.

Xiong Tingbi was a standard cowherd boy and a poor coolie. Logically speaking, he should not have come into the sight of the Ming Emperor until he passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination.

At this time, Xiong Tingbi stood in front of the emperor wearing armor. This was a very dangerous move. Generally speaking, wearing armor to see the emperor was suspected of treason. Zhou Bo, the founder of the Han Dynasty, brought armor to see Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and was arrested. Get up and have a good investigation.

But the ceremonial officers were only vigilant, rather than stepping forward to knock Xiong Tingbi down, because Xiong Tingbi wore King Lu's five-chapter iron armor.

"In the fourth year of Wanli, Governor Pan recruited local braves to capture bandits. I had the force, so I responded to the order to capture bandits and bandits, and became an archer. Because of my courage, I was sent to the capital to participate in the selection of the capital camp. Because of his young age, he was sent to a school in Beijing. Later, His Royal Highness Prince Lu went through the selection and rehearsal process. I have no rivals at my age." Xiong Tingbi briefly told the circumstances of his entry into Beijing.

In the inspection departments throughout the Ming Dynasty, except for the ninth-grade inspection, the other archers are rewarded. If they catch enough bandits and bandits, they can subsidize their families.

Xiong Tingbi had little courage and made a living by catching bandits and bandits. The Beijing camp also needed to be replaced, so Xiong Tingbi, who was far away in Jiangxia, was chosen.

In short, it was Wanli's strict selection that allowed Xiong Tingbi to appear in the capital and even become King Lu's sparring partner.

The most glorious moment of Xiong Tingbi's life was when he was an enemy of the Dongyi Jurchens in Liaodong. In the Battle of Sarhu, the old slave chief Nurhachi defeated the Ming army. The Ming Dynasty was defeated. Xiong Tingbi still resisted resolutely for three years and moved toward the East Forest Party. He fought to the death with the eunuchs and dismissed Xiong Tingbi. After being transferred, the old slave chief Nurhachi immediately occupied Liaoyang.

Xiong Tingbi was dismissed because of party strife, not because of "losing a teacher and harming the country, pretending to be ill to deceive the emperor". This was confirmed by Emperor Tianqi himself. Emperor Tianqi, who lived in the ninth level, specially gave Xiong Tingbi an imperial edict and stood on the emperor's side. In terms of identity, Xiong Tingbi made a mistake.

He ordered Xiong Tingbi, the right minister of the Ministry of War, to say: I have been your commander in charge of Liaodong for three years, intimidating the barbarians and trying to protect the city. Later, I spread rumors. When the officials heard about the fighting, I ordered the subordinates to discuss it. The ministers did not divide it for me. Please listen. I am now regretting my order to return home. The investigation report has made it clear that the purpose has been put into effect, just in time for the fall of Liaoyang. I have thought about your previous efforts and thought that you would not allow the slaves and thieves to run rampant. At this point, you should remember the kindness of the emperor's summons. Now I am fleeing from foreign troubles in the new year. I reluctantly come out for me. Planning and security.

Emperor Tianqi dismissed Xiong Tingbi for his crime, believing that he was stupid and believed the rumors of the officials. The ministers did not speak to Xiong Tingbi. I have regretted it. Now that Liaoyang has fallen, Xiong Tingbi will be summoned by Emperor Wanli. On the face of En, he once again visited Liaodong.

When Xiong Tingbi was in Liaoyang, the old slave chief, with the power of victory in the Battle of Sarhu, was still unable to do anything to Liaoyang. This gave the Ming Dynasty a few years of breathing space and might not have the strength to fight again. However, the party disputes between the DPRK and China continued, and Xiong Tingbi was transferred. After that, Liaoyang fell immediately.

At this time, whoever goes to the Liaodong battlefield to take charge of the overall situation is bound to die, because he will definitely suffer defeat and will be responsible for the defeat.

Xiong Tingbi was very pessimistic about the situation in the Liaodong war. He wrote to Emperor Tianqi: There is no support from the outside and no help from the inside. The seven-foot body has been handed over to the imperial court, and success or failure is a matter of life and death.

At that time, Lin Dan Khan was driven westward, and the old slave chief held the head of North Korea, making the North Korean monarchs and ministers their grandsons. The Ming Dynasty lost its right and left arm outside the Great Wall. There is no hope, but as long as he has some sense of self-preservation, he will not go into this muddy water again. He was dismissed by the emperor, so he only needs to pretend to be ill.

But he still served as governor of Liaodong and proposed a tripartite strategy.

The core of this tripartite strategy is defense. If the Hulu themselves die and don't attack, will they wait for the other party to commit suicide?

This is Xiong Tingbi's plan to outlast his opponents. Ming Dynasty has the capital to do such a thing.

It is not that the Northern Barbarians have never produced strong men, such as Ye Xian, who even captured the Yingzong Emperor, such as Dayan Khan and Ada Khan, but these strong men are all short-lived and have no stable political structure to support them. This kind of regime is destined to be short-lived. It cannot last long.

Its rise is rapid, and its demise is sudden, so the barbarians have no luck for a hundred years.

The core of Xiong Tingbi's strategy is to stick to the city no matter how provocative the enemy is, not to give the enemy a chance, not to cause greater losses, and to use Ming's health bar to forcefully drag the opponent to death, or to wait for changes. This strategy is Playing rogue, in Xiong Tingbi's view, every time Daming raised a bet, he was raising the opponent's worth.

The biggest problem with Xiong Tingbi's strategy is that he is afraid of the enemy. The world is invincible. How can he use the tactic of shrinking and defending in the face of the rebellion of the old slave chieftain General Longhu and wait for the opponent to collapse?

Therefore, there are many opponents, and of course there are many supporters. The Ming Dynasty's finances cannot make ends meet. Without money and food, no one continues to invest in the Liaodong battlefield. For example, Xu Guangqi, Ye Wang, Ma Yun and others saw the difficulties in Liaodong and supported Xiong Tingbi's strategy. .

This strategy was approved by the emperor and implemented steadily, effectively curbing the expansion of the old slave chiefs. The practice of holding on, waiting for the opportunity, and restoring combat power also made Xiong Tingbi suffer from the reputation of fearing the enemy, and the old slave chiefs scolded him. Xiong Tingbi is a bitch, he only knows how to stick to the city and is not a real man.

When the ministers of the old slave chieftain were shouting: The Ming Dynasty is invincible and the sky is bounded by the land of Liao, the Donglin Party took action!

Donglin Party members never disappoint people when it comes to disappointing people!

Wang Huazhen, a disciple of Donglin party leader Ye Xianggao and governor of Liaodong, shouted: Invite 60,000 troops to fight and defeat them in one fell swoop!

Wang Huazhen led his troops into battle, he went up to A, and he lost.

In the Battle of Guangning, Wang Huazhen was defeated. Guangning, the key place arranged by the three parties, fell into the enemy's hands. The strategy arranged by the three parties immediately failed. Ming Dynasty had changed from passive defense to completely passive in Liaodong.

Wang Huazhen saw that Ye Xianggao couldn't save him, couldn't defeat the old slave chief, and couldn't deal with you, Xiong Tingbi? Wang Huazhen turned to the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, and Xiong Tingbi was eventually beheaded in public and his head was passed down to nine sides.

Xiong Tingbi was beheaded in public, which was a tragedy. It was a scapegoat introduced by the Eunuch Party, Donglin Party, and the emperor for their own sake. Xiong Tingbi already knew this outcome when he agreed to Emperor Tianqi, and there was no outside support. With no help from home, he could only accept the kingdom with his seven-foot body.

Xiong Tingbi is not a Donglin Party, nor is he an eunuch. He has no one in the court. He is from Jiangxia, Huguang, and is considered a member of the Chu Party. However, after Zhang Juzheng passed away and his house was confiscated, the Chu Party has only been left to survive. Liaodong If defeated, Wang Huazhen can appeal to Donglin or even seek refuge with Wei Zhongxian, but Xiong Tingbi can only die.

After the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Saerhu, Xiong Tingbi could continue to block the expansion of the old slave chieftain in Liaoyang. After the Battle of Liaoyang was defeated, Xiong Tingbi could still serve as manager and find a strategy for the Liaodong war. After Xiong Tingbi was humiliated in his quest for honor, the Ming Dynasty In the Liaodong war situation, there was absolutely no solution.

"You can follow me from now on." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and transferred Xiong Tingbi's organizational relationship from Prince Lu's Mansion to his own name, and only paid six beauties from all over the world to his brother. This deal should not be too cost-effective.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty never engaged in loss-making business!

"I obey the decree." Xiong Tingbi bowed his head again and accepted his fate. When King Zhu Yili of Lu handed over the task to him, he had already made it clear: Your Majesty will definitely have a love for talents when he sees your bravery. In troubled times, you should try your best.

Zhu Yirui would not keep such a conspicuous bag of a versatile civil and military talent with him. Such a conspicuous bag would delay Zhu Yirui's enjoyment of the peaceful life of beauties from all over the world.

The only surprise in the whole thing was that the Xiguo Wushuang, who was boasting to the sky, was really vulnerable.

Of course, Xiong Tingbi, who is wearing the Iron Hun Armor of Lu Wang Chapter 5, is completely a krypton gold warrior with full-level divine armor. Takahashi Tonghu also wants to open such a can with a samurai sword. Not to mention Xi Guo Wushuang, even if he is Wa Guo Wushuang, No such ability.

To open cans, especially things like iron gunpowder, you need to use a firearm.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki didn't say a word. His position at this time was that of the Japanese king who was waiting for death in the Ming Dynasty. His past honors and disgrace had nothing to do with him. The Ming vassal ban was high, and Ashikaga Yoshiaki had no power to interfere in state affairs. , so now he can only watch Takahashi Toutora defeated.

There is even some schadenfreude. This mentality stems from the fact that he has been ignored for many years and has been displaced everywhere with no way to seek help. Watching these weaklings suffer is also one of his pleasures.

Takahashi Tongtora looked hesitant, sat on the ground, and took off his armor. Takahashi Tongtora planned to serve honorably, which meant committing seppuku.

This kind of seppuku requires removing the internal organs. Because it is too painful and too troublesome to remove the internal organs, there is often a person who cuts off the other person's head after the knife is inserted into the abdomen. This is regarded as completing the glorious process of righteousness. .

Zhu Yijun didn't stop watching this scene. It was the first time for him to observe Japan's glorious march to justice at such a close distance.

The scene was awkward for a while. Takahashi Tonghu's education told him that if he didn't do it, he would die, but the severe pain from his abdomen told him that seppuku was really painful, more painful than Xiong Tingbi's knee. Much more.

He was a little afraid, he was just here to make a name for himself, and according to the big names, the Ming Dynasty would only send opponents of similar age to fight him.

Daming did send someone of similar age, but he pressed him to the ground and rubbed him.

After hesitating again and again, Takahashi Tonghu put down the short sword in his hand. In the end, he still could not make up his mind. He found a reason for himself. It was not shameful to lose to the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it natural to lose to the people of the Ming Dynasty? Ming Dynasty is the Kingdom of Heaven!

The conflicts between the Japanese and the Ming Dynasty always ended with the Ming Dynasty winning and losing to the Celestial Kingdom. They were not so humiliated that they had to go to justice gloriously.

This reason is so inadequate and yet so reasonable.

Zhu Yijun stood up slightly disappointed, looked at Takahashi Toutora, thought for a moment and said, "Go and take off Oda Nobunaga's head to prove your bravery and wash away today's shame."

Zhu Yijun left. According to the rules of Yiqidu, Zhu Yijun had the right to deal with prisoners of war, but he did not deal with Takahashi Tonghu. This guy was only fourteen years old. According to the Ming Dynasty law, even if it was a serious crime of treason, he would not be punished by clan execution. Those under the age of fifteen and those below the wheel of the prairie will not be killed. They will reach the same destination by different routes.

"I must be the strongest person in Japan!" Takahashi Tonghu shouted at the emperor's back when he left. If he can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, can he still defeat the Japanese? Takahashi Totora's idea is a bit weird, wrong but right.

After Xiong Tingbi left Prince Lu's Mansion, he did not move to the palace, but moved to the Quanchu Guild Hall. This was all arranged by the emperor. Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng to come up with a badge of the Quanchu Guild Hall. From now on, Xiong Tingbi became Zhang Juzheng's Under the door.

Zhu Yijun's move was mainly to let this eleven-year-old child study hard. Xiong Tingbi wanted to practice martial arts and study at the same time.

Tachibana Chiyo eventually became a maidservant, a maid who washed clothes for the nobles in the palace.

Zhu Yijun really has no interest in this twelve-year-old girl. She is just a bean sprout. Zhu Yijun feels that she is not considerate enough. She is indeed not considerate. She has not yet grown up, is too young, and has the arrogance and coldness of Chiyo Tachibana. Zhu Yijun didn't like her temperament either, so he first let her experience the suffering of the people and the sinister nature of the people in the Huanxi Bureau.

If the emperor thinks about it in the future, he will remember it. If he cannot remember it, there will be no future.

Zhu Yijun has always been very receptive to matters like this. For example, the woman surnamed Ran who had already decided to enter the palace and whose whole body was full of restlessness in the family, Zhu Yijun just made her a concubine. Wang Yaozhuo's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Zhu Yijun was also accompanying Wang Yaozhuo during his free time.

Zhou Dingzhi The drama of palace battle that Concubine Zhou De imagined has ended before it even started. His Majesty is really busy, and several concubines have no interest in palace battle. His Majesty is busy with state affairs. No matter who loses or wins in the palace battle, they all lose, because His Majesty did not like the fire in the backyard to involve his energy.

Xiong Tingbi settled in the Quanchu Guild Hall, and his husband would call him to Wenchang Pavilion every day to test his schoolwork. Xiong Tingbi did not dare to slack off, and studied very seriously and completed his homework.

Xiong Tingbi was under great pressure. On the one hand, Zhang Juzheng was strict. On the other hand, he really only attended a private school for two years. The study plan Zhang Juzheng made for him was impossible to finish. The Four Books and Five Classics were okay, but the contradiction said that he could also read them. , only the arithmetic gave him a headache.

This is a great blessing, and Xiong Tingbi does not dare to slack off.

In fact, there is a misunderstanding here. The better Xiong Tingbi's performance, the higher Zhang Juzheng's requirements. Zhang Juzheng knows that Xiong Tingbi is a genius.

According to what King Lu said, Xiong Tingbi had a talent for reading. After a few days of getting along with each other, Zhang Juzheng discovered that Xiong Tingbi was indeed a talent for reading, and he was also very talented in military affairs! Zhang Juzheng naturally wanted to see where Xiong Tingbi's limit was, so his requirements became more stringent.

A master and half a father.

After a few days, Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. Is God so unfair? ! To give a person such an amazing talent for reading, but also to give him a tyrannical force?

Zhang Juzheng sent Xiong Tingbi to the Jiangwu School. In the morning, he had to study at the Quanchu Guild Hall. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Jiangwu Academy to practice martial arts. In the evening, he returned to the Quanchu Guild Hall and had to take exams for school homework. Xiong Tingbi immediately became extremely busy. , the ruined life in Prince Lu's Mansion is gone forever. Zhang Juzheng set a small goal for Xiong Tingbi, first to become a martial arts scholar, and then to become a literary champion.

It was indeed a small goal. It did not make Xiong Tingbi the general of the Ming Dynasty, nor did it make Xiong Tingbi the chief assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion.

On November 24, the seventh year of Wanli, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came to the Quanchu Guild Hall to have dinner in a grand manner.

Feng Bao stood in front of the Quanchu Guild Hall and announced loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"

"The Han Dynasty has a loyal and loyal family. I will give you ten taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver. I will also give you five bottles of national cellar and one hundred pieces of worsted wool. If you have merit in teaching and training, I will give you an additional ten taels of silver." Xiong Tingbi studies and practices martial arts, this is a common practice."

"Appreciate this."

The imperial decree's additional silver reward was given to Xiong Tingbi. These ten taels of silver were Xiong Tingbi's educational funds. As for finding reasons to reward Zhang Juzheng, all the Ming court officials were not surprised. Every month when his Majesty came to have a meal, he would find someone. Reasons, sometimes even without looking for reasons, just copy last month's imperial edict.

Those who can tell Mr. Yan's fault will die, and the head on Xu Jie's neck will be taken off with one knife. This reward and the holy family are nothing.

"I thank you for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng knew he couldn't shirk it. He had tried it many times, so he simply thanked him directly.

"I don't dare to accept rewards without merit." Xiong Tingbi was a little bit surprised that his Majesty came to have a meal, and actually rewarded him extra and gave him such honor.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "Xiong Da, you are right, no merit will be rewarded. This is an investment for me. If I become a talent in the future, if I serve the Ming Dynasty, it will be returned to me. Isn't it possible that Xiong Da doesn't have the confidence to become a talent?"

"I thank you for your grace." Xiong Tingbi's face turned red. He must become a talented person and be worthy of His Majesty's courtesy.

PUA starts from a young age.

Zhang Juzheng is old and Xiong Tingbi is young, but the two of them stood together, which made Zhu Yijun feel very good. This imperial edict of reward was not made up. The reason for his reward was: The Han Dynasty has a loyal and good generation.

There are indeed loyal and good people, but all good and good people died unjustly, seeking honor and being humiliated.

Zhu Yijun killed Xu Jie out of humiliation and anger. According to the original historical line, Xu Jie was right. Xu Jie himself died a good death. Even the old Xu family was still the dominant one in Songjiang Mansion, but after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was liquidated.

Zhu Yijun came to have a meal, so naturally he brought his own cook. He checked the Quanchu Guild Hall by the way and made sure there were no chili peppers. He was very positive about You Qi's work.

"Your Majesty, this matter of opening up sea investment, I really..." Zhang Juzheng, who was rarely able to talk about the previous events, was the author of Public and Private Theory. Faced with Wang Guoguang's stick of public interest, Zhang Juzheng pretended to be confused. .

In life, there are many alternatives. Zhang Juzheng is a party leader. He has to run for the interests of the Chu Party. Zhang Juzheng has never been a moral saint. Zhu Yijun knew this from the beginning.

Zhang Juzheng was a corrupt official. He collected money from Qi Jiguang Bingjing and Tanjing for more than twenty years.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said very relaxedly: "No problem, no problem, I will distribute the benefits."

It is better to have no books at all than to believe in books. The contents of books are of course extremely important. This is an important part of ideological reform, but it is corrupt Confucianism to believe in books at all.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, Xiong Tingbi cannot be in the Quanchu Guild Hall."

"Why not?" Zhu Yijun was stunned, put down the tea cup and asked doubtfully: "As far as I know, Xiong Da's talent should make Mr. Xiong have a love for talents."

"He is just too talented, so he cannot be in the Chu Guild Hall." Zhang Juzheng repeated it again. He knew that the emperor would understand it as long as he thought about it carefully.

Zhu Yijun immediately understood Zhang Juzheng's concerns and said immediately: "No, he is from Huguang and Jiangxia, so he should be in the Quanchu Guild Hall."

Zhang Juzheng was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His status and the things he did determined that his political successor could only be the emperor, otherwise he would be a rebellious and traitorous minister.

"Sir, I am already married and in charge." Zhu Yijun stated his reasons very clearly. Zhang Juzheng has returned to the emperor after Ding You. Now Zhang Juzheng can accept a disciple and find an heir to the Chu Party.

Zhang Juzheng's posthumous name is guarded by Zhu Yijun. The Ming Dynasty's New Deal must be adhered to to the end. As the Ming Emperor, he also needs more help to jointly safeguard the results of the New Deal.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Seeing His Majesty's insistence, Zhang Juzheng chose to thank him.

Sometimes, looking at His Majesty's actions, Zhang Juzheng would also have unrealistic fantasies, that is, after his death, he would really be able to seek glory and be honored. His Majesty bowed his head to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie had already sought humiliation. , I can indeed relax a little and think about myself.

Hai Rui said that Zhang Juzheng worked hard at seeking the country but was poor at seeking a career.

Xiong Tingbi is a tribute and elegy to God for the Ming Dynasty. It is a gift to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Why not a gift to Zhang Juzheng? A native of Huguang and Jiangxia, a Zhongliang with extremely high talents and both civil and military skills.

"That's right." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

The time when Zhang Juzheng returned to power in history was February of the eighth year of Wanli. Zhang Juzheng wrote in the "Return to Government Begging for Rest" and requested to return to power on the grounds that high positions cannot be stolen for a long time and power cannot be retained for a long time.

In the memorial, Zhang Juzheng talked about his commoner background, the kindness of Emperor Longqing, and his loyalty to the country. He had initially achieved peace at home and abroad. Returned to the emperor.

At that time, Zhang Juzheng's examination method had completely completed the obscuration of names on the draft list, filled in the names in the base book, and completely took back the power of personnel appointment to the Ministry of Personnel;

Economically, it has completely become the measurement of land across the country, and has initially realized the return of land;

Culturally, private lectures were prohibited, a number of academic societies were established, and academic politics were rectified;

In terms of military affairs, the number of elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty's capital camp has reached 90,000, and the Spring and Autumn Festival has been inspected.

After reaching this point, Zhang Juzheng decided to bow down and return to power.

It was at this time that the conflict broke out. Emperor Wanli, who was over 18 years old, wanted to let Zhang Juzheng return to power, but Empress Dowager Li only had one sentence: Sir, he will assist you until he is thirty years old, and then we can discuss it.

At this point, it has become inevitable that Zhang Juzheng will be liquidated after his death.

But now, Empress Dowager Li doesn't even ask about state affairs. Zhang Juzheng successfully returned to power in the fifth year of Wanli, and Zhu Yijun has free time to find an apprentice for Zhang Juzheng.

"Some time ago, Gewuyuan cast several cannons. The largest one, a thirteen-pound cannon, weighs about four thousand four hundred kilograms and has a gun length of one foot and two feet. Qi Shuai said that this cannon can be used to defend cities and ships." Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng chatted about the products of the Royal Gwuyuan.

The Thirteen-pound Artillery is just one of them. The range of this artillery is about 1,500 steps. If it is dropped, it can hit ten miles away. Coupled with the explosive shells and delayed fuses, the artillery can tear apart the enemy's infantry. The power has been further strengthened.

The blooming bomb and the delay fuse are an iron shell stuffed with gunpowder. When it explodes, the iron caltrops inside can be scattered into the enemy formation in fragments. The delay fuse is a wooden disk with twelve scales on it, representing The time it takes for the fuse to burn, the longest range is twelve miles, and the hit rate of this artillery is 1,500 steps away, it all depends on God's mood, but the most useful thing about this kind of artillery is its fire coverage.

Thirteen-pound artillery was first deployed in Fushun. Li Chengliang took four in total and fired three times. With twelve cannons, he repelled an attack of more than 300 people.

The field artillery is still mainly the nine-pound double-deck cannon and the artillery of side-carriage tanks, which are completely sufficient at the current stage.

"Even to defend the city, we Ming soldiers don't like to use these heavy artillery, because one shot costs thirteen kilograms, a flat blunderbuss costs four cents of gunpowder, and a bird blunderbuss costs two cents of gunpowder. One shot of this kind of heavy artillery It is enough to fire 520 rounds with a flat gun. In terms of effective killing, the flat gun is more powerful." Zhu Yijun's military talent is not high, and Zhang Juzheng is not much different from the emperor.

A volley of a thousand muskets was enough to kill the three hundred bandits, but with heavy artillery, a total of twelve shots were fired.

He invented an astonishingly powerful artillery piece, but it was abandoned by the soldiers on the front line. Li Chengliang even said bluntly that the copper and iron of these thirteen kilograms of artillery can make five thousand bird cannons and two thousand five hundred flattening cannons. Guns, if Li Chengliang was asked to choose, Li Chengliang would rather not have four 13-pound cannons and choose 20,000 bird guns.

"Ning Yuanhou and Qi Shuai are obviously right. They like heavy artillery and ships very much." Zhang Juzheng also talked enthusiastically about the application of five-masted ocean crossing ships with heavy artillery. , that is, using heavy artillery.

"This thing is good, but it's too expensive. Being expensive is not its shortcoming, it's mine." Zhu Yijun showed a distressed expression that belongs to a money lover. It is really expensive.

This thirteen-pound cannon is limited by materials. Each one costs more than three thousand taels of silver, while a nine-pound cannon only costs three hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver. The cannon is expensive, and so is the gunpowder.

Even as wealthy as the Ming Emperor, he felt extremely distressed when using these things.

The Imperial Academy has achieved many achievements.

For example, the formula for calculating the impact point of artillery. On the battlefield, there is not so much time for you to think about it, so a calculation card has appeared. You only need to enter a few constants to calculate the approximate impact point of the artillery. This It's the use of functions. Similarly, if you want to be an excellent artilleryman, you will never be able to do it if you don't learn arithmetic well.

In order for the Ming Dynasty artillery to fire artillery well, the soldiers in the Beijing camp had to go to school and belonged to the martial arts school.

There has also been development in optical instruments. Daming has its own myopia glasses and reading glasses. These two lenses have become very popular as soon as they are launched. The technology of transparent glass has developed extremely rapidly due to widespread demand. Daming has been able to create sixty twice the telescope.

"Sir, I have something to do and have been hesitating for a long time." Zhu Yijun said with a solemn expression.

"Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Zhang Juzheng asked doubtfully.

Zhu Yijun briefly expressed his thoughts, and Zhang Juzheng was immediately troubled. His Majesty wanted to restore the ancestral law, which was the social studies, or universal basic education, that Zhu Yuanzhang engaged in back then.

This is the most fundamental way to kill the powerful rightists who control power. It is very good, but the biggest problem is that there is no money.

"Your Majesty, how about we talk about opening up the sea." Zhang Juzheng thought about it again and again and decided to avoid this topic.

The social wealth of the Ming Dynasty was completely insufficient to support the development of social studies. Zhang Juzheng certainly thought about allowing every child in the Ming Dynasty to go to school, but it was just a dream.

"The naval expansion should be from 30,000 to 90,000." Zhang Juzheng chose another way to spend money.

Compared with education, how much does the Navy cost?

　Basic education is more expensive than navy. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
