People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 187 I will take you to see the gods, a big gift package to the sea
See that tall man still needs to change clothes?

Mu Ying looked puzzled, he only thought that the emperor wanted him to take a bath and change clothes, but who knew that after the inspector took him to the changing room, he threw him a set of clothes.

Mu Ying: ...

After all, he was also a general of Ming Dynasty, so he was asked to wear silk.

But since it was the emperor's order, Mu Ying quickly put on her own clothes.

After he came out, he found that Zhu Yuanzhang had also changed his own clothes, which were similar to his own.

The emperor is going to leave the palace in disguise?
Mu Ying was thoughtful, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:
"Wait a minute, your brother is coming too!"

After a while, Zhu Biao, who had already changed his clothes, appeared in the imperial study after being notified by the emperor.

Mu Ying was even more sure that the so-called expert was outside the palace.

Because Zhu Biao's clothes are also commoner clothes, and they look like businessmen.

It's just that he doesn't understand why he wears a businessman's clothes even if he is visiting in modest clothes?

Seeing Mu Ying, Zhu Biao greeted Mu Ying first, then said with a smile:
"I know that you have questions, brother, and I will tell you later!"

The three father and son left the palace through a special channel, and the three sat in a carriage.

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying gossip about the family life, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Mu Ying is much older than Zhu Biao, Zhu Biao has been called Big Brother since he was a child!
Compared with other brothers, he is also a natural prince in the court.

It's just that his mind today is obviously not above gossip.Zhu Biao also knew what Mu Ying wanted, and he began to tell Mu Ying stories about Zhang Yi.

From the prophecy of Longhushan to the matter in the capital, he chose to talk about it roughly.

Mu Ying only heard part of the truth, and was already stunned.

A little real person who has obtained the destiny of immortality and can peek into the future from the book of heaven?

No, this kind of person should be regarded as a little fairy.

"Why does the name Zhang Yi sound so familiar?"

Mu Ying is a general, he doesn't pay much attention to other things in the court, but Zhang Yi's name, which he vaguely remembers.

Immediately, he remembered what happened to Yang Xian and the Kong family a while ago.

"He's the little Taoist priest who made the Prime Minister suffer..."

Zhang Yi is also well-known in Yingtian Mansion now, mainly because he saved Kong Kejian and offended Yang Xian.

Yang Xian's name of "Zhongshan Wolf" has spread throughout Yingtian Mansion, and the instigator is the legendary little Taoist priest.

Miraculous medical skills, predicted the death of the right minister and gave Yang Xian a nickname.

Any one of these three is enough to make Zhang Yi the center of the topic, coupled with his identity as Longhushan, many people are inquiring about him.

It's just that he was in the Pure Heart Temple, but not many people went there.

The reason is simple, the problem still lies with Yang Xian.

Zhu Yuanzhang directly promoted Yang Xian from political affairs to the right minister, which shocked many people's jaws.

Although Yang Xian was deflated, the emperor did not punish him too much, but just let him think about his mistakes behind closed doors.

The deep meaning in it also made the old foxes in the court smell a little different.

At least, Yang Xian has not lost his favor in the emperor's heart.

As long as this is still there, no one dares to offend Yang Xian easily for the time being, and naturally no one will approach that so-called little fairy.

But Mu Ying never imagined that both Yang Xian and Xiao Daochang belonged to the emperor, but they started fighting.

After hearing Zhu Biao finish speaking, he also understood.

The priest didn't know the identities of the emperor's father and son, and it was because of this that they visited in micro-services today!
"If it weren't for the fact that going to sea was too important, I wouldn't have told you these things. You should remember clearly, even if you are a relative, you must not reveal anything about Zhang Yi to me!
Otherwise..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never dare to disclose anything about the little fairy!"

Mu Ying was excited. In his opinion, the Taoist priest named Zhang Yi was clearly a man of gods.

The emperor took him to meet the gods, it was his fate and His Majesty's great love.

He is a person who knows the importance and dare not say anything about Zhang Yi.

Zhu Yuanzhang got Mu Ying's guarantee and said:

"Your identity is still my adoptive son, and also the person in charge of going to sea chosen by me. You and my surname should be called Huang Ying!"

"Yes, the minister obeys the order!"

The carriage stopped slowly, and Zhu Biao opened the curtain.

Mu Ying looked outside, and the gate of the Pure Heart Temple was right in front of her eyes.

The little fairy's residence was not dilapidated, but definitely not luxurious either.

The surroundings are remote, few people walk, and naturally there is no incense.

When the three of them came down, Mu Ying noticed that there were people around, but they quickly disappeared. He knew that the Taoist temple was under Zhu Yuanzhang's protection.

It can be seen that the emperor still cared very much about this little fairy.

Lao Zhu was familiar with Taoist temples, although there was no one to welcome them at the door, they went in alone.

Deng Zhongxiu was chanting scriptures in the Sanqing Hall, and when he heard the movement, he turned around, only to find that it was Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It turned out to be the master of the Huang family. It's unfortunate that you came, and the younger brother has gone out!"

"Where did he go?"

Lao Zhu didn't expect to see no one when he first arrived, so he asked aloud.

"He took Lao Mo out, saying he was going out to find money!"

Deng Zhongxiu's answer made Lao Zhu quite gratified.

This little fellow Zhang Yi kept his word. When he said he would find money for himself, he was really looking for it.

"Master Huang, go and sit at the back, the younger brother should be back soon!
I'll make you some tea right away! "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and watched Deng Zhongxiu tremblingly go to make tea. Mu Ying still didn't understand what was going on, but Old Zhu knew that it was because Xiao Deng was practicing too hard.

He took Mu Ying into the backyard.

Mu Ying is very curious about everything around her.

The Taoist temple doesn't look very good from the outside, but the backyard where Zhang Yi lives is very well-decorated.

As an otaku, Zhang Yu almost realized all the money he earned and the ideas he wanted to realize in the backyard. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao were not surprised, but Mu Ying came here for the first time.

He was first attracted by the water tower, and then under the leadership of Zhu Biao, he looked at the flushing toilet.

Mu Ying's world view was greatly impacted, not because of these trans-epochal things he saw, but because of the luxury enjoyed by this fairy.

That thing called the toilet alone is worth a lot of money.

No matter how high or low he is, he is also an imperial official, Mu Yingxiao can't afford Ming's salary level.

"This little guy may have surpassed the gods in the sky in terms of enjoyment!"

Feeling Mu Ying's loss, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly.

"If I wasn't afraid of revealing my identity, I would have wanted him to give me a set of these things. In terms of enjoyment, he is a hundred years ahead of me!"

Several people were talking when Deng Zhongxiu's voice came from outside.

"Junior Brother, you are back, Master Huang is waiting for you!"

Zhang Yi and Deng Zhongxiu came in from the front almost at the same time.

He was overjoyed to see old Zhu:

"I wanted to find Uncle Huang, but I didn't expect you to be here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed when he saw Zhang Yi:
"Where did your boy go?"

"I'm not going to collect money for you, but for..."

After Zhang Yi waited for Deng Zhongxiu to leave, he took out a stack of bank notes and stuffed them into Lao Zhu's hands:

"Here is 5000 taels of silver, after all, how much is my face worth!

The Confucian Mansion promised to lend me 5000 taels of silver, but Kong Xixue had no money. Now, he went back and tried to find a way to get it for me!

1 taels of silver, uncle, my popularity is pretty good, right? "

Zhang Yi looked like you were going to praise me, which made Lao Zhu laugh.

However, he was very useful to this friendship, and Lao Zhu handed over the banknote to Zhu Biao.

Muying watched from the side, her eyes straightened?

Zhu Biao told him a lot about Zhang Yi along the way, but he didn't know that the emperor had such a good relationship with the priest.

He is a child who grew up with Zhu Yuanzhang and has won Zhu Yuanzhang's father's love.

Mu Ying clearly found that Lao Zhu, who has been accustomed to the majesty of the superior for many years, has a significantly different attitude towards Zhang Yi.

It's not the use that Zhu Biao said, but a kind of family relationship that is very similar to the kind of family relationship he had with Lao Zhu back then!

And, what does it mean that the kid gave the emperor money?
From the moment Mu Ying met Zhang Yi, she was curious about everything about him.

"1 taels of silver, that's right, I have a little more confidence in my plan to go to sea!"

Lao Zhu put away the bank note very bluntly, he thought for a while, and took out another one:
"If you don't keep it for yourself, if that stingy emperor doesn't give you a reward, don't you have no money to spend?"

Cough!

Mu Ying almost didn't come up in one breath, Lao Zhu laughed at himself for being stingy, what kind of action is this?
In the end, what surprised him even more was that Zhang Yi took up the topic, dejectedly:
"Forget it, let's not discuss the emperor's affairs, spoil the fun! He just gives, at most 300 taels of silver! If I am short of money later, I can deduct a little from the royalties, or I will write to Longhushan to ask for money !
Longhushan is now the master of the house, no more than that stingy father, I can ask for more! "

"Hahaha!"

Lao Zhu was used to Zhang Yi, and he was very happy to see Zhang normal accompanying him to suffer together.

Looking back, seeing Mu Ying's expression had long since become idiotic, Lao Zhu secretly smiled.

If she hadn't warned in advance, Mu Ying would have drawn her sword based on the conversation between the two of them.

"Come on, let me introduce someone to you, this is my adopted son and my confidant Huang Ying!
You can trust him, he is the captain I found for myself to go to sea! "

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Mu Ying over and introduced him to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi looked Mu Ying up and down. This person looked about 20 years old. Although he was dressed in general, he only had an aura. This aura was very similar to that of Lao Mo, but there were some differences!
Lao Mo's body was full of evil spirits, traces left over from the life of licking blood with knife edge.

How should Mu Ying put it, it seems to belong to the kind of person who leads the army.

Zhang Yi feels more and more that Lao Huang is most likely a gangster or something, and his subordinates don't seem to be good at it.

"So it's another brother from the Huang family...Then can I call you Brother Ying?"

Zhang Yi smiled harmlessly to humans and animals, and naturally made people get close, but Mu Ying didn't dare to neglect him a little bit, and quickly replied:
"Little real, you're being polite. I'm living under my adoptive father, and I can't afford to be called an elder brother. If you don't mind, just call me Huang Ying!"

"Why can't you afford it? The adoptive father is also a father. We have different opinions. I think my brother is very heroic, and I think he is also a hero!
I, Zhang Yi, admire people like you the most. It's a pity that I have everything on Longhu Mountain, but there is no hero like you who can teach me a few fists and kicks! "

"Fisting and kicking are trails after all, leading...leading everyone..."

He almost said the word "leading soldiers", but immediately became stuttering.

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"Of course, I also like things like the art of war, but I don't like playing with that, and accidents will happen!
By the way, Brother Ying, tell me about your affairs..."

Zhang Yi's self-familiarity greatly increased Mu Ying's affection for him, so he changed the background and told about the general.

Zhu Biao and his son looked at each other and smiled, another victim who was fooled by Zhang Yi's age and disguise.

Lao Zhu also admires this kid's ability to talk nonsense when he sees people.

Afraid that Mu Ying would lose her words if she spoke too much, he coughed twice:

"Zhang Yi..."

Interrupted by the emperor, Zhang Yi turned his gaze back to Lao Zhu.

"I've already made preparations for going to sea, the boat, maybe I can piece it together!

Man, I have a bunch of old sailors on my hands too!
It’s just that we don’t have much experience in many things when we go overseas. Although there is the route map you mentioned, it will take time to find someone to eat it!
I plan to think about going to sea again next spring. From now until next year, my son-in-law also needs training!
Huang Ying was chosen by me. Although this kid has also fought in water battles, he is not considered a veteran. I brought him here because I hope you can mention him. Is there anything missing? "

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and it seemed that he had said everything he needed to say.

He is not good at sailing. At most, he learned some superficial information when reading time travel information in his previous life, but these superficial knowledge will not be of much use in real navigation.

His information can only be truly understood by handing it over to veteran seamen, and he can't do it if he wants to train a novice.

Zhang Yi replied: "At least for now, I can't think of it!"

"It's okay, father... I'm also studying the things my father gave me. When I return to Wudi, I will practice it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said to Mu Ying:

"Anyway, the road is difficult and dangerous, so be careful, I can't help you much in natural disasters, but I will give you more people, and try to let you pass the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea safely..."

Speaking of man-made disasters, what does Zhang Yi seem to think of?
He had forgotten what it was like in Daming Offshore.

Before Lao Zhu proclaimed himself emperor, Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng's old ministries had been wreaking havoc overseas, and the disaster of Japanese pirates had actually occurred since the Hongwu Dynasty.

The so-called Japanese pirates, in addition to Japanese wandering samurai, there are also some Chinese who live by the sea. They have been using the name of Japanese pirates for generations since the Yuan Dynasty to harass the border.

From Zhang Yi's point of view, these people are no different from devils even though they are bleeding from China.

I only blame myself for my incompetence. It is these jackals that indirectly affected the trend of China's national fortune.

The sea ban policy of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as a very bad start.

This account should be counted on these people to some extent.

Lao Zhu and Mu Ying were having a heart-to-heart conversation when Zhang Yi suddenly said:
"Man-made disaster, then maybe I have something you can use..."

"What is it?"

"cannon!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat up straight immediately, and the kid really had something good hidden.

"artillery?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked uncertainly.

Zhang Yi nodded, and replied: "It's artillery, but it's not the artillery we use now!"

Artillery technology, along with the Mongols' western conquests, has long been spread to the West.

The foreign devils, who have witnessed the power of artillery, have been transforming artillery these years. If we start from this place alone, the watershed between East and West has gradually widened the gap in certain technologies.

However, Daming really felt that he was far behind others in this technology, and it was 200 years later.

This technology was not used by Europeans until the [-]th century in Europe, and it was already in the Wanli period that the Ming Dynasty obtained this artillery technology.

The red cannon, or Hongyi cannon, in today's Hongwu Dynasty, is a super artillery technology that is 200 years ahead!
Zhang Yi didn't talk nonsense. He recalled the time traveler materials he had seen in his previous life. Regarding the structure and manufacturing method of the Hongyi Cannon, there were almost no secrets in his era as long as he was willing to check.

It just so happened that in his previous life he had seen someone restore a similar technique, so he was very familiar with it. ,
He immediately found a ruler and a pen and began to try to draw pictures.

Lao Zhu and the others just waited like this. Fortunately, Zhang Yi has drawn a lot of pictures recently, and his proficiency is very high.

Regarding the design of the Hongyi Cannon, he directly drew it, and the drawing was not counted.

Zhang Yi also wrote about the cast iron materials and construction methods.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this, his hands were trembling.

"This is called Hongyi Cannon, from... um, you know..."

Zhang Yi gave Lao Zhu a wink, and then told Lao Zhu the general parameters of the Hongyi cannon.

The Hongyi cannon he gave Lao Zhu was of course a modified version, with a range of [-] kilometers. All the muzzles and tails were equipped with front sights and rear sights, which could be adjusted in direction.

Although Huaxia was the inventor of artillery, the effective range of Ming's advanced artillery is only more than 300 meters.

Compared with the cannon painted by Zhang Yi, it is nothing worth mentioning.

This is the country's most important weapon.

Lao Zhu's body trembled unceasingly. If he had had this thing earlier, the Ming army's attacking road might have gone more smoothly.

"It's a pity that the Ming army didn't equip this kind of thing earlier!"

"Thinking too much, our Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty won't be able to use it for the time being, this cannon is not very good for field battles, it is more suitable for siege and ships!
By the way, can your ship be changed into a gunboat? If not, I will draw some pictures for you. Chen Youliang's treasure ship is actually pretty good, it is the best ship available in our era, but...

Can you make it? "

Zhang Yi himself felt that it was a bit dangerous to hand over the artillery technology to Huang He, a businessman who might have a pirate background.

But thinking of the benefits of sweet potatoes entering China, he felt that the risk could be tolerated.

After all, if this Uncle Huang dares to use artillery to make trouble one day, the more he can make this technology public.

Although Zhang Yi trusted Lao Zhu, he was not completely unguarded against him!
It's just that compared to the significance of a great voyage, this risk is not worth mentioning to Daming.

Lao Zhu's eyes were red when he heard Zhang Yi say this: "You look down on anyone, as long as you dare to draw, I will make it for you!"

"Take it easy, this thing is a rebellious object, please don't implicate me, this thing can only be used at sea, you know?"

After thousands of exhortations, Lao Zhu gave Zhang Yi various guarantees, and finally got this technology into his hands.

He couldn't help laughing, Zhang Yi's gift was delivered in time.

"This guy won't be a villain, will he?"

Giving this kind of technology to a businessman is still a businessman who is likely to have connections with pirates, Zhang Yi is a little bit guilty!
