People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 504 What’s the point of changing dynasties?Come and change the world
"Zhang Zhenren!"

When Zhu Di saw Zhang Yi, he was very enthusiastic and wanted to give him a bear hug.

There were obvious stains on his face and body. Zhang Yi was a little disgusted and took a step back:
"Your Highness Prince Yan, you have taken over the tiger's den as your own these days..."

Zhu Di laughed loudly:

“I can only say that these things invented by real people are so attractive!

You are also aware of the situation in the East. I urge you so that our soldiers on the Ming frontline can get more equipment...

Now that the Xuanwu cannon is almost ready, the next step is to strive to equip the Xuanwu Army with more muskets! "

His Royal Highness King Yan?

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help but take a second look after Zhang Yi revealed the other party's identity.

This child is about the same age as Zhang Yi, but he is also precocious.

Yao Guangxiao always felt that he had a good impression of Zhu Di when he first saw him, but he didn't know where this good impression came from?

Yao Guangxiao put this inexplicable feeling aside for the first time. When he thought about it carefully, he found that the brief conversation between Zhang Yi and Zhu Di revealed a lot of shocking information.

First, the items in this firearms arsenal were actually invented by the cheap master in front of him?

Yao Guangxiao had vaguely heard of Xuanwu cannon and matchlock gun.

As a monk who cares about the world, he basically knows all the major events in the world.

The Xuanwu cannon was the most powerful weapon of the imperial court.

It appeared after His Highness Mu Ying returned from overseas and when the Xuanwu Army was suppressing bandits. In the battles with Japanese pirates, especially in naval battles, it crushed almost all the forces at sea.

Yao Guangxiao had been studying this kind of cross-era weapon seriously for a while.

However, it was impossible for him to come into contact with the Xuanwu Cannon. He only relied on legends to imagine the power of this weapon.

The Vulcan Spear shone in the latest northern battlefield.

The battle to defend Peiping was rumored to be vivid.

The newly emerged Shenji Battalion, relying on the Vulcan Gun, was frantically harvesting the lives of allied troops in Beiping City.

According to legend, the Allied forces were massacred unilaterally by the Ming army in the city of Peiping.

The reputation of the Vulcan Spear also spread like wildfire.

So, these guns and cannons are all inventions of the master in front of me?

Yao Guangxiao gave Zhang Yi a meaningful look.

He can devise a plan to deceive Bei Yuan, and he can invent weapons that change the situation of the war.

It was not luck that Zhang Yi was valued by the emperor.

And another news that concerns Yao Guangxiao is that the East seems to be launching a war?
The north has just won a great victory. Where is the emperor going to fight?
While Yao Guangxiao was stunned, Zhu Di also noticed the stranger next to Zhang Yi.

"Who is this?"

Zhu Di's eyes fell on Yao Guangxiao, and it was difficult for the bald Taoist priest not to notice him.

The ring scar on his head already showed his recent identity.

A monk, but wearing a Taoist robe, this image is really inconsistent.

"He is the apprentice given to Pindao by the emperor..."

There was a hint of resentment in Zhang Yi's tone when he answered Zhu Di.

Zhu Di had been staying in the tiger's den for the past few days and had not had time to know the gossip outside. He was stunned when he heard this.

My father's actions were truly imaginative and unconstrained.

As his son, it is not easy for him to blame Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Di sneered and changed the subject:
"I don't know about this master, no, what is the Taoist priest's name?"

"His Royal Highness King Yan is very polite. Yao Guangxiao, a poor man, would like to pay his respects to His Highness King Yan!"

"Okay, there is no need to perform these vulgar etiquettes here, Master Zhang, let's go, I will take you to see the new achievements..."

Zhu Di took Zhang Yi's hand and dragged Zhang Yi into the tiger's den.

Yao Guangxiao quickly followed their pace.

Along the way, Yao Guangxiao only heard the noisy sound of the collision of iron tools.

He peeked through the ajar door and saw the production scene in full swing.

Here, there is the smell of iron and fire, and as a few people continue to move forward, the roar of guns gradually comes.

"shoot!"

Someone shouted the password in the distance, and then the sound of banging banging was heard endlessly.

Several people finally reached a higher place and saw the scene of soldiers training firearms.

"The Shenji Camp has returned!"

When Zhang Yi saw these people, even if he only had a glimpse of them on the battlefield, he recognized many soldiers he had seen in Peiping.

"Yes, they have all made great achievements this time, and many of them will be promoted by Emperor Father to go to Zhejiang to help train musketeers!

Father prepared [-] Vulcan guns and enough ammunition for them this time!
As for flintlock guns, due to limited flint production, they will not be distributed for the time being..."

Zhu Di introduced the recent situation in the arsenal to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi nodded.

Zhang Yi had long expected that flint would become a limitation on the production capacity of flintlock guns.

It’s not that China is short of flint, but that the mining of flint in the Ming Dynasty cannot keep up with the production speed of flintlock guns.

This is the so-called industrial chain.

After Ming Dynasty has the demand, the mining industry will naturally follow...

The Vulcan Gun is also the answer that is ahead of this era. With the Vulcan Gun, it is enough to sweep across Japan.

And the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty didn't just rely on firearms to fight!

Zhang Yi was not worried at all about attacking Japan...

Yao Guangxiao quietly listened to Zhang Yi and Zhu Di's chat, and watched the Xuanwu cannon test-fire.

Under the influence of a knowledge called ballistics, Yao Guangxiao witnessed the artillery falling on the originally drawn target like a finger.

The new weapon shocked him in the tiger's den, but what he really cared about was the strength of Ming Dynasty.

This new empire was so powerful that he despaired.

"Disciple, you chat with His Highness Prince Yan, and I'll go talk to the senior brothers!"

Zhang Yi left Yao Guangxiao behind to talk to his fellow apprentices who were left in the tiger's den.

He didn't know, maybe he could guess.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been staring at him since he took Yao Guangxiao out.

When he left Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao behind, the Jin Yiwei who monitored him urgently sent memorials to the palace.

Lao Zhu was originally in a good mood, but when he received this memorial, he became furious:
"This kid is fooling around. Why did he ask that monster monk to contact the fourth child?"

"It's the demon way..."

Zhu Biao reminded Lao Zhu on the side, and Lao Zhu glared at him. How long has it been since he was still struggling with this issue?
Zhang Yi himself told the story about Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di.

He also asked Zhu Di to get in touch with Yao Guangxiao, so he wasn't afraid that the two of them would look at each other?

Lao Zhu's anger started in his heart, and he didn't know what bad ideas were running in his mind.

But Zhu Biao, as another party involved, seemed calm and calm.

Zhu Yuanzhang was upset, but he didn't like him.

"Actually, father, there is no need to worry, since the Zhang family brother dares to do it, there must be his reasons!
Moreover, doesn’t the father know about Jing Nan?
Even if the fourth child really wants to compete for Dabao, he has no chance. In fact, he is not even as good as the second child..."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao and immediately calmed down.

That's right, Yao Guangxiao doesn't have that much energy.

Zhu Di's rebellion was completely forced. No matter how ambitious he was, if a vassal king rebels, the people will not support him...

If you don’t have the strength, how can you rebel with nothing?

But even so, it is not a good thing for Yao Guangxiao and Zhu Di to meet...

Although Lao Zhu didn't like it, he wasn't that angry anymore.

"Just wait and see what happens!" Zhu Yuanzhang left one sentence and began to review the memorial again, as if the anger just now did not exist.

On the other side, when Zhang Yi came back from chatting with his senior brothers, Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao were also chatting very happily.

Yao Guangxiao was a man with deep thoughts, but his smile was very sincere at this moment.

Zhang Yi could tell that this was different from his usual state. Even if Daoyan could get along with anyone, he felt that he was an approachable person.

Most capable people are arrogant.

The same goes for Yao Guangxiao.

Seeing Zhang Yi come back, Zhu Di shouted:

"Xiao Zhenren, your big disciple is really an interesting person. I like it..."

"As long as His Highness likes it..."

Zhang Yi seemed to have said something casually, but Zhu Di didn't take it to heart, but Yao Guangxiao's heart skipped a beat.

He was thoughtful and looked at Zhu Di again, his eyes were different.

"Your Highness, I came here today to need you to provide something..."

Zhang Yi handed a list to Zhu Di and asked Zhu Di to help him find it.

After Zhu Di agreed, several people talked about the tactical use of firearms.

After Yao Guangxiao and Zhang Yi went out, they were speechless in the carriage.

"How do you feel about His Highness King Yan?"

"Is King Yan a wizard?"

Yao Guangxiao seemed worried and answered cautiously.

"Then look at him, does he still have the emperor's dragon energy?"

"what?"

Zhang Yi's words made Yao Guangxiao stand up in shock, but the carriage was too short and there was a thud.

His big bald head knocked out a bag.

Holding his head, he didn't know the pain, and just looked at Zhang Yi like a monster.

How did Zhang Yi know about his little thoughts?

"It seems that your fate with Zhu Di is really due to your physiognomy?
Then you haven't seen that the emperor's dragon energy in him has almost dissipated? "

Zhang Yi pretended to be mysterious and told lies that he himself did not believe.

Yao Guangxiao's expression became alarmed and uncertain.

"you know……"

"Your unwillingness is because you want to wait for someone who can help you realize your ideal. The person I am taking you to meet is the person you are destined to..."

Zhang Yi's words hit Yao Guangxiao like a stormy sea.

He seemed to have no secrets in front of Zhang Yi.

“In a sense, we are all crazy!
You have brought about a dynasty change in this peaceful and prosperous age, and you want to be the minister who obeys the dragon!

Yao Guangxiao, I have to say that you are whimsical!

Ordinary people know that this is impossible!
But you never gave up the hope in your heart..."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Yao Guangxiao couldn't calm down for a long time in the carriage.

When he looked at Zhang Yi at this time, he was already like a ghost and became slightly frightened.

Zhang Yi not only pointed out his ambition, but also revealed the illusion buried deep in his heart that he had never told anyone.

Even when he was chatting with Zhu Di, he had just developed a slight interest in Zhu Di, and Zhang Yi noticed it.

The master in front of him was like the Tathagata in Journey to the West, playing with him in the palm of his hand.

"Disciple is just a monkey, he can't escape from the master's grasp!"

After being exposed by Zhang Yi, the remaining pride in Yao Guangxiao's heart was shattered by Zhang Yi. He was a little embarrassed and admitted it frankly.

"Master, how do you plan to deal with your disciple?"

"Why should we deal with you? Who do you think you are?"

Zhang Yi beat Yao Guangxiao mercilessly.

Yao Guangxiao realized something and laughed dumbly.

If you think about it carefully, you really are not that important.

It is one thing to have an idea, but another thing to have the ability.

But he still understood the project. Zhang Yi brought him to Zhu Di specifically and what did it mean to beat him?
"Master said that both Pindao and you are crazy. Master knows Pindao's madness!

I don’t know about Master’s madness. Is there any chance for my disciple to know? "

Zhang Yi smiled and said:

"In a sense, the ideals between you and me are moral disputes!
You, Yao Guangxiao, can pursue the way of heaven in your heart, regardless of the life and death of the people, but you want to make this world a better place! "

Yao Guangxiao glanced at the tiger's den behind him and said nothing.

Zhang Yi's smile froze on his face, damn, this apprentice is so difficult to take care of.

Is this guy satirizing himself for inventing a war machine?
But to a certain extent, Yao Guangxiao's objection is correct.

If he had not witnessed the historical changes of China, he would not have understood the suffering that China experienced in the 100 years of its decline hundreds of years later.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

"What is Master's ideal?"

Yao Guangxiao saw that he was chatting to death, so he quickly made amends.

Zhang Yi looked at him deeply and said:
"If your ideal is to change the dynasty, support an emperor with your own hands and realize your dream!
But Pindao’s ideal is to change the world..."

Change the world?

Yao Guangxiao took a breath, such a big breath.

Even a king would not dare to boast about changing the world.

Yao Guangxiao somewhat understood why Zhang Yi said that he was a madman like himself.

Because I am not a madman, I would never come up with such an idea from the underworld.

But Zhang Yi changed the subject and said:
"But Pindao is different from you. Pindao has been practicing his own path and can see the hope of success!
Compared with you bringing despair to the world for your own selfishness, you at least leave a way for the people! "

His ideal was rejected by Zhang Yi, and Yao Guangxiao's mood fluctuated a bit:
"Master, why do you say you can change the world?"

"Just because I invented allicin and I promoted drinking boiled water...

The North-South rankings and the reform of the imperial examinations you see come from my suggestions...

It was my suggestion that the Ming Dynasty move its capital to the north.

The emperor and I raised the money for the species brought back from America to go to sea.

I also reformed commercial taxes and facilitated the formation of the Xuanwu Army..."

Zhang Yi recounted the things he had influenced and done one by one.

Yao Guangxiao went from disdain to doubt, then shock, and finally turned into silent silence.

He is a proud man, too proud to avoid the truth.

So he had to admit that Zhang Yi was much better than him.

Even if he realizes his ideals, supports a king to ascend to power, and personally intervenes in the world's political affairs, he cannot do better than Zhang Yi.

When Yao Guangxiao looked at Zhang Yi again, he felt a hint of admiration.

One person can influence the general trend of the world in just a few years.

This kind of person is considered a peerless genius in any era.

“Changing dynasties is not a matter of skill!

Why don't you follow me and change the world together? "

Zhang Yi extended an invitation to Yao Guangxiao.
