Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 355 The observation group arrives!Ji Gang snitched!

"I'm a member of the Jinyi Guards Qianhu, asking to see King Yan!"

Ji Gang stood respectfully outside the study, peeking inside from the corner of his eyes.

'Shen Ren completely fell in love with Zhu Silang! '

Seeing Shen Ren sitting inside, he was just a little surprised. He had been doing secret activities in Fujian, Jiangsu and Zhejiang for almost a year, and he was quite aware of the changes in attitudes of Shen Ren and other Fujian military and political officials.

He has even placed Jin Yiwei's informant beside Shen Ren.

Without this ability to do things efficiently.

It was impossible for him to be promoted to the rank of Jinyiwei Qianhu by Jiang Yu in such a short period of time.

……

There was no response in the study for a long time.

Ji Gang couldn't think about anything else, and his heart gradually became heavy.

The scrutinizing gaze fell on him, making him breathless.

"Come in."

It wasn't until a dull sound sounded in the room that the pressure suddenly disappeared.

call!
Ji Gang secretly breathed out, became more cautious, entered the study, came to the desk, and solemnly saluted, "Ji Gang, I'm here to pay my respects to King Yan."

Zhu Di looked at this person.

Why is this person here?

Is it related to Jinyiwei Baihu going to Plum Vase to bribe Lu Zhen?
Lu Zhen reported to him that the mysterious Jin Yiwei Baihu had not appeared again for more than a year since he appeared once.

It seems that Lu Zhen has been forgotten.

But he knew that the people behind the scenes had not forgotten Lu Zhen.

Lu Zhen is a long-term chess piece in the hands of the people behind the scenes. Only when the situation is most critical will this chess piece be suddenly used.

The person behind the scenes who has such patience and arranges this kind of chess game.

He didn't dare, didn't want, or didn't want to delve into it.

As for Ji Gang, he had been promoted to Qianhu, but suddenly appeared in Fujian.

He can guess a lot of possibilities.

For example, a more complete Jinyiwei system was established in Fujian.

Comprehensive observation of all the happenings in Fujian.

……

That's all, he didn't want to do anything, let these people do whatever they wanted.

Zhu Di collected his thoughts and asked in a calm tone: "Ji Qianhu came to see me, what do you want?"

Ji Gang felt that the pressure suddenly disappeared, and he felt like a spring breeze for an instant, and secretly smiled bitterly.

To be honest, he didn't want to get close to this person.

In order to observe Zhu Silang's navy and new army, he also went to the Min'an Town Pier in disguise.

Wu Hai was killed just like that.

It's like squeezing a bug to death.

"Your Majesty, I'm here to inform you that the observation group has set off from Jinling..."

Song Lian, Mu Ying, Lan Yu, Yu Tongyuan, Fang Xiaoru...

When Shen Ren heard the list of names announced by Ji Gang, he opened his mouth slightly in shock.

The size of the observation group is too big, right?

Looking at Zhu Di from the corner of his eye.

Zhu Di was also slightly shocked, "I didn't expect that the old man would bring such a huge observation group." '

Ventriloquism nodded at the same time: "I understand."

The original plan was to return to Jilong Island as soon as possible after handling the matters in Fujian. Now it seems that we can only stay in Fujian, wait for the observation group to arrive, and then go to Jilong Island together.

Calculated from the time when the observation group leaves Jinling.

I’d probably go to Jilong Island around the Chinese New Year.

Let’s entertain the viewing group to celebrate the New Year on Jilong Island.

Soon, Zhu Di had a rough plan for the arrival of the observation group.

He stood up, came to Shen Ren's side, picked up the fire gun, changed the subject and asked: "After the Spring Festival, I asked Huizu to hand over to Jin Yiwei to send this new type of long-tubed fire gun back to the court. Do you know about this?"

Ji Gang secretly smiled bitterly.

He had already guessed what Zhu Silang wanted to ask.

Of course he knew.

When he was in Jinling, he was responsible for collecting, summarizing, and analyzing Jinyiwei Xinbao from Fujian.

Not only did he see the firecrackers Zhu Silang sent back to the court, but he also fired and tested them himself.

The long-barreled fire gun is still very lethal at about a hundred paces.

Except that the accuracy is not as good as that of a bow and arrow, it is almost as good as a bow and arrow.

In fact, on the battlefield, when the two armies clash, they do not pursue particularly demanding accuracy.

Even archers, on the battlefield, often just aim at areas where enemies are densely packed and shoot.

Use dense numbers to achieve the goal of killing a large number of enemies.

Of course, even with long-barreled fire guns, intersecting bows and arrows have great disadvantages.

After firing, it takes too long to reload projectiles and gunpowder.

An archer who is good at shooting can shoot six arrows, and a fire gunner may be able to complete two shots.

"I know, I should handle this matter myself, report it to the commander, and the commander will report to His Majesty..."

Zhu Di frowned slightly.

Ji Gang suddenly became more deferential, which was puzzling.

"Since you are handling it yourself, you should be clear about my purpose of sending this long-barreled firearm back to the DPRK."

Ji Gang nodded bravely.

Zhu Di continued, "I have found a relatively cheap and efficient improved process in the firearms workshop on Jilong Island. The imperial craftsmen are the supervisors and there are tens of thousands of craftsmen. Over such a long period of time, the improvement of firearms has been greatly improved." How's it going?"

coming!

Ji Gang had already guessed what Zhu Di was going to ask, and had already thought of a way to deal with it, "Your Majesty, the court believes that this kind of long-barreled body fire gun has great disadvantages, so it decided to continue using the prince's long-barreled body fire gun. After groping and researching, I hope to produce a firecracker that can completely replace bows and arrows. The craftsmen and supervisors believe that it will cost a lot to replace the short-barreled cast iron firecrackers used by the court with the current long-barrel firecrackers. The improvement is minimal..."

Zhu Di frowned even tighter.

Are the old man and the others so short-sighted?

The long-barreled firegun does have various shortcomings.

But the power on the battlefield is already amazing.

He was born with insufficient conditions.

Otherwise, in the first army town, he will install a large number of firecrackers.

Reduce the proportion of sword and shield soldiers to the minimum.

To be honest, the long-barreled fire gun equipped with a gun sword is basically sufficient for cold weapon combat and hot weapon combat.

The first town of the Army, with a population of nearly 3000.

If you configure [-] long-barreled firecrackers, they will be matched with a small number of small cast copper cannons that are easy to carry.

Even facing the charge of a cavalry group.

He dared to fight directly.

Multi-stage volley gun + small cast copper cannon fire iron sand.

A hundred steps away, even if the cavalry is fast, it will become a chasm.

There are also army cavalry signs and a few sword and shield soldiers to cooperate.

wrong!

"Ji Qianhu!" Just when Zhu Di realized that Ji Gang had lied, Shen Ren suddenly said: "Your Majesty, is this really your attitude towards this kind of long-barreled firecracker?"

What Ji Gang said is correct.

But he didn't believe Ji Gang's rhetoric.

After he almost made a fool of himself because he believed various information from Jinling, he specially asked his family to go back to Jinling and ask around.

The result is: Your Majesty attaches great importance to King Yan's opinion.

King Yan made it clear that all the new army would be equipped with this kind of long-barreled firecrackers.

He did not believe that His Majesty would give up improving the manufacturing process of long-barreled firecrackers because of their shortcomings.

Zhu Di held up a fire gun with one hand. The sharp blade of the gun sword was directly pressed against Ji Gang's chin, "Say!"

The cold feeling coming from his jaw made Ji Gang tense up.

Xun Sheng looked at Zhu Di.

Meeting Zhu Di's cold eyes, Ji Gang's mouth was full of bitterness. He originally thought he could fool him, but he was still found out. He stuttered: "Your Highness, I am asking for information based on my humble position..."

The craftsman supervises some officials, who are from the prince's family.

After these people succeeded in improving it, everyone in the army said that the long-barreled fire gun was made by King Yan.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t want King Yan to have too much influence in the Ming army.

So we just put the matter of improving fire guns on the shelf.

As for the emperor, he has many things to deal with every day. After the matter was explained, he thought that the people below would take it seriously, so he stopped paying attention.

it's good now.

The group of craftsmen and supervisors were unwilling to do it.

King Yan only spent half a year, and it seemed that he had improved the production process.

At least, it should be affordable, so it started to be installed in the new army.

The King of Yan could afford it, and the imperial court could certainly afford this kind of production technology.

The small workshops of Yanwangjilongyu can improve the craftsmanship.

The imperial craftsmen serve as supervisors, and tens of thousands of talented craftsmen are certainly not out of the question.

Originally, the viewing group did not need to envy this matter.

But now...

They were all screwed up by the group of civil servants who thought they were smart.

I don’t know how spectacular it would be to have such a sharp weapon deployed in the army and thousands of people to fire it in volley.
Only when the viewing group arrives and go to Jilong Island with the viewing group can we get a glimpse of its true appearance.

just wait.

If the Marquis of Yongchang, Marquis of Xiping and others were envious after observing and learned the whole story, those smart-alecky fellows like the Craftsman Supervisor would definitely be in trouble.

……

Shen Ren looked at Zhu Di and sighed when he saw Zhu Di was stunned and disappointed.

He had already guessed this answer.

He also concluded that His Highness would definitely suffer from severe pain.

All good intentions.

But being misled by villains will make anyone angry, frustrated, and resentful.

……

Zhu Di sighed silently.

He was really angry.

Unexpectedly, because they did not want him to expand his influence in the army, someone put the long-barreled fire gun away.

This political culture and political atmosphere are really bad!
Fortunately, he had already planted the seeds of rural village communities and the employee-employed shareholding system for the Ming Dynasty.

When rural villages and communities develop to a higher level, small economies scattered all over the country will inevitably lead to technological progress.

Countless people long for a better life.

Will be proactive and improve production efficiency.

Organizational power and technical tools determine productivity.

Organizational power, the rural village community itself is the organizational power that regulates people's division of labor and cooperation, thereby improving productivity.

Thousands of people want to increase their productivity.We can only start with technology and labor tools.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt much better.

Looking at Ji Gang, "I understand, go down."

Not long after Ji Gang left.

Sun Yuanchu came to report again, and Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan asked to see him.

Shen Ren took the opportunity to say goodbye.

After a while.

Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan were taken to the study.

After sitting down and chatting for a few words, Zhu Di was really tired after a busy day and asked directly: "I wonder if Master Zhang is looking for this junior. What is the matter? Is it related to Wu Hai?"

Zhang Sanfeng naturally saw the tiredness on Zhu Di's face.

He smiled and shook his head again, "Your Majesty, when the moon is full, it will be full, and when the water is full, it will overflow. All things in the world are interdependent. Where there is black, there is white, and when there is good, there is bad..."

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, not knowing what this person wanted to say.

"Without the contrast of black, people would not be able to identify white. Without the reference of bad, people in the world would be lost in good, and would not be able to distinguish between good and bad."

……

"Because there is evil, people know what is good and know the beauty of goodness."

"If one day, evil is completely eradicated, I believe that it is definitely not a good thing. The world will definitely become worse. People don't know what is good, and people don't know the beauty of goodness. Once it collapses, it will be destroyed."

……

Zhu Di vaguely understood what Zhang Sanfeng wanted to say.

This man is worthy of leaving such a big name in history.

See black and white, good and bad, good and evil very clearly.

Indeed, let alone black, bad, evil and other negative things, they cannot be eradicated at all.

Just as Zhang Sanfeng said.

It is definitely not a good thing to completely eradicate it, it must be an extremely bad thing.

Flawless perfection, once it collapses, is destruction.

Zhu Di smiled and said: "Zhenzhen Zhang wants to remind me that people like Wu Hai should not be killed, so that they can become the opposite of the beauty of rural village communities and the wage-earning stock system, right?"

Shen Wansan looked at Zhu Di in surprise.

Then he shifted his gaze and looked at Zhang Sanfeng for confirmation.

'Did Master Zhang's words really remind King Yan? '

Zhang Sanfeng nodded with a smile.

'Emperor Zhu's son is really smart! '

He sighed secretly and then said: "Not bad..."

This fourth prince is very smart and has very powerful methods.

At the same time, he felt that this person was extremely cold-blooded and cold-blooded.

This kind of person holds a high position, and once he starts killing, he will be more ruthless than his father, Emperor Zhu.

He just wanted to persuade the other party for the sake of the people in the world.

It would be fine if the other party goes to sea.

The people of the Central Plains will not suffer because of him.

But in the future, who can tell.

Zhu Di smiled and thanked: "Thank you Master Zhang for your advice. I don't mind some groups making irresponsible remarks. As long as it has little impact on what I want to do, I can tolerate it. But if Wu Hai This has seriously threatened what I want to do. Whether he is a scholar, a commoner, a good person or a bad person, if he refuses to listen to persuasion, I will eradicate him without hesitation..."

Wu Hai and his ilk were actually the Ming Dynasty's public intellectuals.

If you just chirp and say a few grumbling words.

He doesn't care either.

Just like Zhang Sanfeng said, keep these people as negative examples to reflect what he does.

Even if some people were deceived for a while.

But after all, paper cannot contain the fire.

When the people repented, they cherished the rural community and the employee-share system even more.

He has seen many young rebels show their loyalty after repentance.

But Wu Hai has seriously touched the foundation of his governance.

For this kind of situation, let alone Wu Hai himself is a hypocrite.

Even if he were a selfless gentleman like Song Lian, he would not hesitate to take action.

……

Hero!

Zhang Sanfeng looked at Zhu Di, smiling and talking freely, with an unwavering will, and sighed secretly.

He couldn't see through the future of the fourth prince Ming.

After expressing his attitude, Zhu Di invited: "Junior would like to invite Master Zhang to take a walk in Fujian and take a look..."

Zhang Sanfeng previously spoke about black and white, good and bad, good and evil.

This idea came to him.

It was not to show off his achievements to Zhang Sanfeng.

"I hope Master Zhang can give some advice to the younger generation after reading it."

This real person has a deep understanding of Tao.

Maybe I can give him some advice.

"I'm very honored. If King Yan can invite me to visit your Dongfan, I will be even happier!"

Zhu Di couldn't help being amused.

Unexpectedly, this real person is still good at climbing along the pole.

Then he promised: "Of course, it is also an honor for the younger generation. The imperial observation group has left Jinling and will arrive soon. After the observation group inspects Fujian, it will leave for Jilong Island to observe the new army in the first town of the Army under my command. Master Shizhang can walk with us."

Zhang Sanfeng nodded with a smile.

He was also particularly curious about the new army trained by the prince.

……

He had seen Zhu Yuanzhang before.

He is a hero.

But due to his background, his personality is relatively conservative.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty establishes rural village societies.

'Exiling' the best son to the sea.

An observation group was also sent to visit Fuzhou.

It seems that a lot has changed over the years.

Zhu Yuanzhang's changes and the changes in Ming Dynasty are closely related to the fourth prince.

In the old Ming Dynasty, he could see the future at a glance.

Now, I can’t see through it!

I really want to live a few more years and see what the Zhu family world will become in the future.

……

The two sides discussed the past and the present for a long time, and the night was very late.

Shen Zhi personally drove the carriage to pick up the people.

Zhang Sanfeng and Shen Wansan just left.

The carriage gradually moved away from the county government office.

Shen Wansan put down the curtain and said with emotion: "It's a pity that this one was born late. Although he is the legitimate son, he is only the fourth legitimate son."

He was really surprised.

Later, we discuss ancient and modern times.

Zhu Di had a lot of references and references at his fingertips, and he was able to answer fluent questions with Master Zhang.

The magnanimity with which he moved his hands and feet was even more inexplicably horrifying.

Maybe the prince himself didn't know how strong his aura was when he let go of the conversation.

After finishing his words, he looked at Zhang Sanfeng curiously: "Master, how do you feel?"

Zhang Sanfeng pondered for a moment, opened his mouth, and then fell silent.

After a long time, he said: "I can't evaluate this kind of people."

He can discern the future achievements of some people at a glance.

However, he couldn't understand this prince.

Can't evaluate either.

Shen Zhi was driving outside and eavesdropped. When he heard this, he couldn't help but look surprised.

……

The following days.

As expected, Zhang Sanfeng began to inspect everywhere in Fujian.

They even held a Taoist meeting in Fujian.

Very prosperous.

Countless people came here in admiration.

Zhu Di was too busy to get away.

But Xu Miaoyun was still allowed to take the children to listen.

During this period, Zhang Sanfeng also gave Zhu Di some opinions on rural village communities.

Among them, the gentry's participation in rural village societies had the greatest impact.

Zhang Sanfeng suggested keeping it.

At the same time, he wrote a long, long letter outlining the reasons for his recommendation to retain it.

The common people would not be able to be alert if they did not experience the consequences of the gentry's shareholding.

Zhang Sanfeng suggested that the gentry’s shareholding that had already occurred might as well be preserved, as long as it did not spread.

Let the gentry who have already happened take shares as a comparison.

Wait until the gentry are greedy and the people are harmed, then take action to correct them.

To put it bluntly, there is no bad or bad lesson learned from the past. Even if it is written into the Ming Law, there will always be people who will modify it and shake it.

Even, one day, the common people may be tempted by others and ask the gentry to buy shares.

At that time, how should the court handle itself?

……

Regarding Zhang Sanfeng’s proposal to establish a comparison.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Di considered it carefully and immediately gave instructions to Ye Mao: Do ​​not spread it, keep it, wait for the abscess to break out, and completely warn future generations!

Busy and busy.

mid-November.

News came that the observation group had entered Fujian.

……

And at the same time.

The news that Zhang Sanfeng was "working" for Zhu Di was also quietly sent back to the court by Ji Gang.

Because he knew that Zhang Sanfeng was the eminent virtuous person who could not be invited even by the emperor!

　Ask for monthly tickets, recommended tickets, follow-up subscriptions, and full subscriptions.
