Ming Empire

Chapter 290

"Also, to build more new guns and artillery, and to continuously improve the technical level of artillery and guns, to create newer rifled guns, rifled guns, and the current guns and artillery, there is still a lot of room for improvement , The production of gunpowder needs to be greatly changed, the explosive power of the current gunpowder is too small!" Cao Yue ignored Sun Chuanting's expression, and continued to talk about his thoughts, "Old man Sun, do you know, ** ****Does it still have the power of ***? That is several tens of times or even higher than the current black gunpowder. Can you imagine what will happen to the combat power of our Ming army after this new type of gunpowder comes out? What kind of improvement? Hey, old man Sun, don’t look at me like this, because you don’t understand these things, it doesn’t mean others don’t.”

"Okay, you continue to talk, I'll listen!" Sun Chuanting had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to listen to what Cao Yue said to him, which was no different from "Arabian Nights".It's a pity that he doesn't even know what Arabian Nights is.

Cao Yue also tried his best to tell Sun Chuanting all his thoughts, and he didn't care whether Sun Chuanting understood or not, as long as he asked him to support him.

On the second day after the two discussed important matters in secret, Zhu Cijiong issued an edict to appoint Zheng Zhilong as the left governor of the military governor's mansion, and ordered him to come to Nanjing immediately. After taking office, his department was organized under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the sequence of the Ming Dynasty Guards and Navy, and the imperial court will send personnel to reorganize.The imperial court also asked Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, Zheng Sen, to come to Nanjing to face the saint along with his father.

At the same time that the imperial edict was urgently sent to Fujian, Cao Yue also wrote two letters to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen respectively.

The letter to Zheng Sen is basically an official article, expressing that he has always admired Zheng Zhilong's reputation and thanked Zheng Zhilong for training a powerful naval fleet for Ming Dynasty. Zheng Zhilong was able to fully manage the affairs of the Ministry of the Navy as the left commander of the army.When Zheng Zhilong comes to Nanjing, he will personally bring people outside the city to greet him, and so on.

In the letter to Zheng Sen, Cao Yue used a different tone. He praised Zheng Sen's youthful spirit and talent, saying that a person like Zheng Sen is a rare young talent in Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely have great plans in the future Given the opportunity, he hoped that Zheng Sen could come to Nanjing to take up the post. At that time, he would definitely arrange for him a position that was most suitable for his talent and learning, and hoped that Zheng Sen could grow into an outstanding military talent.

I hope that one day, I can see Zheng Sen leading the Ming Guards to fight in all directions, making many military exploits and becoming a legend.

The imperial edict and Cao Yue's private letter were sent to Fujian as quickly as possible, and then to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Sen immediately.

What Cao Yue did was actually a huge gamble, betting that Zheng Zhilong would not dare to take risks and tear himself apart with the court.

In the original history, Zheng Zhilong finally surrendered to the Manchu Qing despite the persuasion of his son Zheng Sen, and took some people north to Beijing to meet Emperor Kangxi, the slave chieftain.In the original history, Zheng Zhilong did not dare to fight against the Manchu Qing, so Cao Yue also took it for granted that under the strong demands of the Ming court, Zheng Zhilong did not dare to fight against the court, and would eventually give in and obey the court's arrangements.

Today's Ming Dynasty Guards, the combat power has been exaggerated to be very terrifying. Jiannu can be defeated so easily. When any force faces the threat of the Ming Dynasty Guards, it will take a good look at this terrible military force. Whether the organization can compete by itself.Cao Yue believed that Zheng Zhilong would make the right choice, and he also felt that Zheng Sen, a passionate young man who finally broke with his father Zheng Zhilong, would worship under him.

Of course, the necessary arrangements and countermeasures still need to be worked out, who knows if Zheng Zhilong will jump the wall in a hurry.

After returning to Beijing for a while, Cao Yue basically dealt with the matters to be dealt with.The end of the year is approaching, and most people feel that after a busy year, it is time to take a break, let go of many things, and be ready to have fun, and Cao Yue is no exception.So he also put things aside for now, and went to the brothel courtyard with Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, and Zhang Shize, who had invited him to drink with him several times.

Qinhuai Bayan, once again a rare gathering together.This was all arranged by Chang Yanling, Guo Peimin, Zhang Shize and others. In fact, it could also be said that the other five women in Qinhuai Bayan who had not yet had a relationship with Cao Yue spent money on entrusting them to do it.

After Cao Yue returned to Nanjing, he had to deal with a lot of things every day. In addition, he had to deal with the matter of the red lady, and he had to make up for Aimi Zhu who had been wronged in some ways. Therefore, the three women Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan didn't have time. To accompany her, and the three women were busy with other things, and they were very busy years ago, so they didn't dare to bother Cao Yue who was in the limelight too much, so they didn't have any ambiguous affairs with Cao Yue.

Today, Chang Yanling dragged Cao Yue out of the brothel yard, and Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan were the first to get close to Cao Yue in a while.Seeing this posture, Cao Yue felt very uncomfortable. Although he said that his desire for beautiful women was still the same as before, he felt a little guilty towards Aimee Zhu after he had just dealt with the matter of the red lady, and Aimee Zhu also knew about Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan. And treat him tolerantly, he doesn't dare to provoke other women now, even going out to have fun is a bit guilty.

Unlike Cao Yue's guilty conscience, these women with different minds were very excited after seeing Cao Yue.Today, they all dressed up deliberately, showing their most beautiful side in front of Cao Yue, hoping to attract Cao Yue's attention.

Among the eight women, Liu Rushi should be the one with the least psychological burden, because she knows that among the sisters, only she has a substantial relationship with Cao Yue, and none of the others.Because of this, she has a psychological advantage, and she also believes that Cao Yue will place her and give her a title, even after accepting Hong Niangzi.So knowing that the other sisters had plans for Cao Yue, they didn't worry too much.She also knew that no woman could dominate Cao Yue alone, the princess Kunxing was the same, the red lady was the same, and so was any of them.

It is reasonable for Cao Yue to have other beauties. This kind of man is the one that all women in the world want to marry. She doesn't need to worry about it, as long as Cao Yue doesn't abandon her.

However, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan are worried about gains and losses, because they did not get any promise from Cao Yue. What they have now is all obtained after they made a brave decision. Maybe they will lose it one day. Before getting Cao Yue's promise , Before being owned by Cao Yue, everything is variable.What's more, they also knew that the other five sisters came to see Cao Yue today with a special purpose.These five sisters had made it clear before today that they wanted to be by Cao Yue's side, even if they were just doing things for Cao Yue.

They are full of danger!
