I am the king of the dead

Chapter 101 The Assassin King Kills the Driver (Subscribe)
Xu Siqi is a live-in craftsman, Wang Gong's factory is on the side of the palace, but the treatment at Wang Gong's factory is not very good.

He can receive one or two taels of salt and silver every month. When the price of food in the capital skyrocketed, he couldn't even afford food rations.

But after he was rated as a master craftsman of the fourth level, he received a salary of three renminbi a day and nine liang of silver a month, which was enough for two children to study.

Before that, he hadn't dared to think about it at all.

As for whether the craftsmen could take the imperial examination after studying, he didn't care much, but it was something he didn't even dare to think about before to make his son study properly and rationally.

Xu Siqi knew characters, but it was limited to some characters used in daily life.

Xu Siqi worshiped the new Emperor of Ming Dynasty like a god, not only after the new Emperor of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, brought about earth-shaking changes to the lives of him and their craftsmen, but also not only after the new Emperor of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, he kept the capital , Repelled the invading enemy of Wala.

There are also all kinds of whimsical ideas of the new emperor of Ming Dynasty, which can always solve many of their problems.

This ability to comprehend by analogy was also one of the reasons why Xu Siqi respected the Ming Emperor.

In short, for them, Emperor Ming was a good emperor, he was absolutely sure of this.

Occasionally, he would brag with his wife, saying that seeing His Majesty is not as easy as meeting His Majesty.

Because Zhu Qiyu really often came to Wang Gong's factory for inspection.

This habit, in fact, will give people an opportunity to take advantage of.

Xu Siqi led the craftsmen of Daming to start the furnace in full swing. Under the impetus of several strong men, the fan was slowly pushed, and the bellows blown the heated wind into the furnace through the wind hole.

The flame in the furnace was bright yellow and turned into yellow-white. Under the burning of charcoal, the iron ore and quartz stone slowly melted the molten iron. Under the yellow-white flame, the impurities were quickly oxidized and jumped into the smoke Road, there was a gurgling sound in the pool.

And the molten iron finally filled the [-]-jin converter. A craftsman hammered off the windshield with force, and the cold wind rushed into the converter, and the yellow-white molten iron began to boil slowly. True white.

Some impurities visible to the naked eye floated on the surface of the molten iron. Amidst the yelling of a crowd of wrestlers, the converter rotated, and the molten iron flowed out. It flowed into the ladle made of iron sheets and refractory soil in the hands of the craftsmen, and began to cast steel ingots.

The mold of this kind of steel ingot was specially made by tinsmiths, and the foundry workers built it into a sand mold, and finally the steel ingot was cast in bursts of rising smoke.

In fact, as early as when the molten iron in the converter began to boil, Zhu Qiyu already knew that his whimsical idea had succeeded, but he still watched the whole casting process with great interest until the sand mold was opened.

The steel ingot appeared in front of Zhu Qiyu with steaming heat, and Zhu Qiyu nodded contentedly.

How to improve the charcoal stove and jingtai stove is left to the master craftsmen of Wang Gong Factory.

He is only responsible for providing an idea.

"Your Majesty! It's done!" Xu Siqi rushed to Zhu Qiyu's side like a gallop, his eyebrows were beaming, but he didn't know how to express his feelings, he was at a loss for words.

Lu Zhong stood beside Zhu Qiyu, with a push, the Xiuchun knife was out of its sheath, but was blocked by Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu warned: "Master Xu, hurry up and renovate these two furnaces. I will build a large-scale charcoal factory and steel factory in Xishan!"

"On the premise of safety, maximize the output."

"Daming lacks steel and charcoal, firewood, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are the most important. It is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in Daming. You must keep this in mind, and you must not delay the important matter."

"The grassroots lead the decree." Xu Siqi was so excited that he bowed back and went to toss about his Jingtai stove and charcoal stove again. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty brought him a new way of thinking.

Zhu Qiyu was in a good mood, and wandered towards the gate of Wang Gong's factory, repeatedly telling Xing'an and Lu Zhong that Xing'an was in charge of Yanxing Building, while Lu Zhong was in charge of Jinyiwei.

What he urged was of course that the Oirats had sent a new spy, Liu Yu. He had already got the news, but he couldn't catch anyone.

Recently, all kinds of evil winds have sprung up in the capital, so it is natural to find this Liu Yu and punish him.

If this kind of second devil is not caught and cut, how can he be punished?

Xing'an nodded in agreement, Lu Zhongze didn't lose his mind at all, and led Jin Yiwei to observe the surrounding scene.

The backgrounds of the craftsmen in Wang Gong's factory are very clear, they will not assassinate Zhu Qiyu.

In the past, Zhu Qiyu used to ride horses to and from Wanggong Factory and Prince Yi's Mansion, and today is no exception, that war horse is standing beside the imperial road, very honest, completely different from the unruly and staunch before the war.

There is a little surprise between today and the past, and that is the horses.

It was supposed to be near the Dismounting Stone outside Wang Gong's factory, but today it is next to the Royal Road.

The dismounting stone is about five steps away from Wang Gong's factory, and the imperial road is about nine steps away from the gate of Wang Gong's factory.

On the left and right of Wang Gongchang to Yudao are private houses with about two floors. Zhu Qiyu walked towards the horses as usual.

"Lilu!" The docile war horse suddenly tugged on the rein in the stableman's hand, struggling like crazy.

He stopped and frowned and looked at the two-story houses in the distance.

When the horse neighed, he felt a bone-piercing chill from the tailbone straight to the sky. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the sharp reflection of the arrowhead, and he also saw the rounded muzzle of the firecracker.

"Danger!" Lu Zhong kept looking left and right, obviously noticing the abnormality.

At the first moment of danger, Lu Zhong stood in front of His Majesty and let His Majesty hide behind him.

Xing'an rushed directly in front of Zhu Qiyu and made a second human wall. Xing'an's speed was already very fast, but when the situation was critical, an afterimage flashed past and blocked the front.

Nine riders didn't leave an inch, and quickly rushed over, standing in a human wall, blocking everyone's front.

When Lu Zhong yelled, the arrow had already left the string, spinning in the air and drawing a beautiful arc, and the sound of the gunfire had already sounded, and the roar was followed by the scream of lead piercing the air.

At least ten arrows and six shots shot at Zhu Qiyu head-on.

In the blink of an eye, Jiuqi, Lu Zhong, and Xing'an all stood at the front without hesitation.

Zhu Qiyu just hugged his head in a subconscious reaction, and then there were bursts of violent impact, hitting the plate armor of Jiuqi who was guarding Zhu Qiyu.

ding ding dong.

"Your Majesty!" Lu Zhong roared angrily, and the Jinyi guards surrounded Zhu Qiyu, and the Jinyi guards who were waiting around quickly surrounded the house without entering the door.

A loud bang was heard, and someone lit the gunpowder on the second floor, and the flames burst into flames.

When the people heard the sound of gunpowder exploding, they immediately dispersed with screams.

Some people jumped from the upstairs and rushed out from the corner of the street, rushing towards Zhu Qiyu, but were immediately killed by the Tiqi on the spot.

Moreover, several Jin Yiwei also specifically picked out non-fatal places to strike, just to keep alive for interrogation.

When the sound of the explosion came, two figures rushed out from the other side. These people did not hold firecrackers.

The ignition time and accuracy of the fire door guns were really bad, so they chose a safer approach to assassinate.

Lu Zhong is a well-tested sergeant, and he still did not relax his vigilance during the chaos.

When these two people appeared, Lu Zhong noticed them. When the people scattered and fled, the two retrogrades were really eye-catching.

Before Lu Zhong could open his mouth, two arrows pierced the eye sockets of the two with a whistling sound, and they seemed to be dead.

It was a sudden assassination.

Zhu Qiyu's unremarkable gray-brown horse had already broken free and rushed to Zhu Qiyu's side, screaming incessantly.

"Hurry up and pass on to the Imperial Physician!" Xing'an roared eagerly, looked left and right, ignored the scar on his leg, and rushed to the Imperial Physician.

"Your Majesty, are you okay! Your Majesty!" Lu Zhongren was dumbfounded.

In broad daylight, in front of Wang Gong's factory, the assassination of the king actually happened!
He was a little panicked.

The assassination of the king this time made Lu Zhong fall into a state of madness.

"Why panic!" Zhu Qiyu stood up, stomped his feet, checked around, and found that the clothes were not torn.

Zhu Qizhen has been rescued by Yuan Bin many times, and now Zhu Qiyu is surrounded by Jiuqi Tiqi as guards.

What can happen?

He patrolled around, shook his head again and again and said: "A group of novices, dare to assassinate the king before I can hit them accurately? This is too imprecise."

"Once checked to the end, and found out, they were all cut!"

Zhu Qiyu was quite calm, he was somewhat expected to visit Wang Gong's factory all day long.

If he had the heart, it would not take much trouble to launch such a joke-like assassination.

But at this moment, if he could get twenty steps closer to the emperor, he, the emperor, would be worthless.

　The day it was put on the shelf happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 1449, [-], the day when the Tumu Fortress was shocked. It is such a coincidence in history.
