I am the king of the dead

Chapter 949 A Hero Is A Hero, Not A Tool Of Power
Shijing Factory was first built at the end of the 14th year of Orthodox. After two years of construction and production, it continued to expand in 12 years. By June of 12 in Jingtai, it occupied an area of ​​more than 1 on the Shijing Mountain outside Xizhimen. One hundred mu of land, bigger than ten imperial palaces, has five divisions and one bureau under its jurisdiction, Iron and Steel Division, Coal Well Division, Charcoal Division, Driving Division, Artillery Division, and Bingzhan Bureau. Constructing and imperial silver coins, Jingtai Tongbao, etc., is the largest iron and steel intermodal official factory in the Ming Dynasty, with more than [-] resident craftsmen, and nearly [-] craftsmen's families live in Jiangcheng Coal and Steel Park.

Shijing Factory represents the visible and tangible national policy of Daming to re-establish official factories. It is the largest carbon factory in Ming Dynasty, the largest commercial carbon supply factory, the largest energy supply office in Jingshi and Beizhili, and owns the The first charcoal furnace, the largest steel factory and finished steel product supply factory, and the charcoal furnace and converter of Shijing Factory were designed and built by Zhu Qiyu and Xu Siqi in the Bingzhan Bureau.

Shijing Factory is of great significance to Daming.

And now, Shijing Factory is on fire.

Xing'an can't find out what's going on, because Shijing Factory is currently organizing fire fighting.

"I want to go over and have a look. Lu Zhong ordered a thousand horses to follow me to Shijingchang." Zhu Qiyu stood up and gave orders to Lu Zhong.

Hearing this, Lu Zhong knelt on the ground without saying a word. This was the first time that Lu Zhong acted so boldly in disobedience.

Xing'an hurriedly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Shijing Factory has nearly a million catties of gunpowder. If you go there now, you may be in danger."

The Gunpowder Department is Lu Zhong's worry.

Lu Zhong, as His Majesty's eagle dog, disobeying His Majesty's order is a capital crime, but putting His Majesty in danger is also a capital crime. Waiting for death, Lu Zhong chose to disobey, which is not a difficult choice for Lu Zhong. He is strong, able to fight a hundred emperors, but he can't shoot, his bounden duty is to protect His Majesty's safety.

Zhu Qiyu was taken aback when he heard the words, of course he can say that the craftsmen of Ming Dynasty can go, they are all human beings, why can't he, the emperor, go?
But if something really happened to his emperor at this moment, his new policies would be nothing more than a fleeting cloud, and the great Ming being great again would be nothing but a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water.

Jingtai’s Zhengfu in the 11th year has just reached the level of Zhengfu in the first year of Yongle, the Daming Navy is dredging the sea in the West, Yuan Gongfang became the king of the mountain in the country of Japan to ensure that Japanese silver entered the Ming Dynasty, the development of Jilong Island is in progress, and the king of Tatar The re-opening of the Western Regions and Gansu has just been changed to the Chief Secretary of the Western Regions Xingdusi in Luntai. Duke Jun of Jiaozhi has just passed away, and Li Chengwen of the old port has just entered the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu picked up a golden yellow sword from the sword stand behind him, stood in front of Lu Zhong, and said very seriously: "Lu Zhong, I will give you the Yongle Sword, and I will take full responsibility for the inspection of this matter. Xing'an, let Li Yongchang With Fanzi Assistant, no matter where you find, even if you find Tai'an Palace, you will never tolerate it, and investigate to the end!"

"Call Tianzi Tiqi here."

Lu Zhong took the Yongle sword and said in a vibrating voice: "You will live up to your fate!"

Knowing the determination of His Majesty's will, Lu Zhong stood up and left the Juxian Pavilion, and then Tianzi Tiqi came to the imperial study with his visor on and his bright armor on.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another Yongle Sword and handed it to a Tianzi Tiqi and said sharply: "Tianzi Tiqi listened to the order and immediately took over the military and horse divisions of the five cities, closed the gates of the cities, and set up fences. No one can enter or leave without reason. Go to the military control of the official office, without an edict, no nobles and officials are allowed to move without authorization."

Tianzi Ti put on his armor and saluted for a while, took the Yongle Sword, and said calmly: "I am waiting for the order!"

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince, Duke Zhong, Duke Jin, Marquis Changping, and Prince Shaoshi are waiting outside the door." Xing'an reported in a low voice.

Yu Qian, Shi Heng, and Yang Jun were already waiting outside the door when they saw the thick smoke billowing in the direction of Shijingchang. They were worried when they saw Lu Zhong and Tianzi Ti riding in and out. The prince came to the lecture hall, waiting for His Majesty's announcement.

And the commanders and generals in the martial arts hall spontaneously gathered in the school grounds, waiting for the emperor's order in silence.

Standing by the window, Zhu Qiyu naturally saw all this, nodded and said, "Xuan."

Zhu Qiyu picked up two Yongle swords and handed them to Shi Heng and Yang Jun, saying: "Shi Heng, Duke of the Zhongguo, go to Beitu City immediately and wait for my order, Yang Jun, Marquis of Changping, go to Xitu City immediately, there is no order Command, those who are incapable of action will be beheaded!"

"The final commander!" Shi Heng and Yang Jun took the Yongle Sword and shouted loudly.

Yu Qian waited for Shi Heng and Yang Jun to leave before he whispered: "Your Majesty, the matter is far from this point."

"They ordered my Shijingchang, isn't it a rebellion? Why didn't it come to this point?" Zhu Qiyu sat on a soft rattan chair and replied calmly.

Hu Wei thought about it seriously, and said very firmly: "Your Majesty, if we civil servants, powerful men, and meat-eaters of Ming Dynasty have the courage, Taixi will eat them all, everyone He knows His Majesty's temper very well, if they dare to do one, His Majesty will dare to do ten."

"Some time ago, the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi made a conspiracy with captives, and none of the Beijing officials participated in it. The Shuntian Mansion still has a somewhat submissive heart."

Do the meat eaters really have the guts to sabotage His Majesty's New Deal?If it was in the first year of Jingtai, Hu Wei still had doubts. It has been 12 years of Jingtai, and Hu Wei doesn't believe it.

Shuntianfu is an absolutely loyal Shuntianfu.

"Your Majesty, you don't set fires during the day. Doesn't this mean that we craftsmen are not taken seriously?" Yu Qian knew the organization of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. source of troops.

"Yes." Zhu Qiyu replied, but it seemed that he didn't answer.

Yu Qian looked at His Majesty, whose face was sinking like water, and knew that at this time, everything was meaningless. After Liu's case, His Majesty's little trust in civil servants has returned to the orthodox 14-year level.

At this time in the Shijing factory, the general office of the Shijing factory and two association offices were leading the firemen of the Shijing factory to put out the fire, while the other three association offices were organizing craftsmen in other places to set up fire belts to prevent the fire from spreading.

"Mr. Chen, the fire has been brought under control for the time being. The situation of the Gunpowder Division is unknown. I'll go in and have a look." Liu Changshun, director of the Gunpowder Bureau, wiped the sweat from his forehead, his entire face was blackened by smoke.

Chen Youde looked at the smoke and dust in the sky and the flames were getting smaller, but he shook his head and said, "I'll go in and have a look too."

Chen Youde took Liu Changshun, the director of the Artillery Department, and 28 firemen, and walked into the Artillery Department without any hesitation.

Nianfu, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, came to Shijing Factory with two employees, Wailang, and four principals, and immediately went straight to the Gunpowder Department. As soon as he walked outside the Gunpowder Department, he asked several members of the committee: "Where is Chen Youde?"

"Inside!" Chen Qingyi, the Office of the Charcoal Division, said loudly: "Minister Nian stays behind, the situation inside is unknown, it is very dangerous."

"Have all the artisans of the Artillery Bureau evacuated?" Nian Fu asked again. He wanted to ask Chen Youde about the situation. Chen Youde had already entered the Artillery Department, and Nian Fu's second question was to ask whether the artisans had evacuated safely.

"When the copper bell rang, the craftsmen sealed and evacuated immediately." Chen Qingyi said immediately.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the gunpowder of the Gunpowder Department exploded violently. Nian Fu felt the ground under his feet tremble. The huge explosion made his ears buzzing. Trembling a bit, still spraying water at the artillery bureau.

"Stand back!" Nian Fu immediately took over the command and began to tell everyone to back off. The Gunpowder Bureau stores millions of catties of gunpowder. If all of them exploded, it would definitely not be this scene. He was killed, apparently an explosion occurred in the branch warehouse.

A fireman shouted loudly to Nianfu: "President Chen and Liu Huiban still have 28 firemen inside."

The explosion made everyone a little deaf, and they couldn't hear at all unless they howled loudly, but Nianfu said with a changed expression: "The fire is dangerous, no trespassing."

"I'll go in and have a look!" Chen Qingyi, the office of the Charcoal Division, bowed his head and said, "I'll bring a fireman in."

Nianfu thought repeatedly and said, "Okay."

Chen Qingyi walked in with a fireman and began to investigate. Nianfu waited outside the gunpowder bureau until the fire was completely extinguished. Lu Zhong led Tiqi to investigate the cause of the fire. Only a few people were left in each department to count the losses. , Most of the craftsmen returned to the craftsman city, and Nian Fu had been waiting in front of the gunpowder bureau.

There are two principals in the Ministry of Industry who are swinging their legs. If there is an explosion, they will bear the brunt and will undoubtedly die. But if Zuo Shilang doesn't leave, who can leave?
After a long time, Chen Qingyi came out. The two men were carrying a person, and the medical staff of the Tai Hospital who had been waiting for a long time rushed over immediately. , before being lifted onto the stretcher, both of them stopped breathing.

Chen Qingyi's body was full of traces of the fire scene, and there were mottled blood stains on his body. He looked extremely embarrassed. He walked up to Nianfu and said with a complicated expression: "There was an explosion and then a fire in No. 23 of Bank A to No. 25 of Bank B. Chen Zongban, Liu Huiban and 26 firemen died on the spot."

Chen Qingyi looked at the two firemen, and said with a serious expression: "Thirty people died."

Nian Fu said solemnly, "Can the fireman go in now? If we don't deal with it, it will blow up, and there will only be more casualties."

"It's dangerous, but you can enter." Chen Qingyi nodded and said.

"You rest first." Nian Fu turned his head and said loudly to the stokers present, "There are 28 stokers, who dares to come in with me?"

"I! I! I! . . . "

Nianfu brought 28 firemen into the gunpowder bureau again. If there is a danger of re-ignition or explosion, they need to be eliminated as soon as possible to prevent all gunpowder from exploding.

Zhu Qiyu has been waiting for the result without saying a word. The officials of the various government offices sat in their seats and watched the Tiqis patrolling with their knives on. Tiqi did not abuse the officials of the government office. Yifeng went to the toilet, but all of them were done under Tiqi's nose.

At the head of the willows on the moon, Lu Zhong led a few horsemen, galloped on the empty street, ran to the lecture hall, dismounted from his horse, and rushed into the lecture hall. After reporting, he saw the waiting Your Majesty.

"It was preliminarily concluded that it was not man-made, but that the weather was hot and there was little rainfall. The pile of coal spontaneously ignited and caused a fire. Tiqi is still investigating and repairing it." Lu Zhong reported loudly.

Yu Qian and Hu Wei were relieved when they heard it. If it was arson, the whole Ming Dynasty would have to shake three times. The emperor was angry, and millions of dead bodies were bleeding for thousands of miles. Fortunately, this incident was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. It is already flammable, and it has been summer for the past few days, and there has been no rainfall.

There are many things that are not in line with common sense. In order to be angry with the emperor, Xue Huan arranged for King Qingwei to die on a woman's belly. For the benefit of a few cents, what can't these bastards do?

The emperor cannot be blamed for reacting so violently.

"Take it as a drill to counter the rebellion." Zhu Qiyu asked, "How about the loss?"

Lu Zhong said with a serious face: "Chen Youde, the general manager of the Shijing Factory, Liu Changshun, the director of the Gunpowder Bureau, and 28 firemen entered the Gunpowder Department to eliminate risks. The warehouse exploded and caught fire, and died on the spot. The husband went in to check the situation. Nianfu, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, led the fireman into the fire scene again, and the preliminary risk elimination has been completed, and the fireman is cleaning the scene."

"For the remaining losses, the Coal Wells Division burned [-] jin of piles of coal, the Charcoal Division lost two rows of factory buildings, and the Gunpowder Division blew up [-] jin of gunpowder. The specific losses are still being summarized and reported to the Ministry of Finance afterwards."

Lu Zhong knew what His Majesty cared more about. His Majesty didn't care about economic losses. His Majesty only cared about people. The 30 people who died were all people who entered the Gunpowder Bureau to avoid danger.If the Gunpowder Division explodes continuously, the loss of Shijing Factory may be immeasurable.

Zhu Qiyu nodded after hearing this and said: "Recall Tianzi Tiqi, let Zhongguo Gong and Changping Hou come back, tomorrow I will go to condolences to the families of the victims. One should be a fireman in the gunpowder department, and each will be awarded a miraculous merit card and two hundred silver , those who died were treated as heroes and martyrs, and their children went to the Imperial College to study."

When Hu Wei heard that His Majesty had recalled Tianzi Tiqi, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let's have some food, it's been a day."

"Let's eat something together." Zhu Qiyu said to everyone, since the fire was approaching at noon, Zhu Qiyu hadn't eaten, and didn't reply to the memorial. It was a little hungry at night.

The officials in the government office still have Tiqi to eat. Zhu Qiyu is not angry with himself, but because the result has not come out, he can't eat.

Tianzi Tiqi returned to Juxian Pavilion one after another and returned the Yongle Sword, while Shi Heng and Yang Jun also returned the Yongle Sword to their lives. After hearing that it was initially determined to be a natural disaster, the stones in their hearts fell into their stomachs.

Lu Zhong's Yongle sword is still on his waist, obviously he still needs to check and mend it, and will not let any clues go.

After dinner, Zhu Qiyu said: "Chen Youde, Liu Changshun and the 28 firemen are heroes and martyrs. A hero is a hero and cannot be turned into a tool for power games."

"On weekdays, they scold me, and I don't bother to argue with them, but I don't want to see someone make a fuss about heroes. If they dare, I will compare every penny."

"No." Hu Yan said quite accurately: "The case of Xue Huan, the captain of the son-in-law, has not been over for a long time."

Yu Qian said tentatively: "Your Majesty, even if we emphasize safe production in this production, production accidents are inevitable. Every article of the production regulations is a lesson of blood and human life. The Censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Kodao speaker covered the sky with his hands to congratulate the President, and asked for a medal of meritorious service for the brothers Feng Bifu and Feng Bigui, who were kiln dwellers. The Shijing Factory seeped water, and the two brothers saved [-] kiln dwellers."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Yu Shaobao's words are reasonable, but I am still vigilant."

Zhu Qiyu clearly knew that this was prejudice, and he also admitted that it was prejudice.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
