Daming heir

"ten years!"

In the Longjiang Shipyard, beside the shipbuilding platform where countless craftsmen are busy, Zhu Yuanzhang looks rosy, looking at the group of craftsmen and officials headed by Zhang Ergong.

"Zhang Ergong, don't forget the ten-year agreement between you and me."

Zhang Ergong bowed and clasped his hands in fear, "I will never forget!"

"Hahahaha..." The emperor let out a burst of hearty laughter, walked up to Zhang Ergong, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said in a voice that only Zhang Ergong could hear: "I am getting old. , but I still have a prince and a grandson. You just do things, if Daming, as you said, has a fleet that is invincible above the ocean, I will protect you as a prince."

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing with a smile on his face, the grandson of the Ming Emperor who was personally appointed by him.

Zhu Yunxi understood, stepped forward with small steps, bowed and nodded: "Grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang still said in a voice that could only be heard by the three people present: "When the steam warship starts to build the second ship, the Jinzhang Ergong will be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. This is the promise my grandfather made to him."

There is not much time left for Wang Jun, the current Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry!

At most, it will wait until the turn of spring and summer next year, when the first steam warship returns from Jiaozhi Road to Yingtian, then it will be formally finalized and construction of the second one will start.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, glanced at Zhang Ergong who hadn't reacted yet, then cupped his hands and said: "Grandson understands, and we will discuss this matter with the cabinet at that time."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi lifted his foot and lightly kicked Zhang Ergong's calf.

Only then did Zhang Ergong come to his senses, and he immediately bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, sir."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with a smile: "Just now on the river, I looked at the fleet escorting the Japanese workers back, and remembered that Ren Hengtai told me that Yingzhou should be divided into several roads. What I mean is that the main island of Yingzhou is divided into two. Set up two roads. The two big islands in the south will be combined into one, and the North Sea will be set up as one. At that time, the imperial court will send a few more seasoned and prudent officials to the administration."

Zhu Yunxi understood, and then took another look at Zhang Ergong, and said softly: "Cao Guogong is doing very well in Yingzhou now, and the matter of pacifying the place is also progressing rapidly. I think the imperial court will be able to set up four more ways for Daming in Yingzhou next year. As a respectful veteran, my grandson thought that Wang Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, should be the first to recommend it."

"Then let him."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and then looked sideways at Zhang Ergong: "Whether you are a minister or a servant, you should be loyal to your duties. The Ministry of Industry is where you work. You just need to do a good job for the court."

Zhang Ergong was a little panicked.

His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Taisun, it seems that in just a few words, Wang Jun, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, will go to Yingzhou as the chief envoy in the coming year, and he seems to be promoted to another level.

Zhang Ergong said nervously, "I don't know how to be a minister."

"Hahahahaha..."

Zhu Yuanzhang burst into laughter immediately, and then said: "Approve what you think should be done, and not approve what should not be done. If you don't understand something, you can scold."

Can you still be a minister like this?

Zhang Ergong was a little puzzled, but Zhu Yunxi who was on the side had a smile on his face.

When it comes to selecting talents, after all, his own father is better.

"Let's go, it's been a long time, my family's Sheng'er and Fuling girl, it's time to miss me."

Seeing that the matter was finalized, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and left contentedly.

"I will send you to Your Majesty."

……

"The ministers welcome His Highness the Emperor Taisun."

"Students welcome His Highness the Emperor Taisun."

In front of the martial arts lecture hall, the military generals of the court who were teaching, as well as many martial arts students who had never had a class at the moment, gathered here, and saluted the grandson who came down from the carriage.

Zhu Yunxie looked very calm. He had been to this lecture hall too many times, and every plant and tree in the lecture hall could be said to have grown up under his watchful eyes.

It's just that if today's eunuch hadn't followed the order and informed in advance, the martial arts hall wouldn't have come out to greet him with such enthusiasm.

"Let's all go in, it's just a decree, let's look at the future of our Ming army, how well we have learned it now."

Zhu Yunxi was very casual, his eyes flicked over the crowd several times.

Then there was a little surprise in his eyes. Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, who didn't want to go back to Beijing and wait for the Beijing army's turn to continue to leave the capital, was also here.

Cao Zhen noticed the grandson's attention, raised his head and smiled innocently twice.

Dongguan Bo Herong, who recently presided over the academic courses of the lecture hall, stepped forward with his fists clasped: "Please wait for the order."

After finishing speaking, He Rong took the lead in clasping his fists and landing on one knee.

This is the rule for warriors to obey orders.

After He Rong, all the meritorious officials, military generals, and military students in the audience all folded their fists and landed on one knee.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the eunuch carrying the imperial decree and leaving the palace with him.

The eunuch immediately stepped forward: "My family is happy, the emperor is immature, in order to keep things going smoothly, I changed the book to the martial arts students studying in the martial arts hall, and organized them into a young army to protect the emperor's heirs."

The emperor's will was as plain and straightforward as ever.

But the overall meaning is also simple and clear, that is, from now on, all martial arts students who have studied in the martial arts hall and have not graduated will be organized into a young army, nominally to protect the royal heirs.

There is no official rank, and no specific division of powers, it is just a name.

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together and looked down at everyone: "Get up."

I didn't know the old man's will beforehand.Organize Wusheng into a young army to protect the emperor's heir.But the reason is that the emperor is happy, and the emperor is immature.

So in essence, this is a will to strengthen the royal family's control and influence over the martial arts hall.

From an ordinary martial arts student in the martial arts hall, he became a pro-army of the royal heir.After that day, these martial arts students returned to the army after graduating from the martial arts hall, and their identities would naturally be different.

Bo Herong of Dongguan got up and went to Zhu Yunxie's side: "Your Majesty's grace, from the lecture hall, remember the five things, and never forget your majesty's grace."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "The left and right are just the title of a young army, and they are not on duty and will not be given officials. When I knew it before, Gu thought that Grandpa Huang was too stingy."

He Rong shook his head again and again, looked at those martial students who had changed from ordinary Ming soldiers to imperial heirs, and said in a deep voice: "After today, all martial arts students who teach martial arts will be royal soldiers. It is really the luck of us warriors."

The martial arts students who have no homework here are also very happy.

So what about going straight to the military guard?It is the emperor's pro-military, but the tens of thousands of people directly pro-military guards are not so precious.

But the young army is different, only the martial arts students in the martial arts hall are, and according to the will, once the martial arts students graduate from the martial arts hall, they will be automatically separated from the identity of the young army.

In terms of numbers, a martial arts lecturer with hundreds of people is much rarer than tens of thousands of military guards.

Zhu Yunxi smiled without saying a word. The martial arts students gained a glorious status, and the royal family gained a more loyal group. This is a happy thing for everyone.

Seeing that the decree had been read out, Jingchuanhou Cao Zhen tiptoed up to him, and said with a playful face, "Your Highness always comes to the martial arts hall, but I want to make those gentlemen and students of the Imperial College feel wronged."

This guy has always been so messy.

Zhu Yunxi just glanced at this guy: "Jing Chuan Hou has not led the army to leave Beijing yet?"

Cao Zhen's face immediately showed helplessness, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is too tedious. I came back with soldiers and horses. Wouldn't it be enough if they replaced me with a new army? It's best to take people back as soon as possible.

They said that the governor's mansion was re-established, the affairs were complicated, the Beijing army had to be reorganized, and the guards had to take turns. They even swore that they were carefully selecting soldiers who could recruit and fight for the humble ministers.

Your Highness, sorry to see you, besides the Nine Borders, the Eastern Expedition, and the Southern Expedition, where does my Ming Dynasty need to go to war?The humble minister was just taking the soldiers and horses of the Beijing army out of Beijing for a stroll. "

Here, Cao Zhen complained frantically about the efficiency of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

He Rong on the side couldn't help laughing: "Marquis Cao only dared to say this in front of His Highness. If Duke Wei heard about it, Marquis Cao would have to eat and hang up again."

Zhu Yunxi also smiled lightly.

After the cabinet meeting that day, Xu Yungong scolded Cao Zhen for an asshole, but it spread among the nobles.

But at the end of that day, Cao Zhen was still brutally slaughtered by the crowd.

It seems that at that time, the Secretary of the Jiaofang also got the news in advance, and even started to raise the price of sitting on the ground. Cooperating with everyone made the Hou Ye feel distressed for a long time.

But the effect is still very good, at least the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is busy recently, and it is also speeding up the rectification and deployment of troops, so that Cao Zhen can lead the army to leave Beijing as soon as possible.

He Rong signaled the surrounding martial arts students to disperse.

Then he asked his grandson softly, "Does Your Highness want to walk around the lecture hall today?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "What classes are you teaching now?"

He Rong thought about it carefully, and replied: "Now there is a military training class, the horse army charge into the battle class, and the artillery class is on."

Zhu Yunxi frowned: "Who is teaching the artillery class today?"

"It's the craftsman sent by Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Industry, who was asked by the martial arts hall to talk about the theory of artillery and the detailed operation of various artillery in the army."

The lecture hall even invited craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to give lectures, which Zhu Yunxi had never known beforehand.

He couldn't help but glanced at He Rong with satisfaction.

This group of meritorious military generals who are regarded as reckless men still have some brains after all, and they can also show their face. They went to civil servants to teach the military students.

He immediately said: "Go over there and have a look, don't disturb the lectures inside."

He Rong understood that the grandson wanted to listen outside the classroom.

He immediately let the insignificant people around him leave, and he, Cao Zhen and several other veterans in Beijing who had presided over the martial arts lectures for a long time accompanied the emperor grandson to the Artillery Classroom.

In an instant, everyone arrived outside the artillery class.

Zhu Yunxi walked in the front, and before he got to the back of the classroom, he heard the passionate teaching sound coming from the classroom.

"Today's theory of artillery and various methods of artillery operation are just a general introduction, and I will explain it in detail in the following lessons."

"And here, I would like to share a few words with you."

The voice in the classroom paused for a while.

Then, it was a loud inquiry.

"Cannon! What is cannon?"

There was another short pause, the martial arts students in the classroom whispered, and some people gave answers loudly.

"It's for killing people."

"Artillery can be used for siege."

"It can defend against foreign invasion."

However, the craftsman who came to teach today seemed not satisfied with the answers given by these samurai students.

"No, no, no!" The craftsman shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice, "What you said makes sense, but it's not the biggest truth. What is artillery?"

The craftsman asked again, but this time no wusheng made a sound.

The entire classroom was silent, and everyone was waiting for an answer that would satisfy everyone from the craftsman who was not a warrior.

"Cannon! It is used to measure the territory of our Daming!"

"When you walk out of this lecture hall and reach the frontier formation, as far as the artillery under your command can shoot, the territory of Daming is as far as it can go!"

"Da Ming! It will be because of you! Because of the artillery you ignited! It will become even stronger!"

hiss……

Outside the classroom, although everyone kept quiet, everyone seemed to be able to hear the surprise and amazement in the hearts of those around them.

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the craftsman who had stood up from the podium in the classroom.

Cao Zhen blinked fiercely, and looked in through the window outside the classroom, trying to see what the craftsman teaching the class looked like.

In that case, can a craftsman say it?

He can't even count as a civil servant!

He Rong was a little hesitant, and whispered: "Your Highness, this is also the first time that the Martial Arts Hall invites craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to give a lecture. I don't know what they will talk about in advance."

Civil officials are afraid of resorting to military action, and military generals are also afraid.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and shook his head: "Do you think what he said makes sense?"

"..." He Rong became more and more entangled. After much deliberation, he still decided to follow his heart: "I feel that there is some reason."

Zhu Yunxi looked back at Jing Chuanhou again.

Cao Zhen nodded inwardly: "I also think it makes sense."

He then looked at the generals teaching in the lecture hall.

All the generals nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yunxi smiled: "What's this person's name?"

"Ai moves forward."

Zhu Yunxi's eyelids moved suddenly, and he was about to speak, but Tian Mai hurried over from the front.

He was about to speak, but Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to stop him.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi looked at He Rong again: "Take a copy of what this Mr. Ai taught today and send it to Taisun's Mansion. In the future, all the lessons he taught will be copied in the martial arts hall and delivered to Taisun's Mansion."

That man actually fell into Taisun's eyes!

He Rong immediately reacted: "I have taken orders. When I turn around, I will ask Zhang Shilang to drink a few more drinks, and leave this Mr. Ai in the martial arts hall."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at He Rong indifferently, but did not comment.

Instead, he put his hands behind his back, gave Tian Mai a look, and the two walked out.

The people who were thrown outside the classroom saw Tian Mai coming, and knew that Taisun must have other important matters, so they never followed him.

Cao Zhen was a little confused: "What's the matter?"

He Rong turned his head to look at Lord Cao, and snorted twice: "Yesterday I went to the Governor's Mansion, and they said that Cao Hou's affairs can be done in two days, Cao Hou should come back earlier. Ying, don’t stay in my lecture hall.”

?

Cao Zhen's eyes widened, but in the end he could only wave his sleeves indignantly.

And Zhu Yunxi, who was about to walk out of the martial arts hall, walked forward and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Tian Mai followed behind, lowered his head and whispered back: "The foreigner is back, it is the foreigner named Fan Chong."

Tian Mai's tone was a bit weird, which made Zhu Yunxi quite curious.

Looking back at Tian Mai whose expression became a little weird, Zhu Yunxi became even more curious.

Can foreigners still call?
