I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 258 A new weapon named grenade

Jiangxi, Nanchang Prefecture.

At this moment, Cao Shunhe, governor of Jiangxi Province, is leading the officials in the government office to see him off out of the city.

"No need, just send it here!"

I saw Hu Zongxian riding on a maroon horse, looking away from Cao Shunhe, saying so.

"Well, precious."

"treasure."

After exchanging treasures, Hu Zongxian immediately led the army in Zhejiang and set foot on the way home.

At this moment, Wang Shun's team changed from the front army to the rear army, responsible for the rear of the large army.

"This battle was really enjoyable. I didn't encounter any decent resistance throughout the whole process, so it ended hastily!"

"Yeah, it's over before I get back to it."

"I think when I was in the city back then, as long as you dared to resist, you could just take a knife and slash it, not to mention how fun it was."

"I heard that the pay this time will still be paid according to the previous practice, that is to say, the court will pay double the pay. Not only that, the pension is also very generous!"

"No matter how high the pension is, what's the use of it? You have nowhere to spend it. You can only hope that your family will burn some paper money for you during the holidays."

As the troops marched slowly, several of Wang Shun's subordinates began to chat, their tone full of reluctance.

"Hmph, let me tell you, as long as we fight with Governor Hu, we will have a good life!"

"Not to mention anything else, just in terms of pay, our soldiers in Zhejiang are much better than those in other places."

"I heard that the guards in Fujian were owed half a year for their salaries!"

Listening to his subordinates' discussion, Wang Shun couldn't help feeling a little funny in his heart, and couldn't help but join in.

Seeing that their superior, Wang Shun, also joined them, the soldiers became even more excited, and quickly asked Wang Shun about the previous battles.

As we all know, Wang Shun achieved the position of President Qian step by step by relying on the accumulated credits. He participated in several large-scale battles before!

And it is precisely because of the living example of Wang Shun that the soldiers fought extraordinarily hard, and their combat effectiveness was amazing. After all, no one is willing to be inferior and wants to climb up step by step!

"Listen well, the governor took us..."

……

The Forbidden City, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

At this moment, Jiajing was sitting next to the desk, typing a draft, and saw that it said what he would explain in the next lecture at the Imperial College.

At this moment, Lu Fang walked into the Hall of Mental Cultivation with silent steps.

Before Lu Fang entered the door, Jiajing heard his voice.

"Your Majesty, great joy!"

"Oh, what a happy event?"

Jiajing was quite puzzled by Lu Fang's excitement, so he raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Your Majesty, didn't you go to the Ordnance Department earlier and came up with the idea of ​​grenades?"

"The Weapons Division has restored this thing called a grenade."

Faced with Jiajing's inquiry, Lu Fang did not dare to hide anything, and immediately told everything she knew.

"Oh, the Weapons Department actually made it."

Jiajing said with surprise on his face after listening to Lu Fang's narration.

"Yes, Your Majesty, before this, the Weapons Department has conducted many experiments!"

"This new weapon called a grenade is very powerful. It is said that it can blast a big hole in the city wall!"

Seeing that the emperor was very interested in this matter, Lu Fang immediately described it happily.

When Jiajing heard this, he knew very well that there must be some exaggeration in it.

However, Jiajing was still very interested in the weapons manufactured by the Weapons Division according to his own ideas.

Immediately, Jiajing turned his gaze to Lu Fang and ordered so.

"Lu Fang, go and call Yan Song and the others together, and go and have a look with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slaves are going to inform Mr. Yan Ge and the others."

After responding respectfully, Lu Fang quickly left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and walked towards the direction of the cabinet.

……

In the cabinet, several people were reviewing the relevant memorials, while Gao Gong looked sullen.

Seeing this, Zhang Juzheng asked in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"It's okay, after the auction ended, I did some calculations and found that the shipping certificate of the Maritime Trade Department was sold too cheaply!"

Faced with Zhang Juzheng's question, Gao Gong shook his head and responded like this.

"The certificate of going to sea is indeed sold at a low price. It only takes a year at most to earn back the little money these merchants paid!"

"I'm thinking, should we send another memorial to His Majesty? For these merchants, we should introduce corresponding regulations to manage them, right?"

After hearing Gao Gong's troubles, Yan Song, who was at the side, interjected immediately.

"Old Yan Ge's idea is good, and he should send a memorial to His Majesty."

Xu Jie at the side heard this and followed closely.

At this moment, there was a sound of panicked footsteps from outside the cabinet, and a subordinate staff walked in quickly, saying so.

"Eunuch Lu is asking to see you outside!"

"Let him in now."

Seeing this, several people hurriedly ordered so.

"Yes!"

The subordinate immediately took the order and left, and after a while, Lu Fang entered the cabinet with light steps.

"I've seen Eunuch Lu!"

Under the leadership of Yan Song, several people in the cabinet immediately saluted Lu Fang calmly.

"No need, Your Majesty asked me to inform you, and I will go to the Weapons Department with him later!"

After looking around, Lu Fang announced the news to everyone with a smile.

"Your Majesty wants us to accompany him to the Weapons Department?"

"Could it be that the Weapons Department has made any progress?"

Yan Shifan on the side couldn't help guessing after hearing the news from Lu Fang.

"Could it be that the new cannon developed by the Ordnance Department has made progress?"

After combining the current information, Zhang Juzheng gave his own thoughts.

"No, not at all, let me tell you, it was the idea of ​​a new type of weapon called a grenade proposed by His Majesty, which was restored by the Weapons Department!"

Lu Fang shook her head helplessly, and after a moment of hesitation, she finally chose to reveal the correct answer.

"Grenade, what is this? I've lived most of my life, why haven't I heard of it?"

Seeing this, Yan Song immediately raised his doubts.

"Yeah, what is this thing called a grenade that can make His Majesty so excited!"

Xu Jie on the side, under the narration of everyone, also became interested in this new weapon called grenade.

"Our family is not too sure about the details. According to the people from the Weapons Department, this grenade is something that is thrown from the hand!"

"It's like a cannonball, except it's thrown from your hand."

Seeing this, Lu Fang bit the bullet and explained to everyone by looking through the few knowledge reserves in her mind.

"Now that I've said it, I understand. It turns out that it's a cannonball that can be thrown at the enemy and explode!"

After listening to Lu Fang's narration, Yan Shifan also had a general impression of grenades.

"Everyone, don't waste any more time, His Majesty is still waiting for us in the Hall of Mental Cultivation!"

"Oh, okay okay."

Hearing Lu Fang's reminder, everyone realized that now is not the time to discuss the principle of grenades, and they have to go to His Majesty's side immediately.
