Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Zhu Di frowned when he heard this: "What happened?"

The cavalryman quickly reported: "Your Majesty, the Tatar army suddenly moved south and has already captured several cities in the north!"

"What?!" Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this. "How could this be? Wasn't the Sky Eagle defeated by Lord Chu?"

Chu Ze was also shocked: "Could it be that Tianying has a backup plan?"

Zhao Xing sneered at the side and said, "It seems that you are just dealing with a small fry."

"The real big fish is still to come."

Chu Ze couldn't help but look at Zhao Xing when he heard this: "Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this? Do you know something?"

Zhao Xing shook his head: "I am just judging based on experience."

"Since you have already defeated the Sky Eagle, the next enemy that appears will definitely be more difficult to deal with than the Sky Eagle."

"Otherwise, wouldn't this scene be too boring?"

Chu Ze couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

Zhu Di did not have time to think about it at this time, and quickly ordered: "Pass the order down, the entire army will return to the capital immediately!"

"Lord Chu, gather the army immediately and prepare to fight the Tatars!"

Chu Ze took the order and immediately began to make arrangements.

The group hurried back to the capital. As soon as they entered the city, they saw the streets full of panicked people.

"The Tatars are coming!"

"Run away!"

"Oh my God, what should I do?"

The cries of the people rose one after another, and the entire capital was shrouded in panic.

Chu Ze couldn't help but frown when he saw this.

Zhao Xing sneered at the side and said: "It seems that your rule in this era is not very good."

"When faced with a crisis, people become like this."

Chu Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Zhao is right."

“But this is exactly why I stay in this era.”

"I want to give these people a better life and make the Ming Dynasty stronger."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but have a strange look in his eyes when he heard this: "Oh? You are really ambitious."

"But have you ever thought about what impact your actions will have on this era?"

Chu Ze was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Zhao is right, I really didn't think about it that much."

"However, now that I have come to this era, I have the responsibility to make it better."

"As for the consequences, I am willing to bear them."

Zhao Xing nodded when he heard this: "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will accompany you to the end."

"But you have to promise me one thing."

Chu Ze quickly asked, "Brother Zhao, please speak."

Zhao Xing said seriously: "If one day you find that what you have done will really cause the collapse of time and space, you must stop immediately."

"Otherwise, I will stop you myself."

Chu Ze was silent for a moment after hearing this, then nodded solemnly: "Okay, I promise you."

As he was speaking, Zhu Di's voice came: "Lord Chu, Brother Zhao, what are you talking about?"

Chu Ze quickly turned around and saluted: "Your Majesty, Brother Zhao and I were just discussing how to deal with the Tatars."

Zhu Di nodded: "Okay, then come up with a solution quickly."

"I have summoned all the civil and military officials and am waiting for you."

Chu Ze and Zhao Xing looked at each other, then followed Zhu Di into the palace.

In the main hall, all civil and military officials have gathered together, each with a solemn look on their face.

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "My dear ministers, now that the Tatar army is heading south, our Ming Dynasty is in danger."

"Do you have any good ideas?"

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and for a moment no one spoke.

Seeing this, Chu Ze couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Your Majesty, I have a plan!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a thin old man standing out.

Chu Ze took a closer look and was shocked.

This old man was none other than the famous treacherous minister in the court, Wei Zhongxian!
Wei Zhongxian smiled sinisterly and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, why not hand over Chu Ze in exchange for peace?" As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Chu Ze's face darkened and he was about to speak when Zhao Xing stopped him.

Zhao Xing sneered, stepped forward, and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Your Excellency is wrong."

"Chu Ze is a pillar of our Ming Dynasty. How can we hand him over so easily?"

"Besides, the Tatars are greedy and will not give up even if Chuze is handed over."

"Why not take this opportunity to completely eradicate the Tatars and prevent future troubles!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone nodded in agreement.

Wei Zhongxian's face changed when he saw this: "Who are you? How dare you speak nonsense here!"

Zhao Xing sneered and said, "I am Zhao Xing, Chu Ze's sworn brother."

"Your Excellency, as an important official of the court, proposed such an unwise strategy. What is your intention?"

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, his face turned pale and he was about to lose his temper, but Zhu Di spoke.

"Okay, stop arguing." Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "Brother Zhao is right. Lord Chu is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty. How can we hand him over so easily?"

"However, with the Tatar army approaching, we cannot just sit there and wait for death."

"Lord Chu, do you have any good ideas?"

Chu Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Chu Ze stepped forward and said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty, I have a plan that can ensure that the Ming Dynasty will be safe and sound!"

Zhu Di was delighted when he heard this: "Oh? Tell me about it."

Chu Ze looked around at everyone and said slowly, "Do you remember the new weapon I developed a few days ago?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing this, Chu Ze couldn't help but raise his lips slightly: "It seems that everyone has forgotten."

"Then let me remind you all."

As he spoke, Chu Ze took out a small black cylinder from his arms.

Everyone took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp.

The cylinder was pitch black and its surface was as smooth as a mirror. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.

"This is." A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

Chu Ze smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has a good eye, this is exactly the secret weapon I have developed recently."

"I named it 'rocket launcher'."

"Just one shot can destroy a city!"

Everyone was talking about it, some were amazed, while others looked skeptical.

Wei Zhongxian sneered: "Chu Ze, are you exaggerating?"

"How can a tiny cylinder be so powerful?"

Chu Ze couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "If you don't believe it, Lord Wei, why don't you try it yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian's face changed: "You..."

Seeing this, Zhu Di quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, since Minister Chu dares to say so, he must be sure of it."

"How about this, we conduct a test launch outside the city tomorrow and let everyone see it with their own eyes?"

Chu Ze's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help."

"I promise that I will not let Your Majesty down."

Zhu Di nodded: "Okay, that's settled then."

"My dear ministers, gather at the training ground outside the city at noon tomorrow."

"I want to personally witness the power of this 'rocket launcher'!"

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

After the court was dismissed, Chu Ze and Zhao Xing walked side by side.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask: "Chu Ze, is your 'rocket launcher' really that powerful?"

Chu Ze smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao, please be patient, you will know tomorrow."

When Zhao Xing heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

At noon the next day, all civil and military officials gathered in the parade ground outside the city.

Zhu Di sat high on the viewing platform, surrounded by people.

Chu Ze and several of his trusted followers came to the center of the field carrying a huge iron box. (End of this chapter)
