Chapter 548 The play is over.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "We have nothing to do. Let's go and see what you said first."

"Row."

Yao Bin did not dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang board the ship this time, mainly because the noise of the cannon fire was too loud. What if Zhu Yuanzhang was accidentally sent away?
"Grandpa Huang, because the sound of the cannons is too loud, we should stay on the dock."

"Really?"

"Really, I won't even go up there, I will just stay at the dock and grow old with you."

Yao Bin is a smart man, but he doesn't have any protective measures. When the ship's giant cannon fires, will his ears be able to withstand it?
But some people just don't believe in evil, such as King Zhu of Jin. He insisted on going to the ship to see how the cannons were fired, but when he saw the cannonballs being transported out on carts by several people, he started to beat his heart.

Although he didn't know exactly how powerful it was, he had seen grenades and mortar shells that were much smaller than this, and those things were very powerful.

It was many times bigger now, and the weight was still so heavy. It must be a lie that he wasn't afraid.

Could it be that this thing is really as the emperor's grandson said, that it will disappear after being fired into the palace?

"Actually, when it comes to fighting, it has to be your fourth uncle. The fourth uncle's wisdom on the battlefield is much stronger than that of your second uncle and third uncle."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A guard came down and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, all preparations have been completed. I would like to ask for your permission if we can conduct a test of the artillery."

This shot cost fifty taels of gold, and it would be an exaggeration to say that it was worth eating gold.

"Xiao Heizi, what is that you are holding in your hand?"

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to go out to fight the Japanese pirates after the naval training was completed. However, he did not agree to Yao Bin's proposal to play in person, but he did not reject it either.

"What, you still know the weather at sea?"

The two of them agreed in unison. Zhu didn't know what to say at this moment. According to his estimation, the palace would definitely be gone after this shot.

When Zhu Ming saw this huge pit, he couldn't believe his eyes. If he had to dig it out with human power, it would take several thousand people and several months to dig it out.

Yao Bin could see what the old man was thinking: "Second uncle, take someone to the scene to have a look. Xiao Heizi will also go to the scene with King Qin and take some photos for the emperor to see."

It took Zhu Yuanzhang a while to come to his senses. If he were as young and strong as when he was founding the People's Republic of China, he would definitely go to the scene to see what was going on. But now he is old and cannot climb to the top of the mountain.

"No, since he made a mistake, let's take care of him."

"Well, can't we just let these little dwarves continue to harm the fishermen along the coast of Ming Dynasty?"

When Zhu Xi knew the function, he decided to go back and ask for one. If it didn't work, he would spend money to buy one. He knew that his nephew liked gold.

"Second uncle, this tablet is very small. Although it is small, it is very delicate."

At that moment, he felt that the mountain opposite must have trembled.

"Your Highness, this is a tablet given to your slave by His Highness. You can watch videos and take photos."

After returning to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Yunxi, have you wanted to attack Japan for a long time?"

In fact, the weapons owned by Yao Bin seem to be of no use to the war in a feudal society like the Ming Dynasty, and no wisdom or military talent is of any use, because the strength can already crush everything.

Zhu Gan laughed twice: "Very good, Your Highness has such a weapon, then our Ming army can go directly to the Japanese island."

Zhu had quietly disembarked from the ship at this time. He disembarked just in case. If there was an accident, he would be implicated if he stood under the cannon.

Yao Bin asked tentatively: "Then Grandpa Huang, are you going to lift the fourth uncle's grounding now?"

Then more than thirty people started operating according to the order.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Xiao Heizi took a few photos and some videos with his tablet. This was a task assigned by the emperor's grandson.

"Photograph?"

"Ok."

"Know something, but not much."

Japanese pirate kamikaze? Legend has it that on the way to conquer Japanese pirates, the Yuan army encountered a typhoon and the entire naval force suffered heavy losses. Since then, the Yuan Dynasty has never had this idea. But this is just a legend. Could it be true?
"Grandpa Huang, the kamikaze is a figment of the Japanese pirates. It is just some climatic phenomena. Besides, even if our giant ship encounters the kamikaze, nothing will happen."

Therefore, Yao Bin would not agree to Zhu Di's proposal to re-enable him.

Don't worry about other things, just push it flatly.

"Yes."

"Uncle Third, what do you think of its power?"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was not very used to what Yao Bin did, he was still very satisfied when he saw the majestic aura of the guards. He nodded and said, "Let's get started."

This thing is really powerful. If it were to hit a little dwarf Japanese pirate, it would definitely hurt, right?

"Everyone listen to my order: scale 365, direction 26 to the left, height plus one, aim at the hilltop across the river and fire."

"Everyone listen to my order: scale 365, direction 26 to the left, height plus one, aim at the hilltop across the river and fire."

After a loud bang, the naked eye could see the movement above on the other side of the river. It was still such a long distance away. Yao Bin took a look with a telescope and saw a large crater directly on the top of the mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but said worriedly: "Why don't we know? The ban on maritime trade in recent years has been forced out of necessity. Do you know what happened in Qian Yuan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang did not wait any longer here, because it would still take time to cross the river, and he was not in a hurry.

Yao Bin added: "Bring out all your training skills and let the emperor see the training results of the new army."

"Then, then, it's gone?"

Yao Bin shook his head: "That's not true. If you want to buy it, you have to pay more."

In the end, the tablet was sold by Yao Bin for two thousand taels of gold, which was the price of a jeep sold to the ministers. Although the tablet was small, it had high technological content.

"No problem, I'll find someone to deliver it to you when I get back."

Zhu Fang took the tablet back with satisfaction, and asked Yao Bin to download the video of that thing. The reason why he was so persistent was mainly because of the video of that thing. Don't ask how Zhu Fang knew about it, just ask Xiao Heizi. This guy didn't take care of himself.

In the following days, the Navy will participate in training every day, and in addition to daily routines, they will sail into the sea every month so that they can become familiar with the sea environment as soon as possible.

"Xiao Heizi, how many jeeps have been sold in recent times?"

"Your Highness, according to slave statistics, Jinling City has sold at least a thousand jeeps."

"Does that mean there are still more than 300 vehicles left in the warehouse?"

"Yes, there are three hundred and twenty left."

In the future, auto repair and refueling will also be a big tool to deceive people. Ordinary people can't afford cars anyway, so it's better to let these people spend more money to buy more equipment.

Time quickly came to a year later. During this period, Yao Bin built a thermal power plant and a water plant in Jinling City. As for how the money came from, it was naturally from the wool of these large households.

The navy had almost completed the training, and the ship was named "Da Ming Hongwu" by Yao Bin. This made Zhu Yuanzhang laugh from ear to ear after hearing this. This grandson has always cared about him as a grandfather.

It is now the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu. Zhu Yuanzhang is really getting older. He has wanted to pass it to Yao Bin several times. He wants to live a retirement life. He spends every day raising flowers in the back garden to amuse his little granddaughter. , I go to wash my feet from time to time.

It's a pity that Yao Bin himself is unwilling. Otherwise, he will immediately agree to lead his troops to the Japanese island and discuss the matter of ascending the throne when he comes back. Zhu Yuanzhang refused to agree at first, but as time went by, he had no choice but to do so.

"Yunxi, we only have one request: bring your fourth uncle with you this time."

Now Zhu Di has been lifted from the ban, but the military power in Peiping has been relieved by Zhu Yuanzhang. He has also become the first prince in the Ming Dynasty to be relieved of military power.

The King of Qin, Zhu Xi, was very smart and immediately handed over his military power. Since he couldn't defeat him anyway, he might as well hand it over immediately, followed closely by the King of Jin, Zhu Di, who also became Yao Bin's number two horseman.

"Okay, if Fourth Uncle goes this time, I guess his horizons will be broadened."

The old man's meaning is very simple. After seeing Yao Bin's full strength, he probably won't think about it anymore.

"Well, go get busy."

"it is good."

After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Xianxian and Zhu Yunwen were now married, but they never went to the feudal lordship because they were suppressed by Yao Bin. Of course, Xiao Xianxian didn't want to leave Jinling, so he was just happy like this.

Zhu Yunwen was also a man with ruthless ears, so he agreed without thinking.

Zhang Chuchu is now Yao Bin's person. In this world, she and Zhu Di have nothing to do with each other. In addition to helping train people, she also comes back to warm the bed every day, and she takes advantage of all the good things.

"Chu Chu, I will set off to conquer the Japanese islands soon. When I come back, Grandpa Huang will pass the throne to me."

"Your Majesty will actually become the Supreme Emperor so soon?"

This surprised her. Although she had not read history, she knew that those in power would not give up their power easily.

This was the first time she had seen someone take the initiative to abdicate.

Yao Bin sighed: "Grandpa Huang is tired. He wants to enjoy two years of happiness."

Although the legendary emperor in Chinese history had the power to dominate the world, he was still a bad old man in the final analysis. Fortunately, he has taken good care of his body in the past two years and is expected to live longer than in history.

Before leaving, Yao Bin told Zhu Xi that he must be optimistic about the cement road. Although it is fully connected now, he is afraid that some people will charge arbitrarily. After all, these are legal road purchases.

"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will always supervise you. I am not the Minister of Transportation for nothing, so just keep an eye on me."

It's a pity that we can't go to the Japanese island together this time. Zhu Yuanzhang has already ordered Zhu Di to accompany him, so naturally he can't follow.

"Well, go get busy."

Zhu Feng returned home in a hurry. Since he got a tablet, he suddenly felt that he had a lot more interesting things.

Of course, he still had to do what he was told, and he didn't dare to delay the business.

"Uncle Fourth, long time no see."

Zhu Di had a bitter look on his face, but he still said respectfully: "I have met His Highness Taisun."

At this moment, his face no longer had the unruly look it once had. His previously fair face was now covered with beard, which made him look much more mature.

"Well, fourth uncle, I need you to give more advice to my nephew this time."

"I don't dare to make any suggestions, but I will definitely share your worries for His Highness."

"Well, let's go."

This time there were many large ships accompanying them, all carrying new troops. The Hongwu's carrying capacity was limited.

After more than a year of training, the various ships have already cooperated very skillfully. I think there will be no accidents this time.

Yin Yang Guan and Yin Yang Sheng (navigation meteorological officials of the Ming Dynasty) have discovered that there have been no storms and waves on the sea recently. They are mainly proud of the instruments brought by Yao Bin. These people cherish these meteorological instruments as if they were treasures.

Because there was a wooden boat accompanying it, the Hongwu's speed was very slow, basically moving at a snail's pace.

Ten days later, the fleet arrived at Washima (Kyushu Island). Everyone cheered. After more than ten days of sailing, they finally saw land. Yao Bin thought that if the Hongwu sailed forward at full speed, it would be there in one day at most.

Zhu Di put down the telescope and said: "Your Highness Taisun, we should be at the Japanese island, and the city should be in front of us."

"Well, what are you waiting for? Tell the main gun to prepare to fire."

For these people, Yao Bin has no intention of letting them go. He will first destroy the city wall with a 365mm cannon. As for how many people will be killed or injured, that has nothing to do with him.

"Yes."

Following the order, there were several rumbles, and then Zhu Di saw a scene through the telescope that he would never dare to forget in his life. After a few shots, the city wall was completely gone, and most of the buildings in the city were also lost.

And there is still no man or horse on my side, so this battle is still a rough start. Although the Japanese pirate city is not as good as the Ming Dynasty's city wall, it is not much stronger.

No wonder Yao Bin did not build city walls at all in the newly built industrial bases, because there was no need for them.

A month later, the new army occupied Kyushu Island, with a total of 50,000 troops coming this time.

"Fourth Uncle, I plan to return to Daming. I'll leave the affairs here to you."

Of course, I just let Zhu Di manage it temporarily, and give him a try by the way to see if this guy can trick the new army into rebelling.

"As ordered."

Zhu Di had never thought of tricking the New Army into rebelling. Recently, he had noticed that the New Army was clearly Yao Bin's personal armed force, and now even his father could not command it.

After returning to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang decreed that the throne be passed to Yao Bin. This was actually a change of name. Now the emperor's grandson was not the loser in the Ming Dynasty matter, and the emperor did not care about it at all.

After Yao Bin ascended the throne, he had no intention of changing the reign name. He directly used the reign name of Hongwu. Later, the reign name of Hongwu would be spread all over the world and directly replace the AD for later generations.

Anyway, big fists are king. If Westerners are not convinced, then beat them to convince them.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not express any opinions on this, and he could do whatever he wanted. He didn't care about anything anyway.

Subsequently, Yao Bin carried out a series of reforms. The emperor only controlled the military's financial and personnel rights. As for business matters, basic work goals were set every year and then handed over to the cabinet for implementation.

Of course, Yao Bin must have the power of supervision in his hands. If anyone dares to make any twists and turns, he will be beheaded. The most fearful thing is that he will be involved in mining.

Zhu Yuanzhang had objections at first, thinking what if his ministers rebelled? But after two years of observation, nothing seems to have happened. The Zhu family had the final say in the Ming Dynasty.

The cabinet is just a jobber.

In the spring of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty officially wiped out the remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty, and its territory had reached Siberia.

In the autumn of the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, the daimyo officially incorporated the four Japanese pirate islands into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but there were no locals there anymore. Later, a large number of people were urgently relocated there.

In the autumn of the 29th year of Hongwu, rubber was officially introduced. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty established a steam engine research and development project, not only cement roads, but also the development of trains and other means of transportation.

At this time, Ming Dynasty was already the largest country in the world. No country could compare with it in terms of territory, population or technology.

Zhu Datou has become a recognized currency in world trade. Later, Yao Bin issued banknotes that were equivalent to the silver dollar. Although it was just a piece of paper, it was gradually accepted by people because of its exquisite style and stable exchange rate.

In the spring of the thirty-eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang finished his life, seven years longer than in history. Mainly because he had nothing to worry about, and with the medical technology brought by Yao Bin, longevity was normal.

After Zhu Yuanzhang passed away, Yao Bin continued to change the entire Ming Dynasty according to his plan. At this time, the entire southeastern peninsula was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and Malacca, a transportation hub for later generations, was no longer useful.

Decades later, Jinling has become the center of the world, and the entire Yangtze River Delta has become an economic, financial and military center that can surpass the world.

All the rules in this world were formulated by the Ming Dynasty, and the common language in the world was Chinese. The Ming Dynasty maintained such strength until hundreds of years later.
