The First Corrupt Official of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 202 Lord Ye is actually learning from Feng Chu and Pang Tong, and Queen Ma tells Zhu Yuanzhang the truth again!
These new weapons that Zhu Yuanzhang had never heard of immediately made him aware of a problem.

That was his understanding of Yanmen Arsenal, which was still too one-sided. After all, he only did odd jobs there for one day.

Especially the firearms production area of ​​Yanmen Arsenal, he had never even entered.

It was just because of the power of the ninety cannons that were tested together that he focused all his attention on the cannons.

You must know that the Arms Bureau of the Ming Dynasty had a firearms production workshop, which not only produced cannons, but also produced firearms such as blunderbuss and pistols.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that the firearms production area of ​​Yanmen Arsenal, in addition to producing the new Hongwu cannon, which is far superior to the Hongwu cannon, also produces better firecrackers.

But he never expected that Yanmen Arsenal could produce new firearms that did not exist before.

Although the armors, swords, and cannons he had seen were better than those made by the Imperial Arms Bureau, they were basically just improvements based on existing weapons.

It is not unusual to improve products with better performance based on the experience and technology of predecessors. It can also be said to be the norm of the Chinese nation.

The reason why he was shocked was because Ye Qing's improvement and progress were so great, as if he had progressed for hundreds of years at a time.

But no matter how fast the progress is, it is only an improvement after all, and it is completely inferior to the merit of creation!

"Not only can he develop rice seeds with a yield of six to seven hundred kilograms per mu, but he can also invent new weapons?"

"Fire oil bombs, ten thousand enemies, intercepting giant arrows?"

Zhu Yuanzhang silently recited the names of these two new weapons in his mind. He knew that the names of any weapons were not taken for granted.

The name of the weapon is actually the abbreviation of the weapon's purpose, either a concise expression or an exaggerated expression.

It is not difficult to understand the kerosene bomb. It should be a firearm that mainly burns!
Just the words "enemies of ten thousand people" made him feel a little interesting!

Not only was the 'Ten Thousand Enemies' interesting to him, but the 'Intercepting Giant Arrow' made him want to quickly figure out what kind of weapon it was.

The word "giant arrow" is easy to understand. It should be the giant arrow fired from the crossbow bed.

How can a giant arrow that can be used for a strong attack be combined with the word 'interception' which means defense?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of the words "combination of contradictions".

Just when he thought of these four words, he immediately felt that it was a fantasy, because in his understanding, only the combination of yin and yang was reasonable, and the combination of contradictions was simply impossible!
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out on his own, so he immediately looked at Ye Qing.

He really didn't want to ask Ye Qing for advice anymore, but driven by strong curiosity, he was still ready to ask for advice.

In other words, please ask Mr. Ye to show him what is going on.

But before he could say anything, Ye Qing sat down and yawned: "That's it for today!"

"Wang Baobao won't make any more moves. Let's go and do whatever we need to do. Don't ask me to eat tonight."

As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, he went straight back to his room to sleep.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Ye Qing's retreating back. Not only did he suppress all his questions, but he was also so angry that his chest was on fire.

"Master Ye, you just don't care?"

"If Wang Baobao suddenly calls because you missed something important, you will..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could say anything, Ye Qing just walked away and said, "The worst possible outcome is to be killed by the emperor. How big a deal is that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, in order not to let Mr. Guo delay his sleeping time, Ye Qing quickened his pace and did not give him a chance to continue talking nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and helpless at the same time after hearing such an answer.

He has traveled all over the country for so many years, and he has seen everyone, but he has never seen such a person who treats being killed by the emperor as a trivial matter.

But at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of the death memorial that Ye Qing had given him.

To this day, he still thinks that his sister's analysis is correct.

Ye Qing was definitely not really looking for death, he just wanted to use this unique method to attract his attention in order to achieve the goal of reaching Tianting directly.

It's just that Ye Qing is willing to gamble with his life!

The bet was successful, and this maverick Mr. Ye successfully attracted the emperor's attention!
If he lost the bet, he would die under the emperor's wrath!
"He clearly knows that Mr. Guo is someone who can talk to His Majesty. Why is he still looking for death?"

"You clearly say that you have a country but no master in your heart, and you just leave your post without permission, and you treat being killed by the emperor as nothing?"

"What the hell does he want?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a long time and couldn't figure out what Ye Qing wanted to do!

"We don't care what you want to do, if you really miss something big because of your absence without permission, we will definitely let you be killed by the emperor!"

"."

After Zhu Yuanzhang secretly felt cruel, he left the combat command room and returned to his guest room.

That night,

In order to ensure the logistics of the Yanmen garrison, Queen Ma, who had settled the accounts for a long time, also returned to her room after get off work.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still sitting there with his golden sword and his armor still on, and there was a little bit of complaint in his eyes.

"I said Chongba, you are used to being taken care of. You won't take off your armor without me, right?"

"I'm still thinking, I've been squeezing your shoulders for most of my life, and today you can help me press my head!"

Queen Ma seemed to be complaining, but she still walked behind Zhu Yuanzhang out of habit, preparing to skillfully remove his armor.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately refused to remove his armor, then pulled Queen Ma over and asked her to sit on a chair.

Immediately afterwards, he walked around behind him and patiently and gently pressed Queen Ma's head.

by candlelight,

These big hands, which were used to holding murder knives and could hardly hold pens, were so gentle at this moment that Queen Ma even started to close her eyes and enjoy it, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

While Zhu Yuanzhang was pressing Empress Ma's head, he asked with concern: "How can you be so rare with the logistics account books of the Four Guards Garrison?"

"Why do you look like you are using your brain too much?"

"Think back then, your account of our hundreds of thousands of troops was not bad at all!"

Queen Ma just sighed and subconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but she still swallowed the truth.

Empress Ma just thought to herself: "As I get older, my health is not as good as it used to be. Even before, I was just holding on through gritted teeth. If I don't help you, a poor man, settle the accounts, how can you fight the war with peace of mind?" Woolen cloth?"

Thinking of this, Empress Ma immediately smiled and lied: "I have been a queen for six years, and suddenly picking up this business is still a bit unfamiliar and difficult. I will be fine in two days."

"Don't mention it yet. You really can't say that he is just a member of the logistics team of the Four Guards."

"If you had seen the logistics prepared by Ye Qing for the four guards, you would have given such a speech." Zhu Yuanzhang asked hurriedly: "What speech?"

Queen Ma smiled and said, "I have never been so rich in my life!"

"Everyone knows that fighting a war is all about logistical supplies, but Ye Qing has taken this seriously very impeccably!"

"The logistics materials he prepared for these four guards are enough for the forty guards elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately frowned.

The reason why Empress Ma smiled and spoke was because to her, she was reporting good news to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As long as her family Chongba subdues Ye Qing's fierce horse, her family Chongba will not have to worry about logistics no matter how they fight in the future.

But Zhu Yuanzhang’s thoughts were different!

He naturally knows what his sister is thinking. If he can tame this fierce horse, it will be a good thing for everyone.

But judging from the current situation, does Ye Qing, who clearly says he has a country but no master, really have a chance to be conquered by him?
Not only that, he didn't even believe the literal meaning of Ye Qing's words, 'The worst possible thing is to be killed by the emperor, what a big deal'.

The literal meaning of this sentence is that he does not take being killed by the emperor seriously. If the emperor really wants to kill him, he will be like the meat on the chopping board and will never make any resistance.

But is this possible?

This is impossible no matter how you think!

Instead of making him believe the literal meaning of this sentence, it is better to make him believe the reverse meaning of this sentence.

The meaning behind this sentence is, 'The reason why I don't take being killed by the emperor seriously is because I have the ability to prevent the emperor from killing me'!
When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he felt chilled in his heart, and his brows were filled with murderous intent.

There is no other reason,

Just because he is the emperor, he must control the power of life and death for everyone. He can make anyone rich and prosperous for a lifetime, but he can also make anyone's head change at any time.

Only by ensuring this will he not feel threatened!
But the news that Queen Ma brought back was enough to prove that if he allowed Ye Qing to develop further, he really wouldn't be able to kill Ye Qing even if he wanted to!
If this is not the strength of four guards, but the strength of forty guards, Ye Qing will let the soldiers of these forty guards live a better life than ever before.

If that were the case, the Forty Guards army would have defeated Yingtian before his beheading knife fell on Ye Qing's neck.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows wrinkled directly.

At this moment, Queen Ma, who was no longer so tired, immediately asked: "Chongba, why don't you take off your armor this late at night?"

"You don't even want me to remove your armor?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard such a question, he remembered the reason why he was sitting here waiting for his girl.

He wanted to tell Queen Ma about Ye Qing's performance today and see if Queen Ma, who was so attentive, could give him a different opinion.

Not only that, he also wanted to go to Yanmen Pass with Queen Ma to see the new weapons being installed overnight.

After Zhu Yuanzhang thought of this, he immediately said all the most brilliant words that Ye Qing said today.

Among them, he focused on the truth that Ye Qing "has a country but no master"!
After hearing this, Queen Ma disapproved and said, "Is that why?"

"What do you mean it's just because of this? Isn't this serious?"

Empress Ma held Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and said with a gentle smile: "He clearly knows that you, Mr. Guo, can talk to His Majesty, and he knows that I, Mrs. Guo, am Empress Ma's clan sister. Why does he dare to speak righteously?" Say this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang just kept a straight face and said angrily: "It's not that he thinks he has a long life, or he really doesn't take us seriously."

Queen Ma shook her head and said, "How can he, a person who enjoys life more than those corrupt officials, think he has a long life?"

"In my opinion, he is imitating Feng Chu!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes immediately lit up: "Learn from Feng Chu?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the word "Fengchu", he immediately thought of the allusion to Pang Tong, the "Fengchu" during the Three Kingdoms period.

When Pang Tong went to Soochow, he was also arrogant and did not take Sun Quan seriously.

But Sun Quan neglected Pang Tong and lost this top counselor!

After Pang Tong came to Liu Bei's camp, he also made various difficulties and did not take Liu Bei seriously, but Liu Bei repeatedly treated the virtuous corporal.

The final result was that Pang Tong not only repaid him with his talent, but also repaid him with his life!
After Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out, he immediately held Empress Ma's hand and said with a relieved smile: "Then let's learn from Liu Bei for once?"

"It's just that his eloquence is much more cunning than Pang Tong. I'm really afraid that I can't help it."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he immediately bit his back molar out of habit!

Not only Zhu Yuanzhang was worried about this problem, but even Queen Ma was worried about this problem. It has to be said that with Ye Qing's eloquence, without her Queen Ma, he, Ye Qing, would not have been dead for how long.

When Queen Ma thought of this, she just smiled sheepishly.

Ye Qing's eloquence has become so good that she is still trying to persuade her Chongba to learn from Liu Bei. She does feel a little embarrassed for her Chongba.

But there was nothing I could do about it. Putting words aside, Ye Qing was indeed the talent that her family Chongba and the entire Ming Dynasty needed!

In order for the Ming Dynasty to surpass the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty, for all Chinese people to have food and clothing without worries, and for her family Chongba to become the eternal holy king, she must continue to endure it no matter how hard it is.

As the saying goes, if water drips for a long time, it can penetrate a stone. How can Ye Qing's heart be harder than a stone?
One day, Ye Qing will definitely kneel in front of them and burst into tears of gratitude.

She, Ma Xiuying, firmly believes in this!
At this very moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not yet taken off his armor, immediately said: "Sister, come with us to Yanmen Pass to have a look."

"We didn't know until now that our understanding of Yanmen Arsenal is too little. It can also be said that we know too little about Ye Qing."

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang explained in detail the last military order issued by Ye Qing.

Although Empress Ma did not personally lead troops on the battlefield, she also served as Zhu Yuanzhang's "chief weapon manager".

If nothing else, as long as she is given a cannon, her performance will definitely not be worse than that of a professional artilleryman.

Because of this, after hearing the names of these new weapons, she immediately became interested, and the tired look she had before suddenly disappeared.

"Fire oil bombs, ten thousand enemies, intercepting giant arrows?"

"It's a bit interesting, especially the interception of giant arrows. It's a bit of a combination of contradictions."

"Chongpachi, help me find a set of armor, let's go take a look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma who was eager to fly over immediately, and he was a little unexpected. He had thought that her sister would be interested, but he did not expect that she would be so interested.

After more than half an hour,
Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma and Mao Xiang came to Yanmen Guanzhong Gate.

In their eyes, the soldiers were acting according to Ye Qing's orders.

Because of the firelight, they could clearly see the entire process of transforming a 'tower crane' into a 'super long-distance trebuchet'!
