Ming Dynasty: A hundred-year-old immortal cultivator, Zhu Yuanzhang’s biological father

"If you don't understand something, go ask that kid Xiongying."

"All right!"

"Retreat!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left.

All the officials dispersed!

Just as Zhu Xiongying was about to leave, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong immediately grabbed him.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has assigned me this mission, the Air Force!"

"I've never heard of it. You have to help me!"

Xu Da smiled bitterly.

"Your Highness, we in the Ming Dynasty also have a navy!"

“Why do we need to build it?”

“How do you build this?”

Li Wenzhong and Xu Da held Zhu Xiongying tightly and kept talking to him.

"Two Dukes!"

"Will you let me have a word?"

The two were stunned and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Let's go to the East Palace!"

................................................

East Palace!

"Grandpa Xu, this is the air force development plan I made, take a look."

"Uncle, this is from the navy, take a look too!"

Zhu Xiongying handed the two of them a small notebook.

The two of them opened it and took a look, sometimes frowning, sometimes excited, their expressions changing constantly.

"Your Highness, this plan is good, but there are some things in it that I really don't understand."

"Forgive my ignorance, Your Highness, please give me some advice."

"What doesn't Grandpa Xu understand?"

"You say!"

Zhu Xiongying put down the teacup and said lightly.

"Your Highness, what is a bomber? What is a fighter plane?"

"What does a strategic transport aircraft have?"

"What is Mach in this?"

"And what is this missile?"

"..."

Xu Da asked a lot of questions, and Zhu Xiongying answered them all one by one.

As he spoke, he had several boxes brought over and placed in front of Xu Da.

"Grandpa Xu, the books here are enough for you to know about the Air Force and fighter jets."

"so much?"

"Grandpa Xu, you are the Grand Marshal of the Air Force. You have all this knowledge. Otherwise, how can you form an air force?"

Xu Da nodded and said, "Your Highness is right. I will take a good look at it when I return."

Zhu Xiongying nodded: "Uncle, it's your turn!"

"Your Highness, what is this aircraft carrier?"

"What is an aircraft carrier formation?"

"And this nuclear power, what is it?"

"And what about this submarine...?"

In response to Li Wenzhong's question, Zhu Xiongying also had someone bring a few boxes and placed them in front of Li Wenzhong.

"Your Highness, is this for me?"

"That's right!"

"How come it's more than Duke Wei's?"

"Of course, the navy has a lot of equipment!"

"Aircraft carriers, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc."

"There are also submarines. These things are all in the aircraft carrier formation."

“Of course there are more!”

"Take a good look!"

"After you finish watching, I'll take you to see some of the big guys. There are surprises!"

"What surprise?"

"You'll know then!"

"All right!"

The two of them immediately took the books given by Zhu Xiongying back home.

In the following days, the two of them stayed in the study at home, reading books non-stop.

Apart from eating and sleeping, I was reading books and constantly catching up on my knowledge.

Zhu Xiongying also thoughtfully provided them with talents in various fields, allowing them to ask if they did not understand something.

One month later!
They came to the East Palace!

"Your Highness, we have finished reading the book you gave us."

"After reading it, I realized your talent."

"I admire you so much!"

"Yes!"

"I didn't expect that wars could be fought this way. We have fought for half our lives, but we are still not as good as you, Your Highness!"

Zhu Xiongying waved his hands when he heard this: "Stop complimenting me."

"You are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. When it comes to fighting, I am no match for you."

"Your Highness is too modest!"

Zhu Xiongying waved his hand.

"Your Highness, are the equipment mentioned in the book really that powerful?"

Li Wenzhong asked curiously.

"Of course!"

“That’s not the best.”

"Is there anything more powerful?"

"Of course!"

"For a city like Yingtian, only one missile is needed to raze the entire city to the ground."

The two were so shocked they were speechless when they heard this. If they hadn't seen what was said before, they would definitely not have believed it.

But after reading those books, they will definitely believe it.

"The power is so huge that if one of them goes down, it could kill tens of millions of people!"

Xu Da on the side said with a serious expression.

"Of course!"

"So weapons like this are generally not used lightly, they are used for deterrence."

"The destructive power of this weapon lies not only in its power when it explodes, but also in its subsequent toxicity."

“People who are infected will suffer from various diseases, and there is no cure for this disease.”

"They will all die in pain in the end."

Hearing this, the two were even more shocked.

"Your Highness, what exactly is this terrifying weapon?"

"nuclear weapon!"

"Atomic bomb, hydrogen bomb!"

"Your Highness, are we going to make such a terrifying weapon?"

"It's too powerful, it's really against the harmony of nature!"

Xu Da said with a serious expression.

"Grandpa Xu, you don't have to use this thing, but you can't live without it."

"As long as you have this thing, others will not dare to touch you, and will greet you with a smile."

"If you don't have it, when the Ming Dynasty declines one day, you will become a target for everyone to bully."

"If I have this thing, even if the Ming Dynasty loses its present glory one day, I will be fine."

"With this thing, the people of our Ming Dynasty will not be bullied."

"Your Highness, I understand what you are saying."

"But this power is too great, and if it kills too many people, people will spit on it."

Xu Da said with some difficulty.

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"This weapon is too terrifying and difficult to control!"

Li Wenzhong on the side also expressed his opposition.

"Well, let's go find Old Zhu."

"Look at his opinion!"

"it is good!"

......................................................

Royal study room!
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was discussing state affairs with Zhu Biao.

Zhu Xiongying rushed in with Xu Da and Li Wenzhong. Xu Da originally wanted to report it.

But he was pulled in by Zhu Xiongying!
"Old Zhu, Old Zhu!"

"What are you yelling about, little bastard?"

When he saw Xu Da and Li Wenzhong behind him, his face looked a little unhappy.

"You little bastard, you don't follow the rules yourself, but you drag others along with you, right?"

"Old Zhu, don't worry about those details!"

"We came to see you for business."

"Fuck away!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently.

"That's your attitude, isn't it?"

"Hey? You little bastard!"

"You broke into the imperial study room without permission, and you think you are right, right?"

"That's you. If it were someone else, do you know what crime this would be?"

"If you assassinate the king, your entire clan will be killed."

"cut!"

"You're killed! My nine clans also include you, the Empress Dowager, and the Crown Prince's father."

"You kill me!"

"If you dare, kill me!"

Xu Da and the other man standing by broke out in cold sweats after hearing this. Your Highness!

That's you!
If it were someone else, the grass on the grave would be three meters high, right?

"Xiong Ying, you are not allowed to talk to your grandfather like that."

Zhu Biao on the side quickly scolded.

"I say, Prince Father, I have taught you for so many years, why are you still like this?"

"Why don't you dare to fight with Old Zhu?"

"Hey? Little bastard!"

"You want to corrupt your father again, don't you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he stood up and wanted to teach Zhu Xiongying a lesson.

But he was stopped by Zhu Chang who was standing nearby.

"Father, please calm down!"

"You know what kind of person Xiong Ying is."

"Why bother with him?"

"Besides, you can't catch up, right?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang instantly became unhappy.

"What do you mean we can't catch up?"

"Can't we catch up?"

"We don't want to chase."

"Come on, come on, with your old arms and legs, you still want to catch up with me?"

Zhu Xiongying on the side said with disdain.

"Hey? You little bastard, say that again?"

"Father, please calm down!"

"Xiong Ying, what else do you want to say?"

Zhu Biao glared at Zhu Xiongying.

"Okay, okay, I won't say any more!"

"I wanted to tell you that my Ming Dynasty can be passed down for thousands of years, but since you are not interested."

"I'm leaving!"

With that said, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

"Little bastard, what did you just say?"

"nothing!"

"You're not interested, I'm leaving!"

"and many more!"

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly came to Zhu Xiongying and immediately put on a smiling face.

Every emperor wants his kingdom to be passed down for thousands of years, but the facts have proved that it is really difficult to do so.

Didn’t powerful nations like the Han and Tang dynasties also perish?

"hey-hey……"

"My eldest grandson!"

"what did you just say?"

"nothing!"

"I'm leaving!"

"Don't, don't, don't..."

"hey-hey……"

"My great grandson! Our great grandson!"

"Talk to Grandpa!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a flattering expression.

Xu Da and Li Wenzhong on the side blushed profusely and tried their best not to laugh out loud. They hadn't seen Zhu Yuanzhang like this for a long time.

"Old Zhu, you wanted to hit me just now!"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Good good..."

"Grandpa Huang is wrong, please tell me..."

"You really want me to tell you?"

"Say!"

"Then apologize to me!"

"Don't push your luck, little bastard."

"Don't want to?"

"I'm leaving!"

"and many more!"

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly grabbed Zhu Xiongying.

"Good good..."

"We apologize to you!"

"It's Grandpa Huang who is wrong, okay?"

"That's pretty much it."

Zhu Xiongying then repeated what he had just discussed with Xu Da and the others.

Upon hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became solemn, and Zhu Biao beside him even broke out in a cold sweat.

"Father, such a huge killing weapon cannot be made!"

"Once it is used by someone with ulterior motives, there will be corpses everywhere!"

"Too cruel!"

The kind-hearted Zhu Biao was the first to stand up and oppose.

"Tian De, Bao Er!"

"What's your opinion?"

"Your Majesty, my suggestion coincides with that of Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"The destructive power of nuclear weapons is too great. It is too terrifying."

"Once it comes out, it will cause great suffering to all people."

"Your Majesty, I share the same opinion."

Faced with the opinions of the two, Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head in thought.

"What's your opinion, little brat?"

"Of course my opinion is to build it. Although this thing has great lethality, it is generally not used lightly."

"It is mainly used for deterrence. As long as the Ming Dynasty has this thing, no one can shake our Ming Dynasty."

"And the most important thing is this."

"What is it?"

Several people's eyes focused on Zhu Xiongying.

“The world is so big, and there are so many talented people. If we don’t create, someone else will.”

“By then, others will have it, but we won’t.”

"That would be a devastating blow to us."

"If someone lands a star in Yingtian, what will happen to the Ming Dynasty?"

"I still say the same thing, you can do without this thing, but you can't live without it."

"Having a sword but not using it and having no sword to use are two different things."

"If someone throws that thing on the heads of the people of our Ming Dynasty one day, what will be the consequences?"

Hearing Zhu Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"Ok!"

"You are right. We cannot be controlled by others. If one day, our Daming is led by the nose by others."

"Then we won't be able to rest in peace even if we die."

"approve!"

"Let Daming Heavy Industry start researching nuclear weapons right now."

"Your Majesty, if you want to build nuclear weapons, it will cost countless manpower and resources!"

"Can the Ming Dynasty sustain it?"

Xu Da on the side spoke up.

"Grandpa Xu, take your time!"

"If one year doesn't work, then two years. If two years doesn't work, then three years. Five years. Ten years!"

"Even if it takes a hundred years, we must get it. Only with it can the people of our Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment."

"That's right!"

"Xiong Ying is right. As long as we have that thing, who dares to provoke the tiger whiskers of our Ming Dynasty?"

“This thing has to be done.”

"Ok, deal!"

"You are fully responsible for this, little brat!"

"no problem!"

Zhu Xiongying said, patting his chest.

"All right!"

"Go back!"

"We still have things to do!"

"gone!"

Zhu Xiongying walked out with a swagger.

........................

Outside the imperial study!

"Your Highness!"

"What's wrong, uncle?"

"Your Highness, a month ago you said that I had a surprise after reading those books."

"I wonder what that surprise is?"

Zhu Xiongying looked at Li Wenzhong who was looking expectant and smiled.

"Then follow me out to sea!"

"Going out to sea again?"

"of course!"

"Those are big ones, so they can only be put into the sea."

"Let's go!"

"Grandpa Xu, come along too!"

"Okay! I, your humble servant, should also go and broaden my horizons!"

The three of them immediately left the palace and headed straight for the dock.

....................................

Yingtian Wharf!

The dock was very busy at this time, with cargo being unloaded continuously.

When they saw Zhu Xiongying coming, they all saluted.

"See Your Highness!"

"Everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"continue!"

"Yes!"

Immediately started to get busy.

"Your Highness, are they from the navy?"

"Yes!"

"Your Highness, when did the navy start doing business?"

Xu Da on the side asked puzzledly.

"Business?"

"No!"

"These are not just goods, they are all real gold and silver!"

"what?"

The two were extremely shocked!

"Your Highness, are you saying that all this is silver?"

Li Wenzhong was shocked when he saw the mountains of boxes.

"Of course!"

"Your Highness, where did they get so much silver?"

Xu Da said in amazement.

"Japan!"

"Japan?"

"That's right!"

"I sent some people to do business with Japan before and made some money." (End of this chapter)
