The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 639 The Big Wedding
When Zhu Lin arrived outside the Xianfu Palace, she first saw Lu Zhenfei bowing towards her from a distance, as if she had just come out of it.

How did he get here?Zhu Linmi didn't think much about it, she just followed the eunuch into the Nuan Pavilion, and when she saw the Queen Mother, she went up to say hello.

The latter hadn't seen his son for a few days, he looked up and down with a smile, and he was already rambling, "The new king next to him is all concerned about stabilizing the court in Beijing. Can't find anyone..."

Zhu Linmei smiled helplessly. To be honest, he was really not worried about the court situation.When he was the assistant king for a long time, he had already straightened out the government, even if he was not in Nanjing, it would not be a problem, and Zhen Zhen led troops to guard him, so nothing could happen.

"I don't know why my mother is looking for me?"

"It's really a big event." The queen mother said very seriously, "You are indeed ordered to inherit the great line, but it is not appropriate for the king of a country to not even have a queen.

"Recently, the Luge Department and the officials in the court have submitted several petitions to urge the emperor to get married and appoint a queen. Today, the Luge Department also came to my place to discuss this matter."

Only then did Zhu Linmei know that Lu Zhenfei came to be Yuelao.It turned out that Lu Zhenfei hadn't caught up with Advising Jin before, seeing Yang Tinglin's prosperity at this time, he felt very regretful.

That day when he went back to the capital to welcome the saint, he saw a young man getting on the imperial chariot. It was only later that he realized that that person was likely to be the future queen.He immediately seized the opportunity wittily and led the crowd to "urge the marriage" in order to gain a sense of presence in front of the emperor.

The Empress Dowager continued: "Originally you and the Mu family set the wedding date on the sixth day of March next year, which is indeed a rare and auspicious day. However, the Ministry of the Lu Pavilion expresses admonition, for the peace of the people and the prosperity of the harem, the emperor should marry early.

"I asked Qin Tianjian. The dragon raised its head on the second day of February, and it matches your horoscope very well. Although it is not as good as the sixth day of March, a king should put the country as the most important thing. I don't know what you think? "

"Okay!" Zhu Linmei almost blurted out, then hurriedly lowered her head and coughed dryly, "Cough, that... I mean, it's all up to mother to decide."

The queen mother was also happy, "Since you agree, then it's settled." She said with some regret, "Actually, the tenth day of the first lunar month is the most auspicious day, but it's a pity that the Mu family is far away in Yunnan, and it's too short to make it to Beijing in such a short time."

Zhu Linming's eyes lit up immediately, and she said anxiously, "Well, make it in time, make it in time! The tenth day of the first lunar month is even better!"

"The emperor must not be joking. According to this, the land of Yunnan is more than 3000 miles away. How can we get there in less than a month?"

"This..." Zhu Lin thought in her heart, she couldn't say that your daughter-in-law has already arrived in Nanjing, so she could only say vaguely, "In short, my son has a way." Immediately, she clenched her fists and held her head up, as if righteous and awe-inspiring, "For Ming Dynasty Sheji, for the sake of the stability of the people, I must register as a queen as soon as possible! I will have a big wedding at the beginning of next month!"

The queen mother waved her hand and said: "Don't let the wooden girl suffer because of the rush."

"No, no." Zhu Linmi squeezed her eyes, "She's willing to do it."

"Ah?" The Queen Mother didn't care too much about his words, and said again, "Then I will instruct the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and the inner court to prepare."

"Thank you mother for your trouble!"

Zhu Linming happily left the Xianfu Palace, and suddenly remembered that the tenth day of the first lunar month might be the day when Zhang Pocket packed up the Duoduo army, she couldn't help frowning secretly, she was busy getting married, so it might not be convenient for her to command the battle.

He immediately smiled again, that's fine, if I have a happy event here, Dodo will relax his vigilance even more, I'll just treat him as a congratulatory gift of tens of thousands of troops!

The big wedding was settled, but Zhu Linming still had to be busy with official duties.He asked Shi Lin to prepare an ordinary cloud car, and ordered the accompanying imperial battalion to wear casual clothes, and the light car simply rushed to the Nanjing Military Bureau.

Song Yingxing had been waiting outside the door for a long time, saluted, and looked up to see the unstoppable joy on the emperor's face, but he didn't want to ask too many questions, so he just took Zhu Linmi into a workshop.

"Your Majesty, these are the two kinds of guns." He pointed to more than a dozen guns on the wooden frame, "The improved Type II hunting gun is the same as the one in your design. As for the long gun, Lu Ning thinks that the craftsmanship is more than enough , which is an inch and a half longer than the barrel on the drawing."

Zhu Linmei picked up two different kinds of firecrackers and looked at them carefully, and couldn't help nodding with satisfaction.After more than half a year of standardization of craftsmanship and improvement of processing tools, the craftsmen have greatly improved the level of precision of making utensils, giving people a look and feel like a work of art.

The slightly shorter one is a modification of the Type II Jaeger. According to the feedback from the actual use of the soldiers, a safety mechanism was added, the rear door was adjusted, and the shape of the hammer was improved.In addition, the most important thing is that the weight of the whole gun has been reduced by more than half a catty, making it more comfortable to use.

The longer one is a brand new sniper rifle.The barrel is longer than the former, and the shape of the butt, handguard, and front sight are also different. Not only the shooting range is longer, but the barrels are all carefully selected, and the ballistic stability is very good.The disadvantage is that the weight is heavier, but this has little effect on hunters who do not require a high rate of fire.

Zhu Linmi went to the shooting range to try shooting again. There was no problem with the two guns, and the shooting stability and ease of use have been greatly improved.

He turned his head and asked Song Yingxing, "How much can these two kinds of guns be produced every month?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the two ordnance bureaus in Nanjing and Jiafujing can produce [-] to [-] modified hunting guns per month. The craft of long guns is complicated, and they can only produce less than [-] guns per month."

Given the excellent production of these two types of firecrackers, this number is already extremely objective.Especially the sniper rifle, with such a long barrel, to ensure that the chamber does not explode, requires extremely high processing capabilities.

"Okay, then let's produce it as soon as possible. This modified hunting gun needs at least [-] pieces, and the long gun needs more than [-] pieces." Zhu Linmi felt that these two kinds of guns did not have a name. He first picked up a little The short gun, "This gun is called the Type [-] Infantry Gun." Pointing to the longer one, "That one is called the Type [-] Jaeger Gun."

"Yes."

Then Zhu Linmi went to see the newly made hydraulic stamping machine.This thing seems simple, but it requires extremely high finishing and steelmaking technology, and it has actually slightly exceeded the current processing capacity of Daming.Song Yingxing personally led craftsmen to trial-produce more than ten copies, and only these two are available.

Zhu Linmei watched the river water push the water wheel and transmit the power to the front of the machine.A craftsman inserted the copper billet into the punching slot, and the die handle of the punching machine was lifted by the gears to the height of a person, and then fell suddenly, hitting the lower base plate accurately.

The craftsman quickly took out the finished product, and the copper billet just now had become a miniature bullet.

Zhu Linmi took the warhead, and then picked up the vernier caliper beside it to measure. It was found that the warhead was exactly the same size, and the edges were basically smooth, so it could be used with a little polishing.

The entire processing process takes only three or four seconds, which is more than a thousand times higher than before.

He couldn't help sighing softly, "The output of this bullet is no longer a problem."

Song Yingxing continued from the side: "Your Majesty, with this new machine, the price of the bullets has also been greatly reduced. Now excluding the copper money, it only costs five coins to make a thousand pieces."
