Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 430 Returning to Beijing Halfway
The next morning, in the bedroom.Zhu Biao fell asleep comfortably, feeling refreshed, and slept peacefully for the past few days.

Just as Zhu Biao was dawdling on the bed several meters wide, Xiao Huangmen walked in untimely from outside the hall, stood behind the screen and coughed twice: "Prince."

Zhu Biao stood up, put on a piece of clothing, adjusted his appearance, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Huang, who was called Yuan Bao, said sullenly: "Tao Chengdao of the National Academy of Scholars is asking for an interview, and there is something urgent to report."

"understood."

When Tao Chengdao saw Zhu Biao coming in, he immediately went up to meet Zhu Biao and knelt down, and said solemnly, "Prince, when I checked the firearms battalion as usual today, I found two mines and three underwater Dragon King Cannons missing."

The daily firearms battalion will count all firearms, firecrackers, and gunpowder in the early morning.He frowned and said, "Have you sent someone to look for it?"

Tao Cheng said: "I found it, it disappeared out of thin air."

The underwater dragon king cannon appeared in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is the earliest floating thunder in the world.

The thunder shell is made of cow urine foam, which is watertight, and black powder is installed inside, and the incense is used as the fuze to delay the detonation.

The urine bubble of the cow is connected to the board floating on the water and under the goose wings, and the goose-wing tube and goat intestines are used to ventilate the incense. Even if the board goes up and down with the waves, water cannot be poured in to ensure that the incense can burn normally.

The incense is used as a fuze, and the goose-wing tube and sheep intestines are used to ventilate the incense and play the role of delayed detonation.

Below the cow urine bubble, there are stones of a certain weight to balance the force, keep the center of gravity stable, and keep the stability when drifting, so that it will not overturn and fail.

When in use, put it at the boat mooring place, enter the water shallow and deep, drop the heavy stone, and let it go down the river in the dark night. When the incense burns, the cannon is fired from the bottom of the water, and the bottom of the boat is shattered.

Before, Japanese pirate ships often attacked the southeast coast.The navy uses the underwater Dragon King Cannon.

Zhu Biao is very clear about the power of this thing. After all, he advocated and encouraged Tao Chengdao and the others to do it.

It is normal for Tao Chengdao to worry about things that can be blown up by hundreds of feet of warships.

Zhu Biao said coldly: "Look for it immediately."

The Underwater Dragon King Pao was not found, but Lu Zhong came instead and reported about Hu Weiyong going to the theater with his unkempt face last night.

Unkempt to go to the theater?These literati usually can't wait to lick their hair seven or eight times with their tongues. Hu Weiyong is out of his mind, he just went to the theater, and he still wants to do this?

Although the government clearly forbids civil servants and military generals from going to the brothel Goulan, but the theater didn't say they couldn't go.

"Which theater did he go to?"

"Going back to Your Highness, I went to the theater run by King Jin's attendants. Afterwards, my subordinates waited outside for Hu Weiyong to come out. When he came out, he was sent out by the women in the theater. There was nothing unusual."

"Understood, you go down."

There are also women who deal in flesh and blood in this theater.It's normal for Hu Weiyong to go.

Zhu Biao didn't think much, and went to the Wenhua Palace to deal with the memorial.

……

It was the morning of the third day when we set off for Jingzhou Prefecture.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di rode in the same carriage, and Zhu Min rode in the same carriage.

Zhu Biao asked him the reason, and he only said that he had caught a cold recently, and it was most suitable to ride in a carriage alone.

Not long after the carriage left Nanjing City, when it arrived at Suzhou Mansion, the shaft of the carriage snapped, and several horses also began to have loose bowels.

It was July and August, and the heavy rain fell as soon as it was said.Han Yike and Zhu Biao had no choice but to rest at the Suzhou House Station.

Zhu Dian said: "Brother, why don't we go by water? A few days ago, when the second brother took the second sister-in-law to play, the big ship arranged from the Longjiang shipyard has not been sent back to the shipyard."

"That's the second brother's boat." Zhu Di explained.

"Alright, third child, you can make arrangements."

Zhu Biao and the others waited for a long time at the station.

When the boat arrived at Suzhou Mansion, Zhu Yan sat on the boat behind with those guards.

Zhu Di was puzzled and said: "Third brother, the three of us sit together, it's not appropriate for you to sit with those officials and guards."

"Big Brother, Fourth Brother, I've caught wind and cold for the past few days, and I'm afraid I'll infect you." Zhu Yan coughed twice while speaking.

Zhu Yan said loudly: "The boat given by the second brother is comfortable, he really knows how to enjoy it."

"Second's boat will be enjoyed."

Zhu Biao nodded, and told Han Yike to board the boat with him. This time he went to Huguang, he must deal with the land occupation, so as to remove the preferential exemption right in the capital in a fair manner.

The issue of land must be taken seriously.

When the boat was about to leave, a postman ran to the riverside and said, "His Royal Highness, please stay for a while, Your Majesty calls you back to the palace."

Zhu Biao took a look, got off the boat to read the letter, and found that it was an envoy from the Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom who wanted to visit the Academy of Scholars, and Lao Zhu told him to go back immediately.

He already had the intention of earning money from the place of Ryukyu, and it would be a good thing to win Ryukyu, an overseas trade transfer station.

Zhu Biao said: "Third brother, fourth child, the envoys from Ryukyu are here, and the elder brother wants to go back. The things in the Huguang area...Han Yike, let them go."

Zhu Di understood the meaning: "Brother, you go back, I will go with the third brother."

Zhu Yan's face changed, and he hurriedly scolded the postman who delivered the letter: "It's just an envoy from a small Ryukyu country, and I still want to alarm my elder brother. My elder brother has not had a good rest for the past few days. I'm afraid he will be tired again when he returns to the capital."

Seeing Zhu Biao being so considerate to him, Zhu Biao felt warm in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, it just so happens that elder brother wants to communicate with the Ryukyu envoys, I don't worry about you two going."

Zhu Fan said: "Brother, I'm afraid I won't be able to do well with the matter of Huguang. Without Big Brother, I don't feel at ease."

"Third brother, why are you so timid? I'm not afraid. I've wanted to deal with those generals for a long time."

Zhu Di urged Zhu Biao to go back, this time he wanted to do something for his elder brother.

Then Zhu Biao rushed back to the capital with ten guards.

Looking at Zhu Biao's leaving figure, Zhu Bian's face was a bit ugly, that plan had already started.

Unexpectedly... this damned Ryukyu envoy didn't come sooner or later, but he came to Daming at this time.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Biao went back to the palace to change clothes after seeing Emperor Zhu.

Tomorrow I want to see the Ryukyu envoys, bring the clothes early, and arrange for the maids and servants to get ready.

"Your Highness."

"I originally thought that Huguang shouldn't let the third brother go this time."

"Why?" Shen Zhihe stood on tiptoe and straightened his collar for him.

"He is going to get married in September, let him prepare well." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

"Where's my girl?"

"The wet nurse has taken her to Kunning Palace, the queen mother likes her very much."

"The Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom sent envoys this time, and it seems that they are sincere. I still want to beat them about the private salt matter, so as to erect the majesty of Ming Dynasty."

There was nothing to do at night, and the Huguang area could not go because of something, so Zhu Biao simply asked Lu Zhong to bring the original manuscript of the land inspection left by the inspector last year, and go through it with Xia Yuanji.

At the end of this year, a group of prosecutors must be organized to conduct a thorough investigation.Only in this way can we urge nothing to happen.
