"Got out of school?"

Zhu Wenkui stepped into the warm pavilion with his front foot, and his father's voice sounded in his back foot.

"Erchen has seen his father."

Seeing the resignation, Zhu Wenkui bypassed a few cases and lightly added water to the tea bowl in front of Zhu Yunwen.

"What did you learn today?"

only glanced up at Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Yunwen continued to be busy with his own affairs, but asked distractedly.

"Today, the school invited a few craftsmen to talk about the changes in shipbuilding technology in recent years and the artillery shell technology that the Firearms Bureau is tackling in recent years."

Zhu Wenkui recalled: "In recent years, the imperial court has money, coupled with the reason for attaching importance to shipping, a large amount of money has been invested in Longjiang Shipyard, and our Daming sea ship technology has made significant progress.

At present, I heard that the Longjiang Shipyard is testing the ship and preparing to build a warship that can be fully loaded with 20 guns, and at that time, the combat effectiveness of the Fujian and Zhejiang naval divisions will be enhanced. ”

Zhu Yunwen buried his head and did not respond, allowing Zhu Wenkui to talk endlessly.

"I heard that the progress of the delayed detonation technology that the Firearms Bureau is tackling is gratifying, and Erchen also specially asked about this craftsman.

It turned out that thirty years ago, the Europa had already fired immature fuse shells through the breech device cannon in the Battle of Jadera, but the performance of this shell was really unstable, and after a battle, dozens of guns were self-destructed, killing dozens of gunners on their side.

And since the arrival of those Europa craftsmen, with the current foundation of my Ming Dynasty, its own research and development has been able to produce shells of this level of technology, and the key node stuck in is how to stabilize the firing pin ignition device of the shell, as long as this is overcome, in the future, we can use gunpowder to detonate the projectile, instead of relying on expensive solid bullets. ”

The Europa seem to have had a natural talent for the use of gunpowder, and in the 14th century they developed the immature delayed detonation of cannonballs and used them at the Battle of Jadera, and at the beginning of the 15th century, during the conquest of Corsica, this artillery began to enter the army on a large scale.

Converted to Oriental time, it is about the eighteenth year of Yongle.

"Well, you know a lot."

Putting down the pen, Zhu Yunwen asked, "Then do you have any thoughts on this?" ”

"Erchen saw the power of this kind of artillery shell detonation in the Firearms Bureau earlier, once its stability and safety problems are solved, it can be used in the army on a large scale, then as long as the gunner hits accurately, in front of my Ming army, there will no longer be a Xiongguan that cannot be conquered, and it will naturally not be the act of relying on primitive human lives to fill in the siege.

Therefore, Erchen wanted to select elite and talented gunners from the army, teach this knowledge specifically, and train more gunners.

The lethality of an artillery cluster of formed and large-scale artillery is definitely far greater than that of the so-called rain of arrows that cover the sky and the sun. ”

The well-made armor can block the arrows, and it is a piece of paper in front of the cannonball.

Good guys, artillery, a professional branch of the military, was actually put forward by Zhu Wenkui during this period.

Zhu Yunwen laughed, stood up and patted Zhu Wenkui on the shoulder.

"Good boy, in addition to being in size in the past two years, I have a lot of ideas, very good, let's go, go to Kunning Palace for dinner with your father."

The father and son left the warm pavilion one after the other and walked in the side corridor, Zhu Yunwen said casually as if unintentionally.

"Your father has been annoying enough for your fourth uncle these days."

Beside him, the small figure paused for a moment.

"The fourth uncle is for the sake of the horse army."

"Well, the two heads of the three days came to me to intercede, saying that the important generals of the country and the dynasty would be killed without the details of the side branches, and the fear chilled the hearts of the army, and I hope that I will be lightly dismissed, no matter how bad it is, it is good to be demoted to a third-class meritorious service."

Zhu Wenkui cautiously glanced at his father, and through that ancient and waveless face, his young experience could not see any clues at all.

Therefore, he said quite cautiously.

"There are a lot of acts of trespassing, and there is no monarch ...... this fang"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen's mouth.

"You are also older now, in addition to studying, you also have more of your own considerations, tell Lao Tzu how to deal with this person."

Zhu Wenkui paused, and said carefully: "The so-called no rules are not a circle, and trespassing is a big crime for the ministers. ”

Military law, military discipline.

Isn't that just a slash?

Zhu Yunwen didn't say more, he waited for so long, what he wanted to wait for was a plea, but he didn't expect to wait for such a sentence.

This kid is still cautious.

He didn't even dare to test his father's bottom line, so he couldn't wait to draw a clear position with the military system and watch from the wall.

Is Zhu Yunwen still afraid of raising a Li Er?

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable, the opinion of the Fifth Military Government is also like this, but after all, this Ma army has outstanding military achievements, so it is cut with such a knife, and the stakes are too big, I am afraid that it will shake the hearts of the southwest army and be detrimental to the society.

The so-called encroachment is nothing more than being frizzy and bold in style, and it is still necessary to give some chances.

In this way, don't go to the academy tomorrow, discuss with King Yan, and see if on the basis of the existing military discipline, some disciplinary clauses on the rectification of work style will be posted, and then you, the eldest prince, will go to the capital camp and the border areas on behalf of me to pass on to those main generals. ”

"Erchen is young, this matter is related to millions of generals and soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, and it has a lot to stake, so let's let Qi Butang and the General Staff draft a charter."

Zhu Wenkui subconsciously chose to refuse.

Even Zhu Yunwen explained, such a good thing as patrolling the border on behalf of the Son of Heaven was politely refused.

Before you find out your father's clear attitude, you still have to keep a certain distance from the army as much as possible.

Even if he is now the crown prince, he can't do this.

Rectify the style of military discipline, how to rectify the law, limit gambling or prostitution?

Or maybe it's more serious, and even limit the drinking.

This is to offend the army of the whole country, and if you do it now, you will offend the Fifth Military Mansion and the General Staff Office thoroughly, and without the support of Zongxun in the future, can you still be this prince?

Zhu Yunwen sighed with emotion in his heart.

After a short period of communication, I never thought that my son was so 'too mature' now.

When people are older, there are more such ideas.

What should be considered and what should not be considered can be taken into account.

If it is good, it is called overall planning, and if it is unpleasant, it is called looking ahead and backwards, and being indecisive.

"Also, you are still young now, you should focus on your studies, I will arrange someone else to do this, what do you think of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong?"

"Wei Guogong is not in Beijing, this matter really has to be Cao Guogong."

In just two words, the father and son treated Li Jinglong as a gunman.

Cao Guogong is a good comrade.
