"Elder Ge, are you just watching Your Majesty repeat the mistakes of the late Tang Dynasty?"

Out of the Huangji Gate, Guo Yunhou said to Li Guopu with a sad face.

When the literati speak, they pay attention to the words that are not shocking and endless, and Zhu Youzhen just wanted to reshape the backbone of the Ming soldiers, which was pulled to the division of the feudal town.

"Hey, now Your Majesty is no longer what it used to be, and we have good warnings, I'm afraid Your Majesty won't listen to it anymore."

Zhu Youzhen's attitude at the imperial meeting just now has explained everything, and Li Guopu at this time can only shake his head and sigh.

"Now, the limelight of Liaodong's great victory is in full swing, no matter what you say, Your Majesty will not listen, but those who are ministers must worry about the worries of the world first, and we still have to do our duty as ministers and keep the foundation of this Ming Dynasty for Your Majesty."

When everyone heard this, they also made a promise.

Although the civil officials who grew up reading Confucian classics are pedantic, many of the outstanding ones in them are impeccable in their loyalty to the emperor.

For these loyal ministers who think they occupy the moral high ground, although Zhu Youzhen sometimes feels very annoying, there is no way.

You can't be like the faint king, kill all those who oppose you.

People have shortcomings, and leaving some people who speak against the tune is also a kind of wake-up call to yourself.

If there is only one voice left in the court, it is a sign of the country's demise.

.......

In the afternoon, Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youzhen just woke up from a nap, and he was still a little angry about getting up, so Wang Chengen was extra careful to serve him to wash.

"Is Master Bi here?"

Wiping his face with a warm towel, Zhu Youzhen woke up a little, and then remembered what he had told before going to bed.

"Back to the emperor, Lord Bi has been waiting outside the palace for half an hour, and you just fell asleep at that time."

"Then you kid didn't say it sooner, please."

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his foot and kicked Wang Chengen's buttocks.

Wang Chengen hurriedly responded, ran out of the hall in a hurry, and secretly slandered: Who dares to quarrel with you while you are sleeping, it will not be as simple as kicking at that time.

Suddenly, Zhu Youzhen met a famous firearms engineer in history.

Bi Maokang, the word Menghou, a native of Shexian County, Anhui Province, was a scholar in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and was an official to the Imperial History of Huguang Road, Huguang Road, and was later squeezed out by the eunuch party, and the official was dismissed and reduced.

This duke is a famous ordnance master in history, and the first flintlock pistol of the Ming Dynasty was invented by him.

But at this time, Bi Maokang was panicked, he had just been recalled by Zhu Youzhen from his hometown in Anhui, and he really didn't know what happened to this young son of heaven who summoned him alone, the former five-grade petty official.

Bi Maokang is fifty-six years old this year, and he has been up and down for more than 30 years before he got mixed with the fifth grade, but he was kicked back to his hometown by the eunuchs.

However, Bi Maokang has a good mentality, he doesn't like the fly camp dog of officialdom, and when he returned to his hometown, Bi Maokang put more energy into various mechanical transformations, and enjoyed it.

This time in Beijing, Bi Maokang made up his mind, if His Majesty wanted to reply to him, he would politely decline.

Bi Maokang, who was kneeling on the ground, was thinking about the excuse of refusal, but he heard a voice suddenly sound.

"Bi Aiqing, I heard that you are particularly good at clever things, I don't know if I can make this object?"

Bi Maokang carefully held an iron tool and examined it carefully.

"Back to Your Majesty, the grass people dare to ask, is this object of yours used on firearms?"

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: In the end, he is an expert, and he will know the source at a glance.

This object of Zhu Youzhen is the excitation device on the modern sniper rifle, and in order to hide people's eyes, Zhu Youzhen dismantled it alone.

"Oh? Where does Aiqing see it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you see that this should be a firing pin, a firing pin, firing some lighters, such as flint, and the following should be a mechanism for controlling the firing pin."

Bi Maokang pointed to the firing needle and trigger, and explained to Zhu Youzhen, his face becoming more and more excited.

"Aiqing is really talented, you can see it at a glance, can it be made?"

When Bi Maokang heard this, his expression darkened slightly.

"Your Majesty, you can make this object, but the grass people dare not guarantee that it will be as good as yours."

"Why?"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen was a little disappointed, Bi Maokang thought about it and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, your object is really exquisitely made, the grass people have never seen it in half their lives, it must be the thing that the Seiko has been tempered thousands of times, the grass people are stupid, although they can create similar things, but the material is beyond the power of the grass people."

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It's good to be able to make it, as for the same material, Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to ask for it in his life.

The firing pin on the sniper rifle, even in the 21st century, is a special steel, which cannot be forged by ordinary steel mills, and as for this 17th century, Zhu Youzhen does not dare to think of it.

But another kind of steel, he thought he could try.

Subsequently, Zhu Youzhen simply popularized the knowledge of crucible steelmaking to Bi Maokang.

Although Zhu Youzhen saw all this knowledge from the forum, he still listened to Bi Maokang stunned.

Bi Maokang muttered in his heart, how can this young man still understand the knowledge of iron forging, could it be that he is also a skilled craftsman like the first emperor?

In the afternoon, Zhu Youzhen popularized the principles of crucible steelmaking, flintlock pistols, rifled guns, and mini bullets to Bi Maokang.

By the time the sun set, Bi Maokang had already surrendered to Zhu Youzhen's admiration, and then accepted the appointment of the generalissimo's office as the chief armament secretary of the Generalissimo's Mansion to specialize in weapon manufacturing.

It wasn't until he walked out of the Forbidden City that Bi Maokang remembered that he was going to resign.

However, Bi Maokang, who had a belly full of new knowledge, had no intention of resigning at this time, and he was eager to put the theoretical knowledge he had just learned into practice now.

Three days later, Bi Maokang finally waited for Jinyiwei, who took over his post.

After packing his luggage briefly, Bi Maokang followed Jinyiwei to the Generalissimo's Mansion to take office.

Everyone traveled all the way west, getting more and more deviated, and when they walked into the mountainous area, Bi Maokang, who fell in his heart, finally couldn't help but ask.

"Master Jun, where are we going?"

"Generalissimo's Palace."

"But why did you get to Xishan?"

"The Generalissimo's Mansion is in Xishan."

Turning another hill, Bi Maokang finally saw the legendary Generalissimo's Mansion.

I saw that on a large flat ground on the mountainside, thousands of masons were busy in full swing.

In front of a row of brick houses that have been built next to it, there is a plaque with four big characters written on it: Generalissimo's Mansion.

There was also a young man standing in front of the door, wearing the same complement official uniform as himself.

Bi Maokang looked surprised, but the young man grinned and rushed to meet him.

"Master Bi, you can come, the junior Lu Xiangsheng has been waiting for you for a long time."

Lu Xiangsheng made a gesture at Bi Maokang with an excited face, and then led Bi Maokang into the house.

"Lord Lu, where is the official of the Generalissimo's Mansion, please introduce one or two for me."

Lu Xiangsheng said secretly when he heard this, and he was fooled again.

"Lord Bi, there is only one person in this Generalissimo's Mansion who is currently the official sealer."

Lu Xiangsheng then gave Bi Maokang a detailed account of the responsibilities and current situation of the Generalissimo's Office.

When Bi Maokang heard this, he sat on the chair and was speechless for a long time.

"Master Bi, don't panic, although our generalissimo's mansion was newly built, it has won the love of His Majesty, asking for money for money, asking for people to give people, only half a month, this yamen and soldier barracks have been built, and the first batch of 1,000 sergeants have begun training."

"Although the Generalissimo's Mansion is located in the depths of the West Mountain, His Majesty personally came to inquire about it in the first ten years, and even the yamen and barracks were designed by His Majesty himself, as well as the table and the chair and the sofa that Lord Bi was sitting on at this time, all of which were made by His Majesty."

When Bi Maokang heard this, he took a closer look at Lu Xiangsheng's study, and saw that in the middle of the four big white walls, there was only a desk, and what he was sitting on was like a bed but not a bed, but it was soft and comfortable to sit on.

"Your Majesty really wants to set up the Generalissimo's Mansion in this barren mountain and wilderness?"

After Lu Xiangsheng's persuasion, Bi Maokang felt better, but still expressed doubts about Zhu Youzhen's motives.

Lu Xiangsheng nodded when he heard this, and then retreated.

"Your Majesty also has its own hardships, now I have a strong heir outside the Ming Dynasty, and there is a Shuo Rat Ying Dynasty inside, although Your Majesty is the master of Zhongxing, but there are also things that have to be submitted."

"Take the formation and training of the new army as an example, why did Your Majesty abandon the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and run to this mountain to build this Generalissimo's Mansion from scratch, with the wisdom of Lord Bi, I must be able to understand Your Majesty's distress."

When Bi Maokang heard this, he suddenly became enlightened.

The dirty things of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Beijing Camp were impeached in a book when he was the imperial historian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but they were all like mud cows into the sea.

"Your Majesty's new generalissimo mansion, didn't the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and those lords and relatives go to make trouble?"

Bi Maokang was a little worried, afraid that the matter of the Generalissimo's Mansion would be disturbed by those relatives.

"Haha, that's Your Majesty's cleverness."

Lu Xiangsheng got up and made a cup of tea for Bi Maokang, and then said.

"Your Majesty built this Generalissimo's Mansion in this western mountain, and there are sergeants guarding it in and out, and those nobles and courtiers don't know that this Generalissimo's Mansion has been erected, thinking that Your Majesty is following Wuzong's nonsense and proclaiming himself the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses."

Bi Maokang heard this, and then replied to Lu Xiangsheng, 'Isn't it?' 's expression.

"Of course not, Your Majesty's talent is not comparable to that of the Martial Sect, and the younger generation thinks that Your Majesty's attainments in martial arts are not under Qi Shaobao."

If it weren't for Zhu Youzhen's explanation, "On War" and "Army Training Drill Manual" would not be easily revealed, and Lu Xiangsheng would have wanted to show those two strange books to Bi Maokang.

When Bi Maokang heard this, he also acquiesced in his heart.

"What Lord Lu said is good, Your Majesty is not only in martial arts, but also in iron smelting and weapon manufacturing, I have been concentrating on this for many years, but compared to Your Majesty, it is like a lone star and a bright moon, it is not the same day."

"Haha, I look at Your Majesty's majestic posture today, and in the future, we will surpass the merits of Taizu and Chengzu, and we will be valued by Your Majesty, and we will be able to become a generation of famous ministers in the future."

Compared with Bi Maokang, Lu Xiangsheng has long regarded Zhu Youzhen as a god through his contact with Zhu Youzhen these days.

"Alas, it's okay, just let me, an old bone, accompany you to go crazy in this future life, and bet that Your Majesty can pay me back and wait for a prosperous Ming Dynasty."

Bi Maokang stood up and stretched out his hands.

"For Daming, do your best!"

Lu Xiangsheng also stood up solemnly and swore an oath with Bi Maokang.

"For Your Majesty, it's just after death!"
