Chapter 185
The next day, the sleepy-eyed Zhu Yidao was kicked up by Shen Hui early in the morning, and asked him to report to the Ordnance Bureau early, Brother Zhu waited for most of the day yesterday! Lao Zhu hugged Shen Hui very reluctantly, and he wanted to be cool for a while. Zhu Da...... Zhu Da? Hearing this familiar name, he jumped up from the hot bed at once and got dressed in a panic! The emperor actually came to the house, why didn't he tell him earlier?
He didn't know where the Ordnance Bureau was, but the bright-eyed subordinate at the door hurriedly pulled two horses from the stable, saying that he would lead the way. So Zhu Yidao hurriedly asked this person to take him to the Weapons Bureau.
The current person introduced while hurrying on the road that the Ordnance Bureau was subordinate to the Supervision and Manufacturing Department, which was originally responsible for making knives, guns and sticks, and the Military War Bureau was responsible for making firearms; However, during the Jiajing period, in order to deal with the Mongols in the north, the Ordnance Bureau also began to manufacture artillery, and now it specializes in artillery. In the capital divisions of the provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the guards also set up miscellaneous manufacturing divisions, which are in charge of the weapons construction of the guards.
Lao Zhu is very strange, how do you know?
The next person looked proud, what don't we know in Beijing? If you don't know, sir, just ask us!
But Lao Zhu was vigilant in his heart. The place where this kind of firearm is manufactured should have been kept strictly secret, and outsiders were strictly forbidden to enter or insiders to reveal the inside information at will, but even their own subordinates knew everything about the Ordnance Bureau! If a foreign enemy infiltrated the Ordnance Bureau, what secret did the Ming Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of firearms have? It's too easy to destroy! It's not that Jingshi doesn't have Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but it's too late to remedy it after a major ** incident occurs!
The two horses were rampage on the street, and Lao Zhu was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the people on both sides of the road. But at this critical juncture, several gorgeously dressed noble sons suddenly appeared in front of him, and one of them looked at the two people who were riding their horses and galloping indifferently, and said to the servants beside him: "Stop this rampant guy!" β
"Don't worry, master! I don't know where the pickled goods came from, but I dare to run wild in front of the master, I just don't want to live! The servant smiled flatteringly, and changed his face to a ** Sen's face, "Little ones!" Get this master who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth to Lao Tzu! β
Before the words fell, several other servants rushed forward viciously, the kung fu of taming the horse was really good, just a whistle, Lao Zhu**'s horse neighed, and stopped on the road after a few steps, no matter how he whipped, he just refused to take another step!
Zhu Yidao had no choice but to jump off the horse angrily and glared at the few people in front of him. The subordinate who had been following closely saw this scene and quickly stopped, ran a few steps forward and whispered: "Master, don't do it!" He is the famous Prince Ping of Jingshi! This person has always been arrogant and domineering in Beijing, and he doesn't allow others to be like him! Relying on him as the emperor's uncle today, he does everything, and he is very protective! It's not that the villain is afraid, this person really can't afford to offend! β
Prince Ping? Hmph, I don't believe you have two heads!
Zhu Yidao, who was already a little anxious, was even more angry at this moment! Can you afford to take responsibility for delaying the emperor's errand? But the best horses are just disobedient, and there are some capable people under this guy!
Several servants of Prince Ping immediately surrounded him: "Where did you get the pickled goods, don't you know that it is Prince Ping who is walking in front?" Dare to gallop on the street, in case you startle the prince, how many heads do you have enough to cut off?! If you know each other, hurry up and compensate our master, or don't blame us for being polite! β
How mad it is! Zhu Yidao sneered: "If Lao Tzu doesn't make amends, what can you do to me?" β
Several of the servants looked at each other in amazement. This guy's foreign accent should be a foreigner who has just come to Beijing, looking at his white and pure appearance, isn't it a move? Then you have to clean it up! When you arrive in Beijing, you have to abide by the rules of Beijing, and you have to make this guy remember**, how can the feet of the Son of Heaven be the place where these powerless scholars come from?
As soon as he spoke, the servant stopped talking, but whipped over, Lao Zhu was trying to block, but the person next to him rushed out and took the whip stiffly, and shouted loudly: "Master, go quickly!" It's just that the villain suffers some sin! You can't get hurt! β
If it is placed in the family of ordinary nobles, it is normal for people to be beaten and scolded for themselves, but if they break their face, it will be two words. What's more, under such a wide public, Prince Ping's servants openly beat his subordinates on the street, and Lao Zhu's anger also came out! He brushed the ground and pulled out the three-eyed gun that he carried with him next to the saddle, pointed to the servant's nose and said in a deep voice, "You dare to try again?" β
Who knew that Prince Ping's servants didn't care at all. If you can take out the firecracker, it means which military child you are, but at the feet of our son of heaven, who doesn't know our prince? You kid is not small, you dare to point the fire hammer at Lao Tzu's nose! That is to clearly not give face to the prince!
These servants are all from military families, and they have been serving Prince Ping loyally for many years for generations, so they naturally know where the weakness of these three-eyed guns isβjust on the medicine pot behind. This cauldron is connected to the gunpowder in each barrel of the Three-Eyed Gun, and once ignited, all three barrels are at the same time. However, the connection to the barrel is not strong, mainly for the convenience of reloading. But even so, the reloading of the three-eyed gun is not good, so most of the Ming troops wield the spear head as a hammer after using it once, and the effect is not generally good!
Of course, Lao Zhu didn't know that the other party was also an expert, and after being stunned, the medicine pot behind him was separated from the barrel. Then he received a heavy punch in the face, and he was dizzy! On the contrary, he calmed down, and the handle of the old man's gun danced wildly, and several domestic servants couldn't get close for a while!
After his eyes gradually became able to see the things in front of him clearly, Zhu Yidao also had murderous intent, he suddenly smashed his hand into two and slammed it into the other party, and then quickly took out the May Fourth from his waist - if he didn't work hard at this time, he would really go to see Lord Yama!
With the sound of a huge gunshot, several domestic servants fell to the ground in response, and they couldn't figure out how the small fire in this guy's hand was so fast and so ruthless! The servant who had just spoken out was staring at the firearm in Lao Zhu's hand with wide eyes, and he couldn't speak with a hissed voice in his throat - his ** cavity had been penetrated.
The person next to him reacted very quickly, and immediately pulled up the prince and ran back, while the other person stood in front of him without hesitation to block the bullet for Prince Ping and the man. But how could flesh and blood be able to block the tremendous power of May Fourth?
A few more gunshots rang out, and the man also fell to the ground, and by the time Zhu Yidao chased a few steps and was about to clean up the prince Ping, the man had already taken him along the alley of Jingshi's twists and turns.
People on the streets scattered in panic! Shuntianfu's reaction was extremely fast, and a group of officials immediately rushed to this place, and even the Shenji Battalion sent a patrol sergeant to check it, Zhu Yidao put May Fourth back on his waist very experienced, and picked up the three-eyed gun on the ground and raised it on his head. The sergeants saw that he had raised his weapon, but they still raised the fire gun in their hands in dissatisfaction.
"I am a thousand households of the Beijing Division! Let your boss come out and speak! β
A group of sergeants immediately had some eyes. It turned out to be Zhu Yidao of the Emperor's Jingshi Guard? That is always more cautious, and asks Lao Zhu to take out his waist card. Zhu Yidao impatiently took out his waist card and threw it over, took a closer look at the general manager, and made sure that it was him, so he gave a military salute and said respectfully: "I don't know why Lord Qianhu is so nervous that he wants to use firearms?" β
"Just now, a few people who claimed to be the slaves of Prince Ping's family made trouble with Lao Tzu! was killed by Lao Tzu! No, that's a few of them! "There were several corpses lying on the ground, and when I looked at the general manager, I shuddered! This Zhu Qianhu is so strong that even the people of Prince Ping dare to kill him! I can't do this by myself, so I have to report to the military department quickly! He hurriedly whispered a few words to a sentry beside him, and the sentry left in a hurry.
"Zhu Qianhu," he arched his hand and said, "This matter is very important, please don't be impatient, and please come with us." β
The sudden huge gunfire in the downtown area of Jingshi even attracted the Jinwu avant-garde guarding the Chengtian Gate nearby! When a team of soldiers was sent to check in a hurry, Lao Zhu was about to go with the sergeants of the Shenji Battalion, and the general banner who led the team had seen him during the earthquake relief, and when he saw it, he was shocked and quickly stopped and asked what was going on? When he figured out that it was because he killed Prince Ping's servant, General Qi snorted coldly and grabbed Zhu Yidao: "Lord Qianhu, it seems that the emperor is looking for you in a hurry, even if it is a big matter, it must be important to the holy decree!" More on that later! "As soon as I heard that the emperor was in love, the Shenji Battalion was always a little uncertain.
In this huge Beijing Division, although the three major battalions of the Beijing Division do not have to obey the orders of the city defense system, after all, Zhu Yidao is not an outsider, and now he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the Shenji Battalion has no need or crime to offend him, so the general manager also relaxed: "Since the emperor is invited, then we will not embarrass the lord." But we'll definitely report this matter, so it's better to be prepared. β
Zhu Yidao breathed a sigh of relief a little. But the Liang Zi with Prince Ping is settled, how can he swallow this evil breath? Under the public, he lost face so much, and was almost killed, and revenge is certain. Just a few days after coming to Beijing, I got into trouble again, but this is no way, Jingshi is full of princes and nobles, maybe you will get into trouble when you will get into trouble!
