Chapter 183
These are the essence of Shen Yun's experience condensed over the years, Zhu Yidao nodded heavily, thinking back to what he has done over the years, it is often a reckless impulse under the agitation of the mood, and he instantly felt that his entire back was sweating! Now it's different from before, he has Shen Hui as his wife, Shen Yun as his father-in-law, and their family, so he has a bond, and everything he says and does has to be considered for them. He, Zhu, can have today, all of them are the result of the careful care of the Shen family's father and daughter, it's time to repay them!
Shen Yun took a sip of tea, and taught him earnestly: "Hui'er is here in Ningxia to dance knives and guns, learn the art of war, logically speaking, the old man does not agree. But there is no one around you who can help you, that old man Jiang Fei knows that he is the emperor's internal response in the Beijing Division, and he is not reliable at all! Everyone else is a rough person who doesn't know how to strategize, if you weren't a little clever, how could you have survived to this day? But you can't live a lifetime by being clever, sooner or later, you will be planted on this! Remember, when you encounter something, you must first use your brain, not think about letting your rough people fight and kill outside! How deep is the water in the imperial court...... You have me, I have you, everything in the world is bad here, you have to learn to survive in the cracks. It's good to do it now, if you want to offend, you will offend everyone, if you don't offend, no one will be offended, you and Shen Shixing, that old guy, are just two extremes! He laughed to himself.
Indeed, Zhu Yidao's offense made the emperor trust him even more, as long as he got too close to whom, the emperor would immediately become suspicious, and he would immediately let him die without a place to bury! But what can be done otherwise? He is just a military attaché, or a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and now he is the eyes and ears of the emperor, who would want to be close to such a person? On the surface, it seems that the emperor separated the Jingshi Right Institute from the Jinyi Guard and upgraded it to the Jingshi Guard, which is to improve the level and function of this guard; But in fact, the emperor completely cut off the last buffer between Lao Zhu and the ministers! From now on, he will completely stand on the side of Wanli and stand on the opposite side of the ministers. Even if he doesn't want to do this, others will think so, and one day the emperor no longer trusts him as much as he does now, then he will be considered to be the end!
The emperor asked Zhu Yidao to participate in the suppression of the rebellion in Banzhou, not to give him credit, from another point of view, but to strengthen the impression that he was the emperor's eagle dog in the minds of the ministers, and force him to the opposite side of everyone step by step, so that he could only rely on the emperor to have room to survive. Li Hualong's appointment as the Great Tusi of Banzhou was deliberately done by the emperor, because only this civil official who had fought the Mongols in the north had the means and ability to suppress the barbarians, and he could thoroughly implement the land reform and return to the stream, so that Banzhou would not be controlled by Zhu Yidao! The reason why Zhu Yidao was asked to find a way was also to make the Miao people resentful of Lao Zhu: Banzhou, if you want to get rich, it will only be a very small number of people who will get rich, but the poor are most of the Miao people at the bottom! This is also cutting off his retreat, especially when he brought back the jade seal taken by Jianwen's descendants from Banzhou, I am afraid it will only strengthen an idea in Wanli's heart: If Zhu Yidao is reused after his death in the future, it is difficult to guarantee that it is not another Zhang Juzheng or Feng Bao!
In fact, this is all to blame on Zhu Yidao himself, when he was in Queshan, Wanli asked him, how to judge whether he is a sage or not? He replied casually: There is no sage in this world, use it when it is virtuous, and discard it when it is not virtuous. This sentence made Wanli like an empowering, and he was also secretly wary of Zhu Yidao, for such a character, if the superior can't suppress him, then the world of the Zhu family may be transferred to his hands! How did he know that Zhu Yidao's hope was to leave this officialdom and leave the Forbidden City! But on the first day he helped the emperor, he could never go back.
There are no friends in officialdom, and there is no right or wrong in the court. Everyone is just using each other, but for Zhu Yidao, he has no value for the ministers to use, and the ministers have no value for him to use! The emperor was reluctant to further promote his rank, on the one hand, to protect him, and on the other hand, to suppress him! With his unbridled ideas and means of doing things, he will bring great threats to everyone!
Only then did Zhu Yidao realize that he had never controlled his own destiny at all, on the contrary, he was more and more subject to people, to the ministers, to the emperor, and even to the Jingshi Guard! If you leave the Jingshi Guard, what is the use value of yourself?
His face suddenly turned pale and crumbling!
Shen Hui hurriedly supported him and asked with concern, but he couldn't hear it anymore...... He only felt that he had fallen into an abyss, but now he was still falling, and he was shattered without touching the bottom! What's the scariest thing in the world? It's when you know you're dying, but you don't know when you're going to die!
Zhu slashed out a mouthful of blood! Shen Yun also panicked, he didn't expect that his painstaking persuasion would make Lao Zhu suffer such a big blow, and he thought that he couldn't hold it anymore, so he quickly stood up and beckoned his subordinates to call a doctor, but Lao Zhu waved his hand weakly. He helped Shen Hui to stand up slowly, knelt respectfully in front of Shen Yun, and knocked his head three times in a proper manner. It is only today that he fully understands what he needs to do, what his purpose is, and where his future lies. It's been two years since I lived in the Ming Dynasty, and I've never known what I should do, but today I finally understand what I should live for!
When he stood up, there was no longer the previous cynicism and indifference in his eyes, but instead there was a kind of banter that even Shen Yun couldn't understand, and behind the banter was a depth that could not be seen at a glance.
"Thank you father-in-law for reminding me, my son knows what to do!"
In the evening, Zhu Yidao went to the Yunlai Inn according to the pre-agreed time, several wolves were already waiting for him at the wine table under the inn, and when he arrived, one of them immediately took him to the upstairs guest room, and Wanli had been waiting for him in the room for a long time.
"Sit down!" Wanli, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, had a different taste, he personally poured tea on the teacup in front of Zhu Yidao, and then moved the stool away, looking at Lao Zhu with a smile.
"Tell me what kind of thing this delta wing is? Can you take people to heaven? As soon as he sat down, Wanli impatiently went straight to the point, he talked to those neighbors all day long, but these people didn't care about the thing flying in the sky, and they didn't know what Wanli was talking about. Everyone was fascinated by the gold leaf, and almost no one paid attention to the shadows and shadows. This made Wanli very painful, and it also made the wolves very suspicious, did they have a problem with their eyes that day? But if not, how could Zhu Yidao admit it in person?
Lao Zhu had to patiently explain that this delta wing is actually hanging people under a large parachute, and then gliding in the sky through a period of running. But the parachute had to be made of very light materials, and he tried many times before he found that it was best made of bamboo—but it could only fly a very short distance, and it was very low, only a few feet above the city walls, and it was not very fast. This thing is actually his whim, not a very advanced research.
But Wanli listened very attentively, in his eyes, it was already very magical to be able to bring people to the sky, someone did this in the Song Dynasty, but he fell to death, he was originally a little skeptical, can this thing be used? However, listening to Lao Zhu say this, it can be regarded as a solution to the doubt, it turns out that he can only go to the sky, but he can't fly high or far, but this is already very good!
Daming has its own military bureau, the Ordnance Bureau, which is responsible for researching and manufacturing all kinds of firearms and equipment, and it is very easy to make such an extremely simple delta wing. Moreover, the Ordnance Bureau had tried to produce things that could make people go to heaven before, but they had failed repeatedly, so they could no longer get enough funds from above. At present, the Ordnance Bureau has fully completed the localization of the Francophone cannon. Since the beginning of the Jiajing period, the production of all kinds of large, medium and small Franco machines, cavalry Fran machines, Yum Fran machines and other modified weapons has been completely rolled out. It wasn't until Wanli saw Lao Zhu's triangular wing that he personally tried to make that he remembered that the Ordnance Bureau had carried out such research and development work.
After listening to Wanli's description, Lao Zhu's mouth was so long that he didn't close it for a long time! I didn't expect the development of Daming firearms to reach such a developed point! It can even be modified and designed, and so many improved models can be derived! Doesn't that mean that May Fourth can also be imitated? But Wanli sighed and said that he had taken May Fourth to the Ordnance Bureau and let the group of craftsmen study it carefully, but he was completely disappointed. The craftsmen told him that if he could reach such a powerful copper bullet, he would not be able to make it so small anyway, and the weight would be at least six kilograms, and the accuracy and distance could not be guaranteed. Wanli was extremely disappointed, but the craftsmen strongly demanded that May Fourth be left for study, because some of its principles and ingenious designs made these technical nerds amazed! If some of the above designs can be integrated into the Franco Cannon, you will definitely create a powerful firearm that surpasses the Franco Cannon!
Zhu Yidao has been completely shocked, he has found a way to escape - that is, to enter the Ordnance Bureau and become an irreplaceable pillar of technology, only in this way can he stay away from the temple, but Wanli can't easily do what he does to himself!
