Deng Haonan patronized Dongchang and collected all the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty to the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Liaodong Governor's Office, which made the Military Intelligence Bureau provide considerable help and convenience for the future installation of intelligence stations and local officials in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

Deng Haonan remembered the advanced weapons he saw in Shanhaiguan, so he remembered the Beijing Division Military Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau.

In Shanhaiguan, Di Haonan saw the weapons of the Ming Dynasty. For example, flamethrowers, individual grenades, chemical gas bombs, multiple rocket launchers, and more.

These things, especially the Shenyi machine arrow and multiple rocket launchers in the back, Deng Haonan has always been in his mind.

Now that he has come to the capital, Deng Haonan just took this opportunity to take advantage of it.

Zhao Shizhen, the head of the War Bureau, received Deng Haonan and his party, and under the guidance of Zhao Shizhen, Deng Haonan visited the Beijing War Bureau, the largest military factory in the Ming Dynasty.

The War Bureau was originally under the jurisdiction of the eunuchs, but the War Bureau was an important place for Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs to collect money, and the eunuchs were all Wei Zhongxian's people. When Wei Zhongxian stepped down, the eunuchs here were also implicated and were arrested and put in prison.

So the Ministry of Industry assigned Zhao Shizhen, a waiter, to temporarily take charge of the military war, but Zhao Shizhen was very fond of small things, especially military weapons. He and Xu Guangqi are both frequent visitors to the War Bureau, but Xu Guangqi is still idle at home now.

"Xu Guangqi is idle at home?"

Na Haonan was surprised when he heard this, although he didn't know Zhao Shizhen, but he knew that Xu Guangqi was a rare talent.

"Lord Qiqi!" Zhao Shizhen said: "Because Lord Xu offended Wei Zhongxian, he was slandered by the eunuchs, so he was idle at home. ”

After Zhao Shizhen's explanation, Deng Haonan knew what happened. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, in order to win the hearts of the people, he planned to appoint Xu Guangqi as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the official position of the assistant director of the Hanlin Academy, but Xu Guangqi refused to take office, which caused the dissatisfaction of the eunuch party and was impeached. He wrote the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and posted one and one Zhao. Xu Guangqi's self-compiled collection of military treatises "Xu's Words". It was also published at this time. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the eunuch party impeached Xu Guangqi for training troops as "Meng Lang has no right to cheat officials, steal salaries, mislead the country and bully the king", etc., Xu Guangqi was impeached again and was confined at home.

Deng Haonan knew that Xu Guangqi, the old man, was erudite and talented, and wanted to take it for his own use. So he asked someone to notify the ministry and reassign Xu Guangqi to the Liaodong Governor's Office. The officials obviously did not dare to offend Deng Haonan, so they very happily lifted Xu Guangqi's ban and ordered Xu Guangqi to go to the governor of Liaodong.

Zhao Shizhen and Xu Guangqi are both friends. Seeing Deng Haonan taking care of Xu Guangshou so much, he was very grateful. So he told Deng Haonan about all the big and small things in the military battle bureau. Deng Haonan, accompanied by Zhao Shizhen, learned about all kinds of advanced weapons in the War Bureau, and asked the master to explain in detail for each weapon he fancied, and then asked for design drawings. Although Zhao Shizhen thought that it was not in line with the etiquette for Deng Haonan to do this, he admired what Deng Haonan had done, and at the same time, King Qin respected him even more this time, so the Liaodong Governor's Mansion was opened anyway. According to the rules of the imperial court, it is also possible to set up a military bureau, so it is not a violation to design drawings to Deng Haonan.

"What is this?"

Deng Haonan pointed to a weapon in front of him and asked, Zhao Shizhen said: "This is the clumsy work of the lower officials, called Duoguan Xunlei Rao!" ”

Deng Dainan said appreciatively: "I didn't expect Lord Zhao to be a military friend!" "What is a military burner?"

Deng Haonan coughed lightly and said with a smile: "I just like to study military weapons very much!" ”

Zhao Shizhen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't figure it out, but he still praised Di Haonan for making sense.

The multi-barreled thunder mirror is opened on the basis of the single-barreled thunderbolt, as a single-soldier multi-barreled firearm, the largest can reach the old tube, the use of fire rope or suspicious stone strike, plus the outer cover after the shape of the pipa, also known as the pipa cannon. It can be used as a cold weapon after shooting. It is four centimeters long, weighs 10,000 kilograms, and is easy to carry and use, and the Ming army often ranks up to kneel and shoot. There was no interruption of fire. In Korea, the Japanese musketeers could not stand head-on against such a Ming army.

Listening to Zhao Shizhen's introduction, Na Haonan nodded, if this thing is modified again, it will be the original Gatling machine gun.

"You didn't think about connecting its projectile and gunpowder separately, and after firing a shot, the projectile and projectile will be automatically reloaded, so that both the number of shots and the number of shots will be greatly increased, and the enemy will not be able to get close at all!" "Master Hou is wise!" Zhao Shizhen said: "Xia Guan has also thought about it, but I don't have a clue for the time being!" However, Xia Guan knew that one person's thoughts were similar to Hou Ye's! ”

"Who?" Deng Haonan suddenly became interested.

Zhao Shizhen said: "Bi Weiliang, the right attendant of the former military department! He had come up with this idea. He also experimented, called the self-generated fire mirror! ”

Hua Haonan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What about others?" ”

Zhao Shizhen sighed and said, "It's not that he has been slandered by the eunuchs, and now he is idle at home!" ”

Daming is really full of talents!

Deng Haonan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time thanked Wei Zhongxian, who drove all these talented people from power. This just gave Deng Haonan the opportunity to send charcoal in the snow.

Bi Weiliang is a native of Qin County, Anhui Province. Born in Jinshi, he was successively served as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion and the right attendant of the household department from Wanzai Zhi County. He has provided relief to the hungry, reduced and increased the faction, and subdued the pirates, and his political achievements have been remarkable. was impeached and dismissed for not attaching himself to Wei Zhongxian, and at the same time, his elder brother Bi Weikang was also impeached at home

The two brothers are both great talents, and Bi Weikang is the author of "Illustrated Weapons". The book is not divided into volumes and is illustrated. List all kinds of firearms and poison crossbows, with pictures and texts, describing the manufacture, use and power of weapons. In the book: "Yi Yu" 22 Guang China, firearms aviation "6 Qianlong 46 times, the year ban on destroying the public...

So, Deng Haonan's Ordnance Department was in need of such a capable person, so he couldn't wait to ask someone to send a letter to the Ministry again, asking the Ministry to send an order to the two Bi Weiliang brothers, so that they could go to the Ordnance Department of the Liaodong Governor's Office to serve with Xu Guangqi!

"Master Hou is really loved!" Zhao Shizhen bowed his hand to Deng Haonan and said: "Admiration! ”

Deng Haonan casually offered to invite him to Liaodong to show his skills, but Zhao Shizhen politely declined. The reason is very simple, he is now a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and there is nothing for Hao Nan to dispatch idle people at home, but it is more than enough to dispatch personnel from the six departments.

However, Deng Haonan heard the meaning of the order, that is, Zhao Shizhen euphemistically told Deng Haonan that Deng Haonan's reputation was not enough, and the generals and craftsmen were willing to go to Liaodong. But a civil official like him was reluctant to go.

Deng Haonan naturally can't force it, and the twisted melon is not sweet.

Next, Zhao Shizhen visited and explained a large number of advanced weapons to Deng Haonan, and Deng Haonan was full of praise.

A large-caliber rifle, equipped in the Shenyi Machine Battalion, with the name of Nine-Headed Bird. In Di Haonan's view, it is a heavy sniper rifle. With a triangular bracket and a swivel device, it is 3 meters long, weighs 10,000 kilograms, and has an effective firing range of meters. Nickname. Nine-headed bird. "It's powerful. Even the chariots of that time could not resist. It is a pity that the exhibition was relatively slow, until the end of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Hunan army was equipped with guns, but only one-fifth.

There are also large-caliber revolvers: the five thunder god machine This is really the world's earliest revolver, Qi Jiguang defended the Mongolian army on the northern front, and he has three eyes. Five-eyed, seven-eyed various specifications are generally used when shooting in groups of two and one person with a bracket. Turn the barrel and one person aims to shoot. Range concave meters

Next is weapons of mass destruction, a swarm of bees, a god of arrows, thunder and poisonous fireballs, etc., this is the main purpose of Deng Haonan to come to the military battle bureau, after asking Zhao Shizhen for design drawings. Deng Haonan's purpose in the War Bureau has been accomplished.

However, when leaving, Na Haonan also asked for more than a dozen related skilled craftsmen by the way, to which Zhao Shizhen could only answer with a wry smile

Originally, I wanted to visit the Gunpowder Bureau, but the explosion of Wang Gong's factory made the entire Gunpowder Bureau reimbursement, and the ammunition that had been hoarded for more than ten years was gone, and the loss of 10,000 taels of silver last year was lost. What's worse is that the craftsmen of the Gunpowder Bureau actually killed and injured more than 20,000 people. It's just that the explosion was violent, and there were no bones left. The subordinate concealed it from the superior and did not report it.

On the 20th, Zhu Youxiao's condition was relieved. An order was made to reward Deng Haonan with the elixir he offered. As a result, hundreds of civil and military officials offered various medicines, all of which were called immortal medicines, to please Zhu Youxiao.

On the 21st, Huang Liji and others went to the book. Fate Wei Zhongxian Ran Party Rebellion Case. and make a list. Zhu was approved by Zhu Bi after reading by the school.

Wei Zhongxian rebelled, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the military department, Tian Ji, the squire of the military department, Wu Chunfu, the squire of the Ministry of Industry, Li Dielong, the deputy capital of Yushi, and Ni Wenhuan Taichang Siqing. Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Dongchang Criminal Officer, Yang Huanzhen Fu Division, Cui Yingyuan, Jinyi Wei Commander Kou Fu Huang Liji ordered the "Five Tigers and Five Biao" to discuss the crime in the Law Division. Criminal Ministry Discussion: In addition to Cui Chengxiu's death, Wu Chunfu and Ni Wenhuan should cut their ranks and take their lives; Tian Ji and Li Shoulong mattress positions; Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun were arrested and punished; Yang Huan, Sun Yunhe, Cui Yingyuan and others cut it.

Empress Zhang thought that she had not fulfilled her guilt and ordered to report it again. So Huang Liji reconvened the officials Naiding: Li Dielong, Wu Chunfu, Ni Wenhuan, Tian Ji and others pursued and dispatched the soldiers; Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun talk about death; Cui Yingyuan, Sun Yunhe, and Yang Huan. At that time, Han Huoguang and others did not want to delve into the grievances, so the crimes proposed by everyone were relatively light.

Huang Liji didn't dare to start, but Deng Haonan knew that these guys had to be killed, otherwise they would definitely calculate themselves in the future, so Deng Haonan wrote to severely punish the main culprit. Zhu Youxiao greatly changed his opinion of Deng Haonan at this time, and Empress Zhang also demanded severe punishment for the eunuchs, so Zhu Youxiao redefined the case three times, "Five tigers, five biao, ten dogs, ten children, and forty grandchildren." More than 339,700 accomplices, large and small, were sentenced to prison in various localities, more than 73,000 were assigned to the frontier, men were used as military officers, women were used as official prostitutes, and children under the age of eight were exempted from prosecution.

And the eunuch Wang Tiqian and other 37 chief managers and palm prints in the palace were killed with sticks and canes. There were two hundred and thirty-three accomplices of eunuchs, large and small, ranging from 100 to 30 rods. Forty-four people, including the female official Pang Shi, were killed with sticks and canes, and sixty-three palace maids of all sizes were punished with canes ranging from 60 to 20. All accomplices are under the Huanyi Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Inner Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, the Siyuan Bureau, etc.

As for the biggest leaders, Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family, Zhu Youxiao still did not make up his mind to be executed and was imprisoned in the palace prison.

After all, Wei Zhongxian helped Zhu Youxiao defeat the Donglin Party, and now Zhu Youxiao is in power. The biggest credit is Wei Zhongxian. And the Hakka family is Zhu Youxiao's nursing mother, although Zhu Youxiao's six concubines and four princes died. But Zhu Youxiao still couldn't do anything about this nurse.

At first, Deng Haonan thought that Zhu Youxiao was weak, but later he got out of the words from Zhang Yan, and it turned out that Zhu Youxiao didn't kill Wei Zhongxian because he wanted to ask the mastermind behind Wei Zhongxian. If you don't kill the Hakka clan, you want to use the Hakka clan to threaten Wei Zhongxian.

However, this Wei Zhongxian is a sweet tooth. Zhu Youxiao was reluctant to kill him, and many of his comrades rescued him.

Deng Haonan came together in the morning and learned the report that two groups of people entered the palace to rescue Wei Zhongxian last night.

"Who are both groups?

Feng Shaoyan said:. The news I got from the father-in-law of the little sixth son was like this, and the two groups of people entered the palace prison almost at the same time. However, they obviously didn't know each other, and thought that the other party was here to kill Wei Zhongxian, so the two sides fought, and as a result, the Imperial Forest Army won time

Deng Haonan nodded. "Caught."

"Nope!" Feng Shaoyan said with certainty: "Each side has lost more than a dozen people, but none are alive!" ”

"What do you think?" Na Haonan asked.

"According to the meaning of the subordinates, small

"Say it!" Deng Haonan saw Feng Shaoyan's eyes, so he waved his hand. Order the servants to stand down.

"Lord Qiqi!" Feng Shaoyan said: "According to the description of the father-in-law of the little sixth son, the subordinates think that both of them are dead soldiers, and one of them must be the White Lotus Sect!" "It's the White Lotus Sect again!" Deng Haonan remembered that when he first met Feng Shaoyan, Liu Erhei, who came to snatch the treasure box, was a member of the White Lotus Sect.

"And who should be on the other side?"

Feng Shaoyan shook his head and said, "Little Liuzi's father-in-law said that they all have highly poisonous pills in their mouths, and if they fail to act, they will bite and kill themselves. This shows that they are dead soldiers who have been rigorously trained, and they are not something that ordinary organizations can raise! ”

Deng Haonan thought for a while and said, "They all went to Wei Zhongxian, indicating that Wei Zhongxian had what they all needed!" Is Wei Zhongxian dead? ”

"Not dead". Feng Shaoyan replied.

"If you don't die, it means that the secret is exclusive to Wei Zhongxian, and they have lingering palpitations!"

"That's not right!" Deng Haonan suddenly thought of a question...... What's wrong with Master Hou! ”

"Lao Tzu let Zhu Youxiao deceive!" Deng Haonan suddenly thought of the reason why Zhu Youxiao didn't kill Wei Zhongxian, it must not be as simple as just tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes. Because Deng Haonan knew that Zhu Youxiao had already pressed the mastermind behind the scenes to King Fu.

Feng Shaoyan said: "You are saying that the emperor will not kill Wei Zhongxian, but also to find out Wei Zhongxian's secret." ”

Deng Haonan nodded and said, "And it's a secret that you want to know like those two gangs!" ”

Feng Shaoyan said worriedly: "It won't be a treasure thing!" ”

"Treasure".

Deng Haonan nodded, this is very likely. So he said, "Go!" Let's go to the Temple of Heaven at once, see if there is any clue to the treasure, and before we leave, it is best to have something on the spot."

※※

Just when Di Haonan was about to go out to the Temple of Heaven. The palace came to the little eunuch, and the queen Zhang Yan announced his entry into the palace.

It's really going to be in a hurry!

"Master Hou, are we still going over?

"You go check first, see if there's anything special, and then come back and report to me!"

Feng Shaoyan said: "But it's a royal garden, and the subordinates are afraid that they won't be able to enter!" ”

Deng Haonan thought for a while, so he said, "You bring more people over." On the pretext of searching the chaotic party hiding in the Temple of Heaven, go in and search! Feel relieved. Right now, as long as we don't bring troops into the palace, no one will dare to stop us! Go see what's so special and come back and report it to me! ”。 Here! Feng Shaoyan was ordered to leave, and Deng Haonan followed the little eunuch into the palace.

When he came to the palace, Na Haonan saw Zhang Yan and realized that the assassin last night had scared Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao, who was originally frightened in the explosion of Wang Gong's factory last time, was frightened again this time and became unconscious!

Deng Haonan asked, "Then how did the emperor cure it last time?" ”

Zhang Yan said: "It was not cured at all, it was Wei Zhongxian who kept giving the emperor the elixir." Now Wei Zhongxian is in prison. No one has an elixir anymore! ”

Deng Haonan suddenly realized, not because he was scared last night, but because he was sick without the elixir.

"You can figure it out!"

"I'm not a god!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, her face suddenly changed, her smile disappeared, and she glared at Deng Haonan instead.

"You don't have to!"

Deng Haonan was speechless when he saw her.

Zhang Yan pouted and said, "If you don't help me, I'll ignore you in the future!" ”

The first time I saw Zhang Yan coquettish in front of her, Na Haonan was still a little uncomfortable.

"Okay!"

Deng Haonan nodded, and before he finished speaking, Zhang Yan suddenly smiled and said happily: "You agreed!" I knew you had a way! ”

Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and said with a wry smile: "You don't need your face to change so quickly, do you?"

Zhang Yan snorted proudly and said, "Say something quickly!" ”

"There is a way". Deng Haonan looked Zhang Yan up and down. Dressed in a graceful and elegant queen's dress, she looks noble and attractive.

Zhang Yan saw that Deng Haonan's eyes were a little more **, and immediately said nervously: "What do you think I do?" ”

Deng Haonan took a step forward, looked at Zhang Yan with a wicked smile and said, "Of course you have to charge some interest!" ”

Zhang Yan took half a step back, realizing the meaning of Deng Haonan's words in her heart, and was at a loss for a while.

Suddenly, Zhang Yan remembered what Na Haonan had said in front of her. So he said pitifully: "Your words don't count!" You said you could only touch me when I fell in love with you! ”

Deng Haonan stopped abruptly, stretched out his hand halfway and took it back.

"Of course I count!" Di Haonan said with a bitter face: "I mean those medicines are very expensive, you can't always settle the bill!" Even if you don't pay it back, at least give some interest, right?"

Looking at Deng Haonan's quibble, Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, if Deng Haonan insisted on violating her just now, she really didn't know what to do!

She feels very happy with Deng Haonan these days. Even sometimes when I think of arguing with Deng Haonan alone, I will steal fun.

If it weren't for Zhu Youxiao sandwiched in the middle, maybe she would accept him!

"Look at your stinginess!" Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry! When the time comes, I will give it to you with interest! ”

Deng Haonan was dumbfounded, this seems to be very ambiguous! F
