Chapter 618: The End of Freedom
Hu Ye sent two people out, one Lao Qian went to Lingnan, and the other Zou Kai went to Suzhou.
Lingnan is farther away than Suzhou, and the environment is even worse, but Lao Qian came back first, and he also brought back what Hu Ye wanted, and there was more than one.
"Young master, there really is this thing there, you see."
As soon as Lao Qian entered the house, he took off a jar from his back, which was wrapped in various black cloths, leaving only a small hole for ventilation.
"Go inside."
Hu Ye knew that this thing was afraid of light, especially the big sun now, so he took the old money into the house, then closed the door curtain, opened the black cloth around it, and in the faint light, he saw three swimming things, which were bigger than what he saw on the side of Zizichen.
"Young master, I saw over there that there are more dragon-like ones than that, are they really not dragons?" Lao Qian asked Hu Ye curiously, he had never seen this kind of thing, but it looked so much like a dragon, it was difficult not to let him associate it with a dragon.
"You also saw that article, the so-called dragon obligation, but human ignorance, this kind of thing, the local people call salamander, just a fish that lives underground, it can be said to be a baby fish, because it has not been exposed to light for a long time, so it will be white, the body is mutated, you see their claws, in fact, their feet, as long as they are fed outside for a period of time, their feet will degenerate." Hu Ye pointed to the three salamanders in the water tank, and then said, "Don't you have a grudge against that little Taoist priest who is at ease?" Now I'll take you to trouble them. ”
"Looking for trouble? Isn't this matter very wide-ranging? Even the prince is involved, if we..."Although Lao Qian was not smart, he was not stupid at that time, and the second prince went to appear a real dragon, so it would be strange if there was no big incident."
"You don't have to worry about this, you see what this is?"
Hu Ye smiled, and then pulled out a holy decree from under his sleeve.
"Young Master, is this a holy decree?" Old Qian asked curiously.
"Not bad. After you left, the emperor had already entrusted me with all this matter, and as long as you brought these things back, I would lead my troops to exterminate Zizichen. Hu Ye said casually.
"Really?" Although the light was very dim, Hu Ye could see Lao Qian's sneer at that time, as well as the snow-white teeth, Lao Qian was bullied by the little Taoist that day, if it wasn't for Hu Ye to stop him, the little Taoist would have already become a pile of meat paste.
"But, young master. We don't have soldiers. Lao Qian then remembered that they had returned from the expedition, the navy had returned to Quanzhou, and the Shenji Battalion had been taken back by Zhu Di, and the young master of his family was no longer a general who could command tens of thousands of people at any time.
"We don't have soldiers, my eldest brother has soldiers, his soldiers haven't done it for a long time, and now they must have itchy hands."
Hu Ye smiled, and then went out with the old money. All the way to Hu Benwei, where Zhang Fu is now on duty.
"Yezi, there's news?" Zhang Fu saw that Hu Ye's face was full of smiles, and he knew about this real dragon. I'm afraid that there will be results.
"Big brother, how long has it been since you killed a life?" Hu Ye asked straight to the point.
Zhang Fu was stunned when he heard this, and carefully calculated that since the martyrdom. He never seemed to kill again. Hu Ye didn't say it, he still couldn't remember.
"Yezi, what do you mean by that?" Zhang Fu asked Hu Ye curiously.
"Hehe, we're good brothers. You sold me last time, I didn't blame you, this time I also provided you with a chance to train, how can you thank me? Hu Ye said with a smile.
"An opportunity to train troops? You mean that? Zhang Fu thought about it carefully and immediately understood.
"Yes, big brother, do you remember when I was called alone? At that time, the emperor had already given me a privilege, as long as I could prove that the so-called real dragon was fake, I would immediately lead my troops to destroy the free man, this kind of wicked person who took the opportunity to accumulate wealth, it was not a pity to die. Hu Ye said.
Zhang Fu heard that Hu Ye didn't mention the relationship between the real dragon and the two princes, and knew that this was what Zhu Di meant, the first confrontation between the two princes died down like this, and the expected bloody storm did not come, but it was just ruined.
So Zhang Fu ordered more than a dozen veterans and followed Hu Ye to Nazifu.
The head of Zizi is called Zhang Huaxian, and the Taoist personnel surnamed Zhang is naturally inseparable from Zhang Yuchu, so when Hu Ye and Zhang Fu led the army to Zizaichen, Zhang Yuchu knew that something was wrong, and stopped Hu Ye and the others before Hu Ye and them rushed to Zizaichen.
"Heavenly Master, what are you doing here?" Hu Ye looked at Zhang Yuchu, who was blocking in front, and asked loudly.
"I'm just here to ask for a favor."
Zhang Yuchu sat in the middle of the road and muttered.
"Intercession? What do you ask for? Zhang Fu asked curiously, there are thousands of Taoisms in the world, and there are many dilapidated Taoist temples every day, why does Zhang Yuchu care so much about freedom?
"I have some relationship with the head of the house, so I only ask the dean to let him go and stay alive." Zhang Yuchu said loudly.
"The so-called Taoist feather into an immortal, the Heavenly Master Yu character generation, that Zhang Hua Immortal into a character generation, not only that Zhang Hua Immortal but what kind of relatives of the Heavenly Master?" Hu Ye asked curiously.
In fact, as early as after the rumors of the real dragon were made in Zizi, Zhang Yuchu had been paying attention to this matter, Hu Ye could often see Zhang Yuchu anxiously stomping his feet, and the shipbuilding metal that should have been produced at a rapid pace also came to a standstill, which indicated that Zhang Yuchu had a problem.
Now that Hu Ye has decided to attack Zizichen, Zhang Yuchu can't wait any longer, and if he doesn't stop it, I'm afraid that Zizichen will turn into ashes.
"Dean, that Zhang Huaxian is a dog, mistakenly believing the words of the villain, thinking that the real dragon can make the dragon fly freely, dominate the world Taoism, and surpass Longhu Mountain, I have said it many times, he just doesn't believe it, but now he wants to eat the consequences, I just ask the dean to look at the old man's face, surround his life, let him follow the old man, and concentrate on atonement." Zhang Yuchu said with a stern face.
"Heavenly Master, this is the emperor's decree to me, take a look." Hu Ye sighed and handed over the holy decree that Zhu Di gave him a few days ago to Zhang Yuchu.
Zhang Yuchu took the holy decree with some trembling, and then looked at it, and after reading it, he smiled bitterly, because the holy decree was very simple, the Taoist priest who was at ease not only did not understand the common people, but took the opportunity to collect money, fish and flesh the people, and should have robbed the family and exterminated the clan, but the emperor was benevolent and only killed the people who were at ease.
"Hehe, it seems that the old man is self-inflicted." Zhang Yuchu smiled bitterly, then returned the holy decree to Hu Ye and prepared to leave.
Looking at Zhang Yuchu's slightly rickety back, Hu Ye suddenly sighed, Zhang Yuchu had never begged him for anything, did he have to refuse this first time? But this is Zhu Di's order, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and he can only blame that Zhang Huaxian for asking for hardship, and even dare to get something like a real dragon.
"Heavenly Master, maybe I can save his life, but only if the Heavenly Master can help me find enough things to build a ship." Hu Ye said loudly.
As soon as he heard that his son was still saved, Zhang Yuchu immediately came to his senses and said loudly, "As long as the dean can save his life, I will work day and night to refine steel." ”
"In that case, the Heavenly Master should please go back, I will bring Zhang Huaxian back to the academy and let him practice with the Heavenly Master." Hu Ye muttered.
"Then there's Dean Law." Zhang Yuchu arched his hand to Hu Ye, and then went back to the academy, as long as Hu Ye spoke, he knew that Zhang Huaxian was saved, although he would no longer be the head of the house in the future, but leaving a life was the most important thing.
"Yezi, although Zhang Tianshi is pitiful, but this is the emperor's intention, do you want to resist the decree?" After Zhang Yuchu left, Zhang Fu asked Hu Ye curiously.
"Big brother, what is a little freedom, if it is extinguished, it will be destroyed, but if it can be exchanged for a new type of weapon, I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to taste it." Hu Ye said with a smile.
"A new type of weapon? Could it be the ship you just mentioned? Zhang Fu asked curiously, but he shook his head randomly, and then said, "Now that our fleet of the Ming Dynasty is invincible in the world, there is no need for new ships at all, and I don't think the emperor is necessarily interested." ”
"Hehe, what if a new ship could deal with an entire fleet? Do you think the emperor will be interested? Hu Ye said a little profoundly.
"What! One ship can deal with a fleet? Yezi, you're not kidding, are you? ”
Zhang Fu was directly frightened half to death by Hu Ye, this sea is not as good as land, an army can destroy a country, but it is not easy to ask a ship to destroy someone else's fleet. Even if it is their big ship in the Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to say that it can destroy a fleet of other countries with one ship.
"No kidding, I'll know when the ship is built, and I'll cover it up in front of everyone when the time comes."
As for the new ship, it is naturally a modern steel ship made of metal, such a ship, the ability to resist wind and waves at sea is not known how many times that of the current ship, it can be regarded as a real ship! As long as he goes on a rampage, all the wooden ships are no match for him, not even weapons, because the main body is its most powerful weapon.
However, to create such a ship, the difficulty is also extremely high, in addition to having enough metal, but also advanced welding technology, otherwise the cracks may not be able to withstand the pressure of the sea, if the sea leaks, this metal ship will not be saved.
But Hu Ye is not very worried, isn't he still a big businessman? Once the freedom is solved, then He Fatzi will naturally come to the door, and when the time comes, let this goods find the news of natural gas, and use that thing to weld, which is more suitable.
"Haha, are you here again? I can tell you that although you gave money last time, if you want to see the real dragon this time, you still have to give money. ”
It was still the little Taoist priest, who saw Hu Ye coming again with the old money, and immediately greeted him with a big laugh.
However, what awaited him was not silver, but the knife of old money. (To be continued......)
