Chapter Twenty-Four: Death Admonition

After Zhu Houhuang's report, he entered Zhengde's room, but saw that Zhengde was reprimanding Qiu Ju and said, "You don't care about such things in the future." ”

Qiu Ju knelt on the ground, clasped his head like garlic and said, "The slave knows." ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Brother Huang." ”

Zhengde turned around and said, "So you came, how is it, doesn't your leg hurt?" ”

It's good that Zhengde didn't mention this matter, but as soon as he mentioned this matter, Zhu Houhuang immediately felt that his legs were in pain, and it was unbearable. He couldn't help but grin his teeth and said, "Brother Huang didn't say it, I don't think I think it's really unbearable." ”

Zhengde laughed and said: "How about it, can you hold it, you can't just stay in Juyong Pass." ”

Zhu Houhuang said loudly: "Of course you can hold on." ”

Clean up, after breakfast, the army is pulled, in fact, speaking of the army, it is just more than a thousand horses, so the army is not said to be able to be pulled.

Zhengde Yu entourage got on the horse one after another, and the front sentry rode to open the way, Zhengde walked in the center of the team, and suddenly stopped when he left Juyongguan. Zhengde frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

A ride came quickly to report, and someone blocked the road in front.

Zhengde said angrily: "When the army travels, who dares to block the road?" ”

"It's Lord Zhang."

Zhengde's face darkened suddenly. Without saying a word, he galloped out, Zhu Houhuang followed closely behind, and after a while, he came to the city gate.

The gates were wide open, but a man fell on his knees, blocking his way. It was Zhang Qin.

Zhengde said angrily: "What do you want to do? ”

Zhang Qin said: "Please Your Majesty take Jiangshan Sheji as the priority and return to Luanjing." ”

Zhengde said: "Little prince, I have repeatedly violated my realm, I have inherited my ancestor, the descendant of Xuanzong, and the royal driver, why not." ”

Zhang Qin said: "Therefore, there is the battle of Tumubao, north of the Yellow River, which is not owned by my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty wants to learn from Yingzong, and I don't know who can do it." ”

Zhengde was so angry that his face was flushed, he trembled all over, and said angrily: "Presumptuous." ”

Yingzong was the Ming Emperor who was captured in the Battle of Tumubao, and he was also the ancestor of Zhengde. The Battle of Tumubao was an eternal shame for the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of it at this moment, it is a prophecy that Zhengde will inevitably be captured when he goes out of the customs this time, so how can Zhengde not be angry.

Zhang Qin said: "The minister is guilty of capital crimes. ”

Zhengde's voice was cold, and he said, "You really don't want to let it? ”

Zhang Qin said loudly: "Your Majesty must go out of the customs, please step on the body of the minister." ”

There are thousands of horses behind Zhengde, if they step on Zhang Qin's body, Zhang Qin will definitely turn into meat puree.

Zhengde clenched the whip in his hand, and his fingers rattled. For a while, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

The gate of Juyong Pass is very large, and even if Zhang Qin kneels in the center, people can still walk on horseback on both sides. But Zhengde knew that this person had already had the heart of death, and if he ordered him to go out, he would be looking for death. It's useless to get around either.

Is it just really stepping on this person?

Zhengde can't be ruthless.

A gust of wind blew, rolling up a cloud of sand. Zhengde suddenly remembered Emperor Hongzhi, and said secretly: "If my father is here, he knows that I am going to step on the ministers to death, so he must kill me."

"Hui Luan."

Zhengde burst out of these two words from between his teeth, and turned around as soon as he pulled the reins and left.

Zhang Qin couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhengde snorted coldly and said, "This person can't even shoot sycophants." ”

Zhu Bin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are we really not going?" ”

"How so?" Zhengde snorted coldly and said, "Qiu Ju, give me death." ”

Qiu Ju immediately rode his horse to Zhengde's side and said, "Emperor." ”

Zhengde said: "I don't believe that person who goes to die, he can stay in Juyong Pass for the rest of his life." ”

Qiu Ju said, "Yes." ”

Zhengde sighed and said, "Forget it this time." Wait until the fall. ”

In this way, Zhu Houhuang followed Zhengde on a trip to Juyong Pass, and ran back, only to make the skin on the inside of his legs all worn out, and there was no other gain.

After the other officials heard about Zhengde's actions, they played one after another, and Zhengde was once again overwhelmed by the performance, and heard that Yang Ting and the scholars also played in a stern tone, anyway, Zhengde was very unhappy during this period, and he didn't play war games, nor hunting, but only in the leopard room, drank excessively, and went to the carnival with his beauties.

When Zhu Houhuang went, Zhengde was drunk once and pulled Zhu Houhuang to hold an uncovered conference together. Zhu Houhuang didn't dare to play like this, and if he couldn't get a charge of defiling the court, he would cover him, and since then, Zhu Houhuang has rarely gone to the leopard room.

During this period of time, Zhu Houhuang was only busy with two things, that is, military training, and longitude and latitude.

It's okay to say that the military training has passed, Wu Ming doesn't know how many sticks he has broken, and finally let these peasants have discipline and look like an army, but the flintlock pistol makes Qian Ning embarrassed, as the big steward of the leopard room, everything that the emperor has explained, he is doing it, and so is the flintlock pistol. But flintlock pistols aren't easy to get.

At least the flintlock pistol they made, Zhu Houhuang was not satisfied. Nine out of ten can't make a sound, they just draw a scoop according to the gourd, according to the drawings given by Zhu Houhuang, and build it as it is, as for whether it can be ignited or not, they don't care.

made Zhu Houhuang angry and looked for Qian Ning.

Qian Ning gave Zhu Houhuang a lot of face. Immediately found trouble with the Weapons Division, and it is said that he killed a lot in a row, but he did it to the extent that every flintlock pistol could be fired, which seemed to be a very harsh thing at this time. However, under Channing's stern almost murderous pressure, all the craftsmen came up with the style of creating works of art to create this batch of flintlock pistols.

But in this way, the time is slowed down. It can only be delivered little by little.

Zhu Houhuang had no choice but to ask Wu Ming to find someone to carve 300 flintlock pistols on the wood, and let these 300 people practice decomposition movements.

The matter on this side has just been resolved, and Zhu Houhuang is facing another problem.

Zhu Houhuang looked at the map in his hand, how it didn't look like a map of China, although the outline of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, and the coastline was a little familiar, but it was too far from the map he drew according to the influence.

Fang Bai is not a genius who will never forget, his hand-drawn maps must have a lot of errors, but it is certain that these drawn maps have even greater errors.

But how is this how it was drawn?

In fact, Zhu Houhuang didn't think much about it, and the affairs of Father-in-law Wei, don't underestimate any eunuch who mixes up in the palace. It's just that when he just started, he didn't see the means of Wei Gonggong, near the capital, he was really surveyed on the spot, and for Xuanda, he was called a scout from the four armies outside, and one came to report to him a little bit by pile.

In fact, many times there are two people who contradict each other, and not both of them are lying. But because of the different angles between people, the things they see are not very different, because there are also errors in personal memory, and so on, anyway, the sand table of Xuanda is probably a bit of a problem.

However, compared with the sand table in other places, the sand table of Xuanda is still good.

At least Father-in-law Wei took the method of mapping and asking. But when it was the turn of the sand table elsewhere, it was simply made according to the map.

The map of the Ming Dynasty does not have contour lines, in fact, how to slow down the map with contour lines into a sand table, Zhu Houhuang does not understand, not to mention the map without contour lines, the map of the Ming Dynasty is quite abstract, there are many different ways to draw, under normal circumstances, it is to see the mountain painting mountain shape, as if it is a triangle superimposed together, that is, the mountain. Where there are trees, draw trees, where there is a river, draw a river, and where there is a city, draw a small square, which is considered a city.

Anyway, it's very abstract, the data is very non-standard, and then the sand table is piled up according to the map, alas, hey, it's really impossible to see.

Zhu Houhuang could never recognize that this was China.

Although Zhu Houhuang mentioned to them that the earth is round and mentioned heliocentrism, Father-in-law Wei never took it to heart. He just had to fool around.

Zhu Houhuang was embarrassed for a while, he looked at all the maps before, and he had to tear down and redo them, but if he wanted to tear down and redo them, it would take him not years, but decades, and this was still a situation where there were reliable manpower. Reliable surveyors aren't all that hard to come by.
