The traditional casting method of the cannon is at the tail of the gun, and after the molten iron enters the model, the heavy one sinks and the light one floats, so the quality of the muzzle is better than that of the belly of the gun with greater pressure. If you think differently and put the filling mouth on the muzzle, the quality of the iron cannon can be improved a lot immediately.

Hong Zuwei does not have the talent to cast cannons, but he can apply the theoretical knowledge in a book "A Brief Theory of Physics" to production, which Zhu Cihong appreciates the most.

"I write a lot of things, and some people think I know everything, but it's a big mistake!" Zhu Cihong nodded at Hong Zuwei and said: "Only when millions of people in the world brainstorm and fill in the gaps can we truly prosper the Ming Dynasty and make the people live a better life." I've made a start, and it's good that you, Xu Xie, and thousands of others can keep up. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your encouragement!" Hong Zuwei straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Very good, the lad is also very spirited." Zhu Cihong thought of that "Hujian", smiled again, and asked him to disband.

That's the end of the meeting.

You Shiwei did not leave with these "small" staff officers, and walked up to Zhu Cihong and reported: "Your Highness. ”

"General You." Zhu Cihong walked in front and invited: "How about going out for a walk together?" ”

Of course, You Shiwei will not object.

Zhu Cihong walked in front, and after thinking about it, he could only move his waist and legs in a small garden. While taking lunges without image and stretching his leg muscles, he said, "I didn't ride a horse today, and my muscles and bones seem to be tight." I really don't know how to live in the palace all day after leveling the ugly and obedient thieves. Hehe, I see General You's solemn face, but what confusion is there? ”

You Shiwei followed Zhu Cihong to a small flower hall, seeing the surrounding green bushes, his heart was still a little depressed, and said, "Your Highness." Now that the great enemy is present, and our army is talking about the southeast first, will it make people uneasy? ”

"Well, this, I remember that Yang Sichang said a sentence back then: If you go outside, you must first settle inside." Zhu Cihong stood still, expanded his chest and turned his waist. Said: "My clan got its name from the Han Dynasty, it is for the Han nationality, and it has been more than 1,700 years old, there are civil governance, martial arts, and there are unbearable times when they were slaughtered and brutalized by foreign races. But well, who are you and me? ”

"Naturally, it's Han Chinese." You Shiwei was a little puzzled.

"Yes, so ......" Zhu Cihong guided step by step: "It shows that I am a Han man with steel and iron bones, even if there is Mengyuan Chaohua." Still able to stand up! In this way, who is the biggest enemy of my Han people? It's not a foreign race, it's the Han people themselves. ”

"Didn't Your Highness also say that internal friction just let outsiders take advantage of it in vain?" You Shiwei did not think the prince's explanation was reasonable.

"Yes, that's true." Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "But fighting Xuzhou first is not considered internal friction, but the integration of resources." ”

"Unification?"

"The importance of Xuzhou has been made very clear by the staff officers just now. Let's compare it to a piece of gold, which is in the hands of Gao Jie. I can only use him as a pillow. In our hands, it can be used to buy food to save people. Build artillery to kill the enemy. For this reason, I spent a tael of silver in exchange for this piece of gold, which seemed to consume liliang internally, but in fact, the resources I got far exceeded my expenses, thus producing greater benefits, which is the integration of resources. What Yang Sichang said should be taken as this solution. It is wise to integrate resources from outside to secure the interior. If you don't, you're foolish! Suppose Gao Jie occupies a useless land, will I take him? He begged me to go, but I was reluctant to spend that coil. ”

You Shiwei's brows gradually unraveled, and he said, "What His Highness said is really incisive. ”

"There's nothing brilliant about it, just find a businessman to know this truth." Zhu Cihong said: "Besides. If Gao Jie still has a trace of loyalty, when our army arrives, he should bind himself and accept the adaptation. At that time, I might give him a way out of retirement in order to appease other military towns. ”

You Shiwei nodded in agreement. If Gao Jie didn't know the current affairs and had a rebellious heart, he should have rectified the Fa on the spot.

"Has the general heard of contradictions?" Zhu Cihong asked again.

"Attack the shield of the son with the spear of the son?"

"Exactly," Zhu Cihong nodded, "One yin and one yang are the way, and everything in the world is nothing but yin and yang." This is the fundamental contradiction. Before the Eastern Captives entered the customs, I was the contradiction between my imperial family and the thieves. As soon as the Dongyu came, the situation naturally changed, and it became a contradiction between our Han people and his Manchurians. Just now I said that the integration of resources can be used against the Ming army. Now, for the sake of national righteousness, we must have a mind that can accommodate thieves. General You, if you are in charge of the General Staff, you should start with the overall situation of the world. ”

You Shiwei's arrogance was dispersed by Zhu Cihong, and he sincerely admired: "To be honest, I didn't believe these two sentences. Give His Highness such an explanation, think about it, this is indeed the truth! ”

Zhu Cihong laughed and recommended Aristotle's "Logic" by the way.

The parent book of this series of books should be the later "Tool Theory". As a liberal arts student, Zhu is well aware of the driving force of formal logic in the social sciences. He originally planned to find someone to translate when he became an adult, but he didn't expect to see this set of books in Ouchi's library when he was five years old, named "Huan Youquan" in six volumes and "Famous Detective" in ten volumes, which were translated by Li Zhizao and Portuguese priest Fu Xunji.

Li Zhizao, as a jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, is more in line with the taste of scholars. Zhu Cihong just changed the name of this set of books and named it "Logic", and immediately ordered someone to engrave it for preparation. At the time of the Jiashen Change, they were also brought to Laizhou and printed as a key bibliography.

You Shiwei didn't expect Zhu Cihong to recommend a book by Taixi, thinking that he hadn't even understood the things of his ancestors, but he couldn't say that he would refuse, but he just agreed to it, for fear that the prince would ask him to hand in some reading notes or something after reading it.

This is not unfounded, writing notes and diaries in the army has become a system, which makes many veteran generals very uncomfortable. Niu Chenghu also wanted to hire two clerks because of this, but he was characterized as "hiring a private person" and received a warning.

"Chitose-sama!"

When Wang Chengen saw Zhu Cihong and You Shiwei standing together, he shouted from afar: "Your Highness, the emperor invites you to speak." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said to You Shiwei: "General, go back first." ”

You Shiwei saluted and was about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Chengen. I saw Wang Chengen with a smile on his face: "The governor is not busy leaving, and the emperor is also summoned." ”

You Shiwei paused at his feet and said "obey".

The entire inner palace here is not as big as a palace in the past, Zhu Cihong and You Shiwei arrived at the small pavilion by the pond where Chongzhen is located in three or two steps, and saw that his mother, aunt and Concubine Yuan were present together, and there were all kinds of fruits and pastries piled up on the stone table, obviously it was a family gathering, and I don't know why You Shiwei was summoned together.

"The sons and daughters of Cihong pay a visit to the imperial father, the imperial aunt, and the imperial mother." Zhu Cihong stepped forward to salute, without losing half of the courtesy.

Chongzhen smiled and was about to get him up, when he suddenly saw the golden python epaulette on You Shiwei's shoulder, and the light on his face dissipated, but he just said "Xing" calmly.

Zhu Cihong got up, and Zhou Hou was already excitedly shouting for the seat, and complained: "These days, I don't know what you're busy with, and you're too lazy to do it in the morning and dusk?" ”

"The queen mother has wronged her son." Zhu Cihong said helplessly: "Erchen just came back from Dengzhou to inspect the sailors, and in the past few days, for the occupation of Shenjing by the Dongyu, he went to the Lexia defense line overnight to inspect the armament, and he really didn't have time. ”

Chongzhen said coldly: "Today, the ministers of the Southern Capital sent a seal, saying that they want to reward the army of Dongyu, invite Wu Sangui, the Xibo of Jinping, to be the marquis, and to reward Li Yutian, the governor of Liaodong, do you know?" ”

- This tone is clearly saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do!

For the first time, You Shiwei felt that the emperor was really unconscious.

"Erchen heard about it," Zhu Cihong smiled, "It's the so-called 'borrowing and pingkou' strategy of the southeastern ministers." But Father, Dongyu is a crowd of tigers and wolves, will he really retreat outside the gate? ”

"When did they turn into wilderness and retreat on their own?" Chongzhen didn't have confidence when he said this.

"Father," Zhu Cihong still said with a deep smile, "The southeastern ministers are really blind. Today's Wu Sangui is already the king of Pingxi in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Li Yutian, who they want to commend, hehe, has long been Li Zicheng's Sichuan Festival envoy, I'm afraid that it is a little inappropriate to reward the ministers of the thieves. ”

Looking at Emperor Chongzhen, who was stunned, Zhu Cihong said leisurely: "And according to the opinion of the sons, not only will Dongyu not leave, I am afraid that there is still the heart to annex the universe." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present did not change their color. (To be continued......)
