Chapter 186: I am the only one
Hao Fenglou took the newspaper with suspicion, and was immediately attracted by a recital in the newspaper.
The Ming Dynasty's Di Bao has a strong wind direction, to put it bluntly, in fact, it is a certain weather vane of the imperial court to the officials of the world, if all the officials do not read the Di Bao, do not know the wind direction of the court recently, and if they are not careful, they may not know how to die.
"According to the investigation, the craftsmen in the area of the Purple Mountain gathered, and there were no less than 500 craftsmen in the circle, and the ministers inspected according to the facts, but they were hindered by people.
Hao Fenglou saw the news, and couldn't help narrowing his eyes, obviously, these people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not willing to be lonely, and now seeing that Zhu Neng is dissatisfied with this, they also want to follow the fall into the well, in fact, they were impeached by the imperial envoy, Hao Fenglou felt that it didn't matter, he ate mixed rice in Nanjing, but all the characters with heads and faces, which one should not be scolded by these fly-like imperial envoys, this imperial envoy Zhang wanted to come here to inspect, but was stopped by the people in the camp, and made a few noises, it is also a matter of course, Hao Fenglou does not mind.
But the question is, why did this recital be reported to the palace, and who secretly instructed it? It stands to reason that the publication of the Di newspaper is not unrelated to the Hanlin Academy, could it be that the Hanlin people have long seen themselves unpleasant, so this time they took the opportunity to cross the river and demolish the bridge?
There is this possibility, Hao Fenglou knows that there are few good birds in these people in Nanjing City, don't look at those Hanlin usually generous, as if you offended you by a point or two, he just laughed it off, but this is just the surface, they laughed and passed, they were unwilling to fight with you. But once they encounter a good deal that falls into the ground, these people are afraid that they will inevitably take action.
But the question is, who was Hanlin who instructed this recital to be reported to the palace? Wenyuan Pavilion's solution? Or are they those who read and speak?
Hao Fenglou didn't know much about these people, so he didn't have a clue.
However, in the next Di newspaper, Hao Fenglou saw a rather interesting recital: "Zhou Jin, the head of the household department's money and grain, said: Recently, the weather has been dry and dry, and many places in Beijing have gone on fire, and the carrier warehouse also caught fire yesterday, burning down nine warehouses, and there were no casualties. The Terracotta Division arrived in time, and the fire was extinguished, although it was a natural disaster, it was also caused by negligence, and the minister deserved death. I beg the Holy Judge. ”
The carrier compartment caught fire......
Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing, this carrier warehouse is located near Zhengyangmen. It is the largest military storage warehouse in Nanjing. There are a large number of swords, guns, swords, halberds, longbows, and arrows in reserve, and when they don't catch fire, but at this time they catch fire, which shows that there is a lot of strangeness in it.
Hao Fenglou pondered in his heart, this should be done by someone on purpose, or these people in the household department want to cover it up. Maybe the entire warehouse has been emptied by them a long time ago, and they are so greedy that they are going to use troops against Annan again, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is urging them to ask for these military funds. So he simply burned down the warehouse without doing anything, and when the time came, the head of the household department in charge of the military reserve must be unlucky, but the others were able to keep it.
At this juncture, there are really people who dare to do this.
Thinking about the impeachment of Hao Fenglou again, Hao Fenglou suddenly understood that this was a premeditated gang crime, that is to say, there is a group of people involved in a lot of people, from the household department to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Hanlin Academy, and may even involve the yamen of 7788, they joined hands to get benefits from the military reserves, and now seeing that the East Window incident is about to happen, they simply play a big game.
But will the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies give up? Naturally not, they are going to bleed, you burned all the swords, guns, swords and halberds, let everyone take the burning stick to do the work? Since it doesn't work, it will definitely make trouble, so someone lifted Hao Fenglou out and pushed Hao Fenglou to the cusp, and those ministers who hid behind the military reserve of the household department thought that they wanted Hao Fenglou to attract firepower and use Hao Fenglou as the object of anger in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
This is like when someone questions you, if you let him stalk him, it is definitely not the most effective way, because once people get serious, it is very likely to implicate you. And the only way is to set up a target, it just so happens that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is dissatisfied with Hao Fenglou, and Hao Fenglou has also taken away a lot of military funds, so that everyone's attention can be turned to Hao Fenglou, so as to minimize their losses.
"Fuck it!" Hao Fenglou couldn't help but scold, and slapped the newspaper on the case, he was actually hacked like this, if you fall into the well, Hao Fenglou can still understand, but these grandsons are obviously taking themselves as the wronged leader, which cannot be tolerated.
Zhu Zhiling looked at Hao Fenglou with a little worry, and said, "I have also heard some rumors, saying that many people do not deal with you, are you scolding the imperial envoy?" ”
Hao Fenglou shook his head and said: "This imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is just a knife for others, I am scolding the person who holds the knife, these people are really hateful, right...... Don't pay attention to anything else, even if you do, it's useless. ”
Hao Fenglou knew that it was useless to jump out and fight back now, the best way was to do a good job of the fire gun, and only if it was done well could it be turned around.
It's just that in the face of this kind of unwarranted disaster, even an optimistic person like Hao Fenglou can't help but feel a little gloomy in his heart, and he said with a tired face: "Sleep, I'm tired." ”
Zhu Zhiling looked at him with a gloomy face, and the worry in his heart couldn't help but increase a little more, and comforted him: "Actually...... Actually, it's not a big deal, these envoys are like flies, just ignore it, it's really not possible, I ...... I'll find a way to ...... with the palace."
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Hey...... I beg my beautiful sister not to worry, I'm fine, just get some sleep, what is this blow, Hao Qianhu will be the marquis in the future, will you care about these ghosts?"
Zhu Zhiling also smiled reluctantly and said, "But I see that your face is not good, Xiao Xiangxiang...... Xiao Xiangxiang, ask her to take care of you. ”
Hao Fenglou said: "She's already asleep, don't wake her up." ”
Zhu Zhiling breathed a sigh of relief: "Please don't be sad, okay?" In fact...... This kind of thing, I have experienced it, I understand this kind of taste, I ...... When my father was killed, I almost passed out, and then I traveled thousands of miles to Beiping, and the suffering I suffered is needless to say, and I have been adrift for many years...... Scold...... You see, I don't know what's going on today, look at your uncomfortable appearance, I also feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, maybe it's touching the scene, you go to bed early, well, I also slept. ”
After that, Zhu Zhiling went back to the room with a little overwhelmed face.
Hao Fenglou sighed, and then burst into laughter. I seem to be a little sensitive, knowing that these people are not good things, but I want to hope, in fact, the reason why I have such emotions is just to overestimate the discipline of those people.
In a few days, the improvement of the fire gun has continued, in addition to the gun pipe, there are also gun handles and wooden brackets also need to be adjusted, the reason why Hao Fenglou chose walnut wood to make brackets and gun handles, is because walnut wood is more wear-resistant, and much stronger than ordinary wood, this part has nothing to do with the process, the main consideration is the ergonomic problem, how to make people comfortable to hold is the point.
In this era, the firearm was not only a firearm for shooting, but also a hammer, at least many officers and soldiers liked to use it in this way, and they could fight in close combat by holding the firearm, and the problem of hand feeling was not what they considered.
Thinking about it like this, Hao Fenglou remembered a more serious problem.
Diathesis.
No matter how good the weapon is, it also depends on the person, at least what he often hears is that even if the officers and men get the firearms, they basically do not maintain them, and some people even deliberately destroy them, and the firearms actually have extremely high maintenance requirements, and they need to be oiled and wiped almost every once in a while.
Hao Fenglou gradually had some ideas, he began to look for Zhu Zhiling, and the idea was to ask Zhu Zhiling to transfer a team of strong men.
There were only fifty of them, and there were not many of them, but they had already taken on a few looks.
After Hao Fenglou saw it, he felt quite satisfied, and immediately asked them to suspend the current exercise, but to carry out a special exercise.
The content of the drill is simple, line up, advance, everything follows the sound of drums, advance and retreat, and fifty people are divided into three teams, walking back and forth.
Subsequently, Hao Fenglou brought another batch of firecrackers, which were 'inferior' products that were trial-produced, with short range and almost dispensable accuracy.
Maintenance must have a clear eye, every night, all the guns to be put into storage, and also to check the maintenance status, if someone is lazy, naturally will not be punished.
Fortunately, most of these people are from a hard background, and they have not been contaminated with a temperament, and even if they have, after a few months of tempering, they have already converged. In fact, in the first few months, not only did they sharpen their endurance and physical strength, but also gave this rabble basic discipline.
In addition to eating, sleeping, and literacy is a drill every day, most people are actually numb, and they don't have time to think about anything, and they only know how to do what they want to do according to their superiors.
It doesn't matter if you have a thought or not, it's the most important thing to be obedient. This is what Hao Fenglou wants, after all, no matter which yamen in the Ming Dynasty is now, or the pro-army, the border army, there is a strange quality, everyone thinks of their own ideas, the top lets you go out of the customs to inspect, you don't know where to hide to fight rabbits when you get out of the customs, let you go to patrol the night, it doesn't take half an hour to snore, everyone is very smart, too smart, and there are more and more smart people. There are fewer and fewer stupid people, and at the moment they are quite good, at least there are people to supervise the formation, and everyone still knows to grit their teeth and rush forward to kill, if it is a few decades later, it is that as soon as the smart people see the enemy, they will break up and flee cleanly.
So Hao Fenglou doesn't like smart people, here, he just needs to be smart.
