One night's time.

Zhu Chen has already led the craftsmen to make more than a dozen firecrackers.

The firecracker is strictly assembled, so there are many people who are not familiar with it, and many of them are scrapped.

But despite this, such a yield is amazing enough!

It wasn't until dawn that Zhu Chen rubbed his swollen eyes and sat in the compound to rest.

The old man walked in and saw his grandson sitting there, looking a little tired, and his eyes softened.

Zhu Di instructed the back: "Go buy a few big buns." ”

Soon, several big buns were delivered, and Zhu Di carried a few big buns and walked in.

"Stinky boy, how's it going?"

While asking, he urged his grandson to eat steamed buns quickly.

Zhu Chen bit the bun and a smile appeared on his face: "There has been progress, more than ten fire guns were made last night." ”

"This first shot, naturally, is waiting for you to test fire."

"Really?" Zhu Di was a little pleased.

It was inevitable to make it, but Zhu Di didn't expect it to be so fast.

Zhu Chen nodded solemnly: "At the end of the year, I don't want to delay for too long." ”

Zhu Di's brows gradually became solemn, and he stood up with his waist crossed: "Boy, this time you have made a great contribution to Daming." ”

"Take out the firecracker and give it to the old man."

Seeing Zhu Di's solemn face, Zhu Chen also hurriedly ran into the armory and took out a firearm.

It was handed to the old man.

The appearance of the new firecracker is closer to modernity than the old firecracker.

At this time, there was the prototype of the gun.

Although the barrel is long, the explosive power is by no means ordinary.

Holding it in his hand, Zhu Di felt heavy, his eyes were fixed, and he aimed directly at a horse in the distance with one hand.

Rumble!

There was a bang.

A hundred meters away, the horse collapsed with a bang, and there were several more blood holes in its body.

The old man fired the gun, fast and accurate, without dragging the mud and water at all.

Even this marksmanship is extremely accurate.

Seeing the horse fall, Zhu Di's pupils shrank sharply.

This time, he seemed to feel the blood boiling all over his body.

The youthful blood that has been hidden in the body for more than ten years bursts out again.

He lowered his head and looked at the fire gun in his hand, his thick big hand stroked the fire gun rod, and muttered, "With such a divine weapon, how can I not conquer the universe?" ”

He muttered, his hands lightly grinding on the firecracker, as if he hated, hated that he hadn't encountered such a divine soldier decades earlier.

He patted Zhu Chen's shoulder heavily: "Okay, good, boy, you have made a monstrous contribution to Daming." ”

This new-style firecracker is about thirty percent more powerful than the old-fashioned firecracker.

It is not easy to blow up, the ammunition is even, and the firing range is long.

This also means that on the battlefield, the winning rate has increased by 30%!

If the Shenji Battalion is all equipped with such firearms, will it be able to wipe out Mongolia?

The old man was delighted.

Zhu Chen also had a smile on his face: "It's good that the old man is happy." ”

Zhu Di smiled and said, "How about we make an agreement?" ”

"What agreement?" Zhu Chen was curious.

Zhu Di continued: "Old man, I am in my fifties this year, if I ...... I mean, if I still have the courage to spare, I can still live a long life, and our grandfather and grandson can lay a big territory for the Ming Dynasty! ”

After a pause, Zhu Di's eyes were deep: "The two of us can achieve a feat that no one has ever done in the ages." ”

"I want to extend the land of Daming to Sumatra in the west, Java in the north, and southeast to bless future generations!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chen was shocked.

He took a deep breath, anticipation welling up in his eyes.

"However, isn't the national policy a diplomatic peace?" Zhu Chen asked.

Zhu Di smiled dumbly, and his deep pupils were even deeper: "The national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not enough to fight in Sumatra, so naturally the diplomacy will be peaceful." ”

"Our grandfather, I have long wanted to clean up the Japanese country, and I have endured it for decades, but I still haven't done it?"

"In our generation, if you really have the strength, why don't you hurry up and copy the guys?"

The Ming Dynasty is a behemoth, and once a war starts with a foreign country, the other vassal countries will inevitably be frightened, or they may unite to make the Ming suffer heavy losses.

The old man's idea is very simple, if you want to destroy, you will destroy it together, and don't leave any troubles.

Zhu Chen was full of interest: "Okay, old man, I promise you, let's make an appointment to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty together!" ”

Zhu Di crossed his waist, laughed, and knocked on Zhu Chen's head: "Stinky boy, it's early." ”

After a pause, Zhu Di had a new idea.

"This new type of firecracker, when it is made, you can't see its full power."

"When the time comes, find a hundred people from the Mongolian prisoners of war to form a Mongolian team, and the Shenji Battalion will send another hundred people to fight against them with a new type of firecracker."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chen understood.

The old man wants to see how strong the new firecracker is!

"Okay, I'll take the lead!" Zhu Chen said with a smile.

Zhu Di bowed his head: "Then let's say it, I'll bring you the prisoners of war in two days." ”

In the Beijing camp, there were many Mongolian prisoners of war, so they should be brought when the time comes.

Zhu Chen nodded: "Okay!" ”

After agreeing with the old man, Zhu Chen stepped up to make the firecracker.

In his spare time, Zhu Chen was also led by Ji Gang to go to the Shenji Battalion and transfer a hundred soldiers to prepare for war in the armory.

……

These days.

The prince got up early to review the folds, and finally finished the day, but when he planned to go to Zhu's mansion, he always ran into nothing.

The depressed prince found out that he was transferred to the armory by the old man to make some new firecrackers.

In desperation, the prince sat on the threshold of the East Palace, looking forward to sighing.

A body of several hundred pounds, sitting on the threshold, put the threshold under tremendous pressure.

A white-haired puppy passed by the gate of the East Palace and walked to the feet of the prince.

The prince muttered: "What kind of dog is this mother?" Why do you look more and more like my son? ”

As he spoke, he raised the white-haired puppy and looked at each other, and the prince smiled: "That's it, I'll make you the general of the expedition to the north, do you think it?" ”

The puppy barked twice, and the prince was silly.

After a while, he looked at the dog again and sighed: "Son, dad looks at everyone like you now, this dog looks a little like you, look at this nose, look at this little paw, how similar it is." ”

In the East Palace, the dissatisfaction of the crown princess came: "Who are you, compare your son to a dog, then no matter how bad my son looks, he is better looking than a dog." ”

"Look, what's this like?"

"You can't spit ivory out of your dog's mouth."

The prince smiled, put the white-haired puppy down, and pushed it twice: "Let's go, let's go, General Zhengbei, hurry up and go to Zhengbei." ”

The white-haired puppy snorted twice, and suddenly his tail stood up and barked fiercely at the prince.

Screaming loudly.

The prince said helplessly: "Okay, don't scream, it's noisy." ”

Dogs don't listen.

The prince stepped forward, took a chicken leg, and threw it far away: "you, General Zhengbei." ”

The general of Zhengbei ran away with a sigh.
