Chapter 459: The Foreigner Is Back

"Ten years!"

In the Longjiang Shipyard, beside the shipbuilding platform where countless craftsmen were busy in full swing, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ruddy, looking at the craftsmen and officials in front of him led by Zhang Ergong.

"Zhang Ergong, don't forget your ten-year appointment with me."

Zhang Ergong was sincerely frightened, and bowed down and hugged his hands: "The minister will never forget!"

"Hahahaha......" The emperor let out a hearty laugh, walked up to Zhang Ergong, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, and said in a voice that only Zhang Ergong could hear, "I am old, but I still have the crown prince and the grandson. You just have to do things, and if the Ming Dynasty is as you say, there is an invincible fleet above the sea, I will also protect you as a king."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang looked back at Zhu Yunxi, who was standing with a smile on his face, the grandson of the Ming Emperor who was personally set by him.

Zhu Yunxi understood, stepped forward in small steps, and bowed his head: "Grandpa."

Zhu Yuanzhang still said in a voice that could only be heard by the three people present: "When the second steam warship begins to be built, Jin Zhang Ergong will be the secretary of the Ministry of Works, which is the promise that his grandfather promised him."

There is not much time left for the current Ministry of Industry Shangshu Wang Jun!

At most, at the turn of spring and summer next year, when the first steam warship returns from Cochin Road, it will be formally finalized and the construction of the second one will begin.

Zhu Yunxi thought for a moment in his heart, glanced at Zhang Ergong, who had not yet reacted, and then arched his hand and said, "Sun Er knows, and this matter will be discussed with the cabinet cabinet at that time."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi raised his foot and gently kicked Zhang Ergong's calf.

Zhang Ergong reacted at this time, and immediately bowed down: "Thank you."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand with a smile: "Just now on the river, I looked at the fleet that escorted the return of the Japanese workers, and remembered that Ren Hengtai told me that Yingzhou should be divided into several roads. I mean that the main island of Yingzhou is divided into two and there are two roads. The two large islands on the south side are united, and the North Sea side is set together. At that time, the imperial court will have to send a few more veteran and serious officials to the administration."

Zhu Yunxi comprehended, glanced at Zhang Ergong on the side, and said softly: "Cao Guogong is doing a very good job in Yingzhou now, and the matter of pacifying the place is also progressing rapidly, and I think that the imperial court will be able to add four more roads for the Ming Dynasty in Yingzhou next year." The court and the central government hold the old ministers, and the grandson thinks that it should be recommended by the Ministry of Works."

"Then him."

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled, and then looked sideways at Zhang Ergong: "Whether it is Shangshu or Shilang, they should be loyal. The Ministry of Works is the place where you work, you just have to do a good job for the court."

Zhang Ergong was a little panicked.

His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Taisun seem to be about to let the current Shangshu Wang Jun of the Ministry of Industry go to Yingzhou to be a political envoy in the coming year, and he seems to be about to be promoted to another level.

Zhang Ergong said nervously, "The minister doesn't know how to do Shangshu."

"Hahahahaha......"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed, and then said, "If you think you should do something, you will approve it, and if you don't do it, you won't approve it. If you don't understand something, you scold."

Can you still be a scholar like this?

Zhang Ergong was a little puzzled, but Zhu Yunxi, who was on the side, had a smile on his face.

When it comes to the selection of talents, in the end, it is still the old man who is better.

"I've been gone, I've been out for a long time, my family's saint and Poria girl, it's time to think about me."

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the matter was finalized, he waved his hand and left contentedly.

"Your Majesty, Ministers."

……

"Greetings to His Royal Highness."

"Students greet His Royal Highness."

In front of the martial arts hall, the military generals of the DPRK and China, as well as many martial arts students who had never had classes at the moment, gathered here and saluted the grandson who walked down from the carriage.

Zhu Yunxi's expression was very calm, he had been to the martial arts hall too many times, and every grass and tree in the martial arts hall could be said to have grown up under his gaze.

It's just that if it weren't for the decree today, and the eunuchs in the palace came to inform them in advance, the martial arts hall would not be like this

The people came out to greet them.

"Let's all go inside, it's just to spread a will, and then look at the future of my Ming army, how they are learning now."

Zhu Yunxi was very casual, and his eyes swept over the crowd several times.

Then there was a slight surprise in his eyes, and Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, who didn't want to go back to Beijing and wait for the Beijing army to finish its turn, and then continue to lead the army to leave Beijing, was also here.

Cao Zhen noticed the attention of his grandson, raised his head and smiled innocently.

Dongguan Bo He Rong, who recently presided over the academic course of the lecture martial arts, stepped forward with his fists clenched: "Please wait for the minister."

After that, He Rong took the lead in clenching his fists and landing on one knee.

This is the rule for warriors to listen to their orders.

After He Rong, the court's meritorious service, the generals in the army, and the martial artists all clenched their fists and landed on one knee.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at the eunuch who accompanied him out of the palace with the holy decree.

The eunuch immediately stepped forward: "My family is happy, the emperor is immature, in order to ensure smoothness, I will change the lecture to the martial arts students in the martial arts hall, and organize them into a young army to protect the emperor's heirs."

The emperor's will is, as always, plain and straightforward.

However, the overall meaning is also simple and clear, that is, from now on, all the martial arts students who have studied in the martial arts hall and have never graduated will be organized into the young army, nominally to protect the royal heirs.

There is no official rank, and there is no specific division of powers, it is only a name.

Zhu Yunxi clasped his hands together and looked down at everyone: "Get up."

The old man's will was not known in advance. Organize Wusheng into a young army to protect the emperor's heir. But the reason is that the royal family is happy, and the emperor is immature.

So in essence, this is a will to strengthen the control and influence of the royal martial arts.

From an ordinary martial arts student in the martial arts hall, he has become a pro-army of the royal family. After that, these martial arts students will naturally be different in their identities when they return to the army after graduating from the lecture hall.

Dongguan Bo He Rong got up and went to Zhu Yunxi's side: "Your Majesty's grace, talk about the martial arts hall, remember the five insides, and don't forget Your Majesty's holy grace."

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "The left and right are just the name of a young army, and they should not be given officials, when I knew it before, I still felt that the imperial grandfather was too stingy."

He Rong shook his head again and again, looked at the martial artists who had changed from an ordinary Ming army to the young army of the emperor's heir, and said in a deep voice: "After today, all the martial artists who speak of martial arts are all royal pro-soldiers, and this kind of glory is really a blessing for our martial artists."

The martial arts students who have no homework here are also happy for everyone.

What about the upper direct pro-military guard? It is the emperor's pro-army, but the hundreds of thousands of pro-military guards are not so precious.

But the young army is different, only the martial arts students of the martial arts hall are, and according to the will, once the martial arts students graduate from the martial arts hall, they will be automatically separated from the identity of the young army.

In terms of numbers, hundreds of martial arts students are rarer than tens of thousands of military guards.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said nothing, the martial artists got a glorious identity, and the royal family got a more loyal group, which is a happy thing.

Seeing that the decree had been read, Cao Zhen, Marquis of Jingchuan, came to him on tiptoe and said with a smile: "Your Highness has come to Wutang from time to time, but you want to make the gentlemen and students of the Guozijian wronged."

This guy has always been so messing around.

Zhu Yunxi just glanced at this guy: "Marquis Jingchuan hasn't led the army out of Beijing?"

Cao Zhen's face immediately showed helplessness, and he said dissatisfiedly: "The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is too grinding, Weichen came back with soldiers and horses, and they replaced me with a new soldier and horse, wouldn't it be enough?" Wechen should take someone back early.

They are good, saying that the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has been reinstated, the affairs are complicated, the Beijing army must be rectified, and the guards have to take turns, and they swear that they are carefully selecting soldiers who can fight well for Weichen.

Your Royal Highness, God is pitiful, my Ming Dynasty now needs to fight in addition to the Nine Sides, the Eastern Expedition, and the Southern Expedition. Weichen is just taking the soldiers and horses of the Beijing army out of Beijing to go to Xida Xida."

Cao Zhen is here frantically complaining about the efficiency of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

He Rong on the side couldn't help but smile a little on his face: "Cao Hou only dares to say this in front of His Royal Highness, if it is heard by Wei Guogong, I am afraid that Cao Hou will have to eat again."

Zhu Yunxi also chuckled.

After the cabinet meeting that day, Xu Yungong scolded Cao Zhen for being a bastard, but it spread among the nobles.

But at the end of that day, Cao Zhen was still slaughtered by everyone.

It seems that at that time, the Department of Education also got the news in advance, and actually started to raise the price of the ground, and cooperated with everyone to make this Hou Ye feel distressed for a while.

But the results are still very sufficient, at least recently, the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion has been busy, and it is also speeding up the rectification and deployment of troops and horses, so that Cao Zhen can lead the army out of Beijing as soon as possible.

He Rong motioned to the surrounding martial artists to disperse.

Then he whispered to the grandson, "Your Highness is going to take a walk in the martial arts hall today?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded and said, "What classes are you taking now?"

He Rong thought about it carefully and replied, "Now there is a training class, a horse army charging class, and an artillery army class."

Zhu Yunxi raised his eyebrows: "Who is taking the artillery class today?"

"It was the craftsman sent by Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Works, who was entrusted by the Wutang to talk about the theory of artillery and the detailed operation of various types of artillery in the army."

The lecture hall even invited craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry to come to teach, which was something that Zhu Yunxi did not know in advance.

He couldn't help but glance at He Rong with satisfaction.

These meritorious generals, who are regarded as reckless men, still have some brains in the end, and they can also pull their heads down and go to civilian officials to teach martial artists.

He immediately said, "Go over there and have a look, don't disturb the teachings inside."

He Rong understood that Taisun was going to listen outside the classroom.

He immediately let the inconsequential people around him leave, and he and Cao Zhen accompanied several other veterans in Beijing who had been presiding over the martial arts hall for a long time, and accompanied the imperial grandson to the artillery military classroom.

Everyone went to the outside of the artillery class in an instant.

Zhu Yunxi walked in the front, and before he reached the back of the classroom, he heard the passionate sound of teaching in the classroom.

"The theory of today's artillery and the methods of various artillery operations are only a general description, and they will be explained in detail later in the coursework."

"And here, I would like to share a few words of encouragement with you."

Voices in the classroom, pause slightly.

Then, there was a loud inquiry.

"Artillery! What is artillery?"

There was another short pause, and the martial artists in the classroom whispered, and some people gave answers loudly.

"It's used to kill."

"Artillery can be used to storm cities and plunder."

"It can defend against foreign invasion."

However, the craftsman who came to teach today did not seem to be satisfied with the answers of these martial artists.

"No, no, no!" The craftsman shook his head again and again, and said in a deep voice, "What you say makes sense, but it is not the greatest truth. What is artillery?"

The craftsman asked again, but this time no martial artist spoke.

The entire classroom was silent, and everyone was waiting for the craftsman who was not a martial artist to give an answer that would satisfy everyone.

"Artillery! It's used to measure the area of my Ming territory!"

"When you walk out of this martial arts hall and arrive in front of the frontier array, how far can the artillery under your command shoot out, how far the territory of the Ming Dynasty will be!"

"Da Ming! It will be because of you! Because of the artillery you lit! Get stronger!"

Hiss......

Outside the classroom, although everyone remained quiet, everyone seemed to be able to hear the surprise and surprise in the people around them.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the craftsman in the classroom who had already stood up from the podium.

Cao Zhenmeng blinked, looking through the window outside the classroom, trying to see what the craftsman who was teaching looked like.

In that case, can a craftsman say it?

He can't even be considered a civil official!

He Rong hesitated a little and whispered, "Your Highness, this is also the first time that the Martial Arts Hall has invited craftsmen from the Ministry of Engineering to come to teach, and I don't know what they will talk about in advance."

The civil officials are afraid of the reckless use of force, and the generals are also afraid.

Zhu Yunxi shook his head with a smile: "Do you think what he said makes sense?"

"......" He Rong became more and more entangled, and after thinking about it, he decided to follow his heart: "Weichen thinks that there is some truth."

Zhu Yunxi looked at Jingchuan Hou behind him again.

Cao Zhen nodded inside: "The minister also thinks it makes sense."

He looked at the generals in the lecture hall again.

The generals nodded in agreement.

Zhu Yunxi smiled, "What's this person's name?"

"Ai Qianqian."

Zhu Yunxi's eyelids suddenly moved, and he was about to speak, but Tian Mai walked over from the front.

He was about to speak, but Zhu Yunxi raised his hand to stop him.

Zhu Yunxi looked at He Rong again at this time: "Copy a copy of the content of this Mr. Ai's lecture today and send it to Taisun Mansion." In the future, all the content of his teachings should be copied by the lecture hall and delivered to the Taisun Mansion."

That man actually fell into the eyes of the grandson!

He Rong immediately reacted: "Weichen received the order, and when he turned around, Weichen asked Zhang Shilang to drink a few more drinks and leave this Mr. Ai in the lecture hall."

Zhu Yunxi glanced at He Rong and did not give an evaluation.

Instead, he put his hands behind his back, gave Tian Mai a look, and the two walked out.

The people who were left outside the classroom saw that Tian Mai was coming, and they also knew that Taisun must have something else important, so they did not follow him.

Cao Zhen was a little confused: "What's wrong?"

He Rong looked back at this Cao Hou Ye and snorted twice: "Yesterday, I went to the Dadu Governor's Mansion, and they said that Cao Hou's affairs can be done in the next two days, and Cao Hou should return to the camp earlier, so don't stay in my martial arts hall."

Cao Zhen's eyes widened, but in the end, he could only wave his sleeves indignantly.

And Zhu Yunxi, who was about to walk out of the martial arts hall, walked in front and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

Tian Mai followed, lowered his head and whispered, "The foreigner is back, it's the foreigner named Fan Worm."

Tian Mai's tone was a little strange, which made Zhu Yunxi quite curious.

Looking back at Tian Mai, whose face had also become a little strange, Zhu Yunxi became even more curious.

Could it be that foreigners can still call?
