Does Zhu Yunxi want to go to the southwest?

He didn't want to go.

Because in his opinion, the problem of the southwest is a matter of time or time, even if the prince and father don't come to such a big deal, as time goes by, Daming will naturally and completely solve the problem of southwest toast.

And he didn't want to go, but also because he had missed the growth of his stupid son and good daughter, and now that the princess and the side concubine were pregnant again, he didn't want to miss the birth of these two children.

It's just that the prince's father has now spoken in person.

And after rejecting other candidates so many times and making so much foreshadowing.

Zhu Yunxi felt that he had no reason to refuse.

You must know that if the current Ming Dynasty says who has the most power, then it must be the prince and father in front of him.

The old man has really begun to interfere less in the government affairs, and even the recitals sent to the Qianqing Palace every day are just a pastime in his spare time with the baby.

Especially after the Northern Expedition, the emperor can no longer be seen in the large and small court meetings of the imperial court, and it has always been the crown prince who presides over and handles large and small affairs.

The majesty of the crown prince is increasing dramatically, and no one will find anything wrong.

Similarly, even if Zhu Yunxi is his father's son, he can't refuse.

Zhu Biao just glanced at his silent son, and then said softly: "Letting you go to the southwest is actually not for your father's intention. But over the years, you have been doing things outside the country, whether you go to Jiaozhi Road or Guanwai, what you do is outside the country.

In the court, even the new policy has never let you handle it yourself. Even if it was the snow disaster in Zhejiang Road at the beginning, it was your second uncle in front of him.

After this northern expedition, it is said that you want to learn more about how to deal with the government affairs of the country and the dynasty with your father, but no matter how much you see and learn, it is not as good as experiencing it yourself.

When you go to the place, no one will take care of it for you this time, and all the big and small affairs will be cut by you. ”

Obviously, Zhu Biao really began to say at this time why he had laid so much groundwork and asked his son to go to the southwest.

Zhu Yunxi also quieted down, dispelled the original incomprehension in his heart, and quietly waited for the prince's father's final explanation.

Zhu Biao continued: "The imperial court governs the world, and fundamentally starts from the local level. The local government and county officials are the most direct place for my Ming Dynasty to govern the people of the world.

This time through the southwest, it is very simple to completely eliminate the Tusi system and change it to the Liuguan system. The soldiers and horses of all roads surrounded the southwest Tusi, and the army advanced layer by layer, that is, there were 100,000 mountains, and it was impossible for those Tusi to have a place to hide.

But you have to deal with countless Tusi officials, and you have to come into contact with local officials.

And this is also your chance to really face the world, and after this trip, you may really understand what the world is like. When the local government implements the court decrees, what is the difference between them and the ministries and yamen above the court.

You still have a long way to go, and your vision is higher than that of your father, so you still need to see more and walk more, only in this way can you really know what to do in the future, which is the best choice for me to be Ming. ”

Zhu Biao's words can be described as earnest teaching, every word is fine, and he has worked hard.

To sum up, it is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles.

The court is a very complex system.

And the southwest toast is the most special and complex link in this system.

Tusi has the same official system as the Ming Dynasty, but in addition to this, there is also the existence of the local official system. Compared with other officials, Tusi officials have more and higher autonomy over the people under their jurisdiction.

How to stabilize the situation in the southwest after the abolition of the southwest Tusi system, how to ensure the livelihood of the people in the southwest after the abolition of the Tusi official government, and how to ensure the livelihood of the people in the southwest, is the real consideration.

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "My son understands." ”

What the prince's father said is not wrong.

This trip to the southwest will not have much of a problem with military operations.

However, how to abolish the toast system in the end is an extremely complicated issue.

What should be done with the Tusi officials who do not want the Tusi system to disappear and will choose to confront the imperial court. And how to settle those Tusi officials who are willing to obey the imperial decree and change their land is another question.

The priorities of this require countless trade-offs and a most balanced and appropriate approach to truly solve the shortcomings that have existed in the southwest for thousands of years.

Zhu Biao saw that his son was silent, so he smiled and waved his hand: "In fact, the problem of the southwest, through the chaos born in the southwest this time, can be regarded as a general understanding for the father." In general, it is still a request for the hearts of the people.

If the country wants to be strong, in the final analysis, it must be the heart of the world and respected by all the people.

A court that has no popular support and is abandoned by the people is absolutely impossible to exist for too long.

When you go to the southwest this time, no matter what you encounter, you just need to remember that everything starts from the people's heart, and no matter how big the difficulties are, there will be a time to solve them. ”

Zhu Yunxi sat up straight and raised his arms and arched his hands: "Son, keep it in mind." ”

Zhu Biao was still smiling: "Do things well, the country will one day be pressed on your shoulders." ”

Zhu Yunxi nodded silently.

Suddenly, for a moment, he felt that maybe the prince's father's fatherly love was not actually absent, but that he would express it in his own way.

At this time, the carriage had paused visibly, and then came to a complete stop.

Before I went out, I could faintly hear the sound of gunfire outside from time to time.

In the entire land of Yingtianfu Gyeonggi, there can be such a place with constant guns, and only the Ministry of Industry and the firearms research and development base that will be supervised outside the city will have it.

"Father, it's time to get there."

Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Let's go out and have a look." ”

When the father and son stepped out of the carriage, they saw the mountains in front of them.

The mountain peaks are lush and green, but there are several high points on the ridgeline to build forts, among which there are soldiers stationed in the army for a long time, on guard against unpredictable gangsters waiting for the opportunity to spy on the latest firearms situation of the Ming Dynasty from the heights.

At the foot of the mountain, at the end of several hills, there is a huge workshop surrounded by fences and walls.

The sound of gunfire came from this workshop.

Between the workshop and the mountains, in the ravines below the ridgeline, a few thick clouds of smoke rose.

These are supposed to be the products of artillery firing.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunxi, father and son, got out of the carriage, and slowly walked into the workshop surrounded by officials and craftsmen who had already received news in the workshop in front of them, and the first choice was the rich smell of gunpowder smoke pouring into the nasal cavity.

The smell of sulfur and toner is everywhere.

An official cautiously handed over a thick cotton mask.

Zhu Yunxi explained in a low voice on the side: "There has been research in Tai Hospital, if people breathe these smells for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to the lungs. If this kind of damage lasts for a long time, it can lead to many diseases, the most obvious of which is that it can weaken people's strength. ”

As he spoke, he was already skillful in putting on a mask.

Zhu Biao glanced at it twice, and hung the mask on his ears in the same way.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi looked at the officials present: "Go to the test site and take a look, prepare the new artillery that you have made this time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will see how the good things you have made this time are." ”

Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to personally see the good things they had made this time, the officials and craftsmen present were all overjoyed.

Now no one in the world knows that the current Ministry of Industry Shangshu has gone from a craftsman to his current position.

Zhang Ergong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, can do this, and everyone present will have unlimited possibilities.

Especially those craftsmen who don't have official status, when they saw the prince coming, they heard the prince say that the prince wanted to see it with his own eyes, and their eyes were even more golden.

When I looked at the prince again, it was even more eager than seeing my father.

The minds of the people below have always been either seeking power, fame, or profit.

Zhu Biao saw it in his eyes, but he didn't have any ideas in his heart.

If everyone in the world can pursue meritorious deeds and then exchange them for merit, then he is extremely happy.

Soon the crowd arrived at the test site at the bottom of the mountain.

In this area, in addition to the Ministry of Industry and the people who will be the supervisors, there are also Beijing officers and soldiers and several Jinyi guards present.

The officers and soldiers are responsible for security, and the Jinyi guards are in charge of keeping secrets.

The test scene faces the side of the mountains, without any obstruction, and the road is unimpeded.

And from the test site to the mountain, there are countless potholes visible to the naked eye.

And every once in a while, there will be a cement wall or a masonry wall, with different thicknesses and heights.

Some of the walls are also pitted or even broken, while others are brand new without the slightest trace.

All this is new to Zhu Biao.

Taking advantage of the gap between the officials and the rearrangement of the experiment.

Zhu Yunxi stood beside Zhu Biao and explained in a low voice: "There are tests here almost every day, and different new and old firearms, even those from the beginning of the country, will also be pulled over for testing.

The reason why these two new guns can appear now is also thanks to this continuous experiment, which has enabled the Ministry of Works and the General Supervisor to grasp a huge amount of detailed information.

Originally, the imperial court was short of money and food a few years ago, so many things were done by the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisors. Now that there is no shortage of money and food, these expenses can be afforded.

Although the money and food have been spent, things have also been accomplished, and in general, it will only get better and better. ”

If it was placed in the past, Zhu Biao would definitely ask, this is a daily artillery test, and how much grain will the imperial court spend on it.

But now, Zhu Biao won't even think about it.

Zhu Biao, who is well aware of the current financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, just wants to say it loudly.

What the Ming Dynasty has now is money.

And how to make good use of this silver is a headache.

He even wanted to shout out to the officers and soldiers who were carrying artillery, transporting shells, and cleaning the barrels.

Fuck the fuck to Prince Ben!

At the other end, a general of the artillery battalion asked for instructions, and Zhu Yunxi nodded.

Even though the command sounded.

With the presence of the crown prince himself, the officials and officers and soldiers here exerted all their strength.

Dozens of new light guns were lined up, and the muzzles of the guns were black and hollow towards the mountains ahead.

There were also more than fifty mortars, the barrels of which were stuck diagonally on the ground on the pallets, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed diagonally into the sky.

Zhu Biao, who was introduced by Zhu Yunxi, quickly distinguished these two new artillery.

Looking at these barrels with a metallic surface, Zhu Biao's eyes were full of anticipation.

With the command of the artillery battalion, the order was given.

Dozens of artillery pieces were fired at the same time.

A deafening roar rang out.

The whole world seemed to be completely silent for a moment.

A cloud of dust and smoke kicked up from the ground, and waves of air carried the gravel and gravel and slammed past the legs.

Zhu Biao only felt that his chest was stuffy, and in addition to the initial roar of artillery fire, there was only the clear heartbeat in his ears.

He subconsciously opened his mouth.

Then I saw in my eyes that countless fires rushed towards the mountain in front of me.

Then came a dull roar from the mountain, large swaths of trees were torn apart, and the whole mountain was stirred with rubble on one side, and thick smoke rose from the ground.

"That's a lot of power!"

Zhu Biao shouted at the top of his voice, but he didn't see any movement from his son beside him.

So, he tugged on Zhu Yunxi's arm.

With a face full of pride, Zhu Yunxi turned his head to look at the prince's father.

Zhu Biao pulled his son to himself and said loudly: "This is a sharp weapon of the country!" ”

After affirming a sentence, Zhu Biao was a little curious in his heart.

Obviously, the size of these cannons is smaller than in the past, and the son also said that the power has been weakened a lot.

But I saw it with my own eyes, and I didn't think that the power of this new artillery was much less.

Zhu Yunxi understood the curiosity of the prince's father, and said loudly: "Now that gunpowder and cannonballs have also improved, the power is indeed much greater than in the past, but compared with the power of artillery shells requisitioned in the north...... It's really a lot weaker. ”

Zhu Biao opened his mouth.

Now these new artillery guns that pursue lightness are so powerful, so how powerful should the artillery used in the last northern requisition be now.

Zhu Yunxi just smiled, anyway, he would never say that the Ministry of Works and the people who would be the supervisors were now working on a brand new artillery that only pursued power.

The Ministry of Works and the people who will be the overseers are now working with all their might, vowing to create a cannon and cannonball that can blast the gates of Otenjo Castle open with a single shot.

The gang of officials and craftsmen, who have already embarked on a strange path, have even set a long-term goal.

That is, using the walls of Yingtian City as a template, gathering the power of the world to create a cannon and cannonball that can be bombarded by the walls of Tiancheng with one shot.

No one could once again stop Da Ming from taking the path he was supposed to take.

Especially on the way forward in weapons.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the prince's father who was full of excitement, held the other party's arm, walked to a mortar nearby, and drove away the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion who were standing aside and waiting to carry out the attack order.

Zhu Biao's face showed curiosity.

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Why don't you try it yourself, this new mortar?" ”
