283. There is rain in the capital

Zhu Di said: "The lightning and thunder roared, and it was really said by Qin Tianjian." ”

The biggest thing in Qin Tianjian recently is to see whether there is rain in this year's spring ploughing, saying that there will be lightning and thunder today, but in fact, it has been gloomy for many days, and there will be thunder and lightning without rain.

It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil, and it is very important for the people who are waiting for spring ploughing this year.

When Zhu Di saw the rain, he was also relieved.

He was afraid that there would be another drought, and at that time, there would be officials who accused him of being unorthodox and talking about things, writing a literati, and killing people without seeing blood.

Zhu Di can't wait to prove that he is the most correct monarch of the Ming Dynasty, and use it to wash away his reputation as a "traitor".

……

The rain is dripping, and Yingtian has always been like this, even in later generations, when it rains, the historical atmosphere of the capital is spread around.

For the proud, the prosperous place of Yingtian is very addictive, and for the frustrated, it is only more difficult.

Yingtian Street, on the north side of Chongli Street, near Qintianjian there is a Zhumen white-walled government office.

There is no plaque on the government office, and the door posts on both sides are painted in ink, showing a solemn momentum that is different from the ordinary government office.

This place is the Zhenfu Division of the Jinyi Guard of Yingtianfu.

Specially report to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and do not hang plaques or book cards.

But the status of officialdom is very transcendent.

Ji Gang wore a cloak and a hat, and strode into the Zhenfu Division, and the guards at the door immediately came up to greet him, and entered the back hall one after the other.

When the lights are lit, the spring thunder rolls, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and there are few thunders and lightning in spring, but this year is a little different.

Ji Gang was sent out by several people, and soon disappeared in the lightning and thunder on horseback.

For Ji Gang and Zhu Gaosui, it was an excellent day.

Zhu Bai poked his head out of the carriage, these days in addition to taking care of a few shops, he also had to come to the Dabao'en Temple construction site to inspect and inspect for Chengyuan.

However, when he arrived at the construction site of Bao'en Temple, he suddenly saw a slender figure, so he cleared his throat and shouted: "Miss Xu." ”

Xu Miaojin had just helped the Ministry of Labor put away the wood and lacquer cans, and she was so busy that she was soaking wet, and she was about to leave to go back to the study, when she suddenly heard a man's voice.

The voice was majestic and familiar.

She turned her head with an umbrella, and when she saw that it was Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, she was so frightened that she almost threw the umbrella away.

"Why is Miss Xu frightened?"

Looking at Xu Miaojin with a panicked face, Zhu Bai was a little puzzled.

Xu Miaojin just thought that Cheng Yuan was not in the capital today, and he was afraid that something would go wrong at the construction site of Dabao'en Temple, and the people in the Ministry of Engineering would not care, so he ran to take a look by himself, and he didn't want to bump into Zhu Bai.

She was worried that Zhu Bai would ask, after all, her relationship with Cheng Yuan needed to be avoided, otherwise how could she explain that she, as an aunt, came to care about Cheng Yuan's Bao'en Temple.

It couldn't be her turn, but she was sent by a ghost.

Zhu Bai didn't think about it elsewhere, and said: "It's raining and thundering, let these men do it here, and this king can help Cheng Yuan watch it." ”

"Well, there is His Royal Highness King Lao Xiang." After Xu Miaojin finished speaking, she held an umbrella and disappeared into the rain.

Zhu Bai led people to check whether the precious wood on the construction site was covered, and the murals painted by the painters were also covered with rain cloths, so he was relieved.

The rain became heavier and heavier, accompanied by more powerful lightning and thunder, Zhu Bai got into the carriage, and when he turned around, he saw a figure in the rain in the distance hurrying by.

At this time, it was dark and raining, and there should be no craftsmen on the construction site, who knew that there were still craftsmen inside.

Zhu Bai immediately asked, "Why are there still people?" They are not allowed to stay alone. ”

Cheng Yuan told him when he left, he remembered, and subconsciously felt that he had to be more careful in everything these days.

The official of the Ministry of Industry said: "It should be a craftsman who went to move the wood, the prince quickly entered the carriage to hide from the rain, and sent the prince out of the construction site." ”

While entering the carriage, Zhu Bai instructed: "Today's lightning and thunder, such a heavy rain, the sky is dark again, craftsmen are not allowed to enter at will, all such situations in the future will be arrested." ”

Officials from the Ministry of Industry agreed.

However, before the carriage had gone far, a bolt of lightning slashed straight down in the night, and it turned strangely in the air, and slashed into the top of the newly built main hall of Dabao'en Temple, making a loud noise.

Zhu Bai immediately poked his head out, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry and the guards of the Xiangwang Mansion glanced at each other, and at the same time ran towards the main hall of Dabao'en Temple.

As soon as I entered the courtyard of the main hall, I saw that two freshly transplanted pine trees in the main hall had been chopped, and one of them had been split in two and was on fire.

Thunder rumbled, and electric light flickered in the clouds.

"Lord Wang, the beam of the main hall is on fire." The Ministry of Works official shouted, pointing to the main hall with billowing smoke.

Then there was another thunderbolt, and Zhu Bai was so frightened that he immediately got into the carriage.

Who knows, the thunder and lightning went straight down again, turned a corner over the main hall, and struck a corner of the main hall of the Great Bao'en Temple.

The tiles and wood crackled and fell.

When the guards of the Xiangwang Mansion saw it, they reacted extremely quickly.

Zhu Bai had palpitations.

Someone exclaimed: "Lord Wang, the thunder and lightning have struck the southeast corner of the main hall again, leave quickly." ”

At one moment, thunder and lightning were blowing, and the fire in the main hall of Dabao'en Temple had already burned, and the air was filled with the smell of scorched earth and scorched wood.

The panicked figures of the craftsmen, as well as the voices of exclamation, were pale, overwhelmed, and helpless.

There is rain in the capital, but the wind and sun are beautiful on this side of Chaohu Lake.

Early in the morning of the second day.

Cheng Yuan got up early and talked to Yu Zheng about the treasure ship and the reconstruction of the fleet, which made Yu Zheng, who thought he knew the most about ships, surprised and sighed.

In the face of various ship reconstructions and ideas, as well as Cheng Yuan's combination of shipbuilding books from the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, the two of them could not finish talking about several big baskets.

The second and third rooms stared dryly, but they didn't dare to do anything to Zhu Di's son-in-law, but they just kept saying something in front of the big room water master.

Even Yu Tongyuan's son Yu Jing directly threatened that if the anti-Japanese guards one day surpassed the Chaohu Water Division, then he would go and eat the feces of the Yu family's thatched house.

For Yu Jing's threat, Cheng Yuan was stunned when he heard it, and directly replied to Yu Jing's words, asking him not to grab fertilizer with the farmland, so as not to eat it.

Yu Zheng asked Cheng Yuan why he took a fancy to Changfang.

Cheng Yuan only said that he had his own reasoning, which was actually his special gain.

Because of the fact that Yu Zheng's family was in business, he had spare money and innovated fleet tactics, but he failed, and the reason for the failure was that Yu Zheng's tactics were aimed at the sea, dealing with various rivers and seas, as well as enemies at sea.

But this is Chaohu Lake, Chaohu Lake has its natural advantages, but it also has constraints on Chaohu Lake sailors, Yu Zheng uses marine tactics to compete on the lake every time, and it is strange not to lose.

Every time Yu Zheng fails, it's not that he's bad, it's that the second and third rooms are familiar with his grandchildren, and they know what to do with every move.

Moreover, Chaohu Lake is divided into three rooms, and the water area of each room is very narrow, and Yu Zheng's newly modified big boat cannot exert its maximum power in the narrow space.

Yu Zheng's roundabout outflanking tactics were useless.

In addition, he delved into the modification of ships, as well as the mobility and armament of large ships, and neglected to abandon the armed combat of the Nagafang Naval Division.

In addition, Yu Zheng's confidence was suppressed, so failure is a common thing.

This is like an advanced military, which is not necessarily advanced and powerful, and must refer to the current environment and conditions.

Sometimes, it's more important to be suitable than advanced.

Yu Zheng's fleet is advanced, and it is not suitable for the waters of Chaohu Lake, but only for the ocean. Although the two-bedroom and three-bedroom fleet is not advanced, it is suitable for Chaohu Lake.

The reasons for success or failure, Cheng Yuan has already analyzed them in the past few days.

Yu Zheng looked at Cheng Yuan and said respectfully: "Thank you Zhenguo Gong for solving doubts and discussing in the past few days, I have benefited a lot, and the long house has also been able to raise its head in the family." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "No thanks, helping you is also helping myself, but also helping the court, Cheng is just, the Lu of the king, the matter of loyalty." ”

Yu Zheng nodded, and was still talking, Shi Kai hurriedly came over, presented the imperial court emergency report, and briefly said that Dabao'en Temple was struck by lightning and caught fire.

"Return to Beijing immediately." Cheng Yuan quickly made a decision.

Yu Zheng said: "I will also clean up and return to Beijing with Guogong." ”
