Zhu Gaoxu was satisfied and asked the guards to bring a share to the Han Palace, and he carried chicken soup to offer hospitality, saying that he boiled it and brought himself a filial piety hat.

Seeing that Zhu Di was not there, Zhu Gaoxu was a little disappointed, how could this kind of good thing of boiling chicken soup not be seen by the old man, so that he would not enter the palace in vain.

Tang Zhong in his hand wrapped a few layers of cotton cloth, and it was still warm, and Queen Xu saw Zhu Gaoxu come in with a soup cup, and said in surprise: "Gao Xu, you didn't go to the school field of the Shenji Camp?" ”

"Queen Mother, the sons will go later."

Sitting next to Queen Xu, Xianning, who was clumsy and embroidering a peace bag, many people in Beijing would make a peace bag for their own families, especially let the female officials in the palace teach themselves.

She embroidered very seriously.

Zhu Gaoxu put down the soup cup and gave it to the palace maid, secretly walked behind Xianning, and when he saw her clumsy appearance, he directly snatched it and was happy: "You embroidered the Yuan character?" I look like a caterpillar crawling.

"Also, the embroidery is not as good as mine, I started the needle from this side when I embroidered, and called out to the second brother, how about my brother help you embroider."

Xianning was startled, and looked at Queen Xu angrily: "Queen Mother, look at him~"

Empress Xu turned around, looked at her restless cub, and said angrily: "Gao Xu, don't hinder your sister, she has a needle in her hand, how to prick her hand." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "I had dinner in the Guogong Mansion in the morning, and I felt that the chicken soup that Cheng Yuan drank was good, so I personally cooked it for you, and I just saw her embroidering caterpillars." ”

said and began to complain about his sister-in-law: "Look at her simple and can't embroider, embroidered the same as the old man's embroidery, clumsy, embroidered a unicorn embroidered into a sick cat and a sick tiger, I really can't stand it." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said, "You know that the line you used is wrong, Princess Han taught me a good method, bring it to my brother to show you." ”

He couldn't help but say, snatched himself from Xianning's hand, and taught him well: "Do you see it, do you see how to embroider, let you not learn it at the beginning, I will see the queen mother and they will embroider once, Hanzi." ”

Xianning couldn't help but get angry, and snatched it over and said, "I gave it to Cheng Yuan, and I won't give it to you, anyway, Cheng Yuan said that he didn't dislike it." ”

Zhu Gaoxu's tears of laughter came out, and he felt that he had heard the biggest joke, and said, "How about you don't comfort yourself?" Cheng Yuan said that you embroidered the eagle into a chicken, which is very ugly, and the tiger embroidered into a sick cat. ”

Xianning was silent, she stopped and glanced at Zhu Gaoxu: "You talk nonsense, he won't, you are a troublemaker." ”

"Then you go home and ask him." Zhu Gaoxu said.

Empress Xu reprimanded: "Gao Xu, you are looking forward to your sister-in-law's bad life, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu only thought it was a joke, and on weekdays, several of them laughed at her embroidery skills, and she would just make trouble for a while.

Didn't think much about it at all.

He just told the truth today, so he didn't worry that his sister would care about this, after all, she was not the kind of sentimental person.

Empress Xu still wanted to reprimand Zhu Gaoxu, but the palace maid handed over the chicken soup, and after she tasted it a few bites, she knew that it was the taste of the Guogong Mansion, fragrant but not greasy.

The palace maids carefully filled the bowl and handed it to Xianning.

"It tastes good, Cheng Yuan really has a lot of good things there, obviously he is a military general who is in trouble with your father, but he also knows farming, and he does it so well, even the cooks in the house are well chosen, you two sisters are blessed."

"If you want to have a small half of Gao Sui's success, the queen mother is very happy."

Empress Xu said strangely: "But you went to Cheng Yuan and came back, how do you look like a different person, this is not like you." ”

…………

There are two artillery pieces in the school yard of the Shenji Battalion, more than a dozen firearms, black pressure in the distance, and red cherry blossoms, all of which are Shenji Battalion in charge of firearms.

At the beginning, Zhu Di hit it off with Cheng Yuan about firearms.

Cheng Yuan was very worried about this, because Emperor Yongle had experience in warfare, he knew the power of firearms, and he had also suffered losses from firearms when Fengtian was in trouble.

As long as he dials it slightly, Zhu Di can be 80% willing to invest in firearms.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Baoyuan Bureau, which was established in the Yuan Dynasty to manufacture copper coins, received orders to undertake the production of firecrackers and artillery.

Baoyuan Bureau Grocery Manufacturer". In addition to the original copper coins and new firearms, incense burners, incense boxes, silver basins, jugs and other treasures are all manufactured.

Therefore, with the increase in the demand for firearms and the improvement of the quality requirements for firearms, the imperial court began to set up an ordnance bureau and a military war bureau specializing in the manufacture of weapons in the thirteenth year of Hongwu.

The Ordnance Bureau mainly produces cold weapons such as bows, knives, and armor.

After Cheng Yuan's suggestion, Zhu Di also turned the Armament Bureau into an important firearms manufacturer. Every two years, a new batch of firearms must be produced to meet the needs of the army.

Needless to say, its role is to control firearms.

Trains, Umbrellas, Generals, Second Generals, Third Generals, Conquering Generals, Chopping Horses, Tsunakou Guns, Swarm of Bees, Xiangyang Cannons, Letter Cannons, Zhankou Cannons, Whirlwind Copper Cannons, Cannons in the Cannons, Four-Eyed Iron Guns, Central Target Iron Pistols......

They are all prepared by the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to overseeing the manufacture of firearms, the Bureau of Military Affairs is also responsible for inventing or experimenting with new types of firearms.

In order to qualify for mass production of new firearms invented by the local government, it is also necessary to experiment and make decisions by the War Bureau, which has led the manufacture of a large number of advanced firearms.

Firearms are well made, they have to be used, and they have to be used by special people.

This was handed over to the Shenji Battalion, and the firearms armament rate of the Shenji Battalion has now reached 30 to 40 percent.

In the later part of the Yongle Year in history, after experiencing the exchange of troops, the imperial court set up the Shenji Battalion. With artillery as the core, the internal defense of the Beijing division, the external preparation of the battle, the siege and the defense of the city in the war of great meritorious, can be called the Ming Dynasty firearms use of a typical model.

It's just that the arrival of Cheng Yuan has made it develop earlier, more organized, and faster.

The cost of firearm maintenance is not low, but the sufficient treasury left by Hongwu, and even the production and business of the people in recent years, have been thriving, as long as there is enough time, it can be.

The southern school field does not have the scene of the yellow sand blowing thousands of miles in the northern school field, and the late spring and early summer are the best time of the year when it is neither hot nor cold.

Zhang Yu pointed to the two artillery pieces in the distance and said, "It's those two divine cannons, which are ready." ”

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the lighter artillery, the Shengong car cannon, weighed one or two hundred catties, and the maximum firing range could reach three to four miles.

Heavier artillery, such as the general's cannon, can weigh up to three or four hundred catties.

Historically, the artillery range of the Ming Dynasty reached more than 2,000 meters, which is extremely probable, and the Hongyi cannon had a maximum range of 1,500 meters.

Therefore, all kinds of firearms that the Shenji Battalion has now are rudimentary, and there will be more firearms in the future.

It would be a pity that the Han family's firearms could not be turned into cold weapons in the end.

"My Shenji Battalion is all prepared by Mobei, and when the time comes, I will use firearms to sweep Mobei."

Zhu Gaochi said: "Zhanji and Zhengqing." ”

Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui said beside him: "They made a fuss just now, I gave a cotton bag to play." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Your Majesty, the little emperor and the little grandfather are over there, today the big camp roasted mutton, the two of them went to play nearby with a small cloth bag, I saw them over there just now." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Is it a small square, like a quilt?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "How does Zhen Guogong know." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "That is the explosives package that I and the prince newly researched last month, the shape is still drawn by me, and it is gunpowder inside." ”

For all industries that rely on manual Daming, the kind of TNT can not be studied, so the kraft oil paper protects the shell to prevent rain, and the inside is wrapped in cotton cloth, which is square and strong.

It's just that many materials are not enough nowadays, and some are very rough.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaosui and said, "Who asked you to give it to them." ”

Zhu Gaosui said: "Erchen didn't mean it, it's Zhan Ji who is too noisy." ”
