For a whole day, Zhu Di's ears were full of rumbling cannons, earth-shattering, and the sun and moon were dark...... Zhu Di has seen firearms, and he still charges against firearms, and he has never been ambiguous.

But today's firearms made him completely dumbfounded, and the smoke of gunpowder was filled with deafening.

The soldiers skillfully fired in a series of shots, and the artillery roared behind them. Zhu Di asked himself, even if he personally commanded the soldiers and horses, don't think about breaking through the firearms barrier,

And it is very likely that there will be no bones left on the spot.

"Second brother, this firearm is so powerful?"

Zhu Gaoxu said with a stiff face: "Father, the child didn't believe it at first, but when he really practiced it, the child knew that the power of firearms was so terrifying." At the beginning, under Jianwen's command, he had one or two percent of the ability, but I was afraid that our father and son would hate him on the spot. ”

Zhu Di's face turned pale, and he snorted for a while: "What is he?" I don't know how to use it at all, only under my command can have such a powerful firearm. Dick! ”

Zhu Di shouted in a low voice: "Aren't you preparing to develop the coal mine in Yuanzhou Mansion in Jiangxi Province now, and prepare to produce firecrackers?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, "That's what the child wants." It's just that there are too few craftsmen in hand, and the ability is not good. ”

Zhu Di took a breath and said seriously: "Don't worry about this, my father will transfer people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, and prepare a batch of craftsmen for you." Don't worry, if you want money, you want people, and your father only needs an army of 100,000 firearms! Do you understand? ”

"Understood!"

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head hard, and Zhu Di returned to the palace with full emotion.

As soon as he left, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he looked back at Xu Jingchang, who was smiling, and hurriedly came over.

"I said cousin, you almost scared me to death just now, you really dare to come up with any idea!"

Xu Jingchang's face sank instantly, "King Han, what are you talking about?" How did I not know? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was dumbfounded, don't you know? Do you have the face to say you don't know?

The artillery is not powerful enough, and you let the gunpowder be buried in advance, and you didn't do this?

Do you dare to tell me you don't know?

"Cousin, do you want to stay out of it?"

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "I'm not in the middle of the matter...... The military exercise was done by Qiu Fu, the governor of the five armies, the firearms were made by you, and the soldiers were also forbidden to the army, so they had nothing to do with Jinyiwei. You're going to get involved with me...... Do you have black and white? ”

Han King Zhu Gaochu was speechless for an instant, Xu Jingchang was smiling, and patted Zhu Gaoxu's shoulder meaningfully, you are still a little tender.

When doing things in the court, at a critical time, there must be black and white words and a record.

If you leave a credential, you will leave a handle, in other words, if you don't have a credential, you will be framing the important ministers of the court.

Xu Jingchang can't help it, he needs to make Zhu Di firm up his confidence and develop firearms, and he also knows very well that firearms are the direction of the future.

The only problem is that the current firearms are still a little bit meaningless, and they need to add some materials to improve their power and make Zhu Di firm in his confidence.

Of course, if something goes wrong, he is not responsible.

What, you said to frame the King of Han?

Which eye saw it?

And in line with the principle that whoever makes the most profit is the culprit, Zhu Gaoxu's next firearms business, he makes a lot of money, and the black hand behind it must be him.

Anyway, our Dingguo Gong is clean.

This is a matter of lifting weights lightly, and between talking and laughing, it becomes a big thing.

Xu Jingchang was elated and returned to the mansion, and today's Xu Mansion has a few more guests.

Or a distant passenger from Yunnan.

The person who came was Xiping Hou Musheng.

It was very interesting for him to come to Xu Mansion, Mu Sheng's brother is Mu Chun, the son of Mu Ying, and their relationship is about Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun 100,000...... Two generations of father and brother spelled the title of Marquis of Xiping for the Mu family, and hereditarily guarded Yunnan.

Now that it is in the hands of Mu Sheng, it is natural to expand the foundation and make the Mu family go to the next level.

So what did he do at the Xu family?

The reason is also very simple, Mu Sheng's sister was married to Xu Zengshou, that is, Xu Jingchang's mother, and Xu Jingchang still called Mu Sheng an uncle.

This is the intricate relationship between the nobles.

Why did Xu Zengshou send a letter to his brother-in-law Zhu Di, but Zhu Yunwen didn't find out at first, and didn't kill Xu Zengshou until the end?

Of course, from Queen Xu's side, Xu Zengshou wants to go to Zhu Di and his brother-in-law...... But Xu Zengshou's wife is from the Mu family, and the Mu family is a die-hard supporter of Zhu Biao, if you must doubt Xu Zengshou, you are not afraid of chilling other people's hearts?

You've got me, I've got you!

This is the horror of the Xungui group...... In the face of this intertwined and powerful group, you really don't have much to do.

In addition to raising the butcher's knife like Zhu Yuanzhang and killing them, they can only let them grow savagely and control the power of the court.

In fact, is the Mu family really that simple?

Not really.

Mu Ying's original wife was the daughter of Feng Guoyong, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, was his uncle-in-law, and Feng Sheng's daughter, one married Zheng Guo Changmao, and the other married Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou.

Chang Mao is the eldest son of Chang Yuchun, and the elder brother of Zhu Biao's princess Chang, Zhu Hu is Zhu Di's good brother and has the deepest feelings...... Therefore, the complexity of Xungui's net far exceeds the imagination of outsiders.

The in-law relationship alone can stun the vast majority of people.

Don't jump to conclusions about which end they are.

Xu Jingchang saw Mu Sheng, with a smile on his face, and after the salute, he asked him to sit down.

Mu Sheng smiled on his face, "Dingguo Gong, is the peacock I asked someone to send over some time ago still fun?" ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Okay, it's fun!" Xianzhong, that stinky boy is always chasing and playing. ”

Mu Sheng smiled: "This is a good thing, people say that Tao girls are clever, and Tao boys are good." I'll send a few more when I get back. There are not many other animals in Yunnan, rare and exotic beasts, as many as you want. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, "There is Uncle Lao." ”

Mu Sheng waved his hand again and again, "With a lot of effort, I entered Beijing this time, firstly, I came to congratulate, and secondly, I also wanted to ask for advice, the court sent Zhang Futun soldiers in front of the court, which meant to target Annan, is it a plan to use soldiers?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "There are also and there are none." ”

Mu Sheng was surprised, he tried to lean over and said, "Isn't it hard to say?" ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's really hard to say, whether to fight or not, how to fight, it has not been determined." The current court is like a person going to eat a big feast, chewing a ...... in his mouth Wa country, chopsticks with a ...... Harry, eyes still on a ...... Annan! It takes a lot of effort to eat all three of them. ”

Mu Sheng groaned slightly, understood what Xu Jingchang meant, and dared to love Annan not to be the first priority, not even the second.

Mu Sheng originally wanted to take the opportunity of using soldiers to make some military achievements and take a step forward, but now it seems that it is not so easy.

"Dingguo Gong, what should Yunnan do next?" Mu Sheng sighed: "I heard that the Duke of Cao sent an envoy to Liaodong, and the Duke of Chengguo supervised the army to crusade against the Japanese Invaders...... The big guys have something to do, and we can't be idle. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be willing to use troops abroad...... But it doesn't have to be really large-scale, the whale can't swallow it, and it's okay to gradually encroach. ”

Mu Sheng's eyes lit up, but he groaned again.

"This private use of soldiers, will there be a problem of opening border provocations without authorization? In case the court investigates and says that we have ill intentions, what should we do about this matter? ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Uncle, then don't use soldiers!" ”

"No soldiers? So, how can the whale swallow it? ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "There is no such thing, it is not a soldier and horse of the imperial court, but it has a certain combat power and can deal with other tribes?" ”

Mu Sheng chatted with Xu Jingchang for the first time, and he only felt that this person was really worthy of being a product of the dynasty, and he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"I also hope that the Duke of Dingguo will say it clearly."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "The very simple truth is to organize some people to act as militia, let them expand their territory in front, and the imperial court will follow." ”

Mu Sheng's eyebrows twitched, and then he smiled bitterly, "Dingguo Gong, you may not know that those Tusi tribes are not easy to bully, they are very fierce and familiar with the terrain. Even if you send elites, you must be careful, if it is ordinary people, even if they are given weapons and armor, they are definitely not the opponents of Tusi, and if you send people over, you will only suffer heavy casualties! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled again, "That's a good thing, but as far as I know, what Mufu is best at is using firearms." Firearms, on the other hand, do not require much rigorous training, are easy to get started, and are incredibly powerful, which is a sharp weapon for dealing with toast. ”

After listening to Xu Jingchang this time, Mu Sheng was even more embarrassed.

"Dingguo Gong, we don't hide it, we really don't lack firearms, but firearms are the sharp weapons of the country, and there are still insufficient in the army, especially the best firearms, which are even rarer. Each firearm should be used with care and should not be damaged at leisure. If you take it out casually and give it to the people to use, I'm afraid that the court won't agree. ”

When Xu Jingchang heard this, he nodded, "Okay, I know about this, my uncle will rest with me first, recover his spirit, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later." ”

Mu Sheng agreed and stayed in Xu's Mansion.

One day, two days, and on the third day, Mu Sheng finished breakfast, opened the newspaper, and immediately saw an important news.

For the border people, the imperial court was ready to give the power to use firearms, the nine borders, the sea frontier, the southwest...... Ordinary people who are facing personal safety can apply to the imperial court, and a register must be made, and the firearms obtained must be numbered.

After possessing a firearm, if you use a firearm in a dispute with the people of the Ming Dynasty, you will be severely punished immediately. Secondly, these firearms have a limited scope, and if they leave the border state capital with a firearm, they will also be severely punished, and they will be killed without a suitable reason.

As for some people who are in the border areas and lack money, they can apply to the imperial court for rent, as long as they return the firearms within the agreed number of years.

Mu Sheng looked at this series of detailed regulations and was dumbfounded...... It is not difficult to grant firearms, but within three days, such a detailed regulation was drawn up and publicly announced, and the authority of his nephew was really a bit scary.
