Zhu Bai sent the fire gun to Lan Yu, and the matter of them did not attract anyone's attention in the imperial court.

After all, it has been more than ten years since the founding of the dynasty, and there has not been a year without war.

The civilian officials didn't care at all what weapons these generals used, how hard they fought, and they only cared about whether they lost or won.

Only Liu Bowen was worried: Zhu Bai was testing his weapon.

When the test is done, it will be mass-produced.

Zhu Bai has obtained the freedom to use copper by minting money, and now there is a shortage of iron and coal.

When he gets these two things, no one in the world will be able to stop him.

-----

Everyone went out to war.

Zhu Wenzheng still sat on the cold bench.

When Lao Zhu asked them to teach a few princes to ride and shoot competitions, he thought that Lao Zhu was going to use him again.

As a result, there was no movement for several years.

He's in his early forties, and if he waits any longer, he'll be really old......

He was depressed and drank himself in the backyard that day.

I think that he sat in a lonely city in the defense of Hongdu and fought alone, but he blocked the attack of Chen Youliang's 600,000-strong army for Lao Zhu. But Lao Zhu only praised him a few words hastily, and there was neither a reward nor a title.

Others, by contrast, are blessed with great grace and rewards.

This is not fair, he is still Lao Zhu's own nephew.

He was dizzy, and angrily asked someone to contact Zhang Shicheng, which also meant to tell Lao Zhu: There is no place to keep a master here.

But before Zhang Shicheng could reply, he was killed by Lao Zhu.

As a result, he, who was unlucky, did not have the reality of rebellion, but got the name of rebellion.

Lao Zhu later scolded him, seized his military power, and locked him up.

Fortunately, when the Ming Dynasty was established, the world granted amnesty, and Lao Zhu released him again.

Although it was released, Lao Zhu seemed to have completely forgotten him.

He is also a member of the Zhu family, and Lao Zhu has made all his cousins kings, why not seal him?

made his father Zhu Xinglong, who had died a long time ago, the king of Nanchang, a fart.

Wine into the sorrow, the intestines are even more sorrowful. Zhu Wenzheng drank several jars of wine, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he danced a big knife alone in the backyard.

The servant timidly came to report and said, "Master Hu Weiyong and Master Hu personally sent some vegetables. I'll be waiting in the front room. ”

"I have nothing to do with Hu Weiyong, this bastard doesn't know what vegetables to send." Zhu Wenzheng muttered drunkenly, waving his hand at the servant, "Just take some snacks as a return gift." Let's just say I'm not at home. ”

The servant hurriedly went out, and after a while he came back with a letter in his hand: "Master Hu asked the villain to hand over this letter to you." ”

Tsk, it's not over yet, it's not annoying.

Zhu Wenzheng took the letter, glanced at it, and saw the first line of words on it, and instantly woke up: His Royal Highness the King of Nanchang, Weichen has long admired Hongcai, and took the liberty to write a book to seek teachings.

Hey, what does this Hu Weiyong mean?

Are you sarcastic about me?

When did I get the title of King of Nanchang?!!

-----

When Kang Duo arrived in Changsha, the first thing he did was to visit Hu Mei with Yingtian's specialties.

His questioning of Zhu Bai and his visit to Hu Mei were all deliberate before acting.

The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Although Chenzhou is under the jurisdiction of the Huguangbu Political Division, it is too far away from Jingzhou and closer to Changsha.

Lao Zhu let Hu Mei, a veteran, and Changsha's elite soldiers not use, but asked Kangduo Shan Changshui to come from Yingtian to quell the chaos, because he wanted to investigate and train him.

But I don't know if Hu Mei will have a pimple in her heart?

Hu Mei is an old senior, and he is even better at fighting and governing the city, and his art of war strategy is much stronger than that of him, a rookie.

In case Hu Mei was unhappy with him, Zhu Bai cooperated in the court. Then not only will he put down the rebellion, don't think about making meritorious contributions, but if he doesn't do it, he will be confused and put his life here.

When they studied with Zhu Biao before, they felt that they were the pride of the sky, the pillars of the future, and their eyes were empty.

As a result, Zhu Bai, this kid, didn't know when he came out, and "Papapa" slapped everyone in their group of "second generation heroes" in the face.

Fortunately, he has always been relatively low-key, so he was not taught by Zhu Bai, and now he has this rare opportunity.

This may also be his only chance to become the minister of Zhu Biao's humerus, and he must take advantage of it.

So it is necessary to visit Hu Mei!!

When Hu Mei saw Kang Duo coming, she couldn't help but sigh like Zhu Bai: This kid is so smart, just like his old man.

Kang Maocai was the smartest and smoothest among them back then, but unfortunately Hongwu died in three years.

Otherwise, the Kang family would be much more prominent than it is now.

It was not unassuming that Condor, an old friend of his father, had come to visit.

Hu Mei naturally received him as an elder.

After sitting down, Hu Mei looked at Kang Duo and sighed: "Time flies so fast, I didn't expect you to grow so big." The last time I saw you was eight years ago. ”

Condor's heart trembled.

That was at the funeral of his father Kang Maocai.

He was only ten years old when his father died, and he didn't quite understand what his father's sudden death meant.

Mother said: The sky has fallen, and he will be the man of the family from now on, and he will be the heaven of the family.

Although he inherited his father's Qi Chunhou, he also inherited an empty and big family.

His father left him two little sisters, two younger brothers and three younger sisters.

This large family, women, children, and children all rely on him, the marquis of Qi Chun, to support them.

So he looked at the glory and wealth, but he lived a much more trembling and cautious life than Xu Zuhui and Chang Mao, who were also the "second generation of meritorious heroes".

At a very young age, he learned to read words and emotions and judge the situation.

Because he understands that he cannot afford to make a mistake without his father's protection.

Condor's eyes lowered, hiding the sourness at the corners of his eyes, and arched his hand to Hu Mei: "Uncle Domon Hu's thoughts." ”

Hu Mei nodded slightly, and whispered: "The emperor told you to fight Chenzhou, so you will let it go." The king of Xiang has written to me to assist you with all my might, and you must put down the rebellion as soon as possible. ”

In fact, Zhu Bai's original words were: I will take care of this land in the future, and it will be troublesome for someone to rebel at every turn. This time, Lao Zhu sent people to fight, which was much less laborious than fighting ourselves, so it was necessary for foreign official business to give money to people and ask people to give people, and make every effort to assist, and strive to subdue those dishonest people this time.

Hu Mei agreed with Zhu Bai and sighed: "My grandson is so smart and wise. Isn't that what happened? ”

Everyone thought that he would be angry and resentful, but in fact, Lao Zhu sent people to quell the chaos, and he couldn't ask for it.

Kang Duo was stunned, but he didn't expect that his careful thoughts had been clearly seen by Zhu Bai and Hu Mei.

But why, why did Zhu Bai help him?

In fact, they have nothing to do with each other.

In the final analysis, he is a princeling and should be Zhu Bai's enemy.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, this is Lord Hu's territory. ”

Hu Mei said lightly: "The emperor asked me to stay in Changsha. ”

Lao Zhu's holy decree back then really said so.

It can be understood that Lao Zhu entrusted Changsha to Hu Mei; It can also be understood that Lao Zhu used Changsha as a prison cell and locked Hu Mei here.
