In the end, Zhu Di did not send someone to the Ordnance Bureau to inform Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, but asked Guo An to be in the palace and directly use the paper in the palace to draw the drawings of the steel knife.

Then, he directly sent an attendant to send Guo An to the Ordnance Bureau.

Wearing a dark linen coat and standing in front of a strange machine, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, who didn't know what to study, couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Guo An who appeared in front of them.

Immediately, he saluted with surprise on his face.

"Teacher?"

"It's us!"

Guo An nodded slightly.

On the side, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, who was following Guo An, shrank his eyes.

The two deputy envoys in front of him are actually the disciples of Dinghai Hou?

Then why did you come to the Ordnance Bureau as a small deputy envoy and concentrate so much on the study of these artifacts?

He shouldn't have embarrassed these two in the past few days, right?

Tao Yiping hurriedly rubbed his hand on his body a few times casually, and asked, "I don't know if the teacher is here, but he is specifically looking for the two of us?" ”

"Hmm!"

Guo An nodded again, "Let's wait for you to transform the musket!" ”

"Modified muskets?"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting's eyes suddenly widened, full of anticipation.

"Teacher, I don't know how to transform?"

Guo An took out the drawing and handed it to Tao Yiping.

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting hurriedly looked at it.

On the drawings, Guo An drew very carefully, the handle of the bayonet, the dragon head, the dragon tail, as well as the fixed holes and fixed grooves, and the scabbard......

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, who were very familiar with the musket, also immediately understood how to install this one-foot-seven-inch-long bayonet.

After reading it, Tao Yiping couldn't help but ask tentatively again: "Teacher, is it just to install a bayonet on the musket?" ”

Guo An asked lightly: "Is it possible, can you still improve the performance and structure of the musket?" ”

Tao Yiping hurriedly sneered, "Teacher, I don't have that ability!" ”

Guo An glanced at it and urged: "Then make this steel knife for us honestly, after the manufacturing is completed, Your Majesty will personally test it!" ”

"Your Majesty personally tested?"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting were taken aback and nodded again and again.

"Teacher, don't worry, just give me three days, and I can forge it!"

Guo An said: "At least three pieces have been forged!" ”

"Three?"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Five days for the two of you!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

“……”

When Guo An left, Yu Xineng, the ambassador of the Ordnance Bureau, came up.

"Yiping, Yang Ting, is that Dinghai Marquis really your teacher?"

"I'm the two of you!"

Tao Yiping glanced at it with some doubts, the boss in front of him who suddenly became humble, although the teacher was the Hou Ye, he was not on duty in the Ministry of Engineering, and he couldn't manage the Ordnance Bureau!

Yu Xineng hurriedly said, "Oh...... Hey, since Dinghaihou is two teachers, why do they have to work so hard to do these dirty jobs?

Go to the public house and rest, and leave the work to them! ”

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting slowly refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but these jobs are ordered by the teacher, and Your Majesty is waiting!" ”

"I don't dare to delay time!"

Yu Xi laughed dryly, and hurriedly said: "Look at this official's brain, it's really nonsense...... Your Majesty and the Hou Ye matter matter, if you two need anything, just tell me directly!

I will definitely support ......"

"Thank you, Ambassador!"

……

West.

In the Shenji Camp, two days after Guo An left.

The two internal officials in charge of logistics sent by Zhu Di entered the Shenji Battalion and brought 200,000 taels of silver.

In addition, there are fifty masters who have been recruited.

The rest of the masters will continue to come in one after another!

Liu Sheng announced a new training system for the Shenji Battalion.

"Twenty pounds a day, ten miles of running with weight!"

"But, eat meat for three days!"

"Every day, practice throwing grenades fifty times!"

"Set aside half a day every day to learn literacy and academic ......"

"The whole army is assessed once every half month, and the small flag with the best results is selected and rewarded.

Pick out the flag with the worst results and punish it.

Those who are excellent will eat meat, and those with poor grades will be cut off from meat for five days, and those with good grades will be washed for half a day......"

Below, all the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion suddenly changed their faces.

Even, even the commanders of the various armies twitched the corners of their mouths when they listened.

"Commander, how does this work?"

"Yes, Commander, why do you have to do laundry for those who have good grades? How can we agree to such a humiliation? ”

"Humph!"

Liu Sheng snorted coldly and looked at the angry generals with a gloomy face.

"This rule is set by the Hou Ye, and there must be no changes!"

"Why are you waiting for the elite of each army to boast of being the elite of each army?"

"Master Hou invited so much silver from His Majesty for you, a meal of meat for three days, and a special master in charge of teaching, why aren't you satisfied?

Hou Ye said, if you can't learn, leave the Shenji camp as soon as possible and go to the 5,000 camp to stay, the Shenji camp will not raise useless people!

Wait one by one, don't think about occupying the pit and not......"

"Rest assured, the last general and others are men with a pound of meat, and there is a special master to teach, how can such a fairy-like day be cowardly?"

"Exactly!"

"There is no misseed in our Chinese army!"

"I will never be ...... left"

"I'm ...... right"

"I'm ...... left"

With a few generals from Yanshanwei taking the lead, the entire Shenji Battalion was full of momentum.

Even if there were a few people who were still sensible, they could only smile bitterly in their hearts, their eyes widened, and shouted at the soldiers on the side.

are all men with handles, who is afraid of whom?

……

Five days later.

Someone came from the palace, and Zhu Di summoned Guo An into the palace.

Guo Anxin had already guessed, and hurriedly followed the eunuch into the palace.

Really.

When Guo An entered the Fengtian Palace, he saw Zhu Di standing in the hall with a musket with a bayonet, stabbing one by one.

The bayonet in front of the musket was shining with cold light, and with the swing of Zhu Di's handle, it made people chill when they looked at it.

However, the faces of the people in the hall were full of joy.

After Guo An came in, he saluted Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi respectfully.

"Weichen Guo An has seen His Majesty and seen His Highness!"

"Hahaha, Guo Qing, hurry up and be polite!"

Zhu Di greeted Guo An and asked, "Guo Qing, we didn't expect that such a bayonet on the musket would have such a miraculous effect!" ”

"Your Majesty is satisfied!"

Guo An also picked up a musket, and at the same time picked up a bayonet from the side, mounted it on the musket, and according to his memory, he played it twice at random, and then he couldn't resist it, and slowly erected the spear.

"Good!"

Zhu Di suddenly shouted, looking at Guo An, his eyes shining.

"We didn't expect that Guo Qing would still have such skills, come and practice with us!"

Guo An's face changed, and he hurriedly handed the musket in his hand to Zhu Gaochi on the side.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen casually compares twice, how can he be Your Majesty's opponent?

Your Majesty, you should still practice with Your Highness! ”

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Yisha and all the eunuchs in the palace were also dumbfounded,

Dinghaihou dared to do this?

After a while, after Zhu Gaochi reacted, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.

"Teacher...... Dad, the child's body is not good, it is not your opponent at all! ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi, "You have such a strong body, what's the use?" ”

On the side, Guo An also nodded slowly.

"Your Highness, you have to believe in yourself, and you will be able to reduce ten times with one force! Your Majesty's martial arts are strong, but your body is strong and your strength is also great, Your Majesty can't help you for a while! ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened, and he waved his hand again and again, "No, no, although I am strong, I don't really have much strength."

Moreover, I am both a minister and a son of men, how can I do it with my father!

On this musket, there is such a sharp bayonet......"

Guo An nodded with a look of agreement, "Your Royal Highness's filial piety is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty!" ”

The corners of Zhu Gaochi's mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered, "Then the teacher also handed me the musket!" ”

"Alas!"

Guo An sighed helplessly, and said seriously: "Your Highness, you seem to have gained a lot of weight in the past few days!" ”

"Huh?" ‘

Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression froze, and this time he began to look at Zhu Gaochi seriously.

The more I looked, the more my brow furrowed.

Because of this period of time, he has seen Zhu Gaochi every day, and he really hasn't seen Zhu Gaochi's getting obese.

And now, Zhu Gaochi seems to have swelled in a circle.

"Teacher, I don't know, since I came to Jingshi, I don't eat a lot every day, but I'm getting fatter and fatter!"

Guo An said: "Your Highness eats more meat and sweets every day? ”

"How does the teacher know?"

Zhu Gaochi was shocked, he himself likes to eat sugar, and the chef in Beijing is more good at making sweets than in the north, so his daily meals are mostly sweets and meat.

As for vegetables......

Guo An continued: "Your Highness eats very few vegetarian dishes! ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded slightly, "What the teacher said is not wrong. ”

Guo An said helplessly, "Your Highness, sugar and meat are both high-calorie foods, and fat and carbohydrates are the most.

His Royal Highness eats the most of these foods every day, and His Royal Highness reviews the chapters in the palace all day long, and he doesn't practice martial arts or exercise, so he is getting more and more obese! ”

"Guo Qing, what is high calorie? What are fats and carbohydrates......

Zhu Di, Zhu Gaochi and others were all full of doubts when they listened.

"Your Majesty, high calories are ...... Nutrition ......"

Guo An thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, high-calorie food is the most nutritious food, and fat and carbohydrates are the components of our flesh. ”

Zhu Di didn't bother with these words, and said directly: "So, Chi'er is getting obese and obese because he eats more meat and sweets?" ”

"Exactly!"

Guo An nodded slowly.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi, "From now on, the meat and sweets you eat on weekdays must be reduced by half!" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Gaochi looked embarrassed.

However, in the face of Zhu Di's determined gaze, Zhu Gaochi could only nod slightly, "Yes, Dad!" ”

Guo An asked again: "I don't know how usually, Your Highness likes to eat some sweet snacks?" ”

Zhu Gaochi: "......"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi, "Don't eat sweets and snacks anymore!" ”

Guo An said: "It's best, Your Highness doesn't eat any snacks!" ”

Zhu Gaochi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Teacher, if you don't eat snacks, I can't help being hungry!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned.

Although they ate three meals a day, the interval was relatively long, and he sometimes couldn't stand the hunger.

Guo An thought for a while and said, "Your Highness can eat snacks with less sugar, or pasta, if you eat more fruits, it will be better!" ”

"Teacher, don't worry, from tomorrow, I will try to eat as little sweets and meat as possible!"

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly responded.

He knew from the bottom of his heart that this teacher would follow him in other things, but only in the matter of eating and losing weight, this teacher was particularly attentive and persistent.

And his father's mother, in this matter, actually has the same attitude as his teacher, which is very strange.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and said, "Hmph, it's not as much as possible, it's that we must reduce it by five ...... Probably! ”

Zhu Gaochi's face was bitter, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, Dad!" ”

Guo An also nodded slowly, "Your Highness, try to see the effect first!" ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded hurriedly.

Guo An looked at Zhu Di again, "Your Majesty, this kind of bayonet combined with a musket can be a sharp weapon for my Shenji battalion generals?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded heavily, "This steel knife can not only be combined with a musket as a weapon to kill the enemy. In addition, this steel knife is also very useful on weekdays! ”

Guo An said: "In this case, please also ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to let the Ordnance Bureau forge a large number of steel knives and muskets of this style as the standard weapons of the soldiers and generals of the Shenji Battalion!" ”

"Good! ……”

With an edict sent from the Mukden Temple.

Guo An also returned home, went into the study, took out the banknotes, wrote out some arithmetic formulas, and handed them to the guard Xu Yong.

"Give these arithmetic formulas to Liu Sheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, these formulas are formulas on how to calculate the angle and distance of the artillery, so that those generals can learn this formula, and they can point the artillery in their hands and hit wherever they want!"

Hearing this, Xu Yong's expression was solemn, "Master Hou rest assured, the last general will definitely hand over this arithmetic formula to Commander Liu, and will not let anyone see it." ”

Guo An smiled faintly, "It's okay, it's just some arithmetic formulas, even if outsiders look at it, they don't know it!" ”

"Don't worry, Hou Ye, unless the end is about to die, no one will be able to see this formula!"

Xu Yong still looked solemn.

"Whatever you want!"

Guo An waved his hand helplessly, and Xu Yong took five Yanshan guards and personally escorted him to the Shenji Camp.

Half an hour later.

Inside the Divine Machine Camp.

Seeing the formula sent by Xu Yong, Liu Sheng's eyes lit up, "Come on, prepare two artillery pieces and six shells for Ben General, let's test it." ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Sheng also got up and walked out.

He was going to test the formulas for himself.

In a test site in the Shenji Battalion, Liu Sheng, his ministers Rude and Su Sheng, as well as several lieutenants, stood behind the two artillery pieces.

Liu Sheng stared at the formula for a while, and then shouted: "Come on, raise the muzzle of the cannon by thirty angles!" ”

"Yes!"

Several soldiers were very skillful in turning the turntable behind the artillery, and the muzzle of the cannon was slowly raised.

"Put!"

With Liu Sheng's shout, a spark followed the lead and burrowed into the tail of the artillery.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the muzzle.

The grass in front of several people, thousands of paces, suddenly exploded, and dust was scattered.

One of the soldiers quickly ran towards the explosion point.

It was a long time before the soldier returned.

"Returning to the command, the explosion point is a thousand and ten steps away from here!"

"It's only ten steps ahead!"

Liu Sheng's eyes suddenly widened, and his face was full of surprise: "Test another cannon and raise it by thirty angles!" ”

"Commander, the angle has been raised by thirty!"

"Ignite, launch!"

"Whoa!"

"Zizi ......"

"Boom ......"

When another explosion occurred on the grass thousands of paces ahead, Liu Sheng looked at the soldiers on the side.

"Probe!"

"Whoa!"

The soldier answered, and ran briskly forward.

Soon.

Then he ran back again with a happy face.

"Returning to the command, nine hundred and ninety-six steps!"

"Four steps off?"

Liu Sheng was not surprised, "The angle is raised by ten again!" ”

"Whoa!"

"Ignition, fire!"

"Whoa!"

"Boom ......"

……

"General Qiyu, this time it's eight hundred and fifty steps!"

"Try another one!"

……

"General, this time it's eight hundred and sixty steps!"

……

"Hahaha, God, Hou Ye is really a god! No wonder, Master Hou must let those cubs learn arithmetic!

As long as this formula can be used, wouldn't it be possible to use artillery to bombard a bird a thousand steps away, and kill it with one shot? ”

"Yes, Dinghai Hou is really a genius!"

“……”

With the results of the formula and artillery tests coming out, all the soldiers and generals of the entire Shenji Battalion were shocked.

……

A few days later.

Several impeachment folds and entered the Fengtian Temple.

"Evil King, it's really lawless......"

After watching the recital, Zhu Di's face was full of anger.

"Dad, I wonder which vassal king made you angry?"

On the side, Zhu Gaochi, who had just rested, was shocked by Zhu Di's anger and hurriedly asked.

"Hmph, look for yourself."

Zhu Di threw the books in his hand to Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Gaochi hurriedly looked at them.

"Uncle Wang?"

As soon as he saw the impeached vassal king, Zhu Gaochi's eyes shrank.

Acting King Zhu Gui, ranked twelve.

Although the ranking is small, her mother is Guo Huifei, the daughter of Guo Zixing, the king of Chuyang, and her mother's power is in Daming, which is a behemoth.

Then, his concubine was the second daughter of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan.

In other words, Zhu Gui's wife is in the vein of the Duke of Wei and has a close relationship with the empress.

The most troublesome thing for Zhu Gaochi is the content of the impeachment chapter.

"On behalf of the king Zhu Gui, he killed to get rich, and the people of the country were miserable......"

"Acting Wang Zhu Gui, killing people at will, robbing property, driving the soldiers and civilians of Datong to work as coolies for the Wangfu, repairing houses, and even abusing them......"

"Building a ...... on behalf of the king"

Another King of Qin?

Zhu Gaochi had a direct headache and subconsciously looked at Zhu Di.

"Dad, what are you going to do with these pieces?"

"Such an unkind vassal king, how to govern the domain, how to be the domain of our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Di said angrily: "Chi'er, let's call the acting king to Jingshi and interrogate him well!" ”

"Yes, Dad!"

Zhu Gaochi responded.

Zhu Di said again: "It's just right, it's almost the New Year's Day, and we will also summon the rest of the kings to Jingshi to meet each other."

Although the imperial examination is too good, it's not that no one can't control them!

Moreover, aren't they also inquiring about the vassal king's cut? Let's make it clear to them! ”

"Daddy is wise!"

Zhu Gaochi nodded again and again.
